Melissa (live)
Melissa" is an Allman Brothers Band song from 1972. A live IG
version appears on "Shades of Indigo."
Melissa.
Crossroads seem to come and go
The gypsy flies from coast to coast
Knowing many, loving none
Bearing sorrow, having fun
But back home he'll always run
To sweet Melissa.
Freight train, each car looks the same - all the same
No one knows the gypsy's name
No one hears his lonely sighs
There are no blankets where he lies
In all his deepest dreams the gypsy flies
With sweet Melissa.
Again the morning's come
Again he's on the run
Sunbeams shining through his hair
Appearing not to have a care
Pick up your gear, and, gypsy, roll on, roll on

Problem Child
I am a problem child
Ive been wild all my days
All my anger and my rage
My senses said it would lead me astray
I said go go go
Raise your hands
Raise your hands high
Dont take a seat
Dont stand aside this time
Dont assume anything
But go go go
Five generations running fast
These things will not pass
This debtors blood runs in my veins
I cant change anything
I said no no no
Raise your hands
Raise your hands high
Dont take a seat
Dont stand aside this time

Goodnight Irene
Sometimes I live in the country
Sometimes I live in the town
Sometimes I take a great notion
To jump in the river and drown
Irene goodnight
Irene goodnight
Goodnight irene
Goodnight irene
Ill see you in my dreams
Last saturday night I got married
Me and my wife settled down
Me and my wife parted
Think Ill take another walk downtown
Irene goodnight
Irene goodnight
Goodnight irene
Goodnight irene
Ill see you in my dreams
I love irene God knows I do
Ill love her all my life

Crazy Game
Crazy game
I never should have started to play
But now you couldnt tear me away
Love is sweet sweet baby
So good to you
And so bad
And I fear
The situations clear before my eyes
Confusion wants to break me and it tries
Ive been a little bit stronger from the start
Listen to my heart
Cause if youre ever believing
Im thinking of leaving
Look to the moon
Cause its a fact
She may go wandering about
But she always comes shining back
And its true
Ill wait for you
You dry your tears

Cordova
words and music by amy ray
The volunteers come for your prayers
and some souvenirs,
With ivory skin and boycott lessons
Year after year.
Well I'm tracing your face up in the space of the bottom bunk,
Oh Cordova.
Where I cried and I cried,
I knew I was trading on things that I didn't have,
The things that I didn't have.
Now you come to me
With revolution's infidelity,
With blacklisted friends and tupperware kin,
And your big history.
Well I'm tracing your face up in the space of the bottom bunk,
Oh Cordova.
Where I cried and I cried,
I knew I was trading on things that I didn't have,
The things that I didn't have.
I memorize the lullabies

Blister In The Sun (live)
When I'm a walking I strut my stuff then I'm so strung out
I'm high as a kite I just might stop to check you out
Let me go on like I blister in the sun
Let me go on big hand I know you're the one
Body and beats I stain my sheets I don't even know why
My girlfriend she's at the end she is starting to cry
Let me go on like I blister in the sun
Let me go on big hands I know you're the one
When I'm walking I strut my stuff and I'm so strung out
I'm high as a kite I just might stop to check you out
When I'm walking I strut my stuff and I'm so strung out
I'm high as a kite I just might stop to check you out
Body and beats I stain my sheets I don't even know why
My girlfriend she's at the end she is starting to cry
When I'm walking I strut my stuff and I'm so strung out
I'm high as a kite I just might stop to check you out
Let me go on like I blister in the sun
Let me go on big hands I know you're the one

Dairy Queen
I heard that you were drunk and mean
Down at the dairy queen
There's just enough of you in me
For me to have sympathy
And take it in stride
I know I had mine
And you were as kind
I am told
Ain't it funny how we lose one day
And a lifetime
Slips away
I'm looking back on us that way
Something I
Never thought I'd say
I take it in stride
I know I had mine
It was good for a time
I am told
It was good for a time
I am told

Free Through Eternity
Soft in the morning
Love without warning
Peace cause theres no disguising it
When its love you cant hide from it
Now I dont want to be the shadow
When you find your new life
I only want to hold you in the dead of night
You dont have to search for me
You dont have to set yourself free
You are free through eternity
Now I have learned to sing with a steady mind
Fill the void and pass the time
And face this ground and erase the blue
When I leave the scene it all comes down to you
You dont have to search for me
And you dont have to set yourself free
You are free through eternity
Now I know its gotta be hard to find
That blessed balance - that fine line
But turn around and bless me

Fill It Up Again
Won't have you see me as your sad sack
Lost my something and I can't get it back
or a kill on your trophy rack
I checked my schedule now my train is rolling down a track
Past the sadness of the salt flats
to the prospect of the land fat
or just a lazy orange house cat
on the sofa where I'll be put up
You've been the hole in my sky, my shrinking water supply
before my well runs dry
I'm going round round round the bend
Fill it up again
I'd like to say that it was clear to me
Love triangle geometry
but in the end it's still a mystery
the placement of affection and the disarray
I gathered up the courage that it took
Made that bed and took one last look
and you could hear the pages flapping in the wind blown
book of my days, my days

The Mountain Top
Tonight Ive been sleepin on the mountain top
With a billion stars for my witness
In the morning I go down as the sun comes up
I take a drink from the bitter root river
Have you been lonely
Yes Ive been lonely
Yes Ive been lonely too
Said now have you been lonely
Yes Ive been lonely
Yes Ive been lonely too
Yeah well tonight Ive been sleepin on the mountain top
With a billion stars for my witness
In the morning I go down as the sun comes up
I take a drink from the bitter root river
Sometimes been lonely
Sometimes been lonely
Sometimes been lonely too
Sometimes been lonely
Sometimes been lonely
Sometimes been lonely too
