There once was a fish swimming so free
Ate all the plankton in the sea
Then came the lizard squirming in the mud
It made its break eating the fish up 
Soon the lizard was food for the bird
But before too long it got its turn
That little fowl ended on my plate
And let me tell you she tasted great 

I'm top of the food chain, no one stronger
Top of the food chain, got a big hunger
Top of the food chain. I’m coming for you

They say animals think just two things 
Can I eat you or will you eat me
But this animal don't think that bunk
I'll take what I want and what I want is lunch
It's a big bad world unless you're me
Let nature take its course and you'll see
I won't stop ‘til I get my fill
Got all of Noah’s Ark sittin’ on my grill

I'm top of the food chain, no one stronger
Top of the food chain, won’t wait any longer…
Top of the food chain. I’m coming for you

I can eat what I want, so gimme some grub
Let's order Taco Bell and Pizza Hut
Pop Tarts, Twinkies, Doritos and beer
I'm the Number One predator with a bowl to clear
Big Macs, Ding Dongs, Cap'n Crunch
Sushi and steak, all-you-can-eat brunch 
I'm the creature that can't be beat
So jump in the pot baby, let’s turn up the heat

I'm top of the food chain, no one stronger
Top of the food chain, you know you’re a goner
Top of the food chain. I’m coming for you

I'm top of the food chain, No one stronger, 
Top of the food chain, got a big hunger, 
Top of the food chain, won’t wait any longer, 
Top of the food chain,  you know you’re a goner
Top of the food chain,  I’m coming for you

ice journey

I’m clearing out the closet  		
Getting rid of your old shoes
I’ve shed the skin that you burned
Taken the bandage off the bruise
I’ll empty out your fishbowl 
Let the cat in the backdoor
I put away the Kleenex
Won’t be cryin’ like before

I’ve had my fill of heartache
I’m finished being sad
I’m getting over lonely
I’m even done with mad
I’ve had enough of bitter
I’m all through with blue
Let me tell you baby
This is the last song I’ll write about you

You used me like a crowbar
You used me like a key  
To pry open a brand new door
Set yourself free
Then you dropped me from your trapeze
You smashed me on the floor
Now I’m pickin’ up the pieces
Won’t be shattered anymore

I’ve had my fill of heartache
I’m finished being sad
I’m getting over lonely
I’m even done with mad
I’ve had enough of bitter
I’m all through with blue
Let me tell you baby
This is the last song I’ll write about you

You were the one I loved the most
But soon you’ll be just a ghost
Cleaned the stains from the wine you drink
Pulled your hair from the drain in the sink
I’ll erase every trace of you
Find me a muse who don't make me blue
You kinda wasted two good years
And I ain’t got time for NO- MORE- TEARS

I tossed your trumpet in the dumpster
Used the last of your shampoo
Deleted your text messages
Dropped your pet snake at the zoo
Pulled your photo from its frame
I Burned your unpaid bills
I’ll sweep away the wreckage
I’m ready to rebuild

I’ve had my fill of heartache
I’m finished being sad
I’m getting over lonely
I’m even done with mad
I’ve had enough of bitter
I’m all through with blue
Let me tell you baby
This is the last song I’ll write about you
I said let me tell you baby
This is the last song I’ll write about you

The Last Song I'll Write About You

Let me tell you ‘bout a girl I know
She satisfied my soul and filled my bowl
She fed my heart, spooned love my way
‘Til the day she took her dish away and she put me on...

A heartbreak diet
Lunch is cheatin’ and dinner lyin’ 
I ain’t eatin’, been busy cryin’
Ohhhhhh yeah… on a heartbreak diet

She used to bring me breakfast in bed
She liked some sausage with her bread
Her dumplings and gravy they were the best 
Then she started feedin' all the rest,  and she put me on 

A heartbreak diet
Lunch is cheatin’ and dinner lyin’ 
I ain’t eatin’, been busy cryin’
Ohhhhhh
	
You know that I used to weigh	
A hundred and eighty eight
Then someone stole her lovin’ from my plate
Now I’m losin’ pounds ev’ryday
On the heartbreak diet

You know my clothes they don’t fit no more
Ain’t been down to the gen’ral store 
The cupboards been empty since the day 
She said I warn’t the only meal on her tray, and she put me on 

Said a heartbreak diet			
A kettle of cheatin’, a pot of lyin’ 
No time for food, too busy cryin’
Ten pounds of tears, but they're not dryin’
The girls they feed me, but I ain't buyin' 
Got nothin’ in my pan a fryin’
Said no-thin’ in my pan a fryin’
Ohhhhhh yeah… on a heartbreak diet
Heartbreak diet
Heartbreak diet
Heartbreak diet
Heartbreak diet

Heartbreak Diet

Silver moon shining down on highway twenty-nine
Got twelve dollars in my pocket headed for the state line
The exits all look the same as they pass by
Like the one where she got off and left me there to cry

I got a half-pint of whiskey and a quarter-tank of gas
While lines in the mirror just can't hide the past
I ain't got no place to go, but I gotta get a start
Only so far you can travel on a full moon and an empty heart

No-Vacancy signs flash into the dark
No space on her pillow, no place for me to park
She took our forever, made it never overnight
Now I'm driving through the desert, looking for the morning light 

I got a half-pint of whiskey and a quarter-tank of gas
White lines in the mirror just can't hide the past
I ain't got no place to go, but I gotta get a start
Only so far you can travel on a full moon and an empty heart

Bourbon from the bottle, a dime bag of weed  
Three slices cold pizza, a coupla hits of speed
When you're on the road alone -- That's all you really need

Every roadhouse bar sings out her song
Every filling station leaves me empty and alone
Every caller on talk radio, I hear her voice 
Every crossroad I pass reminds me of her choice
I taste her in the coffee in the all-night cafe
See her eyes in the headlights comin' the other way
Feel her warmth on the seat snuggled up to me
Roll down the window, I can hear her breathe

I got a half-pint of whiskey and a quarter-tank of gas
White lines in the mirror they can’t hide the past
I ain't got no place to go, but I gotta get a start
Only so far you can travel on a full moon and an empty heart
Only so far you can travel on a full moon 
Only so far you can travel on a full moon and an empty heart
