"New Delhi Freight Train"

"New Delhi Freight Train"


Some people think that I must be crazy
But my real name is just Jesse James
An I left them half-crocked, hard-knocks of black rock county
Just to ride on that New Delhi Train
Ridin on that New Delhi Freight Train
Ridin down that New Delhi Line
Ridin on that New Delhi Freight Train
Well I left my love behind
Yeah I left my love behind
Yeah I'm just a country boy without angels
Ahhh just a country boy without gold
An I been to silver cities load of rainbows
Where I pillaged and I killed and I stole
Ridin on that New Delhi Freight Train
Ridin down that New Delhi Line
Ridin on that New Delhi Freight Train
Well I left my life behind
Yeah I left my life behind
Then I killed a man named smilin Jordan (Jeer-dun)
Yeah I killed him with one of my guns
And I knew that I had did what I had not ought to
But I welcomed the run from what I'd done
Ridin on that New Delhi Freight Train
Ridin down that New Delhi Line
Ridin on that New Delhi Freight Train
Well I left my guns behind
Yeah I left my guns behind

"Night On The Town"

"Night On The Town"


I got way more things i gotta think about
Like this that and the other
Honey do honey don't honey please
And i don't wanna be bothered
This business called life
Stressful mess
Is testin' my patience

Baby you got a wish list
Bout' eight yards long
But friday evening
This dog is gone
And all night long
Me and my junk yard friends
Be getting it on

One mans trash is another mans treasure
Pound for pound, measure for measure
Looking local for something soulful
Stealin' time
A night on the town

Like a mule on the clock
I'm a working steady
See all about the party girl
Spend all week getting ready
Eat drink and be merry
A man has to have
A reason to live

One mans trash is another mans treasure
Pound for pound, measure for measure
Looking local for something soulful
Stealin' time
A night on the town

All work and no play
Make me feel like a loser
Must be part of my d.n.a.
Gets me struttin' like a rooster
If that's so wrong
Come on along
And have a night on the town

One mans trash is another mans treasure
Pound for pound, measure for measure
Looking local for something soulful
Stealin' time
A night on the town

"Oh Atlanta"

"Oh Atlanta"


They got a place down Kentucky
Right down near Ohio
Where you can watch the planes at night
People line up to watch each flight

I said watchin' them planes
I wish I was on one
I'm sittin' here thinkin' 'bout my red head dream
If I could only see her tonight

Whoa, Atlanta
Whoa, Atlanta
I said oh, oh Atlanta
I got to get back to you

Well, you can drop me off on Peachtree
I got to feel that Georgia sun
And the women there in Atlanta
They make you awfully glad you come

I said watchin' them planes
I wish I was on one
I'm sittin' here thinking 'bout my crazy dream
If I could only be there tonight

Whoa, Atlanta
Whoa, Atlanta
I said oh, oh Atlanta
I got to get back to you

We'll make a day and how just you and me
Where the music plays all night
They got the boogie band blowin' that's bound for hell
And when they get to movin' they never stop
You just keep on playin' that down home beat
You just keep on layin' it down hot

I wish I was on one
I'm sittin' here thinkin' bout my red head dream
If I could only see her tonight

Whoa, Atlanta
Whoa, Atlanta
I said oh, oh Atlanta
I got to get back to you

"Old Folks Boogie"

"Old Folks Boogie"


Off Our Rockers, Actin' Crazy
With the Right Medication We Won't Be Lazy
Doin' the Old Folks Boogie
Down On the Farm
Wheelchairs, They Was Locked Arm in Arm
Paired Off Pacemakers With Matchin' Alarms
Gives Us Jus' One More Chance
To Spin One More Yarn

And You Know That You're Over the Hill
When Your Mind Makes a Promise That Your Body Can't Fill
Doin' the Old Folks Boogie
And Boogie We Will
'cause to Us the Thought's As Good As a Thrill

Back At the Home,
No Time Is Your Own,
Facillities There, They're All Out On Loan
The Bank Forclose, and Your Bankruptcy Shows
And Your Credit Creeps to An All-time Low
So You Know, That You're Over the Hill
When Your Mind Makes a Promise That Your Body Can't Fill

Try and Get a Rise From An Atrophied Muscle,
And the Nerves in Your Thigh Just Quivers and Fizzles
So You Know, That You're Over the Hill
When Your Mind Makes a Promise That Your Body Can't Fill

"On Your Way Down"

"On Your Way Down"


Sunrise
Sunset
Since the beginning it hasn't changed yet
People fly high begin to lose sight
You can't see very clearly when you're in flight

It's high time that you found
The same people you misuse on your way up
You might meet up
On your way down

Vintage wines from the year '62
It's your thing, it's your thing
It pleases you
You got to frown when you cross town
You think it's an honor just to have you around

It's high time that you found
The same dudes you misuse on your way up
You might meet up
On your way down

You think the sun rises and sets for you
But the same sun rises, sets and shines
On the poor folks too
I don't mind you turning round
I myself would even like a little higher ground

It's high time that you found
The same people you walk on on your way up
You might meet up
On your way down

"One Breath At A Time"

"One Breath At A Time"


Yesterday’s done gone away
I never knew that girl to stay
Tomorrow’s boy never does show
He’s only rumor now don’t you know

I don’t keep no cares about that
I don’t have to be aware about that
Don’t even give a little thought about that
’Cause my baby girl says it ain’t about that

She’s got a smile, ain’t no teasing
Time in this world is spent on pleasing me

My baby loves me
One breath at a time
Ain’t no rhyme ain’t no reason
Ain’t no style ain’t no season
My baby loves me
One breath at a time

All my friends say to me
They want to see some guarantee
Nobody wants to wait and see
Nobody’s diggin’ on a mystery

I don’t keep no cares about that
I don’t have to be aware about that
Don’t even give a little thought about that
’Cause my baby girl says it ain’t about that

She’s got a way to keep me swinging
Time in this world is spent on pleasing me

My baby loves me
One breath at a time
Ain’t no rhyme ain’t no reason
Ain’t no style ain’t no season
My baby loves me
One breath at a time

I’m less of a stallion more like a mule
Tired of carrying round all of these rules
More of a monk than a libertine
A bad American but I’m never mean

I don’t keep no cares about that
I don’t have to be aware about that
Don’t even give a little thought about that
’Cause my baby girl says it ain’t about that

She’s got a love that’s all old school
She’s got a love with no time for a fool

My baby loves me
One breath at a time
Ain’t no rhyme ain’t no reason
Ain’t no style ain’t no season
My baby loves me
One breath at a time

"One Clear Moment"

"One Clear Moment"


I see you lookin' 'round searchin' for some good times girl
Ain't no doubt about it, nothin' sweeter in this world
Forget the ringin' on your party line
I'll be there in person and I'll be right on time
Give me just one clear moment
I can turn your head around
All I need is one clear moment
To get you back up off the ground

I see you cryin' and I don't know why
The way you look you should be flyin' high
In that one clear moment

Overheard you talkin' 'bout your lover walkin' out the door
It's just the same sad story, you know we've heard it all before
We've all been kicked we've all been pushed around
I'll claim your heart back from the lost and found

Give me just one clear moment
I can turn your head around
All I need is one clear moment
To get your feet back up off the ground

I hear you callin' for some sympathy
I got the answer that can set you free
In that one clear moment

You're wonderin' how I'll make your grey skies blue
I see the doubt in your eyes, but what I say is true

Ah gimme that one clear moment
I can turn your head around
All I need is one clear moment
To get you back up off the ground

I hear you callin' for some sympathy
I got the answer that will set you free
In that one clear moment

"One Love Stand"

"One Love Stand"


It's been a one man show that I been runnin'
On a two way street for love
And I see no end to the dead end (dead end)
'Til you come back home
I tried everything to keep remembering
One good woman, one good man
Two shots of happiness in one life span
It takes a one good woman
The only thing that hurts is the memory
Of having once lived by myself
And I've tried every kind of woman
I said woman, put my love out on the shelf
Took everything and left my ears ringing
One good woman, one good man
Two shots of happiness in one life span
It takes one good woman to make a one love stand
I feel at home in a foreign land
Know what's next when there's nothing planned
Talking about love (Talking about love)
You know it takes two
She took everything and left my ears ringing
One good woman - one
Two shots of happiness - two
It takes one good woman
To make a one love stand
One good woman

"Perfect Imperfection"

"Perfect Imperfection"


There's a girl standin' on a corner
Watchin' love walk right out her door
She thought that love was like a shiny diamond
Blinded by the light, she did not see the flaw.

Now she's lonely, standin' there for hours
Wishin' he would change his mind
Caught in that paradox of feelings
Wonderin' why the hurt when it used to be so fine.

Love is a perfect imperfection
Sometimes happy, sometimes sad
Whenever love comes your direction
Don't you hide away, don't you hide, don't you hide.

You know that there's no reason for you to be alone
Just cause love's treason, broke, broke your happy home
How can you celebrate when all you feel is sufferin' heartache?

Goin' down to that lonely corner
Sidewalk stretchin' out beneath my feet
Wish I could walk, walk right up to her
And tell her what I know of love
What I know, it ain't always so sweet.

Love is a perfect imperfection
Sometimes happy, sometimes sad
Whenever love comes your direction
Don't you hide away, don't you hide, don't you hide.

Love is a perfect imperfection
Sometimes happy, sometimes sad
Whenever love comes your direction
Don't you hide away, don't you hide, don't you hide.

"Rad Gumbo"

"Rad Gumbo"


If you walk right in off the street
You can take the load right off your feet
Mamma bring the menu to your seat
But the bill of fare be short and sweet
Won't find no etouffe'
Mamma never ever could cook that way
She's all ancien' regime
No nouvell cuisine

She cook gumbo
A mighty Rad Gumbo
It's the only way she can go
Down at the Club Rad Gumbo

Now the heads and shells stay in the stock
She stirs her roux and really rocks
One gallon shellfish stock or water
Man this gumbo is made to order
Two toes of garlic finely chopped
Man this party just can't be stopped
Mamma's pots are boiling, the band starts to blow
Piano keys flying like Fats Domino

She cook gumbo
A mighty Rad Gumbo
It's the only way she can go
Down at the Club Rad Gumbo

Oh no, no escargot, no cordon bleu
This ain't the place to go lookin' for beef stew
But if you like tender shrimp and rice
If ya think ya can stand the spice

She cook gumbo
A mighty Rad Gumbo

Now people come from miles around
Dig what Mamma's puttin' down
Everybody knows her name
She in the seafood hall of fame
I gotta get that recipe
If it means the death of me
Get my spyboy to sneak a look
Into Mamma's book

She cook gumbo
A mighty Rad Gumbo
It's the only way she can go
Down at the Club Rad Gumbo

She cook gumbo
A mighty Rad Gumbo
It's the only way she can go
Down at the Club Rad Gumbo
