Someday, someday, somehow, someway
I’m going to Sunnyland
Someday, someday, somehow, someway
I’m going to Sunnyland
Sunnyland is where I belong
Sunnyland is what makes me strong
Sunnyland, take my hand
Won’t do what you tell me
I’m meant for Sunnyland
Someday, someday, somehow, someway
I’m going to Sunnyland
Someday, someday, somehow, someway
I’m going to Sunnyland
Sunnyland -- my people wait for me
Sunnyland, that’s where I’ll be truly free
Sunnyland, take my hand
This place don’t know me
I’m meant for Sunnyland
SOLO
Sunnyland, my soul is in the sky
Sunnyland – He’s there and so am I
Sunnyland, take my hand
Sweet dirt can’t hold me
I’m bound for Sunnyland
Sunnyland, take my hand
Sweet dirt can’t hold me
I’m bound for Sunnyland

I've Come Undone Again
05:06
|
|||
I’ve come undone again and I’m so blue
I’ve come undone again because of you
It’s not what I said or what you didn’t do
You didn’t hurt me/I didn’t lie to you
I can feel my heart break with all the love I have for you
I’ve come undone again and I’m so blue
I’ve come undone again -- What can I do?
It’s not the way you were or what you didn’t say
That makes me wish that I could walk away/from you
I can feel my heart break with all the love I have for you
It hurts to know you won’t believe me
I’m right here but you can’t see me
You don’t know that I love you so
You won’t love me until I’m gone
I’ve come undone again and I’m so blue
I’ve come undone again so what’s the use
Of saying what I feel when all you’re gonna do
Is push yourself away and say it isn’t true
That I can feel my heart break with all the love I have for you?
SOLO
I’ve come undone again and I’m so blue
I’ve come undone again so what’s the use
Of saying what I feel when all you’re gonna do
Is push yourself away and say it isn’t true
That I can feel my heart break with all the love I have for you
I can feel my heart break with all the love I have for you
I can feel my heart break with all the love I have for you

Jet Airliner
05:04
|
|||
Leavin' on out on the road I've been down before
Ridin' along on that big ol' jet plane I been thinkin' 'bout jumpin' out the door
'Cause my homeland lives so far away and I feel like it's all been done
Somebody's tryin' to make me stay and I've got to be on the run
Ooooh, big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Ooooh, big ol' jet airliner
'Cause it's here that I got to stay
I've been sittin' by the fireside, wonderin' where my strength is goin'
Lookin' through the mirror of life tryin' to figure out which way the wind is blowin'
But my heart keeps pushin' me backwards as I get aboard that 747
Ridin' high but with a tear in my eye
You know you got to go through hell before you get to heaven
Big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Ooooh, big ol' jet airliner
Cause it's here that I got to stay
SOLO
Goodbye to all my friends at home, goodbye to people I've trusted
I've got to go out and make my way
I might get rich, you know -- I might get busted
'Cause I'm goin' with a calm hesitation
God's gonna make a way
But there's so many people, Lord, to talk to
And a whole lot of debt to pay
Ooooh big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Ooooh big ol' jet airliner
'Cause it's here that I got to stay
Ooooh big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Ooooh big ol' jet airliner
'Cause it's here that I got to stay

Oh, Sun
04:03
|
|||
He’s living fast/He’s flying high/Into the sun
His time is now/His heart is there/His game is on
Oh, sun/Don’t take this one/When he falls free
When he falls down/upon the ground/send him to me
He’s on a tear/and he don’t care/who’s right or wrong
‘Cause he’s so high/up in the sky/where he belongs
Oh, sun/Don’t take this one/just let him be
He has it all/but he might fall/into the sea
Oh, sun/shining down on me
Oh, sun/just let him be
SOLO
He’s on the ground/spinning around/can’t last for long
Problems collide/the sea inside/feathers all gone
Oh, sun/you took this one/so quietly
Everything’s done/and now he’s gone/so far from me
Everything’s done/and now he’s gone/so far from me

Sadness Everlasting
04:43
|
|||
There are aches that never leave you
That never fail to grieve you
‘cause you couldn’t let it go
you’ll never know what could have been
So now you’re doing hard time
Lying to yourself about the past
And all the ways you’re sure that you will mend
You’re the victim/victimizing
Constantly antagonizing
You pull them chose as you shove them all away
And yet you hope for true love
It’s all that you can think of
But true love doesn’t want to come your way.
You kiss your love and feel sorrow ever flowing
Hold her close and call her what you will
You give your heart and get sadness everlasting
What you refuse to see your soul will surely feel
It was you that brought your ruin
You did your own undoing
You closed your eyes ignored the signs and let it roll along
And when it ran you over
You realized you didn’t know her
How could you stay when it was all so wrong
But when you know as much as you do
When you think people are see-through
You overthink your way on through another day
And when all is said and done
When you’ve lost another one
You get back up on your high horse and walk away
You kiss your love and feel sorrow ever flowing
Hold her close and call her what you will
You give your heart and get sadness everlasting
What you refuse to see your soul will surely feel

Somebody Else's Baby
04:34
|
|||
You know who you live with/you know who you love
Got a handle on him/like a fist in a glove
Well, that fist is gonna swing hard enough to make you sit and cry
And wonder why/you didn’t know
you couldn’t see how much it showed
You didn’t care/when you were told
your love was bought/your heart got sold
CHORUS
You know it won’t be too long before he’s somebody else’s baby
Yeah, it won’t be too long before he’s somebody else’s baby
Don’t listen to me/Just wait and see
That it won’t be too long before he’s somebody else’s baby
He knows who he lives with/he knows what he’s got
Got his world on a rope and it’s tied with a knot
Well that rope is a leash with a handle on either side
It opens wide/to let him in
and once inside/the games begin
The good times roll/they take their toll
That’s when you know/ who’s in control
CHORUS
It’s always the same/someone else is to blame when your good thing goes wrong
The next thing you know he’s still hanging around but he’s already gone
SOLO
CHORUS

Will You Or Won't You
02:56
|
|||
So many things in life aren’t certain
There is one thing that I know is true
Though you’re gone and my broken heart is hurting
The love I have still lingers just for you
Come back or stay gone/it doesn’t matter
Time will always set things right for me
Even though you felt you did just what you had to
Your guilty heart won’t ever let you be
CHORUS:
Will you or won’t you want my true love?
Will you let me go and pine forever more?
Will your heart stay on a string
Dangling away from everything
And anyone that only wants to love you so?
Will I or won’t I wait for you, love?
Will I watch you go and see you nevermore?
Will my heart ache oh so true
With so much love I have for you?
Will you or won’t you?
Oh, maybe we’ll never know
(Instrumental)
Heartbeats are fleeting/time is passing
Sometimes what we feel gets in the way
Real love is sure and everlasting
No matter what I do or what you say
CHORUS/OUT

My Big Iron Skillet
02:09
|
|||
You're out doin' wrong again, it's plain for all to see
And you think that here and home is where I ought to be
There's gonna be some changes made when you get home tonight
'Cause I'm gonna teach you wrong from right
With my big iron skillet in my hand
I'm gonna show you how a little woman
Can whup a great big man
If you live through the fight we're gonna have when you get home
You'll wake up and find yourself alone
You say you're sick and tired of me and that i look a mess
But its never dawned on you this is my only dress
I have never met a man who's quite the likes of you
I don't know why I ever said I do
With my big iron skillet in my hand
I'm gonna show you how a little woman
Can whup a great big man
If you live through the fight we're gonna have when you get home
You'll wake up and find yourself alone

The Other Side
03:59
|
|||
When the time to go has come/And you’re standing at the door
And you’re thinking of everyone here
Please remember that I loved you/And I always will
Until this old world disappears
CHORUS:
I’m not alone/never alone/For He keeps you right here in my heart
And that is where you’ll stay/no matter where I go
‘Til the Lord comes to carry me home
Through the troubles and the strain/and the heartaches and the pain
and the cruel things they do and they say
There is love enough to cover/all your hurt and all your fears
and keep all your demons away
I’m not alone/never alone/You know I loved you right from the start
And the love will stay between us/Though we’re far apart, I know
“Til the Lord comes to carry me home
SOLO
I’m not alone/never alone/Even though when Death comes we will part
I will see you again on the other side,
When the Lord comes to carry me home
I will see you again on the other side,
When the Lord comes to carry me home

Love Is A Wrecking Ball

Love Is A Wrecking Ball
Love is a weapon that is pointed right at me
Love makes me naked for all the world to see
Love is a long time ex that thinks he knows it all
Love is a raging fire
Love is a wrecking ball
Love is an ocean in my teacup so sublime
Love is a funhouse ride that scares me all the time
Love is the ache I feel when I swoon and fall
Love is a hand grenade
Love is a wrecking ball
You wrecked me
You wrecked me
You said things you never should have
Didn’t do all that you could have
You wrecked me
You wrecked me
And then I let you call me friend
To remind me once again/That
Love is so easy but it’s so hard on me
Love leaves me longing for what can never be
Love makes me so sad that I can’t cry at all
Love is an air raid bomb
Love is a wrecking ball
SOLO
You wrecked me
You wrecked me
You said things you never should have
Didn’t do all that you could have
You wrecked me
You wrecked me
Left me wallowing in pain
To remind me once again /That
Love is a wonder that washes over me
Love is a flower that blooms eternally
Love is so simple it makes no sense at all
Love is a thing divine
Love is a wrecking ball

I Feel Like Going Home
04:54
|
|||
Lord, I feel like going home
I tried and I failed and I'm tired and weary
And everything I've done was wrong
Now I feel like going home
Lord I tried to see it through
But it was too much for me
And now I'm coming home to you
Lord I feel like going home
Cloudy skies are coming in
And not a friend around to help me
From all the places I have been
Now I feel like going home
Lord, I feel like going home
I tried and I failed and I'm tired and weary
And everything I've done was wrong
Now I feel like going home
Lord I feel like going home
