Baby when I met you the birds began to sing.

But now it's 2 years later Too much of a good thing.

I don't mean to be cruel, but I've got something to say I still love you baby.

But you got to go away.

I know this is a shock its too bad you got to leave.

Because when your arms go round my neck Theyre so tight I can't breathe The game you're running honey Ain't one I wanna play.

I still love you baby But you got to go away.

Absence make makes the heart grow fond Let's see if that's the case.

I don't care where you go.

Just get out of my space.

Just for future reference Let me tell you where this went south.

How can I kiss your lips when you won't shut your mouth?

Now your bags are packed and youre walking out the door.

and you say that if you leave, you won't be back no more.

To keep my sanity That's the price Id gladly pay.

I still love you baby, but you've got to go away.

Now it's eight months later, and you got a new ring You're trying to tell me that youre on to better things Well I say good for you Every dog should get its day.

I still love you baby but you got to go away.

I still love you baby but you got to go away.

yeah.

I still love you baby but you got to go away.

You said you was hurtin, Almost lost your mind cuz that girl you love she hurts you all the time When things go wrong, go wrong with you boy, it hurts me too You love her more, You should love her less why pick up behind her and take all her mess When things go wrong, go wrong with you boy it hurts me too she loves another yes I love you But you love her and stick to her like glue when things go wrong, go wrong with you.

it hurts me too You need to leave her she needs to put you down Im not going to stand here no more and watch you get pushed around but when things so wrong, go wrong with you boy, it hurts me too This next song in an original written by us and specifically for the lap steel guitar featuring Mr. Ben Rose.

This is Possum in the Shine I got the blues before sunrise.

tears standing in my eyes I got the blues before sunrise tears standing in my eyes It was a miserable feeling baby A feeling I do despise I got to leave.

Leave you, baby, because I know you done me wrong I got to leave you baby.

Because you know, youve done me wrong I'm gonna pack up and leave you darling and break up this happy home.

I got to leave Leave you baby I'm gonna leave you all alone.

Ive got to leave you baby.

I'm gonna leave You all alone.

I'm gonna pack up and leave you darling because you know youve done me wrong Well now goodbye.

Goodbye, baby.

I'll see you on some rainy day Well goodbye baby I'll see you on some rainy day You can go ahead now darling.

Because I want you to have your way.

This band, in all honesty, is what we consider the family band.

We all actually perform in other groups around town.

We're we're pretty much all around musicians.

We, the three of us, Ben Rose, Brian Foster and me.

We were actually at SFCC together, taking classes with the commercial music program there at the time back in 2000 to 2001.

2000.

Well I woke up this morning and I knew that everything would be just fine So I turned on the TV weatherman said thered be clouds in every sky but mine now I'm stuck in traffic.

That's okay because the man is playing our song.

So I roll down the windows.

Don't you know that everyone was singing along?

Theres no cold black night or a rainy day there aint nothin bad at all since your sun started to shine my way Well the boss man he tells me to stay 1 hour past after the whistle starts to blow.

But I don't have to worry, because you are with me wherever I go Theres no cold black night No rainy day.

there aint nothin bad at all since your sun started to shine my way.

You don't even need to say because I can tell it from the warmth of your rays theres no cold back night No rainy day.

There aint nothin bad at all since your sun started to shine my way.

theres no cold back night No rainy day.

There aint nothin bad at all since your sun started to shine my way.

remember when we first got together, you swore you'd never run around.

Well, I warned you that you better never, ever.

Cause if you did, I have to run you down Well I guess you thought I must have been joking.

cause you jumped at your very first chane Now, I really hope that other girl was smokin, but my band's cueing up for your last dance.

When I told you that I was leaving, you probably thought that I would just stay gone But I'll be seeing you when you least expect it.

So you'd better sleep with both eyes open from now on.

Now, your trying to tell me that your sorry but I know you're only sorry you got caught.

Well, I know you think that you have learned your lesson well what I'm gonna teach you, cant be taught When I told you that I was leaving you probably thought that I would just stay gone but Ill be seeing you when you least expect it so you better sleep.

with both eyes open from now on.

Did you think that I would find out?

Do you think that you're really that smart?

My head is telling me not to hurt you.

But I think this time I'm gonna listen to my heart when I told you that I was leaving.

you probably thought that I would just stay gone but I'll be seeing you when you least expect it.

So you better sleep with both eyes open.

better sleep with both eyes open.

better sleep with both eyes open.

From now on.
