- Behind The Number One
Behind the #1
there's a land o' milk and honey
full o' lawsuits left and right
keeps me jumpin' in the water
drownin' demons in the night
(we cant kill ev'rybody)
- Comes The Blues
la and chicago san antonio
another man has left you behind
another woman cries for a sweeter taste of life
those days have gone to sadness in your eyes
standin' on the steps growin' older with regret
as i travel down the roads of my past
i wonder if she dreams of layin' in your arms
- For the Mission Baby
She was sixteen, handy with a needle and thread
she danced to the Beatles in '65
he was dark and handsome maybe seventeen
they made love one night one breath to be.
chorus
singin' lovely love lil' dark-eyed darlin'
lovely be for the mission baby
- In Your Mercy
they bring me food and water
in this room is all i know
but my thirsty spirit keeps me
in your mercy where i go
i use to do what made me happy
now my weary hands are tied
to a struggle to remember
- Pitiful Blues
all i wanna see all i wanna hear
is people dyin' screamin' full o' fear
an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
i aint learned nuthin' but the poor me pitiful blues
go tell ya mama tell ya daddy too
they drove me crazy tellin' me the truth
an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
- Savannah Blues
Savannah blues
It's cool down in Savannah
like the last time i know
it's cool down in savannah
like the last time i know
and i feel lost and hurtin'
and thirsty like befo'
- The Mighty City
the blisterin' needles of rain
on a day like the others
satisfaction surreal and so simple
for a moment under cover
i follow the sounds in the distance
with a feelin' sore in my feet
breathin' believin' in sorrow
- Twisted Arms
Fair and square
looks good on paper
coughin' up blood
at the head o' the table
Satisfied
don't you move a muscle
livin' in that skin
- Whitewash Job
I get my news lookin' at you
i live the blues cause you butcher the truth
hearsay monkey do dolittle candyman
you know who's who in a bulletproof jetplane
he sits in the corner aint the same
passed on to the sixth grade barely write his name
knowledge is power education is the law
- Yesterday's Clothes
I ain't never heard you singin'
I ain't never heard you cry
you been livin' here on the other side
you keepa tellin' me why
dressed to kill hangin' around
tooth and nail hammer down
you been livin' here on the other side
