I Dont Have To Crawl


When you look at me
+
Like you don't know me
+
And you talk to me
+
Like you've never met me
+

I can leave you alone if i try

+
If I tried I could tell you goodbye
+

If I wanted to

+
I could be long gone
+
And I don't have to crawl
+

Then you call on me

+
As if I should run to you
+
You make your move
+
as if I should follow you
+

Well I don't have to be nobody's fool

+
I won't make no exception of you
+
I don't have to be nobody's fool
+
I don't make no exception of you
+

I don't have to crawl

+
I can just walk away
+
No I don't have to crawl
+

I don't have to get down on my knees

+

I don't have to crawl

+
I can just walk away
+
No I don't have to crawl
+

How High The Moon


Somewhere there's music, how faint the tune
+
Somewhere there's heaven, how high the moon
+
There is no moon above and love is far away too
+
'Till it comes true
+
That you love me and I love you
+

Somewhere there's music, how near how far

+
Somewhere there's heaven, that's where you are
+
The darkest night would shine if you would come to me soon
+
Until you will, I'll still my heart, how high the moon
+

Somewhere there's music, how faint the tune

+
Somewhere there's heaven, how high the moon
+
The darkest night would shine if you would come to me soon
+
Until you will, I'll still my heart, how high the moon
+

The darkest night would shine if you would come to me soon

+
Until you will, I'll still my heart, how high the moon

Spanish Johnny


Those other years, the dusty years
+
We drove the big hers through
+
I tried to forget the miles we rode
+
And Spanish Johnny too
+
He'd sit beside a water ditch when all this herd was in
+
And he'd never harm a child but sing to his mandolin
+

The old talk, the old ways, and the dealin' of our game

+
But Spanish Johnny never spoke, but sing a song of Spain
+
And his talk with men was vicious talk
+
When he was drunk on gin
+
Ah, but those were golden things he said to his mandolin
+

We had to stand, we tried to judge, we had to stop him then

+
For the hand so gentle to a child had killed so many men
+
He died a hard death long ago before the road come in
+
And the night before he swung he sung to his mandolin
+

Well, we carried him out in the mornin' sun

+
A man that done no good
+
And we lowered him down in the cold clay
+
Stuck in a cross of wood
+
And a letter we wrote to his kinfolk
+
To tell them where he'd been
+
And we shipped it out to Mexico, along with his mandolin
+

Bad Moon Rising


I see a bad moon rising
+
I see trouble on the way
+
I see earthquakes and lighting
+
I see bad times today
+

Now don't go 'round tonight

+
For it's bound to take your life
+
There's a bad moon on the rise
+

I hear hurricanes a blowing

+
I know the end is comin' soon
+
I fear the river's overflowing
+
I hear the voice of rage and ruin
+

I hope you have got your things together

+
Hope you are quite prepared to die
+
Looks like we're in for nasty weather
+
One eye is taken for an eye

Evangeline


She stands on the banks of the mighty Mississippi
+
Alone in the pale moonlight
+
Waitin' for a man, a riverboat gambler
+
Said that he'd return tonight
+

They used to waltz on the banks of the mighty Mississippi

+
Lovin' the whole night through
+
He was a riverboat gambler off to make a killin'
+
And bring it on back to you
+

Evangeline Evangeline

+
Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen
+
That pulled her man away
+

Bayou Sam from South Louisian'

+
Had gamblin' in his veins
+
Evangeline from the maritime
+
Was slowly goin' insane
+

High on the top of a Hickory Hill

+
She stands in the lightning and thunder
+
Down on the river the boat was a sinkin'
+
She watched that Queen go under
+

Evangeline Evangeline

+
Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen
+
That pulled her man away

Hot Burrito #2


Yes, you loved me and you sold my clothes
+
I love you, but that's the way that it goes
+
So it goes
+
Yes, you know how I feel
+
So it goes
+
It just couldn't be real
+
And we know it's wrong
+
And I don't think it's gonna go on
+
When I come home carrying my shoes
+
I've been waiting to tell you some news
+
And you want me home all night
+
And you don't want another fight
+
But you better love
+
Find some love
+
You better love me, Jesus Christ
+
Yes, you loved me and you sold all my clothes
+
I love you, baby, but that's the way that it goes
+
So it goes
+
I guess you know how I feel
+
So it goes
+
Yes, it couldn't be real
+
And you want me home all night
+
You just don't want another fight
+
But you better love
+
Find some love
+
Love me baby, Jesus Christ

Millworker


Now my grandfather was a sailor,
+
He blew in off the water
+
My father was a farmer
+
I, his only daughter,
+
Took up with a no-good millworking man from Massachusetts
+
Who dies from too much whiskey
+
And leaves me these three faces to feed
+

Millwork ain't easy; mill-work ain't hard

+
Millwork, it ain't nothing but an awful boring job
+
I'm waiting for a day dream
+
To take me through the morning
+
And put me in my coffee break
+
Where I can have a sandwich and remember
+

Then it's me and my machine

+
For the rest of the morning
+
For the rest of the afternoon
+
And the rest of my life
+

Now my mind begins to wander

+
To the days back on the farm
+
I can see my father smiling at me,
+
Swingin' on his arm
+
I can hear my grand-dad's stories
+
Of the storms out on Lake Erie
+
Where vessels and cargos and fortunes
+
And sailor's lives were lost
+

Yes, but it's my life has been wasted,

+
And I have been the fool
+
To let this manufacture use my body for a tool.
+
I can ride home in the evening,
+
Staring at my hands
+
Swearing by my sorrow that a young girl
+
Ought to stand a better chance
+

So may I work the mills

+
Just as long as I am able
+
And never meet the man whose
+
Name is on the label
+

It be me and my machine

+
For the rest of the morning
+
For the rest of the afternoon
+
And the rest of my life
+

Oh Atlanta


Well, there's a place down Kentucky
+
Said right down near Ohio
+
You can watch the planes at night
+
People line up to watch each flight
+

I said a-watchin' them planes

+
Well I wish I was on one
+
Sittin' here thinkin' 'bout my crazy dream
+
If I could only see him tonight
+

Oh Atlanta, Oh Atlanta

Whoah whoah Atlanta
+
Got to get back to you
+

You can drop me off on Peachtree

+
I got to feel that Georgia sun
+
And the people in Atlanta

Oh Atlanta, Oh Atlanta

Whoah whoah Atlanta
+
Got to get back to you
+

We'll go down, just you and me

+
Where the music plays all night
+
They've got the boogie band playin' that's bound for hell
+
When they get to movin' they never stop
+

They just keep on playin' that down home beat

+
(Keep on layin' down harmony)

Mister Sandman


Mister Sandman, bring me a dream
+
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen
+
Give him two lips like roses and clover

Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over

Sandman, I'm so alone

+
Don't have nobody to call my own
+
Please turn on your magic beam
+

+
Make him the cutest that I've ever seen
+
Give him the word that I'm not a rover
+
Then tell him that his lonesome nights are over
+

Mister Sandman, bring me a dream

+
Give him a pair of eyes with a come hither gleam
+
Give him a lonely heart like Pagliacci
+
And lots of wavy hair like Liberace
+

Mister Sandman, someone to hold

+
Would be so peachy before we're too old
+
Sp please turn on your magic beam
+
Mister Sandman, bring us

Please, please, please

Ashes By Now


This morning is Monday where are you now
+
Teasin' my memory teaching me how to lay low
+
When I don't want to
+
Well love is elusive this I know now
+
It's making me crazy leaving me out
+
In the open when I don't want to
+

The moments of pleasures Never do last

+
Are gone like a suitcase full of your past
+
Long gone and in a hurry
+

Baby, I can't go through this again

+
I don't need to go down more then I've already been
+
Just like a wild fire you're running all over town
+
As much as you burn me baby I should be ashes by now
+

The second street beggars alone in their life

+
Drunk on a sidewalk to hide from the night
+
Like I am They're just like I am
+

Baby, I can't go through this again

+
I don't need to go down more then I've already been
+
Just like a wild fire you're running all over town
+
As much as you burn me baby I should be ashes by now
+

Just like a wild fire You're running all over town

+
As much as you burn me, baby I should be ashes by now
+
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah I should be ashes by now
