It aint no jive I was burning alive Whenever you walk in the room It happened so quickly I was feeling so sickly Like the lover who lost his own muse The sharks in the tank or The men in the bank He wants my money to loan I can’t understand What the hell is his plan While he aint even got a home Aint got a home Girl on a street With holes in her feet Looks through the eyes of a cloud She don’t look amazed She’s feeling kind of sad So I just walk around I reassess, she’s down on her luck She’s reading a book full of lies I don’t know when ill be coming home baby But I sure sympathize Can sympathize Can sympathize Angels spread their wings On all the dirty things But you Do She drops to the floor Her head’s by the door Her bible is by her side Heaven is calling The new world is falling And she aint got a single person left To confide No one to confide No one to confide Ah to confide I sympathize Can Sympathize |

Don't wanna be a martyr in this war Don't wanna hear the same excuses anymore That everything's a threat And it's only gonna get worse if we let it Don't wanna blame the rich for what they got Don't point a finger at the poor for what they have not Though the politician and the priest Live in the belly of the beast because we fed it Freedom is seldom found By beating someone to the ground Telling them how everything is gonna be now, yeah Now if the tables were turned tell me how you would feel Somebody busted up into your house telling you to stay still While the leaders will deny defeat Innocents they testify by dying in the street Freedom is seldom found By beating someone to the ground Telling them how everything is gonna be now Freedom is seldom found By beating someone to the ground Telling them how everything is gonna be now |

You speak of love But you ain't no lover You were a friend More like a brother As the miles pass beneath me The sounds made so sweetly came to an end And no man can deny her but now you're a liar And you've no room left to defend When I left I should have known better Of the kind of man that you are You'd have to get her And I know you got a lot of pain That's born inside you But instead of growing stronger You let it divide you, oh How could you be so careless How could you be so careless And the waves that are crashing True lives of passion washing on your shore Yes Sir, life has been costing A true love's been lost And I can't get back anymore And I'm sure That we both still both love her And it's a shame we both lost her And in time lost each other But a trust has been broken And words have been spoken But you can mend And no man can deny her And as you laid beside her I hope it felt good my friend How could you be so careless How could you be so careless How could you be so careless with her heart |

I don't know
if I can do this alone Oh after all our sweet love is flown I've been a running I've been skipping like a stone And I don't know if I I can do this all alone When I met her she was standing by a door I ain't never seen a light like that before Now she's left me for something more sure And I don't know if I I can do this anymore 'Cause lovers will come lovers will go This rare seed are from which true love might grow If you see her won't you please say hello 'Cause I don't know I can do this alone |

I've been working on a night train
Drinking coffee, taking cocaine I'm out here on a night train Trying to get us safely home Well in a little country station Somewhere out in the midwest I see the people out there waiting Heart beating in my chest And I'm thinking about a woman Who I would put no one above I'm not looking to replace her Just need someone to love Well I'm out here on my night train Drinking coffee, taking cocaine I'm out here on a night train Trying to get us safely home And I'm living in the city Where the noise, it never stops How much pounding on the pavement Whizzes from traffic cops Nobody looks you in the eye here Walking around with clinched fists I've been searching for a simple place Don't know if it exists There's a sunrise out there calling my name I can see her moving, I can see her moving Well at a certain time of night, now I'll become one with the wind Where there isn't a beginning And there is no end Oh when everything is flowing Everything is on time And I know that we're all going To the end of the line Well I'm out here on my night train Drinking coffee, taking cocaine I'm out here on a night train Trying to get us safely home Well I'm out here on my night train Drinking coffee, taking cocaine I'm out here on a night train Trying to get us safely home Trying to get us safely home Trying to get us safely home |

Farewell my sweet
Well the time that was coming The road has begun to move beneath my feet Good things come to an end Well I hope through the pain The heartache and strain we can still remain friends Something about a southern girl Make me feel right In a Mississippi morning She's an angel in flight In a blink of an eye She'll be out of your sight Something about a southern girl You're a soft melody Well I swear that I heard From a lost mockingbird stuck up in a tree We got a lot going on Even though I'm not here Please don't shed any tears for me day when I'm gone Something about a southern girl Make me feel right In a Mississippi morning She's an angel in flight In a blink of an eye She'll be out of your sight Something about a southern girl I never meant to leave you lonely It was only in your mind Girl, I never meant to leave you lonely It was only a matter of time Something about a southern girl Make me feel right In a Mississippi morning She's an angel in flight In a blink of an eye She'll be out of your sight Something about a southern Something about a southern girl |

Saturday night and my head is spinning
I wonder whose heart I've been sinning for A cold rain blows on my window A soft scent gone from my pillow One more step that I've been takin' Yes and one more heart I don't need no more breakin' of The red lights how they all Burnin' down the highway I remember when the wind had blown my way But the wind blew down my line Yeah the wind blew down my line The man on the street Each day I'm passin' A small bite to eat Is all he's been askin' for Cold stares is all he's been yielding Oh and now I know that empty feeling Yeah the wind blew down my line Yeah the wind blew down my line Yeah the wind blew down my line |

I come from a long line of pain
My family suffered greatly for my gain And I think a lot about How my daddy died So I would not live without And his heart lives in my song Where the melody comes And just as quickly the melody is gone I'm back alone, far from home Now my mamma's on her own I try to call her and see her when I'm home And after all that she's been through All the doctors say: "There ain't nothing we can do" And her heart lives in my song Where the melody comes And just as quickly the melody is gone I'm back alone, far from home There's a bird outside my window Takes the song where he goes And he leaves it there Like a dead man's rocking chair And tonight I'm feeling lost and Headin' down the highway out to Boston I get the sense I might lose it I thank God tonight for the light I got in music 'Cause my heart lives in this song Where the melody comes And just as quickly, the melody is gone I'm back alone, far from home |
