Burned out bums living out on the street
Sticky web of the spiders they weave
Preying on those who are poor and weak
Then kill their voices so they can't speak
Build a plan that is all too grand
And watch it fall apart at the seems
Blame the ones for doing something wrong
When it's necessary to meet their needs
But the game ain't played with dice so baby you better cheat
If you need a hand then there's a program
Just don't ask for more from me
We're all making a sacrifice
It just seems like more from your means
But look my friend and you'll see at the end
That you were playing against only thieves
But the game ain't played with dice so baby you better cheat
I said the game ain't played with dice so baby you better cheat

On The Company Line

Well I been working on the road and working on rivers
Old man Timbers is giving me the shivers
And I ain't seen nothing but bad luck yet
I'm picking up the pieces of my broken life
Trying to run away from all this strife
Got to find some way to get out of here
I been working so hard and I'm getting mad
My bones are aching and it's all I have
To not go and drink the day away
Well I can't pay attention
Cause I don't have a dime
The way they pay me
You'd think it was a crime
I'd love to stay here
But I can't afford the time
Can't afford the time
This is life, on the company line
Well things ain't too bad but they sure ain't good
I'm an honest man and I know I should
Hold down this steady job
So I'll keep on working up this here road
Going until my back is broke
And I'm working all the damn day long
So I keep on working all day and all night
Trying to get this life straightened out
And just trying not to rob a bank
Well I can't pay attention cause I don't have a dime
The way they pay me you'd think it was a crime
I'd love to stay here but I can't afford the time
Can't afford the time
This is life, on the company line
Sun up and sun down I here the call
Of the working man's song one and all
And I'm a hoping and a praying that I can catch a break
Cause I been working on the road and working on rivers
Old man Timbers is giving me the shivers
And I'm shook but I know I ain't sank
And I'm shook but I know I ain't sank
And I'm shook but I know I ain't sank
And I'm shook but I know I ain't sank
And I'm shook but I know I ain't sank
And I'm shook but I know I ain't sank
Well I can't pay attention cause I don't have a dime
The way they pay me you'd think it was a crime
I'd love to stay here but I can't afford the time
Can't afford the time
This is life, on the company line

Down Home Girl

Keep it moving mama
Keep it moving tonight
There ain’t nothing better in the whole wide world
Then my pretty little blue eyed down home girl
Move it down the line
It’s time you read the signs
I ain’t another good time guy
So you better give up and quit
Go and be some other side chick
I don’t want your whiskey baby
I don’t need your dollar bills
There ain’t nothing better in the whole wide world
Than my pretty little blue eyed down home girl
Move it down the line
It’s time you read the signs
I ain’t another good time guy
So you better give up and quit
Go and be some other side chick
Keep it moving mama
Keep it moving tonight
There ain’t nothing better in the whole wide world
Than my pretty little blue eyed down home girl
I don’t want your whiskey baby
I don’t need your dollar bills
There ain’t nothing better in the whole wide world
Than my pretty little blue eyed
Pretty little blued eyed
Pretty little blued eyed
Down home girl
She’s my pretty little down home girl
She’s my pretty little down home girl
Greatest love I’ve ever know
She’s my pretty little down home girl
Greatest love I’ve ever know
She’s my pretty little down home girl

Sarah's smile's something special
In fact it's meant so much to him
He built a life Warded off all his strife
And turned away from this life of sin
Sarah's smile will protect you
It gives you shelter from the storm
She'll keep you safe
When the world means you harm
And keep the hurt outside the door
And in the end
Do it all again
And in the end
Do it all again
Do it all again
She turned a boy into a man
Took and led him by the hand
She said your good
Now let's see what you could
Do if you just had the chance
The power of love can conquer all
Raise you up and make you tall
Now he's up there on the stage giving it his all
All because of Sarah's smile
And in the end
Do it all again
And in the end
Do it all again
Do it all again
Sara's smile's something special
In fact it's meant so much to him

When your knocked down
When your knocked down
When your knocked down
Pick yourself off the floor
When your knocked down
When your knocked down
When your knocked down
Pick yourself off the floor
Life's not always kind
In fact there will be times
When it seems like trouble
But just look all around
At the love that is abound
To help you when you stumble
Don't let life pass you by before too long
Cause one day we all die so goes the song
So just feel all the love that's around you
When your knocked down
When your knocked down
When your knocked down
Pick yourself off the floor
When your knocked down
When your knocked down
When your knocked down
Pick yourself off the floor
If your swimming in an endless sea
Waves crashing down and you can't
See
Reach out for a hand
Cause where you need a friend
I'll always be
Don't let life pass you by before too long
Cause one day we all die so goes the song
So just feel all the love that's around you
When your Knocked Down

She Calls To Me
06:21
|

The world is spinning faster today
Like she has something to say
She's telling me it's for a change
The top on down were going up in flames
And how she calls to me in a calm cool voice
She's calls to me we don't have a choice
She calls to me it's time to listen to the noise
Oh oh got to save my soul
Oh oh I'm headed down to the grave
Oh oh got to save my soul
Oh oh I'm headed down to the grave
Flying through the cosmos on this crazy train
Is this just an illusion going on my brain
Some kind of twisted up old fairy tale
oh Lordy no this is all too real
And how she calls to me in a calm cool voice
She's calls to me we don't have a choice
She calls to me it's time to listen to the noise
Oh oh got to save my soul
Oh oh I'm headed down to the grave
Oh oh got to save my soul
Oh oh I'm headed down to the grave
She calls to me
She calls to me
She calls to me
She calls

Winter Solstice Blues

Dreaming of sunny California
Where the sky is so blue
Dreaming of sunny California
Cause I got the winter solstice blues
I want to be where the air is warm
All the pretty girls pass by in a storm
The sun beats down on the day
Melts all your troubles away
Dreaming of sunny California
Where the sky is so blue
Dreaming of sunny California
Cause I got the winter solstice blues
The day grows shorter every night
As my skin slowly turns to white
Ain't seen the sun for weeks and weeks now
Feel the cold crushing in on me now
Dreaming of sunny California
Where the sky is so blue
Dreaming of sunny California
Cause I got the winter solstice blues
Dreaming of sunny California
Dreaming of sunny days of blue
Dreaming of sunny California
Cause I got the winter solstice blues
The winter solstice blues
The winter solstice blues
The winter solstice blues

Hallelu

I keep moving faster
Headed for disaster
When your on my mind
I can’t wait much longer
Its getting stronger
All the time
Hallelu, Hallelujah
Hallelu, Hallelujah
Smoke rises from the ashes
The flame rise and crashes
A familiar sight
That feeling takes me to the ceiling
I’m hooked and reeling
Like any other night
Hallelu, Hallelujah
Hallelu, Hallelujah
Hallelu, Hallelujah
Hallelu, Hallelujah
Oh how I cried for that ride
Just one more time
Then I’ll be alright
With one pin prick
I'm thick as a brick
High as a kite
Hallelu, Hallelujah
Hallelu, Hallelujah
Hallelu, Hallelujah
Hallelu, Hallelujah

Your Last Day
03:43
|

|
The day comes for everyone of us on earth
It's been waiting for you since birth
Nobody knows the day or time when they are called
But when your clock is up and time has struck are you ready? Did you waste it all?
Let it go
Don't look back
I'm telling you
It's a gas
I'm not waiting
For judgment day
You got to live your life
Like it might be
Your last day
Death don't have no mercy in this land
He'll lead you down to the depths with his red right hand
There's no escape once you fade into the black
So take a breath, sit on back, and just relax
Let it go
Don't look back
I'm telling you
It's a gas
I'm not waiting
For judgment day
You got to live your life
Like it might be
Your last day
Death don't have no
Death don't have no
Ooh no mercy in this land
Oh death don't
Have no mercy in this land
Oh death don't
Have no mercy in this land
Oh death don't
Have no mercy in this land
Oh death don't
Have no mercy in this land
