Trainwreck Blues

After the train wreck
I lost my cassette deck
I lost my traveller's check
I'm gonna burn your house down.
Diana with her morning dress
How old are you now anyway?
The sparrow's in the air now
I don't see no angels
Looking upwards again
I see the mourning band
I've got to catch hell blues
I say and away
Looking upwards again
I see the wedding bells
I've got to catch hell blues
I say and away
Silver thatched television news,
Some Braxton brag and a travelling bag
A baritone voice with some Calderon poets
Naked as the day you were born
Little cream soda, I've a dollar bill in my hands
Man, I've gone broke and there's nothing left for me to tell ya.
If you're going to your grave
Don't blame the hearse when it's your day

Ophelia

The only girl that I ever did love,
She was born with roses in her eyes
Ophelia, where have you gone?
Ophelia, please come back home
It all began on a warm summer night
I suppose it was one of them nights
Ophelia, what went wrong?
Ophelia, please darken my door
And now she's gone, a-long gone.
Love you rest of my life
You are a friend of mine
Ophelia, a song for you
Ophelia, I miss you so
She's on my mind, a-day to day
And I'm still waiting
the second coming of Ophelia
Where have you gone?
Ophelia, I used to call you my only home

Sweetheart Of The Rodeo

I'm on my way,
I never meant to stay,
And it sure feels good to be back home.
And I'm walking on the water
'Cos I never learned to swim,
I walked across an ocean,
Now I'm back again.
I know my fortune's in the wind,
Don't matter whichever way I'm heading,
I won't be kidding myself too
For time is a-fleeting
Good luck to you, my friend
Whichever way you're goin'
So long
And fare thee well
It was over before it could even begin.
So I got me a one way ticket from London Town,
Yea, I'm leaving this place,
'Cos it brings me down,
Bound for glory, glory bound
I know my fortune's in the wind,
Don't matter whichever way I'm heading,
I won't be kidding myself too,
For time is a-fleeting,
Good luck to you, my friend
Which ever way you're goin'
Don't be foolin' yerself kid,
For time is a-fleeting,
Good night to you my friend
Which ever way you're headin'
If life is so short,
Then tell me why
Are the nights so long
'Cos if you gave me
Just a single dollar
I'll find a game
And I'll turn it into five
So tell me how
Can a man like me
Have mercy on my soul
Remain in the light
And I'll die
Among the sweethearts of the rodeo
And I'll lie
Amongst the rebels and thieves
And I'll die
Among the sweethearts of the rodeo
And I'll lie
Amongst the rebels and thieves
And all those things you've learned
Won't get you through the night

Let's go watch,
The band on the stand,
Under the whiter blaze of stars,
Come and take my hand.
There's a callin' outside my door,
Something tellin' me i got to go,
Tell my mama I love her so,
In the morning I won't hear the roosters crow.
We were driving down the highway, dreaming,
Passing through the town,
Passing through the city.
A hurricane blew all my stars away.
All I ever wanted was never what I needed.
There's a callin' outside my door,
Something tellin' me i got to go,
Tell my mama I love her so,
In the morning, won't hear the roosters crow.
And what you thought was a hurricane was just the howlin' of the wind,
And what you thought was a hurricane was just the howlin' of the wind.

Hometownes I

Too late to start again, no I won't.
Yea, I don't have any plans and,
I'm bound to pick it up someday.
Too late to start again, no I won't.
Everyone's caught up with the times and,
The world will never learn this thing I know.
Look outside by your hometown.
When you see no sun, a-shining down on you.
Just take the high road and may your eyes be true.
So here we go,
Young hearts on fire,
My jeans were torn from a skateboard
and I'm so bored won't do no chores
Sun-kissed and stoned
Those guys were jerks.
So here we go

All those chills,
And two saints over the photograph,
My old man wasn't that invincible,
In fact, right now,
He's lying down in some hospital,
I just need cause to celebrate,
Where does that leave me now?
I'm not sure,
Exactly how I got here,
But it looks like I'm stuck between stations,
How am I supposed to know that you're high
When you won't even dance to a single,
A single tune?
Where does that leave me now?
Sell that soul,
That's fine with me,
And if you get shot while getting high alone,
Save me, I can't get no saving,
You're no virgin, kid,
You were fucked from the get up,
And I feel like goin' on,
I feel like goin' on anyways.
On the first day of spring,
We woke up like we've never been scared before,
Can I walk around and hang some more?
And they said, words alone can never save us,
And I went away to school that fall.
I am the runner's son,
I am my mother's wayward child,
And I don't need no lovin',
And they say, he caught the ferry,
Right now it's all about seventy three,
Why did you leave poor ma alone?
Where does that leave me now?
Sell that soul,
That's fine with me,
And if you get shot while getting high alone,
Save me, I can't get no saving,
You're no virgin, kid,
You were fucked from the get up,
And I feel like goin' on,
And I feel like goin' on anyways.

Lightnin'

Lighting may strike,
Your poor heart tonight,
Never again my friend, never twice,
'Cos the love you deserve is coming,
On stormy winds.
Well, I got folks saying,
No, it can't be done,
Yeah, I showed them the job,
And I inspect the opposition.
And I never sold my soul,
If you see the home lights,
Look at her go,
I said, if you see the home lights,
Look at her go.
I was jealous, I was cruel,
To a young girl that I once knew,
Never again my friend, never twice,
Oh, if i get the chance I'll be braver,
And run into the setting sun.

Rest assured it all turns right
Well, I've been gone for a little while
Take your time, it's all over
Got no weight resting on my heavy shoulders.
I'm not carried away,
I'm not going away.
I'll get carried away,
I'm going away.
What's with the name?
Same as the old clouds,
Running away with sparkles in the air.
Hanging around,
You make out the best of shades,
Figure it out, I'll make,
I'll make the colours instead.
I'm not carried away,
I'm not going away.
I'll get carried away,
I'm going away.
I'm not carried away,
I'm not going away.
I'll get carried away,
I'm going away.
