Miss Bix - Lyrics

GIRL U ADORE

Hey, do you ever think of me?
Do you wonder how I might be
Am I still the girl you adore, or has time washed the magic away

Last time I heard someone speak your name
I got suddenly blue cause it isn’t the same
Am I still the girl you adore, or has time washed the magic away

I can still feel the breeze as it whispers through the trees
And the look in your eyes as we sway
We promised our love to the heavens above
In the glow of that beautiful day

You don’t have to worry, I’m doing okay
But hey, don’t you worry why it went that way
Am I still the girl you adore, or has time washed the magic away

I can still feel the breeze as it whispers through the trees
And the look in your eyes as we sway
We promised our love to the heavens above
In the glow of that beautiful day

You don’t have to worry, I’m doing okay
But hey, don’t you worry why it went that way
Am I still the girl you adore, or has time washed the magic away

MOVIN' ON

Movin on yes I’m moving on again
I feel so tired lord my soul is tired,
moving on yes I’m moving on again I’m bound to roam again my soul is tired..

lost my town and they cast out my people I got no shelter and I’m all alone..
kill my spirit and burn my temple I got no shelter lord I got no home..

ahh..hear the voices calling thru the ages calling
moving on again….moving on again…

howling winds burning desert the cries of my people well they hang on my bones
howling winds, burning desert, the cries of my people well they speak thru my bones

ohh feel the ages falling thru the ages calling
movin on again moving on again

movin on yes I’m moving on again there’s somewhere my people calling calling my name
left to roam In a burning desert-if I— don’t make it home will you remember my name?
Remember my name

COCKTAIL HOUR

Empty bottles on the bed stand
Dirty dishes on the floor
I could wash ‘em all I suppose
But I’ll just dirty them some more
The days are slipping by
Like caramel sauce on ice cream
Seems I’m losing track
is it real or just a dream?
Just one thing stands out
Tonight’s cold whiskey sour
Aint getting outta bed til cocktail hour
Aint getting outta bed til cocktail hour
Aint getting outta bed til cocktail hour
Give me one good reason

Old pizza on the counter
Might heat it up for dinner
better yet I like it cold
Does that make me a sinner?
The days are sliding by like egg whites on buttered toast
Am I really here or have I turned into a ghost
Just one thing stands out
The weatherman predicts a shower
Aint getting outta bed til cocktail hour…

Don’t care if the skies are blue (bright)
It might as well be raining
Don’t care that I look like a fright
There’s no-one here complaining
The days are melting down like syrup in a soggy waffle
Don’t wanna face the day, is that so awful?
And wonder what my life’s about
Just a cold whiskey sour

Aint getting outta bed til cocktail hour
Aint getting outta bed til cocktail hour
Aint getting outta bed til cocktail hour
Give me one good reason

YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT

I may be small, but I got no chains on me
I may be small yo but my spirit is free
Got no chains on me
My spirit is free
You better believe it

I may be tired, but I’m just waking up
I may be tired lord, yeah I’ve had some pain in my cup
I’m just waking up, yeah..
I’m just waking up, yeah
You better believe it

I may be open but I’m not naive
I may be open to you baby but I got some tricks up my sleeve
You better believe it, you better believe it
My spirit is free

Got some magic stuff to do
Still got some magic still left to do

I may be 5 feet tall, but my spirit is not small
I may be 5 feet tall, but my spirit its not small
My spirit is free, my spirit is free
You better believe it

THE NERVE

You’ve got the nerve, And I got the need
Meet me outside by the big oak tree
You got the nerve and I got the rest
It took someone like you to put me to the test

There’s a time to wait ..A time to take action
Kettle’s boiling over..It’s a chemical reaction

You lit a fire by the old oak tree
You lit a fire by the old oak tree
The gates are broken and the horses ran/runnin’ free
You lit a fire inside of me

You got the map and I got the treasure
Come on take me with you baby gonna find it together
We’ll turn the key and open the door
Gonna find us/ourselves a place we’ve never been before

There’s a time to wait ..A time to take action
Kettle’s boiling over..It’s a chemical reaction

You lit a fire by the old oak tree
You lit a fire by the old oak tree
The gates are broken and the horses ran/runnin’ free You lit a fire inside of me

TRAIL OF TEARS

GOING DOWN TO THE RIVER GONNA THROW MYSELF DOWN ON THE SAND
GOING DOWN TO THE RIVER GONNA THROW MYSELF DOWN ON THE SAND
IF THE ROCKS DON’T BREAK ME THERE’S A HARD HEARTED MAN WHO CAN

GOT SOME MISSISSIPPI MOONSHINE GONNA DROWN MY SORROWS AWAY
GOT SOME MISSISSIPPI MOONSHINE GONNA DROWN MY SORROWS AWAY
AND I WON’T STOP TIL I’M DEAD TO THE LIGHT OF DAY

IF YOU SEE ME COMIN BETTER LOCK YOUR DOOR AND HIDE
IF YOU SEE ME COMIN BETTER LOCK YOUR DOOR AND HIDE
JUST WAIT FOR THE REAPER TO TAKE ME TO THE OTHER SIDE

GOTTA WORLD OF SHAME TO KEEP ME FROM THE PLACE CALLED HOME
GOTTA WORLD OF SHAME TO KEEP ME FROM THE PLACE CALLED HOME
CAN’T GET NO REST CAN’T FIND A PLACE TO LAY MY BONES

GOING WAY UP IN THE MOUNTAIN GONNA BURN AWAY THESE YEARS
GOING WAY UP IN THE MOUNTAIN GONNA BURN AWAY THESE YEARS
CAUSE MY PEOPLE DONE LEFT ME, LEFT ME WITH A TRAIL OF TEARS

I AINT GOT NO HISTORY THEY DONE BURNED MY HISTORY DOWN
I AINT GOT NO HISTORY THEY DONE BURNED MY HISTORY DOWN
GOT NO ONE TO CLAIM ME I’M DOWN HERE IN THE LOST AND FOUND

GOING DOWN TO THE RIVER THROW MYSELF UPON THE SAND
GOING DOWN TO THE RIVER THROW MYSELF UPON THE SAND
IF THE ROCKS DON’T BREAK ME THERE’S A HARD HEARTED MAN WHO CAN

DADDY WHY

You been so busy at work you say you haven’t had the chance
You finally took me to the movies for a little romance
We were cuddling and kissing then you start to freak out
When this girl sits down near us, what the hell is this about?
You start telling her you’re sorry, and acting real ashamed
She storms out in a huff, how does she even know your name?
Daddy why..daddy why, daddy why you always got to have a little something extra going on the side

Well you canceled again, said you were working late
So I went out for a movie to treat myself to a date
I sat across from this couple, they were getting real close
Then I saw that it was you and you turned white as a ghost
You started making excuses, started feeding me lines
Don’t know why you keep on cheatin’ cause I catch you every time
Daddy why, daddy why, daddy why you have to have
a little something extra going on the side?

Bridge:
You got a mess on your hands but it's of your own making
you just can't turn it down if it's there for the taking
then you put on your sad eyes, take hold of my hand
try to make me forget that you're a two faced man

Well you’re just like a junkie..You can’t be satisfied
Always lookin for that new fix..Always seeking your next high
Always looking at your phone ..Like your waiting for a call
I’m standing right here baby ..But you don’t see me at all
This right here’s the last straw..You done broke the camel’s back
Your party's over mister —I’m gonna make damn sure of that

Well I met your other girl at the grocery Gotta tell ya, she’s real nice
She and I got to talking BOY NOW DON'T WE SEE THE LIGHT
We cut right through your story- sharp as a knife
WE KNOCKED ON YOUR FRONT DOOR AND THEN WE MET YOUR LOVELY WIFE.

Daddy why..daddy why,
daddy why you always got to have a little something extra going on the side

Don’t know how you sleep at night, Cause this time you gone too far
And these two little wrongs done made a right
Cause this time you gone too far
And these two little wrongs done make it right!!

THE POISON

you came in on the wind last night
i heard it like a song
something wild and restless
that's been here all along
the longing and the craving
like the rustling of the leaves
Turned us into pariahs
on frozen cliffs of dreams

and we'll always meet this way
when the wind wrestles in the snake
the windows will be opened
the pictures come awake

your voice is so distinctive
it cuts like heavy wine

And i'll gladly burn in my own chair
to feel the sting of what was there
hard as steel, soft as blue
jagged heartstrings plucked for you

you came in on the wind last night
angry like a song
the poison had its way with us
in the place where it belonged
it blew in helter skelter
and left the room in tatters
the book we wrote together
the only thing that matters

And we’ll always meet this way
When the serpent meets the blade
The windows will be opened
The pictures come awake

the phone, the keys, the photograph
the poison, just a sip
clutched like drowning treasures
from a sinking wooden ship

i'll gladly burn in my own chair
to feel the sting of what was there
hard as steel, soft as blue
Jagged heartstrings plucked for you

SALLIE MAE

I heard you say you were taking to your bed
Lying awake with the covers pulled over your head
Cryin in your pillow til you fall asleep
Honey I never seen you sink so deep
I know you better, you're gonna weather this storm

Cheer up Sallie Mae, things are gonna be okay
Well these hard times will turn into good times someday
Cheer up Sallie Mae, believe me when I say
I know you're tough, you got the stuff And you never give up

You're the one who's cheering in the front row
Now the world's gone crazy and you got no place to go
When somebody needs you, you know just what to do
I never met anyone quite as sweet as you
You're gonna make it, No one can take it away

AIN'T NO SUCH THING

I need more than a lifetime baby
To have my fill of you
You turn me on every day
I can’t imagine my life without you

You bring more in one package
Than a woman could ever desire
You bring me the friendship baby
And you bring me the fire

There aint no such thing as too much of your good thing
There aint no such thing as too much of your good thing

I used to get my kicks acting
A little bit daring and crazy
Ran away when the going got rough
In love you could say I was lazy

But I don’t crave that kind of action
it doesn’t make me strong
And I’m glad, so glad, that you found me
Cuz I’m right here where I belong

There aint no such thing as too much of your good thing
There aint no such thing as too much of your good thing
Well alright

I’ve had my share of ups and downs
I’ve spent years trying to figure it out
Wondering if someone would finally come
And show me what love is about
It gets complicated but the key is to keep on trying
If it’s real you’re gonna work it out
If it’s real it gets better with time

There aint no such thing as too much of a good thing
There aint no such thing as too much of your good thing
There aint no such thing as too much of your good thing
There aint no such thing as too much of your good thing
