gary clark jr. - bright lights

Wake up in New York City
Lying on the floor
Just outside of Marcy's - West 54 ?wow?
You gonna know my name by the end of the night ?well?
You gonna know my name by the end of the night ?well?
Bright lights, big city going to my head
Bright lights, big city going to my head
Bright lights, big city going to my head
I don?t care no, no
You don?t care
Start up with the bottle
End it up with the bottle
Taking shots, waiting for tomorrow
Trying to fill up, was hollow
You gonna know my name
You gonna know my name
Bright lights, big city going to my head
Bright lights, big city going to my head
Bright lights, big city going to my head
I don?t care no, no
Cause you don?t care
Get lost in this city trying to find myself
I woke up with different versions
Came down somebody else
I know it ain´t right
But its song in my head
Wow I?m surprised
I?m still alive I should breathe in
Bright lights, big city going to my head
Bright lights, big city going to my head
Bright lights, big city going to my head
I don?t care no, no
You don?t care
You gonna know my name
You gonna know my name
You gonna know my name
You gonna know my name by the end of the night, well?

gary clark jr. - blak and blu

When you feelling down and out
When you feelling blak and blue
You should feel like you can come to me
And I'll tell you the truth
It's somewhere we've got twisted
How do we get lifted
How do we not go insane
For so long we've existed
Still we all resisted
Why is it we still remain

Blak and blue
Oh no, don't leave me

It's not you get just what you paid for
Aint't that you reach what you saw
You won't get everything you pray for
Surprises me you don't know by now
I need something to hold on to
while the world is spinning round and round
You could crumble any moment
I keep my feet on solid ground for now

Black and blue
Oh no don't leave me
Hey

Blak and blue mama don't leave me
Blak and blue father dont leave me,
no I won't leave you

gary clark jr. - cold blooded

Woooo She wants me, but she wont give it away
So she taunts me, I'm to cool to break
Cause I gave her my heart and soul, she wants more
She tells me that she loves me
And I cant lie, I want her but I will shoot her down
I'm cold blooded
Got to keep moving, moving on
Its gone too far
Whoa girl, for way way too long
I gave you my heart and soul
What more could you want
I know that you love me
You know that I want you
But I will shoot you down
Is that you outside my home?
Girl you didnt got me terrified
Why dont you leave me alone?
Your craziness is verified
Time to stand it
Please please please please just leave me alone
I dont gain it all
What more what more could you want
I know that you love me
I don't want to but got to shoot you down
I'm cold blooded
I'm tired, I'm tired

gary clark jr. - our love

[Intro]
Oh yeah

[Verse 1]
It's been one of those days
Where things don't go my way
Ooh, and it seems like always
The thing to blame is my ways

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You're the one I'm thinkin' of
The one I'm dreamin' of

[Chorus 1]
You are my lady
I am your man
Some call it crazy, but
They don't understand

[Verse 2]
When I'm gone
Baby, I'm always gone too long
That don't get your mind to wonderin'
If I still care, cause, baby, I still care

[Pre-Chorus 2]
You're the one I'm thinkin' of
The one I'm dreamin' of is you

[Chorus 1]
You are my lady
I am your man
Some call it crazy, but
They don't understand

Our love

gary clark jr. - please come home

[Verse 1]
My love is with you
Even though you're far away
You make me love you
And that's where my love will stay

Those times I get lonely
You're the one who truly knows me
I can tell it in the way you talk
You show me

[Chorus]
Why don't you please come home
Come on home, girl
You've been gone way too long
Come on home, girl

[Verse 2]
As time goes by
My days go by slower
My nights are getting colder
And my mind has gone astray

gary clark jr. - take me down

When this train rolls down the track
I'm not coming back
Gotta one way ticket, I'm going home
Back where I started from

Oh, take me down south
When you take me home, Lord
When you take me home, Lord

The last time I saw you
I meant to say I love you
I've been right and I've been wrong
But I always miss you when I'm gone

Oh, take me down south
Take me down south
Talk when you take [?]
When you take me home, Lord

Oh, take me down south
Take me down south
Take me down south
Take me down south
Lord, when you take me home, yeah
When you take me home, yeah

Wanna be next to my baby, yeah

gary clark jr. - the life

[Chorus]
I can't go on like this
Knowing that I'm just getting by
Can't go on like this
Knowing that I'm just getting high

[Verse 1]
Well, I wake up
Around ten in the morning
Feeling crazy, feeling [on it]
From the night before cause I was up
Till four in the morning plus some
So I take long trip
And then I take out my song scripts
When I sit down to write
I always look to God to help me see the light

But I know, that I ain't even livin' right
And I know, that I can't live by the night
But it's so hard for me just to put it down
So hard for me to pass up the crown
When it's been passed down
I'm sitting on the throne
Sometimes I feel in this world I've just been thrown
Not been showing it, and I don't know
When to slow it down

[Chorus]
I can't go on like this
Knowing that I'm just getting by
Can't go on like this
Knowing that I'm just getting high

But this is the life, life, life, life
The life
This is the life, life, the life, life, the life
This is the life, life, the life, life, the life
They tell me it's the life, life, the life, life, the life

[Verse 2]
Once again, I hit the hot spot with my so-called friends
Then I hit the ATM and then realize I ain't got no ends
Then I call up my kin, hey, my money going
I'm standing at the bar but the drinks quit flowing
Strap for gas sitting on the block
Drunk as hell tryna 'void the damn cops
And this is how it is sometimes when you fall off track
Like when your record's stretched and you try to run it back
But sometimes the stretch got to deep an impact
It makes it so hard for you not to look back
Regretting things you did in the past
I wake up in the morning tell myself it won't last
But I tend to get another glass, then I
Start to act just like an ass, then I

[Chorus]

gary clark jr. - things are changin

[Chorus]
Ooh baby
Things are changing now, and I cant tell
where I'll be from from here on out
ooh its hell
knowing that for now
we shouldn?t kiss and tell
when its, so good

[Verse 1]
You walk up to me like a stranger girl
And I, already know your name
I can make you feel good
If you want yeah, give me the time of day
Wont you listen to me here and now
Cause I'll lay it down simple and plain
Ooh it'd be good to get together girl
But it'll be so hard to maintain
Cause it seems like now

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
I told you already girl
That I, whoa I, was so gone
But that sweet, sweet love
Yeah it had me hanging on
So strong and I
I know now girl
That I, whoa, I can stand alone
I was put here on this earth
By myself, yeah, whoa, I gotta keep moving on
Cause it seems like now

[chorus]

gary clark jr. - travis county

[Verse 1]
Travis County took my picture
But no, I didn't smile
They told me I was gonna be here
For a pretty long while

One day I was walking down the street when
I should've been walking down the hall
Heard a voice calling out, saying,
"Ooh, where you going, y'all?"

Now before I could've gathered my thoughts
I turned around and I saw the cops
I pointed arms up right when
He told me I better stop

[Chorus]
Oooh, oooh

[Verse 2]
They put my hands in cuffs
Oh boy, they even locked me up
When I thought that it was all ?
Till they started taking my stuff

Now I'm sittin' 'round in my cell
Just a looking at the wall
I didn't even get to make
My one phone call

After I was just sittin' 'round
You know I started getting down
When they let me out
All I could do is scream and shout

gary clark jr. - when my train pulls in

Everyday nothing seems to change.
Everywhere I go I keep seeing the same old thing & I..
I can't take it no more.
Oh, I would this town but I ain't got no where else to go.
Wake up in the morning, oh, more bad news.
And I.. Sometimes I feel like I was borne to lose and I..
It's driving me out of my mind.
I'll catch the next train & I.. I'll move on down the line.

Whoah I'll be ready now. I'll be ready when my train pulls in.
Whoah I'll be ready now. I'll be ready when my train pulls in.
I know my time ain't long around here.
And I can't live this life again.

Walking down the streets you might run across a smilng face.
But they'll stab you in the back as soon as you turn and walk away
And I.. Oh Lord it's bringing me down.

If things don't change around here, ain't no use in me hanging 'round.

Whoah I'll be ready now. I'll be ready when my train pulls in.
Whoah I'll be ready now. I'll be ready when my train pulls in.
I know my time ain't long around here.
And I can't live this life again.

gary clark jr. - come together

Here come old flat-top, he come grooving up slowly
He got ju-ju eyeballs, he's one holy roller
He got hair down to his knees
Got to be a joker, he just do what he please

He wear no shoeshine, he's got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger, he shoot Coca-Cola
He say, "I know you, you know me"
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Come together, right now
Over me

He roller-coaster, he got early warning
He got muddy water, he one mojo filter
He say, "One and one and one is three"
Got to be good looking 'cause he's so hard to see

Come together, right now
Over me
Come together, right now
Come together, right now
Come together, right now
Over me

gary clark jr. - glitter ain 039 t gold

They told me that I needed some patience
But don't keep me waiting too long
They told me that I needed salvation
But who are we to lean on?

Something's going on here
Something's going wrong
Running out of time here
But I'm still wExplainaiting for something

It doesn't matter how high
As long as you're with me when we fall

We're a step away from breaking down
I need something good

Hey, hey, don't get me jumpin' for nothin'
Hey, hey, don't get me jumpin' for nothin'

[Verse 2]
The light is at the end of the tunnel
Or is it just a runaway train
My daddy told me, "Glitter ain't gold, young boy
So save yourself a whole lot of pain"

gary clark jr. - next door neighbor blues

Got a call from my neighbor this morning
Told me that my baby was gone
Got a call from my neighbor this morning
Told me that my baby was gone

Took the keys to my cadillac
Left my clothes out all alone

Came home last night
With a pistol pointed at my head
Came home last night
With a pistol pointed at my head

Said, "You better fess up, oh boy,
Or I swear I'm gonna shoot you dead

I didn't know something was wrong
Somethin' wrong been going on
I should've known
I didn't know somethin' been going wrong

When my neighbor called, oh yeah
I found out that little girl was staying next door
