"Cold Cold World"

"Cold Cold World"


I been burned
By a cold empty fire
I been turned and led astray
But you learn
When you deal with a liar
It's a cold cold world
Cold world when it's
Your friends

I bee taken
Down a blind street
I been shaken and led astray
You awaken
With a bad bad feelin'
It's a cold cold world
When it's your friends

You might listen you might
Not it don't bother me
You won't know till the
Time catches up with you
Can't you see how close I'm
Watching you

Feel like dirt
They've taken my pride
And what's worse
I've been so betrayed
And it hurts you deep down inside
It's a cold cold world
Cold world, when it's your friends

You know trust is so hard to give
But you must or you're gonna be alone
When you're dust it just should not be
That it was a cold cold world
Cold world... cold cold world...
In the end

"Colorado"

"Colorado"


I am a man I live alone
Don't much bother me. It won't be long
Come a woman who wants to be near
Me and my mountains, we'll be right here
Colorado

Way back east in the dirt and smog
Courted a woman she had a job
Didn't want to leave her adopted home
Guess she was afraid of bein' alone in
Colorado

Way out yonder in tinsel land
Look around hard you might find a real man
Dark-eyed country girl, tears in her eyes
Needs the music of the wind in the pines
Colorado

Many's the time that I've gone astray
The things I'm thinkin' I seldom say
Guess I'm waitin' for that special girl
The one who loves me and loves my world
Colorado
Colorado

"Different Man"

"Different Man"


I am a different man
Than you've ever seen me be
I got young though I'm older now
Fear and anger have no power over me

Dug a hole and i did fall in
There I stayed for a while
Who done told to be my saviour
In their pity they done lost all sense of me

Nothing really matters but the love that's in my heart
Long tall sally's standing by me
Many are the friends I have been loyal to a fault
Who have known all along
That there ain't too much good we've done
Feeling shameful for too long
And you ain't bad but you went wrong
We all are sinners
The lord forgives us every one
God forgive every one

"Different Tongues"

"Different Tongues"


Do you know me, can you tell me so
Do you know how my motivations grow
It's all right that's something you ought to know about me

Are you into being on the line
Facing people one at a time
It's all right that's something you ought to know about me

You ought to know me well enough by now
Watching me growing you are the why and the how
Everything you show me making it so that we
Need each other more and more I'm not exactly altogether sure
That I could handle being left here all alone
I got a house honey and I, I need a home, yeah

We were speaking in different tongues
Still it mattered we did what then was done
It's still all right that's something you ought to know about me

Do you trust me, do you trust yourself
Do you know when it's time to ask for help
It's all right that's something you ought to know
'Cause it has to do with growing
That's something you ought to know about me

"Dim Lights, Thick Smoke (And Loud, Loud Music)"

"Dim Lights, Thick Smoke (And Loud, Loud Music)"


Dim lights thick smoke and loud loud music
Is the only kind of life you'll ever understand
Dim lights thick smoke and loud loud music
You'll never make a wife to a home lovin' man

A home and little children mean nothing to you
A house filled with love and a husband that's true
You'd rather have a drink with the first guy you'll meet
And the only home you know is the club down the street

Dim lights, thick smoke...
Dim lights, thick smoke...

"Do For The Others"

"Do For The Others"


Round, round, up and down
All along the lonely town
See him sinkin' low
Doesn't see the joy there is to know

And he cries from the misery
And he lies singin' harmony
She is gone there is no tomorrow
It is done so now he must borrow
The life of his brothers and living in sorrow
Must do for the others

A chill wind hits his face
Was that a tear I thought I saw a trace?
Loving people everywhere
Where is she? She is not there

And he cries from the misery
And he lies singin' harmony
She is gone there is no tomorrow
It is done so now he must borrow
The life of his brothers and living in sorrow
Must do for the others

"Do You Remember The Americans"

"Do You Remember The Americans"


Standin' by a snow drift in the pale moonlight
Hitchhikin' west on a highway at night
Tryin' to get to Frisco, lookin' for my girl
Here comes a trucker, hope he don't mind long curls

I remember years ago hitchin' this same road
Never saw a trucker leave a man out in the cold
No riders sign on the window, never meant a thing
Nowadays they just roll on lookin' kind of mean

Kind of makes me wonder, scratch my head and kick the snow
Four years of overseas, who are these strangers in my home
Where are the country people does anybody know
Do you remember the Americans, where did they go?

Were they simply bought and sold?

"Don't Look At My Shadow"

"Don't Look At My Shadow"


New York City years ago
Tourists in the rain
Singin' on the swing shift
For pennies

Thinkin'bout the bayou
Cajun river song
Almost got my head broke
In Texas

Purple Peacock Honky-Tonk
Eunice, Louisiana
Bourbon whiskey free, son,
Just tune up the piano

Workin' clubs in New Orleans
Bringin' down a dollar
College boys drink beer
And throw the bottles

[Chorus:]
It's been a long long long way
I got some more to go
Don't look at my shadow
Its behind me chorus
It's been a long long long way
In twenty years or so
Thinkin'bout those times
Might amuse me

L.A. Forum Sports Arena
Twenty thousand fans
Glas ya come to listen I'm gomma
Give you everything I can

I always had to play my music
Play it best I could
Hope you in the stands
Can hear me good

California dreamin' nearly put me down for good
Colorado Rocky Mountains saved my senses

[Chorus]

"Down The Road"

"Down The Road"


When I was a young man
Standin' in the door
The room was dark and smoky
The smell of death before' me

Think I'll go down
Mama
Go on down the road
See what's goin' on
Down the road

Lots of friends and children
Layin' in the grass
Hookah makes me crazy
Believe I'm goin' have to pass

Think I'll go down
Mama
Go on down the road
See what's goin' on
Down the road

Then you find your cocaine
Start to movin' fast
Trip, stumble, fall, freeze up
Hope your body last

Think I'll go down
Mama
Go on down the road
See what's goin' on
Down the road

Drinkin' plenty good liquor
Bourbon twelve years old
Hero wine, just in time
Worst trip that I know

Think I'll go down
Mama
Take a pass
Go on down the road
See what's goin' on

Some people into Jesus
Other people into Zen
I'm just into every day
I don't hide from where I been

I just go down
Mama
Go on down the road
See what's goin' on
Down the road
Alright

"Drivin' Thunder"

"Drivin' Thunder"


I was again in florida
Cruisin' with my crowd
Over by datona we done
Heard the most awesome sound
Went out to the speedway
What was this about?
The meanest looking cars you ever seen
Running flat out

Drivin' thunder
Rollin' down the race track
Drivin' thunder
You can't ever relax
All set up to go
Just one way to go
Stick your foot in it
Clear to the floorboard

Me I got right in it
Inside them old boys' heads
Do I need a splash of gas?
How much time do I have left?
The car is feelin' good now
I got my quickest line
Stickin' back just loosen up
Took 4 seconds off the best lap time

Drivin' thunder
Rollin' down the race track
Drivin' thunder
Can't ever relax
All set up to go
Just one way to go
Stick your foot in it
Clear to the floorboard

Drivin' thunder [2x]
Drivin' thunder [2x]

Don't ever look back

Drivin' thunder [2x]

12 seconds pit stop
The rubber and the fills
A crew that good deserves
A display of my driving skills

Draggin' on the leader like a bird of prey
I got too much car for him
Gonna slingshot
And win this race

(you got) drivin' thunder
Rollin' down the race track
Drivin' thunder
Can't ever relax
All set up to go
Just one way to go
Stick your foot in it
Clear to the floorboard

Drivin' thunder [7x]
