I got home late this evening, stumbled up the stair
I couldn't believe my eyes when I looked in the bedroom there My woman with a man was lyin' fast asleep I felt a rage inside me, control I couldn't keep She was a cheater I reached the dressing table, kicked away the door I gripped the cold black metal, a loaded .44 By this time they're awake and they don't know what to do I scream you cheatin' bitch here's what I think of you You are a cheater They both pleaded for mercy, I said no way When you do this upon me, you have no say I treated you so real good, and this is what you do Oh no I've finished with you, your time is through You are a cheater If you need a cheater there's nobody sweeter than this one There's no neater, come on here and meet her Cheater, cheater, cheater, come on and meet her... |

I'll be damned, here comes your ghost again
But that's not unusual It's just that the moon is full And you decided to call And here I sit, hand on the telephone Hearing the voice I'd known A couple of light years ago Heading straight for a fall Well we both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust Yes we both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust Now I see you standing all around with snow in your hair Now we're looking out the window of a crummy hotel over Washington Square Our breath comes in white clouds, mingles and hangs in the air Speaking strictly for me, we both could've died then and there Now you're telling me, your not nostalgic Damn give me another word for it You were so good with words And at keeping things vague Cause I need some of that vaugeness now It's all come back too clearly, Yes I love you dearley And if you're offering me diamonds and rust, I've already paid Well we both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust Yes we both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust Diamonds, Diamonds and rust Diamonds, Diamonds and rust Diamonds, Diamonds and rust Diamonds, Diamonds and rust |

Came in this morning high on a bird's wing
Quite open minded but still quite aware Followed the sunrise right through from dawning Picking out landmarks that said I was there Led to positions by stern faced leaders Who never let one smile depart from their face Then with an arm raise the slaughter is started One or two crack up and start to cry Selfishness breeds in this cesspool of sorrow Every few moments I see I friend die Synchronized watches flash in the sunlight As into the battle we are all led Killer, killer, keep your thoughts at bay Maiming, destroying, every single day Is this the way that you get your fun Slaying, waylaying, in the heat of the midday sun Get out, get out, go and do your job Rape and pillage, squander all and rob You make me sick, getting paid for murder You wouldn't lay a finger on your mother, oh no You never ever dream to hurt her Hero, hero, you have done so well So sit back and lick your wounds, cause you won't go to hell Take your medal, wear it now with pride Consolation for the pain and sin you feel inside |

Stones In The Road
(Mary Chapin Carpenter) When we were young, we pledged allegiance every morning of our lives The classroom rang with children's voices under teacher's watchful eye We learned about the world around us at our desks and at dinnertime Reminded of the starving children, we cleaned our plates with guilty minds And the stones in the road shone like diamonds in the dust And then a voice called to us to make our way back home When I was ten, my father held me on his shoulders above the crowd To see a train draped in mourning pass slowly through our town His widow kneeled with all their children at the sacred burial ground And the TV glowed that long hot summer with all the cities burning down And the stones in the road flew out beneath our bicycle tires Worlds removed from all those fires as we raced each other home And now we drink our coffee on the run, we climb that ladder rung by rung We are the daughters and the sons, and here's the line that's missing The starving children have been replaced by souls out on the street We give a dollar when we pass, and hope our eyes don't meet We pencil in, we cancel out, we crave the corner suite We kiss your ass, we make you hold, we doctor the receipt And the stones in the road fly out from beneath our wheels Another day, another deal, before we get back home And the stones in the road leave a mark from whence they came A thousand points of light or shame, baby, I don't know |

Where would you be without music
You would be nowhere at all We wouldn't be here doing this now If you weren't having a ball One for the road, sharing our load, show us the way Can you imagine the silence Not even the pink or white noise Well thankfully we've got the license To have us some fun with the boys One for the road, sharing our load, show us the way The melody line's fascinating The rhythm is something divine It sends our adrenaline racing To see you all moving so fine One for the road, sharing our load, show us the way One for the road... |

Man eatin momma, steam driven hammer
Sorts the men out from the boys Takes no messin', all in wrestlin' Is one of her pride and joys She a classy, flashy lassy Imitation sapphire shine Two faced liar, full of fire But I know the flame is mine Rocka rolla woman for a rocka rolla man You can take her if you want her If you think you can Rocka rolla woman for a rocka rolla man You can take her if you want her you can She's a grip and choke ya Heavy smoker Wrong side of the law Midnight shady Good time lady Heavy, ready show you what for Barroom fighter Ten pint a nighter Definite ninety-nine Diamond cluster Knuckle duster Feline on the borderline Rocka rolla woman for a rocka rolla man You can take her if you want her If you think you can Rocka rolla woman for a rocka rolla man You can take her if you want her you can |

Got no silver in my pockets
Got no pillow for my head And the winter it gets stronger Got to ease my aching head In the morning when I wake up Get this feeling deep inside And I wonder if I'll die young Or I'll go out of my mind I still get this awful feeling When the snow falls to the ground It still sends my senses reeling Knowing winter's come to town |

Now, winter wind fades from my face
My heart will no longer race Sun smiling down from the sky Melts away ice from my eye Warmth, eases back to my soul Bitterness shrugs then it goes... |
