Tom, I'm off work today, so I'm piddlin' 'round and found this (not responsible for content--haven't read all of it yet, print too small on the webpage I got it from, I'll read it now):
Barrel House LyricsPolice ShowSirens in the street at night, coming for my head
Speeding through the traffic lights I'm better off dead
5-0 pulls a gun on me, frames me once again,
Mug shot number 25, need my babies bail again.
[Pre-chorus]
Cuz I'm locked down, shut down, breakin' rocks again.
Put down, thrown down, back up in the pen.
[Chorus]
Aint no way they'll ever let me be,
Book me everytime they set me free.
Aint no way they'll ever let me be,
Book me everytime they set me free.
Visit from my mama, she's a supermarket thief.
Don't know why I'm stuck in here when it's her and it aint me.
Warden wants to see me, says that I aint leaving soon,
Loves my mama's cookin and her desert it tastes so good.
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
Finally got wings attached, shackles off my wrists,
Wouldn't you know my baby's back to ask me where I been.
Says she wants my money, says she needs my car.
Wish I'd never gotten, cuz I aint going very far
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
Hidin' in a BottleEverything was fine, I'd moved on with my life,
And you came marching into town.
Weren't you told, that you're getting to old
And your memory has burned to the ground.
[Chorus]
I thought it was a blessing when you came here from the past,
But you we're hiding in a bottle.
I thought you'd cleaned up but I knew it'd never last.
You couldn't be a model.
Now you're drowning, now you're drowning, now you're drowning in a bottle.
I saw you at the crossroads trying to make it right
Aint no devil gonna help you win a fight.
He'll steal all your money, and take away your pride,
So go ahead enjoy the ride.
[Chorus]
Now go away for good, I aint even in the mood
To set your little crooked nose straight.
Tail between your legs, like a dog you better stray,
Cuz I never wanna see you back this way.
[Chorus]
The Sky is FallingGot a call today
Don't feel so good
My baby says the sky is falling
Guess I should
Open up the windows
Feel the breeze
Call my baby
And beg her please
To come an see the sunset
Come and feel the sunshine
And if it's the last we see
It'll be just her and me.
[Chorus]
But if the sky, should fall,
Where would we fly, could we dream at all
And if you cry, don't you feel so down
We'll climb the mountains, and we'll catch the clouds.
Got my bags packed
Gonna hit the road
Me and my baby
Gonna get the gold
At the end of the rainbow
When the sky comes down
We'll have a path to follow
As it hits the ground
We'll walk into the sunset
And feel the breeze
Me and my baby
Heading for the sea
[Chorus]
The BeastThe Beast came out of Texas
Circa 1981
Hitched a ride out to the crossroads
Dressed like Stevie Ray Vaughan
Never have I seen a man
S o burly, big and strong
Got tattoos on all six arms.
More hands to do more wrong.
[Chorus]
The Beast, oh the Beast
He'll have you running for your life
The Beast, oh the Beast
Keep your mojo working if you wanna stand a fight [x2]
Took the watch off my nightstand
Left me with a flat
Stole my grandma's recipe
And my father's favorite hat
My woman was so nice and sweet
Switched my sugar with my salt
She kicked me out just yesterday
You know it aint my fault
[Chorus]
The WellWouldn't you like to tell me
What more can I do?
Weight on my back keeps growing
Walking the line
[Chorus #1]
But I feel like Im falling
The rabbit hole's calling
My name out loud.
Can you send help down
The well?
Darkness in the morning.
Echoes hear my sound.
Wouldn't you like to tell me
Exit is down?
[Chorus #2]
I let myself keep sliding,
Down this deep dark hole.
Don't know why I keep fighting.
Consuming my soul
Til I'm finally done falling
I might find my calling
I'll stay here forever
The whiskey tastes better
I'll scream out loud
So you'll come on down
The well.
Aint no way to tell you
How the rabbit disappears
But a trip into the darkness
Make it all clear
Til your finally done falling
You might find your calling
You'll stay here forever
The whiskey tastes better
So scream out loud
So we'll all come down
The well.
A poet dares be just so clear and no clearer.... He unzips the veil from beauty, but does not remove it. A poet utterly clear is a trifle glaring. ~E.B. White
