Alright!
My girl, my girl had a hold on me
So tight, so tight that I could not see
Girl, she had a hold on me, she held so tight that I could not see
My girl, my girl had a hold on me
One day, one day I let her go
It hurt, it hurt so, you'll never know
The day I had to let her go, it hurt so bad that you cannot know
One day, one day I let her go.
At night, at night I cry alone
I weap, I weap 'til the early morn'
At night, I cry alone, I weap all night, til the early morn'
At night, at night I cry alone
How you hurt me, oh how you cause me pain
Well hurt like mine you could never never understand
Never understand
I remember the tears were in my eyes
River town is burning, the clouds they roll on by, roll on by
She said I'm alright if you're hangin' on
Be your shoulder, lay your troubles on, your troubles on.
I need you, need you by my side
Lonely evenings, eyes are open wide
Nothing you say could make me change my mind
Well I see you, and you see me too
Moon is rising, night will be here soon
Follow me, and lay down in my room
Hold me, hold me in your arms
Well now heal me, heal me with your touch
Your touch keeps me hangin' on
If you wanna go and leave your man
Go on, I'll understand
But then the night gets dark, all is still
Pray for me, I know you will
Hard row to hoe all by yourself
You hit the city, it swallow you whole
Y'got no friends darlin', t'satisfy your soul
And then the sidewalk ends, lights all red, y'say t'yourself, y'better off dead
Hard row to hoe all by yourself
Walk out on me, walk out on him
You need no man to do you in
But if the night gets dark, all is still
I'll pray for you, you know I will
Hard row to hoe all by yourself
All by yourself x3
Hear her calling - come to me
Thought of her wont let me be
Go to the valley, climb the hill
Whatever it takes darling, you know I will
Hey now darling
Heavy soul darling x4
Hear her callin' hurry home
Been so long since I been gone
I wont get tired wont go astray
I hear her callin' call my name
Hey now darling
Heavy soul darling x4
Just my color, just my kind
Got a heavy soul next to mine
Heart's on fire - get no sleep
Drive all night - no relief
Yeah now darling
Heavy soul darling x4
I got up this morning
Put on my shoes
Tied my shoes
Went to the mirror
But I combed my hair
I made a move
Know what to do
Tried to break and run
Baby this aint me
Baby this aint me
Grown so ugly
Grown so ugly
Don't even know myself
Don't even know myself
Left and gone
1964
Walking down the street
Knocking for my baby
My baby come out
And ask me who I am
I say honey
Honey don't you know your man
She said my man's been gone
Since 1942
I tell you Mr. Ugly
He didn't look like you
Keep me clean
Keep me warm
Keep my soul away from harm
Keep the night
Keep the day
Keep the in-between away
Hold that second
Hold the time
Hold that picture in your mind
Hold the smoke
Hold the fire
Hold all that that you desire
Show me trust
Show me love
Show me heaven up above
Show your soul
Show your mind
Show it to me all the time
"Lean forward slightly, Look straight at the speaker and listen with a sparkle in your eye as though you might be thinking 'gee this is the most wonderful thing I've ever heard in all my life'"
Back in the day, we were eye to eye
The thought of you has me runnin' wild
They say love lost will never grow but hey, hey, hey I still love you so
Oh when we met you know the sun did shine from your eyes back into mine
Oh if the sun shines no more, hey, hey, hey, I still love you so
I'll beg the moon and the stars above, bring me back my - that gal I love
I know you're gone, you're gone for sure, but hey, hey, hey, I still love you so
Stack shot Billy in the back of the head
Stack made sure Billy Lyons was dead
.45 pistol down in Stack´s right hand
sent him away to the promised land
Stack shot Billy...45
Stack shot Billy
Billy laid down and died...
Stack Lee had himself an evil brain
Loved his gun and his sweet cocaine
But Stack got quit when shadows fell
Cause he knew soon enough he´d burn in hell
Stack shot Billy....45
Stack shot Billy
Billy laid down and died...
*repeat 1st verse and chorus*
You let me know
How you've changed
I can't tell
In any way
But a village
Is not a town
Just couldn't tie me down
You sent a message
To my mind
Without reason
Without rhyme
Happiness
Come around
Just couldn't tie me down
Feel the wind
Hit your skin
I see the shade
Put me in
So you're talking
Other sounds
Just couldn't tie me down
She said - I know what it's like to be dead, I know what it is to be sad
And she's making me feel like I never was born
I said - who put all those things in your head, things that make me feel like I'm mad
And you're making me feel like I never was born
She said you don't understand what I've said
I said no, no, no you're wrong, when I was a boy -
Everything was right x2
I said even though you know what you know I know that I'm ready to leave
Cause you're makin' me feel like I never was born
She said x4
You hold on to love that's gone
Run a mile to see him smile
But you don't know he's door to door playin' you for the fool
Let him go, walk out your door
And come to me
Im gonna set you free
Now you look and there you go back to him, he's gonna do you in
Tear you down and run you around
Treat you wrong and then he's gone
Let him go, walk out your door
And come to me
I'm gonna set you free
You hold on to love that's gone
Run a mile to see him smile
But you don't know he's door to door playin' you for the fool
Let him go, walk out your door
And come to me
I'm gonna set you free
I'll set you free x5
don't it hurt so bad
when you're standin in the sun
in the bottom of your heart
you don't love no one
you can be oh so mean
I just can't see, no in between
you know what the sun's all about
when the lights go out
what a way to live
back of your class
end of the line
always last
you can be oh so mean
I just can't see, no in between
you know what the sun's all about
when the lights go out
see the moon
see the stars
from your lonely seat
in your lonely cars
you can be oh so mean
I just can't see, no in between
you know what the sun's all about
when the lights go out
Love me, don't leave me
Make me feel you need me
You kill me and thrill me
Don't you know that I will be
Callin on you everyday
'Till I get my way
Darling, I wonder
How you pulled me under
You kill me and thrill me
Don't you know that I will be
Callin on you everyday
'Till I get my way
'Till I get my way
Darlin, remember
The cold, cold nights in December
You kill me, and thrill me
Don't you know that I will be
Callin on you everyday
'Till I get my way
'Till I get my way
'Till I get my way
'Till I get my way
Here I am, ??? darling
And I'll care for you - hey that's all I want to do
Hold me, love me, in your heart
And I'll hold you near and I'll whisper in your ear
I'll take your hand and I'll make you understand
Hold me, love me in your heart
Hey, can you see my cryin'
Hey, don't you see me dyin
When I look into them eyes
I know that I did you wrong - the pain it lasted so long
But if you don't bring me back this time, I swear Im gonna lose my mind
Hey, can you see me running
Hey, don't you know I'm comin
When I think about them eyes
tell me where you're goin or
what is going wrong
I felt you leavin before
you'd even gone
and hold me now
or never ever hold me again
no more talk
can take me away from this pain I'm in
see the moonlight shinin on
your window pane
see it leave you as
faithful as it came
please yourself so you
don't have to be afraid
make amends
or carry on another way
tell me what you were thinkin
to treat somebody so
the care he took the
lengths to which he'd go
coals are hot to walk
across without your shoes
but in the end
know that you got nothin to lose
See her walkin with a fella
Two of them so nice and mellow
Hey hey, hey hey hey
My heart is broken, open wide
Feel so down, deep inside
Hey hey, hey hey hey
Run me down in the winter, run me down spring, got to the place - can't do a goddamn thing
But after a while, you ain't gonna run me down anymore
Run me down in the city, run me down on the farm, run me with your eyes and your heady charm ???
But after a while, you ain't gonna run me down anymore
I do for you, lord do for me, you run me down, where you want me to be
But after a while, you ain't gonna run me down anymore
Midnight is in her eyes
Tear drops like a child
You never thought about goin' wrong
Now you wonder where your man has gone
Midnight is in her eyes
Lately you're feeling low
Heartache on the floor
Your manic ways have got the best of you
But your heart is gonna see you through
Lately, you're feeling low
I see her everywhere
Long amber hair
Calling out my name
I'm calling just the same
Midnight is in her eyes
Tear drops like a child
You never thought about goin' wrong
Now you wonder where your man has gone
Midnight is in her eyes
Goin' upstairs to pack my leavin' trunk
I ain't seen no whiskey - woman make me sloppy
Ain't seen no whisky - woman made me drunk
Goin' back home - where I had much better luck
Look here darling - want me to be your king
Said you're kiddin' darling - gotta keep it hid
Don't let your main man - your husband catch me here
Don't let your main man - your husband catch me here

He found all hands against his own
Found all eyes were looking down
And the sun had left and gone
All his friends could not be found
Don't talk about
Don't think about love
She's not the one
You're dreaming of
Don't talk about it
Can't live without it
You say you're alone
He found all hands against his own
He found the sky it turned to grey
And the clouds start rolling in
Got no use for what they say
Got no use for where they been
Don't talk about
Don't think about love
She's not the one
You're dreaming of
Don't talk about it
Can't live without it
You say you're alone
He found all hands against his own
You say you're alone
He found all hands against his own
You say you're alone
He found all hands against his own
You say you're alone
He found all hands against his own
He found all hands against his own
No light from up above
Just a dark and lonely road
He found all hands against his own
I'm on an airplane
Close to sea
Going nowhere
I wanna be
Distant lands
Don't know who I am
Eyes are heavy
Mind is shook
Can't feel
Drugs I took
Distant lands
Don't know who I am
Take your seat
Don't be shy
Got to remember
You're gonna die
Distant lands
Don't know who I am
Don't know who I am
Don't know who I am
Where'd you get those fancy clothes?
Where'd you get those, goodness knows...
Just show some civility.
Act nice, act nice and gentle to me.
I don't need no luxury...
as long as you are understanding.
I'm not difficult to please.
Act nice, and gentle to me.
I am the kind of guy
who likes to take you as I found you.
Throw away your false eye lashes.
Act nice, act nice to me.
Hold my hand.
Understand.
Act nice.
Act nice, act nice and gentle to me.
Hold my hand.
Understand.
and gentle to me
Act nice, act nice and gentle to me.
But there is one voice that has never been heard before,
The voice of old Mr. World himself,
The way he might sound if he could speak to us in our own language.
Mr. World, how was this wonderful orderly Earth of ours formed in the first place,
And how long has it been going on?
I am the Earth, the planet you call home.
Scientists believe I am at least four and a half billion years old.
What about the night
Makes you change
From sweet to deranged?
What about my voice
Tells you who
Who's been wrong to you?
You've got pain
Like an addict
I'm leaving you
You got pain
Like an addict
10 am automatic
I see darkness
Cover us
And your car
Kicks up dust
What about my ways
Makes you doubt
All these words from my mouth?
Said I want you here with me - darling I need you, can you see I got the yearnin
We've all day, I want your love - your special way
I love, I love your smile - oh darlin don't you drive me wild
I heard you call my name and I was callin just the same
And I want you by my side - I'm yearning
I can't deny you got a hold, a hold on me
Oh darling don't you let me leave
And I want you here with me, darling I need you
Can't you see I got the yearnin'
We've all day, I want your love - your special way
I love, I love your smile
Oh darling don't you drive me wild
Oh baby what I would do for one minute alone with you
You got me trembling way down inside
And your love I just can't hide
Darling I need you, woohoo!
Darling I need you
She wanna get outta the car in the middle of the road
And her screaming and hollerin' is getting mighty old
She check every paper when you step out the room
Ain't go no trust in your mama
Ain't got no trust in your daddy
Ain't got no trust in your sister
And she ain't got trust in you

Oh, but she want you to hold her at night when shes lonely and blue
Ain't go no trust in your mama

And she ain't got trust in you

Oh, she hates your job and what you want him to do
Ain't go no trust in your mama
Ain't got no trust in your daddy
Ain't got no trust in your sister
And she ain't got trust in you
Girl is on my mind...

Well my heart goes out to you in your time of need
But you cause me pain most every time you breathe.
