Lyrics:

Don’t harass me if I’m here on time Another day on the assembly line Makin’ pennies while you’re makin’ dimes Lord I pray for something new Work is steady but the shifts are long Leave at dusk, comin’ in at dawn At least they let me turn the radio on Can you play me somethin’ good? I’m tired of second best Good God I need some rest Gonna work myself to death this life My body’s killin’ me Good Good I need some sleep Gonna work just like a dog all night But all I want for you is a better life Play my music for a buck on the side Makin’ nothin’ but you know that I tried Go to sleep eatin’ nothin’ but pride Lord I pray for somethin’ new

Lyrics:

You put the flowers in your hair and you just stared at the door Who’s gonna pick you up? I wonder if I've seen him before I ain’t saying he’s a nice guy I ain’t saying that’s he’s right for you I ain’t saying he’s a good guy But what can I do? Out on the jungle gym my thoughts would swim to you in the stream When I look at myself I can't help seeing you within me I ain’t saying I’m a nice guy I ain’t saying that I’m right for you I ain’t saying I’m a good guy But what can I do? You put the flowers in your hair and you just stared at the door Who’s gonna pick you up? I wonder if I've seen him before I ain’t saying it’s a nice time I ain’t saying that it’s right for you I ain’t saying there’s a fine line but what can I do?

Lyrics:

I was tired of being busted with my back against the wall The ends weren't meeting up the way they should Living hand to mouth, you know it ain't no life at all I had to change the station if I could So I may have placed a call to a certain someone that I know I may have pulled a job for his old man I may have been behind a shady business deal or two But I don't expect that you would understand I don't need to be forgiven I don't need to be justified When I meet my creator I'm gonna look him in the eyes And say, heaven knows I tried So the jobs kept stacking up, man the years kept rolling by You know there ain't no arguing with time It wasn't always honest and it wasn't always right But I did what I had to to survive So I made a little money and an enemy or two Along the way I lost a couple friends Burned a lot of bridges doing what I had to do It'll all come back to haunt me in the end I don't need to be forgiven I don't need to be justified When I meet my creator I'm gonna look him in the eyes And say, heaven knows I tried No one knows the wicked things I've seen through all my days People make their judgements and they turn the other way They can go to hell anyway I've been trying hard to walk the straight and narrow for a while The devil seems to follow me around Everywhere I go, you know I walk a lonely mile And I cast a lonely shadow on the ground I don't need to be forgiven I don't need to be justified When I meet my creator I'm gonna look him in the eyes And say, heaven knows I tried

Lyrics:

Your not the type of girl to take your time Or the type to give a prolonged goodbye To caught up in yourself there's no room to unwind Your the one to just take it as it goes So laid back but everybody knows Everything that you do is so grandiose It's not my problem Your too grandiose to solve them So go play your game with somebody else Your not the type of girl to put away the cash You just flaunt it but girl it's so sad Looking back are you glad with the life that you've had Your the one to just take it as it goes So laid back but everybody knows Everything that you do is so grandiose It's not my problem Your too grandiose to solve them Go play your game with somebody else No it's not my problem You put yourself here at the bottom And now you don't have anyone else It's not my problem Your too grandiose to solve them Go play your game with somebody else No it's not my problem You put yourself here at the bottom And now you don't have anyone else

Lyrics:

So I lay As a snake By a city street And I wait For the sun To heat the concrete Seven days That was all That you gave me But back at my place I could’ve sworn That we were the same thing Was your river Too shallow for my boat to cross? Is all hope lost? Well I hope not Separate your feelings Forget about love I was ready and willing To go beyond and above While it rains Music plays In your bedroom Other men Flood your past Like a monsoon On a thought Or a dream That’s what I think And I would call But I know You’d say the same thing

Lyrics:

We belong to a legacy From the past like a memory I remember when you said to me We walk around in the dark We keep searching for the melody Something found in the reverie We hear the sound, feel the energy We break our own restless hearts We're not getting any younger We'll never let them pull us under We're not ready to surrender We can render our own American history We carry on through the ebb and flow People come, man, and people go We sing about them on the radio We walk around in the dark Keep searching everywhere we go We fill it up until it overflows Then we put the record on the stereo We break our own restless hearts We're not getting any younger We'll never let them pull us under We're not ready to surrender We can render our own American history And we lean on each other sometimes When it all gets to heavy to harmonize Yeah we stand together under the streetlight And wait for the morning light to come We're not getting any younger We'll never let them pull us under We're not ready to surrender We can render our own American history We break our own restless hearts

Lyrics:

These abandoned buildings, they don't make a sound They just cast their shadows all across this town Their drawn-out faces, man they're dragging me down These broken windows, they've seen too much They know all the secrets, they just stare and judge And they're always listening, so I'm keeping my mouth shut I want to set fire to this town and put the car in gear Watch it all burn down in my rear view mirror Gonna turn the radio up, and we can disappear Watch the sun come up any place but here These haunted houses with their curtains drawn This desolation, it goes on and on This lonely sidewalk I've been walking all night long This small town feeling, it's wearing thin These walls around me, they're closing in It's a broken record, and it's making my head spin I want to set fire to this town and put the car in gear Watch it all burn down in my rear view mirror Gonna turn the radio up, and we can disappear Watch the sun come up any place but here

Lyrics:

Watch 'em come and go like a flash in the pan But everybody knows that we're lifers man Yeah I know this place like the back of my hand A long time ago we put a flag in the sand All the late nights in the 813 At the Crowbar and the New World Brewery Baby we ain't as reckless as we used to be But we can run with the devil when the drinks are free We learn our lessons the hard way We lay it all on the line We pay our dues on the highway So many miles behind We bare our souls in the barlight?We leave our blood on the stage It's only chords on a fretboard It's only words on a page See I was born with an empty space to fill Just a kid dreaming, leaning on a window sill Now I gotta keep moving, baby, can't stand still 'Cause if the drinking don't kill me the anxiety will We learn our lessons the hard way We lay it all on the line We pay our dues on the highway So many miles behind We bare our souls in the barlight?We leave our blood on the stage It's only chords on a fretboard It's only words on a page It's only words on a page We leave our blood on the stage...

Lyrics:

I’m frustrated with my, Situation and I, can’t get it right Appreciate what you’ve got But don’t stop that push to the top Never plateau Or so, I’m told This Hollywood hustlers on the way This Hollywood hustlers on the Chorus And with you, I know, you’re here You’re with me, it’s us, against the world I sing in circles with my Constant pull from each side It’s time to find, my grind This paranoia does me in, this glamour life or throw it in My instincts have lead me here It doesn’t mean they have been clear Chorus And with you, I know, you’re here You’re with me, it’s us, against the world

Lyrics:

Ages ago and worlds away Beneath the moon, the branches swayed The seeds we sowed, the songs we sang Then restless hearts went separate ways Me and you, we're the same We tend to go against, against the grain The pages turn through time and space The stars align, the bond remains The moon above, strange chemistry Restless hearts we'll always be Me and you, we're the same We tend to go against, against the grain Me and you, we're the same We go against, against the grain

Lyrics:

Living in the future The future's been a long time coming Caught up in the race we're running Yeah, we're running out You listen to the rumors Listen to the things they're saying Get caught up in the noise they're making Well it drowns you out I can see you running with the wrong crowd Just trying to find your way out, your way back home again And I can see you standing in your own way Just trying to make it through your day like everybody Now your standing in the shadows Looking for a space to crawl in You notice that the sky is falling Yeah it's falling down Drowning in the shallows Keep your head above the surface Fight against the undercurrent Til it drags you out I can see you running with the wrong crowd Just trying to find your way out, your way back home again And I can see you standing in your own way Just trying to make it through your day like everybody I was born in the nineteen-seventies There's a sound fading out like a memory

Lyrics:

It started with a choir of angels Turned into a murder of crows They gathered overhead on the powerlines Waiting there to feast upon the bodies below Yeah it must've been a dream Can you tell me what it means I am the infinite traveler I am a leaf on a stream I was coming home for the weekend Commuting on a passenger train The conductor came around, calling out a town That I swear I'd never even heard of by name One I invented in a dream A place like I had never seen Somehow I felt I belonged there A place that I was meant to be I am the infinite traveler I am a refugee I am a wayfaring stranger adrift upon a sea I need a choir of angels to sing a song to me I am the infinite traveler I am the infinite traveler I need a moment of silence I need a minute to think A little time for reflection I could use a strong drink I need a choir of angels to sing me back to sleep I am the infinite traveler I am the infinite traveler

Lyrics:

1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4 Bah, bah, dah, bah, bah, dah We watched it all In disbelief At the trains station on Christmas Eve A tragic tail A gruesome scene A bitter end for the chief of police It was a blessing and a curse Don’t get me wrong could be worse When you wake to find the devil where you sleep Sounds like you got your moneys worth Turns out the chief was on the take He battled demons no honest man could take Made demands he could not fulfill And he got caught with his hand in the till It was a blessing and a curse Don’t get me wrong could be worse When it all comes crumbling down around your feet You could say you got your moneys worth That’s when the chief cam stumbling in With a half empty bottle of gin The west over The shot rang out The bottle shattered as his body hit the ground It was a blessing and a curse Don’t get me wrong could be worse There’s a lesson to be learned You played with fire and he got burned When it all comes crumbling down into the sea They’ll say I got my moneys worth Bah, bah, dah, bah, bah, dah Got my money’s worth

Lyrics:

The serpent bit my heel and I bruised his head Though we were not dead, we were dying "It's how it's gotta be," that copperhead said As we fell to the red ground, writhing So I sand a tune to charm that old snake That I might make my escape The snake, it seemed, had heard the song once or twice And decided I needed advice "My bite, it will hurt but not harm you." So I sang my song and sang it in vain It didn't ease my pain or my cryin' Just then the serpent turned and wiped up my tears Said "Nothing to fear," he was lying So I stared into his eyes for a spell To contemplate heaven and hell I heard him talk about when grandfather fell And when he got to the parts that I knew I knew he had changed them to hide you I told that serpent that "I see through your schemes, You get behind me, I'm not buying." The snake just smiled and said, "I'll do as you please, For a small fee I'll be complyin'." So to the scene of the original crime The serpent and I went this time I still don't know what that snake hoped we would find But here's what I saw: the rise and the fall And my grandfather walking just like I am

Lyrics:

I wanna go where the sun is in my hair, always and I wanna go where I can dance all day to the beat of your drum and I know that I’ll always be I know that I’ll always stay forever young forever young It feels so good for life to be this way and now we know that If we believe in ourselves we can be anything man You know that we’ll always be You know that we’ll always stay forever young (4x) He’s trying to change that it is really true he’s... that it can only be good forever young (3x)
