When I lost you, honey
Sometimes I think I lost my guts too
And I wish God would send me a word
Send me something Im afraid to lose
Lying in the heat of the night like prisoners all our lives
I get shivers down my spine, girl
And all I wanna do is hold you tight
Baby, baby, baby
I swear Ill drive all night again just t... |
Ooooh-oh-ooh-oh

I got a bad desire
Oh-oh-oh, Im on fire
Tell me now, baby, is he good to you?
Can he do to you the things that I cant do?
I can take you higher
Oh-oh-oh, Im on fire
Ooooh-oh-ooh-oh

Spanish Johnny drove in from the underworld last night
With bruised arms and broken rhythm in a beat-up old Buick
But dressed just like dynamite
He tried selling his heart to the hard girls over on Easy Street
But they sighed Johnny it falls apart so easy
And you know hearts these days are cheap
And the pimps swung the... |
We played king of the mountain out on the end
The world come charging up the hill, and we were women and men
Now theres so much that time, time and memory fade away
We got our own roads to ride and chances we gotta take
We stood side by side each one fighting for the other
We said until we died wed always be blood brot... |
Woke up this morning, the house was cold
Checked out the furnace, she wasnt burnin
Went out and hopped in my old Ford
Hit the engine but she aint turnin
Weve given each other some hard lessons lately
But we aint learnin

One step up and two steps back

I was trying to find my way home
But all I heard was a drone
Bouncing off a satellite
Crushing the last lone American night
This is radio nowhere
Is there anybody alive out there?

Well the street lights shine
Down on Blessing Avenue
Lovers, they walk by
Holding hands two by two
A breeze crosses the porch
Bicycle spokes spin round
Jackets on, Im out the door
Tonight Im going to burn this town down
And the girls in their summer clothes
In the cool of the evening light
The girls in their summer clo... |
Theres a place out on the edge of town, sir
Rising above the factories and the fields
Now ever since I was a child I can remember
That mansion on the hill
In the day you can see the children playing
On the road that leads to those gates of hardened steel
Steel gates that completely surround, sir
The mansion on the hill... |
Seems like Im caught up in your trap again
Seems like Ill be wearing the same old chains
Good will conquer evil and the truth will set me free
And I know someday I will find the key
I know somewhere I will find the key

Seems the game Ive played has made you strong

Johnny works in a factory
And Billy works downtown
Terry works in a rock and roll band
Looking for that million dollar sound
And I got a little job down in Darlington
But some nights I dont go
Some nights I go to the drive-in
Or some nights I stay home
I followed that dream
Just like those guys do up on the screen

I got my finger on the trigger
But I dont know who to trust
When I look into your eyes
Theres just devils and dust

Devils and dust
I got God on my side
And Im just trying to survive

Its the same sad story, love and glory goin round and round
Its the same old cliché, a wanderer on his way, slippin from town to town
Some find peace here on the sweet streets, the sweet streets of home
Where kindness falls and your heart calls for a permanent place of your own
Im a wayfarer, baby, I drift from town to... |
Do you still say your prayers, little darling?
Do you go to bed at night
Praying that tomorrow
Everything will be alright?
But tomorrows fall in number
In number one by one

Well, they shot you point blank
You been shot in the back
Baby, point blank

I got so down-and-out in Frisco
Tired of the pills and the rain
I picked up, headed for the sunshine
I left a good thing behind
Seemed all of our love was in vain
Now my babys coming in on the Tucson train

One I wouldnt have to explain
To that voice that keeps me awake at night
When a ... |
You been hurt, and youre all cried out, you say
You walk down the street pushing people outta your way

Im 25 hundred miles from where I wanna be
It feels like a hundred years since youve been near to me
I guess what goes around, baby, comes around
Just wishing you were here with me, in Sundown

Sunrise, sundown
The streets gone golden brown
Auburn skies above
Im searching for my love

Wheres my lucky star tonight?
The streets lost in lamp light

Early in the morning factory whistle blows
Man rises from bed and puts on his clothes
Man takes his lunch, walks out in the morning light

Through the mansions of fear, through the mansions of pain

Friday nights pay night, guys fresh out of work
Talking about the weekend, scrubbing off the dirt
Some heading home to their families, some looking to get hurt
Some going down to Stovall wearing trouble on their shirts

In my head... |
Hey there mister, can you tell me what happened to the seeds Ive sown

When I was a little kid
I never liked to eat
Mom would put things on my plate
And Id dump em on her feet
But then one day she made this soup

Oh, chicken lips and lizard hips
And alligator eyes
Monkey legs and buzzard eggs

I was raised outta steel
Here in the swamps of Jersey
Some misty years ago
Through the mud and the beer
The blood and the cheers

If you think it’s your time
Then step to the line
And bring on your wrecking ball

I met a little girl and I settled down
In a little house out on the edge of town

Then little by little we drifted from each others hearts
At first I thought it was just restlessness
That would fade as time went by and our love grew deep
In the end it was something more I guess

You make up your mind, you choose the chance you take
You ride to where the highway ends and the desert breaks

And in one last breath they built the roads ... |

Two hundred dollars straight in

She said, Honey, hows that feel
Do you want me to go slow?

Driving home she grabs something to eat
Turns a corner and drives down her street
Into a row of houses she just melts away

Into a house where the blinds are closed

Last night I was out driving
Coming home at the end of the working day
I was riding alone through the drizzling rain
On a deserted stretch of a county two-lane

As the rain tumbled down hard and cold

From sea to shining sea
And they all have a dream

Instead of opening the gate
Aw, let’s turn this thing around

Got out of prison back in 86 and I found a wife
Walked the clean and narrow

When I look into your eyes and we stand worlds apart

I slipped on her shoe, she was a perfect size seven
I said Theres no smoking in the store maam.
She crossed her legs and then
We made some small talk thats where it should have stopped

My hand slipped up her skirt, everything slipped my mind
In that little roadhouse
On H... |

Hey girl I’m calling all stations
Blowing down the wire tonight
I’m singing through these power lines
I’m running on time and feeling alright

Calling out nation to nation
If you can hear me then say alright
And if y... |
Bobby said hed pull out, Bobby stayed in
Janey had a baby, it wasnt any sin
They were set to marry on a summer day

She settled in in a back room, time passed on
Later that win... |
Bobbys got a gun that he keeps beneath his pillow
Out on the street, your chances are zero
Take a look around you
It aint too complicated
Youre messing with murder incorporated
Now you check over your shoulder everywhere that you go
Walking down the street, theres eyes in every shadow

Some need gold and some need diamond rings
Or a drug to take away the pain that living brings

All I knows since I found you

Happy, darling, come the dark
Happy when I taste your kiss
Im happy ... |
Woke up this morning, was a chill in the air

Your jacket hung on the chair where you left it last night
Everything was in place, everything was all right
But you were missing

You were drifting down and you couldnt... |
The angel rides with hunchbacked children, poison oozing from his engine
Wieldin love as a lethal weapon, on his way to hubcap heaven
Baseball cards poked in his spokes, his boots in oil hes patiently soaked
The roadside attendant nervously jokes as the angels tires stroke his precious pavement
The interstates choked w... |

Well, they built the Titanic to be one of a kind
But many ships have ruled the seas
They built the Eiffel Tower to stand alone
But they could build another if they please
Taj Mahal, the pyramids of Egypt are unique, I suppose
But when they built you, brother, they broke the mold
Now the world is filled with many wonder... |
