uncle kracker - drift away

DRIFT AWAY

Day after day I'm more confused
But I look for the light through the pourin' rain
You know, that's a game, that I hate to loose
I'm feelin' the strain, ain't it a shame

CHORUS:
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and DRIFT AWAY
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and DRIFT AWAY

Won't you take me away

Beginin' to think, that I'm wastin' time
And I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
I'm countin' on you, you can carry me through

CHORUS

And when my mind is free
You know your melody can move me
And when I'm feelin' blue
The guitars come through to soothe me

Thanks for the joy you've given me
I want you to know I believe in your song
And rhythm, and rhyme, and harmony
You helped me along, you're makin' me strong

COURSE X2

uncle kracker - my girlfriend

Hey mom and dad, I don't know where to start.
I hate to break the news, but I got a broken heart.
That sweet southern belle, that I met in Tennessee
Got a hickey on her neck and it ain't from me.
Seems there's someone special she's been meeting at the gym,
but the crazy thing about it, is that someone's not a him.

[Chorus]
My girlfriend's got a girlfriend now.
It was cool for a minute, now its bringing me down.
People talkin' bout it all over this town.
My girlfriend's got a girlfriend now.

All my friends say, she's just going through a phase
and I believed her when she said I just need a little space
But then I found pictures on her cellular phone,
of them doing things, when I wasn't home
It hit me like a brick, I guess I should have seen the signs
This was more than just a friend and a bottle of wine.

[Chorus]
My girlfriend's got a girlfriend now.
It was cool for a minute, now its bringing me down.
People talkin' bout it all over this town.
My girlfriend's got a girlfriend now.

Yeah mom and dad, really nothing left to say
I'll be sure to keep you posted if she swings it back this way
I guess I'm not as sad as you think I might be
The part that makes me mad is that they didn't invite me.

[Chorus]
My girlfriend's got a girlfriend now.
It was cool for a minute, now its bringing me down.
People talkin' bout it all over this town.
My girlfriend's got a girlfriend now.
My girlfriend's got a girlfriend now.
My girlfriend's got a girlfriend now.

uncle kracker - smile

You're better then the best
I'm lucky just to linger in your light
Cooler then the flip side of my pillow, that's right
Completely unaware
Nothing can compare to where you send me,
Lets me know that it's ok, yeah it's ok
And the moments where my good times start to fade

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed, sing like bird
Dizzy in my head, spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh, you make me smile

Even when you're gone
Somehow you come along
Just like a flower poking through sidewalk crack and just like that
You steal away the rain and just like that

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed, sing like bird
Dizzy in my head, spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh, you make me smile

Don't know how I lived without you
Cuz every time that I get around you
I see the best of me inside your eyes
You make me smile
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild

You make me smile like the sun
Fall out of bed, sing like bird
Dizzy in my head, spin like a record
Crazy on a Sunday night
You make me dance like a fool
Forget how to breathe
Shine like gold, buzz like a bee
Just the thought of you can drive me wild
Ohh, you make me smile

uncle kracker - follow me

You don?t know how you met me
You don?t know why
You can?t turn around and say goodbye
All you know is when I?m with you
I make you free
And swim through your veins like a fish in the sea
I?m singin?

CHORUS

Follow me everything is alright
I?ll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you
Want to leave I can guarantee
You won?t find nobody else like me

I?m not worried bout the ring you wear
Cuz as long as no one knows than nobody can care
You?re feelin? guilty and I?m well aware
But you don?t look ashamed and baby I?m not scared
I?m singin?

Follow me everything is alright
I?ll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you
Want to leave I can guarantee
You won?t find nobody else like me

Won?t give you money
I can?t give you the sky
You're better off if you don?t ask why
I?m not the reason that you go astray and
We?ll be all right if you don?t ask me to stay

Follow me everything is alright
I?ll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you
Want to leave I can guarantee
You won?t find nobody else like me

You don?t know how you met me
You don?t know why
You can?t turn around and say goodbye
All you know is when I?m with you
I make you free
And swim through your veins like a fish in the sea
I?m singin?

Follow me everything is alright
I?ll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you
Want to leave I can guarantee
You won?t find nobody else like me

Follow me everything is alright
I?ll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you
Want to leave I can guarantee
You won?t find nobody else like me

Follow me everything is alright
I?ll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you
Want to leave I can guarantee
You won?t find nobody else like me

uncle kracker - blue skies

Embers in the ashtray
Six-pack down behind my seat
One hand up on the wheel
Eat A Peach playin' on repeat
Got my baby at my side
Her hair whippin' all in the wind
The last time I felt this good
I can't remember when

Listen to the Goodyear's roll
Hummin' through the radio
Let it lighten up your load
Ain't got no place to go
Watching those fence poles fly
As the miles roll by
Nothin' but blue skies
Hangin' over you and I

Ain't lookin' for direction
Don't need it if it don't come free
A billboard says "Trust the Lord"
A piece of country I ain't never seen
Nobody wavin' in the rearview
Just put the pedal to the floor and drive
Don't it feel so good to you?
I feel so alive

Listen to the Goodyear's roll
Hummin' through the radio
Let it lighten up your load
Ain't got no place to go
Watching those fence poles fly
As the miles roll by
Nothin' but blue skies
Hangin' over you and I

Her painted toes on the dash
Her hand on my knee
She ain't looking out the window
Cause she's too busy lookin' at me
Yeah

Listen to the Goodyear's roll
Hummin' through the radio
Let it lighten up your load
Ain't got no place to go
Watching those fence poles fly
As the miles roll by
Nothin' but blue skies
Hangin' over you and I
Nothin' but blue skies
Hangin' over you and I

uncle kracker - heaven

[Kracker]
If Heaven ain't alot like Detroit
I don't wanna go
If Heaven ain't alot like Detroit
I just a soon stay home
If they ain't got no Eight Mile
Like they do up in the D
Just send me to Hell or Salt Lake City
It would be about the same to me
It would be about the same to me

[Paradime]
Detroit city
From Aretha to Aaliyah
To Bob Segar to
Joe Louis n' his arena and now me
Paradime the mic of overachievers
Smokin sewer caps bottom feeders and parking meters
A bunch of bad dudes in the mad brew and tattoos
So think twice before you pass through
Or get clapped through whack crews get hurt
We can take you for a ride (ride)
Or take you for your shirt (shirt)
I did it in the Bronx, I did in in Queens
And you can see me do it, do it, down in New Orleans
Fat backs and greens
I'm the scene of amazement
You'll be picking all your teeth up from the fuckin pavement
Is that Kracker with a C
No Kracker with a K
Kracker mother fucker all God damn day
You could take Gratiot south, but that's a real rough route
You'll get found face down with your pockets hangin out

[Kracker]
If Heaven ain't alot like Detroit
I don't wanna go
If Heaven ain't alot like Detroit
I just a soon stay home
If they ain't got no Eight Mile
Like they do up in the D
Just send me to Hell or Salt Lake City
It would be about the same to me
It would be about the same to me

[Kid Rock]
My name is...
My name is...
I'm going platinum
Back up in the mother fuckin saddle
You wanna battle Kid Rock bitch
Your up shit's creek without a paddle
I'm no tattle because I do not snitch
I lick clits n' drop cock n' twats that spit
I spit like hicks and make hit's for flom
And that's what you call droppin bombs
Got a bullet head dick with a thirty aught six
And from a thousand yards I'll hit ya right in the lips...shit
Motherfucker's wanna talk about shining
Here's four fingers kiss my fuckin diamonds
I keep climbing, but these charts ain't shit
I'm a whinin, linin, rhymin, son of a bitch
I'm the son of shotguns unsung cry
And I'm the only MC that'll never die
Cause if it's real you'll feel it so check for the name
Or look for the dog with the fade in the chain
Yeeeeeeeaaaaaahhhhhh

[Kracker]
If Heaven ain't alot like Detroit
I don't wanna go
If Heaven ain't alot like Detroit
I just a soon stay home
If they ain't got no Eight Mile
Like they do up in the D
Just send me to Hell or Salt Lake City
It would be about the same to me
It would be about the same to me

[Kracker]
Kracker's the name double X in size
And I resid on the side were the sun rise
See I'll never be touched because I'm outta reach
Call me Kracker just be fuckin up spots like bleach
Worst in my division I got bitches on the file
From the Mississippi River on back to Belle Isle
I got style, but it dosn't show
I got more love for Detroit then you'll ever know
I know cats that sling crack and cats that scrap
Cats that bust beer bottles over baseball caps
Cats that get drunk and like to spark up skull cats
They keep sawed off chillin up in the trunks
Whores an 44's, scoops n' blow Faygo bitch
We pound cans of Stroh's
We run the mitten from the river way up to the farms
That's why we get these fuckin D's tattooed on our arms

[Kracker]
If Heaven ain't alot like Detroit
I don't wanna go
If Heaven ain't alot like Detroit
I just a soon stay home
If they ain't got no Eight Mile
Like they do up in the D
Just send me to Hell or Salt Lake City
It would be about the same to me
It would be about the same to me

uncle kracker - what chu lookin at

747 come 11 to bust
Somebody take me home I wanna live in lust
When trust is low and stakes are high
That?s all I ever did in Denver was die
(That?s all I ever did in New York was die,
that?s all I ever did in LA was die)
So put em? up, put em? up to the sky
And wave bye bye to Miss American Pie
Cuz you been tellin? lies, you took it all and abused it
Whatever happened to the feel good music?
Somewhere, somehow, some way somebody pulled the plug
And left me sittin? in a dirty little pub

CHORUS

I gotta tell you baby life?s been good to me
And I know that makes you mad
Cuz that?s something you can?t see
I got everything I ever wanted
And I?ll never give that back
Oh I know you hate that factor
But you ain?t gotta look at me like that
I said you ain?t gotta look at me like that
(What?chu lookin? at?what?chu lookin? at?what?chu lookin? at?
what?chu lookin? at?what?chu lookin? at?)

You run around pullin? stunts like that
See never in my life could I front like that
I ain?t cut like that, I couldn?t run like that
I?m a keep it non fiction and take my hat off (off)
Remember back when things looked grim
I spent a lot of time and money on whims
I remember the crew, remember the good times
Remember the orange and I remember the sunshine
It?s all gone that?s a thing of the past
The fact remains that it moves real fast
So why you sit around hopin? things won't change
I?ll be sittin? pretty singin? Hey Pockey Way!

REPEAT CHORUS

You?ll hear me comin? hummin? songs of redemption?huh
I?ve been oppressed for less than attention
I got your extension but I?ll probably never call
Cuz this time last year you ain?t seen me in your crystal ball
And I?m appaled by the things you?ve done
Left a trail of wrongs and cant account for one
Now you?re done and I?m glad but it?s a shame you?d waste it
You want this so bad you can taste it
Detroit love can you feel that (feel that)
That?s stick an move can you feel that (feel that)
I?m on the rack for the two triple zero
Full failure all American hero

REPEAT CHORUS

uncle kracker - when i close my eyes

Guess I never thought again I'd hear your voice
When you packed your bags and pulled out of Detroit
Yeah the snow falls alone get hard to bear
Knowin' you're down south with sunshine on your hair
Sent a postcard from Graceland when you passed through
Read even though we lost, I still love you
I keep it like a locket on a chain
I tell myself that I've moved on but only half the way

And every time I close my eyes
You're dancin' 'neath the full moonlight
Your faded jeans across the hood
My arms wrapped 'round you tight and good
And I'm wiser than I was that day
Now I'd have some words to say
Ones that just might make you stay with me
That's only when I close my eyes

Latelt I've been talkin' to God again
And a string of things I didn't do back then
No doubt I'm better off havin' had you
Yeah you taught me how to love
Taught me how to lose it too

And every time I close my eyes
You're dancin' 'neath the full moonlight
Your faded jeans across the hood
My arms wrapped 'round you tight and good
And I'm wiser than I was that day
Now I've have some words to say
Ones that just might make you stay with me
That's only when I close my eyes

And every time I close my eyes
You're dancin' 'neath the full moonlight
Your faded jeans across the hood
My arms wrapped 'round you tight and good
And I'm wiser than I was that day
Now I'd have some words to say
The ones that just might make you stay with me
That's only when I close my eyes
When I close my eyes

uncle kracker - keep it comin

I'll keep it, I'll keep it, I'll keep it, I'll keep it...

I'll keep it comin' with the Oooh, Oooh
I'll keep it comin' with the Oooh, Oooh
I'll keep it comin' with the Oooh, Oooh

Ain't it great to be alive
Ain't it great to breathe
Ain't it great to have hit songs hidden up my sleeves
I ain't silly and my songs ain't cute
I don't fly like a bird I just shine for loot...uh!

You can believe I ain't close to done
You talk hits, you've never been close to one
You ain't supposed to run, you can tell them I said that
Quick from the get, you know my hearts where my heads at

I'll keep it comin' with the Oooh, Oooh
I'll keep it comin' with the Oooh, Oooh
I'll keep it comin' with the Oooh, Oooh

I'll keep it, I'll keep it, I'll keep it,..

I'll keep it comin' with the Oooh, Oooh
I'll keep it comin' with the Oooh, Oooh
I'll keep it comin' with the Oooh, Oooh

Spent the last six months sittin' out in the cold
You know I cried for help but I got put on hold
We dropped Doublewide and you thought it would fold
It wasn't lookin' good, but now your uncle went Gold
Sold five hundred thou like PLOW
Pushed one million everybody went HOW?
Now I'm TWO PLUS...sittin' TWO PLUSH
I dare your punk ass to ask me WHAT?
I sold the farm and bought it right back
I was sittin' in the red but now I'm back in the black...uh!
I'm in tact went from broke to plastic
All my hoopties turned into classics

I've outlasted singin' Yes Yes Y'all
Got em' all kinda hopin' I'll return their calls
And just when you thought that there was nothin' to see
You heard me comin' around the corner hummin'..Follow Me
And here I am, I'm live and direct
I'm makin' everybody wonder what I'm gonna do next
I don't flex because that's not my style
I'll be singin' what I'm bringin' baby all the while and I...

I'll keep it comin' with the Oooh, Oooh
I'll keep it comin' with the Oooh, Oooh
I'll keep it comin' with the Oooh, Oooh

I'll keep it, I'll keep it, I'll keep it,..

I'll keep it comin' with the Oooh, Oooh
I'll keep it comin' with the Oooh, Oooh
I'll keep it comin' with the Oooh, Oooh

uncle kracker - i wish i had a dollar

[Chorus]

I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me
Everything's gonna be alright
I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me
Everything's gonna be alright

I've been lost in Boston, Austin Texas is always sweet
I stumbled around that Texas town but I never left Sixth Street
You know it's always hard to keep my feet from tryin' to run away
And it seems I spent a lifetime tryin' to make everything ok

I wanna go down to see her
She's my little queen
I wanna go down to tell her
She means the world to me
I wish I was down to watch her
Play that tambourine
She always brought a smile to me
I'd do anything

I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me
Everything's gonna be alright

I wish sometimes that I could say she never told me so
And I'd walk a million miles on down the same old broken road
Now you can always reap just what you sew I know that's true
And I pray some day that I wake and my poor feet won't fit these shoes

I wanna go down to see her
She's my little queen
I wanna go down to tell her
She means the world to me
I wish I was down to watch her
Play that tambourine
She always brought a smile to me
I'd do anything

I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me
Everything's gonna be alright

If I listened closely I can hear it oh so clear
Like a south bound train like fallin' rain like a whisper in my ear
Everything I'd like to hear you know I don't hear much no more
But I know someday that you'll come my way and you'll walk right thru that door

I wanna go down to see her
She's my little queen
I wanna go down to tell her
She means the world to me
I wish I was down to watch her
Play that tambourine
She always brought a smile to me
I'd do anything

I wish I had a dollar for all the times somebody told me
Everything's gonna be alright

[REPETE]

uncle kracker - you cant take me home

uncle kracker - memphis soul song

Lookin' back on everything
And all the things that stay
I can count on memories
Cuz they don't go away
Good times were hard to hold
Until she came along
She moves me like a Memphis soul song

I'm not always there I know
But she don't mind at all
As pretty as a picture that hangs on my own wall
She's like Mississippi

When the sun comes up at dawn
She moves me like a Memphis soul song

With an angel on my lefty side and the devil on my right
She's the one who saves me from them dark unholy nights
Of all the ones who've left me it's a wonder she's not gone
She moves me like a Memphis soul song
She moves me like a Memphis soul song

She don't care what the game is
She's always down to play
My world without her seems a million miles away
She don't have to worry
I know where I belong
She moves me like a Memphis soul song

I've been dealt some aces
And I've played them all the same
But she's the only one that keeps me in the game
No fame or fortune could ever keep me gone
She moves me like a Memphis soul song

With an angel on my lefty side and the devil on my right
She's the one who saves me from them dark unholy nights
Of all the ones who've left me it's a wonder she's not gone
She moves me like a Memphis soul song
She moves me like a Memphis soul song

[BRIDGE]
There's a magic down in Memphis
That never seems to fade
Even now them voices carry
Like a lonely serenade
It's the memories that still and always will be on my mind
They move me every time

She see's the good in everything there is to see
Sometimes I wonder what she ever see's in me
I'm not always right you know
But she's never led me wrong
She moves me like a Memphis soul song

In all my travels I've never found a way
To find the words that say the things I'd like to say
I've sang some melodies but she's my favorite one
She moves me like a Memphis soul song
With an angel on my lefty side and the devil on my right

She's the one who saves me from them dark unholy nights
Of all the ones who've left me it's a wonder she's not gone
She moves me like a Memphis soul song
She moves me like a Memphis soul song

uncle kracker - no stranger to shame

[CHORUS]
I'm no stranger to shame
I've got little to blame
You sent for me and so I came
I'll come runnin' when you call my name
Cuz I'm no stranger, I'm no stranger to shame
I said I'm no stranger, I'm no stranger to shame

I might stagger and I might sway
I might stutter just a bit but that's ok
I'm not walkin' too good that's true
I got a broke ass limp that'll pull me though
I might appear to be a pile of rags
But I'm a stack of hundreds in a paper bag
I've been around this world and back
I made a million bucks and put it all on black

So if you see me stumble you don't have to look away
It's not the first time, not the last
You can leave me where I lay, because
So if you see me stumble you don't have to look away
It's not the first time, not the last
You can leave me where I lay, because

[REPEAT CHORUS]

I've been known to wake up in some dirty places
The sun only shines on deserving faces
The mind erases, forgets the stars
See each and every city has corner bar
That's where I am in a world so grim
The lights are as bright as the day is dim
See I'm priceless in a class of my own
I used to stay out late but now I don't go home

So if you see me stumble you don't have to look away
It's not the first time, not the last
You can leave me where I lay, because

How do you feel when the birds are chirpin'
When your in bed and everybody is workin'
Are you down with the non believers
Make the slackers look like over achievers
The dogs scratchin' on the door again
The cat's out but he don't wanna come in
You got a bed and you got a floor
But the couch is closer to your front door

So if you see me stumble you don't have to look away
It's not the first time, not the last
You can leave me where I lay, because

[REPETE CHORUS]

uncle kracker - i hate california

She's probably in a Bentley
showing off her new fake boobies
tryin' to break into the movies
with some producer
who seduced her
with some sushi and cologne

She's probably down on Sunset
doin' all the things that she ain't done yet
with some actor she calls Hector
man I wish he meet Phil Spector
and he'd ask to take her home

She's lovin' Californ-i-a
she loves the beach
she loves to party everyday
Pina Coladas on the sidewalk in L.A.
ever since she went away
I hate California

Maybe she's livin' in a commune
dancin' with Hippies under the moon
it's all free love, weed and patchouli
and there's a guru named Visuli
and he's doin' her for sure

Maybe she's scummin' some big rap star
drinkin' pink Cosmos at the Sky Bar
those Hollyweirdos with their tofu, avocado
I bet she think she won the lotto good for her

She's lovin' Californ-i-a
she loves the beach
she loves to party everyday
Pina Coladas on the sidewalk in L.A.
ever since she went away
I hate California

I think I seen her on TV
last night on TMZ
with the pretty people on parade
she's sellin' Scientology with John, Tommy and Katie
man I guess she's really got it made

She's lovin' Californ-i-a
that string bikini and the sunshine on her face

She's lovin' Californ-i-a
she loves the beach
she loves to party everyday
Pina Coladas on the sidewalk in L.A.
ever since she went away
I hate California
