You tell me every day that you love me and you Tell me that I’m your queen I really don’t understand it now How you could turn around and be so mean. So tell me... CHORUS: Why you wanna go and do that now, Baby Why you wanna make me so sad Why would you be so cruel when you know that I’m the best that you ever had I’ve known a fool or two in my day now, Honey I had to send them away I know that you’re smarter than that now, boy But you sure ain’t showin’ it today. So tell me... CHORUS SOLO You better get your act together now Honey You know what we have is superb You better start gettin’ it right now, boy ‘cuz I’d hate to have to kick you to the curb. Oh... CHORUS

I’ve got wolves Scratching and howling at my door I’ve got wolves Scratching and howling at my door They’re trying to get to my baby Trying to get to my girl I got a sweet-loving woman So hot and fine Yeah, a sweet-loving woman So sweet and kind And it’s a tough job, people Trying to keep that good lovin’ mine Don’t get me wrong My baby loves me so I say, don’t get me wrong You can’t be too careful, though ‘cuz every time I turn my back Some fool will try to give it a go I’ve got wolves… SOLO When my baby goes out Everyone buys her a drink And don’t you know last Christmas Some fool even bought her a mink I gotta stay on my toes, people, I say I’d best not even blink I’ve gotta fight off those wolves Fight ’em night and day Gotta fight off those wolves They wanna take my girl away My baby is so fine It’s hard to keep that good lovin’ mine I’ve got wolves…

Don't Go Lookin' for Trouble 04:56
lyrics

Mama used to tell me when I was a little girl You’ll find whatever you look for in this great big world Well I searched and searched for true love and I found you finally And now I see you, Baby, doubting my loyalty. Well… CHORUS: Don’t go lookin’ for trouble if you don’t want it to be found Don’t take our great love and run it into the ground You know my love is strong and you know my heart is true So don’t go lookin’ for trouble… (don’t go lookin’ for trouble) I say don’t go lookin’ for trouble… (don’t go lookin’ for trouble) Don’t go lookin’ for trouble or trouble just might... Come lookin’ for you Mama always told me, be careful what you wish for Before you know it honey it’ll be knockin’ at your door Well it seems that what you’re after now is some kind of fight If you keep on pushing me, Baby, you’re gonna get one tonight. So… CHORUS SOLO Mama used to tell me, and I think she had it right You can stay down in the shadows or find your way to the light Well, let me warm your heart now, come in out of the cold I know you know deep down that our love is pure gold. So please! CHORUS

Walmart Killed Main Street 03:26
lyrics

Strolling down Main Street; ain’t what it used to be Where’s the barber shop where my daddy used to take me? Where’s the hardware store? It’s long since closed down Well, Walmart killed Main Street, took the whole downtown Oh, Walmart killed Main Street, all the stores have shut down Yes, Walmart killed Main Street, took the whole downtown Where is Wagner’s Bakery? Our favorite mom and pop Well Mr and Mrs Wagner had to close up shop Their cookies and their pastries were simply the best But good ole corporate America laid it all to rest And Walmart killed Main Street, all the stores have shut down Yes, Walmart killed Main Street, took the whole downtown We used to love to stroll, on a warm summer’s night To the Ice Cream Corner, up the street and on the right But now the only ice cream is just too far So pack up the family, and gas up the car ’cuz Walmart killed Main Street, all the stores have shut down Yes, Walmart killed Main Street, took the whole downtown SOLO We know that this song of ours won’t be heard much around town ‘cuz Walmart won’t sell it, and they shut all the record stores down Well, Walmart killed Main Street, all the stores have shut down Yes, Walmart killed Main Street, took the whole downtown Where’s the Coffee shop? It’s gone! Where’s the Butcher shop? It’s gone! And the newsstand? It’s gone! And the pizza place? It’s gone! How ’bout the toy store? It’s gone! Main Street America… It’s all gone! Well, Walmart killed Main Street, all the stores have shut down Yes, Walmart killed Main Street, took the whole downtown

Heard you hit town just the other day Looking real good, or so they say You’re looking for how it used to be Well let me tell you, Honey, you won’t find me! ’Cause I’m… CHORUS: Hidin’ out with the blues Hidin’ out from you Hidin’ out with the blues ‘Cause you’re nothin’, nothin’ but bad news Last time you came into town You turned my whole world upside down You maxed out my credit; you wrecked my new car You slept with my friend and you stole my guitar. So I’m… CHORUS SOLO Time before that you made me so sad Flirted with my brother and ran off with my dad If you think I’m gonna fall for that again Let me tell you, Honey, it ain’t happenin’! ’Cause I’m… CHORUS

I Land On My Feet 02:51
lyrics
buy track
I didn’t know what life had in store One day was on top then I was on the floor Life isn’t always full of sunshine But when all is said and done I make out just fine CHOURS: I may stumble and I may fall But I keep my cool right through it all When the pressure’s on and I feel the heat Oooooh, I land on my feet Run into some losers in my day Thought they could break me, thought I’d slink away Tried to take me down they were sure that they could But I bounced right back, and don’t it feel so good! CHORUS SOLO Life’s not perfect, least, most of the time And heartache can be so damn easy to find But through each long day and every last dark night You gotta keep on keepin’ on till you get it right and… You may stumble and you may fall But just keep your cool right through it all When the pressure’s on and you feel the heat Ooooooh, you gotta land on your feet

Mental Health Day 03:22

Woke up this morning, it’s cold and grey Really don’t want to go to work today Going out there would make me so blue I just wanna stay in bed with you Calling in sick is the only way Come on baby, Let’s take a mental health day Let’s take a mental health day Woke up this morning heard that first bird sing Telling me that it was finally spring How can I even think of working today This is a day we’ve got to get away Calling in sick is the only way Come on everybody, Let’s take a mental health day Let’s take a mental health day SOLO Woke up early, the sun in my eye Looked out the window not a cloud in the sky Wanna hang by the pool, drink in my hand Let’s call up the rest of the band and tell them Calling in sick is the only way You know just what we need Let’s take a mental health day Let’s take a mental health day Woke up this morning, a chill in the air The color of the leaves is beyond compare They’re calling out to me to go for a cruise Come go with me there’s no way we can lose Calling in sick is the only way Come on everybody, Let’s take a mental health day Let’s take a mental health day Let’s take a mental health (let’s take a mental health) Let’s take a mental health (let’s take a mental health) Come on everybody Let’s take a mental health day

Bad Girl 05:21
lyrics
buy track
I leave the cap off the toothpaste Play my music a little too loud Don’t always do as I’m told now, Baby Never was one to follow the crowd Well, I stay out way past midnight And I show up late for work Not so good at following orders Even my mom says I’m kind of a jerk BRIDGE/CHORUS: Well, I’m a bad, bad girl now Baby What they say is pretty much true I’m a very, very bad girl But I’m oh so good… with you I’m a bad, bad girl, Baby I’m a bad, bad girl But I’m oh so good… with you Don’t usually answer letters I might not remember to RSVP But you know if I manage to make it I’ll be the life of that damn party Well, my checkbook is unbalanced And my dishes pile up in the sink I eat a little too much chocolate And sometimes I have too much to drink BRIDGE/CHORUS SOLO I leave the back door wide open In the middle of the wintertime I take lemon with my water And tequila with my lime Don’t always play by the rules now baby But I know that you understand Don’t really care what other people think I dance to the beat of my own band Well, I’m a bad, bad girl now Baby What they say is pretty much true I’m a very, very bad girl And I like to get naughty… with you I’m a bad, bad girl, Baby I’m a bad, bad girl But I’m oh so good… with you
