All the wild horses
All the wild horses
Tethered with tears in their eyes
May no man's touch ever tame
May no man's reigns ever chain you
And may no man's weight ever defrayed your soul
And as for the clouds
Just let them roll
Roll away
Roll away
As for the clouds
Just let them roll
Roll away

Sun was low and I awoke today
Grass is high and brown and I am down and out and gray
I am only saying that..
I am only saying that..
I am only saying I need you
Can we talk awhile something real?
No more what to think
Know what to feel
I am only saying that..
I am only saying that..
I am only saying I need you
Lord, I've been so long away
Long away
So long
Lord, I've been so long away
Long away
So long
Oh Lord, I've been so long away
So long away
So long
Yea, Lord, I've been so long away
So long

Come to me, with a gentle touch,
Love so real, but it was far too much
For a boy like me, with a worried mind
to leave you, i had to close my eyes
Won't need to say please,
baby i can say please,
I won't need to get down on my knees,
baby i can get down on my knees,
i can say... please
My will was strong, but my legs were weak,
I could not walk and i could not speak,
And the love you gave, was some way down south,
Baby i was born just to kiss you mouth,
Won't need to say please,
baby i can say please,
I won't need to get down on my knees,
baby i can get down on my knees,
i can say... please
so you became bored of me,
And i became bored of you,
I had no choice but to lie to you, ya see
but i told you the truth, baby you would have set me
free
Won't need to say please,
baby i can say please,
I won't need to get down on my knees,
baby i can get down on my knees,
I can say... please,
I can say please, i can make it... please
oh no i aint afraid to beg.... please please please
please
down on my knees

There comes a time
A time in everyone's life
When nothing seems to go their way
When nothing seems to turn out right
There may come a time
You just can't seem to find your place
For every door you open
Seems like you get two slammed in your face
That's when you need someone
Someone that you can call
When all your faith is gone
It feels like you can't go on
Let it be me
Let it be me
If it's a friend you need
Let it be me
Let it be me
Feels like you always coming up last
Pockets full of nothing
Ain't got no cash
Don't matter where you turn
You ain't got no place to stand
You reach out for something and they slap your hand
I remember all too well
Just how it feels to be all alone
You feel like you'd give anything
For just a little place you can call your own
That's when you need someone
Someone that you can call
When all your faith is gone
It feels like you can't go on
Let it be me
Let it be me
If it's a friend you need
Let it be me
Let it be me
Let it be me
Let it be me
If it's a friend you need
Let it be me
Let it be me

When you came to me with your bad dreams and your fears
It was easy to see that you'd been crying
Seems like everywhere you turn catastrophe it reigns
But who really profits from the dying
I could hold you in my arms
I could hold you forever
I could hold you in my arms
I could hold you in my arms forever
When you kissed my lips with my mouth so full of questions
It's my worried mind that you quiet
Place your hands on my face
Close my eyes and say
Love is a poor man's food
Don't prophesize
I could hold you in my arms
I could hold you forever
And I could hold you in my arms
I could hold you forever
So now we see how it is
This fist begets the spear
Weapons of war
Symptoms of madness
Don't let your eyes refuse to see
Don't let your ears refuse to hear
Or you ain't never going to shake this sense of sadness
I could hold you in my arms
I could hold on forever
And I could hold you in my arms

I'm a-gonna buy me an acre of land
Yes, I'm gonna build me a home with my very own hands
Gonna dig me a little garden
And watch that garden grow
And take it slow
Take it slow
Let it grow
I'm a-gonna find me a high place to stand
Then I'm gonna find me the girl, gonna take my hand
Gonna have ourselves some children
Watch those children grow
And take it slow
Let them grow
Take it slow
I'm a-gonna buy me an acre of land
Then I'm gonna build me a home with my very own hands
Gonna plant me a little garden
And watch that garden grow
And take it slow
Take it slow

Who am I to tell her
Who am I to play god
Who am I to think I can go it alone
Something tells me girl this is bringing you down
Something tells me this is bringing me down
We've been through some changes
Always seem to hold on
Lately it feel like you can't take anymore
Something tells me girl this is bringing you down
Something tells me girl this is bringing you down
Forever my friend
Forever my love
Forever the woman that I'm thinking of
I just think if we keep our hearts together
Just think if we build on this trust that we have for one another
Baby we can make this last a lifetime
Who am I to tell her
Who am I to play god
I don't know just what's for real anymore
Something tells me girl this is bringing you down
Something tells me girl this is bringing you down
Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right
Maybe it's the last thing you want to hear me say
I just think if we keep out hearts together
I just think if we build on this trust that we have for one another
Maybe we can make this last a lifetime
Forever my friend
Forever my love
Forever the woman
That I'm thinking of
I just think if we keep our hearts together
I just think if we will build on this trust that we have for one another

Can I stay here with you til the morning
I am so far from home
And I feel a little stoned
Can I stay here till the morning
There’s nothing I want more than to wake up on your floor
Lay with me in your thinnest dress
Fill my heart with each caress
Between your blissful kisses
Whisper darling is this love
Can I stay here with you till day breaks
There something you should know I ain’t got no place to go
Can I stay here with you till the day breaks
How happy it would make me to see your face when I awake
Lay with me in your thinnest dress
Fill my heart with each caress
Between your blissful kisses
Whisper darling is this love
Can I stay here with you through the night time
I’ve fallen sad inside
And I need a place to hide
Can I stay here with you through the nighttime
I’m all alone and blue
Won’t you take me to your room
Lay with me in your thinnest dress
Fill my heart with each caress
Between your blissful kisses
Whisper darling is this love

Goin' out of my mind
Don't even know my own name half the time
How'd I get so blind that I couldn't see
What was right in front of me?
Wish I was wrong
I wish that you were right here lyin' in my arms
Deep down inside I got to face the truth
That you're not comin' home
This love is over
This love is over
God knows I tried
Everything I could to keep you satisfied
Bein' my baby was just a part you played
All some kind of game
Just like a child
Just like a child you got to have your way
Nothin' ventured, nothing gained
Now there's nothin' left to say
This love is over
This love is over
Baby, I know I'll get along
Sometimes you got to make it on your own
It's more than my pride that's got me all tied
Up inside, girl, it's all the lyin'
Think it's time to close the door
I don't wanna cry anymore
It's just not worth the fightin' for this love
It's over
This love is over
This love is over

Are you still in love with me
Like the way you used to be or is it changing?
Does it deepen over time like the river
That is winding through the Canyon?
Are you still in love with her?
Do you remember how you were before the sorrow?
Are you closer for the tears
Or has the weight of all the years left you hollow?
Are we strangers now?
Like the Ziegfeld Gal and the Vaudeville show?
Are we strangers now
Like rock and roll and the radio?
Like rock and roll and radio
I can see you lyin' there
Tying ribbons in your hair and pullin' faces
I can feel your hand in mine
Though were living separate lives in separate places
Are we strangers now?
Like the Ziegfeld Gal and the Vaudeville show?
Are we strangers now?
Like rock and roll and the radio?
Like rock and roll and radio
All these white lies hanging like flies on the wall
Hard wired, road tired
Counting curtain calls and waiting
Waiting for the axe to fall
Are you still in love with me
Like the way you used to be or is it changing?
Does it deepen over time, like the river
That is winding through the Canyon?
Are we strangers now?
Like the Ziegfeld Gal and the Vaudeville show?
Are we strangers now?
Like rock and roll and the radio?

Meg White, you're alright
In fact I think you're pretty swell, can't you tell?
Meg White, such a pretty thing
I saw your face on the cover of a magazine
Someday I'd like to take a walk with you
Maybe ride our bikes down by the seaside
Meg White, saw you on the big screen
Oh Jack was Gene but she stole the scene
Meg White, baby you're the bomb
Oh Jack is great don't get me wrong but this is your song
Someday I'd like to take a walk with you
And talk about most anything you'd like to talk about
And watch the sun going down, going down
Playing those drums is what you do, it's true
Nobody plays them quite like you do
Meg White, you're alright
In fact I think you're pretty swell, can't you tell?
Meg White, such a pretty thing
I saw your face on the cover of a magazine
Someday I'd like to take a walk with you
Maybe ride our bikes down by the seaside
To watch the sun going down, going down

When we first met we were kids, we were wild, we were insects
And after a while I grew coarse, I grew cold, I grew reckless
I hold this memory, hold you so close to me
Whispered we'll be always happy
Lately it feels like I'm asleep and I just can't wake up
Pacing the floor, want to call but I can't so I hang up
Sharing a secret on the train with a lady
Who's crying has ruined her make up
Now I see just how young, how scared I was
Eyes closed tight, throwing punch after punch at the world
Sarah, is it ever gonna be the same?
Sarah, is it ever gonna be the same?
Said goodbye to all the places I used to go
Said goodbye to all the faces I used to know
Nothing lasts forever
I guess by now I should know, I should know
There ain't a thing I can say that will ever repair
And you, who had so much advice and yet couldn't share
Maybe someday we will look back on this
And we'll smile but right now I can't bear
Now I see just how young, how scared I was
Eyes closed tight, throwing punch after punch at the world
Sarah, is it ever gonna be the same?

All my life I been poor boy son,
Scratchin' for my meat
I have been kicked in my teeth,
Till the blood run hot and sweet
I seen a lot of living my friend,
And this I will repeat,
Just because you knock a man down
Don't mean that you got hime beat
It's a shame,shame,shame
Baby it's a cryin' shame
Henry nearly killed me,
'Fore they hauled his ass in jail
Slapped me right across my face
With a flour sack full o' nails
Nearly broke my head in two
With his steel-toed boots
Shovin' all that money
Down the laundry chute
It's a shame,shame,shame
Baby it's a cryin' shame
Well, sweet little Mary Anne
With her make-up all a mess,
Picks herself up off the floor
Coughs and straightens her dress
Sayin' please,please daddy, can I
Have just a little bit more
I said sorry baby, but im headin' out
Somehow this town don't feel like home anymore
It's a shame,shame,shame
Baby it's a cryin' shame
I've seen a lot of living my friend,
And this i will repeat
Just because you knock a man down
Don't mean you got him beat

Such the lazy Jackstraw always late for tea
Never bothers to ring lately
Says the silly sparrow a gossip in the grain
Have you heard the, oh you don't say
Someday, someday snow shall fill the trees
You best make warm eves
Callous is the old crow, he mock even the sun
Eyes as black as blood, bone crack in the craw
He'd say, he'd say always never mind
Always never mind
Truth be beggar that holds his tongue

War is not the answer
The answer is within you
War is not the answer
The answer is within you
Love
Love
Love
Love
War is not the answer
The answer is within you
Love
Love
Love

Oh mama don't walk away
I'm a goddam sore loser
I ain't too proud to say
that I'm still thinking 'bout you
And I'm so lonesome without you
And I can't get you out of my mind
Oh mama don't leave me alone
with my soul shut down so tight it's like a stone cold tomb
Ain't it clear when I'm near you
I'm just dying to hear you
Calling my name one more time
Oh so don't pay no mind
To my watering eyes
Must be something in the air
That I'm breathing
Yes'n try to ignore
All this blood on the floor
It's just this heart on my sleeve that's bleeding
Oh mama don't walk away
You leave me here bereaving from the words so hard and plain
Saying the love that we had
was just selfish and sad
To see you now with him
is just making me mad
Oh so kiss him again
just to prove to me that you can
an I will stand here
and burn in my skin
Yes I will stand here

My eyes have dried, my hands are tied
Nothing I can say
If you feel the need to go
I won't stand in your way
Sit and think
Drown in drink
Sing this sad, sad song
You can bring me flowers, baby
When I'm dead and gone
Fate has played his hand so cruel
There ain't nothing I can do
You say you lost your love for me
Me my love for you
Sit and cry
And say goodbye
And sing this sad, sad song
You can bring me flowers, baby
When I'm dead and gone
So when you're lying in his arms
Think of me and know
The choice you made it free and clear
It cost me a heavy toll
Sit and think
Drown in drink
And sing this sad, sad song
You can bring me flowers, baby

Three more days
Girl you know I will be coming home to ya darling
Three more days
Girl you know I will be coming home to ya darling

days
like this won't seem to break
clouds won't seem to shake
and all i am is lonely
everywhere i look is a mannequin
the plastic people closing in
i just want you to hold me
to hold me
i can get high, all by myself
i don't need you to bring me down
i can get high, all by myself
i don't need anybody now
lord, i can't seem to see
it's like there's just walls in front of me
and i'm not feeling anything
oh no, lord, i can't tell what's real anymore
someone unlock the door
cause i cannot just breathe in here
i can't breathe in here
cold, is pushing through my skin
and i can't sleep again
staring at the ceiling
I'm on sheets like broken glass
hours won't seem to pass
it's darkness that i'm so deep in
so deep in
I can get high, all by myself
I don't need you to bring me down
I can get high all by myself
I don't need anybody now
lord, i can't seem to see, it's like there's just walls in front of me
and i am not feeling anything
oh no, lord i can't tell what's real anymore
someone unlock the door
cause man i just cannot breathe in here
i can't breathe in here
but i can get high all by myself
i can get high all by myself
by myself
all by myself
all by myself
all by myself

All my heroes have gone to heaven
where all them saints wear flaming shoes
the junkies and the whores are behind them pearly doors
i guess i'm going to go to heaven too
now all my heroes have gone to heaven
where all them richeous joes take to shoveling coal
the killers and the cons
the pushers and the pawns
with halos, wings just hovering over paths of gold
so mama don't you cry
when i'm dead and gone
cause jesus loves his sinners
and heaven is a honky tonk
now all my heros have gone to heaven
the liars and the gamblers and the fools
the drunkards and the thieves
all wearing silk upon their sleeves
and every gal is like a silver pearl in bloom
so mama don't you cry
when i'm dead and gone
cause jesus loves his sinners
and heaven is a honky tonk
so mama don't you cry
when i'm dead and gone
cause jesus loves his sinners
and heaven is a honky tonk
and heaven is a honky tonk

Mama's in the kitchen
Papa's in the field
Murder in the henhouse
Mud flowing high upon the wheels
Rooster in the dooryard
Just-a leaning on the horn
Wind so sweetly drifting through the ripening corn
Amy?
Hey mama
Where you been
for so long?
Amy?
Hey mama
Where you been
for so long?
There's something outrageous
about that evening sky
It's just a saturday, just baby, the look in your eyes
I always knew that you were crazy
I always knew that you could be cruel
but you know i would do just about anything in this world for you
Amy?
Hey mama
Where you been
for so long?
Amy?
Hey mama
Where you been
for so long?
Well you always seemed to hit me
Like lightning from above
Guess I just wasn't ready for
such a heavy hand in love
you left me standing in the corner
my head so hanging down
punch drunk, busted up and reeling like a rodeo clown
Amy?
Hey mama
Where you been
for so long?
Amy?
Hey mama
Where you been
for so long?

In the cafe you were sitting all alone
seemed a shame that a woman such as you had not changed her name
and all the while my thoughts were painted plain upon my brow
Allie, you ought to be a married woman now
Allie you're the sweetest thing that i ever seen, its true
how my head starts a spinning when i look at you
my feet can't find the floor to stand up straight
they won't, not now
Allie, you ought to be a married woman now
Allie, you ought to be a married woman now
I would sing you songs of love beneath your windowpane
I would whisper poems in your palms in pouring rain
oh to kiss your neck, your hands your eyes, your mouth
Allie, you ought to be a married woman now
Allie, you ought to be a married woman now
All my life I've
been waiting for someone
waiting for someone
to find me
to remind me
In the cafe you were sitting all alone
seemed a shame that a woman such as you had not changed her name
and all the while my thoughts were painted plain upon my brow
Allie, you ought to be a married woman now
Allie, you ought to be a married woman now

(Instrumental)

Caroline,
In the mountains - sun sets up in ribbons high
I don't never wanna get old - never wanna die...
Been seein steady rain - bout to drive us all insane
Clearly lost a few head up in the pines
At night some of the boys get to talking up their girls
back home
I tell them none's as fine as mine
The old chaplain saying: 'come morning we'll break the
reins...
'We pushing hard now for the plains'
I close my eyes ... I can see you
I close my eyes ... I can feel you here
God Willin and the creek don't rise: I'll be home again
before this time next year, though I fear this fever it
won't break.

Baby,
It's Been A Long Day, Baby.
Things Ain't Going My Way
You Know I Need You Here
Here By My Side
All Of The Time
And Baby, The Way You Move Me It's Crazy.
It's Like, You See Right Through Me,
And You Make It Easier,
You Please Me And You Don't Even Have To Try.
Oh Because,
You Are The Best Thing
You Are The Best Thing
You Are The Best Thing
Ever Happened To Me
Baby,
We've Come A Long Way, Baby.
You Know, I Hope And I Pray That You Believe Me
When I Say This Love Will Never Fade Away
Oh Because
You Are The Best Thing
You Are The Best Thing
You Are The Best Thing
Ever Happened To Me
Now Both Of Us Have Known Love Before,
To Come On Up Promising, Like The Spring, Just Walk On Out The Door.
Our Hearts Are Kind And Are Hearts Are Strong.
Well, Let Me Tell You What Exactly Is On My Mind.
You Are The Best Thing
You Are The Best Thing
You Are The Best Thing
Ever Happened To Me
You Are The Best Thing
You Are The Best Thing
You Are The Best Thing
Ever Happened To Me
Yeah, Yeah
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah,

If I told you how I'm feeling
And how my heart was always reeling
Then maybe you could understand me a little better
If I was to write you a letter
And if I told you how I worry
Isn't how I always seem to hurry
And maybe you would understand me a little better

It's the widow now that owns that angry plow
The spartan mule and the crippled cow
The fallow field that will yield no more
As the fox lay sleeping beneath her kitchen floor
The stream can't contain such the withering rain
And from the pasture the fence it is leaning away
The clouds crack and growl like some great cat on the prowl
Crying out I am, I am over and over again
The days grow short as the nights grow long
The kettle sings its tortured songs
A many petaled kiss I place upon her brow
Oh my lady, lady I am loving you now
The winter birds have gone back again
Here the sprightly chickadee, gone now is the willow wren
In passing greet each other as if old, old friends
And to the voiceless trees it is their own they will lend
The days grow short as the nights grow long
The kettle sings its tortured songs
A many petaled kiss I place upon her brow
Oh my lady, lady I am loving you now
Though all these things will change the memories will remain
As green to gold and gold to brown
The leaves will fall to feed the ground
And in their falling make no sound
Oh my lady, lady, I am loving you now
I've gathered all my money, I'm going to town
To buy my lady a long and flowing gown
'Cause come tomorrow morning we're off to the county fair
I'll find a yellow flower and I will lace it in her hair
The days grow short as the nights grow long
The kettle sings its tortured songs
A many petaled kiss I place upon her brow
Oh my lady, lady I am loving you now

Trouble...
Trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble
Trouble been doggin' my soul since the day I was born
Worry...
Worry, worry, worry, worry
Worry just will not seem to leave my mind alone
We'll I've been...
saved by a woman
I've been...
saved by a woman
I've been...
saved by a woman
She won't let me go
She won't let me go now
She won't let me go
She won't let me go now
Trouble...
Oh, trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble
Feels like every time I get back on my feet
she come around and knock me down again
Worry...
Oh, worry, worry, worry, worry
Sometimes I swear it feels like this worry is my only friend
We'll I've been saved...
by a woman
I've been saved...
by a woman
I've been saved...
by a woman
She won't let me go
She won't let me go now
She won't let me go
She won't let me go now
Oh..., Ahhhh....
Ohhhh
She good to me now
She gave me love and affection
She good tell me now
She gave me love and affection
I Said I love her
Yes I love her
I said I love her
I said I love...
She good to me now
She's good to me

Can you see the young and pretty
Confident as cops
Blooming, laughing in the shops
Till the sun turns black
Can you see the old and lonely
Walking through the park
Pushing grocery carts
Till the sun turns black
Can you see the corporate man
He's winning on the telephone
His possessions are his throne
Till the sun turns black
Can you see him in his lounger
Watching TV in the dark
Waiting for a spark
Till the sun turns black
Oh oh oh oh oh
Who are we
Oh oh oh oh oh
Who are we
Who are we
Can you see the working classes
Trudging through their days
Time goes slowly when you're only waiting
Till the sun turns black
Can you see the wise man simply
Living, loving quietly
Every breath he takes eternity

i still can't feel the gin
though the air has grown thick
yes, and the room, it does spin
here she comes again
with her eyes like flames
yes, and her silk-like skin
she can't keep no rhythm
and i can't count no time
she's the best thing that i have seen
in this joint tonight
all i want to do
is, woman, just to dance with you
all i want to say
yes, is, "woman, could you walk my way?"
oh no, where will i go
tomorrow, tomorrow
tomorrow, i wake up alone
jukebox is jumping all over that country blues
she lets down her hair and slips off her shoes
maybe she's just a little too high, maybe she ain't got
that much to lose
you cannot deny that the way she moves
all i want to do
is, woman, just to dance with you
all i want to say
is, "woman, could you walk my way?"
oh no, where will i go
tomorrow, tomorrow
tomorrow, i wake up alone

I guess you don't need it
I guess you don't want me to repeat it
But everything I have to give I'll give to you
It's not like we planned it
You tried to stay, but you could not stand it
To see me shut down slow
as though it was an easy thing to do
Listen when
All of this around us'll fall over
I tell you what we're gonna do
You will shelter me my love
And I will shelter you
I will shelter you
I left you heartbroken, but not until those very words were spoken
Has anybody ever made such a fool out of you
It's hard to believe it
Even as my eyes do see it
The very things that make you live are killing you
Listen when all of this around us'll fall over
I tell you what we're gonna do
You will shelter me my love
I will shelter you
Listen when
All of this around us'll fall over
I tell you what we're gonna do
Hey you will shelter me my love
I will shelter you
If you shelter me too
I will shelter you

mama says that blue jeans
they ain't fit for a lady
mama says the bar room
that's no place for a child
annie takes to nine ball
like a dog takes to lazy
she'll drive the boys crazy
she'll draw a fine line
she's a roadhouse girl
that's all i'm a-saying
after all
there ain't no law
against you having a good time
a roadhouse girl
and i ain't complaining
she might be crass
hard to please
but she's a good friend of mine
she got soft emotion, but she don't let it show none
she sure as hell won't let you know, son
unless you take your time
i've seen the very best so far, she don't take no shine
to you at all
she'll just kick your ass at pinball and let you buy
the wine
she's a roadhouse girl
thats all i'm a-saying
after all
there ain't no law
against you having a good time
she's a roadhouse girl
and i ain't complaining
she might be crass
hard to please
but she's a good friend of mine
she's been thrown, one too many times
all the love that she has known
is the hardest kind
mama says that blue jeans
they ain't fit for a lady
mama says the bar room
that's no place for a child
annie takes to nine ball
like a dog takes to lazy
she'll drive the boys crazy
she'll draw a fine line
she's a roadhouse girl
thats all i'm a-saying
after all
there ain't no law
against you having a good time
roadhouse girl
and i ain't complaining
she might be crass
hard to please
but she's a good friend of mine
she might be crass
hard to please

I heard the word-it's goin all around town:
Looks like Your latest toy done put ya down
It won't be long fore you come crawlin on home
Like some ole dog wit ya tail on the ground
I listening to you beg and you plead -
Don't fill my heart wit no pity
What makes you think I'm going to take you back again?
I ain't your Repo Man - I ain't your Repo Man
Used to be just you and me -So young and in love like it was meant to be -
It didn't take long and I began to see that you got eyes for every man out on the street...
I listening to you beg and you plead -
Don't fill my heart wit no pity
What makes you think I'm 'bout to take you with me again?
I ain't your Repo Man - I ain't your Repo Man
I ain't your Repo Man - I ain't a Repo Man
It's like you think I got revolving doors on my house- Like you can just come and go as you please
I'm bout to do what your daddy shoulda done:
I'm gonna lay you right across my knees
Work like a devil every night and every day
Bustin my back just to make my pay
Now where is your woman? You ask while you work and you slave- (chuckles) As they say: While the cat's away...
I listening to you beggin and you plead -
Don't fill my heart wit no pity
What makes you think I'm 'gonna take you back here again?
I ain't no Repo Man - I ain't your Repo Man

Well we rode into town like a
couple of fools
One eye on the mescal, bent
low on my mule
I's just tryna find some place
where a man might get some
rest.
Wash the tears from my eyes
and the blood from my vest.
Chorus:
One lonesome saddle
One long and lonesome ride
One lonely cowboy
Pining a woman unkind
Walked into the saloon on my
feet that felt like lead
Cold steel hammer pounding
into the back of my head
I raise up my glass to the quick
and to the dead
Singin yeah ya heavy in the
bottle bed
Chorus:
One lonesome saddle
One lone and lonesome ride
One lonely cowboy
Pining a woman unkind
As the glass it left my lips I felt
her hand upon me
Her smile it was so warm, but
her eyes were so cold
She says to me now won't you
please walk beside me
I just shut my mouth and I did
as I was told
Chorus:
One lonesome saddle
One long and lonesome ride
One lonely cowboy
Pining a woman, a coldhearted
women

When I was a younger man lookin' for my pot of gold
Everywhere I turned the doors were closin'
It took every ounce of faith I had to keep on keepin'
And still I felt like I was only losin'
I refused then like I do now to let anybody tie me down
And I lost a few good friends along the way
I was raised up poor and I wanted more
And maybe I'm a little too proud
In lookin' back I see a kid who was just
Afraid, hungry and old before his time
Through the years I've known my share of broken hearted
fools
And those who couldn't choose a path worth taking
There's nothin' in the world so sad as talking to a man
Who never knew his life was his for making
Ain't it about time you realize? It's not worth keepin'
score
You win some, you lose some and you let it go
What's the use of stacking on every failure another
stone
Till you find you've spent your whole damn life
Building walls, lonely and old before your time
It took so long to see
That truth was all around me
Now the wren has gone to roost and the sky is turnin'
gold
And like the sky my soul is also turnin'
Turnin' from the past, at last and all I've left behind
Could it be that I am finally learnin'?
Learnin' I'm deserving of love and the peaceful heart
I won't tear myself apart no more for tryin'
I'm tired of lyin' to myself, tryin' to buy what can't
be bought
It's not livin' that you're doin' if it feels like dyin
Cryin, growin' old before your time

There's just somethin' about this hotel
Got me wishin' I was dead
Gotta get out of New York City, son
Somewhere I can clear my head
I was just kickin' along the sidewalk
No one looks you in the eye
No one asks you how you're doin'
Don't seem to care if you live or if you die
I just got to get me somewhere
Somewhere that I can feel free
Gotta get out of New York City, boy
New York City's killin' me
It was just outside of Nashville
I met the woman of my dreams
Sure would like to get to know her
Maybe find out what it means
I get so tired of all this concrete
I get so tired of all this noise
Gotta get back up in the country
Have a couple drinks with the good ol' boys
I just got to get me somewhere
Somewhere that I can feel free
Get me out of New York City, son
New York City's killin' me
I just got to get me somewhere
Somewhere that I can feel free
Get me out of New York City, son
New York City's killin' me
Gotta get out of New York City, son

Lejos and Mary
Lay dazed in Liula
Dreaming of tropical signs
As Lejos lay sleeping
She knelt over him weeping
Feeling the weight of his crimes
It seems he cut a man down in a Tennessee town
And he's just licking his wounds for a spell
But it won't take long for the boys to catch on
And soon he'll be running like hell
Run Lejos run
This ain't no time for that ball and chain
Run Lejos run
Climb on that pony and ride like you never done
Ride like you never done
Well their love it was long
It was gentle and strong
And for a while she forgot his sins
And she kissed him for love
She kissed him for luck
She kissed him one time for a kid
Well they came in without a warning in the hours before morning
They come-a blasting through the windows and walls
And when the smoke it did clear
somebody cried out he ain't here
Killed ourselves a woman that's all
Run Lejos run
This ain't no time for that ball and chain
Run Lejos run
Climb on that pony and ride like you never done

Well the truth it fell so heavy
Like a hammer through the room
That I could choose another over her
You always said I was an actor, baby
Guess in truth you thought me just amateur
That you never saw the signs
That you never lost your grip
Oh, come on now
That's such a childish claim
Now I wear the brand of traitor
Don't it seem a bit absurd
When it's clear I was so obviously framed
When it's clear I was so obviously framed
Now you act so surprised
To hear what you already know
And all you really had to do was ask
I'd have told you straight away
All those lies were truth
And all that was false was fact
Now you hold me close and hard
But I was like a statue at most
Refusing to acknowledge you'd been hurt
Now you're clawing at my throat
And you're crying all is lost
But your tears they felt so hot upon my shirt
But your tears they felt so hot upon my shirt
Well the truth it fell so heavy
Like a hammer through the room
That I could choose another over her
You always said I was an actor, baby
Guess in truth you thought me just amateur
Was it you who told me once
Now looking back it seems so real
That all our mistakes are merely grist for the mill
So why is it now after I had my fill
That you steal from me the sorrow that I've earned
Shall we call this a lesson learned?

Cocaine flame in my bloodstream
Sold my coat when I hit Spokane
Bought myself a hard pack of cigarettes in the early morning rain
Lately my hands they don't feel like mine
My eyes been stung with dust, I'm blind
Held you in my arms one time
Lost you just the same
Jolene
I ain't about to go straight
It's too late
I found myself face down in the ditch
Booze on my hair
Blood on my lips
A picture of you, holding a picture of me
in the pocket of my blue jeans
Still don't know what love means
Still don't know what love means
Jolene
Ah, La, La, La, La, La
Jolene
Been so long since I seen your face
or felt a part of this human race
I've been living out of this here suitcase for way too long
A man needs something he can hold onto
A nine pound hammer or a woman like you
Either one of them things will do
Jolene
I ain't about to go straight
It's too late
I found myself face down in the ditch
Booze in my hair
Blood on my lips
A picture of you, holding a picture of me
In the pocket of my blue jeans
Still don't know what love means
Still don't know what love means
Jolene
La, La, La, La, La, La, La
Jolene
La, La, La, La, La, La, La

People on the street now
Faces long and grim
Souls are feeling heavy
And faith is growing thin
Fears are getting stronger
You can Feel them on the rise
Hopelessness got some by the throat you can see it in their eyes
I said how come
How come
Everybody on a shoestring
Everybody in a hole
Everybody on an old jet plane
Crossing their fingers and toes
Government man spin his politics till he got you pinned
Everybody trying to reach out to each other
But they don't know where to begin
I said how come
I can't tell
the free world
from living hell
I said how come
How come
all I see
is a child of god
in misery
I said how come
The pistol now as profit
The bullet some kind of lord and king
But pain is the only promise that this so called savior is going to bring
Love can be a liar
And justice can be a thief
And freedom can be an empty cup from which everybody want to drink
I said how come
I can't tell
the free world
from living hell
I said how come
How come
all i see
is a child of god
in misery
I said how come
Its just man killing man
Killing man
Killing man
Killing man
Killing man
I don't understand
Its just man killing man
Killing man (repeat)
I don't understand it
I don't understand
I don't understand it
I don't understand

Papa's in the kitchen, mama's in the field
Murder in the hen house, mud flung high upon the wheels
Rooster in the dooryard just leaning on the horn
Wind so sweetly drifting through the ripening corn
Hey me, hey mama
Where you been for so long, for so long?
Hey me, hey mama
Where you been, where you been for so long?
There's something outrageous 'bout that evening sky
This side of dangerous that look in your eye
Always knew that you were crazy, always knew you could be cruel
Still I would do just about anything in the world for you
Hey me, hey mama
Where you been for so long, for so long?
Hey me, hey mama
Where you been, where you been for so long?
Left me standing in the corner with my head so hanging down
Punch drunk, busted up and reeling like a rodeo clown
Always seem to hit me like a lightning from above
Guess I just wasn't ready for such a heavy handed love
Hey me, hey mama
Where you been for so long, for so long?
Hey me, hey mama
Where you been, where you been for so long?
Hey me, hey mama
Where you been for so long, for so long?
Hey me, hey mama

I lost all of my vanity
when I peered into the pool
I lost all of my innocence
When I fell in love with you
I never knew a man fall so far until I landed here
Where all of my wounds turn into gold when I kissed your hair
Come to me Hannah
Hannah won't you to come on to me
I'll lay down this bottle of wine
If you'll just be kind to me
Ask her why she cries so loud
She Will not say a word
Eyes like ice and hands that shake
She takes what she deserves
To celebrate her emptiness
In a Cold and lonely room
Sweep the floor with your long flowered dress
If you cannot find a broom
Come to me Hannah
Hannah won't you come on to me
I'll lay down this bottle of wine
If you'll just be kind to me
She's got hair that flows right down
Right down to the backs of her knees
Her Papa he was a preaching man
And the lord is hard to please
So she comes down from the ozark hills to these very streets to roam
With a banjo and a bible and a fine tooth comb
Come to me Hannah
Hannah won't you come on to me
I'll lay down this bottle of wine if you just be kind to me
I'd walk one mile on this broken glass
to fall down at your feet
oh Hannah you're the queen of the street
I climb the tree withy my Hannahlee
My intentions they were pure
Oh the breeze did whip and I lost my grip
I tumbled towards the earth
Where You never would guess who it was that stood below
And his name I would never tell
But His eyes were clear
And His arms were strong
And caught me as I fell
Now come to me Hannah
Hannah won't you come on to me
I'll lay down this bottle of wine
If you'd just be kind to me
I'd walk one mile on broken glass
to fall down at your feet
Hannah you're the queen of the street

For a while I sat there staring at her photograph
For a while I cried and tried not to make a scene
There was a time when we were young
I used to make her laugh
But life is long, my love has gone away from me
Gone away from me
Gone away from me
Life is long, my love has gone away from me
Gone away from me
Gone away from me
Life is long, my love has gone away from me
Lately I can't seem to find myself no sleep at all
Lately I just lie awake and hear and dream
Of the time when she was mine
Felt like I had it all
But life is long, my love has gone away from me
Gone away from me
Gone away from me
Life is long, my love has gone away from me
Gone away from me
Gone away from me
Life is long, my love has gone away from me
Yesterday is gone
Yesterday is dead
Get it through your head and walk away
Yesterday is gone
Ain't no use hanging on to her memory
It only causes you pain
For a while I sat there staring at her photograph
For a while I cried and tried not to make a scene
There was a time when we were young
I used to make her laugh
But life is long, my love has gone away from me
Gone away from me
Gone away from me
Life is long, my love has gone away from me
Gone away from me
Gone away from me

Drivin on down into the alley
To see what the cat drug in
Larry faced down in the trash can
Jimmy got the ]shakes again
Jimmy what you doin with yourself man
Jimmy hows it hangin kid
Whats Larry doin in the trash can
Jimmy says he's looking for the lid
I got to get me a buzz
I got to get me a buzz of some kind
Just to lift these worried blues up off my worried mind
Skippin on down to see my Hannah
She got the red dress on
Do what you want with you kettle jar mama
Don't you blow the saxophone
Skippin on down to see my hannah
Give her there's a dollar bill
She said "give me four more
You can close that door
Do with me what you will"
I got to get me a buzz
I got to get me a buzz of some kind
Just to lift these worried blues up off my worried
[G]mind
Papa said son you take a nickel
Lay it down on the tracks
Papa said son you take a nickel
It'll be one-half a dollar when you get it back
Papa left Mama with nothing
Nothing but a kitchen sink
Ninety pound hoe
Feel like a dog
Whole lot of mouths to feed
I got to get me a buzz
I got to get me a buzz of some kind

Rollin' through these hills I've known I'd be comin'
Ain't a man alive that likes to be alone?
Been a while since I seen my lady smilin'
Have I been, have I been away so long?
I am tired
I am tired
Can I come home for the summer?
I could slow down for a little while
Get back to loving each other
Leave all those long and lonesome miles behind
Through the years I have learned
Some things worth the tellin'
And you'd be right in guessin'
That each and every lesson they were hard won
I am tired
I am tired
Can I come home for the summer?
I could slow down for a little while
Get back to loving each other
Leave all those long and lonesome miles behind
You'll follow her wherever she goes
You love her and you just wanted to know
That you'll follow her, you'll find a way

She lifts her skirt up to her knees
walks through the garden rows
with her bare feet laughing
I never learned to count my blessings
I choose instead to dwell
in my disasters
I walk on down the hill
through grass grown tall
and brown and still
it's hard somehow
to let go of my pain
On past the busted back
of that old and rusted Cadillac
that sinks into this field
collecting rain
Will I always feel this way
so empty
and estranged?
and of these cut throat busted sunsets
these cold and damp white mornings
I have grown weary
If through my cracked and dusty
dime store lips
I spoke these words out loud
would no one hear me?
Lay your blouse across the chair
let fall the flowers
from your hair
and kiss me
with that country mouth
so plain
outside the rain is tapping
on the leaves
to me it sounds like
they're applauding us
the quiet love
we've made
Will it always feel this way
so empty
so estranged?
well I looked my demons in the eyes
lay bare my chest
said do your best
to destroy me
I've been to hell and back
so many times
I must admit
you kinda bore me
there's a lot of things
that can kill a man
there's a lot of ways
to die
yes, and some already did
and walk beside me
there's a lot of things
I don't understand
so many people lie
it's the hurt I hide that fuels
the fire inside me
Will I always feel this way
so empty

I remember when
I remember, when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that face
Even your emotions had an echo
In so much space
And when you're out there
Without care
I was out of touch
It wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much
Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
Does that make me crazy
Probably
An I hope that you are having the time of your life
Oh but think twice
That's my only advice
Come on now
Who do you
Who do you think you are
Woah Woah
Bless your soul
Do you really think that you're in control
Well I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
Just like me, yeah
My heroes had the heart
To lose their lives out on a limb
An all I remember
Is thinking I wanna be like them
Ever since I was little it looked like fun
It was no coincidence that I've come
I can die when I'm done
Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably
A la la la la la la
a la la, a la la, a la la, a la la
yeah, yeah, yeah
wo-ah, woah, woah, woah, woah
lay lay lay lay

So your hometown's bringin' you down
Are you drownin' in the small talk and the chatter?
Are you gonna step into line like your daddy done?
Punchin' the time and climbing life's long ladder
You've been howlin' at the moon like a slack-jawed fool
And breaking every rule they can throw on
Well, one of these days is gonna be right soon
You'll find your legs and go and stay gone
Young man, full of big plans
And thinkin' about tomorrow
Young man, gonna make a stand
You beg, you steal, you borrow
You beg, you steal, you borrow
Pull all the friends that you knew in school
They used to be so cool, now they just bore you
Well look at 'em now, already pullin' the plow
So quick to take to grain like some old mule
Young man, full of big plans
And thinkin' about tomorrow
Young man, gonna make a stand
You beg, you steal, you borrow
You beg, you steal, you borrow
Dreamin' of the day you're gonna pack your bags
Put the miles away
Oh, just grab your girl and go where no one knows you
What will all the old folks say?
So the hometown's bringin' you down
Are you drownin' in the small talk and the chatter?
Are you gonna step into line like your daddy done?
Punchin' the time and climbing life's long ladder
Young man, full of big plans
And thinkin' about tomorrow
Young man, gonna make a stand
You beg, you steal, you borrow

Don't let your mind get weary
And confused your will be still, don't try
Don't let your heart get heavy
Child, inside you there's a strength that lies
Don't let your soul get lonely
Child, it's only time, it will go by
Don't look for love in faces, places
It's in you that's where you'll find kindness
Be here now, be here now
Be, be here now, be here now
Don't lose your faith in me
And I will try not to lose faith in you
Don't put your trust in walls
'Cause walls will only crush you when they fall
Be, be here now, be here now
