Well your wishes and your feelings. Your bad dreams and intuitions. Are about as much good to me right now as a brand new set of golf clubs. We've been this close to death before, we were just too drunk to know it.
It was 1990 give or take I don't remember. When the news of revolution hit the air. The girls hadn't even started taking down our posters. When the boys started cutting off their hair.
All packed to go, baloney and mayonnaise sandwiches for the road. Lay them out across the dash in the August sun. And if they turn green don't be afraid.
You said that you'd be waiting for me here in Santa Fe. With hotel rooms and TV's booming loud every night and day. And all I have to do is just be careful what I say.
Got them pretty road cases. Protect our asses, protect our faces, protect our guitars, protect our amps.. Got them pretty road cases throw them out an airplane and they'll just bounce.
Church blew up in Birmingham. Four little black girls killed for no goddamn good reason. All this hate and violence can't come to no good end. A stain on the good name..
Honey don't you walk out. I'm too drunk to follow. I know you won't feel this way. Tomorrow. A little rough around the edges. Inside's a little hollow.
Ray, I got to tell you, you got to come take that gun back. 'Cause these things that I been shooting at are getting all too real. Don't want to hurt nobody but I keep on aiming closer.
Mary Alice had a baby and he looked just like I did. We got married on a Monday and I been working ever since. Every week down at the Ford Plant but now they say they're shutting down.

The old man's out by the swimming pool. He goes there to think. He talks on the phone sometimes. Hardly mentions a thing. Said he needed it for his knees.
She was fresh out of college. First one in her family to go. And California seemed like heaven. Pulaski, Tennessee was her home. . She worked on losing her southern accent.
Grandpa's pissed his pants again. He don't give a damn. Uncle John's been acting strange. He ain't been right since Vietnam. . [Chorus]. Sweet home Alabama.
Here I am again perfect timing,. The strings are ringing and the words are rhyming. I used to hate the fool in me, but only in the morning. Now I tolerate him all day long.
He was ready for the big trip, he was moving to the city;. He had packed his prize possessions and gave away the rest.. He was almost doing ninety, the sky was blue, sun was shining..
Don't call me your baby. I won't answer. Love is like cancer. And I am immune. . To all that you're bringing. The tune that you're singing. A sign of a locked room.
Johnny sniffing glue, he was 12 years old. Fell to the Earth on Easter night. Cathy was 11 when she pulled the plug. On 26 reds and a bottle of wine. Bobby got leukemia, 14 years old.
He was elected, wingnut raised and corn fed. Teabags dragging on the chamber floor. He did what he had to do to get southern boys to vote for you. To grease the wheels to get you in the door.
Saw you standing in the hallway, red plastic. Cup, and one of those big long. Cigarettes. You asked me if I could play you some Dylan. I said "Dylan who?" you told me to kiss your ass.
You want to grow up to paint houses like me. A trailer in my yard till you're twenty three. You want to be old after forty two years. Keep dropping the hammer and grinding the gears.
