WRONG SIDE OF TOWN By Tom Gray Seems like you've been a long time coming I thought maybe you were gone for good But if you're broke or you're just slumming It's good to see you back in the neighborhood Across the tracks You like to put it down Welcome back To the wrong side of town You say you're rolling in the money And now you're dressed to play the part But you ain't fooling yourself, honey You're still an alley cat at heart Across the tracks You like to put it down Welcome back To the wrong side of town They like to whoop and holler But don't you get these people wrong Some will kill you for a dollar Some will love you for a song Across the tracks You like to put it down Welcome back To the wrong side of town Across the tracks You like to put it down Welcome back To the wrong side of town (c)2014 Gray Matter Publishing

Afterglow 03:54
AFTERGLOW By Tom Gray, Mark Johnson and Franher Joseph Didn't we shake it, baby We had a time all right Two trains passing in the desert In the middle of the night Pull into the station With nothing left to show Just a cup of coffee And a whiff of afterglow This road is full of choices You got to make 'em for yourself You can turn your back on love You'll just be facing something else Pull into the station With nothing left to show Just a cup of coffee And a whiff of afterglow Last night I was dreaming Dreaming on the train Had my face against the window Looking outside in the rain And I thought I saw you smiling Through the trees and brooks and fields You whispered that you loved me And it almost sounded real Pull into the station With nothing left to show Just a cup of coffee And a whiff of afterglow Afterglow Just a whiff of afterglow Just a whiff of afterglow (c) 2015 Single Coil Music, Ephjay Music

NOTHING YOU CAN TELL A FOOL By Tom Gray You can tell a woman's crying From the tears that she has shed You can tell a man is lying By the way he turns his head And no matter how you tell it No matter what you do There ain't nothing There's nothing you can tell a fool You can tell a story Stick to it all night long You can tell a secret But once you do it's gone And no matter how you tell it No matter what you do There ain't nothing There's nothing you can tell a fool A fool will see Just what he wants to see I'm telling you Take it from a fool like me No matter how you tell it No matter what you do There ain't nothing There's nothing you can tell a fool (c)2014 Gray Matter Publishing (BMI)

Mean Streak 05:27
MEAN STREAK By Tom Gray, Mark Johnson and Franher Joseph Close shave I could've been dead Had denial in my head and a fist down in my gut Hey, you, down inside You didn't kill me but you sure tried And you still ain't giving up You got a mean streak Running through and through I got a mean streak I'm just as mean as you So long, killer, see you 'round You're incinerator bound Though you take a part of me with you I'll take the poison, take the knife Find a way to live my life 'Cause living's what I want to do I got a mean streak Running through and through I got a mean streak I'm just as mean as you You live each day like all the rest Doing what comes easiest Then one day wake up from your sleep And feel the gun against your head You're living like the Misfit said This time you've got to dig down deep You got a mean streak Running through and through I got a mean streak And, yeah, you got a mean streak too (c)2015 Single Coil Music, Ephjay Music

DOWN IN THE FLOOD By Bob Dylan Crash on the levee, mama Water's gonna overflow Swamp's gonna rise and No boat's gonna row You can train on down to Williams Point You can bust your feet You can rock this joint But oh, mama You're gonna miss your best friend now You're gonna have to find yourself Another best friend somehow Don't try and move me, mama You're just gonna lose There's a crash on the levee, mama You have been refused Well, it's sugar for sugar And it's salt for salt If you go down in the flood It's gonna be your fault And oh, mama You're gonna miss your best friend now You're gonna have to find yourself Another best friend somehow High tide is rising Mama, don't you let me down Pack up your suitcase, mama Don't you make a sound Now it's king for king And it's queen for queen It's gonna be the meanest flood Anybody's seen And oh, mama You're gonna miss your best friend now You're gonna have to find yourself Another best friend somehow (c) Dwarf Music

OPEN ALL NIGHT By Tom Gray There's a place that I have found They don't care when you come around It's okay It's all right They're open all night Their back wall ain't got no clock And their front door ain't got no lock It's okay It's all right They're open all night So if your baby puts you out Ain't no sense wandering about It's okay It's all right They're open all night It's okay It's all right They're open all night (c)2015 Gray Matter Publishing

SPARK IN THE DARK By Tom Gray The teacher don't teach me and the preacher don't reach me They never could get through They ain't talking to me, they're just blowing right through me Nothing to hold on to I work every minute, there ain't no future in it It's about to wear me down And a night with the boys is a head full of noises And a room spinning round Then there's you The only one who Lights me up like a spark in the dark When you do what you do The people are talking and the radio's squawking They don't make sense to me The stuff that they're selling and the story's they're telling Like one and one makes three There's women around me, I ain't saying they hound me But some are looking fine The air's full of voices and the night's full of choices Still I walk the line Because of you The only one who Lights me up like a spark in the dark When you do what you do Then there's you, The only one who Lights me up like a spark in the dark When you do what you do Yeah, you The only one who Lights me up like a spark in the dark When you do what you do (c)2014 Gray Matter Publishing
