You could ride like Annie Oakley,; You could shoot like Belle Starr.
Behind every beautiful thing there's been some kind of pain
Won't you dance with me?; I'm fallin' in love with you.
May you always know the truth; And see the lights surrounding you.
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
How does it feel
And I'll tell it and think it and speak it and breathe it
You're the one I've been looking for,; You're the one that's got the key.; But I can't figure out whether I'm too good for you; Or you're too good for me.
I'm listening to Neil Young, I gotta turn up the sound; Someone's always yelling turn it down
We're idiots, babe.; It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
We pointed out the way to go; And scratched your name in sand,; Though you just thought it was nothing more; Than a place for you to stand.
Always on the outside of whatever side there was,; When they asked him why it had to be that way, "Well," he answered, "just because."
May you have a strong foundation; When the winds of changes shift
As the last fire truck from hell; Goes rolling by, all good people are praying
All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyes.
And they're breaking down the distance; Between right and wrong.
Forget the dead you've left, they will not follow you.
Your magnetic movements; Still capture the minutes I'm in.
Insanity is smashing up against my soul; You can say I was on anything but a roll; If I had a conscience, well I just might blow my top; What would I do with it anyway ; Maybe take it to the pawn shop
You will search, babe, At any cost.; But how long, babe, Can you search for what's not lost?
Well, the chances are against it and the odds are slim,; That he'll live by the rules that the world makes for him
Here is your throat back; Thanks for the loan
Most of the time; I can't even be sure; If she was ever with me; Or if I was with her.
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
If you're lookin' to get silly; You better go back to from where you came
There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them
Now, don't crowd me, lady; Or I'll fill up your shoe
Time is a jet plane, it moves too fast;
Oh, but what a shame if all we've shared can't last.
Somebody's got to find your trail,; I guess it must be up to me.
I couldn't see where we were goin'; But you said you knew an' I took your word
Well, I try my best; To be just like I am,; But everybody wants you; To be just like them.
I'll give you more gold; Than your apron can hold; If you'll only let your hair hang low
Go melt back into the night, babe,; Everything inside is made of stone.; There's nothing in here moving, An' anyway I'm not alone.
I want to thank You, Lord,; I just want to thank You, Lord,; Thank You, Lord.
I know all about poison, I know all about fiery darts,; I don't care how rough the road is, show me where it starts,; Whatever pleases You, tell it to my heart.
Down the highway, down the tracks, down the road to ecstasy,; I followed you beneath the stars, hounded by your memory,; And all your ragin' glory.
Someone else is speakin' with my mouth, but I'm listening only to my heart.
Try to be pure at heart, they arrest you for robbery,; Mistake your shyness for aloofness, your shyness for snobbery
Since every pleasure's got an edge of pain; Pay for your ticket and don't complain
Well, he can be fascinating, he can be dull,; He can ride down Niagara Falls in the barrels of your skull.
Our conversation was short and sweet; It nearly swept me off-a my feet.
My so-called friends have fallen under a spell.; They look me squarely in the eye and they say, "All is well."; Can they imagine the darkness that will fall from on high; When men will beg God to kill them and they won't be able to die?
But is your heart made out of stone, or is it lime; Or is it just solid rock?
Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy
Truth is an arrow and the gate is narrow that it passes through
Sooner or later, one of us must know; That I really did try to get close to you
I need a dump truck mama to unload my head
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
People are crazy and times are strange
I'd never say; That I done it the way; That you'd have liked me to.
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go; To the valley below
