Jack Straw
We can share the women, we can share the wine.
We can share what we got of yours cause we done shared all of mine.
Keep on rollin, just a mile to go;
Keep on rollin my old buddy, youre movin much too slow.
I just jumped the watchman, right outside the fence.
Took his rings, four bucks in change, aint that heaven sent?
Hurts my ears to listen, shannon, burns my eyes to see;
Cut down a man in cold blood, shannon, might as well been me.
We used to play for silver, now we play for life;
And ones for sport and ones for blood at the point of a knife.
And now the die is shaken, now the die must fall.
There aint a winner in the game, he dont go home with all.
Not with all.
Leavin texas, fourth day of july,
Sun so hot, the clouds so low, the eagles filled the sky.
Catch the detroit lightnin out of sante fe,
The great northern out of cheyenne, from sea to shining sea.
Gotta go to tulsa, first train we can ride.
Gotta settle one old score, one small point of pride.
There aint a place a man can hide, shannon will keep him from the sun
Aint a bed can give us rest now, you keep us on the run.
Jack straw from wichita cut his buddy down,
And dug for him a shallow grave and laid his body down.
Half a mile from tucson, by the morning light,
One man gone and another to go, my old buddy youre moving much too slow.
We can share the women, we can share the wine.

Let Me Share The Ride
Hey there buddy
Slow down for me
Im friendly and Im clean
I will not rob you or cause you misery
Your wheels sound good to me
I aint green with travel
As you can see
I only got one bag
If I am trouble drop me off
In abilene
Ill pay my gasoline
Chorus
Let me share the ride
Let me share the ride
Its hard living on travel time
Please let me share your ride
I never was a young man
Never felt old
This life is a mystery
My coffees hot not cold
Ill turn your dashboard gold
Slow down take a look at me
Im not not running from anything
Ive no past to hide
Ive got no secrets haunting me
I just easy ride

Reminiscing
*note: this is taken from 5iveweb, Im not sure the lyrics are 100% true. Ill try to get the real ones soon, cos theres this missing part here too!*
Yo, Ive got a little story that Id like to address
To individuals, gotta get it off my chest
It aint about whos the best
Or five being better than the next
Were just a little different from the rest
Cos see, we got each other
When things go down
And time is just too important to be messin around
So understand not what Im trying to say
But appreciate living life day to day
So how does it feel to be the only ones
Left out in the rain cos youre phoney ones
Wake up and realise what you live is a dream
Aint gonna be there for long even though it may seem
Like a never ending story
You in it for the money or the glory
Open up your ears or ignore me
All Im tryin to do is be the man I am and be the best in this world I can
Reminiscing bout the time we used to share
If you feel it throw your hands up in the air
Time is running out, memories die
Keep movin on
Gotta keep movin on
You got to open your mind up and kick both your feet up
Ill hit you with a tale of how the five of us were meet up
Were just five guys who wanna rise to the skies
No ......... we got a vision in our eyes
Now people wanna step up and try to hold us back
They wanna try to stop us getting freaky on this track
But this is how we kick it and this is how we swing
And this is how I hit you with the funk that I bring
Now you gotta select to connect not disrespect
And you gotta learn to keep your negativity in check
Cos everybody knows what goes around comes around
Ill put it down with my sound
Reminiscing bout the time we used to share
If you feel it throw your hands up in the air
Time is running out, memories die
Keep movin on
Gotta keep movin on
Reminiscing bout the time we used to share
If you feel it throw your hands up in the air
Time is running out, memories die
Keep movin on
Gotta keep movin on
Reminiscing bout the time we used to share
If you feel it throw your hands up in the air
Time is running out, memories die
Keep movin on
Gotta keep movin on
Reminiscing bout the time we used to share
If you feel it throw your hands up in the air
Time is running out, memories die
Keep movin on
Gotta keep movin on
Reminiscing bout the time we used to share
If you feel it throw your hands up in the air
Time is running out, memories die
Keep movin on
Gotta keep movin on...

Get A Grip
I see it on the tv, its playing on my mind,
Everything I see has got something to do with killing my brother.
Just another mind game? or maybe its a sign,
When the child with a gun holds it up to the head of his brother.
Well that aint nice. gotta get a grip, gotta get a hold on life,
Gotta get a grip cause youre gonna slip, yeah.
Somebody tell me, where did we lose?
Wheres the point that we lost the control to live with each other?
Mister politician, searching for a lie.
Whats the truth? will the youth find the proof for a revolution?
Cause that aint nice, gotta get a grip, gotta get a hold on life
Gotta get a grip cause youre gonna slip, on ice,
Gotta get a grip, gotta get a hold on life
Gotta get a grip cause youre gonna slip
Gotta get a hold of the situation, gotta get you into my life,
Gotta get a hold and get it moving.
I cant tell you what you need to know its up to you, oh yeah
That aint nice, gotta get a grip, gotta get a hold on life
Gotta get a grip, cause youre gonna slip, on ice,
Gotta get a grip, gotta get a hold on life
Gotta get a grip cause youre gonna slip.
Gotta get a hold of the situation, gotta get a hold on life,
Gotta get a grip and get it moving,
I cant tell you what you need to know, its up to you, oh yeah.
Dont your blood run cold, dont the sorrow show,
Hold on tight to what you have.
See it in your eyes, dont it make you cry,
Get a grip and shake the can.
Get a grip, yeah, get a grip, yeah, get a grip, yeah,
Get a grip, get a grip, get a grip, get a grip, get a hold.
Get a grip on life, get a grip on life, get a grip on life,
Yeah get a grip.

Say It Aint True
(rod stewart / chen, savigar, cregan, grainger)
Look at all the problems
That weve been through
How can you tell me
That theres somebody new
I dont believe that Im hearing this
I dont really think that youre serious
Well you picked a fine time to hesitate
See it my way Ive nothing left
You can take my heart but dont steal my pride
Think it over before Im pushed aside
And tell me
Say it aint true
Thats all you gotta do, baby
Say it aint true
Well I thought this one was bound to last
Together forever oh what a laugh
Its going to hurt when I set you free
Ive been loving you too long
Youre a part of me
So tell me
Say it aint true, tell me baby
Say it aint true
Put yourself in my place for a little while
Going out of fashion growing out of style
No one to laugh with nobody to share
No one to lean on nobody to care
Nothing left but a memory
I gave you my heart so stay with me
And tell me
Say it aint true
Say it aint true
Tell me baby
Say it aint true
I love you baby
I love you baby
I just want to do right by you honey
Wouldnt do you no wrong

Aint It Strange
Aint it strange that we destroy
What we embrace
And we leave
What we seek
Its such a shame
Aint it strange that we smile
When we cry
And no one knows why we are here
And where we going to
Aint it strange
We could be, we could be so good together
Aint it strange that we share what we hate
That we break what we love
Its such a shame
Aint it strange when we pray, we betray anyway
And no one knows what we are for
Why were so tough
When were so fragile
Aint it strange
Aint it strange, still we could fall into a dream, Id wish no one
Will catch that fall
For we could fall for love, life is but a dream, life is but a dream
All the tears in the world not in vain for the pain is gone, the
Shame is washed away
When were all one, life is but a dream, life is but a dream
Its hard to believe after thousands of years
The world is still drowning in blood and tears
Weve been quite advanced but again we fail
It is dog eats dog on the ratrace trail
It is getting too much and were getting nowhere
While hatred and fear is all that we share
I cant take it no more when Im watching the news
We must stick together or were bound to lose

A Mess Of Blues
(words & music by doc pomus and mort shuman)
I just got your letter baby
Too bad you cant come home
I swear Im goin crazy
Sittin here all alone
Since youre gone
I got a mess of blues
I aint slept a wink since sunday
I cant eat a thing all day
Every day is just blue monday
Since youve been away
Since youre gone
I got a mess of blues
Whoops there goes a teardrop
Rollin down my face
If you cry when youre in love
It sure aint no disgrace
I gotta get myself together
Before I lose my mind
Im gonna catch the next train goin
And leave my blues behind
Since youre gone
I got a mess of blues
Whoops there goes a teardrop
Rollin down my face
If you cry when youre in love
It sure aint no disgrace
I gotta get myself together
Before I lose my mind
Im gonna catch the next train goin
And leave my blues behind

Dont Wanna Say Goodbye
Dont wanna say goodbye
Sometimes...
What may be the best thing for you to do
Sometimes it the hardest thing for you to do
And thats real
Cause I know that I love you
I know how I feel about you
But I also know that dont make everything alright
And for that reason
I gotta say goodbye
Tell me have you ever been in a
Situation where the best thing you could do
Was the hardest thing youve ever done
But you try to do whats right
And I know that deep down inside
That I really wanna be there by your side
But I cant stand to see you cry
Not when its because of me
And its over, Ill never love another
Im always thinking of her, Im doing this becasue of her
Dont wanna say goodbye
I dont wanna let her see me cry
Looking out the window and wondering why
Did we have to say all those things that we said last night
Baby I dont wanna say goodbye
So Im just standing here wondering why
Just dont like to see when you cry
So ima say goodbye
If you think I cause I packed your stuff
That inside I aint really really cracking u p
Cause youre wrong I just hide it good
Cause I know thats what you need
And theres more to life than loving yourself
You gotta learn to love somebody else
And thats why I do the things that I do
And its over, Ill never love another
Im always thinking of her, Im doing this because of her
Dont wanna say goodbye
I dont wanna let her see me cry
Looking out the window and wondering why
Did we have to say all those things that we said last night
Baby I dont wanna say goodbye
So Im standing here wondering why
Just dont wanna see when you cry
So ima say goodbye
Theres no one in this world that can ever take you place
All the love that we share, it can never be erased
And I know that, that it hurts so bad
And Im sorry, that youre the best Ive had
Theres no one in this world that can ever take your place
All the love that we share, it can never be erased
And I know that, that it hurts so bad
And Im sorry, that youre the best Ive had
Theres no one in this world that can ever take your place

Lord they dont help themselves
But when the taxman comes to the door
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale
It aint me, it aint me
I aint no millionaires son
It aint me, it aint me

Night Riders Lament
One night while I was out a ridin
The grave yard shift, midnight til dawn
The moon was bright as a readin light
For a letter from an old friend back home.
And he asked me
Why do you ride for your money
Tell me why do you rope for short pay
You aint agettin nowhere
And youre loosin your share
Boy, you must have gone crazy out there.
He said last night I ran on to jenny
Shes married and has a good life
And boy you sure missed the track
When you never come back
Shes the perfect professionals wife.
And she asked me
Why does he ride for his money
And tell me why does he rope for short pay
He aint agettin nowhere
And hes loosin his share
Boy he mustve gone crazy out there.
Ah but theyve never seen the northern lights
Theyve never seen a hawk on the wing
Theyve never spent spring on the great divide
And theyve never heard ole camp cookie sing.
Well I read up the last of my letter
And I tore off the stamp for black jim
And when billy rode up to relieve me
He just looked at my letter and grinned.
He said now
Why do they ride for their money
Tell me why do they ride for short pay
They aint agettin nowhere
And theyre loosin their share
Boy, they mustve gone crazy out there
Son, they all must be crazy out there

Lonesome Rodeo Cowboy
I own this horse and saddle
And that old cadillac
This broken down horse trailer
And the clothes that are on my back
Well I know that it aint a hell of alot
But its all that I can show
My wife left me five years ago
In one of those rodeo towns
I cant say that I blame her much
She just wanted to settle down
Oh God how I miss that woman
It hurt so to see her go
If I was smart I woulda stuck by her
But Im hooked on this rodeo
Chorus:
And Im just a lonesome cowboy
Im a little bit over the hill
I shoulda quit this thing a long time ago
But I guess I never will
So I keep on movin from show to show
Hopin to change my luck
My good ol days are just a memory
But I just cant give it up
There was a time I used to do alright
And bring home my share of the dough
But now Im losin out to the younger boys
I guess I must be gettin slow
But theres one thing you learn from this
You gotta make it on your own
Cause when your on top youve got a million friends
But when your down buddy youre all alone

But I just cant give it up

It Aint Easy When You Fall
(ian hunter)
You used to float just like a boat upon the tide
You used to run when things were done you used to hide
You talk of ships you talk of boats you talk of games
And now youre down you aint around its such a shame
Cause you got something to give
Something to hold onto
Why dont you live
And you just forget about fixing up fate
Maybe youd stop pick yourself up
Now its too late oh
It aint easy when you fall
It aint easy when you fall
It aint easy when you fall
No it aint no good at all
You didnt know this world aint slow you gotta move
You made no sound I watched you drown I watched you loose
Your loneliness you knew it best but its a drag
Cause in the end I lost a friend I feel so sad
Cause you had something to give
Something to hold onto
Why did you live
If you just forgot about fixing up fate
Youd be here youd be near
Now its too late oh
It aint easy when you fall
It aint easy when you fall
It aint easy when you fall
No it aint no good at all
Oh-oh hey
It aint easy when you fall
