"Miami"

"Miami"

They saw the lights on the horizon
Out of the seas it came shinin'
The buildings so high
They seemed to touch the sky
Miami, Oh, Miami

They felt the warm breezes blowing
From off the strange new ocean
They reached the end safe
It was a new day
Miami, Oh, Miami

Oh, it must've seemed
Something from a dream
Shinin' through the night
All those city lights
Staring at the shore
Hungry, tired and worn
Could it really be
Were they really free

And so they came
A hundred thousand
To find a way of life
They could believe in
Far away from home
With nothing of their own
To Miami, Oh Miami

They saw the lights
Miami

"Midnight Rider"
(feat. Greg Allman)

"Midnight Rider"
(feat. Greg Allman)

I got to run to keep from hiding
And I'm bound to keep on riding
I've got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let 'em
Catch the midnight, rider

I don't own the clothes I'm wearing
And the road goes on forever
I've got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let 'em
Catch the midnight, rider

I don't own the clothes I'm wearing
Some old bed I'll soon be sharing
I've got one more silver dollar
But I'm not gonna let them catch
The midnight, rider

Not gonna let 'em catch me

"Momma"

"Momma"

I was the baby brother
I was the quiet other
And I remember mother so well
I was the little stranger
I never was in danger
I could'a had a manger, pray tell

Oh, how she could control me
And when I was bad she'd scold me
Sometimes she wouldn't hold me, and I'd cry
But momma she never told me a lie
Momma she never told me a lie

I used to stay out evenings
Stay out too late some evenings
And momma would be there seething
Back home

Momma, she sat and waited
Sat in the hall and waited
Now I know why she hated that phone
And when I'd come in she'd grab me
Right by the arm she'd grab me
And Lord, when she was finished with me
I'd cry, oh, I'd cry

But momma she never told me a lie
Momma she never told me a lie

Oh how she could control me
And when I was bad she'd scold me
Sometimes she wouldn't hold me, and I'd cry
But momma she never told me a lie
Momma she never promised the sky
Momma she never told me a lie

"Mongrel"

"Mongrel"

Here come the mountains, here come the hills
Here come the valleys and Shoreline still
I've seen 'em all, I know 'em well
Mongrel, on the hard sell
With a fortrel polyester ink well hord, Hot assed, Inkwell Lord,
But I can't leave you with the blues no
Remember days, and endless nights
Spread my freedom and I scream for my rights
Thru empty days and endless nights
Spurned my creator, screamed for my rights
Child of green candles in the wishin well
Mongrel, Hard sell
With a fortrel polyester ink well hord, Hot assed, Inkwell Lord,
But I can't leave you with the blues no

Come down to ?, I'll buy you out
Gonna make you shake it Lord gonna make you shout
Gonna burn you gonna, make you swell
Mongrel, on a hard sell
With a fortrel polyester ink well hord, Hot assed, Inkwell Lord,
But I can't leave you with the blues no
No no

"Need Ya"

"Need Ya"

I used to be a very carefree man,
A loving man of the world.
Yeah, I would still be except for the time
When I met ya, little girl.

Say, I've tried and I've tried but I just can't.
You sure got a hold on me.
Ah, your good, good lovin' is makin' me faint,
Mama, please don't set me free.

Because I need ya, need ya, need ya, need ya, yeah.
(Need ya, need ya)
Oh, need ya, need ya, need ya, need ya, yeah.
(Need ya, need ya)

You got that kinda air that drives me insane
And sometime ya sure got me new.
Ah, sometimes I feel like knockin' you down,
But I would never pull that scene.

Though I get tired, I know that you know
That I'd never do you wrong.
'Cause when it's late and I feel down, turn the lights on low
And I will hold things in my soul.

'Cause I need ya, need ya, need ya, need ya, yeah.
(Need ya, need ya)
I'm gonna need ya, need ya, need ya, need ya, yeah.
(Need ya, need ya)
Yeah ... ooh yeah.

Ah, need ya, need ya, need ya, need ya, yeah.
(Need ya, need ya, need ya, need ya)
You know I need ya, need ya, need ya, need ya, yeah.
(Need ya, need ya, need ya, need ya)
Yeah, oh, oh, need ya, need ya, need ya, need ya, yeah.
(Need ya, need ya, need ya, need ya)
Oh yeah, need ya, need ya, need ya, need ya, yeah.
Oh, ... (Need ya, need ya, need ya, need ya )
Oh, ... (Need ya, need ya, need ya , need ya)

"Neon Sky"

"Neon Sky"

There's the neon sky, that I know so well
There's the smokey room, where I chose to dwell
Though I hear your heart, many miles away
The neon sky, tells me I must stay

Through the windy field, of another land
I have seen your face, girl, I have held your hand
Though I should be there, with you there today
The neon sky knows that I must stay

Cause the devil's red, but his money is green
That's where I'm from, oh, that's where I've been

On a dusty stage, many years ago,
I chose my road, still I hope you know
That there'll come a day with the neon sky
When we'll walk into the sun, you and I

Yes now he calls, beckons unto me
From the empty hall, from the galleries
And so I must go, leave you here today
Cause the neon sky orders me away

"New Coat Of Paint"
(originally by Tom Waits)

"New Coat Of Paint"
(originally by Tom Waits)

Let's put a New Coat of Paint
On this lonesome old town
Set 'em up, set 'em up we'll be knockin' 'em down
You wear a dress babe, I'll wear a tie
We'll laugh at that old bloodshot moon
In that burgundy sky

All our scribbled love dreams
Lost or thrown away
Never miss the shuffle on an overflowin' day
When love needs a transfusion
Shoot it full of wine
Fishin' for a good time
Starts with throwin' in your line

Let's put a New Coat of Paint
On this lonesome old town
Set 'em up, set 'em up we'll be knockin' 'em down
You wear a dress babe, I'll wear a tie
We'll laugh at that old bloodshot moon
In that burgundy sky

"Night Moves"

"Night Moves"

I was a little too tall
Could've used a few pounds
Tight pants points hardly reknown
She was a black-haired beauty with big dark eyes
And points all her own sitting way up high
Way up firm and high

Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy
Out in the back seat of my '60 Chevy
Workin' on mysteries without any clues
Workin' on our night moves
Tryin' to make some front page drive-in news
Workin' on our night moves
In the summertime
In the sweet summertime

We weren't in love, oh no, far from it
We weren't searchin' for some pie in the sky summit
We were just young and restless and bored
Livin' by the sword
And we'd steal away every chance we could
To the backroom, to the alley or the trusty woods
I used her, she used me
But neither one cared
We were gettin' our share
Workin' on our night moves
Tryin' to lose the awkward teenage blues
Workin' on our night moves
And it was summertime

And oh the wonder
We felt the lightning
And we waited on the thunder
Waited on the thunder

I awoke last night to the sound of thunder
How far off I sat and wondered
Started humming a song from 1962
Ain't it funny how the night moves
When you just don't seem to have as much to lose
Strange how the night moves
With autumn closing in

"Nine Tonight"

"Nine Tonight"

She says she wants to see me
She's tired of stayin in
She says she wants some rockin'
Shes got the right man
I'm gonna take her ridin'
Out past the edge of town
Out where the wind's still racin' free on the heartland
I'll be there nine tonight
nine tonight
nine tonight
Can't wait for nine tonight
nine tonight
nine tonight

I'll be there nine tonight
ooh, nine tonight
nine tonight
She might be my baby
She might be mine - tonight
Nine tonight
nine tonight
nine tonight
she might be mine tonight

I'm movin' in to action
I'm shinin' up mt wheels
I'm tryin' hard to think of the right things to say now
The sun is slowly sinkin'
Here comes a great big moon
I'm startin' up my engine
It won't be long now

I'll be there nine tonight
nine tonight
nine tonight
Can't wait for nine tonight
nine tonight
nine tonight

I'll be there nine tonight
ooh, nine tonight
nine tonight
She might be my baby
She might be mine - tonight
Nine tonight
nine tonight
nine tonight
she might be mine tonight
