Cool Drink of WaterSittin' on a crack 800 hundred miles long
Waiting for her to give
And send us all just a tumbling down
This ain't no way to live
I said, this ain't no way to live
They say we all must be kinda crazy
Livin' here in Los Angeles
Where the ground she's a shakin'
Dead Man's ShoesI've got some dead man's shoes and I'm walkin' tall
Got my dead man's shoes, just walkin' tall for you
Darlin' just for you
Got on a repo suit and it's wearin' thin
Got my repo suit, just wearin' thin for you
Sweetheart, for you
Bring your cryin' rag, Darlin' keep it close
Gotta Get Outta This TownWell, I was born with wrinkles born, Darlin', upside down
Looked up at that Doctor and said, don't you shine me on
He said listen here, Son, I know how this might sound
Doctor slapped my ass and said, you gotta get outta this town
When I was old enough to forge my Daddy's name
I picked out the first used car, Baby, that I found
Didn't care about the rust, the paint or them worn out seats, no no no
Henry Nearly Killed MeHenry Nearly Killed Me (It's a Shame) words & music Ray LaMontagne
All my life I been poor boy's son - Scratchin' for my meat
I have been kicked in my teeth - Till the blood run hot and sweet
I seen a lot of living, my friend - And this I will repeat
Just because you knock a man down - Don't mean that you got him beat
It's a shame, shame, shame - Baby, it's a cryin' shame
Well, Henry nearly killed me - 'Fore they hauled his ass in jail
Slapped me right across my face - With a flour sack full o' nails
Nearly broke my head in two - With his steel-toed boots
Shovin' all that money - Down the laundry chute
It's a shame, shame,shame - Baby, it's a cryin' shame
Well, sweet little Mary Anne - With her make-up all a mess
Picks herself up off the floor - Coughs and straightens her dress
Sayin' please, please Daddy, - Can I have just a little bit more
He said sorry Baby, I'm headin' out - Somehow this town don't feel like home anymore
It's a shame,shame,shame - Lord, it's a cryin' shame
I've seen a lot of living my friend - And this i will repeat
Just because you knock a man down - Don't mean you got him beat
