Is this your life, Jackie Brown?
Poorly educated and forced to live on the poor side of town. Is this your daughter, Jackie Brown? This pretty little girl In the worn out clothes That have been hand-me down. Is this your wife, Jackie Brown? With sad blue eyes, walking on eggshells so you don't see her frown. Is this your family, Jackie Brown? Dream of vacationing on a mountain stream And giving the world more than it gave you. What ugly truths freedom brings And it hasn't been very kind to you. Is this your life, Jackie Brown? Is this your meal, Jackie Brown? Barely enough, I've seen people throw away more than this out. Is this your home, Jackie Brown? This three room shack With no running water And the bathroom out back. Is this your grave, Jackie Brown? This little piece of limestone that says another desperate man took himself out. Is this your dream, Jackie Brown? Going nowhere and nowhere fast We shame ourselves to watch people like this live. But who gives a damn about Jackie Brown? Just another lazy man who couldn't take what was his. One helluva life Jackie Brown. Forevermore, Jackie Brown Amen and amen - Jackie Brown? |

Scarecrow on a wooden cross Blackbird in the barn
Four hundred empty acres that used to be my farm I grew up like my daddy did My grandpa cleared this land When I was five I walked the fence while grandpa held my hand Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow This land fed a nation This land made me proud And Son I'm just sorry there's no legacy for you now Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow The crops we grew last summer weren't enough to pay the loans Couldn't buy the seed to plant this spring and the Farmers Bank foreclosed Called my old friend Schepman up to auction off the land He said John it's just my job and I hope you understand Hey calling it your job ol' hoss sure don't make it right But if you want me to I'll say a prayer for your soul tonight And grandma's on the front porch swing with a Bible in her hand Sometimes I hear her singing "Take me to the Promised Land" When you take away a man's dignity he can't work his fields and cows There'll be blood on the scarecrow Blood on the plow Blood on the scarecrow Blood on the plow Well there's ninety-seven crosses planted in the courthouse yard Ninety-seven families who lost ninety-seven farms I think about my grandpa and my neighbors and my name And some nights I feel like dyin' Like that scarecrow in the rain Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow This land fed a nation This land made me proud And Son I'm just sorry they're just memories for you now Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow This land fed a nation This land made me proud And Son I'm just sorry they're just memories for you now Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow Rain on the scarecrow Blood on the plow |

Well, we're droppin' our bombs
In the southern hemisphere And people are starving That live right here And they're tearing down walls In the name of peace And they're killing each other In the Middle East But love and happiness Have forgotten our names And there's no value left In love and happiness They raise the price of oil And they censor our mouths If you're a young couple today Forget buying a house And we wage or wars In the neighborhoods We kill the young to feed the old And man that ain't no good But love and happiness Have forgotten our names And there's no value left In love and happiness So, if you sell arms Or you run dope You got respect And you got hope But the rest of us die On your battle fields With wounds that fester and bleed But never heal But love and happiness Have forgotten our names And there's no value left In love and happiness And love and happiness And love and happiness Have forgotten our names And there's no value left In love and happiness Love and happiness Love and happiness Love and happiness |

She had a dream
And boy it was a good one So she chased after her dream With much desire But when she got too close To her expectations Well the dream burned up Like paper in fire Paper in fire Stinkin' up the ashtrays Paper in fire Smokin' up the alleyways Who's to say the way A man should spend his days Do you let them smolder Like paper in fire He wanted love With no involvement So he chased the wind That's all his silly life required And the days of vanity Went on forever And he saw his days burn up Like paper in fire Paper in fire Stinkin' up the ashtrays Paper in fire Smokin' up the alleyways Who's to say the way A man should spend his days Do you let them smolder Like paper in fire There's a good life Right across this green field And each generation Stares at it from afar But we keep no check On our appetites So the green fields turn to brown Like paper in fire Paper in fire Stinkin' up the ashtrays Paper in fire Smokin' up the alleyways Who's to say the way A man should spend his days Do you let them smolder Like paper in fire Paper in fire Stinkin' up the ashtrays Paper in fire Smokin' up the alleyways Who's to say the way A man should spend his days Do you let them smolder Like paper in fire |

This land today, shall draw its last breath
And take into its ancient depths This frail reminder of its giant, dreaming self. While I, with human-hindered eyes Unequal to the sweeping curve of life, Stand on this single print of time. Human wheels spin round and round While the clock keeps the pace. Human wheels spin round and round Help the light to my face. That time, today, no triumph gains At this short success of age. This pale reflection of its brave and Blundering deed. For I, descend from this vault, Now dreams beyond my earthly fault Knowledge, sure, from the seed. Human wheels spin round and round While the clock keeps the pace. Human wheels spin round and round Help the light to my face. This land, today, my tears shall taste And take into its dark embrace. This love, who in my beating heart endures, Assured, by every sun that burns, The dust to which this flesh shall return. It is the ancient, dreaming dust of God. Human wheels spin round and round While the clock keeps the pace. Human wheels spin round and round Help the light to my face. Human wheels spin round and round While the clock keeps the pace. Human wheels spin round and round Help the light to my face. |

When Jesus left Birmingham All the disciples went crazy. When Jesus left Birmingham All the people went completely nuts. They all busted out on a wild night Riding high on a golden calf. When Jesus left Birmingham All the people had themselves a big long laugh. Well my girl, she's a walker And she can talk herself out of any mess. My girl, she don't pray But somehow she seems still to be blessed. And when those crazy nights come callin', Man, she'll dance on the tables Like all of the rest. When my girl left Birmingham She was doing what she thought was best. It's all free on the inside. I passed a very uncomfortable feeling last night. Save us right now, we need you... To hell with all the lies and liars. Recovery, recovery, I don't know about any recovery. Inside, gotta get inside, Inside. I see myself with a rosary, I'm in a garden and I'm talking to myself. I ain't sayin' much worth repeating, Just askin' for forgiveness and all of his best. When those crazy nights come callin', Man, I'm just as human as I can be. When Jesus left Birmingham He left it there for you and me. When Jesus left Birmingham He left it there for you and me. So let it rock, let it roll, Let the Bible Belt come and save my soul. (Repeat out.) |

What if I came knocking
On your front door some night? Would you open the window And drop me down the key? What if I came knocking On your bedpost that same night? Would you open up your heart Or try to get the best of me?

Would you build up your big walls And try to hide behind that smile Or would you try to pull the wool right over me? So what if I came knocking? (What if I came knocking?) So what if I came knocking? (What if I came knocking?) So what if I came kicking And it scared you a little bit, And I came on strong Would you think That there's something wrong with me?

What if I came knocking On your front door some night? Ah-hah. So let's just say it worked out Like a storybook dream And we lived happily ever after. Fa la la la. But what if I came crying After just a few weeks And said I misread my heart, This is not really meant to be? Yeah. So if you hear some knocking On your window tonight You can bet that it's, uh, probably me. But let it be known That we're just a pair of tumbling dice And the outcome of these crap shoots Is hard to see. So what if I came knocking? (What if I came knocking?) So what if I came knocking? (What if I came knocking?) So what if I came knocking On your front door tonight? Ah-hah. (What if I came knocking?) So what if I came knocking?

Don't look at me, don't touch me
Keep your mind straight ahead Don't get no funny ideas about me Or you'll wish that you were dead That's what I'm thinking she must be thinking The girl I spent 53 bucks on last night She gives me a look from the corner of her eye That says, "Boy, keep acting right." How surprised was I When she leaned over and whispered in my ear Get a leg up Get a leg over boy Get a leg up What's the matter Are you shy, shy, shy? I'm pretty good with first impressions But sometimes I'm not always right I pulled the car to the shoulder of the road To see what she had in mind Want me to spend the night Hey, lover boy you know I will And my best girlfriend that lives down the road Together we will thrill ya And I'm thinking to myself I could be lucky Pierre tonight If I could get a leg up If I could get a leg over boy You know I ain't that handsome But you know I ain't shy, shy, shy The rest of the night went on and on And the moral to this song Don't go making hasty judgments Because sometimes they could be wrong Nothing wrong with a good time Just keep yourself protected, make a list And you can bet your life that the women don't know The little girls are acting like this So the next time a young one moves up And she whispers in your ear Get a leg up Get a leg over boy Get a leg up Now don't you be shy, shy, shy Get a leg up Get a leg over boy You know I ain't that handsome But you know I ain't shy, shy, shy Get a leg up Get a leg over boy Get a leg up Now don't you be shy, shy, shy |

And you comb your hair and grab your coat and hat And you walk the streets trying to remember, yeah All those wild nights breeze through your mind And everything looks so complete When you're walking out on the street And the wind catches your feet And sends you flying, crying Oooh, oo-ooh wee The wild night is calling All the girls walk by dressed up for each other And the boys do the boogie woogie on the corner of the street And the people passing by just stare with the wild wonder And the inside jukebox roars just like thunder And everything looks so complete When you're walking out on the street And the wind catches your feet And sends you flying, crying Oooh, oo-ooh wee The wild night is calling The wi---ld night is calling The wi---ld night is calling Come on out and dance (Come on out and dance) Come on out and make romance Come on out and dance (Come on out and dance) Come on out and make romance And everything looks so complete When you're walking out on the street And the wind catches your feet And sends you flying, crying Oooh, oo-ooh wee The wild night is calling Oooh, oo-ooh wee The wild night is calling |

All the leaves are green
All my friends are gone I'm livin' in my hometown I can barely get along I feel sorry for myself That's an easy thing to do I feel sorry for the world I feel sorry for you Yes I am a pitiful sight I can't even get one thing right I know just what it's like To be a rider ridin' in the rumbleseat Yes I know just what it's like To be a big time rider in the rumbleseat Well I could have a nervous breakdown But I don't believe in shrinks I should be drunker than a monkey But I don't like to drink Call up some girls But I'm afraid of the phone I'm always talkin' to myself I guess I'm never alone Am I the only one that feels this way I'd buy myself some stylish clothes But I sure hate to pay I know just what it's like To be a rider ridin' in the rumbleseat Yes I know just what it's like To be a big time rider in the rumbleseat The sun is coming up Just goin' to bed I combed my hair with my pillow Still got some dreams left Tomorrow is a new day Gonna make these dreams come true I'm gonna believe in myself I'll tell you what I'm gonna do I'm gonna stop puttin' myself down I'm gonna turn my life around I'll be ridin' high With my feet kicked up in the rumbleseat Yeah we'll go for a drive And we'll be singin' shotgun from that rumbleseat Yes I will blow you a kiss And we'll be ridin' big time in my rumbleseat |

I've had a lot of girls in my life They never meant that much to me A good time was always had by all But those ggod times, they were fleeting memories I used to lie to them and then I'd kiss them But I kept them an arm's length away Well hey man now you know me And look how silly I been acting today Chorus: This time I really think I'm in love, I'm in love This time I think I'm really in love This time I really think I'm in love This time I think I'm really in love I used to roll down the window And let that tape deck blow And look at the honey I was holding that night I'd say, "Hey girl you're the one" And then I'd laugh when I'd take her home You got your arms around my shoulders You got my soul confused with my heart You were too smart to believe all those tired lines And I was too dumb to know what had started I hope you don't lose that innocent laughter I hope time doesn't take that away Chorus |

If you believe
Won't you please raise your hands Let's hear your voices Let us know where you stand Don't shout from the shadows Cause it won't mean a damn Now more than ever Now more than ever The world needs love Not just a slogan But the world needs love Now more than ever I can't stand alone Now more than ever If I was to buy you A diamond ring Make you my princess Would it mean anything Would you take me for granted And just curse my name Now more than ever Now more than ever The world needs love Not just a slogan But the world needs love Now more than ever I can't stand alone Now more than ever Who am I to say What needs to be done I'm just nobody Another lost one Caught between what's left And what needs to be done Now more than ever The loss of love Now more than ever The loss of our dreams Now more than ever It's not too late Now more than ever The world needs love Not just a slogan But the world needs love Now more than ever I can't stand alone Now more than ever Now more than ever The world needs love Not just a slogan But the world needs love Now more than ever I can't stand alone Now more than ever |
