1.Too Good to be True
I tried to be your kind of man, I was putty in your hands
But it was more than I could stand
Oh Rena, it was more than I could stand.
I'm not one for playing games, but I played them just the same
If it meant I played with you
Oh Rena, there's not much I wouldn't do
I've know others like you, they've all been too good to be true
Oh, Rena you were too good to be true
I fell under like a fool, when you cast your wicked spell
What else could I do
Oh, Rena love's a dog from hell
I've known others like you, they've all been too good to be true
Oh Rena, you were too good to be true
So I'll see you down the road, or maybe not at all
You're just too hard on the soul
Oh Rena, I heard the highway call.
2.Early Warning
Looked out this morning the sky was blood red
I remember what the gypsy lady said
Dark days and hard times coming
Did you hear that early warning?
Walking round in the smoke and cinders
Don't it kinda make you wonder?
I remember what the gypsy lady said
Dark days and hard times coming
Did you hear that early warning?
Did you hear that early warning?
3.Yellow Belly
I pick up telephone, put it down and walk away
There was something I was meaning to tell you
Guess it can wait for another day
I try to follow my hearts desire
But I chicken out when it comes down to the wire
Yellow belly scared to death
If you're waiting for me babe, don't hold your breath.
I'd find the nerve to make that call
Tell you how I really feel
I'd get down on my knees and crawl
If I had any guts at all.
I'm the kind to speak my mind
But lately my tongue's been tied
I get up to your garden gate
Then I hesitate
I try to follow my hearts desire
But I chicken out when it comes down to the wire
Yellow belly scared to death
If you're waiting for me babe, don't hold your breath
I'd find the nerve to make that call
Tell you how I really feel
Get down on my knees and crawl
If I had any guts at all.
4.Cold as they come
It was rough from the start
With a mother so sad
A house full of ghosts
And a deadbeat dad
It's a crying shame
What it does to someone
You can't feel a thing
When you're cold as they come.
Sad bacon and eggs, in a seedy cafe
She's pouring the coffee, while time slips away
With a heart that was froze
Such a long time ago
She got the kids
He got her soul
Now she's cold as they come
She's hard to the core
She's had to fight in her own little war
Yea she's cold, cold as they come
Sad bacon and eggs, in a seedy cafe
She's pouring the coffe, time slips away
I looked her in the eye
As I ordered some pie
She almost cracked a smile
But she was cold, cold as they come.
5.Shake Your Faith
I've been a witness to the miracle
I've been a witness to the crime
I'm not here to shake your faith
I'm just here to testify
You might believe in Adam and Eve
Or that we crawled out of the slime
I'm not here to shake your faith
I'm just here to testify
What's been done in the name of God
Is hard to justify
I'm not here to shake your faith
I'm just here to testify.
6. In the middle of the night
Well I get along just fine
Do just as I please
No one to answer to
It's what they call being free
chorus
You're what I been missing, you're what i've been missing
In the middle of the night
I've been known to be a little cynical
But I've got this good feeling about you
And I hope this good feeing
Got you feeling good too
repeat chorus
7.Quirky
She warms up the winter night
With one little smile
Lips like raspberries
She's got her own quirky style
There was something familiar
I knew right from the start
Maybe in another lifetime
We might have ignited a spark
What set of strange circumstances
Has led us down this road?
If we were travelling companions
It would lighten the load
She warms up the winter night
With one little smile
Lips like raspberries
She's got her own quirky style.
