Well I wonder where you have been darlin’
Wonder who’s with you when you go
Cuz you know I can hear them talk
And baby everybody knows
And you’re the reason why I cry each night
You’re the reason why I writhe in pain
It’s all you, yeah it’s just you
Baby, this is nothing new
Tell me why its always the same
Well I hope that you are happy darlin’
While you are passed out on the floor
But those demons that appease you
Will take and take and nothing more
And you’re the reason why I drink each night
You’re the reason why I writhe in pain
It’s all you, yeah it’s just you
Baby, this is nothing new
Tell me why its always the same
The lines on my face are clearer
Than they have ever been before
And the lines that I have taken daily
Have only left me wanting more
And you’re the reason why I die each night
You’re the reason I’m in fucking pain
It’s all you, yeah it’s just you
Baby, this is nothing new
Tell me why you’re driving me insane

Birmingham, AL 8:30am by Andrea & Mud
Well I’ve parked up on this barstool
Since about quarter past nine
It’s been 600 miles and three state lines
And the well is calling me
Down in the cut, playing real rough
And the cicadas are starting to whine
Take it one step, two steps, three steps
And I’ll stumble haplessly
Take it one night at a time
Passing them white lines
Making bad decisions intermittently
I spent all night trying to tie one on the size of Tennessee
Making bad decisions intermittently
Ooooohoooh, wooohoooo
Ooooohoooh, wooohoooo
Take it one night at a time
Passing them white lines
Making bad decisions intermittently
I spent all night trying to tie one on the size of Tennessee
Making bad decisions intermittently
I slithered out that barroom
When the sun was starting to shine
I been drinking all night
I got in a fight, and now my bed is calling me
Trying to find that neon sign
Where I was paying an hourly fee
Making bad decisions intermittently
Take it one night at a time
Passing them white lines
Making bad decisions intermittently
I spent all night trying to tie one on the size of Tennessee
Making bad decisions intermittently

Hellhounds by Andrea & Mud
I sold my soul at the crossroads
But the check is in the mail
I can hear them hellhounds callin’ me
I can hear them hellhounds wail
I played against Memphis Minnie
For a bottle of gin and bail
And I’d do it again nearly every time
So far away I’d sail
Oooooooooooh, me and the hellhounds
Oooooooooooh, the hellhounds
The ladies all loved my guitar
They all fought for my heart
And I gave it away to each and every one
Til the hounds tore me apart
Played all across Mississippi
All the way to Timbuktu
Now I’m back at the crossroads one last time
Cuz the hounds said we are through

The Reason Why She Cries

The Reason Why She Cries by Andrea & Mud
Well that gal of mine is a special kind
Says that I’m no good
But I can’t find the reason why she cries
Do my chores, I mop the hall
Can’t do nothing right at all
But I can’t find the reason why she cries
Merle said a man’s made out of mud
A poor man’s made out of muscle and blood
But I can’t find the reason why she cries
I cry cuz you don’t make me smile
Even though I’ve walked a country mile
You went and let me walk away
There’s issues that I have with you
Mostly that you can’t be true
But I fold your clothes and make your pie
I still fold your clothes and then I make your pie
I don’t know what I’ve been told
Fighting and cussin gets real old
I don’t know the reason why she cries
I went to town the other day
I almost spent all my pay
But I don’t know the reason why she cries
I brought her this and I brought her that
She just saw my wallet’s flat
I can’t find the reason why she cries
I cry cuz you don’t make me smile
Even though I’ve walked a country mile
You went and let me walk away
There’s issues that I have with you
Mostly that you can’t be true
But I fold your clothes and make your pie
I still fold your clothes and then I make your pie
I packed my bags the other day
Thought it’s time I get a place
I don’t know the reason why I cry
It’s a long walk back, to our home
To a place that feels quite unknown
I don’t know the reason
I don’t know the reason
I don’t know the reason why I cry

Send Your Love My Way by Andrea & Mud
Baby, won’t you treat me nice
I know that look on your face
You’re always saying you’re “fine”
But I know that ain’t the case
Won’t you, send your love
Please send your love
Send your love my way
Send your love my way
I’ve only seen you twice
In the last several days
I keep thinking it’s fine
Soon you’ll be here to stay
I don’t care how it gets here
You can send it by plane
As long as it gets here
Some day
Honey you’re as cold as ice
You ain’t got nothing to say
I just try to love you
But you won’t feel the same
I swear I’m leaving tonight
Gonna find a new place
Cuz I’ve got nothin to die for
You’ll never meet me halfway
I don’t care how it gets here
You can send it by train
As long as it gets here
Some day
Baby, won’t you treat me nice
I know that look on your face
You’re always saying you’re “fine”
But I know that ain’t the case
Won’t you, send your love
Please send your love
Send your love my way

Used Car Salesman by Andrea & Mud
I lie awake all night and I sleep all
I’m headed for something, black clouds are here to stay
Cuz my man loves his cars, wheels and tires and brakes
And he’s so greasy, if not for his own sake
And he’s so greasy, if not for his own sake
I love my car salesman, man he can sell a Ford
And he’d never even look at another blue collar girl
But he’ll check out a Bronco, an old Pontiac
He’s always trying to find out what car you got out back
He’s always trying to find out what car you got out back
Well it’s alright, don’t feel bad for me
I’m just a $2 whore that ain’t free
But I don’t wanna be free
When he finally came home, I was changing some brakes
He took all of my money then slapped me right across my face
Of course I gave it to him, I ain’t got nothing to say
He gives me some of his side jobs, then takes all of my pay
He gives me some of his side jobs, then takes all of my pay
Well it’s alright, don’t feel bad for me
I’m just a $2 whore that ain’t free
But I don’t wanna be free
I love my car salesman, man he can sell a Ford
And he’d never even look at another $2 whore
But he’ll check out a Bronco, a ‘79 Pontiac
He’s always trying to find out what car you got out back
He’s always trying to find out what car you got out back, son

Little Blue Truck by Andrea & Mud
I’ve been driving all over Georgia
With a license to roam
Ain’t nothing in this little blue truck
You could call a home
So I put it all together then I pulled it all apart
And you never could mend a broken heart
Best time in life
Well, they’re gone
Bad luck, trouble and me
We got a long history
I’ve got chains on my heart
Chains on my wrists
Oh, sorrow won’t you let me be
Cuz I’m alone
All the best times in life
Well, they’re gone, gone, gone
There’s a devil on my left and the bottle on my right
And neither one could keep me warm at night
But the heat from my cigarette
Might keep me close
Been spendin’ all my money, callin’ everybody honey
Now there’s just one thing left to do
Cuz the bottom of the bottle
Can’t cure the blues
Bad luck, trouble and me
We got a long history
I’ve got chains on my heart
Chains on my wrists
Oh, sorrow won’t you let me be
Cuz I’m alone
All the best times in life
Well, they’re gone, gone, gone
[Spoken]
They say these are the best times in life
But I respectfully disagree
I’ve been drivin’ this little blue truck for so long
I forgot what home is
It’s been a long ol’ time on this journey
And I’m almost to that Copper Mine Bridge
But until then, I’ll just be gone

Leave by Andrea & Mud
Girl you’ve got to leave today
You know you just can’t stay
Ain’t no use in beggin babe
No matter what you say
Walk on out that door girl
It only swings one way
I’ll help you pack your bags
You know you just can’t stay
Don’t need no more excuses
Don’t need no more lies
I saw right through the bullshit
When I looked into your eyes
I hope that other fella
Will keep you satisfied
So woman shut your mouth
I don’t need no more goodbyes
I hope you’ve thought it over
You’ve got some place to go
Grab your ragged suitcase
And gather all your clothes
Take that quilt your mama made
To keep you from the cold
Walk right out that door babe
You know you have to go
Don’t need no more excuses
Don’t need no more lies
I saw right through the bullshit
When I looked into your eyes
I hope that other fella
Will keep you satisfied
So woman shut your mouth
I don’t need no goodbye

I Ain’t Home by Andrea & Mud
I ain’t home without you in my arms
I don’t know this room unless I hear your guitar
I cry out your name, cry for you to come home
But my arms hold a sign
That says, “Will Work for Love”
Another cold night, another bottle for one
And it just don’t seem right, to keep on singing alone
When I did have you here, when we had us a song
Didn’t know that that feeling
Was how it felt to be home
I just wanna be home, want you back in my arms
I wanna put down the bottle, I wanna write some more songs
It’s not that Honky Tonk feeling that I loved all along
It was the way you made me feel
When I had you in my arms
I can feel the wind blow
As I sit by the door
But you don’t even care, won’t even pick up the phone
But when I did have you here, and you stopped singin our song
Didn’t know that that feeling
Was how it felt to be home
I just wanna be home, I want you back in my arms
I wanna put down the bottle, I wanna write some more songs
It’s not that Honky Tonk feeling that I loved all along
It’s the way you made me feel
When I had you in my arms
Home is the place
Where I have you in my arms

Yer Majesty by Andrea & Mud
Just because we drank up all the whiskey
And someone in our party’s on the run
Doesn’t mean that we don’t need pancakes and weed
And another beer before the rising sun
We peeled ourselves off of the floor of Star Bar
RC said , “It’s time for y’all to leave.”
We couldn’t find our keys, I had two bloody knees
We tried to find a car we could set free
We met an Aussie with a fancy haircut
A rocker in a band named after poon
They both seemed in need of some good company
So we headed to the closest greasy spoon
We said, “Your majesty, fill my ticket please.
Give me something warm to eat.
Good company is all that I need,
Then I’ll be gone, I’ll be gone, before the dawn.”
We woke up they were sleepin on our sofa
They couldn’t seem to take the hint to leave
They always were in need of more pancakes and weed
And we ran out pretty quick you would believe
We tied em up and threw em in our backseat
Another day with them we didn’t need
Next time you’re in need of some good company
Why don’t you just ask your majesty
