Some people don't want to see you happy Some people wanna see you squirm and some people got a funny way of thinking that you'll only be good if it's on their terms If they wanna climb down from their high horse I could show 'em where they oughta be I could bend on over they can kiss my ass but they're gonna have to pay a fee
'Cause I'm doing my Midwest Best it's the only way I know to do and well you might think it's a big ole mess but honey I'm right on cue
Yeah, watch out world here comes your girl This tornado's coming through
And I'm not doing my Midwest Best for you
I may not be your brand of mess but baby I ain't no fool and if I can only please one person a day well it looks like it won't be you Now sit on back and watch me go that's when you will see your can always enjoy this show but honey I do this for me
'Cause I'm doing my Midwest Best it's the only way I know to do and well you might think it's a big ole mess but honey I'm right on cue
Yeah, watch out world here comes your girl This tornado's coming through
And I'm not doing my Midwest Best for you
Sometime I get all up into this little head of mine And some of the things I say to myself ain't always kind You can't listen to people always talkin shit they'll fill your head with lies I say I'll do me and you do you and everything will be alright
'Cause we're doing my Midwest Best it's the only way I know to do and well you might think it's a big ole mess but honey I'm right on cue
Yeah, watch out world here comes your girl This tornado's coming through

Last Chance

I was standing at the kitchen sink It was 4am hadn’t slept a wink
When I saw you stumbling up the drive
You can’t run around in a town this small
Without word getting round and stories growing tall Didn’t take long to see through your lies
Sure I’ve been known to be too kind I’ve learned some lessons 1 too many times
But I won’t be a fool for you my love ain’t blind
You done missed your last chance baby Dont you stand there calling me crazy
You had your shot and you got it all wrong
And I’m better off alone now that’s a fact Out the door you ain’t coming back
'Cause you done missed your last chance
That weekend by the lake is out the door The song you wrote smashed on the kitchen floor
All those promises made going down the drain And the light through the window it ain’t dawn It's the glow from the fire I set on the lawn
ending your lies setting me free
You done missed your last chance baby Dont you stand there calling me crazy
You had your shot and you got it all wrong
And I’m better off alone now that’s a fact Out the door you ain’t coming back
'Cause you done missed your last chance
You thought you’d be coming back even after all that with just one sorry and a little romance
Well you could grovel you could say please you could beg all night down on your knees
But honey no you done missed your one and only chance
You done missed your last chance baby Dont you stand there calling me crazy
You had your shot and you got it all wrong
And I’m better off alone now that’s a fact Out the door you ain’t coming back
'Cause you done missed your last chance

You say that you're leaving, you remind me all the time
You say you won't come back, even if you change your mind
You say that you're sorry, and that you never meant it bad
but I gave you my world and all the best years that I had
And baby there will come a day When every thing you love has left and gone away. And I swear I'll take every piece of you I think that I can break
So go ahead and get out
Babe do you remember when the summer turned to fall
I'd whisper in your ear and you would run when I would call
And now it's getting colder and you don't love me anymore.
Me and penny won't be scratching at your back door
baby there will come a day When every thing you love has left and gone away. And I swear I'll take every piece of you I think that I can break
So go ahead and get out
Get out, go on, you'd better hit the road before the light is gone
and I told you not to worry but I was wrong you don't deserve me
Get out I know I never thought I'd see the day when you would go
but it's here and so am I. Get myself together remember
That baby there will come a day When every thing you love has left and gone away. And I swear I'll take every piece of you I think that I can break
So go ahead and get the hell out

I Do Not

I've been thinking about what you asked me tonight
And sure I'd make a real pretty bride and a loving wife
and I hadn't thought what my answer would be
until I saw you get down on one bended knee
I do I do I do not want to marry you
I'd be the better to your worse, ain't that the truth
As anyone could tell we'd live a life of sickness and hell
I swear to you it's the truth I don't want to marry you
All these years you just sitting around getting high
Well I guess I got a cloud of smoke covering my eyes
cuz I don't know how I thought you'd be the one for me
Now I'm walkin out this door don't you dare follow me
cuz I do I do I do not want to marry you
I'd be the better to your worse, ain't that the truth
As anyone could tell we'd live a life of sickness and hell
I swear to you this very day no's what I have to say
As anyone could tell we'd live a life of sickness and hell
I swear to you it's the truth I don't want to marry you
And I'm not gonna marry you

Get Out of This Town

I've got a ticket on my car every time I turn around And it’s hard not feeling broke next to the richest man in town and I know that winter’s coming lord it always gets me down I think it’s time I pack up and head on out
Do you wanna get out of this town tonight before I go insane I could take you down south where everybody knows my name forget this concrete jungle we’ve got yards a mile wide Take my hand if you’re my man cause I’m leaving tonight
If you never left home you’ll know what I mean when I say there’s some ladies out there who are experts at your history They saw the car you pulled up in and the truck you’ll get in to leave I think it’s time we pack up and head to the city
Do you wanna get out of this town tonight before I go insane we could head up north where ain’t nobody knows your name Forget this small town drama we’ll have a skyline a mile wide Take my hand if you’re my man 'cause I'm leaving tonight
Sometimes it don’t matter where you’re at or where you’ve been You've gotta pack and head on out to begin again
Do you wanna get out of this town tonight before I go insane I can take you to a place where everybody knows our names Forget all our worries we’re gonna dance 'em all away Take my hand if you’re my man and I'll hold you close Hold you close tonight Yeah I'll you close tonight

Post-Hope Blues

You said baby what are we gonna do I said if I see trouble I ain't cutting you loose and sure as shit you brought me straight to hell My brain went to mush I couldn't see the signs that I'd lose it all if I lost my mind now I'm sitting here thinking what the hell went wrong
The Post-Hope Blues ain't nothing new when you lead with your heart and not with your boots and I never was one to take my time You'll be leaving I'll have tears in my eyes but as momma says I'll be alright that's just what they call the post-hope blues
He looked at me with those big brown eyes and I said oh honey I've known these lies but he kissed my head and said it'd be just fine Now I know the devil ain't like me or you 'cause I swear he's walking around in cowboy boots just waiting to ask me for another try
yeah, The Post-Hope Blues ain't nothing new when you lead with your heart and not with your boots and I never was one to take my time You'll be leaving I'll have tears in my eyes but as momma says I'll be alright that's just what they call the post-hope blues
He'll lift you higher than you've ever been before and by the time you're thinking this is it he'll be walking out your door
And he'll leave you the post-hope blues
You know them, the post-hope blues
