Big Small Town

Contrary to popular belief
I can see you're not making much in here
And mostly in your smile was relief
to see some somebody you used to know.
Well, used to know.
You're playing good, well I guess that's all you've got.
There's a toughness in your voice and eyes that's new.
While the clothes that you're wearing are not.
And I can see now that even I judged you.
It's a small, small town wherever you go.
It's a small, small town wherever you go.
You've come so far in this great big small town.
So where do you go now you've got to here?
You've spent years of building up
and a little tearing down.
Word still gets around,
but it's further from the truth.
And I hear people you've never met talking about you.
It's a small, small town wherever you go.
It's a small, small town wherever you go.
You've come so far in this great big small town.
Well I would have reached out
But I thought you were already there.
Everybody said you had it made
I guess nobody really cared.
Word still gets around
but it's further from the truth
And you don't have to grow very much
to be too big for your boots.
In this small, small town wherever you go.
It's a small, small town wherever you go.
You've come so far in this great big small town.

Do That For You

Do you remember how you said
you'd take me far away?
About as far as your eyes are now.
I just paid $20 for a taxi to your door
Seems like such a price to pay somehow.
And what did I want to do that for?
When you get that feeling
that wraps around your heart
trapped there in that chair all full of doubt.
I want to grab you by the hand
that's pushing me away
shake you up and drags you inside out.
And what did I want to do that for?
Well you know I want to do that
Do that for you
Don't act surprised - you knew I'd come
and bring my doctor's bag
stocked with everything in case you bite
I do agree you don't look good
and you just ain't no fun.
But you're just the nightmare
I feel like tonight.
And what did I want to do that for?
Well you know I want to do that
Do that for you

Turn The Table

It's not like you've done anything wrong
At least not today - I call that
the calm between the storms.
So I'm gonna go
like you're always telling me to.
And though it looks like it's out of the blue
and I'm taking advantage of you.
Well you know that it's just not true
(well I know it)
And there's nothing left to do.
Or I'd do it.
You can turn the table upside down
You can throw me to the ground
You can try and turn my heart around.
And you can drink ‘til you just can't see
Any of the good or any of the bad in me.
You haven't changed
since I met you first.
It's always the best from you
followed soon by the worst.
And maybe I've changed
but is that such a crime?
Maybe this fool for love
learned some sense this time.
Well you know what I say is true
(well I know it)
And there's nothing left to do.
Or I'd do it.
You can turn the table upside down
You can throw me to the ground
You can try and turn my heart around.
And you can drink ‘til you just can't see
Any of the good or any of the bad in me.

As Far As A Life Goes

Had an easy life as far as a life goes
Nobody gets out uncut
Nobody gets out alive
Finding out all about
what nobody tells you
And wondering why after all this time
I just don't get wise
But when I met you
you pushed the questions aside
And made me feel
that they'd be answered in time
But now that there's
a ltttle distance between us
I can feel those old demons
dropping by
Got into some trouble
from keeping my mouth closed.
Got into some trouble
for opening it at the wrong time
Held on too tightly
to some things I should let go
And didn't grab the opportunity
when it was right there and mine
But when I met you
you pushed the darkness aside
and made me feel
I'd got the balance all wrong
But now that there's
a ltttle distance between us
I can feel those old demons
coming back to call
And I can close the door
kill the light, shut eyes tight
But I can't rest my soul tonight.
Sometimes when I'm running
I go by the old place
Everything's the sweet old same
But somehow strangely small
To your old friends and family
You never get older
You're pigeonholed for life
You know
you never really change at all.
But when I met you
You know you made me feel
just the way I really wanted to feel
But now that familiar is wearing thin
I can feel those old demons
You know the y're moving right on in.
And I can close the door
kill the light, shut eyes tight
But I can't rest my soul tonight.
