"Stealer"

"Stealer"



I went down to the center of the town
Beneath my feet was the burning ground
She stood on the corner, sexy as can be
Said hey good looking walk along with me
And I said yeah, huh, oh yeah
I'm your stealer, come to steal your love

Sun was shining, the world was bright
I said tell me darling
Where you gonna be tonight now
Goin' 'round the corner
Where the music's loud
I'm tired of the city
i'm gonna cat me around
And I said yeah, oh yeah
I'm your stealer, I come to steal your love

Goin' 'round the corner
Where the music's loud
I'm tired of the city
I'm gonna go cat me around
And I said yeah, oh yeah
I'm your stealer, come to steal your love

"Still The Same"

"Still The Same"



You always won, everytime you placed a bet
You're still damn good, no one's gotten to you yet
Everytime they were sure they had you caught
You were quicker than they thought
You'd just turn your back and walk
You always said, the cards would never do you wrong
The trick you said was never piay the game too long
A gambler's share, the only risk that you would take
The only loss you could forsake
The only bluff you couldn't fake

And you're still the same
I caught up with you yesterday
Moving game to game
No one standing in your way
Turning on the charm
Long enough to get you by
You're still the same
You still aim high

There you stood, everybody watched you play
I just turned and walked away
I had nothing left to say

'Cause you're still the same
You're still the same
Moving game to game
Some thlngs never change
You're still the same

"Sunburst"

"Sunburst"



The crowd without a face
Begins to fill the space
In the arena
Flashlights at his feet
The lion from the street
Awaits the Christians
A single strobe ignites the night

The smoke begins to rise
A sea of staring eyes
Gaze on the sunburst
His weapon at his side
He flashes it with pride
Before his legions
Fires begin to rage
And they engulf the stage
All right
Bring on the night

He's in complete control
He's stepping proud and bold
And everything he touches
Turns to gold
He's got girls by the score
He's got 'em screaming for more
But when they get too close
He bars the door

He makes his great escape
Leaves them in his wake
Without a warning
The ritual is done
A night no longer young
Fades into morning
The sun begins to rise
As he begins to close his eyes

"Sunspot Baby"

"Sunspot Baby"



She packed up her bags and she took off down the road
Left me here stranded with the bills she owed
She gave me a false address
Took off with my American Express
Sunspot Baby
She sure had me way outguessed

She left me here stranded like a dog out in the yard
Charged up a fortune on my credit card
She used my address and my name
Man that was sure unkind
Sunspot Baby
She sure has a real good time

I looked in Miami
I looked in Negril
The closest I came was a month old bill
I checked the Bahamas and they said she was gone
I can't understand why she did me so wrong

But she packed up her bags
And she took off down the road
Said she was going to visit sister Flo
She used my address and my name
And man that was sure unkind
Sunspot Baby
I'm gonna catch up sometime
Sure had a real good time

"Take A Chance"

"Take A Chance"



You Take A Chance on an airplane
You Take A Chance when you cross the street
You Take A Chance when you love somebody
When you're standing near the heat

You Take A Chance when you're honest
You Take A Chance when you tell lies
You Take A Chance when you trust somebody
When you look 'em in the eyes

Take A Chance on me
Take A Chance on me
I'm exactly what you see honey
Take A Chance on me

You Take A Chance when you're indecisive
You Take A Chance when you're aloof
You Take A Chance when you judge somebody
When you've really got no proof

You Take A Chance when you refuse to hear
You Take A Chance when you're unkind
You Take A Chance when you refuse to grow up baby
You end up left behind

Take A Chance on me
Take A Chance on me
I'm exactly what you see honey
Take A Chance on me

You Take A Chance when you're ruthless
You Take A Chance when you're cruel
You Take A Chance when you make a vow babe
To be nobody's fool

You Take A Chance when you're distant
You Take A Chance when you live inside
You Take A Chance when someone loves you
And you leave them with no pride

Take A Chance on me
Take A Chance on me
I'm exactly what you see honey
Take A Chance on me

Oh Take A Chance on me
Take A Chance on me
I'm exactly what you see honey
Take A Chance on me

"Tales Of Lucy Blue"

"Tales Of Lucy Blue"



Empty words falling on ears which have never heard
Hollow lies, comin' from lost, hung up and lonely guys
Through the night, make a sight
Other rider looks so true
Sinnin', spinnin', tales of Lucy Blue

Piercing smile filling her face for a little while,
Closin' door, leaving the heart open and wounded more
Gone away, lonely day
Turning gray with no clue
Faking, making, tales of Lucy Blue, oh oh oh

Restless night longing for love beneath the neon light
Desperate hands reachin' for someone who'll understand
Stroll around, through the town
Lost and found, when it's due
Sellin', tellin', tales of Lucy Blue

Yeah Lucy Blue one or two
Just for you hey yeah
Tales of Lucy Blue

"Teachin' Blues"

"Teachin' Blues"



Yeah hell yeah now I can hear the gypsy wind a howlin'
Ain't got time to lean against your wall
I gotta hit the road and keep on movin'
I'm gonna roll and smoke and boogie and ball now

Been abused, got my shoes, paid my dues, teachin' blues

Yeah I'm goin' ridin' to the gates of freedom
Cruisin till the sun she falls
I'm gonna follow my god into Eden
While I roll and smoke and boogie and ball
Light my fuse, get to choose, teachin' blues

"The Aftermath"

"The Aftermath"



Dressed up to the nines
Dancin' three-quarter time
The champagne is on ice
No one's gonna guess
In your brand new dress
Girl, you sure look nice

Have a good time
Honey, don't look back
Stone in the middle of the aftermath

Don't wink, don't blink
Don't let `em think
His leavin's got you down
Stand straight, hang tough
When they bring it up
Baby hold your ground

If they pry, don't sigh
Pass it off with a laugh
It's all part of living through the aftermath

You can do it honey
Keep that smile so sunny
You can show them what they want to see
Yes, you can

It's a cold, hard scene
The singles thing
Losers everywhere
And it hurts to the bone
Headin' home alone
When someone used to be there

So you take a few falls
And you learn to bounce back
It's all part of living through the aftermath

Living through the aftermath
Baby, don't look back
It's the aftermath

"The Answer's In The Question"
(with Patty Loveless)

"The Answer's In The Question"
(with Patty Loveless)



The answer's in the question
Will you be home late again
Will you find the courage
When truth come closin' in
When trust is almost broken
Faith is hard to find
The answer's in the question
Will you leave this all behind

The heart's a lonely hunter
It never quite feels safe
The devil's in the details
The thrill is in the chase
You rise and fall like water
You try to stay the same
The only thing that's certain

Is that everything will change
How will I be remembered
Will my critics be unkind
The answer's in the question
You must leave this all behind

"The Devil's Right Hand"

"The Devil's Right Hand"



About the time that Daddy left to fight the big war
I saw my first pistol in the general store
In the general store, when I was thirteen
Thought it was the finest thing I ever had seen
So l asked if I could have one someday when I grew up
Mama dropped a dozen eggs, she really blew up
She really blew up and I didn't understand
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand

The devil's right hand, the devil's right hand
Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand

My very first pistol was a cap and ball Colt
Shoot as fast as lightnin' but it loads a mite slow
Loads a mite slow and soon I found out
It can get you into trouble but it can't get you out
So then I went and bought myself a Colt 45
Called a peacemaker but I never knew why
Never knew why, I didn't understand
'Cause Mama said the pistol is the devil's right hand

Well I get into a card game in a company town
Caught a miner cheating I shot the dog down
Shot the dog down, watched the man fall
Never touched his holster, never had a chance to draw
The trial was in the morning and they drug me out of bed
Asked me how I pleaded, not guilty I said
Not guilty I said, you've got the wrong man
Nothing touched the trigger but the devil's right hand
