YOU CAN'T REALLY MISS ME, IF I NEVER GO AWAY (EP)
Released: 2008


HARD SPOT
(Avsec)

Music: Avsec, Goll, Hoenes, Ierace, Foster

I got a girl
She don't care
When I'm with you
She's not there

I got a job
It don't pay
I got 5 kids
So I stay

I go to bed hungry
Cause she doesn't let me eat
I'm getting worn and wrinkled
Cause she doesn't let me drink

But if I should stray
She's gonna make me pay
And if I stay
I'm gonna wallow
You bleed, I follow

Sittin in a hard spot
(Between a hard spot and a rock I sit)
Sittin in a hard spot
(Between a hard spot and a rock I sit)
Sittin in a hard spot
(Between a hard spot and a rock I sit)
Sittin in a hard spot
(Between a hard spot and a rock I sit)

I'm skin and bones
But I got soul
With nothing doin'
And no place to go
I go to church
All they do is talk
I pet my dog
He wants to go for a walk
He leads, I follow

Sittin in a hard spot
(Between a hard spot and a rock I sit)
Sittin in a hard spot
(Between a hard spot and a rock I sit)
Sittin in a hard spot
(Between a hard spot and a rock I sit)
Sittin in a hard spot
(Between a hard spot and a rock I sit)

He's in the middle of a book he don't read
Just counting the words
He struggles to breathe

(Smokin' Marty Lee guitar solo)

You lead, I follow

Sittin in a hard spot
(Between a hard spot and a rock I sit)
Sittin in a hard spot
(Between a hard spot and a rock I sit)
Sittin in a hard spot
(Between a hard spot and a rock I sit)
Sittin in a hard spot
(Between a hard spot and a rock I sit)



I CAN'T REALLY MISS YOU (IF YOU NEVER GO AWAY)
(Avsec)

Music: Avsec

Baby I want ya, I think that we're strong but
Too much of anything, makes it seem wrong but
not suggesting we are through
Listen to what I'm telling you

Now I'm telling you baby baby baby, we're a set in the sun
Though you're the last thing I see before the day is done
After I'm a sleepin and soon as I'm awake
First thing I see is your familiar face

Girl, I can't really miss you if you never go away
I can't really miss you if you don't
I can't really miss you if you never go away
But you won't

You always shop for my clothes, you say look what I bought
I start a new sentence, you finish my thought
We're closer than two can be, I need to hold a bigger piece of me

I've got my thing, but you're always at my side
when I'm signing my name, baby you dot the I's
Now you've moved your things into my place
I need you baby, but I need my space

Girl, I can't really love you if I never learn to hate
The time that I spend alone
I can't really miss you if you never go away
But you won't

Now we can drink the same tequila, but not suck from the same lime
Read the same book, but not at the same time
Every waking hour, every waking day
I feel you on me like a ball and chain

Girl, I can't really love you if I never learn to hate
The time that I spend alone
I can't really miss you if you never go away
But you don't

I can't really miss you if you never go away
I can't really miss you if you don't
I can't really miss you if you never go away
But you won't



ODE TO JANE (IMMORTAL BELOVED)
(Avsec)

Music: Avsec, McClain, Hoenes, Ierace, Valentine

Years ago my brother brought Jane home to meet the family
He said this is the woman that one day I plan to marry
Thunder, lightning she sure was frightening
So self-posessed, so beautiful

And if I could have breathed a word I surely would have told her
Jane I want you though I don't know you
Wrestled my brother for her

But I knew that I had to refrain
And so I wrote this ode to Jane

Uh-huh
Oh yeah
Uh-huh
Oh yeah

They got married in the fall
And lived as married people
In our house up in the loft
Dad said that girl is evil

Let me hear her make love to him
Only because I listen
And it's still that way into the night
And to all things forbidden

Uh-huh
Oh yeah
Uh-huh
Oh yeah

Jane
Woah Jane

No, no one was surprised to see
That he should look a lot like me
Yeah yeah

Now Jane she had a baby boy
My brother was so happy
He built a playground on the place
And my that boy was scrappy
Ooh I loved him just like a father
Though the boy called me Uncle

And no one was surprised to see
That he should look a lot like me
And no one was surprised to see
That he should look a lot like me
Oh no one was surprised to see
That he should look a lot like me
No, no one was surprised to see
That he would look a lot like me

Years ago my brother brought Jane home



SCREAMIN' BOY (demo)
(Avsec)

Music: Avsec

Ah when I was a young boy
Around the age of 9
My momma trained me to be
Greatest singer alive
She threw me in the waters
The muddy waters
Those muddy muddy waters till I swam or I died

One day I met Eve
And that was a different thing altogether
Root of all evil
She put a spell on me
She liked the singer
His name was Angel Geoffrey
I tried to join his band
But he wouldn't let me
He said can you play the guitar?
I said no
Can you play the drums?
I said no
He said well can you play the saxophone?
I said no, I play none

But I can scream
Oh yeah
A screamin' boy
Uh-huh
It's the last best hope we have to give voice
S-C-R-E-A-M
What's that spell?
Momma, what's that spell?
Lordy, what's that spell?

Now Eve an I were married
But soon she did cavort
And when I finally left her
I had to pay support
Then the mill went under and I lost my record deal
I tell ya, I had nothing
No place to get a meal

So I scream
Oh yeah
A screamin' boy
Oh yeah
Was the last best chance I had to give voice

S-C-R-E-A-M
What's that spell?
What's that spell?
Yeah, Oh, Wooh!

One day when it's my time
And you have to put me down
I wanna a simple headstone
On a simple plot of ground
High on a hill in the quiet part of town
So the neighbors they can hear me
When I wanna holler down
