1.Runnin' Behind
Work, work, work day after day
Fifty hour week, forty hour pay
Not time to get over on this overtime
Yea i'm always runnin', i'm always runnin' behind
I got a friday night date with my sweetheart
I'm already late and the car won't start
Lord, i feel like hittin that car and cryin'
Yes i'm always runnin', i'm always runnin' behind
All my life it's been this way
One dollar short and one day late
One rung lower on the ladder i'm tryin to climb
If i ever get lucky, if i ever get rich
Gonna tow my life up out of this ditch
Watch the world go by while i unwind
Yeah i'm always running, but i'm alwayas runnin' behind
Instrumental
Repeat bridge
2.Sticks And Stones
You can take the house and everything in it
Keep the diamond ring cause thats how i meant it
Sticks and stones are all they ever were to me
This material life with all it's value
Don't mean a thing to me with you
The love that we once had is all i need
So take everything we have if it makes you happy
But darlin let me say before i leave
(chorus)
These sticks and stones ain't all that makes a home
They don't have arms to hold you when love goes wrong
Now you say, we are through
But the words you said just tore my heart in two
Remember when we didn't have a dime between us
You took my hand and said we don't needmuch
Just as long as we're together we would be fine
Now we've acquired all i thought would please you
I gave everything you know that i could
And still you're telling me you're not satisfied
So take everything we have if it makes you happy
But darlin let me say before i leave
(repeat chorus)
3.Somebody Paints The Wall
If my old truck was a horse
I'd have to shoot it
Lord the day my ship came in
I was waiting for a train
Everytime i get a grip, i always lose it
I can't find the sunshine for the rain
And you know i'm always saying i'm sorry
But you stand by me through it all
Seems everytime i make my mark
Somebody paints the wall
Everytime i think i'm off and runnin
I'm barely up to a crawl
Everytime i get a leg up on the ladder of success
I slip and fall
Like last week down at the factory
I was up for a promotion
But the boss says little brother got the call
Seems everytime i make my mark
Somebody paints the wall
Everytime i think i'm off and runnin
I'm barely up to a crawl
Everytime i get a leg up
On the ladder of success, i slip and fall
Like last week down at the factory
I was up for a promotion
But the boss says little brother got the call
Seems like everytime i make my mark
Somebody paints the wall
Seems everytime i make my mark
Somebody always paints the wall
4.Dancin' To Sweet 17
i want you to submit the lyrics of herman's hermits lyrics：
Herman's hermits
No milk today
(graham gouldman)
No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
No milk today, it seems a common sight
But people passing by don't know the reason why
How could they know just what this message means
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know the palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen
No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Becomes a shrine when i think of you only
Just two up two down
No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day
As music played the faster did we dance
We felt it both at once, the start of our romance
How could they know just what this message means
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know a palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen
No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Becomes a shrine when i think of you only
Just two up two down
No milk today, my love has gone away
The bottle stands forlorn, a symbol of the dawn
No milk today, it seems a common sight
But people passing by don't know the reason why
How could they know just what this message means
The end of my hopes, the end of all my dreams
How could they know a palace there had been
Behind the door where my love reigned as queen
No milk today, it wasn't always so
The company was gay, we'd turn night into day
But all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Oh all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
Oh all that's left is a place dark and lonely
A terraced house in a mean street back of town
5.Today's Lonely Fool
What would you say if i told you i was sorry
And that i've come to realize
Life means nothing without you
Would you take my hand
Would you forgive this man
For ever doubting your love is true
And could you find it in your heart
To let me try and make it up to you
Yesterday a jealous man
Today a lonely fool
I let love slip right through my hands
With all the hurt i've handed you
I've gotta stop your love from dying
Or i'll be living proof
That yesterday's jealous man
Is today's lonely fool
Darlin' from now on
I'll be proud when other men notice you
Instead of gettin' mean and loud
Like i used to do
Find some mercy in your heart
And we'll make another start
At the love that we once knew
I won't hurt you anymore
I'm gonna trust you now and never question you
Yesterday a jealous man
Today a lonely fool
I let love slip right through my hands
With all the hurt i've handed you
I've gotta stop your love from dying
Or i'll be living proof
That yesterday's jealous man
Is today's lonely fool
I'm today's lonely fool
6.Paris Tennessee
I may not have a whole lot of money
But i got enuff to cover you and me
I'm taking off wont you come with me honey
Gonna take you all the way to paris, tennessee
I want to show you the riviera
Got new tires and a good cb

Baby, i adore you

And he can pick the wildwood flower
Better than anybody down in paris, tennessee
We're goin all the way to paris, tennesee

7.Froze Over
She just closed the door
And tonite the heartaches begin
I've lost the key to heaven
And my angel just wont let me in
Well i begged and pleaded down on my knees
To a heart that has turned as cold as ice
She once swore she loved me
Till hell froze over
Well hell just froze over tonite
She said i love you darlin till death do us part
And i said i do too darlin with all of my heart
Hand and hand together, forever, we'd walk side by side
But i took her for granted
Took too many chances, until her love for me died
She just closed the door
And tonite the heartaches begin
I've lost the key to heaven
And my angel just won't let me in
Well i begged and pleaded down on my knees
To a heart that has turned cold as ice
She once swore she loved me till hell froze over
Well hell just froze over tonite
She once swore she loved me till hell froze over
Well hell just froze over tonite
8.Between Us
Sometimes our loves an open door
And we know its safe inside
But we have slammed it shut before
And locked our hearts outside
But we get a handle on it
When we let go of our pride
Chorus
Sometimes we put words and walls between us
Lose our heads and gamble with our hearts
There've been trials and tears,doubts and fears
Between us
But when all things pass
It's love that'll last between us
Love has taught us to forgive
And time helps us forget
Still as long as we both live
We'll say some things we regret
But love keeps a workin on us
Aw cause we ain't perfect yet
Repeat chorus
There've been trials and tears
Doubts and fears between us
But when all things pass
It's love that'll last between us
9.April's Fool
Theres no way i could ever leave her
I'm addicted to her love can't break the tie
A victim of my own need and to far to ever be free
Everything she does i somehow justify
Chorus
I'm aprils fool
I play by her rules
She treats me any old way she wants to
Just as sure as clouds bring showers
And springtime brings may flowers
And a mountain breeze blows cool
I'm aprils fool
Many times i've tried to live without her
Like a frightened runaway child, i always return
To the games she loves to play
Where she always gets her way
Although it hurts i never seem to learn
Repeat chorus
Just as sure as clouds bring showers
And springtime brings may flowers
And a mountain breeze blows cool
I'm aprils fool
Aprils fool
10.I Hope Heaven Has A Honky Tonk
I was raised in a christian home
On bible readin gospel songs
Church doors opened up you'd see my face
Sundays twice, weds too, i'd take my seat on the front row pew,
Singing rock of ages and amazing grace
Preacher said heavens the place to go
With pearly gates and streets of gold
I guess for the preacher thats alright
But i hope heavens another story
With a good ole boy bound for glory
A little bit like of texas on a saturday nite
Chorus
And i hope heaven has a honky tonk
With a 5 pc band,
Cowboy boots,and bluejeans are part of the master plan
And i hope hanks on the juke box, bob wills has a fiddle in his
hand
And i hope heaven has a honky tonk with a 5 piece band
I hope those hardwood floors are just like glass
The girls i ask wanna dance
And each and every waitress is divine
I hope that mean old bouncers got a big halo
Those neon lights will always glow
They ain't never heard of closing time
Repeat chorus｜｜repeat chorus
I hope heaven has a honky tonk with a 5 pc band
