Playlist The Jeff Healey Band

the jeff healey band - all along the watchtower

"There must be some way out of here",
said the joker to the thief
"There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief
Businessmen they drink my wine, plowman dig my earth,
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth"

"No need to get excited," the thief, he kindly spoke,
"There are many here among us who think that life is but a joke
But you and I, we've been through that, and that is not our fate,
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late"

All along the watchtower, princes kept the view,
while all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too
Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl,
two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl

the jeff healey band - angel eyes

Girl, you're looking, fine tonight,
and every guy has got you in his sights.
What you're doing, with a clown like me,
is surely one of life's little, mysteries

So tonight I'll ask the stars above,
"How did I ever win your love?"
What did I do?
What did I say,
to turn your angel eyes my way?

Well, I'm the guy who never learned to dance,
never even got one second glance
Across a crowded room was close enough,
I could look but I could never touch

So tonight I'll ask, the stars above,
"How did I ever win your love?"
What did I do?
What did I say,
to turn your angel eyes my way?

Don't anyone wake me,
if it's just a dream
'Cause she's the best thing,
ever happened to me

All you fellows, you can look all you like,
but this girl you see, she's leavin' here with me tonight

There's just one more thing that I need to know,
if this is love why does it scare me so?
It must be somethin only you can see,
'cause girl I feel it when you look at me

So tonight I'll ask the stars above,
"How did I ever win your love?"
What did I do?
What did I say,
to turn your angel eyes my way?
hey, hey, hey, yeah, awww

the jeff healey band - as the years go passing by

Yea, there is nothing I can do

That is one thing you can't deny
I gave you all I own
Honey, that is one thing you can't deny

the jeff healey band - badge

Thinkin' bout the times you drove in my car
Thinkin' that I might have drove you too far
And I'm thinkin' bout the love that you laid on my table

I told you not to wander round in the dark
I told you bout the swans that they live in the park
And I told you 'bout a kid now he's married to Mable

Yes, I told you bout the life goes up & down
Don't you notice how the wheel goes round?
And you better pick yourself up off the ground
Before they bring the curtain down,
yes, before they bring the curtain down, whoooa

Talkin' 'bout a girl that looks quite like you
She didn't have the time to wait in the queue
She cried away her life since she fell off the cradle

the jeff healey band - blue jean blues

I done run into my baby,
and finally found my old blue jeans
Well, I done ran into my baby,
and finally found my old blue jeans

I knew they was mine,
by the oil and the gasoline, yeah

If I ever get back my blue jeans,
well how happy could one man be?
I said, uh, if I ever get back my blue jeans,
well, how happy can one man be?
'Cause when I get back those blue jeans,
yeah, you know my baby,
will bring em home to me
Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

the jeff healey band - confidence man

Well, I lost you at the border,
when you crossed it
Had your number, baby,
but I lost it
I know your love,
was just a flimflam

Well, you can't pull the wool over me,
cause I'm a confidence man

I can talk old ladies,
out of all of their money
I can talk young girls,
into calling me honey
You can talk all you want, baby,
but I got fast hands
You're a real soft touch
but I'm a confidence man

I know your mother
Taught you how to bake cherry a pie,
and read a book
Your daddy
Taught you how to tell a lie,
and not get shook

Let me tell you somethin', baby
You better learn,
If you're gonna con the con man,
You're liable to get burned girl

Now, now, now,
We were stretched out on the floor, baby,
it's all elastic
But you stretched it too tight,
and it snapped like plastic,
and the pieces went flying across the badlands.

Well, you can't pull the wool over me,
'cause I'm a confidence man.

Now, maybe Chicago,
is where you're bound
But love is a cheap perfume,
it hangs around
And you roll the dice,
now let the bet stand

Well, you can't pull the wool over me,
'cause I'm a confidence man
No, you can't pull the wool over me,
'cause I'm a confidence man.
Said, you can't pull the wool over me,
'cause I'm a confidence man.

the jeff healey band - cruel little number

Well she's got to be a 20,
on a scale of 10
Walking on an edge,
that's razor thin
One in a million,
from her head to her toes
A hole in her heart,
as the next man's money goes

She's a cruel little number,
wild little weed
Momma's little princess,
daddy's bad seed
Mind of a maniac,
she's breaking all the rules
Cruel little number,
why do you have to be so cruel

She ain't tight with the ladies
She don't kiss and tell
She want a black Mercedes 500 SEL
She knows the scent of a dollar
Don't want a check in the mail
She blew the price of love
Right off the end of the scale

She's a cruel little number,
wild little weed
Momma's little princess,
daddy's bad seed
Mind of a maniac,
she's breaking all the rules
Cruel little number,
why do you have to be so cruel

Her heart can't be broken,
'cause it's stainless steel
You can beg, you can bargain,
but she's never going to cut you a deal

She's a cruel little number,
wild little weed
Momma's little princess,
daddy's bad seed
Mind of a maniac,
she's breaking all the rules
Cruel little number,
why do you have to be so cruel

the jeff healey band - don't let your chance go by

Well, in case you haven't noticed,
the girl's in love with you
But you just seem to ignore her,

Instead of looking the other way,
you outta give her the eye
'Cause if she wants to love you,
don't let your chance go by

Well, now look at her, man,
she got blue eyes and long blonde hair
And you know pretty girls like that,
you just don't see everywhere

Yeah, start cashin' in on your good fortune, boy
Go on and give her a try
'Cause if she wants to love you,
don't let your chance go by

Well, I've known you for a long time,
you know I don't give no jive
And I know she's got some loving,
that'll help keep you alive

Because if she wants to love you,
don't let your chance go by

Yeah, if she wants to love you, don't let your chance go by,
Whoa!

I say it again, don't let your chance go by
One more time!

the jeff healey band - evil and here to stay

I was born at midnight,
I was up running by dawn
Ain't nobody can stop me now,
'cause I was out the door and gone
Everybody knows you better,
try and keep outta my way
Because some people come and go,
but I'm evil and I'm here to stay

You know I can kill a man,
not even care
I can make love to you little girl,
till she just can't go nowhere
That's the way I live,
just fighting and lovin' day to day
You know some people come and go,
but I'm evil and I'm here to stay

Well get me a one way ticket,
on that road to hell
You ever try to cross me, man,
you ain't gonna live to tell
No, no you better listen to what I say
You know some people come and go,
but I'm evil and I'm here to stay

I said some people come and go,
but I'm evil and I'm here to stay

Well you better not try to cut me down,
'cause I'm evil and I'm here to stay

You give me ev'rything you got
Then take it away
You know you're driving me crazy
How long will I have to pay?
You keep me waiting endlessly in this misery
Hey!
Around and 'round your lovin' goes
Where it stops, ain't nobody knows
Full circle
You got me runnin' while you're keepin' me standing still
Full circle
Anything you want me to do, girl, you know I will
Girl, you know I will

When you cruise down the boulevard,
all the guys know your name
You get their engines runnin', yeah
They're all sparked by your flame

You tempt me with your burnin' fire,
lost in my desire, yeah
You don't know what you've out me through
It keeps me spinnin' when I can't have you

It's hard to get you out of my head
I try to set myself free
But just like a bad habit,

the jeff healey band - heart of an angel

No problem believing,
in what she can't understand or seeing
What she can't hold in her hand

Faith is her religion
You can see it in her eyes
When all the saints and the sinners,
stop to wave bye-bye

And the holy rollers,
come down from the sky

Chorus
She's got the heart of an angel,
but she cries like a little girl
She's got the heart of an angel
Well don't she cry, don't she cry, cry, cry

The sign said "Confession,
and redemption while you can"
She sought her salvation,
in the hands of a preacher man

He just took the money,
her innocence and pride
And left her on the doorstep,
with her heart cut open wide

The grand illusion,
just pushed her aside

She needs some healing,
She can't understand
That salvation,
is right in the palm of her hand
Hush, sweet baby,
your soul's in the sky

Hear of an angel,
sent to the heaven
Where all is forgiven,
she's got the heart of an angel
The world needs some healing,
for all to be forgiven
She's got the heart of an angel

the jeff healey band - house that love built

The bar was filled with smoke and lies,
I couldn't see a thing, it burned my eyes
I pushed a strange woman off my lap,
she had a snake tattooed on her back

The doors opened into the night,
the silence kissed my worried life
I heard a song comin' from the back,
it played over and over again

CHORUS

I stood just around the bend, over the hill,
across the river bed, one step closer to hell
If I forget about my past, forget about my guilt,
I go back to the house that love built, that love built

I went back to the bar again,
and headed straight for the band
I need to remember not to forget,
all the life and the love we had

So play that song and make it right,
get me out of this lonely night
Slapped all my money into his hand,
said play it over and over again

CHORUS

Let me come inside, baby,
let me come inside into the house that love built,
that love built, the house that love built,
the house that love built

the jeff healey band - how long can a man be strong

I've been a restless,
for a long, long time
Tryin' to find a home
for this heart of mine
The nights are lonely,
and the days are long
It?s hard to find a reason,
to carry on

But all this searchin',
is it ever gonna end?
Must I keep on losin',
again and again?

Tell me, how long can a man be strong?
How long must he carry on,
without the love of a woman,
to call his own?
Tell me, how long can a man be strong ?

It?s on every man?s mind,
to find that special girl
Some of them getta lucky
But I'm alone in this world

Still I know she?s out there somewhere
so I?m gonna keep on tryin?
Someday I?m gonna find her,
it?s just a matter of time

As long as I?ve been waiting,
I know she?s been waiting, too
Hold on a little longer,
I?m all the way to you

Now ever since this world began,
it takes a woman to make a man
Now I need someone!
Don?t you know I need someone?

Ooh

But all this searchin?,
is it ever gonna end?
Must I keep on losin?,
again and again and again?

Yeah
Oh keep on waiting
Oh noooo
Yeah

the jeff healey band - how much

One candle burns brightly,
it flickers and it almost dies like me
Alone against the wind
But this moment has magic,
it's keeping that flame alive as we hold on to the night
Well, there'll be another day,
we'll have another chance but not like this

No, nothing can compare to the way that I feel right now
Do you feel the same way as I do, then tell me how
How strong do you want it to be?
How do you want to hear it from me?
How long, baby, tell me, how deep?
How much love do you want from me?
Ooh

Somebody must have scared you,
left you wounded and afraid to love again
You are just like me
But nobody's ever held me so close, so desp'rately,
and I never held anybody like you
How much love do you want from me?
How much love do you want from me?
Ooh

How much love do you want from me, yeah?
How strong do you want it to be?
How do you want to hear it from me?
How long, baby, tell me, how deep?
How much love, do you want from me?
Ooh

How much love do you want from me?
Ooh
