Just Couldn't Wait

I miss her face, but the girl left seven years ago.
Guess I never should've let her go.
That's how I feel because I love her so.
But I'm afraid that she will never know.

She just couldn't wait, she said she couldn't wait 'til "some day."
She just couldn't wait, my baby just couldn't wait, no.
She said she couldn't wait 'til "some day," 'til "some day."

Oh, tell me now, where do the broken-hearted go from here.
You missed her love and now you're steering clear.
I ain't afraid of nothin' but my fear.
The fear that she might see this rollin' tear.

She just couldn't wait, she said she couldn't wait 'til Sunday.
She just couldn't wait, my baby just couldn't wait, no.
She just couldn't wait, my baby just couldn't wait, no.

Oh she couldn't wait 'til Sunday no, 'til Sunday.
She just couldn't wait, my baby just couldn't wait, no.
She said she couldn't wait 'til Sunday.
She just couldn't wait, my baby just couldn't wait, no.
She said she just couldn't wait.
You know she just couldn't wait, no.
She said she couldn't wait 'til Sunday, 'til Sunday.
Oh, Oh...

Pass It Around

I wish I had a place to stay in L.A. for a week or so.
I feel like bein' jive, hangin' out, maybe go to Mexico.
'Cause dreamin', baby, that's the way I wanna' be.
Just wanna' sit in a tree, sail out to sea, live like some fantasy, ahh baby.

'Cause I'm tired of thinkin', and too much drinkin', all my troubles away.
Tired of goin' to get layed at the lost and found.
Tired of dealin' with love hurt feelings, and all I got to say,
In view of all that's been goin' down,
I think I'll go on out and pass it around.

I wonder why I'm doin', what I've been doin' for a while.
Can't say it's the money, no, so maybe it's the style.
'Cause dreamin', baby, that's the way that I like it.
Just wanna' get on a plane, go some place insane, throw myself one real good fit.

'Cause I'm tired of thinkin', and too much drinkin', all my troubles away.
Tired of goin' to get layed at the lost and found.
Tired of dealin' with love hurt feelings, and all I got to say,
In view of all that's been goin' down,
I think I'll go on out and pass it around.

I think I'll go on out and pass it around.
Listen to me baby.
Pass it around.
I think I'll go on out and pass it around.
I want to pass it around.
I want to get on out and pass it around.
I want to pass it around.

'Cause I'm tired of thinkin', and too much drinkin', all my troubles away.
I want to pass it around.
Tired of goin' to get layed at the lost and found.
I think I'll go on out and pass it around.
Tired of dealin' with love hurt feelings, and all I got to say,

Don't Let 'em Take Your Gun

Ohhh, people why don't you come in here and let me talk to you a while.
That's right, step right up and listen to a concerned citizen speak his piece.

I'll tell you a little something that my daddy told to me.
My basic fundamentals if you want to be free.
'Cause son, there's somthing wrong internally.
So, if you want your freedom son.
Don't want your country to be overrun.
You got to keep America number one.

(CHORUS)
My daddy told me "Son, don't let 'em take your gun.
That's what they tryin' to do.
Son, don't let 'em take your gun.
They're takin' your Bill of Rights away from you."
My daddy said "Son, don't let 'em take your gun.
That's what they tryin' to do.
Son, don't let 'em take your gun.
Don't let 'em take your gun away from you."

Ohhh, this year is our anniversary.
Two hundred years, people we've been free.
Won't be nobody takin' over our land.
If everybody's brother's got a gun in his hand.
I'm tellin' you we learned to fight for justice.
We're willing to die for freedom.
Hand in hand.
You got to understand.
We are American men.

Said they want your gun.
Said they want your gun.
Send 'em on the run.
Send 'em on the run.
Hip-hurray for fun.
Hip-hurray for fun.
If they do we're done.
If they do we're done.

(CHORUS)

Crossfire

You win or lose a penny.
What does it matter any.
We all are gamblers just by livin'.

You hold a hopeless token.
Even though your heart is broken.
'Cause you've nothin' left for the love you're givin'.

(CHORUS)
Caught in the crossfire.
Caught in the crossfire ... of love.
Caught in the crossfire.
Caught in the crossfire ... of love.

Caught in the crossfire.
Caught in the crossfire.

You played your hand at poker.
But do you understand this joker.
Who shot down all your hopes and dreams.

Why do they always hurt you.
You think they won't but you know they're sure to.
Can't trust a soul no more it seems.

(CHORUS)

Caught in the crossfire.
Caught in the crossfire.

You caught your love red handed.
Been stuck up like a bandit.
Crossfire.

Low down dirty underhanded.
Just ain't right can't understand it.
Crossfire.

(CHORUS)

Caught in the crossfire.
Caught in the crossfire.
Caught in the crossfire.

Goin' For The Pastor

I've been in love for a short time.
I had a little trouble makin' up my mind.
Somthin' got in my way, babe.

Hot enough to hit the spot that makes you trot.
But, girl I ain't no liar.
Gonna' set your little heart on fire. Yeah.

I've had my hit and miss, girl.
I'm ready now to settle right down to this.
I hope that your love is true, babe.
As true as the love I hold for you.
There's one thing that I'd say, girl.
I love you for ever and a day.
Now, girl I ain't no liar.
I'm gonna' set your little heart on fire. Yeah.

For cuttin' loose that bloodthirsty Dave the knave.
Now Davey, his love was strong, babe.
But, you're better off with a love that's long.
You never have to be alone, girl.
'Cause I'll be there when you come back home.
Now, girl I ain't no liar.
