Banyak sudah yang menegur
Nanti aku kan tersungkur
Dengan gaya ku menggoda
Setiap perempuan di mata
Tapi dunia cukup besar
Untuk simpan rahasia
Sudah terjerat baru terasa bagai.. Oh..
(Korus)
Oh buronan cinta
Tersepit di antara
Dua pacar berbeda
Pada waktu yang sama
Yang kiri belum tutur
Kanan juga begitu
Lebih baik ku lari
Cari pacar yang baru
Aduh.. aduh.. aku buronan cinta
Aduh.. aduh..
Puas si cari gadis sempurna
Tapi belum ku jumpa
Semua punya kekurangan
Jadi ku tambah pilihan
Bagaimana mereka tahu
Semua rahasiaku
Demi kebebasan biarlah bergelar.. oh..
(ulang korus)
Aduh.. aduh.. aku buronan cinta
Aduh.. aduh.. ku buronan cinta
Sampai kapan ku begini
Ku sendiri pun tak pasti
Mungkin ku begini sampai ke tua
Oh.. oh oh oh.. aaa.. aku..
(ulang korus)
Aduh.. aduh.. aku buronan cinta
Don’t listen to what people say about us,
They’re angry, they want to break us down,
They will never take you from me,
Our sacred days always bring you round
I’m not one who’s willing to give up, nor am I one willing to give in,
I am hung by a thread to you, and by one hanging to a dream,
You made me feel this way I never felt before,
You brightened my days, that’s why I’m back for more,
You know I am true, would I lie to you?
Put your trust in me cuz I love you.
It takes you to push a man to be free,
You’re all I need to know I’ll make it through,
I wish I could create a brand new legacy,
Where you and I, we live eternally,
I can’t run the charge on my own, wouldn’t pierce through these barriers of hate,
If you leave me here all alone, then you have sealed my fate,
You made me feel this way I never felt before,
You brightened my days, that’s why I’m back for more,
You know I am true, would I lie to you?
Put your trust in me cuz I…
You felt my heart beating, when you had a hold on me,
I swore to you and you swore to me,
I’ve felt your heart bleeding, when bound to push me,
It’s hurting you but it’s killing me,
You made me feel this way I never felt before,
You brightened my days, that’s why I’m back for more,
You know I am true, would I lie to you?
Put your trust in me cuz…
For one month, I will die for,
For one more, I will cry for,
For one last, I will lie for,
Why aren’t you here? What have I done?
Am I waiting while you are gone?
Answers don’t come as I’m thinking
I feel there’s something missing
Bereft of you, I am nothing
I’m craving for you, are you craving for me?
I’m craving for you, are you craving for me? For me?
I made mistakes, I’m so sorry
I tried to use them, but they used me
Our truth hides in a darker place,
All your sins, all my excess,
They won’t give in ‘til we confess
I’m craving for you, are you craving for me?
I’m craving for you, are you craving for me? For me?
For me, for me, for me, for me,
For me, for me, for me, for me,
I’m craving for you, are you craving for me?
I’m craving for you, are you craving for me?
Are you craving? Are you craving?
Are you craving? Are you craving?
Are you craving? Are you craving?
Hard work is killing me, I ain’t got no time for a family
I’m running under stress, on a road to madness,
Running destroys my health (what are you running after?)
Running destroys my wealth (what are you running after?)
Running destroys my life (so why are you running after it?)
I wake up at 7 in the morning, I go to bed at 1 am at night
Everyday is the same routine, every night is the same night
Running destroys my health (what are you running after?)
Running destroys my wealth (what are you running after?)
Running destroys my life (so why are you running after it?)
It’s not alright, it’s not alright,
It’s not alright, it’s not alright,
It’s not alright, it’s not alright,
Running destroys my health (what are you running after?)
Running destroys my wealth (what are you running after?)
I wish I was in bowling Green
Sittin' in a chair
With one arm around this old guitar
And the other 'round my dear, the other 'round my dear
Bowling Green, hey, good old bowling green
I've been all around this whole wide world
Been to Tennessee
But there's no other place that I would rather be
That's home sweet home to me
Bowling Green, hey, good old bowling green
If I had a dollar for every song I've sung
I could live in clover until my race was run
until my race was run, until my race was run
But I ain't got a dollar, I ain't got one thin dime
But I got a sweetie pie who loves me all the time
Who loves me all the time
Drivin' down the road again
Dust settled on my mind
Put 'er into overdrive
But I'm still keeping time
You know I'm headed
Headed down that yellow line
Stopped by a hiker thumb in the road
Got a good look but left
Cause you know what I was told
Gotta keep on walkin
Gotta find your own way through
You know what I did when that car broke down
Started walkin down to you
I'm walkin, walkin, walkin
Picked up my duffel bag
Put the cooler in the trunk
Pushed her off the side of the road
Threw the keys where she'd gone
Now I'm walkin'
Acres fill my souls with sand
You know what I did when I wore them out
Started walkin down to you
I'm walkin, walkin, walkin
Standin' under the heat struck light
Put a match to the wind
Follow the smoke to the south
I'm on the road again
To where the horizon
Where the horizon meets the road
You know what I did when that sun went down
Started walkin down to you
Verona left when she was only 16
She gave no reason but needing to fly
She joined up with a traveling band, and lady luck she
took her hand
Left all of her demons behind
She wove her unabashed story
All throughout the south
Verona she carried the truth of a child
She was a gypsy queen, her hair a raven sheen
She made love so strong and wild
Now they’re a bringing her home
Sweet Verona
Got her very own box in which to lay
Now they’re a bringing her home
From Louisiana
Hallelujah lord she’s home to stay
I kept the postcards that she sent me
She passed through our way only once more.
When Mama died she stood just outside the church,
But she was gone when I ran out the door.
Now they’re a bringin her home
Sweet Verona
Got her very own box in which to lay
Now they’re a bringing her home
From Louisiana
Hallelujah lord she’s home to stay
Don’t know how she died, they said they found her that
Covered in jewels that she bought at the pawn
They said her fire burned so bright, that it
It kept her alight, and it burned ‘till she was gone
Now they’re a bringin her home
Sweet Verona
Got her very own box in which to lay
Now they’re a bringing her home
From Louisiana
Where do you go when the light is low
When your ship is sinking
When the storm explodes
When your heart it lingers
On one sad kiss
When the sun is red
Through the mist
I've sailed with "The Anne"
for twenty years
from the blue of the Indies
to the waters of Whales
Now she is swolen
her sails are torn
the water is rising,
together we mourn
And the hounds of heaven rise
From their place by the fire
They’re chasing me down
But it ain’t my time
They’re chasing me down
But it ain’t my time
Strange how you see
Your life complete
In the few moments,
before you greet
The force that made the ribbon of sky
that holds us up,
in the darkest night
And the hounds of heaven rise
From their place by the fire
They’re chasing me down
But it ain’t my time
They’re chasing me down
But it ain’t my time
I am a seeker of fortune
I am an honest man
I’m tied to my morals
By a steady hand
I’ll bow my head
Into the sea
Let the waves
Wash over me
And the hounds of heaven rise
From their place by the fire
They’re chasing me down
But it ain’t my time
They’re chasing me down
Early in the morning
Before you leave
Just before dawn
Just after a dream
Our eyes barely open
Legs tangled in sheets
I’ve never felt love so tenderly
We lay like lovers
Lay like stones
Lay in the darkness and let the time pass
Like a stream
Till it turns us back to bone
Your heart it is beating
a rhythm so slow
I'd stay here forever
if you didn't go
Let you rock me to sleep
on your chest where I lay
Let the light of the morning
come in through the shades
We lay like lovers
Lay like stones
Lay in the darkness and let the time pass
Like a stream
Till it turns us back to bone
As we lie between
asleep and awake
I'll wait 'till the moment
when the dream has to break.
I'll love you the same as when the sun dies
but the truest moment
is when she does rise!
We lay like lovers
Lay like stones
Lay in the darkness and let the time pass
Like a stream
She was a lover, a daughter
she is loved, she is alone, loved but alone
her restless blood, and angsty bones
growing weary with the time, weary all the time
Maybeline, Maybeline
All the loving years now you're left behind.
Maybeline, Maybeline
What will become of you, what will become of you?
Just yesterday, young and bright
laboring each day and night
laboured day and night
He left alone, she never tried
to mend the years they left behind
turned the dark to light
Maybeline, Maybeline
All the loving years now you're left behind.
Maybeline, Maybeline
What will become of you, what will become of you?
She never took another man
Wore no ring upon her hand, no ring upon her hand
Oh Maybeline, she gave her life
to teach her children as they grew
Raise them strong and true
Maybeline
Where are your Sons and Daughters?
They are grown, they are gone
they are grown and gone
Now she's another hand-me-down
left alone in Fredricks town
waiting she is bound
Maybeline, Maybeline
All the loving years now you're left behind.
Maybeline, Maybeline
Empire sits on the edge of a hill
Born out of a gypsum mine
Held at once 300 souls
And none of them were mine
Now they’re just ghosts in the streets
Wandering a land that sleeps
Once it was a lively place
Now just tumbleweeds
The houses they are silent
Quiet as thieves
Now they’re just ghosts in the streets
Wandering a land that sleeps
The miners callused hands
The women who planted seed on the land
Empire met its end
Once you’re gone you can’t go back
the locks they have all froze
The lid upon the coffin
Now it has been closed
Now they’re just ghosts in the streets
Wandering a land that sleeps
The men who built the Empire
Up from the ground
missed the cracks in the foundation
One blow and it all falls down
The miners callused hands
The women who planted seed on the land
Why must you wait?
Why must you wait?
Why must you wait for the sky to fall?
Your brittle fingers, your eyes I recall
your shy heart and your stone walls,
why must I wait when you have not called?
You've never been kissed,
never been kissed
never been kissed by the paper prince
you light your fires of words on pyres
you'll never be what your mind desires
you only imagine what it is that you have missed
And its gone long gone
in the fearless hum,
of a lonely song
I am a child,
I am a child
I am a child of waiting
the tears will fall upon my strings,
I'll bow my head and my voice will sing
I never knew how tightly I could cling
we never can change
never can change
never can change or wash the stains
but who am I to hold the reigns?
The stead I ride she has no name
And its gone long gone
in the fearless hum
of a lonely song
No one will know
no one will know
no one will know how the end of it goes
the story that has already been told
our eyes were closed through the rhythm and prose
we will wake as the last line closes
And its gone long gone
in the fearless hum
Touch me with your fingers
Touch me with your toes
Make love with the window open
So everybody knows
That we're finding a new pastime
Without any of our clothes
I'm drinking in your skin dear
Like nobody else knows
Chorus Ooo's
Come back to bed dear
I want you the most
Of any of my vices
You exorcise my ghosts
I let go of my body
I let go of my soul
I'm nothing in your arms dear
That's what I love the most
Chorus Ooo's
Touch me with your fingers
Touch me with your toes
Make love with the window open
So everybody knows
That we're finding a new pastime
That can't be put to prose
I'm nothing in your arms dear
Stranger you call in early day
You came as I rose from bed
Sit a while I'll let you stay
The cold outside is bitter
Though you can't tell now
My hair used to be
Yellow like the stalks of hay in our field
My palms rough from years sowing seed
My skin was browned by the sun
I wish I had something for you to eat
The cow is long gone
The eggs they have froze
I wish I had something for you to eat
Stay for a while with me
Mini fiddle
We built this house with wood from our land
We had enough for an acre and ten
Each joint and beam cut by hand
They've kept me from the cold
My husband and I grew weary and old
No children nearby to keep us in care
I woke up one morning
And he had grown cold
Now I wait to be with him
And I wish I had whiskey for you to drink
I drank the last drop the night before
I wish I had whiskey for you to drink
Stay for a while with me
Fiddle
Now life has not done me too good or too wrong
I haven't had much of what you could buy
What I had, a price you couldn't put on
I lived and I loved and paid not a dime
So I'll sift out my stories and look at the sky
My feet on the floorboards cut long ago
As the flicker of candle sputters to die
Word came from up the road
Polk County was full of gold
The air is sweet, the river low
They say the livin's is fine
There a man can wave his hand
An ounce of gold on the pan
Pack the wagon and the bride
Start a better life
Look down the river
The water swirling
Isn't that a lonesome sigh?
Look up the Train tracks
No freight a'comin
You know you'll wait your whole life
Tied to a ball and chain
A golden lock, a golden chain
The fever hits you all the time
Rusts you like moonshine
Green River took many lives
Not just the ones who drowned and dies
The families it starved thin
I built this heart, like an aged pine
I built this heart, like a wild mountain cave
I built this heart, tangled up in tall vines
I built this heart, like the summer rain
I saw the light, burnt a hole through the darkness
I followed you home, but kept hold of my pain,
'cause I left before and that loss still haunts us,
but now I've come back to wash out the stains.
I built this heart, like an aged pine
I built this heart, like a wild mountain cave
I built this heart, tangled up in tall vines
I built this heart, like the summer rain
Why does the clock dictate what is time?
The beat of our hearts, the reason and rhyme,
'cause we know the rhythm, but we push it away,
we think tomorrow, but its only today.
I built this heart, like an aged pine
I built this heart, like a wild mountain cave
I built this heart, tangled up in tall vines
I built this heart, like the summer rain
If that day shall rise, if fate takes you away,
I'll remember the song, I'll remember the pain
'cause I've stepped to the corner to see where we've been
if this crumbles my heart I'll build it back again.
I built this heart, like an aged pine
I built this heart, like a wild mountain cave
I built this heart, tangled up in tall vines
Bending over, pickin' stones
They grow with every fallow
If I had the time I'd rest my bones
In the water.
And I've laid many a tear on this land
And I've buried them with my children.
So when I die won't you lay me in the clay,
right here, where I can hold them
If you come by the day, If you come by the night,
You'll see I'm not ready to give up this fight
If you come by my door, you'll find it open
And my blessed hands will be unbroken.
I've seen many seasons pass in this valley
Rollin like the thunder
And of all the tools I've ever know
These hands hold my spirit and wonder
They're callused and stained and they show the time
Not the future but the past
On them I see the fight that remains
And I'm ready for the test.
If you come by the day, If you come by the night,
You'll see I'm not ready to give up this fight.
If you come by my door, you'll find it open
Turtle dove you wake me with a melancholy cry
as the sun streaks the sky and the dawn defeats the night
do you try to wake me from my sleep
to open the windows and hear you weep?
Do you sit there, watching, as I lay my head to rest?
at night when my sadness tries to confess
is it hung above me as I dream?
oh turtle dove, I am not what I seem
ooooo
oh turtle dove, I am not what I seem
Why don't you preen your feathers and fly into the light?
Oh, I would fall like Icharus, despairing of my plight
The soles of my feet are heavy on the ground
But when I close my eyes I am heaven bound
oooooo
when I close my eyes I am heaven bound
Turtle dove, tell me, what more do you see?
Is anyone else at all like me?
Do others fail do they fall, do they fly
To find fields of plenty, And peace of mind
ooooooo
The sun sets at quarter ‘till 4
The snow is a piling at my door
Snowed in but I don’t seem mind
What I needed was a little bit of time
To put the letters that you wrote me in the fire
Oh and they ain’t comin back
Where did you go my Jaime dear
Sittin by the window with a single tear
Swamps on fire and the leather leaf
Burnin like the letters that you send to me
Where did you go my darling may
You set like the sin on a winters day
Cold front frost on the window pane
Bottle of whiskey and a pile of shame
If I had a space for my gloom
There wouldn’t be big enough a room
All that snow is waging a war
And all I expected was a little more
Effort from you, but I got shown the door
Oh and I ain’t comin back
Where did you go my Jaime dear
Sittin by the window with a single tear
Swamps on fire and the leather leaf
Burnin like the letters that you send to me
Where did you go my darling may
You set like the sun on a winters day
Cold front frost on the window pane
Bottle of whiskey and a pile of shame
By the time that spring rolls around
My heart will have melted off the ground
I’ll throw out the ashes from the stove
Try to mend heartache that you wove
Keep my feet moving on the road
Oh and I ain’t comin back
Where did you go my Jaime dear
I’m sittin by the window with a single tear
Swamps on fire and the leather leaf
Burnin like the letters that you send to me
Where did you go my darling may
You set like the sin on a winters day
Cold front frost on the window pane
The shackles I wear not made from a chain
They make but a whisper in the dead of night
Without a sound I find myself bound
To wander the place where I was alive
And you, my friend, have come on an errand
I know that you have a story like I did
But no one can know, if you don't show
The pain in your heart and the cry at your lips
I'm not from this place, I traveled from far
I came here after they ended the war
Tried to forget but when I closed my eyes
I saw blood on my hands and a gun on the floor
So it was here I put a knife to my breast
And here I will remain evermore
But you can go on, fix what is wrong
If you keep from the demons who knock at your door
Wont you come back and see me again?
Won't you come back someday?
I've tried, and I've tried to make my way from here
But I'm stuck at heaven's gate
Stuck at Heaven's gate
I know that you are not meant for my fate
You haven't a heart that is made of stone
You're warm and free, listen to me
I am a specter, and you are my son
Wont you come back and see me again?
Won't you come back someday?
I've tried, and I've tried to make my way from here
This world oft can be a down and lonesome place to be
I hear the knock at my door and I know that you’ve come
to me
Hang up your coat up on a peg in the wall
Set up your feet and stay for a while
The lines on your face tell me something’s troubling
Has the day and its weight made you feel old again?
light up a pile of kindling
watch the flames a flickering
Remember the years when we were young and free?
Now we’ve swayed and we’ve bent like a pair of poplar
trees
Look at the pictures up on the wall
Pieces of a time when we stood tall
These are the days when I see my reckoning
The years fly past and I don’t know what the end will
bring
sit with me now by the fireside
sing me a song I'll sing you mine
The night draws close
the fire dies stedily
the room is warm
your eyes grow heavy
nevermind the clock on the mantle high
I'll make up the bed you can stay for the night
Nevermind the clock on the mantle high
Light's low, as the fire dies
My hand upon a pistol
Rests lonely at my side
I'm lost now, my husband out the door
He took the children with him, he can't take it anymore
Said he'd come home
Come back again, if I let the liquor go
But I can't let go my sin
I went to the bottle
And I drank that bottle dry
And I covered up my anger I've frozen up inside
And I opened up that door
And the devil came inside
Lit the fuze, to which my mind is tied
Oh God, I can't feel it anymore
My hand is all a trembling on my stillhouse door
As I walk into her sweet air
Where my heart should be a beating, I can only feel a
tear
And I pray to my god above,
that I'd burn her down to get back the one I love
I went to the bottle
And I drank that bottle dry
And I covered up my anger I've frozen up inside
And I opened up that door
And the devil came inside
Lit the fuze, to which my mind is tied
It's dark now, I'm on my knees
I pray to my god, give me the strength I need
I've got to light that match, and burn her down
I've got too much to live for, before they put me in
the ground
I'll go back to my children's arms
And watch the ashes rise and go up and meet the stars
I'll go from the bottle
And I'll leave that bottle dry
And I'll open up my anger I've frozen up inside
And I'll open up that door
But the devil won't oblige
There is a tree
Flowers in spring
White cherry buds
22 rings
I helped her grow
But have never seen
Carolina winter, or Aberdeen.
From the Mississippi floodgates
My body churned
Up the river delta
My mother yearned
To taste the sweetness of her pain
Falling down
In Carolina rain
And if I stay, I’ll stay today
My body will follow in her wake
If I’m to go, I’ll go away
To Aberdeen, and there I’ll wait
She stayed by the sea
Hardened town
Smell of fish
Watered down
Taste of liquor
On her mouth
And her heart it wandered
Down to the south
And if I stay, I’ll stay today
My body will follow in her wake
If I’m to go, I’ll go away
To Aberdeen, and there I’ll wait
Her body is now
Hard from the years
She’s still as strong
Still as fierce
I’ve taken all she had to give
And given back the will to live
And if I stay, I’ll stay today
My body will follow in her wake
If I’m to go, I’ll go away
