Three Times
I’m only going to think about you three times a dayI’m only going to think about you three times a day
I know it won’t be easy butI know it won’t be easy but, babyI know it won’t be easy but, baby, that’s the only way
Every time I let my imagination run
Son of a gun, I get nothing done
So I’m only going to think about you three times a day
I’m only going to think about youI’m only going to think about you morning,I’m only gonna think about you morning, noon, and night
I know it won’t be easy but that’s a urge I’ve got a fight
Cos it don’t take much to get me to chase my tail
When I think of you, my heart swells
I’m only going to think about youI’m only going to think about you morning, noon, and night
You’re like an age that IYou’re like an itch that I can’t scratch
Smack dab in the middle of my back
This burnin’, yearnin’s gettin’ in the way
So I’m only going to think about you threeSo I’m only going to think about you three times a daySo I’m only going to think about you three times a day

Off the Rack
Well, she wore my favorite dress here tonight
With the low-cut back and hips hugging tight
And she knows just what that dress does to me
It takes me back to where we used to be
Back when we was the talk of the town
We’d reallyWe’d really cut a rug in that gown
And everybody knew we was a hit
And I’d always find my way up that slip
Well, she said “doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo...
Go ‘head, Brent, go do them things you do”
Well they say everything’s fair in war and love
And it looks like she’s finally took off her gloves
There’s no looking back when you’re stacked like that
Now I wish she’d never pulled it off the rack

Sadie Mae
I met you when I was desperate and you nursed me like a child
But now I’m grown with desires of my own and, Sadie, they’re running wild
When my eyes were closed it was hard to see anyone but you
With a heavy heart and a steady tongue, I’m telling you that we’re through
Sadie Mae... oh, my Sadie Mae
I met a girl on an evening stroll. She’s as fair as the Helen of Troy
We’ve made a life down in Birmingham that I can’t let you destroy
I’ve come here now to collect my things then I’ll leave you alone in this mess
Sadie Mae, don’t stand in the way of my new found happiness
Sadie Mae, I know what you’re gonna say
You’ll say “how could you? How could you do this to me?”
Well, go ahead and laugh, Miss Sadie Mae, if that’s the way that you feel
Roll your eyes at fancy’s flight, but the deal has already been sealed
Now, let go of what you don’t possess
My heart doesn’t need a sling
Feel my pocket knife dig under your breast
I hereby cut the string
Sadie Mae... look at you now, Sadie Mae
Blood dripping and slipping away
The scales, they are turning my way
Sadie Mae
You’ll say, “how could you? How could you do this to me?

f She takes You Back
If she takes you back, she’s gonna pay you back
That’s how it is, man. It’s a natural fact
Give her the chance, she’s going to make you dance
She’s biding her time to set a fire in your pants
Thanks to you she learned how it feels to get burned
If she takes you back she’s gonna pay you back in spades
Two wrongs make a right, but that girl is filled with spite
If she takes you back she’s gonna pay you back in spades
Well, she might act sweet and turn the other cheek
She might even wave when she sends you up the creek
But if you assume that she’s licking wounds
You can’t smell her trap though her cheap perfume
You can’t take no more, she done evened up the score
If she takes you back she’s gonna to pay you back in spades
Well, she’ll get her revenge. Oh, man, it ain’t if, it’s when
If she takes you back she’s gonna pay you back in spades
If she takes you back, she’s gonna to pay you back
And you’ll be under the bus without a prayer or jack
Your days are numbered in the running out fast
Oh trust me, brother, she’s gonna laugh last
Yeah her heart she knows you ain’t the only rodeo
If she takes you back she’s gonna pay you back in spades
Thanks to you she learned how it feels to get burned
If she takes her back she’s gonna pay you back in spades

Because I Know

Well, you’ve seen this land from coast to coast.
You’ve run and hid from every ghost in your past.
Inside you knew it was all the same,
And each time swore this game would be your last.
You acted like you had nothing to lose,
When it was under lock and key.
But the game goes on, even if you fold,
So wipe away the tears so you can see.
Believe me, because I know...
Well, you used to do things out of spite.
You know, you used to have a lot more fight. Where’d it go?
And you chalk it up to those “12 long steps”.
And when you take em, make sure you take em slow.
Yeah, you thought the pieces would just fall into place
When you took your last drink
And you had to feel something for the first time in years
Now, tell me what do you think?
Believe me, because I know...
Well, I’m sorry to tell you, but you cant go back.
Don't act surprised, that’s a simple fact of life.
Wont be the first street of gold you been down.
Get to the end and all you’ve found are misery and strife.
Well, you had to know that it wont come easy,
They Say anything worth having never does.
But “they“ all came from happy homes,
And wouldn’t have the slightest about what emptiness was.
Believe me, because I know.
Believe me, its such a fucking pity.
Believe me, there’s little hope if any.
Believe me, the hard times are a’plenty...
I know.
