The Watchmans Gone
Just like birds of a feather
We too have followed the golden sun
It feels so good,
Knowin the watchmans gone
If I give you a rose, buddy
Would you please bury it in the fields?
I seen a rose
Watchin it all fold out
Theres a train down at the station
Its come to carry my bones away
Two engines on
Twenty-one coaches long
End to end
Twenty-one coaches bend
The watchmans out
Kickin the bums about
If I wait for the right moment
You can bet Ill climb aboard unseen
Ive done it before
I know I can do it in my sleep
The watchmans out
Kickinthe bums about
The watchmans out
Kickin your dreams about
As I leave you in the sunset
Got one more nothin Id like to say
You dont know me
A son of the sea am i
As I say to you, my brother
If you live to follow the golden sun
You better beware
Knowin the watchmans always there
If you find me feedin daisies
Please turn my face up to the sky
And leave me be
Watchin the moon roll by
Whatever I was
You know it was all because
Ive been on the town
Washin the bullshit down
The watchmans out
Kickin your dreams about
It feels so good
Knowin the watchmans gone
Its like a song
Knowin the watchmans gone

You Couldve Been The One
Written by john batdorf and sue sheridan, 1980
Found on alibi and ventura highway and other favorites.
Theres a bright light thats shinin in your face
You cant even see me at all
Oh, you look like an angel out of place
At this downtown devils bar
Do you wanna dance girl
You said no thanks
And I watched you drift away
Well you had your chance
You couldve been the one
Tonight you couldve been the only one
For the rest of my life
Ill be dreamin of you when this dance is done
Knowin you couldve been the one
If I come back here I might see you again
And maybe youd say yes
But its a losin game Im tryin to win
And I can only guess
Do you have somebody (watchin)
Who watches you
As you let down your hair
By the light of the moon
You couldve been the one
Tonight you couldve been the only one
For the rest of my life
Ill be dreamin of you when this dance is done
Knowin you couldve been the one
Knowin you couldve been the one
Where do you go when the night ends
Are you just a dream that fades into gray
Visions of you will not leave me alone
Why did you have to turn away
You couldve been the one
Tonight you couldve been the only one
For the rest of my life
Ill be dreamin of you when this dance is done
Knowin you couldve been the one
Tonight you couldve been the only one
For the rest of my life
Ill be dreamin of you when this dance is done
Knowin you couldve been the one ...

Id Just As Soon Go
You say you want to talk it over
Want to try again
But theres no way of workin out
This love that were not in
We could talk and talk and accomplish nothin
Weve tried it all before
Its time somebody did some walkin
And I can see the door
So Id just as soon go
Id just as soon say goodbye
Theres no reason to prolong
What we should just let die
And Id just as soon stop
Id just as soon end the madness
Knowin what I know
Id just as soon go
Its not an easy thing to do
Leavin seldom ever is
But stayin just to see us through
Just aint no way to live
Its hard for you to understand
But were better off this way
I cant fake it one more night
Or take it one more day
So Id just as soon go
Id just as soon say goodbye
Theres no reason to prolong
What we should just let die
And Id just as soon stop
Id just as soon end the madness
Knowin what I know
Id just as soon go
Knowin what I know
Id just as soon go

Headed to the beach

Barbeque with heinekens

Gotta feel the breeze
Leanin back in my fresh throwback
Air force ones, dont you know that
Just, shine on, that tape put in
Lookin for an atm, cause my papers thin
At the bank for my peoples
Cause Im meetin them
And it feels good...

Call all the ladies, I call my guys
We can meet up and have a good time
Break out the new kicks, shine the ride
Cause we gonna roll tonight
We got grapefruits, cooked food, liquor in the cooly,
Dominos fool, no dice and spades
Cmon yall, its okay

Feels good...
To roll the ride
Top down with a dime in the passenger side
Feels good...
To see haters eyes grillin me
Mad cause Im wit you, damn why you killin me

With the beat bump bump
We just lay in the cut
And it feels good...
To know my familys okay
So tomorrow I can say...

It's Kickin' In
It's kickin' in, yeah! It's kickin' in, yeah!
It's kickin' in, yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Shocked awake in the middle of the day
In a fight over shadows of the night
And you wonder why the talk is so bold
When it's boring and the story's so old
Panic call to her best friend on the phone
Won't sit down but she just can't sit alone
Hard to justify a party band
To somebody with no party plans
Stop to appreciate it
Let's hear the boyfriends say it
It's kickin' in, yeah! It's kickin' in, yeah!
It's kickin' in, yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Going good up until we shut 'em down
Bum a ride to the other side of town
In a restaurant with so much class
If we'd stop laughing we could almost pass
The disaffected waitress
In some fake foreign accent:

Mystery Train
(herman parker/sam phillips)
Train arrive 16 coaches long
Train arrive 16 coaches long
Well that long black train
Took my baby back home
Train train rolling round the bend
Train train rolling round the bend
Well it took my baby
Away from me again
Went down to the station
To meet my baby at the gate
Ask the station master
If her train is running late
He said no if your wait
On that old 44
I hate to tell you son
But that train dont stop her anymore
Train train rolling round the bend
Train train rolling round the bend
Well it took my baby
Away from me again
Heard that whistle blowing
It was the middle of the night
When I got down to the station
The train was rolling out of site
Mystery train rolling round the bend
Mystery train rolling round the bend
Well it took my baby
Away from me again

Mama Tried
(merle haggard)
First thing I remember knowin
Was a lonesome whistle blowin
And a young ones dream of growin up to ride
On a freight train leavin town
Not knowin where Im bound
No one could steer me right
But mama tried
One and only rebel child
From a family meek and mild
My mama seemed to know what lay in store
In spite of all my sunday learnin
Toward the bad I kept on turnin
Till mama couldnt hold me anymore
And I turned twenty-one in prison
Doin life without parole
No one could steer me right
But mama tried mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better
But her pleading I denied
And that leaves only me to blame
cause mama tried
And then there was another man from texas.
My mama and daddy used to drive for
Miles and miles just to listen to him sing.
I remember mama used to tell me.
Shed say reba hes got the best voice Ive ever heard
And then later on when I got to go and listen to him sing,
Id sit there all night long and wait for
Ray price to sing the blues.

Bus To Birmingham
(Jess Brown/Tony Lane)
She didn't see me see her cryin'
As she sat there by the window
On a southbound Greyhound leavin' town
The hardest thing I've ever done
Was to walk away and let that woman go
'Cause she came close to turnin' me around
Now I know she missed her mama
'Cause that's the kind of life she comes from
Ain't no kind of life I'm ever gonna have
She said she'd call me from the station
But I'll be gone before she gets there
And I'll see her every time I'm lookin' back
Heaven knows I ain't no angel
And I don't always do the right thing
And right now I know that she don't understand
But I'll sleep better knowin'
The only thing I ever loved
Is on that bus to Birmingham
Tonight I'll slip back in the shadows
And I'll sip a glass of whiskey
And I'll try to keep from whisperin' her name
But there's some highways I ain't driven
And there's some towns that I ain't lived in
And there's some times that I can't get out of the rain
And Lord I can't bear to break
Another promise that I made her
So I made out like I wanted her to go
And I'm better off believin'
That she's better off without me
'Cause I don't want her to see me do her wrong
Heaven knows I ain't no angel
And I don't always do the right thing
And right now I know that she don't understand
But I'll sleep better knowin'
The only thing I ever loved
Is on that bus to Birmingham
Heaven knows I don't always to the right thing
And right now I know that she don't understand
But I'll sleep better knowin'
The only thing I ever loved
Is on that bus to Birmingham

RIP The Night Away (Sunrise Reprise Remix)
If it ain't natural, then it ain't real
Ohh we gon' be kickin' tonight
We gon' be sipping tonight
Ripping the night away (rip the night away)
Ohh, when the time is right
Another full moon light
We rip the night away (rip the night away)
If this was the last joint, that we ever rolled up tight,
I'd want to be with good friends, underneath that open sky,
Play some mellow music, throw our dreams into the fire,
Release all the demons, and our souls are uprising
Oh we gon' be kickin' tonight
We gon' be sipping tonight
Ripping the night away (rip the night away)
Oh, when the time is right

Ripping the night away (rip the night away)
Oh, when the time is right

We rip the night away (rip the night away)
There's nothing in the world like some good times and good vibes
Surrounded with your friends and your family by your side
All the time you spent together going out havin' fun
Doin' the things you do, this life style's got us on the run
Life's too precious every moment make it count
Some days you're on the top some day's you're down and out
This life's a gift, I'm gonna shine my light
So sit back, relax, get high, with us and kick it with us tonight
Oh we gon' be kickin' tonight
We gon' be sipping tonight

Build a fire and chill for the night, get drunk on old times and roll a few, what I like we just,

Kickin & Screamin
Well, I dont know what my uncle did
But he must have done it right
They sure strung him up one saturday night
He had spent his whole life fussin
Would have spent his last breath cussin
til he realized the deal was really done
He started screamin hallelujah!
Tryin to make his peace with everyone
Yeah, he was kickin and screamin
Just like he came in
He was kickin and screamin, darlin
Right to the bitter end
Aint it funny how we come in kickin giddy-up
And go out hollerin whoa
Lord, we never want to be here
Sure dont ever want to go.
Well, I could hear those church bells ringin
To my best friend I was clingin
Screamin if you love me brother dont let me go
Well then the whole scene was repeated
Two years later I begged and pleaded
Screamin if you love me, honey,
Now you know you wouldnt want to let me go
No, I didnt want to do it
But I sure dont want to see it come undone.
Yeah, I was kickin and screamin
Just like I came in
I was kickin and screamin, darlin
Right to the bitter end
Aint it funny how we come in kickin giddyup
And go out hollerin whoa
Lord, we never want to be here
Sure dont ever want to go.

Real Live Woman
(written by bobbie cryner)
I dont buy the lines in magazines
That tell me what Ive gotta be
Dont base my life on a movie screen
Dont fit the mold society has planned
I dont need to be 19-years-old
Or starve myself for some weight Im told
Or turn mens heads down that road
And I thank God I finally know just who I am
I aint a movie star
They never see the view from where they are
And this old town may be as far as Im goin
What hell hold tonight in his hands
He swears is so much better than
Anything this old world can show him
Im a real live woman
In love with this man I see lyin here next to me
Lost in the way that hes holdin
This real live woman
In the arms of a man where Ill fall asleep knowin theres
Nothin on earth he loves more than
This real live woman
I work 9-5 and I cant relate
To millionaires who somehow fate
Has smiled upon and fortune made their
Common lives a better place to be
And I no longer justify
Reasons for the way that I behave
I offer no apologies
For the things that I believe and say
And I like it that way
Cause Im a real live woman
In love with this man I see lyin here next to me
Lost in the way that hes holdin
This real live woman
In the arms of a man where Ill fall asleep knowin theres
Nothin on earth he loves more than
This real live woman

Sleeper Train
Written by dewey bunnell, bill mumy, and robert haimer, 1994
Found on hourglass.
I was on a sleeper train
Bound for anywhere
And I was gazin out the window
In a long stare
Watchin the sage brush go by
And a pink and yellow sky
Thinkin bout your eyes
Feelin good to be alive
I was dreamin of you
Feelin lucky
I was dreamin of you
Feelin lucky
And I was watchin the towns drift into view
Listenin to my thoughts of you
And the rhythm of the wheels
And the shadows on the hills
Leavin one more life behind
Never knowin what Id find
Such a distant great expanse
And the dust-devils, they dance
And I was dreamin of you
Feelin lucky
I was dreamin of you
Feelin lucky
Abandon everything that went before
Ahead now lies another open door
Abandon everything that went before
I was on a sleeper train
Bound for anywhere
And I was gazin out the window
In a long stare
Watchin the sage brush go by
And a pink and yellow sky
Thinkin bout your eyes
Feelin good to be alive
I was dreamin of you
Feelin lucky
I was dreamin of you
Feelin lucky
I was dreamin of you
Feelin lucky
I was dreamin of you
Feelin lucky

Through My Sails
Still glaring from the city lights
Into paradise I soared
Unable to come down
For reasons Id ignored.
Total confusion,
Disillusion
New things Im knowin.
Im standing on the shoreline
Its so fine out there
Leaving with the wind blowing
But love takes care.
Know me, know me
Show me, show me
New things Im knowin.
Wind blowing through my sails
It feels like Im gone
Leaving with the wind blowing
Through my sails.

Out Of Mind, Out Of Sight
Buddy, tip your bottle back
Climb aboard the bus
Join your brothers in the band
If you aint bombed in burmingham
Then you aint one of us
We dont really give a damn
London is a hundred miles a-waitin where were at
And a thousand years behind
Splitting from a sorry gig that left us feelin flat
Out of sight and out of mind
Cruisin through the countryside well never see again
Aint it lonesome out tonight?
Weve been on that road now since I cant remember when
Out of mind and out of sight
Buddy tip your bottle back and climb aboard the bus
Join your brothers in the band
If you aint bombed in burmingham then you aint one of us
We dont really give a damn
Yeah, I been evrywhere and I seen evrything there is
But I never saw the light
Scared to death of dyin so I do my best to live
Out of mind and out of sight
Knowin no one nowheres gonna miss us when were gone
Lets keep drinkin til were blind
Evrybodys sleepin and Im stuck inside a song
Outta sight and outta line
Someday when its over and its time to settle down
And weve left it all behind
We can sit and wonder how we ever got around

Expecting To Fly
There you stood on the edge of your feather,
Expecting to fly.
While I laughed, I wondered whether
I could wave goodbye,
Knowin that youd gone.
By the summer it was healing,
We had said goodbye.
All the years wed spent with feeling
Ended with a cry,
Babe, ended with a cry,
Babe, ended with a cry.
I tried so hard to stand
As I stumbled and fell to the ground.
So hard to laugh as I fumbled
And reached for the love I found,
Knowin it was gone.
If I never lived without you,
Now you know Id die.
If I never said I loved you,
Now you know Id try,
Babe, now you know Id try.
Babe, now you know Id try,
Babe.

One More Night With You
(wade hayes/don cook/chick rains)
I go to the job every morning
I work like a dog for my pay
My mind and body aches
It takes two coffee breaks
Top get me to the end of the day
I do what I do
Cause I know when Im through
I get one more night with you
I hate this old five oclock freeway
Getting home always takes so long
Traffic moves too slow
With a busted radio
I cant even find a country song
But this roads gonna end and im
Gonna spend
One more night with you
Thats all I care about
I wouldnt wanna live without
Knowin that youre waiting
There for me
I dont care what we do
The same old thing or something new
As long as I know theres gonna be
One more night with you
I hate to waste the time I spend sleepin
I wake up tired from the day before
All I gotta do is think about you
I grab my hat and Im running out the door
Pretty soon Im punchin in
And I do it all again for
One more night with you
Thats all I care about
I wouldnt wanna live without
Knowin that youre waiting
There for me
I dont care what we do
The same old thing or something new
As long as I know theres gonna be
One more night with you
One more night with you
