Long Day
It's been a long day
When you're sitting all alone
Yeah, It's been a long day
When your'e sitting by the phone
And you're never gonna know where you went wrong
It's been a long day
In an empty room
yeah, It's been a long day
Sitting in the gloom
And you're never gonna see her face again
Wish I could understand, where I went wrong
Baby it's never too late, we've got to be strong

Tell Me Baby
Tell me baby, what is wrong with you?
Tell me baby, what is wrong with you?
Said you look so sad, what can a poor boy do?
Tell me woman, who is on the telephone?
Yeah, tell me woman, who's that on the telephone?
You know there's something wrong
Why do you wanna be alone?
Tell me baby, what is wrong with you?
Tell me baby, what is wrong with you?
You look so sad, what can a poor boy do?
Tell me woman, who is on the phone?
Tell me woman, who is on that telephone?
You know there's something wrong
Why do you wanna be alone?
You know there's something wrong
Why do you wanna be alone?
I know there's something wrong
Why do you wanna be alone?

When Love Grows Cold
Said I can tell when I look at you babe
Just how you feel
Said I can tell when I look at you babe
Said I can tell just how you feel
Feel it so much baby, it tears me apart
When your mood is good babe,
The fires burns inside
When your mood is good babe,
The fires burns inside
You take me to another level,
Then you tear me apart
When love grows cold, it's so sad I know
I said when love grows cold, it's so sad I know
I can take it no more, it tears me apart

I Feel Down
Everybody sees my bad times
Nobody knows how i feel
These tears my friend, oh they are so real
I feel down
Same old story, same old words
sometimes you need to cry
And I can't think of a better time than this
I feel down
I see you there and you just turn away
Oh theres nothing there
Funny, people said we would be alright
I feel down

White Man Sings The Blues
Down in Louisiana
Cotton grows so high
The sun burns your back
But you don't ask why
White man comes along
Never paid his dues
He never suffered
He's never paid his dues
And the white man,
Sings the blues
And the white man,
Sings the blues
Mississippi burning
Black man takes his toll
Cruel to the bone
He sings from his soul
North to Chicago
B.B plays his blues
Oh you know he suffered
He really paid his dues
And the white man,
Sings the blues
And the white man,
Sings the blues
Black man calling out the blues
He always seems to lose
Black man calling out his song
He'd never do you wrong

Feels Just Right
It’s been so long since you came to my door,
Woman never seen you look so good before,
My heart beats heavy and my pulse it quickens,
I start to feel the heat as my blood begins to thicken
And it feels, yes it feels just right
And it feels, yes it feels alright
Summer’s here but you’re dressed in black,
You sink your feline claws right into my back,
You dig so hard that it breaks the skin,
Woman all I need is some discipline
And it feels, yes it feels just right
And it feels, yes it feels alright
Your breath so heavy, we both begin to sweat,
I know that your close but you’re not there yet,
I’ve been caged but now the beast is free,
Woman lie back and taste my ecstasy

Heaven Needs You
Stevie, no Texas flood in your eyes
I said Stevie, no Marys to cry
Hope you see purple jester in the sky
Hope you see purple jester in the sky
Two Strats playing, in the deep red sky
Two Strats screaming and we know why
Heaven needs, heaven needs you to play a while
Heaven needs, heaven needs you to play a while
Voodoo Chile plays the texas howl,
If we could hear you, we’d be going wild
Heaven needs, heaven needs you to play a while
Heaven needs, heaven needs you to play a while

Once You Were A Man
Once you were a man
A man of the world
You had pretty girls
In the palm of your hands
Now you look sad
So sad and alone
Once you were a man
A man of the world
You had so many things
But you gave them all away
Now you look sad
So sad and alone
Don't know what you're trying to do
Don't know what you're trying to say
There are so many people there
That have never heard you play
Once you were a man
A man of the world
You had some pretty girls
In the palm of your hands
Now you look sad
Sad and alone
