1 — Got To Know

Gather round me people got a message I want to tell
It ain’t no tale of pain and woe or just how hard I fell
You keep saying baby now information please
I got to know, got to know
Well I ain’t saying, well I ain’t saying
Come a little closer Baby whisper in my ear
Tell me all those things that you wanted me to fear
You keep saying baby now information please
I got to know, got to know
Well I ain’t saying, well I ain’t saying

Baby I ain’t saying, well I ain’t saying

Everything that matters comes due in its time
You may need protection from this dirty little lie
You keep saying baby now information please
I got to know, got to know
Well I ain’t saying, well I ain’t saying
Well I ain’t saying, please got to know

2 — Sure Thing

Now Baby’s been wrong long enough
Maybe I’m gone and just don’t know
I’ve been told about a thousand times
But oh my brother I ain’t take no cure
And I just ain’t satisfied
Yeah, yeah

Now move up North if you got the need
Moving down south don’t bother me
I’ve been told about a thousand times
Oh my brother ain’t take no cure
And I just ain’t satisfied
Well there ain’t no sure thing, in this life I know
Well there ain’t no sure thing
You know I been told
And I just ain’t satisfied
Yeah, yeah

Now maybe she long, maybe she tall
Maybe I’m the biggest fool of all
I’ve been told about a thousand times
But oh my brother ain’t take no cure
Well I just ain’t satisfied
There’s no sure thing, in this life I know
Well there ain’t no sure thing
You know I been told
Tick tock tick tock, keep moving, tick tock moving on
Yeah, yeah

4 — So Tired

Rolling out like yesterday
When all my dreams got packed away
Even if Johnny, Johnny be good, he’d sell his soul now if he could
Now I don’t need no thought protection
And I don’t need no resurrection
No, hell no

Taking the things just how they come
There ain’t a dam thing I’m running from
So when I die just make it easy
Seen too much pain and diseasing
Now I don’t need no thought protection
And I don’t need no resurrection
No, hell no
I, get so damn tired, and you keep talking to me
I, get so damn tired, and you still talking to me

Wasted days and wasted nights
I changed it all ain’t got it right
Nobody here getting out alive
Believing any different man is just a lot of jive
And I don’t need no thought protection
And I don’t need no resurrection
No, hell no
I, get so damn tired, and you keep talking to me
I, get so damn tired, and you’re still talking me

5 — Just A Little

Don’t go, I’m asking you to stay
Baby don’t go now, I’m asking you to stay
Just a little while longer, hear you shouting out my name
Come on now, come on let me see
Come on now, come on let me see
Just a little while longer let your love fall on me
Summertime, summertime oh and I was feeling good
Summertime, summertime she left like I knew she would
Oh I’m broken down now

Hear my plea now, oh baby hear my plea
Stay with me, oh baby stay with me
Just a little while longer, let your love fall on me
Just a little while longer, let your love fall on me
Just a little while longer, let your love fall on me

6 — It's True

Bless my soul what’s wrong with me
Shaking that bush got the best of me
Lying in a downed out basement in my mind
Well dog
Meet me at the corner of jump and jive
Downtown baby don’t realize
All yesterday was just a dream

And all I know, all I know is true
And all I know, all I know is true
Bring it down
And all I know, all I know is true
And all I know, all I know is true

You said what’s on your mind
Drop down mama don’t pay the fine
Everything you said was just a lie
You said it’s only me
Lord I’m tired and just can’t see
Who’s gonna stand beside me now
And all I know, all I know is true
And all I know, all I know is true
Ooh it’s coming after me
Ooh it’s coming after me

7 — Confidence Man

Confidence man come down and see me sometime
Stay for awhile Baby and see what we gonna find
You steal what you love I know you love what you steal
Top of the barrel Baby, you quote the Lord in every deal
Refusal to suspend disbelief, a failure of imaginary kind
Continue to invent the experience I cannot find
The role that you play identity is so hard to find
Your words so long they seem like a country mile
You talk and you talk believe every word you say
You keep on talking till you got them in your sway
Refusal to suspend disbelief, a failure of imaginary kind
Continue to invent the experience I cannot find

Confidence man you hold the world together
Confidence man you make it sound so much better

Confidence man come down and see me sometime
Whisper in my ear answers too hard to find
Be careful and know, know just what you serve
The truth of the matter Baby we get what we deserve
Whoa yeah
Confidence man you hold the world together
Confidence man you make it sound so much better
Get up, and get down, little man come around

8 — Break Of Day

Watch what I say now, mind these words I say
Walk when I walk now, gimme that baby talk
Talking about the break of day now
Daylight will surely come
Remember my darling oh you’re my only one
Listen to me right now
People will come, oh yes and people will go
I got a lot behind me oh but I’m still in the show
Talking about the break of day now
Daylight will surely come 
Remember my darling, oh you’re my only one
Oh, yeah
Going downtown, we’re going downtown
Going downtown, we’re going downtown
Going downtown, we’re gonna have a real good time

Taking it down right now
Watch what I say, don’t let your dream slip away
Don’t cha do the dew, don’t let it happen to you
Talking about the break of day now
Daylight will surely come
Remember my darling oh you’re my only one
Remember my darling oh you’re my only one
Remember my darling oh you’re my only one
Oh listen to me right now
Walk when I walk now, gimme that baby

9 — Can't Go Back

You know it was a crazy time
I was so mixed up, but still I was feeling fine
Hard time was killing me I was in the groove
You know that I got to move
Hell there’re ain’t no guarantees
It’s a one way ticket now baby for you and me
And I can’t go back no more

She said she’s in love with me
If this is love it’s a place I don’t want to be
Sold me out right on time
Same old script, you know it was the same damn line 
Time and time and time again I make the choice
The one that’s got no end
And I can’t go back no more

Shine a light, shine a light, shine a light on me
Shine a light, shine a light help this poor boy see
Help me to understand free my mind
Free it from a troubled man
And I can’t go back no more, can’t go back, can’t go back no more 

Shine a light, shine a light, shine a light on me
Shine a light, shine a light, and help this poor boy see
Help me to understand free my mind 
Free it from a troubled man
And I can’t go back no more
I can’t go back, can’t go back no more

10 — Last Of Me

This may be the end of me
Come on down if you want to see
Oh but these beats keep getting stronger
I don’t know but it’s been seen, I don’t live my life in between
No yesterday, or no tomorrow     

Played with fire and it was wrong
Back in town and I’m going strong
Whoa, but maybe it’s much too late now
I can see it in your eyes you’ve been told a thousand lies
Now you’re standing on the judgement line
I don’t know how, I don’t know when, or how this story’s gonna end
Oh but this deal is going down now
And then it hits you so hard, and then hits you so hard
And then it hits you, what’cha gonna do 

Lay your head on that railroad track
I tell you brother you ain’t coming back
Ain’t nobody’s fault but your own
I would hope you realize what you are in others eyes
It don’t matter now, oh in the end
It don’t matter now, in the end
It don’t matter now, in the end

Come on Baby take a walk with me now
Come on Baby do the stroll with me now
Come on Baby do the jitterbug shake now
Yeah, yeah
