1. I choose not to see the things that be,. Or the miles and years that are gone.. I pay no heed to tomorrow's need,. I'm blinded by the snow and the sun,.
How many roads must a man walk down. Before they call him a man?. How many seas must a white dove sail. Before she sleeps in the sand?. . And how many times must the cannonballs fly.
Please help the working man bless them machines. They don't need me anymore for I need them bread and beans. Well hear me talkin' to you I need them bread and beans.

From a hill I look down at the lights of a town that lured me and trapped me a while. But I broke away now I'm on my way so happy carefree like a child.
Dave Alvin. (Blue Horn Toad Music, BMI, Administered by Bug Music). . Well I hate the way you call my name, baby. I hate that look on your face. And I hate the cold touch of your kiss, baby.
Yes I know that I'm about to lose you cause someone else is always on your mind. Why must I have to give you up and give my heart up too. For a love that came along before my time.
The man who preached the funeral. Said it really was a simple way to die. He laid down to rest one afternoon. And never opened up his eyes. . They hired me and Fred and Joe.
The man in the bed isn't me. Now I slipped out the door and I'm runnin' free. Young and wild like I'll always be. But the man in the bed isn't me. . And these tremblin' hands, they're not mine.
I see the bad moon rising. I see trouble all the way. I see earthquakes and lightening. I see bad times today. . Don't fool around tonight. Well, it's bound to take your life.
Got my heart patched up my goodnight sleep and my dancin' slippers on. I'm diggin' up where I left off when lovin' you went wrong. You'll notice I'm all smiles again and out of hibernation.
It's just a small cafe, I'm here most everyday. At the junction of heartbreak road. I guess it's very clear, it's you that put me here. At the junction of heartbreak road.
Love to see to see them tall trees swayin. Tall trees swayin in the breeze. When I see them tall trees swayin. Sway like my babe walkin back to me. Sway like my babe walkin back to me.
The little waitress wore an artificial rose. I met her in a truck stop long ago. She brought my coffee with a smile and then sat down. And we started talking bout my wanderin' round.
Little surfer, little one. Made my heart come all undone. Do you love me, do you surfer girl?. Surfer girl, my little surfer girl. . I have watched you on the shore.
Arms that are thrilling reach out for me eager and easy to know. Arms that could hold me and tell me a lie warm arms that love then let go. Tempting inviting they're backin' and try to make me forget my someone.

Mosquitos buzzin' round my head Spanish moss for my bed. Very seldom see dry land cause I'm an alligator man. I hunt the gator all night long sell his hide and then I'm gone.
Me and the boy's we cinched up our saddles. And rode to Sonora last night. Gun's hanging proud, daring out loud. For anyone looking to fight. . Card cheats and rustlers would run for their holes.
