- Alice Eyes
Well Alice came along when I needed something strong
And there's two ways that can go for a man like me
She saw me reaching and reached me just in time
To save me from my insanity
And I could see it in those Alice eyes
I'd be sure and steady just like a child
Every morning when I wake up
Knowing that my light still shines
- Always Keep an Edge on Your Knife
never put your hat on the bed, son, never put your hat on the bed
cuz if your hat's on the bed you might wake up dead
so don't ya never put ya hat on the bed
and if you do be sure it’s upside down, son, if you do be sure it’s upside down
cuz if there’s any doubt, it keeps the luck from runnin’ out
so if you do be sure it’s upside down
never throw a match when it's dry, son, never throw a match when it's dry
don't you never throw a match cuz the grass might catch
- Horse Soldier, Horse Soldier
I'm a hussar, I'm a Hun, I'm a wretched Englishman
Routing Bonaparte at Waterloo
I'm a dragoon on a dun, I'm a Cossack on the run
I'm a horse soldier, timeless, through and through
I'm a horse soldier, eternal, through and through
I's with Custer and the 7th in ‘76 or ‘77
Scalped at Little Big Horn by the Sioux
- I Wanna Be In The Cavalry
I wanna be in the cavalry if they send me off to war
A E E B7 E
I wanna good steed under me like my forefathers before
E A C#m
Courageous at first we took their worst, our positions we held stout
A E E E B7
We clung to belief and we hung on the speech from our trusted leaders' mouths
- The Truth Comes Out
the truth comes out as the fire burns low
it comes to light as only embers glow
the whiskey talks, the west wind moans in the night
