Verse:
Long day, hard, hard work For low pay, I got no perks It might be time for a change of scene Yeah I just might have to blow a little steam
Pack up my truck, with all my tools and head on out, to break some rules Just down the street, and pass this store a neon light flashing through the door it reads
Good eats, cold cold beer, No double talk is spoken hear It's just a place to find yourself It just might help you with your mental health
Chorus:
Everybody needs a place they can go Everybody needs a little home away from home Where you can play a little pool, shoot a few darts Chase a good women and break her heart
Verse:
Behind the bar, girl name kate Don't piss her off or she'll make you wait on the wall are all the names and photographs in the hall of shame
They play some country and rock and roll They play it all night until you go You do the two step out on the floor Tommorrow night you'll be back for more
Good eats, cold cold beer, No double talk is spoken hear It's just a place to find yourself It just might help you with your mental health
Chorus:
Everybody needs a place they can go Everybody needs a little home away from home Where you can play a little pool, shoot a few darts Chase a good women and break her heart | posted: 05/16/2009 11:08:35 PM - email it - view/add comments(0)

Intro
Hey - Ho Ho - Hey Duck and Jab
Verse 1
I can see a dark an ominous cloud, up ahead on the horizon it's going to get tough are you ready son? bad times they are a rising
Do you really think that you have, what its going to take? you've never seen whats coming down just be prepared for heavens sake
Chorus:
You got to roll with the punches boy you gotta learn to duck and jab just like your father did and before him his old man
Hey - Ho Ho - Hey Duck and Jab
Hey - Ho Ho - Hey Duck and Jab
Verse 2
Don't be the last one to arrive, to board the outbound train and get your ticket while you still can soon they'll be a treacherous rain
and keep low and level son, and don't you ever look back determination just might get you by choices are slim and fading fast
Chorus:
You got to roll with the punches boy you gotta learn to duck and jab just like your father did and before him his old man
Hey - Ho Ho - Hey Duck and Jab
Hey - Ho Ho - Hey Duck and Jab
Verse 3
Go now boy and plant your seeds, for the harvest to come they'll be ready when spring comes around be assured of your place in the sun
when the bugle boy sounds his note, you'll be called to arms know in your heart of hearts your a fight'n man you can't rely on your boyish charms
Chorus:
You got to roll with the punches boy you gotta learn to duck and jab just like your father did and before him his old man
Hey - Ho Ho - Hey Duck and Jab
Hey - Ho Ho - Hey Duck and Jab

Verse 1
I can remember a day when Detroit was king hard work paid off when you chased your dreams building futures with tools in your hands and delivering the goods to a promise land
Sun beams bounced off the bumper chrome wheels burned rubber on familiar roads cruising the streets on a saturday night back seat romance that just felt so right
Chorus
but now were looking thru the rearview mirror as things fall apart the picture gets a little clearer I never thought I live to see the day... this ain't my old man's Chevrolet
What ever happened too a little hope and faith and when our parents told us it would be ok
Verse 2
How can situations get so turned around that a better way of doing things can't be found in a country that we always reach down deep and promised ourselves we'd never admit defeat
It might be time we all get fighting mad and chase the dreams that our fathers had we can't sit back and let the hard times role and carry ourselves like cold and timid souls
Chorus
and now were looking thru the rearview mirror as things fall apart the picture gets a little clearer I never thought I live to see the day.... this ain't my old man's Chevrolet
What ever happened too a little hope and faith and when our parents told us it would be ok

| | "FLIM FLAM MAN" Copyright 2009 Rob Young
Verse 1
Albert Sulley was a flim flam man, poker face and a slight of hand he grew up in timbuck two, somewhere in southern Ala-bam
His uncle taught him everything he knew, that they'd never teach a boy in school yeah best you ya'll just keep away, cuz he'll surely play you for a fool
and if he had no change in his pocket he'd have this prayer in his heart if got a pidgeon on the line he'd have a good place to start
Chorus:
Gather round, Gather round, it's the greatest little show in town Gather round, Gather round, he'll pick your pockets clean and he's highway bound
Verse 2
He left home when he was seventeen, found a job down in New Orleans washing dishes on a gambling boat and living off of rice and beans
To Albert it made perfect sense even though it was a criminal offense and in his mind, doing time would be just a minor expense
he quickly learned the fine art of the con from a old man named "Samual Reed" and lined his pockets with sparkiling gold with a shamefull game of deceit
Chorus:
Gather round, Gather round, it's the greatest little show in town Gather round, Gather round, he'll pick your pockets clean and he's highway bound
Verse 3
Albert Sulley lived his life on the run, just 3 steps head of a law man's gun and if you could catch him and ask him why, he'd say "I just do it for the fun"
Then one night in this smoked filled room, Albert came to meet his finale doom A gambling man from San Anton busted his head with the end of a broom
and he died with no change in his pocket and a empty prayer in his heart seems the pidgeon on the line was just a little too smart
Chorus:
Gather round, Gather round, it's the greatest little show in town Gather round, Gather round, he'll pick your pockets clean and he's highway bound

| | "A Heart as Big as Baltimore" Copyright 2008 Rob Young
Verse 1
She's the one thats tough as nails her reputation gets around She can always hold her own when the boys are all in town
And people always think she's got a heart thats cold as hell but once you peel the layers away you'll find out something more
Chorus
A heart as big as Baltimore a smile that keeps you warm all over beneath the surface simmering a passion thats just ready to explode and once you've felt it you just can't ingnore a heart as big as Baltimore
Verse 2
She has her reasons for putting up a wall to keep you out there was this guy that she knew thought she couldn't live without
It was more than she had bargained for he left her battered on the floor she just packed up all her things cause she couldn't take it no more
Chorus
but she had a heart as big as Baltimore a smile that keeps you warm all over beneath the surface simmering a passion thats just ready to explode and once you've felt it you just can't ingnore a heart as big as Baltimore
Verse 3
She's learning as she goes along he can't steal her life away and now she opens up again and tells me its ok
I just lay here beside her and I listen to her every word and now she understands from me that her heart is finally being heard
Chorus
A heart as big as Baltimore a smile that keeps you warm all over beneath the surface simmering a passion thats just ready to explode and once you've felt it you just can't ignore a heart as big as Baltimore
