"The Last Rebel"

"The Last Rebel"


There's a grey horse standin' still
As a soldier climbs in the saddle for one last ride
The rain pours off his hat
You can see the shadows of the past written in his eyes

Now the cannons are silent
His friends are all gone, gotta put it all behind him
If he ever wants to find his way home
He's the last rebel on the road

Just a boy with his old guitar
Keeps to himself but everybody takes him wrong
But he carried on, got a dream that will never die
Can't change him
No use in staying where you don't belong

Now he's rollin' down the highway
Gone too far too fast
No one will ever find him
He'll never look back

'Cause he's the last rebel
And he's all alone, He's the last rebel
His friends are all gone
He's the last rebel, the last rebel on the road

There'll never be another like him
He's the last of a dyin' breed
Ain't no use tryin' to change him
'Cause he's the last rebel
And he's all alone, He's the last rebel
His friends are all gone
He's the last rebel, the last rebel on the road

"The Needle And The Spoon"

"The Needle And The Spoon"


Thirty days, lord and thirty nights
I'm comin' home on an airplane flight
Mama waitin' at the ticket line
Tell me son why do you stand there cryin'

[chorus]
It was the needle and the spoon
And a trip to the moon
Took me away, took me away

I've been feelin' so sick and tired
Got to get better, lord before I die
Seven doctors couldn't help my head, they said
You better quit, son before your dead

[chorus]
Quit the needle. Quit the spoon
Quit the trip to the moon
We gonna take you away. Lord, we gonna take you away

[spoken]
It was the needle and the spoon

I've seen a lot of people who thought they were cool
But then again, lord I've seen a lot of fools
Well, I hope you people, lord can hear what I say
You'll have your chance to hit it some day

[chorus]
Don't mess with the needle or a spoon
Or any trip to the moon
It'll take you away

Lord, their gonna bury you boy
Don't mess with the needle
Now I know, I know, I know...

"The Seasons"

"The Seasons"


When the season is turning
And my day has gone by
And to see my reflection
See it in your eyes
Know the day that's come now has gone by

And if you look now quite closely
You feel the sun start to shine
And you know the day is longing
Longing just for you
The season that's come now is as fresh as you

And if you look now quite closely
You feel the sun start to shine
And you know the day is longing
Longing just for you
The season that's come now is as fresh as you

"The Way"

"The Way"


Well the sun don't shine where it used to
And the angels are hidin' their heads
People don't listen to their hearts anymore
Seems the good men all are dead
There ain't no right, wrong, no in between
That ain't the constitution that they wrote for me
Got our heads stuck in somethin' overseas
Standin' ass deep in hypocracy

OOOoooOOooooOOOOooooo...

Well I found myself out on the open road
Heading out into the desert
Lookin' for another world that's waitin' on me
That none of us can see
I keep thinkin' to myself as I move along
Where do we all come from
Is there religion or another dimension
Another place and time yeah....

OOOooooo...

When my life is over and done
Finally made my way through it
Another life has just begun
Is this the way you do it
Oh the way...

OOOooooo...

Lookin' in the eyes of the man on the moon
He's starin' down at me
Wondering what he's thinkin' and if he knows
Please let me see

Life is like an open door we're all walkin' through
Do you know the answers, no one knows the truth
Until we pass on through

When my life is over and done
Finally made my way through it
Another life has just begun
Is this the way to it

OOOOOOoooooo...

Walkin' on the world upside down
It keeps spinnin' round and round
World upside down
I'm so tired of all this bullshit goin' down
Finally made my way through it
When my life is over and done
Is this the way you do it
When my life is over and done
Finally made my way through it
Another life has just begun
This is the way you do it
Oh the way...
This is the way you do it
Oh the way...

"Things Goin' On"

"Things Goin' On"


Have you ever lived down in the ghetto?
Have you ever felt the cold wind blow?
If you don't know what I mean,
Won't you stand up and scream?
'Cause there's things goin' on that you don't know.

Too many lives they've spent across the ocean.
Too much money been spent upon the moon.
Well, until they make it right
I hope they never sleep at night
They better make some changes
And do it soon.

They're goin ruin the air we breathe
Lord have mercy.
They're gonna ruin us all, by and by.
I'm telling you all beware
I don't think they really care
I think they just sit up there
And just get high.

"Through It All"

"Through It All"


Dig down and tell me what you find
Back in the pages left behind
Everybody's got a story

Ours ain't no different from the rest
Each step we take, it's just a test
On this broken road to glory

When we were young and brave
We fought to save the one thing that we loved
We took a sacred vow
And signed our names in blood

And through it all, we kept on shining
We fought the doubt and faced the pain
We built it up from dust and ashes
To cheat the odds and rise again

There's been a million miles of road
Another million miles to go
Still giving me a reason

Most times your first could be your last
God give me one more second chance
Oh, something to believe in

And though it's easier to give it up
Than to give it all you got
Don't let it make you something
That you're not

And through it all, we kept on shining
We fought the doubt and faced the pain
We built it up from dust and ashes
To cheat the odds and rise again

And through it all the wheels keep turning
Above the tears the truth stands tall
Now here we are one in spirit
We stand together through it all
Oh, through it all

When we were young and brave
We fought to save the one thing that we loved
We took a sacred vow
And signed our names in blood

And through it all, we kept on shining
We fought the doubt and faced the pain
We built it up from dust and ashes
To cheat the odds and rise again

And through it all the wheels keep turning
Above the tears the truth stands tall
Now here we are one in spirit
We stand together through it all
Oh, through it all, through it all
Oh, through it all

"Tomorrow's Goodbye"

"Tomorrow's Goodbye"


I'm just a cityboy
But there's a small town side of me
And I feel it closin' in
Are we blind to see
That she's dying more each day
And she's crying out to you and me

Changes come and when they're gone
They curse the fools who wait too long

So let's take care of what we have
Before the good we know goes bad
And the beauty fades and just slips away
The dirty air,the dying seas
Will this be the world we leave
To the wild and young
I say,just look at what we've done
And right before our eyes
Today's yesterday
Will be tomorrow's goodbye

Here comes the rain
And it might wash her tears away
But it doesn't change a thing
Like my brother before me
All I can do is write this song
And for her I sing

So let's take care of what we have
Before the good we know goes bad
And the beauty fades and just slips away
The dirty air,the dying seas
Will this be the world we leave
To the wild and young
I say,just look at what we've done
And right before our eyes
Today's yesterday
Will be tomorrow's goodbye

Do you ever think about
The future or the past
Do you ever wonder
How long this world will last

So let's take care of what we have
Before the good we know goes bad
And the beauty fades and just slips away
The dirty air,the dying seas
Will this be the world we leave
To the wild and young
I say,just look at what we've done
And right before our eyes
Yeah,it's right before our eyes

Today's yesterday
Will be tomorrow's goodbye

"Travelin' Man"

"Travelin' Man"


I was born a travelin' man, that's all I'll ever be
Moving around from town to town is what makes me so free
My father was a trucker for the years of '23
On the day that I was born his blood was left to me
I'm a travelin' man
Travelin' Man -- that's what I am
Travelin' Man
Travelin' Man
That's what I am

Travelin' man -- that's what I am
No woman puts a hold on me
You'll see me once or maybe twice
That's all you'll see of me
All you pretty women Lord, I hope you understand
Don't be a fool Lord no, and put your heart in a travellin' man
I'm a travelin' man
Travelin' Man
Travelin' Man -- that's what I am
Travelin' Man

Travelin' Man -- that's what I am
Guess I'll always be
Travelin' Man -- that's what I am
But at least I'm free

Travelin' man
Oh - that's what I am

Travelin' man -- that's what I am, Lord I move so fast
I have had so many women, none of them have last
I am just a mover, moving fast as sound
Always free, sometimes lonely. Always movin' around
Travelin' Man
Travelin' Man -- that's what I am
Travelin' Man
Oh - that's what I am

"Trust"

"Trust"


I'd like to tell y'all a story
About a friend of mine
Who liked to drink good whiskey, oh Lord
And have a real good time
His woman, you know she left him
And stole that boy's brand new car
And ran out of town with a guitar picker
Said he gonna be a superstar
Sure you are

[Chorus]
You can't alway trust your woman
You can't always trust your best friend
Beware of the ones that you need y'all
'Cause those might be the ones that do you in

Don't talk no stuff to no slicker
Don't tell your feelings to your friend
Don't tell your woman that you love her, because
That's when your trouble begins
There are many ladies here among us
That'll stab you in the back when you ain't around
There are many, so many of your very best friends
That'll kick you in the head when you are down
Yes they will

[Chorus]

Don't you backtalk the police
'Cause its his job to put you in the jail
They'll lock you up, boy and throw away the key
And your best friend won't even go your bail
There are many slickers here among us
That are all dressed up in suits and ties
But don't you show your pain, Lord in front of them
'Cause if you do you kiss yourself goodbye, alright

[Chorus]
