Fables

Fables 04:22
Fables and our lies Humble little tries Broken drawn out cries Out here it is getting hot, dear Did I ever love you? Think about it. Thirsty, wild, weak and willing I prepared to love you Didn’t happen. Oooo Oooo I ran to the lonesome desert To escape the coldness I created. But the heat waves visions in the dust, babe Memories of heartache has me silent. Fables and our lies Our humble little tries Broken drawn out cries Why don’t I plan me a visit Come see how your doin’ Would you mind that? That’ll give me just enough time To sink back in your mind as I’m leavin’ Oooo Oooo Though I rose up in your eastern sky It’s to the west, I’ll be settin’ Don’t get down, it’s just how I am wound I don’t belong where I’m needed Fables and our lies Our humble little tries Broken drawn out cries What you said, what you said you’d be When you said you weren’t good for me What you said, what you said you’d be When you said it, you set me free Ooooo Ooooo Ooooo Fables and our lies Our humble little tries Broken drawn out cries

I ran into you again today You’d think I’d have something more clever to say Cause you don’t know, you don’t know the way I see you It’s a silent dizzy thing But who knows, who knows Perhaps the same thought crossed your mind I wonder how many more times it will take For me to go out on the line and say CHORUS You’re gonna be my lovin’ man You’re gonna be my lovin’ man You’re gonna be my lovin’ man And I’m gonna be your lovin’ woman baby Doo doo doo You’re gonna be my lovin’ man You’re gonna be my lovin’ man You’re gonna be my lovin’ man And I’m gonna be your lovin’ woman baby Doo doo doo, doo doo doo No one compares with you You’re so pure and oh so true Well I admire all that you do And I just wanna be close to you, oh So pardon my longing gaze But I’m sure this is so far from a phase It seems our paths align our fate And so I think it’s time we get this all straight CHORUS

Sly Stranger 04:11
The fox said to the crow, “Pretty bird, sing me your new song” So “falalalala lalala” Lesson learned, don’t trust a flatterer Never a flatterer They’re out for your bread, your bed, maybe your head Sly Stranger, don’t trust em, no The fox fell in a well, but he did not ask for help, no He’s too smart, much too smart So the fox said to the goat, “Soon there’ll be a drought” Without a doubt, that fool jumped down That fool came down Sly Stranger, don’t trust em, no Oh Sly Stranger, don’t trust em, no And in the skin of a sheep, the fox did creep Strolled with the herd, never said no word But soon he did attack He stabbed them in the back Looks deceive, be slow to believe In Sly Strangers, don’t trust em, no Oh Sly Stranger, don’t trust em, no Everyday they are waiting for you If you look away, they will take it from you Don’t trust the fox that knocks Don’t trust the fox who’s knocking at your door He’s at your door Sly Stranger, don’t trust em, no Oh Sly Stranger, don’t trust em, no Sly Stranger, don’t trust em, no

Treat Her 04:38
Oh take time for your lady Hold the door for your girl Make surprises for that lady Even if she’s easy to please Don’t walk in front of your lady You don’t know what’s creepin’ up behind Most of all just love your lady And make her laugh when the day is done Honey pie, sure you’re nice, but if you want her don’t drive her crazy Just treat her like a lady You’re the apple of her eye, but all she does is cry Don’t be so lazy, just treat her like a lady Well maybe you’ll find that she’s gone, walked out of your life In the arms of another, but maybe before she’s gone, walked out the door You’ll learn to treat her right Oh, treat her right, oh you know you gotta treat her, treat her right Treat her right, oh you know you gotta treat her, treat her right baby Treat her right So take the time to tell your lady You’ll be the rock upon her shore Cause when you really love a lady The life you lead will mean so much more
5.
Hometown 03:56
There’s plenty of room for dreamin’ As you’re starin’ across an empty field It makes it hard to settle When you feel there’s something more I won’t need a map or any road sign To get me where I’m goin’ I know I’ll find the way I hear it callin’ for me, singin’ out my name CHORUS Do you choose your hometown? Or does it choose you? Will you find the place that makes you feel brand new? It’s where you fit right in Where you belong Cause when you feel at home, you can’t go wrong Well it needs me and I need my hometown Some call their house their home Some call their heart their home Some call family, or friends, or dogs Some call their car their home the road, or the air Well where’s your home? What makes your home? You choose your own PO Box, your own postal code It’s your hometown CHORUS

Rock Bottom 02:41
Sophie says she’s lonely Derek, he is broke Jill and Tommy ain’t got no mommy And Maria she has no hope John and Lea got married Oh so typically June Lea walked in to find Josie with him And now it’s August and they are through We’ve all problems see And we’ve all had therapy We’ve hit rock bottom multiple times And still find ourself at the back of the line Ricky woke up in the same clothes He’s worn for weeks in a row His brother Cleo stole all of his doe And now he stumbles down Nolensville Road Lisa, she’s hearing the voices And claims that the government knows She writes them a letter to say that she’s better And tells them that they need to go We’ve all problems see And we’ve all had therapy We’ve hit rock bottom multiple times And still find ourself at the back of the line

Open Roads 04:24
Turning my head, lookin’ every direction No, I never needed your lousy protection I close my eyes and I run, I run, I run No one will find me coming undone Oh Ohhh Oh Oh Ohhh No matter how much time you’ve killed, you claim to know me still But you never did, no, you never did oh and you never will So I’m cuttin’ down all the limbs that kept me reachin’ for you Kept me feelin’ so blue, kept you so untrue Oh Ohhh Oh Oh Ohhh Now I can’t recall just how I felt at all Oh no I can’t recall just how I felt at all Oh no I can’t recall how I felt, I felt at all Ohhh Open Roads, Ohh Open roads, open roads for the willing It’s all a test, you gotta trust what you’re feeling Oh open roads, open roads for the searching Go on ahead, you best get to looking For those open roads, ohhh They’ll never tie you down, They’ll never tie you down They’ll never tie you down, They’ll never tie you down

Tell me ‘bout the good times that came before How the world was booming when you got back from war You lived out in the country, never locked the door And no one feared their brother, cause God fed the poor How many revolutions does it take to make a change? How many changes will be enough for this revolving game? I told you once and I tell you twice, there’s more bad than good Cause we’re heavy at the top, when the guns don’t stop The choice ain’t choice yours, no the choice ain’t yours The choice ain’t yours How am I to survive in city life with all their lights and all their lies and I will survive on the country side with my apple pies and blue skies If you take me, I will take you (I will take you) If you take me, I will take you (I will take you) If you take me, I will take you Take me to the country, throw me back in time Take me to the country, I’ve got a simpler time in mind How am I to survive in city life with all their lights and all their lies and I will survive on the country side with my apple pies and blue skies
