Just Fine

Hello my friend
Oh what a day it’s been
Pour me a drink and spend a little time
Because that would be just fine
I told my dear
To wipe away her tears
For I feared we didn’t have much time
To make up our worries minds
Could I take her on the town
Could she let her hair hang down
If it’s elsewhere that she feels bound
Then I won’t keep her
Who would have thought
I’d be doing what I ought
All the lessons I was taught as a child
Will they keep me from running wild
Could I ever be
The man she sees in me
Well I don’t see but I ain’t done trying
She probably thinks I’m lying
Could I take her on the town
Could she let her hair hang down
If it’s elsewhere that she feels bound
Then I won’t keep her
Hello my friend
Oh what a day it’s been
Pour me a drink and spend a little time
Because that would be just fine

Let it Rain

If you ain’t got love
Then you ain’t got much
And that’s just what we got
Rise above from what it once was
Giving love one more shot
Let it rain, let it pour
Wash me and remind me
Of what I’m living for
With this pain, time is gonna heal
And ease my worried mind I know it will
Yeah it surely will
If you ain’t got love
It will rot your core
And soon enough you won’t be here anymore
Through the hard times
I know a means to an end
The only way is love my friend
Let it rain, let it pour
Wash me and remind me
Of what I’m living for
With this pain, time is gonna heal
And ease my worries mind I know it will
Yeah it surely will
If you ain’t got love
You can have some of mine
And that light we need is bound to shine

Good for You

Come here baby
Won’t you come here quick
Those mistake I made
They made me sick
Like they ought to
When my rambling is through
That ain’t good for me it ain’t good for you
Hold my hand
Read my plans
Allow me to be your everyday man
Like I wanted to
When my rambling was through
That ain’t good for me it ain’t good for you
Choose your side
Where you’ll confide
When that shit hits the fan don’t you run and hide
Like I used to do
When my rambling was through
That ain’t good for me it ain’t good for you

Looking Behind
04:22
|

|
The dollar you have ain’t got nothing on my dime
Cause I’m gonna call my baby when I get through the line
The moments wasted forsaken hands of time
It’s funny how we see things clearly looking behind
Swallow my courage and make my way toward the phone
Tell her of what not to do before she’s grown
I could tell how sorry I am for leaving lone
Uprooting the foundation of a happy home
Go do what you say and say just what you mean
Doing and saying ought to be the same
Mistakes will be made don’t fill your heart with blame
Go do what you love but don’t do your loving in vain
I did what I could and now I fear it’s too late
To change for the good, I feel I sealed my fate
It’s funny how we have to deal with the choices we make
Enough change for the call with a little hope left for change
Her words stood me tall and left me rearranged
Those memories we share will hold hands with time
Go on living your life but don’t go live it like mine
It’s raining now baby but the sun is bound to shine
It’s funny how we see things clearly looking behind

Child of Mine
05:10

Long is the road
Please take your time as you go
I’ll help carry the load
Strange are the times
Don’t let that light in your eyes make you blind
Stay close to the line
Child of mine
You’ll be fine
Cold is the rain
Things they are bound change
My love still remains
Swift is the time
Make it worth it on your dime
You’re one of a kind
Child of mine
You’ll be fine
Take your time
Kind is your soul
Carry it with you where you go
It can’t be bought or sold
Watch for the signs
Sometime they come in disguise
As if by design
Child of mine
You’ll be fine
Take your time
Stars do shine
Child of mine

Unconditional Love
03:18
|
|||
|
Well baby, I’ve been thinking about you
And I could not help but hang my head to cry
Darling, I don’t doubt you
But I believe that you’ll never be satisfied
I don’t need no angel
Or no heaven above
Only thing that I need little darling is
Unconditional love
Unconditional love, unconditional love
I want your kisses and hugs
Don’t want no pushing no shoves
Unconditional love
Now baby, you know I love you
But I hate to see that old look upon your face
Darling, there ain’t no one above you
So tell me why you feel like you’re losing some kind of race
Now my mind is like a thunderstorm
Just pouring rain out of my eyes
Because your words burn and scorn
Even though your man tried
So I, go back working
Lace up my boots and throw on my gloves
And when I get home baby
Please give my just a little
Unconditional love

Dead Roses
03:42
|

|
He crossed this land with the sun, stars and the wind
Surely that town had changed since the last time he rode in
A woman was the reason he left
The same woman was the cause of his return
That’s what happen when there’s nothing left
Or when the flame still burns
Once she had asked him to show her their love in example
He said please turn your head and address the dead roses on the mantle
They’re wilted just like my body
They’re dying just like our love
Please won’t you tell nobody
That it came to push and shove
Now this here’s a story of a lonesome man that you might know
Because a woman he keeps his pride and his troubles in tow
But he wakes up early to draw his pay
Where it all goes a thousand miles away
To his heart where he once called his home
But now he’s all alone

Stuck on the Inside
03:28
|

|
Do you recall
Those memories on the wall
The feeling when you fall
In love for the first time
Because I don’t
I’ve got the feeling that I won’t
Like a house that’s scared to haunt
And I’m stuck on the inside
But when your world is full of darkness
And you’ve lost the will to fight
Remember that the darkness
Is just another kind of light
Have you seen
What I was supposed to find
Those pieces left behind
Or the places that we’re going
If I’m mean
Or treat you unkind
Just know that my mind
Has giving up on knowing
When your world is full of darkness
And you’ve lost the will to fight
Remember that the darkness
Is just another kind of light

Bayou Betty

Bayou Betty, ever since she fed me
Keeps me steady coming back for more
From the backwoods to the levy
She’ll lay it on you heavy
Even lay you down a pallet on her floor
She’ll drive you plume crazy
With her alligator gravy
And her wild ox tail gumbo stew
Keeps that fiya jambalaya
Goodness gracious me-o-my-o
Makes it better than her own Mama Roux
Do you wanna go
Yonder see Bayou Betty
Hoodoo do si do
Honey I think I’m ready
I’m bound to have a fit
When she gets to making shrimps and grits
I ain’t gonna quit til she says I’m done
She makes a poor boy wanna holler
Once he gets him a big ol swallow
Of that sweet Mississippi Delta muddy water spiced rum
It just don’t taste the same
Once you get past Lake Ponchartrain
Brown sugar mama gonna ease my pain
When I come knocking on her door
She knows I’m hungry for more
Listen up because I’ll tell you what
I ain’t no cissy but I sure do strut
And I strut just like you ain’t never seen
But now I’m sitting hoping and wishing
She’d come on in my kitchen
Bayou Betty just a churning that sugar cream
Of all the places throughout the land
There’s a creole queen that will make you a man
The last thing I do before I die
Gonna keep it good and natural
Right out my gris gris satchel
Bayou Betty with some chocolate pecan pie
Do you wanna go
Yonder see Bayou Betty
Hoodoo do si do
Honey I think I’m ready

Nothing but Love
03:56
|

How in the hell have you been
I can’t even remember when
Last time that I saw your face
How could I erase
Guess I’ve had enough
One thing before you go
I want you to know
I’ve got nothing but love
Looks like we’ve taken different roads
How are the seeds that’s you’ve sown
Good times just like yesterday
Funny how they slip away
But they’re not too far gone
Before we so so long
No rights, no wrongs
I got nothing but love
I want you to know
That I’m grateful for
The times we had
Until we meet again
You’ll always be my friend
Just know I’m glad
Bid farewell for happy trails
And blessings raining down from up above
But most of all
If you need me call
I’ve got nothing but love

Won’t be Long
03:05
|

|
My mind is longing just to wander
Be kind, come back from over yonder
It won’t be long now
No telling what we’re bound to find
My mind
My dear, I hate to leave you lone
I fear, for the seeds we’ve sown
It won’t be long now
Don’t want to live my life in fear
My dear
I still think about you
And I get so proud
Next time I hear your name
I’m gonna shout it out loud
My friend, I hate to see you go
Peace and blessings on your soul
It won’t be long now
I do believe we’ll meet again
My friend

Drew Foust North Carolina
A natural soul singer and blues musician, Drew Foust’s music sounds like it’s made between the bleary hours of a rock bar’s last call and a southern preacher’s early morning prayer. Hand made, self-made and arranged in dramatic structure, the music is lyrical and rhythm driven, always pushing a feeling forward. His latest release, “Good Thing,” is inspired by old school-southern soul music. ... more
