Verse
The cat is chasing shadows again
The stars are singing out loud
I’m so lonely tears have gone bone dry
The warm up band in the local bar
Pink floyd covers on crappy guitars
So out of tune, so out of whack
Chorus
Hank Williams won’t you please come back
Oh please come back
I don’t think you knew just what lonely could be
Please come back, please come back
And sing that lonesome song just one more time with me
Verse
I’m hanging here on the edge of the world
I think mind has become unfurled
The moon is orange, low and full, I can’t fight this bull
Cuz I don’t recognize the ring at all
My heart is heavy and I’m down to a crawl
My clothes are torn, overworn
Chorus
Hank Williams open the door
Open the door
I don’t think you knew just what lonely could be
Open the door, open the door
And sing that lonesome song just one more time with me
SOLO
Bridge
Tequila, coffee and roses
In frequent timely doses
Tequila, coffee and roses
The local drunk is the final touch
Wobbling by the pinball it’s all too much
He yells in my face, I feel so displaced
Chorus
Hank Williams take me anyplace
Anyplace
I don’t think you knew just what lonely could be
Any place, any place
And sing that lonesome song just one more time with me

MY OWN BACKYARD
Music/lyrics Ann Klein and Tim Hatfield © 2003
Verse
I got ghosts in my closet
And they’re haunting me tonight
Casting stones from the shadows
Bring my wrongs into the light
So many things I been seeing
Just don’t sit so well with me
Change the world if I thought I could
But I’ll just start by changing me, changing me
Chorus
*I got trouble in my own backyard
Why should I judge anyone so hard
Leave the future to the draw of the cards
Gotta clean up my own backyard
Verse
Many things I take for granted
Turn my back if I don’t understand em
Give the blame so I won’t get it
I’ll walk away and just forget it
Chorus
*I got trouble in my own backyard
Why should I judge anyone so hard
Leave the future to the draw of the cards
Gotta clean up my own backyard
Lap solo
*I got trouble in my own backyard
Why should I judge anyone so hard
Leave the future to the draw of the cards
Gotta clean up my own backyard
My own backyard
My own backyard

YOUR SOUTHERN CHARMS – Ann Klein
We’re in the kitchen, the kettle’s whistlin’
I can’t keep steady cuz you keep on kissin’
You say who needs coffee I feel so alive
And into your kiss I take the big dive
Into your pool of welcoming arms
I know this is more than your southern charms
What is there brewing up on that stove
A bubbling stew of love from the grove
A mighty potion full of heat and spice
Lay it all down on a bed of rice
And then my tongue sounds the alarm
I know this is more than your southern charms
We’re in garden watching the vines
Embracing each other to bring forth the wine
You say drink to the future, passion and health
Look in my eyes, down through myself
So I fall into your arms
I know this is more than your southern charms

SAD SONG
Followed my heart over the sea
Love always seems to get the best of me
Wore my chains, wore them with pride
Just my luck, my love he lied
It’s a sad song, never knew where I belonged
I fought back with all my might
Slept with the devil once or twice
Met a voodoo king with one strong kiss
Left me on the lord’s ol’ black list
It’s a sad song, never knew where I belonged
It’s a sad song, never knew where I went wrong
I know a bar on a side street in hell
Use my name in there, they’ll treat you well
Round the corner is a cheap hotel
They’ve got my secrets I hope they never tell
solo
It’s a sad song, never knew where I belonged
It’s a sad song, never knew where I went wrong

GOODBYE CHARADE
I’m going to Kentucky, just a pack and my guitar
To tell the truth I’m running from you, away and very far
If you must know I can’t stand another moment of your game
It’s long since time I draw the line and stop marching in your parade
I will not be a soldier in this war on your behalf
Where everyone and everything’s a pawn in your path
I will not put up banners with your smile and your sweet name
It’s time for me to move along and get on with my day
GOODBYE CHARADE
GOODBYE CHARADE
I think that I will travel to a far and distant land
Write some songs before too long, find a good strong man
If I do say I don’t favor wind with fancy sauce
And if you thought you had a friend my trust is all but lost
I will not be your whipping girl while you are on thin ice
And I refuse to risk and lose when it’s your turn to roll the dice
I will not be left dangling just so you can stay in place
It’s time for me to move along and get on with my day
GOODBYE CHARADE
GOODBYE CHARADE
GOODBYE CHARADE
GOODBYE CHARADE

GOODBYE CHARADE
GOODBYE CHARADE
GOODBYE CHARADE
GOODBYE CHARADE

Church bells wake me
Sunday's greeting
Europe is warm
respite from storm
Wraps its arms round
me when I'm down
like a father
wiser calmer
Safe
Strong, forgiving
Bent on living
here now, right now
here now, right now
safe
