I've been lost, I've been found I've been up, I've been down I've smiled at you in the morning babe Giving my heart and soul away In time, in another land Well baby I could use a helping hand More than once, been down before I’ve been bashing down your door All day and all of the night You pretend I’m not there, but I’m hangng on tight Let me in, let me out I say Baby I ain’t never gonna go away It don't matter what you say or do I ain't ever gonna crawl on back to you Had my time I’m here to say Loving you, well it just don't pay no It just don't pay When you smile at me that way Reminds me of much better days You can pout and you can tease You think you got me where you want me when i’m on my knees I’ve gone too far, I’m miles away Baby I got nothing left to say If my baby come back now Shaking her thing, only she know how Well if my baby try to be my friend She can go outside, come back in again I’m tired and I had enough Baby I can't get 'nuff your stuff no

He's got himself a homemade special You know his glass is full of sand And it feels just like a jaybird The way it fits into his hand He rolled a blade up in his trick towel They slap their hands against the wall You never trip, you never stumble He's walking spanish down the hall Slip him a picture of our Jesus Or give him a spoon to dig a hole What all he done ain't no one's business But he'll need blankets for the cold They dim the lights over on Broadway Even the king has bowed his head Every face looks right up at Mason He's walking spanish down the hall Latella's screeching for a blind pig Punk Sander's carved it out of wood He never sang when he got hoodwinked They tried it all but he never would Tomorrow morning there'll be laundry But he'll be somewhere else to hear the call Don't say good bye he's just leavin' early He's walking spanish down the hall All St. Bartholomew said was whispered Into the ear of Blind Jack Dawes All the Baker told the machine Was that he never broke the law Go on and tip your hat up to the Pilate Take off your watch, your rings and all Even Jesus wanted just a little more time When he was walking spanish down the hall

In a little café just the other side of the border She was just sitting there givin' me looks that made my mouth water So I started walking her way, she belonged to that man, José And I knew, yes I knew I should leave when I heard her say Come a little bit closer You're my kind of man, so big and so strong Come a little bit closer I'm all alone and the night is so long So we started to dance, in my arms she felt so inviting That I just couldn't resist just one little kiss so exciting Then I heard the guitar player say : 'Vamoose, José's on his way' Then I knew, yes I knew I should run but then I heard her say Come a little bit closer You're my kind of man, so big and so strong Come a little bit closer I'm all alone and the night is so long Then the music stopped when I looked the café was empty Then I heard José say : 'Man you know you're in trouble plenty' So I dropped my drink from my hand and through the window I ran And as I rode away I could hear her say to José Come a little bit closer You're my kind of man, so big and so strong Come a little bit closer I'm all alone and the night is so long Come a little bit closer Come a little bit closer Come a little bit closer, oh I'm so alone

I was thinking about parking the other night We was out on a back road My and my woman was just getting' right All systems on overload The radio blasting in the front seat Turning out the music fine We was snuggled up in the back seat Making up for lost time Steamy windows Zero visibility Steamy windows Coming from the body heat You can wine and dine a woman all night With good intent But there's something about a confrontation on a back road Breaks down the defense Steamy windows Ain't nobody can see Steamy windows Coming from the body heat There's a sound outside the front door And I know it's just the wind But it makes her snuggle up just a little bit closer And it starts things happening again Steamy windows Zero visibility Steamy windows Coming from the body heat Steamy windows Steamy windows

Dead Flowers 04:48
Well when you're sitting there in your silk upholstered chair Talkin' to some rich folk that you know Well I hope you won't see me in my ragged company Well, you know I could never be alone Take me down little Susie, take me down I know you think you're the queen of the underground And you can send me dead flowers every morning Send me dead flowers by the mail Send me dead flowers to my wedding And I won't forget to put roses on your grave Well when you're sitting back in your rose pink Cadillac Making bets on Kentucky Derby Day Ah, I'll be in my basement room with a needle and a spoon And another girl to take my pain away Take me down little Susie, take me down I know you think you're the queen of the underground And you can send me dead flowers every morning Send me dead flowers by the mail Send me dead flowers to my wedding And I won't forget to put roses on your grave Take me down little Susie, take me down I know you think you're the queen of the underground And you can send me dead flowers every morning Send me dead flowers by the U.S. Mail Say it with dead flowers in my wedding And I won't forget to put roses on your grave No, I won't forget to put roses on your grave

I am a one way motorway I'm the one that drives away then follows you back home I am a street light shining I'm a wild light blinding bright burning off alone It's times like these you learn to live again It's times like these you give and give again It's times like these you learn to love again It's times like these time and time again I am a new day rising I'm a brand new sky to hang the stars upon tonight I am a little divided Do I stay or run away and leave it all behind? It's times like these you learn to live again It's times like these you give and give again It's times like these you learn to love again It's times like these time and time again It's times like these you learn to live again It's times like these you give and give again It's times like these you learn to love again It's times like these time and time again It's times like these you learn to live again It's times like these you give and give again It's times like these you learn to love again It's times like these time and time again It's times like these you learn to live again It's times like these you give and give again It's times like these you learn to love again It's times like these time and time again

Rusty Cage 04:05
You wired me awake And hit me with a hand of broken nails You tied my lead and pulled my chain To watch my blood begin t boil But I'm gonna break I'm gonna break my I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run Too cold to start a fire I'm burning diesel burning dinosaur bones I'll take the river down to still water And ride a pack of dogs I'm gonna break I'm gonna break my I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run Hits like a Phillips head Into my brain It's gonna be too dark To sleep again Cutting my teeth on bars And rusty chains, I'm gonna break my Rusty cage and run When the forest burns Along the road Like God's eyes In my headlights When the dogs are looking For their bones And it's raining icepicks On your steel shore I'm gonna break I'm gonna break my I'm gonna break my rusty cage and run

Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty Sound of their breath fades with the light I think about the loveless fascination Under the Milky Way tonight Lower the curtain down in Memphis Lower the curtain down, all right I got no time for private consultation Under the Milky Way tonight Wish I knew what you were looking for Might have known what you would find And it's something quite peculiar Something shimmering and white It leads you here despite your destination Under the Milky Way tonight Wish I knew what you were looking for Might have known what you would find Wish I knew what you were looking for Might have known what you would find And it's something quite peculiar Something that's shimmering and white Leads you here despite your destination Under the Milky Way tonight Wish I knew what you were looking for Might have known what you would find Wish I knew what you were looking for Might have known what you would find Under the Milky Way tonight Under the Milky Way tonight Under the Milky Way tonight

Muddy Water 03:38
If I never get to heaven I don't care I been down to the crossroads And there ain't no devil down there They got the whole town shakin' out in L. A. They got the blues in Mississippi I'm going back some day Well I ain't gonna fuss and fight And I ain't stayin' up all night Worryin' 'bout the things that I can't change Let everybody think I'm a little bit strange 'Cause I love muddy water It's dirty but it feels alright I love muddy water I'm ready, I'm ready for the blues tonight Oh yes I am On my way to California, my old car broke down You know what, I left it sittin' right there And I walked on into town, I found a cheap Motel I got a twenty dollar room And when I woke up the next day You know what it was four o'clock in the afternoon Well I ain't gonna fuss and fight And I ain't stayin' up all night Worryin' 'bout the things that I can't change Let everybody think I'm a little bit strange 'Cause I love muddy water It's dirty but it feels alright I love muddy water And I'm ready for the blues tonight Now why should I worry all night and day 'Cause whatever it is, it's gonna be okay Oh yeah Well I love muddy water It's dirty but it feels alright I love muddy water I'm ready for the blues tonight Oh, and I love muddy water It's dirty but it feels alright I love muddy water I'm ready, ready for the blues tonight Well I love muddy water It's dirty but it feels alright I love muddy water I'm ready, ready for the blues tonight Yeah, it's dirty but it feels alright Muddy water I'm ready, ready for the blues tonight

After the thunder comes the rain After the breakup comes the pain Nothing lost, well nothing gained Never boring in my brain Cunning, evil and lies When things get too tough she cries It’s always got to be about you Every little thing we do I’m hearing voices in my head again Echoes of the violence from the bitter end Now it’s all over i’m never going back again Who needs you for a friend You drove me right around the bend I’m never going back again I thought you were my friend But the truth comes out in the end Taking what you wanted for free The man who was paying was me Well now, well done, you got me But i got out before topped me Now i feel like i cheated death And i’m loving every single breath I’m hearing voices in my head again Echoes of the violence from the bitter end Now it’s all over i’m never going back again Who needs you for a friend You drove me right around the bend I’m never going back again I can hear the rooster crow but i’m down for repairs It’s nothing too serious, a few breaks and a few small tears My guitar strings are rusty, it’s ok, i got spares It all makes sense now, i accept that nobody cares I’m never going back again Who needs you for a friend You drove me right around the bend I’m never going back again Never going back Never going back Never goin’ back again I ain’t a never going back

Did you, sail on, Straight into another day I got lost after the absinthe I’m sure that you, Pulled another stunning babe With your routine on the bass synth My baby does it better My baby she’s the one My baby since i met her She don’t stop until its done She’s cool for now, But look she’s lost in her phone New school babes ain’t got the skills yet No chance, with that, Always end up being alone She’s so cold gives me the chills yeah My baby does it better My baby she’s the one My baby since i met her She don’t stop until its done My baby does it better My baby she’s the one My baby since i met her She don’t stop until its done My baby does it better My baby she’s the one My baby since i met her She don’t stop until its done My baby does it better

Boogie A 03:44
I’ve been down Below the ground But now I’ve found myself again I must say I’m on my way Getting where I want to be Getting where I want to be And it’s great I won’t be late I’m not missing out this time My heart is torn I want to keep you warm But I can’t reach my world from here Can’t reach my world from here Can’t reach my world Can’t reach my world Can’t reach my world Can’t reach my world Can’t reach my world I can’t reach my world from here How do you do ? Do I know you ? I’m sure I’ve seen you ‘round before Turn the page So hard to gauge It’s a new direction And it’s great I won’t be late I’m not missing out this time My heart is torn I want to keep you warm But I can’t reach my world from here I can’t reach my world from here Can’t reach my world Can’t reach my world Can’t reach my world Can’t reach my world I can’t reach my world from here

Hoverin' by my suitcase Tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night Heavy rain fallin' Seems I hear your voice a callin', it's all right Rainy night in Georgia A rainy night in Georgia Oh, it is rainin' all over the world Neon signs flashin' Taxicabs and buses passin' through the night The distant moanin' of a train Seems to play a sad refrain onto the night Rainy night in Georgia Rainy all night in Georgia Lord, it's rainin' all over the world Rain How many times I wondered But it still comes out the same No matter how you look at it or think of it You just got to do your own thing, oh, yes I find me a place in a boxcar Take out my old guitar to pass some time Late at night when it's hard to rest I hold your picture to my chest and I'm all right But it's rainin' down Georgia Such a cold, old lonesome night in Georgia Sometimes y'all it just rains Rains One of them old slow drizzling Rainin'
