Another Minute With You
Words and music written and performed by

I was playin' guitar in this small town bar,
It was a little spot out on the keys.
You gave me a wink so I bought you a drink.
I kind of felt weak in the knees.
You leaned in near and you spoke in my ear,
And asked me, "What do you wanna do?"
I said, "Let's hop in my Toyota and go to Sarasota, 
So I can spend some time with you."

Well we talked for hours then I bought you some flowers,
From this little place down by the beach.
You gave me a smirk and you called me a jerk.
You screamed at me and started to shriek.
You wanted rosies, instead I got posies.
You said they're cheap and not very chic.
You said, "If you want my honey you got to have some money,
If you wanna spend some time with me."

Well, there was a time when I thought you'd be mine,
But that was just a moment or two.
You came along and done me wrong.
Now I'm feelin' lonely and blue.
There was a time in my life when I wanted a wife,
But now I'd say that's no longer true.

If love was like money I'd be flat broke if I spend another minute with you.

I sat down to drinkin', tryin' to do some thinkin, 
Listenin' to some old country song.
Maybe it was Willie.  Maybe it was Waylon.
I wasn't payin' attention at all.
You sat down so I bought you a round.
It wasn't but a minute or two.
You threw your beer in my lap, 
Then you gave me a slap and said, "What the hell is wrong with you?"

So I sat there drippin', just kept sippin',
On the beer that I held in my hand.
It seemed so absurd, I didn't speak a word.
It didn't work out like I had planned.
You were glarin' at me, and I was starin' at you,
When you screamed, "What are you gonna do?!"
So, I jumped back in my Toyota,
Left you in Sarasota without another word to you.

Well, there was a time when I thought you'd be mine,
But that was just a moment or two.
You came along and done me wrong.
Made me feel lonely and blue.
There was a time in my life when I wanted a wife,
But now I'd say that's no longer true.

If love was like money I'd be flat broke if I spend another minute with you.

Well, there was a time when I thought you'd be mine,
But that was just a moment or two.
You came along and done me wrong.
Made me feel lonely and blue.
There was a time in my life when I wanted a wife,
But now I'd say that's no longer true.

If love was like money I'd be flat broke if I spend another minute with you.

If love was like money I'd be flat broke if I spend another minute with you.

I said if love was like money I'd be flat broke if I spend another minute with you!

I
Words and music written and performed by

I, Don't understand why it had to come undone.
I, Still believe we can catch the setting sun.
I, See things now that I haven't seen before, 
But I, feel like we can't go on anymore.

Is time on the blink?
Can I go back now and say something else?
It's your time to think.
Will it change the road that we go down from here?
What's the missing link?
One more chance won't change what's true to false.
It's a sweeter drink, but the taste won't make the bitter disappear.

I, slowly feel my senses growing dull.
I, still need time to empty out my skull.
I, wonder if the pain is really real, 
Or have I, grown accustomed to the way it feels?

Is time on the blink?
Can I go back now and say something else?
It's your time to think.
Will it change the road that we go down from here?
What's the missing link?
One more chance won't change what's true to false.
It's a sweeter drink, but the taste won't make the bitter disappear.

I, Don't understand why it had to come undone.
I, Still believe we can catch the setting sun.
I...
I...

Lyrics
Back Street Blues
Words and music written and performed by
Chuck Adams

She was sweet sixteen.
A little rock 'n' roll queen.
Yeah, she was sweet sixteen.
Every young boys dream.
She's like a long tall Sally.
Doesn't like to dilly-dally,
If you know what I mean.

You know she met a little boy.
He was her little love toy.
Yeah, she loved that little boy.
He was her one and only joy.
But her daddy was a baddy.
Left him dead in an alley,
It was time for her to go.

She's got the back street blues.
She's got the back street blues.
Wearin' her high heeled shoes.
Her little mini-skirt too.
She's lookin' sweeter than honey,
Got to make a little money.
She's got the back street blues.

You know she met a little boy.
He was her little love toy.
Yeah, she loved that little boy.
He was her one and only joy.
But her daddy was a baddy.
Left him dead in an alley,
Now, it's time for her to go.

She's got the back street blues.
She's got the back street blues.
Wearin' her high heeled shoes.
Her little mini-skirt too.
She's lookin' sweeter than honey,
Got to make a little money.
She's got the back street blues.

She's got the back street blues.
She's got the back street blues.
Wearin' her high heeled shoes.
Her little mini-skirt too.
She's lookin' sweeter than honey,
Got to make a little money.
She's got the back street blues.

Back Street Blues
