When I met you, baby,; You didn't show no visible scars.
There was music in the cafes at night; And revolution in the air.
You say my kisses are not like his,; But this time I'm not gonna tell you why that is.
Do you ever wonder just what God requires?; You think He's just an errand boy to satisfy your wandering desires.
May you have a strong foundation; When the winds of changes shift
You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you
Won't you come see me, Queen Jane?
I wasn't born to lose you.
Do you know where we're headin'?; Lincoln County Road or Armageddon?
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
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
Well my sense of humanity has gone down the drain
Lost time is not found again
What makes the wind wanna blow tonight?
What was it you wanted; When you were kissing my check?
Tell ev'rybody; Down in ol' 'Frisco; That Tiny Montgomery's comin'; Down to say Hello
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
Last night I danced with a stranger; But she just reminded me you were the one
Are you looking at me and thinking of somebody else?
I can smile in the face of mankind.; Don't even remember what her lips felt like on mine; Most of the time.
I just can't fit; Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
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.
For I know that you know that I know that you know; Something is tearing up your mind.
When we meet again; Introduced as friends; Please don't let on that you knew me when; I was hungry and it was your world.
I'll give you more gold; Than your apron can hold; If you'll only let your hair hang low
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."
It's too hot to sleep time is running away
Cities on fire, phones out of order
But is your heart made out of stone, or is it lime; Or is it just solid rock?
With haunted hearts through the heat and cold
We never thought we could ever get old
We never thought we could ever get old.; We thought we could sit forever in fun
I been to Sugar Town, I shook the sugar down
Now the rainman gave me two cures,; Then he said, "Jump right in."; The one was Texas medicine,; The other was just railroad gin.
Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
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 seen the kingdoms of the world and it's makin' me feel afraid.
Then I'll stand on the ocean until I start sinkin',; But I'll know my song well before I start singin'
For all eternity I think I will remember; That icy wind that's howling in your eye.
I'm going out of my mind; With a pain that stops and starts
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
Don't follow leaders; Watch the parkin' meters
Won't you dance with me?; I'm fallin' in love with you.
Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road
An' here I sit so patiently; Waiting to find out what price; You have to pay to get out of; Going through all these things twice.
Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take; To find dignity
Talk about perfection, I ain't never seen none
What kind of sign they need when it all come from within
Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm.
Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues; You can tell by the way she smiles
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.
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go; To the valley below
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail,; Poisoned in the bushes an' blown out on the trail,; Hunted like a crocodile, ravaged in the corn.
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
How did I meet you? I don't know.
It's mighty funny; the end of time has just begun
Leaving men wholly, totally free; To do anything they wish to do but die
You'd better do somethin' quick; She's your lover now.
Oh, ev'ry thought that's strung a knot in my mind,; I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung.
