Never Enough
Seems the world needs a change in its attitude
It doesnt seem like theres much that a man can do
They try to sell the earth on a wild crusade
Then complain about not bein paid
How can some people have the nerve, hell hasnt froze but its on the verge
Its gone way past the point of greed, how many lifetimes will we need
Chorus:
cause its never enough, they keep on takin till they take too much
cause its never enough, it wont be long until they run out of luck
Weve been bought and sold for a thousand years
And all I got to show is a six pack full of tears
And all the while the fat cats they watch from the hill<
Nothins changed, it never has an never will
You better strap on your sharpest spurs
For the ride of your life, cause its gonna hurt
You cant say you didnt ask for this
Its too late to find somebodys ass to kick
Chorus
(instrumental break)
Whos got the money and who gets the rent
By the time its all over, you aint got a cent, hey, hey
How can some people have the nerve, hell hasnt froze but its on the verge
Its gone way past the point of greed, how many lifetimes will we need

Get me out of this rock and roll hell, take me far away

I Use To Have Money One Time
I use to have money one time
By: jimmy buffett, michael utley
1983
For harrison and hunter
I had cadillacs in my future
Debutantes in my past
I made a deal with the devil for a whole lotta money
Thinkin it would last and last
But a fool and his money are bound to part
And what goes up must come down
Take my advice dont trust the roll of the dice
Keep your feet on solid ground
Chorus:
I used to have money one time
Life of adventure and crime
I used to have money one time
Lots of women and wine
But whos gonna tell a fool? whos gonna tell a fool?
Whos gonna tell a fool? that he aint cool (he aint cool!)
Now thems were hard times back in the eighties boy
People barely had enough to get by
Oh not me foot loose and fancy free
There was nothin to myself Id deny
But fellas listen to my story now
Though you have heard this tale before
Take care of your needs and watch out for you greeds
Or that wolf will be at your door
Chorus:
I used to have money one time
Life of adventure and crime
I used to have money one time
Now I aint got a dime
But whos gonna be the fool? whos gonna be the fool?
Whos gonna be the fool? still aint cool (it aint cool)
Whos gonna tell a fool? whos gonna tell a fool?
Whos gonna tell a fool? still aint cool (it aint cool)

Hell High Water
By dickey betts
(c) 1980 emi blackwood music inc. and pangola publishing company
Weve been through hell and high water,
Ready to go through it all again.
As long as weve got a quarter between us all,
Were gonna have money to spend, oh.
Kicked down the doors in new orleans,
We got busted at grove hill where nobody goes,
And long bob drove us to the badlands,
You can bet your ass were gonna make it down to tomorrow nights show.
Chorus:
We took time by the horns,
Cryin out loud,
Stood there naked up there in front of the crowd,
Been a million miles,
On a lost highway,
They might name a street after us one of these days.
Oh, weve seen the good times, weve seen the bad.
Worse time we ever seen, is the best some folks ever had,
And the stone mowed us down, with a cold-hearted quill,
But we aint changed our ways, and I guess we never will.

My Way
Oh the heat is on, and my backs against the wall
You know its tough to be strong, in a world that makes you crawl
Im never gonna stop, Im never gonna give up in the fight
cause after the battle is done, all youve got left is your pride
Chorus:
Im gonna talk like I talk, walk like I walk my way
Im gonna go where I go, aint takin no my way
Here in the danger zone, its a jagged edge we climb
But if you take it like stone, and stand on your own
You can make the grade in time
Im never gonna run, Im never gonna tell myself a lie
cause after its all said and done, I wont be wonderin why
And Ill know that under the gun, I am the one whos got the right to decide
Chorus
And if you dont play my game I wont play, Im gonna do it my way
Im never gonna run, Im never gonna tell myself a lie
cause after its all said and done, Ive got the right to decide

How Many Times
How many years keep on slipping away
And it seems that your life doesnt matter, you never had a chance
How many ways is a love torn apart
And you look to your heart for some answers, dont let it slip away
Cant blame myself anymore, Ive been beaten and accused before
Well I took some bad advice, and I paid too high a price
I could sell my soul, you know I wouldnt think twice
Chorus:
How many times must a man fall down, I said whoa-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh
How many dreams have to fall to the ground
It goes on an on an on an on an on, yeah
How many times do you look for some sign
That theres hope, and your life has some meaning, almost every day, hey, hey
Maybe I was born to wander, I got no high hopes any longer
So tell me my friend, just where does it end
Is nothin ever gonna free me from this hell Im livin in

Cars are bigger and better
But the manufacturers sastified never
In a world full of crime

My Luck Wont Change
Refrain:
The cances you gave me,
A definite maybe,
But luck shes a lady,stayed
She played for me.
Theres gold in the mountain,
Good fortune for countin,
Three coins in the fountain,
And my luck wont change,
Take dust from the coalmine,
Make dust from the goldmine,
King midas youre sidelined,
And my luck wont change no my luck remains.
Chorus:
No point in shouting,
Whoever there was doudting,
Im at the top of the mountain,
And my luck wont change.
The stock market read it,
The rumours they spread it,
And I meant it when I said it,
That my luck wont change,
No my luck remains.
That old lover lost me,
She spent and she cost me,
My new love has taught me,
That my luck wont change.
(my luck wont change-my luck remains)
Refrain:
The offer she made me,
Was more than just maybe,
But luck whos a lady stayed,
She played for me.
Repeat 1st verse

No point in disguising,
The phoenix is arising,
And my luck wont change-no it just remains.

Kick Down The Walls
Took the long way to the shortcut, and the walls were made of stone
Took the low road to the highground, had to feel it in my bones
Everybody wants some heaven, but nobody wants to die
Its been brought to my attention
Youll be dead a long time, now aint that a crime
Chorus:
Kick down the walls, shake down the building, help me bust out of this cage
Kick down the walls, shake down the building, must be time for a change
I went driving in the moonlight, there was no place left to go
I went digging in my coalmine, when I hit the motherload
If this world could work together, like a big old human clock
It would run on till forever, it would never have to stop, never have to stop
Chorus
(instrumental break)
You cant buy no protection, dont care who you are
Spreading out in all directions, now its no hold barred
Everybody runs for cover, from the sun and sex and sin
If you think you got the answers, buddy just you come on in, step right in

Somebody blew up a building
Somebody stole a car
Somebody got away
Somebody didnt get too far yeah

Grandpappy told my pappy, back in my day, son
A man had to answer for the wicked that he done
Take all the rope in texas
Find a tall oak tree, round up all of them bad boys
Hang them high in the street for all the people to see that
Chorus:
Justice is the one thing you should always find
You got to saddle up your boys
You got to draw a hard line
When the gun smoke settles well sing a victory tune
Well all meet back at the local saloon
Well raise up our glasses against evil forces
Singing whiskey for my men, beer for my horses
We got too many gangsters doing dirty deeds
Weve got too much corruption, too much crime in the streets
Its time the long arm of the law put a few more in the ground
Send em all to their maker and hell settle em down

Just need a little streak of good luck

Well it wont take me long
To get my feet back on solid ground
But now Im down
When I get my life back in order again
Well Ill still be willing to help out my friends
And if you need some body or wished it had been, look around

And they dont do what you want them to
They treat you nice just to get a prize
And once they get it then theyre through with you
Get your digits to call you back, you never hear form them again thats wack!
He tells you, your the only one thats fact
Then hits your friend up behind your back

And lost his wallet, how he doesnt know
He asked you if, youd pay the bill
Hell pay you back, oh yea I bet he will

Hell probably use it for a pack of smoke
(a pack of smoke) you know the kind
It makes you tipsy like a bottle of wine
They like to bite, they like to fight
They like howl at every girl in site
They like to beg, they like to whine
They like to smell at every stray behind

And theres nothing I can do now
Out of control (out of control)
Spinning softly through the blue now
And look beyond these walls
As the meaning starts to dawn
Its getting to the point
Getting to the point.
Its out of control (nothing I can do)

And the thoughts just keep returning
And all you had to say
Was that you were gonna stay
Its getting to the point
Getting to the point.

Where nobody can stop it now

Watch it burn, burn, burn

Its getting to the point
Where no one knows
And all that I can do
Is say Im sorry

Thrown away another day
Sitting in the Caf all day

Theres a mountain and its mighty high
U cannot see the top unless u fly
And theres a molehill of proven ground
There aint no where 2 go if u hang around
Everybody wants 2 sell whats already been sold
Everybody wants 2 tell whats already been told
Whats the use of money if u aint gonna break the mold?
Even at the center of fire there is cold
All that glitters aint gold
All that glitters aint gold, mmm
Theres an ocean of despair
There are people livin there
Theyre unhappy each and every day
But hell is not fashion so what u tryin 2 say?
