Alice Cooper | I Just Wanna Be God | /a/alice+cooper/i+just+wanna+be+god_20226616.html | I'm in control, I got a bulletproof soul
And I'm full of self-esteem
I invented myself with no one's help
I'm a prototype supreme
I sit on my private throne
And run my lifestyle all alone
Me, myself and I agree
We don't need nobobdy else
I never learned to bow, bend or crawl
To any known authority
I really want to build my statue tall
That's all
I'm just trying to be God
I only want to be God
I just want to be God
Why can't I be God
I got no time to take advice
I want to gamble with my eternity with loaded dice
I don't need a preacher in my face
When I'm the omnipresent ruler of the human race
Ain't gonna spend my life being no one's fool
I was born to rock and I was born to rule
But if I'm wrong on judgement day
I'm royally screwed with hell to pay
I never learned to bow, bend or crawl
To any known authority
I really want to build my statue tall
That's all
I'm just trying to be God
I only want to be God
I just want to be God
Why can't I be God
I'm just trying to be God
I only want to be God
I just want to be God
Why can't I be God
I'm just trying to be God
I only want to be God
I just want to be God
Why can't I be God
I'm just trying to be God
I only want to be God
I just want to be God
Why can't I be God

Alice Cooper | I Like Girls | /a/alice+cooper/i+like+girls_20235940.html | I bought a Porsche
And I'm leavin Grand Rapids
Quit my job, quit my school
Quit this place
My mother cried
My father was fried
Hey, I've got no time, man
I want to say goodbye to my babes
I like girls
I dumped on Sheila on Thursday
I'll drop Melissa today
I'll kiss some tears off of Donna
Ask if she'll call on Shauna
Amanda, and Sandra and Kay
I like girls, I love 'em to death
Hey Valentino! You going somewhere?
You wouldn't sneak out on me, would you?
What's that a blond hair?
He must visualize himself an Errol Flynn
I see myself a suave sophisticated lover
I'll meet a rich hot old Hollywood dame
You see, my ultimate goal
Will be my life bein' told
In a penthouse letter that I can frame
And keep it all my life
Girls, I love 'em, oh yeah
New luggage? Did you say you were going
Somewhere? Oh, just out for some fresh air
Does she have a nice pair?
He was swallowed alive by the freeway
Turned into an ant on parade
He bravely drove off that beast
Aimed his car back to the east
Why be a snack at home?
I'm a feast, for the girls
I like girls, I really like 'em
Well,well,well.Look who's back. Run out of gas?
Patty, I was just gonna call you. Look...
I left Donna and Shauna
And Katy and Carrie
Melissa and Dena
I just didn't have any use for 'em
I just want you
Really, no really, honest!

You ain't going to catch me at no may-day rally

Alice Cooper | I Miss You | /a/alice+cooper/i+miss+you_20521884.html | Touched by thoughts
As cold as ice
Like some bathroom floor
No love can be worth this price
Still I ask for more
Endless days and restless nights
And forgotten scenes
Hopelessly I tried to find
Escape from this deam
Baby I miss you
When are you coming home
No matter where you are
I hate being alone
Love is sweet
And bitter too
The taste can leave cold
You know I hate it
But I cannot refuse to capture control
How it seems
There's no way out
I guess I never knew
Emptiness has left no doubt
Now I want you
Baby I miss you
When are you coming home
No matter where you are
I hate being alone
Baby I miss you
When are you coming home
No matter where you are
I hate being alone
Baby I miss you
When are you coming home
You've been gone for so long
Baby I miss you
When are you coming home
Tell me you're coming back

Alice Cooper | I Never Wrote Those Songs | /a/alice+cooper/i+never+wrote+those+songs_20287369.html | My tape recorder,
It must be lyin'
'Cause this I just can't believe.
I hear a voice that's cryin',
That's not me.
The wheel goes round.
I hear a sound.
It's comin' out all wrong.
And I swear to you I never wrote that song.
I been livin' in my own shell so long:
The only place I ever feel at home.
And oh, that music,
I hate those lyrics.
It stayed inside me so long.
And I swear to you I never wrote that song.
But pardon me,
I'm not lookin' for sympathy,
Not sympathy.
I'm just thinking out loud.
The melody,
It goes nowhere pointlessly.
Silence please.
I been livin' in my own shell so long:
The only place I ever feel at home.
And oh, that music,
I hate those lyrics.
It stayed inside me so long.
And I swear to you I never.

Alice Cooper | I'm Alive | /a/alice+cooper/im+alive_20521885.html | I was just kicking down the street
And the sun was in my eyes
So I couldn't see the truck
That was sixty times my size
And just seconds off from splattering me
Let me tell you
I was so scared I couldn't move
Like my boots were full of glue
Then I felt a little tug
And I thought of good Old Blue
And he pulled me from that catastrophe
That was the day
My dead pet returned to save my life
I'm alive
He's alive
I'm alive
I was spitting in the canyon
Near the cliff up on the mountain
When an unexpected sneeze
Hung me in the breeze
At forty five degrees in the sky
Suddenly I felt something
Had me by the belt
And in between my praying
Swore I heard a stallion neighing
Was the ghost of my horse
And I cried, yes I cried
That was the day
My dead pet returned to save my life
That was the day
My dead pet returned to save my life
I'm alive
He's alive
Hey, I'm alive
Things were getting gory
Got caught on territory
Belonging to the Crutches
In an alley in their clutches
Looking kind of dismal that night
Well the leader's name was Fats
Swinging broken baseball bats
Things got really frantic
Starting jumping in their panic
Hallucinating billions of rats
Lots of rats
That was the day
My dead pet returned to save my life
That was the day
My dead pet returned to save my life
I'm alive, I'm alive, real alive
That was the day my dead pet returned
That was the day my dead pet returned
That was the day my dead pet returned
That was the day my dead pet returned
To save my life
I'm alive, I'm alive
He's alive, he's alive, he's alive
I'm alive, yeah
He's alive, he's alive
I'm alive, real alive
Alive, alive, alive
Alive, alive, alive, alive
Alive, alive, alive, alive
I'm alive

Alice Cooper | It's Much Too Late | /a/alice+cooper/its+much+too+late_20320449.html | I never kicked a dog, a child or my wife
I never looked at pornography
I swear it on my holy saint mother's life
But somehow she's down here with me
The road to hell is littered with nice guys with good intentions
But once you're there, you're there, it's much too late
I can cry and scream it's just not fair
To leave me here like you don't care
There must be some mistake up there in heaven
Now it's much too late
My time has passed away
All my plans and dreams have all ended
Now it's much too late
To try and plead my case
And I don't know the God I've offended
It's too late
I never stole a thing, a toy or a kiss
My conscience is a clear as can be
And when I was a teen, all the sex that I missed
Was an abstinence blessing to me
The road to hell is littered with nice guys with good intentions
But once you're there, you're there, it's much too late
I can cry and scream it's just not fair
To leave me here like you don't care
There must be some mistake up there in heaven
Now it's much too late
My time has passed away
All my plans and dreams have all ended
Now it's much too late
To try and plead my case
And I don't know the God I've offended
It's too late
Now it's much too late
My time has passed away
All my plans and dreams have all ended
Now it's much too late
To try and plead my case
And I don't know the God I've offended
It's too late
It's much too late
My time has passed away
All my plans and dreams have all ended
Now it's much too late
To try and plead my case
And I don't know the God I've offended
It's too late
It's much to late

Alice Cooper | Killer | /a/alice+cooper/killer_20228019.html | What did I do to deserve such a fate
I didn't really want to get
Involved in this thing
Someone handed me this gun and I
I gave it everything
Yeah, I gave it everything
I came into this life
Looked all around
I saw just what I liked
And took what I found
Nothing came easy
Nothing came free
Nothing came all until they
Came after me
Yeah-hey, yeah
I didn't really want to get
Involved in this thing
Someone handed me this gun and I
I gave it everything
Yeah, I gave it everything

Alice Cooper | Lace And Whiskey | /a/alice+cooper/lace+and+whiskey_20232728.html | I find myself running in circles
Lost and half insane
And I need a cure sometimes
To knock out the pain
So I yell out for some kind of angel
To come down and rescue me
Be as soft as you can
Put a drink in my hand
I'm as scared as I ever could be
Gimme lace and whiskey
Mamas home remedy
Double indemnity
Fills me with ecstasy
La-aa-aace and whiskey
Lots of things I really want here
Lots of things I really need
There's an animal soul inside
That I've gotta feed
My hot mamas feminine body (?)
Always gets a rise from me
She's so soft in my hands
I give her all she can stand
Make a full fledged man outta me
Gimme lace and whiskey
Mamas home remedy
Double indemnity
Fills me with ecstasy
La-aa-ace and whiskey
La-aa-ace and whiskey
I ain't hard ass'd
So babe don't make me mean
I want a hot place
To go and show you things
Gimme lace and whiskey
Mamas home remedy
Double indemnity
Fills me with ecstasy
La-aa-ace and whiskey
I'll end up a broken old hobo
With red and yellow eyes
Swear' and drunk and dyin'
But no ones surprised
That's a long long way from today babe
As far as I can see
So shake off your shoes
Go and get me my booze
Lay your love and your laces on me
Gimme lace and whiskey
Mamas home remedy
Double indemnity
Fills me with ecstasy
La-aa-ace and whiskey
La-aa-ace and whiskey
La-aa-ace and whiskey
La-aa-ace and whiskey

Alice Cooper | Love's A Loaded Gun | /a/alice+cooper/loves+a+loaded+gun_20005788.html | Somebody saw you at the station
You had your suitcase in your hand
You didn't give no information
You walked off with another man
I'm always standing in the shadows, baby
I watched you give yourself away
You take them home into your bedroom
You had another busy day
I tried to look the other way and fake it
You push me to the limits
I can't take it
CHORUS
One down, one to go
Just another bullet in the chamber
Sometimes love's a loaded gun
Red lights, stop and go
Whatcha gonna do when you play with danger
Sometimes love's a loaded gun
And it shoots to kill
Someday they'll put me in a squad car
Someday they'll throw away the key
But 'til that day I'll be a mad dog
Cause that's what you taught me to be
You looked into the eyes of men above you
I was the one who really tried to love you
One down, one to go
Just another bullet in the chamber
Sometimes love's a loaded gun
Red lights, stop and go
Whatcha gonna do when you play with danger
Sometimes love's a loaded gun
And it shoots to kill
Pull the trigger
I tried to look the other way and fake it
You know, you push me right to the limit
I can't take it
One down, one to go
Just another bullet in the chamber
Sometimes love's a loaded gun
Red lights, stop and go
Whatcha gonna do when you play with danger
Sometimes love's a loaded gun
And it shoots to kill
Somebody saw you at the station
"In by Metallizepp"

Alice Cooper | Lullaby | /a/alice+cooper/lullaby_20237420.html | I was the boy who said all of my prayers
Laid my clean face on the pillow
Tucked in real tight, so safe and secure
Through the night
I heard a noise, it was probably nothing
It pulled me right out of a dream
If I knew it was you
I'd have jumped out of bed with a scream
I am the one who growls in your closet
I am the one who lives under your bed
[Chorus]
Get down, back where you started
Get down, back into hell
Your black soul, you know you're black hearted
I smell your sulfurous smell
All of my things that I play with in daylight
You turn into monsters at night
My toys were my friends
Until you taught them all how to bite
You showed me things little boys shouldn't see
You scared me with visions of fire
You danced on my bed
With the flames on your head dancing higher
I am the one who growls in your closet
I am the one who lives under your bed
[Chorus]
I tell you right now
I don't want your reptile embrace
I don't want to follow you down to your place
I don't want to be a child of disgrace
You can take your whiskey soaked, foaming
at the mouth, toilet talking, pea soup
Spewing, sweating blood demon breath out of my face
[Chorus]
I was the boy who said all of my prayers
Laid my clean face on the pillow
Tucked in real tight, so safe and secure
Through the night

Alice Cooper | Millie And Billie | /a/alice+cooper/millie+and+billie_20256112.html | Billie I wonder why are we insane
Will we ever get better
Will we stay the same
Billie I'm worried
Millie don't worry
No one knows our pain
Being in love is crazy not alone that way
I know you're worried today
God made love crazy so he wouldn't feel alone
He was thinking of us he was thinking of us
God made love crazy so he wouldn't feel so alone
Billie my mind seems to wander
To events of a night long ago
Driving alone with our guilt well concealed
In the trunk of your '68 Olds
Millie our world's an asylum
And our minds like you say ain't that straight
But you know and I know our passion's
Not deformed it's true to say
We'll love our lifetime
God made love crazy so he wouldn't feel alone
He was thinking of us he was thinking of us
God made love crazy so he wouldn't feel so alone
Billie I dream of our children
They're frightening and gruesome and sad
And I don't want them growing inside me
They're no price for the love that we have
Oh Millie oh Billie criminally insane
Oh Millie oh Billie
Oh Billie it's fresh in my memory
The night that it had to be done
You with your pick axe and scissors
And you with your shovel and gun
And I liked your late husband Donald
But such torture his memory brings
All sliced up and sealed tight in baggies
Guess love makes you do funny things
Oh Millie oh Billie criminally insane
Oh Millie oh Billie

Alice Cooper | Nuclear Infected | /a/alice+cooper/nuclear+infected_20270146.html | I'm nuclear infected
I really don't mind
I just go out when the sun goes down
And have a real good time
I can clear out any ballgame
In a minute and a half
Just show up - glow up
And have a real good laugh
When I'm happy I glow yellow
When I'm sad I glow blue
And I glow red hot when I'm in bed with you
I'm nuclear infected
Really ain't that bad
In fact it's about the best time
I guess I ever had
I'm nuclear infected
Looking for a mate
So slip on something lead, babe
And go out on a date
When I'm happy I glow yellow
When I'm sad I glow blue, yeah
And I glow red hot when I'm in bed with you
Nuclear infected --- don't make me angry
Nuclear infected --- don't make shake
Nuclear infected --- don't get me to sneeze
Nuclear infected --- that's a big mistake
I want to live on Three Mile Island
Where things are clean and neat
'ause we don't have no health freaks
Clutterin up our streets
I'm nuclear infected, I need something to eat
A China Syndrome Salad with plutonium and cheese
When I'm happy I glow yellow
When I'm sad I glow blue
And I glow red hot when I'm in bed with you

Alice Cooper | Remarkably Insincere | /a/alice+cooper/remarkably+insincere_20307322.html | Yeah, I'm such a liar
One time I told you
You were the highlight
Of all of my sexual life
While I'm confessing
When you're undressing
I was picking the lock
On your safe with my knife
Einstein
If you're so naive
That you believe
Everything I said to you
Well, I got your sex
And wrote you rubber checks
Well, what did you think
I was gonna do
My reputation for exaggeration
It never got to you
That's why I left Duluth
Sometimes I stretch the truth
My dearest darling
You know that luggage
It belonged to the blond
With the really nice pair
And incidentally
I sorely missed you
The pain was so hard to bear
If I would rate you
Not that I hate you
But you would end up
Eighth, maybe ninth in your class
Your build is hot now
If you could use your
Brain like you use your ass
Oh, you're so naive
How could you believe
Everything I said to you
My reputation for exaggeration
It never got to you
Sometimes I'm so uncouth
Sometimes I stretch the truth
Hey, I'm such a liar
One time I told you
You were the highlight
Of all of my sexual life
I'm remarkably insincere
Incredibly insincere
Totally insincere

Let me sleep so my teeth won't grind
Hear a sound from a voice inside
In the darkest hole, you'd be well advised
Not to plan my funeral 'fore the body dies, yeah
Let the sun never blind your eyes
Let me sleep so my teeth won't grind
Hear a sound from a voice inside
Let the sun never blind your eyes
Let me sleep so my teeth won't grind
Hear a sound from a voice inside

I love you and I'm coming back bitch
I think I should say something
I can't see you, I can't feel you, I can't, I can't
Wash my face, cut out my teeth and tell me to grin
My gums are bleeding
My gums are bleeding
I hate you, I hate you, I hate you
Calling
Don't forget your sheep
First go up for air
Get a fucking haircut
Bring up the fleet
Go fuck yourself
What about
Rae Dong Chung, Rae Dong Chung, Rae Dong Chung, Rae Dong Chung, Rae Dong Chung
Get something, get, get them, get them
Get the fuckin' midget
Get the midget, get the midget

Kiss the midget, kiss the midget, kiss the midget, kiss the midget

There comes a time
Got no patience to search
For peace of mind
Layin' low
Want to take it slow
No more hiding or
Disguising truths I've sold
Everyday it's something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself
No excuses, then I know
It's okay
Had a bad day
Hands are bruised from
Breaking rocks all day
Drained and blue
I bleed for you
You think it's funny, well
You're drowning in it too
Everyday it's something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself
No excuses, then I know
Yeah, it's fine
We'll walk down the line
Leave our rain, a cold
Trade for warm sunshine
You my friend
I will defend
And if we change, well I
Love you anyway
Everyday it's something
Hits me all so cold
Find me sittin' by myself
No excuses, then I know

And then remove another too
Painted words adorn the walls
Echoing untrue
(I feel cold)
Promises abound
You rarely find it to begin
Maybe I'm afraid
To let you all the way in
(I guess so)
I excuse myself
I'm used to my little cell
I amuse myself
In my very own private hell
Lately I'm beside myself
Pretending, unconcerned
Standing on a corner
Where I threw you on a turn
(I'll move on)
Flowers on a cross remain
Mark an ending scene
Damn it all if blood you spill
Turn the grass more green
(Life is short)
I excuse myself
I'm used to my little cell
I amuse myself
In my very own private hell

With head high and eyes alert

We who are of good nature and intention,
But cannot touch on the dark
Recesses of memory
And pain learned, so come walk
With me, feel the pain,
And release it..."

Worn eroded pride
Saddened 10 miles wide
I'm gonna let it slide

And I'm Waken Up From Another Dream Of You
When I'm On The Road, Once Again It Seems
All that's Left Behind, Is A Chain Of Broken Dreams
But You Know I Love You
Yes I Love You, Oh.... I Love You....
How I Wish That Love, was all We Need To Live
What A Life We'd Have, Cause I've Got So Much To Give
But It Seems So Wrong, Deep Inside My Heart
That The Dollar Sign Should Be Keeping Us Apart
But You Know I Love
Yes I Love You.....Ohhh I Love You
And If Only I Could Find My Way Back To The Time
When The Problems Of This Life it Did not Cross your Minds
And All The Answers could be Found In Children's Nursery Rhymes
And I'd Come Running Back To You, I'd Come Running Back To You
But You Know We Can't Live On Dreams Alone
And To Pay The Rent, I Must Leave You All Alone
And Though I Made My Choice Many Years Ago
And now This Traveling Life Is The Only One I Know
But You Know I Love You
Yes I Love You, Oh I Love You
But You Know I Love You
Yes I Love You, Oh I Love You...

I'm drowning in a river of my tears
When all my will is gone you hold me sway

You pull me like the moon pulls on the tide
You know just where I keep my better side
What days have come to keep us far apart
A broken promise or a broken heart
Now all the bonnie birds have wheeled away
I need you at the dimming of the day
Come the night you're only what I want
Come the night you could be my confidant
Come the night you're only what I want
Come the night you could be my confidant
I see you on the street in company
Why don't you come and ease your mind with me
I'm living for the night we steal away
I need you at the dimming of the day
I need you at the dimming of the day

Alison Krauss | Faraway Land | /a/alison+krauss/faraway+land_20521755.html | When years seem like days to me
No time on my hands
I run away to a place in me
To a faraway land
When home seems so far from me
Heaven's lights look dim
It's just as far as my deepest heart
Where my heart's Father lives
His quiet voice speaking in silence everyday
If I will only listen to the words He has to say
I'll walk in His Spirit, see Him in my face
I will live, 'cause He will live in my place
When life seems so hard to bear
When shadows look real
The circumstance is your Father's care
Go by faith not what you feel
If you have been running too
Stop now in your tracks
Turn again to the one in you
Put your burden on His back
His quiet voice speaking in silence everyday
If I will only listen to the words He has to say
I'll walk in His Spirit, see Him in your face
I will live, 'cause He will live in my place
When years seem like days to me
No time on my hands
I run away to a place in me
To a faraway land

Alison Krauss | Foolish Heart | /a/alison+krauss/foolish+heart_20194950.html | I think I'll take my foolish heart, my friend, and head right for the door.
There'll be a better world waitin' if I do.
'Cause I know I've been down this road a time or two before,
The only time I let my heart turn to you.
Now, I won't be blue with dreams that won't come true.
I'll take my heart, and head right for the door.
Still somethin' deep inside keeps tellin' me to make the sacrifice,
And askin' me to walk the extra mile.
I've walked it now to many times with freedom for the price.
Too many times to fight back tears behind my smiles.
Now, I won't be blue with dreams that won't come true.
I'll take my heart, and head right for the door.
I know I must seem quite unkind to wander off tonight
And leave the moon up above to hold your gaze.
It's only that my foolish heart is bound with foolish pride.
Maybe some day I'll see the sunshine upon your face.
Now I won't be blue with dreams that won't come true.
I'll take my heart, and head right for the door.
I'll take my heart, and head right for the door

To have my fortune read
I didn't what to tell her
I had a dizzy feeling in my head
Said she'd take a look at my palm
Said "Son do you feel kind of warm?"
And she looked into her crystal ball
Said "You're in love."
Said it could not be so,
Not with all the girls I know.
Said when the next one arrives
Looking into her eyes.
I left there in a hurry
Much to my big surprise
The next thing I discovered
The fortune teller told me lies
So I ran back to that woman
Mad as I could be
Told her I didn't see nobody
How she made a fool out of me
At last something shook me
As if it came down from above
And now the fortune teller
And I fell in love

All I need is you here with me...

Alison Krauss | Gravity | /a/alison+krauss/gravity_20521753.html | I left home when I was seventeen
I just grew tired of falling down
And I'm sure I was told
The allure of the road
Would be all I found
And all the answers that I started with
Turned out questions in the end
So years roll on by
And just like the sky
The road never ends
And the people who love me still ask me
When are you coming back to town
And I answer quite frankly
When they stop building roads
And all God needs is gravity to hold me down

Here comes goodbye, tonight
Put a hold on all your lies, it's just not right
It comes as no surprise, this time
Any fool would realize, here comes goodbye
Better take some time to talk it over again with me
Better get all your things together now if you leave
It's killin' me, oh darlin' can't you see
Here comes that same old line, here comes goodbye
Here comes goodbye, tonight
Put a hold on all your lies, it's just not right
It comes as no surprise, this time
Any fool would realize, here comes goodbye
I can hear your footsteps movin' slowly across my floor
I can see your shadow look back at me outside my door
What'cha waitin' for? Oh darlin' I know for sure
Here comes that same old line, here comes goodbye
Here comes goodbye, tonight
Put a hold on all your lies, it's just not right
It comes as no surprise, this time

Alison Krauss | I Can Let Go Now | /a/alison+krauss/i+can+let+go+now_20006144.html | It was so right
It was so wrong
Almost at the same time
The pain and ache
A heart can take
No one really knows
But when the memories cling and take you there
Till you no longer care
You can let go now
It's not right for me
To cling to you
Somehow I just needed time
From what was to be
It's not like me
To hold somebody down
But I was tossed high by love
Almost never came down
Only to land
Where no love is found
And I'm no longer bound
I can let go now

Alison Krauss | If I Give My Heart | /a/alison+krauss/if+i+give+my+heart_20521740.html | If I give my heart to you tonight
Will you still be by my side?
Or will you be gone with the morning sun
Like a restless bird in flight?
Take me in your arms
Let the love you seek
Wash away your sorrow,
Let the morning be ours to keep.
And if I should tell you of the love that I feel
Will you still be there for me
Or will I awake to a faded love searching for freedoms gain
Take me in your arms
Let the love you seek
Wash away your sorrow,
Let the morning be ours to keep.
Take me in your arms
Let the love you seek
Wash away your sorrow,
Let the morning be ours to keep.
If I give my heart to you tonight
Will you still be by my side?
Or will you be gone with the morning sun
Like a bird who yearns to fly?

Alison Krauss | In The Palm Of Your Hand | /a/alison+krauss/in+the+palm+of+your+hand_20006133.html | If I could have the world and all it owns
A thousand kingdoms, a thousand thrones
If all the earth were mine to hold
With wealth my only goal
I'd spend my gold on selfish things
Without the love that Your life brings
Just a little bit more is all I'd need
Till life was torn from me
I'd rather be in the palm of Your hand
Though rich or poor I may be
Faith can see right through the circumstance
Sees the forest in spite of the trees
Your grace provides for me
If I should walk the streets, no place to sleep
No faith in promises You keep
I'd have no way to buy my bread
With a bottle for my bed
But if I trust the one who died for me
Who shed His blood to set me free
If I live my life to trust in You
Your grace will see me through
I'd rather be in the palm of Your hand
Though rich or poor I may be
Faith can see right through the circumstance
Sees the forest in spite of the trees
If I could have the world...
If I could have the world and all it owns

Alison Krauss | It Doesn't Matter | /a/alison+krauss/it+doesnt+matter_20006146.html | It doesn't matter what I want
It doesn't matter what I need
It doesn't matter if I cry
Don't matter if I bleed
You've been on a road
Don't know where it goes or where it leads
It doesn't matter what I want
It doesn't matter what I need
If you've made up your mind to go
I won't beg you to stay
You've been in a cage
Throw you to the wind you fly away
It doesn't matter what I want
It doesn't matter what I need
It doesn't matter if I cry
Doesn't matter if I bleed
Feel the sting of tears
Falling on this face you've loved for years

Alison Krauss | It's Over | /a/alison+krauss/its+over_20006119.html | The nights are so lonely and the days pass me by
True love has faded, left me behind
So we'll just move along and stop wasting time
It's over all over now
It's over, end of the line
It's over and your doin' fine
It's over and over and over, I'm asking why
You're leaving it's over now
Gone are the love songs that only we knew
Robbed by the cold wind that sings the night through
Gone is the sweet love, tried but untrue
It's over all over now
It's over, end of the line
It's over and my desperate heart is still trying to find some way,
Hoping you'll stay
Cause it's over, all over now
It's over, all over now

Alison Krauss | Jesus Help Me To Stand | /a/alison+krauss/jesus+help+me+to+stand_20006110.html | Through trials, troubles and care
I know Jesus my savior is there
Giving me faith through darkest days
Keeping me on the narrow way
Jesus savior, help me each day
Fill me with hope, fill me with faith
Darkness retreats at the touch of Your hand
Jesus savior, help me to stand
Jesus lived through darkest pain
Rejected by men, despising the shame
Man of sorrows, acquainted with grief
He gave His life so we may be free
Jesus savior, help me each day
Fill me with hope, fill me with faith
Darkness retreats at the touch of Your hand
Jesus savior, help me to stand
I know that Jesus died for me
Canceled my debt at Calvary
Rose from the dead, unlocked Heaven's door
Trust in His love and live evermore
Jesus savior, help me each day
Fill me with hope, fill me with faith
Darkness retreats at the touch of Your hand
Jesus savior, help me to stand

Alison Krauss | Jubilee | /a/alison+krauss/jubilee_20597873.html | The sun came up on Monday morn,
The world was all in flame.
It's all a mortal man can do,
To make it right again.
Swing and turn Jubilee
Live and learn Jubilee
The moon came up I stood my ground,
And swore to not give in.
To never rest and do my best,
To rid this world of sin.
Swing and turn jubilee
Live and learn jubilee
The one who spoke cried tears of hope,
That we might change in time.
And when I looked into her eyes,
The fear I saw was mine.
Swing and turn jubilee
Live and learn jubilee
The time had come to travel on,
I made my way alone.
My soul will mend at journey's end,
This road will take me home.
Swing and turn jubilee
Live and learn jubilee

Alison Krauss | Killing The Blues | /a/alison+krauss/killing+the+blues_20658579.html | Leaves were falling, just like embers,
In colors red and gold, they set us on fire
Burning just like moonbeams in our eyes.
[Chorus]
Somebody said they saw me, swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud, killing the blues.
Now I'm guilty of something
I hope you never do
Because there is nothing
Any sadder than losing yourself in love.
[Chorus]
And then you've ask me, just to leave you
To set out on my own
And get what I needed.
You want me to find what I've already had.
[Chorus x2]

Alison Krauss | Lay Down Beside Me | /a/alison+krauss/lay+down+beside+me_20662426.html | I've spent my life
Lookin' for you
Findin' my way
Wasn't easy to do
But I knew there was you
All the while
And it's been worth
Every mile
[Chorus]
So, lay down beside me
Love me and hide me
And kiss all the hurtin'
Of this world away
Hold me so close
That I feel your heart beat
And don't ever wander away
Mornings and evenings
All were the same
There was no music
Till I heard your name
I knew when I saw you smile
And now I can rest for a while
[Chorus]
And hold me so close
That I feel your heart beat
And don't ever wander away
Love me and hide me
Till I feel your heart beat

Alison Krauss | Lay My Burden Down | /a/alison+krauss/lay+my+burden+down_20457307.html | Gonna lay my burden down
Lay my body in the ground
Cold clay against my skin
But I don't care at all
Can't seem to find my piece of mind
So with the earth I'll lay entwined
Six feet underground
My feet are warm and dry
When I get to the other side
I'll put your picture way up high
But I'm not coming back to you
It's just too far
If I was cast off on the sea
Would you come and look for me
Or would you just let me sink
Beneath the waves so blue
What if I had learned to fly
Fly all night till day drew nigh
Touch down upon a branch and
Scan the crowd for you
When I touch my feet on the land
I'll kiss your lips and take you in
But you know I'm not here to stay
It's just too far
Darling can't you hear me cry
My bones are broke
My tongue is tied
The moon is swaying back and forth
Against the navy sky
Is all I can see
My body is trembling on my knees
Just have a little mercy on me
Run away and hide
When I sleep the angels sing
But I cannot hear a thing
Eyes close
Dreaming of the better days gone by
When I wake the trumpets play
And I'm standing at the gates
Fall down and joy
I know my race has just been won
When I was young my momma would say
Well life is hard, but that's O.K.
If you can make it through the day
It's not that far
No, it's not that far

Alison Krauss | Lie Awake | /a/alison+krauss/lie+awake_20909432.html | I wanna run away
Don't come out looking 'round
Too busy dealing with it on my own
He's right behind me
Please God I can't be found
Don't cast another stone
Feel out the night, until the sunrise
The city tells me not to go 'til dawn
And if he wakes that's when my heart breaks
And I'm as good as gone
How do I lie awake now
When I know I've got to be moving on
How do I lie awake now
When nothing's right and nothing's wrong
And in the end
Will we make our amends
Just like we're face to face another dawn
And in the light, or when the moon shines
Will you take me on home?
How do I lie awake now
When I know I've got to be moving on
How do I lie awake now
When nothing's right and nothing's wrong
How do I lie awake now
When nothing's right and nothing's wrong
How do I lie awake now
When I know I've got to be moving on
How do I lie awake now
When nothing's right and nothing's wrong

This is your child, I'm tired and sore
Oh my Lord, can you hear me?
I need your love, my soul is poor
I can hear, the angels singing
I can see those pearly gates
Oh my Lord, can you hear me?
I need a place where I can rest
Oh my Lord, I can't remember
When I first said, "Come in my life,"
For I have lived my life in darkness,
My whole world is filled with strife
I can hear, the angels singing
I can see those pearly gates
Oh my Lord, can you hear me?
I need a place where I can rest
I can hear, the angels singing
I can see those pearly gates
Oh my Lord, can you hear me?
I need a place where I can rest
Oh my Lord, can you hear me?
I need a place where I can rest.

As free as the wind blowing down the road
Loved by many, hated by none

You know what you've done
Not a care in the world, not a worry in sight
Everything is gonna be alright 'cause
You're the lucky one
You're the lucky one always having fun
A jack of all trades, a master of none
You look at the world with a smiling eye
And laugh at the devil as his train rolls by
Give you a song and a one night stand
You'll bee looking at a happy man 'cause
You're the lucky one
Well, you're blessed I guess
By never knowing which road you're choosing
To you the next best thing
To playing and winning is playing and losing

Don't ask you why, when, where or how

You'll bee looking at a happy man 'cause
You're the lucky one

Alison Krauss | Maybe | /a/alison+krauss/maybe_20006156.html | Yesterday the odds were stacked
In favor of my expectations
Flyin' above the rest,
Never fallin' from the nest
Tuesday came and went
And now I'm in a little situation
Maybe it's for the best
I can live alone, I guess
[Chorus]
Maybe I can stand alone
Maybe I'm strong as stone
Even though the bird has flown
Maybe he'll fly on home
Forgive me if I'm keeping you apart
From better conversation
I'm hung up on all my doubt
Trying to sort the whole thing out
Tell me that I'm smart enough
To deal with all the information
Spinning inside my head
Every word he ever said
[Chorus: x2]

Alison Krauss | On The Borderline | /a/alison+krauss/on+the+borderline_20269370.html | There's a chill on this evening, nights right for greaving,
Darkness surrounds him as he wanders alone
He walked past the dim lights, the pathways and street lights
They remind him, of nights long ago,
When his love was strong and his muscles hard, His whiskey throat was barley
marred,
Seeking misfortune in the lies that he told, Then a brokin heart bought him to
his knees,
In the hour of his greatest need, Lost and forsaken by the love, he could not
hold
[Chorus:]
On the Border line of love again, Its bound to make you pay
On the Border line, we'll make our stand, Then watch it fall away
And he stands in quiet solitude, The nights reflects upon his mood,
Seeking the vision that had once been so clear, When he felt the touch of his
women's love
His pounding heart was warm and young, Now locked inside him with his anger
and fear
As he moves on slowly, past the trees, Down the path way home through fallen
leaves
He can't believe, how he'd sunken so low, So he learned to live with his
injured pride
His purple heart hidden, deep inside, The only reward, for a love he could not
hold
[Chorus 2x]

Alison Krauss | Paper Airplane | /a/alison+krauss/paper+airplane_20907320.html | I've put it all behind me
Nothin' left to do or doubt
Some may say
But every silver linin'
Always seems to have a cloud
That comes my way
Anticipated pleasure
Or unexpected pain
No choice I feel
Love is hard to measure
Hidden in the rain
That's why you'll find me
Here all alone and still wonderin' why
Waitin' inside for the cold to get colder
And here where it's clear that I've wasted my time
Hopin' to fly 'cause it's almost over now
People come together
People go their own way
Love conquers few
And I'll do whatever
I'll say what I need to say
Just not for you
How many days should I smile with a frown
'Cause you're not around with the sun on your shoulders?
And how many nights must I wake up alone
And know in my soul that it's almost over now?
Love is like a paper airplane
Flyin' in the folded dent
Ridin' high, dippin' low
But innocence is fair game
I'm hopin' I can hold it in
Our love will die, I know

Alison Krauss | Pastures Of Plenty | /a/alison+krauss/pastures+of+plenty_20521727.html | Well, it's always we ramble, this river and I
All along your green valleys, I work till I die
My land I'll defend with my life need it be
'Cause my pastures of plenty must always be free
Green pastures of plenty from dry desert ground
From the Grand Coulee Dam where the waters run down
Every state in this union us migrants have been
Lord, we come with the dust and we go with the wind
California, Arizona, I harvest your crops
Then it's on up North to Oregon to gather your hogs
Take the beet from your ground, cut the grapes from your vine
Just to place on your table your that light, sparkling wine

Alison Krauss | Shield Of Faith | /a/alison+krauss/shield+of+faith_20006114.html | Sometimes I'm battle weary
I forget to use my shield
The arrows pierce my armor
And I stumble in the filed
A shield won't do much good if it's hangin' by your side
Keep the shield of faith before you if you want to stay alive
I'll think my life is over
But the Lord he comes to me
He heals my wounded spirit
And he sets me on my feet
A shield won't do much good if it's hangin' by your side
Keep the shield of faith before you if you want to stay alive
Sometimes your battle weary
But the war's already won
Keep your head and hold your shield high
'Til your days of life are done
A shield won't do much good if it's hangin' by your side
Keep the shield of faith before you if you want to stay alive
Keep the shield of faith before you if you want to stay alive

'Cause you never stay more than a minute, so I'm told
I know you're just doing your job
But what am I supposed to do?
When all I want for Christmas, darling, is to be with you
I watch you shimmy down the chimney, baby
I watch you fill up my stocking
But when I offer you some Christmas greetings
You just keep on walking, yeah
I'm not asking for a miracle, just a night
And if you just look in my eyes, you just might
There'll be no other woman who'll treat you like I can
(Come on over here)
I'll be your loving, darling, you'll be my loving man
Oh, I watch you shimmy down the chimney, baby
I watch you fill up my stocking
But when I offer you some Christmas greetings
You just keep on walking
I watch you shimmy down the chimney, baby
I watch you fill up my stocking
But when I offer you some Christmas greetings
You just keep on walking
(Keep on walking)
I watch you shimmy down the chimney, baby
I watch you shimmy down the chimney, baby
You just keep on walking
I watch you shimmy down the chimney, baby
I watch you fill up my stocking
I watch you shimmy down the chimney, baby

Alison Krauss | That Kind Of Love | /a/alison+krauss/that+kind+of+love_20316764.html | Who would sell their soul for love
Or waste one tear on compromise?
Should be easy enough
To know a heartache in disguise
But the heart rules the mind
And the going gets rough
Pride takes the fall
When you find that kind of love
I can't help feeling like a fool
Since I lost that place inside
Where my heart knew its way
And my soul was ever wise
Once innocence was lost
There was not faith enough
Still my heart held on
When it found that kind of love
Though beauty is rare enough
Still we trust
Somehow we'll find it there
With no guarantee
It seems to me
At least it should be fair
But if it's only tears and pain
Isn't it still worth the cost
Like some sweet saving grace
Or a river we must cross
If we don't understand
What this life is made of
We learn the truth
When we find that kind of love
Cause when innocence is lost
There is not faith enough
We learn the truth
When we find that kind of love

Are far away
And I'm so blue,
What'll I do?
What'll I do when I
Am wondering who
Is kissing you,
What'll I do?
What'll I do with just
A photograph
To tell my troubles to?
When I'm alone
With only dreams of you
That won't come true,
What'll I do?
What'll I do with just
A photograph
To tell my troubles to?
When I'm alone
With only dreams of you
That won't come true,
What'll I do?

Alison Krauss | When God Dips His Pen Of Love In My Heart | /a/alison+krauss/when+god+dips+his+pen+of+love+in+my+heart_20006138.html | When God dips his pen of love in my heart
And he writes my soul a message he wants me to know
His spirit all divine fills a sinful soul of mine
When God dips his love in my heart
Well I said I wouldn't tell it to a livin' soul
How he brought salvation and he made me whole
But I found I couldn't hide such a love as Jesus did impart
Well he made me laugh and he made me cry, set my sinful soul on fire
When God dips his love in my heart
Well sometimes though the way is dreary, dark and cold
And some unburdened sorrow keeps me from the goal
I go to God in prayer, I can always find him there
To whisper sweet peace to my soul
Well I said I wouldn't tell it to a livin' soul
How he brought salvation and he made me whole
But I found I couldn't hide such a love as Jesus did impart
Well he made me laugh and he made me cry, set my sinful soul on fire
When God dips his love in my heart
He walked up every step of Calvary's rugged way
And gave his life completely to bring a better day
My life was steeped in sin but in love he took me in
His blood washed away every stain
I said I wouldn't tell it to a livin' soul
How he brought salvation and he made me whole
But I found I couldn't hide such a love as Jesus did impart
He made me laugh and he made me cry, set my sinful soul on fire
When God dips his love in my heart

You turn your head from the tears I've shed
Though your heart is untrue, who can blame you

Your vows were made in vain, although my love still remains
Though you broke my heart in two, who can blame you
Who can blame you, though your heart's untrue
When you say it's my fault anyway?
You turn your head from the tears I've shed
Though your heart is untrue, who can blame you

You turned your head from the tears I've shed

Who can blame you, though your heart's untrue

Wear your heart upon your sleeve
You make act like it don't matter
Keep me laughing while you leave
But burning bridges won't get me back
If you change your mind some day
Why can't we turn this scene around
Before you walk away?
Will you be leaving, leaving me today?
Like the ocean leaves us waiting on the sand
Crumbling in our hand
I can't live this scene again
You may turn away in silence
While the tears run down your face
Say there's nothing left to bind us
Leaving love without a trace
But if I loved you well
You'd soon find out why your new love falls some day
Why can't we burn this heartache down
Before you walk away?
Will you be leaving, leaving me today?
Like the ocean leaves us waiting on the sand
Crumbling in our hand
I can't live this scene again
Will you be leaving, leaving me today?
Like the ocean leaves us waiting on the sand
Crumbling in our hand
I can't live this scene again

The nights so long without you my love
And when god calls for you I'm left alone
But we will meet in heaven above

Fond memories I'll keep of happy ways
That on earth we trod
And when I come we will walk hand in hand
As one in heaven in the family of god
Oh my darling
My darling
My heart breaks as you take your long journey

Standing by the train,
Looks like you're comin home to stay.
It's been quite a while since you've seen him,
Now, inside you smile against the rain,
Cause you still feel the same.
But, you're gonna cry, and search for the reason why,
Carry your pain and you'll finally go insane.
Uh, cause you, baby,
Whoa, you been gone much too long.
You can't believe there's no one there to greet ya now,
You can't believe that no one cares,
To take your hand, you want your man.
But, you're gonna cry, and search for the reason why,
Carry your pain and you'll finally go insane.
Uh, cause you, baby,
Whoa, you been gone much too long.
Yeah, baby, much too long.

You went away a long time ago.

Allman Brothers Band | Brothers Of The Road | /a/allman+brothers+band/brothers+of+the+road_20006521.html | Silent shadows of the night
Faded with the morning light
We just wrote another song
Maybe a word or two is wrong
There's so much that could be said
It's hard to write it in a line
But when the final word is read
Maybe something could be said
For all the brothers of the road
Just like you, we bear a heavy load
Been through hell and back again
If we don't lose we're bound to win
Somehow they gave it all a name
Just like a southern hurricane
We play our music like a storm
They say a brand new sound was born
We're all brothers of the road
Just like you, we bear a heavy load
Been through hell and back again
If we don't lose we're bound to win
Some of us fell along the way
We came together, not too proud to pray
But the music must go on
So there's no one left out there all alone
We're just brothers of the road
Casting shadows in the night
Big wheels rolling on and on
But everything's gonna be all right

Allman Brothers Band | Demons | /a/allman+brothers+band/demons_20006577.html | Another day in the life of a stranger
Surrounded by four walls that can't be seen
He knows this dude that lives uptown and he delivers
He often calls him for that perfect dream
But oh, he's got his demons
And they stay right by his side
Through his everyday hell, yeah
He loves his wine and his pretty women
He buys them everything just to stay around
He's got it made cause his daddy's got a bundle
He seldom reaches out but there's no one to be found
Except oh, he's still got them demons
And they stay right by his side
In his man-made hell
Oh, he's got his demons
And they by his side
Another dar in the life of the lonely
All alone in a sold out crowd
He can always buy some cheap thrills with his money
His world of silence has become much too loud
But ho, don't forget them demons
They're still right by his side
Causing all kinds of hell, yeah

Allman Brothers Band | Let Me Ride | /a/allman+brothers+band/let+me+ride_20006699.html | Well, now, times got hard
And I didn't draw the card I needed
So, I proceeded to bang it on down the line
Hitchhike, turnpike
And if you got room, won't you let me ride?
Just as far as you're going
And, Lord knowing, I'll be much obliged
There was a light rain falling
I started recalling how lonesome a man can be
Feeling a chill when over the hill
Came a brand new baby blue Cadillac
Stop on a dime
I threw my guitar in the back, and I climbed inside
Big blue eyes said, "Hey, boy, don't you want a ride?"
I said, "To Birmingham, Alabama
Or to Nashville, Tennessee will do just fine with me
Don't you know what I mean?
I'm coming from New Orleans
Now, hey
Mama, won't you let me ride?"
Well, now, black fur coat, diamond ring
Shining like something I ain't ever seen
My old guitar and a roadside bar
Walked in the door looking like a movie queen
There was a honky-tonk jukebox, hardwood floor
She said, "I ain't ever seen nothing like this before."
I said, "That's all right, mama, won't you let me ride?"
On down to Birmingham, Alabama
Or to Nashville, Tennessee will do fine with me
Don't you know what I mean?
I'm coming from New Orleans
Now, hey
Mama, won't you let me ride?"

Need someone's arms, to love and squeeze me real tight.

Need someone to stand up and tell me when I'm lyin
When the lights are low, and when it's time to go,
I need your love so bad.
So give it up, and bring it on home to me.
Oh you can write it on a paper so it can be read to me.
Tell me you love me, stop drivin' me mad,
Cause I need your love so bad.

Cause I need your love so bad.

Allman Brothers Band | Never Knew How Much | /a/allman+brothers+band/never+knew+how+much_10007577.html | By gregg allman
(c) 1980, 1981, 1994 arista records, inc.
Transcribed by sam carle
Time and time again I've felt these wall's of plaster,
Closing in,
And more than once I've felt that lonely lonely feeling,
Wondering why and where I've been,
Just about the time, I think I can't hold on,
You're always there to keep me hanging on and I say,
I never knew how much a man needed a woman
(no I never)
I never knew how much a boy needed a girl
(needed a girl)
I never knew how much I needed you
Day after day I join the rat race,
Tryin' to make the most of it,
I keep on falling down down the ladder,
Still trying to stay on top of it,
Just when I was sure,
Nothing could get no better,
Oh I realize,
I still love you more than ever,
[Chorus:]
Today I watch the sun set on the freeway,
Strangled on the poison air,
But miles beyond, on the other end,
I know, you'll always be waiting there,
Girl you treat me,
With your kindest hand,
And in my heart, in my mind,
And I'm so glad
[Chorus:]

Man I want a continnetial spare and some white chrome wheels
And power steering and uh a power brakes
And a powerful motor with a jet off take
Some nice cool air condition and some nice warm heat
And a big old feather bedroom pillow in the back seat

Allman Brothers Band | Sail Away | /a/allman+brothers+band/sail+away_20006629.html | Sunset colors, all across the bay.
Finds me here alone at the end of one more day.
Skipping stones across the water.
Wonder why I ever thought you'd stay.
Palm trees sway in the evening breeze.
Sing a lullabye of sweet love to me.
Sailboat, sail away into the amber sky.
And I wonder why I ever thought you'd stay.
Sail on, sail away.
May all your dreams come true one day.
Sail on, sail away.
I wonder why I ever thought you'd stay.
Sail on, sail away.
May all your dreams come true one day.
Sail on, sail away.
I wonder why I ever thought you'd stay.
I wonder why I ever thought you'd stay.
Sail on, sail away.
Sail on, sail away.
Sail on, sail away.
Sail on, sail away.

Allman Brothers Band | Sailin' 'cross The Devil's Sea | /a/allman+brothers+band/sailin+cross+the+devils+sea_20006483.html | Lately I don't know where I went wrong,
But the spell of that pretty young girl is far too strong,
Between her fine perfume and angel face,
My whole world became another place.
The dark side of her intelligence was so strong,
Soon there'll be no difference in right or wrong.
Next thing I know I had a key that unlocked her door.
I could not wait to hear the siren song,
The beginning of the end of my happy home.
Sailin', sailing 'cross the devil's sea, oooh, hooo,
too blind in love, too blind to see.
Heard them say the payback's double-fold,
Just can't seem to remember who I bought and sold.
I'll probably still be here when you come around next year,
Trying to climb from this deep dark hole.
I'll be damned if I just don't feel I'm growin' old.
Sailing, sailing 'cross the devil's sea, ohhh, hooo,
Too blind in love, too blind to see.
Cause she was eviler than evil, slippery like a fox,
set me up with pain and woe and, I swear it won't seem to stop.
If I could just remove her hook from deep from within my soul,
Swear I'll leave and not come back, just let me out that door.
Sailin', sailing 'cross the devil's sea, ohhh, hooo,
Too blind in love, too blind to see.

I know you've had your troubles too.
Sometimes when you need a little sunshine,
It keeps rainin' down on you.
But I'm not gonna let it get me down,
Keep on pullin', things are gonna come around.
Shine it on,
Shine it on.
Little blue-eyed woman,
She made me feel so fine.
She got what she wanted,
Then she moved on down the line.
Yes I know about the pain,
Tears are gonna fall,
Just like rain.
[Chorus]
Shine it on,
Look around you see what's goin' on.
Shine it on,
Before you end up out there on your own.
Don't let some rainy day, steal your heart away,
You got to go on,
It's just the dark before the dawn,
Shine it on.
Shine it on,
Look around you see what's goin' on.
Shine it on,
Before you end up out there on your own.
Don't let some rainy day, steal your heart away,
Shine it on,
Look around you see what's goin' on.
Shine it on,
Before you end up out there on your own.
Shine it on, oh baby.
Shine it on, shine it on, shine it on,
Shine it on.

My life's a revolving door
With no way out and no way in

Could you take a chance one more time
Maybe we could start all over again
Straight from the heart

Don't give up before we start

I wish I could say that it's not true
Love is so hard to find
But I never took the time
I never let you in
Please let me try again
Straight from the heart
I thought I knew about love
But I didn't know at all
Didn't take the time to see
Until I started to fall
Straight from the heart
Straight from the heart

I don't see her 'round no more
She used to be all over me
It ain't like that no more
Sally had the best game there was in town
Now the good girl just can't be found
Whatever happened to good time Sally
I don't see her 'round no more
The heat is on, everybody has gone underground
The heat is on, everybody hiding out just like Jesse James
My old home town
Lord, it don't seem the same
Well, I walked in this place, I was just lookin' for a game
Everybody here wanted to know my name
I said hush, hush up your mouth, I'll introduce my own self
To this house
I was born in the back woods, I was raised up like a slave
Having me a good time now is all I crave
I spotted me a barroom queen, skin tight blue jeans
That same old midnight show
I took her to the side and I said I won't be satisfied
Until you tell me everything you know
Whatever happened to big time Buddy
I don't see him 'round no more
I heard tell that they got him in jail
But I don't know what they got him for
They caught him with an airplane
Talkin' 'bout some cocaine
Nobody knows for sure
Whatever happened to good time Buddy
I don't see hem 'round no more
The heat is on, everybody has gone underground
The heat is on, everybody hiding out just like Jesse James
My old home town
Lord, it don't seem the same

I pulled into Nazareth, was feeling 'bout half past DEAD
I just need some place where I can lay my head
Hey, mister, can you tell me, where a man might find a bed
He just grinned and shook my hand, "No" was all he said.
Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny, and you put the load right on me
I picked up my bags, I went looking for a place to hide
Then I saw old Carmen and the devil walking side by side
I said, "Hey Carmen, c'mon, let's go downtown"
She said, "I gotta go, but my friend can stick around"
Chorus
Go down, Miss moses, ain't nothin you can say
It's just old Luke, and Luke's waiting on judgement day
Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Annalee
He said, "Do me a favor, so, won't you stay and keep Annalee comapany"
Chorus
Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog
Said, "I will fix your rag, if you'll take Jack, my dog"
I said, "Wait a minute Chester-you know, I'm a peaceful man"
He said, "That's ok, boy, won't you feed him when you can"
Chorus
Get you cannonball, now to take me down the line
My bag is sinking low, and I do believe it's time
To get back to miss Fanny, you know she's the only one
Who sent me here, with her regards for everyone

Claiming to be my long lost friend
I can tell you're wearing thin
You're trying to play those same old evil tricks again
No, no nobody
Not even you, babe
No, no nobody
Is gonna do the things you used to do
A wise man tried to warn me
But I would not hear a word
Just can't say that I feel badly
About all the bridges I have burned
No, no nobody
Not even you, babe
No, no nobody
Is gonna do the things you used to do
If you knew someone like I know you
You can hear their footsteps
And know exactly who they are
You ain't worthy my time or money
Much less my heart
Yet here you are again
Who the hell do you think you are
You've got a million dollar smile
And a half-a-dollar soul
You're a living lesson baby
And your story's getting old
No, no nobody
Not even you, babe
No, no nobody
Is gonna do the things you used to do

Allman Brothers Band | Two Rights | /a/allman+brothers+band/two+rights_20006547.html | You're coming back into my life
After all this time apart
After my heart has been broken in two
Now you want to turn around and go back through
All the hurt, all the pain
I'm not sure it could ever be the same
'Cause two rights can't make up for one wrong
I've spend so many nights alone
One kiss can't make it disappear
Even though you're here tonight
Baby two rights can't make up for hurting someone
I guess you think it's all a game
Someone gets hurt, someone gets blamed
You don't seem to realize
There's someone else
In my eyes
'Cause two rights can't make up for one wrong
I've spend so many nights alone
One kiss can't make it disappear
Even though you're here tonight
Baby two rights can't make up for hurting someone
You're the one who wanted to play the field
Now you can't find a love that's real
It's your game, but it's no fun
When you end up the lonely one
'Cause two rights can't make up for one wrong
I've spend so many nights alone
One kiss can't make it disappear
Even though you're here tonight
Baby two rights can't make up for hurting someone

Allman Brothers Band | Woman Across The River | /a/allman+brothers+band/woman+across+the+river_20765201.html | Across the river a good woman cried
All because a foolish man lied
She gave up everything
Everything that money could buy
But the man told so many lies
There's another man over there
That woman across the river
Sweet woman across the river, she was mine
Word got around that he had jilted her
Men came running from near and far
Should've never been so foolish
Guess I'll never
But the man that's got her now
He's a lucky so and so
That woman across the river
Sweet woman across the river, she was mine
I remember the other day, about a week ago
She said, "I don't even want to talk to you
'Cause I don't love you anymore"
That woman across the river
Sweet woman across the river, she was mine
Across the river a good woman cried
All because a foolish man lied
She gave up everything, tried to keep him satisfied
But the man told so many lies
There's another man over there
That woman across the river
That woman across the river
That woman across the river
Sweet woman across the river, she was mine
