Black Cat

|

Black Cat Struttin’ like that
Thin grin looking hungry again
Bad Luck, Bad Break, Black Cat
I knew this girl her name was Sue
One night I had nothin' to do
I called her up she showed me her tattoo
We did this thing for a little while
She’d come by and she’d make me smile
She took my wallet, she cramped my style
Sometimes things end to soon
Like midnight sneaking round the yellow moon
Her shadows falling creeping in my room
It Could be a dream yeah it could be real
But I know what I know and I feel what I feel
What's next honey what you gonna steal

Radio Bell
04:35
|

Well He never would have known about
A girl from Lexington
But at the Radio Bell
He suddenly felt someone
There was lighting in her eyes
He’d never seen before
And a thunder in his chest
As she struck him to the core
And when she spoke her name aloud
All the static just disappeared
At the Radio bell
The future felt so clear
If there never was that little cafe
A man would be a boy
Because the radio bell
We can tune into their joy

Rather Be Right
04:03
|
|||
You could be a dick
When you walk in the room
Smoke gets thick
When your drinking at noon
Ah your lips get loose
And now your talking to loud
Your playing to yourself
In spite of the crowd
You could be loved
You could be right alright
You could be alone
For the rest of your life
You could be a friend
If you let somebody in
You could be loved
But you’d rather be right
Well you rather be right
But you end up all wrong
Same sad face
Oh the same sad song
Your doing it again
You can’t help yourself
You don’t leave no space
For nobody else
You get so mad you get so mean
It’s a sickness boy that you don’t see
Your killing yourself your killing me
Your your own worst enemy
Get over yourself is the remedy

Love This Town
02:56
|
|||
Travel time and you will see
It’s best to love where you have to be
Up above the changing sky line
The same moon glows and the same sun shines
I love this town but I hate it too
Do you know what I mean
I love this town but I hate it too
Everything in between
There’s a lot between love and hate
Some got here early and some came late
You never know what you can endure
Only two things that I know for sure
Stunned by the outcome of 15 years
Beyond my hopes and my deep cut fears
Wading in the flood, trudging to the top
Looking all around seeing it surely won’t stop
Crowded streets all the crowded little bars
Out of state plates on your neighbors new cars
The Cost is up for your food and your drink
I’m starving here over what to think, but

Heart Exposed
03:21
|
|||
I’ve added pain by division
I’ve been a total wreck of a man
I’ve known the consequence of a poor decision
That I understand
I’ve been left all but speechless
And I’ve been left out in the cold
I’ve been left sad and lonely
God only knows, heart exposed
I’m trying hard to face my demons
I’m trying not to slip back down that slope
My only goal is being human
And not to lose my hope
Well I’ve been right on occasion
And I’ve been right to want to know
I’ve been right in altercations
God only knows, heart exposed
Here I am defenseless
An open book of a man
Fearful of the the consequence
I ask of you to show some mercy if you can
I’ve been taught by the good book
I’ve been taught how to show
Love, compassion, and forgiveness
God only knows, heart exposed
God only knows, heart exposed

Come Back Joe
03:04
|
|||
Man I miss Joe strummer
I miss his attitude and his heart
Only stood up for freedom
And knew just where it was
I been thinking about him lately
In this wicked world gone wrong
I threw a record on
And melted in his song
When you coming home Joe
Please come home Joe
I need you home now
Come back Joe
Joe gave us all the feedback
Joe heard his own drum
I’m going back to the city
And listen for his strum

Johnny Sins
02:54
|
|||
Johnny sins he can’t help it
He use to get down on his knees
But he never felt it mattered
Like bad seeds his thoughts are all scattered
To the wind Johnny sins
Spray paint can in his hand at night
Tagging any wall he walks along
A five finger discount snagging a pint
Feel a little meaner when it’s gone
And he’ll stumble back to the lack he’s living
In a house ain’t never been a home
They tried one time to keep it all together
And now they’re all living there alone
Well he never understood
The point to being so good
What does it get you in the end

I Hear Trains
03:50
|
|||
I hear trains in the night from my bedroom window
The rhythm of the rail is a family friend
I hear trains off the sandstone rim on the plateau
That old cry and it's echo never ends
And I hear trains in the night as they go by
Well I hear trains in the midst of a busy city
When the cross gate arms swing slowly down
Now the trains all seem like a distant memory
Our time passes by when the trumpet sounds
And I hear trains in the night as they go by
Someday I know the trains will go silent
As surely as I hear that whistle cry
But as long as I feel the steel wheels spinning
I hear trains in the night as they go by
And I hear trains in the night as they go by
Now Tommy was a switchman down in Memphis
In the striking spring of nineteen sixty eight
He heard a rumble when a man named Martin Luther
Was shot down by a man so full of hate
Someday I know the trains will go silent
As surely as I hear that whistle cry
But as long as I feel the steel wheels spinning
I hear trains in the night as they go by
I’ll hear trains in the night as they go by

Silver Tales
03:07
|
|||
Hands entwined, your's and mine, you can't this time
Say no more tears and I could drown hearing the sound
Way in the distance, I thought I missed it
I felt it creeping, was I just dreaming a dream
The last time darlin' you stayed the night with me
Lies on your lips, fire in your eyes, familiar disguise
Dreams and hopes, streets of gold, silver tales you told
Alone like a street lamp, Don't you come closer Who was that beauty, I never knew her at all
Way in the distance, You thought I missed it
I felt it creeping, Was I just dreaming a dream
The last time darlin' you stayed the night with me

Accidental Memory
02:48
|
|||
Just had an accidental memory
Turned a corner in my mind
Sudden crash landing back in time
Slipped, got tripped out of the blue
By and accidental memory of you
The day was goin’ beautifully
I was thinking practically
I felt so safe and sound
The sky was blue above me
I’m fine but then below me felt a shiver in the ground
All through out the evening
I doubted the reasoning
For Never looking back
But now that it’s happening
It’s not so frightening
All this looking back

Hammer Like Bill
03:50
|
|||
Don't worry about the mule
Just load up the cart
Cause you ain't worth a nickel
If you ain't working hard
I get three square meals
And two tone clothes
I follow the rules wherever I go
Wherever I go
I got to hammer like Bill
I got to do like Lee
I got to keep it in line
And wait for the day
That I'm gonna break free
I ain't been here long
It feels like forever
It's hard to stay strong
It’s bound to get better
She was a sly eyed sally
that promised me heaven
She drove off in my Chevy, my only possession
Back in ninety-seven
I can see her in the night
on my pin up poster
She's long gone, and I'm another day older
Everyday I’m getting closer
