The Preacher Wont Have To Lie
(steve dean/billy montana)
I used to believe what money could bring
Was worth more than anything else
But all that changed when I had a dream
And I got a good look at myself
I stood face to face with the ghost of my past
And the spirit what was to come
And they made it clear that one day Id have to
Answer for what I had done
And I saw what Id become
The choices you make
The chances you take
Theyll follow you all of your life
Im just tryin to live so when I die
The preacher wont have to lie
I aint no prophet and I aint no saint
And I aint made no great sacrifice
I just keep tryin to carry my weight
I keep trying to do what is right
And its hard to do right sometimes
The choices you make
The chances you take
Theyll follow you all of your life
Im just tryin to live so when I die
The preacher wont have to lie
The choices you make
The chances you take
Theyll follow you all of your life
Im just tryin to live so when I die
The preacher wont have to lie
Oh, the preacher wont have to lie

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

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

Well, theyll stone ya when youre trying to be so good,
Theyll stone ya just a-like they said they would.

Then theyll stone ya when youre there all alone.
But I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
Well, theyll stone ya when youre walkin long the street.
Theyll stone ya when youre tryin to keep your seat.
Theyll stone ya when youre walkin on the floor.
Theyll stone ya when youre walkin to the door.
But I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
Theyll stone ya when youre at the breakfast table.
Theyll stone ya when you are young and able.
Theyll stone ya when youre tryin to make a buck.
Theyll stone ya and then theyll say, good luck.
Tell ya what, I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
Well, theyll stone you and say that its the end.
Then theyll stone you and then theyll come back again.
Theyll stone you when youre riding in your car.

Everybody must get stoned.
Well, theyll stone you when you walk all alone.
Theyll stone you when you are walking home.
Theyll stone you and then say you are brave.
Theyll stone you when you are set down in your grave.
But I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.

Too Much Aint Enough
Looks like you got a little more to lose
N ow a little more at stake
I see youve had a hard time
Livin with the change
Youve got me up in line
Now tryin to call your bluff
But you just wont be satisfied
Too much aint enough
It aint enough, it aint enough
Youre standing by the telephone
Waitin for the word
And ever since that bathroom scene
Theres been a slight concern
Im trying to make this easy baby
You seem to like things rough
You just cant be satisfied
Too much ain t enough
It aint enough, it aint enough.
Too much baby aint enough no way
Too much baby aint enough no way
Come on baby Im down on my knees
Guess some little girls just cant be pleased
Little miss queen of hear ts youre a strange thing
Why you wanna stay so vague
Im wanderin through this mess you made
To see what I can save
Im livin on the line now
Tryin to call your bluff
But you just wont be satisfied
Too much aint enough.

And on the grind
Just pushed you a little bit more
Dont mind if I do

Hot damn - hands in a jam
Never say cant

As long as youll be cool

Oh, wee set the pace

Someones gonna take it away

Some day theyll burn the king for sellin out
Chew you up and spit you out
Just like heaven when things are good
But there aint no hell like

You may be a lady
But Ill knock you out
Wrap my knuckles upside your head
Make you take back
Every damn thing you said
You play with me
Gonna pay the price
No ghost of a chance
Im holdin the dice
You lie about this and
Lie about that
Dont wanna hear
Nothing about no more crap
Now you see it
Now you dont
Someones gonna take it away
Now you see it

Fair Warning
You know, wishing wont make it so
Hoping wont do it, praying wont do it
Religion wont do it, philosophy wont do it
The supreme court wont do it,
The president and the congress wont do it
The un wont do it, the h-bomb wont do it,
The sun and the moon wont do it
And God wont do it,
And I certainly wont do it
That leaves you, youll have to do it
I know that youve been wondering
If Im the same man inside
Never tried to fool you
cause Ive got nothing to hide
I gave you fair warning I could never be tied down
til Ive seen paradise with my very own eyes
Love owns us all, time owns us all, life owns us all
But the world doesnt own me
Dontcha follow me now
I aint afraid to say I may have been wrong
I have to go now
Id rather live by a dream than live by a lie
And thats why
There aint no cure for what Ive got baby
We just have to suffer
I feel no pain, I cant complain,
Things could always be rougher
But I picked up this banner
And I just cant put it down (no)
I cant let the world die just cause no one would try
Dontcha follow me now
Everybodys got to find his own place in the sun,
Everyone
So shine on me now
Id rather live by a dream then live by a lie
You can say what you will about me
Talk is cheap and I dont mind
When you lay your life down in them grooves
You know youre bound to get scratched up sometime
Its only just a song, pay me no mind
I have to go now
Youve got to walk that road alone
If you walk it at all
Dont follow me now
I gave you all fair warning
Now its goodbye
And every once in a while why dont you think of me
cause its a long, long time and a long way to go
Cant you see the light shining in my eyes
cause its just one victory
cause your dream goes on forever
Dont you know that Ive been trying
To get my trip together
Be a real man
I got to be a real man
1, 2, 3, do it one more time
Be a real man
Everybody be a real man
Go then, dont believe, and I dont know
cause I got to be a real man
You can be a man, a real man
Ill swim that river, climb that mountain
You and me, we all gotta be, real men

Born To Fight
Theyre tryin to take away my pride
By stripping me of everyhing I own
Theyre tryin to hurt me inside
And make me into a white mans drone
But this ones not for sale
And I was born to fight
I aint been knocked down yet
I was born to fight
Im the surest bet
There aint no man no woman
No beast alive that can beat me
cause Im born to fight
Theyre tryin to dig into my soul
And take away the spirit of my god
Theyre tryin to take control
And monitor my every thought
I wont let down my guard
And I was born to fight
I aint been knocked down yet
I was born to fight

Keeping The Faith

Are you a saint then dont be a stranger
Were you sent down from heaven to show me the way
And if you aint then I see a danger
You better take a minute and hear what Ive got to say

Makin a fool out of me

Who wont steal me blind who wont turn and run

Aint no gettin round it tell me to my face

Shell empty your pockets shell spend you dry

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,
But I'm tryin.

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
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
I know there's somthing going on
How could you be so cold
I know theres something going wrong
Yea!
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
I know there's somthing going on
How could you be so cold
I know theres something going wrong
Yea!

Cant get this out of my head
I know there's something going on

It Wont Be Right

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
Tryin to take my home away
Wont be right

Son Of A Preacher Man
(john hurley / ronnie wilkins)
Billy-ray was a preachers son
And when his daddy would visit hed come along
When they gathered round and started talkin
Thats when billy would take me walkin
A-through the back yard wed go walkin
Then hed look into my eyes
Lord knows to my surprise
The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, mmm, yes he was
Being good isnt always easy
No matter how hard I try
When he started sweet-talkin to me
Hed come and tell me everything is all right
Hed kiss and tell me everything is all right
Can I get away again tonight?
The only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, lord knows he was
How well I remember
The look that was in his eyes
Stealin kisses from me on the sly
Takin time to make time
Tellin me that hes all mine
Learnin from each others knowing
Lookin to see how much weve grown
And the only one who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
Yes he was, he was, oh, yes he was
He was the sweet-talking son of a preacher man
I guessed he was the son of a preacher man
Sweet-lovin son of a preacher man
Ahh, move me

Were victims of unjust romance
But they couldnt see the truth in their hands
We dont have to live like they do
Well run away if we have to
And well start a life thats shining and new

Heavens Waiting
There is no understanding in this hostile age
Sometimes I feel just like a rat locked in a cage
Its hard to live beyond the walls
It aint no life at all
But dont you tear it down
Chorus:
Take your chances, Ill take mine
Chasing thunder is only wasted time
Got no reason to walk that line
Heavens waiting if I can make it home tonight
And with the years Ive found a faith that gets me by
It shows me the truth in a hurricane of lies
My babys left a light for me
Thats really all I need
They wont bring me down
Repeat chorus
Aimlessly rushing leaves you with nothing
You need some loving to make you feel alive
In less than a moment, life can be stolen
I know where Im going, gotta get me there tonight
Im holding on to what I can
Like any other lucky man
Love wont strike me, love wont sell me out

(ry cooder/russ titelman/washington phillips)
Whenever you find a man that loves every woman he sees,
Theres always some kind of woman thats a-puttin him up a tree.
Now that kind of man, he aint got as much sense as a mule.
You know, everyone dont love you, theyre just a-playin you for a fool
Mmmm, oh, no,
Its not hard for you to understand.
True love can be such a sweet harmony
If you do the best that you can.
If you marry the wrong kind of woman and you get where you cant agree,
Well, you just as well could get your hat and let that woman be.
But a man oughta make a good husband and quit tryin to lead a fast life.
Goin about dressin up other women wont put clothes on his own wife
Well, theres lots of good women who wants to marry, and they want to live well at home.
But theyre fraid theyll might get hold of a rowdy man, cant let other women alone.
And theres lots of good men wants to marry, and they wants to live well at home.

Hey you cuckoo!
See youre in the paper late today, accused of something,
And your lips are closed to all of those who know shes missing.
Talk abounds she wont be found alive and thats a pity.

Carry me through tomorrow, guide me along the way.
Im tired of the insane running things,
And I wont stop tryin for change.
Seems the towns ablaze and tvs live to show its burning.
All the while, the smiling juvenile is seeking mercy.
I see these crimes all of the time. when will it end?

And I wont stop tryin for change.
We legislate and educate trying to find
A way to fix the broken dream.
Carry me through tomorrow, guide me along the way.
If this is the youth of tomorrow,

Carry me through tomorrow, guide me along the way.

You were tryin to be charming

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

And I still aint laughin

Two different worlds
You were tryin to be in
Oscillation in shame

This Time Of Night
We all feel the same
All pleasure nothing to gain
Ive known you from the start
Ive grown used to your wooden heart
Now you know my name
You search your empty brain in vain
If you dont change your ways
Youll end up here with me unraised (? ? ? )
Without you theyll never know
Without you my life wont flow
Without you theyll never show
Without you the night wont go
Without you Im left alone
Without you Im on my own
Without you I lay in pain
Without you Ive gone insane
Now you must decide
What goods a lie when youve nothing to hide
Maps theyll never show
Theyre dumb like you, they never know
Its time we said goodbye
Bury your head and silence your cry
Know the feel of pain
Join our world and play our game
Without you theyll never know
Without you my life wont grow
Without you theyll never show
Without you the night wont go
Without you Im left alone
Without you Im on my own
Without you my lifes a waste
Just for you I wrap my face
Without you Im left alone
Without you Im on my own
Without you I lay here in pain
Without you Ive gone insane

Dont ever take my dignity (x4)
Whatever you may do to me
Dont crucify my dignity
