Well I went to the fair on a mighty fine day Saw your smillin’ face lookin’ my way Hoping and a prayin’ I could get you near Started out pourin’ that blackberry beer Blackberry beer, blackberry beer, Gotta stop drinkin’ that blackberry beer Then we closed down the fair on that mighty drunk night Caressin’ and undressin’ in the queasy moonlight You told me a secret that I didn’t wanna hear Why d’ I start pourin’ that blackberry beer? Blackberry beer, blackberry beer, Gotta stop drinkin’ that blackberry beer Cause you told me that story that I didn’t wanna hear That sticky little secret got stuck in my ear I gotta walk around keepin’ it year after year And you got me paranoid and racked with fear Over that stupid little story that I didn’t want to hear Gotta stop drinkin’ that blackberry beer… Well we stumbled down the lane Till’ we were out in the clear I was feeling like I wanted to smack you dear Tryin’ hard to snarl but I could barely sneer Started crying out tears of blackberry beer Blackberry beer, blackberry beer, Gotta stop drinkin’ that blackberry beer Cause you told me that story that I didn’t wanna hear That sticky little secret got stuck in my ear I gotta walk around keepin’ it year after year Man, you got me paranoid and racked with fear Over that stupid little story that I didn’t want to hear Gotta stop drinkin’ that Blackberry beer… Now I’m awake in your bed on the very next day Hopin’ your smiling face would just away Hopin’ and a prayin’ I can get outta here Gotta stop drinkin’ that blackberry beer Blackberry beer, blackberry beer, gotta stop drinkin’ that black - Blackberry beer, blackberry beer, gotta stop drinkin’ that blackberry- Blackberry beer, blackberry beer, gotta stop drinkin’ that back blackberry beer.

Lost inside the neon On the dance floor at the bar Lies and smoke and mirrors In the dash light of a car Guess we been a roamin’ But we didn’t get too far Let’s just wait until the sunrise Wait until the sunrise I think we’ll see the light Wait until the sunrise Our hearts will shine so bright Don’t you even think of leavin’ In the middle of the night Just wait until the sunrise Been searching in the darkness For a sweeter hand to hold Been sifting through the shadows For a heart that’s made of gold Let’s just stop this roaming Through the ruins of the road And wait until the sunrise Wait until the sunrise I think we’ll see the light Wait until the sunrise Our hearts will shine so bright Don’t you even think of leavin’ In the middle of the night Just wait until the sunrise I’ve been a lot of places Can’t tell you where or why I’ve seen a lot of faces But yours lights up the sky Stay with me tonight And let me stare into your eyes And wait until the sunrise Wait until the sunrise I know we’ll see the light Wait until the sunrise Our hearts will shine so bright Don’t you even think of leavin’ In the middle of the night Just wait until the sunrise

Hasn’t rained forever Feels like it might storm Some folks want to run inside Where it is safe and warm Me, I want to soak it in… And watch the puddles form Rain has finally found its way Into the corners of this town Many people love to stay And watch the come down Me I’m going to breathe it in… And feel my wet heart pound I’m wanna walk into the rain It’s gonna clear my cluttered brain I’m wanna stand there open-wide I’m gonna take the rain inside I wanna walk into the rain It’s gonna wash my worried brain And I will stand there open-wide Where I will take the rain inside I thirst for inspiration A way to grow a thought Despise this desiccation Inertia that it wrought I need a way to free my mind And teach what I’ve been taught I’m gonna walk into the rain It’s gonna clear my cluttered brain I’m gonna stand there open-wide And I will take the rain inside I’m gonna walk into the rain It’s gonna wash my worried brain And I will stand there open-wide And I will take the rain inside Well come on, come on, come on, Come on, come on, come on, come on California Winter Well come on, come on, come on, Come on, come on, come on, come on California Winter It hasn’t rained forever I’m shriveled to the core My dreams are dry and brittle My spirit’s scorched and sore The moment that I hear that rain I’m heading out the door.

I'm Done 03:13
I’m done with this I’m done with me Being some one I don’t want to be I’m done with trying hard to stop Done with dodging till I drop I’m done with this I’m done with you Pretending you know what to do And telling me to do it too I’m done, I’m done, I’m done.. I’m done… My dear I’m outta here - I’m done Yes I said I’m done… Stick a fork in me I’m done. I’m done with this I’m done with sad And I’m also done with feeling bad And you’re the one who makes me mad I’m done, I’m done, I’m done.. I’m done with this I’m done with you Complaining that you’re hurt and blue And then making me feel guilty too I’m done, I’m done, I’m done.. I’m walking out on all those words You think I need to hear And all those hyped-up stories Of our mucked-up yesteryears And you can’t even stop me With your histrionic tears Because I’m done with you my dear I said I’m outta here I’m done I’m done with this Yeah I’m done with us I don’t need you to make a fuss ‘Bout all those broken promises Or feelings we might mend I’m done with this I’m done with us I don’t need you to scream and cuss ‘Bout all the hours wasted Our time is at an end I’m walking out on all those words You think I need to hear And all those mucked-up stories Of our fucked-up yesteryears And you can’t even stop me With your histrionic tears Because I’m done with you my dear I said I’m outta here I’m done I’m good as gone... So don’t call for me, Cuz I won’t come… I’m done with this I’m done with me Being some one I’m not supposed to be I’m done with trying hard to stop Done with dodging you ‘till I drop I’m done with this I’m done with you Pretending you know what to do And asking me to do it too I’m done, I’m done, I’m done.. I’m walking out on all those words You think I need to hear And all those hyped-up stories Of our fucked-up yesteryears And you can’t even stop me With your histrionic tears Because I’m done with you my dear I said I’m outta here I’m done I’m done with this I’m done with us I don’t need you to make a fuss ‘Bout all the broken promises Or those feelings we might mend And I’m done with this Yeah I’m done with us I don’t need you to scream or cuss ‘Bout all the hours wasted ‘Cause our time is at an end…
