Better SomedayI am just a lost soul
Wandering to and fro
Searching for direction
For where I'm going
There's no need to talk about
What I haven't figured out
But you'll be the first to know
When I'm knowing myself
God Is In The HouseGod is in the house, everybody shout amen
Amen, God is in the house
God is in the house, everybody shout amen
Amen, God is in the house
Once there was a child, they told him was dead
He went to the house where her body was laid
Cried unto his Father and He said arise
I'm Over YouYou said the sun wouldn't shine today
Well, baby you were wrong
I put on my purple scarf
And I'm going out to play
And I'm sorry, but you can't come along
You had your chance to be with me
Then you did what you did
And I threw your stuff out in the street
Just Let It BurnI can tell baby you're gonna get blistered
If you get to close to the stove
I hark to the day my mother used to say
"Cool off with a watering hose"
And that Pentecostal preacher
Lord he tried to teach me
I tried to pay attention too
That fire and brimstone sermon he was screaming
Sing 'Cause I Love ToAcross the street from Mable's store
Underneath my daddy's carport
If you knew at least three chords
You could come and play all night long
Flattop, mandolin or anything with strings
Every single Saturday you could hear us sing
[Chorus:]
Soul SistersI was raised in the hills of Kentucky
I grew up in L.A.
From different sides of the country
Every time we heard music play
We were learning our language
We were born to speak
We may not sing it the same way
The Life of a DollarFrom the pocket of an honest preacher
To the empty hand of a homeless bum
To the cash drawer at the liquor store
Where he bought a pint of rum
To the bank clerk who past me off
To the single mom trying to pay the rent
I can't even count all the times
What Dying Feels LikeCan't say that I blame ya
For walking out on me
I know I've been hard to live with
I won't try to keep you
Like I've done before
I don't deserve all these chances
[Chorus:]
