They say that getting better it's a better bet to take that giving ups' forgiven but You're better off awake I might be mistaken if I’m dead or making deals but the devil he's making sure it hurts You as it heals They tell You quit Your drinking if You think it’s right for You just to quiet down and diet see a shrink and change your view but it's never all that easy and its stranger than it feels and the devil he aims to please he's going to hurt You as it heals every winner loses leaves until the spring some are falling just to crawl out of the ring they'll see, they'll see Me I’m getting better writing letters everyday to a man that I’ve a plan to be to get her just to stay if she decides to leave me stopping us to spin her wheels You better just believe Me it'll hurt but it'll heal.

Everytime 02:34
this is how it happens everytime I do all the work & You drink all the wine should you stand up, fight for Yourself or keep on living looking for greater wealth I know You're saying it's a hard hard road but You know lately baby that’s the way things go if You can't believe it’s finally come to this don't stop running Ill cross Your name off the list it aint nice living a hobo life I live right out of paper with my hobo wife I do believe that I’ve had it up to hear but hell it’s My fault I drank all those years so brush Your hair darling I’m coming over but I don’t really care what You look like I just want to sit with You and drink some coffee please don't try to scratch My back.

You'd sit me down on the left side of the sofa I'd get corduroy grooves in My arms from leaning towards the records spinning feeling You'd sit in that black chair and watch it all Stay until the second side is over time goes faster than a race car down a track help Your mother clear the table and pump Your breaks when you live to fast I'd stay right there on the left side of the sofa till You let me turn the records when I was tall it's alright ma I’m only bleeding I got a name and those Beach Boys surfing songs hey son tomorrow after dinner would You play catch with Your old man? If the sun is still out after dinner I'd love to play catch with You Dad Stay until the second side is over time goes faster than a race car down a track help Your mother clear the table pump Your breaks when You live too fast come on outside when You are able pump Your breaks when You live too fast

Suit 02:21
Lately everytime the phone rings it's someones next of kin it's good to get some good news I look forward to Your wedding This dirty black old suit of Mine never sees the sun theres mud around the cuffs and the shoes could use a shine I know We're older but You always were My friend I know what We've been through I know where it ends We used to get lost on the highway and every single time We were talking about right now and where We'd be tonight now if We don't talk for five months I know where You've been working Your ass off to try n make a living You used to cry on My shoulder You always were My friend I know We've been through I know where it ends We've both got dark sides, demons, and down time the path is layerd with land mines and We're walking in the dark We talk less now that We're older but You always were My friend I know what We've been through I know where it ends

Shotgun 02:30
some people drive fast most show late You're right with those people Love You don't signal or break Your brights stay on long over the hill You ride my ass like a boss man from hell Your will is the rule the road never breaks let me ride shotgun so I’m out of the way some people won’t last and some will have faith but We're all with those people together in the same boat on a bottomless lake take the corner and the curve drift on the line I feel like I'm going to hit every light on the way back home for the rest of My life
6.
Take it Easy 02:30
Take it easy with Me Take it easy We can Take it nice and slow cause We can’t take it when We go Take it easy I've been running for a long time never stopped to catch My breath well look here's a lover no here’s a lady who knew Me better than i knew Myself can you feel me Take it easy because life can be tough take it easy I don’t like My love rough take it easy I can't tell You enough but If You want to come and see Me well I've got the magic touch she said she needs Me take it easy

about

Pete Jive Naperville, Illinois

When Pete Jive sings, charisma glides out of him and hugs you. Jive's gyrating, crazy legs maneuvers,
turn-on-a-dime leaving two nickels syncopated rhythms, and punchy lyrics will heart-imprint you. A Pete
Jive performance is an all-in, no one left seated affair, where Jive locks eyes, ears, legs, voice, fingers,
and rapt attention around his audience.
