She was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of Hearts
The vagabond who's rapping at your door; Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
While my conscience explodes; The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
And, when I was through; I filled up my shoe; And brought it to you.
When I'm all alone; In the great unknown,; I'll remember you.
The party's over, and there's less and less to say
I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
Well, it's always been my nature to take chances; My right hand drawing back while my left hand advances
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.
Goodnight, my love, may the lord have mercy on us all.
Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret.
Louise, she's all right, she's just near; She's delicate and seems like the mirror; But she just makes it all too concise and too clear; That Johanna's not here
You've gone to the finest school all right, Miss Lonely
You lose yourself, you reappear
Can you tell me what we're waiting for, senor?
There's no one here, the gardener is gone
I still can remember the way that you smiled
But is your heart made out of stone, or is it lime; Or is it just solid rock?
Shine your light, shine your light on me; Ya know I just couldn't make it by myself.; I'm a little too blind to see
My conscience is beginning to bother me today.
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
Let's try to get beneath the surface waste, girl,; No more booby traps and bombs,; No more decadence and charm,; No more affection that's misplaced, girl
In the home of the brave, Jefferson turnin' over in his grave
You will search, babe, At any cost.; But how long, babe, Can you search for what's not lost?
Wallflower, wallflower; Take a chance on me.; Please let me ride you home.
I'll see you later when I'm not so out of my head,; Maybe next time I'll let the dead bury the dead.
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
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
You know, news of you has come down the line; Even before ya came in the door.; They say in your father's house, there's many mansions; Each one of them got a fireproof floor.
she's true, like ice, like fire
We stare straight ahead and try so hard to stay right
I can't help it if I'm lucky.
Shall I hold you close?; Or Shall I let you go by?; Tell me.; Tell me.
And I, I don't mind the pain; Don't mind the driving rain; I know I will sustain; 'Cause I believe in you.
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense.; Take what you have gathered from coincidence.
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
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously; But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
The drinks are ready and the dogs are going to war
There's some people that; You don't forget,; Even though you've only seen'm; One time or two.
I've gained some recognition but I lost my appetite.
Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift
People disagreeing everywhere you look,; Makes you wanna stop and read a book.
What good am I if I know and don't do,; I If I see and don't say, if I look right through you
Can't you hear that motor turnin'?; Automobile comin' into style
All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyes.
And every one of them words rang true; And glowed like burnin' coal; Pourin' off of every page; Like it was written in my soul from me to you
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.
Everybody is making love
Or else expecting rain
You breathed on me and made my life a richer one to live,; When I was deep in poverty you taught me how to give
You think you can hide but you're never alone,; Ask Lot what he thought when his wife turned to stone.
But the magician is quicker and his game; Is much thicker than blood and blacker than ink
to live outside the law, you must be honest
Won't you come with me, baby?; I'll take you where you wanna go.; And if it don't work out, You'll be the first to know
The country music station plays soft; but there's nothing, really nothing, to turn off
Look into infinity, all you see is trouble.
Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood.; He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good.
as long as the world keeps a-turnin', I just keep a-turnin' too.
They'll stone ya when you're at the breakfast table.
I'm goin' down to Tennessee,; Get me a truck 'r somethin'.; Gonna save my money and rip it up!
