Bless You (For The Good That's In You) lyrics - Delta Rae

(originally by Peggy Lee)

(from "Gangster Squad" soundtrack)

Bless you, oh... bless you, oh-oh...

Bless you for the good that's in you, bless you every day

There's some good in everybody, we're just made that way

Good morning, oh miserable, you're not as bad as you make out

That frown don't set right, get right up and shout (yes, shout)

Bless you for the good that's in you, bless you every night

If you shine like a love light beacon, you'll make out all right

If any old evil comes around today

Turn it right around and chase it away

Bless you for the good that's in you, bless you every day

Oh, oh... oh, oh-oh... oh, oh-oh...

You know that life is like an old steam engine

You can either go ahead, or in reverse

And the road ahead might look pretty rocky

But the road behind is bound to be worse

If you close your eyes, you won't see the sunshine

If you plug your ears, you won't hear a thing

And if you shut out your heart, you'll shut out the feeling

And there'll never be any reason to sing

(Bless you) yes, bless you (bless you) yes, bless you

Ooh, that frown don't set right, get right up and shout

(Get right up and shout)

Oh, bless you for the good that's in you, bless you every night

If you shine like a love light beacon, you'll make out all right

And if any old evil comes around today

Turn it right around and chase it away

Bless you for the good that's in you, bless you every day

Bless you (oh, bless you); yes, bless you (yes, bless you)

Bless you for the good that's in you, bless you every day

Do You Ever Dream? lyrics - Delta Rae

Do you ever dream?

Do you ever see the future when you look at me?

A little house in the mountains surrounded by the evergreens

A homemade meal and a couple kids

Or is just the moment?

Is it the sex and the comfort and the laughs that keep you coming back?

I hate to ruin the romance baby but I have to ask

Is there something I can't see?

Do you ever dream?

Do you ever dream?

Or do you want to leave this world while you're still young and free?

Live on the edge and leave falling in love to girls like me

And you'd give me just enough

But you never call, you never share

You're never wrong, and it's not fair

I had a vision of who I'd be

And baby I'm not there

Do you ever dream?

Do you ever dream when the nights get lonely?

You're gonna wish that I was there

Do you ever dream how it's gonna hurt baby

When there's nobody that cares

About the stories that you tell?

Do you even get that far?

'Cause I've been living in this moment

And it's all falling apart

Do you ever dream?

Hold on to something you can't see

Give me a reason not to leave

Heart Won't Break lyrics - Delta Rae

I could see it coming a thousand miles away

I keep on running, but this ain't something I'll escape

You're gonna leave me, you say it's better this way

But I know its gonna hit like a hard rain falling on an open field

There ain't no cover, when you say its over you can't tell me how to feel

'Cause my heart won't break the way you want

If you say those words, your work is done

And there's nothing you can do to stop the tears that I will cry

And there's nothing you can say that puts the good in your goodbye

'Cause my heart will never break the way you want

I try to stay distracted, but the days are too long

Baby, were you acting every night when we were alone?

Felt like magic but it was all just a dream

So you try to let me down easy say you wanna stay friends

Well you can turn the pages of my story, babe

But you can't tell me how it ends

'Cause my heart won't break the way you want

If you say those words, your work is done

And there's nothing you can do to stop the tears that I will cry

And there's nothing you can say that puts the good in your goodbye

'Cause my heart will never break the way you want

So if you're reaching out

In a month from now

As I'm starting to mend

And you say you made

Such a big mistake

And "could I take you back again?"

No

'Cause my heart won't break the way you want

If you say those words, your work is done

And there's nothing you can do to stop the tears that I will cry

And there's nothing you can say that puts the good in your goodbye

'Cause my heart will never break the way you want

'Cause my heart won't break the way you want

'Cause my heart won't break the way you want

'Cause my heart won't break the way you want

Hitch A Ride lyrics - Delta Rae

Arms like a scarecrow

Hitchin' for a ride

Skin like a leather tomb

Eyes like kilns in the rivers of dry

Dust under a paper moon

It runs hot in the summer in the Piedmont Plains

Meet the devil in the morning sun

And you take his heat

A hundred hours in the week

Til he lets you see the autumn come

It's enough to drive a young man insane

Make a woman wanna run away

I met Jack McKent

He was a handsome man

Was my ticket to a better place

Where do we go when the sun stays high?

Where do we go when we close our eyes?

Where do we go when we feel this tide?

Where do we go?

Well we hitch a ride

Well Jack and me we never left the heat

Got pregnant in the early spring

But when Jack got mean

He'd raise his hand to me

And I never could predict his swing

And on the hottest night

In the full moon light

He stole the one good thing we'd made

And like a dandelion with the feather's flyin'

The wind pulled my heart away

When do you know to put a sick dog down?

Where do you go when you cross that line?

Ain't no secrets in a southern town

Where do we go?

There are children's bodies buried in the grave

No songs to carry all of my love

And I'll run from the sin, and the love, and the devil

And judgement from the Lord above

And I'll leave my fate in the hands of strangers

Every driver on the great highway

I'm a flair to the night

A black widow spider

Another orphan on the interstate

Where do we go when the sun stays high?

Where do we go when we close our eyes?

Where do we go when we feel this tide?

Where do we go?

Well we hitch a ride!

We're all running from something

(Hitch a ride, go, go hitch a ride)

Leaving someone behind

(Hitch a ride, go, go hitch a ride)

Always another car coming

(Hitch a ride, go, go hitch a ride)

When we hitch a ride

(Hitch a ride, go, go hitch a ride)

We're all picking up strangers

(Hitch a ride, go, go hitch a ride)

Just trust the look in their eye

We don't know we're in danger

When we hitch a ride

(Hitch a ride, go, go)

No Dry Eye In The Chapel lyrics - Delta Rae

Reverend Riley knows he's prone to ramble

Reads the Bible like it's War and Peace

He goes on and on

You can't help but yawn

Even the righteous start to fall asleep

When he's 'bout to lose that front-row faithful

Pulls an ace out of his sleeve

Knows they need a hymn

So he shouts "Amen! Fire up the organ, Irene!"

She starts hammering glory mountain

Until there's no dry eye in the chapel

No one sitting in the pews

Hands up high all clapping

When Mama starts singing Hallelu-

Hallelu-, Hallelu-, yeah!

No dry eye in the chapel

When Mama gets to singing the truth

Now mama's more than just a Sunday singer

She'll play anybody's wedding or wake

Long-shot, shotguns, third-time's-the-charm ones

Everybody's gonna get saved

When they kiss the bride and the [?]

There'll be no dry eye in the chapel

No one sitting in the pews

Hands up high all clapping

When Mama starts singing Hallelu-

Hallelu-, Hallelu-, yeah!

No dry eye in the chapel

When Mama gets to singing the truth

Then late one night the Devil came calling

And Mama waved him right inside

She sang "Great Ball of Fire" like a gospel choir

And the Devil just started to cry

There'll be no dry eye in the chapel

No one sitting in the pews

Hands up high all clapping

When Mama starts singing Hallelu-

Hallelu-, Hallelu-, yeah!

No dry eye in the chapel

When Mama gets to singing the truth

There'll be no dry eye in the chapel

When Mama gets to singing the truth

Come on, Mama!

One Good Cry lyrics - Delta Rae

Gonna light a few candles and put some old records on

Finally open that rainy day bottle of wine

Gonna lose myself dancing 'round to our favorite song

That's my way of saying goodbye

I'm giving you one good cry

That's all you'll get from me

Soon as these tears all dry

Baby my hands are clean

I could go on and on

But you ain't worth my time

I'm giving you one

You only get one good cry

Gonna revel in every regret, every memory

Gonna let you take hold of me one last time

By tomorrow morning, I'll be pouring coffee and you'll just be history

I'll be strong, I'll move on

But tonight

I'm giving you one good cry

That's all you'll get from me

Soon as these tears all dry

Baby my hands are clean

I could go on and on

But you ain't worth my time

I'm giving you one

You only get one good cry

'Cause you'll be long gone

Where you belong

Yeah but right now

All I need

All I need

Is one good cry

That's all you'll get from me

Soon as these tears all dry

Baby my hands are clean

I could go on and on

But you ain't worth my time

I'm giving you one

You only get one good cry

I'm giving you one

You only get one good cry

Stand-Ins lyrics - Carrie Welling & Delta Rae

Better than a dozen roses

More than a couple drinks

On a sunny desert island, baby

You'll be all I need

If another late night caller

Comes knocking on my door

For instant gratification

I won't give it out no more

I used to call them all by name, now I call them

Stand-Ins wasting my time

If I'd of planned it you'd already be mine

So come and claim your ground and save me now

From all of those Stand-Ins wearing me out

One time I thought I found you

Good thing I let him go

Cause you would never treat me badly, baby

When that feeling comes I'll know

And you're the reason why I call them

Stand-Ins wasting my time

If I'd of planned it you'd already be mine

So come and claim your ground and save me now

From all of those Stand-Ins wearing me out

To that High School sweetheart that I first took home

To that New York drummer I should've left alone

That painter, that surfer, that Wall Street banker

To that Jesus lover that called me he's savoir

Well, I call them...

Stand-Ins wasting my time

If I'd of planned it you'd already be mine

So come and claim your ground and save me now

From all of those Stand and Ins

From all of those Stand and Ins

Still Waters lyrics - Delta Rae

Still waters run deep and far love

I dreamt of rivers that carry our spirits

Through nights of starlight

Through days in the desert

Through pain and glory

They're carving our story

Through stampedes on the prairie

To a hush on the ocean

We keep on going

'Cause no one ever really dies

Hey ya

Oh

Hey ya

Oh

Crisp and frozen

Paint peels off the bones of

That kudzu captive

The voices of Baptists

Rung higher than the ceiling

Swung low sweet believing

If one man is risen

Then no one ever really dies

Hey ya

Oh

Hey ya

Oh

Dancing atoms

Break free from the stratum

Of our weak predictions

Big bang contradictions

It's pieced together

Changes with the weather

But we dig forever

'Cause no one ever really dies

Hey ya

Oh

Hey ya

Oh

(Still waters)

Hey ya

No one ever really dies

(Still waters)

Hey ya

No one ever really dies

(Still waters)

Hey ya

'Cause no one ever really dies

Hey ya

'Cause no one ever really dies

Walk With Me lyrics - Delta Rae

Tonight's someone will hurt someone

Forgive, forget, that ain't no fun

Another heart falls off the tree

But freedom's just 'bout breaking free

A gold dust woman read it in my cards

There's a long parade of us with broken hearts

But if you walk with me

Baby, I'll stand by you

If you walk with me

Take my hand, I'll stand by you

Hand in hand, I'll walk with you

We all walk down these streets of pain

Cause we all woe, regrets and shame

The songs we sing just ain't the same

And then our dreams just drift away

A gold dust woman read it in my cards

There's a long parade of us with broken hearts, yeah

But if you walk with me

Baby, I'll stand by you

If you walk with me

Take my hand, I'll stand by you

Hand in hand, I'll walk with you

Oh, oh

Yeah, yeah

It's hard to be brave with all that we go through

But it all rides on whatever road we choose, yeah

And if you walk with me (walk with me)

Baby, I'll stand by you (I'll be right beside you, baby)

If you walk with me (walk with me)

Baby, I'll stand by you

I said, if you walk with me (walk with me)

Baby, I'll stand by you (the road is getting long, yeah)

If you walk with me (walk with me)

Baby, I, I'll stand by you (I ain't never gonna leave you, baby)

If you walk with me (walk with me)

Oh... (I'll stand by you)

If you walk with me (walk with me)

Baby, I'll stand by you

Take my hand, I'll walk with you

You Can Tell Him lyrics - Delta Rae

If you want to see the man who broke my heart

You can tell him by the eyes that pierce the dark

You can tell him by the laugh that fills the room

You can tell him by the arms that feel like home

Tried to tell him he's the only one I want

Tried to tell him he's the sun that brings the dawn

When I'm dreaming

And now he's telling me he's leaving

If you want to see the girl who took my place

You can tell her by the smile that's on her face

You can tell her by the way they're dancing slow

That he loves her and that she knows

I could tell her that it probably won't last

Be as jealous of her future as my past

But there's no healing

When he's telling me he's leaving

He's leaving

He's leaving

He's leaving

He's leaving me with no answers

Leaving me with no doubt

Let me feel a love I can't ever live without

And he's leaving me with no shelter

Leaving me with no air

Every morning I'm surprised that I'm still breathing

So if you want to know the reason I went home

I could tell you that I'm trying to move on

I could tell you that I need a change of scenery

But really

I don't want to see the man who broke my heart

I don't want to see those eyes that pierce the dark

I turn a corner and he's there again and baby I'm still reeling

I don't want to see the new girl in his life

I don't want to see the friends who picked their sides

I don't want to come face to face with love that I'm still feeling

So if you see the man I love despite our reason

You can tell him that I'm leaving

I'm leaving

All Good People lyrics - Delta Rae

There are dogs in the yard, howling at the moon
There are sinners like me our judgment's coming soon
And I stand at the bottom of this dark and lonely well
Saying "please give me answers so I might escape Hell"

I watched from my window as they gunned down unarmed men
Tried to say it's not my problem: couldn't happen to my friends
But the truth is they're my brothers, and they're my countrymen
And if we lose our better angels, we won't get them back again

Come on and raise your voice above the raging seas
We can't hold our breath forever when our brothers cannot breathe
Come on and raise your voice above the raging seas
We can't hold our breath forever when our brothers cannot breathe

Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Our brothers cannot breathe
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Our brothers cannot breathe

All good people, won't you come around?
Won't you come around?
Won't you come around?
All good people, won't you come around?
Won't you come around?
Defend your brothers
All good people, won't you come around?
Won't you come around?
Won't you come around?
All good people, won't you come around?
Won't you come around?
Hold up each other

Hands Dirty lyrics - Delta Rae

I could raise the crap from the earth
I could raise my children from birth
But when I'm looking for work
They say that job ain't for her
I could be a good man's wife
I could give a new child life
But when I fight for my rights
They say no woman, no cry

But I ain't giving up
I can't count on love

I get my hands dirty
I show up so early
They show me no mercy
So I just keep working
Maybe God could save me
Or my boss might pay me
Right now no one serves me
Maybe their hands are dirty, dirty, dirty?

I could lead impossible missions
Occupy the highest position
But when I ask them to listen
They disregard my opinion
Well, I ain't askin' no more
I will command the floor
I'm breaking every glass ceiling
I'm building skyscraping buildings

And when that next storm comes
I'll do what I always done

I get my hands dirty
I show up so early
They show me no mercy
So I just keep working
Maybe God could save me
Or my boss might pay me
Am I so unworthy?
Or are their hands just dirty, dirty, dirty?

And I have seen the other side of the mountain
Where every queen will be afforded her throne
And I will stand beside my sisters
And all persistent resisters
They'll say I knew it would come true
And I'll say "darling, me too"

I get my hands dirty
I show up so early
They show me no mercy
So I just keep working
Maybe God could save me
Or my boss might pay me
Right now no one serves me
Maybe their hands are dirty?

I get my hands dirty
I show up so early
They show me no mercy
So I just keep working
Maybe God could save me
Or my boss might pay me
Am I so unworthy?
Or are their hands just dirty, dirty, dirty?

Out Of The Badlands lyrics - Delta Rae

Don't tell your mama,
Don't tell your daddy,
Baby, let's just go.
The only escaping, the only salvation
Is a long dark road

You're bitin' your lip girl,
You're tight as a fist girl,
We'll be all right
Once we're over the hot sand,
Out of the badlands, into the night.

Don't trust the teachers,
Don't trust the preachers
That the world is round
We'll find out for ourselves,
Once we break past the shell on the edge of this town

I got some twenties and tens
In a Maxwell House can with the lid on tight,
To get us over the hot sand,
Out of the badlands, into the night.

Oh,
There's a billion little stars,
Oh,
Let's pick out which one is ours
Oh,
Girl, I need you by my side,
To get over the hot sand,
Out of the badlands, into the night.

Baby you'd better
Get jeans and a sweater
If the air gets cold
'Cause we been dreaming bout breaking out,
Running away, since seven years old

And it won't be as hard
Once the fence in our yard
Disappears out of sight

When we're over the hot sand,
Out of the badlands, into the night.

Oh,
There's a billion little stars,
Oh,
Let's pick out which one is ours
Oh,
Girl, I need you by my side,
To get over the hot sand,
Out of the badlands, into the night.
To get over the hot sand,
Out of the badlands, into the night.

Chasing Twisters (EP Version) lyrics - Delta Rae

I was born with lightning in my heels
Sewed a spur onto my ankle
Bitter horse under the steel
And I lost hope when I was still so young
Had an angel on my shoulder
But the devil always won

And oh, I lost it all when I got hurt
And I can feel you even now
Breakin' horses in the sky
I can taste you in my rage
And in the sweat upon my brow

And I went home,
Chasing twisters in the canyon
My cathedral is the badlands
Dust and devils on my conscience
Come back to me darlin'

So kiss me now
This whiskey on my breath
Feel the lives that I have taken
What little soul that I have left
And oh, my god
I'll take you to the grave
The only love I've ever known
The only soul I've ever saved

And I went home,
Chasing twisters in the canyon
My cathedral is the badlands
Dust and devils on my conscience
Come back to me darlin'

And I've been waiting for so long now
I can feel you in the hollow
And every cloud on the horizon
Come back to me darlin'

Don't you know I dream about you?
Don't you know I dream about you?
Run, run
Don't you know I dream about you?
Run, run
Don't you know I dream about you?
Run, run
Don't you know I dream about you?

And I went home,
Chasing twisters in the canyon
My cathedral is the badlands
Dust and devils on my conscience
Come back to me darlin'

And I've been waiting for so long now
I can feel you in the hollow
And every cloud on the horizon
Come back to me darlin'

Come back to me darlin'
Come back to me darlin'
