Now, a very great man once said; That some people rob you with a fountain pen.; It didn't take too long to find out; Just what he was talkin' about.
Three fellas crawlin' on their way back to work,; Nobody stops to ask why.
My love she speaks like silence
You should be made; To wear earphones
How long can I stay drunk on fear out in the wilderness?
They tell me revenge is sweet and from where they stand, I'm sure it is.
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
He looks so truthful, is this how he feels; Trying to peel the moon and expose it
My heart's in the Highlands at the break of dawn; By the beautiful lake of the Black Swan; Big white clouds, like chariots that swing down low; Well my heart's in the Highlands; Only place left to go
as long as the world keeps a-turnin', I just keep a-turnin' too.
It was true that in his later years he would not carry a gun; "I'm around too many children," he'd say, "they should never know of one."
The sky is trembling, And I must leave.
Well my house is on fire, burning to the sky
I don't want to fake you out
If the bible is right, the world will explode
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
Well, the road is rocky and the hillside's mud; Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood
I hate myself for lovin' you and the weakness that it showed; You were just a painted face on a trip down Suicide Road
She's a hypnotist collector
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies; I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
I need a dump truck mama to unload my head
If God's on our side; He'll stop the next war.
Either I'm too sensitive or else I'm gettin' soft.
Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody
Handy dandy, he got a basket of flowers and a bag full or sorrow
But when Quinn the Eskimo gets here,; All the pigeons gonna run to him.
Love is so simple, to quote a phrase,; You've known it all the time, I'm learnin' it these days.
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
When I'm all alone; In the great unknown,; I'll remember you.
They'll stone you when you're playing your guitar.
Ain't complaining 'bout what I got; Seen better times, but who has not?
Oh my name it is nothin'; My age it means less
Turn your back, wash your hands,; There's always someone who understands
Can't you hear that motor turnin'?; Automobile comin' into style
People are crazy and times are strange
Maybe they'll get me and maybe they won't; But not tonight and it won't be here; There are things I could say but I don't; I know the mercy of God must be near
Look into infinity, all you see is trouble.
Now, I can't go back to what was, baby,; I can't unring the bell.
Every brain is civilized,; Every nerve is analyzed,; Everything is criticized when you are in need.
She once was a true love of mine
I wish that for just one time; You could stand inside my shoes; You'd know what a drag it is; To see you
You speak to me; In sign language; As I'm eating a sandwich
So take heed, take heed of the western wind
I can tell you fancy, I can tell you plain; You give something up for everything you gain
When there is no more,; You cut to the core; Quicker than anyone I knew.
She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart.
When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious
The country music station plays soft; but there's nothing, really nothing, to turn off
You were snow, you were rain; You were striped, you were plain,;
Well I don't dare close my eyes and I don't dare wink; Maybe in the next life I'll be able to hear myself think
All the laughter is just making me sad
People disagreeing everywhere you look,; Makes you wanna stop and read a book.
I just want you to know; I can see through your masks
They say ev'rything can be replaced
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
Tell her she can look me up if she's got the time.
He got an all girl orchestra and when he says; "Strike up the band," they hit it
