Changed my ways
03:50
|
|||
I used to fuss
I used to fight
I used to get drunk every night
Living fast
And on the run
Never trusted anyone
I ain't that way no more nowadays
I try to keep my madness in its place
I done changed my ways
Drove the wrong side of a
One way street
Always landed on my feet
Life on the edge
Don't look down
Fell overboard but I didn't drown
I don't know how I survived those crazy days
There's a corner in my soul where the fire stays
I done changed my ways
You might think
I look cool
Don't mistake me for a fool
Ice on top
Lava below
You never know, when it might blow
Don't be fooled by the smile that's on my face
Beware the bear, even in my peaceful phase

Voodoo land
04:30
|

Mama told papa pack up man
We're moving to the Promised Land
Just as soon as we hit these shores
They promised us peace and the welcome was war
Chorus:
Living on the shifting sands – down in voodoo land
Everyday you make a stand – down in voodoo land
Say goodbye say a prayer,
Sing of hope and talk despair
It's a wild ride to live down here
down in voodoo land
Grew up in a city of stone
Holy mountains and a valley of bones
Call it a land of milk and honey
Honey is milked by the men with the money
The Prophets rage on, the kings ignore
Covet all they see, always taking more
There's a storm blowing in, a change in the weather
Heads are rolling in the eastern deserts
Chorus:
Living on the shifting sands – down in voodoo land
Everyday you make a stand – down in voodoo land
Say goodbye say a prayer,
Sing of hope and talk despair
It's a wild ride to live down here
down in voodoo land
The rules are changing, troubling signs
Better think twice, don't speak your mind
Going to war over god and land
Dangerous times for a logical man
Chorus:
Living on the shifting sands – down in voodoo land
Everyday you make a stand – down in voodoo land
Say goodbye say a prayer,
Sing of hope and talk despair
It's a wild ride to live down here
down in voodoo land

My heart is heavy, my spirit torn
An endless journey ever since I was born
The road is rough and time takes its toll
Sometimes I wonder who owns my soul
Not satisfied, but it's
Good enough for the Blues
One wrong roll of the dice
I'm still paying such a heavy price
Been here too long, and I believe
It's almost time for me to leave
It's never fair but it's
Good enough for the Blues
My sight is blurred, my mission clear
I'm on the run but I got no fear
One step forward two steps back
I lost my way, but now I'm back on track
It's never perfect but it's
Good enough for the Blues

Well run dry
03:33
|
|||
White hot light, sweat soaked night
My mind is wired and my skin feels too tight
Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies
But the smile I'm wearing feels like a disguise
And I don't know why I try
And I feel my well has run dry
Bored to tears in the virtual sphere
Too much spare time, too much fear
It's a digital age, and I'm an analogue guy
So just go with the flow, and stop asking why
Every move you make is on file
And I feel my well has run dry
Everybody’s looking for someone to blame
Dealing with the devil, stealing in the Lord’s name
Selling peace, buying war, it's all a waste of time
Too many monkeys trying to signify
And I move through town just like a spy
And I feel my well has run dry

Someday
04:16
|
|||
Smile at me then you turn away
Try to hide the truth your eyes betray
You know your lying hurts me to the core
But I'll just keep on coming back for more
I know you're
gonna treat me right – someday baby
I know some day
You will see the light – someday baby
I saw you last night on the far side of town
Laughing with strangers, putting me down
I woke this morning and all my dreams were gone
Got to find a way to keep dreaming on
You think I'm
Just gonna fade away someday baby
You'll be glad
I'm the one who stays someday baby
I keep on trying to win back your love
Feels like dying, but I can't give it up
You know my love
Will never let you down – no,no baby
I'll be here when you
Finally come around – someday baby

Everybody loves my baby
02:52

Chorus: Everybody loves my baby
Everybody wants a piece
Everybody loves my baby – Oh yeah, oh yeah
Everybody loves my baby
Everybody wants a piece
Everybody loves my baby – oh yeah
Cab drivers love her 'cause she always tips
The waiter's crazy about the way she sips
The admiral just wants her to sink his ships
The lion tamer wants her to snap his whip
The bankers love her 'cause her credit is good
Mechanics want to look under her hood
The chef is dying to cook her food
The carpenter is trying to sell her his wood
The doctor loves her cause her health is so fine
The dentist loves her 'cause her teeth are in line
The fortune teller's looking for a sign
The bartender trying to give her more wine
The policeman slapped the cuffs on her wrists
The prosecutor says that she tried to resist
The witnesses forgot what they witnessed
The judge said "case dismissed"

Burning deep
05:16
|

The empty road, that's where I belong,
Many miles of loneliness, is my song
Can't see where I'm going, 'cause you made me blind
Another long night and another long ride
I got the blues burning deep inside of me
You got to love me baby, or set me free
Babe you bring the best of the worst out in me
I tried to do right, but it always was wrong
We can't stay apart and we can't get along
The Blues is calling – do I pick up the phone?
Those same old demons are calling me home
I got the blues burning deep inside of me
I'm gonna take you to hell, or the deep blue sea
Babe you bring the best of the worst out in me
Now you're asking me to come home to you
But your eyes tell a lie, and the Blues tells the truth
So I'm leaving behind the best love that I've known
And I follow the signs, to that old lonesome road
I got the blues burning deep inside of me
Won't pick up that phone, I'm breaking free
Babe you bring the best of the worst out in me

All night long
03:44
|
|||
You never regret what you don't say
Don't look back, you ain't going that way
Walking a thin line between crazy and insane
I love to hear you whisper my name
Y'know your voice is just like a song
Singing all night long
Nero danced while Rome burned
Through tragedies the world still turns
They say that the lord works in mysterious ways
And my mama said, it's just like that some days
Your loving keeps me going strong
All night long
The temptress with the apple
and a serpent in the grass
You won't miss your time in Eden
Until it's finally passed
Sometimes the days just last too long
And sometimes right just comes out all wrong
Searching for a word, try to write it in a song
But some nights the darkness is much too strong
I feel the Blues coming on
All night long

Shadows
05:23
|
|||
I remember as a child
Running free, running wild
Now those days are far behind, you're torn inside
When I look into your eyes
And see the sorrow you can't hide
I'm still searching for the light that used to shine
The shadows soon begin to fade,
The sunlight of a brand new day
I'll never know just how or why
They broke your spirit, changed your mind
I miss your laugh, miss your smile, I miss your pride
You were searching far and wide
You never wanted to be tied
But they dragged you to the ground and left you dry
The shadows soon begin to fade
Sunlight of a brand new day
Keep the faith, I'm by your side
I know some day you're gonna fly
Doesn’t matter where you go, enjoy the ride
Now it's time to lose the blinds
Now it's time for you to rise
Now it's time to raise your head and dry your eyes
:
The thunderheads have blown away
Fresh new air, a breath of change
The shadows soon begin to fade
Sunlight of a brand new day
Raise your head and face the sky. Now it's time for you to shine
Now the time has finally come for you to rise

Storm
04:43
|
|||
Clouds rolling in, whistling wind, I feel it's gonna rain
The storm is coming, gonna wash away my pain
Opened my eyes, looked for the light, could not see a thing
The storm is coming, we'll see what the day will bring
Feel so blue, can't find the truth, hidden in a forest of lies
The storm is coming, gonna separate the fools from the wise
The sky's on fire, it's down to the wire, hope I make it home alright
The storm is coming, time to get ready for the fight

Old school
03:04
|
|||
Take our coffee black
Drink our whiskey neat
Don't come in our kitchen
If you can't take the heat
We came up the hard w
Last of a dying breed
When we get to rocking,
you best be on your feet
You might think we're washed up
Nothing but old fools
But we're rock'n'roll
– We're old school
Life is what keeps happening
While we keep on trying
The best part of the trip
Is on the uphill climb
We've been through all the wringers
Done everything twice
Been messed with by the best
Seen all the loaded dice
Try to keep us down
Someone changed the rules
But we're rock'n'roll
– We're old school
Our color might be faded
Fender's full of dents
We're rusty on the edges
But we ai'nt done yet
Got to keep on pushing
Something's got to give
We Live to play,
And play to live
You think we're out of style
But the ladies say we're cool
But we're rock'n'roll
We're old school
