The Peach State

This heat is relentless
The air here's so scentless
I never felt like I meant less
Than some time ago
But now I'm in the Pach State
And boy this ain't our first date
But don't worry darlin'
I ain't got no complaints
I'm vast and nameless
I'm soft and painless
I'm fighting off strangers
And waiting home for your kiss
Its hot ain't it
Highway sign there to state it
Oh this raunchy humidity
This is what he said to thee
With a smile and a wink
When you're in the Peach State
It ain't wise to debate
Keep your head down and act straight
Don't let on, you think it's wrong
What they're on
I'm languid and sanguine
I'll hang back and do fine
Hot love in the summertime
And its dumb country twin
Cos there's always a dark side
A Southern kindness, a minor chide
Its creepin' past midnight
And I'll put up no fight
Cos I'm in the Peach State

Who told you butter was evil?
Cos they sure ain't no friend of mine
Who told you butter was evil?
Cos I'm here to tell you they're lyin'
The things that you hear when you're young, son
They stick in you harder than truth
The things that get under your skin Jim
Feel more natural than a loose tooth
Who told you butter was evil?
Cos they don't know what they talkin' bout
Who told you butter was evil?
Its time you heard them with some doubt
Butter do not fill your veins up
Or make your poor heart explode
Time ain't your own till your children are grown
Now that's the truth
And there you go Cisco
I'm cutting through you like butter
He said touching' me the first time
I saw in you some kind of nuttier
A fool I'd be if I stayed blind
Who told you butter was evil?
Cos they sure ain't no friend of mine
Who told you butter was evil?
Cos I'm here to tell you they're lyin'

Lonesome Beauty

Lonesome Beauty, howlin’ at the moon
Hopin’ someone else is singin’ your tune
Any old arms will do on a night like tonight
You always get this way when the moon is shining bright
Lonesome Beauty, I’m not the one for you
Bercause my darlin; I’d only make you blue
You need someone who can take care of you
Yes I could kiss you but I’m not the one for you
Lonesome Beauty, go on home to bed
You know you’ve said some things that you probably shouldn’t have said
They’ll only bring you trouble and you don’t need more of that
Lonesome Beauty, what are you gonna do?
To lift this curse that’s hanging over you
Howlin’ to the moon, howlin’ to the moon
Yes I could kiss you but I’m not the one for you

I Must Be Seein' Things

I must be seein' things
I thought I saw you sit too close to her
Since I put on your ring
Everything seems to be a blur
Maybe I'm flying high
On this love you're givin' me
But that sure looked like your hand in hers
But I know that's insanity
I know you love me true and you'd never play around
Thats why I must be seein' things
Better keep my feet closer to the ground
My eyes are just playin' tricks on me
That just couldn't be her lips on yours
She better just be kissin' you goodnight
Or darlin' that'd be grounds for divorce
I must be seein' things
Like a lake on the highway
I know they got a name for that
But I could a sworn I saw it anyway
Maybe been crazy in love's sent me crazy
I know I'm mad for you
Maybe the night's grown a little hazy
But I hope i didn't see you do what I thought I saw you do
Ooh the lights are dim in here
But everything seems kinda clear
If I'm seein' what I think I see
I think I better get out of here
Oh the walls are closing
The floor won't stay on the ground
If I'm seein' what I think I see
I think I see myself leavin' town
