Blood, Bones & Baltimore
(2010)

1 - Honey Money

Honey honey honey. Honey honey honey.
Honey honey, show me the money
Honey honey never get enough
Well you know that's right, what's true is true,
A lie is a lie when I'm talking to you.
Got the rock'n'roll blues, Paying my dues,
snooze and loose and cry boo-hoos
Grease me down to the bone...
Ain't never gonna get enough...
Well, you know that's right a cat is a cat
a dog sniffs a dog then he jumps on the other's back,
wagging your tail, that never fails
to get me hot right on the spot
And tease me down to the bone.
Ain't never gonna get enough

[Instrumental break]

Well you know that's right what's done is done
the moon croons a tune, then the daughter's a son...

gotta piece of the game someone with your name
A tiger that's tame is a very sad thing...
Please me down to the bone...
Ain't never gonna get enough...
Honey honey honey...

 

2 - Biggest Baddest Heart

I cannot convince you. I'm not gonna try
One thing you are born with is your ability to fly.
I've got something that you might wanna know
I've got the Biggest Baddest Heart of Gold.
So you're in a bad mood are you gonna let it kill the day?
I know you love your drama see the humor make it pay.
I've got something that you might wanna know.
I've got the Biggest Baddest Heart of Gold.
Don't have no Lamborghini to ride you around this earth
Don't have no Masserati to make trails in the dirt
but I got something that you might wanna know...
I've got the Biggest Baddest Heart of Gold.
You like it once you like it twice
you like it naughty baby or you like it nice?
I've got something that you might wanna know
I've got the Biggest Baddest Heart
I've got the biggest baddest heart
I've got the Biggest Baddest Heart of Gold

 

3 - Gimme the Keys

I close my eyes in the kansas sun.
I close my eyes and your face becomes
A place I want to melt into and be from.
Have I seen your face before,
kicking screaming down my door.
You want Love but you need so much more and more
I close my eyes and the world is gone
just like “hide and seek” we're moving on.
In the dark a bird just sings and stares, a song,
a chord, a prayer you're there.
Have I seen your face before,
kicking screaming down my door.
You want Love but you need so much more and more
The girl is on the brink of fear the waves in her glass
the splash of a tear. She's drowning in tequila lies
unzips you then apologizes.
Have I seen your face before,
kicking screaming down my door.
You want Love but you need so much more
and more and more...
Gimme the keys boys. Gimme the keys boys.
Gimme the keys boys. Please.
I'll take her home. I'll take her home.

 

4 - Don't Make Me Wrong

Don't wanna give my heart away
I think about you every day
This Love's more than I can take
Don't wanna give up everything
The wedding bells, the diamond ring
This kind of love you can't fake.
Don't make me wrong for loving you.
I have paid double and triple the price
And I have tried time after time to be kind
But now I know, I just have to let you go
It wouldn't be right to hold onto a lie
Tall as an ant sitting high in the saddle
You did not see me through I was waving back at ya.
Little did I know that you
always had other plans, now I understand.

[Instrumental]

You walk right by and hardly remember my name
That hurts too much to be on fire
and burned by your flame
But you did not notice my pain,
when I dressed in my best dress
Right then and there I knew I failed the love test.
Don't make me wrong for loving you.

 

5 - Pack of Newport

I wanna be your pack of Newport
sitting in your pocket close to your heart.
I wanna be your pack of Newport
above your wallet that's living smart.
You can light me up after breakfast.
You can light me up after lunch
You can light me up after we're making love
or when the meal was just a hunch.
Don't wanna be no wet pack of matches
no discarded lighter, out of butane.
Better treat me like a perfect virgin
who may just someday Cherish your name.
You can light me up after coffee
you can light me up after dark
You can light me up round the neighborhood
like your favorite bar-be-que sauce

[Instrumental]

I wanna be your pack of Newport
so you think about me all night and all day
I wanna be your pack of Newport
so you can never... never get away.
Never get away... Never get away...
Never get away. Never, Never get away.

 

6 - Don't Waste My Crime

Who are you hiding who do you want to be riding
Who are you hiding who do you want to be riding
I will take my sweet long time to kiss perfect lips kissing mine.
Push it to the middle it hurts and it tickles make it count
Don't waste my crime don't waste my crime don't waste my crime.
Your eyes pouring into mine. Don't talk about the twist off wine.
We won't speak till we feel fine. Souls explode when spines collide.
Don't waste my crime... don't waste my crime.
I lean into every word you could speak or could ever be heard
Don't want to miss a single lick of time.
Are you like some Great Escape like when Batman takes off his cape
To prove to me that this could be divine. Don't waste my crime.

[Instrumental]

Got to your room at half past 3 you took a shower, I watched TV
Some black & white with clever lines.

Who knows what will come of this easy slide forbidden tryst.
Now it's done here comes the sun... she's keeping Time.
Don't waste my crime.

 

7 - You Got Me

When all your money's gone and you can't go on
And the one you want... Just ain't free once
And once again you're staring in
the bottle's end please look again
Baby, You Got Me.
You made the same mistake another bad heart break
You thought Love this time would be easy
But once again you're cryin all the time again
stop whining in your beer again
Baby, You Got Me.

[Instrumental]

You Got Me in the morning when you want me
You Got Me thru the night

You Got Me everything's gonna be alright. Alright.
Don't have to work so hard,
turned every trick played every card
Cause Love is a loser's game.
With what's her name the key is in
Recovering, please look again
Baby, You Got Me. You Got Me...

 

8 - Who I Am (say amen)

I never meant for us. I never meant to fall.
I never meant to ask or risk it all
But one look in your eyes makes me believe...
I can touch the stars. I can kiss the moon
with just my voice in perfect tune.
And Mom is it okay if I'm
Yeah Mom is it okay if I'm
Who I am.
Cold December morn, I need a witch's broom.
I move my little heater from room to room.
Like a happy hunter in a sacred prayer,
I taste your perfume nearly everywhere.
And the priest remarks, “What do you believe?”
I'm out of tricks mate nothing up my sleeve.”
And God is it okay if I am
Yeah God is it okay if I am
Who I am.

[Instrumental]

And after we're all, All dead and gone,
Our children will rise and on that morn

the Universe is one, queens equal pawns
And I am proud just to be born.
And Mom say it's okay that I'm
and God make it okay that I'm
and John say it's okay that I'm...
Who I am. Say amen. Say, ah men.

 

9 - Call Me Sonia

call me sonia cause I play the pinkest blues
stoned or sober and it's all because of you
sometimes she makes me so mad
busted a soda can in our kitchen
now I'm sticking to the floor
and that's the reason I am bitchin'
call me crazy cause I play the pinkest blues
I'm sorry if I disappointed you
she'd like to toss me out the door
since I'm the one shakin' up the Coke can
and that's the reason it exploded
after a nine hour lumpy bumpy ride
in the band van
oh and did you like the show tonight
will you be coming back for more
buy every cd I ever made
wear my t-shirt cutting up your wedding cake
stick my bumper sticker on the back of your car
u-tube me a groovy hokie pokie folkie star...
call me sonia cause I play the pinkest blues
(it's purple)
stoned or sober and it's all because of you...
