What was it you wanted;
When you were kissing my check?
They say ev'rything can be replaced
I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
We always did feel the same,;
We just saw it from a different point of view
Gon' walk on down that dirt road 'til I'm right beside the sun
Well my nerves are exploding and my body's tense;
I feel like the whole world got me pinned up against the fence
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."
I don't want to fake you out
I'll give you more gold;
Than your apron can hold;
If you'll only let your hair hang low
Everybody must get stoned.
I believe in the impossible, you know that I do
you remind me of something that used to be;
somethin' that crossed over from another century
I can still hear the sounds of those Methodist bells;
I'd taken the cure and had just gotten through
Will I ever learn that there'll be no peace, that the war won't cease;
Until He returns?
Your temperature's too hot for taming
When He rose from the dead, did they believe?
When you know as well as me;
You'd rather see me paralyzed
I'm already there in my mind;
And that's good enough for now
Somebody's got to find your trail,;
I guess it must be up to me.
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.
That's how it is when things disintegrate
Does she know I still care?
Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift
Do you know where we're headin'?;
Lincoln County Road or Armageddon?
We're both just one too many mornings;
An' a thousand miles behind.
Because something is happening here;
But you don't know what it is;
Do you, Mister Jones?
He said his name was Columbus;
I just said, "Good luck."
I've still got the scars that the sun didn't heal
I'll let you be in my dreams if I can be in yours
When he died I was hopin' that it wasn't contagious
All I feel is heat and flame and all I see are dark eyes.
There's some people that;
You don't forget,;
Even though you've only seen'm;
One time or two.
I must admit I felt a little uneasy;
When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
Tell her she can look me up if she's got the time.
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
Well, I don't have to be no doctor, babe,;
To see that you're madly in love.
She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart.
And they're breaking down the distance;
Between right and wrong.
Your cracked country lips,;
I still wish to kiss,;
As to be under the strength of your skin.
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
The drinks are ready and the dogs are going to war
Oh my name it is nothin';
My age it means less
You'd better do somethin' quick;
She's your lover now.
No knife could ever cut our love apart
Mama, take this badge off of me
My love for her is taking such a long time to die
The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
Well, I try my best;
To be just like I am,;
But everybody wants you;
To be just like them.
Did I miss the mark or;
Over-step the line;
That only you could see?
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.
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
And you, you took me in,;
You loved me then;
You didn't waste time.
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.
Shall I hold you close?;
Or Shall I let you go by?;
Tell me.;
Tell me.
as long as the world keeps a-turnin', I just keep a-turnin' too.
The way is long but the end is near, Already the fiesta has begun
You speak to me;
In sign language;
As I'm eating a sandwich
I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door.
