Arizona

Like sunsets in Heaven
Or places I've never been in
You make me feel like sinnin'
Arizona
Free like horses on beaches
Skin soft as peaches
Let your hair down
Arizona
So ride on Arizona ride on
Until the sun sleeps at your shoulder
You know what to do
Work until what's through is through
And follow your heart to
Arizona
There's nothing like you
And when I saw that I knew
The sun always shines through
Arizona
You heard your call
So you dropped it all
Felt like you could finally stand tall
Arizona
So ride on Arizona ride on
Until the sun sleeps at your shoulder
You know what to do
Work until what's through is through
And follow your heart to
Arizona
You could be swimming in sunshine
Drinking up all of my wine
But now I'm dreaming of dancing with you
And you know what they say
No better day than today
Don't ever look back, Arizona
So ride on Arizona ride on
Until the sun sleeps at your shoulder
You know what to do
Work until what's through is through
And follow your heart to
Arizona

Pink Moon
03:04
|

High in the sky I'm watching the planes go by
The rolling hilltops take the view
Stuck in a place a bit prettier than where I came from
Spending the night under the Pink Moon
Pink Moon, I do, love spending the night with you
These summer days keep passing by
Pink Moon, when I'm though, dancing in the dark with you
You'll always be on my mind
Don't worry honey you'll be fine
Once a year, my dear, I'll spend a night with you
Lookin' at the sunlight through your view
Whistlin' a tune until the sun's had enough of you
As you drift into the sky
Pink Moon, I do, love spending the night with you
These summer days keep passing by
Pink Moon, when I'm though, dancing in the dark with you
You'll always be on my mind
Don't worry honey you'll be fine
As the days go by and the seasons change on through
You'll always be on my mind
Listening, and dancing, and grooving under you
(Now you have gone to sleep for good way to soon)
That clear, round, bright, Pink Moon
Pink Moon, I do, love spending the night with you
These summer days keep passing by
Pink Moon, when I'm though, dancing in the dark with you
You'll always be on my mind
Don't worry honey you'll be fine

Other Side
03:25
|

Good thing talk is cheap
Cause I don't have much cash
So I'll close my eyes and pretend that this
Drink will last
Cause if the songs I sing don't mean a thing
Then why'd I write them down
Guess I'll try my luck on the other side of town
A room alone can chill the bone
And make you what you fear
But I've never been a quitter so why
Would I start here
Cause if the songs I sing don't mean a thing
Then why'd I write them down
Guess I'll try my luck on the other side of town
Well in the end it's great
You won't have to worry any more
And with everything you've wanted
What else could you have asked for
I don't know it seems so far away
And I can't see much
Past today because
Our time here is short
But the days go so damn slow
So why would we fill our heads with
Thoughts of tomorrow
Cause the songs I sing don't mean a thing
But hell I like to write them down
Guess I'll try my luck on
The other side of town
Guess I'll try my luck on
The other side of town

Front Door
03:24
|
|||
|
Sitting out here staring into space
Wondering if you're coming home today
If you come back I hope you stay with
Me on one more sunny day
Before I drift away
Well I get up and I walk down to the front door
Too scared to leave, too old, too sore
It's been thirty five long damn years and then some more
Since your smiling face walked through that front door
Last time you looked at me I was glad to be
The only sane one out here living free
I gave no fucks, yeah I wasn't greedy
Unfazed by the sea surrounding me
And messed up knots filled with pain and misery
Well I get up and I walk down to the front door
Too scared to leave, too old, too sore
It's been thirty five long damn years and then some more
Since your smiling face walked through that front door
Now I'm here all alone lost on that old sea
Shoulda hitched a ride, when you asked me
I thought
I was fine
But in the end, I ran out of time
Well I get up and I walk down to the front door
Too scared to leave, too old, too sore
It's been thirty five long damn years and then some more
Since your smiling face walked through that front door

Two Dreams
04:23
|

|
Just when you think you've figured it out
Life comes and gives you a slap
Sometimes the only thing you control
Is the way that you react
What do you do when two dreams get in way of each other
You can only have one, the other is done even though you still love her
Just when you think you've figured it out
Life comes and gives you a slap
Sometimes the only thing you control
Is the way that you react
How do you know which way it unfolds now everything is different
And after it all, it's nobody's fault, no, something was just missing
Just when you think you've figured it out
Life comes and gives you a slap
Sometimes the only thing you control
Is the way that you react
Just when you think you've figured it out
Life comes and gives you a slap
Sometimes the only thing you control
Is the way that you react
What do you do when two dreams get in way of each other
You can only have one, the other is done even though you still love her
How do you know which way it unfolds now everything is different
And after it all, it's nobody's fault, no, something was just missing
Just when you think you've figured it out
Life comes and gives you a slap
Sometimes the only thing you control
Is the way that you react

Casino Cowboy

I was a cowboy
But not anymore
I lost my guns in the war
I can't shoot them anymore, no more
I've got not home
Just game to game I roam
And I know one day I'll see
All that's out there in this world for me
What's it worth it to you If I make a little bet or two cause
Ain't that how it goes, you live and die by how the dice roll
And I have won and lost it all so many times I fear I'm
Casino Cowboy tonight
I've seen my love go by
Like a well run dry
So many hearts I could not fill
So mine is empty still lost in this thrill
No peace I've found
I'm just ramblin' on round
There's too much blood on my hands
So I'll keep travlin' round this here land
What's it worth it to you If I make a little bet or two cause
Ain't that how it goes, you live and die by how the dice roll
And I have won and lost it all so many times I fear I'm
Casino Cowboy tonight
What's it worth it to you If I make a little bet or two cause
Ain't that how it goes, you live and die by how the dice roll
And I have won and lost it all so many times I fear I'm
Casino Cowboy tonight
What's it worth it to you If I make a little bet or two cause
Ain't that how it goes, you live and die by how the dice roll
And I have won and lost it all so many times I fear I'm
Casino Cowboy, Casino Cowboy
Casino Cowboy tonight

Smoke the Ashes
03:08

Smoke the ashes
Pick up the lighter and I hope it catches too
Now the whole gang's dry and
Everybody has called their guy but you
We'll smoke the ashes too
Unless you've got a doob
Scrape from the bottom, pile up the scraps
Put it on top or it'll taste like crap all day
Ain't no green, all black and grey
Saddest damn thing that I've seen all day, its true
We'll smoke the ashes too
Unless you've got a doob
Anyone got money, yeah we'll all throw down
I know who to call if he's in town, I do
Gee-Gee's home, he'll be there all night
He kind of sucks but his stuff's alright, it's true
We'll smoke the ashes too
Unless you've got a doob
Oh shit that's right no money left
I spent it to get to the show last night with Drew
But now I wish I was feeling fine
Brother do you think you could help me this time too
We'll smoke the ashes too
Unless you've got a doob

What if I told you
I know how this all ends
Would you even be surprised?
Do you read the letters that I send?
Well the deputies have followed me
Now they're not far behind
And I just want you to know
That you're always on my mind
I'm not buying green bananas anytime soon
Because I wanted by the law and not by you
I'm not buying green bananas anytime soon
Because I wanted by the law and not by you
Shoot on sight's the order
In case they ever run into me
But it doesn't really matter now
I'm dead as dead can be
Unforgivable are my crimes
At least that's what they say
But I would do it all again
It was for you anyway
I'm not buying green bananas anytime soon
Because I wanted by the law and not by you
I'm not buying green bananas anytime soon
Because I wanted by the law and not by you
The thought of you keeps me alive
When I run and hide
But I promise I'll see you again
Before I'm caught and tried
The lawman says I must pay the price
For all that I have done
And I know they mean to take my life
And there's nowhere else to run
I'm not buying green bananas anytime soon
Because I wanted by the law and not by you
I'm not buying green bananas anytime soon
Because I wanted by the law and not by you

Why Not?
04:23
|
|||
|
I'm sick and tired
Of coming right back to you
But those eyes you've got
Leave me with nothing else to do
So I will run on back
With all the sense I lack
And leave it right there with you
I know it's wrong
But that don't stop me anyways
And I try to forget about
That bullshit that you say
But still I'll run on back
With all the sense I lack
And leave it right there with you
Well I've been gone for far too long
And you know it still hurts the same
But I guess it doesn't matter because
You know just what I'm gonna say
We've been apart
And I made sure to see that through
But after one or two drinks
I always end up right there with you
So I will stumble on back
With all the sense I lack
And leave it right there with you
Because I'm sick and tired
Of coming right back to you
Oh but I can never hesitate
To land my eyes right on you
So I will run on back
With all the sense I lack
And leave it right there with you
Well I've been gone for far too long
And you know it still hurts the same
But I guess it doesn't matter because
You know just what I'm gonna say

Giant Eye

I am an Eagle
Pizza, and flag
And I melt in the sun
Of the Giant Eye, oh my
I glisten and there's
Children listening
Speaking of the sun
And the Giant Eye, oh my
Lets get together
And get old and get sad
For the sake of the sun
And the Giant Eye, oh my
Lets get together
And get old and get strange
Just like the sun
And the Giant Eye, oh my
Give me your heart
And your head and your hand
We'll live together in the sun
Of the giant eye, oh my
Let's give it all
Away
Away, away
To the Giant Eye, oh my

Mississippi
02:31

I went down to Mississippi
I said hey girl, won't you kiss me?
I'm just going down for a long ride
But as I made my way around
I started worrying about
How I will never see you again
I will be gone for a while
Hey Hey Hey
But there's a chance I may never come back
Hey Hey Hey
I don't know if I made it clear
When I told you that I wouldn't be here
I'm really just leavin' it all behind
I went down to Tennessee
I was thinking about you and me
I hope that you won't miss me while I'm gone
But then when I gave it much thought
My stories were better left unsought
Said it's better that you don't know what I have done
I will be gone for a while
Hey Hey Hey
But there's a chance I may never come back
Hey Hey Hey
I don't know if I made it clear
When I told you that I wouldn't be here
I'm really just leavin' it all behind
I will be gone for a while
Hey Hey Hey
But there's a chance I may never come back
Hey Hey Hey
I don't know if I made it clear
When I told you that I wouldn't be here
I'm really just leavin' it all behind

One More
02:46
|

|
One more drink is one too many
But the night is young and I don't work till ten she
Said and poured another tall whiskey
Drink into my cup
I've got nowhere else to be
Looks like it's just the bottle and me
Again tonight, but I guess we'll see
Where all I will end up
So maybe, I don't know
You've gotta tell me baby
If there's something else that I should know
I don't know
Well maybe then it's time to go
Nothing wrong with a drink or two
But the problems start when the bottle's through
Because then there's nothing left to do
Except to go and fuck shit up
But life's a party if you think that way
A big ole' game that we all have to play
And I don't make the rules but I sure have a say
In how I'll take my turn
So maybe, I don't know
You've gotta tell me baby
If there's something else that I should know
I don't know
Well maybe then it's time to go
Maybe then it's time to go
Maybe then it's time to go

Movin' Along
03:05
|
|||
|
Get up at dawn
Roll outta bed put the coffee on
One more day, one more song
Well I put a record on
In 30 minutes I'll be gone
One more day, one more song
And though I've been known to sing the songs I bring on home I pray
I'll keep movin' along
And all day I wait to play what I want at home I pray
I'll keep movin' along
Tune up my guitar
As I was cold in my car
One more day one more song
Tryin' to teach
Just what made me
One more day, one more night I'll be alright
And though I've been known to sing the songs I bring on home I pray
I'll keep movin' along
And all day I wait to play what I want at home I pray
I'll keep movin' along
And one day as I begin to grow old and grey I realize
Beauty is in your eyes
The music starts to play and the memories all fade away as I
Keep movin' along
I get home as dusk
Wipin' the snow off my truck
One more night, I'll be alright
I begin to play
What I've been dreamin' about all day
One more night, I'll be alright
One more night, I'll be alright

All Be Fine
04:05
|

|
It's been a while since I felt whole
Strayin' off the road I've come to know
My muscles ache and I can't sleep
My whole existence feels weak
But is there any other way
To make the pain go away
Been through this shit a hundred times
By now you'd think we'd all be fine
Today's the day I say no more
Each time I feel it a bit more
Well I begin to feel my soul
And so the darkness begins to grow
But is there any other way
To make the pain go away
Been through this shit a hundred times
By now you'd think we'd all be fine
It's been a week and I feel whole
Again I've found the road I've come to know
My body's at rest and I am strong
I've been away for far too long
But is there any other way
To make the pain go away
Been through this shit a hundred times
By now you'd think we'd all be fine
By now you'd think we'd all be fine

All My Days
02:41
|
|||
|
The time always goes by much too fast
Our walks in the park they just don't last long enough
And if I told you someday I wouldn't have to say goodbye
Would you take me for my word? Or would you take me for a liar
It's hard for me to turn and walk away
Why can't I have you one more day in my arms
Hand in hand together it couldn't be more right
I wish that I could stay with you one more night
You know I always try my hardest
To shine light through the darkness
Though I'm far away
And if you stay with me my darlin
I'll give you my promise
To love you all my days, all my days
Everyday with you is like a dream
But sometimes our life together seems far away
Every passing moment brings us closer to the day
When I won't have to leave and with you I will stay
You know I always try my hardest
To shine light through the darkness
Though I'm far away
And if you stay with me my darlin
I'll give you my promise
To love you all my days, all my days
