He was walkin' through the alley way
Where the drifters sleep and the wild dogs play The moon was black, the sky was grey He thought he was alone She was waiting at the rose hotel across the street from the wishing well Turned the latch and broke a nail Checked her mobile phone Chorus Sometimes you run, sometimes you stall Sometimes you don't get up at all Sometimes you run, sometimes you fall He bought a ticket on the uptown train Got off at 8th and Birmingham Wondered if she gave a damn about him anymore She hadn't seen him in a year or so Why he called she did not know She had the oldies on the radio and someone at the door Chorus He threw a nickle in the wishin' well crossed the street to The Rose Hotel Got no answer when he rang the bell So he gave a little shout Tiny watchman with a baseball bat A cheap cigar and a persian cat Told him it was too bad that she had just checked out Chorus |

Days full of rain
sky's comin' down again I get so tired of these same old blues same old song Baby, it won't be long 'fore I be tyin' on my flyin' shoes flyin' shoes till I be tyin' on my flyin' shoes Spring only sighed summer had to be satisfied fall is a feelin' that I just can't lose. I'd like to stay maybe watch a winter day turn the green water to white and blue flyin' shoes flyin' shoes till I be tyin' on my flyin' shoes The mountain moon forever sets too soon bein' alone is all the hills can do alone and then her silver sails again and they will follow in their flyin' shoes flyin' shoes they will follow in their flyin' shoes Days full of rain skys comin' down again I get so tired of the same old blues same old song Baby, it won't be long till I be tyin' on my flyin' shoes flyin' shoes till I be tyin' on my flyin' shoes |

VERSE1
She wasn't bad. She wasn't good. She was just what she was. She had a thing makes a man, do the things he does. She had a way. A special way, to speak without a word. I swear to you, this very day, that this is how it all occurred. CHORUS We was: Throwin rocks in the river, counting ties on the track Thinking life could not be better and living in a shack. Feeling love for one another, deep down in our bones. Standing by the water, throwing rocks n skipping stones. VERSE 2 I was raised, in New Orleans. She was born in Jacksonville. And for a time, to me it seemed , she made the world stand still. CHORUS Throwin rocks in the river, counting ties on the track Thinking life could not be better and living in a shack. Feeling love for one another, deep down in our bones. Standing by the water, throwing rocks n skipping stones. VERSE 3 I came home late and I caught her, with a man from out of town. Now I wait beside the water for the flood to take me down. CHORUS Throwin rocks in the river, counting ties on the track Pouring gas on her letters and setting fire to the shack. Screaming bloody murder, leaving nothing but the bones. Standing by the water, throwing rocks n skipping stones. I am Standing by the water, yeah, throwing rocks n skipping stones. |

We left New York City, with nuthin' but a song,
she'll be coming' 'round the mountain when she comes. We wound up in Woodstock, at an old time jamboree, came to see the man behind the drums. (Chorus) Levon digs the doghouse, playing in The Band, when he locks in to that backbeat it ain't hard to understand. Get your body movin', celebrate your soul, Levon digs the doghouse, that's sho-nuff rock and roll. Son of a plain dirt farmer, from southeast Arkansas, he was born in a bare ramblin' shoe. Up and down the highway, and all around the world, laying down the rhythm and the blues. (Chorus) We were hangin' from the rafters, singing every song, that big barn band was hot as it could be. Up there in the spotlight, the man behind the drums, was takin' all the load off for you and me. (Chorus) Yea, Levon digs the doghouse, that's sho-nuff rock and roll. |

My wife took all the money, left me for a cop.
And I don't know nobody in this coffee shop. I'm starin' at the menu board, waitin' in a line, With ten bucks on my Starbucks card and one thing on my mind CHORUS: Is there wireless in heaven? I just wanna know. Do I need a password to log in when I go? And does Jesus have a website to send in my e-mail? Is there wireless in heaven, or do I go to hell? I order mocha latte ginger jasmine tea. The pretty little cashier girl looks up and smiles at me; She says "it is an honor", she knows who I am, Her grandpa plays the guitar and he's my biggest fan. CHORUS: Is there wireless in heaven? I just wanna know. Do I need a password to log in when I go? And does Jesus have a website to send in my e-mail? Is there wireless in heaven, or do I go to hell? I'm cosmically connected, spiritually aware. They say I'm apathetic, but I don't really care. Pathetically reflective, feeling over-matched, I wanna meet my maker with no wires attached. CHORUS: Is there wireless in heaven? I just wanna know. Do I need a password to log in when I go? Tell me will Jesus answer my e-mail? Is there wireless in heaven, or do I go to hell? Is there wireless in heaven, or do I go to hell? |
