"Night Life"

"Night Life"



When the evenin' sun goes down
You will find me hangin' 'round
Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life
But it's my life

Many people just like me
Dreamin' of old used-to-be's
Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life
Ah, but it's my life

Listen to the blues that they're playin'
Listen what the blues are sayin'

Life is just another scene
In this old world of broken dreams
Oh, the night life, it ain't no good life
But it's my life

Oh, the night life ain't no good life
Oh, but it's my life

Yeah, it's my life

Listen to what they're sayin'

Listen to the blues they playin'

But I tell you the night life, yes it ain't no good life

"No Love Around"

"No Love Around"



I come home last Saturday morning I come home and found you gone
Well there was a note tacked on my door said your baby don't love you anymore
Well I got dressed up and I went downtown I got dressed up and I went downtown
Well I walked up and I walked down
Well there weren't no love there weren't no love around

There weren't no love around there weren't no love around
There weren't no love around there weren't no love around
There weren't no love around there weren't no love around
There weren't no love around there weren't no love around

Well I come home and I lay down I felt my head spinning round and round
Lord I poured my dreams and I drank 'em down no there weren't no love
There weren't no love around
There weren't no love around....

"No Love At All"

"No Love At All"



Read in the paper nearly everyday people breaking up and just walking away
From love and that's wrong don't you know that's wrong
A happy little home comes up for sale because two fools half tired and failed
To get along and you know that's wrong
A man hurts a woman and a woman hurts a man
And neither one of them try to love and understand
And take it with a grain of salt

A little bit of love is better than no love even sad love's better than no love
Even bad love is better than no love at all
A little bit of love is better than no love even bad love's better than no love
Any kind of love is better than no love at all

No love at all is a poor old man standin' on the corner with his hat in his hand
And thare's no place to go and he's feeling low
No love at all is a child in the street dodging traffic and a begging to eat
On the tennament row and that's a rough row to hoe
No love at all is a scared young girl standin' on the bridge on the edge of the world
And it's a pretty short fall
A little bit of love is better than no love...
A little bit of love is better than no love...

"No Mas Amor"
(with Alison Krauss)

"No Mas Amor"
(with Alison Krauss)



No mas amore, no mas amore aqui
No love to be found
No one around now, but me
Last time I saw her
Was down by the edge of the sea
No mas amore, no mas amore aqui

(I would have followed you to anywhere
Nowhere I wouldn't have gone
You could have taken me anywhere
You had to go it alone)

No mas amore, no mas amore aqui
No love to be found
No one around now, but me
Last time I saw her
Was down by the edge of the sea
No mas amore, no mas amore aqui

Down by the rocks
Where the waves play the shore like a drum
Sometimes I swear
I can hear her guitar gently strum

(I walk the beach,
Underneath the moons pale blue light)

Haunted by the song
Of a love lost to the changing tide

(I would have followed you to anywhere
Nowhere I wouldn't have gone
You could have taken me anywhere
You had to go it alone)

No mas amore, no mas amore aqui
No love to be found
No one around now, but me
Last time I saw her
Was down by the edge of the sea
No mas amore, no mas amore aqui

No mas amore, no mas amore aqui

"No Place But Texas"

"No Place But Texas"


God painted the bluebonnets in the fields
By a tough little scrub oak on an East Texas hill
And he plucked the star from a lone star sky
And he put it in the twinkle of a cowboy's eye

The wide open spaces he made wild and free
Texas as far as any eye can see
And he made her sons grow tough and strong
They still cry when they hear a sad song

[Chorus:]
No place but Texas
Would I ever roam
No place but Texas
My home, sweet home
No place but Texas
My home, sweet home

When I die I hope they bury me
By the Pedernales River 'neath a white oak tree
Where I can see the longhorns graze
And the cactus flowers blooming in the morning haze

[Repeat chorus]

"No Place To Fly"
(feat. Lukas Nelson)

"No Place To Fly"
(feat. Lukas Nelson)



The road ain't gettin' shorter
And I think the weed is gettin' stronger
And I'm tryin' not to speak
To no one who don't care

I'm spinnin' around in a whirlpool of letters
That run in a circle and try to break free in my mind

And I know I'm still young
But I can only get older
And I know that sometimes
I hurt you and I'm gone

Well it's a story as old as the fire that brought us together
You think that we'd learn but you still remain

In the back of my mind
Eatin' up all my time
Hangin' weightless in the sky
Like an angel with no place to fly

Everyday I get stoned
I simply try to write a song
The road is like a river
That sings when I'm alone

I'm sittin' beside a window of light
That floods in my eyes and keeps me from finding mine

If I stayed home
I'd only wish I was gone
Wantin' you with me
But knowin' that you can't come

You've seen all the charms of this crazy old life
And you'd just as soon leave 'em behind as you'd never leave me

In the back of my mind
Eatin' up all my time
Hangin' weightless in the sky
Like an angel with no place to fly

Lookin' for some peace of mind
Like an angel with no place to fly

"No Reason To Quit"

"No Reason To Quit"


There's a circle of people where I'm no longer welcome
I'm ashamed to say that I'm no longer fit
I could sober up tomorrow and face my friends again
But I've got no reason to quit
No I've got no reason for living right and there's no other way to forget
I could sober up tomorrow and face my friends again
But I've got no reason to quit
[guitar - mandolin]
I've got no reason for living right and there's no other way to forget
I know down deep inside me I'm man enough to change
But I've got no reason to quit

"No Tomorrow In Sight"

"No Tomorrow In Sight"



The children are sleepin',
Our talk can begin.
We've waited until they've gone to bed.
We knew they would cry,
When we said goodbye,
And I'd rather leave quietly instead.

We can never be happy,
We both know it's true.
We've quarrelled from the day that we met.
Our love was too weak,
To pull our dreams through,
But too strong to let us forget.

I hope we can salvage a few memories,
To carry us through the long night.
The clock's strikin' midnight, yesterday's gone.
And there's no tomorrow in sight.

In our efforts to break through,
The thick walls of pride,
With harsh words that burned to the core.
The wall's still remainin',
But the words broke inside,
And strengthened the walls even more.

I hope we can salvage a few memories,
To carry us through the long night.
The clock's strikin' midnight, yesterday's gone.
And there's no tomorrow in sight.

"Nobody Slides, My Friend"

"Nobody Slides, My Friend"


Nobody slides, my friend
It's a truth on which
You can depend
If you're living a lie
It will eat you alive
And nobody slides, my friend

Nobody slides, my friend
You can try it
But you'll never win
You can scream
You can shout
But it all evens out
And nobody slides my, friend

[guitar]

Nobody slides, my friend
Listen I'll say it again
You can run
You can hide
But it's still waitin' inside
And nobody slides, my friend
