I Could Fall 04:35
I'm not here to add you to my number I'm not here to let you through my wall I've been scared to climb out of my slumber But its possible for you I could fall Long ago I loved like I had never Never known the way it hurts so bad Letting go of this might take forever But its possible for you I could fall Playing a game well its just a protective Procedure to keep me from getting too hurt I could be more than you ever imagined If its possible for me you could fall

Hey now honey feel the beat of my Hillbilly Soul Loosy goosy like a tremble and a rattle and roll take my hand and cut a rug until you lose a control There's a fever as we groove by the light of the moon Chuggin and a huggin on the dance floor the fever consume If you ain't got moves that's okay I'ma lay down the boom You be movin then I got that Hillbilly Soul x 4 Hey now honey feel the beat of my Hillbilly Soul get on wit it now Keep on moving keep your feet flying up in the air Chug-a-chug motion and the wind flying up in your hair Low down thumpin of the upright and guitar blare Hey now honey feel the beat of my Hillbilly Soul Loosy goosy like a tremble and a rattle and roll take my hand and cut a rug until you lose a control Here we go ya'll

Holding on to something that we once had Grasping for anything that is now in the past But you know it's over, all our love has died And the fire went out CHORUS We are flames that burned out a long long time ago We are flames that died, I feel so paralized We have changed We made love we gave it our best shot, you and I We are flames I don't want to let go, I don't want to fight You can say you're sorry, until you're red in the eye There is nothing left here We must say goodbye Because the fire went out BRIDGE Where did this go wrong These feelings don’t belong Do you really have to go? One more broken dream It makes me want to scream Do you ever feel the same? Baby you and I we are flames
5.
I am not your man Still you take from me like fruit from a tree I am not your man now set me free oh yeah These confrontations These allegations I refuse to absorb but it’s not up to me Oh my feet won’t stay on the ground And I am not your property And I won’t ever be Beware of that woman Avoid her evil ways Go not down that corridor into the land of your dismay We were meant to be wild and free Break away from what keeps you down All these shackles and chains
6.
There's nothing left I've given you everything I'll be on my way in just a little while but before I go I just want to let you know I thought we would be forever Never thought this love would see an end I thought you and I would be forever but it doesn't look that way I know they say real men don't cry But I can't hold back the tears Where do I go I'm lost with no destiny I don't understand what happened to us dear Like a flatline tone I feel so all alone CHORUS cause I know there's still something here I don't understand what happened to us dear I feel so alone CHORUS cause I know there's still something here
7.
Freedom 04:31
Ten years underneath your thumb Paraphrasing from a loaded gun Ten years underneath your cold cold thumb Projecting out of every scene Like a movie that we’ve never seen Ten years underneath your cold cold scene Freedom Won’t you come knocking at my door I’m a man with an open heart I want to love you but its much too hard You’re a woman with a broken cold cold heart Pay attention not to cross this line You’ll see it when you see my eyes You’ll see it even through your cold cold eyes I spent ten years underneath your thumb Ten years and I’ve got to run Ten years believing your lies Ten years looking in your cold cold eyes
8.
Are you gonna be alright? I wish that I was there to kiss you good night Its like magic when you speak into my heart But I can tell that you wear oh so many scars And I don’t know you now Baby I don’t think I ever did And I don’t know you now Baby I don’t think I ever will again bend the truth for a time At least you’re still mine There’s a sorrow that you wear across your head Maybe someday I can put this thing to bed CHORUS How do I go on with out you? Where am I supposed to find the strength to ease my mind? And I don’t want to feel this empty I know I’ll find a way to live for another day CHORUS
9.
I could look into your face forever But I can see the outlaw in your eyes When I kissed you yesterday I felt your heart pull away I'll pretend I'm wrong just one more day I know that you're leaving and I know that you're gone Just hold on for one more night so I can prove you wrong With all the life that we've been through It's hard to understand But I know that you're leaving darling, I know I know you're gone Sometimes in the night I watch you sleeping Hoping you are dreaming about me Well I've seen it all before but I'm trying hard to ignore I am not the dream your heart is for

about

Hillbilly Soul, the debut album from CPO & Co., is a rock album that embodies its title with simple heartbreakers only country music gets right, alongside soul tracks, which like the songs of Ray Charles, combine rock and roll, gospel, and rhythm and blues in a way that pulls people to their feet by their hips. Songs like “We are Flames” and “I Can’t Hold Back the Tears” play with the easy rolling melodies and songwriting deftness of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. Chris Paul Overall’s (CPO) vocals in “I Don’t Know You Now” are close to angelic, the harmonies saturating. This album invites you to the dance floor in a 1950’s honky-tonk (“Hillbilly Soul”), sings the songs of your broken heart porch-side on a balmy night (“I Could Fall”), and lifts you up, down and all around with the spiritual sway of gospel and blues (“I’m Not Your Man”). Hillbilly Soul boasts great players like guitarist Marc Ford (Black Crowes, Ben Harper), and John Bazz of The Blasters on upright bass, was produced by Antoine Arvizu (Marc Ford and The Neptune Blues Club, Ryan Bingham) and was recorded, mostly live in studio, at The Compound in Long Beach, CA.
