Chris Smither piosenki

Take your time 'till tomorrow, Take it every single time, Every single second that you borrow Beats against a heart like mine. What you need to know? Where you wanna go? Don't you wanna do it now? I can wait all day just to hear you say, "come on down...

Well all you ladies, gather 'round, The good sweet candy man's in town, He's the candy man, He's the candy man He's got a stick o' candy that's 9 inch long That he sells as fast as hog chews his corn, He's the candy man, He's the candy man. Chorus yo...

Cold trail blues I could use Any kind of sign That your still on the line Cold trail blues I've been searching 'round the world for you No matter how i call I'm no closer at all (Inst.) It's almost like you never came I swear i almost lost your na...

I need confirmation of my duties, Help me get my poor life back in line. If i tell you what the hell i'm up to, Maybe you can tell what's on my mind. Cuz i don't pick no cotton, I never pick my nose, I couldn't pick a pocket in a pile of dirty clothes,...

Momma raised me on riddles and trances, Fat-back, channel cat, lily-white lies, All wrapped up in a jim-crack fancy. I never met poppa, I never asked why People said poppa wasn't no-account anyway, People said poppa was a rollin' stone. I turned twenty...

They're selling postcards of the hanging, They're painting the passports brown, The beauty parlor is all filled with sailors, The circus is in town. Here comes the blind commissioner, They've got him in a trance, One hand is tied to the tightrope walker, The o...

Diplomacy by Chris Smither It's gettin' edgy, time to find a war There must be somethin' worth fightin' for Peace is so peaceful, it ain't a way to survive When nobody hates you, nobody knows you're alive We got the guns, we got the oilmen too They're l...

Climb into this car, I will take you for a ride, We won't go very far, But I think better here inside, Somethin' I forgot to tell you, Think it over, then decide. I will make this explanation, If you can't see it for yourself, It's very hard to pay at...

He'll find his way, but you know what they say, he's gettin'on Can't stay past noon, he'll check out soon, he won't last long He moves slow, but he don't care, He says "time moves slow, but it gets you there". "There" is what we'll call it when we won't rec...

Lemme tell ya 'bout Linda Lou, She had a big head, She slept with her hat on, She had a big butt too, She kept me whole with a big heart, She went away, I fell apart, I'm all alone, Yeah, I'm on my own. Lemme tell ya 'bout Betty Jean, She had a filth...

I am not a prophet, I wouldn't be one if you paid me, But it doesn't take a lot to see , Just where you're headed lately, Pretty soon you're gonna ask me, How come the life you lead, Doesn't make you very happy, Or satisfy your needs, You talk about yo...

I remember one Columbus Day, When I was young and learned the world was round, There didn't seem to be a lot to say, But I had trouble keepin' both feet on the ground. But now I stick to you, I know just what to do, I hold on. I remember looking at the...

Tell me why years, months are gone I can't see anymore My sun is rising but it just don't shine There ain't no light through my door I flip my switches but I don't turn on I ain't a flicker baby, I got no juice today I have a lighter and my carry on Too...

MC Chris ownz I wanna go to an MC Chris show But he doesn't tour, so in the meantime I'm gonna memorize all of his rhymes I spell word with a three Name's MC Other rappers flow weak Like window unit AC's Latinas on my penis Japanese on they knees I...

Well, I ride on a mailtrain, baby, Can't buy a thrill. Well, I've been up all night, baby, Leanin' on the window sill. Well, if I die On top of the hill And if I don't make it, You know my baby will. Don't the moon look good, mama, Shinin' through the trees?...

Well I've got a good reason for lovin' you, It's an old fashioned sign. It kinda makes me feel like, mmm, You know, when I fell in love the first time. Kind woman, won't you love me tonight, The look in your eyes. Kind woman, don't leave me lonely tonig...

If I were young again, I’d pay attention - To that little-known dimension A taste of endless time It's just like water – it runs right through our fingers But the flavor of it lingers - Like a rich, red wine In those days we were single – we lived them on...

Awww, man, they took my car, rode away in my ride, I know attachment is the root of my suffering cuz it hurts me, It hurts me deep inside. The hole ain't in my pocket, it's in my pride. I told the police it didn't matter, but i lied. Now my mind tells me...

Lookin' for my lola, she's drinkin' rum and coca cola, Smokes big cigars, She drives big cars around. Folks say she's gonna reach the top, But she says that's just her first stop. I know she ain't a good 'un, Whatcha bet she wouln' lose much sleep If i...

If love is the meal for the hunger you feel, Call for the witer. We're all gonna feed on whatever We need sooner or later. I just stay out of my way. I call for the check when i'm ready to pay. The bill's for the faith or the will, Whichever is greater....
