Cross Canadian Ragweed Album

I got a number in my pocket
Keep it in my wallet, right on my hip
When my paycheck's steady, I'm damn good and ready
I toll it up to my lip, and I go to the moon

I got my foot down on the throttle
Hands around the bottle, I think my speakers are blown
No rubber on my tire, I'm a gettin' higher
Higher than I've ever been

I can't remember the last time I touched the ground
You look at me like I'm gonna let you down
Hey, every time I come around

You got your finger on my button
Actin like it's nothing, bitchin' from your golden throne
You ain't no anybody, actin' high and mighty
Waitin' for me to explode, fire in the hole
Look out, down below, here I go

You're wasting time, why bother even coming 'round
If you know I'm gonna let you down

On the floor now, on the floor now
It's started again, it's started again
Close the door now, close the door now
Won't you let me in, won't you let me in

(Chorus:)
It's been six long days, and I'm on my way
Will I ever see the end, gotta heavy load
Down a dead end road, and I can't sleep again
I can't sleep again

Hold the phone now, hold the phone now
You're calling again, won't ya call again
Say my name girl, SAY MY NAME girl
You know it's a sin, even though it's a sin

(Chorus)

I gotta roll on, gotta roll on
Gonna leave you alone girl not for long

(Chorus)

Sittin' there with you hair all in your face
Tears are fallin' like they're in a race
You look down, you look around, then you look up again
You get the feeling you can never win

(Chorus:)
Tell me your troubles lonely girl
What have you gotten in
You're confused in your own world
You just want the day to go away
So you can start it all over again

Life ain't easy, I'm telling you what everybody said
Yeah, they beat that horse until it's dead
Open your window, open your heart, open your eyes to see
Everything around you girl, it's meant to be

(Chorus)

She's got a smile a million miles long
Got a trail of cryin' and leavin' songs
You don't know and you don't care
You're completely unaware
Sometimes I wanna rip out your heart
And see if something's there

(Chorus:)
Cold hearted woman
You're bringing me down in flames
Runnin' around all over town
Runnin' down my name
Gonna get me a loaded pistol
Wait, was that out loud?
Cold hearted woman
I'm gonna put you in the ground

When the money comes rollin'
I can do no wrong
When the river stops flowin'
She's burnin' up the telephone
And by the time that I find you
Yeah my money' all down the drain
Burnt it up on cheap motels
And 80 bottles of cocaine

(Chorus)

Cold hearted woman
What goes around comes around

Got your bag on your shoulder,
Never thought once about thinkin' it over.
Feel like you're the only one,
Who's ever been in a bad situation.
Now you need to take yourself a love vacation,
'Cause after all, what's done is done.

Sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Everything around you's growin' old.
The days drag on, the nights last forever,
Every day's tougher just to keep it together.
Forget everything you've ever known,
Except for home.

He made a promise he couldn't keep.
I bet he's not losing a bit of sleep,
Over how you're getting down the line.
Now don't you fret, now don't you worry,
Don't get in too much of a hurry,
'Cause up ahead's that city limit sign.

Sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Everything around you's growin' old.
The days drag on, the nights last forever,
Every day's tougher just to keep it together.
Forget everything you've ever known,
Except for home.

Home is where the heart is:
That's what somebody once said. (Yeah.)
I think your heart is where your love is:
All the rest baby, the rest it's all in your head.

Well, memories, they're over-rated:
All they do is get you down an' frustrated,
And who needs that on their back?
Starting over, cold turkey,
Washin' your soul of everything that's dirty.
Seal your heart of every crack.

You're no longer sick and tired.
Everything around you feels brand new.
Yeah. the days fly by, the nights could be longer:
Every day you're just a little bit stronger,
Now that you've spread your wings and flown,
Back to home.
Back to home.
Back to home. (Home.)
Yeah, back to home.
(Back to home.)

You got your fingers runnin' through my hair
I got my stereo loud
You're barefoot dancing in your underwear
I bet your daddy'd be proud
But he ain't nowhere around

He said he's never gonna change his mind
Man, won't you leave her alone
I bet one day he's gonna eat his pride
Choking on the bone

When I'm on the Rolling Stone
Yeah, I'm on the Rolling Stone

(Chorus:)
Hey baby, take a run with me, smell that rubber burn
You think your life, is a tragedy feel my motor hum
You think you're headed down a one way track
The only color in your future's black
You wanna leave and never come back around
I'll put that hammer down

Tell me what you gotta lose
You aint got nothing at all
You ain't got nothing that you gotta prove
You aint against the wall
You're just fed up with it all
You're fed up with it all

Chorus

[Thanks to [email protected] for lyrics]

You bring me sunshine
I bring you rain
You bring me smiles
I drove you outta your brain
You bring me uo
I bring you down
I bring you flowers
If it brings you around

Chorus
I know that I am hard to live with
Try to live with out me girl
Drive you crazy, drive me mad
We're the best thing we've ever had

You roll your head back on your shoulders
You roll your eyes you know it gets to me
Then we roll back all the covers
We're gonna roll through eternity

Chorus

Yeah we're the best thing
Just ask your dad

Been a lot of word floatin' 'round
'Bout what I do with my life
People talk but I don't hear a sound, fabricated lies
You think you got me all figured out, you couldn't even try
Talking smack behind my back, can't look me in the eye

(Chorus:)
Cast your stone, gid your bones
Tuck your tail and head for home
Leave me alone

Your eyes, they're quicker than your tongue
You think that I don't know
They cut through me like the blazin' sun
You got no cards to show
They stare me down from across the room
You think my ears, they burn
You'll feel the heat from my fire soon
Hey stand in line, wait your turn

(Chorus)

Hey, grab your shovel, boy, keep on digging
You'll find that nowhere's what you're getting

(Chorus)

Got one foot in front of the other
Got the wind at my back
Got the bluebird of happiness on my shoulder
Along with everything I could pack

Won't get me down
Won't get me down
Dig a hole, put me in the ground
Won't get me down

This old guitar done some livin'
And it's made a livin' for me
Well it's seen its share of barfights
And it's sat in the corner cryin' for me

Won't get it down
Won't get it down
If it never made another sound
Won't get it down

Wears my ring on her finger
We swore we'd always be true
There's no doubt I'd love to linger
Long after this whole world is through

Won't get us down
Won't get us down
Slander us all over town
Won't get us down

There's a man they call Jesus
And he did alot for me
Everything we do he sees us
Yeah he walks through eternity

Won't get him down
Won't get him down
Crucified with a thorny crown
Won't get him down

Won't get him down
Won't get him down
Someday he'll be back around
Won't get him down

Last night I went down to the railroad tracks
To watch that train roll by
99 cars screaming into the dark
I heard the lonesome whistle cry
With her name on my arm and the rain coming down
I kissed her like it was the first time
I took her down to the railroad tracks, and her red,red lips touched mine

(Chorus:)
She said,"I wanna rock and roll
Wanna hoochie coo
Shake that thing
Baby, love me do"

The woman's got a walk to make a man cry, throw back his head and howl
Ruby red lips, liquid hips, more than the law will allow
If I told her once, I told her twice
I must of told her a thousand times
I got a red hot mind and a cold black heart
I am the jealous kind
The woman just laughed and said, "Sweet Daddy
You know you are the only one
You're my smooth lover boy, my heartache and joy
Com on let's have some fun."

(Chorus)

It was early last night, I went downtown
To a place called Johnny's Last Stand
Through the blues and the smoke
I saw her on the dance floor
She's with another man
The dead man's name was Louie Dupree
I pushed the little button on my knife
I walked up and said, "Hello boys and girls
Have you enjoyed your life?"

(Chorus:)
It's time to rock and roll
Wanna hoochie coo
Shake that thing
Baby, love me do

Last night I went down to the railroad tracks
To watch that train roll by
99 cars screaming into the dark
I heard the lonesome whistle cry
With her name on my arm and the rain coming down
I kissed her for the very last time
I took her down to the railroad track and her dead, red lips touched mine

(Chorus:)
I wanna rock and roll
Wanna hoochie coo
Shake that thing
Baby, love me do
Rock and roll
Hoochie coo
Shake that thing
Baby, love me do

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

My dad, he had a friend, lowdown till the end
Everything he did, it came out wrong
No matter how hard he tried
He never cheated, he never lied
Had a shotgun in his hand when he died

Chorus
Everybody's got their own way, tomorrow's another day
Make of it what you will, as you're climbing up that hill
Always be prepared to pay

I know a man, a guitar in his hand
Taught me things I never thought I'd know
But the pills and the crystal meth took him to his death
All he ever wanted was a song and a sing along

Second Chorus
Everybody's got their way, tomorrow's another day
Make of it what you will, don't forget to get your thrills
Always be prepared to pay

Don't forget where you're from, stick to your guns
Always be good to your fellow man
Bow your head and pray, every single day
Life don't always turn out like you plan

Repeat first chorus

Good mornin' California
How long has it been?
I know your sky could help me fly
Out of this shape I'm in
I polished off another bottle
Some old cheap red wine
I'll turn it all back into water for you baby
Just to hold you one more time

Too far gone
Too far gone
Been so long since I've been back home
I'm too far gone

Hey baby what you wearin'?
Damn that sure sounds fine
I know I just catch myself starin'
Staring 'til I went blind
'Cause you treat me like I'm your someone
Even when no one's around
I'd drop everything I was holdin'
To pick up what you're puttin' down

Too far gone
Too far gone
I can't explain, it would take too long
I'm too far gone

I know it's been crazy
I know what you're going through
Let me tell you sweet baby
That I'll walk right through with you
You're always there besides me
Whether I'm right or wrong
I know in here without you here
I'm too far gone

Too far gone
Too far gone
'Til I sing a brand new song
I'm too far gone

Too far gone
Too far gone
I know I could go on and on
I'm too far gone
