Full-Time Blues

©2012 Alan D. David, BMI / Diana Bowers, BMI

(v)
Why must I love you, why can't I say goodbye
Every time I try to leave, I can't and I don't know why
My mind tells me it's time to go, but my heart just won't comply
This constant war torments me, every day I live a lie

CHORUS
A tangled web of heartache, a case of full-time blues
No color in my rainbows, just the darkest hues
I know I ought to move along, I'm reading all the clues
But here I sit with the full-time blues

INSTRUMENTAL BREAK

(v2)
I pack my suitcase, every morning in my mind
Thinking how I'll say goodbye, and leave you here behind
But when it's time to play my part, no courage can I find
I always end up speechless, and my memory goes full blind

CHORUS
A tangled web of heartache, a case of full-time blues
No color in my rainbows, just the darkest hues
I know I ought to move along, I'm reading all the clues
But here I sit with the full-time blues

(v3)
I guess I'll always, be here by your side
Smiling on the outside, but crying deep inside
I'll learn to live with, these feelings I must hide
My head no longer matters, it's my heart I must abide

CHORUS
A tangled web of heartache, a case of full-time blues
No color in my rainbows, just the darkest hues
I know I ought to move along, I'm reading all the clues
But here I sit with the full-time blues

The nearly 100 year old Bessie Smith song Backwater Blues(public domain) is about a 1926 flood that occurred in Nashville, Tenn. We tweaked the lyric and chord progression a bit. 

It rained five days and the sky turned dark as night
I watched the river rise while the sky turned dark as night
Now backwater in the lowlands is an awful sight

Then came thunder and the wind began to blow
Lightnin’ flashed and the wind began to blow
There's thousands of people, ain't got a place to go

Sittin’ on my roof I spotted a boat on the backwater
I hollered at them and they came for me through the backwater
I jumped in their boat and it seemed like we rowed forever

Next day I climbed up a high, sandy bank
Sunny blue skies,  birds singing  while I stood on that bank
When I looked over at my house my heart sank

No, no,  I can't move any more
All our homes, all that water
The backwater left me no place to go

Backwater

Learning How To Love Me
(May 7/Week 44)
CAPO 5 F, C, Am, G
5.13.23

VERSE
every day i get to decide
the clothes on my body
and the words inside my mind 

when did i start telling myself lies 
of all the things to think 
why am i unkind 

PRE
push and fight
strike a match to burn out every time 
i know i’m not far behind
but my mind tells me otherwise 

CHORUS 
yeah i’m learning to love me
learning how to talk 
like i’m my best friend
calling when she’s lost 

i’m learning how to listen (soften)
when shes being hard 
saying all the things
that i knows shes not 

yeah i’m learning how to 
love love me
learning how to
love love me

VERSE
i’m standing tall 
i’m standing up high 
watching my thoughts like clouds in the sky 
and i know that it gets cold when the suns gone 
but i can always dance and let the storm rage on 

CHORUS 
yeah i’m learning to love me
learning how to talk 
like i’m my best friend
calling when she’s lost 

i’m learning how to listen (soften)
when shes being hard 
saying all the things
that i knows shes not

and i’m learning all her triggers
all the ways she copes
when she’s in the dark 
picking up her phone 

and when it gets hard
to like what i see
i remind myself 
i’m just learning
yeah learning how to 

yeah i’m learning how to 
love love me
learning how to
love love me



to face herself 

 but my mind likes to tell me otherwise

learning how to love me

Livin’ The Lake Life          Writer: Jim Groves


(V1) Throwed out more hooks 
Than anyone in Nashville ever wrote
On a lake that shines like glass
In an old bass boat that barely floats
When that bobber hits the water
I’ll have a cold beer in my hand
All covered up with Banana Boat
Cooler full of day drinkin’ plans

(C1) I could spend my life out on a lake
Where it’s just me and some fish
Gettin’ higher than any bird can fly
Buzzin’ like the bees…
Watch a tequila sunrise, warm that southern breeze
Just me in a boat
Feelin’ alright, hmm mm
Livin’ the lake life

(V2) I’ve drank so much beer out here
I could make this old boat float
My cure for sick of workin’
Is the lake beer antidote

(Pre) Day drinkin’, my 8 hours away
Hell yeah man,
Life is good…

(C2) I could spend my life out on a lake
Where it’s just me and some fish
Getting’ higher than any bird can fly
Buzzin’ like the bees…
Watch a tequila sunrise, warm that southern breeze
Just me in a boat
Feelin’ all right 
Livin’ the lake life
Yeah just livin’…

(Br) When they reach down to take my soul
I’m gonna bring this old bass boat
Drink a beer with some ol’ lost friends, 
in our new fav’rite fishin’ hole 
mm hmm, Until then…

(C3) I’m gonna spend my life out on a lake 
Where it’s just me and some fish
Gettin’ higher than any bird can fly
Buzzin’ like the bees…
Watch a tequila sunrise, warm that southern breeze
Yeah, just me in a boat
Feelin’ all right
Keepin’ my cooler full of ice-cold Miller Lite
livin’ the lake life
yeah man I’m just livin’ the lake life 
Just livin’…
Livin’ the lake life

Ever wondered what a Joni Mitchell song would sound like if sung by Michael McDonald? Or Ariana Grande?

Lyrics:
I told you once
You told me twice
But I never want to see you
Until you've paid the price

I make you cry
You make me mad
I've never seen you happy and you've never seen me sad

You try everything
Don't cry if I don't wanna sing
Make up a reason to live
Break up when there's nothing to give

I never knew
The work it needs
An endless burning candle
That constantly just feeds

A single step
Is all it takes
But how much longer lasting
When we're waiting for the breaks

You try everything
Don't cry if I don't wanna sing
Make up a reason to live
Break up when there's nothing to give

You try everything
Don't cry if I don't wanna sing
Make up a reason to live
Break up when there's nothing to give
