Dave Alvin/Tom Russell. (Blue Horn Toad Music, BMI, and Frontera Music, ASCAP, administered by Bug Music). . I'm just tryin' to make a livin'. I'm an old man at thirty-nine.
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.
Blackjack David came a-ridin through the wood. Singin so loud and merry. His voice was a-ringin through the green, green fields. And he spied a fair-haired maiden.
Baby black sky, black sky is all I see. Yeah, baby black sky, black sky is all I see. Please stand beside me baby. Shine your light for me. . Well, I been all around the world, aint nothin I aint seen.
There's a black-haired girl. Sittin' behind the bullet-proof glass. And she takes my money. Before I go and pump some gas. . As the cold rain falls on the parking lot.
Well when I was a young boy, I used to slip away. Down to the ashgrove to hear the old blues men play. There was big Joe and lightnin' and reverend Gary too.
Dave Alvin. (Blue Horn Toad Music, BMI, Administered by Bug Music). . There's a greyhound bus. Leavin' the great Northwest. Takin' her tonight. Back down south to Texas.

Come on, my lover, come on, my lover. There is so much we could ever discover. She said, "Boy, you can't find me, no, you can't find me. But, girl, you can find me, yes, you can find me here".
Tin loving disguised. Come join us on the other side. A false passion, a false cause. Does it really hurt to be ignored?. . Hey, girl, I never knew. .
Come on, baby, baby, baby, don't deny. You got me standing at the end of your line. I'll take your number, just put me down. I know, babe, I'll be the jewel in your crown.
See that girl, she got a pretty face and all. Sometimes the call of the wild can make you feel like a criminal. I dont know that I shouldnt pretend. 'Cause the truth hurts honey, oh it offends.
Hurry up and wait, stand in line. Well, I got better things to do with my time. Hold my hand just for tonight. For thats the done thing for kids our age right.
We're sitting pretty. Have you heard?. I gotta tell you that's a little absurd. Some things are too fast for me to fight. I'll jump the cliff and hit the other side.
We're sittin' pretty, have you heard?. I gotta tell you that's a little absurd. Some things are too fast for me to fight. I'll jump the cliff and hit the other side.
I may sound ungrateful. But tonight you know I am. How come some great big things. You can let slip through your hands. . Oh, oh, oh, W-O-E is me. . I'm a simple boy, I just need a simple girl.
There's a girl running around my head. I know she made me frown. She may be crazy, she may not be right. She make me feel like. Like a motherfucker from hell.

If it's pure and it's simple. Does it make it right?. Like I always said child. Life is hardly black and white. When you're. . (Messin'). Messin' around.
Hey there she said Looking good. What you doing tonight?. One look and I know I can't control. This feeling stirring inside. . 'Cause it's not love, it's something more.
