I've got the desert in my eyes and the western skies on my mind
Everywhere I look I see wide open country for miles
Out in the distance there's a mountain the size of the sun
Looks like I ain't driving nowhere, I feel like a man on the run
Get Goin'
Get Gone Adobe and teardrops are all I'm leaving behind
I'm somewhere in Texas, I'm lost and I don't see the signs
In a bar in New Mexico and old man sells me a gun
But I ain't shooting no one, I feel like a man on the run
Thats right
I feel like a man on the run, oh-oh-oh
solo
Oh-oh-oh Try to catch me
Oh-oh-oh I've just gotta be free, free, free
Oh-oh-oh Try to catch me
Whoa
From San Bernadino I can see the lights of L.A.
The closer they get the further they're slipping away
I can almost feel the redemption forgivness becomes
I don't forgive anyone, I feel like a man on the run
Thats Right
I feel like a man on the run
I feel like a man on the run
And I won't forgive anyone
And I don't forgive anyone
And I can't forgive anyone
And I won't forgive you, thats true

There was a girl uptown she kept her lights down low
She kept her breasts taped down so they did not show
She had a daytime job, she had a daytime name
But her nightlife baby was a different game
Never the kind to wear a thrift store dress
She did it better in a suit and vest
She looked like a woman but dressed like a man
While I was checking her out, I saw she had no purse
And though I had my doubts I knew I had done worse
She had a daytime job, she had a daytime name
But her nightlife baby was a different game
We kept drinking til we both got drunk
And then I started saying what I really thunk
She looked like a woman but dressed like a man
She had muscles and a crewcut, she had shoes like mine
She had a way with a pool cue, she had a pick-up line
I guess we closed the joint and then she took me home
And tried to make her point with a doggy bone
I knew that running was the thing to do
But stayed and finished til I saw it through
She looked like a woman but dressed like a man

Here I sit in prison, guilty of a crime
Yes it's true I killed a man, but it was justified
Yes, he was a friend of mine, he came into my home
Made off with my woman, and left me here alone
Yipee-I-Yay, Yipee-I-Yo
Damn these iron bars are cold
Yipee-I-Yay, Yipee-I-Yo
Here in prison, I grow old
Here I sit in prison, she often visits me
Tells me that she's sorry, and she wishes I were free
Says she never loved him, only wished she'd stayed
I wish she would stop talkin', I wish she'd go away
Yipee-I-Yay, Yipee-I-Yo
Damn these iron bars are cold
Yipee-I-Yay, Yipee-I-Yo
Here in prison, I grow old
Here I sit in prison, I don't give a damn
I'd shoot the bastard over, if they gave me half a chance
I only wish the for one thing, I only wish instead
That I had kept on shootin' until both of them were dead
Yipee-I-Yay, Yipee-I-Yo
Damn these iron bars are cold
Yipee-I-Yay, Yipee-I-Yo
Here in prison I grow old

I don't know who you are or where you're going to
All I know is that I like the things that I see in you
You got what it takes to make a happy man out of me
Can't you see?
Can't you see?
Come on over, 'cause it's over
Now that I know who you are and you know we've traveled far
All the places we have been all the sights we've seen
Now it's time for us to part
So I'll be going on my way

Tina says don't talk to me like I am deaf and dumb
We've broken down and broken up so much that I am numb
Talk about don't shout about the people we've become
There's a little girl who's crying over here
Michael Says don't shout at me like I was born a fool
You speak of love and scream of love now dare to treat me cruel
Nothings fair in love and war so please lets make some rules
There's a little boy who's crying over here.
Did you ever know me?
I swear that I had tried
Did you ever need me?
I feel like I just died
Did you ever want me?
I swear that I have tried
How do you tell someone you don't love them?
How do you tell someone you don't care anymore?
How do you tell someone you don't love them anymore?
Tina says the pictures that we took are put away
Inside a box of memories for cold and rainy days
Poems in pencil rhyming with the things you'd never say
There's a little girl who's crying over here
Michael's old engagement picture's in a wooden box
His wooden heart is tough as nails and solid as a rock
Keeps himself protected with a combination lock
There's a little boy who's crying over here
Did you ever know me?
I swear that I had tried
Did you ever need me?
I feel like I just died
Did you ever want me?
I swear that I have tried
How do you tell someone you don't love them?
How do you tell someone you don't care anymore?
How do you tell someone you don't love them anymore?
Fighting makes me tired
In my eyes
Crying makes me tired
There's a spy
Hurting makes me tired
Hold me tight
Lying makes me tired
Tina says I wish that I had never seen your smile
Your name is written on my soul in alphabetic file
All I've got's my dignity, so I will leave in style
There's a million of us crying over here
Did you ever know me?
I swear that I had tried
Did you ever need me?
I feel like I just died
Did you ever want me?
I swear, I swear
How do you tell someone you don't love them?
How do you tell someone you don't care anymore?
How do you tell someone you don't love them anymore?
How do you tell someone you don't love them?
How do you tell someone you don't care anymore?
How do you tell someone you don't love them anymore?
Anymore, Anymore, Anymore, Anymore
Any time I talk to you there's no one listening
Everytime I reach for there's no one there and
Everywhere I look for you, you're no where to be found
(top)
When I woke up I heard a voice
And I froze in my bed
When I woke up I was divorced
How did you get back into my head
No no no no, it was the radio
You're gone and I don't even think of you my little blue one
I was sleeping and had a dream
I was writing to you
It was creepy my dreamy dream
You read my letter remembered I loved you
No no no no, you don't love me anymore
You're gone and I don't even think of you my little blue one
I don't even think of you reading your paper each morning
I don't even think of you sipping your coffee and yawning
I don't even think of your hands pulling hair back from off your pretty face
I don't even think of you walking away
As I'm walking around this empty place
I remember and try to forget
With a bottle of wine
I remember and try to forget
That the ring you're not wearing is mine
No no no no, you don't wear it anymore
You're gone and I don't even think of you my little blue one

Once upon a long ago she saw his golden face
She'd cover his eyes and cover his mouth
And teach that man his place
She sees him, she knows that he'll wallow in disgrace
Everyone is Waiting
Once upon a memory he saw his second chance
He'd show her how to kill his soul
Through crucified romance
He sees her, he knows that he'll writhe inside her pants
Everyone is Waiting
Slam your door and burn my bed
And forget every word or deed
I never did or said
I want to be alone
I want to be alone
Solo
Miles and miles from anywhere
Between the next betwixed
They found themselves inside a hell
They broke but would not fix
They see it, they know that they'll never make it stick
Everyone is Waiting

I never wanted to be king or lord or prince of my own land
I only wanted to be sure my heart was always in your eyes
I'm standing naked everytime I try to say that way I feel
And if you run away you may be running more or less forever
Together we could make it better
I never thought the day could start without you laying by my side
I only wanted to be sure your face always near a smile
But now there's trouble 'cause a restlessness has moved into you mind
If you won't stay with me today tommorow won't get any better
Together we could make it better
I never thought that you could leave me while I held onto your hand
I only wanted to be sure that you would take me as I am
But now there's trouble 'cause a restlessness has moved into your eyes
So if you run away you could be running more or less forever
Together we could make it better

The circle is round, I'll follow the stars
No matter how close, no matter how far
Now that I know what makes you sing
I found an angel with a broken wing
I've sacrificed love, for showering hail
Pretty pink dresses have been torn into veils
Now I know what makes you sing
I found an angel with a broken wing
I found an angel with a broken wing
I found an angel with a broken wing
Angel, don't fly away
Angel, you're here to stay
Angel, it's meant to be,
Angel, I'll set you free--Oh!
Towering walls with roses on high
Eternal flames will glow in our eyes
Now that I know what makes you sing
Since I found an angel with a broken wing
I found an angel with a broken wing
I found an angel with a broken wing
I found an angel with a broken wing
I found an angel with a broken wing
I found an angel with a broken wing

Hitchhiker hike home to your wife and your family
Home to the loved ones you left far away
Hitchhiker hike home to your wife and your family
Lonely hitchhiker hike home

For a job in the new promised land

So save every dollar you can

Hitchhiker hike home to your wife and your family
Lonely hitchhiker hike home

As he waits for a letter to brighten his day
And sends his reply that the postman delivers
"Hey kids did you grow much today?"

Hitchhiker hike home to your wife and your family
Lonely hitchhiker hike home
I gave him a lift to the interstate junction

Timmy sits out on the boardwalk
Writing in his book of poems
A young girl walks up behind him
Looking slightly tired and worn
She reminds him of another
That he use to call his wife
She tries hard to be his lover
So he'll write about her life
So he reads his book of stories
Someone is listening tonight
Written in the blood and glories
Of battles that he fights
Timmy's standing at the alter
With his girlfriend by his side
bullets wait for him in the desert
As he takes her for his bride
So he went into the army
With a gun he could not shoot
With her picture and his papers
Safely tucked inside his boots
So he reads his book of stories
Someone is listening tonight
Written in the blood and glories
Of battles that he fights
Timmy sits inside a bar room
Buying someone else a scotch
Half asleep she sits there listening
Staring blankly at his crotch
So he reads his book of stories
Someone is listening tonight
Written in the blood and glories
Of battles that he fights

Hey bartender pour me another one
'Cause I don't think that I've had enough
Make it a bourbon make it a double one
You can see that I'm still standing up
Whiskey and women well they fool me every time
Into thinking I'm the hero I have pictured in my mind
So tell me a secret to get me through the night
Or let's turn up the jukebox and tell me a lie
Where am I this evening? No I don't mean what bar
I mean what city? and in what state am I?
Honey, are you leaving? And do you have a car?
And could you take me along for the ride?
A woman like you well, you could enter my life
And let me be the lover I have pictured in my mind
So tell me a secret to get me through the night
Or let's turn up the jukebox and tell me a lie
Here's a quarter why don't I play us a song
B 33 I believe it's George Jones
I believe it's a slow one in 3/4 time
So let's turn up the jukebox and tell me a lie
Hey bartender did she say where she was going?
Well I must have dozed off for awhile
Are these my cigarettes? And how much do I owe?
I guess I'll see you again tommorow night
Do you think she'd mind it if I called her up sometime?
I might be the reason she's been searching her whole life
So tell me a secret to get me through the night
Or let's turn up the jukebox and tell me a lie

Well I had a drink with a friend of mine a week ago today
We were celebrating a month and a half too late St. Paddy's Day
Well I bought him a round and he bought me a round
And the bouncer bought us anudder
What's an irish boy from a good family doing in the gutter?
Well we looked at each other and ahd to laugh as we lay there in our stink
Well I woulda cried if I woulda thought but every time I thought I'd drink
And if his poor old gray-haired ma'd seen us there she woulda shuddered
What's an irish boy from a good family doing in the gutter?
Well my irish friend he liked to surf but me I couldn't swim
Well he said that he could teach me how and I said I trusted him
He swore he'd never let me drown
He loved me like a brudder
What's an irish boy from a good family doing in the gutter?
Well sure enought I drowned and I wound up at the pearly gates
Where St. Peter said, "You're drunk as hell and son you shoulda ate"
So he sent me back down to get a bite to eat but instead I bought anudder
What's an irish boy from a good family doing in the gutter?
