  1. Rockin’ Around (With You)

    Lyrics: Rockin’ Around (With You)

    Why be lonely
    Why be blue
    You got me babe, I got you
    And I can't stop thinkin' 'bout you
    How I dig rockin' around with you
    
    I was waiting
    You came through
    You knew no one else will do
    And I can't stop thinkin' 'bout you
    How I dig rockin' around with you
    
    You know I dig rockin' around
    You know I dig rockin' around
    You know I dig rockin' around
  2. Breakdown

    Lyrics: Breakdown

    It's alright if you love me
    It's alright if you don't
    I'm not afraid of you running away
    Honey, I get the feeling, you won't
    
    There is no sense in pretending
    Your eyes give you away
    Something inside you is feeling like I do
    We've said all there is to say
    
    Baby
    Breakdown, go ahead, give it to me
    Breakdown, honey take me through the night
    Breakdown, now I'm standing here, can you see?
    Breakdown, it's alright
    It's alright
    It's alright
    
    Breakdown, go ahead, give it to me
    Breakdown, honey take me through the night
    Breakdown, now I'm standing here, can you see?
    Breakdown, it's alright
    It's alright
    It's alright
  3. Hometown Blues

    Lyrics: Hometown Blues

    Baby can't wait, baby gotta go
    Gotta do a number on a late night show
    Do a little song, do a little dance
    Gonna make the best of her big chance
    
    It don't really matter if she don't or if she do
    Just tryin' to make the best of the hometown blues
    Blues
    
    I gotta friend, gotta little girl
    Say she's the best in the whole wide world
    Said it's so good, said it so unreal
    Might not last, but it's no big deal
    
    It don't really matter if she don't or if she do
    Just trying to make the best of the hometown blues
    Blues
    
    Baby, save me, save me
    Save me with your sweet smile
    Honey, I really need your
    To help me kill a little bit of time
    
    All of the girls run with the crowd
    They go wild when the lights go down
    They gotta little money, little in a dream
    Wanna be the queen of their little scene
    
    Don't really matter if they don't or if they do
    They're trying to make the best of the hometown blues
    Blues
    
    Blues, blues, blues, blues
  4. The Wild One, Forever

    Lyrics: The Wild One, Forever

    Well the moon sank as the wind blew
    The street lights slowly died
    They call you the wild one, said stay 'way from her
    Said she could love no one if she tried
    
    But then something I saw
    In your eyes told me right away
    That you were gonna have to be mine
    When the strangest feeling came over me
    Down inside no matter what it takes
    I'll never get over how good it felt
    When you finally held me
    I'll never regret
    Baby those few hours
    Will grow in my head
    Forever
    
    Well it's too bad, but I want you
    To know I understand
    Yeah, it's been a long time but I don't mind
    Yeah, it's all right I understand
    
    Because something I saw
    In your eyes told me right away
    That you were gonna have to be mine
    When the strangest feeling came over me
    Down inside I knew right away
    I'll never get over how good it felt
    When you finally kissed me
    I'll never regret
    Baby those few hours
    Will grow in my head
    Forever
  5. Anything That’s Rock ’n’ Roll

    Lyrics: Anything That’s Rock ’n’ Roll

    Some friends of mine and me stayed up all through the night
    Rockin' pretty steady till the sky went light
    And didn't go to bed
    Didn't go to work
    I picked up the telephone
    Told the boss he was a jerk
    
    Your mama don't like it when you run around
    With me
    But we got to hip your mama
    That you got to live free
    Don't need her. Don't need school
    You don't like your daddy and you don't like rules
    
    So, c'mon baby let's go
    Don't you hear the rock 'n' roll playin' on the radio
    Sound so right?
    Girl your better grab hold
    Everybody's got to know
    Anything that's rock 'n' roll's fine
    Anything that's rock 'n' roll's fine
    
    Oh oo oh my little baby
    I'm a little bit shakin'
    I'm a little bit crazy
    But I know what I want
    I wanna it right now
    While the 'lectric guitars are playin' way up loud
    
    C'mon baby let's go
    Don't you hear the rock 'n' roll playin' on the radio
    Sound so right?
    Girl your better grab hold
    Everybody's got to know
    Anything that's rock 'n' roll's fine
    Anything that's rock 'n' roll's fine
  6. Strangered in the Night

    Lyrics: Strangered in the Night

    Well it was dark at midnight
    There was hardly any moon
    And no one really saw much
    No one was really sure
    But something didn't seem right
    Something was kinda queer
    A roar turned into whispers
    Everyone stood there
    
    As the sound split the ngiht
    They ran hiding from the light
    Like strangers in the night
    Like strangers in the night
    
    Well I didn't see no shotgun
    I didn't see no knife
    But I saw this crazy black guy
    With the demon in his eye
    And I heard him say "white man"
    I've seen that silver cue
    You don't remember me well
    But I remember you
    
    As the sound split the night
    They ran hiding from the light
    Like strangers in the night
    Like strangers in the night
    
    Well the knife just left his fingers
    As the black guy took his aim
    White guy's head exploded
    The black gut howled in pain
    Then everybody scattered
    I heard some woman scream
    God damn you old black bastard
    You've blown away my dreams
    
    As the sound split the night
    They ran hiding from the light
    Like strangers in the night
    Like strangers in the night
  7. Fooled Again (I Don’t Like It)

    Lyrics: Fooled Again (I Don’t Like It)

    Strange voice on the telephone
    Telling me I better leave you 'lone
    Why don't somebody say what's going on
    Uh oh, I think I been through this before
    
    Looks like I'm the fool again
    Looks like I'm the fool again
    I don't like it
    I don't like it
    
    You never said you had no number two
    I need to know about it if you do
    If two is one I might as well be three
    It's good to see you think so much of me
    
    Looks like I'm the fool again
    Looks like I'm the fool again
    I don't like it
    I don't like it, no
    
    Look out!
    
    You never said you had no number two
    I need to know about it if you do
    If two is one I might as well be three
    It's good to see you think so much of me
    
    Looks like I'm the fool again
    Looks like I'm the fool again
    I don't like it
    I don't like it
    I don't like it
    I don't like it, oooow
    
    Look out!
    
    I don't like it
    I don't like it
    I don't like it
  8. Mystery Man

    Lyrics: Mystery Man

    Don't hide from me baby
    Shame on you
    Incognito honey you're so crude
    I don't mind
    Take me hand
    Baby I wanna be your mystery man
    
    Yeah you got ruby lipstick
    Rose petal rouge
    And dime store jewelry
    Cheap perfume
    I don't mind, take my hand
    Honey I wanna be your mystery man

    Oh you know I do, you i do

  9. Luna

    Lyrics: Luna

    White light cut a scar in the sky
    Thin line of silver
    The night was all clouded with dreams
    Wind made me shiver
    Black and yellow pools of light
    Outside my window
    Luna come to me tonight
    I am a prisoner
    Luna glide down from the moon
    
    The clouds are all silver and black
    Floating around me
    Luna come into my eyes
    Luna surround me
    With black and yellow pools of light
    Fall by my window
    Luna come to me tonight
    I am a prisoner
    Luna glide down from the moon
    
    The clouds are all silver and black
    Floating around me
    Luna come into my eyes
    Luna surround me
    With black and yellow pools of light
    Fall by my window
    Luna come to me tonight
    I am a prisoner
    Luna glide down from the moon
  10. American Girl

    Lyrics: American Girl

    Well, she was an American girl
    Raised on promises
    She couldn't help thinking that there
    Was a little more to life somewhere else
    
    After all it was a great big world
    With lots of places to run to
    Yeah, and if she had to die trying
    She had one little promise she was gonna keep
    
    Oh yeah, alright
    Take it easy, baby
    Make it last all night (make it last all night)
    She was an American girl
    
    Well, it was kinda cold that night
    She stood alone on her balcony (ooh)
    Yeah, she could hear the cars roll by out on 441
    Like waves crashing on the beach
    
    And for one desperate moment there
    He crept back in her memory
    God, it's so painful, something that's so close
    Is still so far out of reach
    
    Oh yeah, alright
    Take it easy, baby
    Make it last all night (make it last all night)
    She was an American girl

You’re Gonna Get It! (1978)

  1. When the Time Comes

    Lyrics: When the Time Comes

    This might sound strange, might seem dumb
    Depends on the side that you take it in from
    Depends on the time, depends on the day
    Depends on a lot of things, who can say
    
    I just want to let you know that I will stand by you
    Through whatever might come, wherever you run
    Will you stand by me when the time comes
    
    Baby do you understand, am I making this clear
    Are you tuning me out cause I'm coming off weird
    Well I don't care that's all right
    That's okay, I don't mind
    
    I just want to let you know that I will stand by you
    Through whatever might come, wherever you run
    Will you stand by me when the time comes
    
    This ain't the right time to say what's on my mind
    I know, but I look in your eyes
    And there is no real life at all
    Baby hold on
    
    And someday soon you'll come around
    You know where I can be found
    When you heart feels right, seek me out
    We can talk more then babe, but right now
    
    I just want to let you know that I will stand by you
    Through whatever might come, wherever you run
    Will you stand by me when the time comes
  2. You’re Gonna Get It

    Lyrics: You’re Gonna Get It

    I don't want you, no more
    Ain't gonna give any more than you give to me
    I don't want you, it's too hard
    Can't try any harder than you try for me
    
    You're gonna get it babe, I should've quit it babe
    But you look so good, yeah you do
    You do, you do, you do, you do
    To think that something might change
    But I was just a fool
    
    Go, go to somebody else like you do to me
    I don't want you, can't crawl
    I can't crawl any further
    You never crawled for me
    
    You're gonna get it babe, I should've quit it babe
    But you look so good, yeah you do, you do
    Honestly you do babe
    To think that something might change
    But I was just a fool
    
    You're gonna get it, baby
    You're gonna get it, baby
    You're gonna get it, baby
    You're gonna get it, baby
    
    You're gonna get it
    You're gonna get it
    You're gonna get it
    ...
  3. Hurt

    Lyrics: Hurt

    I walked to the window
    Turned out the light
    Looked at the city
    Went back through the night
    Yeah, I stood in the darkness
    Stood all alone
    Thank God for California
    Thank God I'm going home
    
    {Chorus}:
    That's right, you hurt me baby
    Hurt me good
    Hurt me like no one else ever could
    Cut me down the middle
    
    Face down in the dirt
    And we both know
    It's too late to save it
    Betcha feel proud about it baby
    You taught me how to hurt
    That's right
    
    DC-10, 10: 45
    Halfway to LA, red in the eyes
    You might be the devil
    Might just be his friend
    It don't make no difference
    You ain't gettin' me again
    
    {Chorus}
  4. Magnolia

    Lyrics: Magnolia

    From a table across the room
    She was signaling me with her eyes
    I walked over to be introduced
    I said, "Hello", she just smiled
    And said, "I know a place
    Not too far from here
    We could get away for a while"
    Yeah, that's when she kissed me
    And told me her name
    I never did tell her mine
    
    Magnolia
    I remember the smell
    Of the wind through the sweet Magnolia
    And I know that she's out there
    Somewhere in the world
    She's forgotten me but I remember her
    Magnolia
    
    Well her lips were as warm
    As that wet southern night
    Her eyes were as black as the sky
    And I wondered aloud
    Just what I had done right
    As I lay there, with her by my side
    Then she took hold of my hand
    As she looked up at me
    And said, "Now I must tell you goodbye"
    And there in the moonlight
    As I watched her leave
    I felt a chill down inside
    
    Oh, Magnolia
    I remember the smell
    Of the wind through the sweet Magnolia
    And I know that she's out there
    Somewhere in the world
    She's forgotten me but I remember her
    Magnolia
    
    I remember the smell
    Of the wind through the sweet Magnolia
  5. Too Much Ain’t Enough

    Lyrics: Too Much Ain’t Enough

    Looks like you got a little more to lose
    Now a little more at stake
    I see you have a hard time
    Livin' with the change
    You've got me up in line now
    Tryin' to call your bluff
    You just won't be satisfied
    Too much ain't enough
    It ain't enough, it ain't enough
    
    You're standing by the telephone
    Waitin' for the word
    And ever since that bathroom scene
    There's been a slight concern
    I'm trying' to make this easy baby
    You seem to like things rough
    You just can't be satisfied
    Too much ain't enough
    It ain't enough, it ain't enough
    
    Too much baby ain't enough no way
    Too much baby ain't enough no way
    Come on baby I'm down on my knees
    Guess some little girls just can't be pleased
    
    Little miss queen of hear ts you're a strange thing
    Why you wanna stay so vague?
    I'm wanderin' through this mess you made
    To see what I can save
    I'm livin' on the line now
    Tryin' to call your bluff
    But you just won't be satisfied
    Too much ain't enough
    It ain't enough, it ain't enough
    It ain't enough, oh it ain't enough, no no it ain't enough
  6. I Need to Know

    Lyrics: I Need to Know

    Well the talk on the street

  7. Listen to Her Heart

    Lyrics: Listen to Her Heart

    You think you're gonna take her away
    With your money and your cocaine
    You keep thinking that her mind is gonna change
    But I know everything is okay
    
    She's gonna listen to her heart
    It's gonna tell her what to do
    She might need a lot of loving
    But she don't need you
    
    You want me to think that I'm being used
    You want her to think it's over
    You can't see it doesn't matter what you do
    Buddy, you don't even know her
    
    She's gonna listen to her heart
    It's gonna tell her what to do
    She might need a lot of lovin'
    But she don't need you
    
    And you just can't creep up behind her
    And you can't understand that she's my girl
    She's my girl
    
    Yeah, she's gonna listen to her heart
    It's gonna tell her what to do
    She might need a lot of lovin'
    But she don't need you
  8. No Second Thoughts

    Lyrics: No Second Thoughts

    She threw down her golden band
    Crushed it with her feet into the sand
    Took her silent partner by the hand
    Yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah
    
    Somewhere near the edge of town
    She said she was torn and turned around
    Can you help me cast this evil down
    Yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah
    
    We'll drive for the line now
    There's nothing to be lost
    You and I will cross over
    With no second thoughts
    
    We'll drive for the line now
    There's nothing to be lost
    You and I will cross over
    With no second thoughts
    
    Dreams fade, hope dies hard
    She cups her eyes
    Looks out at the stars
    Says, "I feel we've travelled very far"
    Yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah
    Yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah
    Yeah yeah, oh yeah yeah
  9. Restless

    Lyrics: Restless

    I don't belong to no one
    I don't belong at all
    Got my face in the corner
    Got my back to the wall
    
    And pretty baby I'm restless, restless
    Restless through and through
    I'm restless, restless
    You look restless too
    
    I'm a hair trigger lover
    And I can't face up to nothing
    I'm impatient with the wind
    But I'm waiting here for somethin'
    
    Pretty baby I'm restless, restless
    Restless through and through
    I'm restless, restless
    You look restless too
    
    Restless sleep, twisted dreams
    Moving targets, silent screams
    Restless city, restless street
    Restless you, restless me
    
    I'm a face at the window
    I'm a black satin sheet
    And I can't stay warm
    I stay out in the street
    
    And pretty baby I'm restless, restless
    Restless through and through
    I'm restless, restless
    You look restless too
  10. Baby’s a Rock ’n’ Roller

    Lyrics: Baby’s a Rock ’n’ Roller

    My baby is a rock 'n' roller
    My baby is a rock 'n' roller
    Yeah and that's all
    If she ever wants to be
    
    So why you tryin' to come on with this sophistication?
    She don't wanna know about your education
    Man she don't care about the United Nations
    My baby's gone on a rhythm sensation
    That's all she ever wants to be
    
    My baby is a rock 'n' roller
    
    She can't take any stupid friends of yours
    She ain't gonna go through all of that no more
    She don't wanna be no dental assistant
    Man she got the rhythm and she can't resist it
    That's all that she ever wants to be
    
    My baby is a rock 'n' roller
    My baby is a rock 'n' roller
    My baby is a rock 'n' roller
    My baby is a rock 'n' roller
    
    My baby is a rock 'n' roller
    My baby is a rock 'n' roller
    My baby is a rock 'n' roller

  1. Refugee

    Lyrics: Refugee

    We got something, we both know it
    We don't talk too much about it
    Ain't no real big secret all the same
    Somehow, we get around it
    
    Listen, it don't really matter to me, baby
    You believe what you want to believe
    
    You see, you don't have to live like a refugee
    (Don't have to live like a refugee)
    
    Somewhere, somehow
    Somebody must have kicked you around, some
    Tell me, why you wanna lay there
    And revel in your abandon
    
    Honey, it don't make no difference to me, baby
    Everybody's had to fight to be free
    
    You see you don't have to live like a refugee
    (Don't have to live like a refugee)
    Now baby, you don't have to live like a refugee
    (Don't have to live like a refugee)
    
    No!
    Baby we ain't the first
    I'm sure a lot of other lovers' been burned
    Right now, this seems real to you
    But it's one of those things you gotta feel to be true
    
    Somewhere, somehow
    Somebody must have kicked you around, some
    Who knows, maybe you were kidnapped
    Tied up, taken away and held for ransom
    
    Alright! It don't really matter to me, baby
    Everybody's had to fight to be free
    
    You see you don't have to live like a refugee
    (Don't have to live like a refugee)
    No, you don't have to live like a refugee
    (Don't have to live like a refugee)
    Now you don't have to live like a refugee
    (Don't have to live like a refugee)
  2. Here Comes My Girl

    Lyrics: Here Comes My Girl

    You know sometimes, I don't know why
    But this old town just seems so hopeless
    I ain't really sure but it seems
    I remember the good times
    Were just a little bit more in focus
    
    But when she puts her arms around me
    I can somehow rise above it
    Yeah, man when I got that little girl
    Standing right by my side
    You know, I can tell the whole wide world
    To shove it, hey
    
    Here comes my girl
    Here comes my girl
    Yeah, and she looks so right
    She is all I need tonight
    
    Every now and then I get down to the end of the day
    I'll just stop, ask myself
    Why I've done it?
    It just seems so useless to have to work so hard
    And nothing ever really seem to come from it
    
    And then she looks me in the eye and says
    "We're gonna last forever and ever"
    And you know I can't begin to doubt it
    No, 'cause it just feels so good and so free and so right
    I know we ain't never going to change our minds about it, hey
    
    Here comes my girl
    Here comes my girl
    Yeah, and she looks so right
    She is all I need tonight
    
    Watch her walk
    
    Yeah every time, it seems like there ain't nothing left no more
    I find myself having to reach out and grab hold of something
    Yeah, I just catch myself wondering, and waiting, and worrying
    About some silly little thing that don't add up to nothing
    
    And then she looks me in the eye, and says
    "We're gonna last forever and ever"
    And you know I can't begin to doubt it
    No, 'cause it just feels so good and so free and so right
    I know we ain't never gonna change our minds about it, hey
    
    Here comes my girl
    Here comes my girl
    Yeah, and she looks so right
    She is all I need tonight
    
    That's right
    That's right
  3. Even the Losers

    Lyrics: Even the Losers

    Well, it was nearly summer, we sat on your roof
    Yeah, we smoked cigarettes and we stared at the moon
    And I showed you stars you never could see
    Babe, it couldn't have been that easy to forget about me
    
    Baby, time meant nothin', anythin' seemed real
    Yeah, you could kiss like fire and you made me feel
    Like every word you said was meant to be
    No, it couldn't have been that easy to forget about me
    
    Baby, even the losers
    Get lucky sometimes
    Even the losers
    Keep a little bit of pride
    They get lucky sometimes
    
    Two cars parked on the overpass
    Rocks hit the water like broken glass
    I shoulda known right then it was too good to last
    God, it's such a drag when you live in the past
    
    Baby, even the losers
    Get lucky sometimes
    Even the losers
    Keep a little bit of pride
    They get lucky sometimes
    
    Baby, even the losers
    Get lucky sometimes
    Even the losers
    Keep a little bit of pride
    Yeah, they get lucky sometimes
    
    Baby, even the losers
    Get lucky sometimes
    Even the losers
    Get lucky sometimes
    
    Even the losers
    Get lucky sometimes
  4. Shadow of a Doubt (A Complex Kid)

    Lyrics: Shadow of a Doubt (A Complex Kid)

    There goes my baby, there goes my only one
    I think she loves me, but she don't wanna let on
    Yeah, she likes to keep me guessin'
    She's got me on the fence with that little bit of mystery
    She's a complex kid and she's always been so hard to figure out
    Yeah, she always likes to leave me with a shadow of a doubt
    
    Sometimes at night I wait around 'til she gets off
    She don't like workin', she says she hates her boss
    But she's got me askin' questions, she's got me on the fence
    With that little certain something, she's a complex kid
    And she's always been so hard to get around
    Yeah, she always likes to leave me with a shadow of a doubt
    Just a shadow of a doubt, she says it keeps me runnin'
    I'm trying to figure out if she's leadin' up to something
    
    And when she's dreamin', sometimes she sings in French
    But in the morning, she don't remember it
    But she's got me thinking 'bout it
    Yeah, she's got me on the fence
    With that little bit of mystery, she's a complex kid
    
    And she's always been so hard to live without
    Yeah, she always likes to leave me, with a shadow of a doubt
  5. Century City

    Lyrics: Century City

    Sometimes I wanna leave you
    Sometimes I wanna go
    Right back where I came from
    Back where I belong
    But it never lasts for too long
    Always goes away
    Well I still don't look for reasons
    That's much too hard these days
    
    Why worry about the rain
    Why worry about the problem
    Honey, Century City's
    Got everything covered
    
    Well your mama gave you lovin'
    Mama held you near

    Why worry about your father
    Why worry about your mother
    Honey Century City's

    Sometimes I feel so down
    Sometimes I get so worried
    But I don't know what about
    But it works out in the long run
    Always goes away
    And I've come now to accept it
    It's a re-occuring phase
    
    Don't worry about the rain
    Don't worry about the problem
    Honey, Century City's
    Got everything covered

  6. Don’t Do Me Like That

    Lyrics: Don’t Do Me Like That

    I was talking with a friend of mine
    Said a woman had hurt his pride
    Told him that she loved him so
    And turned around let him go
    
    Then he said you better watch your step
    Or you're gonna get hurt yourself
    Someone's gonna tell you lies
    Cut you down to size
    
    Don't do me like that
    Don't do me like that
    Well, I love you, baby
    Don't do me like that
    
    Don't do me like that
    Don't do me like that
    Someday I might need you, baby
    Don't do me like that
    
    Listen, honey, can you see
    Baby, you would bury me
    If you were in a public eye
    Giving someone else a try
    
    And you know you better watch your step
    Or you're gonna get hurt yourself
    Someone's gonna tell you lies
    Cut you down to size
    
    Don't do me like that
    Don't do me like that
    Well, I love you, baby
    Don't, don't, don't, don't
    
    Don't do me like that
    Don't do me like that
    What if I need you, baby?
    Don't do me like that
    
    'Cause somewhere deep down inside
    Someone is saying, love doesn't last that long
    I got this feeling inside, night out and day in
    And now I can't take it no more
    
    Listen, honey, can you see
    Baby, you would bury me
    If you were in a public eye
    Giving someone else a try
    
    And you know you better watch your step
    Or you're gonna get hurt yourself
    Someone's gonna tell you lies
    Cut you down to size
    
    Don't do me like that
    Don't do me like that
    Well, if I love you, baby
    Don't, don't, don't, don't
    
    Don't do me like that
    Don't do me like that
    I just might need you, honey
    Don't do me like that
    
    Don't do me like that
    Don't do me like that
    Baby, baby, baby
    Don't, don't, don't, don't
    
    Don't do me like that
    Don't do me like that
    Baby, baby, baby
    Oh, oh, oh
  7. You Tell Me

    Lyrics: You Tell Me

    Baby, I heard thunder
    I woke up, middle of the night
    Baby I saw fire
    I went left, I went right
    
    So you tell me what you want me to do
    This might be over honey
    It ain't through
    Let me know
    When you're finished with me
    What you want me to be
    Baby, you tell me
    Honey, you tell me
    
    Baby, I don't understand this
    But that's alright
    I can take a little pain
    I've been winnin' and losin'
    Baby, I've been in and out of the rain
    
    So you tell me what you want me to do
    This might be over honey
    It ain't through
    Let me know
    When you're finished with me
    What you want me to be
    Baby, you tell me
    Honey, you tell me
    
    Well you put me through
    Your paces and your twists
    Until I felt like dying
    Yeah, the last thing that I needed
    Was to finally realize
    That you were lying
    
    So you tell me what you want me to do
    This might be over honey
    It ain't through
    Let me know
    When you're finished with me
    What you want me to be
    Baby, you tell me
    Honey, you tell me
    
    Baby, you tell me
    Will you tell me
  8. What Are You Doin’ in My Life?

    Lyrics: What Are You Doin’ in My Life?

    Well you followed me all around New York City
    Tryin' to make people think I wanted you with me
    I can only hope that they didn't believe you
    I can't figure out why I got to deal with you
    
    What are you doin' in my life?
    What are you doin' in my life?
    What are you doin' in my life?
    I didn't ask for you
    
    I don't know how you got my telephone number
    Probably some jerk tryin' to put me under
    Some friend of a friend of a friend of mine
    Baby who you tryin' to fool when you tell those lies?
    
    What are you doin' in my life?
    What are you doin' in my life?
    What are you doin' in my life?
    I didn't ask for you
    
    Well this is all a little too much to believe
    You're puttin' my name all around in the street
    Honey where did you think this was gonna lead?
    Baby will you tell me what you want from me?
    
    Well this is all a little too much to believe
    You're puttin' my name all around in the street
    Honey where did you think this was gonna lead?
    Baby will you tell me what you want from me?
    
    Well you're the last woman in the world that thrills me
    Now you got my girlfriend tryin' to kill me
    Honey my friends think that I've gone crazy
    Can't you figure out that you ain't my baby
    
    What are you doin' in my life?
    What are you doin' in my life?
    What are you doin' in my life?
    I didn't ask for you
  9. Louisiana Rain

    Lyrics: Louisiana Rain

    Well it was out in California by the San Diego sea
    That was when I was taken in and it left its mark on me
    Yeah she nearly drove me crazy with all those China toys
    And I know she really didn't mean a thing to any of those sailor boys
    
    Louisiana rain is falling at my feet
    Baby, I'm noticing the change as I move down the street
    Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
    I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge
    
    South Carolina put out its arms for me
    Right up until everything went black somewhere on Lonely Street
    And I still can't quite remember who helped me to my feet
    Thank God for a love that followed the angel's remedy
    
    Louisiana rain is falling just like tears
    Running down my face, washing out the years
    Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
    I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge
    
    Well I never will get over this English refugee
    Singing to the jukebox in some all-night beanery
    Yeah he was eating pills like candy and chasing them with tea
    You should have seen him lick his lips, that old black muddied beak
    
    Louisiana rain is falling at my feet
    Baby, I'm noticing the change as I move down the street
    Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
    I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge
    
    Louisiana rain is falling just like tears
    Running down my face, washing out the years
    Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
    I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge

  1. The Waiting

    Lyrics: The Waiting

    Oh baby, don't it feel like heaven right now?
    Don't it feel like something from a dream?
    Yeah, I've never known nothing quite like this
    Don't it feel like tonight might never be again?
    Baby, we know better than to try and pretend
    
    Honey, no one could've ever told me 'bout this
    I said yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    
    The waiting is the hardest part
    Every day you see one more card
    You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
    The waiting is the hardest part
    
    Well, yeah, I might have chased a couple women around
    All it ever got me was down
    Yeah, then there were those that made me feel good
    But never as good as I feel right now
    Baby, you're the only one that's ever known how
    
    To make me wanna live like I wanna live now
    I said yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    
    The waiting is the hardest part
    Every day you get one more yard
    You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
    The waiting is the hardest part
    
    Oh, don't let it kill you baby, don't let it get to you
    Don't let it kill you baby, don't let it get to you
    I'll be your bleeding heart, I'll be your crying fool
    Don't let this go too far, don't let it get to you
    
    Yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
    Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
    
    The waiting is the hardest part
    Every day you get one more yard
    You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
    The waiting is the hardest part
    
    Yeah, the waiting is the hardest part
    
    Woah-oh

  2. A Woman in Love (It’s Not Me)

    Lyrics: A Woman in Love (It’s Not Me)

    She laughed in my face, told me good-bye
    Said, "Don't think about it, you can go crazy
    Anything can happen, anything can end
    Don't try to fight it, don't try to save me"
    
    She's a woman in love
    She's a woman in love
    And he's gonna break her heart to pieces
    She don't wanna see
    She's a woman in love
    But it's not me
    
    Well alright, do what you want
    Don't try to talk, don't say nothin'
    She used to be the kind of woman
    You have and you hold
    She could understand the problem
    She let the little things go
    
    She's a woman in love
    She's a woman in love
    And he's gonna break her heart to pieces
    She don't wanna know
    She's a woman in love
    She can't let go
    
    Time after time, night after night
    She would look up at me
    And say she was lonely
    I don't understand the world today
    I don't understand what she needed
    I gave her everything she threw it all away
    On nothin'
    
    She's a woman in love
    She's a woman in love
    And he's gonna break her heart to pieces
    She don't wanna see
    She's a woman in love
    But it's not me
    
    She's a woman in love

    Lyrics: Nightwatchman

    {Chorus}:
    I'm the nightwatchman
    I make the rounds
    I'm the nightwatchman
    I gotta keep my nose to the ground
    
    Honey this ain't no job
    For a man like me
    I got potential
    I could be just what you need
    You got to think
    About the pros and cons
    You could be right
    You could be wrong
    
    {Chorus}:
    
    I'm the nightwatchman
    I am security
    I'm the nightwatchman
    How safe do you wanna be
    
    I sit around at night
    And listen to the radio
    If I get real bored
    I might have a little smoke
    Yeah I got a permit
    To wear this .38
    But listen, my life's worth more
    Than the minimum wage
    
    {Repeat choruses}
  4. Something Big

    Lyrics: Something Big

    Well it didn't feel like Sunday
    Didn't feel like June
    When he met his silent partner
    In that lonely corner room
    
    That overlooked the marquee
    Of the plaza all-adult
    And he was not lookin' for romance
    Just someone he could trust
    
    And it wasn't no way to carry on
    It wasn't no way to live
    But he could put up with it for a little while
    He was workin' on something big
    
    Speedball rang the night clerk
    Said, "Send me up a drink"
    Now the night clerk said, "It's Sunday man
    Wait a minute, let me think"
    
    "There' a little place outside of town
    Might still have some wine"
    Speedball said, "Forget it man
    Can I have an outside line?"
    
    And it wasn't no way to carry on
    It wasn't no way to live
    But he could put up with it for a little while
    He was workin' on something big
    
    It was Monday when the day maids
    Found the still made bed
    All except the pillows
    That lay stacked up at the head
    
    And one said, "I know
    I've seen his face, I wonder who he is"
    And the other said, "Probably it's just another clown
    Working on something big"
    
    And it wasn't no way to carry on
    It wasn't no way to live
    But he could put up with it for a little while
    He was workin' on something big
    
    And it wasn't no way to carry on
    It wasn't no way to live
    But he could put up with it for a little while
    He was workin' on something big
    
    Something big
  5. Kings Road

    Lyrics: Kings Road

    One, two
    One, two, three, four
    
    Well, they put me out on the old Kings Road
    I didn't know which way to go
    There are people all around wearin' funny lookin' clothes
    Some boys, some girls, some I don't know
    
    I didn't know which way to go
    I'm a new world boy on the old Kings Road
    
    Well, rockabilly music was in the air
    Well, I looked to the door, they said, "Come over here"
    They had socks and shirts and underwear
    That I'd seen before, but I don't know where
    
    I didn't know which way to go
    I'm a new world boy on the old Kings Road
    
    A Pakistani man said, "Listen here
    Let me fix you up before you go back there
    You can't get 'em in the USA
    Not in New York City, not in West LA"
    
    I thought about it, said, "I don't know
    I'm a new world boy on the old Kings Road"
    
    I'm on the old Kings Road
    Old Kings Road
    Oh-oh
    Oh
    I'm on the old Kings Road
    
    Oh, oh
    Oh
  6. Letting You Go

    Lyrics: Letting You Go

    I used to think that when this was all over
    You might feel different 'bout me
    Yeah I always knew, one of these days you'd come around
    Now I wonder if dreams are just dreams
    
    Whoa oh, whoa oh oh
    I'm having trouble
    Letting you go
    Whoa oh, whoa oh oh
    I'm having trouble
    Letting you go
    
    Baby look out your window
    It's raining on your summer home
    You by the fire keeping warm and dry
    There's no one as honest as those in pain
    Oh honey can you see me?
    Will you let me inside?
    
    Whoa oh, whoa oh oh
    I'm having trouble
    Letting you go
    
    Whoa oh, whoa oh oh
    I 'm having trouble
    Letting you go
    
    It's a restless world, uncertain times
    You said hope was getting hard to find
    But time rolls on, days roll by
    What about the broken ones?
    What about the lonely ones?
    Oh honey I'm having trouble letting you go
    
    It's off in the distance somewhere up the road
    There's some easy answer for the tears you've cried
    And it makes me uneasy, makes me feel different
    Do you get scared when you close your eyes?
    
    Whoa oh, whoa oh oh
    I'm having trouble
    Letting you go
    Whoa oh, whoa oh oh
    I'm having trouble
    Letting you go
  7. A Thing About You

    Lyrics: A Thing About You

    I'm not much on mystery
    Yeah, you gotta be careful
    What you dream
    I thought this might pass with time
    Yeah, I thought I was satisfied
    
    But oh baby let me tell you
    I got a thing about you
    Baby let me tell you
    I got a thing about you
    It don't matter what you say
    It don't matter what you do
    I, I, I got a thing about you
    
    Somewhere deep in the middle of the night
    Lovers hold each other tight
    Whisper in their anxious ears
    Words of love that disappear
    
    But, oh honey let me tell you
    I got a thing about you
    Baby let me tell you
    I got a thing about you
    It don't matter what you say
    It don't matter what you do
    I, I, I got a thing about you
    
    Baby, you own
    Some strange control over me
    Yeah, it's so wild
    It hypnotizes me
    
    But, oh honey let me tell you
    I got a thing about you
    Baby let me tell you
    I got a thing about you
    It don't matter what you say
    It don't matter what you do
    I, I, I got a thing about you

    You got a criminal mind
    You got criminal looks
    Boy you better look out

    It's gonna be another hard night

    If you can change your mind

  1. A One Story Town

    Lyrics: A One Story Town

    I'm for standin' up, I'm for breakin' free
    I don't want fate handed down to me --
    Yeah, I'm for movin' on, try another town
    Time ain't changin' nothin', take a look around
    
    Chorus
    Oh, I'm lost in a one story town
    Where everything's close to the ground
    Yeah the same shit goes down
    Nothing turns around
    It's a one story town --
    
    She was only seventeen
    
    But I held her to her word
    Had to push her luck
    Thought she couldn't burn
    
    No, it didn't hurt me
    When she had to leave
    She had a far away feeling
    Wasn't part of me
    
    (Repeat Chorus)
  2. You Got Lucky

    Yeah go
    But remember...
    
    Good love is hard to find
    Good love is hard to find
    You got lucky, babe
    You got lucky, babe
    When I found you!
    
    You put a hand on my cheek
    And then you turned your eyes away
    If you don't feel complete
    If I don't take you all o' the way, then go
    
    Yeah go
    But remember...
    
    Good love is hard to find

  3. Deliver Me

    Lyrics: Deliver Me

    Every woman and every man,
    Knows the feeling so well
    Those times when the heart just can't understand,
    The times when you never can tell
    
    Chorus
    So deliver me, deliver me
    Baby take this heart, set it free
    Take this chance, take this dream
    Baby, take this heart
    Deliver me --
    
    I was born with something down inside of me
    
    And it's carried me over, delivered me
    Yeah delivered me, I'm standin' at your gate
    Just out of reach of the hands of fate
    
    (Repeat Chorus)
    
    Sometimes I wonder if this is worth the trouble
    Sometimes I wonder if this is worth the fight
    I never have made my mind up about it
    I've just decided to let it all ride --
  4. Change of Heart

    Lyrics: Change of Heart

    Well I fought for you
    I fought too hard
    To do it all again, babe
    It's gone too far
    You never needed me
    You only wanted me around
    It gets me down
    
    There's been a change
    Yeah, there's been a change of heart
    Said there's been a change
    You pushed just a little too far (there's been a change)
    You make it just a little too hard (there's been a change)
    There's been a change of heart
    
    I'll get over you
    It won't take long
    I've stood in your gallery
    Seen what's hanging from the wall
    You were the moon and sun
    You're just a loaded gun now
    It gets me down
    
    There's been a change
    Yeah, there's been a change of heart
    Said there's been a change
    You pushed just a little too far (there's been a change)
    Made it just a little too hard (there's been a change)
    There's been a change of heart
    
    What we've had all along
    Looks like we finally found the turning point
    Oh me, oh my
    Looks like it's time for me to kiss it goodbye
    Kiss it goodbye
    
    There's been a change
    Yeah, there's been a change of heart
    Said there's been a change
    You pushed just a little too far (there's been a change)
    Made it just a little too hard (there's been a change)
    There's been a change of heart
  5. Finding Out

    Lyrics: Finding Out

    There's something wrong
    I can't get my finger on it
    I must be looking over something
    Sometimes at night
    I've had to fight with this emptiness
    It's been so hard to see
    There's something more than this
    
    I'm finding out, I'm finding out
    Yeah, it took a little time
    To get what love was about
    But honey I'm coming 'round
    I'm finding out
    
    I've had enough
    Of all this hardcore loneliness
    I don't think pain is so romantic
    I'm just a working man
    I feel each day go by
    
    I couldn't understand
    I was too weak to fight
    
    But I'm finding out, I'm finding out
    It took a little time
    For me to stand up and shout
    But honey, I'm coming 'round
    I'm finding out
    
    I have to thank you baby
    Honey I must confess
    You have pulled me from
    This river of loneliness
    
    I'm finding out, baby I'm finding out
    Yeah, it took a little time
    To get what love was about
    But honey, I'm coming 'round
    I'm finding out
  6. We Stand a Chance

    Lyrics: We Stand a Chance

    Stand back from me honey
    Because I don't know what I might do next
    No, I'm surprised by this, frightened by this
    Nothin' ever got me so out of my head
    
    And maybe we stand a chance
    Maybe we stand a chance
    Yeah, and I could be wrong, but you never know
    We could stand the chance of a real love
    
    Oh, God knows I love you, God knows I do
    Baby, will you let me just prove it to you
    Come here to me, baby, come here to me now
    Talk to you, talk to you and tell you somehow
    
    That we stand a chance
    Maybe we stand a chance
    Yeah, and I could be wrong, but you never know
    We could stand the chance of a real love
    
    I'm so moved, I'm so changed
    Baby, my whole world is a fountain of flame
    
    And maybe we stand a chance
    Maybe we stand a chance
    Yeah, and I could be wrong, but you never know
    We could stand the chance of a real love
    
    I'm so moved, I'm so changed
    Baby, my whole world is a fountain of flame
    
    And maybe we stand a chance
    Maybe we stand a chance
    Yeah, and I could be wrong, but you never know
    We could stand the chance of a real love, oh
    
    Oh, we stand a chance, we stand a chance
    It's gonna take a turn but we stand a chance
    Oh, we stand a chance, we stand a chance
    It's gonna take a turn but we stand a chance
    
    Oh, we stand a chance, we stand a chance
    It's gonna take a turn but we stand a chance
    Oh, we stand a chance, we stand a chance
    It's gonna take a turn but we stand a chance
  7. Straight Into Darkness

    Lyrics: Straight Into Darkness

    There was a little girl, I used to know her
    I still think about her, time to time
    There was a moment when I really loved her
    Then one day the feeling just died
    
    We went straight into darkness
    Out over the line
    Yeah, straight into darkness
    Straight into night
    
    I remember flying out to London
    I remember the feeling at the time
    Out the window of the 747
    Man there was nothin', only black sky
    
    We went straight into darkness
    Out over the line
    Straight into darkness
    Straight into night
    
    Oh, give it up to me I need it babe
    Girl, I get there when I see it
    Baby, wrong or right I need it, yeah
    
    I don't believe the good times are over
    I don't believe the thrill is all gone
    Real love is a man's salvation
    The weak ones fall the strong carry on
    
    Straight into darkness
    Out over the line
    Yeah, straight into darkness
    Straight into night
    
    We went straight into darkness
    Out over the line
    We went straight into darkness
    Straight into night
  8. The Same Old You

    Lyrics: The Same Old You

    Hey, I remember you back in '72
    With your David Bowie hair and
    Your platform shoes
    You had a part-time job, selling fast food
    But out on the street you was
    Nobody's fool
    
    Baby way down deep it's the same old you
    Way down deep you ain't hiding the truth
    Just for a minute you had me confused
    Baby way down deep it's the same old you
    
    Well you can walk through the city on fire
    You can try and turn away from the truth
    Living life like a young politician
    Sure of yourself and bullet-proof
    
    But baby, way down deep it's the same old you
    Way down deep you ain't hiding the truth
    Just for a minute you had me confused
    Baby, way down deep its the same old you
    
    We could buy a '62 Cadillac
    Put a Fender amplifier in the back
    Drive straight to the heart of America
    Turn up to ten, let that sucker blast
    
    Baby, way down deep it's the same old you
    Way down deep you ain't hiding the truth
    Just for a minute you had me fooled
    Baby, way down deep its the same old you
  9. Between Two Worlds

    Lyrics: Between Two Worlds

    {Tom Petty & Mike Campbell}
    I got a dirty, dirty feelin'
    That I just can't shake
    Yeah, my brain keeps burnin'
    And my body just aches
    I know a woman's body
    Is only flesh and bone
    How come I can't let go
    I'm between two worlds
    I said, oh yeah I'm out of my mind
    I'm between two worlds
    There's a lot of talk
    About the danger zone
    There's adventure novels
    'Bout takin' to the road
    I know a woman's body
    Is only flesh and bone
    How come I can't let go
    I'm between two worlds
  10. A Wasted Life

    Lyrics: A Wasted Life

    I know you're walkin' down
    A lonely street
    I know you can't
    Get out of the heat
    Baby it's alright
    Don't have a wasted life
    
    I know you have to feel
    A little used up
    And no one
    Can give you enough
    Baby hold on tight
    Don't have a wasted life
    I love you too much
    Don't have a wasted life
    I love you too much
    
    They give it to you
    From the time you're born
    You keep tryin' to make
    One more score
    Baby it's alright
    You gotta stand and fight
    So when you're lonely
    And you feel let down
    You can call me
    I'll come around
    And treat you nice
    Don't have a wasted life
    I love you too much, uh, uh, uh
    Don't have a wasted life

    Lyrics: Rebels

    Honey don't walk out, I'm too drunk to follow
    You know you won't feel this way tomorrow
    Well, maybe I'm a little rough around the edges
    Inside a little hollow
    I get faced with some things sometimes
    That are so hard to swallow
    
    Hey (Hey, hey, hey!)
    I was born a rebel
    Down in Dixie (hey, hey, hey) on a Sunday morning
    Yeah with one foot in the grave
    And one foot on the pedal
    I was born a rebel
    Was born a rebel
    
    Well she picked me up in the morning
    And she paid all my tickets
    Yeah she screamed in the car
    And left me out in the thicket
    Well I never would've dreamed
    That her heart was so wicked
    Oh but I keep coming back
    Cause it's so hard to kick it
    
    Hey, hey, hey (Hey, hey, hey!)
    I was born a rebel
    Down in Dixie (hey, hey, hey) on a Sunday morning

    I was born a rebel
    Born a rebel
    
    Even before my father's fathers
    They called us all rebels
    Burned our cornfields
    And left our cities leveled
    I can still feel the eyes
    Of those blue-bellied devils
    When I'm walking around tonight
    Through the concrete and metal
    
    Hey, hey, hey (Hey, hey, hey!)
    I was born a rebel
    Down in Dixie (hey, hey, hey) on a Sunday morning
    Yeah with one foot in the grave
    And one foot on the pedal
    I was born a rebel
    I was born a rebel

  4. Southern Accents

    Lyrics: Southern Accents

    There's a southern accent, where I come from
    The young'uns call it country
    The yankees call it dumb
    I got my own way of talkin'
    But everything is done. with a southern accent
    Where I come from-
    
    Now that drunk tank in Atlanta's
    Just a motel room to me
    Think I might go work Orlando
    If them orange groves don't freeze
    I got my own way of workin'
    But everything is run. with a southern accent
    Where I come from-
    
    For just a minute there I was dreaming
    For just a minute it were all so real
    For just a minute she was standing there. with me
    
    There's a dream I keep having
    Where my mama comes to me
    And she kneels down over by the window
    And says a prayer for me
    I got my own way of prayin'
    But everyone's begun
    With a southern accent
    Where I come from-
    
    I got my own way of livin'
    But everything gets done
    With southern accent
    Where I come from

  6. Spike

    Lyrics: Spike

    Look, we got another one
    Just like the other ones
    Another bad-ass
    Another trouble-maker
    I'm scared, ain't you boys scared
    Oh, wonder if he's
    Gonna show us what bad is

    You think we oughtta
    Throw ol' Spike a bone
    (Make me say...)
    
    Aw, here's another misfit
    Another Jimmy Dean
    Bet he's got a motorbike
    What do y'all think
    Bet if we be good, we get a ride on it
    
    If he ain't too mad about the future
    Maybe we oughtta help him see
    The future ain't what it used to be
    Listen, hey Spike, what do you like
    Hey Spike, what do you like

    I say aw
    I might say...
    Might say...
  7. Dogs on the Run

    Lyrics: Dogs on the Run

    Well we come with what was on our backs
    Yeah, when the leaves had died and all turned black
    Back when the wind was cold and blew them 'round
    When we laid our blankets on the ground
    Yeah and I woke up feelin' hungry
    Lookin' straight into the sun, and left a cold night on the ground
    Like a dog on the run
    
    I fell overboard and washed up on the beach
    Yes, let the waves and sand roll over me
    I was helped to the home of a young bleached blonde
    Who said, "honey I discovered early in life there's ways of getting
    Anything I want, some of us are different
    It's just something in our blood, there's no need for explanations
    We're just dogs on the run"
    
    The room was painted blue and grey
    All my meals were served on a silver tray
    Oh she would laugh, and light my cigarettes
    She said, "honey, ain't it funny how a crowd gathers around
    Anyone living life without a net?
    And how they'll beg you for the answers
    But it won't ever be enough, there's no way you could ever tell 'em
    It's just dogs on the run
  8. Mary’s New Car

    Lyrics: Mary’s New Car

    Ary got a brand new car
    Mary got a brand new set of wheels
    Now everyone is so charged
    Man you don't know how good it feels
    And we wanna go where she goes
    We wanna listen to her radio
    Mary got a brand new car
    Mary got the one she was savin' for
    
    Now everyone here is so charged
    Mary never looked so good before
    And we wanna go where she goes
    We wanna listen to her radio
    
    Can w e ride? Mary can we ride?
    Can we ride? Mary can we ride?
  9. The Best of Everything

    Lyrics: The Best of Everything

    She prob'ly works in a restaurant
    That's what her momma did
    But I don't know if she ever really
    Could put up with it
    Or maybe she sings in a nightclub
    'Cause sometimes she used to sing
    But I don't know if it ever
    Amounted to anything
    But listen honey
    
    (Chorus)
    Wherever you are tonight
    I wish you the best of everything, in the world
    And I hope you found
    Whatever you were looking for
    
    Yeah and it's over before you know it
    It all goes by so fast
    Yeah, the bad nights last forever
    And the good nights don't ever seem to last
    And man, we never had the real thing
    But sometimes we used to kiss
    Back when we didn't understand
    (What we were caught up in
    
    (Chorus)
    (Chorus)

    You got me against the wall
    I got nowhere to go

    You're jammin' me
    Quit jammin' me
  2. Runaway Trains

    Lyrics: Runaway Trains

    She's up there all alone
    I'm down here changing lanes
    Her room was dark and cold
    I'm listening to the waves
    
    And I'm depending on time, babe
    To get you out of my mind
    
    I guess it's one of those things
    You can never explain
    Like when an angel cries
    Like runaway trains
    
    Like one of those times
    That's never the same
    Like when something dies
    Like runaway trains
    
    She says, "I understand
    I'm used to being alone
    And holding my own hand
    I'm stronger than you know"
    
    And I'm depending on time, babe
    To get you out of my mind
    
    I guess it's one of those things
    You can never explain
    Like when an angel cries
    Like runaway trains
    
    Like one of those times
    That's never the same
    Like when something dies
    Like runaway trains
    
    Runaway
    Don't blame me, babe
    
    And I'm depending on time, babe
    To get you out of my mind
    
    I guess it's one of those things
    You can never explain
    Like when an angel cries
    Like runaway trains
    
    Like one of those times
    That's never the same
    Like when something dies
    Like runaway trains
  3. The Damage You’ve Done

    Lyrics: The Damage You’ve Done

    Well, I wish I had a dollar
    For every piece of my broken heart
    Yeah, if they gave out a quarter
    For every thread of my shattered life
    
    Baby, you'd make me a millionaire
    But it wouldn't repair
    The damage that you've done
    The damage that you've done
    The damage that you've done to me
    
    Well, I wish I was a bluebird
    Honey, I'd just fly away
    And look down over my shoulder
    At the country down below
    
    Baby, you could make me a king
    It wouldn't mean a thing
    Compare the damage that you've done
    The damage that you've done
    The damage that you've done to me
    
    Well, I wish I knew you better
    Yeah, I wish I was close to you
    Then maybe I would understand
    Exactly what I never did do
    
    Honey, what's wrong?
    What's wrong?
    
    Yeah, I wish you kinda liked me
    I wish you'd spare my pain
    Why do you, you want to destroy me, baby?
    What did I do wrong?
    
    Baby, I could be a millionaire
    And I wouldn't care
    After the damage that you've done
    The damage that you've done
    The damage that you've done to me
    
    Honey, you would make me a king
    It wouldn't mean a thing
    After the damage that you've done
    The damage that you've done
    The damage that you've done to me
    
    Yes, I'm talkin' about the damage that you've done
    The damage that you've done
    The damage that you've done to me
  4. It’ll All Work Out

    Lyrics: It’ll All Work Out

    She wore faded jeans and soft black leather
    She had eyes so blue they looked like weather
    When she needed me I wasn't around
    That's the way it goes, it'll all work out
    
    There were times apart, there were times together
    I was pledged to her for worse or better
    When it mattered most I let her down
    That's the way it goes, it'll all work out
    
    It'll all work out eventually
    Better off with him than here with me
    
    It'll all work out eventually
    Maybe better off with him than here with me
    
    Now the wind is high and the rain is heavy
    And the water's rising in the levee
    Still I think of her when the sun goes down
    It never goes away, but it all works out
  5. My Life/Your World

    Lyrics: My Life/Your World

    They came this mornin' with a dog on a chain
    They came and took my little brother away
    His generation never even got a name
    
    My momma was a rocker way back in '53
    Buys them old records that they sell on T.V.
    I know Chuck Berry wasn't singin' that to me
    
    (Chorus)
    Mama,
    That's all right, it's your world
    Hey, this is my life
    She's my girl
    My life / your world
    
    I watch that fortune wheel
    
    But never get to spin it
    You made me promises, I don't think you meant it
    If there's some sunshine baby
    I'm gonna get out in it, oh yeah
    
    (Chous)
    
    I tried to leave, but the traffic had been stopped
    The beach was burnin', and someone was
    Throwin' rocks
    They said an airplane had
    Fallen in my block
    
    (Chorus)
  6. Think About Me

    Lyrics: Think About Me

    Listen pretty baby, one of these days
    Your pretty head's gonna turn my way

    Oh yeah, one of these days, girl you better believe
    Honey, wait and see, yeah you better believe
    You're gonna think about me, you're gonna think about me, yeah
    
    Your boyfriend's gotta big red car
    He got a compact disc, got a VCR
    Well, I can't do no disco dance
    But I can sure love you, baby if you give me a chance
    
    Oh yeah, one of these days, girl you better believe
    Honey, wait and see, yeah you better believe
    You're gonna think about me, you're gonna think about me, yeah
    
    I said, "Oh pretty baby, is it something I've said?
    Tell me why little baby", I said, "Why must you play with my head?"
    
    "Listen little girl, I said, "One of these days
    Your pretty head's gonna turn my way
    One of these days, I know I'm right
    Yeah, you're gonna look for me in the middle of the night"
    
    Oh yeah, one of these days, girl you better believe
    Honey, wait and see, yeah you better believe
    You're gonna think about me, yeah you're gonna think about me
    Alright, you're gonna think about me, baby alright

  7. All Mixed Up

    Lyrics: All Mixed Up

    I'm all mixed up
    I'm all mixed up about
    All mixed up about you
    Yeah, it's having the effect on me
    Pulling and directing me
    I don't know what I'm gonna do
    
    And no, I can't find no reason
    To explain the way that I feel
    I remember things being clearer
    At one time the things were more real
    
    Honey, I'm all mixed up
    I'm all mixed up about
    All mixed up about you
    Yeah, it's having the effect on me
    Pulling and directing me
    I don't know what I'm gonna do
    
    Oh, I'm not lookin' for sympathy
    Lord, I'm just frightened by this apathy
    Like footsteps way in back of me
    On a narrow street of stone
    
    I'm all mixed up about you
    I'm all mixed up about you
    
    And if time will answer all questions
    Then perhaps a film will be shown
    Everyone could mail order tickets
    Yeah, you could sell a lot of shirts for the last picture show
    
    Baby, I'm all mixed up
    I'm all mixed up about
    All mixed up about you
    It's like something is testing me
    Pulling and directing me
    I don't know what I'm gonna do
    Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
    Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
    Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
    Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
    
    Honey, I'm all mixed up
    I'm all mixed up about
    All mixed up about you
  8. A Self‐Made Man

    Lyrics: A Self‐Made Man

    If he don't wanna talk
    Leave him alone
    If he don't wanna talk
    Leave him alone
    He's a self-made man, he did it on own
    
    Now some folks say there's a dangerous side
    Some folks say he's got a dangerous side
    He's a self-made man, he knows about pride
    
    (Chorus)
    So help me baby, look what love can do
    It scares me baby, does it scare you do?
    
    Some folks say it was a women he knew
    Some folks say it was a women he knew
    He's a self-made man, he knows how to lose
    
    (Chorus)
  9. Ain’t Love Strange

    Lyrics: Ain’t Love Strange

    Well, it can get you in the back, boy
    Or you can lie around in roses
    Or maybe walk around wonderin'
    You know, goin' through the motions
    
    Hey, ain't love strange?
    Hey, ain't love strange?
    Boy, talk about changes
    Ain't love strange?
    
    Well, it can make you string barb-wire
    Around your little piece of ground
    Yeah, for emotional protection
    Oh, but it's too late now
    
    Hey, ain't love strange?
    Hey, ain't love strange?
    Boy, talk about changes
    Ain't love strange?
    
    Some keep tryin' it
    Giving and denying it
    And I don't know why it is
    I guess you never quit
    Tryin' to make sense of it
    
    Oh, 'cause it can feel like perfection
    But never all the time
    But you don't wanna be alone again
    Oh, my, my
    
    Hey, ain't love strange?
    Hey, ain't love strange?
    Boy, talk about changes
    Ain't love strange?
    
    Ain't love strange?
    Hey, ain't love strange?
    Boy, talk about lonely
    Hey, ain't love strange?

  1. Learning to Fly

    Lyrics: Learning to Fly

    Well, I started out
    Down a dirty road
    Started out all alone
    And the sun went down
    As I crossed the hill
    And the town lit up
    The world got still
    
    I'm learning to fly
    But I ain't got wings
    Coming down
    Is the hardest thing
    
    Well the good ol' days
    May not return
    And the rocks might melt
    And the sea may burn
    
    I'm learning to fly
    (I'm learning to fly)
    But I ain't got wings
    (I'm learning to fly)
    And coming down
    (I'm learning to fly)
    Is the hardest thing
    (I'm learning to fly)
    
    Now some say life
    Will beat you down
    Yeah, break your heart
    Steal your crown
    
    So I started out
    For God knows where
    I guess I'll know
    When I get there
    
    I'm learning to fly
    Around the clouds
    But what goes up
    Must come down
    
    (Heyy!)
    
    I'm learning to fly
    (I'm learning to fly)
    But I ain't got wings
    Coming down
    Is the hardest thing
    
    I'm learning to fly
    (I'm learning to fly)
    Around the clouds
    But what goes up
    (I'm learning to fly)
    Must come down
    
    I'm learning to fly
    (I'm learning to fly)
    (I'm learning to fly)
    I'm learning to fly
    (I'm learning to fly)
    (I'm learning to fly)
    (I'm learning to fly)
  2. Kings Highway

    Lyrics: Kings Highway

    When the time gets right
    I'm gonna pick you up
    And take you far away
    From trouble my love
    Under big ol' sky
    Out in the field of green
    There's gotta be something
    Left for us to believe
    
    Oh, I await the day
    Good fortune comes our way
    And we ride down the Kings Highway
    
    No you can't hide out
    In a six-gun town
    We wanna hold our heads up
    But we gotta stay down
    I don't wanna end up
    In a room all alone
    Don't wanna end up someone
    That I don't even know
    
    Lover, I await the day
    Good fortune comes out way
    And we ride down the Kings Highway
    
    Yeah, I await the day
    Good fortune comes our way
    And we ride down the Kings Highway
    Yeah, I await the day
    Good fortune comes our way
    And we ride down the Kings Highway
  3. Into the Great Wide Open

    Lyrics: Into the Great Wide Open

    Eddie waited 'til he finished high school
    He went to Hollywood, got a tattoo
    He met a girl out there with a tattoo too
    The future was wide open
    
    They moved into a place they both could afford
    He found a nightclub, he could work at the door
    She had a guitar and she taught him some chords
    The sky was the limit
    
    Into the great wide open
    Under them skies of blue
    Out in the great wide open
    A rebel without a clue
    
    The papers said Ed always played from the heart
    He got an agent and a roadie named Bart
    They made a record, and it went in the charts
    The sky was the limit
    
    His leather jacket had chains that would jingle
    They both met movie stars, partied and mingled
    Their A&R man said, "I don't hear a single"
    The future was wide open
    
    Into the great wide open
    Under them skies of blue
    Out in the great wide open
    A rebel without a clue
    
    Into the great wide open
    Under them skies of blue
    Into the great wide open
    A rebel without a clue

    Walked out in the street and one said
    "I don't wanna fight no more"
    And the other gunslinger
    Thought about it
    And he said, "yeah, what are we fighting for?"
    
    I'm takin' control of my life
    I'm takin' control of my life
    I'm takin' control of my life now
    Right now, oh yeah
    
    Well the crowd that assembled
    For the gun fight were let down
    Everyone hissed and booed
    And the stranger told his Missus
    "That's the last one of these gunfights
    You're ever gonna drag me to!"
    
    I'm takin' control of my life
    I'm takin' control of my life
    I'm takin' control of my life now
    Right now, oh yeah
    
    Well the two gunslingers
    Went riding out of town and
    Were never heard from no more
    And there ain't been a gun fight
    For a long time, maybe never
    But nobody knows for sure
    
    I'm takin' control of my life
    I'm takin' control of my life
    I'm takin' control of my life now
    Right now, oh yeah
    Now, right now, oh yeah
    Now, right now, oh yeah
  5. The Dark of the Sun

    Lyrics: The Dark of the Sun

    In the dark of the sun
    Will you save me a place?
    Give me hope, give me comfort
    Get me to a, a better place
    
    Saw you sail across a river
    Underneath Orion's sword
    In your eyes there was a freedom
    I had never known before
    
    Hey, yeah, yeah
    In the dark of the sun
    We will stand together
    Yeah, we will stand as one
    In the dark of the sun
    
    Past my days of great confusion
    Yeah, past my days of wondering why
    Would I sail into the heavens
    Constellations in my eyes?
    
    Hey, yeah, yeah
    In the dark of the sun (dark of the sun)
    We will stand together
    Yeah, we will stand as one
    
    Hey, yeah yeah
    In the dark of the sun (dark of the sun)
    We will stand together
    Yeah, we will stand as one
    Oh, in the dark of the sun
    
    Hey, yeah, yeah
    Oh, in the dark of the sun
    Oh, in the dark of the sun
  6. All or Nothin’

    Lyrics: All or Nothin’

    Your daddy was a Sergeant major
    You didn't wanna, but he made you
    Wipe his brass from time to time
    It left a picture in your mind
    You know?
    You know?
    
    You want it all
    You want it all
    All or nothin'
    You want it all
    
    Here am I, a fallen arrow
    My load is wide, my street is narrow
    My skin is thicker, my heart is tougher
    I don't mind workin' but I'm scared to suffer
    You know?
    You know?
    
    You want it all
    You want it all
    All or nothin'
    You want it all or nothin'
    
    Sweet chariots of L.A. swing low
    At twilight time the smog makes a rainbow
    So keep one eye on the weather
    You had it good, you wanted better
    You know?
    You know?
    
    You want it all
    You want it all
    All or nothin'
    You want it all
    All or nothin' (Nothin')
    Nothin' (Nothin')
    All, all or nothin' (Nothin')
    Nothin' (Nothin')
    Woah!
    You want it all
    You want it all
    All or nothin'
    Nothin'
    Nothin' (Nothin')
    No!
    All or nothin'
  7. All the Wrong Reasons

    Lyrics: All the Wrong Reasons

    Trouble blew in on a cold dark wind
    It came without no warning
    And that big ol' house went up for sale
    They were on the road by morning
    Oh, the days went slow, into the changing season
    Oh, out in the cold, for all the wrong reasons
    
    Well she grew up hard and she grew up fast
    In the age of television
    And she made a vow to have it all
    It became her new religion
    Oh, down in her soul, it was an act of treason
    Oh, down they go for all the wrong reasons
    
    Where the sky begins the horizon ends
    Despite the best intentions
    And a big ol' man goes up for sale
    He becomes his own invention
    Oh, the days go slow into the changing season
    Oh, bought and sold, for all the wrong reasons
    Oh, down they go for all the wrong reasons
  8. Too Good to Be True

    Lyrics: Too Good to Be True

    Her imagination ran wild
    Could this really happen to me?
    She could barely hold back the tears
    
    It was too good to be true
    It was too good to be true
    It was too good to be true
    
    Everything that she'd waited for
    Everything that she'd dared to dream
    Suddenly was outside her door
    
    It was too good to be true
    It was too good to be true
    It was too good to be true
    
    There was no talk of giving in
    And just as hope was wearing thin
    Her eyes were like a child again
    Too good to be true
    
    Morning on the outskirts of town
    Sitting in the traffic alone
    You don't know what it means to be free
    
    And it was too good to be true
    It was too good to be true
    It was too good to be true
    Too good to be true
  9. Out in the Cold

    Lyrics: Out in the Cold

    The day fell down, the air got cold
    I walked out in the street
    Daydreamed for a mile or two
    Staring at my feet
    
    Like a workin' boy, out of luck
    Fallin' through the cracks
    Night rolled in, I turned back home
    A hard wind at my back
    
    I'm out in the cold (Out in the cold)
    Body and soul (Out in the cold)
    There's nowhere to go (Out in the cold)
    I'm out in the cold (Out in the cold)
    
    Well I woke up, my brain was stunned
    I could not come around
    I reached out to grab my keys
    Tumbled to the ground
    
    I thought of you, starry eyed
    I wonder where we stand
    Did I just fall from your arms
    Down into your hands?
    
    I'm out in the cold (Out in the cold)
    Body and soul (Out in the cold)
    There's nowhere to go (Out in the cold)
    I'm out in the cold (Out in the cold)
    
    I'm out
    Standin' in a doorway
    
    I'm out
    Walkin' around
    Hands in my pockets
    I'm out in the cold (Out in the cold)
    Body and soul (Out in the cold)
    There's nowhere to go (Out in the cold)
    I'm out in the cold (Out in the cold)
  10. You and I Will Meet Again

    Lyrics: You and I Will Meet Again

    You and I will meet again
    When we're least expecting it
    Somewhere in some far off place
    I will recognize your face
    
    I won't say goodbye my friend
    For you and I will meet again
    
    I heard you singing to no one
    I saw you dancing all alone
    One day you belonged to me
    Next day I just wouldn't know
    
    One day all the rules will bend
    And you and I will meet again
    
    I've got a feeling
    I've got a feeling so strong
    Maybe someday our roads will cross
    
    A red-winged hawk is circling
    The blacktop stretches out for days
    How could I get so close to you
    And still feel so far away?
    
    I hear a voice come on the wind
    Sayin' you and I will meet again
    I don't know how, I don't know when
    But you and I will meet again
    
    Ohhhh
  11. Makin’ Some Noise

    Lyrics: Makin’ Some Noise

    When I was a young boy
    I was working for the state
    I wasn't making much money
    I was staying out late
    I'd go down at nighttime
    Playing music in the bars
    Take my breaks out underneath the stars
    
    I was makin' some noise
    I was a working boy
    Up at the top of my voice saying
    "Look at me mama, I'm makin' some noise!"
    
    I had to rock the boat
    I had to shake the tree
    To see what fall down on me
    I thought maybe I could make it
    If I never give in
    I've been down before
    I ain't goin' down again
    
    I'm makin' some noise
    I've been a worried boy
    Up at the top of my voice saying
    "Look at me mama, I'm makin' some noise!"
    Woah!
    
    From across the canyon
    A guitar plays
    Through an amplifier
    On a long delay
    It was an old melody
    I recognized the song
    I had an amplifier too
    So I played along
    
    I'm makin' some noise
    I'm still a working boy
    At the top of my voice saying
    "Look at me mama, I'm makin' some noise!"
    I'm makin' some noise
    I've been a long, gone boy
    At the top of my voice saying
    "Look at me mama, I'm makin' some noise!"
    
    Oh!
    
    I'm makin' some noise
    You
    Oh!
    Yeah!
    I'm makin' some noise
    Oh!
    I'm makin' some noise
  12. Built to Last

    Lyrics: Built to Last

    Somewhere out my doorway
    Somewhere down my block
    I can hear her heartbeat
    In rhythm with my clock
    
    I want her more than diamonds
    I want her more than gold
    I want her more than anything
    Anyone could hold
    
    We were built to last
    On until forever
    The world is changing fast
    Oh, but our love was built to last
    
    She has followed me down
    Along some empty streets
    She has followed me where
    The rain would fall in sheets
    
    And I know I've been changing
    Changing like the wind
    I was feeling burned out
    I got tired of it
    
    We were built to last
    On until forever
    The world is changing fast
    Oh, but our love was built to last
    
    Oh... whoa...
    Oh... whoa...
    
    So come to me my darling
    Hold me while I sleep
    I know you feel lost
    But you're not in too deep
    
    We were built to last
    On until forever
    The world is changing fast
    Oh, but our love was built to last
    
    We were built to last
    On until forever
    The world is changing fast
    Oh, but our love was built to last
    Yeah, our love was built to last

  5. Swingin’

    Lyrics: Swingin’

    Well, she was standing by the highway
    In her boots and silver spurs
    Gonna hitchhike to the yellow moon
    When a Cadillac stopped for her
    And she said, "Hey, nice to meet you, are you goin' my way?"
    Yeah, that's when it happened
    The world caught fire that day
    And she went down swingin'
    Yeah, she went down swingin'
    Well, she was over twenty-one
    In trouble with the law
    And it didn't faze her none
    She called her mother-in-law
    And said I need a little money
    I knew I could count on you
    After that night in Vegas
    And the hell that we went through
    We went down swingin'
    Like Benny Goodman
    Yeah, we went down swingin'
    Moonlight on the interstate
    She was 'cross the Georgia line
    Looked out the window feeling great
    Yeah, it had to come in time
    And she said I'm never goin' back
    She said at last I'm free
    I wish ma could see me now, she'd be so proud of me
    She went down swingin'
    Like Glenn Miller
    Yeah, she went down swingin'
    Like Tommy Dorsey
    Yeah, she went down swingin'
    Like Sammy Davis
    She went down swingin'
    Like Sonny Liston
  6. Accused of Love

    Lyrics: Accused of Love

    You speak to me in natural harmony
    
    Like we both grew up with nothin'
    And I can't believe my own memory
    But it one day could be coming
    And I don't even know the wrong I've done
    
    And I don't even care anymore
    All I know is I believe that you and me
    Forever will stand accused of love
    Watched the sun go down behind London Town
    
    I was burnt, stood up in Mayfair
    I caught a train, black car through the rain
    From the trust that hung betrayed there
    And I don't even know the wrong I've done
    
    And I don't even care anymore
    All I know is I believe that you and me
    Forever will stand accused of love
    ----Instrumental----
    
    Well, the attorney grins, the witness is drug in
    
    With his face half hid in shadow
    Sworn to God and State the truth arrives too late
    And defense goes out the window
    And we don't even know the wrong we've done
    And we don't even care anymore
    All I know is I believe that you and me
    Forever will stand accused of love
    Will stand accused of love
    Will stand accused of love
  7. Echo

    Lyrics: Echo

    Put down your things and rest awhile
    We both know where to go
    Yeah, daddy had to crash
    He was always halfway there you know
    And no, I don't pretend there's any more of that
    They say one day, you'll look up and laugh
    And hear the same sad echo when you walk
    Yeah, the same sad echo when you talk, loud and clear
    It's the same, it's the same sad echo around here
    I promise you this winter
    I will worship you like gold
    And ride your train forever
    Electric fortunes to be told
    And I don't want to question or even celebrate
    All the joy you took and then gave back too late
    It's the same sad echo when you lie
    It's the same sad echo when you try to be clear
    It's the same as the same sad echo, around here
    Well, I woke up right here
    In a pool of sweat
    With a box of pills and you
    Yeah, and I'm gonna keep my head
    I'm gonna keep my cool
    'Cause I'm so in love with you
    Yes, and in another world nothing was like this
    There may have been a girl
    There never was a kiss
    The poison came in liquid
    She was naked all the time
    And no one could explain it
    It was all between the lines
    And I don't seem to trust anyone no more
    It could be faith, but now I'm not quite sure
    It's the same sad echo every day
    Yeah, the same sad echo another way
    It's the same sad echo when you call
    It's the same, it's the same sad echo, most of all
    Well you just got tired
    You just gave in
    You took it hard
    Then you just quit
    You let me down
    You dropped the ball
    You fell on your face most of all
    And I don't want to mean anything to you
    I don't want to tempt you to be true
    It's the same sad echo comin' down
    It's the same sad echo all around in my ears
    It's the same, it's the same sad echo around here
  8. Won’t Last Long

    Lyrics: Won’t Last Long

    I'm down but it won't last long
    (I'm down but it won't last long)
    I'm down but it won't last long
    
    I'm down but it won't last long
    (I'm down but it won't last long)
    I'm down but it won't last long
    (I'm down but it won't last long)
    I'm down but it won't last long
    (I'm down but it won't last long)
    
    I'm down but it won't last long
    (I'm down but it won't last long)
  9. Billy the Kid

    Lyrics: Billy the Kid

    Well I heard you in the back room
    Your friends had a laugh on me
    Passed my name through the cantina
    Yeah your face was hard to read
    Something in your demeanor
    Should of given you away
    But I was desperate for a friend
    I was getting used to making mistakes
    
    Well I went down hard
    Like Billy the Kid
    Yeah, I went down hard
    Yeah, but I got up again
    
    I remember you my baby
    I remember you so well
    And your house out in the suburbs
    You had your wishing well
    They say be careful who you believe
    Be careful who you trust
    Did you smile when you pulled the trigger
    That dropped me in the dust
    
    Well, I went down hard
    Like Billy the Kid
    Yeah, I went down hard
    Yeah, but I got up again
    
    Well, you caught me in the bedroom
    Cotton fever in a sweat
    I was fighting for recovery
    But I wasn't giving up yet
    You offered no assistance
    Yeah, you looked at me and you lied
    Oh it really stunned me
    When you went to the other side
    
    I went down hard
    Like Billy the Kid
    Yeah, I went down hard
    Oh, but I got up again
  10. I Don’t Wanna Fight

    Lyrics: I Don’t Wanna Fight

    I got a hole in my head
    I got a hole in my head
    I'd be better off dead
    I got a hole in my head
    
    I'm a lover, lover, lover
    
    You're always laughing at me
    You're always laughing at me
    Yeah, when nothing's really funny
    You're always laughing at me
    
    I'm a lover, lover, lover
    I'm a lover, lover, lover
    
    You got a pretty face
    You got a pretty face
    But it's such a waste
    You got a pretty face
    
    I'm a lover, lover, lover
    I'm a lover, lover, lover
  11. This One’s for Me

    Lyrics: This One’s for Me

    This one's for me, this one's for me
    Not for anyone else, I need it you see
    I threw all I had into the sea
    Now I want a little back, this one's for me
    
    Lover, I found the mistakes I've made
    Will follow me down into my grave
    So much has gone by, so many to please
    Well this one I'll keep, this one's for me
    
    And you don't even know what you've got
    'Til it's walking away
    Yea, you don't even know what you had
    'Til it laughs in your face
    
    Some other time, some other day
    We'll sing this again, some other way
    So much has gone by, don't know where to start
    Well this one I'll keep here in my heart
    
    And you don't even know what you want
    'Til it's walking away
    Yea, you don't even know what you had
    'Til it laughs in your face
    
    This one's for me, this one's for me
    Not for anyone else, I need it you see
    I threw all I had into the sea
    Now I want a little back, this one's for me
    
    And you don't even know what you've got
    'Til it's walking away
    Yea, you don't even know what you had
    'Til it laughs in your face
  12. No More

    Lyrics: No More

    No more, no more
    I ain't gonna do it no more
    It used to be a big deal
    But, I ain't gonna do it
    If it ain't real
    
    Big money
    Big plans
    You stand with a ticket in your hand
    You don't play you can't win
    But, I ain't gonna do it
    'Til I feel it again
    
    When I see that sun go down
    My mind begins to clear
    Sure was a hard time
    It sure was a hard time my dear
    
    No more, no more
    I ain't gonna do it no more
    It used to be a big deal
    But, I ain't gonna do it
    If it ain't real
    No, I ain't gonna do it
    If it ain't real
  13. About to Give Out

    Lyrics: About to Give Out

    Rickey and Dickey
    Standing in the sun
    Out there on that highway and the dog wouldn't run
    Rickey rolled a number
    Dickey raised the hood
    Time we hit Daytona I was feeling pretty good
    
    Oh, mama I'm about to give out
    Oh, mama I'm about to give out
    I'm Davey Crockett in a coonskin town
    Oh, mama I'm about to give out
    
    Karaoke Katie drove the crowd wild
    Every time she'd sing they'd come in for miles
    Curtain came up
    Katie came on
    Drinking like a lumberjack
    And singing Delta Dawn
    
    Oh, mama I'm about to give out
    Oh, mama I'm about to give out
    I'm Davey Crockett in a coonskin town
    Oh, mama I'm about to give out
    
    Yeah, I hit town hard last night
    Abraham and Moses
    Some other friends of mine
    Moses started drinkin' he got a little rude
    We woke up in the bushes
    Beat to Hell and nude
    
    Oh, mama I'm about to give out
    Oh, mama I'm about to give out
    I'm Davey Crockett in a coonskin town
    Oh, mama, I'm about to give out
    I'm Roy Rogers in a one horse town
    Oh, mama I'm about to give out
    I'm about to give out
    I'm about to give out
  14. Rhino Skin

    Lyrics: Rhino Skin

    You need rhino skin
    If you're gonna begin
    To walk
    Through this world
    You need elephant balls
    If you don't want to crawl
    On your hands
    Through this world
    
    Oh my love if I reveal
    Every secret I've concealed
    How many thoughts would you steal
    How much of my pain would you feel
    
    You need eagles wings
    To get over things
    That make no sense
    In this world
    
    You need rhino skin
    If you're gonna pretend
    You're not hurt by this world
    
    If you listen long enough
    You can hear my skin grow tough
    Love is painful to the touch
    Must be made of stronger stuff
    
    You need rhino skin
    To get to the end
    Of the maze through this world
    
    You need rhino skin
    Or you're gonna give in
    To the needles and pins
    The arrows of sin
    The evils of men
    You need rhino skin
  15. One More Day, One More Night

    Lyrics: One More Day, One More Night

    One more night, God I've had to fight
    To keep my line of sight on what's real
    One more day I fear I've lost my way
    I don't know how to say what I feel
    Someone better hurry I'm all alone
    And I keep breaking down
    Breaking down, you know?
    No one ever taught me to be on my own
    And I keep breaking down
    Breaking down, you know?
    
    One more night my eyes reflect the light
    In the distance something bright appears
    One more day it's too hard to explain
    What goes on in my brain is not clear
    
    Someone better hurry I'm all alone
    And I keep breaking down
    Breaking down, you know?
    No one ever taught me to be on my own
    Yeah and I keep breaking down
    Breaking down, you know?
    
    So hold on one more night
    Hold out one more day
    Hold on one more night
    Hold out one more day
    
    There'll be one more night and things will be made right
    Again I'll hold you tight my dear
    One more day and I'll collect my pay
    And soon be far away from here

The Last DJ (2002)

  1. The Last DJ

    Lyrics: The Last DJ

    Well, you can't turn him into a company man
    You can't turn him into a whore
    And the boys upstairs
    Just don't understand anymore
    
    Well, the top brass don't like him
    Talking so much
    And he won't play what they say to play
    And he don't want to change
    What don't need to change
    
    There goes the last DJ
    Who plays what he wants to play
    And says what he wants to say
    Hey, hey, hey
    
    And there goes your freedom of choice
    There goes the last human voice
    There goes the last DJ
    
    Well, some folks say they're gonna hang him so high
    'Cause you just can't do what he did
    There's some things you just can't
    Put in the mind of those kids
    
    As we celebrate mediocrity
    All the boys upstairs want to see
    How much you'll pay for
    What you used to get for free
    
    There goes the last DJ
    Who plays what he wants to play
    And says what he wants to say
    Hey, hey, hey
    
    And there goes your freedom of choice
    There goes the last human voice
    And there goes the last DJ
    
    Well, he got him a station down in Mexico
    And sometimes it'll kinda come in
    And I'll bust a move
    And remember how it was back then
    
    There goes the last DJ
    Who plays what he wants to play
    And says what he wants to say
    Hey, hey, hey
    
    And there goes your freedom of choice
    There goes the last human voice
    There goes the last DJ
  2. Money Becomes King

    Lyrics: Money Becomes King

    If you reach back in your memory
    A little bell might ring
    'Bout a time that once existed
    When money wasn't king
    If you stretch your imagination
    I'll tell you all a tale
    About a time when everything
    Wasn't up for sale
    
    There was this cat named Johnny
    Who loved to play and sing
    When money wasn't king
    
    We'd all get so excited when
    John would give a show
    We'd raise the cash between us
    And down the road we'd go
    To hear him play that music
    It spoke right to my soul
    Every a diamond
    Every gold
    The sound was my salvation
    It was only everything
    Before money became king
    
    Well I ain't sure how it happened
    And I don't know exactly when
    But everything got bigger
    And the rules began to bend
    And the TV taught the people
    How to get their hair to shine
    And how sweet life can be
    If you keep a tight behind
    And they raised the cost of living
    And how could we have known
    They'd double the price of tickets
    To go see Johnny's show
    
    So we hocked all our possessions
    And we sold a little dope
    And went off to rock and roll
    
    We arrived there early
    In time to see rehearsal
    And John came out and lip-synched
    His new lite beer commercial
    And as the crowd arrived
    As far as I could see
    The faces were all different
    There was no one there like me
    
    They sat in golden circles
    And waiters served them wine
    And talked through all the music
    And to John paid little mind
    And way up in the nosebleeds
    We watched him on the screen
    They'd hung between the billboards
    So cheaper seats could see
    
    Johnny rock that golden circle
    An all those VIP's
    And that music that had freed us
    Became a tired routine
    And I saw his face in close-up
    Trying to give it all he had
    And sometimes his eyes betrayed him
    You could see that he was sad
    And I tried to rock on with him
    But I slowly became bored
    Could that man on stage
    With everything
    Somehow need some more?
    
    There was no use in pretending
    No magic left to hear
    All the music gave me
    Was a craving for lite beer
    As I walked out of the arena
    My ears began to ring
    And money became king
  3. Dreamville

    Lyrics: Dreamville

    Goin' down to Lillian's Music Store
    To buy a black diamond string
    Gonna wind it up on my guitar
    Gonna make that silver sing
    
    Like it was Dreamville
    A long time ago
    A million miles away
    All the trees were green
    In Dreamville
    
    I keep wakin' up all by myself
    With a Blue Jay in my brain
    Flappin' his wings
    Making me sing
    It was just about to rain
    
    Like it was Dreamville
    Where I was born
    Light-years from here
    And the air smelled good
    In Dreamville
    
    Like it was Dreamville
    A long time ago
    Light-years from here
    And the trees were green
    In Dreamville
    
    Ridin' with my momma
    To Glen Springs Pool
    Water was cold
    My lips were blue
    There was rock and roll
    Across the dial
    When I think of her
    It makes me smile
    
    Like it was Dreamville
    A long time ago
    A million miles away
    All the trees were green
    In Dreamville
    In Dreamville
    
    It was in Dreamville
    A long time ago
    Light-years from here
    And the air smelled good
    In Dreamville
    In Dreamville
  4. Joe

    Lyrics: Joe

    My name's joe
    I'm the CEO
    Yeah, I'm the man
    Makes the big wheels roll
    I'm the hand on the green light switch
    You get to be famous
    I get to be rich
    Go get me a kid
    With a good-looking face
    Bring me a kid
    Can remember his place
    Some hungry poet
    Son of a bitch
    He gets to be famous
    I get to be rich
    Or bring me a girl
    They're always the best
    You put 'em on stage
    And you have 'em undress
    Some angel whore
    Who can learn a guitar lick
    Hey, now that's what I call music
    Well they'll come lookin' for money
    When the public gets bored
    But we'll fight 'em with lawyers
    They could never afford
    Yeah, I'll make her look
    Like a spoiled little bitch
    She gets to be famous
    I get to be rich
    Or bring me a girl
    There always the best
    You put 'em on stage
    And you have 'em undress
    Some angel whore
    Could learn a guitar lick
    Hey, now that's what I call
    Music
    So burnt-out Johnny
    Thinks our books are shifty
    What good's that alchie to me when he's fifty
    We could move catalog
    If he'd only die quicker
    Send my regards to the gig
    And a case of good liquor
    He gets to be famous
    I get to be rich
    He gets to be famous
    I get to be rich
    My name's Joe, I'm the CEO
    I'm the man makes
    The big wheels roll
  5. When a Kid Goes Bad

    Lyrics: When a Kid Goes Bad

    You got a different kind of look in your eye
    Something about you that I don't recognize
    These things are talked about in quiet tones
    I never saw a person so all alone
    
    Some momma's cryin', some daddy's sad
    When a kid goes bad
    Makes you wonder what made him mad
    When a kid goes bad
    
    When a kid goes bad...
    Bad... bad...
    Yeah, when a kid goes bad...
    Yeah...
    
    You built for innocence, you built for joy
    Suddenly evil's all that you enjoy
    But if you shoot at everyone you see
    Well, you can't be my friend 'cause you might shoot at me
    
    Some momma's cryin', some daddy's sad
    When a kid goes bad
    Makes you wonder what made him mad
    When a kid goes bad
    
    When a kid goes bad...
    Bad... bad...
    When a kid goes bad...
    Oh! Oh!
    
    Somewhere along the way, did we let you down?
    Did you cry out for help and none was around?
    Don't try to tell me that you don't know the score
    Are you so shut down you can't feel anymore?
    
    Some momma's cryin', some daddy's sad
    When a kid goes bad
    Makes you wonder what made him mad
    When a kid goes bad
    
    When a kid goes bad...
    Bad... bad...
    Yeah, when a kid goes bad...
    Oh! Oh!
  6. Like a Diamond

    Lyrics: Like a Diamond

    Madmen crawl
    Across the wall
    Knight gets away
    Kings all fall
    Queens chase men
    Saints all sin
    And good things
    All must end
    
    But she goes on forever
    She goes on forever
    Yeah, she's gonna shine
    Forever
    Like a diamond
    In the sunlight
    
    Big full moon
    Above the road
    I'm a long long way
    From tomorrow
    Gotta light my way
    Down this highway
    TO get to her
    
    'Cause she goes on forever
    She goes on forever
    Yeah she's gonna shine
    Forever
    Like a diamond
    In the sunlight
    
    Deacons steal
    And Ma can't feel
    If you're lonely
    And behind the wheel
    When the ground gives way
    You have to pray
    To the unknown
    And hope it's real
    
    But she goes on forever
    She goes on forever
    She's gonna shine forever
    
    Like a diamond
    In the sunlight
  7. Lost Children

    Lyrics: Lost Children

    Lord please watch over
    All these lost children
    Born to chase the hurricane
    Please shine some light down
    On those who wander
    Filled with hunger and pain
    
    Please raise the wind
    For all those out sailing
    On an ocean alone
    Lord shine a light on
    All these lost children
    Far away from their home
    
    Lord keep an eye on
    All these lost children
    Swept away in the wind
    Please shine some light down
    On all those travelin'
    Lead them all home again
  8. Blue Sunday

    Lyrics: Blue Sunday

    She took a rolled up 20 out of her pocket
    And paid for my cigarettes
    We were friends at first sight in the 7-Eleven light
    She said "here, let me cover it"
    
    And I rode shotgun all that night
    She drove and never made a sound
    I asked if there was anything wrong,
    She said "nothin worth talking about?"
    
    It's a blue Sunday, down the interstate
    Yeah, a blue Sunday
    Blue with shades of gray
    
    Her backseat could have been a hotel
    I slept for a thousand years
    Every now and then she'd laugh out loud for no reason
    I pretended not to hear
    
    And rolled my jacket up under my head
    And stretched my body out
    Couldn't be too far in front of her daddy's bloodhounds,
    But I ain't gonna worry now
    
    It's a blue Sunday, down the interstate
    Yeah, a blue Sunday
    Blue with shades of gray
    
    A blue Sunday,
    We never met before
    It's a blue Sunday
    When it's time to leave you go
  9. You and Me

    Lyrics: You and Me

    Take a look at what I've got
    I can't promise you a lot
    But you and me
    And the road ahead
    
    I can't save you from yourself
    You got to want it all that's left
    Is you and me
    And the road ahead
    
    Wherever that wind might blow
    Wherever that river rolls
    You know I will go with you, mhmm
    
    Looking over the mountain's crown
    The water roars and tumbles down
    Like you and me
    And the road ahead
    
    Wherever that wind might blow
    Wherever that river rolls
    You know I will go with you, oh
    
    Oh
    
    Just you and me
    And the road ahead
    Just you and me
    And the road ahead

  11. Have Love Will Travel

    Lyrics: Have Love Will Travel

    You never had a chance, did you baby
    So good-looking, so insecure
    And now you say you can't remember
    When the lines you drew began to blur
    
    Yeah, when all of this is over
    Should I lose you in the smoke
    I want you to know you were the one
    
    And may my love travel with you everywhere
    Yeah, may my love travel with you always
    
    Maggie's still trying to rope a tornado
    Joe's in the back yard trying to keep things simple
    And the lonely DJ's digging a ditch
    Trying to keep the flames from the temple
    
    Oh, and if perhaps I lose you
    In the smoke down the road
    I want you to know you were the one
    
    And may my love travel with you everywhere
    Yeah, may my love travel with you always
    
    How about a cheer for all those bad girls
    And all the boys that play that rock and roll
    They love it like you love Jesus
    It does the same thing to their souls
    
    And when all of this is over
    Should I lose you in the smoke
    I want you to know that it's all right
    
    And may my love travel with you everywhere
    Yeah, may my love travel with you always
  12. Can't Stop the Sun

    Lyrics: Can't Stop the Sun

    Well you may take my money
    You may turn off my microphone
    But you can't steal
    What you can't feel
    Can't stop the sun - from shining, shining
    Down and down and down
    
    And you may think you control things
    But there'll be more just like me
    Who won't give in
    Who'll rise again
    Can't stop the world - from turning, turning
    'Round and 'round and 'round
    
    Hey mister bussiness man
    Be sure to wash your hands
    Be careful where you stand
    'Cause life goes on, and on, and on
    Life goes on, and on, and on
    
    And you may think it's all over
    But there'll be more just like me
    Who won't give in
    Who'll rise again
    Can't stop a man - from dreaming, dreaming
    On, and on, and on...

  1. Jefferson Jericho Blues

    Lyrics: Jefferson Jericho Blues

    Well, poor Tom Jefferson, he
    Loved the little maid out back
    Midnight creepin'
    Out to the servant shack
    Kept a secret under the bed
    Wrapped in a burlap sack
    Well, I drove all day and night
    Out to Jericho
    But in my second mind, I
    Knew it was time to go
    Every time that bugle blows
    Well, she ain't no good for me
    But I just can't let go
    If I sit here thinkin', my
    Thoughts will overflow
    And I can't keep from cryin', can't keep
    Time from movin' slow
    Well, poor Tom Jefferson, he
    Loved the little maid out back
    Midnight creepin'
  2. First Flash of Freedom

    Lyrics: First Flash of Freedom

    On our first flash of freedom
    I called out your name
    Love it is hard
    Like an overdue train
    We felt so much more
    Than our hearts could explain
    
    On our first flash of freedom
    
    A fistful of glory; a suitcase of sin
    The language you dream in
    When you count to ten
    You go to the edge
    And you always give in
    
    (Chorus)On our first flash of freedom
    
    Down every canyon and mountain we fall
    We laugh at our shadows
    Tall on the wall
    Your brain is so full
    But you can't keep it all
    
    (Chorus)On our first flash of freedom
    
    Across ancient bridges
    Through a town with no name
    Across painted hills
    That no rich man came claim
    Run the wild mustangs
    That nothing can tame
    
    (Chorus x2)On our first flash of freedom
    On our first flash of freedom
  3. Running Man’s Bible

    Lyrics: Running Man’s Bible

    You're with me tonight on this dark highway
    We've run it together
    So many times
    We've run it for money
    We've run it for music
    We've run it to pay for our innocent crimes
    I took on my father and I'm still walking
    Took on all comers in some shape or form
    And i see with the eyes of something wounded
    Something still standing after the storm
    
    Here's one to glory and survival
    And staying alive
    It's the running man's bible
    I been next in line
    
    I been next to nothing
    Been next to bystanders
    Who should have said something
    It was not in my vision
    It was not in my mind
    To return from a mission
    A man left behind
    
    Here's one to glory
    And survival
    And staying alive
    It's the running man's bible
    I don't speak of the times I've nearly died
    
    I don't speak of out lasting those who are gone
    Or the things I've done
    I care not to remember
    Or the desperate measures
    That might have been wrong
    Honey here's one to glory
    Here's to bad weather
    And all the hard things
    We've been through together
    
    Here's to the golden rule and survival
    And to staying alive
    It's the running man's bible
    Here's one to glory and survival
    And staying alive
    It's the running man's bible
  4. The Trip to Pirate’s Cove

    Lyrics: The Trip to Pirate’s Cove

    I took my few belongings, we headed out to Pirate's Cove
    In my buddy's old Defender, we ran until the gas got low
    We were flying close to heaven, everything was starting to glow
    Drivin' into sunset, rollin' 'cause we had to roll
    
    I think he was a preacher but, Lord, I can't recall his name
    He was running out of wind but talking to me just the same
    He said five'll get you ten but, boy, you've got to stay in the game
    Yeah, you got to let it ride or you've only got yourself to blame
    
    We lost a wheel in Santa Cruz so we partied with some motel maids
    My friend said: 'I don't like mine so what do you say we trade?'
    She was a part of my heart, now she's just a line in my face
    They let us go with a warning, said: 'We'd book you but we don't have a case'
    
    My friend said: 'Take her with you, to leave her here would be a crime'
    But let's get outta Santa Cruz, all I got is a Canadian dime
    I got a friend in Mendocino and it's gettin' close to harvest time
    And she was kinda cute if a little past her prime
    
    On the trip to Pirate's Cove
    On the trip to Pirate's Cove
    Drivin' into the sunset
    Drivin' into the sunset

    But I love my Eldorado ride
    I ain't never cared a thing about walking

    But I sure like the old moonshine
  6. No Reason to Cry

    Lyrics: No Reason to Cry

    All I'm wanting is to see you
    And to hold you once again
    And see the sun color your hair
    And see the tall grass blow in the wind

    Put me under a magic spell
    Overcome me all my sadness

    There's no reason to cry
    It's alright

    Lyrics: U.S. 41

    My daddy came a-marchin'
    Over the hill at dawn
    Had to make that wage, man
    That's how we got along
    My daddy's life was workin'
    Workin' all day long
    Put food on the table
    And the children sang a song
    Yes, the children sang a song
    My granddad's name was Pulpwood
    Wore a coat of green
    Took a wife in '31
    Drove the big machine
    My daddy load the lumber
    Put it on the truck

    Well, all my life's been workin'
    Out the door and gone

    Get out of the sun
    Burnin' up to make that wage
    On U.S. 41
    That's right, U.S. 41

    Keeps it goin' strong
    Blowin' like a hurricane
    And work like nothing wrong

    'Til the bell gone ring
    Fill her up with kerosene
    And let that lady sing
    Whoa, now let that lady sing
    His given name was Lucky
    His wife's name, Annie Brown
    Ran outside the law
    And they chased him right on down

    The captain drew his gun
    They put him with a sling blade
    On U.S. 41
    That's right, U.S. 41
    Oh
    Yeah, that's right
    On U.S. 41

    Gives me comfort so soft and low.

    Boy, that bottle belongs to the devil, better
    Leave it on the shelf.

    It hurts me to my bones
    To see him high in the morning
    And by evening see him gone.
    
    Boy, that women belongs to the captain, better

    It hurts me to my bones
    To see him high in the morning
    And by evening see him gone

    Could be the devil,
    Gonna want it for his own.

    And by evening see him gone

    And by evening see him gone
  14. Something Good Coming

    Lyrics: Something Good Coming

    Watching the water
    Watching the coast
    Suddenly I know
    What I want the most
    And I want to tell you
    Still I hold back
    I need some time
    Get my life on track
    I know that look on your face
    But there's something lucky about this place
    And there's something good coming
    For you and me
    Something good coming
    There has to be
    And I'm thinking about mama
    And about the kids
    And the way we lived
    And the things we did
    As she never had a chance
    Never caught a break
    And how we paid
    For our big mistakes
    I know so well the look on your face
    And there's something lucky about this place
    There's something good coming just over the hill
    There's something good coming I know it will
    And I'm in for the long run
    Wherever it goes
    Riding the river
    Wherever it goes
    And I'm an honest man
    Work's all I know
    You take that away
    Don't know where to go
    And I know that look that's on your face
    There's something lucky about this place
    There's something good coming
    For you and me
    Something good coming
    There has to be
  15. Good Enough

    Lyrics: Good Enough

    She was hell on her mama
    Impossible to please
    She wore out her daddy
    Got the best of me
    And there's somethin' about her
    That only I can see
    And that's good enough
    
    You're barefoot in the grass
    And you're chewin' sugarcane
    You got a little buzz on
    You're kissin' in the rain
    And if a day like this
    Don't ever come again
    Well that's good enough
    
    Good enough for me
    Good enough for right now, yeah
    
    Good enough for me
    Good enough for right now, yeah
    
    God bless this land
    God bless this whiskey
    I can't trust love
    It's far too risky
    
    If she marries into money
    She's still gonna miss me
    And that's good enough
    
    Gonna have to be good enough

Hypnotic Eye (2014)

  1. American Dream Plan B

    Lyrics: American Dream Plan B

    I'm gonna make my way through this world someday
    I don't care what nobody say
    American dream, political scheme
    I'm gonna find out for myself someday
    But I'm half-lit, I can't dance for shit
    But I see what I want, I go after it
    And my girl's alright, treats me nice
    Saying nothing but a woman puts out that light
    
    I got a dream I'm gonna fight till I get it
    I got a dream I'm gonna fight till I get it right
    Till I get it right
    
    Oh well, my baby no doubt dreams further out
    Making moves to get us someway someday
    Well my honey don't trip, shoots from the hip
    Tell me everything gonna be OK
    
    I got a dream I'm gonna fight till I get it
    I got a dream I'm gonna fight till I get it right
    Till I get it right
    
    Well, my mama so sad
    Daddy's just mad
    'Cause I ain't gonna have the chance he had
    My success is anybody's guess
    But like a fool, I'm betting on happiness
    
    I got a dream I'm gonna fight till I get it
    I got a dream I'm gonna fight till I get it right
    I got a dream I'm gonna fight till I get it
    I got a dream I'm gonna fight till I get it right
    Till I get it right
  2. Fault Lines

    Lyrics: Fault Lines

    See those fault lines
    Lay down like land mines
    It's hard to relax
    A promise broken
    The ground breaks open
    Love falls through the cracks
    
    And I've got a few of my own
    I've got a few of my own fault lines
    Running under my life
    Running under my life
    
    I'm alone here
    I play the odds, dear
    I go where I please
    Down the road
    A man I know might not be me
    
    And I've got a few of my own
    I've got a few of my own fault lines
    Running under my life
    Running under my life
    
    A faulty table
    Still is able not to fall flat
    
    And I've got a few of my own
    I've got a few of my own fault lines
    Running under my life
    Running under my life
  3. Red River

    Lyrics: Red River

    She's got a 3-D Jesus in a picture frame
    Got a child that she never named
    
    She shakes a snake above her hair
    Talks in tongues when there's no one there
    
    So meet me tonight at the Red River
    Where the water is clear and cold
    Meet me tonight at the Red River
    And look down into your soul
    Look down into your soul
    
    She's got a rosary and a rabbit's foot
    A black cat bone that treats her good
    
    A tiger tooth and a gris-gris stick
    Still it don't do the trick
    
    So meet me tonight at the Red River
    Where the water is clear and cold
    Meet me tonight at the Red River
    And look down into your soul
    Look down into your soul
    
    I'm gonna walk her down to gypsy town
    Find the spirit queen I've seen around
    Paint her body up in mud and clay
    Let the river wash it all away
    
    So meet me tonight at the Red River
    Where the water is clear and cold
    Meet me tonight at the Red River
    And look down into your soul
    Look down into your soul
    Look down into your soul
  4. Full Grown Boy

    Lyrics: Full Grown Boy

    I'd like to move on sure and easy
    Like a cat creeps through the grass
    And the foreman seems to know me
    Cause I found myself at last
    And I'm a full grown boy
    And there's laughter on the hillside
    From voices far away
    How'm I gonna tell her that I love her
    When this night might be the day
    And I'm a full grown boy
    Yeah
    My mind floats away
    Yeah
    And I'm changing every day
    Can you see her in the fire light
    Hear how soft and low she sings
    How'm I gonna tell her that I love her
    When words don't mean a thing
    And I'm a full grown boy
  5. All You Can Carry

    Lyrics: All You Can Carry

    I saw a ghost by the road tonight
    Then my mind went away with me
    I had a vision in the changing light
    Something said that it's time to leave
    
    Take what you can
    All you can carry
    Take what you can
    And leave your thoughts behind
    
    Take what you can
    All you can carry
    Take what you can
    And leave the thoughts behind
    We got to run
    
    I saw the flames coming across the bridge
    Falling ashes in the northern wind
    You and I have burned every bridge
    
    And now we got to save our souls again
    
    Take what you can
    All you can carry
    Take what you can
    And leave your thoughts behind
    
    Take what you can
    All you can carry
    Take what you can
    And leave the thoughts behind
    We got to run
    
    -Instrumental-
    
    There is something moving in the dark outside
    I gotta face it when it hits the light
    No one can say I didn't have your side
    No one say I left without a fight
    
    Take what you can
    All you can carry
    Take what you can
    And leave your thoughts behind
    Take what you can
    All you can carry
    Take what you can
    And leave the thoughts behind
    We got to run
  6. Power Drunk

    Lyrics: Power Drunk

    Who's gonna come and take this badass down?
    Who's gonna come and burn his playhouse down?
    Can you see me against the sun
    Crying out to reach someone
    
    He's power drunk
    Yeah, look at his eyes
    Better sober up
    It's the truth within him makes a good man rise
    
    God protect us from the thoughts in some men's minds
    God protect us from the pain he leaves behind
    Now you see him against the sky
    Believing in his own lies
    
    And he's power drunk
    Yeah, look at his eyes
    Better sober up
    It's the truth within him makes a good man rise
    
    Pin on a badge and a man begins to change
    Starts believing that there's nothing out of his range
    You and I are left in the wind
    In the wake of a rich man's sin
    
    And he's power drunk
    Yeah, look at his eyes
    Better sober up
    It's the truth within him makes a good man rise
    Make a good man rise
  7. Forgotten Man

    Lyrics: Forgotten Man

    Well, I feel like a forgotten man
    I understand the dark
    When it hangs upon the water
    When the wolves and dogs all bark
    
    Well, I feel like a fogotten man
    I feel like a forgotten man
    
    Well, I feel like a four letter word
    I know what few can do
    How angry words can pierce a heart
    How a soul can sink so low
    
    I feel like a forgotten man
    Yes, I feel like a forgotten man
    
    Well, I feel like I'm forever damned
    Since our love is gone
    No lust, no rage, no wicked thoughts
    Just pain, that lingers on
    I feel like a fogotten man
    I feel like a forgotten man
    Yes, I feel like a forgotten man
  8. Sins of My Youth

    Lyrics: Sins of My Youth

    You will find no wicked way in me
    Look me over, you will see
    You will find no weary change
    I'm worn and wounded,
    But still the same
    
    Whoa...
    Let me tell you the truth
    I love you more
    Than the sins of my youth
    
    When the past gets up in your face
    Memories slide out of place
    All those things that were hidden away
    Ain't so bad in the light of day
    
    Whoa...
    Let me tell you the truth
    I love you more
    Than the sins of my youth
    
    You say you love me
    Wish you'd like me more
    I'm no angel that's for sure
    Said you forgave me,
    Each time I was caught
    But you still paint me as somethin' I'm not
    
    Whoa...
    Let me tell you the truth
    I love you more
    Than the sins of my youth
    
    I love you more
    Than the sins of my youth
  9. U Get Me High

    Lyrics: U Get Me High

    I remember feeling like this
    Diggin' was as a child
    Inspiration in my fingertips
    Imagination running wild
    
    Ohhh ohhh, you get me high
    You get me high
    You give me something so deep
    You get me high
    
    I remember feeling this way
    You can lose it without knowing
    You wake up and you don't know which way
    The wind is blowing
    
    Ohhh ohhh, you get me high
    You get me high
    You give me something so deep
    You get me high
    
    I ain't afraid of what people say
    Ain't afraid of the great deception
    Every bad dream comes my way
    Trying to smoke on closer inspection
    
    Ohhh ohhh, you get me high
    You get me high
    You give me something so deep
    You get me high
    
    You get me high
    You get me high
    You give me something so deep
    You get me high
  10. Burnt Out Town

    Lyrics: Burnt Out Town

    Yeah!
    I was walking down the street the other day
    A woman stopped me
    She said: why are you loking so down in the mouth?
    And I told her
    
    This is a burnt out town
    Is full of dirty looks
    The ashes are mainstream
    And the mayor is cooking the books
    
    I even like those friends
    I turn them into crooks
    
    Yeah this is the burnt out town
    You wear the same clothes
    They dancing on the glass ceilings
    While the money flows
    
    She doesn't know who I am
    She doesn't care
    
    Yeah!
    Take that, honey!
    
    This is the burnt out town
    The city has come to blow
    It's a cruel reality
    A decent life exposed
    
    Yeah, it's the burnt out town
    It's going down but no one knows
    Yeah, it's the burnt out town
    Ain't there but we're getting close
  11. Shadow People

    Lyrics: Shadow People

    Shadow people
    What's in their head?
    In the car next to you
    When the light turns red
    
    Could be thinkin' of love
    Might be thinkin' of hate
    I guess it pretty much
    Could go either way
    
    Shadow people, in shadow land
    Like when thinkin' of great art
    And eloquent words
    That one strapped on a gun
    And joined up with the herd
    
    That one set???? water
    Got some food stored away
    For the war that is comin' on the judgement day
    
    Shadow people, in shadow land
    
    And this one carries a gun for the USA
    He's a 21st century man
    And he's scary as hell
    'Cause when he afraid
    He will destroy anything
    He don't understand
    
    Well, I ain't on the left
    And I ain't on the right
    I ain't even sure
    I got a dog in this fight
    
    And my time of need
    And my time of greed
    I feel like a shadow's fallin' over me
    Like shadow people, in shadow land
    Shadow people, in shadow land
    Shadow people, in shadow land
    Waiting for the sun to be straight overhead
    'Till we ain't got no shadow at all

  1. Runnin' Down A Dream

    Lyrics: Runnin' Down A Dream

    It was a beautiful day, sun beat down
    I had the radio on, I was driving
    Trees went by, me and Del were singing
    Little runaway, I was flying
    
    Yeah, running down a dream
    It never would come to me
    Working on a mystery
    Going wherever it leads
    Runnin' down a dream
    
    I felt so good, like anything was possible
    Hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes
    The last three days, the rain was unstoppable
    It was always cold, no sunshine
    
    Yeah, runnin' down a dream
    It never would come to me
    Working on a mystery
    I'm going wherever it leads
    Runnin' down a dream
    
    I rolled on, the sky grew dark
    I put the pedal down to make some time
    There's something good waiting down this road
    I'm picking up whatever is mine
    
    I'm runnin' down a dream
    It never would come to me
    Working on a mystery
    I'm going wherever it leads
    I'm runnin' down a dream
    
    Yeah, I'm running down a dream
    It never would come to me
    Working on a mystery
    I'm going wherever it leads
    I'm running down a dream

  1. I Won't Back Down

    Lyrics: I Won't Back Down

    Well, I won't back down
    No, I won't back down
    You can stand me up at the gates of hell
    But I won't back down
    
    No, I'll stand my ground
    Won't be turned around
    And I'll keep this world from draggin' me down
    Gonna stand my ground
    And I won't back down
    
    I won't back down
    Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
    I won't back down
    Hey I will stand my ground
    And I won't back down
    
    Well I know what's right
    I got just one life
    In a world that keeps on pushin' me around
    But I stand my ground
    And I won't back down
    
    I won't back down
    Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
    I won't back down
    Hey, I will stand my ground
    And I won't back down
    
    I won't back down
    Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
    I won't back down
    Hey, I won't back down
    I won't back down
    Hey baby, there ain't no easy way out
    I won't back down
    Hey, I will stand my ground
    And I won't back down
    No, I won't back down
