Desolation Road
Locked up on monday
Lord I lost my way
I couldnt breathe her name
You know shes after my life
Lately Im stickin to drinkin
And Im headed down desolation road
Habit -a- growin
Set it up just right
I do away my life
On a turn of the dice
Lately Im runnin and hidin
Slidin down desolation road
(lead)
No one to turn to
Losing my best friend
My name is just bad news
And my accounts in the red
Im in need of understandin
Im landin in desolation road

Greens
Woke up this morning crawled out between the sheets
My woman was warm, kisses oh so sweet
Wanted to stay but I had to go
Headed for the factory, made myself some dough
Chorus:
I said greens is what I mean
Well it dont keep ya warm as lovin
But it sure pays for that fun in between
Got me some new wheels bright red fast and mean
Felt good drivin around in that machine
Cruisin round puttin on a show
Couldnt make the payment the car just had to go
(repeat chorus)
(lead)
Gotta make some changes, gotta get myself in gear
Things are gettin heavy, Im cuttin out of here
Take my woman, make some speed
Dont know where Im going but I sure know what I need
(repeat chorus)2x

If You See My Baby
If you see my baby
With another man
Keep it a secret if you can
If you see my baby
With another man
Dont tell me even if you can
Bridge:
You know I could not stand the pain
So if you think you are my friend
I hope you never see her
With another man
But if you do dont you understand
(lead)
(bridge)
Shes everything I longed for
She took so long to find
But Id be lost if she changed her mind
If you see my baby
If you see my baby
If you see my baby
If you see my baby

New York Broken Toy
She came from new york
Seems like a bright spark
Knew all the answers to the game
Moved to a new town
Soon pushed her way around
But youre a lady just the same
She went the wrong way
Tryin to catch that boy
He only used her
Then broke her like a toy
Like a new york broken toy
Moved with the wrong pack
Hard headed, well stacked
Drop her guard if you drop her name
Made all the wrong moves
Knew all the lines to use
Too many got burned in her flame
She went the wrong way
Tryin to catch that boy
He only used her
Then he broke her like a toy
Like a new york broken toy
Since the news got around
Someone I brought up town
Needed a friend but no one came
She tried to change her views
But still she wasnt bad news
Dont ever lose at your own game
She went the wrong way
Tryin to catch that boy
He only used her
Then he broke her like a toy
Like a new york broken toy.

Star
Walkin alone at night in the cold rain
Wondrin if I will see you again
In some corner light
Runnin down the road in the warm sun
Dreaming that I am still the one
Resting by your side
You took the road to fortune and fame
Your name in lights
I want you to know I still feel the same
Star, I still love you
I still love you
Remembering when you played me that first song
The first show that you asked me along
Just to be around
Workin so hard till you got that first break
You said you could turn them around
Give them something new
You took the road to fortune and fame
Your name in lights
I want you to know I still feel the same
Star, I still love you
I still love you
Got that photograph of you and me
I hear your voice on the radio
Will I ever lay with you again
Nobody planned it we just seemed to drift now
I always seem to have to leave
Just as you come around
But someday soon girl I just got to see
I just gotta find out
If we still have time

Friends
Just sit yourself down friend
Pull up a chair friend
There aint nobody here friend
But the people you need
Roll yourself a joint friend
Empty your head friend
Make yourself at home friend
This is where you belong
Chorus:
Put your feet up on the fire
If it makes you feel much better
Have a glass of homegrown wine
Dont you think it tastes fine
Tear you away friend
On a planet to space friend
Faster than you can think friend
Youll be there before you know

Holy Roller
Holy roller, lookin down
Where you think you know
All the answers
Arrogance and pride....are sin
Better look to your, own chances
Chorus:
Holy roller can you save your own soul
Can you save your own soul
Holy roller
Standin, up for jesus

But youre standin on peoples hearts

To be praised
Better get back on...jesus track

Holy roller, practice what you preach
Heaven, its still within your reach
Holy roller, dont you judge
What you think is goin wrong

Spinning Top
My heads moving like a spinning top
How in the world do I make it stop

Im gonna live till I had my fill
Call the crowd and gather round
Youre gonna find me in the lost and found
Bright lights , thats my style

Got no time for sittin round

Aint gonna wait another day
Pack my bags and get on my way
Gone and turn around
Youre gonna find me in the lost and found

Expect No Mercy
If youre ready for the street
You wanna mix it in some fight
Let me tell you somethin
Now I dont wanna get you uptight
But if youre in a corner
And you cant find no way out
Dont look around for no help
No, no there wont be any around
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
So you think you got a case
And you think you know the score
No you dont wanna listen
You cant be told no more
But waitll you get out there
You better do it right
cause the streets are lined with things that kill
And theyre hidin in the night
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Feel that you can cut it
You think you got the time
Theyll only give you one chance
Better get it right first time
And the game youre playing
If you lose you gotta pay
If you make just one wrong move
Youll get blown away
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy

Lap Of Luxury
She was a wall street celebrity
With upward mobility
Walked and talked like a man
But that was o.k. by me
Two bit losers can never be choosers
No nit pickin kickin the can
Livin in the lap
Livin in the lap of luxury
Seventeen self abusals
Got me twenty blind, flat refusals
While shes dressin all in white
Im gettin set up for my life
Hard work never stopped the dance
But provin it just aint worth the chance
Livin in the lap
Livin in the lap of luxury
Everythings alrighty by me
With risin credibility
Im leavin a mark with my indelability
Shes earnin the money
Im servin the honey
Bring it on home to the hive---no jive
Livin in the lap
Livin in the lap of luxury

May The Sunshine
May the sun, the sun shine bright
May the sun shine bright on you
May the sun, the sun shine bright
May the sun shine bright on you
Someone woke me up again last night
Talkin to me about my last time
Dont tell me I know its late
Please, please lay me down a line
Pick me up before I start to fall
Never let your dreams grow small
May the sun, the sun shine bright
May the sun shine bright on you
May the sun, the sun shine bright
May the sun shine bright on you
Talkin to my lover, she was out
It was independence day
Dont be nervous , you can hold me tight
Someone turned the light out on the stairs
Was it just the wind I heard
Just another helping hand
May the sun, the sun shine bright
May the sun shine bright on you
May the sun, the sun shine bright
May the sun shine bright on you
Take me back down the yellow brick road
Let me get my ticket to your heart
Strangers hidin on my land
Could it be its keepin me apart
Give me time dont you gimme no love
Let the sunshine in your heart

Railroad Boy
Hear the whistle blowin so long
Tellin me I gotta move along
Coast to coast gonna steal highway
Railroad boy up in the guiding daybreak
Get no sleep in a boxcar
Get no piece of line
They catch you jumpin a freight train
They give you such a hard time
Movin fast as my time runs out
Coal is something I can live without
Railroad fever got me a route
Like tumblweed I aint got no roots
You know no peace in a boxcar
Just cant sleep on a line
They catch you jumpin a freight train
They give you such a hard time
(lead)
East coast towns they are
Dark and cold
West coast ladies
They get right to my soul
But you know
Cant stand long
Bet all rairoaders
Are singin my song

Down
Another bridge I have burned
A lesson I learned
One more mistake to my cause
One more hand got lost
In a game
So I was up for awhile
Livin in style
Feelin high on the hog
I was down
Chorus:
Now some say I lost
His other soul
How barely a young man
Can sink so low
And I dont know..........dont care at all
I had a similar dream
Of my dreams
While
I thought I had wandered a mile
I was wrong
Now Im on the way up
When you reach the top
No way to go
And people just dont wanna know
When youre down

Hard Living
Hard living, every day of my life
Hard living, every night on the wine
Never givin, any one any time
Always losin, all I had all the time
Yes Im a selfish kinda man
All I need is a helping hand
Bad loser, never had anyone
Bad chooser, never owed never won
Fast mover, everyday on the run
Never knowing, if I feel or Im done
Hard living, every day of my life
Hard drinking, every night on the wine

Age of Innocence
We dismiss
The backroads
And ride these streets
Unafraid
Resort to
Scraping pain
From our bones
Unashamed
No more the eye upon you
No more the simple bane
Desolation yes
Hesitation no
Desolation yes
Hesitation no
As you might have guessed
All is never shown
Desolation yes
Hesitation no
And in my prayer
I dream alone
A silent speach
To deaf ears
If you want be love
You must be love
But if bleed love
You will die love
No more the eye upon you
Catch me starving out of shame
Desolation yes
Hesitation no
Desolation yes
Hesitation no
As you might have sensed
We won't make it home
Desolation yes
Hesitation no
But for the rites of spring
Come to mean all things
A little taste of what may come
A meer glimpse of what has gone
Cause for the moment we are free
We to find our release
Too young to die

Kentucky Fried Blues
I got no time to eat
I got no time to sleep
I got a truck full of stuff
Shouldve been there last week
Ive been livin in truck stops
My body feels used
Got the hamburger thats right, yeah
The kentucky fried blues
Flyin high in my cab
Got my foot on the gas
Got to get there tonight
Showin nothin but a pass
Tired of livin in truck stops, have mercy
My body feels used
Got the hamburger, thats right, yeah
Kentucky fried blues
Even in the fast lane
Seems to slow down my brain
Got one hell of a deadline
Riggers do not complain
Tired of livin in truck stops
Lord my body feels used
Got the hamburger thats right yeah, yeah, yeah
Kentucky fried blues.

And some words to make you cry
If youre sad shell make you happy

Tell Me That You Love Me
Tell me that you love me
Even though Im far away
Tell me that you need me
Help me through another day
Well, Im not new to this
Held on before when I should have let go
The mistakes that you make
Keep comin round like a family ghost
I just wanna know
Am I moving in or heading for the coast
She said:
Tell me that you love me
Even though youre far away
Tell me that you need me
Help me through another day
I dont know what to do
Im all dressed up no place to go
Sailing against the wind, cant figure it out
Which way it will blow
Show me now
Im lost at sea Im sinking below
Help me now
Tell me, tell me
Tell me that you love me
Even though youre far away
Tell me that you need me
Help me through another day.

Shot Me Down
I was feelin good, kinda high and cruisin
I was tryin to forget someone I had been losin
Then you came along, surprise, surprise
You shot me down
I was lyin crashed out on the ground
You shot me down
I was feelin fine, mellowed out and easy
I was comin back down kinda slow and lazy
Then you came along and fired the flame
You shot me down
I was lyin burned out on the ground
You shot me down, you shot me down
You shot me down
I was feelin good, kinda high and cruisin
I was tryin to forget someone I had been losin
