Easy Money
South of the border and busted,
Caught by a woman I trusted,
Now dont you call me a fool,
It could have happened to you,
Its just my luck,
It had to happen to me.
Sweet carmelita betrayed me
She said, take me home, serenade me.
I figured a song could do me no wrong.
I didnt know how wrong I could be.
Easy money for just one run to peru.
Itll be so easy. well have no trouble gettin through.
Well I almost made it, except for that one border guard.
He opened up my guitar. hello prison yard.
Goodbye easy money. easy money.
The chiquita must have told em my story
cause when my eyes finally focused next morning
Carmelita had spoken bout guitars and some coke
And she laughed as they slapped me in chains.
I was thrown in cell with a killer.

Shes Gonna Love Me
Shes gonna love me like you never could
Shes gonna treat me like you never would
Shes gonna love me live Ive never been loved before
You should have grabbed me when you had your chance
You got a little bit too big for your own leather pants
I could have told you from the start
No ones ever taken better care of your heart
Now your gone, I dont care
Ive got a woman who will always be there, and...
Shes gonna love me like you never could
Shes gonna treat me like you never would
Shes gonna love me like Ive never been loved before
Shes gonna spin me like a roulette wheel
Shes gonna treat me like Im her last meal
Shes gonna love me and I keep comin back for more
Ooh shes gonna love me
Ooh shes gonna love me
Shes gonna love me like her favorite hobby
Throw me down and love me in the hotel lobby
You figured Id just always be around

That Aint Love
You tell me what you think Im feelin, you know why I do what I do
Why should you listen to a word Im sayin, when its already so clear to you
You tell me bout my bad intentions, you doubt the very things I hold true
I can no longer live with your misconceptions, baby all I can say to you, is
Chorus:
That aint love, I believe youve got the wrong emotion
That aint love, at least it doesnt feel like love to me
As long as I say what you wanna hear
Do what you wanna do, be who you want me to be
You think thats love, well baby that aint love to me
Weve got to talk it over sometime, these feelings wont just disappear
Im just gonna keep telling you whats on my mind
Even if its not what you wanna hear
Oooh right now your world and mine are such different places
Through yours I wander lost and confused
And I feel like Im speaking in a different language
And the only words I havent used, are
Chorus
You keep tellin me, you know a place where your life would be better
Youre makin plans long-range

Over The Edge
I had eyes but I could not see, I hurt everybody who believed in me
I had it all but I lost the key, oh
I saw the world through fogged-up glasses, like some lothario making passes
I showed the world just what an ass is, oh
I was over the edge, I was always out of my head
Trouble in paradise, treadin on the thinnest ice
Oh-oh, over the edge, I wouldnt listen to what anybody said
Cuttin with a razor blade, spendin every cent I made
Over the edge
I dreamed of standin on my own two feet
My fists held high and I clenched my teeth
But Id wake up to the same old me, oh
I was living a lie, but you brought me truth
Afraid to cry, but you taught me to
You stood beside me, now Ill stand by you, oh
I was over the edge, I was always out of my head
I wasnt foolin anyone, playin with a loaded gun
Oh-oh, over the edge, I wouldnt listen to what anybody said
I was numbing all the pain, you taught me how to feel again

In My Dream
There was a time some time ago
When every sunrise meant a sunny day, oh a sunny day
But now when the morning light shines in
It only disturbs the dreamland where I lay, oh where I lay
I used to thank the lord when I'd wake
For life and love and the golden sky above me
But now I pray the stars will go on shinin', you see in my dreams you love me
Daybreak is a joyful time
Just listen to the songbird harmonies, oh the harmonies
But I wish the dawn would never come
I wish there was silence in the trees, oh the trees
If only I could stay asleep, at least I could pretend you're thinkin' of me
'Cause nighttime is the one time I am happy, you see in my dreams
We climb and climb and at the top we fly
Let the world go on below us, we are lost in time
And I don't know really what it means
All I know is that you love me, in my dreams
I keep hopin' one day I'll awaken, and somehow she'll be lying by my side
And as I wonder if the dawn is really breakin'
She touches me and suddenly I'm alive

Golden Country
Golden country your face is so red
With all of your money your poor can be fed
You strut around and you flirt with disaster
Never really carin just what comes after
Well your blacks are dyin but your back is still turned
And your freaks are cryin but your back is still turned
You better stop your hidin or your country will burn
The time has come for you my friend
To all this ugliness we must put an end
Before we leave we must make a stand
Mortgage people you crawl to your homes
Your security lies in your bed of white foam
You act concerned but then why turn away
When a lady was raped on your doorstep today
Well your blacks are cryin but your back is still turned
And your freaks are dyin but your back is still turned
You better stop your hidin or your country will burn
The time has come for you my friend
To all this ugliness we must put an end
Before we leave we must make a stand, oh yeah......

Music Man
Recently Ive been thinkin about what I am and where my priorities lie
Gettin it together on some future plan, decidin what I need to get by
I tried workin and schoolin but there just not my plan, oh no
Cant ya see Ill always be a music man
Well I could be pickin bluegrass or singin the blues,
It doesnt really matter to me
As long as Im playin the music I just cant lose,
And noones gonna tell me differently
Cause all I really care about is sittin right here in my hands,
Oh yeah
Cant ya see Ill always be a music man
Well my momma sits and worries about me for days
Even though she really likes the way the boy plays
My daddy tells her Im just goin through a phase
But thats just what he always says
I hear what theyre sayin but I take it with a grain of sand, oh yeah
Cant ya see Ill always be a music man
(repeat) yeah

Well my momma sits and worries about me for days

Tired Of Gettin Nowhere
Chorus:
Im tired of gettin nowhere, wish I was inspired, but its just not there
I hope this doesnt last, cause Im tired of gettin nowhere fast
Woke up this morning and went back to sleep
The sun was pourin and the rain was gettin deep
I dont know what Im supposed to do
cause everywhere I turn, I wind up headin back to you
I dont know how long I will lay here in this bed
Staring at the ceiling, going crazy in my head
Got to find some meaning, some kind of reason to go on
The only one I had was you and now youre gone, and
Chorus
My friends all tell me I should mellow out
Surely Ive got better things to think about
Must be something I can find to help me lose these blues
But the only thing thats on my mind, is standing in your shoes
Chorus
Youd think by now Id be exactly where I want to be
Got what I need, know what I need to know
Im all dressed up but without you theres nowhere to go

One Too Many Girlfriends
Talkin bout a hot-wired kid who thought he knew it all
And what he didnt know, he didnt need to
Changin women like tires when their use wore thin
Retread feelings, thats all we knew
Hes been runnin lights for years, grindin down those forward gears
Hes got a lady in the back seat, lady in the front seat
Eyes on the road and whispers in both ears
Chorus: one too many girlfriends, and too little feeling left
He better find the one, hes gonna take on the run, before it runs him down
Hes got far too many choices, he better make a few of them
He wants to have it all, and wind up standin tall
I hope his dream never ends, I guess it just depends
Hes got one too many girlfriends
Well theres so damn much writin written on his walls
I cant imagine that he doesnt read it
Such a loud clear message screaming through the halls
Keep your advice, he dont need it
Hes heard of living up to the truth, thinks it means giving up his youth
He doesnt wanna get a haircut, looking for a shortcut
He needs a change, he needs more than a phone booth

New Way To Love
Maybe we dont need to share the same roof, maybe
If you really love me, you dont need me round for proof, baby
If I go to the desert for some clean dry air
We could have ourselves a long distance love affair
Well take it anywhere, a nationwide pair
Well if your living together isnt working out
Id rather live in nebraska, than keep livin here in doubt
Ill take an alternate route, Ill find a new way
There are places to go that weve never dreamed of
Were gonna find a new way to love
Chorus:
Were gonna find a new way to love, find out what satisfies us
The good old ways just aint good enough
Were gonna find a new way to love
Maybe we could learn to like the same things, maybe
Discover the joy that togetherness brings, baby
We could share our records, we could see the same plays
Even plan our vacations for the very same days
Well put our lives in phase, livin in a happiness haze
Well it may not be easy, but then nothin else was
