beth hart - ain 039 t no way

Ain't no way for me to love you,
If you won't let me.
It ain't no way for me to give you all you need,
If you won't let me give all of me.
I know that a woman's duty,
Is to help and love a man,
And that's the way it was planned.
Oh, but how can I, how can I, how can I
Give you all the things I can,
If you're tying both of my hands?
Oh, it ain't no way (ain't no way).
It ain't no way (ain't no way).
It just ain't no way, baby (ain't no way).
Ain't no way baby (ain't no way).
It ain't no way for me to love you,
If you won't let me.

Stop trying to be someone you're not.
How cold and cruel is a man
Who pay too much for what he got?
And if you need me to love you,
Say, say you do.
Oh, then baby, baby, baby
Don't you know that I need you?
Oh, Oh, it ain't no way.
I'll tell you that it ain't no way,
It ain't no way.
It ain't no way, baby, no.
It just ain't no way.
It sure ain't no way
It ain't no way for me to love you,
If you won't let me.

beth hart - as long as i have a song

Walk into the bar
And shake off my coat
Pull up a chair
And light up a smoke

Where did all those summers go?
Guess I'll never know
So barkeep let's give it a go

Pour me a dream
And play me a tune
And I'll get along
Just as long
As I have a song

Sit by the church
And hear children sing
I like to pretend they're
Singing for me

Memories of melodies
And words that made me cry
They have all abandoned me
Sit back and watch me die

Pour me a dream
And play me a tune
And I'll get along
Just as long
As I have a song

The river is wide
And the ocean's so deep
The harder I try
The faster I sink into the rich of the dark
The cheapest of tricks
I've lost the fire
Still I'm sharpening my wick
But it's just smoke
And that's all

So pour me a tune
As blue as the moon
And I'll get along
Just as long
As I have a song
I'll hum along
And that is how I'll get along

beth hart - bang bang boom boom

Road is wide, sky is black
Rattle snake running down your back
Desert howls, liar's moon
Bang bang bang boom boom boom boom

I want your love, I want your love
I want your poison in my cup
Morning sun rises soon
Bang bang bang boom boom boom boom
Bang bang, in ring of fire
Bang bang, my sweet desire
Bang bang, my love is true
Bang bang, I die for you
Bang bang bang boom boom boom boom

Count it down from ten to one
Crazy heart, lucky gun
We were born, bad blood and bone
You're the sticks, I am the stones
Bang bang, in ring of fire
Bang bang, my sweet desire
Bang bang, my love is true
Bang bang, I'd die for you
Bang bang bang boom boom boom boom

I'll be Bonnie, you'll be Clyde
Rock and roll suicide
Meet you on the other side
Bullets made from silver spoons
I got em' baby just for you
Go ahead and make your move
And do it soon

Bang bang, in ring of fire
Bang bang, my sweet desire
Bang bang, my love is true
Bang bang, I'd die for you
Bang bang bang boom boom boom boom
And the last bang bang may be for you

beth hart - better than home

I can feel my body breathing
I can feel my heart is moving fast
I am not afraid or lonely
I am not chasing the ghosts of the past
I have found the place where hunger
Meets the edge and now I'm facing God

I won't dare look into his eyes
I can only hang my head to the ground
When I try and open my mouth
There's so many words but there's no sound
And the angel comes upon me
And the love I feel's a love I've never known

And it's better than home
Better than home
Out on this long and winding road
Chasing the sound with my friends
And we ain't never rolling back again
And who knows what we're gonna find
knows what we're gonna see
Knows how we're gonna change
Knows what we're gonna be
Baby it's just you and me
So keep driving on
Cause this is better than home

Everything inside me is stirring
In every corner of every secret wound
In the light I am adoring
Feel like flying in circles around the moon
When I gaze upon the world
I know that I'm a part of something good
I knew that I could
And it's a love I've never known

Better than home
This is better than home
Out on this long and winding road
Chasing the sound with my friends
And we ain't ever coming back again
Yeah, who knows what we're gonna find
knows what we're gonna see
Knows how we're gonna change
Knows what we're gonna be
Baby it's just you and me
So keep driving on
Cause this is better than home

This is better than home
This is better than home

beth hart - blame the moon

She remembers the day they met
Right down to the minute
Her life has never been the same

Sitting alone in the dark
Staring into the night
Her life has never ever been the same
She cries, "It's a mystery
Can anybody see it,
How much this is hurting me?
It's black magic
It's the season of the witch."

Blame the moon, Blame the moon
(Repeat)

Yeah it's a mystery
Anybody see it
How much this is hurting me
It's black magic
It's the season of the witch

Blame the moon, Blame the moon
Repeat 2x
I said blame, blame the moon, blame

Blame the moon.

beth hart - bottle of jesus

I got my wine and cigarettes
These twenty cents is all I got left
Don't bother me, I'm trying to swim
I guess I'll lay around all day
Sit back and smile just fade away.
A drunk yard dog is what I am

Break out the bottle of Jesus
Plug in the black light rosary
Somebody's waiting to save me

I know my neighbors wish I'd die
I'm much too loud when I get high
I think I'll send around some pie
I'll spike that dish with a touch of herb
It'll numb their lips
And soothe their nerves
I'll build my kingdom on the curb

Break out the bottle of Jesus
Plug in the black light rosary
Somebody's waiting to save me

Be it rain or shine
I'll get high like summertime.
It's an All-Americana party time
Tell that landlord man
I'll kick that bastard like a can
It's an All-Americana party time
I don't listen to rules or Gospel
They're just trying to shut me up.
Call me the master of "ole misfortune
A weasel a weaselin' away.
Dear Lord. Hold the sight.
Oh Lord. Gonna set me free

beth hart - broken amp ugly

Me and my dog really get along
She don't howl when I'm screamin' my songs
I cuss, I drink, I lie, I spit,
Guess I really don't give a shit
Broken and ugly yes I am
Still I feel good divin' in Mama
I'm runnin' again- odelay
Down in Alabama where I'm wanted in jail
I'm a little nervous in the Bible belt
I'm broke I'm smoked out and passed out on the bar
Then I took all the money and your grandma's car
Broken and ugly yes I am
Still I look good divin' in Mama
I'm runnin' again- Odelay
Do what ya do say what ya say
Don't waste no time on yesterdays
Cash in your ticket to ride
Don't let them talk you into walkin'
Into no one else's shoes
Don't be no sucker in line

beth hart - caught out in the rain

Everytime he walks out the front door
I wonder if he's ever coming back
But I can't help but love the taste of danger, baby
And the howl and the wind
And the rough of his hands

I got caught up in the rain
If I die I don't care, I'm in love
I'm in love, I'm in love
I'm in love with this man
I got caught out, caught out, caught out in the rain

I heard him crying in his sleep last night
No man wants to be told that he's been crying
When he wakes up I tell him it's gonna be alright
But I know that he knows that I'm just lying
I heard he shot a man down in the street
And it tore his soul apart
Last night when he was making love to me
There was another woman in his heart

Caught up in his name
Caught up in his pain
Caught all of his shame
And it ain't nobody's business

beth hart - chocolate jesus

Well I don't go to church on Sunday
Don't get on my knees to pray
Don't memorize the books of the Bible
Got my own special way
I know Jesus loves me
Maybe just a little bit more
I fall down on my knees every Sunday
At Zerelda Lee's candy store

Well I've got to be a chocolate Jesus
Make me feel good inside
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Keep me satisfied

Well I don't want no Abba Zabba
Don't want no Almond Joy
There ain't nothing better suitable for this boy
Well it's the only thing that can pick me up
Better than a cup of gold
See only a chocolate Jesus can satisfy my soul

When the weather gets rough
And it's whiskey in the shade
It's best to wrap your savior up in cellophane
He flows like the big muddy but that's ok
Pour him over ice cream for a nice parfait

Well it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
Good enough for me
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Good enough for me

Well it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
Make me feel so good inside
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Keep me satisfied

beth hart - close to my fire

Strike a match and set me on fire
Watch it burn and flames getting higher
You light me up, sweet old desire
So won't you come close to my fire?

Baby, it's cold when you're gone
Don't make me wait, wait too long
Whenever you're near I have all this feeling
You're melting me down
Oh, I'm a believer

Strike a match and set me on fire
Watch it burn and flames getting higher
You light me up, sweet old desire
So won't you come close to my fire?

Boy you are my symptom delusion
You're melting me down, my resolution
I can escape, can't say I'm trying
You say my name, oh I can't hide it
So come on, shoot down
Don't smoke it down
You can't stop craving til you come around
I can't deny it, I'm right here at home
My fever is waiting
Oh you know I want ya

Strike a match and set me on fire
Watch it burn and flames getting higher
You light me up, sweet old desire
So won't you come close to my fire?

Close to my fire
Ain't no need to tell me why
Ain't no need to tell me why
Because you know I want you to

Strike a match and set me on fire
Watch it burn and flames getting higher
You light me up
Oh yea yea yea, You light me up
Oh come on, You light me up!
Close to my fire
Come come come come close to my fire

beth hart - delicious surprise

If I won me the lottery
I'd dance naked in the street
With a top hat full of money
& you'd wanna get to know me
if I won me the lottery
& if I was a movie star
I'd sip honey from a pickle jar
in the back of my limousine
& they'd call me an icon
& I'd be lookin' back at you
from the cover of the People magazine
I guess it's all for the takin'
I guess it's all yours and mine
my sister says I got to see it & believe it
& I believe I believe it
But I'm just an outsider
livin' in a trailer with my black & white TV set
If only I was President
you know I'd paint the White House pink
& never have to pay the rent
if only I was President
I guess it's all there for the takin'
I think it's all yours & mine
My preacher says I got to see it to believe it
& l believe
Won't sleep till I've had enough
I believe won't sip my wine from no paper cup
I believe won't sleep till I've had enough
Delicious Surprise
Now I do believe
No fear in my eyes
Now I can see
Heaven's inside inside inside
I knew it all the time
Got me somethin to believe in
but all I really want now is
a handful of salvation

beth hart - drive

Headlight watching sick of talking
Shut your mouth and drive
Feels like leaving there ain't no reason
We can't still get high

Roll down the window and lock the door
Don't care if you love me anymore, anymore

Baby just drive
Just drive
Cause baby tonight
I don't wanna fight
I just wanna watch you drive
Watch you drive

Got your girlfriend's letter she ain't no better
But I'm the only woman tonight
And I'm choking on trouble so pass me the bottle
Shut your mouth and drive

Roll down the window and lock the door
Don't care if you love me anymore, anymore

Baby just drive
Just drive
Cause baby tonight
I don't wanna fight
I just wanna watch you drive
Watch you drive

I can keep your secrets and I'll believe your lies
Anything to keep your one more night it's alright

Baby just drive
Just drive
Yeah baby just drive
Just drive, just drive
I don't wanna fight
Cause baby tonight
I just wanna watch you drive
Watch you drive
I just wanna watch you drive

beth hart - everybody is sober

Something's coming in the dead of night
It's got me running at the speed of light
My soul shines like a suicide
Something's coming in the dead of night

Something's rising with the new day's sun
Now everybody's got a holy gun
The devil walks but the angels run
Something's rising with the new day's sun

Everybody's sober, sober
Everybody's sober, sober
Everybody's sober and I'm still high, I'm still high

I belong to everything
City lights and broken dreams
Concrete stars and picture shows
I belong so let me go

Everybody's sober, sober
Everybody's sober, sober
Everybody's sober and I'm still high, I'm still high

Don't tell me that it's over
Don't put your hand on my shoulder
I'm not getting sober I'm getting high

I belong to what I believe in
I'm not dead and I ain't done dreaming
I belong to this world I know
I belong so let me go

Everybody's sober, sober
Everybody's sober, sober
Everybody's sober and I'm still high, I'm still high
High, I'm still high

beth hart - favorite things

Laughin' till it pisses everybody off
Pullin' up my dress at a dinner meeting
Kissin' till my lips are ready to fall off
Screamin' all night then just say I'm singin'
Yeah these are some of my favorite things
Gold butterflies & gum on a string
Yeah these are some of my favorite things
but doin' nothin' is my favorite one
Cashin' in on the glory of my biggest mistakes
fading in the grass basking in the sunlight
Go & say to mama I'll just drive 98
Hold her in my arms tell her I'll be alright
Breath in faith & hope & a big fat cigarette
Drowning in the wine having no regrets
Yeah these are some of my favorite things
Don't ask me why
Gold butterflies & gum on a string
Get me high
Yeah these are some of my favorite things
But doin' nothin' is my favorite one
& It's not the life I thought it would be
But I'll be alright
I know I will be
So long to circumstance
Cashin' in on the glory
of my biggest mistakes
I'm fadin' now at last
baskin' in sweet sunlight
Yeah these are some of my favorite things
Don't ask me why
Gold butterflies & gum on a string
Get me high
Yeah these are some of my favorite things
But loving you son, is my very favorite one

beth hart - get your shit together

Hello again my friend
it's been sometime,
I try and read you
in your shifting eyes
your hands are trembling
as I hold 'em in mine
how ya livin'
You were the talker
& I was the clown
we grew up wonderin'
how we would get out
but you're still talkin' talkin'
You got places to go
you got people to know
you got plans
to get your shit together
Did you take it too far
did you forget who you are
did you stash your soul
into the closet forever
So now you're hustling
for the five & dime
you cure the stranger
& his perverted mind
You are the poet of need
& lust how's the preachin'
You painted destinations
on the inside
& dreamed of revelations
yearning to fly
But you're still walkin'
& still talkin'
Hold on Geany
Watch what ya say
Save your preachin'
for a rainier day
Hold on Geany
I'm talkin' to you
You're so amazing
in whatever you do
