JILLIAN
now when I saw her standing right across the street
she looked like someone that I'd like to meet
so in the dark of night when I'm fast asleep
thats when she'll come and see me in the dreams that I keep
but then my dream is over now
cause I looked out my window
and that night is gone
and the morning has come along
so then I'll grab my cup and pour some coffee thats black
and then I'll start to wish but I cant get back
until my day is done and I'm lying in my bed
thats when she'll come and see me cause shes in my head
Jillian
when will I see her
jillian
I want to know her
god I cant get over

Facts of life
Now heres a little story bout the facts of life
talkin bout the girls or your friends or a wife
its all been written history bringing pleasure or strife
when sampson met delilah he was a powerful man
if anyone could do it you know he can, saving all the people with the wave of his hand
then one day delilah walked on by, winking & a blinking with that look in her eye
gave him her number to the house down town
told him dont be fighting & pushing temples down
sampson comes up with a knock on the door
they went rolling around all night on the floor
when sampson fell asleep she cut off all his hair
he woke up had no strength cause his head was bare
thats the facts o life pretty as you please
thats the facts of life she'll bring you to your knees
thats the facts of life whooaaaaaoooaa
when marc met cleo he was a powerful man, if anyone could do it you knowed he can
leading all his armies with the wave of his hand
then one day in old egypt, cleo passed him by with a swaying hip
he held her in his arms and his breath did start
told her he would love her till death do part

well things got sticky, marc got in a jam, leo played rome
for the heart of that man, she lied to ol marc, and said I'll meet you in heaven
so he took his own life and old cleo let him
when bill met hillary he was a powerul man
if anyone could do it well you knowed he can
saving all the world with the wave of his hand
one day when bill stepped in the oval office
there was standing an intern novice
you know she was wearing a pretty blue dress
and thats when things turned to a mess
well hill got mad and she set bill down
said to ol bill we'll be the talk o the town
if they throw you out the door we cant pay the rent
I guess I'll have to run for president

Queen of the county fair
Riding painted wooden ponies on a merry go round
night time is magic at the county fair grounds
tight blue jeans a pressed white shirt
and raven black hair shes the queen of the county fair
working sun up till sun down daddy plows in the dirt
she patches his work pants and stitches his shirts
cleans up after dinner she does what she can
since momma ran off with that fast talking man
two brothers two sisters
she calls them by name a raisin in her family its one in the same
no time for her friends some people will say
just 15 years old but she never complains
well today doesnt know what tommorow may bring
but life carries on and the song birds still sing
shes the queen of the county fair
Working GirlI knew the first time that I saw youYou didn't seem like all the restHow could I know that when I kissed youThat I'd be judged second bestNow we're clearing off the table& laying down the rulesHow could I know that on the first moveYou'd kick me in the family jewelsTwo lips could change my mind, I'll get it right this timeI want to be on top of the world, I think I'll find a working girlHanging out with all the high-brows, in your polite societyHanging on to that fast train, I watched my life go down the drainCause fittin in with the Jones' was not my kind of funmy mouth is empty, dry, & speechless, I think I'll fill it with a gunFeeling tired, lost, & helpless, Love vanished in the smokeI got a brand new realization, That I'm the punchline of this joke
Working Girl
I knew the first time that I saw you
You didn't seem like all the rest
How could I know that when I kissed you
That I'd be judged second best
Now we're clearing off the table
& laying down the rules
How could I know that on the first move
You'd kick me in the family jewels
Two lips could change my mind, I'll get it right this time
I want to be on top of the world, I think I'll find a working girl
Hanging out with all the high-brows, in your polite society
Hanging on to that fast train, I watched my life go down the drain
Cause fittin in with the Jones' was not my kind of fun
my mouth is empty, dry, & speechless, I think I'll fill it with a gun
Feeling tired, lost, & helpless, Love vanished in the smoke
I got a brand new realization, That I'm the punchline of this joke
