A Prayer Like Any Other

Verse

It’s way past midnight, everyone asleep

Outside the window it’s quiet on the street

My bags are packed, my guitar too

Taxi’s coming, nothin’ I can do

Chorus

Oh Lord, keep your eye on my friends

I’d just feel better knowing you’re watching them

I’ve got to roll, take a little spin

While I’m gone, keep your eye on my friends

Verse

Gotta get home the only way I know

The long old road, steady and slow

One of these days, I’ll come back

If the creek don’t rise and stuff like that

Chorus

Oh Lord, keep your eye on this place

Keep it warm, keep it safe

You know I depend on your saving grace

While I’m gone, keep your eye on this place

Bridge

This is just a prayer like any other

Nothing more, nothing less

Just a prayer like any other

One more time could you just say yes

Verse

Oh Lord, keep your eye on me

You know how foolish and reckless I can be

Light up my way, so I can see

Oh Lord, keep your eye on me

Outro

Oh Lord, keep your eye on my friends

Oh Lord, keep your eye on this place

Always Remember Us This Way

Verse

That Arizona sky burning in your eyes

You look at me and, babe, I wanna catch on fire

It’s buried in my soul like California gold

You found the light in me that I couldn’t find

Chorus

So when I’m all choked up and I can’t find the words

Every time we say goodbye baby, it hurts

When the sun goes down - And the band won’t play

I’ll always remember us this way

Verse

Lovers in the night poets trying to write

We don’t know how to rhyme but damn we try

But all I really know you’re where I wanna go

The part of me that’s you will never die

Chorus

So when I’m all choked up and I can’t find the words

Every time we say goodbye baby, it hurts

When the sun goes down - And the band won’t play

I’ll always remember us this way - Oh, yeah

Bridge

I don’t wanna be just a memory, baby, yeah

Hoo-oo-oo, hoo-oo-oo, oo - oo.

Hoo-oo-oo, hoo-oo-oo, oo —– oo.

Chorus

So when I’m all choked up and I can’t find the words

Every time we say goodbye baby, it hurts

When the sun goes down and the band won’t play

I’ll always remember us this way - Wo-o-yeah

Outro

When you look at me and the whole world fades

I’ll always remember us this way

Autumn Leaves

Intro

Verse

The falling leaves drift by my window

The falling leaves of red and gold (slide up 2 frets, then back to Am7)

I see your lips, the summer vkisses

The sunburned hands I used to hold

And soon I’ll hear old winter’s song

Changes in Latitudes

Intro

Verse

I took off for a weekend last month

Just to try and recall the whole year

All of the faces and all of the places

Wonderin’ where they all disappeared

I didn’t ponder the question too long

I was hungry and went out for a bite

Ran into a chum with a bottle of rum

and we wound up drinkin’ all night

Chorus

It’s those changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes

Nothing remains quite the same

With all of our running and all of our cunning

If we couldn’t laugh we would all go insane

Verse

Reading departure signs in some big airport

Reminds me of the places I’ve been

Visions of good times that brought so much pleasure

Makes me want to go back again

If it suddenly ended tomorrow

I could somehow adjust to the fall

Good times and riches and son of a bitches

I’ve seen more than I can recall

Chorus

These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes

Nothing remains quite the same

Through all of the islands and all of the highlands

If we couldn’t laugh we would all go insane

Instrumental

Verse

I think about Paris when I’m high on red wine

I wish I could jump on a plane

So many nights I just dream of the ocean

God, I wish I was sailin’ again

Oh, yesterday’s over my shoulder

So I can’t look back for too long

There’s just too much to see waiting in front of me

And I know that I just can’t go wrong

Chorus

With these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes

Nothing remains quite the same

With all of our running and all of my cunning

If I couldn’t laugh, I just would go insane

If we couldn’t laugh, we just would go insane

If we weren’t all crazy we would go insane

City of New Orleans

Intro

Verse

Riding on the City of New Orleans

Illinois Central, Monday morning rail

Fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders

Three conductors and twenty-five sacks of mail.

All along the south bound odyssey, the train pulls out of Kankakee

Rolls along past houses, farms and fields

Passing trains that have no name, freight yards full of old black men

And the graveyards of the rusted automobiles.

Chorus

Good morning America, how are you?

Say, don’t you know me, I’m your native son.

I’m the train they call the City of New Orleans

I’ll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.

Verse

Dealing card games with the old men in the club car

Penny a point, ain’t no one keeping score

Pass the paper bag that holds the bottle

Feel the wheels rumblin’ ’neath the floor

Verse

And the sons of Pullman porters and the sons of engineers

Ride their fathers’ magic carpets made of steel

Mothers with their babes asleep, rockin’ to the gentle beat

And the rhythm of the rails is all they feel.

Chorus

Good morning America, how are you?

Say, don’t you know me, I’m your native son.

I’m the train they call the City of New Orleans

I’ll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.

Verse

Night time on the City of New Orleans

Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee

Halfway home, we’ll be there by morning

through the Mississippi darkness rolling down to the sea.

Verse

But all the towns and people seem to fade into a bad dream

And the steel rail still ain’t heard the news

The conductor sings his songs again, the passengers will please refrain

This train got the disappearing railroad blues.

Chorus

Good night America, how are you?

Say, don’t you know me, I’m your native son.

I’m the train they call the City of New Orleans

I’ll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.

Clean Getaway

Intro

Verse

Somebody tell me, somebody try

Where was I goin’ when I said goodbye

When I said goodbye to her

I think I said something like it’s time I go

I gave her one last kiss and that’s all I know

That’s all I know for sure

Chorus

Now it’s in the songs I sing, it’s the price I pay

There’s no such thing as a clean getaway

Verse

The room started growin’ underneath my feet

Could have been the rain, could have been the heat

Could have been the heat about her

I knew I had to leave her, had to leave her bad

I needed my freedom, it was all I had

It was all I had for sure

Chorus

Now it’s in the songs I sing, it’s the price I pay

There’s no such thing as a clean getaway

Instrumental

Verse

Now I’m ridin’ a taxi, I’m waitin’ on a train

I sit by the window on a big jet plane

I can’t get her out of my mind

Well she’s long gone now, I saw to that

And I cussed myself ‘cause she ain’t coming back

She ain’t coming back this time

Chorus

It’s in the songs I sing, it’s the price I pay

There’s no such thing as a clean getaway

Outro

Comfortably Numb

Verse

Hello?

Is there anybody in there?

Just nod if you can hear me

Is there anyone at home?

Come on now

I hear you’re feeling down

I can ease your pain

And get you on your feet again

Relax

I’ll need some information first

Just the basic facts

Can you show me where it hurts?

Chorus

There is no pain, you are re- ceding

A distant ship smoke on the hor- izon

You are only coming through in waves

Your lips move but I can’t hear what you’re saying

Verse

When I was a child I had a fever

My hands felt just like two balloons

Now I’ve got that feeling once again, I can’t explain,

You would not understand, this is not how I am

I-- - have become comfortably numb

Guitar Solo 1

I- - -have become comfortably numb

Verse

Just a little pinprick

There’ll be no more aaaaaaaah!

But you may feel a little sick

Can you stand up?

I do believe it’s working, good

That’ll keep you going through the show

Come on, it’s time to go

Chorus

There is no pain, you are receding

A distant ship smoke on the horizon

You are only coming through in waves

Your lips move but I can’t hear what you’re saying

Verse

When I was a child, I caught a fleeting glimpse

Out of the corner of my eye

I turned to look but it was gone

I cannot put my fin- ger on it now

The child is grown, the dream is gone

And- I--have become comfortably numb

Guitar Solo 2

(Repeat and fade)

Conquistador

Verse

Conquistador, your stallion stands

In need of company

And like some angel’s haloed brow

You reek of purity

Chorus

I see your armour-plated breast

Has long since lost its sheen

And in your death mask face

There are no signs which can be seen

And though I hoped for something to find

I could see no maze to unwind

Verse

Conquistador, a vulture sits

Upon your silver shield

And in your rusty scabbard now

The sand has taken seed

Chorus

And though your jewel-encrusted blade

Has not been plundered still

The sea has washed across your face

And taken of its fill

And though I hoped for something to find

I could see no maze to unwind

And though I hoped for something to find

I could see no maze to unwind

Verse

Conquistador, there is no time

I must pay my respect

And though I came to jeer at you

I leave now with regret

Chorus

And as the gloom begins to fall

I see there is no, only all

And though you came with sword held high

You did not conquer, only die

And though I hoped for something to find

I could see no maze to unwind

And though I hoped for something to find

I could see no maze to unwind

And though I hoped for something to find

I could see no maze to unwind

Everything Is Free

Intro

Chorus

Everything is free now, That’s what they say.

Everything I ever done, I’m going to give it away.

Someone hit the big score. They figured it out,

That we’re gonna do it anyway, Even if doesn’t pay.

Verse

I can get a tip jar, Gas up the car,

And try to make a little change Down at the bar.

Or I can get a straight job, I’ve done it before.

I never minded working hard, It’s who I’m working for.

Chorus

Everything is free now, That’s what they say.

Everything I ever done, I’m going to give it away.

Someone hit the big score. They figured it out,

That we’re gonna do it anyway, Even if doesn’t pay.

Verse

Every day I wake up, Hummin’ a song.

But I don’t need to run around, I just stay home.

And sing a little love song, My love, to myself.

If there’s something that you want to hear, You can sing it yourself.

Chorus

‘cause everything is free now, That’s what I say.

No one’s got to listen to, The words in my head.

Someone hit the big score, And I figured it out,

That we’re gonna do it anyway, Even if doesn’t pay.

Fields of Gold

Verse

You’ll remember me when the west wind moves

Upon the fields of barley

As we walk, in fields of gold

So she took her love for to gaze awhile

Upon the fields of barley

In his arms she fell as her hair came down

Among the fields of gold

As we lie, in fields of gold

Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth

Among , the fields of gold

When we walked in fields of gold

Flycatcher Jack and the Whippoorwill

Verse

Wind is warm as mother’s milk, steady as a siren

Though my whiskers smell of soap, my pistol smells of iron

This front porch is higher than, the rest of this poor town

I piss every day away, watch the sun go down

If I was a gamblin’ man, the way I used to be

Those downtown gals would gather ‘round, Just to watch the likes of me

And those lazy bones would tumble, Those lazy bones would roll

I’d pick out my downtown gal, give her all my gold

Chorus

Hey, hey, whippoorwill sings all kinds a foolish things

All I know is if I had wings, I’d be gone by now

Verse

Once a year this old hotel fills up at harvest time

Mexicans and Gypsy kids, mostly friends a mine

They all come in at sundown, fill my whiskey glass

They sit and sing a song with me, let the evenin’ pass

For in the old days I worked with them, I worked till the work was done

The crew we had back in those days, we where always number one

Northward with the seasons, Southward in the fall

Till I got hurt in the oil patch, boys I had it all

Chorus

Hey, hey, whippoorwill sings all kinds a foolish things

All I know is if I had wings, I’d be gone by now

Solo

Verse

(This year we had no rain at all, not a single crop came in)

(Nothin’ moves on Main Street now but an Oklahoma wind)

And I am just a shadow, of the man I used to be

And I wish I had someone to sing ‘The Long Black Veil’ with me

Chorus

Hey, hey, whippoorwill sings all kinds a crazy things

All I know is if I had wings, I’d be gone by now

Fragile

Verse

If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one

Drying in the colour of the evening sun

Tomorrow’s rain will wash the stains away

But something in our minds will always stay

Perhaps this final act was meant

To clinch a lifetime’s argument

That nothing comes from violence

and nothing ever could

For all those born beneath an angry star

Lest we forget how fragile we are

Chorus

On and on the rain will fall

Like tears from a star

On and on the rain will say

How fragile we are

Interlude

Chorus

On and on the rain will fall

Like tears from a star

On and on the rain will say

How fragile we are

Outro

How fragile we are

Gold Dust Woman

Verse

Rock on gold dust woman

Take your silver spoon, dig your grave

Heartless challenge, pick your path and I’ll pray

Wake up in the morning

See your sunrise - loves - to go down

Lousy lovers pick their prey

But they never cry out loud - cry out

Chorus

Well, did she make you cry

Make you break down

Shatter your illusions of love

And is it over now - do you know how

Pick up the pieces and go home

Verse

Rock on ancient queen follow those who pale

In your shadow

Rulers make bad lovers

You better put your kingdom up for sale - up for sale

Chorus

Well, did she make you cry

Make you break down

Shatter your illusions of love

And is it over now - do you know how

Pick up the pieces and go home

Chorus

Well, did she make you cry

Make you break down

Shatter your illusions of love

And is it over now - do you know how

Pick up the pieces and go home

Go home, go home

London Homesick Blues

Verse

Well when you’re down on your luck you ain’t got a buck

In London you’re a goner now even London bridge is falling down

And moved to Arizona, now I know why

And I’ll substantiate the rumor that the English sense of humor is

Drier than the Texas sand

You can put up your dukes you can bet your boots

But I’m leavin’ just as fast as I can now

Chorus

I wanna go home with the armadillo

Good country music from Amarillo and Abilene

The friendliest people and the prettiest women you’ve ever seen

Verse

Well it’s cold over here and I swear I wish they’d turn the heat on

And where in the world is that English girl I promised I would meet, on the

3rd floor

And of the whole damn lot the only friend I got is a smoke and a cheap guitar

My heart keeps roamin’ my heart keeps longing to be home in a Texas bar

Chorus

I wanna go home with the armadillo

Good country music from Amarillo and Abilene

The friendliest people and the prettiest women you’ve ever seen

Verse

Well I decided that I’d get my cowboy hat and go down to the Marble Arch

Station

Cause when a Texan fancies he’ll take his chances

Chances will be takin’ that’s for sure

wear

And they said you’re from down south and when you open your mouth

You always seem to put your foot there

Looks Like the End of the Road

Intro

Verse

It’s the end of the circus

And I’m feeling sad like a clown

My makeup is drowning in

Blood, sweat and tears

From my heart and I fear that

When I look around

I lost what I found

Chorus

When I started off

Never thought I’d cross

The lines that were drawn

A long time ago

Are buried and gone

In lies and ego

And I drank it down

But can’t cover up

The lives that I’ve lost

I’ve run out of luck

Goodbye- to the world that I know

Looks like- the end of the road

Solo

Verse

Isolate in the darkest of nights

And I’m down to the wire

Surrounded by fire

Pull the plug from the jug

But you can’t wash it out of your mind

Or stay ahead of the crime

When I started off

Never thought I’d cross

The lines that were drawn

A long time ago

Are buried and gone

In lies and ego

And I drank it down

But can’t cover up

The lives that I’ve lost

I’ve run out of luck

Good- bye- - - to the world that I know

Looks like the end of the road

Goodbye to the world that I know

Looks like the end of the road

Ma Liberté

Verse 1

Ma liberté

Longtemps je t’ai gardée

Comme une perle rare

Ma liberté, C’est toi qui m’as aidé

A larguer les amarres

Pour aller n’importe où

Pour aller jusqu’au bout

Des chemins de fortune

Pour cueillir en rêvant

Une rose des vents

Sur un rayon de lune

Verse 2

Ma liberté

Devant tes volontés

Mon âme était soumise

Ma liberté, Je t‘avais tout donné

Ma dernière chemise

Et combien j’ai souffert

Pour pouvoir satisfaire

Toutes tes exigences

J’ai changé de pays

J’ai perdu mes amis

Pour gagner ta confiance

Verse 3

Ma liberté

Tu as su désarmer

Toutes Mes habitudes

Ma liberté, Toi qui m’a fait aimer

Même la soli - - - tude

Toi qui m’as fait sourire

Quand je voyais finir

Une belle aventure

Toi qui m’as protégé

Quand j’allais mecacher

Pour soigner mes blessures

Verse 4

Ma liberté

Pourtant je t’ai quittée

Une nuit de décembre

J’ai déserté les chemins écartés

Que nous suivions ensemble

Lorsque sans me méfier

Les pieds et poingsliés

Je me suis laissé faire

Et je t’ai trahi pour

Une prison d’amour

Et sa belle geôlière

Outro

Et je t’ai trahi pour

Une prison d’amour

Et sa belle geôlière

Nights in White Satin

Intro

Verse

Nights in white satin, never reaching the end,

Letters I’ve written, never meaning to send.

Beauty I’ve always missed, with these eyes before,

Just what the truth is, I can’t say any more

Chorus

‘Cos I love you, yes I love you, oh, how I love you.

Verse

Gazing at people, some hand in hand,

Just what I’m going through, they can’t understand.

Some try to tell me, thoughts they cannot defend,

Just what you want to be, you’ll be in the end.

Chorus

And I love you, yes I love you, oh, how I love you.

Solo

Verse

Nights in white satin, never reaching the end,

Letters I’ve written, never meaning to send.

Beauty I’ve always missed, with these eyes before,

Just what the truth is, I can’t say any more

Chorus

‘Cos I love you, yes I love you, oh, how I love you.

No Love Today

Verse

I don’t know much, when I knew less, I was heartbroke for the first time,

I was drowning in my tears, I went looking for a lifeline,

Trying to find some comfort, just a simple tender touch,

Searching for some little cure that would not cost too much,

And I could hear that produce wagon on the street,

I could hear that farmer singing, as I cried myself to sleep

Chorus

I got ba-na-na, watermelon, peaches by the pound,

Sweet corn, mirleton, mo’ better than in town,

I got okra, enough to choke ya, beans of every kind,

If hungry is what’s eatin’ you, I’ll sell you peace of mind,

But this ain’t what you came to hear me say,

And I hate to disappoint you, but I got no love today,

I got no… love today, I got no… love today, No love today

Verse

I could not love to save myself from lonesome desperation.

Everything I thought was love was worthless imitation.

My concept of commitment was to take all you could give,

I thought the cheapest thrills I loved were teachin’ me to live,

But nothin’ seemed to last or see me through

Nothin’ but that little song that I still sing for you.

Chorus 2

I got ba-na-na, watermelon, peaches by the pound,

Sweet corn, mirleton, mo’ better than in town,

I got vokra, enough to choke ya, beans of every kind,

If hungry is what’s eatin’ you, I’ll sell you peace of mind,

But this ain’t what you came to hear me say,

And I hate to disappoint you, but I got no love today,

I got no… love today, I got no… love today, No love today

Verse

No love today, none tomorrow, not now, not forever.

You cannot see what comes for free, I think you much too clever,

For your own good I will tell you what’s right before your eyes,

Intelligence is no defense against what this implies,

In the end no one will sell you what you need,

You can’t buy it off the shelf, you got to grow it from the seed.

Last Chorus

I got ba-na-na, watermelon, peaches by the pound,

Sweet corn, mirleton, mo’ better than in town,

I got okra, enough to choke ya, beans of every kind,

If hungry is what’s eatin’ you, I’ll sell you peace of mind,

But this ain’t what you came to hear me say,

And I hate to disappoint you, but I got no love today,

I got no… love today, I got no… love today, No love today

One Little Song

Intro

Verse

There’s gotta be a song left to sing

‘cause everybody can’t have thought of everything

One little song that ain’t been sung

One little rag that ain’t been wrung out completely yet

Got a little left

Chorus

One little drop of falling rain… One little chance to try again

One little bird that makes it home… Now and then

One little piece of endless sky… One little taste of cherry pie

One little week in paradise… And I start thinkin’

Verse

Gotta to be a song left to sing

‘cause everybody can’t have thought of everything

One little note that ain’t been used

One little word that ain’t been abused a thousand times

In a thousand rhymes

Chorus

One little drop of falling rain… One little chance to try again

One little bird that makes it every… now and then

One little piece of endless sky… One little taste of cherry pie

One little week in paradise… And I start thinkin’

Verse

Gotta be a song left to sing

‘cause everybody can’t have thought of everything

One little song that ain’t been sung

One little rag that ain’t been wrung out completely yet

Until there’s nothing left…

Outro

One More Cup of Coffee

Verse

Your breath is sweet, your eyes are like

Two jewels in the sky

Your back is straight, your hair is smooth

On the pillow where you lie

But I don’t sense affection

No gratitude or love

Your loyalty is not to me but to the stars above

Chorus

One more cup of coffee for the road

One more cup of coffee ‘fore I go

To the valley below

Verse

Your daddy he’s an outlaw

And a wanderer by trade

He’ll teach you how to pick an’ choose

And how to throw the blade

He oversees his kingdom

So no stranger does intrude

His voice it trembles as he calls out

For another plate of food

Repeat Chorus

Verse

Your sister sees the future

Like your momma and yourself

You’ve never learned to read or write

There’s no books upon your shelf

And your pleasure knows no limits

Your voice is like a meadow lark

But your heart is like an ocean

Mysterious and dark

Repeat Chorus

Pancho and Lefty

Verse

Living on the road my friend

Was gonna keep you free and clean

Now you wear your skin like iron

Your breath’s as hard as kerosene

You weren’t your mama’s only boy

But her favorite one it seems

She began to cry when you said goodbye

And sank into your dreams

Verse

Pancho was a bandit boys

His horse was fast as polished steel

Wore his gun outside his pants

For all the honest world to feel

Pancho met his match you know

On the deserts down in Mexico

Nobody heard his dying words

That’s the way it goes

Chorus

All the federales say

They could have had him any day

They only let him hang a- round

Out of kindness I suppose

Verse

Lefty he can’t sing the blues

All night long like he used to

The dust that Pancho bit down south

Ended up in Lefty’s mouth

The day they laid poor Pancho low

Lefty split for Ohio

Where he got the bread to go

There ain’t nobody knows

Chorus

All the federales say

They could have had him any day

They only let him slip a- way

Out of kindness I suppose

Verse

The poets tell how Pancho fell

Lefty’s livin’ in a cheap hotel

The desert’s quiet and Cleveland’s cold

So the story ends we’re told

Pancho needs your prayers it’s true,

But save a few for Lefty too

He just did what he had to do

Now he’s growing old

Chorus

All the federales say

They could have had him any day

They only let him go so wrong

Out of kindness I suppose

Outro

And a few gray federales say

They could have had him any day

They only let him go so long

Out of kindness I suppose

Photographs and Memories

Verse

Photographs and memories, Christmas cards you sent to me

All that I have are these to remember you

Memories that come at night take me to another time

Back to a happier day, when I called you mine

Chorus

But we sure had a good time when we started way back when

Morning walks and bedroom talks, oh, how I loved you then

Verse

Summer skies and lullabies, nights we couldn’t say goodbye,

And of all of the things that we knew, not a dream survived

Verse

Photographs and memories, all the love you gave to me,

Somehow it just can’t be true, that’s all I’ve left of you

Chorus

But we sure had a good time when we started way back when

Morning walks and bedroom talks, oh, how I loved you then

Soldier of Fortune

Intro

Verse

I have often told you stories

About the way

I lived the life of a drifter

waiting for the day

When I’d take your hand and sing you songs

Then maybe you would say

Come lay with me and love me

And I would surely stay

Chorus

But I feel I’m growing older

And the songs that I have sung

Echo in the distance

Like the sound

Of a windmill going round

Guess I’ll always be

A soldier of fortune.

Solo

Verse

Many times I’ve been a traveler

I looked for something new

In days of old when nights were cold

I wandered without you

But those days I thought my eyes

Had seen you standing near

Though blindness is confusing

It shows that you’re not here.

Chorus

But I feel I’m growing older

And the songs that I have sung

Echo in the distance

Like the sound

Of a windmill going round

Guess I’ll always be

A soldier of fortune.

Ootro

Yes, I can hear the sound

of a windmill going round

I guess I’ll always be

a soldier of vfortune.

I guess I’ll always be

a soldier of fortune.

That's How Every Empire Falls

Intro

Verse

He caught a train from Alexandria

Just a broken man in flight

Running scared with all his devils

Saying prayers all through the night

But mercy can’t find him

Not in the shadows where he calls

Forsaking all his better angels

That’s how every empire falls

Instrumental

Verse

The bells ring out on Sunday morning

Like echoes from another time

All our innocence and yearning

And sense of wonder left behind

Oh, gentle hearts remember

What was that story his they lost

When religion loses vision

That’s how every empire falls

Instrumental

Verse

He toasts his wife and all his family

The providence he brought to bear

They raise their glasses in his honor

Although this union made ’em share

Of a man that lives among them

But still a stranger to them all

For when a heart is never open

That’s how every empire falls

Instrumental

Verse

Lock the door and board the windows

Put the people in the street

It just my job he says I’m sorry

And draws the jackels home to eat

But at night he tell his woman

I know I hide behind the laws

She says you are only taking orders

That’s how every empire falls

Instrumental

Verse

A bitter wind blows through the country

A hard rain falls on the sea

If terror comes without a warning

There must be something we don’t see

Well, fire begets this fire

Like torches thrown into the straw

If no one ask and no one answers

That’s how every empire falls

There is no past, there’s only fu- ture.

There’s only here, there’s only now.

Oh, your smiling face, your gracious pre- sence.

And the fires of spring, are kindling bright.

Oh, the radiant heart, and the song of glo- ry.

Crying freedom, in the night.

His timely grace, and our treasured find.

Turned the water, into the wine.

Train Home

Travis Picking

Intro

Verse

Take a look inside,

I’ve got nothing left to hide,

Take me as I am not what I want to be.

The why we’ll never know,

We passed that long ago,

Is and was is all we’re ever gonna be.

Bridge

Chorus

He’s almost shade, down by the river,

Feels a breath that makes him shiver,

Takes a breath and makes a dive alone.

But the dead don’t get no vacation,

Down in that subway station,

The only break they take is to the bone.

And they’re waiting on a train to take them home.

They’re waiting on a train to take them home.

Verse

I don’t think I see,

Much of anything for me,

In visions of the past or the everafter.

Now is what can be,

All the rest is wait and see,

Those prophets never hear that cosmic laughter.

Chorus

And gypsies in their wagons rolling,

Never hear those death bells tolling,

Never take no notice of the tone.

But I do, and my pulse beats quicker,

Scornful laughs and knowing snickers,

Stop my heart and sink it like a stone.

Now I’m waiting on a train to take me home.

Just waiting on a train to take me home.

Solo

Verse

This ain’t what it seems,

And it’s not the stuff of dreams,

Nothing is as clear as this confusion.

The somewhat welcome news,

Is there is no way to lose,

Because what isn’t real is genuine illusion.

Chorus

And it’s all about that graveyard dancing,

Some sit still and some still prancing,

And some get caught between them in a zone.

Well there’s nothing left to give them cover,

They can’t even see each other,

They just step and stumble on their own.

They’re waiting on a train to take them home.

Outro

They’re waiting on a train,

I’m waiting on a train,

We’re all waiting on that train to take us home.

You Never Even Call Me by My Name

Verse

It was all that I could do to keep from cryin'

Sometimes it seems so useless to remain

You’re the one who always tried to change me

And that is why I’ll always stay the same

I never minded standin’ in the rain

You don’t have to call me “Darlin’,” Darlin'

But you never even call me by name

No you don’t have to call me Charlie Pride

And you don’t have to call me Merle Haggard anymore

Even though you know you’re on my fightin’ side

Chorus

‘Til that day I’ll hang around as long as you will let me

I never minded standin’ in the rain

You don’t have to call me “Darlin’,” Darlin’

But you never even call me by name

You’re the lucky one, always having fun

A jack of all trades, a master of none
