Love only stays for a little while, baby That's what I said 'cause I was scared Too scared to say what you mean to me, baby Too afraid to show how much I cared
Feel love, well, I couldn't be here So you just packed up and said goodbye I feel love but now it's too late And all I do is cry
'Cause I know that your memory lingers I think about you night and day I know from the tips of my fingers I had your love but I let it slip away I had your love but I let it slip away
Could not have your heart any day, pretty baby You could be here now and it's killin' me I'm standing all alone in the way, pretty baby In the way of love that was meant to be
I know 'cause your memory lingers I think about you night and day I know from the tips of my fingers I had your love but I let it slip away I had your love but I let it slip away
Feel love, well, I couldn't be here So you packed it up and said goodbye I feel love but now it's too late And all I do is cry
'Cause I know that your memory lingers I think about you night and day I know from the tips of my fingers I had your love but I let it slip away
I know that your memory lingers I think about you night and day I know from the tips of my fingers I had your love but I let it slip away I had your love but I let it slip away
You can't sit around waiting for the path to glory You gotta get movin' to tell your story The bigger they come, the harder they fall From the littlest acorns come trees so tall And where you're comin' from is where you're goin' Til' you get there you got no way of knowin'
All the love in the world won't find you if you don't let it Let it ride, let it ride, let it ride And every mistake is a break but only if you get it Let it ride, let it ride, let it ride
Everyday is a brand new place Feel the sun upon your face Try somethin' new, don't regret it A hole in your shoe but just forget it
Let it ride, oh, you got to let it Let it ride, let it ride, let it ride And every mistake is a break but only if you get it Let it ride, let it ride, let it ride
When the road gets dark And you can no longer see Just let my love throw a spark And have a little faith in me
And when the tears you cry Are all you can believe Just give these loving arms a try baby And have a little faith in me
And have a little faith in me Have a little faith in me Have a little faith in me Have a little faith in me
When your secret heart Cannot speak so easily Come here darlin' From a whisper start To have a little faith in me
And when your back's against the wall Just turn around and you, you will see I will catch you, I will catch your fall baby Just have a little faith in me
And have a little faith in me Have a little faith in me Have a little faith in me Have a little faith in me
Well I've been loving you for such a long time girl Expecting nothing in return just for for you to have a little faith in me 'Cause see time, time is our friend 'Cause for us there is no end And all you gotta do is a have a little faith in me I said I will hold you up I will hold you up And your love gives me strength in love So have a little faith in love I said a hey hey all you gotta do for me girl is have a little bit of faith in me
A moment of steel A dry-eyed house Did he say goodbye to you Or did you kick him out I know you're not afraid To go alone But this was a marriage of spirit, flesh, and bone
Now whatcha gonna do When the planet shifts Whatcha gonna do Gonna slit your wrists And bleed all over the Milky Way The stars in your eyes look red today
Cry love, cry love The tears of an angel The tears of a dove Spilling all over, your heart from above Cry love, cry love
The trust of a woman in his hand But he was a little boy, not a man You loved him stronger than he could feel Yeah he was wrapped up in himself like an orange peel
Now whatcha gonna do With the booze and the blush Whatcha gonna do When there's no rush Cop a little misery At the corner store Well one day that train of pain won't stop no more
Cry love, cry love The tears of an angel The tears of a dove Spilling all over, your heart from above Cry love, cry love
Throwing up ashes on the floor If this is a lesson in love Well what's it for? The heart will remember The burning fire The next time you feel the flame of desire
Cry love, cry love The tears of an angel The tears of a dove Spilling all over, your heart from above Cry love, cry love
Cry love, cry love The tears of an angel The tears of a dove Spilling all over, your heart from above Cry love, cry love
When that howling wind Comes to carry you again Just like your next of kin You must go To a far away place Where you don't recognize one face Don't unpack your old suitcase Cause you must go
You must go and you must ramble Through every briar and bramble Till your life is in a shambles Maybe then you will know You were born to blunder Born to wander, born to wonder Even when you're six feet under There's place That you must go
It is something you done Are you loyal to no one Turn your back on the sun And you must go It it something she said You keep this all up in your head Now your face is turning red And you must go
You must go and you must ramble Through every briar and bramble Till your life is in a shambles Maybe then you will know You were born to blunder Born to wander, born to wonder Even when you're six feet under There's place That you must go
Love is in the air You can smell it everywhere Its in your clothes, it's in her hair Ah, you better get out of there It's gonna take a midnight train To straighten out your winding brain Like a snake in the rain You must go
You must go and you must ramble Through every briar and bramble Till your life is in a shambles Maybe then you will know You were born to blunder Born to wander, born to wonder Even when you're six feet under There's place That you must go
Someone called out to you And it sounded just like crying On a street where nobody Even knows your name Your mind was getting high on the sweet air As your spirit was flying
Steam rising from the sidewalks Of New Orleans after an evening rain Steam rising from the sidewalks After an evening rain
And it only made the heat Feel like it was walking even closer As you headed up St. Charles To catch a streetcar named Desire Young couple struggling in the doorway Like he was trying to force her
In the distance you swore You could hear them open fire Tires squealing in the distance As you heard them open fire
Walk on, walk on Don't look back Don't ask questions Don't you try to understand Walk on, walk on Straight back down to your hotel room Where she lies waiting for her man
You're so afraid you might be losing love That is makes you worry And you wonder if she's ever seen this Kind of fear in you And you think of that young couple In the doorway And it makes you hurry
You wonder what kind of fear They might be living through Yeah you wonder if They saw that fear in you
Walk on, walk on Don't look back Don't ask questions Don't you try to understand Walk on, walk on Straight back down to your hotel room Where she lies waiting for her man
Well she was a millionaire Before she was fourteen But there was an emptiness there That to practically everyone else could be seen She hit up on the drug of love Though there was no hole in her arm There was a hole some place else About as big as dady 10.000 acre farm
Oh, she was dying for it For all the world to see Ah, she was as good as she could be
Well she had a baby at eighteen Never finished high school Her husband beat her for money and sex Till that cadillac finally ran out of fuel One disaster led to another Down to her and her baby son Born with a silver spoon in her mouth Headed south now Cause she was never born to run
Oh, she was dying for it For all the world to see Ah, she was as good as she could be
Oh, she was dying for it For all the world to see Ah, she was as good as she could be
Well her momma died last year And her daddy he called her back home But when he opened the door He could not recognize This spectre of hair and bone But it was his own baby child Though she looked like an old woman now Well she lived ten lifetimes in five years Anywhere that the law would allow
Oh, she was dying for it For all the world to see Ah, she was as good as she could be
Oh, she was dying for it For all the world to see Ah, she was as good as she could be
Yeah, she was good as she could be Ah, she was good as she could be
Oh the river knows your name And your tears falling like the rain All around you suffering and pain Oh the river knows your name
And the river hears you cry As the lightning cracks the open sky As your Momma sings a lullaby Oh the river she knows why
Let the river wash you down Beneath the surface With a rushing sound Like a freight train passing through a town Let the river wash you down
Let the river take away All the words That you and I could never say In the silence Darling let us pray Let the river take it all away
Oh the river knows your name From the Brazos to the Wabash To the Seine No two journeys Are ever quite the same But the river knows your name Oh the river knows your name
You finally found the mainstream In the middle of your life You tapped into a vein Of endless gold chains Now you're locked up tight Tearing down the middle of it Splitting it right in half Bobbing up and down the waves Like a runaway slave On a Huck Finn raft
Take your wife Take your family Take your gun Running through the woods And the burned out neighborhoods Looking for someone A member of your tribe A Place you can hide 'Til the war has begun 'Cause in the fields before the flood You'll be spilling blood Like a native son
Where you gonna run to There ain't no underground If only you could fly You'd cut across the sky Like a rifle round Oh, who are your people And where is your homeland 'Cause they're dying side by side At the river of pride Where we tried to take a stand
Take your wife Take your family Take your gun Running through the woods And the burned out neighborhoods Looking for someone A member of your tribe A Place you can hide 'Til the war has begun 'Cause in the fields before the flood You'll be spilling blood Like a native son
Take your wife Take your family Take your gun Running through the woods And the burned out neighborhoods Looking for someone A member of your tribe A Place you can hide 'Til the war has begun 'Cause in the fields before the flood You'll be spilling blood Like a native son
In the fields before the flood You'll be spilling blood Like a native son
Could not get to sleep It was on my wedding night I was tangled in the sheets And I was dreaming of a light Pouring from her window Coming up through the floor Lifting up the darkness Crashing through my kitchen door
Down to that old oak table I went to take a look And my whole life flashed before me Just like a story book She used to make me breakfast Or sit around and talk Have another cup of coffee Or maybe take a little walk
Dust down a country road Blowing int he wind Behind an old truck load Up before the rooster crowed There's an old dog staring At the dust down a country road
And that truck is going somewhere I just can't be sure When tomorrow's just the day After all that's gone before And I always thought of leaving I never could stay too long Now her memory's catching up And our sweet dreams are all gone
Dust down a country road Blowing int he wind Behind an old truck load Up before the rooster crowed There's an old dog staring At the dust down a country road
If I had a bullet I'd put it in this gun And I'd catch that old dog napping And I'd shoot him before he runs Cause he ain't much good for nothin' Except staring at the dust Lord I wonder what he's looking at Sneaking up on us
Dust down a country road Blowing int he wind Behind an old truck load Up before the rooster crowed There's an old dog staring At the dust down a country road
I'm sitting on the toilet With my sunglasses on Wondering what you are up to This hotel's got bathroom telephones But I don't want to interrupt you You might be painting your nails With your hot curlers on Each one a different color Or listening to that Beach Boys sailing song Sloop John B or another
Ethylene, my Ethylene My love for you is just obscene My deer you dress My fish you clean But you are nowhere to be seen My Ethylene
Well you could bag your limit With a bow and arrow Yeah you could skin a cougar in the dark Well I thought we were walking Down the straight and narrow How'd we ever drift so far apart
I took my eighteen wheels On this road to nowhere And you disappeared right up in the hills Like smoke up a chimney Girl, I go there Yeah in my dreams I visit you still
Ethylene, my Ethylene My love for you is just obscene My deer you dress My fish you clean But you are nowhere to be seen My Ethylene
Now some men will drive To the edges of nothing So they can take a peak at the great abyss Some men avoid love Like it was a plague or something So they can leave the seat down When they piss
I miss that crocheted thing You kept on the Kleenex box I miss my feet On your cold linoleum floor Sippin hot coffee After makin love till daybreak Well Ethylene a fool would ask for more
Ethylene, my Ethylene My love for you is just obscene My deer you dress My fish you clean But you are nowhere to be seen My Ethylene
Ethylene, my Ethylene My love for you is just obscene My deer you dress My fish you clean But you are nowhere to be seen My Ethylene
Tonight I'm howling at a foreign moon Might as well be a junkie's spoon For all the light it's given me Sinking in my misery
It's been forty days and forty nights Darling since I held you tight I walk the desert of my dreams I got to get out of here before I scream
Too much take off, too much landing No such love, no understanding
I can't wait baby till you're by my side I can't wait baby though you know I've tried I can't wait baby just one more ride I can't wait till you're by my side
Could you crawl through your telephone Girl I'm so tired of being alone I'm talking to walls in my hotel room Around the world in a sonic boom
Some close calls and some near misses All I want is your sweet soul kisses
I can't wait baby till you're by my side I can't wait baby though you know I've tried I can't wait baby just one more ride I can't wait till you're by my side
For all the noise on my hometown street Little children playing at my feet Well I would give my soul to be Back in your arms in Tennessee
Too much take off, too much landing No such love, no understanding
I can't wait baby till you're by my side I can't wait though you know I've tried I can't wait just one more ride I can't wait, can't wait Baby till you're by my side
I can't wait baby till your by my side I can't wait though you know I've tried I can't wait just one more ride I can't wait till you're by my side
Oh what have you done with your life Oh please don't tell me Just shut up and go to work Cause you're interrupting me
I won't represent the U.S. In the summer olympics My character's questionable My life is a broken record
I'm shredding the document I'm keeping my mouth shut I'm running on radio silence I'm letting the record speak I'm shredding the document The switchboard is lighting up I'm not taking anymore calls Well maybe from larry King
And I don't know who killed who I'm having a sex change To a woman who loves too much My sister's a petty thief
I doctored the evidence Yeah it was a cover up I want to stay wrapped in my blanket And never get out of bed
I'm shredding the document I'm keeping my mouth shut I'm running on radio silence I'm letting the record speak I'm shredding the document The switchboard is lighting up I'm not taking anymore calls Well maybe from larry King
All rumor and innuendo An Eagles reunion The 20th century's closing It's closing in on me
You know what my father said Well I'm not going to tell you Some words that I try to live by It's none of your goddamn business
I'm shredding the document I'm keeping my mouth shut I'm running on radio silence I'm letting the record speak I'm shredding the document The switchboard is lighting up I'm not taking anymore calls Well maybe from larry King
I'm shredding the document The switchboard is lighting up I'm not taking anymore calls Well maybe from Oprah Winfrey
These are the words That cry out of me in the night Like a buffalo herd From a shotgun blast scattered in flight I got a one track mind Going down a one train line Living on dreams half the time Going West
I gotta pick up speed Just to get what I need The end of the line guaranteed Your love is my rest
The coal catches fire I'm down the wire in a flash That big old smoke stack Is belching out black smoke and ash So sad to think of Hurting the one you love But surely that's what leaving does You'd know best
I gotta pick up speed Just to get what I need The end of the line guaranteed Your love is my rest Your love is my rest
We pass through the land Of Custer's last stand And I grin So this is where old Yellow Hair's Ghost dance begins I got the blood on my hands Can't even live where I stand I'm just a traveling man Cursed or blessed
I gotta pick up speed Just to get what I need The end of the line guaranteed Your love is my rest Your love is my rest Your love is my rest
I wouldn't trade your sweetness For all the sugar in the world Girl, and I know you'll always be The sweetest part of me These bitter tears we've cried
All of the smack in Manhattan Could not keep me high Why do you do the things you do To keep me loving you Darlin' I don't know why
But you are my mile high Oh my
An altered state of being Is what everybody's looking for Surely they see whenever you're around My feet don't touch the ground Baby come fly with me
You are my mile high Oh my Darlin' you are my mile high
Let's make this dance last forever Please don't you ever say goodbye Darlin' I want to stay this way Tangled up in the sway Until the day I die
You are my mile high Oh my Darlin' you are my mile high
I'm dirty as a man hole cover I'm lookin for my long lost lover She turned me out and now I'm sinkin' I'm just so easily led when the little head does the thinkin'
I'm talking with a tight red sweater I'm feelin' like Eddie Vedder Only twice as cool when she starts winkin' I'm just so easily led when the little head does the thinkin'
I'm loyal as a dog but I'm a hog for that sexual attraction It starts up in my mind and makes a bee line below the belt No consequences just satisfaction
Baby in my heart I'm faithful This two headed monster is so distasteful Forgive me when my instincts start stinkin' I'm just so easily led when the little head does the thinkin' I'm just so easily led when the little head does the thinkin' Think about it...
Forgive me if my instincts start stinkin' I'm just so easily led when the little head does the thinkin'
