"Two Roads"

"Two Roads"


Ain't it funny how you never can tell
It always seems to hit you when it's going so well
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing
Now it's lawyers-at-midnight and the learning begins
Let's take a walk outside in the morning sun
Here ain't working out no battles to be won
Oh darling take a look at you and me
We both love our freedom and we'll always be
Two roads

You can wait a lifetime for the hammer to fall
Some folks get lucky they don't see it at all
We were bound to drift away from the very first day one
Two different journeys and neither was wrong

Let's take a walk outside in the morning sun
Here ain't working out no battles to be won
Oh darling take a look at you and me
We both love our freedom and we'll always be
Two roads
Two different lifetimes we just happened to meet
Traded some good times on the corner of the street
We were no more than strangers attracted to one
And the same sense of freedom but we'll always be on
Two roads

"Waiting For A Blue Sky"

"Waiting For A Blue Sky"


He sits upon the empty sand
and gazes up to the endless grey
The weathered face
and battered hands
Protest the soul
that carried them so far this way

The beaten skin
is turning to a wrinkled smile
And his eyes light up
and give his soul away

He said, I'm waiting for a blue sky
I am waiting for a bright day
I'll be there thru the wind and rain
Don't care what anybody says

I'm waiting for a morning bright
that fills the day with all its clean bright light
I'm waiting for a blue sky

I'm waiting for a blue sky
I'm waiting for a bright day
I'll be there thru the wind and rain
Don't care what anyone else says

I'm waiting for a morning bright
that fills the day with all its clean bright light
I'm waiting for a blue sky

"Waiting For Love"

"Waiting For Love"


I saw an old soul
Out on the street
Certain kind of sad eyes
Seemed so strong and so deep
I say where are you going?
What do you do?
I need to find out
Why I’m so affected by you
A voice of an angel

Came from this battered soul
He said I’m waiting for love
Oh I’m waiting for love

There were tears in his eyes
All the different kind
So full of lies
But refusing to shine
They burned like a fire
Of what could have been
If only we’d looked
Maybe we could have seen
Voice of an angel
Came from this battered soul
He said I’m waiting for love
I’m waiting for love
Oh I’m waiting for love
Yeah, I’m waiting for love

Nobody knows, nobody cares
Everyone wants it
But nobody shares
I’m waiting for love
He said I’m waiting for love
Oh I’m waiting for love

"Walkin' Country Blues"

"Walkin' Country Blues"


Well, I'm looking for the boss man
Maybe give some work to me
Yeah, I'm looking for the boss man
Maybe give some work to me
Trouble is I keep finding
They want you to work for free
Keep on walking, keep on walking country blues

I got two strong arms, mister
They won't let you down
I got two strong arms, mister
They won't let you down
But the boss man say, ain't no work around
Gotta keep on walking
Keep on walking country blues

Well, papa was a slave, it was all he ever knew
Well, papa was a slave, it was all he ever knew
They tell me that I'm free
But I ain't got no work to do
Keep on walking
Keep on walking country blues

"Wasted Love"

"Wasted Love"


Who’s that knockin’ on my door
Who is crying
I wanna know
In sleepless nights
You turn and pray
And hide from mornings
Mornings blinding grey
Time will pass by
And still you hear
Those children cry
Tears of pain
From a sky way above
The broken heart
Of a wasted love
Wasted love

See it out on a highway
See it down in a street
See the leaders stand smiling
As it dies at their feet
Tears of pain
From a sky way above
The broken heart
Of a wasted love

Time will pass by
And still you hear
Oh those children cry
Tears of pain
From the sky way above
The broken heart
Of a wasted love
The broken heart
Of a wasted love

"Weekend Down Mexico"

"Weekend Down Mexico"


I remember the days gone by
I would wipe a tear from your pretty little eyes
And say darling don't you cry
We'll find a way
We'll get by

You looked at me with a wonderful smile
We held each other close for a while
Two young souls sworn never to part
Their love was too strong

And I can never let go
The memory that haunts me so
That long long weekend
Down mexico

And sometimes I still feel it inside
And taste one of those tears that we cried
Two young souls sworn never to part
Their love was too strong

And I can never let go
The memory that haunts me so
That long long weekend
Down mexico

"What Became Of You"

"What Became Of You"


What became of you?
And all you reasons why
This special love we knew
Would always end up in the pile
It took an age it seems
To let the tears run dry
Yeah I'll survive
I guess so much is true
That every time
That morning sun breaks through
I wonder what became of you

What became of you?
And all the promises you made
If what you said is rue
The debt of truth you left unpaid
the pain will always need to know
Where did you go?
What did you do?
What became of you

The wound had healed
But there's an aching scar
So deep and blue
The pain will always be to know
Where did you go?
What did you do?
What became of you?

"What I'm Looking For"

"What I'm Looking For"


Oh, when I look out of my window
I see mama sitting by the door
Yeah, look out of my window
I see my mama sitting by the door
I said mama I can't come back
'Til I find, 'til I find what I'm looking for
'Til I find what I'm looking for

Oh, mama tell me find some young girl
Like my daddy and brother before
Oh mama tell me to find some young girl
Like my daddy and brother before
I said mama you know i can't do that
'Til I find, 'til I find what I'm looking for
'Til I find what I'm looking for

Now the wind is blowing
And my fingers freezing up
Oh I can't, like I can't take more now
But you know I ain't gonna stop now
Ain't never gonna give up
'Til I find, 'til I find what I'm looking for
Oh 'til I find what I'm looking for

Oh I can cry when I close my eyes
I see my mama sitting by the door
Yeah I could cry when I close my eyes
Oh I see my mama sitting by the door

There's something deep inside says no
'Til I find, 'til I find, Oh 'til I find what I'm looking for
Oh yeah, 'til I find what I'm looking for
Oh yeah, 'til I find, 'til I find, Oh 'til I find what I'm looking for
'Til I find what I'm looking for

"What Made Me Love You"

"What Made Me Love You"


I got your letter
The other day
I guess I knew
What you could not day
Oh babe
I can forgive
But I can't forget

Because your cheating heart
Well it done me wrong
I fell for your lies
Now you've been and gone
I can forgive
But I can't forget

You cheated on me
Well, you hurt me so
You said you loved me
That you would never go
What made me love you
I will never know
What made me love you

"What She Really Is"

"What She Really Is"


One day you will find
That you done her wrong
When it's all passed on over
All dead and gone
You drink to what you
What you thought she was
And I will drink to
What she really is

And if you ever thought
That she lost her way
Well it hurts me much more
Cos you did not say
And what was all true
One day you will see
Oh don't be confused
It's not what came to be
It's how that she is
And always will be
Now you ask yourself
Why did you not see

How you'd like to be
in your wildest dream
Well that's how she saw you
how it could have been
Come on drink up some more
To what you thought she was
And I'll drink to the angel that she really is

Such a pain now to find out
Now it's way past and gone
What you wanted her to be
She was all along
So come on drink up some more
To what you thought she was
And I'll drink to what
To what she, she really is
