Baby you know I had a difficult time I had to stop you and then ask you why I believe I got your answer then, loud and clear When you turned around and spit in my eye Well, I know it's a game, and you know it's a shame When neither one of us will tell the truth But down in my brain, where my thoughts are a train I know the fault is all because of your youth --- Baby, you know, you've got me hangin' low Like a monkey swingin' out of a tree I'm a pig in a sty, you're a bird on the fly I see you flyin' 'round in circles over me As a matter of fact, in a manner abstract I wish to register with you a complaint Well, I've told you before, and I'll tell you some more That everything that you may think you are, you ain't --- (lead guitar) --- Well, it's the end of the line, it's the end of all time And you are finally convicted, it's true It was obvious because of all your heinous crimes There was nothing else that they could do No cosmic significance, no lasting effect No impression that forever stands 'Twas the success or failure of your happiness, not mine That you were twistin' like a towel in your hands
If you'd like to download more than one song at a time, you can point your ftp program to http://www.alton-moore.net/downloads/music and have at it!
The songs are listed here in order of "quality", which is a combination of how good the songs are and how good the recordings are. I suggest that you download them in roughly this order.
NOTE: If you click on the "Download now" link and the song starts to download without prompting you where to save it, then some program (Realplayer or WinAmp or something) is going to play it when it finishes downloading, but it won't be saved on your disk anywhere! If this happens, cancel the download, then right-click on the "Download now" link and choose "Save link as" instead, so you'll be prompted where to save the file.
You don't walk to close, or drift too far I like everything about the way you are Girl with the eyes, and the long black hair You look good walking or just lyin' there --- Big pretender tried to take the throne But you're the only one that ever turned me on Others left me with a bloody nose Believe me I've had many of those --- (lead guitar) --- Long white dress, candlelight Sophisticated, outta sight Playin' pool, dressin' loud Actin' sexy, stun the crowd Drive my car, share my life Spend my money, probably make a helluva wife
Now I'm with you, and you make me feel like a natural man And you fill up my head and my whole world when you hold my hand You say you're my love and you fit in my life easily And I want to be with you, that won't change as far as I see --- Well, I'm a fun liver, but now somehow you've changed my style I'm still having fun, but it's you now that makes life worthwhile I'm thinking of spending the rest of my life just with you I'm gonna do something that I never thought I would do I wanna shake it on down the aisle with you I wanna marry you --- (lead guitar) --- Baby you know, I've got it all figured out, knowin' what I got to do Gonna look you right now in the eye, shake it on down the aisle with you
I jump up, but you push me back down Then you grab my chair, and you spin it all around You tell me the things you say are right for me, but How'm I gonna know, 'cause you never let me see, the Things that are goin' on in the world I wanna get loose, I wanna find myself a girl But you've got me blindfolded so that I cannot see You've got me handcuffed, but I wanna be free --- You try to cut me off from the realities of life But I wanna be out, and learning' something every night And you've got me strapped down, shinin' light into my eyes If I ever did some thinkin' for myself, you'd be surprised, that I wanna get out, and I wanna have some fun I wanna do some silly things, the same as everyone But you turn to your assistant, and you give 'em a nod They go out through a door, they come back with a cattle prod --- (lead) --- You used to have me fooled, you had me thinkin' you were right But I've got it figured out, and now I curse you every night And you made a big mistake, you never gave me any trust But I'm gonna bust loose, 'cause I'm doin' what I must, and that's Get away from you, 'cause you're messin' with my mind I'm looking for some happiness, I think I'm gonna find It's a long, long road, better be on my way I've got so much to learn, and I've got so much to say.
Hit me, and I'll rub your nose In that awful thing you done Baby, you didn't treat me right, you just Packed your bags and run And I don't know how to deal with things that Pop into my head But I'll tell you true, when I'm finished with you You're gonna wish we never met You're gonna wish we never met For that awful thing you done --- (lead) --- You were a dirty little girl, and I picked you up When you were on your knees Picked you up and I taught you right And now you stand on your own two feet When you were mine, thought you were the kind That picked up some sense from me Now you're ungrateful and you think That you can stand without me That you can stand without me But it's kinda tough you'll see
It's late at night, with the full moon through the Storm clouds gathering I unlock my door Automatically, while thinking Of my time with you You really set my head to spinning In, the night I'm all alone and I'm thinking about you --- I turn on the television Helps me pass the time without you Distant peal of thunder Makes the noisy parts of the house shake I look through the curtains At sprinkling on the window pane In, the night I'm all alone and I think it's gonna rain --- (lead) --- Thunder knockin' on my door So late at night, who could be there? Open up to find you shivering Big-eyed girl with long wet hair Funny thing how people say that Nothing ever turns out right In, the night Rain on the roof, and you to hold me tight
I sit in the park and watch the children play Looks like I'm doin' this now every day I see the old men Maybe I've become one of them I tell myself there ain't no way --- (bridge) Goals I have not, responsibilities none My mind is empty, and there's nowhere to run Now I'm livin' someone else's life God, you know, I'm only thirty-five Feels like my life is done --- (chorus) But I remember in another life I had a son, and I had a wife But that was so, long ago You'll never know, what I've been through Wish I could forget, but my memory's cruel And now I regret the seeds that I once sowed --- (lead) --- Sitting outside, on a stay-indoors day But nobody cares, and no one turns my way No one wants to look at me I've been cast out, by the ones of the city But there's no feeling inside of me --- (bridge) --- (chorus)
Come on, Little Debbie, come on over to me As sweet as the pies, that bear your name You know that when I'm finished with you You know that things ain't never gonna be the same --- I roam in the valley, and I jump from the tree There just ain't no way to hide from me You're gonna give it up, that's what I say And I'll use my power just to make sure, you give it up today --- (lead) --- Jump back, 'cause I give you a surprise But I wanna tame a certain wild look in your eyes Run fast, but I trip you up hard I want you, I got you, and I'll take you apart
Joyfully romancing, the wind Thinkin' 'bout the shape, that my mind is in Overpowered by the ways of nature, and of God Revelations shower over me --- Why do I feel one now with the world Patterns begin to reveal themselves, and secrets to unfurl I analyze an object, and it seems to fit right in It represents ideas that I'm thinking --- (lead) --- (transition between songs) --- Come on, baby I have a need for you Come on, baby I have a need for you You know you love me And I've been blue So come on baby Whatcha gonna do?
I remember you from way back when When you were young and good And you were always the quiet type I wanted you so bad And now you're older, I see you again I wanna know, do you have a boyfriend? I get the urge, to be with you I can't forget what I never had --- You remember when I was in school? When I needed attention, I acted the fool Think of all the trouble, that I went through Just for the sake of some attention from you I wanted you then, but I'm scared of you now I wanna be your friend, but I don't know how Need someone to talk to, and I think you do too Lemme try to help you, lemme make you feel new --- (lead) --- Thinkin' 'bout the times, from way back when Never thought I'd ever see your, face again Look in your eyes of deep deep blue You smile at me, and I smile at you, and You're still quiet, you don't say much But you respond when I give you a touch Better take advantage, better think fast Looks like I've gotten through to you at last!
I just hit the speed of light I'm in a perpetual midnight I'm goin' from star to star 'Cause I don't know where you are Not knowin' quite what to do I've sent this message to you So if I never break free You will know what has happened to me --- I don't, navigate well As you can probably tell Hope I find the right black hole Before I get too old Make the jump into hyperspace And if I don't find the human race I'll be forgotten by friends of mine Traveling space, lost in time --- (lead) --- Been gone for two years now But I'm still hangin' on somehow Not much to do in these parts I study physics, create some art Philosophize every now and then Wonder if I'll ever see home again Warning sounding, hold on tight; I've just hit the speed of light.
I'd like to catch the heart of that girl over there She knows that I love her, but she don't even care I play the game of love, and I practice my part I wanna play with her, but she don't wanna start --- I've a lover boy, and I travel around So far I've done well with all the women I've found But this one here don't act, like the others do I swear before long, she's gonna break my flippin' heart in two Well, I play the game well, and I'm accustomed to win But she makes me feel dizzy, now my head's in a spin --- (lead) --- Well, she sent me a message, the other day But she sent it with her husband, and he told me not to play With her any more Good thing he took my word, when I said I didn't know I was gonna have fun, but he ruined the whole show Well, I'm no real expert, but I'll tell you that you'll very Likely get a broken heart, from a woman who is married
Catch me when I fall 'Cause I don't know anything at all About lovin' you I don't know what I should do With a lady like you --- (lead) --- Catch me when I fall So I won't fall so far And I won't end up black and blue And I can end up with you
How come you won't let me go out at night, Drink with the boys in the band till daylight? You know that I'm tryin' my best to be good, I just can't start doin' the things that I should. --- I shouldn't have brought you along's what they say You're makin' a mess of my hell-raisin' ways You've got too much interest in my social life The girls ask me sometimes if you are my wife --- (chorus) Mama! You're drivin' me crazy! Now Mama! Quit callin' me baby! You know I'm tryin' to do what is right... Mama, quit makin' a mess of my life. --- You're makin' things hard on a boy out for fun Like the other day, when I almost had me some I was makin' good headway with a cute little dear, When you run up and drug me away by the ear! --- You're drivin' me crazy, I think you can see, It's makin' my fans laugh; they joke about me! I got no more friends 'cause they're all runnin' from The country star still on a leash to his mom! --- (chorus)
