I reach out for something I don't have at home
Now I've got that something though I know it's wrong
My good girl won't love me way I think she should
My good girl treats me better my bad girl treats me good
My good girl's an angel except when I'm at home
My bad girl's a devil except when we're alone
I guess I messed up my life but I've done the best I could
My good girl treats me better my bad girl treats me good
[ instrumental ]
Her sunshine smile awarm me but that sun went down
Neon lights then called me and I went to town
My bad girl said fair to me and I burned the blacken wood
My good girl treats me better my bad girl treats me good
My good girl's an angel except when I'm at home...
My good girl treats me better my bad girl treats me good

Storms never last do they baby
Bad times all pass with the wind
Your hand in mine stills the thunder
And you'd make the sun want to shine
I followed you down so many roads baby
I've picked wild flowers and sung you soft sad songs
And every road you took I know your search was for the truth
And the clouds brewing now won't be the last
Cause storms never last do they baby...
[ instrumental ]
Storms never last do they baby...
Yes you'd make the sun want to shine

I caught her crying as she washed my clothes
That lipstick on my shirt told all she had to know
Put my arms around her she turned her face to me
She threw her arms around me and let that shirt drop in my feet
She said you know I love you and don't matter where you've been
And I start counting blessings once again
She's found the signs so many times and I just can't believe
That through it all she still loves me
She tried to smile at me and wipe her tears away
And searched through all the words I knew for anything to say
But she'd heard it all before and when I tried to speak
She put her fingers on my lips and then she said to me
She said you know I love you and don't matter where you've been...
She said you know I love you and don't matter where you've been...
That through it all she still loves me

I stopped at your picnic ground
To get myself a bite to eat one Sunday morning
Your fried chicken tasted good
The way that I remembered on some lonely nights dreaming
You fed my loneliness with kind words
You even understood the folly of my dream
But the morning light would always find me leaving you
But you never tried to clip my wings
I wrote down the things
That I remembered from the times when I was movin' easy
Summer nights were filled with honey
Suckle smells of life that I was missing blooming
I marked a wide place on the highway
Knowin' that in time my mind would pass this way again
And I knew the time would come when I'd be leaving you
But you never tried to clip my wings
I searched for rainbows and elusive pots of gold
But the rainbows always ended at your door
And I never found the reason for my leaving in the morning
Or to know that I'd be needin' you some more
And I never an answer to the song that I might sing
But you never tried to clip my wings
No you never tried to clip my wings
No you never tried to clip my wings

I hope that the friend you've thrown yourself with
Gets drunk and loses his job
And that the road you're walking on gets cold and rocky and hard
I couldn't make you love me you only made me blue
So all in all if the curtain should fall I hope that it falls on you
I will have sweet sweet sweet mental revenge
I will have sweet sweet sweet mental revenge
[ instrumental ]
Well I hope that the train from Caribou Maine runs over your new love affair
You walk the floor from door to door and pull out your peroxide hair
You never was my woman cause you were never true
So all in all if the curtain should fall I hope that it falls on you
I will have sweet sweet sweet mental revenge...

I've tried so hard to get you off my mind
But it seems you've left too much of you behind
Mem'ries of the past get in my way
I keep lookin' for tomorrow and finding yesterday
You're in every cup of coffee and in every glass of wine
And each song on the jukebox sounds like yours and mine
Funny when I look at someone new I see your face
I keep lookin' for tomorrow and finding yesterday
[ instrumental ]
I told myself the day you said goodbye
Go find somebody new to drive her from your mind
But easy said's not easy done like some folks say
While I'm lookin' for tomorrow I keep finding yesterday
You're in every cup of coffee and in every glass of wine...
I keep lookin' for tomorrow and finding yesterday

Well bad times settle like fallin' rain
And gloom settle on the land
Daddy said the bread line wad'nt gonna get him
And a formed a bread line band
Like a star in sight on a cloudy night
It was a wonder to behold
Daddy took the threads that the Lord left over
And spun 'em to a pot of gold
There was a tambourine made of bottle caps
And a pickle barrel hoop
And a ladle beatin' hard on an upside kettle
When the kettle wad'nt full of soup
A washboard somebody found at the dump
And two hot spoons and a pan
God laid a song on a troubled world
When daddy formed the bread line band
On Saturday night in patched up clothes
We'd dress up spick and span
And all walk down to the hot soup line
To marvel at the bread line man
Where broken tooth combs played home sweet home
And daddy sang harmony
Not a penny to his name but he never complained
And the song in his heart was free
There was a tambourine made of bottle caps...
There was a tambourine made of bottle caps...

Well hack-saw Mack he's long and lean
The devil in his soul and his eyes are green
Get your woman if he can
They love the Tennessee banjo man
Play that banjo and make it ring
And listen to ole hack-saw pickin' on the strings
Girls gather round and they clap their hands
They love the Tennessee banjo man
[ instrumental ]
Well he picks all night and he sleeps all day
Wild as a buck he was made that way
There's a musical magic in his hand
They love the Tennessee banjo man
Play that banjo and make it ring...
[ instrumental ]
When the moon comes up and the sun goes down
That's when hack-saw comes to town
He's a devil I know and he wears no brand
The girls love the Tennessee banjo man
Play that banjo and make it ring...

Oh rainy day woman
I never seem to see you for the good times or the sunshine
You have been a friend of mine rainy day woman
That woman of mine she ain't happy
Till she finds something wrong and someone to blame
If it ain't one thing it's another one on the way
Oh rainy day woman...
[ instrumental ]
Woke up this morning to the sunshine
Sure as hell looks just like rain
I know where to go on a cloudy day
Oh rainy day woman...
[ instrumental ]
Oh rainy day woman...
Oh rainy day woman...

Greet the day with a smile you painted on
Hide away the mirror says you don't belong
Show the world a girl that sadness doesn't own
Cause a frown doesn't fit a pretty lady
So he's gone you can make a brand new start
Find a role all you do is play the part
I guess you knew he'd only break your heart
And leave a frown on the face of a pretty lady
Pretty lady now you're on your own
Pretty lady you find you're all alone
One day maybe life will find you gone
Out searching for a rainbow's end
But I've been there and back again
So today don't you let your sorrows out
Anyway you've got friends to see no doubt
Show the world that you've got things to smile about
Because a frown doesn't fit a pretty lady
Pretty lady now you're on your own...
So today don't you let your sorrows out...
You know a frown doesn't fit a pretty lady
