Steady Rolling Man 03:49
lyrics

Steady Rolling Man I've been a steady rolling man The blues ain't got a hold on me I've been a steady rolling man The blues ain't got a hold on me As soon as you let me marry you I'm gonna let you marry me I've been a steady rolling man The blues ain't got a hold on me. I don't lose sleep over any girl again I don't lose sleep over any girl again Because they don't lose no sleep over them losing sleep over them I don't lose no sleep over no girl again Soon I'm gone to a little lonesome living and die No sweet young mama serenading me by my side No sugar in my love shack but there's freedom out the door No sugar in my love shack but there's freedom out the door Feeling sad and so blue but what's all your crying for? No sugar in the love shack but there's some freedom out the door. I've been a steady rolling man the blues ain't got a hold on me.

Nothing Left In Pretty Songs 03:07
lyrics

Nothing Left In Pretty Songs I foretold the day when bombs rained down and lives were torn around the town and mothers, children wept in the bleeding rain and men in bits called hell by name and the suits and the ties were scattered around I remembered dreaming hearing sounds I dreamed the world was going on and there was nothing left in pretty songs. I saw collapse and hell and death and everywhere men stole where they went and women used and tossed behind and memory banks being robbed blind and the old left to shudder in the gloom while their eyes that cried were hollow tombs I dreamed the world was going on and there was nothing left in pretty songs. And paintings of art were burned away and visionaries preached in the streets all day while the cults sprang up like smoke and flames and they took their turns taking names and everything changed that day it seemed nothing stopped when no one screamed I dreamed the world was going wrong and there was nothing left in pretty songs.

Mustard Soup I want to eat your cookies I want to eat your cookies I want to eat your cookies and sip a little milk too. I want to swallow your biscuits I want to swallow your biscuits I want to swallow your biscuits and chew a little chocolate too Some people seem to wonder why I'm always by your side But if they could have taste buds like me they all would open wide Oh I want to try your gravy I want to try your gravy I want to try your gravy and have your mashed potatoes too (12 string guitar solo) I don't want your sour cream, baby I don't want your sour cream, baby I don't want your sour cream, baby or your mustard soup I just want all your lovin I want all your lovin I want all your lovin No more mustard soup Some people seem to wonder why I'm always by your side But if they could have taste buds like me they all would open wide I want to eat your cookies I want to eat your cookies I want to eat your cookies no more mustard soup.

I'm Taking You Home Come on girl we gotta get going We'll be late for the high school dance I talked to Carver man and he ain't showing He don't even give the girls a chance We can go and find another party There's nothing saying that we have to stay We can get all the cool people together But they don't matter now anyway yeah yeah (Chorus) I'm looking at you because I know we're all alone Now I'm ready for asking you what it is I know I don't need to know no fancy dancing or pussy whipped sweet romancing I'm gonna get my once last chance again I'm taking you home yeah Rock N' Roll! No use you looking for a garden party No use looking for the valentine No use making like a little "red" smartie you can be discovered near the exit sign Take a load off anywhere you want it doesn't matter what you wear or say If you're looking for love I won't make you get on with it I'm not looking no more anyway (Chorus)

Five O'Clock Sundown 05:51

Five O'Clock Sundown I'm wondering now angels what am I to do? I'm wondering now angels what am I to do? I'm wondering now angels what am I to do? Because I can't seem to be happy on my own. I've got nobody who loves me no family or home I've got nobody who loves me no family or home I've got nobody who loves me no family or home and I can't seem to be happy on my own I got no money to dream with no heart in my soul I got no money to dream with no heart in my soul I got no money to dream with no heart in my soul and I can't seem to be happy on my own. (Chorus) Five O'Clock sundown feels like a night of rain When you're rundown and swimming near the drain and I'm wondering now angels what am I bound to do because I can't seem to be happy on my own I wandered and roamed to the mighty clouds of joy I wander and I roam to the mighty clouds of joy I wandered and roamed to the mighty clouds of joy Now I just can't seem to be happy on my own Because everyone that I met was just fond of their own game Everybody I met was just fond of their own game Everybody I met was just fond of their own game Now I just can't seem to be happy on my own (Chorus) Five O'Clock sundown feels like a night of rain When you're rundown and swimming near the drain Pay my dues until I don't gonna make them woo until they won't and I just ain't gonna be happy on my own Yes you journey to the top and you feel so cold deep down Journey to the top and feel so cold deep down Journey to the top and feel so cold deep down and you just can't seem to be happy on your own Had a dream that the people were helped to be freed Had a dream the people were helped to be freed Had a dream that them people were helped to be freed because they just can't seem to be happy on their own. I'm wondering now angels what am I to do? I'm wondering now angels what am I going to do? I'm wondering now angels what am I gonna do? Because I can't seem to be happy on my own. Because I can't seem to be happy on my own.

Sleep Through Your Wake Up Call 02:37

Sleep Through Your Wake Up Call Well I'm toking and poking and smoking and drinking and rocking and I'm on the ball Every morning I'm waking up late and now I'm sleeping through my wake up call What's a fellow supposed to do between me and you? It's fun to be caught in a vice But my mom and papa are long gone now back in the day they gave me some good advice (Chorus) They said sleep through your wake up call my son sleep through your wake up call If you gonna do it live it with all your heart even if you're gonna need a caffeinated jump start when you're living up to 40 and 45 party just because you're glad to still be alive they make this stuff so we can have a good time so take another haul and sleep through your wake up call I had a friend who would party with me and I watched him get as big as an ape when he hit 360 he was in all directions and shaking up the cityscape well he let out a stutter and he let out a roar never a night where he'd sit and be a bore he was fun while around but he ain't no more I can still hear his hangover snore (Chorus) Well I went out to a BBQ and I figured I'd eat 5 steaks 5 diet cokes and a mickey of rum and have a banana split after a break I was home the next day feeling kind of down wondering why my heart was pounding and I couldn't slow it down It tastes so good and there was enough to go around and now I think I hear a ringing sound. (Chorus)

Baby, I Could Love Your Loving 03:39
lyrics

Baby, I Could Love Your Loving If you could love my dream then baby I could love your loving I know there's nothing that I've seen that would be worth me even telling but there's a dawn and a fear and a stranger to meet for every lone martyr lost in a belief and a new love for every love unfound Listen to the wind cry it's song Don't it make you want to sing along? Please throw any justice we find into the cracks of this broken law When I'm with you searching out in the wind we'll stagger our way through the veils of mist using wisdom by word of mouth I ain't no victim of myself but forsaken I weep For I gave all it takes to stand alone with only a dream but now I fear I've worked so hard for all of the love I wish to discard someway someday somehow If you could love my dream then baby I could love your loving I know there's nothing that I've seen that would be worth me even telling but there's a dawn and a fear and a stranger to meet for every lone martyr lost in a belief and a new love for every love unfound.

The Wide Open Door 04:07
lyrics

The Wide Open Door We can't do all the things that we want We can't be right all the time We're working towards that old fashioned salvation and always on the wrong side of the line. Waiting for the magic to happen for the right time or mood to come around Action can rhyme with reaction And there ain't a good tune around Well there ain't a good tune around (Chorus) So here's to you my sweet Dallas, Texas Here's to you my star spangled mistress Here's to the dreamer I fell through the floor for Here's to the wide open door Here's to the wide open door Some say treat her like when you first met her And she'll always love you back Some say the river of sorrows will connect you and keep your old heart on the track looking to see who will give in and walk to the end of the line we're looking for a sign to be turning to tell us it's closing time to tell us it's closing time (Chorus) Solo (Chorus)

The Pain She Keeps 02:29

The Pain She Keeps The pain she keeps inside is the pain she keeps she holds it dear to her it's only skin deep and this is how we live our lives this is how we live our lives. She knows how to let go of this pain that she holds I have her walk a lonely mile and she comes smiling home this is how we live our lives this is how we live our lives She feels I've let her down I'll never let her drown me in her tears she comes near and I run away I'm going to give it a try keep the pain that she keeps and if it hurts me I don't mind 'cause it's only skin deep this is how we live our lives this is how we live our lives.

She Loves Me Bright sunshine chasing after me Me and my baby walking through the scenery Every single day keeps getting more bright We're growing our hair and staying wild (Chorus) Well she makes me smile she brings me peace The child's not gonna let me down every time she's hanging around she loves me We can love each other whenever we want Dance in the moonlight after the sun is gone Every single day she makes it worthwhile Holding my faith in staying wild (Chorus x2) (Bridge) Every single day she keeps me hanging on All I do is pray That if I'm ever gone I'm never gone too long (Chorus)

Somewhere Is Hard To Find 04:05
lyrics

Somewhere Is Hard To Find The beggars and the thieves who were littered on this street ain't here no more The sinful on their knees have been forgiven and they pray no more Like a ship without a sail some are forced to give in to drifting but that won't go down in my book as the life I loved to live before we had to part our love was partial to roam and now I find I'm leading somewhere too far from home and somewhere is hard to find. Every stranger turning around and gazing at my out of town face As I think about little Annie I hope she's already found her place I fell into escaping my foundations were forsaken like the tide without the moon I am lost for I was free because once we had to part there was no justice in my heart and now I find I'm leading somewhere too far from home and somewhere is hard to find. (Bridge) I drifted back to somewhere there was no place left there to be Existing with my failure I placed a belief into my dream Like a ship without a sail some are forced to give in to drifting but that won't go down in my book as the life I loved to live before we had to part our love was partial to roam and now I find I'm leading somewhere too far from home and somewhere is hard to find.
