Well you flash your tongue like diamondsYou tied me to your wildcat schemesAnd you forced me into a power diveAnd left your mark on my jeansAnd I hear the word on your soldiersAnd I hear the word on jesus tooI heard the word on the countryBut I never heard the word on youYour love was like a machine gunI wore your bugle in my beltAnd I was your kid glove loverAll the cards were yoursYou always dealtAnd I stood before your soapboxNoiseless and shoelessPlaying my pantry boy’s gamesYou had your hands raised up to the skyShouting oh sunday deityOh big daddy longlegsCome down and bless your sister pleaseYou were shoutin’ orders about the constructionGoing on down the highwayYou were namin’ names, blamin’ blamesAnd you blamed meYou wore your heart like a challengeFar and apart for anyone who cameOpen and wide like the riverWith rocks on both sides to keep the water tameBut I heard the word on your high tidesAnd I felt the pain when I triedTo rip your flood gates wideAnd pull your body on over to my sideWhere we both could hideBut you heard about the freedom rideAnd you heard about the highway crewWho could cut the light a little bit faster than youSo you left me just your shoesAnd I hear the word on jesusAnd I hear the word on his marching troopAnd I hear the word on the countryBut I never heard the word on you
Sitting alone on my hotel
Looking in the mirror wondering, "well,
After all this time you never thought you'd still be out on the road?"
Like a gypsy I was born to roam
Like a wanderer with no fixed abode
I think about the friends I've left behind on the road
Well, the road's been rocky along the way
It's been a long, hard haul on the motorway
But if it gets too smooth it's time to call it a day
(On the road)
The bed and breakfasts and the greasy spoons
(The road)
The loser bars and the noisy rooms
(The road)
The casualties who did too many lines
(The road)
Wasted talent on women and wine
I think of all the friends I've left behind
Whenever it's time to get back out on the road
Started playing blues in a coffee bar
I took a trip down Charing Cross Road
With my imitation Gretsch guitar
And my head full of songs and my eyes full of stars
I saw a band called the Rolling Stones
I thought, "that's it, I'll get a band,
I'm leaving home, I'm out on the road."
The motorways all over this land
(The road)
Far away places like Wigan and Birmingham
(The road)
Didn't have no name, didn't have any fans
(The road)
Didn't have no money so we slept in the van
All those early gigs we ever played
Sometimes we were lucky if we even got paid
On the road
Pete played on the bass guitar
Liked to get around, mixing with all the stars
But Mrs. Avory's child was all fingers and thumbs
But solid as a rock, setting time on the drums
While Dave the Rave hit the rock 'n' roll riffs
Yours truly strummed away with a slightly limp wrist
On the road
Everyday is when I can't get used to it
Everyday is when I can't get away
Another day, another freeway to face
That's the road
Well, life is a road, it's a motorway
And the road gets rocky along the way
But if it gets too smooth it's time to call it a day
(On the road)
Jimi Hendrix, The Who, the Led Zeppelin and Free
They took the road so it's alright by me
Some are survivors, some are debris
If you play in a band that's the road that you take
Living in it, eating in it, sleeping in it
You wake up in the morning, what do you see?
The road
Life is a road, it's a motorway
Lost a lot of good friends along the way
All the families and homes that I've left behind
To the wives and the lovers and friends who had their time
I say, "you take your road and I'll take mine."
(You take your road and I'll take mine)
You take your road and I'll take mine
(You take your road and I'll take mine)
Life is a road, it's a motorway
And the road gets rocky along the way
But if it gets too smooth it's time to call it a day
(On the road)
Observed all the various phases from
Flower power, heavy metal and acid rock
And still all the critics keep saying
"Are they still around? When they gonna stop?"
It's just the dedicated followers of fashion who like putting down
All the well respected men who came dancing and are still on the road
Sometime I get suicidal
Now everyone is a rival
Different cars, different bars and hotels
Corporations, big business and egos
When it all gets too bad I think back
When we were all each other had
When we started out on the road
And there's gas in my tank and I've still got a way to go
Another hotel, it's time to check out soon
As I look around the room
I think of all the friends I've left behind
I was thuming through montgomery, had my guitar on my back when a stranger stopped beside me in a antique cadillac. Now he was dressed like 1950 half drunk and hollow eyed..he said its a long walk to nashville would u like to ride..i sat down in the front seat, he turned on the radio and them sad old songs coming out of them speakers were solid country gold..then i noticed the stranger was ghost when he asked me for a light and i knew there was something strange about this ride..
(Chorus)
He said rippler can you make folks cry when you play and sing. have u paid your dues, can you moan the blues, can you bend them guitar strings.. rippler can you make folks feel what you feel inside,cus if your big star bound let me worn you its a long hard ride.
then he cried just south of nashville and he turned that car around..he said this is where u get off boy cus im going back to alabam. when i stepped out of that cadillac i said mister many thanks. he said you dont have to call me mister mister the whole world calls me hank..
(Chorus)
He said rippler can you make folks cry when you play and sing. have u paid your dues, can you moan the blues, can you bend them guitar strings.. rippler can you make folks feel what you feel inside,cus if your big star bound let me worn you its a long hard ride. yea if your big star bound let me wourn its a long.... hard ride.
Say the word and you'll be free
Say the word and be like me
Say the word I'm thinking of
Have you heard the word is love?
It's so fine, It's sunshine
It's the word, love
In the beginning I misunderstood
But now I've got it, the word is good
Spread the word and you'll be free
Spread the word and be like be
Spread the work I'm thinking of
Have you heard the word is love?
It's so fine, It's sunshine
It's the word, love
Every where I go I hear it said
In the good and bad books that I have read
Give the word a chance to say
That the word is just the way
It's the word I'm thinking of
And the only word is love
It's so fine, It's sunshine
It's the word, love
Now that I know what I feel must be right
I'm here to show everybody the light

Say the word, love
I can still remember every song you played
Long ago when we were younger and we rocked the night away.
How could I see a future then, where you would not grow old?
Such fire in our belly, such a hunger in souls.
I guess I've grown to love you in those words so often tired
Seen that we were traveling under some old lucky sign
I know I didn't say it then and no one was to blame
But the road we shared together once will never be the same.
Hey all along the way
Won't be coming round again. Hey was a song I played. And on the wings of a song, I'll fly away.
I wondered in the wilderness for a while I was so lost.
To everything there is a season and every blessing has it's cost.
So I took what you left to me and put it to some use
When looking for an answer with those three chords and the truth.
I come down from the moutain I come walking in your shoes.
I was taken for a glambler when I had no more to loose
For he put me on that path and how could I refuse.
And I would spend my whole life out here working on the blues.
Hey... Ay Hey. Hey. Ay. Hey. Heeeeeeeeey.
So I carried on, you can't be haunted by the past.
People come people, go and nothing ever lasts.
But I still think about you wonder where you are.
Can you see me from some place up there among the stars?
But down here under heaven there never was a chart
To guide our way accross this crooked highway of the (part?)
And if it's only all about the journy in the end
On that road I'm glad I came to know my old friend.
Hey all along the way
You use my love
To quench your desire
You play with me
You're playing with fire
I give my heart to take you higher
This is my only one desire
We can't get along
You won't come home
Yesterday I found you in his arms
Seducing him with all your charms
You know you really hurt me so
I need you
And I won't let go
Can't get away, babe
Can't get along, mama
Can't get away, babe
Though you hurt me so
Ooh ooh, babe
You got me cryin' in my sleep
I close my eyes
It's you I see
You might be somewhere else, I know
My heart says not to let you go
Oh, babe
My hurt is strong deep in my soul
It hurts my head down to my toes
I won't let go
You make me wild
You need me girl
You know I'll die
Can't get away, babe
Can't let you go, mama
I can't get away, babe
Though you hurt me so
Can't get away, babe
Can't let you go, mama
Can't get away
Though you hurt me so
Oh no, no, no, no, no
Lord help us
You hurt me so
You leave me
How can you leave me here
No place to go
Lord help us
You hurt me so
You left me here
And I can't
I can't get away, babe
You made it hurt
So deep in my soul
Can't get away, babe
Can't get away, babe
Can't let you go, mama
Though you hurt me so
Can't get away, babe
Can't let you go, mama
Can't get away, babe
Though you hurt me so
Oh no, no, no, no, no
I wonder
I wonder why
You got me cryin' in my sleep, babe
You that I see
Yo once a pimp gets threats

I put the gun to ya, I let it sing you a song
I let it hum to ya, the other one sing along
Now it's a duet, and you wet, when you check out
the technique from the 2 tecs and I don't need two lips
To blow this like a trumpet you dumb shit
This is a un-usual musical I conductin
You lookin at the black Warren Buffett so all critics can duck sic
I don't care if you C. Delores Tuck-it
Or you Bill O'Reilly, you only rylin me up
For three years, they had me peein out of a cup
Now they bout to free me up, whatchu think I'm gon' be, what?
Rehabilitated, man I still feel hatred
I'm young black and rich so they wanna strip me naked, but
You never had me like Christina Aguiler-y
But catch me down the Westside, drivin like Halle Berry
Or the FDR, in the seat of my car
Screamin out the sunroof death to y'all
You can't kill me, I live forever through these bars
I put the wolves on ya, I put a price on your head
The whole hood'll want ya, you startin to look like bread
I send them boys at ya, I ain't talkin bout Feds
Nigga them body-snatchers, nigga you heard what I said
I make 'em wait for you 'til five in the mornin
Put your smarts on the side of your garment
Nigga stop fuckin with me
R. -- I. -- P.
That's right there nigga, nigga I'm wild
Nigga I keep trash bags with me
Never know when you gotta dump a nigga out
This sin-surr, this some sin-surr SHIT right hurr!
Grown man I put hands on you
I dig a hole in the desert, they build The Sands on you
Lay out blueprint plans on you
We Rat Pack niggaz, let Sam tap dance on you
Then, I Sinatra shot ya God damn you
... I put the boy in the box like David Blaine
Let the audience watch, it ain't a thang
Y'all wish I was frontin, I George Bush the button
Front of all you in your car lift up your hood nigga run it
Then lift up your whole hood like you got oil under it
Your boy got the goods y'all don't want nuttin of it
Like, castor oil, I Castor Troy you
Change your face or the bullets change all that for you
... y'all niggaz is targets
Y'all garages for bullets, please don't make me park it
in your upper level, valet a couple strays
from the 38 special, nigga, God bless you
Yeah I'm threatening ya, YEAH I'm threatening ya!
Who you thank you dealin with?
They call me Threats, nigga I been makin threats

Huh, ask about me, see if you ain't heard
When the gun is tucked, untucked, nigga you dies
like numchuks held by the Jet L-I
I'm the one, thus meanin no one must try
No two, no three, no four, know why?
Because one's four-five might blow yo' high
You ain't gotta go to church to get to know yo' God
It's a match made in heaven when I
'splay the 7
Put you on the nigga news, UPN at 11
Where you been, you ain't heard, got the word that I'm

Nigga I take a mop handle off nigga
If you'd like to get together
Then come right over to me
Ooh, We can do anything
That you like to do
If you'd like to give your love
Then please just feel free
Because I may be gone tomorrow
And not even know your name
Now please don't misunderstand my loneliness
Let's never ever talk of time
Cause friends may fade away
And our hopes will say goodnight
And our friendship would be lost
It would be such a waste of time
So let's just
Let's have a good thing girl
And let's not worry
Let's do everything we want
And let's not cry
When it's over
When I leave
Our thing won't die
If you really understand
Then come right over to me
We can play together for a while
And still be free
I solve math problems at my senior high
We got a hundred things we gotta read and write
There ain't no gangs like Grease and no cool cars
It's hard to be real wild, but we can teach you the art
It's in the Word
They think our Lord is just a ball and chain
Why don't they understand it's just their pride and shame
They live for science, only He is real
Just got to find right now the God that Jesus revealed
Jesus' the Word
Jesus' the Word, He's the Word, as you've heard
We've got proof, it's got Spirit
He is the life, He's the Way, He's the Logos
Now these things we base on experience
He came a-blessin' and He chose to stay
Condemned at Calvary, rose on that blessed third day
There is a choice that we can make if we're smart
We start believing now and He can redo our hearts
Receive the Word
Jesus' the Word, yes the Word, as you've heard
It's not rules, it's not teasing
Jesus the Christ is the face of the most high
Now this is the day to receive Him
They say it mocks evolution
That's just a subtle envious excuse
What are we doin' here?
We make confession and he shows us the way
No technicalities, no long-term debts to pay
There is a plan so we get saved from above
Let's start to read it now it's in Ephesians, you all
Faith is the Word
Faith is a word that's conferred undeserving
It's not you, it's not me then
Grace is divine, it's through faith, there's no boastin'
Now read in 2:8 in Ephesians
So search the Word, yes the Word, that you've heard
It's got truth, it's God's teaching
This is the time, it's the place, it's the moment
Now Jesus is waiting, receive Him
Jesus' the Word
Yes the Word (x 9)
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path
When I feel afraid
And think I've lost my way
Still, You're there right beside me
Nothing will I fear
As long as You are near
Please be near me to the end
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path
I will not forget
Your love for me and yet
My heart forever is wandering
Jesus by my guide
And hold me to Your side
And I will love You to the end
Nothing will I fear
As long as You are near
Please be near me to the end
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path
And a light unto my path
My Daddy was a charmer, boys, he had a lot of style
He was shining best at everything he did
They said that he could lighten up a room with just a smile
And I was proud as hell to be his kid
It seemed like just as we were growing close together he was gone
But it was long enough to show what I could be
And I sometimes feel his spirit fill my body like a song
And this is what my Daddy sings to me
Chorus:
If they deal you down and dirty in a way you don't deserve
You'll feel better if you take it like a man
If you let 'em drive you crazy, boy, they'll shut your business down
Shake it off and get your licks in when you can
'Cause the heart is all that matters in the end
They say every song is sweeter when you sing it from the heart
I won't knock it 'cause I tried it and it's true
I may never get to heaven, but I've seen a lot of stars
And I'm here to bring the same advice to you.
Chorus:
If they deal you down and dirty in a way you don't deserve
You'll feel better if you take it like a man
If you let 'em drive you crazy, boy, they'll shut your business down
Shake it off and get your licks in when you can
'Cause the heart is all that matters in the end
Yes, the heart is all that matters in the end
The heart is all that matters in the end
Yeaa...Yu know being from Virginia
(ha ha) I gotta go back to my roots
the whole Go-Go thang... DC what's up?
(ha ha) Virginia you already know how we about to do it
Let's go...Yessir
Been sitting here for an hour talking
But we ain't saying nothing
I ain't even tripping mama that's cool
No better way to waste time then to with you
Ain't that a trip 'cause usually I do my thing and I dip (oh)
But she got me wanna stick around for the second show
Have her do her thing on the stage for me once more
And in like....Oh
I can't wait for us to be alone (tell me)
So tell me, tell me what you say ma
You've been keeping it 100 up to this far
So what you wanna do
I'm tryna give it but I'm losing my cool (for you)
'cause shorty got me throwed
Thrown off, little mama, she got thrown (ayy)
Thrown off, little mama, she got thrown (ayy)
Now I can't say all the things I wanna say
(But your body is a problem for me)
And I put shame on a man that walked away
(But I'm glad he left you here for me yeah)
That's real 'cause usually I can't express how I feel
It's like I'm in my favorite scenes on a movie screen
Diamond studded Tee, Crown holding my Spike Lee's
and I'm like whoa...
Girl you got that knock, I hear it down the block
And if I get a chance, guaranteed I keep it hot
I gotta get you locked, so baby pick you feet up
Adjust my two seater, holla if you hear me now
Ooo...
Yessir...two up, two down
Holla at me...it's all about you
We're out..let's go
Chorus:
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path
When I feel afraid and think I've lost my way
Still You're there right beside me
And nothing will I fear as long as You are near
Please be near me 'til the end
Repeat Chorus
I will not forget Your love for me, and yet
My heart forever is wandering
Jesus be my Guide, and hold me to Your side
And I will love You 'til the end (oh my God)
Repeat Chorus
Nothing will I fear as long as You are near
Please be near me 'til the end
Repeat Chorus
And a light unto my path
And a light unto my path
Scriptural Reference:
You use the love to quench my desire.
You play with me, you play with fire,
I'd give my heart to take you higher.
This is my only one desire.
We can't get along.
And you won't come home.
There's a day I caught you in his arms, seducing him with all your charms.
You know you really hurt me so.
I need you and I won't let go.
Can't get away, babe.
Can't get along, mama.
Can't get away, babe.
Oh, you hurt me so.
Oh, babe, you got me crying in my sleep.
I close my eyes, it's you I see.
You're not with someone else, I know.
My heart says not to let you go.
Oh, babe, my heart is stronger than my soul.
You hurt my head down to me toes.
I won't let go; you make me wild.
You leave me, girl, you know I'll die.
Can't get away, babe
Can't you let you go, darlin'
I can't get away baby
Oh, you hurt me so.
Can't get away
Can't let you go
Can't get away baby
This garden universe vibrates complete.
Some we get a sound so sweet.
Vibrations reach on up to become light,
And then thru gamma, out of sight.
Between the eyes and ears there lay,
The sounds of colour and the light of a sigh.
And to hear the sun, what a thing to believe.
But it's all around if we could but perceive.
To know ultra-violet, infra-red and X-rays,
Beauty to find in so many ways.
Two notes of the chord, that's our fluoroscope.
But to reach the chord is our lifes hope.
And to name the chord is important to some.
There's a long white line stretching out on the road ahead
There ain't one magazine that I ain't read
Haven't seen you in weeks but I hear you on the radio
Singing soft and low
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on
Never seems to be time for me and you
That's a price you pay for the life you choose
Tonight's the loneliest night I've ever known
Just goes on and on
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on
It does my heart good to see you shine
So I'll just keep on counting these white lines
Haven't seen you in weeks but I hear you on the radio
Calling me back home
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
I just turn the radio on
We're so far apart
This old highway ain't home
When the heartache starts
Well I was thumbin' from Montgomery had my guitar on my back
When a stranger stopped beside me in an antique Cadillac
Now he was dressed like 1950, half drunk and hollow-eyed
Said, "It's a long walk to Nashville, would you like a ride, son?"
Well I sat down in the front seat and turned on the radio
And them sad old songs comin' out of them
Speakers was solid country gold
Then I noticed the stranger was
Ghost-white pale when he asked me for a light
And I knew there was something strange about this ride
He said, "Drifter can ya make folks cry when you play and sing?
Have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues?
Can you bend them, guitar strings?"
He said, "Boy can you make folks feel what you feel inside?
'Cause if you're big star bound let me warn ya, it's a long, hard ride"
Then he cried just south of Nashville and he turned that car around
He said, "This is where you get off boy I'm goin' back to Alabam"
As I stepped out of that Cadillac I said, "Mr., many thanks"
He said, "You don't have to call me Mr., Mr.
The whole world called me Hank
He said, "Drifter can ya make folks cry when you play and sing?
Have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues?
Can you bend them, guitar strings?"
He said, "Boy can you make folks feel what you feel inside?
'Cause if you're big star bound let me warn ya, it's a long, hard ride"
He said, "Drifter can ya make folks cry when you play and sing?
Have you paid your dues, can you moan the blues?
Can you bend them, guitar strings?"
He said, "Boy can you make folks feel what you feel inside?
'Cause if you're big star bound let me warn ya, it's a long, hard ride"
I was stumblin' my way through Montgomery,
had my guitar on my back,
when a stranger pulled up beside me in an antique Cadillac.
Well, he was dressed like 1950, half drunk and hallow eyed
he said, "Its a long walk to Nashville, would you like a ride, son?"
Well I climbed up in the front seat, and he turned on the radio
and them sad old songs comin' outta them speakers was solid country gold.
Then I noticed the stranger was ghost-white pale when he asked me for a light,
and I knew there was somethin' strange about this ride.
[CHORUS:]
He said, "Drifter, can you make folks cry when you play and sang?
Have you paid your dues? Can you put on the blues?
Can you bend them guitar strangs?"
He said, "Boy, can you make folks feel what you feel inside?
'cause if your big-star-bound let me warn you its a long hard ride."
Well, he cried just south of Nashville, and he turned that car around.
He said: [spoken] "This is where you get off, boy,
'cause I'm going back to Alabam'."
Well, I climbed out of that Cadillac and I said, "Mister, many thanks."
He said, "You don't have to call me 'mister', mister...
the whole world calls me Hank."
SLOW INTRO
A D A E
Where were you when the raid came? Where were you when the raid came?
A D A E D A
Out of the window or on the floor. Yeah, on the night of the raid
A D
I was just rolling up some real good black
A E
Knock on the door and the window cracked
A D
The DS just come to bust the fun
A E
Everybody scatter and run
I was jossing with the baby in the bathroom
Hanging out the party with the coke spoon
Somebody yelled hey my head's on fire
Just can't take it no higher
Hey, dealers from the north and dealers from the south
Joints in the noses and joints in the mouth
But the friction in the kitchen only wanted out
On the night of the raid
Somebody yelled help put that thing on me
That's one man I wouldn't want to be
If you said now I'm going to make it sing
On the night of the raid
Well the boys hit the wall like bowling balls
Questioned them all like they had no balls
Snow hit their noses like an avalanche
On the night on the raid
CHORUS (as Inro except..)
Where were you when the raid came?
Where were you when the raid came?
Out of the window or on the floor
A
Yeah, on the night of the raid
CHORUS REPEAT AND FADE
The way I feel is the way I am
I wish I'd walked before I started to run to you
Just to you
What kind of people do you think we are?
Another joker who's a rock and roll star for you
Just for you
The faithful image of another man
The endless ocean of emotion I swam for you
Yeah for you
The shot troopers laying down on the floor
I wish they'd put an end to my running war with you
Yeah with you
Are you metal, are you man?
You've changed in life since you began
Yeah began
Ladies digging gold from you
Will they still dig now you're through
Yeah you're through
You bought and sold me with your lying words
The voices in the deck that you never heard came through
Yeah came through
Your folly finally got to spend with a gun
A poisoned father who has poisoned his son, that's you
Yeah that's you
I beg you please don't let it get any worse
The anger I once had has turned to a curse on you
Yeah curse you
All of the promises that never came true
You're gonna get what is coming to you, that's true
Ah, that's true
Are you Satan, are you man?
You've changed in life since it began
It began
Vultures sucking gold from you
Will they still suck now you're through
(Cats, Rats)
The search is on, so you just better run
And find yourself another way
Probably dead, they don't feel a thing
To keep them living for another day
(Rats, Rat)
You are nonentity, you have no destiny
You are a victim of a thing unknown
A mantle picture of a stolen soul
A fornication of your golden throne
A smiling face, it means the world to me
So tired of sadness and of misery
My life it started some time ago
Where it will end, I don't know
I thought I was so good
I thought I was fine
I feel my world is out of time
But everything is gonna work out fine
If it don't I think I'll lose my mind
I know, I know, I know, yeah yeah I know
Listen to me while I sing this song
You might just think the words are wrong
Too many people advising me
But they don't know what my eyes see
But everything is gonna work out fine
Highways and dancehalls
A good song takes you far
You write about the moon
And you dream about the stars
Blues in old motel rooms
Girls in daddy's car
You sing about the nights
And you laugh about the scars
Coffee in the morning, cocaine afternoons
You talk about the weather
And you grin about the rooms
Phone calls long distance
To tell you how you've been
You forget about the losses, you exaggerate the wins
And when you stop to let 'em know
You've got it down
It's just another town along the road
The ladies come to see you
If your name still rings a bell
They give you damn near nothin'
And they'll say they knew you well
So you tell 'em you remember
But they know it's just a game
And along the way their faces
All begin to look the same
And when you stop to let 'em know
You got it down
It's just another town along the road
Well it isn't for the money
And it's only for a while
You stalk about the rooms
And you roll away the miles
Gamblers in the neon, clinging to guitars
You're right about the moon
But you're wrong about the stars
'Cause when you stop to let 'em know
You got it down
Climb aboard, we're sailing to this wonderland
Hurry now, take this ride while you can
Come and see inside
You'll be satisfied
[Chorus:]
This ride
On this ride
Be aware, there'll be some swells along the way
Nightly storms seperate the days of grey
Follow rolling tide
Join us on this ride
[Chorus x2]
On and on, then end is always out of reach
That's OK, no hurry to get on the beach
Come and see inside
You'll be satisfied
[Chorus x2]
I have wandered a million miles
Suffered, many times
Felt the weakness when I was strong
Held sweetness when it was wrong
I've touched high and low but wherever I go
The road, always returns to you
My love, it still belongs to you
Seen you crying tears of rain
I know, I caused you pain
Left you shattered on the ground
But what matters is here and now
'Cause all that I know is wherever I go
The road always returns to you
My love, it still belongs to you
All the bridges that I've build are unbroken
All the memories that live come with knowing
Every thing I've never done
Every thing I've ever done
The road always returns to you
And my love, it still belongs to you
Oh, the road always returns to you
Oh, my love, it still belongs all to you
It still belongs to you
Always returns to you
It still belongs to you
in the east
they can meditate
they can recreate the sound of OM
and bring us home
i think i'll go there someday
maybe for a holiday
maybe just light a candle
and take a seat for the ride
you don't need no money to fly
to truly fly away
you don't need no car to truly ride
to truly ride away
in the west
we think we're the best
we've shown the whole wide world
that money is all we care for now
someday the scientists will see
there's no such thing as gravity
they'll all just light a candle
take a seat for the ride
you don't need no money to fly
to truly fly away
you don't need no car to truly, truly ride
to truly ride away
as you ascend in silence
all doubt behind thee
you reach the summit my friend
and find your destiny
You say you want to seek the truth
But it's hard to find, no one to help you
Your friends don't have the time
So you ride around in your car
Switch on the radio, you want to relate to
Something you once read in a book
What kind of a way to try to take a look
Until I got hurt I was looking, I was on my way
Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling I painted my face gray
Until I got hurt, till got hurt, why didn't I, I didn't think of this
Until I got hurt, till I got hurt, baby, I didn't know' what love is
You say you want to learn to laugh
'Cause music makes you cry
But the tears you shed are only in your eye
So you turn to any phony mouth
With a tale to tell but he's just a hoaxer
Don't you know selling peace and religion
Between his jokes and his karma chewing gum
Until I got hurt, I was looking, I was the same as you
Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling I did not know what to do
Until I got hurt, till I got hurt, why didn't I, I didn't think of this
Until I got hurt, till I got hurt, baby, I didn't know what love is
Young son, don't let me down, young son
I'm trusting you to keep on, never turn away now
Hold on, never let go, now hold on
Turn your heart to the bright sun
Love will come your way
'Cause till you make that final show
You'll never know what love
You've been missing, missing
You say you want to seek the truth
But you work alone, no one to help you
And nobody to push you on
So you sit at home drinking your wine
Television on, you wait for a miracle
'Cause you say one day one will come along
But wishful thinking, boy any minute now you might be gone
I'd like to help you brother but that would be wrong
So until I got hurt, I was looking, I was on my way
Until I got hurt, until I got hurt, darling I didn't know which way
Until I got hurt, till I got hurt, why didn't I, I didn't think of this
Until I got hurt, till I got hurt, baby, I didn't know what love is, oh no
geall you people gather 'round
and get together
no more sitting on your booty

Overwhelming as they are
Breeding hope by counting stars
Merge the bitterness the pain
Which I'm sure
You can explain again
One gets hurt when she feels small
( And she's longing for some peace )
Beeing the center of it all
( Slow attack but fast release )
Hear the difference in vain
Out of tune but just not quite the same
Overwhelming as they are
( With their mistifying glow )
Breeding hope by counting stars
( As they hunger for the show )
Hear the difference in vain
Out of tune but just not quite the same
geall you people gather 'round

some people gotta learn the hardway
I guess I'm the kinda guy that has to find out for myself
I had to learn the hardway, father
I'm on my knees and I'm crying for help
now I've been high and I've been low
I've been some places that you will not go
I never thought there would come the day
when I wished I never would've lived this way
but I've been searching for a long time
I thought the devil was a friend of mine
I turned my back on everything that was true
and wasted years that belonged to you
some people gotta learn the hardway
I guess I'm the kinda guy that has to find out for myself
I had to learn the hardway, father
I'm on my knees and I'm crying for help
it took so long for me to see
that I'm a victim of nature and me
left to myself, I realize
I am the maker of my own demise
but you accept me every time and again
and never mention just how selfish I've been
why must it always take me so long to see
that I have fallen, but you will forgive me
some people gotta learn the hardway
I guess I'm the kinda guy that has to find out for myself
I had to learn the hardway, father
I'm on my knees and I'm crying for help
the warning signs are like flares in the night
still I proceed my greed is in spite
of the fire I know that's bound to burn
why is it that I always gotta learn the hardway
the hardway
I had to learn the hardway
the hardway
the hardway
You use the love to quench my desire.
You play with me, you play with fire,
I'd give my heart to take you higher.
This is my only one desire.
We can't get along.
And you won't come home.
There's a day I caught you in his arms, seducing him with all your charms.
You know you really hurt me so.
I need you and I won't let go.
Can't get away, babe.
Can't get along, mama.
Can't get away, babe.
Oh, you hurt me so.
Oh, babe, you got me crying in my sleep.
I close my eyes, it's you I see.
You're not with someone else, I know.
My heart says not to let you go.
Oh, babe, my heart is stronger than my soul.
You hurt my head down to me toes.
I won't let go; you make me wild.
You leave me, girl, you know I'll die.
Can't get away, babe
Can't you let you go, darlin'
I can't get away baby
Oh, you hurt me so.
Can't get away
Can't let you go
Can't get away baby
Oh, you hurt me so.

(whistle).......(whistle)......(whistle, whistle) ......... fade
Headlights, white lines, black tar rivers
Dragging me around this country as it whithers
The billboards, signposts, standing in the way
Tell of the state of the nations, that we find today
And we play and we play
To every day, every day
To every day
In the front rooms of old towns far from the city
With beat up guitars and hearts full of pity
The people gather round singing songs from everywhere
Torn from the nation, left without a care
CHORUS
And we'll rid the bloody world for a moment in a word
And we'll rid the bloody world cos
The words that you heard when you were young will always stay
The one's that always stay make the world go away
Warm night, clear sky, European town
Out side the bars singing their hearts out to a crowd
Open boots, violin, banjo and a voice
Exiled buskers, happy with their choice
CHORUS
You know all the cool places where all the punks hang out
All those same old places that I don't give a shit about
There's so many people just following a trend
No honesty or sincerity, it's the same old shit again
This is a warning. No, this is a threat
As long as we're alive then punk's not dead yet
Consider this a challenge, there's problems unresolved
Forget about your fashion show and start to get involved
Yeah we can make this happen, we're fighting for a cause
Without your approval, so fuck your damned applause
Yeah, we can make this real. Engage a solemn vow
So let's get off our asses and start right fucking nowââ¬Â¦
This is a warning. No, this is a threat
As long as we're alive then punk's not dead yet
Consider this a challenge, there's problems unresolved
Forget about your fashion show and start to get involved
So what about you are you gonna play the role?
Sit back and let someone else take control?
Can we burn our bridges? Can we start something new?
Exactly what is your independence worth to you?
The price of freedom is eternal vigilance
Complacency is cowardice, theres no room for obedience
Let anger be our fuel, our power from within
Hook: (x2)
The more I look around the more it hurts
My livelihook is poisoned my works
Fall on deaf ears a messenger bringer
With a foreign face and
Tongue and
Slightly
Twisted view of this time and space
Space cadet Ace
Reporting from base
The water hasn't a taste
The time and the place
The paper, the chase the race

Verse 1:
Manifestation, reva-lation-lution
Retro-bution solution
My people are poor community war
What's the rivalry for?
The poor can't afford
Self genocide
Help 'em aside
He's on your side of the fight
Yep, but unfortunatley
Unproportionately out of order
We have Kaos
Kaos to order they're closing the border
It's a flip of the quarter
For the players, existing in this game
I'm sensing a change
That all will come to pass
Then a movement of the mass
But who am I to tell on who will prevail
And who's fail and who in the hell
Are you going to tell?
You're new to the trail
Your doomed to sail
Away
Keep watching your backs
And cover your tracks
Get up on the facts and relax
And as the dust settles another one bites
He fights but he lost his life device
He's iced my advice
Don't play unless you plan to pay the price

The more I look around the more it hurts (x5)
I quiety go berserk when I work
Hoping to find that part of my mind
That's mostly confine and blind
Yes pure and refined
Untampered with time
Subliminal sublime
The criminal's crime
I reach and climb
I keep it refined I speak and I grind
Away
Keep watching your back and cover your tracks
get up on the facts and relax
And as the dust settles another one bites
He fights but he lost his life device
He's iced my advice
Don't play unless you plan to pay the price

We all hurt sometimes. Don't we?
We all get hurt sometimes. Don't we?
We all laugh sometimes. Don't we?
We often pass the time. Don't we?
We all get mad sometimes. Don't we?
We all can flash at times. Can't we?
Have some piece of mind?
Don't we need to seize the time? Don't we?
Life is FUCKED up
But it can be
Some people just lucked up
Because they can see
The shit is chaotic in disguise
Guns and narcotics for or demise
And don't forget the lies
They pump you with
I rise to the occasion without a scratch or abrasion
Just a hop, skip, and jump
Away from a rock hit and a drunk
No loitering here
Aye y'all can't hang out after dark here
Excuse me sir but you can't park here!
I mean tell your dogs that they can't bark here
I mean the world is moving baby
But you gotta just Hold on
But Sometimes you can't just hold on
You gotta just let it go
I've done every devotional
Been every place emotional
Trying to hear a new word from God
And I think it's very odd,
That while I attempt to help myself
My Bible sits upon my shelf
With every promise
I could ever need
Chorus:
And the Word was
And the Word is
And the Word will be
The old Word is the new Word is
The old Word is the new Word is...
People are getting fit for Truth
Like they're buying a new tailored suit
Does it fit across the shoulders
Does it fade when it gets older
We throw ideas that aren't in style
In the Salvation Army pile
And search for something more to meet our needs
Bridge:
I think it's time I rediscover
All the ground that I have covered, like
Seek Ye first what a verse
We are pressed but not crushed,
Perplexed but don't despair.
We are persecuted but not abandoned
We are no longer slaves
We are daughters and sons,
And when we are weak
We are very strong
And neither death nor life
Nor present nor future
Nor depth nor height
Can keep us from the love of Christ
And the Word I need
Is the Word that was
Who put on flesh to dwell with us.
Every day I get up from off the floor
I keep on coming back for more and more
So many times I get it in the face
I keep on running ' til my dying day
Rain on the roadway, thunder in the sky
The light of day disappears from sight
As the road opens up in front of my eyes
These wheels are burning up the miles
As the road opens up in front of my eyes
The only limitation is in my mind
I drive awake my eyes are on full beam
The wind is screaming into my slipstream
Something keeps pulling me back from sleep
Whatever it is I want to see
These wheels are burning up the road tonight
The fuel is pumping into my mind
As the road opens up in front of my eyes
These wheels are burning up the miles
As the road opens up in front of my eyes
The only limitation is in my mind
I'll be there when it all comes down
I'll be there
I'll be there when it all comes down
I'll be there
When it all comes downCome on, come on
As the road opens up in front of my eyes
These wheels are burning up the miles
As the road opens up in front of my eyes
The only limitation is in my mind
The Road
Fuel pumping gasoline in my mind
From the engine to my body
This wheels on fire
The Road
As the road opens up in front of my eyes
The only limitation is in my mind
The Road
I'm there to greet you when your life begins
You'll start your journey on your knees and hands
I offer many choices an' places you can go
'Cause you must choose 'cause I'm just the road
I'm paved with mem'ries, glory and regrets
I'm lined with broken dreams and cigarettes
You can take all you can hold but if you stumble b'neath your load
Don't blame me; I'm just the road
I'm a million miles before you, I'm a million miles behind
I'll take you straight and narrow, I'll ramble and I'll wind
So curse my broken brimstone or kiss my bricks of gold
I'm not the reason, I'm just the road
Road to riches, the path of righteousness
Through busy cities, or through a mountain mess
I'll take you through the high way or snake you through the low
But it's your call, I'm just the road
I'm a million miles before you, I'm a million miles behind
I'll take you straight and narrow, I'll ramble and I'll wind
So curse my broken brimstone or kiss my bricks of gold
I'm not the reason, I'm just the road
Instrumental interlude
Your last breath is not the death of me
I'll take you on to where your ticket reads
To that place where I hope shinin' angels greet your soul
If they don't, I'm just the road
'Cause I'm a million miles before you, I'm a million miles behind
I'll take you straight and narrow, I'll ramble and I'll wind
So curse my broken brimstone or kiss my bricks of gold
I'm not the reason, I'm just the road
I'm a million miles before you, I'm a million miles behind
I'll take you straight and narrow, I'll ramble and I'll wind
So curse my broken brimstone or kiss my bricks of gold
I'm not the reason, I'm just the road
So don't you thank me don't you blame me
When you're at that judgment throne
Oh the radio don't work at Hogwarts, no
Oh the radio don't work at Hogwarts, no
If you wanna hear the cool bands
You gotta go to the show
'Cause the radio don't work at Hogwarts, no
The rides are fast, the thrill is mean.
Your heart is pumping, you're sure to scream.
You'll always go, for another ride.
The second time, you'll be on the other side.
You hold on tight, you have no sight, not even a clue.
The carnie man has a plan, they know what to do.
Round and round and round and round and round you go.
Where you get off, only we'll know.
You find yourself in a cold room of glass.
Signs of counless children, reflections past.
Things you knew and loved are hard to see.
Your body's empty, your wills been taken by me.
Submerged - Tell ya what I'm gonna do.
Submerged - Someone's gonna make a slave out of you.
Submerged - Not really sure the price you'll bring.
Submerged - And you're not gonna say anything.
Submerged - Now for the shocking truth.
Submerged - Our conditioning it's "fool proof".
Submerged - Endless stock, supply and demand.
Submerged - How about another ride, the kiddies ride for free.
Another day, another town.
Gather round for the greatest show on earth.
That's it folks, there's for one and all.
And the kiddies ride for free.
They say 'Freak'
When you're singled out
The red
Well, it filters through
So lay down
The threat is real
When his sight
Goes red again
Seeing red again
Seeing red again
This change
He won't contain
Slip away
To clear your mind
When asked
What made it show
(What made it show)
The truth
He can't send to most
So lay down
The threat is real
When his sight
Goes red again
So lay down
The threat is real
When his sight
Goes red again
So lay down
The threat is real
When his sight
Goes red again
Seeing red again
Seeing red again
Seeing red again
Seeing red again
Seeing red again
Seeing red again
Seeing red again
Seeing red
They say 'Freak'
When you're singled out
The red
One says love is tragic, one says miracle
One becomes a skeptic, one is vulnerable
It?s sad to me how quickly we define
What?s wrong with yours is right with mine
You think that we could learn to let things slide, just let things slide
One side moving closer, one is more obscure
One side feeling open, one in overload
All the time it takes to build things up
And no time flat to de-construct
You think that we could learn to give it up, give it up
The thin ice that we tread, that?s dangerously set
The intentions go falling through
And you, I had you in my web
Now here I am instead, hanging by a thread
I?m caught up in a back and forth of balancing my fear
I?ll tell you though for all it?s worth I fell for you, my dear
It?s sad to me how quickly we define
What is wrong with yours is right with mine
You think that we could learn to let things slide, let things slide
The thin ice that we tread, that?s dangerously set
The intentions go falling through
And you, I had you in my web
Only shadows in their minds
remain of me
I am gone to them from now,
I'll always be
I re-wrote their memories,
extracted me
Now I exist only to me...
The dead can't speak anymore
their information is never stored
Now no one hates you like before
And I can't be anymore
case I am wired to the core
Now no one hates you like before
no more!
All those people I caused pain
don't know me now
But the anguish that I feel
still clings somehow
To free myself I freed them all
from me and what I was
Now I exist only to me...
Did you know that water's
not to blame if you drown?
Nor the planet when the plane
hits the ground.
No gun has ever killed a man
but another human can
Can't blame the stone for being cold
Our memories are born within
as we live our lives
shaped by who we were at the time,
until the day we die
Sometimes the need exists
to change what we recall
To hide from pain and
re-arrange the power of it all
Do you dream?
What if those dreams were real?
Would you scare from how
they made you feel?
Do you dream?
three tea in the garden
on a sunny summer day
with the blackbirds and robins
and the green green garter snake
we set out a table
with cups and petits fours
the sun shines and we're able
to have tea served out of doors
the afternoon is looking up...
three tea in the garden
on a sunny summer day
with the blackbirds and robins
and the green green garter snake
black cat on a red brick wall
the wind blows and flowers fall
the vines grow up into the trees
my two best friends in the world and me
the afternoon is looking up...
three tea in the garden
on a sunny summer day
with the blackbirds and robins
I'm off to a lucky start
and all these changes,
All I got and I know it's wrong,
Why can't I analyze this?
What does it mean to me?
I wanted everything i've grown upon
and I said what you did to me.
I never tried again,
So just give me so much I wanted,
Every day I get up from off the floor
I keep on coming back for more and more
So many times I get it in the face
I keep on running ' til my dying day
Rain on the roadway, thunder in the sky
The light of day disappears from sight
As the road opens up in front of my eyes
These wheels are burning up the miles
As the road opens up in front of my eyes
The only limitation is in my mind
I drive awake my eyes are on full beam
The wind is screaming into my slipstream
Something keeps pulling me back from sleep
Whatever it is I want to see
These wheels are burning up the road tonight
The fuel is pumping into my mind
As the road opens up in front of my eyes
These wheels are burning up the miles
As the road opens up in front of my eyes
The only limitation is in my mind
I'll be there when it all comes down
I'll be there
I'll be there when it all comes down
I'll be there
When it all comes down
Come on, come on
As the road opens up in front of my eyes
These wheels are burning up the miles
As the road opens up in front of my eyes
The only limitation is in my mind
The Road
Fuel pumping gasoline in my mind
From the engine to my body
This wheels on fire
The Road
As the road opens up in front of my eyes
The only limitation is in my mind
Four wheels, a guitar
A tank of gas an' some credit cards
Georgia on my mind
Four hundred miles to go
A good song on the radio
Makes the time go by
It doesn't matter where we go
There's something new to see
It's not the destination that holds
A thrill for me
Chorus:
It's the ride.........
It's the ride.........
It's the ride.........
Oh it's the ride
Two hearts in one bed
Three words that have never been said
We got lots of time
It's takes a lot of tears to find love
The kind of love you can be proud of
That suits me just fine
I don't care where we're goin'
And I don't care where we've been
It's not about who's right or wrong
Who loses or who wins
(Repeat Chorus)
It's not about who wins the race (Not who wins this race)
It's not about who makes the fastest time(Makes the fastest time)
This new stage of grace is just a state of mine
(Instrument Break)
It isn't all the money
All the fortune and the fame
It's not the perfect hant that makes a perfect game
(Repeat Chorus)
Oh it's the ride (Repeat 2x)
