Lyrics

“667″

Written by Ward Hayden

You don’t need to go to prison, to rot inside this world
Don’t need no ones opinion, I know you’re a pretty girl
So, go get my pistol, gonna try and shoot the moon
With a couple songs on heartache and one called “Soft Raccoon”
I forgot to say “I love you”
I forgot to call
Forgot to say when I got back home
When I went out I had a ball
And I forgot that I was sorry, for all the things I’d done
Forgot not to do ‘em again, I’ve got to have my fun
Oh, you don’t need to tell me, what I’m doing’s wrong
Be careful what you say to me, I’ll put it in a song
Don’t go tellin’ stories to all your little friends
I’ll bait that hook, you little fish
I know you’ll bite again!
Hell hounds and worry, are catching up to you fast
Hell hath no fury, like a woman who’s love you can’t give back
Whoo, Six-Sixty-Six, I’m at Six-Six-Seven
Right next door to hell is a long way from heaven
She pulled me close, kissed me hard
I know right then that’s the devil, my god
Oh, baby….nothing, but love for you
And you don’t need to go to prison, to rot inside this world
Don’t need no ones opinion, I know you’re a pretty girl
So, go get my pistol, gonna try to shoot the moon
With a couple songs on heartache and one called “Soft Raccoon”
I forgot to say “I love you”
I forgot to call
Forgot to say when I got back home
When I went out I had a ball!

“Only One Thing”

Written by Ward Hayden

There’s only one thing, I want more
Then to take you out in my big white Ford
We’ll go for a drive and get outta this town
Just you and me and the radio
Hold you close when the night gets cold
And darkness comes to hide the world that lies off this road

Pick you up and you’re dressed so fine
Pour you a glass of that Boone’s Farm wine
Take you dancin’ at every bar in and outta this town

Spend my money like I’m ready to die
Lights can go out in the the blink of an eye
Whatever you’re having, baby let’s get one more round!

‘Cause there’s only one thing for me in this world
Met a million girls and talked ‘em in circles
And god only knows what I’d do to get you outta them clothes…

“Inverted Valentine”

Written by Ward Hayden

It’s a wonder that I find myself in bed without a pen
If these words don’t written, I know I’ll forget
Keep tryin’ to tell myself I can bring you back with words
If these words don’t get written, these words don’t get heard

It’s so hard to concentrate when you’re tits are in my face
Focus my attention, I’m all over the place
See the world is busy, as cars go passing by
Everyone, but me has something to occupy their time and…

Oh, my little Inverted Valentine
Oh, my little Inverted Valentine

All these thoughts are fleeting, disappearing in my brain
I wish they’d come back, I could put them on a page
And hold onto the words, like little captive birds
If I could just contain them, in a caged and captive world

Like a sleeping giant, American heartache
Love affairs and jealousy, American heartbreak
Pull up the covers, turn the radio on
But listening to sad songs won’t, bring my baby home

Oh, my little Inverted Valentine
Oh, my little Inverted Valentine

Casual violence, you won’t hear me complain
Sit around and wait for my heart to start beating again

Oh, my little Inverted Valentine
Oh, my little Inverted Valentine

“Ramblin’ Ole Daddy”

Written by Ward Hayden

Ramblin’ Ole Daddy
He comes and he goes,
In and out like the tide of the river
Ramblin’ Ole Daddy ain’t comin’ back home
Mama, she shakes and she shivers
If Mama could hold on for a couple more years,
Maybe she’ll marry another,
But she’s collecting debt like cheap souveniers
Can’t hide from debts you can’t cover
And oh, no, where do I go?
I ain’t got no one to turn to
Oh, no, like and ember of hope
Love and money both get burned through
I knew this was coming when I heard them fight
Mama knew that Daddy was cheatin’
But she stuck around, I think out of spite
And made sure it was Daddy who’s leavin’
‘Cause there’ll always be women and always be drinks
And one roll of the dice is still gamblin’
No matter how hard you hold him or try to play nice
You can’t stop the rambler from ramblin’
Bridge:
I know what love is…
I know pain…
I guess this is where love is…today
Ramblin’ ole Daddy has got a new life
And the boss at his job lets him sleep in
I hope I can visit at least once or twice
He says he’ll see me on weekends
For ramblin’ ole Daddy has got a new wife
Who keeps saying “Como se dice?”
When they come to visit they don’t stay the night
It just breaks Mama to pieces
And oh, no, where do I go?
I ain’t got no one to turn to
And oh, no, like an ember of hope
Love and money both get burned through

“Temptation”

Written by Ward Hayden

Temptation won’t stay gone…
Temptation won’t stay gone…
Keeps creeping up on me, I know I’m not that strong…
Temptation won’t stay gone…for long…
Refrain:
Temptation….
The nighttime is so empty
And you find yourself alone
You’re running out the backdoor of your best friends woman’s home
It’s like I’ve got more troubles than there’s bubbles in champagne
Temptation’s seeds were planted
They’re rooted in my brain
I’d better thing this over and not act upon my will
Check back in the morning and the thoughts will be there still
There’s always repercussions for the bad things you do,
But when temptation offers it is so hard to refuse
Refrain:
Temptation….

“Keep on Calling”

Written by Ward Hayden

Keep on calling my phone tonight, call all night if you like
If the whole world knew what you’d done to me
They’d know that this call was impolite

I know what your parents think about me
I know they don’t want me hanging ’round
Your daddy told me if he sees me with his daughter
He’s gonna fetch his gun and cut me down

Don’t want to hear you say you’re sorry
Or talk about times we had
Two-timin’ woman, my memories can prove it
Baby, you’re bad

Keep on calling my phone tonight, call all night if you like
If the whole world knew what you’d done to me
They’d know that this call was impolite

And you told me, baby, you loved me
Swore to me you’d always stay true
I saw you out with another man
And I learned there’s more than one way to get screwed

Don’t want to hear you say you’re sorry
Or talk about times we had
Two-timin’ woman, my memories can prove it
Oh Baby, you’re bad

Keep on calling my phone tonight, call all night if you like
If the whole world know what you’d done to me
They’d know that this call was impolite

They’d know this call, they’d know this call, they’d know that this call was impolite
They’d know this call, they’d know this call, they’d know that this call was impolite

“Suzie”

Written by Ward Hayden

Oh, I know you’ve already got a man
He don’t care much for me
I know he saw me giving you the eye
He don’t like what he sees

But, Suzie my baby, Suzie my gal
My thoughts won’t leave you alone
I know you’re gonna leave with him
I wish I was taking you home

I saw you together outside of a bar
You were laughing and holding him tight
Oh, I know you’ve already got a man
That don’t mean that it’s right

I know my friends are gonna say I’m wrong
And think that I’m outta line
But, Suzie my baby, Suzie my gal
It’s not for your love they pine

If I see you tonight I’ll just pass on by
I won’t even turn my head
If our eyes should meet I won’t say a word
Some things are better left unsaid

I saw you together, outside of a bar
You were laughing and holding him tight
Oh, I know you’ve already got a man
That’s don’t mean that it’s right, that don’t mean that it’s right

Oh, I know you’ve already got a man
He don’t care much for me
I know he saw me giving you the eye
He don’t like what he sees

But, Suzie my baby, Suzie my gal
My thoughts won’t leave you alone
I know that you’re gonna leave with him
I wish I was taking you home

I saw you together, outside of a bar
You were laughing and holding him tight
Oh, I know you’ve already got a man
That’s don’t mean that it’s right, that don’t mean that it’s right…

“Baby, You’re a Dog”

Written by Ward Hayden

Baby, you’re a dog
I knew it all along
I let you out, you run off
Baby, you’re a dog

Baby, you’re a dog at heart
You ran around before we broke apart
Though you were clever, you were never smart
Baby, you’re a dog at heart

Man, I should’ve known, better than to leave you all alone
And I know you’ve been to town, gotta put that bad bitch down

Baby, you’re a dog it’s in your eyes
They’re big and brown and baby, they’re never dry
And howlin’ at the moon ain’t no way to get by
You’re a dog it’s in your eyes

For you I’d walk a million miles
I’d buy you things, I’d dress you up in style
You showed your teeth, but that was no smile
For you I’d walk another million miles

Goodbye, that’s all she knows
Now you’re gone and heart is broke
Goodbye, that’s all she wrote
Now you’re gone, my heart is broken

For you I’d walk a million miles
I’d buy you things, I’d dress you up in style
You showed your teeth, but that was no smile
For you I’d walk another million miles

Man, I should’ve known, better than to leave you all alone
And I know you’ve been to town, gotta put that bad bitch down

I hurts me so bad, memories could drive a sane man mad
I think about it now and then, I’d take back, but you’d do it again…

“Keep Your Distance”

Written by Ward Hayden

They say I was born with my hands around my neck
They told me not to worry, I’m still a wreck
They begged me not go, but how was I to stay
What do they know anyway?

They say I’ve been fighting with my hands behind my back
I never came out swinging, walked right into the trap
And the questions I asked, I never heard back a word
They found the questions too absurd

Honey, if you ever had a doubt
If I would fuck you over
Honey, if you ever see me out,
Keep your distance

They say I’ve been living with my hands over my eyes
It’s hard to reach the stars when you can’t even see the sky
And the times that I tried I never got too far than this
Then had to stop to take a piss

They say I’ve been running in a race not being timed
It pays me by the hour and it’s got no finish line
And all the other runners have been training all their lives
It’s hard to get out from behind

Honey, if you ever had a doubt
If I would fuck you over
Honey, if you ever see me out,
Keep your distance

“Working All the Time”

Written by Ward Hayden

Tell me honey, do I ever cross your mind
Tell me baby, is it even worth your time
Don’t you worry, I’ll still think of you just fine
Tell me honey, does all this seem alright

Working all the time
Working all the time

Stars like nails, pin the black against the sky
In the state that I’m in, oblivion seems nice
Hide the heavens; temtation, words and wine
Hold me baby, wrapped inside your pretty thighs

Working all the time
Working all the time
Working all the time
Working all the time

Always unhappy, unless drunk or in your arms
Strong will or muscle couldn’t keep me out of harms way
And if I loved you, would you still leave me?
‘Cause in the graveyard you’re kept constant company!

Working all the time
I’m working all the time
Working all the time
Working all the time

“Unrequited Love”

Written by Ward Hayden

I wish I could hold onto you
Like the words of this song,
Maybe that’s the difference between
The realm which I’m living and that which I dream
This ain’t the movies and you’re not for me…
Oh, oh, unrequited love
Oh, oh, unrequited love
If Cupid’s arrow stays true
Your unrequited heart, will his arrow pass through
For love and lust, I must entrust they are fleeting
And love like this can only go bad
When I held you close, I felt what you’re needing,
But for my love to not be returned is all I ask…

Big Man

Written by Ward Hayden

Over comes the Big Man
Big Man gonna try
Over comes the big man
Everybody step aside

Move it on over
Oh, let the Big Man by….

Over comes the Big Man
Full of height and Might
Overcome the Big Man
Boy do Big Fish Fry

Question Big Man
You know Big Man don’t reply

Rockabye, Say Goodnight
Close your eyes
Dream of little white lies
Justify all that occupies your precious time
Tongue-tied lullabye
Rest your tired pride
