A moment of steel
A dry-eyed house Did he say goodbye to you Or did you kick him out I know you're not afraid To go alone But this was a marriage of spirit, flesh, and bone Now whatcha gonna do When the planet shifts Whatcha gonna do Gonna slit your wrists And bleed all over the Milky Way The stars in your eyes look red today Cry love, cry love The tears of an angel The tears of a dove Spilling all over, your heart from above Cry love, cry love The trust of a woman in his hand But he was a little boy, not a man You loved him stronger than he could feel Yeah he was wrapped up in himself like an orange peel Now whatcha gonna do With the booze and the blush Whatcha gonna do When there's no rush Cop a little misery At the corner store Well one day that train of pain won't stop no more Cry love, cry love The tears of an angel The tears of a dove Spilling all over, your heart from above Cry love, cry love Throwing up ashes on the floor If this is a lesson in love Well what's it for? The heart will remember The burning fire The next time you feel the flame of desire Cry love, cry love The tears of an angel The tears of a dove Spilling all over, your heart from above Cry love, cry love Cry love, cry love The tears of an angel The tears of a dove Spilling all over, your heart from above Cry love, cry love Cry love, cry love, cry love |

When that howling wind
Comes to carry you again Just like your next of kin You must go To a far away place Where you don't recognize one face Don't unpack your old suitcase Cause you must go You must go and you must ramble Through every briar and bramble Till your life is in a shambles Maybe then you will know You were born to blunder Born to wander, born to wonder Even when you're six feet under There's place That you must go It is something you done Are you loyal to no one Turn your back on the sun And you must go It it something she said You keep this all up in your head Now your face is turning red And you must go You must go and you must ramble Through every briar and bramble Till your life is in a shambles Maybe then you will know You were born to blunder Born to wander, born to wonder Even when you're six feet under There's place That you must go Love is in the air You can smell it everywhere Its in your clothes, it's in her hair Ah, you better get out of there It's gonna take a midnight train To straighten out your winding brain Like a snake in the rain You must go You must go and you must ramble Through every briar and bramble Till your life is in a shambles Maybe then you will know You were born to blunder Born to wander, born to wonder Even when you're six feet under There's place That you must go |

Someone called out to you
And it sounded just like crying On a street where nobody Even knows your name Your mind was getting high on the sweet air As your spirit was flying Steam rising from the sidewalks Of New Orleans after an evening rain Steam rising from the sidewalks After an evening rain And it only made the heat Feel like it was walking even closer As you headed up St. Charles To catch a streetcar named Desire Young couple struggling in the doorway Like he was trying to force her In the distance you swore You could hear them open fire Tires squealing in the distance As you heard them open fire Walk on, walk on Don't look back Don't ask questions Don't you try to understand Walk on, walk on Straight back down to your hotel room Where she lies waiting for her man You're so afraid you might be losing love That is makes you worry And you wonder if she's ever seen this Kind of fear in you And you think of that young couple In the doorway And it makes you hurry You wonder what kind of fear They might be living through Yeah you wonder if They saw that fear in you Walk on, walk on Don't look back Don't ask questions Don't you try to understand Walk on, walk on Straight back down to your hotel room Where she lies waiting for her man |

Well she was a millionaire
Before she was fourteen But there was an emptiness there That to practically everyone else could be seen She hit up on the drug of love Though there was no hole in her arm There was a hole some place else About as big as dady 10.000 acre farm Oh, she was dying for it For all the world to see Ah, she was as good as she could be Well she had a baby at eighteen Never finished high school Her husband beat her for money and sex Till that cadillac finally ran out of fuel One disaster led to another Down to her and her baby son Born with a silver spoon in her mouth Headed south now Cause she was never born to run Oh, she was dying for it For all the world to see Ah, she was as good as she could be Oh, she was dying for it For all the world to see Ah, she was as good as she could be Well her momma died last year And her daddy he called her back home But when he opened the door He could not recognize This spectre of hair and bone But it was his own baby child Though she looked like an old woman now Well she lived ten lifetimes in five years Anywhere that the law would allow Oh, she was dying for it For all the world to see Ah, she was as good as she could be Oh, she was dying for it For all the world to see Ah, she was as good as she could be Yeah, she was good as she could be Ah, she was good as she could be |

Oh the river knows your name
And your tears falling like the rain All around you suffering and pain Oh the river knows your name And the river hears you cry As the lightning cracks the open sky As your Momma sings a lullaby Oh the river she knows why Let the river wash you down Beneath the surface With a rushing sound Like a freight train passing through a town Let the river wash you down Let the river take away All the words That you and I could never say In the silence Darling let us pray Let the river take it all away Oh the river knows your name From the Brazos to the Wabash To the Seine No two journeys Are ever quite the same But the river knows your name Oh the river knows your name |

You finally found the mainstream
In the middle of your life You tapped into a vein Of endless gold chains Now you're locked up tight Tearing down the middle of it Splitting it right in half Bobbing up and down the waves Like a runaway slave On a Huck Finn raft Take your wife Take your family Take your gun Running through the woods And the burned out neighborhoods Looking for someone A member of your tribe A Place you can hide 'Til the war has begun 'Cause in the fields before the flood You'll be spilling blood Like a native son Where you gonna run to There ain't no underground If only you could fly You'd cut across the sky Like a rifle round Oh, who are your people And where is your homeland 'Cause they're dying side by side At the river of pride Where we tried to take a stand Take your wife Take your family Take your gun Running through the woods And the burned out neighborhoods Looking for someone A member of your tribe A Place you can hide 'Til the war has begun 'Cause in the fields before the flood You'll be spilling blood Like a native son Take your wife Take your family Take your gun Running through the woods And the burned out neighborhoods Looking for someone A member of your tribe A Place you can hide 'Til the war has begun 'Cause in the fields before the flood You'll be spilling blood Like a native son In the fields before the flood You'll be spilling blood Like a native son |

Could not get to sleep
It was on my wedding night I was tangled in the sheets And I was dreaming of a light Pouring from her window Coming up through the floor Lifting up the darkness Crashing through my kitchen door Down to that old oak table I went to take a look And my whole life flashed before me Just like a story book She used to make me breakfast Or sit around and talk Have another cup of coffee Or maybe take a little walk Dust down a country road Blowing int he wind Behind an old truck load Up before the rooster crowed There's an old dog staring At the dust down a country road And that truck is going somewhere I just can't be sure When tomorrow's just the day After all that's gone before And I always thought of leaving I never could stay too long Now her memory's catching up And our sweet dreams are all gone Dust down a country road Blowing int he wind Behind an old truck load Up before the rooster crowed There's an old dog staring At the dust down a country road If I had a bullet I'd put it in this gun And I'd catch that old dog napping And I'd shoot him before he runs Cause he ain't much good for nothin' Except staring at the dust Lord I wonder what he's looking at Sneaking up on us Dust down a country road Blowing int he wind Behind an old truck load Up before the rooster crowed There's an old dog staring At the dust down a country road |

I'm sitting on the toilet
With my sunglasses on Wondering what you are up to This hotel's got bathroom telephones But I don't want to interrupt you You might be painting your nails With your hot curlers on Each one a different color Or listening to that Beach Boys sailing song Sloop John B or another Ethylene, my Ethylene My love for you is just obscene My deer you dress My fish you clean But you are nowhere to be seen My Ethylene Well you could bag your limit With a bow and arrow Yeah you could skin a cougar in the dark Well I thought we were walking Down the straight and narrow How'd we ever drift so far apart I took my eighteen wheels On this road to nowhere And you disappeared right up in the hills Like smoke up a chimney Girl, I go there Yeah in my dreams I visit you still Ethylene, my Ethylene My love for you is just obscene My deer you dress My fish you clean But you are nowhere to be seen My Ethylene Now some men will drive To the edges of nothing So they can take a peak at the great abyss Some men avoid love Like it was a plague or something So they can leave the seat down When they piss I miss that crocheted thing You kept on the Kleenex box I miss my feet On your cold linoleum floor Sippin hot coffee After makin love till daybreak Well Ethylene a fool would ask for more Ethylene, my Ethylene My love for you is just obscene My deer you dress My fish you clean But you are nowhere to be seen My Ethylene Ethylene, my Ethylene My love for you is just obscene My deer you dress My fish you clean But you are nowhere to be seen My Ethylene My Ethylene, my Ethylene, my Ethylene |

Tonight I'm howling at a foreign moon
Might as well be a junkie's spoon For all the light it's given me Sinking in my misery It's been forty days and forty nights Darling since I held you tight I walk the desert of my dreams I got to get out of here before I scream Too much take off, too much landing No such love, no understanding I can't wait baby till you're by my side I can't wait baby though you know I've tried I can't wait baby just one more ride I can't wait till you're by my side Could you crawl through your telephone Girl I'm so tired of being alone I'm talking to walls in my hotel room Around the world in a sonic boom Some close calls and some near misses All I want is your sweet soul kisses I can't wait baby till you're by my side I can't wait baby though you know I've tried I can't wait baby just one more ride I can't wait till you're by my side For all the noise on my hometown street Little children playing at my feet Well I would give my soul to be Back in your arms in Tennessee Too much take off, too much landing No such love, no understanding I can't wait baby till you're by my side I can't wait though you know I've tried I can't wait just one more ride I can't wait, can't wait Baby till you're by my side I can't wait baby till your by my side I can't wait though you know I've tried I can't wait just one more ride I can't wait till you're by my side |

There's a dead girl's body
By the railroad track She's waiting for a train Jimmy left town like a fade to black In his Camero in the rain She wrote it down and burned it Jimmy loves who knows who Well he wasn't from around this town And mister neither are you She was listening into that Monon line For the Wabash Cannonball Put your head on the rail And you can hear her whine Just like a caterwaul She wrote it down and burned it She clutched it flaming to her chest It said Jimmy loves cars And Jimmy loves trains Ah but Jimmy, Jimmy loves me best There's a dead girl's body By the railroad track Waiting for a train Well I guess Jimmy never did come back In his Camaro in the rain She wrote it down and burned it Yeah the only way I know You could still read some words In the ashes there But she could not watch him go She wrote it down and burned it |

These are the words
That cry out of me in the night Like a buffalo herd From a shotgun blast scattered in flight I got a one track mind Going down a one train line Living on dreams half the time Going West I gotta pick up speed Just to get what I need The end of the line guaranteed Your love is my rest The coal catches fire I'm down the wire in a flash That big old smoke stack Is belching out black smoke and ash So sad to think of Hurting the one you love But surely that's what leaving does You'd know best I gotta pick up speed Just to get what I need The end of the line guaranteed Your love is my rest Your love is my rest We pass through the land Of Custer's last stand And I grin So this is where old Yellow Hair's Ghost dance begins I got the blood on my hands Can't even live where I stand I'm just a traveling man Cursed or blessed I gotta pick up speed Just to get what I need The end of the line guaranteed Your love is my rest Your love is my rest Your love is my rest |

Friend of mine
Has gone away Like a light from yesterday Lost in space Somewhere they say This friend of mine He could sing Like a child A mother's dream So sweet and mild Or big and mean Loud and wild This friend of mine His voice is still Like the night Rustling winds Of angel's flight Take him home To the light This friend of mine This friend of mine |

I wouldn't trade your sweetness
For all the sugar in the world Girl, and I know you'll always be The sweetest part of me These bitter tears we've cried All of the smack in Manhattan Could not keep me high Why do you do the things you do To keep me loving you Darlin' I don't know why But you are my mile high Oh my An altered state of being Is what everybody's looking for Surely they see whenever you're around My feet don't touch the ground Baby come fly with me You are my mile high Oh my Darlin' you are my mile high Let's make this dance last forever Please don't you ever say goodbye Darlin' I want to stay this way Tangled up in the sway Until the day I die You are my mile high Oh my Darlin' you are my mile high |
