Right On Time
It's not my nature to be patient
I jump every river I cross
Not one for following the sensible side
And I can't count the times I've been lost.
Well, you can't see where you're goin' in the pourin' rain
When you're runnin' into walls and feeling no pain
We've all done time with the devil and I've done mine
It took a while to get here but, I'm right on time.
--- Instrumental ---
I may still regret some moments
But it's just part of a right
I count myself among the fortunate ones
Who made it to the other side.
Well, you go what you go through to get where you are
Lucky for me I didn't go too far
I turned around before the end of the line
Took a while to get here but, I'm right on time.
--- Instrumental ---
Well, you can't see where you're goin' in the pourin' rain
When you're runnin' into walls and feeling no pain
We've all done time with the devil and I've done mine
It took a while to get here but, I'm right on time.
It took a while to get here but, I'm right on time...

Friend Of The Devil
I lit out from reno, I was trailed by twenty hounds
Didnt get to sleep last night till the morning came around.
Set out runnin but I take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.
Ran into the devil, babe, he loaned me twenty bills
I spent the night in utah in a cave up in the hills.
Set out runnin but I take my time, a friend of the devil is a friend of mine,
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.
I ran down to the levee but the devil caught me there
He took my twenty dollar bill and vanished in the air.
Set out runnin but I take my time
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.
Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night,
The first ones named sweet anne marie, and shes my hearts delight.
The second one is prison, babe, the sheriffs on my trail,
And if he catches up with me, Ill spend my life in jail.
Got a wife in chino, babe, and one in cherokee
The first one says shes got my child, but it dont look like me.
Set out runnin but I take my time,
A friend of the devil is a friend of mine,
If I get home before daylight, I just might get some sleep tonight.

Runnin Down A Dream
It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
I had the radio on, I was drivin
The trees went by, me and del were singin
Little runaway, I was flyin
Yeah runnin down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin on a mystery, goin wherever it leads
Im runnin down a dream
I felt so good, like anything was possible
I hit cruise control and rubbed eyes
The last three days the rain was unstoppabl e
It was always cold, no sun shine
Yeah runnin down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin on a mystery, goin wherever it leads
Im runnin down a dream
I rolled on as the sky grew dark
I put the pedal down to make some time
Theres something good waitin down this road
Im pickin up whatever is mine
Yeah runnin down a dream
That never would come to me
Workin on a mystery, goin wherever it leads
Im runnin down a dream

No time, no time for you.

Got lots of better things to do.
Runnin from the risin heat
To find a place to hide,
The grass is always greener
Growin on the other side.

Tell me what you said again,
I cant believe its real.
No time, no time for you
I got no time, baby,
Got lots of better things to do.
Andy, youre a dandy,
You dont seem to make no sense.
Nevermind the furthermore,
The plea is self-defense
No time, no time for you

Got lots of better things to do.
Got no time

I'll Come Runnin' (feat. Tina Arena)
When the clouds surround you
And you're lost in the dark
When the sun won't come
And there's rain in your heart
When you need somebody
And there is nobody who understans
Wrap these arms around you
Take hold of my hand
Neve have to feel alone
Oh you know where I am
Any time you call me
As fast as lightening I'll be ther by your side
I'll be standing by
I'll come runnin'
You got someone
I'll always be there
I'll love away your troubles
When you're feeling low down
I'll be the friend you need
When a friend can't be found
I'll be the rock you lean on
When this old world just leans too hard on you
You just send a signal
I'll send you my heart
Never have to be afarid
When you're wrapped in my arms
Any time you need me
The widest ocean couldn't keep me away
Just call out my name
I'll come runnin'
You got someone
I'll always be there
I'll come runnin', I'll come runnin'
I'll come runnin' Baby
When you feel down
I will be around
Arms open wide
I;ll be standing, I'll be standing by
I'll come runnin'
You got someone
I'll alwaysbe there
You got something
You can trust in
I'll always be ther
I'll come runnin', I'll come runnin'
I'll come runnin' baby

Now Is The Time
(ian hunter)
(transcribed by justin purington; minor correction by colin ford)
I can smile
On a warm summer day
I can laugh
I can listen to the children play
But Im going to miss
The killer with the kiss
He was a friend of mine
Now is the time
Now is the time
Its going to rain
Hope it dont rain on you
Theres going to be a lot of pain
Before this thing is through
If jesus was alive
Hed be standing on the m5
Holding up a neon sign
Screaming now is the time
Now is the time
Now is the time
So many people cant see
They think that love is blind
But it aint free
Theres a line
So many people have crossed
And now their love is lost
Say goodbye
My funny valentine
Now is the time
Now is the time
Now is the time
Now is the time
I can run
Just as far as my eyes can see
And Im free, yeah,
Just as free as I want to be
But I wont ever forget
That crazy little planet
He was a friend of mine
Now is the time
Now is the time
Now is the time
Now is the time
Now is the time
Now is the time

Fast Train
Transcribed from a live performance on february 26, 2000 at the barbican in york, england. the first performance of this new song.
When you been on a fast train
And its goin off the rails
And you cant come back together again
You just start breakin down
In the pourin rain
Cause you been on a fast train
When your love has gone away
Dont it make you feel so sad
And you know Im returnin
Way into the land
And you start breakin down
And go into the pain
Cause you been on the fast train
You had to go on the lam
Cross into no mans land
Aint nobody here on your wavelength
And nobody gonna give you a helpin hand
You just start breakin down
And just go into the sun
When you hear that fast train
And you keep movin along
To the sound of the wheels
Deep inside your heart you really know
You know just how it feels
And you start breakin down
And the deserts reign on the fast train
Youre way over the line
This time youre out of your mind
This time youre out of your depth
And to the window you crack open
Oh but theres nowhere to go
Theres only sleet and theres snow
Keep on movin on a fast train
You hear theyre goin over the line
Oh standin on the edge of the hill
Oh nobody on their wavelength
Nobody to give you a helping hand
And you start breakin down
When you hear the sound
Keep on movin on a fast train
Im goin nowhere on a fast train
Goin nowhere
Goin nowhere on a fast train
Goin nowhere on a fast train
Fast train
Going nowhere
Goin nowhere on a fast train
To the wasteland
To the wasteland
On a fast train
On a fast train
On a fast train
Im goin nowhere
Im goin nowhere on a fast train
Goin nowhere
On a fast train

Border Lord
Darkness had us covered when we split from minnesota in the morning
In the rain
Black as I was feeling and the street was slick and shiny as a snake
Each of us was a-humming to a half forgotten echo
Hangin over in the brain
Tappin time and thinking of the time we never had the time to take
Losing to the rising cost of living high and loving hard
And leavin every yesterday behind
Learning every bridge you cross, is burning down before youre off and
Running
Like the devil just in time
Chorus:
Breakin any ties before they bind you
Taking any comfort you can find
Running like youre running out of time
Take it all-take it easy-till its over-understanding
When youre headin for the border lord
Youre bound to cross the line
Good lookin women every time you stumble
Waitin there to catch you when you fall
Gettin to you bad enough to let em
Keep you backin up till just before your backs against the wall
Chorus:
Breakin any ties before they bind you
Takin any comfort you can find
Runnin like youre runnin out of time
Take it all-take it easy-till its over-understanding
When youre headin for the border lord
Youre bound to cross the line

Runnin Blind
First you say one thing then you say another.
I dont know the difference, were you lyin to me baby?
But it seems to me you got yourself in a bind.
Always on the road playin your guitar.
Leaving me at home for cryin out loud.
Wish you could see babe that youre runnin blind, yeah!
Change is comin no more runnin
Change is comin no more runnin
Well its time for you to play all that you can say
Is get out of my way. dont be in the way
Always hear you screamin
I know youre just dreamin of leavin it all behind.
Hands keep goin up and down
Eyes are turnin around and around
Your goin crazy and nobody minds
Change is comin no more runnin
Change is comin no more runnin
Change is comin no more runnin
Change is comin no more runnin
Oooooo! you cant go on runnin blind!

Where Are We Runnin'?
Fast lane
High speed
On the grind
24/7
No time
Always runnin' here and there
Chasin' the money
So much jibber jabbers
Cloggin' up our soul
Where are we runnin'
We need some time to clear our heads
Where are we runnin'
Keep on working 'til we're dead
Where are we runnin'
Oo wee oo wee oo
Where are we runnin' now
In style
Profile
Got to buy
The new Cavalli
Keep the skin tight
And the booty in the air
Don't stop the party
The road is paved but narrow
I hope we all get home
Where are we runnin'?
We need some time to clear our heads
Where are we runnin'?
Keep on working 'til we're dead
Where are we runnin'?
Oo wee oo wee oo
Where are we runnin' now
Where you runnin' girl
I see you up there
Oh you up on that stage
You up there
I saw you
Where are we running
We need some time to clear our heads
Where are we runnin'
Keep on working 'til we're dead
Where are we runnin'
Oo wee oo wee oo
Where are we runnin' now

Fellas want to hang
And save tonight just
For the gang

The Day She Left Tulsa
We were half a mile high
on the Ferris Wheel
In our own county fair
I didn't even know we had trouble
until she told me way up there
That's when my life sarted standin round
and my world came crashin to the ground
Chorus:
The day she left Tulsa..........
In a chevy in a hurry in the pourinn down rain
where the caution lights flashin in the passin lane
on the bridge I watched our dreams go down the drain.
In a chevy in a hurry in the pourin down rain
and no she wasn't showin yet
but she'd be by Christmas time
But up there like a fool
I took for granted it was mine
she never came out and told me I was wrong
but all of a sudden the light came on
Chorus
I guess she thought the truth would
end up driving me away
but she was wrong
but I never had the chance to say
The day she left Tulsa.........
In a chevy in a hurry in the pourin down rain (2x)

Ill Come Runnin
Its been such a long time
Since I havent seen your face.
Theres a tear on your cheek
Where your smile used to be cause Im going away.
We had such a good time,
Though we knew this day might come.
So when you hold me tonight, squeeze a little tighter
cause in the morning, Ill be gone.
And, I tell you, baby, now, I might be long.
But, Ill come runnin.
Ill come runnin home.
Ill come runnin home to you.
Ill come runnin (Ill come runnin).
Ill come runnin home (Ill come).
Ill come runnin home to you.
Its already 5 am.
We havent got much sleep just yet.
Sun is rising.
I wish I could make time stand still.
I look in your eyes, now, love and I dont know what to say.
The words, the words.
And if you say youll wait me for me, now, I know youll try.
But, Ill come runnin.
Ill come runnin home.
Ill come runnin home to you, you.
I will come runnin home (Ill come runnin).
Ill never leave you alone, girl (Ill come).
Ill always come runnin home to you. you.

Ending In Tragedy
I tried to save us
But little did I know
Your a speeding train off track
With little time to go
I tired everything
Tried so hard to let you know
But know Im on my last thread
Pulling away to no avail
Yeah
Now its our time
Yeah
Now its our time
And I'll see you on the other side
Beneath all your skin
Theres another side to you
You built up city walls so I
Can never get through
You built up city walls so I
Can never get through
Yeah
Now its our time
Yeah
Now its our time
And I'll see you on the other side
Why would I take it too far
With not thinking
About the end at all
If a fortune could say
What the furture will bring
Then im not conviced
Its ending in tragedy
And most of all
Its in my control
To end it all
Now its our time
Yeah
Now its our time
And I'll see you on the other side
Now its our time
yeah
Now its our time
And I'll see you on the other side

Silver & Gold
Workin hard every day
Never notice how the time slips away
People come, seasons go
We got something thatll never grow old
I dont care if the sun dont shine
And the rain comes pourin down on me and mine
cause our kind of love
Never seems to get old
Its better than silver and gold
I used to have a treasure chest
Got so heavy that I had to rest
I let it slip away from me
Didnt need it anyway.
So I let it slip away.
I dont care if the sun dont shine
And the rain comes pourin down on me and mine
cause our kind of love
Never seems to get old
Its better than silver and gold
I dont care if the sun dont shine
And the rain comes pourin down on me and mine

Never seems to get old

Time in Iraq
A time to fight,
A time to pray,
A time to leave,
A time to stay.
A time to question guilt,
A time to count the friendships built.
A time to smile,
A time to cry.
A time to say 'Hello'
A time to say 'Goodbye'
A time for living,
A time for giving,
A time for forgiving,
A time for pain.
A time to blame.
A time to kill,
A time to maim.
A time to to settle back,
A time to retire and stay home.

When Seconds Count
Cant remember just how it ended
Im hazy as to how it began
Crazy how our lives got so tangled
Now were simply silent partners again
Secretly walking a tightrope
Come fall into the arms of the past
-- cause its still the same me
Still the same you
Who swore those promises would still ring true...
*when your heart cries out
In the middle of a sleepless night
And youre lost and feeling lonely
When seconds count
Count on me, count on me
When your dream dies hard
And youre stranded out on the boulevard
Ill be there in a heartbeat
When seconds count
Count on me, you can always count on me*
Special moments taken for granted
Tenderness that found no reward
Funny how youd speak of forever
Only to wind up restless and bored
Can sweethearts so suddenly strangers
Recapture in a moment the fire
Well its still the same me
Still the same you
The same two children deep down its true...
( * repeat)
Im going back in time to how it used to be
(instrumental)
Now its a race with time
Until I change your mind
( * repeat)

Devil Dance
I can see it but you wont
I look around you are alone
Memories they seem to fade
And I said I would stand by your side
But his side seems to be your side
Dont let me get in the way
So you can do-si-do with the devil in the dark
And around and around you go, no
Do-si-do with the devil in the dark
And desperate for a sense of self
But you only look to someone else
When the answers buried in your head
Grow farther from the life you crave
Grow empty with each passing day
Oblivious to every thing
But you still do-si-do with the devil in the dark
And around and around you go, no
Do-si-do with the devil in the dark
Around and around you go you go
With no way out
No screams allowed
So be still you feel fine
Dont escape you are mine
Illusions following you fast
Reality left in the past
The floor has fallen from your feet
But you still do-si-do with the devil in the dark
And around and around you go, no
Do-si-do with the devil in the dark
Its been upon his finger all the time
All the time
You feel fine.
