Wildflower Thief
02:33
|
|||
You are stuck in the Garden State
And I can't tend to anything
I'm a wildflower thief until it starts to rain
In case of drought I think I'll go insane
You can call this house your home
And I got everywhere to go roam
I'm a wildflower thief until it starts to rain
In case of drought I think I'll go insane
I'm a wildflower thief until it starts to rain
In case of drought I think I'll go insane
I'm a wildflower thief until it starts to rain

I'ma go to the corner just to see if it's alive
I'ma go to the corner just to see if it's alive
I'ma go to the corner just to see if it's alive
I'mo dance, I'mo dance, I'mo dance, I'mo dance
If you get lonely
I'll come around
If I'm back in town
I'll come around
Things get tough
I'll talk you down
If I'm back in town
I'll come around
He don't turn your lights on
You better be alone
He don't knock your socks off
You better be alone
He don't blow your lights out
You better be alone
I'ma go to the corner just to see if it's alive
I'ma go to the corner just to see if it's alive
I'ma go to the corner just to see if it's alive
I'mo dance, I'mo dance, I'mo dance, I'mo dance
If you get lonely
I'll come around
If I'm back in town
I'll come around
Things get tough
I'll talk you down
If I'm back in town
I'll come around
I'ma go to the corner just to see if it's alive
I'ma go to the corner just to see if it's alive
I'ma go to the corner just to see if it's alive
I'mo dance, I'mo dance, I'mo dance, I'mo dance
He don't turn your lights on
You better be alone
He don't knock your socks off
You better be alone
He don't blow your lights out
You better be alone
I'ma go to the corner just to see if it's alive
I'ma go to the corner just to see if it's alive
I'ma go to the corner just to see if it's alive
I'mo dance, I'mo dance, I'mo dance, I'mo dance

Cloudy Day
03:53
|

Hey, how ya been?
Man we were just kids
Playing pretend
Thought that it might never end
Here I stand
With all the things I could have been
Playing pretend
Playing, playing, playing...
Came into my world
It's taken a while for you now
You are not to blame
For keeping it all to yourself
Like a cloudy day
You just won't rain
I wanna dwell in your memory
I betcha still smile when you think of me
Like a cloudy day that just won't rain
You just won't rain
In that life
There was no deadline
To our time
Playing, playing, playing...
You came into my world
It'll take you a while to get out
You are not to blame
For keeping it all to yourself
Like a cloudy day
You just won't rain
I wanna dwell in your memory
I betcha still smile when you think of me
Like a cloudy day that just won't rain
No matter how many times you wanted to be
I never thought you were no mystery
Like a cloudy day
That just won't rain
You just won't rain
You just won't rain

County Fair
04:18
|

Goin' down to the county fair
Even though I met you there
Doesn't mean I love you
Took a ride on the carousel
Got on the Gravitron
'Til I didn't feel well
I know it never made you sick
Lots of things never made you sick
Like riding in the back of the bus
Eating food that truckers bought
We were just sixteen, born in 1993
Fannie Mae cleaned out your dad's IRA
So you couldn't go to college
You just stuck around town
'Til one day you find yourself
It's good enough for now
Got a part time job at the flower shop
Trimming the trees and driving a truck
You work with a high school kid who sells you pot
la-da-di-da, la-da-di-da
Tears went down your face
When you threw your trophies away
Fannie Mae cleaned out your dad's IRA
Hooray!
Goin' down to the county fair
Even though I met you there
Doesn't mean I love you
I guess I never loved you
I guess I never loved you
I guess I never loved you

Louisiana Goodbye
03:16
|
|||
Well on the day that I left town
I took you to the lost and found
Your antique typewriter broke down
And left a tattoo of the sound
Chalk it up to luck
That as I come undone
You never made me run
I think you're gonna be my Louisiana Goodbye
I think you're gonna be my reason for a good time
I packed up the photos that you loved
You didn't even notice I was gone
There ain't nothing we can talk about
Without a heartache going down
Woah now, we're falling out
What's the speed of sound?
Oh honey, I can't hear you now
I think you're gonna be my Louisiana Goodbye
I think you're gonna be my reason for a good time
Woah now, we're falling out
What's the speed of sound?
Oh honey, I can't hear you now
I think you're gonna be my Louisiana Goodbye
I think you're gonna be my reason for a good time
Louisiana Goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

NYC Cowboy
05:21
|
|||
He called himself a New York City Cowboy
He happened to drive the midtown bus
Never felt the healing of the highway
Florida bound, our hero was
He didn't even care to call his mother
When he left his wife and kids behind
With $20 and a pack of soda
Southern shores were on his mind
Freeway, freeway, freeway
Holiday Inn
This bus only stops around the bend
Won't be long till your money runs out
And your wife comes to bail you out
Freeway, freeway, freeway
Holiday Inn
This bus only stops around the bend
On his way he met a hitching sailor
He did not know he wanted company
How could he know so far from home
The sailor man was on the lamb,
For cheating and robbery
Freeway, freeway, freeway
Ain't with me
Go on, get away I'm not your accessory
Won't be long till the man finds out
And all your luck's run out
It's a one way ticket to the penitentiary
Freeway, freeway, freeway ain't with me

Magdalene
04:21

Fall into the blue skies
Fall into the sea
Falling just to kill time
Falling into me
Sixth Avenue's the west side
It's chilly in the streets
I'm walking just to kill time
Walking into me
I'm broken down at first light
Broke down on my knees
Broken just to kill time
Broken out of me
The fireplace is empty
She sleeps on satin sheets
Running to the countdown
Of a little disbelief
Little Magdalene
Little Magdalene
Little Magdalene
Little Magdalene
Will I ever see you again? Again?
Oh, will I ever see you
See you again?
I wanna see you again
Will I ever see you
See you again, again?
Oh will I ever see you
See you again
Again, again

Take Highway 55 to Memphis
Go to a bar named Tripoli
Ask the bartender for Alice
Pickin' a guitar on her knee
Well I'm twelve long miles from Memphis
I can see the lights on Tripoli
So I called the bartender for Alice
Said she was waiting on me
Play Alice, play
Play your song for me
Play it soft and play it sweet
You already know what I wanna hear, Alice
You even know my favorite key
Alice was sitting in the front seat
When the flashing lights came from behind
So I pulled off the road, no cop in sight.
Just them goddamn martians on the Arkansas line!
Play Alice, play
Play your song for me
Play it soft and play it sweet
You already know what I wanna hear, Alice
You even know my favorite key
Alice and the wind
Are the two things in life
That I know to be free
Alice and the wind
They always seem to leave
Oh they're blowing like the breeze

Dearly Darlin'
04:13
|

Kiss me, miss me, dearly darlin'
I got nowhere to go
There are no wings beneath my feet
I left them out on loan
Take from me just what you need, and
Get on with the show
Well I've been to Paris
I've been to France
I've been all around the world
Thought I was livin'
And thought I was bein'
But those were just words
Now I'm talking
On my own record
I wonder what they'll say
All I know is
I'm not famous
Oh, but you'll be someday
So kiss me, miss me, dearly darlin'
I got nowhere to go
There are no wings beneath my feet
I left them out on loan
Take from me just what you need, and
Get on with the show
It won't be long
Till I find
You're doing fine on your own
If in the race
You fall behind
You can call me home
It won't be long
Till I find
You're doing fine on your own
If in the race
You fall behind
You can call me home
It won't be long
Till I find
You're doing fine on your own
If in the race
You fall behind
You can call me home
You can call me home
So kiss me, miss me, dearly darlin'
I've got nowhere to go
There are no wings beneath my feet
I left them out on loan
And if your ragtime fits the bill, well
Get on with the show
Get on with it, go

Satan & the Sailor
04:16
|
|||
Thought I lived a long life
Maybe even two
But the Devil he's a waiting
To come and get his due
Goodbye red sky
Hello blue
The sailor's fine, he's got his wine
There's nothing left to do
Take a wing and learn to fly
No one's ever gonna see you cry
Satan he's a friend of mine
It's not a deal it's just a compromise
It's a long damn road
But it's only lonely if you try
Thought I lived a long life
Maybe even two
But the Devil he's a waiting
To come and get his due
Goodbye red sky
Hello blue
The sailor's fine, he's got his wine
There's nothing left to do
Take an inch and get a mile
Here's a ditty if you need a smile
Take a sip right out the cup
Just before it goes out of style
It's a long damn road
But it's only lonely if you try
Thought I lived a long life
Maybe even two
But the Devil he's a waiting
To come and get his due
Goodbye red sky
Hello blue
The sailor's fine, he's got his wine
There's nothing we can do
It's a long damn road
But it's only lonely if you try
It's a long damn road
But it's only lonely if you try
It's a long damn road
But it's only lonely if you try

Rainbow

Got run out of Boston
Got run out of Baton Rouge
Everybody knows
You've got nothing to show
And nothing left to lose
Can't be bought or sold
I don't take the freeway anymore
Where's the pot of gold?
I don't see the rainbow anymore
If I ever fly to heaven
Then the Lord must be a fool
Everybody knows
That I skipped the toll
I'm just another ruse
Can't be bought or sold
I don't take the freeway anymore
Where's the pot of gold?
I don't see the rainbow anymore
I'm gonna wear white robe
Steal a halo from my lovers bed
I won't be denied
Look at me now, beyond the sky
Can't be bought or sold
I don't take the freeway anymore
Where's the pot of gold?
I don't see the rainbow anymore
Can't be bought or sold
Can't be bought or sold
Can't be bought or sold
I don't see the rainbow anymore
