"...Light, like the flutter of wings,
feel your hollow voice rushing into me
as you're longing to sing.
So I will paint you in silver.
I will wrap you in cold.
I will lift up your voice as I sink...."

~AFI Silver and Cold




I know that's a bit of a jump...but somehow this song kept popping into my head after "like a band of gypsies"....who can argue with how brain cells associate song lyrics :%).

"in the s%#@! house a shotgun
praying hands hold me down
only the hunter was hunted
in this tin can town
tin can town

no stars in the black night
look like the sky fall down
no sun in the daylight
looks like it's chained to the ground

the warden said the exit is sold
if you want a way out
silver and gold

broken back to the ceiling
broken nose to the floor
i screamed at the silence that's crawling
crawling under the door
under the floor

there's a rope around my neck
and there's a trigger in your gun
jesus, say something
i am someone
i am someone

captains and kings in the ships hold
they came to collect
silver and gold
silver and gold"

"That's the trouble with political jokes in this country... they get elected!" -- Dave Lippman

crawling in my skin
these wounds they will not heal
fear is how I fall
confusing what is real


there's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
consuming/confusing
this lack of self-control I fear is never ending
controlling/I can't seem


to find myself again
my walls are closing in
(without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
so insecure

crawling in my skin
these wounds they will not heal
fear is how I fall
confusing what is real

discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me
distracting/reacting
against my will I stand beside my own reflection
it's haunting how I can't seem...

to find myself again
my walls are closing in
(without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
so insecure

crawling in my skin
these wounds they will not heal
fear is how I fall

Connection: The word "crawling"... I dunno, it just popped into my head when I read the previous lyrics. *shrugs*

"This is my December
This is my time of the year
This is my December
This is all so clear
This is my December
This is my snow covered home
This is my December
This is me alone

And I,
Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
And I,
Take back all the things I said
To make you feel like that
And I,
Just wish that I didn't feel
Like there was something I missed
And I,
Take back all the things that I said to you

And I'd give it all away
Just to have somewhere to go to
Give it all away
To have someone to come home to...."

~Linkin Park My December


I still have that as the welcome message on my cell . .... .

"a lovestruck romeo sings a streetsuss serenade
he's laying everybody low with a love song that he made
he finds a convenient street light
steps out of the shade and says something like
you and me babe, how about it?

juliet says hey it's romeo you nearly gave me a heart attack
he's underneath the window she's singin 'hey la, my boyfriend's back'
you shouldn't come around here
singing up to people like that
anyway whatcha gonna do about it?

oh juliet the dice were loaded from the start
and i bet and you exploded into my heart
and i forget i forget the movie song
when you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong
juliet

they come up on different streets both were streets of shame
both dirty both mean and even their dreams were the same
and i dream your dream for you
and now your dream is real
so how can you look at me as if i was just another one of your deals?

when you can fall for chains of silver and you can fall for chains of gold
you can fall for pretty strangers and the promises they hold
you promised me everything
you promised me thick and thin
now you just say 'oh,romeo? yeah, i think i used to have a scene with him'

oh juliet when we made love you used to cry
you said i love you like the stars above
gonna love you till i die
there's a place for us you know the movie song
when you gonna realize it was just that the time was wrong?
juliet"

(Spoken):
He went away
And you hung around and bothered me every night
And, when I wouldn't go out with you
You said things that weren't very nice

My boyfriend's back, and you're gonna be in trouble
(Hey la, hey la, my boyfriend's back)
When you see him comin', better cut on the double
(Hey la, hey la, my boyfriend's back)
You've been spreadin' lies that I was untrue
(Hey la, hey la, my boyfriend's back)
So look out now, 'cause he's comin' after you
(Hey la, hey la, my boyfriend's back)

Hey, he knows that you've been tryin'
And he knows that you've been lyin'

He's been gone for such a long time
(Hey la, hey la, my boyfriend's back)
Now, he's back, and things will be fine
(Hey la, hey la, my boyfriend's back)
You're gonna be sorry you were ever born
(Hey la, hey la, my boyfriend's back)
'Cause he's kind of big and he's awful strong
(Hey la, hey la, my boyfriend's back)

Hey, he knows I wasn't cheatin'
Now, you're gonna get a beatin'
What made you think he'd believe all your lies?
You're a big man now, but he'll cut you down to size
Wait and see!

My boyfriend's back; he's gonna save my reputation
(Hey la, hey la, my boyfriend's back)
If I were you, I'd take a permanent vacation
(Hey la, hey la, my boyfriend's back)

Hey, I can see him comin'
Now, you better start a-runnin'

*instrumental*

Wait and see!

My boyfriend's back; he's gonna save my reputation
La, hey la, my boyfriend's back
La, hey la, my boyfriend's back

why do they fight against the poor youth of today

"That's the trouble with political jokes in this country... they get elected!" -- Dave Lippman

i guess we need to kickstart this thread a little


"i sit all alone in my bedroom staring at the walls
i've been up all damn night long
my pulse is beating my love is yearning
i hold my breath and close my eyes and dream about her
cause she's 2,000 light years away
she holds my malachite so tight so never let go
cause she's 2,000 light years away

i sit outside and watch the sun rise look out as far as i can
i can't see her but in the distance
i hear some laughter we laugh together
i hold my breath and close my eyes and dream about her
cause she's 2,000 light years away
she holds my malachite so tight so never let go
cause she's 2,000 light years away"

- Great Green -

How do you get your sleep at night?
How did you get your noose so tight?
Like chewing on tinfoil its so much fun
Gonna be dead before your gone

Coz look how things have gotten
And I'll be happy so I wont pretend
And I'll be cheering that you're going down
And I'll be laughing, I'll be laughing

How many feelings can you steal?
Gotta be part of your appeal
I can see through you cause you're wearing thin
Like chewing on tinfoil once again

Coz look how things have gotten
And I'll be happy so I wont pretend
And I'll be cheering that you're going down
And I'll be laughing, I'll be laughing

Ha ha you're dead
And I'm so happy
In loving memory
Of your demise

When your ship is going down
I'll go out and paint the town
Ha ha you're dead
Ha ha you're dead
Ha ha you're dead

(ha ha ha)

Ha ha you're dead
The joke is over
You were an *Edit*
And now you're gone
As your ship is going down
I'll stand by and watch you drown

Ha ha you're dead
You're gonna be dead
Just remember what I said
Ha ha you're dead
Ha ha you're dead
Ha ha you're dead

Critical Fertilator: The Micromanager of Macronutrients

this is one of my all-time favorite songs

"i returned a bag of groceries
accidentally taken off the shelf before the expiration date
i came back as a bag of groceries
accidentally taken off the shelf before the date stamped on myself

did a large procession wave their torches as my head fell in the basket
and was everybody dancing on the casket?
now it's over i'm dead and i haven't done anything that i want
or i'm still alive and there's nothing i want to do

i will never say the word procrastinate again
i'll never see myself in the mirror with my eyes closed
i didn't apologize for when i was 8 and i made my younger brother have to be my personal slave

did a large procession wave their torches as my head fell in the basket
and was everybody dancing on the casket?
now it's over i'm dead and i haven't done anything that i want
or i'm still alive and there's nothing i want to do

so i won't
sit at home
anymore
and you won't
see my head in the window
and i won't
be around
ever anymore
and i'll be up there on the wall at the store

i returned a bag of groceries
accidentally taken off the shelf before the expiration date
i came back as a bag of groceries
accidentally taken off the shelf before the date stamped on myself

did a large procession wave their torches as my head fell in the basket
and was everybody dancing on the casket?
now it's over i'm dead and i haven't done anything that i want
or i'm still alive and there's nothing i want to do

now it's over i'm dead and i haven't done anything that i want
or i'm still alive and there's nothing i want to do"

millencolin - 22

I'm one year older now since last time I saw you
in case you wanna know, I'm about to say what I'm up to
first of all I'm a sluggard movin' slow in a clumsy way
some peace of mind is what I want, but that will be the day
I've been going with the flow for too long now, this must end
running 'round in circles, I've been so far away from myself
searching for the energy and the time to make a change in my life
instead of watching it pass by, get something done while I'm alive.

I'm twenty two, don't know what I'm supposed to do
or how to be, to get some more out of me.
I'm twenty two, so far away from all my dreams
I'm twenty two, feeling blue.

I try to activate myself the best I can
so that boredom won't catch up with me, i've my daily plan
wake up late, then rehearse a bit with the band, I guess it's cool?
Later when I'm home again I boil a note or two
then I go to bed that's what I do.

I'm twenty two, don't know what I'm supposed to do
or how to be, to get some more out of me.
I'm twenty two, so far away from all my dreams
I'm twenty two, feeling blue.

Afraid that I will be weak forever
I can't stay in this shape any longer
my life's just another cliche.

"When I was younger I thought the world circled around me
But in time I realized I was wrong
My immortal thoughts turned into just dreams of a dead future
It was a tragic case of my reality

Do you think you're indestructable
And no one can touch you
Well I think you're disposeable
And it's time you knew the truth...

Cause it's just one of my lies!
Well, it's just one of my lies
And all I wanted to was get real high
Well, it's just one of my lies

Why does my life have to be so small?
Yet death is forever
And does forever have a life to call its own?
Don't give me an answer cause you
Only know as much as I know
Unless you're been there once
Well I hardly think so

Do you think you're indestructable
And no one can touch you
Well I think you're disposeable
And it's time you knew the truth...

Cause it's just one of my lies!
Well, it's just one of my lies
And all I wanted to was get real high
Well, it's just one of my lies

I used to pray all night
Before I lay myself down
My mother said it was right
Her mother said it too...
Why?"

"That's the trouble with political jokes in this country... they get elected!" -- Dave Lippman

I was thinking of putting the whole song in here....this is less than half.

Serotonin's gone she gave up drifted away
Sara fled though process gone
She left her answering machine on
The greeting left spoken sincere
Messages no one will ever hear

10,000 messages a day a million more transmissions lay
Dead victims of the laissez faire 10,000 voices
100 guns, 100 decibels turns to one, one bullet
One empty head now with serotonin gone

The man that used to speak
Performs a cute routine.
Feel a little patronized.
Don't feel bad. They found
A way inside your head
And you feel a bit misled.
It's not that they don't
Care. The television's
Put a thought inside your
Head like a Barry Manilow
Jingle I'd like to teach the
World to sing in perfect
Harmony a symphonic blank
Stare. It doesn't make you care.
Not designed to make you care.
They're betting you wont care.

They'll place a wager on your greed.
A wager on your pride
Why try to beat them when a million others tried

We are the whore.
Intellectually spayed
We are the queer
Dysfunctionally raised

One more pill to kill the pain,
One more pill to kill the pain
One more pill to kill the pain,
Living through diformity
One more prayer to keep me safe.
One more prayer to keep us warm.
One more prayer to keep us safe
There's gonna be a better place

Lost the battle lost the war lost the things
Worth living for lost the will to win the fight
One more pill to kill the pain
The going gets tough the tough get debt
Don't pay attention pay the rent our next of kins
Pay for your sins a little faith should keep us safe

Save us

The human existence is failing
Resistance essential. The future
Written off. The odds are astronomically
Against us only
Moron and genius would fight a
Losing battle against the super
Ego when giving in is so damn comforting

And so we go on with our lives we
Know the truth but prefer lies
Lies are simple. Simple is bliss. Why
Go against tradition when we can
Admit defeat. Live in decline. Be there
Victim of our own design
With status quo built on suspect.
Why would anyone stick out their
Neck

Fellow members, club
We've got ours. I'd
Like to introduce
You to our host.
He's got his and I've
Got mine. Meet

The Decline

I recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone
I recommend walking around naked in your living room
Swallow it down (what a jagged little pill)
It feels so good (swimming in your stomach)
Wait until the dust settles

You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn

I recommend biting off more then you can chew to anyone
I certainly do
I recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at any time
Feel free
Throw it down (the caution blocks you from the wind)
Hold it up (to the rays)
You wait and see when the smoke clears

You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn

Wear it out (the way a three-year-old would do)
Melt it down (you're gonna have to eventually anyway)
The fire trucks are coming up around the bend

You live you learn
You love you learn
You cry you learn
You lose you learn
You bleed you learn
You scream you learn

You grieve you learn
You choke you learn
You laugh you learn
You choose you learn
You pray you learn
You ask you learn
You live you learn

The devil went down to Georgia
He was lookin' for a soul to steal
He was in a bind
'Cause he was way behind
And he was willin' to make a deal

When he came upon this young man
Sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot
And the devil jumped
Up on a hickory stump
And said boy let me tell you what

I guess you didn't know it
but I'm a fiddle player too
And if you care to take a dare I'll make a bet with you

Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy
But give the devil his due
I'll bet a fiddle of gold
Against your soul
'Cause I think I'm better than you

The boy said my name's Johnny
And it might be a sin
But I'll take your bet
And you're gonna regret
'Cause I'm the best there's ever been

Johnny rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard
Cause hell's broke loose in Georgia and the devil deals the cards
And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold
But if you lose the devil gets your soul.

The devil opened up his case
And he said I'll start this show
And fire flew from his fingertips
As he rosined up his bow

Then he pulled the bow across the strings
And it made an evil hiss
And a band of demons joined in
And it sounded something like this

When the devil finished
Johnny said well you're pretty good old son
Just sit right in that chair right there
And let me show you how it's done

He played Fire on the Mountain
Run boys, run
The devil's in the House of the Rising Sun
Chicken in a bread pan picken' out dough
Granny does your dog bite
No child, no

The devil bowed his head
Because he knew that he'd been beat
And he laid that golden fiddle
On the ground at Johnny's feet

Johnny said, Devil just come on back
If you ever wanna try again
I done told you once you son of a bitch
I'm the best there's ever been

And he played Fire on the Mountain
Run boys, run
The devil's in the House of the Rising Sun
Chicken in a bread pan picken' out dough
Granny does your dog bite
No child, no

Been ten long years since the devil laid his fiddle at Johnny's feet,
and it burned inside his mind the way he suffered that defeat,
in the darkest pits of hell the devil hatched an evil plan
To tempt the fiddle player for he's just a mortal man
"The sin of pride," the devil cried "is what will do you in,"
"I thought we had this settled I'm the best that's ever been"

Johnny did you ever know that time keeps marching on
The coldest hour is the one comes just before the dawn.
The devil's back in Georgia will you stand up to the test,
Or will you let the devil be the best.

"Truth is I haven't played much since the baby came in June,
But give me half a minute and I'll get this fiddle back in tune,"
The devil grabbed the golden fiddle out of Johnny's hand and said
"Boy I'm a fiddle player underground but now I walk upon the land."
Y'all better just be turning back if y'all want this boy to win cause practice
is the only cure for the predicament he's in
"Now devil it would be a sin for you to get my bow
so you go on back to hell and to the woodshed I will go"

Johnny are you practicing or will your hands grow cold?
the devil wants the land and plays a fiddle made of gold.
Can you hear the babe a cryin' will he ever know
the devil wants his daddy's very soul

"Before I play I want to thank you for letting god's own word ring true,
he said you can't be trusted"
"yeah so what you going to do?"
"Well you get your fiddle devil if you think you can win
Cause I beat you once you old dog and I can whip your butt again"

John Brown's green the devil's red
My little baby loves shortening bread
The devil's dream's that he can win
But Johnny's the best that's ever been

"i lit out from reno, i was trailed by 20 hounds
didn't get to sleep until the morning came around

set out runnin but i take my time
a friend of the devil is a friend of mine
if i get home before daylight
just might get some sleep tonight

ran into the devil and he loaned me 20 bills
spent the night in utah in a cave up in the hills

set out runnin but i take my time
a friend of the devil is a friend of mine
if i get home before daylight
just might get some sleep tonight

i ran down to the levee but the devil found me there
took my 20 dollar bill and vanished in the air

set out runnin but i take my time
a friend of the devil is a friend of mine
if i get home before daylight
just might get some sleep tonight

got two reasons why i cry away each lonely night
first one's named sweet ann marie and she's my heart's delight
second one is prison baby sheriff's on my trail
and if he catches up to me i'll spend my life in jail

got a wife in chino babe and one in cherokee
first one says she's got my child but he don't look like me

set out runnin but i take my time
a friend of the devil is a friend of mine
if i get home before daylight
just might get some sleep tonight"

Devil's Night Out

Remember that night? It seems so clear
Now he's back and I'm glad he's here
Three long years, millions of beers
The devil is back, so girls, dry your tears
In his favorite club, in his favorite seat
I saw the devil, wing tip shoes on his feet,
Pork pie hat on his head, he was diggin' the beat.
And the band ripped like demons
When he screamed, "Turn On The Heat!"
Well the devil was drinkin' and dancin' up a storm
The band was so hot, my beer got warm
Just when I thought it would all cool down
That evil mother screamed "Burn this place down!"
Wouldn't know the Devil if he punched them in the face
Couldn't drink a six-pack, never mind a case
Don't know how to skateboard, that's just a crock
Most of all, they got no balls,
And don't know how to rock

When the devil came
He was not red
He was chrome and he said

Come with me
You must go
So I went
Where everything was clean
So precise and towering

I was welcomed
With open arms
I received so much help in every way
I felt no fear
I felt no fear

The air was crisp
Like sunny late winter days
A springtime yawning high in the haze
And I felt like I belonged
Come with me

[spoken]
This is the greatest and best song in the world... Tribute.

Long time ago me and my brother Kyle here,
we was hitchhikin' down a long and lonesome road.
All of a sudden, there shined a shiny demon... in the middle... of the road.
And he said:
[sung]
Play the best song in the world, or I'll eat your soul. (soul)
[spoken]
Well me and Kyle, we looked at each other,
and we each said... Okay.
[sung]
And we played the first thing that came to our heads,
Just so happened to be,
The Best Song in the World, it was The Best Song in the World.

Look into my eyes and it's easy to see
One and one make two, two and one make three,
It was destiny.
Once every hundred-thousand years or so,
When the sun doth shine and the moon doth glow
And the grass doth grow...

Needless to say, the beast was stunned.
'Whip-crack' went his swampy tail,
And the beast was done.
He asked us: (snort) Be you angels?
And we said, Nay. We are but men.
Rock!
Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh-ah-ah,
Ohhh, whoah, ah-whoah-oh!

This is not The Greatest Song in the World, no.
This is just a tribute.
Couldn't remember The Greatest Song in the World, no, no.
This is a tribute, oh, to The Greatest Song in the World,
All right! It was The Greatest Song in the World,
All right! It was the best muthaf***in' song, the greatest song in the world.

[2-part skat]
Part 1: Be, too, guh, gum, be, goo, gee, goo, goo. Fli, goo, gih, goo
Part 2: Oh Oh
Part 1: guh, fli, goo, guh, goo, ba, be, uh, guh, goo, be, uh, goo,
Part 2: Oh
Part 1:guh, be, goo, guh, be, fli, goo, gee, goo, uh, fli, goh
Part 2: Oh Oh Oh Oh
Part 1: oo, ma, ma, ma, mi, suh, fay

[spoken]
And the peculiar thing is this my friends:
the song we sang on that fateful night it didn't actually sound anything like this song!

[sung]
This is just a tribute! You gotta believe me!
And I wish you were there! Just a matter of opinion.
Ah, f***! Good God, God lovin',
It's no surprise to find you can't stop it.
[skat]
All right! All right!

~Meow. Thus spoke the cat.~

The greatest lost track of all time:
The Late Greats' "Turpentine"
You can't hear it on the radio
You can't hear it anywhere you go

The best band will never get signed
K-Settes starring Butcher's Blind
Are so good, you won't ever know
They never even played a show
You can't hear 'em on the radio

The greatest singer in rock and roll
Would have to be Romeo
His vocal chords are made of gold
He just looks a little too old

The greatest lost track of all time:
The Late Greats' "Turpentine"
I can't hear it on the radio
I don't hear it anywhere I go

The best song will never get sung
The best life never leaves your lungs
So good, you won't ever know
I never hear it on the radio
Can't hear it on the radio

from a duet with chet atkins and mark knopfler:

chet: there'll be a change in the weather and a change in the scene
i'm gonna start wearing leather and change my routine
i'll wear dark glasses, maybe a toupee
i'll get down and boogie and become risque
i'll start wearing makeup like jackson and prince
you'll see me driving in my mercedes benz
nobody wants you when you just play guitar
there'll be some changes made tomorrow
there'll be some changes made.

mark: yeah but chet, you're never gonna get to play that rock n roll
you're kinda country, just a little bit old

chet: but your money for nothing and your chicks for free?

mark: well, them groupie girls ain't what they're cracked up to be

chet: well i'd really like to find out for myself doncha know
i've had a sheltered life down here on music row
"well, uh like man" whaddya think?

mark: i don't know

chet: i really think that i can make the grade
there'll be some changes made

Linking Mercedez benz.



Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends
Worked hard all my lifetime; no help from my friends
So-oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a color T.V.
"Dialing for Dollars" is trying to find me
I'll wait for delivery, each day until three
So Lord, won't you buy me a color T.V.

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town
I'm counting on you Lord, please don't let me down
Prove that you love me, and buy the next round
Oh Lord, won't you buy me a night on the town

"that ain't workin that's the way you do it

I've been balling a shiny black steel jack-hammer
Been chipping up rocks for the great highway
I'll live five years if I take my time
Balling that jack and drinking my wine

I been chipping them rocks from dawn till doom
While my rider hide my bottle in the other room
Doctor say better stop balling that jack
If I live five years I'm gonna bust my back, yes I will

Chorus
Easy wind, cross the Bayou today
'Cause there's a whole lotta women, Mama
Out in red on the streets today
And the river keeps a talking
But you never heard a word it said

Gotta find a woman be good to me
Won't hide my liquor try, to serve me tea
'Cause I'm a stone jack baller and my heart is true
And I'll give everything that I got to you, yes I will

"there's blood in the streets it's up to my ankles
blood in the streets it's up to my knee
blood in the streets the town of chicago
blood on the rise it's following me

just about the break of day
she came and then she drove away
sunlight in her hair

blood in the streets runs a river of sadness
blood in the streets it's up to my thighs
well the river runs red down the legs of the city
the women are crying rivers of weeping

she came and then she drove away
sunlight in her hair

indians scattered on a dawn's highway bleeding
ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind

blood in the streets in the town of new haven
blood stains the roofs and the palm trees of venice
bloody my love in the terrible summer
bloody red sun of phantastic L.A.

there's blood in the streets it's up to my ankles
blood in the streets it's up to my knee
blood in the streets the town of chicago
blood on the rise it's following me"

'Twas in another lifetime, one of toil and blood
When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud
I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form.
"Come in," she said,
"I'll give you shelter from the storm."

"Three thirty in the morning,
Not a soul in sight,
The citys lookin like a ghost town
On a moonless summer night.
Raindrops on the windshield,
Theres a storm moving in.
Hes headin back from somewhere
That he never should have been.
And the thunder rolls.
And the thunder rolls.

Every light is burnin
In a house across town.
Shes pacin by the telephone
In her faded flannel gown.
Askin for miracle,
Hopin shes not right,
Prayin its the weather
Thats kept him out all night.
And the thunder rolls.
And the thunder rolls.

The thunder rolls
And the lightnin strikes.
Another love grows cold
On a sleepless night,
As the storm blows on
Out of control
Deep in her heart
The thunder rolls.

Shes waitin by the window
When he pulls into the drive
She rushes out to hold him
Thankful hes alive
But on the wind and rain
A strange new perfume blows
And the lightnin flashes in her eyes
And he knows that she knows
And the thunder rolls
And the thunder rolls

The thunder rolls
And the lightnin strikes.
Another love grows cold
On a sleepless night,
As the storm blows on
Out of control
Deep in her heart
The thunder rolls.

She runs back down the hallway
To the bedroom door
She reaches for the pistol
Kept in the dresser drawer
Tells the lady in the mirror
He wont do this again
Cause tonight will be the last time
Shell wonder where hes been"

HM - I don't recall that last verse....

Papa drove a truck nearly all his life
You know it drove mama crazy being a truckers wife
The part she couldnt handle was the being alone
I guess she needed more to hold than just a telephone
Papa called mama each and every night
Just to ask her how she was and if us kids were alright
Mama would wait for that call to come in
When daddyd hang up she was gone again.

(chorus)
Mama was a looker
Lord, how she shined
Papa was a goodn
But the jealous kind
Papa loved mama
Mama loved men
Mamas in the graveyard
Papas in the pen.

Well, it was bound to happen and one night it did
Papa came home and it was just us kids
He had a dozen roses and a bottle of wine
If he was lookin to surprise us, he was doin fine
I heard him cry for mama up and own the hall
Then I h heard a bottle break against the bedroom wall
That old diesel engine made an eerie sound
When papa fired it up and headed into town.

Well, the picture in the paper showed the scene real well
Papas rig was buried in the local motel
The desk clerk said he saw it all real clear
He never hit the brakes and he was shifting gears.

Delilah Jones was the mother of twins
two times over and the rest was sins
Raised eight boys, only I turned bad
Didn't get the lickings that the other ones had


Brown eyed women and red grenadine
the bottle was dusty but the liquor was clean
Sound of the thunder with the rain pouring down
and it looks like the old man's getting on


Tumble down shack in Bigfoot County
Snowed so hard that the roof caved in
Delilah Jones went to meet her God
and the old man never was the same again

And I turned twenty-one in prison doin' life without parole,

No one could steer me right but Momma Tried, Momma Tried

Momma Tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied
A
nd that leaves only me to blame, cause Momma Tried

"Ricky was a young boy, He had a heart of stone.
Lived 9 to 5 and worked his fingers to the bone.
Just barely out of school, came from the edge of town.
Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down.
He had no money, oooh no good at home.
He walked the streets a soldier and he fought the world alone
And now it's

18 and life You got it
18 and life you know
Your crime is time and it's
18 and life to go

Tequila in his heartbeat, His veins burned gasoline.
It kept his motor running but it never kept him clean.
They say he loved adventure, "Ricky's the wild one."
He married trouble and had a courtship with a gun.
Bang Bang Shoot 'em up, The party never ends.
You can't think of dying when the bottle's your best friend
And now it's

18 and life You got it
18 and life you know
Your crime is time and it's
18 and life to go

"Accidents will happen" they all heard Ricky say
He fired his six-shot to the wind and that child blew a child away

18 and life You got it
18 and life you know
Your crime is time and it's
18 and life to go"

We spend the summer with the top rolled down,
Wished ever after would be like this.
You said "I love you babe," without a sound.
I said I'd give my life for just one kiss.
I'd live for your smile, and die for your kiss.


Remember yesterday, walking hand in hand.
Love letters in the sand, I remember you.
Through the sleepless nights, and every endless day.
I'd wanna hear you say, I remember you.

"jump back!
what's that sound?
here she comes, full blast and top down
hot shoes burning down the avenue
model citizen
zero discipline

don't you know she's coming home to me?
you'll lose her in the turns
i'll get her

Linking to work:

I learned the reason why man must work and how to dream big dreams
To conquer time and space and fight the rivers and the seas
I stand here filled with my emptiness now and look at city and land
And I know why farms and cities are built by hot, warm, nervous hands

I crossed many states just to stand here now, my face all hot with tears
I crossed city, and valley, desert, and stream, to bring my body here
My history and future blaze bright in me and all my joy and pain
Go through my head on our mountain bed where I smell your hair again.

All this day long I linger here and on in through the night
My greeds, desires, my cravings, hopes, my dreams inside me fight:
My loneliness healed, my emptiness filled, I walk above all pain
Back to the breast of my woman and child to scatter my seeds again

One by one
Hollow heroes separate
As they run

Keep your hand in mine

now an empty shell
twenty one, only son
but he served us well
bred to kill, not to care
do just as we say
finished here, greetings death
he's yours to take away

back to the front
you will do what i say when i say
back to the front
you will die when i say you must die
back to the front

Never gonna hold the hand of another guy
Too young for him they told her
Waitin' for the love of a travelin' soldier
Over love will never end
Waitin' for the soldier to come back again
Never more to be alone when the letter said
A soldier's coming home

So the letters came from an army camp
In California then Vietnam
And he told her of his heart
It might be love and all of the things he was so scared of
He said when it's getting kinda rough over here
I think of that day sittin' down at the pier
And I close my eyes and see your pretty smile
Don't worry but I won't be able to write for awhile


One Friday night at a football game
The Lord's Prayer said and the Anthem sang
A man said folks would you bow your heads
For a list of local Vietnam dead
Crying all alone under the stands
Was a piccolo player in the marching band
And one name read and nobody really cared
But a pretty little girl with a bow in her hair

"how many roads must a man walk down 42!
before you call him a man?
how many seas must the white duck sail
before she sleeps in the sand
and how many times must the cannonballs fly
before they're forever banned?
the answer my friend, is blowing in the wind
the answer is blowing in the wind

how many times can a man look up
before he can see the sky?
yes and how many ears must one man have
before he can hear people cry?
yes and how many deaths will it take till he knows
that too many people have died?
the answer my friend is blowing in the wind
the answer is blowing in the wind

how many years can a mountain exist
before it is washed to the sea?
and how many years can some people exist
before they're allowed to be free?
and how many times can a man turn his head
and pretend that he just doesn't see?
the answer my friend, is blowing in the wind
the answer is blowing in the wind"
