I'm not awake yet, I haven't opened my eyes.
But I haven't been late yet, I'm gonna to be on time. For today's the day that you are coming back. And I can't wait to see you materialize. How much can I take now before I break inside? How long will it take now before I realize, That I can't live without you by my side, And nothing else will keep me satisfied? I've looked at my heart now and I trusted my eyes. I made that mistake now ain't gonna make it twice. But time can put the man on the other side. And I can't wait to see what's left behind. I'm not awake yet, I haven't opened my eyes. I haven't been late yet. Gonna be on time, gonna be on time, gonna be on, gonna be on time. But today's the day that you are coming back, And I can't wait to see you materialize. |

Baby I no longer wanna be, just a thorn in your side.
Tell me what you gave me baby, and I will give you back. The troubles you gave me, gonna wrap em' up in a box, Tie em' up with string, send em' back to you, They no longer mean a thing to me. Better get used to bein' my used to be. Baby I no longer wanna be, just a cushion for your pride. Here's my fastback baby, this man's got a ride away. Before you make me change my mind, I'll be gone before you notice, that I'm not around. You'll look everywhere baby, but I just won't be found. Better get used to bein' my used to be. I used to be the hands of your clock baby, But I always knew in time. I'd no longer be the key to your lock baby, And you would change your mind. Owww... I used to be the hands of your clock baby, But I always knew in time. I'd no longer be the key to your lock baby, And you would suddenly change your mind. Owww... Baby I remember a time when you, really used to try. But now-a-days baby, you can't even look me in the eye. Your love is drifting with the tide. Well I ain't gonna blame you, if you ain't gonna blame me. I'll just move on down, I'm sure that you'll agree. Better get used to bein' my used to be. Well I ain't gonna blame you, if you ain't gonna blame me. I'll just move on down the line, I'm sure that you'll agree. Better get used to bein' my used to be. |

I don't know where I'm going,
Don't know where I've been. 'Cause I haven't seen my baby, Since I don't know when. I'm walking down that long road, With a smile up on my face. I'm broken hearted, But you won't see a trace. Feeling disconnected, These blues are out to kill. Sweep them in the corner, Put 'em in the bin. All right so you don't sympathise, Don't expect that you should. Walk right for one day you might, Run into this patch of grey clouds too. All right so you don't sympathise, I don't expect that you should. Stay bright for one day you might, Run into this patch of grey clouds too. Gravel in my pockets, From the places I have been, The soles of my shoes are paper thin. I got sand here in my pockets. From the place that I come from. That's where I'm going, So I'll say so long...yeah. |

Running through a pool of rain
I think i'll do it one more time again I hope i always feel this way maybe i will Searching for a piece of ground where i can lay my body down with the earth for a pillow under my head Wake up in the morning it's a brand new day And though it seems the same it's different from yesterday Then i read the leaves and put my cup away Running down a country lane Looking on a a field of grain Just to see you smile makes me feel alive again Opening another door I'll see what i have not seen before Maybe i'll find what i'm looking for Running through a pool of rain I think i'll do it one more time again I hope i always feel this way maybe i will maybe i will |

A whole lot of people talking,
Trying to make sense. Seems everybody's living on a barbed wire fence, Whole lotta people too proud to call, 'Cause it won't get no help at all. Everybody's waiting for the good news day, But it seems so far away. Wonder if it's ever gonna come, 'Cause the way it's been, The restless one. Lot of things have gotta change, If it's not already too late. But it is worth the wait, So, let's not hang our heads, The light will shine one day. Lot of things have gotta change, If it's not already too late. But it is worth the wait, So, let's not hang our heads, The light will show through yet. Yeahh... Now listen baby, and listen well, I've got only one thing to tell. Don't you worry about people telling lies, They're only catching flies. Yeahhh.. A whole lotta people talking, Trying to make sense. Seems everybody's living on a barbed wire fence, Whole lotta people too proud to call, 'Cause it won't get no, 'Cause it won't get no, 'Cause it won't get no, Help at all, Help at all. |

Should've learnt my lesson
long long time ago Should've learnt my lesson long long time ago Bored like a mule i've always learnt my lesson slow Should have listened taken my friends advice Should have listened to my best friends and to my eyes They said "you must be prepared to lose" If you choose to chance the dice Well i'm feeling about as tired as a bad pair of shoes When you don't fit then you know it's time to move But if you had my troubles you'd be cryin too My first mistake was when i thought that you'd be true My first mistake was when i thought that you'd be true now i realise that was a foolish thing to do |

Well you can ride on the crest of a wave if that's where you want to be
But does the look on your face mean you're really feeling happy Or do you feel like you're standing on a wooden leg Or a poor man much to proud to beg Or a page from a book that can't be read at all Well you can see by the way that they are talking That it's time for you to pick up your grip and start walking 'Cause they want to see your long ... legs flying Go to the place where the earth meets the sky and don't turn around and wave goodbye at all They won't be satisfied, till you're out of their sight But I wonder how will you feel With a deck of cards and you're not around to deal You're not around to deal , yeah They won't be satisfied, till you're out of their sight But I wonder how will you feel With a deck of cards and you're not around to deal You're not around to deal , yeah You can say it's a lie, a joke that you are living But you know one thing they don't, You won't give in 'Cause you're like a cat chasin' its tail makes a million circles But you're gonna fail Sometimes you just don't understand |

Do you read me, well won't you tell me?
If you read me, then please believe me, when I say, Yes I've been waiting, seems like forever. I've been waiting, my situation ain't got much better, Well I've been waiting, the situation don't get much better.

I've been hurting, my hearts been burning, I've been hurting, but I've been learning, just the same. Well, I've been waiting, seems like forever, While I've been waiting, My situation ain't got much better, While I've been waiting, The situation ain't got much better, I've been waiting, The situation don't get much better. |

Well I was born on the side of a road
A gap in the hedge Did you hear what I said? Born in a house with no slates But I wouldn't switch I didn't have a stitch Always been out on a limb I've been hard to mend Like a kick in the shins You'll only see me smile When I eat up a country mile Born on the green light, a mission to move Something to prove, an itch in my shoes I heard then wail of a train From a burnin' stack and I jumped on the back Well the engineer threw the switch And it got to my brain, I've never been the same You'll only see me smile When I eat up a country mile Gotta make tracks, gotta raise the dust Grease my heels Out race the bus Don't blink your eyes Or you won't see me again Born a spoke of the wheel Not a part of the set and I'm running yet I ran before I could walk The price of the fare was hardly ever there Saw an eight wheeler move And I couldn't choose I just had to cruise You'll only see me smile When I eat up a country mile Well I was born on the side of a road A gap in the hedge Did you hear what I said Born in a house with no slates But I wouldn't switch I didn't have a stitch Always been out on a limb I've been hard to mend Like a kick in the shins You'll only see me smile When I eat up a country mile Gotta make tracks, gotta raise the dust Grease my heels Out race the bus Don't blink your eyes Or you won't see me again |

Well, the rain ain't fussy about where it lands,
It'll find you hiding no matter where you stand. It's gonna rain brother, and it's gonna rain hard, When the blues comes calling with it's calling card. It ain't too funny when you'd rather die, Ain't no pleasure when that girl don't reply. To your love sick letter that you wrote in tears, About feeling so bad for a million years. Watch out brother, be alert, But whatever you do, don't show that hurt, Don't show that hurt, show that hurt. I've been subjected, I've been so distressed, Come back baby, to clean up this mess, Clean up this mess. It ain't so funny when you'd rather die, Ain't no pleasure when that girl don't reply. To your lovesick letter that you wrote in tears, About feeling so bad for a million years. Yeah, the rain ain't fussy about where it falls, It rains on one like it rains on all. But when it falls brother, it's gonna rain hard, When the blues comes calling with it's calling card. Watch out brother, be alert, Whatever you do, don't show that hurt, Don't show that hurt. |

I've cried enough tears to fill up an ocean,
Surely you see that my world's been broken? Here I am, where are you? Help me please, pull me through. Here I am, where are you? All my days are edged in blue. You made up your mind and nothing can change it, You want to be free but I can't rearrange it. Here I am, where are you? Tell me please, what to do, Here I am, broken into, All my days are edged in blue. I'd go anywhere, if I thought you'd be there, 'Cos I've made up my mind that's where I belong. I've traveled the world 'cos I couldn't be told, Told by my heart that you really had gone. I'd go anywhere, if I thought you'd be there, 'Cos I've made up my mind that's where I belong. I've traveled the world 'cos I couldn't be told, Told by my heart that you really had gone. Yeah.... Our lines got crossed through all things unspoken. A tangle of knots not easily opened, Here I am, where are you? Help me please, pull me through. Here I am, where are you? All my days are edged in blue. Here I am, where are you? Help me please, pull me through, Here I am, where are you? Can't you see I'm edged in blue. Ohhh....... Ohhh....... |

Well I don't care if I get arrested,

I've been so alone, I've been feeling blue, I think I need a little drink or two. Be my friend, tell me where the place is, Where the whiskey flows and the dices roll till dawn? My baby's done me wrong you must have guessed it, My heart's so low I think it must be told. That I don't wanna know where east or west is, 'Cos pretty soon I won't feel the cold. When I'm walking down mainstreet, feeling no pain, Along comes a cop, he can take my name,. And explain to me what a federal case is, I'm mixing the barley with the grape again. Bright city lights, make me feel alright, I'm right or wrong and tomorrow never comes. I don't care if I get investigated, And the city fathers, they all black my name. I'm pretty sure that you can smell the traces, For tomorrow morning, I'll take all the blame. I've been feeling bad and feeling blue, I think I need a little whiskey or two, God, brother, you look like you could do with it too. Tonight I'll sleep on a walking-cane. Bright city lights, make me feel alright, I'm right or wrong and tomorrow never comes. I don't care if I get arrested, Cause tonight they'll need more than a ball and chain. I don't care who's interested, I'm coming into town just the same. I've been feeling alone and I've been feeling blue. I think I need a little drink or two. Hey, be my friend, tell me where the place is, Where the whiskey flows and the dices roll till dawn. |

Is there a car straight under a light that's burning?
Prepared by your soul for all the secrets you're holding. Step back in time machine for a mind that's frozen. This is a mind that will challenge the full moon. Capture on acid a man whose mind is exploding. This is a life from the edge of the map that's turning. There on a map they check on the eye of the beholding. This is a flag for a mind that's frozen. Don't look for more deep in the sun it's turning. Ants all over your eyes broken ??? They're watching, They've got you now. They're showing pictures on a screen, Time slips and places where you've been. They're little secret of Saigon. You trust them mostly to Hong Kong. Guess what's right in the market place? Selling secrets at the lowest price. Eye to eye, come on it's your weakness. A childish game, marked with foolish ?? Walking city, cat 'n' mouse charming. They've got you - they've got you now. They'll watch you - they've got you now. |

Well, you think you're sitting pretty
But you're sitting on a powder keg. Well, you think you're standing steady But you're weak as a matchstick leg. Well, there's a rumble in the city, There's a call out for your head. Now isn't it a pity Your future's just a lump of lead. But now you're running scared, you've got no place to run; You're caught between the law and the Big Guns. Well, it's a long way from the pool halls, Through the rackets and the petty crime. Well, you thought you were a tough one But you've bitten off too much this time. You've stepped on the wrong toes, Now look who you've upset. You walked on the wrong toes, You've got your picture on the police gazette. Well, now you're running scared, you've got no place to run; Yor're caught between the law and the Big Guns. Your backis against a wall, you don't like it there at all. Now you!re too proud to fall, you got no friends you can call. Well, you never felt so gritty, The sweat's pouring down your back. You're like a tiger in the jungle And you can't find your way back. You hadn't played your cards right, You hadn't seen the signs, Well, you tried to run the whole game, Now you've come to the end of the line. Well, now you're running scared, you've got no place to run; Now you're face to face with the Big Guns. |

Well, he's drinking down the bourbon like it was soda pop,
Trying to quell a feeling he knows ain't gonna stop, He's mortgaged out his blood for one more chance to breathe. He had the D.T.'s for breakfast, the shakes till noon, He picked up his bag and left the motel room, His head is held high but his heart is on it's knees. Well, he packed his guitar and his bar-room tan, Gotta get some miles behind him as fast as he can, Another destination, some place else to play. Well, he left a life behind him in some old trailer park. They tried to make it work; it was ruined from the start. He had to shake the rust, it became time to leave. It's a honky-tonk engagement, But there's no better place to play. His face feels like crazy pavement, It's getting more lined every day. Well, he's gonna write a letter and try to explain, She says he's too old to have these growing pains, But something keeps him moving, living on through the night. But as the night approaches, a change is in the air, His heart is pumping fast, he's got no cares. The music befriends him, it can take him anywhere. It's a honky-tonk engagement, But there's no better place to play. His mind feels like crazy pavement, He's getting crazed out every day. Well, he's drinking down the bourbon like it was soda pop, Trying to quell a feeling he knows ain't gonna stop, He's mortgaged out his blood for one more chance to breathe. He had the D.T.'s for breakfast, the chills till noon, He picked up his bag and left the motel room, His head is held high but his heart is on it's knees. |

You give me double vision, strange transmission,
When you walk in the room. Tongue-tied feeling, can't see the ceiling, You've turned out the moon. Tell me, darling, what you're trying to do. You give me double vision, strange condition, When you act that way. I'm walking sideways, my nights become days, But I feel okay. Tell me, darling, what you're trying to do. You give me double vision, soul transmission, When you act so cruel. My mind is reeling, can't see the ceiling, 'Cause you've turned out the moon. Tell me, mama, what you're trying to do. You got me jumpin' like a man with the voodoo. Tell me, darling, what you're trying to do. You got me mad like a man with the voodoo. |

Who's that calling way out there?
I've got your signal, loud and clear. In the distance a light is near, Through the night, sharp as a spear. My mind sees all the things my eyes can't see, What are you trying to say to me? I've got your signal, Feel your signal. Everything seems very strange, And now you're not that far away. I feel so calm, I don't feel fear, Behind that light I know you're there. My ears hear sounds I've never heard before, Tell me what you've really come here for. I've got your signal, Ohh.... feel your signal. There's a beacon flashing in the distant night, Don't feel time passing right before my eyes. Is my dreaming beyond control? I feel these movements here below. Is this the end, or is there more? I'll stay suspended for evermore. My eyes hear all the things my heart can't see, What are you trying to do to me? I've got your signal, Feel your signal. There's a beacon flashing in the distant sky, Don't feel time passing right before my eyes. Who's that calling from way out there? Got your signal, loud and clear. In the distance I know you're there, Through the night, sharp as a spear. My mind sees all the things my eyes can't see, What are you trying to say to me? Well, I've got your signal, I've got your signal, Feel your signal. |

My heart's in trouble, my soul's on fire,
My mind is aching for my one desire. This heavy weather, will it never seem to end, I start to wonder will my poor heart ever mend. I don't know what I am supposed to think, This must be some kind of jinx. My line's been tapped, my mail's been screened, I could be wrong but that's the way I feel, Everything I try just crumbles before I start, Feel like a lost child, searching in the dark. Will I swim or will I sink, This must be some kind of jinx. You've got your heart locked up, And you've thrown away the key, Feel like I'm sinking down, Into the endless sea. My heart's uneasy, my soul's on fire, You're the ice--please put out this fire. This crazy weather, will it never seem to end. It's getting harder with all the bad news that you send. I don't know what I am supposed to think, This must be some kind of jinx. I don't care what anybody thinks, 'Cos this must be some kind of jinx. Will I swimor will I sink, This must be some kind of jinx. |

Now you're not so carefree. You found the thorn behind the rose, You took it, oh, so badly. Lost inside yourself, You've gotta break out soon. You've gotta try again, To hear a brand new tune. Oh yeah... Once easy come and easy go, You just hear sad notes lately. You use to fly and chase the wind, I don't know you lately. Don't take it, oh, so bad, Things are gonna change. Don't make it, oh, so sad, The sun will shine again. Oh yeah... Please don't lock me out, What's it all about? I'll change it all completely, Won't you let me in, Don't you need a friend? If I can help, just call me. I'm easy come and easy go, Don't paint it all so sadly. Before you know the light will shine, Don't burn out completely. Locked inside yourself, You've gotta break out soon. Come on and try again, And hear a different tune. Oh yeah... |

Well, it's a straight line as the crow flies,
To a heaven here on earth. And if you make time, it's a cool drive, Head down to the coast. If your taste runs to the gumbo, Don't know where to go? Let me introduce you to the King of Zydeco. If your head leaks like a strainer, The sea comes to your door. A strange sound from the juke-joint, A mile just down the road. Believe it when you hear it, The sound of the rubbing board. Let me introduce you to the King of Zydeco. Yeahh.. Move it over, Open up that lane. Roll it over, Buddy, I'm insane. You won't feel like a stranger, You've found a second home. You can get out of your tree there, When that music hits your soul. Bye-bye Big Brother, 'Cause I'm going away, I wanna listen to the man, They call Clifton Chenier. Feel like a statistic, Feeling shrink-wrapped too. It's fun-time baby, You've been too long in school. Head down to the place, Near to Thibodaux, Let me introduce you to the King of Zydeco. Move that semi, Buddy, I'm insane. It's now or never, I can't touch the brakes. Well, it's a stone's throw from the Bayou, And I can see the sign. Shining like a beacon, Right on through the night. No more airs and graces, Gotta catch the show. Let me introduce you to the King of Zydeco. |

Hear you call..yeahh.. You'll never get to heaven, Putting money in the plate. Can't bribe St. Peter, When you're at Heaven's gate. Right now you wonder, How crazy things can be, You dealt your own hand, Five-card Destiny. Roller-coaster, feeling from the floor. Someone stole the, key right from your door. Just what you needed, Shadows on the blinds. Feel so somersaulted, Trying to keep your sense of time. Lightning on the windows, Just to seal your fate. Who is gonna save you, When you're at Heaven's gate? Yeahh....heavens gate. |
