1 — Cool My Fear
Been around here, so many times
Didn’t lose my conviction, it would be my crime
Oh you know I got to cool my fear
Oh you know I got to cool my fear
I won’t hide my suspicion, or feel indecision
A child of blindness now, don’t hesitate the vows
Oh you know I got to cool my fear
Oh you know I got to cool my fear
Oh yeah I got the feeling, I won’t let it go
Oh yeah I got the feeling, I won’t let it go now
Oh don’t you do it, don’t you do it, oh don’t you do it, hey
Been around here, so many times
Didn’t lose my faith, because it’s on my time
Oh you know I got to cool my fear
Oh you know I got to cool my fear
Oh be tearing you up now, oh be tearing you down
Time to keep on moving on, oh here it comes
Oh yeah I love the feeling, oh yeah I love the feeling
Oh never let it go
Don’t you do it, oh don’t you do it
Don’t you do it, oh don’t you do it
Don’t you do it, oh don’t you do it

2 — Flawed Perfection
Sure shots, or have nots, don’t try and tell us all we got
Never mind uncertainty, heading down the path to eternity
This flawed perfection a revelation to find
Lying down there deep in this heart of mine
Lying so deep now
Don’t try and stop us now, it won’t make a difference in lonely town
Rejected, but redirected, taking us to somewhere better now
This flawed perfection a revelation to find
Lying down there deep in this heart of mine
It’s always been this way, ever since I could remember when
You will find out maybe in the end
Oh maybe in the end
Oh maybe in the end
Oh maybe in the end
Is this how it ends now
Hold on to imperfection, ask not where it leads
Your instinct may be the answer, and maybe that’s all you need
This flawed perfection a revelation to find
Lying down there deep in this heart of mine
It’s always been this way, ever since I could remember when
You will find out maybe in the end
Oh maybe in the end
Oh maybe in the end
Oh maybe in the end

3 — Let Go
Maybe the sun won’t shine
In my backdoor but I finally, finally let go
Of the of things I lost so long ago
Finally let go of things I lost so long ago
Finally let go of things I lost so long ago
Oh, yeah
Fell so hard day by day
Cried so hard night by night
To let go, of the things I lost so long ago
Finally let go of the things I lost so long ago
Oh, yeah
Don’t let this heartache throw you down
We’re all strangers in this town
Telling you brother that’s how we’re bound
Oh, yes it is, how we’re bound
Oh, yes it is
Oh, yeah
Don’t let them medicate you
Realize that it’s never too late
To let go, of things you lost so long ago
To let go, of things you lost so long ago
Oh to let go, of the things you lost so long ago
Oh yes you did you let go, oh yes you did you let go
Oh, yes you did you let go, yes you did

4 — Stubborn Kind
Well the stubborn kind, that you don’t really know
What’s in their mind my brother in the afterglow
We was in his house now, when it all went down
And a man walked in and said I want my ten thousand now
He said now Charlie don’t mind because Charlie don’t care
He’ll accept the cost the darkness will bare
Just like living and dying today, I heard him say now
Ain’t no second chances
You don’t have to think twice
If they’re topping you out my brother’s gonna throw the dice
If they’re topping you out my brother’s gonna throw the dice
If they’re topping you out, you know, my brother’s gonna throw the dice
Ahhh, here we go now

5 — High And Low
Nobody said it’s gonna be easy
Lose your dreams, you may lose your mind
Toting that rock sometimes makes you crazy
Toting that rock sometimes makes you mad
Close the door now on yesterday
Don’t forget mistakes you made
Real mistake Baby is stop trying
Crying over things that you can’t change
Now you’re getting high and low
Now you’re getting high and low
Picking up the pieces as you go, pick up now
Remembering soon it will be over
Sin and sorrow will have it’s end
Don’t try to live by others expectations
Finding out they’re your good time friend
Now you’re getting high and low
Now you’re getting high and low
Picking up the pieces as you go
Oh pick up now, pick up
Give up your vow, give up your vow

6 — All I Need
Screaming down the hallway long ago
I went looking for something that I didn’t know
Paying the dues it’s alright with me
I tell you that’s all I need
I want to tell you that’s all I need
Keeping the faith yeah banging the drum
Take a long train of blues calling from above
Don’t try and listen what some people say
Take a whole lot of love make you feel this way
Baby don’t you dig it, Baby don’t you dig it
Oh, it sounds so sweet
Oh, don’t you dig it, Baby don’t you dig it
Oh, it sounds so sweet
I’m gonna love you with a feeling tonight
Oh, that scene that’s going down
Like a brand new dance coming to your town
And I got mine now you should know
Baby that’s all I need, oh Baby that’s all I need
Tell you that’s all, tell you that’s all I need
Well I don’t need a suit and I don’t need a car
Tell you I don’t look like a Hollywood star
And I don’t care where you came from
If you’re in the mood Baby you’re my one
Oh, don’t you dig it, Baby don’t you dig it
Oh, it sounds so sweet
Baby don’t you dig it, oh don’t you dig it
Oh, it sounds so sweet

7 — Ride On Baby
I’m going down, little country town
That’s where I’m going, that’s where I’m bound
No I ain’t looking to find the end
I’m just going now around the bend
I’m gonna ride on Baby, ride on Baby ride on
I’m gonna ride on Baby, ride on Baby ride on
Now I’m going on this journey
Heading down now a one way street
It’s my choice, not my chances
Nobody’s gonna steal the beat, no
I’m gonna ride on Baby, ride on Baby ride on
I’m gonna ride on Baby, ride on Baby ride on
Come on take a walk with me now
Come on take a walk with me, come on
I don’t worry about my fate
In my actions, I stake my claim
Not let the others that I would point to
And asked them to take the blame no
I’m gonna ride on Baby, ride on Baby ride on
I’m gonna ride on Baby, ride on Baby ride on
Who is gonna drive the car now
Who is gonna drive the car now
Who is gonna drive the car now
Gitty up

8 — Cry Any Longer
I’m the one whose gonna die, oh in my dying time
I’m here to tell you now there ain’t no exceptions
Ain’t no exceptions
Oh I didn’t heed the warning, and I didn’t see the signs
A waiting declaration, this final mystery
The stakes to play the game that dies while you’re living
It dies while you live
Oh, I didn’t heed the warning, and I didn’t see the signs
Ain’t gonna cry any longer
I’m gonna cross the white line
I can feel you getting stronger, it was a matter of time
I feel you getting stronger
In this great divide I say
Oh where boundaries lie
Where one ends and one is beginning, one is beginning
Oh I didn’t heed the warning, and I didn’t see the signs
Ain’t gonna cry any longer
I’m gonna cross the white line
I can feel it getting stronger
It was a matter of time

9 — Fool's Dream
I was talking with Mambo Jim, talking about the shape I’m in
He said I don’t want to criticize you
But I’m gonna have to cut you down to size
I know what he’s thinking now, oh yes I know it’s true
He said man it’s gonna catch up to you
Little Jimmy done said it right now
He said man you’re just out of sight
If you gonna do what a fool might do
Tell you now brother that’s the end of you
I know what he’s thinking now, oh yeah I know it’s true
He said man it’s gonna catch up to you
Oh, yeah what a fool believes, oh yeah what a fool believes now
Oh what a fool’s paradise could mean now, one more time
Oh what a fool’s paradise could mean
Little Jimmy you just said it right now
Oh little Jimmy you done said it right now
See me rocking as I pass you by
Don’t talk about me because I could be high
Girls move me at their will
I’m just trying to tell you people how I feel, oh yeah

10 — Part Time Love
Baby when you told me, you said honey walk on by
I don’t know what you’re thinking, I’m just trying to survive
I don’t want no part time loving, no loving in my life
No loving in my life
Then you told me, ahhhh you said it right on time
And everything you told me, turns out to be a stinking lie
I don’t want no part time loving, no loving in my life
Oh, in my life
Put your knees together Baby now, you just wait and see
I don’t want no back door women for me, oh in my life
Two kinds of things in this world, Baby, I can’t stand
A lying woman and a mistreating man
I don’t want no part time loving, no loving in my life
Oh, no loving in my life
Oh, no loving in my life

11 — In Front Of You
I must be crazy or losing my mind
You keep on looking darling, looking so far behind, oh yeah
Oh these memories are so easy to love
Tell me whose lips you be kissing, when the nighttime comes
Standing right in front of you, showing you what you always knew
Standing right in front of you, showing you what you always knew
You know the best things in life are free
If you just give it time, oh you gonna see
It’s so easy, it’s so easy
Oh you need some arms, Baby hold you through the night
Oh, and a lover darling that’s gonna treat you right
Standing right in front of you, showing you what you always knew
Standing right in front of you, showing you what you always knew
It was standing right in front of you, showing you what you always knew
It was standing right in front of you, showing you what you always knew
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

12 — Wrong Direction
Heading out in the wrong direction, oh you can’t help yourself
You know you need protection, from you and no one else
Your modern times your modern ways
Oh, they left me so cold, yeah, yeah
Let there be an end, and find a place for you
To be forgotten now, oh such a savage truth
Your modern times and modern ways
Oh, they left me so cold
Breaking down a wall of illusion, invades your life today
Oh, I say it again
Oh, sing it to me brother now, oh you’re on the right road
Oh, sing it to me sister, ain’t doing what you’ve been told
This last true luxury, to live just how you choose
You’ve got to fight the fight, or you’re gonna lose it
Your modern times your modern ways
Oh, they left me so cold
Breaking down a wall of illusion, invades your life today
Oh, I say it again, say it again
Breaking down a wall of illusion, invades your life today
Oh, I say it again, I’ll say it again
Holding out now, moving on
Holding out now, now I’m gone
