I'm a free man in the morning I'm gonna go home
Been serving for years, never too near, always too far There was a young girl in the county who had an eye for me We kissed for a while, that made her smile Then it came down on me to fake it I should have found a way to escape it I was so wrong to say I'd see her one more time I'm a young man like a preacher, no souls to mend I've traveled too much to be known as just a traveling man So they judged me for a crime I could never have done They said I was one who carried a gun In the cold light of the morning I'm gonna go home, It's never too near, it's always too far I will have found a way to break it And when I go home again I'll see her one more time |

Hi, it's me sorry it's so late
The trip was hard that made you wait You can yell and scream and not be heard Low, on promises that were made A love song rarely played Is goodbye your only word? And she said oh dear god Give me one good reason Why I should stay here One more season with him. This guy is so full of holes And when he rains he pours. You say that you are here for me But where we are is far from home Have the children gone to sleep? Now I can't afford to waste my time Fearing that I've left my prime Can't be wrong so I must be right |

Before you sleep at night, do you ever think of me?
I often wonder what our years of distance mean Honestly Have you looked around to see an opening? Can you find a way to get here back to me? Honestly No, I need a hand to keep this man away from you I wonder what our years of distance mean to you When it's late at night do you dance hypnotically Can you feel my hand swing you gently close to me Honestly I try so hard to keep so far away from you Imagine it's the best I can do for you Carousel can you slow down and take me on? I need a change of company Can you go past the stopping mark? Go until it's dark It was hard to leave but it's harder to be free Cause I feel the best when she's not leaving me Honestly |

Stunned I am bewildered in my bed
An overdose on something that was said Rollover time measured by the mile Feeling knots that never will untie Flecks of dust dancing in the sun A ticking clock ticking for no-one The phone is still and still is what it's like To hide the sun and sink into the night Hanging from a tree is the passing time for me Discomfort when the tonics simply aren't Initials in the tree in the vein of misery At least I didn't carve you in my arms Did you know I saw you in a dream Me on a limb, you looking up at me I never smiled, you laughed until you cried It's better here at least I've come outside |

Oh the family has gathered at least the ones that matter
To mourn the loss of dear sue They saw her last night, she was feeling alright She likes it this way I am sure There is nobody's arms like dear sue's arms Just look here and see I'm here for the ride any old time I'll see you there, I'll see you there I'll see you there, in shadows I see you in there Daddy has manners he's brown as leather And tough like a hickory tree If son is a barn, then daughter is yarn And another is an md She's fit to be tied when the family arrives Just look here and see I'm here for the ride, any old time When you know a lady like this kind of lady You know you've quite a find A person of rarity, genuine as charity Always a smile in her eye There is nobody's charm like dear sue's charm Just look here and see I'm here for the ride any old time |

With a bottle in your hand
Try and quench the thirst of a drowning man How do you stand? On a pair of legs like rubber bands You see you really are not free Step aside from foolish pride Build yourself a bridge to the other side Don't come home from drinking With heartache on your mind And don't say you've been thinking About us this time Don't come here with roses And breath that I can see Expecting me to be thinking about anyone but me Another aspirin down the chute Another meatball flying through the hoop I see the plan Saving up your strength To be the ham You see, you really are not free Step aside from foolish pride Build yourself a bridge to the other side |

Feather row the boat stream and turn
Feather row the boat nothing to learn All the other boats are far away Featherweighted, your actions say it's impossible Feather row the boat if you like On the river you will be allright Look inside of her to see what is hate She is sleeping but soon she'll wake She's impossible Sails cut right through it Engines tear into it Old people fear it Young children won't go near it Swim into the starry ocean Feather row the boat with friends I hope You were in the sky but now you float Were you afraid of me when you flew away? Together we can kiss the ocean spray So lovable It's so lovable of me It's impossible |

No silence on the streets, dirty feet, you cannot sleep
Your taxi is your home You want to clean it up, the dirty scum, the filthy bums You write when you're alone But you cannot close your eyes and time goes on And betsy let you down You thought you had it right No you wouldn't wait man Took the trouble in your own hand You wouldn't believe it when she wouldn't leave it Stand up man So the senator needs a ride, didn't you Didn't you imagine if he died? The jealous husband met his match, get a gun, darlin' one Did you thank him for his cash? Your shooting days are done, drive a cab, pay the tab Guess the war is won No silence on the street, dirty feet, you cannot sleep Your taxi is your home But you cannot close your eyes and time goes on And iris let you down You thought you had it right |

Tweety fell out of the nest
Seven children laid it to rest May the love grow up with them Oh I, where have I been? And all around this comfort home Now I'm in the yard And every face that smiles for me Where they were, they are It occurs to me, I am a bird to you The wind it occurs to me, carried the bird to you Rent a treehouse by the week Pets included, food is free A wall of pictures takes me in Oh i, where have I been? By 9 o'clock the sun has set Say a prayer for those who forget Settle down and plug me in Oh I know where I am |

If there ever is any trouble
Gonna wanna be there for baby When a fighter fights, he's in there I am the four letters of failure You never were the acceptance Fair is the condition I'm in This call is not to make you feel sorrow I can always take it back baby If you ever want me to I will There is a hole at the bottom I can always say it got crazy If you ever want me to I will Hands wanna get it off of the pillow Knees wrap around the still darkness When I have an answer, know I will Calls in the other room say you love me I can always see it's so baby If you ever want me to I will |

Stumped the old lady with words she'd never heard
Kinda go crazy when I'm around her I see who you are and I know what you want I know what you have and I know you have not Met her last summer was the last summer for me Go on catch fire when you are happy Go on catch fire when you are mad If you desire make it a double I know the troubles you think you have Who in the world would take someone there With eyes kinda crossed and a nose way up in the air I see who it is when I turn the light on Couldn't pretend no I couldn't hang on Will the kind owner make a loner of me? Everyone knows you can't make it cold Without a cinder a spark will never grow I see who you are and I know what you want I know what you have and I know you have not Met her last summer was the last summer for me |
