Never Been To Spain

Well I never been to Spain
But I kinda like the music
Say the ladies are insane there
And they sure know how to use it
They don't abuse it
Never gonna lose it
I can't refuse it
Well I never been to England
But I kinda like the Beatles
Well, I headed for Las Vegas
Only made it out to Needles
Can you feel it
It must be real it
Feels so good
Oh, feels so good
Well I never been to heaven
But I been to Oklahoma
Well they tell me I was born there
But I really don't remember
In Oklahoma, not Arizona
What does it matter
What does it matter
Well I never been to Spain
But I kinda like the music
Say the ladies are insane there…

I've Always Been Crazy

I've always been crazy and the trouble that it's put me through
I've been busted for things that I did, and I didn't do
I can't say I'm proud of all of the things that I've done
But I can say I've never intentionally hurt anyone
I've always been different with one foot over the line
Winding up somewhere one step ahead or behind
It ain't been so easy but I guess I shouldn't complain
I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane
Beautiful lady, are you sure that you understand
The chances your taking loving a free living man
Are you really sure, you really want what you see
Be careful of something that's just what you want it to be
I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane
Nobody knows if it's something to bless or to blame
So far I ain't found a rhyme or a reason to change
I've always been crazy but it's kept me from going insane

Oh rainy day woman
I never seem to see you for the good times or the sunshine
You have been a friend of mine, rainy day woman
That woman of mine, she ain't happy
'Til she finds something wrong and someone to blame
If it ain't one thing it's another one on the way
Woke up this mornin' to the sunshine
It sure as hell looks just like rain
I know where to go on a cloudy day
Oh rainy day woman
I never seem to see you for the good times or the sunshine
You have been a friend of mine, rainy day woman
Oh rainy day woman
I never seem to see you for the good times or the sunshine
You have been a friend of mine, rainy day woman

Walkin'
02:51
|

|
After carefully considerin' the whole situation I stand with my back to the wall
Walkin' is better than runnin' away and crawlin' ain't no good at all
And if guilty's the question truth is the answer I've been lyin' to me all alone
There ain't nothin' worth savin' except one another
And before you'll wake up I'll be gone
