Nothing But Time
Those horseback riders approaching
Sillhouetted by the western sky
have broken a law or two, boys
but they've got nothing but time
before their memory plunged into darkness
and their conscience drenched to the bone
they had suffered a lot from their innocence
before they let their bad side show
(chorus)
It takes a man to show a man
how much love he's already lost
before they fight each other
for a girl who wants to call it off x2
Those horseback riders approaching
Sillhouetted by the eastern sky
stands a man with a tale or two
but he's gained something in time
before his memory plunged into darkness
and his conscience drenched to the bone
he'd suffered a lot from his suffering
before he let his bad side show

I Disown The World

I Disown The World
I got so sick of looking
at all the mind fucking.
People using each other
if they're good for something.
The world full of sheep and villians
and no one even aware
in a world of constant lunacy
stripping the coal mine bare.
(chorus)
I disown the world I inhabit
I disown the world
there's no place for me in this concrete
there's only wisdom in pearls
and the pearls in this ocean
have given me the notion
to disown the world.
The streets are full of cheaters
Liars who made the "suit"
Look at how far they've come
when you go take away their loot.
And a friend in need is a friend indeed
'til the going is good
Oh yeah, stripping the coal mine bare.
(chorus)

Set Me Free
I've broken you before, love
and I'm nice to love
when the skies are dark
oh yeah
but in my time
all in my time
I will run
I will be gone.
(chorus)
Set me free, oh yeah
Set me free
I know you've suffered on account of me
Set me free, oh yeah
Set me free
There's no need to suffer, baby,
on account of me.
Foolish pride
and foolish games
we aim to please
in good God's name
but in my time
oh, in my time
I will run
I will be gone.
(chorus)

Baby, I'm Moving On
I can't stick around with you no more
(chorus) Baby, I'm moving on
I can't tie you down to no loverboy chase
'cause you know I ain't coming back
I met her in the station
she dropped her diamond ring
I went to pick it up for her
but she didn't even care a thing
(chorus)
She told me she was leaving Jim
It was goodbye for good
somehow, baby, your name wasn't mentioned
baby, it's understood
(chorus)
She said she needed someone
who was a lonely man
I told her baby you could take me places
you know no other girl can
(chorus)

The Hobo Song
Sundown on the park
strolling through the city dark
I saw a local hobo on the bench
his beard his only souvenir of neglect to find his pocket mirror
his clothes were ripped and torn and full of stench
But something in his eyes told me
something went strange
something told me he was going home
(chorus) - now he's always flying high on that big old ship in the sky
flying to the heaven he don't know
I wonder if you passed him by and heard him say he was going to die
if he didn't get a dollar for the show.
he played a beat up lap guitar and he never made it very far
people laughed while he played for his meals
today I see his guitar gone - something he would never pawn
I wonder if that thief got a good deal
something in his eyes told me something had gone strange
something told me not to pass him by
(chorus)
Today I see him lying there in the park that never cared
who could care when they're too scared to know?
I called the ambulance it's true it wasn't really hard to do
I went somewhere nobody would dare to go
Because something in his eyes told me something had gone strange
something told me not to pass him by
(chorus)

Someday I’ll Be The Boy
(D)She came and took him from his (A)heart (Em) and made him (G)see him with his (D) soul
Took him far away from (A)hurt (Em) and taught the (G) boy to rock and (A)roll
Maybe someday she will (G) see she should have done those things for (D) me
And someday I’ll be the (A) boy (Em) who will (G) fill her days with (D) joy CGD
He mistreats her and (A) dislikes her (Em) deep down (G)inside he isn’t (D)sure
He knows not what he (A)wants but he takes what he’s (Em) got
As a sign that there’s no (A)more
But what he doesn’t know won’t (G)hurt him but it will hurt her just the (D) same
Hanging onto something (Em) tarnished (G)as long as he can get his (D)way CGD
It’s time they see where things are (A) going
(Em)They’ve never (G)seen where it’s (D)been
Happy couples strolling (A) by (Em) have never (G) taught her dreams to (A) swim
She’ll watch him have his cup of (G) coffee and wonder deep down why she (D) hides
The man is sinister she (A) worries
(Em) Deep (G) alone at night she (D) cries CGD
(D)She came and took him from his (A)heart (Em) and made him (G)see him with his (D) soul
Took him far away from (A)hurt (Em) and taught the (G) boy to rock and (A)roll
Maybe someday she will (G) see she should have done those things for (D) me
And someday I’ll be the (A) boy (Em) who will (G) fill her days with (D) joy CGD

Don't You Leave Me Darling
I'd give you all my money
you could dress up like a queen
I'd give you all my money
and you could dress up like a queen
Don't you leave me darling
Don't you leave me darling
Don't you leave me darling
the grass is looking green to me.
You want some other loving ain't no way I could treat you kind
You want some other loving ain't no way I could treat you kind
Don't you leave me darling
Don't you leave me darling
Don't you leave me darling
You always on my mind
Nobody knows you nobody knows you like I do
Nobody knows you nobody knows you like I do
Don't you leave me darling
Don't you leave me darling
Don't you leave me darling
Nobody knows you nobody knows you like I do
Yeah I look at another woman and I get the third degree
Well now I look at another woman and I get the third degree
Don't you leave me darling
Don't you leave me darling
Don't you leave me darling
You always home with me
I'd give you all my money

Don't you leave me darling
Don't you leave me darling

The King Of Broken Hearts
I'm just the king of broken hearts
Seems it's up to me to play this game
Everywhere I go
I take another blow
Someday I hope to break this endless chain.
Nothing seems to matter with the women.
After all this time my dreams are rare.
I'll walk away again 'cause no one is watching
another broken heart laid bare.
(chorus)
I wish someone would find me a tarnished angel
someone to save me from my pitch black dreams.
Someone to share the pain of a brokenhearted shame
someone to take hells torch away from me.
I tried to drink white lightning but it was black thunder
Rum made me a bum out on the land
Hooting like an owl I was on the midnight prowl
looking for a song to play my band
soon I was tangled with another
her hair so long and shaggy I was caught
Now I find no solace in a lover
It hurts too much for lessons to be taught.
(chorus x2)

I'm Seeing You And The Rest Of The World
They say that in true love
there's never hard times
I come home late at night
and all you do is whine
I can say that it's over, so long
but my loving you
has never done you wrong
don't you wonder
why I'm gone.
(chorus)
'Cause I'm seeing you and the rest of the world
I'm seeing you and the rest of the world
there's more to life than a boy and a girl
I'm seeing you and the rest of the world.
Sun came down on a night on the town
I asked you along but you didn't stick around
it's my business what I do ain't no crime
I try to tell you but you don't give me time
and the words don't even rhyme.
(chorus)
They say that in true love
there's never hard times
I come home late from drinking
and all you do is whine
I can say that it's over, so long
but my loving you
has never done you wrong
don't you wonder
why I'm gone.
(chorus)

Nothing To Lose But The Blues
I want to sing until the blues come out no more
a song that nobody can ignore
we used to rock and roll -we used to get along
you made my life into some old country song.
I tried to love but trying never wins
the more you want seems the less you gonna get
so keep the hard times coming - I'm paying all my dues
and I've got nothing to lose but the blues
I want to lose the blues that nobody can find
i'm sadhearted and losing all the time
I had a lot to laugh about but now the joke's on me
yesterday made a big fool out of me.
tomorrow's bound to be another day
another layer to cover up the wound.
if I could only build me a time machine
that machine would have steered clear of you.
Now your pride is sinking so fast -
and your happy faces make my sad face last
so keep the hard times coming - I'm paying all my dues
and now I've got nothing to lose but the blues.

We Could Be Together
If I saw a sin in this world
then you'd not be one sinning
If I felt a stone being thrown
Then you'd not be one throwing
Chorus - WE could be together in a karma carnival - everything is you and me
If I weren't a loner than I would be alone
I could rent your acquaintence and tie you to my throne
Chorus
If we weren't too deserts
we would be the rain
and rain can not make glass
to hide behind window panes.
Chorus x 2

I'm Gonna Have To Be Strong
I'm gonna have to be strong
the moon and stars direct me to your eyes
every night I'll have to say goodbye
to the heartache and shine
knowing your smile
I'm gonna have to be strong.
I'm gonna have to be strong
knowing all the changes life can bring
the tears in me
seeing you leaving
the love
shining brighter than the sun
I'm gonna have to be strong.
Nowhere have I found this
I've come a million miles
I've fought a losing battle
and I've walked a million aisles
you will find me resting
behind all these tears I cry
knowing you're so far away
but I hold you close inside
I have to be strong
I have to be strong
I have to be strong
I have to be strong
I have to be strong
I have to be strong
I have to be strong
I'm gonna have to be strong
the moon and stars direct me to your eyes
every night I'll have to say goodbye
to the heartache and shine
knowing your smile
I'm gonna have to be strong.

Beggar, Beggar

Beggar, Beggar
Beggar, Beggar life for me
is streets and death behind my dreams
I shall not love my fear of God
I shall not steal I shall not eat.
Beggar, Beggar helpless few
distant hope destroyed by truth
my fellow man prays to a God
I thought I knew.
(chorus)
Shoulder, shoulder leave my head
leave me feeling starlight cold
I have no gold to save my soul
no desire for the news
Stranger, Stranger keep my bed
do not write laws to steal my bags
do what you do
ignore the truth
I am your friend behind these rags.
Doctor, Doctor heal the rich
keep them from the fate of me
let us roll into the ditch
let us feel this earth's disease.
(chorus)

The Leader Nobody Followed
(Chorus)
She was the leader nobody followed
the one misunderstood
She shared so much of herself for the
sake of sisterhood
and the world told her to quiet down
and leave herself behind
to be unique like all the rest
if she wouldn't mind.
So she shot herself in cold blood
early Thursday morning
the world was shaken sadly
and spent a year in cold mourning
They never read her books
They never sang her songs
They only wondered why she died
and what did she do wrong.
(Chorus)
She spent her whole life working
on a vision no one got
People liked her colleagues so much more
They got jobs on the spot
She watched everyone get famous
They'd shake their heads and say
She's the leader nobody follows
and maybe she'll change someday!
(Chorus)

Pretty Pair Of Glasses
We were wild at heart
escape the breeze
run like the wind
In the land of the dark
we were set apart and forced to give in
Even though I haven't seen you for many days
the painted picture in my mind will never chip away.
(chorus)
You've got long hair, nice eyes, a great smile and that pretty pair of glasses x2
Those heartbreaking people who faint at the sight of blood
don't know much about living a life of love
I know better days are yet to come around
next time I see you on old fashioned ground
you've got (chorus)
Times get rough when you're in love
sister used to call love a dumb thing
I can't say I know it much
'cause I just call it too much of something
Well now lonely times have got me now
remembering things we used to say
but I've been in the past too long
I'm starting to forget about today
I'm not trying to forget memories that taunt
as much as the memories that come back to haunt.
(chorus)
