"Athens To Athens"

"Athens To Athens"


I'm gonna leave my girl you should see
She is so fine
It's Better Athens to Athens
Kinda day and night

I'm gonna go into town
Going to try to flag a ride
It's Better Athens to Athens
Kinda day and night

I'm gonna watch the sun come up
Fires gonna rise
It's Better Athens to Athens
Kinda day and night

It's Better Athens to Athens
Kinda day and night

"Baby You Gotta Change Your Mind"

"Baby You Gotta Change Your Mind"


Baby if you think I'm crazy about you
You gotta change your mind
Baby if you think I'm crazy about you
You gotta change your mind

I woke up this morning 'bout half past four
Somebody knocking at my back door
If you think I'm crazy about you
You gotta change your mind
You better change your mind
Baby if you think I'm crazy about you
You gotta change your mind
Baby if you think I'm crazy about you
You gotta change your mind

Whatcha doin mama, you'lle do it again
I'm setting out 'bout half past ten
Baby if you think I'm crazy about you
You gotta change your mind
I mean you better change your mind

Baby if you think I'm crazy about you
You gotta change your mind
Baby if you think I'm crazy about you
You gotta change your mind

In front of the jury with my eyes full of tears
For beatin up my gale I got forty five years
Baby if you think I'm crazy about you
You gotta change your mind
I mean you better change your mind

Baby if you think I'm crazy about you
You gotta change your mind
Baby if you think I'm crazy about you
You gotta change your mind

My gale likes liquor, like rye and gin
But can't get a whiskey drink, but man
She thinks she can

Baby if you think I'm crazy about you
You gotta change your mind
I mean you better change your mind

Baby if you think I'm crazy about you
You gotta change your mind
Baby if you think I'm crazy about you
You gotta change your mind

I woke up this morning 'bout half past four
Somebody knocking at my back door
If you think I'm crazy about you
You gotta change your mind
I mean you better change your mind

"Ball Peen Hammer"

"Ball Peen Hammer"


I wanna go there, I wanna climb
Now I don't know about no law, I don't see no crime
Ain't no reason, ain't no rest
I wanna get down to the woman and get undressed

And I can't stand it, I can't stand it
I can't wait to see them walls falling down

Tell me Jesus, why they run
Is it by the weight of the woman, the weight of the gun
Got 15 minutes now, and I just don't care
I'm gonna take this off and ready when I get there

And I can't stand it, and I can't stand it
I can't wait to see them walls falling down
And I can't stand it, I can't stand it
I can't wait to see them walls falling down

No where tomorrow, a sunday rhyme
You know all good things come in there due time
Put The Ball Peen Hammer, Right Thru That Door
And I don't pretend to understand no more

I can't stand it, and I can't stand it
I can't wait to see them walls falling down
I can't stand it, I can't stand it
I can't wait to see them walls falling down

"Bird On A Wire"

"Bird On A Wire"


Like a bird on a wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
Like a fish on a hook
Like a knight from an old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons with thee

And if I have been unkind
I hope that you will just let it go by
And if I have been untrue
I hope you know it was never to you

Like a baby stillborn
Like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone who reached out for me

But I swear by this song
By all I have done wrong
I'll make it all up to you

I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
He called out to me "Don't ask for so much"
And a young man leaning on his darkened door
He cried out to me "Hey, why not ask for more"

Like a bird on a wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free

"Black Lung Heartache"

"Black Lung Heartache"


Well I'm a man of the mountain
I'm just made of dirt
Of this Earth I traveled
Like a shepherd and his herd

[Chorus:]
And I said hang on, hang on
Black lung heartache

I sleep in a modest house
These green hills I mind
And if I plow tend my children
Who will be by the side?

[Chorus:]
And I said hang on, hang on
Black Lung Heartache

I've shed many tears
Seems I can?t shed no more
You can see them on the table
You can see 'em on the floor

[Chorus Variation:]
Now I said hang on, hang on
Black lung heartache

I've seen many men
They become hard as nails
Carrying the hammers like keys to a jail

[Chorus Variation:]
Now I said hang on, hang on
Black lung heartache

Now I said so long, so long
Black lung heartache

"Black Night"

"Black Night"


No one Care's about me, No I ain't even got a Friend
Well my Baby's gone and left me, When will my Troubles end
Black Night is Falling, Oh I hate to be alone
Well I'm crying for my Baby, Another day is Gone

Got no one to talk with, To tell my Troubles to
I Don't even know the Minute Baby since I Lost You
Black Night is Falling, Oh and I hate to be alone
Well I'm Crying for my Baby, Another day is Gone

Well my Mother Had the troubles, My Father had them too
My Brother Slipped away yeah, And I Don't even know what to do
Black Night is Falling yeah, Oh I hate to be alone
Well I'm Crying for my Baby, Well I'm Crying for my Baby
Another Day is Gone

"Blue And Evil"

"Blue And Evil"


I'm so down and blue
On this as black as night
I have evil, evil on my mind
I am the ghost of the man that stands before you
Painting the silver line, nothing left to do

Blue and Evil
Gonna make a wreck of me
Blue and evil

So I take a drink, ease my evil mind
Love brings a sadness, felt at the break of day
Like climbing this mountain, trying to break away
Between the truth and the stone, lies reciprocity
A new day brings rising, but now I'm getting mean

Blue and Evil
Gonna make a wreck of me
Blue and evil

So I take a drink, ease my evil mind

See nothing but colors light through a broken glass
Now its time for reckoning, I know you didn't read
The way the life is down on me, I can hardly breath

Blue and Evil
Gonna make a wreck of me
Blue and evil

I'm only and I hate it child

Blue and Evil
Gonna make a wreck of me
Blue and evil

Ooo so I take a drink and ease my evil mind
Gonna make a mess of me
Blue and evil
Blue and evil
Blue and evil
Blue and evil

"Blues Deluxe"

"Blues Deluxe"


I don't know too much about love baby now
but I sure think I got it bad yeah.
I don't know too much about love baby now
but I sure think I got it bad yeah.
Some people say love is just a gamble
Oh whatever it is about to drive me mad yeah.
Yeah, lookout...

I sit here in my lonely room now
Tears flowin' down my eyes.
As I sit here in my lonely room now
Tears flowin' down my eyes.
I wonder how you can treat me so low down and dirty.
You know what?
Your heart must be made out of ice yeah.

[Lead Break]

Sometimes I get so worried baby now
you know I wanna sit down and cry myself to sleep.
Sometimes I get so worried baby now
you know I wanna sit down and cry myself to sleep
‘Cause I don't know too much about love babe
But I sure think I...sure think I...got it bad yeah.

Oh, I sure think I got it bad yeah.

"Blues Of Desperation"

"Blues Of Desperation"


I have a wall that I’m laying on
Haven’t decided what I’m waiting on
I gave all my love to you in anticipation
Now I live the blues of desperation

Sliding down in a great free fall
Minding my manners waiting for your call
Heartless in mind, a soul of separation
Now it’s the blues, the blues of desperation

Maybe it’s the devil doing this to me
Open up the door to divine misery
Hear the wolves howling at my door
One more last time don’t come back no more

The heavens may fall and the rain may come
You fight and you die but what’s done is done
Smile at me, while I live in damnation
Trying to make sense of these blues of desperation

"Bridge To Better Days"

"Bridge To Better Days"


You sit in your big house baby
you drive your fancy car
you treat me like I'm not there
but I guess that's who you are
I'm on the bridge to better days
better days are coming now
tired of asking all my friends
please help me once more
this old life that I'm leading
got me down the floor
I'm on the bridge to better days
better days are coming now
better days are coming now
better days are coming now
gonna be a matter of time
you know the sun will rise
used to say it was in my head
I was led along instead
I'm on the bridge to better days
better days are coming now
better days are coming now
better days are coming now
ohhhhhhh
