If dogs run free, why not me;
Across the swamp of time?
May you have a strong foundation;
When the winds of changes shift
What was it you wanted;
When you were kissing my check?
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
We grew up together;
From the cradle to the grave;
We died and were reborn;
And then mysteriously saved.
I'm just sitting here beating on my trumpet
'Twas then that I knew what he had on his mind.
Everybody's wearing a disguise;
To hide what they've got left behind their eyes
I still can remember the way that you smiled
She got a weird sense of humor that's all her own
Well, the road is rocky and the hillside's mud;
Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood
If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born
Oh, some of us'll end up;
In St. Cloud Prison,;
And some of us'll wind up, To be lawyers and things
Wiggle 'til you're high, wiggle 'til you're higher,;
Wiggle 'til you vomit fire
Can't you hear that motor turnin'?;
Automobile comin' into style
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyes.
I've been hit too hard, I've seen too much;
Nothing can heal me now, but your touch
I could say that I'd be faithful, I could say it in one sweet, easy breath;
But to you that would be cruelty and to me it surely would be death.
Searching for my double, looking for;
Complete evaporation to the core
Now the rainman gave me two cures,;
Then he said, "Jump right in.";
The one was Texas medicine,;
The other was just railroad gin.
Now the moon is almost hidden;
The stars are beginning to hide;
The fortunetelling lady;
Has even taken all her things inside
I don't mind a reasonable amount of trouble
I see nothing to be gained by any explanation;
There are no words that need to be said
I stood unwound beneath the skies;
And clouds unbound by laws.
The night passed away so quickly;
It always does when you're with me.
We never thought we could ever get old.;
We thought we could sit forever in fun
Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,;
You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days.
Soon as a man is born, you know the sparks begin to fly, He gets wise in his own eyes and he's made to believe a lie.
