Helpless I still balance my checkbook with a pen and a pad Don't use no calculator, still subtract and add How come I don't feel helpless How come I'm doin' okay When everywhere I look I see More technology than ever got me here today I don't ever use a fax machine The mailbox works so far I still wait to make phone calls Till I get out of my car How come I don't feel helpless How come I'm doin' okay When everywhere I look I see More technology than ever got me here today I still read newspapers, I'm not online Don't even own a computer, and I'm doin' fine How come I don't feel helpless How come I'm doin' okay When everywhere I look I see More technology than ever got me here today When everywhere I look I see More technology than ever got me here today Let Me Know If you don't want me no more And its over and your sure Well let me know Let me know Let me know so I can go If there's nothin' left to say And tomorrow's going to be another lonely day Well let me know Let me know Let me know so I can go Don't keep me holdin' on so long Don't keep me holdin' on so long, so long I guess this is the end If you only want to be my friend Well let me know Let me know Let me know so I can go Let me know Let me know Let me know Brand New Year Brand new year, same ol' trouble Stroke of midnight didn't change a thing She'll still be the pin that goes and bursts my bubble And writes these sad songs I sing You know I hate New Year's Eve If it don't rain then it goes and sleets And on the years that it don't Those are the years my hearts completely broke I awake with the same old thirst January the first with the Same old wish that I was dead And a brand new pounding in my head Brand new year, same ol' trouble Stroke of midnight didn't change a thing She'll still be the pin that goes and bursts my bubble Writes these sad songs I sing Tonight I wish I'd just stayed home Could've stayed there and drank alone Could've went on a cryin jag Listen to Sinatra maybe even the Hag Put on Luke the Drifter, I'm dead 'Cause that guys living inside my head He can steal every thought I think And he's got plenty of ice there for his drinks Brand new year, same ol' trouble Stroke of midnight didn't change a thing She'll still be the pin that goes and bursts my bubble And writes these sad songs I sing Dead Dog Memories I can remember like it was yesterday When my puppy got run over by a Chevrolet Daddy said 'he's gone son you're gonna have to say goodbye' I never could do it no matter what he said I refused to believe my dog was dead Now I can see this happenin' all over again It ain't lookin' like you and me are ever going to be we I ain't nothin' you'll ever want, it's plain to see But me oh my, I wonder why I Can't ever let a dead dog lie I ought to give up, but I keep tryin' Keep lookin' for a lovelight that just won't shine I refuse to see that you can't ever be mine I guess it's true, the things I do Cause the pain that I go through But dead dog memories don't fade away with time It ain't lookin' like you and me are ever going to be we I ain't nothin' you'll ever want, it's plain to see But me oh my, I wonder why I Can't ever let a dead dog lie I can't ever let a dead dog lie Bars On Fire Last Thursday night in Pittsburgh PA We played a small bar called the Next Decade During our show a riot broke out And from the back of the bar, I heard someone shout Oh my god the bar's on fire Someone save the beer As the fire spread, it was getting warm We were right in the middle of a five alarm The room was filled with so much smoke I could barely hear what someone choked Oh my god the bar's on fire Someone save the beer Outside the club there was quite a scene With lots of flashing lights and loud sirens And as the firemen ran into the blazing hell I thought I heard one of them yell Oh my god the bar's on fire Someone save the beer Another minute in there and we'd cremiate But as I ran for my life I did hesitate 'Cause there was one thing on my mind That was to never leave a drink behind Oh my god the bar's on fire Someone save the beer Truth be known there wasn't much of a fire Just an A.C. unit with a faulty wire White Boy Blues He's got the best tweed Bassman you ever saw He's a down home, lowdown attorney-at-law He knows his licks so don't you laugh His beat-to-shit Strat cost ten grand and a half Have you heard the news, he got the white boy blues Got himself a guitar that paid its dues He'll jam a little when he gets off work tonight Singin' hey, hey, the blues is alright The boys from the office are really impressed When he straps that Strat across his chest Stevie Ray videos, part one and two He studied 'em both, he knows what to do Have you heard the news, he got the white boy blues Got himself a guitar that paid its dues Jam a little when he gets off work tonight Singin' hey, hey, the blues is alright Singin' hey, hey, the blues is alright He's a member of the local blues society Tryin' to work his way up to a twelve gauge E His wife's so proud of how he made it sing He drank too much but that's a bluesy thing Wipes off the neck and what's left of the chrome Throws it in the turbo Volvo and heads for home Have you heard the news, he got the white boy blues Got himself a guitar that paid its dues He'll jam a little when he gets off work tonight Singin' hey, hey, the blues is alright
