It Sure Was (Love)

I listened to a friend who'd do the same for me last night
'Cause it takes one to really understand
And I watched him try to walk the line
Between what's wrong and right
And knew that fool was gonna fall again
Chorus:
Ah, but the fool I've been ain't nothing like the fool I'd be
To keep believin' dreams that don't come true
Because, you know, it never was too far from love to make believe
And I'll be leavin', if it's all the same to you
It's hard to lead a friend in need of somethin' hard to face
'Cause simple truth ain't simple when it's sad
And misery loves company, but, Lord, it's such a waste
To go on throwin' good love after bad
Chorus:
Ah, but the fools we've been ain't nothin' like the fools we'd be
To keep believin' dreams that don't come true
Because, you know, it never was to far from love to make believe
And I'll be leavin', if it's all the same to you

Love Of Money

Chorus:
Love of money is the root of all evil
Love of money is the root of all evil
Love of money is the work of the devil
Love of money
She began running for the border and her life
Like the wind, straight into the terror of the night
And she survived, bargaining her body for their gold
In the end all she had to sell them was her soul
Thats the way it goes
Chorus:
Love of money is the root of all evil
Love of money is the root of all evil
Love of money is the work of the devil
Love of money
We began reaching for the future like a dream
In a land where everything was free
Wordly men turned their profits into war
No one knows who were really fighting for
Chorus:

Killing Time

See that long line of people who keep standing in the rain
Lookin tired, gettin cold
And that signal light theyre waiting for, dont ever seem to chang
Killing time, aint it slow.
Watch them bending with the burden of the pennies that they save
Marking time, growin old
Slowly marching by the numbers to the freedom of the grave
Killing time, aint it slow
Thats the closest thing to living that theyre ever gonna know
And their good times aint no better than their bad
cause they think they need a signal light to tell them they can go
Killing time, aint it sad.
Dont feel sorry for those people who keep standing in the rain
They dont mind, they dont know
cause it never crossed their minds they got a reason to complain
Killing time, aint it slow.
Theyre not haunted by the visions that they never dared to see
And theyll never miss the dreams theyve never had
Theyre condemned to go on living in a penitentiary
For killing time, aint it sad.

Maybe You Heard

Maybe youve heard, your ole buddys gone crazy
Searching for words, too deep, sweet reason and rhyme
Living alone, more and more and hes prone to be lazy
Turning to stone, blasted and blind.
Chorus:
Dont turn away there, hey, goddamn you, he was your brother
Turn on your father, sister, mother, brother
He was your friend.
Dont you condemn him, leave it to strangers
You ought to know him, give him a hand, if you can
But at least for jesus christs sake, understand him.
Maybe youve heard that they say that the ladys been changing
Day after day, more than her mind
Learning to play, where the part has her turning to strangers
Going too far, line after line.
Chorus:
Dont turn away there - hey - goddamn you, you used to love her
Turn on your father, sister, mother, mister
She was your friend.
Dont you condemn her, leave it to strangers

Id Rather Be Sorry

If you hurt me, you wont be the first or the last
In a lifetime of many mistakes.
But I wont spend tomorrow regretting the past
For the chances that I didnt take.
cause Ill never know til its over
If Im right or Im wrong loving you,
But Id rather be sorry for something Ive done
Than for something that I didnt do.
When you touch me its easy to make me believe
Tomorrow wont take you away
But Id gamble whatever tomorrow might bring
For the love that Im living today.
cause Ill never know til its over
If Im right or Im wrong loving you,
But Id rather be sorry for something Ive done
Than for something that I didnt do.
I know someday that I may wake up all alone
When the love I believed in has died
But at least I wont wonder what I might have won
>from the lifetime that I watched going by

Easter Island

Guarding the carcass, we stripped and devided
To carve up and covet they wait there alone
Keeping the secret the rest have forgotten
And staring in silence from sockets of stone
Built and obeyed with the best of intentions
Stranger than truth and as lost and alone
Stranded like dogs in a star-spangled manger
No good to nothing not even their own
Chorus:
Holy-o-my god-i
Cant see the stars in the sky
For the sun in my eye
Shes like a dream that a world quit believin
Caught in the action back to the sea
How many more might have come from that mountain?
Barely the creatures they struggled to be
Surely the death of so grand an illusion
Left us with legends too great to ignore
Stone-cut survivors of ancient dimensions
Lost in the wonder they came to explore.

Taker

He's a giver he'll give her the kind of attention that she's never known
He's a teacher he'll teach her to open the doors that she can't on her own
He's a lover he'll love her in ways that she never has been loved before
He's a getter he'll get her by gettin' her into the world she's been hungerin' for
He's a charmer he'll charm her with money and manners that I never learned
He's a leader he'll lead her across pretty bridges he's plannin' to burn
He's a talker he'll talk her right off of her feet but he won't talk for long
Cause he's a doer he'll do her the way that I never damned if he won't do her wrong
Cause he's a taker he'll take her to places and make her
Fly higher than she's ever dared to
He'll take his time before takin' advantage takin' her easy and slow
And after he's taken the body and soul that she gives him
He'll take her for granted
Then he'll take off and leave her taken all of her pride as she goes
Yes he's a taker...

Good Christian Soldier

Not so long ago in Oklahoma the son of an Okie preacher knelt to pray
He said Lord I wanna be a Christian soldier just like you
And fight to build a new and better day
Now many years and miles from Oklahoma
That same young Okie boy still kneels to pray
But he don't pray to be no Christian soldier anymore
He just prays to make it through another day
Cause it's hard to be a Christian soldier when you tote a gun
And it hurts to have to watch a grown man cry
But we're playin' cards writin' home havin' lots of fun
Telling jokes and learning how to die
Now the things I've come to know seem so confusin'
It's gettin' hard to tell what's wrong from right
I can't seperate the winners from the losers anymore
And I'm thinking of just giving up the fight
Cause it's hard to be a Christian soldier when you tote a gun
And it hurts to have to watch a grown man cry
But we're playin' cards writin' home ain't we hadn't fun
Turning on and learning how to die

This Old Road

Look at that old photograph
Is it really you
Smiling like a baby full of dreams
Smiling aint so easy now
Some are coming true
Nothings simple as it seems
But I guess you count your blessings with the problems
That youre dealing with today
Like the changing of the seasons
Chorus:
Aint you come a long way
Aint you come a long way
Aint you come a long way down
This old road
Looking at a looking glass
Running out of time
On a face you used to know
Traces of a future lost
In between the lines
One more rainbow for the road

Shake Hands With The Devil

I know some people say that Im the devil in disguise,
I wont try to tell you that I aint.
I dont like believing that Im evil in your eyes,
But I aint make believing Im a saint,
cause Ill do anything I can to win you from the world,
Its something that my senses cant control.
And if thats sin then shake hands with the devil, little girl,
I want your body and your soul.
Chorus:
Shake hands with the devil, dont be frightened, I wont hurt you.
I dont want your silver or your gold.
Im not after anything that you dont want to give me,
I just want your body and your soul.
Other men can offer something peaceful and secure,
I cant offer anything but me.
I can take you higher than youve ever been before
And show you things you never dared to see.
And hand in hand together we can laugh the world away,
Ill keep you from the hunger and the cold.
So let your love come easy, you dont need to be afraid,
