Wise Hitch-Hiker Handbook
I walked the highway
There's no car pool lane
But there's four or five in my brain
no pain
Mountains
Over
Dead
Princess croumbling
Days of my career
Hangin' on chandeliers
Take out some beer tonite
All right
Through The
Eastern
waves
Hitch-hiked to Dallas
The car was clean
The seats so warm
I fell asleep
Time was set aside
Oh yeah!

Dallas
[ jimmie dale gilmore ]
Chorus:
Did you ever see dallas from a dc-9 at night?
Dallas is a jewel
Yeah, dallas is a beautiful sight
Dallas is a jungle
But dallas gives a beautiful light
Did you ever see dallas from a dc-9 at night?
Now dallas is a woman who will walk on you when youre down
But when you are up shes the kind you wanna take around
Now dallas aint a woman to help you get your feet on the ground
And dallas is a woman who will walk on you when youre down
Oh, I came into dallas with the bright lights on my mind
I came into dallas with a dollar and a dime
Dallas is a rich man with a death wish in his eyes
A steel concrete soul with a warm-hearted love in disguise
A rich man who tends to believe in his own lies
I say, dallas is a rich man with a death wish in his yes
Oh, I came into dallas with the brights lights on my mind
I came into dallas with a dollar and a dime

Highway hard run, sure runs, sure hard
Highway hard run, sure runs, sure hard
Just got into montreal
Were looking for relief, but that aint all (oh yeah)
The riot squads on full alert
Esp. for the one that wears a skirt (oh yeah)
Woman I need someone, cant be just anyone
I need someone who knows the way
Walked into this smoke-filled bar
The bands a joke, yeah the singers gone too far (ooh yeah)
But the waiter said shed soon be here
Now should I go or have another beer (oh yeah)
Just let me hold you tight, everything feels so nice
Let me just whisper in your ear (kiss my gut)
Highway hard run, sure runs, sure hard
Highway hard run, sure runs, sure hard
Woman I need someone, cant be just anyone
I need someone who knows the way
Just let me hold you tight, everything feels so nice
Let me just whisper in your ear

Needing Advice
(Son) Hey, Dad, have you got a minute? Actually
it's a little complicated. Could you meet me
at Cuss from Hoe over a beer or two?
(Dad) Now you have got me worried, big spender.
What's up?
(Son) I need some advice.
(Dad) O.K., see you in about twenty minutes.
(Dad) Well, son, I think I need something stronger
than two beers.
Are you sure he is dead?
(Son) Yeah, he is not breathing.
(Dad) And he is in your apartment?
(Son) Yeah, he came downstairs to watch the ball game. We
had a couple of beers and I fell asleep on the couch.
Next thing, I wake up and there he is lying on the floor
in a pool of blood.
(Dad) And he is still there?
(Son) Yeah, he is dead, Dad. He can't leave.
(Dad) Did he ever pay you back the money he owed you, that you owe me.
(Son) No, that's why I checked his wallet to see if that was his
intention, to pay me back.
(Dad) And what did you find?
(Son) His wallet was empty, nothing in it.
How do I explain that to the cops, Dad?
(Dad) Holy Moley, how do you get yourself into these messes?
We've got to throw his wallet in the river, get back to
your place, break a window, empty your wallet, and after
I have punched you out, I'll call the police.
(Son) Thanks, Dad, I knew you'd think of something,
except Gus at Cuss from Hoe heard us talking.
(Dad) Yeah, but he was the only one there and he owes me
$20 grand. He said he'll pay me tonight.
Want to take care of it?
(Son) Sure, Dad.

Tonite
(graham russell)
Now you tell me that the time is right
Youve let your feeling go
And you know I wont use them up too fast
I cant promise you the best there is
But ooh, Im gonna try
Im never gonna let you go tonite
Tonite, the start of a love to remember
Tonite, a love that will never be ended
Tonite, tonite
Let me take you where theres no return
Where dreams can all come true
Ive got the feeling weve been holding on too long
What were feeling is ours alone
No one will ever know
Just how we feel about tonite
Tonite, the start of a love to remember
Tonite, a love that will never be ended
Tonite, tonite
How many times has love fallen through
When I left it all up to you
I took your words when you said
Its got to be just right
I need you now I need you now
Tonite, the start of a love to remember
Tonite, a love that will never be ended
Tonite, tonite

Dum, dum, dum, it's the sound, it's the sound...
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah....
Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her whole worlds come undone
From lookin' straight at the sun
What did her daddy do
What did he put you through
They say when Janie was arrested
They found him underneath a train
But man, he had it comin'
Now that Janie's got a gun
She ain't never gonna be the same
Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her dog days just begun
Now everybody is on the run
Tell me now it's untrue
What did her daddy do
He jacked the little bitty baby
The man has got to be insane
They say the spell that he was under
The lightnin' and the thunder
Knew that someone had to stop the rain
Run away, run away from the pain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Run away, run away from the pain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Run away, run away, run, run away
Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Her dog days just begun
Now everybody is on the run
What did her daddy do
It's Janie's las i.o.u.
She had to take him down easy
And put a bullet in his brain
She said cause nobody believes me
The man was such a sleeze
He ain't never gonna be the same
Run away, run away from the pain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Run away, run away, run, run away
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Run away, run away, run, run away
Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Janie's got a gun
Everybody is on the run
Janie's got a gun
Her dog days just begun
Now everybodys on the run (honey, honey whats your problem)
cause Janie's got a gun (tell me it ain't right)
Janie's got a gun (was it daddy's cradle robbin)
Her dog days just begun (that made you scream at night)
Janie's got a gun
Her dog days just begun
Now everybody's on the run

Followin his dreams, bein his own man

Usually cloudy, is morning, thoughts are clear, yeah

You Can Get There From Here
My dear friend you're hooked on drugs-You've lost your husband and your career-You want your old life back-And the things you held so dear-You want to get clean and sober-Free of drugs, whiskey, and beer-If you do a whole lof of praying-ou can get there from here-You can't find strength to break the habit-Often you wished you were dead-Each day when you wake up-You don't want to get out of bed-Your parents are so broken-hearted -Because you ended up this way-You fell in with the wrong crowd-And your life went astray.

Soiled Garments
He had a vindictive
wife once
who used his pliable
pledged heart
like an old worn
out hand-towel.
Wiped her feet
all over it
walked walked
all over it
then tore it
into strips
and threw it
to the garbage.
The funny thing is
old worn out hearts
don’t wash clean.
Soiled garments
don’t come clean
a single good soak
and clean
is not applicable.
Doesn’t wash out
all the stains.
Doesn’t wash out
the ground in pain.
Ground in deep pain
residue remains.
But time repeated washes
a good stain remover
love joy drying out on
life line bleach washes
old hearts clean with
radiant rays vibrant
sunlight sheen revealing
each days new wonder.

Alzuna
The forest of Alzuna hides a pool.
Beside that pool, a shadowy tree up-towers.
High on that tree, a bough most beautiful
Bends with the fragrant burden of its flowers.
Among those flowers a nest is buried deep.
Warm in that nest, there lies a freckled shell.
Packed in that shell, a bird is fast asleep.
This is the incantation and the spell.
For, when the north wind blows, the bird will cry,
“Warm in my freckled shell, I lie asleep.
The freckled shell is in the nest on high.
The nest among the flowers is buried deep.
The flowers are on a bough most beautiful.
The bough is on a tree no axe can fell.
The sky is at its feet in yonder pool.
This is the incantation and the spell!”

Pain
Welcome to my little world...completely self-contained, yeah
Your problems they will soon be gone (we soak up lots of pain), yeah
If life is a reflecting pool--then we are like a sponge, yeah
Absorbing the good with the bad--we soak up...soak it up
So give me all your troubled thoughts
And baggage you cant handle, no
Well gladly take it off your back (we soak up lots of pain), yeah
(chorus)
Is it any wonder now-everybody goes insane
Everybody locks the door to keep out any strangers
Everybodys all pent up--everybodys got short fuse
Getting ready to blow up, we live in so much danger
Boys and girls in a line -- come and get your big reward
Yourre not too late just in time
Put your hand on mine youre mine youre mine
When everybody has gone to bed--and children are asleep, yeah
I sit up late and watch t.v. (and soak up lots of pain), yeah
Little junior on the bus--his notebook by his side, yeah
He hardly ever makes a fuss--he soaks up so much pain
Weve traveled far this monkey and me--by airplane boat and train, yeah
Were here to eat up all your sins (and soak up all your pain), yeah
(chorus)
Boys and girls of every creed--religion and persuasion, nooo
Its time to get up off your knees...we soak up...soak it up
So open the door and let me in--dont question who I am, no
Just shake my hand and give me your name (we soak up...soak it up...)

A sinner I may be
But I've just got to try
My luck with you
Secret smile upon your face
So don't look down
Don't hide your grace
Let me find you
Cos I can't get over the way
You look tonite
Blow me away
The way you look tonite
Tell me to go away

River Shannon
Oh Shannon
I might be dreaming'
The stars fell down on the factory
The cathedrals repeating, the light receding
Bells on another day
Have you ever seen my face
Fast asleep and dreaming'?
Oh Shannon
The lightning' fell
There's an army down by the riverside
But I might be dreaming'
I can see that you don't believe me
And I might be dreaming'
If I dip into your water
Fall through my reflection
I will shadow myself anyway
Have you ever seen my face
Fast asleep and dreaming'?
And it don't seem right
That I don't get no sleep at night
What's the river gonna know about leaving'?
Oh Shannon
The soldiers are coming'
The guns are drumming' the night away
Rain, rain go away
Come again some other day
When I got time for believing'
Have you ever seen my face
Fast asleep and dreaming'?
Yeah! What is there left to believe in?!
Oh Shannon
I might be dreaming'
I might be wasting' my life away
listening' to you
Down on under the streetlight
You shudder and beat
The edge of the waterway
And I know if I had time
I might dive in your water
Lie right down in the evening rain
I just want this pain, pain to go away
Come again some other day
When I got time for bleeding'
Have you ever seen my face
Fast asleep and dreaming'?
And it don't seem right that I don't get no sleep at night
What's the river gonna know about leaving'?
Oh Shannon
I might be dreaming

Mountains
Once upon a time in a land called fantasy
17 mountains stood so high.
The sea surrounded them and together they would be
The only thing that ever made u cry
U said the devil told u that another mountain would appear
Everytime somebody broke your heart
He said the sea would 1 day overflow with all your tears,
And love will always leave u lonely
But I say its only mountains and the sea
Love will conquer if u just believe (oh yeah)
Its only mountains and the sea
Theres nothing greater, u and me
Once upon a time in a haystack of despair,
Happiness sometimes hard 2 find. (yeah)
Africa divided, hijack in the air,
Its enough to make you want to lose your mind
But I say its only mountains and the sea
Love will conquer if u just believe (oh yeah)
Its only mountains and the sea
Theres nothing greater, u and me
Guitars and drums on the 1
(bobby on the drum - ah!)
Its only mountains (oh yeah) and the sea. (and the girls sing)
Theres nothing greater, u and me
