Out on the road in the wind and snow
I'm just a road dog Canadian boy
And I found myself alone out at the south end of a bottle
In the north end of Champagne, Illinois
It's the crack of dawn I got my radio on
And I pull her off the old interstate
Cause the backroad's calling
I'm in no rush at all
I'm just traveling across the US of A
I'm going out to California
But not because I wanted to
But my woman found some work out on the Sunset Strip
It was an offer that she couldn't refuse
So I'm making my way to Californ I A
To the ocean and the warm sunshine
Now I'm a little bitty fish in a pond of barracudas
And I think I'm gonna lose my mind
St. Lou, Mizzou is coming into my view
I seen some travelers who needed a ride
I took them trippy little hippies right across the Mississippi
And they hopped out on the other side
I got a bag to go and now I'm back on the road
With my mind's eye opened wide
A little something for the boredom of the plains of Oklahoma
Gotta get to Amarillo tonight
I'm going out to California
But not because I wanted to
But my woman found some work out on the Sunset Strip
It was an offer that she couldn't refuse
So I'm making my way to Californ I A
To the ocean and the warm sunshine
Now I'm a little bitty fish in a pond of barracudas
And I think I'm gonna lose my mind
Well I'm a bit of a mess when I head out of Texas
And I'm rolling into New Mexico
Cause I pulled an all nighter with the truckers and the bikers
And I slept out by the side of the road
I still taste the Wild Turkey when I burn through Albuquerque
With the pedal nailed down to the floor
All night through Arizona just to get to California
And to find out that my woman isn't mine anymore

Out of Time

You don't know what's going on
You've been away for far too long
You can't come back and think you are still mine
You're out of touch, my baby
My poor discarded baby
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
You are left out
Out of there without a doubt, 'cause
Baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
The girl who wants to run away
Discovers that she's had her day
It's no good you're thinking that you are still mine
You're out of touch, my baby
My poor, unfaithful baby
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Yes, you are left out
Out of there without a doubt, 'cause
Baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
You thought you were a clever girl
Giving up your social whirl
But you can't come back and be the first in line, oh no
You're obsolete, my baby
My poor old-fashioned baby
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Well, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said, baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Yes, you are left out
Out of there without a doubt, 'cause
Baby, baby, baby, you're out of time

My girl hates it when I play those old time country songs
My little guy never wants to sing along
Cause they don't get them high and lonesome feelings you'll get when you've grown some
They don't understand a sad, sad song
Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star and the Farmer in the Dell
Don't help me none when I feel like hell
But Ring Around The Rosie's much more up my alley that one's scary
Ashes, ashes everybody dies
It's time for bed now so lay your heads down
And dream those pretty dreams
When morning comes, remember them for me
Cause I don't dream much anymore and
I woke up on the bathroom floor
Just know I love you even when I'm sad
Oh, I still love you even when I'm sad

Long Since Lost
04:06
|

|
I woke up to find that you'd left
And taken the moments that we'd never met
I call on the day to lessen the weight
Reveal my fate
I remember the time we first met
I strained so hard to catch your breath
It all unraveled oh so fast
The whisky and drugs
That covered our path 'till we were lost
Now here I wait
Still I wait
Still I wait
Now I sit on the stoop every night
Hoping the day
Praying she might
Bring back the love
Long since lost to this heart
Now here I wait
Still I wait
Still I wait
For my love

C'Mon Let's Go

C'mon let's go
Don't wanna be the one that's left alone (No)
And I have always thought (What did you know?)
That a fool could be bought
C'mon darling let's go to town
Steal some souls and then roll around
Leave this town buried in our dust
Don't you know you know we're moving on
You don't love me but you will
Stay right there don't move be still
You will love me when you find (What did you do?)
Stole a soul just for fun
Let's go hang out for a while
Watch the heat pass us by
Let's hang low where they try to save them souls
You know the place where no one ever goes
C'mon darling let's go to town
Steal some souls and then roll around
Leave this town buried in our dust
Oh you know it's time for moving on
You don't love me but you will
Stay right there don't move be still
You will love me when you find (What did you do?)
Stole a soul just for fun
C'mon darling let's rise and shine
Step outside and catch our stride
Feel the sun all upon our backs
And let this town know we're never coming back

Bluebird Wine

Baby brought me in out off the highway
Made me put my money in the bank
Straightened out my crooked way of thinking
Made it purely pleasure when I drank
And it's all right now
I've just hit my stride
Right off the bat
Lord, I'm drunk on bluebird wine
Now baby taught me a different way of thinkin'
Like how to spend my evenings here at home
Listening to the music on the radio
Drinking all the bluebird we can hold
And it's all right now
I've just hit my stride
Right off the bat
Lord, I'm drunk on bluebird wine
And it's all right
I've just hit my stride
Party just started
Lord I'm drunk on bluebird wine
Well baby says she'd really love a party
We'll get some friends together feelin' fine
Any friend of mine is worth his habit
A belly full of baby's bluebird wine
And it's all right
I've just hit my stride
Right off the bat
Lord, I'm drunk on bluebird wine
And it's all right now
I've just hit my stride
Party just started
Lord I'm drunk on bluebird wine

I'm going down to the LA River
Gonna do a little drinking and I'll think a little wine
You won't catch a fish but you're bound to catch something
And I'm never ever ever never ever gonna die
I bet that she was postcard pretty once
And I bet that she ran clean and straight
Until they paved her over and they left her to rot
Out in the California sun next to the interstate
You do what you can when you're living at the river
Up underneath the bridges on the shady ground
It's live free or die it's an eye for an eye
But it sure is better than living downtown
It sure is a nice day down at the river
Yeah it sure is a fine way to waste a little time
So come on round down to Frogtown mama
We can sit by the water and we'll drink a little wine
Cause I'm goin down to the LA River
Gonna do a little drinking and I'll think a little wine
You won't catch a fish but your bound to catch something
And I'm never ever ever never ever gonna die
Never ever ever never ever gonna die

French Exit

Well you’re down again
And you haven’t seen your cat in days
You don’t know where he’s been
You just stagger on in place
You’re falling down
You don’t know where he’s gone
Well the sun don’t shine
Where you find yourself today
Oh never mind
You never meant those things anyway
Then you tell me that you’ll never make the same mistakes
As me
You don’t know what you’ve done
Oh, the damage you’ve done
You’re in Paris now
You say things just ain’t the same
Your dad’s run off
He ain’t coming back again
In the Seine
Is where you drown your sins
Oh, but they just won't stay down
No, they just won’t stay down
