The lightnin' haze, zig zags in roads. Wake up with the black hearts, fight the 'Animals'. This is the testimony of the young at war. Dwellin' on the conflict thinkin'.
She was 21 with a rock n roll soul. cutting her teeth on that rebel radio.. Sounded like Emmy Lou Harris and the Rolling Stones. Searching for the beat in the heart of the nation.
I remember every holiday. Our whole town lined the streets. Waitin on the big parade. From the curb in their lawn chair seats. And one old man always the first to stand.
Eighth grade, standing my ground. Outweighed by at least 30 pounds. Oh, Willie T. James. Meanest boy in the school. Toe to toe outside of homeroom. Like two gunslingers in the hall at high noon.
I am asleep with my eyes open wide. I don't pretend, I truly am hypnotized. . 'Cause I am your friend and always will be. Can't see the forest for the trees?.
Closed my eyes for nothing. Just to see how it hurts. To be forced to listen. Sold my soul for nothing. Just to see how it works. Is this fortune that I'm kissing?.
I don't know where I am tonight. I wish I'd never gone. I left so I could find freedoms light. But instead I'm just alone, just alone. . Got to find my way back home tonight.
Yes, he looks for me, good. Let him look for me. To tell me why he left me. As I always knew he would. . I had thought he understood. They have never understood.
(Marcia Ball). . Now we're down to saying our goodbyes. And you still don't see the truth. All I did was try to make life better for you. But a woman just gets tired of being used.
If I ran so far that my life can't follow me. Would it keep the world from up and swallowin' me?. Well, there's so much to weigh me down that I can hardly breathe.
Skip across the dust. In the corner of my room, yeah. While the walls pull away. . And keep my hiding spirit shuffling, oh. And keep my hiding spirit shuffling, oh boy.
Fleashine, shoeshine, man of fifteen. Brings the house in with a smile. All twelve teeth tell myriad stories. One upon one and one. . The breath in his hand waving.
Bouncin' across the lake of ten years. Like a stone tossed from the burglar's hand. Holdin' my breath, then I'm sinkin'. Waves in circle like a memory slowly fade away, slowly fade.
Fare Thee Well. . (traditional). . You told me on the phone. That you don't have no man at all. Fare thee well. Babe fare thee well. You just told me on the phone.
There I was all alone. Someone in just the right place. For something to go wrong. . Just when I thought that I was safe and sound. He picked all the locks protecting me.
There I was all alone. Someone in just the right place. For something to go wrong. . Just when I thought that I was safe and sound. He picked all the locks protecting me.
Its 2am and we. Still cant go to sleep. Mascara warpaint. Is running down your cheeks. And I cant believe you think the future is your past. . Ive heard the stories of your Exs.
She always wanna take my time. Sleep in my bed every night. Baby you gotta recognize. Though you may benefit there is no commit. . Got your friends telling you to lock it down.
I cant get you off my mind. Im stealing time to keep this feeling. You walk around in all my dreams. And I just can conceal it. . You on my mind tonight.
Push on through dawn. (I was adored once too). Push on through dawn. (I was adored once too). . Push on through dawn. (I was adored once too). Push on through dawn.
