MAYBE
IT'S ME Try
to define what you do to my mind
maybe it's me, or maybe it's me
feelin's so strange, but I don't understand
maybe it's me, or maybe it's me
I'll
take you all of the way
And I won't blame you for my mistakes
Try
to be true, but you just end up blue
maybe it's me, or maybe it's me
try to explain why you're feelin' that pain
maybe it's me, or maybe it's me
I'll
take you all of the way
And I won't blame you for my mistakes
In
a world full of noise, you keep hearing that voice
"maybe it's me, or maybe it's me"
what more can I say? You're gonna find out someday
maybe it's me, or maybe it's me
maybe it's me, or maybe it's me

SO
FAR AWAY
I
know a place where we can go
No city lights, moon aglow
But we've got to go so far away
we've got to go so far away
I
know a field where we can yield
Under the stars, we'll be for real
But we've got to go so far away
we've got to go so far away

PLAYIN'
GAMES WITH MY SOUL
My
soul playin' games with my soul
My soul playin' games with my soul
Sign the paper feed the man
Either way, you're in the can
Now you're lost in the dark,
A fool in the rain
Oh lord, can't stand the pain in my soul
playin' games with my soul
My soul playin' games with my soul
Pay the lady take a scent
Next thing you know, you spent the rent
Now you're lost in the dark,
A fool in the rain Oh lord, can't stand the pain
in my soul playin' games with my soul
My soul playin' games with my soul
My soul, My soul
Non-musicians make decisions -
Steal your thunder, blind your vision!
Now you're lost in the dark,
A fool in the rain Oh lord, can't stand the pain
in my soul playin' games with my soul
My soul playin' games with my soul
My soul, My soul

MY
LITTLE LADY
Easy,
take it slow
There's just a little more to go
Little lady
my little lady
Baby take your time
Babe take a little more of mine
Little lady
my little lady
I
can take you down that road,
Anywhere you want to go
But I can't take you all the way
you know there's a price to pay
but
if we make it through,
I'll just keep on loving you
Little lady
my little lady
It won't take too long,
Babe, but I just gotta sing my song
Little ladymy little lady
I
can take you down that road,
Anywhere you want to go
Walk outside and look at the moon
And tell yourself I'll be comin' soon
Little
lady
my little lady
Little lady
my little lady
Oh ladymy little lady
Oh lady, mine

BABY'S
GONE AWAY
gone
away, my baby's gone away
gone away, my baby's gone away
gone away, my baby's gone away
I
once had a ship that sailed into the sea
'Til I'd return, my love would wait for me
I woke from a dream, she flew into the sky
When I returned, I found my love had died
gone
away, my baby's gone away
gone away, my baby's gone away
gone away, my baby's gone away
if
you ever hear a sigh,
turn out the light raise the shade,
and look into the night see her fly
above the frozen bay
gone away, my baby's gone away
gone away, my baby's gone away
gone away, my baby's gone away

BLUE
TOWN
Blue
town tonight the joint should be jumpin',
but that's alright runnin' behind
took a left turn, and lost my mind
so let's unload the van set up the stage,
I'm the man turn down the lights,
'cause it's gonna be one of those nights
mysteries
of old are singin' a song
inside my soul won't you come along
and give me the soul inside my song
won't you come along...
singin' a song singin' the song
inside my soul
singin' a song singin' the song
inside my soul
blue
town tonight if I can just play,
I'll be alright
too many years
too many nights,
too many tears
so let's unload the van set up the stage,
I'm the man turn down the lights,
'cause it's gonna be one of those nights
mysteries
of old are singin' a song inside my soul
won't you come along and give me the soul
inside my song won't you come along...
singin' a song
singin' the song inside my soul
singin' a song singin' the song
inside my soul

WHY
CAN'T WE TRY
feelin'
the heat off of the road
it's tellin' me something I don't wanna know
bet you can see, baby it's you
makin' me feel I got nothing to lose
so why can't we try
why can't we try
why can't we try
feelin'
the heat off of the road
it's tellin' me something
I don't wanna know if you could be me,
and I could be you would we understand
what we have to do
why can't we try
why can't we try
why can't we try
feelin'
the heat off of the road
it's tellin' me something I don't wanna know
bet you can see, baby it's you
makin' me feel I got nothing to prove
so why can't we try why can't we try

THE
QUIET ONE
Greg
Humphreys - guitar
HE
DID MENTION YOU
Saw
your old flame - he told me his name
He acted ashamed, and he did mention you
Said he's in town, "lookin' around"
Didn't say what he found, but he did mention you
he
did mention you,
he did mention you
now tell me what I'm s'posed to do
Saw
your old flame - he told me his name
He acted ashamed, and he did mention you
I'll give you one chance, to make this make sense
Plead coincidence, 'cause he did mention you
he
did mention you,
he did mention you
now tell me what I'm s'posed to do
I said tell me what I'm s'posed to do

SOUL
FOOD
walk
on down
to big momma's kitchen
gonna see what's cookin' today
people are talkin'
all over this town
they can't seem to stay away
I can smell that cabbage boilin,'
I can see the barbeque smoke
from a block away
Because they're fixin' soul food
Soul food, soul food
Soul food, soul food
Don't you know
they're in the kitchen fixin'
soul food
Oh, hear that jukebox music
from the golden juice café
They got that slowdown
lowdown, nice and lowdown,
hear that good man say
"I gotta crazy little thing that
I'm sure you will enjoy"
Because they're fixin' soul food
Soul food, soul food
Soul food, soul food
Don't you know
they're in the kitchen fixin'
soul food
They're fixin'... Fish 'n' grits,
mac 'n' cheese
Homemade biscuits,
black eyed peas
Pork chops, butter beans
Mashed potatoes,
collard greens
Chitlins, dumplins
Cornbread, muffins
Neckbone, Beans 'n' rice
Wash it all down with
a glass of sweet tea on ice -
Yeah, yeah!
they're in the kitchen, fixin' ...
fixin' that soul, fixin' that soul,
fixin' that soul food
