The time must surely come
For the laws to fit the times The time must surely come For the laws to fit the times But while the law is standing You've got to open up your minds It seems to be the fashion To say you're right and they are wrong It seems to be the fashion To say you're right and they are wrong But if you don't see both sides You'll find yourself in jail 'fore long You're screaming at policemen But they're only doing a gig You're screaming at policemen But they're only doing a gig Try and take the time To figure out how the issue got that big Lenny Bruce was trying to tell you Many things before he died Lenny Bruce was trying to tell you Many things before he died Like don't throw rocks at policemen But get the knots of law untied Every time you're holding You are guilty of a crime Every time you're holding You are guilty of a crime The laws must change one day But it's going to take some time |

Living in Saw Mill Gulch Road
There's a lonely girl who's now fifteen Living in Saw Mill Gulch Road There's a lonely girl who's now fifteen Since I been gone, left a part of me Things unsaid - remembering I took her home. We rode a car Through rushing trees, the moon and night I took her home. We rode a car Through rushing trees, the moon and night It seemed so wrong to say goodbye Things unsaid. It wasn't right She's sneaking our her back window I'm waiting in Saw Mill Gulch Road She's sneaking our her back window I'm waiting in Saw Mill Gulch Road She couldn't see me ride away And leave her behind so all alone A pack of cards for solitaire Hidden meanings to stow away A pack of cards for solitaire Hidden meanings to stow away Lots of things for memories For when she dreams of future days |

I'm gonna fight for you JB
Your passing made so many cry I'm gonna fight for you JB Your passing made so many cry But you're resting now from trouble Out in God's land beyond the sky I believe you got a bad deal And that's something I want put right I believe you got a bad deal And that's something I want put right Get the people to hear your blues Keep them thinking day and night You were born in Mississippi And now your body's laid to rest down there You were born in Mississippi And now your body's laid to rest down there But I'm fighting for you JB I want your blues heard everywhere |
