What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this?

And then you told me later, as I apologized;
That you were just kiddin' me, you weren't really from the farm

Whatever you wanted;
Slipped out of my mind

The door has closed forevermore If indeed there ever was a door

Roses are red, violets are blue;
And time is beginning to crawl

I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray

They like to take all this money from sin, build big universities to study in;
Sing Amazing Grace all the way to the Swiss banks

Glamorous nymph with an arrow and bow

I'm in love with a woman who don't even appeal to me

Time passes slowly when you're searchin' for love.

I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too";
He said, "You're not Him"

If I ever lose her I will go insane;
I go half crazy when she calls my name

Well, I wake in the morning, Fold my hands and pray for rain.;
I got a head full of ideas, That are drivin' me insane.

Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties;
Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise

When the last rays of daylight go down;
Buddy, you'll roll no more;
I can hear the church bells ringing in the yard;
I wonder who they're ringing for

Today on the countryside it was a-hotter than a crotch

At dawn my lover comes to me;
And tells me of her dreams;
With no attempts to shovel the glimpse;
Into the ditch of what each one means

I've paid the price of solitude, but at last I'm out of debt.

I don't need no alibi when I'm spending time with you.;
I've heard all of them rumors and you have heard 'em too.

I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal

Nations are angry, cursed are some,;
People are expecting a false peace to come.

You can't get to glory by the raising and the lowering of no flag.;
Put your goodness next to God's and it comes out like a filthy rag.

Oh, the only decent thing I did when I worked as a postal clerk;
Was to haul your picture down off the wall near the cage where I used to work.;
Was I a fool or not to try to protect your identity?;
You looked a little burned out, my friend,;
I thought it might be up to me.

Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats,;
Blowing through the letters that we wrote.

At the corrida we'll sit in the shade;
And watch the young torero stand alone.;
We'll drink tequila where our grandfathers stayed;
When they rode with Villa into Torreon.

In your teardrops, I can see my own reflection

We never thought we could ever get old.;
We thought we could sit forever in fun

I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea;
Sometimes I turn, there's someone there, other times it's only me.

I got new eyes ;
Everything looks far away

The walls of pride are high and wide;
Can't see over to the other side;
It's such a sad thing to see beauty decay;
It's sadder still, to feel your heart torn away

Don't you know there's nothing new that's under the sun?;
Well, there ain't no man righteous, no not one.

Now, don't crowd me, lady;
Or I'll fill up your shoe

Hot chili peppers in the blistering sun

take me disappearin' through the smoke rings of my mind

People carry roses Make promises by the hours My love she laughs like the flowers Valentines can't buy her

And the words that are used;
For to get the ship confused;
Will not be understood as they're spoken.

I finally realize there's no room for regret

As his youth now unfolds;
He is centuries old;
Just to see him at play makes me smile;
No matter what happens to me;
No matter what my destiny;
Lord, protect my child

I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity

Not one more night, not one more kiss,;
Not this time baby, no more of this,;
Takes too much skill, takes too much will,;
It's revealing.

I feel nothing for their game where beauty goes unrecognized

Gon' walk on down until I'm right beside the sun;
I'm gonna have to put up a barrier to keep myself away from everyone.

Are you looking at me and thinking of somebody else?

Have I surrendered to the will of God;
Or am I still acting like the boss?

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

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.

I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind;
You could have done better but I don't mind;
You just kinda wasted my precious time

I'm goin' down to Tennessee,;
Get me a truck 'r somethin'.;
Gonna save my money and rip it up!

Just what do you think you have to guard?

But nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts

If you're looking for assistance, babe,;
Or if you just want some company;
Or if you just want a friend you can talk to,;
Honey, come and see about me.

Thought I'd shaken the wonder and the phantoms of my youth

People ask about you;
I didn't tell them everything I knew

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

I gotta go;
Find out something only dead men know

All he believes are his eyes, And his eyes, they just tell him lies

We grew up together;
From the cradle to the grave;
We died and were reborn;
And then mysteriously saved.
