Mayonnaise is one of my favorite SP songs. Good one.

I'm lying here for hours
Can't get my eyes to close
Can't get one moments peace
To save my dog-gone soul
I've been doin' more than drinkin'
Tryin' to ease my pain
Everywhere I go
Somebody speaks your name
Oh my friends keep on askin'
Boy whats a wrong with you
I say I'm worried
Worried down with the blues
Try to be a good man
Work my fingers to the bone
Oh and you return the favor
By reckin' oh a happy home
Why'd you play so many dirty tricks
I lost my faith in you
And now you want me to take you back
Whats a poor man supposed to do?
Im worried down with the blues
I feel like I was born to lose
I used to walk with pride
and my head held high
And now I'm starin' down at my shoes
Yes Im worried
Worried down with the blues
You made me turn my back
On my very best friend
And when my back was turned
You were messin' around with him
Still I'd give up everything
Just to have you by my side
In the cold cold nights when I reach for you
All I'm holdin' is my foolish pride
Can't get my eyes to close
Can't get one moments peace
To save my dog-gone soul
I've been doin' more than drinkin'
Tryin' to ease my pain
Everywhere I go
Somebody speaks your name
Oh my friends keep on askin'
Boy whats a wrong with you
I say I'm worried
Worried down with the blues
Try to be a good man
Work my fingers to the bone
Oh and you return the favor
By reckin' oh a happy home
Why'd you play so many dirty tricks
I lost my faith in you
And now you want me to take you back
Whats a poor man supposed to do?
Im worried down with the blues
I feel like I was born to lose
I used to walk with pride
and my head held high
And now I'm starin' down at my shoes
Yes Im worried

You were messin' around with him
Still I'd give up everything
Just to have you by my side

There are a couple contenders on Isbell’s Southeastern. I think Yvette is the winner, but Elephant is in the running. I had a hard time learning Yvette; not because it is hard, but the lyrics are rough.
Yvette - Jason Isbell
Verse 1]
I can barely make out
A little light from the house
On the cul-de-sac
Bedroom upstairs
It's a family affair
[Verse 2]
I've watched you in class
Your eyes are cut glass
And you stay covered up
Head to your toe
So nobody will notice you
Chorus]
I might not be a man yet
But that bastard will never be
So I'm cleaning my Weatherby
I sight in my scope
And I hope against hope
I hope against hope
Verse 3]
Your mother seems nice
I don't understand why
She won't say anything
As if she can't see
Who he turned out to be
[Chorus]
And I might not be a man yet
But your father will never be
So I load up my Weatherby
And I let out my breath
And I couple with death
I couple with death
Verse 4]
Saw your father last night
And in the window the light
Made a silhouette
Saw him hold you that way
He won't hold you that way anymore, Yvette

The car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel
And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
And a dark wind blows
The government is corrupt
And we're on so many drugs
With the radio on and the curtains drawn
We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
And the machine is bleeding to death
The sun has fallen down
And the billboards are all leering
And the flags are all dead at the top of their poles
It went like this:
The buildings tumbled in on themselves
Mothers clutching babies picked through the rubble
And pulled out their hair
The skyline was beautiful on fire
All twisted metal stretching upwards
Everything washed in a thin orange haze
I said: "kiss me, you're beautiful -
These are truly the last days"
You grabbed my hand and we fell into it
Like a daydream or a fever
We woke up one morning and fell a little further down -
For sure it's the valley of death
I open up my wallet
And it's full of blood
And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
And a dark wind blows
The government is corrupt
And we're on so many drugs
With the radio on and the curtains drawn
We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
And the machine is bleeding to death
The sun has fallen down
And the billboards are all leering
And the flags are all dead at the top of their poles
It went like this:

And pulled out their hair

You grabbed my hand and we fell into it
Like a daydream or a fever

For sure it's the valley of death

And it's full of blood

I turn and walk away then I come 'round again
It looks as though tomorrow I'll do pretty much the same
I must turn down your offer but I'd like to ask a break
You know I'm ready to give everything for anything I take
Someone called my name you know I turned around to see
It was midnight in the Mission and the bells were not for me
Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain
Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain
Ten years ago, I walked this street my dreams were riding tall
Tonight I would be thankful Lord, for any dream at all
Some folks would be happy just to have one dream come true
But everything you gather is just more that you can lose
Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain
Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain
All the things I planned to do I only did half way
Tomorrow will be Sunday born of rainy Saturday
There's some satisfaction in the San Francisco rain
No matter what comes down the Mission always looks the same
Come again, walking along in the Mission in the rain

Another one
Sunshower by Chris Cornell:
Dark as roses, and fine as sand
I feel your healing and your sting again
I hear you laughing and my soul is saved
On forgotten graves you cry
Crawl like ivy up my spine
Through my nerves and into my eyes
Cuts like anguish or
Recollections of better days gone by
But it's alright
When you're all in pain
And you feel the rain come down
Oh, it's alright
When you find your way
Then you see it disappear
Oh, it's alright
Though your garden's grey
I know all your graces
Someday will flower
Woawoa Woawoa
In a sweet sunshower
In a sweet sunshower
Eyes like oceans so far away
A feather trail to a better way
Worried mornings turn into days
Then into worried nights
But it's alright
When you're all in pain
And you feel the rain come down
Oh, it's alright
When you find your way
Then you see it disappear
It's alright
Though your garden's grey
I know all your graces
Someday will flower
Woawoa Woawoa
Sweet sunshower
Oh, in a sweet sunshower
Oh, in a sweet sunshower
In a sweet, sweet, sweet sunshower
Oh, oh
I know all your graces
Someday will flower
In a sweet
In a sweet sunshower
It's alright
All you'll be you are today, are today
It's alright
All you'll be you are today, are today
Are today
Are today
Are today
Are today
This song has always been one of my favorite Chris Cornell songs. It has been played over and over when facing dark times.

In spite of the way you were mockin' me
Actin' like I was part of your property
Rememberin' all the times you fought with me

Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me in the end

There are places I'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all
But of all these friends and lovers
There is no one compares with you
And these memories lose their meaning
When I think of love as something new
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them
In my life I love you more
In my life I love you more
-Lennon/McCartney

My father died a year ago today
The rooster started crowing when they carried Dad away
There beside my mother in the living room I stood
With my brothers and my sisters knowing Dad was gone for good
Well, I stayed around just long enough to lay him in the ground
And then I caught a plane to do a show up north in Detroit town
Because I'm older now, I ain't got no time to cry
I've got no time to look back, I've got no time to see
The pieces of my heart that have been ripped away from me
And when the feeling starts to coming, I've learned to stop 'em fast
'Cause I don't know if I let 'em go they might not want to pass
And there's just so many people trying to get me on the phone
And there's bills to pay and songs to play and a house to make a home
And I'm older now, I ain't got no time to cry
I can still remember before there was a Merle
So many things have changed so much here in my world
I remember sitting on the front yard when an ambulance went by
And just listening to those sirens I would break down and cry
But now I'm walking, I'm talking, doing just what I'm supposed to do
Working overtime to make sure I don't come unglued
'Cause I'm older now, I ain't got no time to cry
I go lay down on the sofa and I watch the evening news
There's a half a dozen tragedies from which to pick and choose
The baby that was missing was found in a ditch today
And there's bombs a'flying and people dying not so far away
I'll take a beer from the 'frigerator and go sit out in the yard
And with a cold one in my hand I'm gonna bite down and swallow hard
'Cause I'm older now, I ain't got no time to cry
It's true, I guess I'm older now, I just ain't got no time to cry

Well I swear your perfume, baby, is made out of turnip greens
Every time I kiss you girl, it tastes like pork and beans
Even though you're wearing those uptown high heels
I can tell from your giant step, you've been walking through the cotton fields
Ohhhhhh you're so down home girl
.
.
.
Every time you monkey, child, it takes my breath away
Well, every time you move like that, girl, I got to get down and pray
Girl, you know that dress you're wearin' made out of fiber glass
Every time you move like that, girl, I got to go to Sunday mass
Ohhhhhh you're so down home girl
I'm going to take you to the muddy river and push you in
So I can watch the water roll on down your velvet skin
I'm gonna take you down to New Orleans, down in Dixie land
So I can watch you do the second line with an umbrella in your hand
Ohhhhhh you're so down home girl
Every time I kiss you girl, it tastes like pork and beans
Even though you're wearing those uptown high heels
I can tell from your giant step, you've been walking through the cotton fields
Ohhhhhh you're so down home girl

Living on the road my friend
Was gonna keep you free and clean
And now you wear your skin like iron
And your breath as hard as kerosene
Weren't your mama's only boy
But her favorite one it seems
She began to cry when you said goodbye
And sank into your dreams
Pancho was a bandit boy
His horse was fast as polished steel
He wore his gun outside his pants
For all the honest world to feel
Pancho met his match you know
On the deserts down in Mexico
Nobody heard his dying words
Ah but that's the way it goes
All the Federales say
They could have had him any day
They only let him slip away
Out of kindness, I suppose
Lefty, he can't sing the blues
All night long like he used to
The dust that Pancho bit down south
Ended up in Lefty's mouth
The day they laid poor Pancho low
Lefty split for Ohio
Where he got the bread to go
There ain't nobody knows
All the Federales say
They could have had him any day
We only let him slip away
Out of kindness, I suppose
The poets tell how Pancho fell
And Lefty's living in cheap hotels
The desert's quiet, Cleveland's cold
And so the story ends we're told
Pancho needs your prayers it's true
But save a few for Lefty too
He only did what he had to do
And now he's growing old
All the Federales say
We could have had him any day
We only let him go so long
Out of kindness, I suppose
A few gray Federales say
We could have had him any day
We only let him go so long

Thought it was a nightmare
But lawd it's all so true
They said do't go walkin slow
The devil's on the loose
Better run through the jungle
Better run through the jungle
Better run through the jungle
and don't look back to see
Thought I heard a rumblin
Callin me by name
200 million guns loaded
Satan cries take aim
Better run through the jungle
better run through the jungle
Better run through the jungle
Don't look back..

An old man kneeling all alone
Plants his flowers in a garden of stone
For seven years now she's been gone
And his devotion is still going strong
