MUST BE OVER YOU Writer: John Martin



[Verse1] 

Hey I was driving home, from a friends house one night

When I was passed while stopped, at a four way stop sign

This guy was flying, when he passed me, he must have been doing seventy three, one little mis hap and he could have killed meeeee


[Chorus1]

I should have just drove on home

I still would have my dignity, and my left shoe on

I lost my mind, I offerd him some of my frys and then my orange drink was gone...


I should have just gone home

It would have been alright, I'd still have my right ear and I would hear y'all tonight.


[Verse2]

so I got really angry, and followed him down the street he wasn't gonna go home without hearing from me

ya I got really angry, and at the first stop light

I  pulled in front of him, and after that nothing went right.


he knocked me down, in the middle of the street, he ran back to his car and then he beat feet.


[Chorus2]

I should have just drove on home

I still would have my dignity and my left shoe on

I lost my mind, I offerd him some of my frys and then my orange drink was gone


I should have just gone home

It would have been alright, I'd still have my right ear and I would hear y'all tonight


[outro]

I should have just gone home, things would be alright I wouldn't feel all beat up laying in my bed...

I should have kept driving, I could have slept peacefully, but I had to let my freaking mouth get the best of me

I should have kept driving...

Ei, aonde você vai?
Ei, fica um pouco mais
Olha, acho que foi demais
Olha, que falta você faz

Ei, queria te encontrar
Ei, acho que não vai dar
Olha, sei que eu errei
Olha, juro que eu tentei

Ponte
Por que você não fica aqui?
Por que você não sai de mim?
Por que não tenta outra vez? 
Por que não diz talvez?

Refrão
Tantas vezes me enganei
Dessa vez eu acertei
Eu só queria ter você
Mais uma vez

Ei, ainda penso em nós
Ei, será que você também?
Olha, teu cheiro não sai de mim
Olha, eu sou assim

Ei, o silêncio fala por nós
Ei, será que é o fim?
Olha, o tempo vai passar
Olha, mas você vai estar em mim

Ponte
Por que você não fica aqui?
Por que você não sai de mim?
Por que não tenta outra vez? 
Por que não diz talvez?

Refrão
Tantas vezes me enganei
Dessa vez eu acertei
Eu só queria ter você
Mais uma vez

Things that You Lose (when you drink & use) 

True story of a huge loss due to my addiction. Five years of worrying, tracking me down in dangerous Hoods, visiting me in jail and putting $ on my books, allowing me to live with her when I had nowhere to go..It's the same woman in the song, "It's Amazing to Me." She married a great guy who had years clean & sober. 

[Verse 1]
I got the invite, I didn't want to see
You're getting married, it's not me
Our time it passed like a ship in the night
All wrong 'cause I just couldn't get right

[Chorus]
There's things that you lose when you drink and you use
When your lover's some dope and a bottle of booze
Life goes on even when I'm gone
People won't wait for me to choose

[Verse 2]
Got to the church, took a seat in the back
You made your entrance, felt my heart crack
So much love as you both set your vows
I ducked down low to wipe the sweat from my brow

[Chorus]
There's things that you lose when you drink and you use
When your lover's some dope and a bottle of booze
Life goes on even when I'm gone
People won't wait for me to choose

[Verse 3]
He ringed your finger, time to kiss the bride
I think I cried before I died
The preacher said you're now man and wife
I wonder how things went so wrong in my life

[Chorus]
There's things that you lose when you drink and you use
When your lover's some dope and a bottle of booze
Life goes on even when I'm gone
People won't wait for me to choose

[Verse 4]
You know I'm happy for you on your big day
You both look so happy, nice to see you that way
But I'm feeling kind of crappy, I hope you don't mind
But I really just can't stay

[Verse 5]
Some things are lost and they can't be replaced
The price to pay for all those things that I've chased

[Chorus]
There's things that you lose when you drink and you use
When your lover's some dope and a bottle of booze
Life goes on even when I'm gone
People won't wait for me to choose
Life goes on even when I'm gone
People won't wait for me to choose

Jones
come, city slickers, never swung no axe
listen to the glory of my lumberjacks
they do much more than cut trees down
risked our lives to save a tiny town

All
hey hi ho! look out below
twenty tons of timber heading down your way
hey hi ho! look at it go
that oughta do you till judgement day

Jones
log jams never ever took to river hogs
put many brave men in a grave of logs
i said, “we”ll never crack this on playing by the book
so i brought in a dancer and my cabin cook

All
hey hi ho! look out below
twenty tons of timber heading down your way
hey hi ho! look at it go
that oughta do you till judgement day

Madeleine 
when brute force failed, they asked me, “ma’am
“how would a woman break this log jam
i said, “men, it’s clear to me what you gotta do
find a force much mightier than all of you

All
hey hi ho! look out below
twenty tons of timber heading down your way
hey hi ho! look at it go
that oughta do you till judgement day

Leslie
Gooseneck River used to brooked no jams
till they choked it off with the Gooseneck dam
dynamite the dam and make mighty tide
send down a surge a water for the logs to ride

All
hey hi ho! look out below
twenty tons of timber heading down your way
hey hi ho! look at it go
that oughta do you till judgement day
