"King Of El Paso"

"King Of El Paso"


About a million stars in that desert sky
So high and lonesome it can make you want to cry
Or drive your young blood wild

And a burning glow above that northern ridge
Three day ride will get you straight down to old Juarez
A fool's El Dorado

He got a taste for Mescal and sweet perfume
Didn't take long to get him in the back room

All of sixteen and first taste of the border

There's a pile of bones out on the desert floor
All that's left of el Conquistador.. the conqueror

Well I rode that beast down into the ground
Through every draw and every border town
That devil carried me

You watch a few go down to the fire or the rope
You leave little to chance and nothing to hope

An old 24 and nothing could hold me down

(Ain't gonna ride no more)

Ain't gonna ride no more

Well you cross it once you're gonna cross it again
Something keeps you coming back to that shadowland

And so I did for the mysteries

To hear that old soul stirrer slamming through the night
Tombstone train cuts its own daylight

Ain't gonna ride no more

Though my leathers worn and my cuffs in tatters
My hearts on straight and that's all that matters
If I lose a few moves it aint no loss
Cause there's only one border left for me to cross

(Ain't gonna ride no more)

I'll take my sweet time on that one

Aint gonna ride no more

(Ain't gonna ride no more)

Oh I aint gonna ride no more

They call me King Of El Paso and my advice
Learn that road between here and paradise

(Ain't gonna ride no more)

Ain't gonna ride no more

(Ain't gonna ride no more)

"Last Tango On 16th Street"

"Last Tango On 16th Street"


Selling late night transfers
Try to make a play
The people with the answers
Don’t offer passers way
Starting from the Lurence
All the way to trees
It’s the last tango on 16th Street

Later that we dance, will mean all that looks
There’s a lot learn out here
Not bound and bus
We got this all form the winter rain,
Watch out for a hit,
When it’s the last tango on 16th Street

Same old people bagging quoters
Stretching up the hands
Banders selling flores
From a plastic can
Some of ball beronnes, all this lion chick
Well it’s the last tango on 16th Street

All the homeless helpless need a place to stay
Asking you for spachings
Don’t know what to say
Gipsy play her melody, a broken tooth just smile so sweet
It’s the last tango on 16th Street

Same old song, I know you heard it
Many times before
Why this life in poverty seems so much like a war
Just make sure you carefull
Where you place your feet
When it’s the last tango on 16th Street

Some of them don’t see so good when they leave the bars
Talking so ugly
Stepping from the cars
If you holding by your balls, paise to be descrese
Cuz it’s the last tango on 16th Street

Dodge between the hooker and between the vice
Full moon shine above the bay
You can see it in her eyes
Passes kept street dougless
Your heart might skip a bit
When it’s the last tango on 16th Street

"Let It Happen"

"Let It Happen"


Now I'm the kind of guy
Don't let a good thing pass me by
I've added two and two
Come up with me and you
Why not lets give it a try

And I believe that you're the kind of girl
Who could brighten up this poor boys world
So stop your hesitating
Aint no need to waiting
If you love me don't wonder why

Oh let it oh let it happen
You and me
Let it oh let it
Just let it happen
Let it happen to you
Let it happen to me
Come on now come on baby

Well I know you're daddy's girl
And I respect what your mama said
But I'm sure they'd understand
Cause thats how mama got a man
And that you can't deny

And I believe that its time you realized
And opened up your pretty eyes
And see that when the real thing comes along
You'd better get it before its gone
Just don't let it pass you by

Let it whoah let it
Let it happen
To you and me baby
Let it oh oh let it happen
Let it happen to you
Darling let it happen to me
Come on come on baby

Let it oh let it just let it happen
One more time baby
Let it please let it happen

"Lido Shuffle"

"Lido Shuffle"


Lido missed the boat that day
He left the shack
But that was all he missed
And he ain't comin back

At a tombstone bar
In a jukejoint car
He made a stop
Just long enough
To grab a handle off the top

Next stop Chi town
Lido put the money down let em roll
He said one more job ought to get it
One last shot 'fore we quit it
One for the road

Lido.. woah oh oh oh
He's for the money
He's for the show
Lido's waiting for the go

Lido.. woah oh oh oh
He said one more job ought to get it
One last shot 'fore we quit it
One more for the road

Lido will be runnin'
Havin' great big fun
Until he got the note
Sayin' tow the line or blow it
And that was all he wrote

He'll be makin' like a bee line
Headin' for the border line
Goin' for broke
Sayin' one more hit ought to do it
This joint aint nothin' to it
One more for the road

Lido.. whoah oh oh oh
He's for the money
He's for the show
Lido's waiting for the go

Lido.. woah oh oh oh oh oh oh
One more job ought to get it
One last shot then we quit it
One more for the road

Lido.. woah oh oh oh
He's for the money
He's for the show
Lido's a waitin' for the go
Lido.. woah oh oh oh

"Loan Me A Dime"


Somebody loan me a dime
I need to call my old time used to be
Somebody loan me a dime mmm

Little girl's been gone so long
You know it's worrying me
Hey it's worrying worrying me

"Look What I Got"

"Look What I Got"


Go ahead and ask me
You know that I don't lie
But I've found another woman who's caught my eye
I wasn't lookin' for someone new
But then you weren't around when I needed you

So look what I've got to come home to
She don't mistreat me like you used to do
Just look what I've got to come home to
If you treated me right I'd be comin' home to you

You never did nothin' to make me stay
Now you wanna know why you throw'd me away
I'll give you a reason it's easy to see
When I was around you didn't have time for me

Look what I've got to come home to
She don't mistreat me like you used to do
Just look what I've got to come home to
If you treated me right I'd be comin' home to you

Yeah look what I've got
Take a look what I've got
Look what I've got to come home to

It's too late now for you and me
To be the same as we used to be
You've had your chance we've tried to make it again
But now you walked out and she's walked in

So look what I've got to come home to
You never loved me like this little girl tries to do
Look what I've got to come home to
If you treated me right I'd be comin' home to you

Hey look what I've got
Look what I've got
Take a look what I've got
Look what I've got
Take a look what I've got myself
Look what I've got
Take a look at myself
Take a look at me
Take a look at myself
Look what I've got

"Look What You've Done To Me"

"Look What You've Done To Me"


Hope they never end this song
This could take us all night long
I looked at the moon and I felt blue
Then I looked again and I saw you
Eyes like fire in the night
Bridges burning with their light
Now I want to spend the whole night through
And Honey, Yes, I'd like to spend it all on you

Love, look what you've done to me
Never thought I'd fall again so easily
Oh, love, you wouldn't lie to me
Leading me to feel this way...

They might fade and turn to stone
Let's get crazy all alone
Hold me closer than you'd ever dare
Close your eyes and I'll be there
After all is said and done
After all you are the one
Take me up your stairs and through the door
Take me where we don't care anymore...

Love, look what you've done to me
Never thought I'd fall again so easily
Oh, love, you wouldn't lie to me... would you
Leading me to feel this way...

Love, look what you've done to me
Never thought I'd fall again so easily
Oh, love, you wouldn't lie to me
Leading me to feel this way...

"Lost It"

"Lost It"


Another day another mountain
Who's to say they never move
Cause we moved one after another
Till there was nothing left to prove

Then we turned around and tossed it
After all that we'd been through
When I look at what it cost us
I guess it's time I faced the truth

Maybe I lost it
When I lost you
Maybe I lost it
When I lost you

The night we climbed above the ruins
The gypsies sang those ancient Spanish blues
I saw a man awake but still dreaming
I saw myself in love with you

I walk around I think about it
And all the things that we went through

To tell you the truth

Maybe I lost it
When I lost you
Maybe I lost it.. yeah lost it
When I lost you

I walk around I think about it
And all the things that we went through
The more I think about it
It wasn't you.. that I lost
No no

Was it the dream or just the notion
Well I lost it.. when I lost you

I had it.. maybe I lost it
Yeah lost it.. when I lost you
I had it in the palm of my hand
And baby I lost it
I lost it.. when I lost you

I had it.. had it.. had it
Whoah I had it yeah
And I lost you

Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
I lost it
When I lost you

"Love Anyway"

"Love Anyway"


Lover here is something
To last you through the night
I'll make it clear
I'll make you hear
And I'll make it.. all right

Lover.. lover lover
Love her all the time
Some love burns
And some returns
But love come what may

All our sorrows pass away
Its all tomorrow anyway
All that's wrong
Makes loves sad song
Love anyway hey

Hmmmmmm

All our sorrows pass away
Its all tomorrow anyway
All that's wrong
Makes loves sad song
Gone tomorrow and here today
And nothing ever comes to stay
Love.. love love anyway

Hmmmmmm

Gone tomorrow here today
Nothing ever comes to stay
Take love come what may
Take it everyday
Love.. love.. love
Love.. anyway
