Foot Of Pride
Like the lion tears the flesh off of a man
So can a woman who passes herself off as a male
They sang danny boy at his funeral and the lords prayer
Preacher talking bout christ betrayed
Its like the earth just opened and swallowed him up
He reached too high, was thrown back to the ground
You know what they say about bein nice to the right people on the way up
Sooner or later you gonna meet them comin down
Well, there aint no goin back when your foot of pride come down
Aint no goin back
Hear ya got a brother named james, dont forget faces or names
Sunken cheeks and his blood is mixed
He looked straight into the sun and said revenge is mine
But he drinks, and drinks can be fixed
Sing me one more song, about ya love me to the moon and the stranger
And your fall by the sword love affair with erroll flynn
In these times of compassion when conformitys in fashion
Say one more stupid thing to me before the final nail is driven in.
Well, there aint no goin back when your foot of pride come down
Aint no goin back
Theres a retired businessman named red, cast down from heaven and hes out of his head
He feeds off of everyone that he can touch
He said he only deals in cash or sells tickets to a plane crash
Hes not somebody that you play around with much
Miss delilah is his, a philistine is what she is
Shell do wondrous works with your fate
Feed you coconut bread, spice buns in your bed
If you dont mind sleepin with your head face down in a grave.
Well, there aint no goin back when your foot of pride come down
Aint no goin back
Well theyll choose a man for you to meet tonight
Youll play the fool and learn how to walk through doors
How to enter into the gates of paradise
No, how to carry a burden too heavy to be yours
Yeah, from the stage theyll be tryin to get water outta rocks
A whore will pass the hat, collect a hundred grand and say thanks
They like to take all this money from sin, build big universities to study in
Sing amazing grace all the way to the swiss banks
Well, there aint no goin back when your foot of pride come down
Aint no goin back
They got some beautiful people out there, man
They can be a terror to your mind and show you how to hold your tongue
They got mystery written all over their forehead
They kill babies in the crib and say only the good die young
They dont believe in mercy
Judgment on them is something that youll never see
They can exalt you up or bring you down main route
Turn you into anything that they want you to be
Well, there aint no goin back when your foot of pride come down
Aint no goin back
Yes, I guess I loved him too
I can still see him in my mind climbin that hill
Did he make it to the top, well he probably did and dropped
Struck down by the strength of the will
Aint nothin left here partner, just the dust of a plague that has left this whole town afraid
From now on, thisll be where youre from
Let the dead bury the dead. your time will come
Let hot iron blow as he raised the shade
Well, there aint no goin back when your foot of pride come down
Aint no goin back

I Aint Goin Nowhere
(tia sellers/mark sanders)
When the world is on your shoulders
Just too much to bear
Boy my love can make you stronger
I aint goin nowhere
When youre followin all the rules
But life will not play fair
Come to me and well roll with the punches
I aint goin no where
By your side, by your side day and night
I will be always
Theres a play in my heart, in my heart
Just for you always
I aint goin nowhere
I aint goin nowhere
I cant guarantee that your dreams
Wont fade into thin air
But as sure as Im livin breathin
I aint goin nowhere
By your side, by your side day and night
I will be always
Theres a play in my heart, in my heart
Just for you always
I aint goin nowhere
I aint goin nowhere
But straight to you
No one else would do
My love will shine right through your rain
I will left you up, I will lift you up
By your side, by your side day and night
I will be always
Theres a play in my heart, in my heart
Just for you always
I aint goin nowhere

Nowhere
If ever you wondered
If ever you were nervous about it
You gotta know,
I aint never,
Lemme say that again,
I aint never, goin nowhere
Listen to me
Last night I allmost cried when you told me
That you think you love me more than I love you
Sometimes it hurts to carry that burden alone
Lets be clear and get a few things straight
No ones ever gunna take your place in my heart
Nothing can measure the love that i've got for you
Im telling you
When im out in the club at night
You dont have to worry about a thing
Cuz I aint goin nowhere, I aint goin nowhere,
So my heart is telling me that you are the one
that im gon be with for the rest of my life
And I aint goin nowhere
I know you've heard it all before
You dont have to worry no more
Cuz I aint goin nowhere
Baby just trust me
As long as you love me
I aint never goin nowhere
I was lost and abandoned
Searching for the truth
Looking for that missing one
That missing one was you
The road was so tough
But you gave it up
Untill I found you and you made it
Worth the wait and worth the years
Worth the strength and worth the tears
And you dont know the half of it
But baby heres the rest of it
Did you know that your a gift far brighter than the sun?
Did you know that your a blessing, and im the lucky one
Did you know that I could never ask for a better love
Did you know that I would die, before I broke your heart
Did you know that if you left me, my world would fall apart
And never come back together, baby thats for real
So the next time that you tell me, you'll remember this
When im out in the club at night
You dont have to worry about a thing
Cuz I aint goin nowhere, I aint goin nowhere,
So my heart is telling me that you are the one
that im gon be with for the rest of my life
And I aint goin nowhere
I know you've heard it all before
You dont have to worry no more
Cuz I aint goin nowhere
Baby just trust me
As long as you love me
I aint never goin nowhere
When im out in the club at night
You dont have to worry about a thing
Cuz I aint goin nowhere, I aint goin nowhere,
So my heart is telling me that you are the one
that im gon be with for the rest of my life
And I aint goin nowhere
I know you've heard it all before
You dont have to worry no more
Cuz I aint goin nowhere
Baby just trust me
As long as you love me
I aint never goin nowhere

Goin To Acapulco
Im going down to rose maries
She never does me wrong.
She puts it to me plain as day
And gives it to me for a song.
Its a wicked life but what the hell
The stars aint falling down.
Im standing outside the taj mahal
I dont see no one around.
Goin to acapulco
Goin on the run.
Goin down to see fat gut
Goin to have some fun.
Yeah goin to have some fun.
Now, whenever I get up
And I aint got what I see
I just make it down to rose maries
bout a quarter after three.
There are worse ways of getting there
And I aint complainin none.
If the clouds dont drop and the train dont stop
Im bound to meet the sun.
Goin to acapulco
Goin on the run.
Goin down to see some girl
Goin to have some fun.
Yeah goin to have some fun.
Now, if someone offers me a joke
I just say no thanks.
I try to tell it like it is
And keep away from pranks.
Well, sometime you know when the well breaks down
I just go pump on it some.
Rose marie, she likes to go to big places
And just set there waitin for me to come.
Goin to acapulco
Goin on the run.
Goin down to see some girl
Goin to have some fun.
Yeah goin to have some fun.

All I know is what Im feeling inside
Right now, baby

And it aint gonna change overnight

Seeing what I wanna see

Showed me what I hadnt seen, yeah, yeah

Ive lead a lifetime fightin this land
Workin for nothin with these dry and callused hands
Im a slave to the sun it aint cuttin me no slack
Gets me beggin whenever I look back
Aint no glory in this livin
Aint no runnin from your sins
I hope theres angels where Im goin
Aint no angels where Ive been
Three generations countin on me
To work this farm keep it in the family
Well Ive done all I can but its past becomin clear
That I cant hold out much longer here
Aint no glory in this livin
Aint no runnin from your sins
I hope theres angels where Im goin

Back To The Trenches
Presidents and peace spreading poets
Getting gunned down in the streets
Shown to us on our prime time screens
For our tea time treat
Lunatics we voted for denying
Everything that they swore
We sit around and shout about it
But we dont do nothing more
Drafted for police action
But they decided on a war
Telling us we were saving mankind
Why dont you ask cambodia
We were solving it with marijuana
We were sure that we could
Always leavin it to someone else
Just knocking on wood
Were goin back to the trenches
Were goin back to the trenches
Well you say you got a say so
But youre knowin that it aint so
And you turn away
You think its safer to ignore it
But the score is your children have to pay
Everybody wants better
Everybody talkin bout it
Are we wastin time
Gotta stop only lookin, talkin
Were all guilty of the crime
Were goin back to the trenches
Were goin back to the trenches
We gotta move, we got everything to lose
We gotta move, we got everything to lose
Were all headed for the front
But everybodys fightin for a good address
Its time we made the changes
Or well be burnin with the rest
We just aint communicatin and I dont
Mean conversations on the telephone
When nero starts to fiddle this time
Theres a lot more gonna burn than rome
Were goin back to the trenches
Were goin back to the trenches
Were goin back to the trenches
Were goin back to the trenches

Your eyes shine line diamonds
And those kisses sure make me scream

And never let another girl thrill my heart
Aint that loving you baby?
Aint that loving you baby?
Aint that loving you baby?
Aint that loving you so?
I could meet a hundred girls and have loads of fun
My huggin and my kissin belong to just one
Aint that loving you baby?

Aint that loving you baby?
Aint that loving you so?
If you gave me nine lives like a tommy cat
Id give em all to you and never take one back
Aint that loving you baby?

Aint that loving you baby?
Aint that loving you so?

I Aint Runnin Yet
(jamie o hara/gary nicholson)
Ive come to see its a pattern with me
To make a fast getaway
Everytime I get a little too near to love
Somebody gets too close
The next thing I know
Im up and gone again
Chasin the wind and the distant stars above
Ah girl
But I dont know whats been goin on
Since the night we met
All I know is
I aint runnin yet
Girl I can see when you look at me
Youre lookin for a sign
That somewhere in this heart of mine theres a place for you
But I want you to know
When those feelings show
Thats what chases me away
But tonight I just gotta stay and see this through
Ah girl
But I dont know whats been goin on
Since the night we met
All I know is
I aint runnin yet
I aint runnin away from the love I see so deep in your eyes
I aint runnin away and I cant even say just why
Oh I dont know whats been going on since the night we met
All I know is I aint runnin yet
I aint runnin away from the love I see so deep in your eyes
I aint runnin away and I cant even say just why
Oh I dont know whats been going on since the night we met
All I know is I aint runnin yet
Girl I dont know whats been goin on

All I know is

Aint Love Strange
Wel l, it can get you in the back boy
Or you can lie around in roses
Or maybe walk around wonderin
You know, goin through the motions
Hey aint love strange?
Hey aint love strange?
Boy talk about changes
Aint love strange?
cause it can make you string barb-wire
Around your little piece of ground
For emotional protection
Oh, but its too late now
Hey aint love strange?
Hey aint love strange?
Boy talk about changes
Aint love stra nge?
Some keep tryin it, giving and denying it
And I dont know why it is I guess you never quit
Tryin to make sense of it
cause it can feel like perfection,
But never all the time
And you dont wanna be alone again
Oh my, my
Hey aint love strange?
Hey aint love strange?
Boy talk about changes
Aint love strange?

Id rather be in some dark hollow where the sun dont ever shine
Then to be at home alone and knowin that youre gone
Would cause me to lose my mind.
Well blow your whistle freight train carry me far on down the track
Well Im going away, Im leaving today
Im goin, but I aint comin back.

Then to be in some big city, in a small room, with you upon my mind.

Geese in flight and dogs that bite
Signs that might be omens say I going, going
Im goin to carolina in my mind
With a holy host of others standing round me
Still Im on the dark side of the moon
And it seems like it goes on like this forever
You must forgive me

Rocks In My Bed
My heart is heavy as lead
Because the blues has done spread
Rocks in my bed
Of all the people I see
Why do they pick on poor me
And put rocks in my bed
All night long I weep
So how can I sleep
With rocks in my bed
Theres only two kinds of people
I cant understand
Theres only two kinds of people
I cant understand
Thats a deceitful woman
And a hard faced man
She took my man away
And aint goin bring him back
She took my man away
And aint goin bring him back
Shes lower than a snake down in a wagon track

If It Dont Take Two
It takes two to tango
And two lips to seal a kiss
But a flame and a candle
Wont burn on a night like this
If it dont take two
It takes two to go one way
And two winds to be strong enough
But you cant sail on a still day
Like two ships on a sea of love
If it dont take two
Noah knew what he had to do
Ooh oh yeah
He sent us out in the world walkin two by two
Oh...
If it dont take two
If it dont take two
If it dont take two
And if Im not with you
No it aint worth goin through
If it dont take two
It takes two hearts with one beat
And it takes two to say I do
But the champagne wont taste sweet
And the dream just wont come true
If it dont take two
Noah knew what he had to do, oh yeah
He sent us out in the world walkin two by two, me and you
If it dont take two
If it dont take two
If it dont take two
And if Im not with you
No it aint worth goin through
If it dont take two
He sent us out in the world walkin two by two
