Melinda was mine
'Til the time That I found her Holding Jim And lovin' Him Then Sue came along Loved me strong That's what I thought Me and Sue But that died, too Don't know that I will But until I can find me A girl who'll stay And won't play games behind me I'll be what I am A solitary man Solitary man I've had it to here Bein' where Love's a small word A part-time thing A paper ring I know it's been done Havin' one Girl who loves me Right or wrong Weak or strong Don't know that I will But until I can find me The girl who'll stay And won't play games behind me I'll be what I am A solitary man Solitary man Don't know that I will But until love can find me And a girl who'll stay And won't play games behind me I'll be what I am A solitary man A solitary man Solitary man |

Up in the mornin', out on the job
Work like the devil for my pay. But that lucky old sun has nothin' to do But roll around heaven all day. Had a fuss with my woman, an' I toil for my kids, An' I sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray, While that lucky old sun got nothin' to do But roll around heaven all day. Oh, Lord above, don't you hear me cryin' Tears are rollin' down my eyes. Send in a cloud with a silver linin', Take me to paradise. Show me that river, Take me across, wash all my troubles away Like that lucky old sun give me nothing to do But roll around heaven all day. |

Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same? Will it make it easier on you now You've got someone to blame? You said One love One life When it's one need In the night One love, we get to share it It leaves you, baby, if you don't care for it Did I disappoint you Or leave a bad taste in your mouth? You act like you never had love And you want me to go without Well it's Too late Tonight To drag the past out Into the light We're one, but we're not the same We get to carry each other Carry each other One Have you come here for forgivness? Have you come to raise the dead? Have you come here to play Jesus To the lepers in your head? Did I ask too much? More than a lot? You gave me nothing, now It's all I got We're one, but we're not the same Well, we hurt each other, and we're doin' it again You said love is a temple Love the higher law Love is a temple Love the higher law You ask me to enter But then you make me crawl And I can't be holdin' on To what you've got When all you've got is hurt One love One blood One life You've got to do what you should One life with each other Sister Brothers One life, but we're not the same We get to carry each other Carry each other One One One One |

When life seems full
Of clouds and rain And I'm full Of nothin' but pain Who soothes my thumpin', bumpin' brain? Nobody When Wintertime comes With its snow and sleet And me with hunger And cold feet Who says "Here's two bits, go and eat"? Nobody Well, I ain't never done nothin' to nobody I ain't never got nothin' from nobody, no time And until I get something from somebody, sometime I don't intend to do nothin' for nobody, no time When Summertime comes All warm and clear And my friends see me Drawin' near Who says "come on in and have a beer"? Nobody Well one time when things was Lookin' bright I started to whittlin' on a stick one night Who said "Hey! That's dynamite!"? Nobody Mmmm, I ain't never done nothin' to nobody I ain't never got nothin' from nobody, no time And until I get something from somebody, sometime I don't intend to do nothin' for nobody, no time I ain't never done nothin' to nobody I ain't never got nothin' from nobody, no time And until I get something from somebody, sometime I don't intend to do nothin' for nobody, no time |

Well you're my friend
And can you see Many times, we've been out drinking Many times we've shared our thoughts But did you ever, ever notice The kind of thoughts I got? Well you know I have a love A love for everyone I know And you know I have a drive To live I won't let go But can you see its opposition Comes rising up sometimes? That its dreadful imposition Comes blacking in my mind? And that I see a darkness And that I see a darkness And that I see a darkness And that I see a darkness Did you know how much I love you? Here's a hope that somehow you Can save me from this darkness Well I hope that someday buddy We have peace in our lives Together or apart Alone or with our wives And we can stop our whoring And pull the smiles inside And light it up forever And never go to sleep My best unbeaten brother This isn't all I see Oh no, I see a darkness Oh no, I see a darkness Oh no, I see a darkness Oh no, I see a darkness Did you know how much I love you? Here's a hope that somehow you Can save me from this darkness |

It ALL began when they come took me from my home
And put me on Death Row, a crime for which I am totally innocent, you know. I began to warm and chill To objects and their fields, A ragged cup, a twisted mop The face of Jesus in my soup Those sinister dinner deals The meal trolley's wicked wheels A hooked bone rising from my food All things either good or ungood. And the mercy seat is waiting And I think my head is burning And in a way I'm yearning To be done with all this weighing of the truth. An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth And anyway I told the truth And I'm not afraid to die. I hear stories from the chamber Christ was born into a manger And like some ragged stranger He died upon the cross Might I say, it seems so fitting in its way He was a carpenter by trade Or at least that's what I'm told My kill-hand's tatooed E.V.I.L. across it's brother's fist That filthy five! They did nothing to challenge or resist. In Heaven His throne is made of gold The ark of his Testament is stowed A throne from which I'm told All history does unfold. It's made of wood and wire And my body is on fire And God is never far away. Into the mercy seat I climb My head is shaved, my head is wired And like a moth that tries To enter the bright eye I go shuffling out of life Just to hide in death awhile And anyway I never lied. And the mercy seat is waiting And I think my head is burning And in a way I'm yearning To be done with all this weighing of the truth. An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth And anyway I told the truth And I'm not afraid to die. And the mercy seat is burning And I think my head is glowing And in a way I'm hoping To be done with all this twisting of the truth. An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth And anyway there was no proof And I'm not afraid to die. And the mercy seat is glowing And I think my head is smoking And in a way I'm hoping To be done with all these looks of disbelief. A life for a life And a truth for a truth And I've got nothing left to lose And I'm not afraid to die. And the mercy seat is smoking And I think my head is melting And in a way that's helping To be done with all this twisting of the truth An eye for an eye And a tooth for a tooth And anyway I told the truth But I'm afraid I told a lie. |

(feat. Sheryl Crow)
Field of diamonds in the sky Worlds are whirling right on by Are you wondering who am i Field of diamonds in the sky Am I just a star in some crown Or someone's life sun going down, down, down Field of diamonds in the sky Silent beauty shining high Are you tears the angels cry Field of diamonds in the sky Field of diamonds in the sky Like the night you pass me by I could touch you if I try Field of diamonds in the sky Am I just a star in some crown Or someone's life sun going down, down, down Field of diamonds in the sky Silent beauty shining high Are you tears the angels cry Field of diamonds in the sky |

I know that hearts were loving
long before I was here. And I'm not the first to ever cry in my bed or in my beer. There were songs before there was radio of love that stays and love that goes. They were writing meloncholy tunes and tearful words that rhyme. Before my time. Before my time. There were songs in old dusty books of love that's always been. Sweet lovers in their glory who are now gone with the wind. Old fashioned love words spoken then keep coming back around again nothing's changed except the name, their love burned just like mine. Before my time. Before my time. And in the dim of yesterday I can clearly see that flesh and blood cried out to someone as it does in me. And there was some old song that said, "I love you til I die." Before my time. Before my time. But what the old time master's had is what I feel for you. Love is love and doesn't change in a century or two. If someway they had seen and knew how it would be for me and you they'd wish for love like yours and they would wish for love like mine. Before my time. Before my time. |

I got a crib full of corn, and a turnin' plow
But the grounds to wet for the hopper now. Got a cultivator and a double tree A leather line for the HAW and gee Let the thunder roll and the lighting flash I'm doing alright for Country Trash I'm saving up dimes for a rainy day I got about a dollar laid away The winds from the south and the fishings good Got a pot belly stove and a CORD of wood Mama turns the left-overs into hash I'm doing alright for Country Trash I got a MACKINAW and a hunting dog A cap I ordered from the catolog A good tall tree that shades the yard A good fat sow for the winters lard Let the thunder roll and the lighting flash I'm doing alright for Country Trash Well there's not much new ground left to plow And the crops need fertilizer now My hands don't earn me too much gold For security when I grow old But we'll all be equal under the grass And God's got a heaven for Country Trash And God's got a heaven for Country Trash I'll be doing alright for Country Trash |

It was on one cold winter night
When the wind blew across the wild moor When Mary came wandering home with her child 'Til she came to her own father's door "Father, dear Father," she cried. "Come down and open the door Or the child in my arms will perish and die From the winds that blow across the wild moor." But her father was deaf to her cry Not a sound of her voice did he hear So the watch dogs did howl and the village bells tolled And the wind blew across the wild moor Oh, how the old man must have felt When he came to the door, the next morn' And he found Mary dead, but the child still alive Closely grasping it's dead mother's arms. In grief the old man passed away And the child, to its mother, went soon And no one, they say, lives there to this day And the cottage, to ruin, has gone. But the villagers point out the spot Where the willows grew over the door Saying there Mary died, once the gay village bride From the wind that blew across the wild moor. |

Hold on honey I'd like to say
I'm busting out and breaking away I'm letting you go like a hot horse shoe I can't take another heart ache from you Think about how it's gonna be When you start back to needing me When your dancing shoes have lost their shine I'm gonna be gone in mine I'm leaving now I'm leaving now Get out of my face Get out of my place I'm leaving now, adios I'm leaving now And the time it comes when you trim the fat Feed the kitchen scraps to the front seat cat Bye bye baby when the bills come due You might have to give up a jewel or two Eat your heart out anyway It's hard as your head and it's cold as clay It's all over now you won't have me Your sugar daddy or your money tree I'm leaving now yeah I'm leaving now Get out of my space Get out of my face I'm leaving now, hey hey I'm leaving now Pull up the collar on my traveling coat Sell that miserable pleasure boat I wouldn't give another nickel for another buck I'm living on muscle, guts, and luck If anybody asks where did I go Tell 'em I went where the wild goose goes I wouldn't have me an area code Don't have a number, don't need a row I'm leaving now, me to I'm leaving now Get out of my face Get out of my space I'm leaving now, adios I'm leaving now I'm leaving now I'm leaving now Get out of my space Get out of my face I'm leaving now, adios I'm leaving now |

I'm a poor wayfaring stranger
While traveling thru this world of woe Yet there's no sickness, toil, or danger In that bright world to which I go I'm going there to see my Father I'm going there no more to roam I'm only going over Jordan I'm only going over home I know dark clouds will hang ‘round me, I know my way is rough and steep Yet beauteous fields lie just before me Where God's redeemed their vigils keep I'm going there to see my mother She said she'd meet me when I come I'm only going over Jordan I'm only going over home |
