CLOSE TO ME
Well she's a hard workin' mama
The girl's a blast
Workin' two jobs a week
And goin' to actin' class
She's got the magic
And she's found the groove
Sure found the way, baby
To make me move
Maybe someday, maybe someday
Someday she'll surely see
She'll finally see
I'm just tryin' to
Tryin' to get you close to me (close to me, close to me)
Tryin' to get you close to me (close to me, close to me)
She drove an eighteen wheeler
Like she's made out of steel
But she laid down and cried
When love got too real
So I slow down the message
And I speed up the pace
Said I love you, darlin'
Face to face
Maybe someday, maybe someday
Maybe someday
Someday she'll surely see
She'll surely see
I'm just tryin' to
Tryin' to get you close to me (close to me, close to me)
Tryin' to get you close to me (close to me, close to me)
Yeah!
Someday you'll finally see
(Close to me, close to me)
(Close to me, close to me)
Oh she's a hard workin' mama
You know the girl's a blast
She works two jobs a week
And goin' to actin' class
She's found the magic
And she's got the groove
Sure found the way, darlin'
To make me move
Maybe someday, maybe someday
Someday she'll
Someday she'll finally see
She'll finally see
I'm just tryin' to
Tryin' to get you close to me (close to me, close to me)
Tryin' to get you close to me (close to me, close to me)
Tryin' to get you close to me (close to me, close to me)
Tryin' to get you close to me (close to me, close to me)

Close to me...
RAIN
I got a window lookin' out at nowhere
I got a house as quiet as a tomb
I got a hundred thousand million memories
Crowded into every room
There are pieces of a faded picture
Held together by the tears I've cried
And they're all that remains unbroken
Since the moment that you said good bye
All it ever does is rain
All it ever does is rain
All I ever feel is pain
All it ever does is rain
All it ever does is rain...
I got a photograph in living color
You'd almost think it was alive
It sends me off at nine each morning
And greets me every night at five
There's a copy of it in my pocket
And another on the bedroom wall
There's a hundred that I've torn to pieces
But I could never get rid of them all
All it ever does is rain
All it ever does is rain
All I ever feel is pain
All it ever does is rain
All it ever does is rain...
Oh!
Every time I think of freedom
I think about a sunny day
With nothin' all around but sunshine
Every cloud has gone away
But when I think about that freedom
That's when I think about the pain
And memories return like thunder
And leave me standin' in the rain
All it ever does is rain
All it ever does is rain
All I ever feel is pain
All it ever does is rain
All it ever does is rain...
STRANGER BLUES
Well I'm a stranger here
And I just rode into town
Well I'm a stranger here
And I just rode into town
Just because I am a stranger
Everybody wanna dog me around
Well I'm goin' back down South
If I have to wear out 99 pair of shoes
Well I'm goin' back down South
If I have to wear out 99 pair of shoes
Then I won't be no more stranger
I won't have no more stranger blues, yeah
Yeah, I like it
Well sometimes I wonder
Do my good gal know I'm here
Well sometimes I wonder
Do my good gal know I'm here
'Cause if she do
She sure don't seem to care
Don't seem to care
Yeah, look out now!

AIN’T THAT JUST LIKE A WOMAN
Old Adam was happy as a man could be
Till Eve started messin' with that old apple tree
Ain't that just like a woman, ain't that just like a woman
I believe that's just like a woman, they'll do it every time
Lot took his wife out for a malted
She wouldn't mind her business, boy, did she get salted
Ain't that just like a woman, ain't that just like a woman
Ain't that just like a woman, they'll do it every time
Samson thought Delilah was on the square
'Till one night she clean pulled out all his hair
Ain't that just like a woman, ain't that just like a woman
I believe it's just like a woman, they'll do it every time
Yes they will!
Well Marie Antoinette, she met 'em at the game
Said, "They ain't got no bread, just let 'em eat cake"
Ain't that just like a woman, ain't that just like a woman
I believe it's just like a woman, they'll do it every time
You can buy a woman clothes, give her money on the side
No matter what you do she's never satisfied
Ain't that just like a woman, I believe it's just like a woman
Ain't that just like a woman, they'll do it every time
Yeah!
Yeah!
Ain't that just like a woman
They'll do it every time!
Yeah...
WORLD OF CONTRADICTIONS
I make my living feeling rotten, but I feel good when I play blues
I make my living feeling rotten, but I feel good when I play blues
In this world of contradictions, what can a poor boy do?
Some folks say you can't sing blues when you're feelin' good
I guess when things are lousy, I oughta knock on wood
I make my livin' feelin' rotten, but I feel good when I play blues
In this world of contradictions, man, what can a poor boy do?
I guess the worse things get, the better they must be
This mixed up way of thinkin' man, it's killin' me
I make my livin' feelin' rotten but I feel good when I play blues
Yes I do
In this world of contradictions what can a poor boy do?
Yeah, what can I do?
I kinda like it!
Well if I feel a bit better, I'll probably go broke
It's enough to give a man the blues and man, it ain't no joke
I make my livin' feelin' rotten but I feel good when I play blues

Baby, it'll be me, and I'll be lookin' for you
Gonna look in the city where the lights are blue
Gonna search the coutry side and all the haystacks, too
