J’arrête de m’en faire J’en prend, j’en laisse J’peux pas toujours plaire Des fois c’est juste des paroles en l’air Faut que j’commence à m’y faire J’fait à ma manière J’reste à l’écoute sans devenir amer Des fois c’est juste des p’tits commentaires Que j’avale de travers Si l’malheur des uns Fait l’bonheur des autres J’dois en rendre une gang heureux À essayer de remonter la côte J’ai encore d’la misère Quand l’ton lève, d’apprendre à me taire Quand monte le stress, de redescendre sur terre De me mêler de mes affaires Laisse toi pas distraire Par mon absence, je retiens ça de mon père Mes habitude de loup solitaire Qui surveille ses arrières Si l’malheur des uns Fait l’bonheur des autres J’dois en rendre une gang heureux À essayer de remonter la côte

Big Bad Bill 04:00
In the town of Louisville lived a man they call Big Bad Bill I want to tell ya, he sure was tough He certainly did strut that stuff He had folks scared to death When he walked by they all held their breath He was a fighting man, well sure enough Now Bill got himself a wife, just to lead a different life... Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now Married life has changed him somehow He's the one they all used to fear Now the people call him Sweet Papa, Willie Dear Stronger than Samson, I declare 'Til my sister Delilah bobbed his hair Big Bad Bill don't fight anymore He's washing dishes, he mops up the floor He used to spend his evenings looking for a fight Now he's gotta see his mama every night Big Bad Bill is Sweet William now

I've got what it takes But it breaks my heart to give it away It's in demand, They want it every day! I've been saving up for a long, long time To give it away would be more than a crime Your eyes may roll, your teeth may grit, But none of my money will you get You can look at my bank book But I'll never let you feel my purse Keep your hands away baby, I believe in safety first You may want my money, Here's the plan I've been saving up with my girlfriend Angie I've got what it takes But it breaks my heart to give it away

Somebody stole my gal
 Somebody stole my belle
 Somebody came and took her away, 
She didn't even say she was leavin'

 Her kisses I miss so 
He's getting them I know Oh Gee! I know that she 
was mean to me, I’m broken hearted
 I’m just a broken hearted pal, somebody stole my gal

I've got the words I've got the tune I've been rehearsing under the moon But I've got nobody to hear my song So I'm hummin' to myself I've got the place I've got the time I've got a lot of love words that rhyme But I've got nobody to hear my song So I'm hummin' to myself Mmm mmm mmm mmm I guess it just had to be Mmm mmm mmm mmm Won't somebody listen to me? I've got the words and I've got the tune I'd like to croon it under the moon But I've got nobody to hear my song So I’m hummin’ to myself

J’ai perdu ma blonde de Memphis Elle est partie en Caroline Je l’sait avec qui elle est partie Avec mon meilleur ami J’ai pas d’argent pour prendre le train Maintenant elle doit être rendu loin J’l’aimais bien ma blonde de Memphis J’ai jamais été aussi triste Dis moi, pourquoi t’es partie Pourquoi, avec mon meilleur ami J’trouverais jamais une autres fille Qui va lui arriver à la cheville J’l’aimais bien ma blonde de Memphis J’ai jamais été aussi triste

Smoke Rings 03:19
Where do they go, The smoke rings I blow each night? what do they do, Those circles of blue and white? Why do they seem to picture a dream above? Why do they fade my phantom parade of love? Puff, puff, puff Puff your cares away Puff, puff, puff Night and day Blow, blow them into air Silky little rings Blow, blow them everywhere Give your troubles wings

Oh love, oh love, oh, loveless love Has set our hearts to gold-less gold From milk-less milk and silk-less silk We are growing used to soul-less souls Such grafting times we never saw That's why we have a pure full law In everything we find a flaw Even love, even love, oh, loveless love
