(Butch Hancock). . I was standin at a big hotel. wishin everybody well. but if anybody paid me any mind it was hard to tell. a big policeman on his beat.
So you wanna be rich.... You want the women to swoon. When you walk in the room. And they gaze into your diamond ring.. You want the men to stare. As you rant and swear.
Come here with me. I wanna slow you down. I wanna smear the moonlight in your skin. And put Orion in your crown. . Let it all go. I know that you're beat.
The world is not ment for us. It's place for people who believe in fairy tales. But we don't even listen to the voice. Of mother earth she's not feeling very well.
He had hair... black as a fiberglass speedboat. The morning air... was crisp as a brand new bank note. He swaggered... like a surfer on a Louisiana dirtbike.
Dark cold around me. This cold inside me. My soul is frozen and. Alone in the dark. Shelter my naked body. Shovel me a grave. My beautiful home. Shovel me a grave.
Only a breath of air when a man is dying. You look at me and wish the hand is helping. You follow the stream of emptiness with your eyes. I dry away your tears and fly to the kingdom of bitter memories.
CHORUS. Sister, soak the beans. I'll be comin Home to Chop the Onion. Mama, light the stove. It'll take a while for the cornbread to get done. I'll be comin' home.
I crawl and hide away. I am the snake beneath you. I am the fly on the dunghill. I am nothing good for you. I deceive and destroy. I am evil and full of lust.
One day I went and left my home out in the West. Said I was headed for the Silver City. All along the line I was dreaming all the time. Dreaming of the shining Silver City.
I met her in old mexico. She was laughing sad and young. In a smokey room no-one could see. All the poets they agreed. Spanish is a loving tongue but.
Rain beats me down. I cry for my sins and love. My blood runs to the ground. In the sky the moon feels pity for me. . I look deep into the eyes. You're ashamed of the lust.
This highway's like a girl I knew. You climb into her car.. She takes you many places. She leaves you where you are.. . Her ribbons are all a tangle. Her breath is long and fast.
Sword Of Light. . For many years I travel. to a land that 's miles away. And now the time has come. To find a place for me to stay. But before that time arrive.
Rain beats me down. I cry for my sins and love. My blood runs to the ground. In the sky the moon feels pity for me. . I look deep into the eyes. You're ashamed of the lust.
Baby like the night life. She can't tolerate the quiet life. She got a shakin' fever. Ain't nobody don't believe her. . She gotta get the gettin' tonight.
Shame, my only feeling. Shame, of dirty memories. We hide and the words hurt more. Like a slap on my face. . Pain takes over my mind. When shame fills up the room.
Waiting for the train to France. I hung my head in shame. Feeling for all purposes like a. man without a name. Adios that's all she said. I knew it had to be.
She collected. Gun-slingers, first-stringers, dead-ringers. She just needed more. . She collected. Dance hallers, Know-it-all-ers, Wreckin-ball-ers. She just needed more.
You say you want drama. I'll Give you drama. You say you want muscle. I'll give you nerve. You want sugar. Would you settle for honey?. You want romance.
