"Edge Of Sundown"

"Edge Of Sundown"



On the edge of sundown, a man rode into town
His clothes were old and dirty like the guns he wore low down
And as he rode the people stared, tried to look on him
He's the man who'll take your life, take your life to boothill

Sleeps by day and rides by night
Like a mongrel always lookin' for a fight
Got cold steel a bowie knife, just his way of life
He took no one, no not a sound, stares at the edge of town
Only time that he'll be found, is on the edge of sundown

Take you for your dollars babe, take you for your gold
Make your life so miserable, he's gonna leave you mean and cold
And then he'll head on out, to another town
The only time when he'll be found, is on the edge of sundown
Next time he'll be sundown.

He's a killer and a robber and he'll make you grieve
Shoot you in the back or in your sleep
Got no name or identity
Livin' in the wind, he's free...

"Fall Of The Peacemakers"

"Fall Of The Peacemakers"



A king without a sword
A land without a king
A truth without a voice
One song left to sing
One song to sing

A wise man told me there's something you should know
The way you judge a man is to look into his soul
And you'll soon see everything.

A voice from the past cried "Give peace a chance"
He paid our price now he's free at last
Imagine, we called him a dreamer!
How many times must good men die?
How many tears will the children cry?
'Til they suffer no more sadness
Stop the madness,
Oh, stop the madness.

If ashes are ashes and dust is dust
At our journey's end then return we must
To the sands of the shore
White doves in flight
Peace to all
But tell me why the peacemakers fall
Must we bury anymore?

The hush of the crowd as the horse rode by
A black lace veil hid the tears from her eyes
And we all wept in silence
How many times must good men die?
How many times will the children cry?
'Til they suffer no more sadness
Oh, stop the madness
Oh, stop all the madness.

"Few And Far Between"

"Few And Far Between"


The last time that I saw you,
You were headed for the boarding gate,
And I knew that it would be a long wait,
I know I wasn't always there sweet darling,
When you needed me by your side,
But when I was gone and you were home all alone,
Why did you have to run and hide?

[Chorus:]
Few and far between now baby,
You said you would always be mine.
Few and far between honey,
You do it to me every time.

You knew I'd come home looking for you now sugar,
But you would not even answer the phone,
Why did you insist on hurting me baby,
I sit here and I cry alone,
You know it ain't the first time,
I've been there honey,
And I know it won't be the last,
Rock riding mama don't you treat me so mean,
Don't you count me out so fast.

[Chorus:]
Few and far between now baby,
Why don't you just tell me we are through?,
Few and far between honey,
I'm gonna catch up to you.

The last time I saw you,
You were headed for the boarding gate,
And I knew that it would be a long time,
For your love I'm gonna have to wait,
I know I wasn't always there sweet darling,
When you need me by your side,
But when I was gone and you were home all alone,
Why did you have to run and hide?

[Chorus:]
Few and far between now baby,
You said that you would always be mine,
Few and far between now honey,
You do it to me every time.

Few and far between now baby,
Why don't you just tell me were through,
Few and far between now honey,
I'm gonna catch up to you.

"Find Somebody New"

"Find Somebody New"


Well the pretty women, easy livin' were always on my mind,
Back home dreamin', I was schemin' 'bout the things I knew I'd find,
I've been unlucky in love, when I'm low its just said so hard to take it,
But when I'm right, anything goes, you know I just can't fake it

[Chorus:]
Cause I can't wait forever,
I can't wait for you,
Baby it's now or never,
Gonna find somebody new,
Gonna find somebody new

Well the past is gone, time goes on, while we are apart,
Took a toss with the dice, my luck was down, I had to pawn my heart

[Chorus:]
Cause I can't wait forever,
I can't wait for you,
Baby it's now or never,
Gonna find somebody new,
Gonna find somebody new

Well it was the women, the easy livin', that finally made me blue,
But baby, don't you worry, don't stop the show,
Cause I'm not comin' home to you

[Chorus:]
Cause I can't wait forever,
I can't wait for you,
Baby it's now or never,
Gonna find somebody new,
Cause I can't wait forever,
I can't wait for you,
Baby it's now or never,
Gonna find somebody new,
I'm gonna find somebody new

"Flames Are Burning"

"Flames Are Burning"



In the beginning, it was love and devotion
All the emotions you missed all your life
I want to show you into my heart
Cause that's where feelings have to start

And I feel so alive to hold you in my arms
Did not realize the cost
Midnight promises that are broken don't mean a thing
That's how easy love gets lost

Flames are burning and your halo's gone tonight
Live to tell, fight to live another day
While the world's still turning, you got to get on with your life
Live to tell, fight to live another day

And then in a moment baby, you were gone and I had just turned my head
My whole world went upside down cause I believed every word you said
Break a heart and tell a lie
Stole a kiss and never said goodbye

Flames are burning and your halo's gone tonight
Live to tell, fight to live another day
While the world's still turning, you got to get on with your life
Live to tell, fight to live another day

Live another day

Break a heart and tell a lie
Stole a kiss and never said goodbye

Flames are burning and your halo's gone tonight
Live to tell, fight to live another day
While the world's still turning, you got to get on with your life
Live to tell, fight to live another day

Flames are burning and your halo's gone tonight
Live to tell, fight to live another day
While the world's still turning, you got to get on with your life
Live to tell, fight to live another day

Fight another day

"Flirtin' With Disaster"

"Flirtin' With Disaster"



I'm travelin' down the road and I'm flirtin' with disaster
I've got the pedal to the floor, my life is running faster
I'm out of money, out of hope, it looks like self-destruction
Well, how much more can we take with all of this corruption

We're flirtin' with disaster, y'all know what I mean
And the way we run our lives, it makes no sense to me
I don't know about yourself or what you want to be, yeah
When we gamble with our time, we choose our destiny

I'm travelin' down that lonesome road
Feel like I'm dragging a heavy load
Yeah, I've tried to turn my head away
Feel about the same most every day

You know what I'm talking about, baby

Speeding down the fast lane, honey, we're playin' from town to town
The boys and I've been burnin' it up, can't seem to slow it down
I’ve got the pedal to the floor, our lives are runnin' faster
We got our sights set straight ahead, but I ain't sure what we're after

Flirtin' with disaster, y’all damn sure know what I mean
You know, the way we run our lives, it makes no sense to me
I don't know about yourself or what you plan to be, yeah
When we gamble with our time we choose our destiny

Yeah, we're travelin' down that lonesome road
Feel like I'm dragging a heavy load
Don't try to turn my head away
I'm flirtin' with disaster every day

And you are too, baby

Flirtin' with disaster, babe, y'all know what I mean
You know the way we run our lives, it makes no sense to me
I don't know about yourself or what you plan to be
When we gamble with our time we choose our destiny

Yeah, we're traveling down this lonesome road
Feel like I'm dragging a heavy load
Don't try and turn my head away, ba ba ba yeah
Flirtin' with disaster every day

"Free Bird"
(originally by Lynyrd Skynyrd)



If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be travelling on, now,
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see.
But, if I stayed here with you, girl,
Things just couldn't be the same.
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I can't change.

Bye, bye, its been a sweet love.
Though this feeling I can't change.
But please don't take it badly,
'Cause Lord knows I'm to blame.
But, if I stayed here with you girl,
Things just couldn't be the same.
Cause I'm as free as a bird now,
And this bird you'll never change.
And this bird you can not change.
Lord knows, I can't change.
Lord help me, I can't change.

"Gator Country"



I've been to Alabama, people ain't a whole lot to see;
Skynyrd says it's a real sweet home but it ain't nothing to me.
Charlie Daniels will tell you the good Lord lives in Tennessee, ha!
But I'm going back to gator country where the wine and the women are free.

There's a gator in the bushes, he's calling my name,
And a saying come on boy, you better make it back home again.
There's many roads I've traveled but they all kind of look the same.
There's a gator in the bushes, Lord, he calling my name.

Well he can ramble back to Georgia but I won't give a damn.

There's Marshall Tucker riding a rainbow searching for a pot of gold.
Well they can take the highway, baby, and they can take all they can hold.
The Outlaws down in Tampa town it's a mighty fine place to be.
They got green grass and they got high tides and sure looks good to me.

There's a gator in the bushes, he's calling my name.

Oh gator country,

"Get Her Back"

"Get Her Back"



I had me a woman one time,
Back a long time ago,
She seemed to treat me so fine,
I didn't want to let her go,
She'd find a new way to,
Find peace of mind,
She left me flat and standin' here,
With nothing but a dime,
She said she found herself,
Another way of life,
I gave her my everything,
And treated her right

Didn't know what it was about her,
But I want her back,
Oh Lord would you help me please,
I gotta get me back

My daddy told me one time,
Son don't ya be no fool,
Most women will treat you kind,
Then they'll treat you cruel,
But you got to look forward,
To a new day that's coming,
Got to quit chasin' that girl son,
Slow up your runnin',
Things will get better son,
A new day tommorrow,
Forget about that girl and,
Throw away your sorrow

I couldn't forget about her,
Not about that stuff,
She'd been with me too long,
But let her have it rough

I had me woman one time,
Back a long time ago,
She seemed to treat me so fine,
I didn't want to let her go,
She'd find a new way to,
Find peace of mind,
She left me flat and standin' here,
With nothing but a dime,
She said she found herself,
Another way of life,
I gave her my everything,
And treated her right

Didn't know what it was about her,
But I want her back,
Oh Lord would you help me please,
I gotta get me back

"Get In The Game"

"Get In The Game"



Welcome to Last Chance motel, yeah, it's the end of the line
All dressed up and nowhere to go in a one horse town
Part of me is back in the city, I had to change direction
I got no backstage passes, baby, to the resurrection

I had to reach inside, take a look
When I don't know who I am
With broken hearts and street smarts, baby
Have made me a jaded man

Nothin' to it, but to do it
Get in the game
Been on the sidelines far too long
Get in the game

Stick to your pistols, baby, 'cause it's a brand new day
The world is for the takin' now, nothin' to stand in my way
Lookin' back over your shoulder, dwelling on the past
Better think twice if you roll the dice
Don't write a check, your ass can't cash

I had to reach inside, take a look
When I don't know who I am
With broken hearts and street smarts, baby
Have made me a jaded man

Nothin' to it, but to do it
Get in the game
Been on the sidelines far too long
Get in the game

Nothin' to it, but to do it
Get in the game
Been on the sidelines far too long
Get in the game

I'm always left inside a song, that's where I feel safe
Sometimes when you open your eyes, you play 'em as they lay
Now the sun is shining down, black clouds have gone away
Life's worth livin', but it ain't forgiven, yes, it's your play you pay

I had to reach inside, take a look
Behold a stronger man

Nothin' to it, but to do it
Get in the game
Been on the sidelines far too long
Get in the game

Nothin' to it, but to do it
Get in the game
Been on the sidelines far too long
Get in the game

Get in the game
Get in the game
