FROM THE DAY I WAS BORN From
the day I was born
I couldn't get a break
I don't look for trouble
But
it has my shape Now I walk along
Sing my
song
Got my axe to grind
And the road is long On
the day I die
Just need that woman
To say it was okay
Then she'll lay
me down dyin' Ain't no good luck
But it
ain't that bad
Got my axe to grind
The road is wide ahead
GOOD TIMIN' MAN Good
timin' man
Can't find a bed
Tell all your friends
He gotta rest his
head Just another day
I can't find my smokes
I
guess you call it the blues
But it ain't no joke Good
timin' man
Wants to fly away
Hangover blues
But it's here to stay Just
another day
I can't find my smokes
Gonna ride away
But you're in my spokes Good
timin' man
Buy you a big, fat ring
Loosen it on up
I can hear ya sing
I GOT YOUR NUMBER I
got your number
I watch you go along
A holding pattern
Hear your favorite
song I want to see ya get down
From the
back to the front
You can hear the music
It can make ya jump I
got your number
So don't move your leg
Hold it or mess around
Got your
red dress pegged I want to see ya get down
From
the back to the front
You can hear the music
It can make ya jump TRY
TO FIND A PLACE Try
to find a place
Where I can hang my hat
Just need a couch
Don't need
no rats Walk along the road
It's hard and
dusty
All the feet before
I ain't so rusty Back
on the farm
I balled up on the floor
When my baby left me
I leave a light
in the door Walk along the road
Try to gather
it up
Be rich in heaven
Be poor on the trust STARTS
WITH THE MORNIN' Oooh
yeah Starts with the mornin'
And it always
has
Stay up so late
But the sun won't wait I
once was a boy
But now I'm a man
I tell you baby
I do what I can Starts
with the mornin'
Just another day
All the women wait
But the sun keeps
comin' I once was a boy
But now I'm a man
I
tell you baby
I do what I can
I
CAN'T FIND THE BED
I
can't find the bed
I can't rest my head
The mean old woman
She left me
for dead She make me sad and lonely
You
know she's tellin' lies
I sit by the whiskey jug
I look her in the eyes Look
at the water
Look at the blue
My love is big
She knows me, too She
makes me sad and lonely
What can I do?
Tear up all her letters
Like the
doctor do I can't find the bed
WHERE IS THE NUMBER? Where
is the number?
It was by the bed?
I asked for lumber
I got this instead You
will be sorry
But you just can't change
You been done wrong
Damage in
the brain Where is the number?
How did it
get away?
Gone for good, now
Freedom is a steep price to pay
You
will be sorry
But you just can't change
You been done wrong
Damage in
the brain GIVE
ME SOME COFFEE Give
me some coffee
Bake me some bread
Give me some drink
So I can soothe
my head Ah the men they lie
Make the woman
cry
It's wretched weather
But she ain't gonna die Rain
down the tears
Fallin' down in sheets
You fight, you scream
Runnin' through
the streets Ah the men they lie
Make the
woman cry
It's wretched weather
But she ain't gonna die
SEE A TRAiN A-ROLLIN' See
the train a-rollin
See the cars go by
See the rain a-fallin'
Hear the
baby cry Here comes the night
I'm on the
move
Hounds of hell a-fright
Try to bite my shoes See
a train a-rollin
Someone's at the door
The ghosts are risin'
Can't take
it no more Here comes the night
I'm on
the move
Hounds of hell a-fright
Try to bite my shoes
WE'RE BACK TO MONDAY We're
back to Monday
Got another week
Strap on the badge
Got to beat the feet See
the black crow fly
Hear the dog barkin'
Take me to my knees
I begin to
pray We're back to Monday
Where did it go?
Another
time we lost
Another long time show See
the black crow fly
Hear the dog barkin'
Take me to my knees
I begin to
pray IT'S
A BIG WHITE MOON It's
a big white moon
At the edge of the night
Saw someone sneakin'
In the
back door light I'm gonna write a song
So
everyone in town
Can find the girl in the west
So she run around She's
a mean old woman
She likes to take a chance
She's got no good numbers
In
the pockets of her pants I'm gonna write a
song
Cause I'm all alone
Can find the girl in the west
You know I can't
come home FLOOD
Got
stuck in the flood
Got a shot at heaven
Saw a pool of blood
This goes
to eleven Gonna take a shot
Gonna bash
it in
Gonna kill the pig
Gonna do it again Got
stuck in the flood
Messed up redemption
Diggin' all the ditches
Like
some salvation Gonna take a shot
Gonna
bash it in
Gonna kill the pig
Gonna do it again
MIND OF TROUBLE #1 Got
a mind of trouble
Gotta take bath
To all and sundry
We kicked some ass Got
full of the fight
Like '71
Had to find the light
Up came the sun Got
a mind of trouble
Like some British Beans
Can I have a double
Down in
New Orleans Got full of the fight
Like
'71
Had to find the light
Up came the sun MIND
OF TROUBLE #2 Got
bruised and battered
Parted with the past
To all and sundry
We kicked
some ass Got full of the fight
Like '71
Had
to raise a ruckus
Up came the sun Got bruised
and battered
Tried to make some noise
And all that mattered
Was soon
destroyed Got full of the fight
Like '71
Had
to raise a ruckus
Up came the sun MIND
OF TROUBLE #3 Got
a mind of trouble
Watch it float ahead
Black cat seein' double
Make sure
he's fed So full of the fight
Tryin' to
forget
I couldn't get away
There was nothin' left All
the up and comers
They think they're fine
They come together
And drink
up my wine So full of the fight
Tryin' to
forget
I couldn't get away
There was nothin' left
MY
LADY TOLD ME
You
know my lady told me
To find your own way
Do the dance and boogie
I don't
care to say I came to the city
Down on Bourbon
Street
All the people movin'
To the funky beat You
know my lady told me
She said to stay the night
She said to have a ball
If
you're full of the fight All through city
Down
on Bourbon Street
All the people movin'
The whole damn week You
know my lady told me HARVEST
Hear
the sound of freedom
Closer to the bone
Was a callous call
Through the
rainstorms I can hear 'em comin'
Got a lot
to reap
It's another harvest
Through the dead trees Black
cat howlin'
Show you the way
Over those two hills
Someone died today I
can hear 'em comin'
Got a lot to reap
It's another harvest
Through the
dead trees TOOK
A SHOT AT HEAVEN Took
a shot at heaven
Father, I must go
I can hear them singin'
Searchin'
high and low Go down Moses
Tell me what
to do
After all this toil
Please let me loose Took
a shot at heaven
Been all around the divide
Dead, spoiled and in chains
By
the waterside Go down Moses
Tell me what
to do
After all this toil
Please let me loose HONEY
LADY Got
a honey lady
Down by the shore
She's a workin' woman
Gonna carry me o'er A
big, blazing fire
On a barren land
Fell down in chains
Come take my hand Got
a honey lady
She help to lay the rail
Wade in the water
She could never
fail A big, blazing fire
On a barren land
Fell
down in chains
Come take my hand CASTAWAY
The
man was cast away
Watch his arms flail
Singin' and mournin'
When his
ship set sail He's in the wilderness
So
baby don't cry
In the unknown land
People never die Gonna
take his boat
To the other side
Where the water's deep
And the roads
are wide He's in the wilderness
So baby
don't cry
In the unknown land
People never die ALL
THE HALLELUJAHS All
the Hallelujahs
Won't help when I leave
Ain't been before
So you can
Halle me Gonna raise a ruckus
Like a funeral
song
In a bundle of rags
Caught rollin' round See
the cattle movin'
They keep their pace
To the top of the hill
To the
end of the race Gonna raise a ruckus
Like
a funeral song
In a bundle of rags
Caught rollin' round
