I Don't Care You're Gone

I can't believe what they told me
That you were leaving town
All those hearts you broke baby.. well one's mine now
I hope you think, I cry like a baby
But I don't care you're gone.
They say love can be rocky
A dead end or two
I thought we had the magic.. to pull through
But your spells, took my soul right outta me
And I don't care you're gone.
If you see a man who's lost control
Well maybe he's just finding his way
Getting acquainted with a bottle or two
Cause Johnny won't lead him astray
Now our love's dead and buried
And you've moved away
I can look forward to, some better days
I wish you the best from Karma to you
See I don't care you're gone.

Feeling the Blues

Let me tell a story of how I'm doing now
I'm not sure if you're int'rested but I'll tell it anyhow
Since you've left my loving and told me we were through
I don't know what you're feeling, but I'm just feeling the blues
Well loving you has taught me one too many things
That I cannot tame you with gold and diamond rings
You sank the dagger deeply and left me no clues
I don't know what you're feeling, but I'm just feeling the blues
So it's seems that you've left me in a state of disrepair
I'm not caring how I smell or if I brushed my hair
But I see you found your swagger, wearing brand new shoes
I don't know what you're feeling, but I'm just feeling the blues
Lately I've been drinking and talking to myself
What if you come back to me and be someone else?
Well my ego will not yet me, I know I must be true
I don't know what you're feeling, but I'm just feeling the blues

Close Behind

When she was taking her first tiny steps,
I'd be a'watchin' and holding my breath.
And I'd say "Baby, just take your time,
Cause I'm close behind, close behind"
Off with the trainers, riding two wheels,
Five year old passion is all that she feels.
She's yellin' "Daddy! I'm doing just fine!"
And I was close behind, close behind.
Sometimes life will lead us apart
But I’ll there for you girl, when times get hard.
When she is travelling those teenage years,
Into the unknown, sometimes with fear
I hope she always knows, if she driving blind,
I’ll be close behind, close behind.
One day she'll be standing in a gown of white,
Ready to walk right down the aisle.
She'll whisper "Daddy, don't you cry"
Just walk close beside me, close beside"
Sometimes life will lead us apart
But I’ll there for you girl, when times get hard.
When she is taking her first tiny steps,
I'll be a'watchin' and holding my breath.
And I will say "Sweetie, just take your time,
Grandpa’s close behind, close behind"

Sweet Lovin'

Oh baby, take my breath, take my breath away
I'd travel to the earth's far edge, just to hear you call my name
You see, life's grindin' is big ol' hand, pullin' me to the ground
Feels like I'm pushing hard you see, just to get my arse around
I need some, Sweet Lovin', Sweet Lovin', Sweet Lovin's gonna soothe my soul
Sweet Lovin', Sweet Lovin', Sweet Lovin Ohh
Heed the rumours, get ready babe, cause I'm homeward bound
I'll swoop in like a wild old storm, tip your world up-down
No warning will you hear, no one will stop my deed
Only in my woman's arms, will my goal succeed
I need some, Sweet Lovin', Sweet Lovin', Sweet Lovin's gonna ease my soul
Sweet Lovin', Sweet Lovin', Sweet Lovin Ohh
Gimme some, Sweet Lovin', Sweet Lovin', Sweet Lovin gonna pay my toll
Sweet Lovin', Sweet Lovin', Sweet Lovin Oh
Now my tale has been told, I can pause and take breath
But sweet lovin’s beckoning me so here comes the rest!
I need some, Sweet Lovin', Sweet Lovin', Sweet Lovin's gonna ease my soul
Sweet Lovin', Sweet Lovin', Sweet Lovin Oh

I'm Sorry World

My phone rang out again, it's probably work this time
But I don't mind cause I'm with her, just staring in her eyes
The walls around could fall right in but I don't care
As long as I can touch those lips and smell her golden hair
I can’t think of anywhere that I’d rather be somehow
Than lying in this bed with my gorgeous girl right now
I'm sorry world but I'm not going anywhere you see
I found a place in her heart and she's falling into me
I'm sure that I've got things to do and places I should be..
But there's no way I'm gonna leave
It’s getting dark outside, I don’t how the time
Just disappeared so quickly like that bottle of red wine
There's nothing anyone could say to me today
To make want to turn my head and stop feeling this way
Heaven is with my girl right by my side
If you got told differently, I tell you man they lied
I'm sorry world but I'm not going anywhere you see
I found a place in her heart and she's falling into me
I'm sure that I've got things to do and places I should be..
But there's no way I'm gonna leave you
I'll hold you
You know I built my world around
Babe you're all I need
I tell you, truthfully
You won't need to ever worry
I will never leave
Never leave..,
I'm sorry world but I'm not going anywhere you see
I found a place in her heart and she's falling into me
I'm sure that I've got things to do and places I should be..
But there's no way I'm gonna leave
