I got a one hundred-dollar bill
It's all shiny, crisp, and clean
And it's burning a hole in the pocket of my jeans
I think I'll spend it on some pills
Instead of gasoline
I don't see any kind of fun in coming clean
Pick me up and watch me fall
And do it all again
I ain't got no sense at all
I like pissing in the wind and on my dreams
Look at me
(chorus)
Look at me I'm on my way down
So close now I can almost see the ground
Yeah another night another town
Set em up I'll knock em down
Workin' on sympathy
Look at me
Hey bartender another round
This one's on mine
Let's see how many friends I can buy in just a little time
See the girl at the bar
Tell her I'm somebody and I got a fast car
I'm in room 331 with a bottle of wine
Tell I'm a superstar
She won't give it a second chance
Tell that I play guitar but I never learned how to dance
And here's my key
Yeah look at me
. . .

42 more miles
This stuff it cramps my style
Broke down on the side of the road
A thousand flies a buzzin'
Sittin', spittin', and cussin'
Sittin' on top of our load
(chorus)
If I ever get out of this hole
If I ever get down the road
I got 42 miles to go
5:30 in the evening
Mechanic phone's a ringin'
Is he ever gonna fix our ride
You know I ain't bitchin', but bad news is all we're getting'
Just need a little luck on our side
(chorus)
That fire siren screamin'
Still I'm not believin'
That much goes on in this town
You know if I had the chance I'd do a chicken dance
After I watched it burn to the ground
(chorus)
. . .

I had a heart big as Atlanta
Till I ran in to a dancer named Savannah
She stole my soul away
Tool my wallet and my chain
Left me here standin' out in the rain
Suzi Suzi man that chick was groovy
Let her ride in my four door Cadillac
One night while I was sleepin' ever so softly
She hit the road and never did come back
(chorus)
One of these days I'm gonna set my ways
Maybe I quit all this runnin' round
Gonna find me a woman with her head on tight
Maybe then I'll get some sleep at night
Roxy baby what a foxy lady
Loved to wear her great big diamond rings
Money in my pocket boys you know I couldn't buy her toys
Left me here with a load of blues to sing
(chorus)
Janet Janet from the boogie planet
Had a body out of this world
I thought Janet was for real
She was gonna get me a record deal
Till she ran away with another girl
(chorus)
Shelby Shelby Lord help me
That girl come alive at night
She's straight out of Californ-I-A
Something bout that girl hey
See her once see her every day go by
(chorus)

You say you will, but you never do
Kind of gettin' tired of lookin' through you
Got a lot on your mind, but not as much as I had on mine
When you got everything
You don't know what it's like to lose
But everything is nothing when your neck's inside the noose
When it chokes you out and it fades to black
Leaves you wishing you could take it all back
It don't matter if it's wrong or right, it don't matter if you sleep at night
It don't matter how much you pray,'cause you'll get yours come Judgement Day
(chorus)
'cause Everything comes back around
No matter how much you cover your ground
You spend your whole life running from your sins
Runnin' a race you ain't never gonna win
Gonna catch up to you in the end
Got holes in your story, got a monkey on your back
One foot in the grave and you're caught in a trap
With a fallin' down curtain that you can't stop
An iron in the fire that you didn't mean to drop
When you live in a house that's made of glass
Don't throw stones cause your walls will fall fast
As those walls come crashing down
Look at the pieces scattered all around
Pick up the ones that you can find
Try to put them all together but you're runnin' out of time
(chorus)
Broke down and you're all alone
A blade of guilt cuts you to the bone
Think by now you'd have turn and run
But you can't cross a bridge you've burned
(chorus)
You know that you can't run forever my friend
. . .

Check me out in my easy chair
Bottle in my hand
How it ever got to go far I guess I'll never understand
Cause I bend and bend until I break
Then I bend some more
Sometimes I feel like a piece of dirt down on your floor
(chorus)
I bang my head against the wall
Bang it until it bleeds
To me it makes no difference at all
I got to bang it till I' can't see
Don't know what you think of me
I don't really care
I got to bang my head against the wall cause it's there
I sit and stare at the telephone
Why don't it ring
Once upon a time I thought I knew it all
Turns out I don't know one damn thing
Pick it up and I throw it down
I pick it up again
I'm gonna keep slammin' it to the floor till someone's on the other end
(chorus)
I don't know why I'm sittin' here
Seems like I used to know
Knew everything I wanted everywhere I needed to go
Friends stop and they smile at me
They say you got it all
But what they don't know what they don't see
Are the holes up and down my hall
(chorus)
Sun comin' up at the break of dawn
I can't shut my eyes
It's like a pile of wire coat hangers inside of my mind
Now I'm down here on the floor
My world spinning around
I get the feeling I ain't ever gonna leave this God forsaken town
(chorus)

Jimmy was a small town kid
The only thing that he ever did
Was cross that south side railroad track
Annie was a small town girl
Wanted so bad to see the world
Get on a train and never look back
(chorus)
Throw caution to the wind don't ever turn your head
Cause in the end we'll all be dead
Make 'em open up their ears and listen to your song
It don't matter whose right or wrong
Headed fast out of town West on 51
Half a pack of cigarettes and a glove compartment gun
Runnin' a little short on gas she said I'll step in and pay
Got a pocket full of cash and they made their getaway
(chorus)
Arizona sun sinking slowly in the sand
Got a bag of twenty bills and a sack of contraband
Steppin' down on his foot give this thing some gas
The lights in the rearview mirror are coming on us fast
Just like the wind here cane the end
They never saw it come
Jimmy knew his fate was sealed when Annie grabbed her gun
The same old broken story
I know you've heard it too
They went out in a blaze of glory with a hand held .22
(chorus)
. . .

the devil's got a hot rod Ford
JESUS got a brand new Cadillac
The devil he sent me off the road
Sent me 60 feet below
JESUS turned around and he came back
I heard the tires scream on that Cadillac
The devil he ain't got no clue
Jesus got his eyes on you
The devil ha made me crash my ride
I got JESUS on my side
JESUS on my side
You see he was driving that ragtop right in back of me
The devil with his evil grin
JESUS with his healing hands
The devil he just sits and smiles
JESUS wipes the blood from my eyes
JESUS with his healing hands
He picks me up and holds me where I stand
That devil he won't get too far
JESUS let me drive his car
We drove him off that Seminole Bridge
Back to hell you son of a bitch
JESUS and me we made that Cadillac yell
We sent that demon screamin' back to hell
JESUS got a coupe de ville
He's ridin' right behind me still
He's with me on that broken line
In case the devil he comes back sometime
JESUS in his brand new Cadillac
He's making sure that devil he don't come back

A young man's searching
Trying to find his soul
He's heard all the myths and the stories that he's told
He searches his heart for the magic to behold
He wants to find the answers before he grows old
(chorus)
One door closes two doors open
The road you take is the path you've chosen
T he end is the beginning, beginning is the end
Every road gonna bring you round again
Stop and look around
Time to move on
My old man is traveling
Now he's lost his way
He's drifting in the middle
And his hair is turning gray
What you don't know might hurt you
When your pride gets in the way
If you don't read the signs
You'll get lost along the way
(chorus)
You got to follow your bliss
Gotta follow your sorrow
Where will you be when you wake up tomorrow
The choice is up to you
It's yours and yours alone
Every road gonna bring you home
(chorus)
. . .

Too scared to go to proud to run
Here's your orders boy here's your gun
We're sending you off to Vietnam
Try to stay cool try to stay calm
Never seen nothin' but that Mid-Texas dirt
Never been on a flying machine
Your job now is to take this gun
And kill everything that you see
It's a long way home
Orange in the air
Fire on the ground
Them back up boys ain't no where around
There's smoke in the sky
You're screamin' to the sea
Oh God have mercy on me
It's a long way home
Got that medal on your chest
Now you got it made
But you're going back to a land of protest
And an empty hero's parade
Waking up in the dead of night
Screaming out your lungs
Jungle fires and trip bomb wires
And blazin' red turret guns
It's a long way home
. . .

i got a lot of things to say
I've got a lot of things to do today
But I'll put a??em all behind
Throw a??em to the side
Put a??em off till tomorrow to keep you satisfied
Put a??em off till tomorrow to keep you satisfied
Come to me when you can
Run to me baby understand
Where you go I will follow
Every step of the way every night and day
Every step of the way every night and day
(chorus)
Like your shadow on the ground girl I'll always be around
Be it high or be it low
Reaping everything you sow
Everywhere you go
Every mile every breath
Anything put me to the test
Heel to toe
Everywhere you go
Everywhere that you go in the pocket of your soul
Everywhere that you go in the pocket of your soul
(chorus)
Come to me when you can
Run to me baby understand
. . .

She picked up the telephone
All she heard was dial tone
She really thought she heard it ring this time
She said what am I thinking I must be only dreaming
Or maybe it’s the hundred times he’s crossed my mind
Just tonight
(Chorus)
She said maybe I miss your lovin’
Maybe I miss your kiss just a little bit
Maybe I miss your body lyin’ right next to mine
Maybe I miss your touch a little too much
Tossing and turning her skins still burning
From the fire in his hands
Runnin’ on empty she needs somebody
But somebody wouldn’t understand
Then the telephone rings
(Chorus)
They talked about Savannah
Sweet home Alabama
And how he missed the way she always smiled
Are you coming back soon
By the Harvest moon
If I have to walk every mile on my knees
(Chorus
. . .

what is life it could be a million
It could be a single dime
Or it could be a ship out on the water
But to me it's just more time
Time for the one who moved a hundred mountains
Time for the one who broke a thousand chains
For the love of a son and a mother
A little girl sweet as sugar cane
What is love it could be a river
Love's a single drop of rain
But to her love is forever
It's the mention of your name
What is love there's more than just one answer
Love's a golden wedding ring
If only love could be the cure for cancer
Then the world would hear you sing
What is faith
Faith is believing
Faith can tell you where to go
You say faith can move a thousand mountains
Faith can liberate your soul
A heart of gold will take you to the rafters
Where you get your angel wings
Don't cry for me are the words that are coming
From your golden guitar strings
What is life
It could be a million
What is love
There's more than just one answer
What is faith
Faith is believing
. . .
