Incommunicado
By: jimmy buffett, deborah mccoll, m.l. benoit
1980
For the duke and travis mcgee
Travis mcgees still in cedar key
Thats what ol john macdonald said
My rendezvouss so long overdue
With all of the things Ive sung and Ive read
They still apply to me
They all make sense in time
Chorus:
But now Im incommunicado
Drivin by myself down the road with a hole in it
Songs with no vibrato
Takin the long way home
Now on the day that john wayne died
I found myself on the continental divide
Tell me where do I go from here
Think Ill ride into leadville and have a few beers
I think of red river or liberty valance
Cant believe the old mans gone
Chorus:
But now hes incommunicado
Leavin such a hole in a world that believed
That a life with such bravado
Was takin the right way home
So when I finished that last line
I put the book by itself on the shelf with my heart in it
Never wastin time takin the right way home
I know Im never wastin time findin the right way home
Chorus:
Still I am incommunicado
Livin next door to a leg with a pin in it
Life with such bravado
Is takin the right way home
Tryin to make it
Tryin to fake it
Tryin to take it home
Tryin to make it
Tryin to fake it
Tryin to take it home
I know im...
Tryin to make it
Sometimes I fake it
Tryin to take it home
All Im doing is...
Tryin to make it
Tryin to fake it
Tryin to take it home
But now Im incommunicado...

I'm Trying
This gettin up early pullin double shifts
Gonna make an old of me long before I ever get rich
But I'm tryin
It's been two years since we finalized
I still aint used to puttin Ex in front of wife
But I'm tryin
Send more money right away
Is pretty much all she has to say when she calls these days
And don't you be late
But all I can do, is all I can do
But I keep on tryin
And all I can be, is all I can be
And I keep on tryin
There's always a mountain in front of me
Seems I'm always climbing, and falling, and climbing,
But I keep on tryin
I remember daddy sayin keep your eye on the ball
Run like hell, play to win, get up when you fall
I'm tryin
Don't say nothin that you can't take back
Never do anything you might regret
No, don't do that
Daddy, I'm tryin
Know the difference between heaven and hell
Go easy on the bottle, be hard on yourself
And I know he meant well.
But all I can do, is all I can do
But I keep on tryin
And all I can be, is all I can be
And I keep on tryin
There's always a mountain in front of me
Seems I'm always climbing, and falling, and climbing,
But I keep on tryin.
Keep on tryin...
All I can do
Is all I can do
And I keep on tryin
And all I can be
That's all I can be
And I keep on tryin.
But all I can do, is all I can do
But I keep on tryin
There's always a mountain in front of me
Seems I'm always climbing, and stumbling, and falling, and climbing,
But I keep on tryin.
This gettin up early pulling double shifts
Is gonna make an old man of me long before I ever get rich,

Takin Chances
Lestley r. pierce & frankie blue
I like walkin in the park late at night
Tryin to run my motor down
Everybody says I live a dangerous life
Ive got to get ahead somehow
Out here on the street just tryin to get my own
Dont tell me what you think you know
Ooh, most people spend their time at home alone
Just waitin for a check that wont show
Chorus:
Takin chances
No risk, no gain
Takin chances
I really dont mind the pain
Takin chances
If you only knew
Takin chances
Its all for the love of you
I dont like to listen to what people say (uh-huh)
Cause once you start youll never stop
One advantage to doing things my own way
Ill always end up on top
Chorus
Bridge:
Ive got to do it right, ooh Ive got to
Ive got to live my life the way I want to
Im high up on a wire, dont wanna ever come down
And if I fall Ive got to fly

Railroad Lady
By: jimmy buffett, jerry jeff walker
1973
Shes a railroad lady
Just a little bit shady
Spendin her days on the trains
Shes a semi-good looker
But the fast rails they took er
Now shes tryin, just tryin to get home again
South station in boston to the freightyards of austin
From the florida sunshine to the new orleans rain
Now that the railpacks
Has taken the best tracks
Shes tryin, just tryin to get home again
Shes a railroad lady
Just a little bit shady
Spendin her life on a train
Once a pullman car traveller
Now the brakeman wont have er
Shes tryin, just tryin to get home again
Once a high ballin loner he thought he could own er
Bought her a fur and a big diamond ring
She hocked em for cold cash
Left town on the wabash
Never thinkin, never thinkin of home way back then
But the rails are now rusty
The dinin cars dusty
Gold plated watches have taken their toll
Yeah the railroads are dyin
And the lady shes cryin
On a bus to kentucky and home thats her goal
Shes a railroad lady
Just a little bit shady
Spendin her life on a train
Shes a semi-good looker
But the fast rails they took er
Now shes tryin, just tryin to get home again
Coda:
Yes on a bus to kentucky and home once again

Tryin' To Get The Feelin'
Doctor, my woman is comin' back home late today
Could ya' maybe give me something?
'cause the feelin' is gone and I must get it back right away
Before she sees that I've been
Up, down, tryin' to get the feeling again
All around.... tryin' to get the feeling again
The one that made me shiver, made my knees start to quiver
Every time she walked in
And I've looked high, low, everywhere I possibly can
But there's no tryin' to get the feeling again
It seemed to disappear as fast as it came
Where did it run to?
I thought I'd done all that I could
Just to keep the lovelight burnin'
But whatever I've done I guess I just haven't done it too good
'cause all that's left is yearnin'
Cause I been up, down, tryin' to get the feeling again
All around....tryin' to get the feeling again
The one that made me shiver, made my knees start to quiver
Every time she walked in
And I've looked high, and low and everywhere I possibly can
But there's no tryin' to get the feeling again
It seemed to disappear as fast as it came
And I've been lookin', I've been lookin', I've been lookin'
I've been up, and down and tryin' to get the feelin'
I've been up ..I've been down...I've been tryin' to get
I've been tryin'..I've been tryin'..I've been tryin'
To get the feeling
I've been tryin' to get the feeling again
I want to get that feeling
I'm going to get that feeling
I got to get that feeling
I got to get that feeling
And again...and again...and again...and again
Tryin' to get that feeling
I been tryin' to get the feeling again

Who Am I Tryin To Fool
I can tell myself Im in control
I can live this life without you
But you know its just a lie
You know its just my pride
I can tell myself Im broken down
One too many times
But then I start to cry
Dont want to live this life without you

Who am I tryin to fool
Why must I walk away so strong
When I feel so weak
Who am I tryin to fool
Everybody knows I still love you
I can tell myself theres someone else
Out there tryin to find me
But it doesnt make much sense
When Ive already found you
(repeat chorus)
Only you, I love only you
Only you, ooh

Down Boys
You were tryin to be cute
And it didnt work out
You were tryin to be charming
And it didnt come off
You were tryin to be clever
A big waste of time
You were tryin to get rough
But youre waiting in line
You cant make it with the down boys
They dont hear a word you say
You cant make it with the down boys
Uh just stay out of their way
You were trying to be sharp
But they couldnt wait
You were trying to be eternal
But uh that didnt rate
You were tryin to be smooth
Youre rough on the edges
You were tryin to be, hysterical
And I still aint laughin
You cant make it with the down boys
Uh they dont hear a word you say
You cant make it with the down boys
Just stay out of their way
You were tryin to be in
But they left you out [yelp? ]
You were tryin to be in
Two different worlds
You were tryin to be in
Oscillation in shame
You were tryin to be in
But youre lost in the game
You cant make it with the down boys
They dont hear a word you say
You cant make it with the down boys
Uh just stay out of their way
Stay out of their way
Out of their way
You cant make it with the down boys
Uh they dont hear a word you say
You cant make it with the down boys
Just stay out of their way

Tryin To Get The Feeling Again
At any moment hell be walking through that door
But he wont find me behind it
cause the feeling is gone and just wont come back any more
I worked so hard to find it
Ive been up, down, tryin to get the feeling again
All around tryin to get the feeling again
That one that made me shiver
Make my knees start to quiver every time he walks in
Ive look high, low, everywhere I possibly can
But theres just no tryin to get the feeling again
It seemed to disappear as fast at it came
(*) read every book, looked, for every meditation and poem
Just to bring home that old sweet sensation
But it aint no use to me to try to get the feeling again
When did it leave me
How did I come to miss use such a beautiful bonnet
But baby believe me, Ive done everything I can do
But somehow its no returnin
Ive been up, down, tryin to get the feeling again
Like a bloodhound searching for a long lost friend
Could you help me rediscover
The way to re-be his lover once again
Repeat (*)
I want to get that feeling again

I'm Tryin'
This gettin up early, pulling double shifts,
Gonna make an old man of me long before I ever get rich.
But I'm tryin
It's been two years since we've finalized,
I still ain't used to puttin ex in front of wife.
But I'm tryin.
Send more money right away, is pretty much all she has to say when she
Calls these days and don't you be late
But all I can do, is all I can do and I keep on tryin
And all I can be is all I can be and I keep on tryin
There's always a mountain in front of me,
Seems I'm always climbin and fallin and climbin
But I keep on tryin
I remember daddy sayin keep your eye on the ball, run like hell, play to win,
Get up when you fall
I'm tryin
Don't say nothin that you can't take back
Never do anything you might regret
No don't do that
Daddy I'm tryin
Know the difference between heaven and hell
Go easy on the bottle be hard on yourself
And I know he meant well
But all I can do, is all I can do and I keep on tryin
And all I can be is all I can be and I keep on tryin
There's always a mountain in front of me,
Seems I'm always climbin and fallin and climbin

There's always a mountain in front of me
Seems I'm always climbin and stumblin

It Wont Be Right
Tom johnston
Early in the mornin when the sun come up
Youll find me sittin at the table, drinkin from a wooden cup
The mortgage is a comin tryin to take my home away
Im not gonna let it turn my head away
It wont be right
No matter what they say
Wont be right
Tryin to take my home away
Wont be right
If they do this thing to me
I dont have to take it
And I really dont wanna see
Early in the evenin long about supper time
Theres nothin left here for me but a bottle of wine
Im gonna be evicted along about the hour of five
Well, its enough to make me wonder why Im alive
It wont be right
No matter what they say
Wont be right

But itll take dyin to get it done
All my friends keep tryin to fix me up

I Know
I know somethings shady when Im feeling it
You play the game like cards when your dealing it
I see through the eyes of a marked man
But in the streets you gotta have a game plan
Im paranoid I se them coming after me
24/7 on me constantly
I see the red beam, I walk the tight rope
But I know Im the target in the scope
YEA!
I try to weed out the real from the fake ones
Two faced ones wont you keep it real son
I can see it from a mile away
Cause Im holding it down with my feet on the gound
And they...
They're tryin to break me, they're tryin to rape me
They're tryin to bring me down

Evil lurks when you around
And then you know how it's goin down
I look deep and figure how to break free
In my pain escape from reality
I see you scoping on my life and now he tells me
You look suspicious and you plan is tryin to gank me
The mainsuspect but your the reject
You'll be the one with the gun, no respect for me
I roll deep like a bond, I got a blue print
Creep in your area lowright through the residence
Like a sniper, control the damager
Flippin the script cause Im two steps ahead of ya
They're tryin to break me, they're tryin to rape me
They're tryin to bring me down
I know there's something going on
And it seems so cold
I know there's something going on
And it wont be long

How could you be so cold

Just a slave like one of us?
Just a stranger on the bus
Tryin 2 make his way home

And jesus and the saints and all the prophets?

Could ya maybe give me something?
cause the feelin is gone
And I must get it back right away
Before she sees that Ive been
Up, down, tryin to get the feelin again
All around tryin to get the feelin again

Made my knees start to quiver
Everytime she walked in
And Ive looked high, low,
Everywhere I possibly can
But theres no tryin to get the feelin again
It seemed to disappear as fast as it came
Where did it run to?
I thought Id done all that I could
Just to keep the lovelight burnin
But whatever Ive done I guess
I just havent done it too good
cause all thats left is yearnin

Standing On The Highway
by Bob Dylan
Well, I'm standin' on the highway
Tryin' to bum a ride, tryin' to bum a ride,
Tryin' to bum a ride.
Well, I'm standin' on the highway
Tryin' to bum a ride, tryin' to bum a ride,
Tryin' to bum a ride.
Nobody seem to know me,
Everybody pass me by.
Well, I'm standin' on the highway
Tryin' to hold up, tryin' to hold up,
Tryin to hold up and be brave.
Well, I'm standin' on the highway
Tryin' to hold up, tryin to hold up and be brave.
One roads goin' to the bright lights,
The others goin' down to my grave.
Well, I'm lookin' down at two card,
They seem to be handmade.
Well, I'm lookin' down at two card,
They seem to be handmade.
One looks like it's the ace of diamonds,
The other looks like it is the ace of spades.
Well, I'm standin' on the highway
Watchin' my life roll by.
Well, I'm standin' on the highway
Watchin' my life roll by.
Well, I'm standin' on the highway
Tryin' to bum a ride.
Well, I'm standin' on the highway
Wonderin' where everybody went, wonderin' where everybody went,
Wonderin' where everybody went.
Well, I'm standin' on the highway
Wonderin' where everybody went, wonderin' where everybody went,
Wonderin' where everybody went.
Please mister, pick me up,
I swear I ain't gonna kill nobody's kids.
I wonder if my good gal,
I wonder if she knows I'm here,
Nobody else seems to know I'm here.
I wonder if my good gal,
I wonder if she knows I'm here,
Nobody else seems to know I'm here.
If she knows I'm here, Lawd,
I wonder if she said a prayer.

Get To Know Ya
They be tryin' to bring you flowers

I was just tryin' to get with you honest
