You hear the silence clear in the dead of the night
between the wind in the grass below.
And moving just at the edges keeping out of sight
you see the chance for the final blow.

But you're a wild cat baby in the jungle heat
and you don't care who all knows
And if they see it comin' then they're in too deep
They try to run but they're way too slow

Here in the wild baby you're at the top of the chain
they're all livin' in your show
Cause at the end of the day you're gonna deal the pain.
when you show up they're all gonna know.

Get Back the hunt is over
Know that you win again
Nights black but still gets colder
Wildcat's what you became
what you became...

Beneath the wind and the rain you can carry the load
weathered by the nights from before
Suspended here in the hunt walkin' down the road
that no one dares to ever walk anymore.

You're a wildcat baby in the jungle heat
die by the rules that you've always known.
You're a wildcat baby in the jungle heat
die by the rules that you've always known.

You're a Wildcat

Get Back the hunt is over
Know that you win again
Nights black but still gets colder
Wildcat's what you became.

Wildcat

Tiny little boots covered in snow
Apple cider warmin' on the stove
Tinsel twinklin' everywhere
Holly hangin' on the stairs
It must be Christmas Eve
Angels sittin' high upon a tree
Watchin' over presents patiently
Milk and cookies on a plate
Santa Clause is on his way
The kids should be fast asleep
Sleigh bells are ringin' in their heads
Twistin' like little tops in their beds
Tryin' to sleep but it's no use
With hoofs tap tappin' on the roof
Peakin' out the window to see what they can see
It's a candy cane Christmas
Sweet as it can be
The kids will wake up awfully early
'Cause they can't wait to see
If Santa made it so they can say
Look what he brought me
Sleigh bells are ringin' in their heads
Twistin' like little tops in their beds
Tryin' to sleep but it's no use
With hoofs tap tappin' on the roof
Peakin' out the window to see what they can see
It's a candy cane Christmas
Sweet as it can be
It's a candy cane Christmas
Sweet as it can be

Candycane Christmas

The snow is fallin' on Christmas Eve
And I'm walkin down familiar streets
Warm food waits for me at home
Right now I'm happy just to feel the snow

But when we get back you'll be there
Smilin' at me from atop the stairs
The lights are glowing all around the place
A loving feeling resting on your face
This is your homemade Christmas
This is your homemade Christmas

Now I know where our home exists
It took awhile but I can admit
Not a place but it's all our own
Anywhere I'm with you, we're not alone

Presents and family are miles away
Along with memories of Christmas days
But we're together and that's all I need
warm on a homemade Christmas Eve...
This is your homemade Christmas
This is your homemade Christmas

All the promises that we have kept
replace the shiny new store bought gifts
The days ahead that we now see
Can't be wrapped under a Christmas tree...

The winter deepens in the frosty days
And glowing fires still keep me amazed
Inside our home's everything we need
When you wake up next to me...
On our homemade Christmas
On our homemade Christmas

Your Homemade Christmas

Hey sister... 
what do you think about the city you miss?
Is it better to just now remember?
Or fade away into a peaceful place

Cause you ain't goin' home... again
you can see the path that lies ahead of you bend...away...into the night
and if you ever find...your way...to the end
then I could finally sleep again.

So come on meet me down by the river... brother and sister
Come and feel the life return to your soul...in the water
and wash away those marks of a sinner...you might
and let them flow on down with the river...tonight.

Hey mother...and father
what do you see upon the road ahead...as your drive?
And have you come now to reconsider?
Or float the same way on to the end?

Cause you ain't comin' home
you can feel the years that lie behind you fade...away...into the night
and if you ever lose yourself...again
then I could finally leave...amen.

2x
So come on meet me down by the river... brother and sister
Come and feel the life return to your soul...in the water
and wash away those marks of a sinner...you might
and let them flow on down with the river...tonight.

So come on meet me down by the river... mother and father
Come and feel the life return to your soul...in the water
and wash away those marks of a sinner...you might
and let them flow on down with the river...tonight. Yea....

Down With The River

Well me and the boys are goin' out on the town
We're meetin' the ladies and we're hangin' around
jump in the car and get to cruisin' it down
to wherever the party is we'll follow the sound

And she keeps me up till morning
just sittin' drinkin' on the floor
when the lights come on and we're leavin'
I'll be runnin' for the door

Leather jackets and a rowdy crew
she had sunglasses and a flower tattoo
the night was callin' and the day was through
We all meet drinkin' to familar tunes

And she's with me in the evening
tryin' to pull me to the floor
when the day comes and I'm leaving
She gets up and locks the door

Chorus
So ratchet up to the same old sound
we're all drivin' through the same old town
You're comin' with us I want you around
Just don't forget me at the party we found

She calls me in the evening
trying to pull me off the floor
but when the boys pull up and I'm leavin'
leave her standin' at my door...

(Jump in the car and get to cruisin it down
we're meetin' the ladies and we're drivin' around
Leather jackets and a rowdy crew
she had sunglasses and a flower tattoo)

Chorus

She finds me in the evening
wanderin' all around the floor 
when the nights done and we're leavin'
she gets me home and through my door

Ratchet Up

On a cool bright evening
in the middle of May
He was sittin' all alone 
just waiting beside the train

And she left one morning
on the northbound line
on the run from what her life became 
and the ones who robbed her blind

But he wasn't waitin' for her
and he couldn't read minds
and she wasn't heading anywhere
in particular that time

And at first they never noticed it
But on the second look they did
and as they talked he took the chance 
to say all the words he'd never said

He said, "I'll take you out tomorrow
it's just a drive away from home.
But if you fall in love with me again
you will never be fine."

She said "she's only flyin solo."
Since he left her all alone
And if she fell in love with him
He could never ask why
He could never ask why
He could never ask why

And at times you feel the world turn
when you stand real still
And you fumble for the words you need
to describe the way it feels

And the way it feels is often the way 
it'll keep you awake at night
If you chase the ghosts that haunt your dreams
then you'll never see the light

Cause the light is right before you
if you care to turn it on
And you could pull back on the darkness
if you can't tell him that he's wrong

And you turn the light and tear the 
ticket up that's in your hand
Walkin' off into the sunset 
in a life that lies ahead

She said she's, "never gonna go home."
and, "let's runaway tonight."
And when she fell in love with him again
he could never ask why

He said "that they could leave tomorrow
to anywhere that they could fly."
And when she fell in love with him before
He didn't need to know why
He didn't need to know why
He didn't need to know why

She said, "don't worry about tomorrow,
it's all the way across the night.
Cause if you fall in love with me again
you will never be fine."

He said that, "I could handle myself,
and don't worry if I'm right,
because I fell in love with you 
the minute you came into my sight."
You came into my sight
You came into my sight

Don't Worry About Tomorrow

So we weren't trying to rip off Julian Lennon's great original.
We were going to cover it properly, but we had a miscommunication as to being an original. Therefore, we are putting this cover tune out as a reprise of the original.
It's a very unique continuation of a classic tune.
We hope you understand and enjoy.


 You never showed up I sat there alone
Never bothered just to pick up the phone
then I saw you with another guy
I thought you had to work till quarter to five...?

(2x) Oooooo it's too late for goodbye
(Don't try to explain it's too late for goodbye)

I started walkin' and I don't know how far
...wanted to drive but I gave you the car
Couldn't afford it but I'd definitely fly
I spent my last dime on a burger and fries

(2x) Ooooo It's too late for goodbye
(I don't really care it's too late for goodbye)

Now I'm free and I'm livin' alone
She took my car and I don't have a phone
I got a job makin' burgers and fries
It's down the street so I don't have to drive

(2x) Ooooo it's too late for goodbye
(now I'm free it's too late for goodbye)

I kept the dog and he still lives with me
he never liked her since 2003
Life's gettin' better and I'm movin' along
I saw her today and I wrote down this song

(2x) Oooooo it's too late for goodbye
(life's getting better it's too late for goodbye)

Ever since you've been leavin me
I've been wanting to cry
Now I know how it feels for you
I've been wantin to die

(2x) But it's much too late for goodbye
(Now I know it's too late for goodbye)

(4x) Ooooo it's too late for goodbye

Too Late For Goodbye (The Reprise)

Baby, here I am
I'm the man on the scene
I can give you what you want
But you got to come home with me
I've got some good old lovin'
And I got some more in store
When I get through throwin' it on you
You gotta come back for more
Boys and things that come by the dozen
That ain't nothin' but drugstore lovin'
Hey little thing, let me light your candle
'Cause, mama, I'm sure hard to handle now, gets around

Action speaks louder than words
And I'm a man of great experience
I know you got another man
But I can love you better than him
Take my hand, don't be afraid
I'm gonna prove every word I say
I'm advertising love for free
So you can place your ad with me
Boys will come along, a dime by the dozen
That ain't nothing but ten cent lovin'
Hey little thing, let me light your candle
'Cause, mama, I'm sure hard to handle now, gets around

Yeah
Hard to handle now
Oh, baby

Baby, here I am
I'm the man on your scene
I can give you what you want
But you gotta come home with me
I've got some good old lovin'
And I got some more in store
When I get through throwin' it on you
You gotta come runnin' back for more
Boys will run along, a dime by the dozen
That ain't nothin' but drugstore lovin'
Hey little thing, let me light your candle
'Cause, mama, I'm sure hard to handle now, gets around

Ya, so hard to handle now

Boys will run along, a dime by the dozen
That ain't nothing but ten cent lovin'
Hey little babe, let me light your candle
'Cause, mama, I'm sure hard to handle now, gets around
Aww
So hard to handle now
Oh, yeah
Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby

I got to have, oh yeah
So hard to handle, now, yeah

Hard To Handle

Original Youtube artist
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-dm1VlZ5_8

Down home diggin' in the dirt
A little hard work never hurt
Barefoot gettin' sunburn
Back where she was raised
Hot hay in a little creek
Copperheads in the summer heat
It's on the color of the Georgia peach
Back where she was raised
Her daddy would always say

Mama won't ya get that fiddle
Come on and burn it to the ground
Play like an old train whistle
The high and lonesome sound
She could play those mountain tunes
Passed down to her like heirlooms
Yawl know whose a little on the guitar and fiddle 
she could turn the green grass blue

Sally gettin' in the cripple creek 
Startin' fires with gasoline
The dog are ugly but that ain't mean
Appalachia way
Rawhide and rocker talk
Make fun of the way we talk
Sunburns ain't never lots
Appalachia way
Gonna make you wanna stay

Mama won't ya get that fiddle
Gonna burn it to the ground
Playin' like an old train whistle
That high and lonesome sound
She could play those mountain tunes
Passed down to her like heirlooms
Yawl know whose in middle of a guitar and fiddle
She could turn the green grass blue
hey!

Turn the green grass blue ya

Mama won't you get that fiddle
Come on and burn it to the ground
Playin' like an old train whistle
Ahh play that lonesome sound
She could play those mountain tunes
Passed down to her like heirlooms
Yawl know whose the middle of a guitar or fiddle
She could turn the green grass blue ya
Mama wants the middle with guitar or fiddle
She could turn the green grass blue
ya!

Turn The Green Grass Blue

Open the door in the mornin'
Just to check out the weather
what should you wear as you're ridin'
alone in your car...

Because if the sun isn't shining
bright in your mirror
that doesn't mean that it won't stop
raining this hard

And it's a 50-50 chance that
it'll come out tomorrow
Cause tomorrow's just a roll of the dice
tonight...

Gettin' home after drivin'
through the city in rush hour
toss the keep on the table
and hang up your coat

And she pulls up just after 
you walk in the house 
How was your day what ya thinking
we should eat tonight?

(x2) And it's a 50-50 chance that
you're gettin' lucky
cause tonight is just a roll of the dice, 

alright...

Now we can breath in together
and exhale slowly
we're gonna go home tomorrow
win or lose

But we both knew that no matter
just keep on fighting
and we pick up each other
when we are down

(x2) And it's a 50 - 50 life that
we are living 
and the only way to get through alive

is fight...

guitar solo

And as we let go of this whole 
idea that we have 
Gettin' ahead of the better
half of the town

We should remember to focus
on what is important
So when you get to the end you
don't have any regrets
