Boys in the street beginning to play;
Girls like birds flying away
Today on the countryside it was a-hotter than a crotch
Oh what dear daughter 'neath the sun;
Would treat a father so,;
To wait upon him hand and foot;
And always tell him, "No"?
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,;
Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in.
Well, it's always been my nature to take chances;
My right hand drawing back while my left hand advances
Drinkin' man listens to the voice he hears;
In a crowded room full of covered up mirrors;
Lookin' into the lost forgotten years;
For dignity
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
Ring them bells, for the time that flies,;
For the child that cries;
When innocence dies.
Silver and gold;
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
Well it's way past midnight and there are people all around;
Some on their way up, some on their way down
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
My head tells me it's time to make a change;
But my heart is telling me I love ya but you're strange.
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed,;
I asked ya please to cross me off-a your list.
Oh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mind,;
I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung.
All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies
Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn't it?
I'm goin' down to Tennessee,;
Get me a truck 'r somethin'.;
Gonna save my money and rip it up!
If the bible is right, the world will explode
I been hangin’ on threads
I been playin’ it straight
Now, I’ve just got to cut loose
Before it gets late
When you think that you lost everything;
You find out you can always lose a little more
They got him on conspiracy, they were never sure who with.
It was then that I got up to leave;
But she said, "Don't forget,;
Everybody must give something back;
For something they get."
This is the key to the kingdom and this is the town;
This is the blind horse that leads you around
I'm going out of my mind;
With a pain that stops and starts
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go;
To the valley below
Well the desert is hot, the mountain is cursed,;
Pray that I don't die of thirst,;
Baby, two feet from the well.
All right, I'll take a chance, I will fall in love with you
