Tema: Uncle Kracker - Tekstovi Pesama

(I'm Gonna)Split This Room In Half


I know a guy who took too many pills
Now he's got a mansion that sits on a hill
14 million served that's correct
17 cars, 3 cribs, and 2 jets
I came to test to blood, sweat, tears
Persevered for ten long years
10 years, I was there for 8
And I ain't seen a meaner mutha puttin' food on our plate
I've learned to hate, and that's a damn shame
Because I'm gettin' pretty good at this bitch ass game
See, fame ain't the problem, it's brokeaa
Pissin' on my dawg cause they're down on their luck
Now you're stuck like a pig in the poke
You know you're makin' him mad, and you're goin' to get choked
Don't you know every dog has a limit
Yo. I'm about to kick somebody's ass in a minute

Chorus:

I'm Gonna Split This Room In Half
Why'd you have to go and get my dog all mad
I'm Gonna Split This Room In Half
(I said) Why'd you have to go and get my dog all mad
I'm Gonna Split This Room In Half
Why'd you have to go and get my dog all mad
I'm Gonna Split This Room In Half
(I said) Why'd you have to go and get my dog all mad

Sometimes success leads to stress
Legal roles and dumb (hoes) and death threats
Nat work for network and that works
And people jerk for perks that ain't theirs
And that hurts. You work your whole life
And that still ain't enough
Cause a bunch of punks wanna poach your stuff
That's not your stuff
So don't touch that
And don't make me break with this baseball bat, cause

Repeat chorus

You're not playing nice
My dog likes to share
You're goin to get smacked for not playin fair
It's in the air you can feel the tension
We don't take kind to senseless dissension
You bark like a dog. You fight like a dog
You live by your dog. You die by your dog
Now there's a calm before the storm
And I'd hate to be you when it starts to get warm
Clouds are forming. Crowds are swarming
You've had for - . Now pray for mourning, cause

Repeat chorus (x2)

Baby Don`t Cry


Everything has a reason
At least that's what they all say
And I've lost my count of the seasons
I don't know what's been makin' me stay

Many's the time that you've hurt me
That's just the way that you live
Many a time is forgotten
But I never said that I could forgive

Chorus:
Baby don't cry, cry me a river
And baby don't try to wash over me yeah
Baby don't cry my ship is now sailin'
And I've wasted all my time in your sea
And I've wasted all my time in your sea

Now that your toys have been broken
I guess you want company
There is no point in you callin'
Cuz I'm headed for my own destiny

Now everyone has a problem yeah
Lord knows you've always been mine
The nights are always the hardest
But tonight some how I know I'll be fine

Repeat Chorus

Ace's And 8's


Walked up in the bar and sat down on the stool
And got the low down from the guy with the jewel
He was playin pool and he thought he was good
Cause he bet me five dimes, he could sink em with his foot
He grabbed a stick, tried to kick it with his heel
Did a sick back flip and ended up full kneel
He didn't squeal, but it looked like it hurt
And it did cause he took me for my cash and my shirt
I got worked, but what's worse than that
Just as he was leaving he tipped his hat
Then he laughed and said, I'm sory bout your luck
When he walked out the door he got hit by a truck

Ace's and eight's
Ace's and eight's
Ace's and eight's
That's a dead man's hand
Ace's and eight's

That's a dead man's hand
Ace's and eight's
Ace's and eight's
Ace's and eight's

How bout the guy, used to hang in the clubs
Getting all the numbers and getting all the love
He didn't wear gloves, he was too hard core
May he rest in peace, we don't see him anymore
Lots of stories and old cliches
Small town girl tryin to make her way
She moved to the city, all she wanted was a job
Now she's underneath the desk tryin to move to the top
It won't stop cause the circle won't let it
Be careful what you wish for, you might get it
You know the cat got macked by the bees
He was messin with the honey and the mouse and the cheese

Ace's and eight's
Ace's and eight's
Ace's and eight's
That's a dead man's hand

That's a dead man's hand
Ace's and eight's
Ace's and eight's
Ace's and eight's

You could beat the system, you could beat your girl
But who ya gonna beat come the end of the world
Imagine everything you ever worked for, strived for
Suddenly becomin everything your gonna die for
Now what'd ya live for
Nothing anymore right
How could you live your whole life uptight
See everything you did and everything you seen
Rolled around in the mud, but you couldn't come clean
And that makes you dirty, now how does that feel
Living life like an open cut that won't heal
Sore at the world and you don't know why
You bounced like a ball and that's how you'll die

Ace's and eight's

Better Days


85 miles out of Nashville, thinkin’ bout the way things change
Try an keep it by the reigns
I’m a lone drifter, big money flipper
Take anything you got on the rocks in a snifter
I missed her in Kentucky, went down to Louisiana
I never had no lovin’ like I had in Alabama
A man of my word ain’t out to hurt nobody
I’m jus a m c to keep the boogie in the party
Been singin’ laadi daadi since 84 and
I’ll be singin’ laadi daadi ‘til I’m 84
I couldn’t ask for more, life’s been sweet
So you can save the planet, I’ll save your seat

BRIDGE

I been gone for weeks, I ain’t slept in days
I can’t find myself in this self made maze
It’s been so long since I’ve been fine
I’m just tryin’ to see the bottom of this bottle of wine

CHORUS

And I know I’ll see better days
Well I know you’ll see things my way

I never thought about change until
Spend a little time where time stood still
Been lookin’ for a mill but I keep comin’ up shy
I been a broke fool, I ain’t tryin’ to be that guy
Wanna ride like lightning, roll like thunder
I’m tryin’ to get some money, I ain’t getting any younger
At times I wonder, at times I won’t
Sometimes I give a fuck but most times I don’t
…even care, through stained glass windows these eyes stare
I try to stay straight but it’s kickin’ my ass
Every time I look ahead I get a glimpse of the past
I sit half mass like a soldier’s flag
That’s why my left leg limps and my Dickies sag
It’s been so long since I’ve been fine
I’m just tryin’ to see the bottom of this bottle of wine

REPEAT CHORUS

Well I been all around this crooked land
I come across all walks, I shook Jim Beam’s hand
I got no plans and no place to go
It keeps getting harder to just say no
I see the people laugh and people cry
That’s how some live and that’s how some die
Well me myself I’m gonna sit right here
And I’m a watch this world break down in tears
All my fears and dark gray skys
Couldn’t crack my smile or break my stride
Got too much pride, I got too much
I might be down but I still ain’t out
Got too much time and that’s all I have
When I leave this world I’ll still be sad
It’s bee so long since I’ve been fine
I’m just tryin’ to see the bottom of this bottle of wine

REPEAT CHORUS
ncle Kracker Rule

A Place At My Table


And you’ll always have a place at my table
Hey dinner’s ready come on and eat
Get her done

This ain’t no Memphis soul songs
And Motown rhythm and blues
Or smoky broken soundtracks
Of my every childhood moves
Soothing are the camera’s looking out at my back 40
Lord I don’t know where I’d be if not from Berigordi
See my story ain’t that simple and it don’t stop here
Patsy Cline still echo’s through my younger years
I know you can hear me ‘cause the music never stops
George Jone sang me to sleep whether he knows it or not

CHORUS
And I’ll always lend a hand if I’m able
And you’ll always have a place at my table

I’ve been this whole world over with Detroit on my mind
But I’ve got friends in Tennessee Atlanta and Caroline
We don’t need no money and we don’t want no grief
But if you came to give some you’ll be pickin’ up your teeth

REPEAT CHORUS

That’s your Uncle Kracker sittin’ back there on that back porch
And I think sittin’ back here I can see everything I need to see
I think back here I can see poor old Mr. Bradford fuelin’ up the Benz
Everything is truly everything
That’s all it can ever be
And that sure is good enough for me ha ha

(And I’ll always give ya help if I’m able
And you’ll always have a place at my table)

REPEAT CHORUS Get her done

Blues Man


Hey What ‘chu tryin’ to do
Why you tryin’ to see through me baby
It’s way too hazy
Hey I’m still feelin’ the same
So don’t go tryin’ to change me baby
You can’t save me
So many people try to bring me down
They wouldn’t last a second in my town

CHORUS
Hey I’ve always been a blues man
Hey I little rhythm and blues man
Don’t try walkin’ inside my shoes
Unless you’re puttin’ up somethin’ to lose
I said Hey I’ve always been a blues man
Hey a little rhythm and blues man
Don’t try walkin’ inside my shoes tonight

You stem so far from the truth
You hide inside all your talkin’ papers
Flashin’ statements
You never put your money down
And watched a big wheel go around and take it
And in remake it
All you do is follow me around
Then you go ahead and ride it down

REPEAT CHORUS

Don’t try walkin’ inside my shoes
Unless you’re puttin’ up somethin’ to lose
I said don’t try walkin’ inside my shoes baby baby
I said Hey I’ve always been a blues man
Hey a little rhythm and blues man
Don’t try walkin’ inside my shoes
Unless your puttin’ up somethin’ to lose
I said Hey I’ve always been a blues man
Hey A little rhythm and blues man
Don’t try walkin’ inside my shoes
Unless your unless your unless your
Hey I’ve always been a blues man
Hey A little rhythm and blues man
Don’t try walkin’ inside my shoes tonight

Don't Know How (Not to Love You)


I can learn to live alone and move on with my life
There's a million things that I can do to occupy my time
I can wake each morning, I can go about my day
I can fumble through my words until I find a few to say
But the hardest thing I've had to do since we've been apart
Is learning how to deal with all this pain inside my heart

(Chorus)
Cause I don't know how
don't know how
don't know how, not to Love you

I don't know how
don't know how
don't know how, not to Love you

I can work all day, or I can hang out every night
I can do the wrong things and pretend that they're alright
I can make beleive that everything is cool
And put on the face that covers up the lies of a fool

(Chorus)
But I don't know how
don't know how
don't know how not to Love you

I don't know how
don't know how
don't know how, not to Love you

(Bridge)
You said that time would ease the pain
But I still hear your voice whisper my name
Since you've been gone my world stands still
You said I'd forget, but I never will

(Chorus)
I don't know how
don't know how
don't know how, not to Love you

I don't know how
don't know how
don't know how, not to Love you

I can write a song and make the whole world laugh or cry
I can use some words to paint a vivid picture in your mind
I can use my hands to wipe the dust off this guitar
And let this music that I'm playing take my mind off my heart

(Chorus)
But I don't know how
don't know how
don't know how, not to Love you

I don't know how
don't know how
don't know how, not to Love you

(Bridge Repeated)
You said that time would ease the pain
But I still hear your voice whisper my name
Since you've been gone my world stands still
You said I'd forget, but I never will

(Chorus Repeated 2x)
I don't know how
don't know how
don't know how, not to Love you

I don't know how
don't know how
don't know how, not to Love you

I don't know how
don't know how
don't know how, not to Love you

I don't know how
don't know how
don't know how, not to Love you

Drift Away


Day after day I'm more confused
yet I look for the light through the pourin' rain
You know, that's a game, that I hate to loose
and I'm feelin' the strain, ah ain't it a shame, oh

CHORUS:
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and DRIFT AWAY
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and DRIFT AWAY

Won't you take me away

Beginin' to think, that I'm wastin' time
I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
and I'm countin' on you, you can carry me through, oh

CHORUS

And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
when I'm feelin' blue
The guitars come in through to soothe me

Thanks for the joy you've given me (ooh the joy that you given me)
I want you to know I believe in your song (oh yeah)
Your Rhythm, and rhyme, and harmony (mmm
You helped me along (makin' me strong), ah you're makin' me strong, oh

COURSE X4
Give me the beat boys and free my soul (free my soul)
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and DRIFT AWAY (drift away)
Give me the beat boys and free my soul (free my soul)
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and DRIFT AWAY (drift away)

Won't you take me away

Follow Me


You don’t know how you met me
You don’t know why
You can’t turn around and say goodbye
All you know is when I’m with you
I make you free
And swim through your veins like a fish in the sea
I’m singin'

Follow me, everything is alright
I’ll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you want to leave, I can guarantee
You won’t find nobody else like me

I’m not worried 'bout the ring you wear
Cause as long as no one knows, then nobody can care
You’re feelin’ guilty and I’m well aware
But you don’t look ashamed and baby, I’m not scared
I’m singin'

Follow me, everything is alright
I’ll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you want to leave I can guarantee
You won’t find nobody else like me

Won’t give you money
I can’t give you the sky
You're better off if you don’t ask why
I’m not the reason that you go astray and
We’ll be all right if you don’t ask me to stay

Follow me, everything is alright
I’ll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you want to leave I can guarantee
You won’t find nobody else like me

Don’t know how you met me
You don’t know why
You can’t turn around and say goodbye
All you know is when I’m with you
I make you free
And swim through your veins like a fish in the sea
I’m singin'

Follow me, everything is alright
I’ll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you want to leave I can guarantee
You won’t find nobody else like me
I'm singin'

Follow me, everything is alright
I’ll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you want to leave I can guarantee
You won’t find nobody else like me
I'm singin'

Follow me, everything is alright
I’ll be the one to tuck you in at night
And if you want to leave I can guarantee
You won’t find nobody else like me

Further Down The Road


Half a mile outside Biloxi
Did I come or did I go
Seven sirens singin' to me
Why I listen I don't know
I got some smokes I got some coffee
My head is ready to explode
I'll be makin' my way further down the road

I'm not much for conversation
And I don't care for playin' games
I've heard all the hard luck stories
Man they all turn out the same
I'm the last lonely survivor
And I'm still carryin' their load
I'll be makin my way further down the road

I'll be makin' my way
I'm gonna get there some day
I'll be makin' my way
Past the one eyed Jacks layin' rail road tracks in my soul

I'll be makin' my way
I'm gonna get there some day
I'll be makin' my way
Past the one eyed Jacks layin' rail road tacks in my soul

Sometimes I wake up with a fever
Then I just have another beer
I'd like to wake up to a new life
A million miles away from here
But I got demons that need chasin'
And I live by the legend's code
I'll be makin' my way further down the road
I'll be makin' my way further down the road
