Hush little baby don't cry like that
God's gonna buy you a Cadillac He's chosen you to do his will You can spread the word in your coupe de ville So jump in the river and learn to swim God's gonna wash away all your sins And if you still can't see the light God's gonna buy you a satellite Look to the heavens and see it shine Heals the sick and leads the blind Tune it in and hear it say It's countin' down to judgment day So jump in the river and learn to swim God's gonna wash away all your sins And if you still can't see the light God's gonna buy you a satellite Hey satellite man your time has come Your word received by everyone And should you fall, well that's ok You love the ones that you betray So jump in the river and learn to swim God's gonna wash away all your sins And when at last you see the light God's gonna buy you a satellite |

Freedom has its ups and downs
Walk the streets of lonesome town Try to find some company Somebody who will talk to me Well I'm here all alone A wind blows home We'll find it someday There's no reason to cry For days gone by Oh, Karla, we can make it if we try Hurricanes and Cadillacs They run you down and don't look back Oh where can my salvation be A tender touch to comfort me But I'm here all alone A wind blows home We'll find it someday There's no reason to cry For days gone by Oh, Karla, we can make it if we try No matter how the wind may blow You belong to me Like the mountains to the sky And you know when I close my eyes You're the one I see Oh, Karla, we can make it if we try Old man river's on the rise Wash the circles from my eyes Hurricane is on its way You can call it Karla Karla with a k |

I was walkin' real fast, I was too scared to run
Past this lonesome graveyard where the highway meets the sun Well that old graveyard's been around since the civil war I had a feelin' that I'd been here before I heard a voice, it was talkin' real slow She said it's time to make a choice, is it yes or is it no I said ok, do what you wanna do Then she took me to a world I never knew Where we danced so close, we were teenage ghosts We were doin' that graveyard waltz After all is said and done we were just too young To be doin' that graveyard waltz Next thing I knew the first dance was done But this magic carpet ride had just begun Heaven only knows where she learned to drive Between the tombstones and the ones still left alive And then that old soul band began to play In triple time, she was begging me to stay And when the masquerade had started up again She said this is the night that never ends Where we danced so close, we were teenage ghosts We were doin' that graveyard waltz After all is said and done we were just too young To be doin' that graveyard waltz I was walkin' real fast, I was too scared to run |

Here we are on the battlefield
A civil war is all each other feels You say blue and I say gray But we know love ain't love if it fades away Don't let it fade away Just leave these troubles behind And break down all the battle lines Open up your eyes girl, we're fightin' on the same side Here we are on the battlefield Wounded by the words that cut so deep I can't give if you won't take Maybe we're just afraid that it's too late I know it's not too late Just leave these troubles behind And break down all the battle lines Open up your eyes girl, we're fightin' on the same side We're both soldiers of the heart Fightin' for the dream that fell apart We both know this war is real Surrender to the way we used to feel I miss the way we used to feel Just leave these troubles behind And break down all the battle lines Open up your eyes girl, we're fightin' on the same side |

I met a man in Memphis
Glory to the south Minister of magic Keeper of the house Standing at the crossroads He gathered up my bones Threw them on his back and said "Hey son, it's time to find the one way home" Such a long way Such a long long way Such a long long way to go I found a friend in Phoenix Said she knew the way Talkin' 'bout tomorrow Countin' down the days I woke up in her garden Lost but not alone She gathered up my things and said "hey son, it's time to find the one way home" Such a long way Such a long long way Such a long long way to go I came upon a castle Changing of the guard Looked beyond the barbed wire Saw my own backyard I heard a million voices From statues made of stone say "welcome to the big one, son you're just in time to find the one way home" Such a long way Such a long long way Such a long long way to go Which direction will you take On the journey you must make |

Did you think I could ever forget
The night by the arlington flame In the silence I heard it Through streets so deserted You whispered and called me by name Did you think I could ever forget That powerful look in your eye Where Lincoln stood strong there You held me so long there that night On the fourth of July I hope and I pray that you'll be here with me When the mountains that rise tumble into the sea And the kingdoms that come set us free on our way Hope you'll be here with me Home on Washington's day Now when this world and that world collide And the powers that be hit you low When you're feeling so small in the face of it all And you're lost on eternity row When the wars that men wage are all through And their monuments put on display Tell the hungry and stranded The poor empty handed We'll meet them on Washington's day I hope and I pray that you'll be here with me When the mountains that rise tumble into the sea And the kingdoms that come set us free on our way Hope you'll be here with me Home on Washington's day Did you think I could ever forget The night by the arlington flame Where the monuments laugh over thousands of years You whispered and called me by name And when the sun goes down At the end of the day You know I'll always remember You who were tender to me On Washington's day I hope and I pray that you'll be here with me When the mountains that rise tumble into the sea And the visions that come are the visions that stay Hope you'll be here with me Home on Washington's day |

It was a night to remember, a fire down below
Couldn't hide from the heat there was nowhere to go And the cat on the roof, she's running for cover Deep in the jungle of a hard rockin summer I was a young Romeo tryin' to find Juliet I was hot on the trail of my own silhouette And the cat on the roof, she's crazy from hunger She waits in the shadows of a hard rockin summer And then the sky started falling and night hit the ground Thought I heard someone calling, the ghost of a sound Now the cat on the roof has captured the hunter Deep in the jungle of a hard rockin summer It was a night to remember, you know what I mean Now it's late in September and she's just a dream And the cat on the roof, she's back under cover And I'm just a prisoner of a hard rockin summer |

She was the fire and I was the engine
One of a thousand built to last She was the fire dancing with hunger She knew I would follow 'til I ran out of gas Lost in the summer of burning desire She lit the night for miles away Out of control, yeah she was the fire And off in the distance she called my name Engine 999, I'll meet you on the roads we used to ride Engine 999, a thousand dreams we left behind She was the fire and I was her prisoner One of a thousand tied to her flame She was the fire dancing with hunger And the way she danced was never the same I was a fool to try and contain her One of a thousand consumed in her path Running like wild yeah she was the fire I was the engine she was calling back Engine 999, I'll meet you on the roads we used to ride Engine 999, a thousand dreams we left behind She was the fire and I was the engine She was the one I couldn't tame Out of control, yeah she was the fire And still I can hear her call my name Engine 999, I'll meet you on the roads we used to ride Engine 999, a thousand dreams we left behind |
