Late In The Evening
The first thing I remember I was lying in my bed I couldn't of been no more Than one or two I remember there's a radio Comin' from the room next door And my mother laughed The way some ladies do When it's late in the evening And the music's seeping through The next thing I remember I am walking down the street I'm feeling all right I'm with my boys I'm with my troops, yeah And down along the avenue Some guys were shooting pool And I heard the sound Of a cappella groups, yeah Singing late in the evening And all the girls out on the stoops, yeah Then I learned to play some lead guitar I was underage in this funky bar And I stepped outside to smoke myself a 'J' And when I came back to the room Everybody just seemed to move And I turned my amp up loud and I began to play And it was late in the evening And I blew that room away The first thing I remember When you came into my life I said I'm gonna get that girl No matter what I do Well I guess I'd been in love before And once or twice I been on the floor But I never loved no one The way that I loved you And it was late in the evening And all the music seeping through Nit Music ManiaClub...Angel's Wings cyworld.com/vusrmsdyd |

When I was born my mother died
She said bye-bye baby, bye-bye I said, "Where you goin'? I'm just born" She said I'll only be gone for a while My mother loved to leave in style That's why God made the movies Well I laid around in my swaddling clothes Until the doctor came and turned out the light Then I packed my bag And my nametag And stole away into the night Hoping things would work out right That's why God made the movies Say you will, say you will Say you'll take me to your loving breast Say you'll nourish me with your tenderness The way the ladies sometimes do Say you won't, say you won't Say you won't leave me for no other man Say you'll love me just the way I am Say you'll love me Say you will, say you will When I was born my mother died She said bye-bye baby, bye-bye And since that day I've paid my way The notorious boy of the wild Adopted by the wolves when he was a child That's why God. That's why God. That's why God made the movies |

He's a one-trick pony
One trick is all that horse can do He does one trick only It's the principal source of his revenue And when he steps into the spotlight You can feel the heat of his heart Come shining through See how he dances See how he loops from side to side See how he prances The way his hooves just seem to glide He's just a one-trick pony (that's all he is) But he turns that trick with pride He makes it look so easy He looks so clean He moves like God's Immaculate machine He makes me thing about All these extra moves I make And all this herky-jerky motion And the bag of tricks it takes To get me through my working day One-trick pony He's a one-trick pony He either fails or he succeeds He gives his testimony Then he relaxes in the weeds He's got one trick to last a lifetime But that's all a pony needs (that's all he needs) He looks so easy He looks so clean He moves like God's Immaculate machine He makes me thing about All these extra moves I make And all this herky-jerky motion And the bag of tricks it takes To get me through my working day One-trick pony, one-trick pony One-trick pony, one-trick pony One-trick pony (take me for a ride) One-trick pony |

In the blue light
Of the Belvedere Motel Wondering as the television burns How the heart approaches what it yearns In a fever I distinctly hear your voice Emerging from a dream, the dream returns How the heart approaches what it yearns After the rain on the Interstate Headlights slide past the moon A bone-weary traveler Waits by the side of the road Where's he going? I dream we are lying on the top of a hill And headlights slide past the moon I roll in your arms And your voice is the heat of the night I'm on fire In a phone booth In some local bar and grill Rehearsing what I'll say, my coin returns How the heart approaches what it yearns How the heart approaches what it yearns |

The boy's got brains
He just don't use 'em that's all The boy's got brains He just refuse to use 'em that's all He said "The more I get to thinking The less I tend to laugh" The boy's got brains He just abstains The boy's got a heart But it beats on his opposite side It's a strange phenomenon The laws of nature defied He said "It's a chance I had to take So I shifted my heart for its safety sake: The boy's got a heart but it beats on His opposite Oh, Marion, I think I'm in trouble here I should've believed you When I heard you saying it The only time That love is an easy game Is when two other people Are playing it The boy's got a voice But the voice is his natural disguise Yes the boy's got a voice But his words don't connect to his eyes He says "Ah, but when I sing I can hear the truth autitioning." The boy's got a voice But the voice is his natural Oh, Marion, I think I'm in trouble here I should've believed you When I heard you saying it The only time That love is an easy game Is when two other people Are playing it |

Hey, Junior, where you been so long Don't you know me I'm your ace in the hole (talk about ace in the hole) Once I was crazy and my ace in the hole Was that I knew that I was crazy So I never lost my self-control I just walk in the middle of the road I sleep in the middle of the bed I stop in the middle of a sentence And the voice in the middle of my head said Hey, Junior, where you been so long Don't you know me I'm your ace in the hole (oh yeah) Ace in the hole Lean on me Don't you know me I'm your guarantee Riding on this rolling bus Beneath a stormy sky With a slow moon rising And the smokestacks driving by In the hour when the heart is weakest And the memory is strong When time has stopped But the bus just rolls along Roll on, roll on Roll on, roll on Roll on, roll on Some people say music that's their ace in the hole Just your ordinary rhythm and blues Your basic rock and roll You can sit on the top of the beat You can lean on the side of the beat You can hang from the bottom of the beat But you got to admit that the music is sweet Where you been so long Don't you know me l m your ace in the hole (oh yeah) Ace in the hole Lean on me Don't you know me I'm your guarantee Some people say music that's their ace in the hole Just your ordinary rhythm and blues Your basic rock and roll You can sit on the top of the beat You can lean on the side of the beat You can hang from the bottom of the beat But you gotta admit that the music is sweet Hey, Junior, I'm your ace in the hole Hey, Junior, I'm your ace in the hole Hey, Junior, I'm your ace in the hole Hey, Junior, I'm your ace in the hole |

Who knows my secret broken bone
Who feels my flesh when I am gone Who was a witness to the dream Who kissed my eyes and saw the scream Lying there Nobody Who is my reason to begin Who plows the earth, who breaks the skin Who took my two hands and made them four Who is my heart, who is my door Nobody Nobody but you, girl Nobody but you Nobody in this whole wide world Nobody Who makes the bed that can't be made Who is my mirror, who's my blade When I am rising like a flood Who feels the pounding in my blood Nobody Nobody but you Nobody but you, girl Nobody in this whole wide world Nobody, girl Nobody |

Half an hour change your strings and tune up
Sizing the room up Checking the bar Local girls unspoken conversation Misinformation Plays guitar They say Jonah he was swallowed by a whale But I say there's no truth to that tale I know Jonah He was swallowed by a song No one gives their dneams away too lightly They hold them tightly Warm against cold One more year of traveling 'round this circuit Then you can work it into gold They say Jonah he was swallowed by a whale But I say there's no truth to that tale I know Jonah He was swallowed by a song Here's to all the boys who came along Carrying soft guitars in cardboard cases All night long Do you wonder where those boys have gone? Do you wonder where those boys have gone |

Lord, I am a working man
And music is my trade I'm travelin' with this five-piece band I play the ace of spade I have a wife and family But they don't see much of me God bless the absentee Lord, I am a surgeon And music is my knife It cuts away my sorrow It purifies my life But if I could release my heart And veins and artery I'd say God bless the absentee I miss my woman so I miss my bed I miss those soft places I used to lay my head My son don't need me yet His bones are soft He flies a silver airplane He wears a golden cross God bless the absentee Lord, this country's changed so fast The future is the present The present's in the past The highways are in litigation The airports disagree God bless the absentee God bless the absentee |

It's been a long, long day
I got some run-down shoes Ain't got no place to stay But any old place will be okay It's been a long, long day Good night Good night Oh, my love I've sure been on this road Done nearly fourteen years Can't say my name's well known You don't see my face in Rolling Stone But I've sure been on this road Good night Good night My love Slow motion Half a dollar bill Jukebox in the corner Shooting to kill And it's been a... It's been a long, long day I sure could use a friend Don't know what else to say I hate to abuse an old cliche But it's been a long, long day It's been a long, long day |

Ev'ry bar and grill
Ev'ry greasy spoon Anywhere a quarter buys a tune Ride the spiral highway one more roll Ev'ry local call Ev'ry pink motel Any time the strain begins to tell Ride that spiral highway one more roll After the rain on the interstate Headlights slide past the moon Bone-weary traveler waits by the side of the road Where's he going? Then I think it's strange The way the body turns And how my heart approaches what it yearns Ride that spiral highway one more roll Ride that spiral highway one more roll |
