Well I married me a wife, she gave me trouble all my life.
Left me out in that cold rain and snow.
Well I saw her in the shade, counting every dime I made.
Sipping lemonade while I'm broke and hungry too.
When she come down the stairs, holding back her long yellow hair.
And her cheeks were as red as a rose.
Well I've done all that I can do, and after all that we've been through.
And I ain't gonna be treated this way.

Cinders In The Breeze

The sun has just begun to rise, here comes the bus on down the line yeah.
It’s cold as hell my fingers sting, I pay my fare, take my seat yeah.
What is there to talk about? I go into work, I come back out.
Simple things, and a simple life, an ugly dog, and a pretty wife yeah.
I’m older now and I find myself far more complicated.
Got a little more weight, more on my plate, and I’m way more impatient.
The dog she is a-barkin’ at the keys out in the hall.
Won’t see it on no TV show it’s written on the bathroom stall.
Ain’t no use in crying when I die.
Make sure they nail my coffin good and tight.
I’ll wear the sharpest three piece that I own.
But I don’t think I’ll need it where I’m going.
And tell my pretty baby I love her so.
There’s many miles I still have left to go.
Out beyond the night sky is where I’ll be.
My bonfire spitting cinders in the breeze.
My bonfire spitting cinders in the breeze.
My bonfire spitting cinders.
Hey. You can’t put me out today.

If Time Allows

I’m working. I’m working. I labor every day so I can
Save enough. To take you out. Make you smile if time allows
I’m working. I labor. I savor the few hours we have together
Whatever. It’s just the way we live these days
It’s nine to five plus travel time.
Tell ourselves it’s just for now. If time allows.
If time allows.
I’m working. I’m working. No one can take this love from me
Except for you. And if you do. I hope you take this song with you
I’m working. I labor. I can’t afford no houses with grand hallways
But always. I’ll try to make you feel loved in the small ways
And I labor. I cater what I can so you feel safer.
And by now. I hope that we can see what time allows.
If time allows.
If time allows I’m taking you out. We’re going downtown. We’ll get a little rowdy.
How bout it brown eyed queen? We got the city bus don’t need limousines.
My pauper pay. My money ant’ long. But no rich banker could have wrote you this song.
My tong gets tied you got me wired. Wear that pretty dress with the flowers down the side.
Hours of time. I got for romance. We’re going to that spot where I drink and you dance.
I love that. Yeah hear what I said. You got the goods baby you’re a perfect ten.
Keep your head up we’ll stay together. Figure it out. If time allows.
If time allows.
