I wake in the morning
Out of my mind And I used to live for That morning sunshine Now I hide in the darkness It's all I can do 'Til I Get My Lovin' Back My lovin' back from you I can't go out walking I can't go to sleep And I can't stop thinking 'Bout the promise I keep I won't love another If it's the last thing I do 'Til I Get My Lovin' Back My lovin' back from you My friends are so wrong When they say just go on And I said where to and what for They don't understand I'm a shell of a man With no love to give anymore 'Till hell freezes over 'Till heaven skates by 'Till heartaches stops hurting In the blink of an eye 'Till these teardrops I'm crying Turn to sweet morning dew 'Til I Get My Lovin' Back My lovin' back from you 'Til I Get My Lovin' Back My lovin' back from you |

Well, she come around here, in her '65 dress
With her eyes stuck open and her head in a mess With her head screaming 'no' and her heart saying 'yes' And I love that girl [Chorus:] It was back in that house full of drunkards and thieves When she first saw me rising up off of my knees And she said do you think you could show me that please And I love that girl Well, I love that girl And I love that girl Well, I love that girl Well, I love that girl We'd been left by the road in the back of the night We'd been stranded by dreams in then shot full of moonlight They took us downtown and they read us our rights And I love that girl So we married and said that we never would part And there hasn't been even one small change of heart If it ended all now, I wouldn't know where to start And I love that girl [Chorus] You lose it all then you're ascending Into a love that's never ending Now they're boilin' the oil on the bridge at the gates The king's men in the castle they're lying in wait} She says now is the time that we must not hesitate And I love that girl And she wakes me with coffee and kisses my head And starts to explain about something she's read I say darling, you haven't heard a word that I've said And I love that girl [Chorus] I know, I know I love that girl... |

The streets are all empty, the network's deveined
Buildings walled up, electricity drained Shots in the square where they mowed them all down The river runs red from the center of town I worked for my daddy, he worked for his paw Till they came from the city and they took what they saw We rented back land and we worked what we could But they built and the stripped it 'till it wasn't no good [Chorus:] And I know I, yes I know I Gotta hold on, hold on for your love Out in the woods, my old truck is on fire Burning the last drops of my enormous desire Men eating men and there's no time for crying For I'm tired of the blood and I'm sick of the dying [Chorus] Burn down the cabin and put out the stars Tear up the fields and leave everything scarred I've been here before, but I don't know this place I've been here with you, but I can't see your face [Chorus] |

I've been riding on this train
Drinking whiskey for the pain Just another good old boy going home And every town I see, seems to take a part of me That's a price that you pay when you roam And I lie when I have to And I cry when I can But I die a little slower On the train to Birmingham I got holes in both my shoes And a guitar full of blues A one-way ticket for a remedy It's the same old lonesome song I've been singing all night long Hey porter, are we out of Tennessee And I cry when I have to And I lie when I can But I die a little slower On the train to Birmingham Every year I ride this train To Alabama in the rain When I get that lonesome feeling in my bones But I never get to Birmingham But getting there is not the plan No, I just like the feel of going home And I lie when I have to And I cry when I can But I die a little slower On the train to Birmingham But I die a little slower On the train to Birmingham |

Smoky room and a thin blue light
Her arms were pale as white Trying to outlast the night Howling at the moon Living in the Canyon Inn Hangdown hanna and whiskey jim Dirty jeans and mudslide hymns It all began with soon So, adios to California Nothing to do but turn around Always thought there's someone coming for you Only way you'd leave this town Pasadena in the rain, eating donuts and reading Twain How much longer can my brain set itself on fire You said that's it for me Have a little faith, it might set you free But your faith's no good, you see For me and my desire So, adios to California Nothing to do but turn around Always thought there's someone coming for you Only way you'd leave this town Two cigarettes from a package gone You must have thought about it just that long I never knew you were so strong I guess I never will So, adios to California Nothing to do but turn around Always knew there's someone coming for you Only way you'd leave this town Only way you'd leave this town |

On that fiery day, when the
towers gave way New York had her heart broke, New York had her heart broke Many heroes died, trying to save someone inside When New York had her heart broke, New York had her heart broke And I was there that day, and I don't know what to say Except New York had her heart broke, New York had her heart broke And the daylight felt dark, F-16's over Central Park When New York had her heart broke We were dazed in the streets, from the blood and dust and heat When New York had her heart broke, New York had her heart broke And the world changed that day, forever some will say When New York had her heart broke In a million years, she couldn't cry more tears New York had her heart broke, New York had her heart broke Ah, but she will rise again. |
