Your heart's on the loose You rolled them seven's with nothing lose And this ain't no place for the weary kind
You called all your shots Shooting 8 ball at the corner truck stop Somehow this don't feel like home anymore
And this ain't no place for the weary kind And this ain't no place to lose your mind And this ain't no place to fall behind Pick up your crazy heart and give it one more try
Your body aches Playing your guitar and sweating out the hate The days and the nights all feel the same
Whiskey has been a thorn in your side and it doesn't forget the highway that calls for your heart inside
And this ain't no place for the weary kind And this ain't no place to lose your mind And this ain't no place to fall behind Pick up your crazy heart and give it one more try
Your lovers won't kiss It's too damn far from your fingertips You are the man that ruined her world
Your heart's on the loose You rolled them seven's with nothing lose And this ain't no place for the weary kind
The man come to shake my hand, and rob me of my farm. I shot 'em dead and I hung my head, and drove off his in his car. So on the run with a smokin' gun, lookin' for the coast. Of all the things I've had and lost, your love I miss the most. And hell will have to pay, I went a little bit too far I'd say. Half drunk I stumble on the whiskey from the bar. Sleepin' on the Santa Monica pier with the junkies and the stars. For when I woke a spanish cross, was reachin' for my hand. Then the stranger took the place, the words I couldn't understand.
And there's nothin' but the ground, it's the only place I found. Where I can lay my head in town. Down on the boulevard, the sidewalk shuffles change. Cracked out from the night before, hallucinatin' in the rain. So borrowed me a quarter for a call to the other side. I told God that the whole damn world was waitin' in line to die. But not me, this time. I left the trouble far behind. And he tied his arm off one more time. The man come to shake my hand, and rob me of my farm.
If I held my breath in the morning Would I wake up for a lifetime Lose my job in this depression Well I don’t care cause I got your love
In this depression All I need is you In this depression What is there to lose
If I held your hand in this town They would lock me up for possession But now there strung out on heroin And weve gone out to California
In this depression Breaks my heart in two In this depression All I need is you
I could make some friends down at the courthouse Get bailed out and go on welfare Id rather lay down in a pine box Then to sell my heart to a fucking wasteland
In this depression Its just me and you In this depression What are we to do In this depression Breaks my heart in two In this depression All I need is you
If I held my breath in the morning Would I wake up in a new land Follow you forever Dance all night in this depression
In this depression In this depression In this depression In this depression
The other day I found myself up on the corner I thought I run into a friend of mine Ended up that he was just a stranger I said hello as he passed me by
But then he turned and put a gun to my head He said, My friend I'm going to rob you blind I said You must be down on your luck I'm out of money and I'm all out of time
He pulled the trigger and I fell to my knees My spirit left and then my body went cold I'm looking down upon the lights of the city I feel alive, but I'm dead and gone
Ain't no more walking down the side of the road Ain't no more sleeping on the edge of a frown Ain't no more favors from someone I don't know cause there ain't nobody hear me, there ain't nobody around
Hallelujah, coming home Hallelujah, he's dead and gone Hallelujah, somethings wrong Hallelujah
So tell me now if your singing can bring me Another day with my feet on the ground I miss living and living misses me I miss it so much that im holding me down
For all the things that I never could change For all the reasons that I never understood why
I feel alone, baby I'm dead and gone, baby There's somethings wrong cause you know I still feel alive
My train is rolling down the line And I'm waiting till it to bring me a dream For holding you up in my eyes Oh feel my love, honey From up above, honey Oh don't give up on me cause im coming down
I'm not a one nighter I'm not a flat liner I've everything in between the harmony you're singing loud
Hallelujah, coming home Hallelujah, it's dead and gone Hallelujah, somethings wrong Hallelujah, it's just a song
The other day I found myself up on the corner I thought I run into a friend of mine
Well, I shook the hand of a weeping sparrow And heard the most beautiful tune Laid myself down upon a field of flowers And searched through my dreams to find you And lost all of yesterday's blues
And I walked in circles confused and scattered And stumbled around as a fool Lost in the maze of veins in my heart 'Til I woke up unconscious with you And let go of yesterday's blues
'Cause you have a way that lets me breathe And you have a way that sets me free And you have a heart that can see right through The bitterness of my yesterday's blues
Down in a city of shelters and shambles I thought I had nothing to lose I took for granted the wise words of strangers And gambled until I was through And lost all of yesterday's blues
'Cause you have a way that sets me free And you have a way that lets me breathe And you have a heart that can see right through The bitterness of my yesterday's blues
Well, I shook the hand of the deepest sorrow And waved a goodbye just to lose Laid myself down below the endless towers And searched through my dreams to find you And lost all of yesterday's blues
There's just no time for the agenda The lame and fickle feuds No time for all these bribes that keep A poor man sewin' shoes In a box
There's just no time for propaganda Or media filled with hate No time for scripted messages That slither around like snakes In your brain
When people all around Are startin' to begin To understand that here and now Is what we're livin' in
Yesterday is gone So that a new day can begin And it seems there's been A change of direction In the wind
There's just no time for talkin' prejudice Of different colored fellows No time for cruel harassment Of the strippers in stilettos On the boulevard
There's just no time for these traditions Tyin' people down to class When everyone's a shade of green That suffers in the grass Of greed
When people all around Are startin' to begin To understand that here and now Is what we're livin' in
Yesterday is gone So that a new day can begin And it seems there's been A change of direction In the wind
There's just no time for the delusion No use for stealin' dreams No time for the intentions When you say let freedom rin' On foreign land
There's just no time for the reflection Without recognizin' crimes No time for all the rules that limit Human equal rights To this day
When people all around Are startin' to begin To understand that here and now Can be powered by the wind
Yesterday is gone So that a new day can begin And it seems there's been A change of direction In the wind
No time for all these factories Of guilt and all the glues No time for this supply If this demand can never chose To eat healthy
There's just no time for the control Of what we do and what we say No time for all these holy wars With Gods out on display What happened to peace and love?
When people all around Are startin' to begin To understand that here and now Is what we're livin' in
Yesterday is gone So that a new day can begin And it seems there's been A change of direction In the wind
Out along the hardest trail Set your mind at ease Laid the sun down upon the hill Fell into the sea
Left your heart on that hard worn trail Left your family on that hard worn trail Left for dead on that hard worn trail Damned to hell on that hard worn trail
Days were lost and remembered when You shed your eyes of fear Awareness of a debt repaid Soon to disappear
Bled out till empty on that hard worn trail Crazy in your eyes on that hard worn trail Tossin' and a-turnin' on that hard worn trail Losin' your damn mind on that hard worn trail
Passin' sky brings forever miles Somehow closer to you Feelin' age is all unclear Something you can't choose
'Cause mile after mile on that hard worn trail Blood, sweat and trial on that hard worn trail Dancin' in the fire on that hard worn trail Sweatin' out thin demons on that hard worn trail
Kickin' and a-screamin' down that hard worn trail Beggin' for some mercy on that hard worn trail Singin' of forgiven on that hard worn trail To be lost in a vision on that hard worn trail
'Cause time was a-tickin' on that hard worn trail Your heart beat a rhythm on that hard worn trail You was a-gettin' down that on that hard worn trail Hard worn trail, hard worn trail, hard worn trail
I'm all choked up again With these two hands and the rage I'm in I think I just killed a man
I think it was my old man I hadn't seen him in years and now he's bleedin' tears And his head is in the palm of my hand
All choked up again Have you ever met up a little command That couldn't break a pool boy's chin? And here it all is again
Went all in I got stuck in a jam That's what you get when you're a gamblin' man That's what you get when you're a gamblin' man
Well, every day you seem to dig a little deeper Into nothin' that is left behind Up all night 'til it's early in the mornin' And the whole damn world's on fire
I close my eyes and I wanna start runnin' But my legs are broken and tied Everything around me starts spinnin' And I realize I'm buried alive
This ain't no place for kids But when you're raised in a bucket of rain You either die or you learn to swim You either die or you learn to swim
I just need to see my baby again She took my hand there from where it began Said she would love me with trouble I was in Said she would love me with trouble I was in
And every day I seem to dig a little deeper Into nothin' that is left behind Up all night 'til it's early in the mornin' And the whole damn world's on fire
I close my eyes and I wanna start runnin' But my legs are broken and tied And everything around me starts spinnin' And I realize I'm buried alive
I'm all choked up again With these two hands and the rage I'm in I think I just killed a man
Take it easy mama Lay your head down Hold on to my lovin We're both gonna need it now Take it easy mama Lay your head down Rest your head on my shoulder It's a long way into town
It's hard When you're alone It's hard When everybodys free
Take it easy mama Lay your head down Hold on to my lovin We're both gonna need it now Take it easy mama Lend me your smile Let your falling head come down Ground me with your smile
It's hard When you're alone It's hard When everybodys free It's hard When you're alone It's hard When everybodys stoned
Take it easy mama Lay your head down Let your falling head come down Ground me with your smile Take it easy mama Lay your head down Hold on to my lovin We're both gonna need it now
