Shipwrecked In The 80ies Well you fight like the devil to Just keep your head above water Chained to whatever you got That you can’t throw away And you‘re shooting through space On that river of life that you‘re riding And it‘s swirling and sucking you Deeper on down everyday So you turn to your trusty old partner To share some old feelings And you find to your shock that Your faithful companion is gone And the truth slowly dawns that You‘re lost and alone in deep water And you don’t even know How much longer there is to go on Like an old Holy Bible you‘ve clung to For so many seasons With the rules of survival in words You could still understand

When they proved something wrong You believed in so long you go crazy And you‘re so close to folding the cards That you hold in your hand Singing, holy Toledo I can’t see the light anymore All those horizons that I used to guide me are gone And the darkness is driving me Farther away from the shore Throw me a rhyme or A reason to try to go on

Here Comes That Rainbow Again The scene was a small roadside cafe The waitress was sweepin' the floor Two truck-drivers drinkin' their coffee And two okie-kids by the door How much are them candies, they asked her How much have you got, she replied We've only a penny between us Them's two for a penny, she lied And the daylight grew heavy with thunder with the smell of the rain on the wind Ain't it just like a human Here comes that rainbow again One truckdriver called to the waitress After the kids went outside

Them candies ain't two for a penny So what's it to you, she replied In silence they finished their coffee Got up and nodded godbye She called, hey, you left too much money So what's it to you, they replied You could still understand When they proved something wrong You believed in so long you go crazy And you‘re so close to folding the cards That you hold in your hand Singing, holy Toledo I can’t see the light anymore All those horizons that I used to guide me are gone And the darkness is driving me Farther away from the shore Throw me a rhyme or A reason to try to go on

Michoacan Woke up this morning the border was burning my mind Things that I seen that I couldn't be leaving behind me Down in this hole in the ground there ain't nothing to see But down in Michoacan paradise waits for me North of the border the bodies Are bought and they're sold boy Me and a brother was caught turning green into gold I'm gonna pay for my crime till the day that I'm free But down in Michoacan Paradise waits for me A rusty car rode across

the border I was inside I had two dogs my red guitar and my teenage bride We took a look at a shot in the dark and we found a home Where the flowers bloom in Michoacan A rusty car rode across the border I was inside I had two dogs my red guitar and my teenage bride I´m gonna clean up my act and go back To where I belong Where the flowers bloom in Michoacan

El Coyote They call him a bandit, And you know the notches That he ought to wear on his gun He sees you through eyes that he's partially blinded By staring too long at the sun But he's true to his school And he's nobody's fool And he's lucky to still be alive The wolf pack will die when it's scattered by man Lonesome coyotes survive He buried his feelings, And life was a mountain That he was determined to climb Then he caught the scent of a sister in spirit

Who taught him to love her in time Somehow or other She gathered together The cubs that he sired on the way And they run by his side Through the chill, hungry night And they sleep to his sweet serenade There's a part of his heart up in heaven And a part that will always be wild And all he can leave them is love and a reason To run for the rest of their lives Lonesome coyotes survive

Please Don't Tell Me How The Story Ends This maybe our last good night together We may never pass this way again. Just let me enjoy it 'till it's over, or forever Please don't tell me how the story ends. See the way our shadows come together Softer than your fingers on my skin Someday these may be all we remember of each other Please don't tell me how the story ends. Never's just the echo of forever Lonesome as a love that might have been. Let me go on lovin' and believin' 'till it's overPlease don't tell me how the story ends.

It’s Never Gonna Be the Same Again All we ever owed each other For the time we spent together Was the right to know it’s over when it’s gone What it wasn’t doesn’t matter And it still don’t feel no better Just to know who done who righteously or wrong Lord, I wish that I could say I could see a single way That we could take it back to where it used to be Before the daylight broke to pieces Everything I used to make believe

And it’s never gonna be the same again I’m sorry we can’t even still be friends But trusting you has left some wounds That time ain’t gonna mend And it’s never gonna be the same again It’s a shame to know it’s over and that you’re nothing But another pretty thing that I won’t do before I die But the saddest part of all is never knowing If you’ll ever even wonder why And it’s never gonna be the same again I’m sorry we can’t even still be friends But trusting you has left some wounds That time ain’t gonna mend And it’s never gonna be the same again

Between Heaven And Here You got your reasons to choose not to ever believe me (believe me) Maybe life done you so dirty you'll never be free Look what you're doing to someone who surreally loves you Is that the lonesome old way you wanted to be (I didn't think so) Partner I know we could be soul to soul if we want to Lord ain't it worth it there's so little lovin' today Wastin' our feelings on somethin' when so little matters Think of the time and the chances we're throwing away We can do better than this we can go for the glory I hope to God we can handle the worst of our fears

Then if you will if you're up to the thrill of a lifetime Maybe we'll tear down the walls between heaven and here Maybe the secret is making believe when it matters Maybe just keeping it simple and close to the heart Love is so easy to make and so easy to shatter We can be stronger together or tear it apart We can do better than this we can go for the glory I hope to God we can handle the worst of our fears Then if you will if you're up to the thrill of a lifetime Maybe we'll tear down the walls between heaven and here Maybe we'll tear down the walls between heaven and here

Late Again Woke up late again this mornin' Cause I was late again last night In the mood that I was born in And my skin was feelin' tight I took a short cut to the city Had myself a drink or two I've got over feeling shaky But I'm still not over you God I might as well forget you You ain't never coming to Seems like ever since I met you I've been a gettin' over you I don't crave no conversation I don't need no sympathy All I want is my old lady That old lady wantin' me So take me anyway if you want me

I'll take you anyway I can I don't want your sack of candy Just some sweetness now and then I got to get myself together With someone who wants some too Maybe I can learn to love her While I'm a gettin' over you

Under The Gun Break a man, break a promise Break a heart, break a home Take a long hard look at a heaven Gone to hell under the gun See the child, young and hungry Growing wild, on the run And he'll die reaching for freedom He was born under the gun Swollen men, blind with power Break the rules, one by one With their lies raising the danger Of their games under the gun. No more time, no more chances No more wars will be won In the end only the losers Hold the land under the gun

Hold the truth like a candle Let it shine like the sun On the love that's left to believe in In a world under the gun.

From The Bottle To The Bottom You ask me if I’m happy now That’s good as any joke I’ve heard It seems that since I’ve seen you last I done forgot the meaning of the word If happiness is empty rooms And drinkin’ in the afternoon Well I suppose I’m happy as a clam But if it’s got a thing to do With smilin’ or forgettin’ you Well I don’t guess that I could say I am Did you ever see a down and outer waking up alone Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew When the water from the weeds has soaked the paper He’s been puttin’ in his shoes to keep the ground from comin’ through And his future feels as empty as the pocket in his pants Because he’s never seen a single dream come true That’s the way that I’ve been feelin’ since the day I started falling From the bottle to the bottom stool by stool Learnin’ hard to live with losin’ you

You wonder if I’m better off With freedom now to do the things I choose With all my times my own and I got nothin’ left but sleepin’ time to lose There’s no one here to carry on If I stay out the whole night long Or give a tinker's damn if I don’t call I’m livin’ like I wanted to And doin’ things I wanna do And nothin’ means a thing to me at all Did you ever see a down and outer waking up alone Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew When the water from the weeds soaked the paper He’s been puttin’ in his shoes to keep the ground from comin’ through And his future feels as empty as the pocket in his pants Because he’s never seen a single dream come true That’s the way that I’ve been feelin’ since the day I started falling From the bottle to the bottom stool by stool Learnin’ hard to live with losin’ you

Best Of All Possible Worlds I was runnin' through the summer rain Tryin' to catch the evenin' train And kill that old familiar pain Weavin' through my tangled brain When I tipped my bottle back I smacked into a cop I didn't see That policeman said, "Mr. Cool If you ain't drunk then you're a fool" I said, "If that's against the law Tell me why I never saw A man locked in that jail of yours Who wasn't either black or poor as me. Well that was when someone turned out the lights And I wound up in jail to spend the nights And dream of all the wine and lonely girls In this best of all possible worlds Well I woke up next morning Feelin' like my head was gone And like my thick old tongue Was lickin' somethin' sick and wrong And I told that man I'd sell my soul If somethin' wet and cold is that old cell That kindly jailer grinned at me All eaten up with sympathy Then bought himself another beer

And came and whispered in my ear "That booze was just a dime a bottle boy You couldn't even buy the smell" I said, "I knew there was somethin' I liked about this town But it takes more than that To bring me down, down, down Cause there's still a lot of wine and lonely girls In this best of all possible worlds" Well they finally came and told me They was a gonna set me free And I'd be leavin' town if I knew what was good for me I said, "It's nice to learn That everybody's so concerned about my health" I said, "I won't be leavin' No more quicker than I can 'Cause I've enjoyed about this Much of this as I can stand And I don't need this town of yours more Than I've never needed nothing else"

A Moment Of Forever Was it wonderful for you Was it holy as it was for me Did you feel the hand of destiny That was guiding us together You were young enough to dream I was old enough To learn something new I'm so glad I got to Dance with you For a moment of forever Sometimes when you're cryin', You're happy Sometimes you're just cryin' I know, I know Come whatever happens now Ain't it nice to know that Dreams still come true I'm so glad that I was Close to you For a moment of forever

I Hate Your Ugly Face You've heard a lot of singers Moaning of the love they lost But they're always true to their long lost dear, No matter what the cost I want you to hear I ain't crying in my beer This is how it goes with me The happiest day of my unhappy life Was when you set me free I hate your ugly face I see it every place It follows me wherever I try to go Your skin is tanned like leather It looks just like a hefer's Oh, I hate you dear and I think you ought to know

Now most heart-broken singers Wish their sweethearts happiness I just hope you're miserable, You sorry looking mess I want you to hear I ain't crying in my beer This is how it goes with me The happiest day of my unhappy life Was when you set me free

Loving Her Was Easier I have seen the morning burning golden on the mountains in the skies Achin' with the feelin' of the freedom of an eagle when she flies Turnin' on the world the way she smiled upon my soul as I lay dying Healin' as the colours in the sunlight and the shadows of her eyes Wakin' in the mornin' to the feelin' of her fingers on my skin Wipin' out the traces of the people and the places that I've been Teachin' me that yesterday was something that I never thought of trying Talkin' of tomorrow and the money, love and time we had to spend Lovin' her was easier than anything I'll ever do again Comin' close together with a feelin' that I've never known before, in my time She ain't ashamed to be a woman, or afraid to be a friend I don't know the answer to the easy way she opened every door in my mind But dreamin' was as easy as believin' it was never gonna end And lovin' her was easier than anything I'll ever do again

Prove It To You One More Time Again Nobody blamin' you don't get me wrong I know so many things you done for me But you got your life that you gotta live And I'll get along I just wonder who you wanted me to be And I can't believe that you still don't believe in me Or hold a clue to who I am I just hope to God That I still got the heart to take it And prove it to you one more time again So many lies were told so many times Maybe it's too late to make it love again If we got a choice then we got a chance then we gotta try And do the story true right to the end And I don't believe you don't believe in me And you still don't understand I just hope to God I still got the heart to take it Prove it to you one more time again Hold the truth like a candle Let it shine like the sun On the love that's left to believe in In a world under the gun.
