Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand,; And rivers that ran through ev'ry day.
I can smile in the face of mankind.; Don't even remember what her lips felt like on mine; Most of the time.
What's a sweetheart like you doin' in a dump like this?
Well my house is on fire, burning to the sky
I wish, I wish, I wish in vain,; That we could sit simply in that room again.
Go 'way from my window,; Leave at your own chosen speed.
All I really want to do,; Is, baby, be friends with you.
I said, "You know they refused Jesus, too"; He said, "You're not Him"
It's many a guard; That stands around smilin',; Holdin' his club; Like he was a king.
They used to grow food in Kansas; Now they want to grow it on the moon and eat it raw.; I can see the day coming when even your home garden; Is gonna be against the law.
You got a lotta nerve; To say you are my friend
Ain't no altars on this long and lonesome road
Put your body next to mine; And keep me company,; There is plenty a room for all,; So please don't elbow me.
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late.
Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley
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
She got a weird sense of humor that's all her own
There are those who worship loneliness, I'm not one of them
Now the rainman gave me two cures,; Then he said, "Jump right in."; The one was Texas medicine,; The other was just railroad gin.
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
Three fellas crawlin' on their way back to work,; Nobody stops to ask why.
I couldn't see where we were goin'; But you said you knew an' I took your word
Well, if I had to do it all over again,; Babe, I'd do it all over you.
Well it's way past midnight and there are people all around; Some on their way up, some on their way down
Sometimes I wanna take to the road and plunder
Tell ev'rybody; Down in ol' 'Frisco; That Tiny Montgomery's comin'; Down to say Hello
Don't even hear a murmur of a prayer; It's not dark yet, but it's getting there.
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.
I don't know why I love her but I just can't stop
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.
Well, I spied a girl and before she could leave,; "Let's go and play Adam and Eve."; I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin'; When she said, "Hey man, you crazy or sumpin',; You see what happened last time they started."
Every day of the year's like playin' Russian roulette
In the fury of the moment I can see the Master's hand; In every leaf that trembles, in every grain of sand.
Oh, baby, that god you been prayin' to; Is gonna give ya back what you're wishin' on someone else
She knows where I'd like to be; But it doesn't matter.
I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles,; I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone.
It's so impossible to even learn the tune.
She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns.
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
I believe in the impossible, you know that I do
Do I need your permission to turn the other cheek?; If you can read my mind, why must I speak?
I looked at my watch; I looked at my wrist; I punched myself in the face with my fist
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.
People carry roses
Make promises by the hours
My love she laughs like the flowers
Valentines can't buy her
I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
How did I meet you? I don't know.
Sometimes the devil likes to drive you from the neighborhood.; He'll even work his ways through those whose intentions are good.
I don't mind a reasonable amount of trouble
The way is long but the end is near, Already the fiesta has begun
Well, the road is rocky and the hillside's mud; Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood
While my conscience explodes; The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
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.
I look into the eyes of my merciful friend
And then I ask myself, is this the end?
Memories linger, sad yet sweet
And I think of the souls in heaven who will meet
How can I explain?; Oh, it's so hard to get on
All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie
And I, I don't mind the pain; Don't mind the driving rain; I know I will sustain; 'Cause I believe in you.
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.
Silver and gold; Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
It was gravity which pulled us down and destiny which broke us apart
