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
