I Tried

Well darlin' I've been drinkin' 'bout you lately
and all the things that you said I didn't do
and the last thing that I wanted to do was hurt you
because I know the love we had was true
I tried
I tried for you
You said smokin' cigs was gonna kill me
and the smell they left behind was no good
so I made up my mind to try to quit them
all because you simply asked me to
I tried
I tried for you
Well I tried to make you happy
And quit my natural ways
And I tried to be a good man
But I just can't live this way
I tried
I tried for you
My ramblin' ways always made you lonely
So I tried to hang my hat and stay for good
I sold my truck and bought ourselves a Chevy
On Sundays I went ramblin' 'round with you
I tried
I tried for you

Mind On You

It gets hard sometimes when you feel so low
and you ain't got the crutch of the pills no more
I'm just missin' that feelin' runnin' through my vains
It shakes the thoughts right off of my weary ol' brain
One rainy night you left me and that was that
No you never said shit no you never text back
And I'm wondering all the time if there's something I can do
Now I'm all strung out on the memory of you
I'm hoping and praying that I see it all through
Girl, I wake up every mornin' with my mind on you
Well all I recall was a Cadillac
And I was begging sweet mama won't you drive on back
I'm just losin' my mind and walkin' the floor
'cause baby when you left you cut me down to the core
I'm hoping and praying that I see it all through
Girl, I wake up every mornin' with my mind on you
Now I'm drinking 'cause I'm thinkin' you done left town
You had the sweetest damn lovin' I ever found
I get a real cold sweat in the middle of the night
In my dreams it's all good but it ain't in real life
I'm hoping and praying that I see it all through
Girl, I wake up every mornin' with my mind on you

Loves Me So

Well if you don't love me like the way I love you
There ain't much more this man can do
I think it's time I packed up and go
'cause I'm lookin' for a Love that loves me so
Girl you play with my heart like every day
You say that you love me then you go out and play
You know just what you're doing and it hurts me to say
Make up your mind or I got to go away
Girl I wish that I would leave you but my heart's so weak
I feel like a square and I feel like a freak
You always mistreat me and you know it ain't right
But there ain't no match for your lovin' at night
Well if you don't love me like the way I love you
There ain't much more this man can do
I think it's time I packed up and go
'cause I'm lookin' for a Love that loves me so
You're a Honky Tonk Angel and you ain't been true
You love to dance around and you love to screw
The problem with that is I do too
Well if you don't love me like the way I love you
There ain't much more this man can do
I think it's time I packed up and go
'cause I'm lookin' for a Love that loves me so

Joe Wortell & The Natural Law Chicago, Illinois
Joe Wortell & The Natural Law are a five-piece classic outlaw country band from Chicago that play clever and inspired arrangements fusing subtle hints of blues, surf, r&b, and pop with the great songs of Hank, Waylon, Merle, Cash and beyond. These, along with their finely crafted originals, can veer into spirited improvisational jams but never stray too far from the essence of a great song. ... more
