I lost ten points just for being in the right place At exactly the wrong time I looked right at the facts there, but I may as well have Been completely blind So, if you see me walking all alone Don’t look back, I’m just on my way back home There’s a train leaves here this morning, and I don’t know, what I might be on She signed me to a contract, baby said it would All be so life long I looked around then for a reason When there wasn’t something more to blame it on But, if time makes a difference while we’re gone Tell me now, and I won’t be hanging on There’s a train leaves here this morning And I don’t know, what I might be on Ooo, ooo, ooo.. etc... 1320 north columbus was the address That I wrote down on my sleeve I don’t know just what she wanted Might have been that it was getting time to leave And I watched as the smoker passed it on And I laughed when the joker said, "lead on."

[Chorus:] There′s a hole in the world tonight. There′s a Cloud of fear and sorrow. There′s a hole in the world tonight. Don′t let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.
They say that anger is just love disappointed. They say that love is just a state of mind, but all this fighting over who will be anointed. Oh how can people be so blind
[Chorus:] There′s a hole in the world tonight. There′s a Cloud of fear and sorrow. There′s a hole in the world tonight. Don′t let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.
Oh they tell me there′s a place over yonder, cool water running through the burning sand, until we we learn to love one another we never reach the promise land.
[Chorus:] There′s a hole in the world tonight. There′s a Cloud of fear and sorrow. There′s a hole in the world tonight. Don′t let there be a hole in the world tomorrow.
He was a poor boy, raised in a small family He kinda had a craving for somethin’ no one else could see They say that he was crazy, The kind that no lady should meet He ran out to the city and wandered around in the street He wants to dance, oh yeah, He wants to sing, oh yeah, He wants to see the lights a flashin’ and listen To the thunder ring
He saw it in a window The mark of a new kind of man He kinda liked the feeling, so shiny and smooth in his hand He took it to the country and practiced for days without rest And then one day he felt if, He knew he could stand with the best
They got respect, oh yeah, He wants the same, oh yeah, And it’s a certain kind of fool who Like to hear the sound of his own name Oo...
A poster on a storefront, the picture of a wanted man He had a reputation spreading like fire throughout the land It wasn’t for the money, at least it didn’t star t that way It wasn’t for the runnin’ , but now he’s runnin’ everyday
Springtime, and the acacias are blooming Southern california will see one more day Dreamland, and bus’ness is booming, The birds are a singing as I drift away
She looks another year older, From too many lovers who used her and ran But some nights, oh, she looks like an angel And she’s always willing to hold you again
So give her this dance, She can’t be forsaken Learn how to love her with all of her faults
She gave more than she’s taken, And I’ll go down doing the hollywood waltz
Springtime and the lady is grieving The lovers just stand there with nothing to say They got what they wanted, They’re packing and leaving To look for another to love the same way
So give her this dance, She can’t be forsaken Learn how to love her With all of her faults She gave more than she’s taken And I’ll go down doing the hollywood waltz The hollywood waltz
Stare out the window, You can’t make the time go You don’t even know why you’re here Wait for the weekend to go off the deep end And make everything disappear You’re lost in a teenage jail So you and so vicious and so frail Where something is always for sale You’re lost in a teenage jail.
You’re not like your mothers. You’re not like the others You’re not quite like anyone else,
They don’t even know you, Got nothing to show you, So get something good for yourself You’re lost in a teenage jail So young and so vicious and so frail Where something is always for sale. You’re lost in a teenage jail
Once I was young and so unsure I’d try any ill to find the cure An old man told me Tryin’ to scold me ’oh, son, don’t wade to deep in bitter creek,’ (bitter creek) Out where the desert meets the sky Is where I go when I wanna hide
Oh, peyote (oh,peyote,mm) She tried to show me (tried to show me) You know there ain’t no cause to weep At bitter creek (bitter creek) Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo Doo, doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
We’re gonna hit the road for one last time We can walk right in and steal ’em blind All that money (all that money,ooh..) No more runnin’ (no more runnin’) I can’t wait to see the old man’s face When I win the race (bitter creek) Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo, Doo doo doo doo doo Doo..........
I wish you peace when the cold winds blow Warmed by the fire′s glow I wish you comfort in the, the lonely time And arms to hold you when you ache inside
I wish you hope when things are going bad Kind words when times are sad I wish you shelter from the, the raging wind Cooling waters at the fever′s end
I wish you peace when times are hard The light to guide you through the dark And when storms are high and your, your dreams are low
I wish you the strength to let love grow on, I wish you the strength to let love flow,
I wish you peace when times are hard A light to guide you through the dark And when storms are high and your, you dreams are low I wish you the strength to let let grown on, I wish you the strength to let love flow, I wish you the strength to let love glow on I wish you the strength to let love go on
Sitting by a foggy window Staring at the pouring rain Falling down like lonely teardrops Memories of love in vain These cloudy days, make you wanna cry It breaks your heart when someone leaves and you don’t know why
I can see that you’ve been hurting, baby I’ve been lonely too I’ve been out here lost and searching, looking for a girl like you Now I believe the sun is gonna shine Don’t you be afraid to love again, put your hand in mine…
Baby, I would never make you cry I would never make you blue I would never let you down I would never be untrue
I know a place where we can go where true love always stays There’s no more stormy nights, no more cloudy days
I believe in second chances I believe in angels, too I believe in new romances Baby, I believe in you These cloudy days are coming to an end And you don’t have to be afraid to fall in love again
Baby, I would never make you cry I would never make you blue I would never turn away I would never be untrue I know a place where we can go where true love always stays There’s no more stormy nights, no more cloudy days
Oo, midnight flyer Engineer, won’t you let your whistle moan? Oo, midnight flyer I paid my dues and I feel like trav’lin’ on A runaway team of horses ain’t enough to make me stay So throw your rope on another man And pull him down your way Make him into someone who can take the place of me Make him every kind of fool you wanted me to be
Oo, midnight flyer Engineer, won’t you let your whistle moan? Oo, midnight flyer, I paid my dues and I feel like trav’lin’ on Maybe I’ll go to santa fe, maybe san antone, Any town is where I’m bound any way to get me gone Don’t think about me, never let me cross your mind ’cept when you hear that midnight lonesome whistle whine
Oo, midnight flyer Engineer, won’t you let your whistle moan? Oo, midnight flyer I paid my dues and I feel like trav’lin’ on I paid my dues and I feel like trav’lin’ on
It’s another tequila sunrise Starin’ slowly ’cross the sky, said goodbye He was just a hired hand Workin’ on the dreams he planned to try The days go by
Every night when the sun goes down Just another lonely boy in town And she’s out runnin’ ’round
She wasn’t just another woman And I couldn’t keep from comin’ on It’s been so long Oh, and it’s a hollow feelin’ when It comes down to dealin’ friends It never ends
Take another shot of courage Wonder why the right words never come You just get numb It’s another tequila sunrise,this old world Still looks the same, Another frame, mm...
Bells will be ringing this sad sad New Years Oh what a Christmas to have the blues My baby′s gone I have no friends To wish me greetings once again Cries will be singing Silent Night Christmas carols by candlelight Please come home for Christmas Please come home for Christmas If not for Christmas by New Years night Friends and relations send salutations Sure as the stars shine above But this is Christmas yes Christmas my dear The time of year to be with the ones you love So won′t you tell me you′ll never more roam Christmas and new Years will find you home There′ll be no more sorrow no grief and pain And I′ll be happy, happy once again Oh there′ll be no more sorrow, no grief and pain And I′ll be happy, Christmas once again
They were duelin′, Doolin-Dalton High or low, it was the same Easy money and faithless women Red-eye whiskey for the pain Go down, Bill Dalton, it must be God′s will, Two brothers lyin′ dead in Coffeyville Two voices call to you from where they stood Lay down your lay books now They′re no damn good Better keep on movin′, Doolin-Dalton ′Til your shadow sets you free If you′re fast, and if you′re lucky You will never see that hangin′ tree
Well, the towns lay out across the dusty plains Like graveyards filled with tombstones, waitin′ for the names And a man could use his back, or use his brains But some just went stir crazy, Lord, ′cause nothin′ ever changed ′Til Bill Doolin met Bill Dalton He was workin′ cheap, just bidin′ time Then he laughed and said,"I′m goin," And so he left that peaceful life behind Mm

Lookin’ for the good life Dressed to kill She don’t have to worry ’cause There’s always someone else who will Loose and loaded every night Dancin’ underneath the flashin’ light Sayin, ’look at me, baby, look at me. I’m beautiful, I’m beautiful, I’m somebody.’ Just slip into the arms of the disco strangler
He’s been around here all along, baby, Been waiting for his time to come. You lookin’ for attention, darlin’ He will surely give you some
He’s the crimson in your face du jour, The fiddler in your darkest night. He’s the melody without a cure and Rome is burning, but that’s all right. Just slip into the arms of the disco strangler Just slip into the arms of the disco strangler
Hi there, How are ′ya? it′s been a long time My, but we learn so slow and heroes, they come and they go and leave us behind as if we′re s′pposed to know why Why do we give up our hearts to the past? and why must we grow up so fast? And all you wishing well fools with your fortunes someone should send you a rose with love from a friend, it′s nice to here from you again And the storybook comes to a close Gone are the ribbons and bows Things to remember places to go Pretty Maids all in a Row Oh, oh oh, oh......
Twenty One and strong as I can be I know what freedom means to me And I can′t give a reason why I should ever want to die
I got no cause to be afraid Or fear that life′ll ever fade Cause as I watch the risin sun I know that we have just begun
And I might spend my life upon the road Just tryin to add to what I know And someday I might settle down And all my friends′ll be around
They say a man should have a stock and trade But me, I′ll find another way I believe in gettin what you can And there ain′t no stoppin this young man
Twenty One and fast as I can be I know what freedom means to me And I can′t give a reason why I should ever want to die And I can′t give a reason why I should ever want to die
Raven hair and ruby lips Sparks fly from her finger tips Echoed voices in the night She’s a restless spirit on an endless flight Wooo hooo witchy woman, see how High she flies Woo hoo witchy woman she got The moon in her eye She held me spellbound in the night Dancing shadows and firelight Crazy laughter in another Room and she drove herself to madness With a silver spoon Woo hoo witchy woman see how high she flies Woo hoo witchy woman she got the moon in her eye Well I know you want a lover, Let me tell your brother, she’s been sleeping In the devil’s bed. And there’s some rumors going round Someone’s underground She can rock you in the nighttime ’til your skin turns red Woo hoo witchy woman See how high she flies Woo hoo witchy woman She got the moon in her eye
It wasn’t reall sad the way they said good-bye Or maybe it just hurt so bad she couldn’t cry He packed his things, walked out the door and drove away And she became the girl from yesterday
He took a plane across the sea To some foreign land She stayed at home and tried to understand How someone who had been so close could be so far away And she became the girl from yesterday
She doesn’t know what’s right She doesn’t know what’s wrong She only knows the pain that comes from waiting for so long And she doesn’t count the teardrops That she’s cried while he’s away Because she knows deep in her heart That he’ll be back someday
The light’s on in the window; she’s waiting by the phone Talking to a memory that’s never coming home She dreams of his returning and the things that he might say But she’ll always be the girl from yesterday Yeh, she’ll always be the girl from yesterday
Tell me the truth, how do you feel? Like you’re rollin’ so fast that you’re spinnin’ your wheels? Don’t feel too bad, you’re not all along We’re all tryin’ to get along With ev’rybody else try’n’ to go their way You’re bound to get tripped, and what can you say? Just go along ’til they turn out the lights There’s nothin’ we can do to fight it
No man’s got it made till he’s far beyond the pain And we who must remain go on living just the same
I once knew a man, very talented guy He’s sing for the people and people would cry They knew that his song came from deep down inside You could hear it in his voice and see it in his eyes
And so he traveled along, touch your heart, then be gone Like a flower, he bloomed till that old hickory wind Called him home
My man’s got it made He’s gone far beyond the pain And we who must remain go on living just the same We who must remain go on laughing just the same
I like the way your sparkling earrings lay against your skin it′s so brown and I wanna sleep with you in the desert tonight with a billion stars all around ′cause I gotta peaceful easy feeling and I know you won′t let me down ′cause I′m already standing on the ground And I found out a long time ago what a woman can do to your soul Ah but she can′t take you anyway You don′t already know how to go and I gotta peaceful, easy feeling and I know you won′t let me down ′cause I′m already standing on the ground I get this feeling I may know you as a lover and a friend but this voice keeps whispering in my other ear, tells me I may never see you again ′cause I get a peaceful, easy feeling and I know you won′t let me down ′cause I′m already standing on the ground ′cause I′m already standing... on the ground oooo, oooo
Open up your eyes Take the devil from your mind He’s been holding on to you And you’re so hard to find The wind outside is cold Restless feeling in my soul Tempting me to get away But there’s no place a man can go God, will you lead me where I roam? Help me not to let my feelings show No, no you are the one, oh, how could you be So blind? The devil prays on runaways He’s never far behind The many years I’ve tried Now have been revealed to me Closer is the love you’ll find Waiting so patiently God, will you lead me where I roam? Help me not to let my feelings show. No, no Take the devil Take the devil From your mind
Most of us are sad No one lets it show I’ve been shadows of myself How was I to know? Tell me scarlet sun What will time allow? We have brought our children Here who can save them now? Oh, weeping woman try to smile Like the coming dawn Most of us are sad it’s true Still we must go on Love was here today Oh the sun was bright I will sing you faraway Love is here tonight Most of us are sad No one lets it show I’ve been shadows of myself How was I to know?
Seems like a dream now, it was so long ago The moon burned so bright and the time went so slow And I swore that I loved her and gave her a ring The bluebird was high on the wing
Whatever happened to saturday night Finding a sweetheart and holding her tight? She said,"tell me, oh, tell me, was I alright? " Whatever happened to saturday night?
The years brought the railroad It ran by my door Now there’s boards on the windows And dust on the floor And she passes the time at another man’s side And I pass the time with my pride
What a tangled web we weave Go ’round with circumstance Someone show me how to tell the dancer From the dance
What ever happened To saturday night? Choosin’ a friend and loosin’ a fight She said,"tell me, oh, tell me, are you alright? " Whatever happened to saturday night? Whatever happened to saturday night?
I was standing All alone against the world outside You were searching For a place to hide
Lost and lonely Now you’ve given me the will to survive When we’re hungry...love will keep us alive
Don’t you worry Sometimes you’ve just gotta let it ride The world is changing Right before your eyes Now I’ve found you There’s no more emptiness inside When we’re hungry...love will keep us alive
I would die for you Climb the highest mountain Baby, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do
I was standing All alone against the worlk outside You were searching For a place to hide Lost and lonely Now you’ve given me the will to survive When we’re hungry...love will keep us alive When we’re hungry...love will keep us alive When we’re hungry...love will keep us alive
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair, Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air, Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light, My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim, I had to stop for the night,
There she stood in the doorway, I heard the mission bell, And I was thinking to myself, ′This could be Heaven or this could be Hell′, Then she lit up a candle, and she showed me the way, There were voices down the corridor, I thought I heard them say...
Welcome to the Hotel California, Such a lovely place, Such a lovely face, Plenty of room at the Hotel California, Any time of year, you can find it here
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz, She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends, How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat, Some dance to remember, some dance to forget,
So I called up the Captain, ′Please bring me my wine′ He said, ′We haven′t had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine′, And still those voices are calling from far away, Wake you up in the middle of the night, Just to hear them say...
Welcome to the Hotel California, Such a lovely place, Such a lovely face, They livin’ it up at the Hotel California, What a nice surprise, bring your alibis,
Mirrors on the ceiling, The pink champagne on ice, And she said ′We are all just prisoners here, of our own device′, And in the master′s chambers, They gathered for the feast, The stab it with their steely knives, But they just can′t kill the beast,
Last thing I remember, I was, Running for the door, I had to find the passage back, To the place I was before, ′Relax,′ said the night man, We are programmed to receive, You can check out any time you like, But you can never leave.
