  1. Well, the pressure's down, the boss ain't here, He gone North, he ain't around, They say that vanity got the best of him But he sure left here after sundown. By the way, that's a cute hat, And that smile's so hard to resist But what's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this? You know, I once knew a woman who looked like you, She wanted a whole man, not just a half, She used to call me sweet daddy when I was only a child, You kind of remind me of her when you laugh. In order to deal in this game, got to make the queen disappear, It's done with a flick of the wrist. What's a sweetheart
  2. They ask me how I feel And if my love is real And how I know I'll make it through. And they, they look at me and frown, They'd like to drive me from this town, They don't want me around 'Cause I believe in you. They show me to the door, They say don't come back no more 'Cause I don't be like they'd like me to, And I walk out on my own A thousand miles from home But I don't feel alone 'Cause I believe in you. I believe in you even through the tears and the laughter, I believe in you even though we be apart. I believe in you even on the morning after. Oh, when the dawn is nearing Oh, when th
  3. Oh the time will come up When the winds will stop And the breeze will cease to be breathin'. Like the stillness in the wind 'Fore the hurricane begins, The hour when the ship comes in. Oh the seas will split And the ship will hit And the sands on the shoreline will be shaking. Then the tide will sound And the wind will pound And the morning will be breaking. Oh the fishes will laugh As they swim out of the path And the seagulls they'll be smiling. And the rocks on the sand Will proudly stand, The hour that the ship comes in. And the words that are used For to get the ship confused Will n
  4. At dawn my lover comes to me And tells me of her dreams With no attempts to shovel the glimpse Into the ditch of what each one means At times I think there are no words But these to tell what's true And there are no truths outside the Gates of Eden
  5. She stands on the banks of the mighty Mississippi Alone in the pale moonlight Waiting for a man, a riverboat gambler Said that he'd return tonight They used to waltz on the banks of the mighty Mississippi Loving the whole night through 'Til the riverboat gambler went off to make a killing And bring it on back to you. Evangeline, Evangeline Curses the soul of the Mississippi queen That pulled her man away. Bayou Sam, from the South Lousianne Had gambling in his veins Evangeline, from the Maritimes Was slowly going insane. Evangeline, Evangeline Curses the soul of the Mississippi queen Tha
  6. Sometimes Most of the time means... Most of the time I'm clear focused all around, Most of the time I can keep both feet on the ground, I can follow the path, I can read the signs, Stay right with it, when the road unwinds, I can handle whatever I stumble upon, I don't even notice she's gone, Most of the time. Most of the time It's well understood, Most of the time I wouldn't change it if I could, I can't make it all match up, I can hold my own, I can deal with the situation right down to the bone, I can survive, I can endure And I don't even think about her Most of the time. Most of the
  7. Caught between the twisted stars the plotted lines the faulty map that brought Columbus to New York Betwixt between the East and West he calls on her wearing a leather vest the earth squeals and shudders to a halt A diamond crucifix in his ear is used to help ward off the Fear that he has left his soul in someone's rented car Inside his pants he hides a mop to clean the mess that he has dropped into the life of lithesome Juliette Bell And Romeo wanted Juliette and Juliette wanted Romeo And Romeo wanted Juliette and Juliette wanted Romeo Romeo Rodriguez squares his shoulders and curses Jesu
  8. Actually...it means I am just about over my being pissed off at you guys and am considering a return engagement. (No...really these are the opening verses of the best songs ever recorded).
  9. Early one morning the sun was shinin'. I was laying in bed wonderin' if she'd changed at all if her hair was still red. Her Folks said our lives together sure was gonna be rough. They never did like mama's homemade dress...pappa's bank book wasn't big enough. And I was standin' on the side of the road, rain fallin' on my shoes heading out for the East Coast. Lord knows I've paid some dues gettin' through, Tangled up in blue. The Screendoor slams, Mary's dress waves. Like a vision she dances across the porch as the radio plays Roy Orbison singing for the lonely. Hey that's me and I want you
  10. You got a lotta nerve To say you are my friend When I was down You just stood there grinning You got a lotta nerve To say you got a helping hand to lend You just want to be on The side that's winning You say I let you down You know it's not like that If you're so hurt Why then don't you show it You say you lost your faith But that's not where it's at You had no faith to lose And you know it I know the reason That you talk behind my back I used to be among the crowd You're in with Do you take me for such a fool To think I'd make contact With the one who tries to hide What he don't kno
  11. I'll post this one again because I love it I still smell tobacco on my fingers My breath reeks of pot and wine and sex My eyes open up like they haven

  13. Now listen Julie baby, It ain't natural for you to cry in the midnight, It ain't natural for you to cry Way in the midnight through, Until the wee small hours Long 'fore the break of dawn, oh Lord. Now Julie there ain't nothin' on my mind More further away than what you're lookin' for, I see the way they jump at me Lord, from behind the door, and look into my eyes, Your little star stuck innuendos, Inadequacies, foreign bodies. And the sunlight shining through the crack in the window pane Numbs my brain And the sunlight shining through the crack in the window pane Numbs my brain, oh, Lord.
  14. There she goes There she goes again Racing through my brain And I just can't contain This feeling that remains There she blows There she blows again Pulsing through my veins And I just can't contain This feeling that remains There she goes (There she goes again) There she goes again (There she goes again) Racing through my brain (There she goes) And I just can't contain This feeling that remains There she goes There she goes again She calls my name she pulls my train No one else could heal my pain And I just can't contain This feeling that remains There she goes (She calls my name) The

  17. One soft infested summer me and Terry became friends Trying in vain to breathe the fire we was born in Catching rides to the outskirts tying faith between our teeth Sleeping in that old abandoned beach house getting wasted in the heat And hiding on the backstreets, hiding on the backstreets With a love so hard and filled with defeat Running for our lives at night on them backstreets Slow dancing in the dark on the beach at Stockton's Wing Where desperate lovers park we sat with the last of the Duke Street Kings Huddled in our cars waiting for the bells that ring In the deep heart of the nigh
  18. She's waitin' for me when I get home from work oh, but things ain't just the same She turns out the light and cries in the dark won't answer when I call her name On the stairs I smoke a cigarette alone Mexican kids are shootin' fireworks below Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July She gives me her cheek when I want her lips but I don't have the strength to go On the lost side of town in a dark apartment we gave up trying so long ago On the stairs I smoke a cigarette alone Mexican kids are shootin' fireworks below Hey baby, it's the Fourth of July Hey baby, i
  19. It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe It don't matter, anyhow An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe If'n you don't know by now When your rooster crows at the break of dawn Look out your window and I'll be gone You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on Don't think twice, it's all right It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe That light I never knowed An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe I'm on the dark side of the road Still I wish there was somethin' you would do or say To try and make me change my mind and stay We never did too much talkin' anyway So don't thin
  20. When they call your name Will you walk right up With a smile on your face Or will you cower in fear In your favorite sweater With an old love letter I wish you would I wish you would Come pick me up Take me out Fuck me up Steal my records Screw all my friends They're all full of shit With a smile on your face And then do it again I wish you would When you're walking downtown Do you wish I was there Do you wish it was me With the windows clear and the mannequins eyes Do they all look like mine You know you could I wish you would Come pick me up Take me out Fuck m
