Slow Road-The journey
Down the Track
Well I'm rollin
Rollin down the track
And I'm leavin
I ain't never comin back
Down on my luck
Last in the race
Everything changed
When I saw your face
I've thrown the dice
Rolled them bones
Like every gambler
Feelin... So alone
I'll take a chance
Blanket roll
Eight rolled the hard way
Is the only way I know
Place and buy
An easy ten
No use complaining
‘Bout the state I'm in
Railroad nine
I'm your best friend
Beg steal or borrow
I got nothing to lend
Roll it slow
Roll it tight
Two shoes are red
Against the fading light
My hands are high
I'll bet to win
I'll let ‘em fly
And take the devil with my sin
Coming Home
Friday afternoon and I just got paid
Gonna get my bike and go see my babe
Got the sun in my eyes and the road ahead
Feel the wind in my face and my blood running red
Aint gonna check my speed
Cuz I know what I need
I’m gonna be there soon now baby
Wait for me
Blue sky day not a cloud in sight
Gonna go down to the dance tonight
Speeding down the road and she's on my mind
Running through a red light running through a stop sign
Ain’t gonna check my speed
Cuz I know what I need
I’m gonna be there soon now baby
Wait for me …..
My baby in her blue jeans fitting tight
Listening to crickets in the dead of the night
Laying in the grass on a summers day
Wishing everything could always be this way
Aint gonna check my speed
Cuz I know what I need
I’m gonna be there soon now baby
Wait for me …..
Days so long
And you’re on my mind
Baby when you’re gone
Oh the sun don’t shine
Girl you’re all that I needed
Through those lonely nights
Nothing more I could ask for
Now the time is right….
Cutting Loose
No work and a hard rain
Gonna get me down
Such a drag and a dog day
I'm a losing ground
Cutting Loose ...
Cut me Loose ....
Sitting round on a heartache
Living upside down
I'm afraid of a shadow
I'm afraid of a sound
Cutting Loose ...
Cut me Loose ....
Got a slow on the road
Keep on tying me down
Cuz I'm a gonna cut loose
Ain't nothing gonna stop me now
Cutting Loose ...
Cut me Loose ....
Can't wait for tomorrow
I'm outward bound
Cuz I'm a gonna cut loose
Ain't nothing gonna stop me now
One Day
On my mind all the time
Drinking wine going blind
Too far gone to be seen
I dunno, just where I’ve been
So alone so uptight
Nothing wrong nothing right
One day at a time
One life on the line
One day at a time
Some day you’ll be mine
I can't win
I can't fight
I can't sleep
Through the night
Lord have mercy
See my plight
Can you lead me
To the light
One day at a time
One life on the line
Dark clouds in my mind
I wait for the sun to shine
She's so Fine
It’s early in the morning
And I wanna get to bed
Thoughts about my baby
Going round in my head
She’s so fine
Always on my mind ..…
Since I saw her in the corner
Now I’m thinking ‘bout her all the time
Tried to call my baby
Tried to get her on the phone
Wanna tell her that I love her
Cause I’m feeling so alone
Feel so fine ..
When she’s on the line
Since I saw her in the corner
Now I’m thinking ‘bout her all the time
Gonna see my baby
Gonna see her tonight
I’m gonna take her dancing
In the pale moonlight
Moves so fine …
She’s a mine all mine
Since I saw her in the corner
Now I’m thinking ‘bout her all the time
I’m looking at my baby
I’m a really lucky guy
If you could see my baby
Then you’d know the reason why
Looks so fine …
Almost blows my mind
Since I saw her in the corner
Now I’m thinking ‘bout her all the time
Five More Minutes
When I think about the future
I start to feel the pain
And I tell you my reason
That I won't ever see you again
When you told me you were leaving
I felt so uptight
And I tried to tell you baby
But I just can’t get it right
I got 5 more minutes to midnight
Before you walk outta that door
Only 5 more minutes to midnight
This old heart can't take anymore
If I could turn back time
And start all over again
I've been searching for an answer
But I don't know where to begin
When you told me you were leaving
I felt so uptight
And I tried to tell you baby
But I just can’t get it right
I got 5 more minutes to midnight
Before you walk outta that door
Only 5 more minutes to midnight
This old heart can't take anymore
Through the Fire
I got a heavy heart that I just can't shake
I got another bill that I just can't make
Feels like I'm runnin’ with a ball and chain
I sit and watch my life go down the drain
I’m on the edge now
Still holdin’ on
Please don’t push me
I’m not that strong
Take me through the fire
Lead me to the light
I've made another promise
That I just can't break
I’ve told another story ...
That I just can't fake
I’ve gotta run and hide cuz the chips are down
Cuz when the sun comes up I gotta leave this town
I’m on my knees now
I know I was wrong
Please don’t push me
I’m not that strong
Take me through the fire
Lead me to the light
On and on getting higher
Help me through the night
I’m on the mend now
You’ve heard my song
I’m on my feet again
Still going strong
Take me through the fire
Lead me to the light
On and on getting higher
Help me through the night
I just can’t shake it
I can’t break it
Little More Time
There's a train in the distance
Running through town
I can hear my baby callin’
And it's gettin’ me down
Now I'm shakin’ like tree
Cuz the spell she put on me
Got me spinning round & round & round etc..
On a hiding to nothing
Cause I’ve had all of my fun
Still looking for the answer
Left staring at the sun
Nothing left to say
Nowhere left to run
Left here all alone
Like a smoking gun
The sun shines on the righteous
But it don't shine on you
Well I'll take my chance for freedom
And I know I'll make it through
Nothing left to say
Nowhere left to run…
Bullet
I went by your house last night
Looked up at the bathroom light
Wondered what you're doin’ in there
Waxing your legs or washing your hair
Will the dress be red or black
Killer eyes that don’t hold back
Where will you go tonight
And if I touch you
Will you bite?
Baby wont you lay down beside me
I can’t abide these lonely nights
I know when I wake in the morning
You’ll be the first thing on my mind
I’m sure you looked at me
When I passed your car on the street
Think I saw a tiny smile
As if you’d known me for a while
Where did you drive that day
I lost you on the motorway
What are your darkest dreams
And if I scratch you, would you scream
Feel as if I’ve known you for the whole of my life
How I brushed my hands against you on that fateful night
Did you feel it too, in that fleeting touch
Hoping and waiting and wanting so much
One more minute and I feel its getting better
Did you see my face did you read all of my letters
I can see you now with your come-on stare
In your high heeled shoes and your underwear
I swear I saw your mother in the middle of town
Wanna tell you about it but I don’t know how
Took another photograph I’m gonna put on my wall
Got another different number I can try to call
I read about the news and I’m very sad to say
I saw the picture of the man you’re gonna marry today
Now I’m going round to your place for the final time
With a loaded shotgun on the passenger side
