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
Lot of water under the bridge, Lot of other stuff too; Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through
And, when I was through; I filled up my shoe; And brought it to you.
Oh a false clock tries to tick out my time
I've been down on the bottom of a world full of lies; I ain't looking for nothing in anyone's eyes
Turn your back, wash your hands,; There's always someone who understands
I still got my voice left, I can take it anywhere I go
Any day now, any day now,; I shall be released.
Heart of mine be still,; You can play with fire, But you'll get the bill
Lovin' you is the one thing I'll never regret.
Because something is happening here; But you don't know what it is; Do you, Mister Jones?
Well, he can be fascinating, he can be dull,; He can ride down Niagara Falls in the barrels of your skull.
You'd better do somethin' quick; She's your lover now.
But the enemy I see
Wears a cloak of decency
there are no sins inside the Gates of Eden
Something there is about you that brings back a long forgotten truth
All the tired horses in the sun; How'm I supposed to get any ridin' done? Hmm.
Won't you dance with me?; I'm fallin' in love with you.
I'm goin' down to Tennessee,; Get me a truck 'r somethin'.; Gonna save my money and rip it up!
Last night I danced with a stranger; But she just reminded me you were the one
Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood.; He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good.
It's too bright a light, he said, "For anybody's eyes,; If you've never seen one it's a blessing in disguise."
Don’t think twice, it’s all right
I've already ripped out the phones, honey.; You can't walk the streets in a war
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.
I gotta go; Find out something only dead men know
Every brain is civilized,; Every nerve is analyzed,; Everything is criticized when you are in need.
Have you got some unfinished business?; Is there something holding you back?; Are you thinking for yourself; Or are you following the pack?
I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen with you anywhere.
Some things last longer than you think they will; There are some kind of things you can never kill
I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring.
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.
Some things are too hot to touch; The human mind can only stand so much
I must admit I felt a little uneasy; When she bent down to tie the laces of my shoe
Go 'way from my window,; Leave at your own chosen speed.
The vagabond who's rapping at your door; Is standing in the clothes that you once wore.
The birds are flyin' low babe, honey I feel so exposed
I'll remember you; At the end of the trail,; I had so much left to do,; I had so little time to fail.
If you get close to her, kiss her once for me
One of these days and it won't be long; Going down in the valley and sing my song; I will sing it loud and sing it strong; Let the echo decide if I was right or wrong
It's so impossible to even learn the tune.
How long can I stay in this nowhere café
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
Junk is piling up, taking up space
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal.
She says, "What'll it be?"; I say, "I don't know, you got any soft boiled eggs?"
Twenty years of schoolin' and they put you on the day shift
Oh ev'ry foe that ever I faced
The cause was there before we came.
Your cracked country lips,; I still wish to kiss,; As to be under the strength of your skin.
I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place.
Now somebody's got to show their hand, time is an enemy
I couldn't see where we were goin'; But you said you knew an' I took your word
I've paid the price of solitude, but at last I'm out of debt.
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder
If God's on our side; He'll stop the next war.
I see people who are supposed to know better standin' around like furniture.
Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer; It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.
And the dirt of gossip blows into my face,; And the dust of rumors covers me.
