1. GOOD MORNING CAPTAIN

Well there's a ruckus on the levee
Unruly crowd on the courthouse steps
And if I make it till Sunday
I'm gonna ask the good Lord for help
With a mouth full of salt I try to explain
If money was sand I couldn't hold one grain
I feel like a thief that knows he's been framed
For leaving the watch but stealing the chain

Good morning, captain
I wish there was another way
But my baby is wanting
Me to roll around in her bed all day

Well the late nights got me reeling
Spilling out the bottle right into the next day
Got a funny little feeling gonna be like this until my dying day
There's mud in my eye but I can still see
Everybody in town is trying to murder me
If they don't get me suppose the hangman will
I better think twice about making this deal

Good morning, captain
I wish there was another way
But my baby is wanting
Me to roll around in her bed all day

Magnolia, magnolia
Let me rest under the shade of your leaves

Good morning, captain
I wish there was another way
But my baby is wanting
Me to roll around in her bed all day


2. BEEN A LONG TIME (WAITING ON LOVE)

Earthbound wingless dream child born to necessity
Tied to crimson velvet wings, she flies
New moon midnight star, medicine is in the jar
Head full of going far, she flies
Lost out on the dream road
Looking for a keyhole
Never try to fight it, feeling right inside it

Low country blushing bride blind to the ways of time
Clear crystal burning mind, she flies
Falling through liquid air with music everywhere
Stone faces silent stare, she flies
The old guard on the hill can feel the chill
Deep into the freeze of those who don't believe

Been a long time, waiting on love
Been a long time, waiting on love
Been a long time, waiting on love
Been a long time, waiting on love

Damp with this morning dew the world is bright and new
Her word is always true, she flies
Step into the new day right over the old way
We are the horizon see our future smiling

Been a long time, waiting on love
Been a long time, waiting on love
Been a long time, waiting on love
Been a long time, waiting on love

Lost out on the dream road
Looking for a keyhole
Never try to fight it, feeling right inside it



Been a long time, waiting on love
Been a long time, waiting on love
Been a long time, waiting on love
Been a long time, waiting on love


3. APPALOOSA

Be struck by the arrow of weakness
On the gilded path to forgiveness
Find my way home when the morning comes
To stay your friend when it's all said and done

Simple as lightning starting wild fire
Just down from a trip off my high wire
Just coming home to walk my own floors
Just coming home to the one I adore

Appaloosa
Appaloosa
Appaloosa
Take me home
Where I can dream my days away

You took your tears back to the river
Knowing all the while there'd be more later
So it goes in a rainy day town
Come on and won'cha let me lay you down

Sometimes the sun makes beggars believers
And sometimes a shrine is built to deceive her
In between let oblivion ring
Whoa let me hear all you sad angels sing

Appaloosa
Appaloosa
Appaloosa
Take me home
Where I can dream my days away

Appaloosa
Appaloosa
Appaloosa
Take me home
Where I can dream my days away


4. A TRAIN STILL MAKES A LONELY SOUND

As I listen to the wheels
Hear them going round and round
It reminds me of a train
That still makes a lonely sound
It reminds me of a girl
That came from Knoxville town
? and now on that April day
When she took this old boy down

Oh, Tennesee you got me running
But I'm not coming back this time
Way out west is where I'm going
To forget the one I left behind

Well I might have seen Moses
Standing on the Penn state line
Just another wanderer
With an angel on his mind
I know love it has its reason
Way it comes and it goes
There's no mystery in season
Or of this heart cold grows

Oh, Tennesee
Oh, Tennesee
Oh, Tennesee


5. IT AIN’T HIDING

Rust on my pickups
And blood on the stage
Seeds in the ashtray
And coke on the blade
NYC delivers that’s a guarantee
The only thing that keep the day from me

Line at the bathroom
Line at the bar
Take it outside and do the rest in the car
Our candy baby's in a bright light fright
Rock and roll rat race everybody’s up tight
That’s right

Ain’t your saint ain’t your enemy
I’m a long shadow on the highway
I know this ain’t how it's supposed to be
Baby I ain’t hiding

Stayed on the dance floor cause you can't find the door
Can't run out cause there is always more
Keep on rocking cause it's not even four
Turn up the bass until your ears get sore


6. KEPT MY SOUL

Sad and sorry
Troubled and tired
Wild with worry
Mad with desire

Junky jitters, bed bug critters
Now who would die for love
Midnight favor, sweet sick flavor
Now who would die for love?

You can see by the look in my eyes
That the devil takes his own
See by these holes in my heart
That I still kept my soul
Well you can take it, go on and take it

Sick and waiting
Down and blue
Cold and kicking
What to do

Creepy crawling, non-stop jawing
Now who would die for love
Look who's holding, sister rolling
Now who would die for love

You can see by the look in my eyes
That the devil takes his own
Tell by these holes in my heart
That I still kept my soul
Go on and take it, go on and take it

I ain't bitching' but I been itching
Now who would die for love
No use praying if it ain't worth saving
Now who would die for love

You can see by the look in my eyes
That the devil takes his own
You can see through these holes in my heart
That I still kept my soul

Well, you can see by the look in my eyes
That the devil takes his own
You see right through these holes in my heart
That I still kept my soul
You can take it, go on and take it


7. WHAT IS HOME

As I stare into the frozen starlight
My hands burn with the scars of past lives
I see past all the falling chimneys

Home for me
What is home for me

As I charge into the foothills of your life
Stand under fading sunlight
Hope it will return next morning

Home for me
What is home for me
I can't wait to find
A home for me

Silence gauge me into my soul
I approach you this morning
Which one will you be
You're far too important to me

As I stare into the frozen starlight
My hands burn with the scars of past lives
I see past all the falling chimneys

Home for me
What is home for me
I cannot wait to find
A home for me
Home for me


8. HOUSTON DON’T DREAM ABAUT ME

Another week in the drivers seat
With your feet up on the dashboard
Rain it kept a steady beat
As I watch you dream of Houston
How you're never going back
Yes sir that’s a fact
As you wave your cowboy hat
And sang the Yellow Rose of Texas
Just trying to make high ground
Has kept us on the run
There's no crime in toeing the line
Because vultures are flying on us baby
And we're gonna walk in the sun

I might dream about Houston
But Houston don't dream about me
If I can keep it between the lines
Who knows what will be

The motel light
Day old coffee dollar post cards
State troopers flashing lights
As we listen to the thunder
As we talk about our past
So we see our coming future
You tell me you know love can last

While staring out the window
Just looking for
A place to hide
A place to ease our minds
A place away from yesterday
Close to tomorrow
Away from the sorrows
Of living other people's time

I might dream about Houston
But Houston don't dream about me
If I can keep it between the lines
Who knows what will be

How long how long
Till we feel a change
How long how long
Will the skies be gray
How long how long
Will it be this way
How long how long
Will she stay


9. MAKE GLAD

Ballad and Dagger, Amazing Grace
Sons of rock bottom take your rightful place
Glad tooth and top hat with an ace up your sleeve
Show me your pistol so I can believe

Make Glad
Find the beauty in the broken
Make Glad
May your heart always be open
Make Glad
Keep an eye out for your brother
Make Glad
And I will see you in the other

Turpentine babies with one foot in the south
Turned out the turnkey for running his mouth
"Jump", said the sheriff, "get up out of that hole”
“Get in line and do what you're told"

Make Glad
Find the beauty in the broken
Make Glad
May your heart always be open
Make Glad
Keep an eye out for your brother
Make Glad
And I will see you in the other


10. AND THE BAND PLAYED ON

Did you hear Gabriel blow his horn
It's what sent those black birds on their way
Into this house we born to be

Like an arrow shot over the mountain
Like a bottle tossed in the sea
I have journeyed, I have traveled
Now home calls me

Let's all gather round the grand piano
Let's all raise our glasses in the air
Give a cheer to the jolly good fellow
and everyone whose kin

Who will mend this wagon wheel
To put this show on the road
The music sounds just like it feels

And the band played on
Through the storm
Through the wicked, wicked rain

And the band played on
in golden harmony

What straw will break this camel's back
Will we grow to love the lord
Cant wait to that time

Lets all gather round the grand piano
Let's all raise our glasses in the air
Give a cheer to the jolly good fellow
and everyone whose kin
Well everyone whose kin
Oh everyone whose kin


11. THE LAST PLACE THAT LOVE LIES

Up high in a mansion
On a mountain of jagged rock
Behind two iron doors
So heavy they need no lock

Is the last place that love lives
Where the sad woman cries
Is the last place that love lives
Behind your eyes

You hold up your finger
And you place it to my lips
And you tell me that anger
Can never get rid of this

Is the last place that love lives
Where the sad woman cries
Is the last place that love lives
Behind your eyes

Never blind to misfortune
Never deaf to the sorrowful moan
Set adrift on an ocean
Until I find that peaceful shore

Is the last place that love lives
Where the sad woman cries
Is the last place that love lives
Behind your eyes


12. AIMLESS PEACOCK

Hey boys gather 'round
We'll put it up and they'll tear it down
Hey boys rock bye
Kiss the pretty girls goodbye

Hey boys up on high
Don't you stop till you reach the sky
Hey boys let it ring
A song for everyone to sing

A song for everyone to sing
A song for everyone to sing
A song for everyone to sing
A song for everyone to sing

A song for everyone to sing
A song for everyone to sing
A song for everyone to sing
A song for everyone to sing


13. THE SHADY GROVE

Meet me by the banks of the sweet primrose
Follow it down to the shady grove
Bonnie blow the breeze by the cabin door
No two lovers could ask for more

So grab your fiddle and your old banjo
Play a country blues so sweet and slow
We'll sing along to the drunkard's doom
And rock all night by the silvery moon

These old trees grow straight to heaven
So it goes in the shady grove

When the old hen crackles and the ground gets cold
Our fine buck skin dances through the snow
We'll take to town on a Saturday night
You and me baby make such a sight

Whiskey, wine, name your pleasure
So it goes in the shady grove

Hey boys gather 'round
We'll put it up and they'll tear it down
Hey boys rockabye
Kiss the pretty girls goodbye

Hey boys up on high
Don't you stop till you reach the sky
Hey boys let it ring
A song for everyone to sing

When the fish start biting at the noon day fry
The muddy roads have all done dried
The honeysuckle says it's summertime
That old yellow sun is mighty kind

Hear the seasons come with reasons
So it goes in the shady grove

Hey boys up on high
Don't you stop till you reach the sky
Hey boys let it ring
A song for everyone to sing

Won't you be my lullaby, babe
In the sweet bye and bye, babe
It's okay to cry and let the sadness pass you by
And know I'll always love you, babe

Hey boys gather 'round
I'll put it up and they'll tear it down
Hey boys rock a bye
Kiss the pretty girls goodbye

Hey boys up on high
Don't you stop till you reach the sky
Hey boys let it ring
A song for everyone to sing

A song for everyone to sing
A song for everyone to sing
A song for everyone to sing
A song for everyone to sing


14. THE GARDEN GATE

Brown eyed girl, precious flower
From your slumber, awake
We have come to this fateful hour
And our love cannot wait

Meet me at the gate, at the garden gate
Meet me at the garden gate
You made a promise, now don't be late
Meet me at the garden gate

Meet me at the gate, at the garden gate
Meet me at the garden gate
You made a promise, now don't be late
Meet me at the garden gate

Don't tell your mother, don't tell your father
We both know it's far too late
When we fly, they won't come after
They will know our love is great

Meet me at the gate, at the garden gate
Meet me at the garden gate
You made a promise, now don't be late
Meet me at the garden gate

Meet me at the gate, at the garden gate
Meet me at the garden gate
You made a promise, now don't be late
Meet me at the garden gate, all right

You are sweet as you are tender
You are wise beyond your years
You are a jewel amongst the cinders
So don't shed a sorry tear

Meet me at the gate, at the garden gate
Meet me at the garden gate
You made a promise, now don't be late
Meet me at the garden gate

Meet me at the gate, at the garden gate
Meet me at the garden gate
You made a promise, now don't be late
Meet me at the garden gate


15. GREENHORN

Greenhorn dreams of salty seas
Of maidens fair and lovely
Who beckon and call from emerald walls
Of cities far and strange

Greenhorn hears melodies
From mountaintops and low valleys
Of chimney smoke and Easter's hope
And love not lost in vain

I wanna wake up in the morning
Wake up in the morning
Wake and look into your eyes
Wake up in the morning
Wake and look into your eyes

Before I see the world
Under darkening skies
Gonna wake up in the morning
Wake and look into your eyes

Greenhorn feels the cold winds blow
Now he knows it's time to go
Now he longs for open roads
He longs to leave the pines

And leave he will with a tearful eye
But he won't stop to wave goodbye
He won't stop to look behind
On just what used to be

I wanna wake up in the morning
Wake up in the morning
Wake and look into your eyes
Wake up in the morning
Wake and look into your eyes

Before I see the world
Under darkening skies
I wanna wake up in the morning
Wake and look into your eyes

Days to years
Child to man
Lonely fears
She understand

I wanna wake up in the morning
Wake up in the morning
Wake and look into your eyes
Wake up in the morning
Wake and look into your eyes

Before I see the world
Under darkening skies
I wanna wake up in the morning
Wake and look into your eyes

I wanna wake up in the morning
Wake up in the morning
Wake up in the morning
Wake up in the morning
Wake up in the morning
Wake and look into your eyes


16. SHINE ALONG

Well my rider done left me
Mama wouldn't even close the door
Now I'm drunk and I'm ornery
Sitting here on my dirty floor

Shine along, shine along
Someday love is gonna take me home
Shine along, shine along
Someday love is gonna take me home

Now I'm broke and I'm hungry
I've been out on the rails too long
Got a mind that is worried
That the end is coming up on me strong

Shine along, shine along
Someday love is gonna take me home
Shine along, shine along
Someday love is gonna take me home

Shine along, shine along
Someday love is gonna take me home
Shine along, shine along
Someday love is gonna take me home

If you see my old rider
If you see her out on some Friday night
Tell her I don't miss her
Well, won't you tell her time is treating me right

Shine along, shine along
Someday love is gonna take me home
Shine along, shine along
Someday love is gonna take me home
Shine along, shine along
Someday love is gonna take me home
Shine along, shine along
Well, someday love is gonna take me home


17. ROLL OLD JEREMIAH

Roll old Jeremiah
Roll it all night long
Roll old Jeremiah
The fox jumps over the hollow log

Wave goodbye to Albuquerque
Say hello Sioux City Falls
You got three good wheels still rolling
Don't let the dust set on you long

It's just another day from here to there
It's just another night alone
Yeah the wind, it is a simple friend
What brought you here can take you home

Lean as these hard times
Dry down to the bone
Roll old Jeremiah
Roll that whiskey barrel home

When you hear that whistle blowing
When your smoke is in the air
Roll on Jeremiah
Roll on home without a care

It's just another day from here to there
It's just another night alone
Yeah the wind, it is a simple friend
What brought you here can take you home

Double mounted double gal
Lifted a pistol in Jesuit Bend
Up to Viper she did run
Careful Jeremiah now
You know how this is gonna go down
A bullet don't care where it comes from
Run Jeremiah, run, run, run

It's just another day from here to there
It's just another night alone
Yeah the wind, it is a simple friend
What brought you here can take you home


18. LADY OF AVENUE A

You said goodnight
Wrapped your scarf up tight
And left into a winter scene
The Lower East Side
Is just a place to hide
A place to privately dream

Good times and lost nights on Avenue A
Don't let the bright lights take you away
You just can't believe what the city folks say
My lady of Avenue A

These old downtown streets
Where lovers meet
To sometimes laugh, to sometimes cry
A strange parade
All new things fade
But somehow this place stays the same

Good times and lost nights on Avenue A
Don't let the bright lights take you away
You just can't believe what the city folks say
My lady of Avenue A

You fall asleep
I hear you breathe
The snow outside, I make some tea
The cat's awake
And plays with string
As I slip into a dream

Good times and lost nights on Avenue A
Don't let the bright lights take you away
You just can't believe what the city folks say
My lady of Avenue A
My lady of Avenue A


19. SO MANY TIMES

So many times
I've been fooling myself
It's a hard hand to play
Falls on nobody else

Those in the city
Reaching out to grab hold
Of something they've only heard about
And never been shown

Who do you turn to and what do you say
When she's got the power and she got the way
Does it matter at all
Who survives and who falls
When we live under darkness
And hide behind walls

Why would anyone
Even try to hold sway
Over somebody else
In such a small way

Where are the answers
To the problems we face
Who would teach us
About sharing and living in grace

Who do you turn to and what do you say
When she's got the power and she got the way
Does it matter at all
Who survives and who falls
When we live under darkness
And hide behind walls


20. FORK IN THE RIVER

The wine may have gone sour
But you can't blame the band
Like you can't blame the locusts
For drought on the land

You can't blame the sea
'Cause it's full of your tears
And you can't blame me
For wanting you here

There's a fork in the river
No time to think twice
A change in the weather
So keep close at night

A hissing in the wood pile
A voice on the wind
A fork in the river
Is where we begin

I once found a rainbow
Lyin' flat on the ground
But I just kept walking
Thinking more were around

The buzzard, the joker
The beggar, the throne
The roses, the sugar
No safe passage home

There's a fork in the river
No time to think twice
A change in the weather
So keep close an eye

A hissing in the wood pile
A voice on the wind
A fork in the river
Is where we begin

A fork in the river
No time to think twice
A change in the weather
So keep close an eye

A hissing in the wood pile
A voice on the wind
A fork in the river
Is where we begin

A fork in the river
Is where we begin
A fork in the river
Is where we begin
