Maria Daines - Ain't You The Man

Spark to the fuse, moth to a flame
Here I am again, wondering why I came
Here at your door, shoes in my hand
Oh boy, ain’t you the man
Her dress on the chair, yeah she been here
Your eyes show the love, you won’t look at my tears
And I can’t make it right and I can’t understand
Oh boy, ain’t you the man

And if I tried to make it right, you’re too far gone n’ in too hard
She’s tamed you in the night, I’m on the edge, I’m out too far
Won’t take my hand, won’t make a stand
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, ain’t you the man

Lost in the rain, tried n’ tried again
Can’t come here no more for your poison n’ pain
Turn the page outa luck, ahh best laid plans
Oh boy, ain’t you the man
You think you know best, oh but she’s like the rest
All high heels n’ shine, you gonna find out in time
Over and out, before it began
Oh boy, ain’t you the man

And if I tried to make it right, you’re too far gone n’ in too hard
She tamed you in the night, I’m on the edge, I’m out too far
Won’t take my hand, won’t make a stand
Oh boy, oh boy, ain’t you, ain’t you the man
Ain’t you the man, ain’t you the man
Breakin’ hearts n’ havin’ a good time yeah
Oh boy, ain’t you the man

The Lucky’

I’m all I ever was
You’re all you want to be
Lord I’ve tried and I have failed, yeah
It’s true you see right through me
Oh how to reach you on the fly
To catch a dead man’s eye

Call me crazy call me out
I’m comin’ for you in the rain
In the tears and all your sorrows
There’s no smoke without a flame
And the lucky they can pray
And the lost will have their day

Keep your wits on the prize boy
And don’t go rockin’ this boat
Ain’t gonna make it inside or out
Without a little whisky in my throat
Take your hate and your cheap deal love
Give it up for the cause
Girl don’t do what the bad man says
She gonna do what she wants

Keep your wits on the prize boy
And don’t go rockin’ this boat
Ain’t gonna make it inside or out
Without a little whisky in my throat
Take your hate and your cheap deal love
And give it up for the cause
Girl don’t do what the bad man says
She gonna do what she wants

Took the devil’s advice
And you ask who cares
A world of guilt and someone waiting
And the trees count the years
Now there’s nobody on your side
To catch a dead man’s eye

I’m all I ever was
You’re all you want to be
Lord I’ve tried and I have failed, yeah
It’s true you see right through me
Oh how to reach you on the fly
To catch a dead man’s eye
