Sittin' alone in the dark
Wastin' my time in a park
'Cause I've got nowhere to go
Had me a job 'til the market fell out
Tried hard to borrow but there was no help
Now I've got nowhere to go
I need a job for these two hands
I'm a workin' man
With nowhere to go

One last look at my land
Auctioneer with his gavel in hand
And he says "it's got to go"
Worked this piece all my life
It broke my heart and it took my wife
Now I've got nothing to show
I need a job for these two hands
I'm a workin' man
With nowhere to go

Wandered aimless in the city
With my dirt workin' boots and my old straw hat in hand
Singing a song by Woody Guthrie
This land is your land but it ain't my land
I'm a workin' man, with nowhere to go

I was born to the sunrise
Breaking back all day
Now I've got something to say
I am broke, but not broken
And I am not alone
'cause there's a lot of folks
With nowhere to go

Are they ever gonna understand?
You can't leave a workin' man
With nowhere to go
Are they ever gonna understand?
You can't leave a workin' man
With nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
Nowhere to go

I've been lookin' for a love, someone to hold as I lay sleeping
I'm not talking about someone who's scared of promises or keeping 'em
I'm just looking for a love to stand the test of time
I've been lookin' for someone to be all mine

I had too much lonely
I need a one and only
Someone I can care about and call my own
Faithful to tradition
Without an intermission
We'll still be together when the kids are grown

I've been lookin for a love, someone to hold as I lay sleeping
I'm not talking about someone who's scared of promises or keeping 'em
I'm just lookin' for a love to stand the test of time
I've been looking for someone to be all mine

I've been lookin' for a love, someone to hold as I lay sleeping
I'm not talking about someone who's scared of promises or keeping 'em
I' m just lookin' for a love to stand the test of time
I've been looking for someone to be all mine
I've been looking for someone to be all mine
I've been looking for someone to be all...

I've been lookin' for a love, someone to hold as I lay sleeping
I'm not talking about someone who's scared of promises or keeping 'em
I've been lookin' for a love, someone to hold as I lay sleeping
I'm not talking about someone who's scared of promises or keeping 'em

I am loyal on those who care
Who care about the fate of love
I know there's many others just like me
I know they too had enough
Of these hearts doin' battle on the frontlines
Love's got no heroes in these modern times
What love needs is a defender
Ohoh I am a soldier of love
Wooh ohoh I am a soldier of love

I've seen it in your eyes, you felt the heat
There was a time when you believed
Love is the only way to make it through
Hardly another casualty
From these hearts doin' battle on the frontlines
Love's got no heroes in these modern times
What love needs is a defender
Ohoh I am a soldier of love

Look at all these hearts doin' battle on the frontlines
Love's got no heroes in these modern times
What love needs is a defender
Ohoh I am a soldier of love
Wooh ohoh I am a soldier of love
Ohoh I am a soldier of love

I am a soldier of love
I am a soldier
I am a soldier of love
I am a soldier
I am a soldier of love
I am a soldier
I am a soldier of love

Seems like lately we're losin' touch
Work to hard and worry too much
I think it's time for me and you
To get back to what we used to do
We'd steal away on a Saturday night
Meet in the field when the time was right
Just us two and a starry sky
Felt like paradise

I said ooh baby goin' down that road tonight
I said it's too crazy need to hold each other tight
Thinkin' maybe the moon stills shines as bright
Like it did back then, it'll shine again
Down that road tonight

Remember all the songs that we used to know
Dancin' in the dark to the radio
Lost in the rhythm, kickin' up some heat
The memories are still so sweet
Time's gone by but it's plain to see
I still love you and you still love me
Let's shake these troubles put 'em all aside
C'mon we're gonna take that ride

I said ooh baby goin' down that road tonight
I said it's too crazy need to hold each other tight
Thinkin' maybe the moon stills shines as bright
Like it did back then, it'll shine again
Down that road tonight
Down that road

Down that road

She looked so proud and held her head up high
And her eyes were softer than a summer sky
And in the distance there were clouds
Somebody made her cry

And the salt of the tears she couldn't hide
Told her broken hearts need time to mend
Mostly thinkin' that this girl might need a friend
But suddenly her eyes met mine, world went in a spin
And I knew I'd never be the same again

Baby blues oh baby blues
All caught up in those baby blues
I found heaven and my refuge
Live and die for those baby blues
Caught up in those baby blues

Now I'm with those blue eyes everyday
And even in the silence they have so much to say
Talk to my heart, bring some sunshine and the rain
Make me look at love a brand new way

Baby blues oh baby blues
All caught up in those baby blues
I found heaven when I found you
Live and die for those baby blues
Caught up in those baby blues
All wrapped up in those baby blues

Oh baby baby oh baby blues
All caught up in those baby blues
I found heaven when I found you
Live and die for those baby blues
Caught up in those baby blues
All wrapped up in those baby blues
Baby blues
Baby blues
All caught up in those baby baby blues
All wrapped up in those baby baby blues
Baby blues

Sometimes you're up
Sometimes you're down
Sometimes fate can kick you around
When it's winter up here
It's summer down under
Sometimes clear skies
Sometimes thunder

Life is a Corduroy Road
Life is a Corduroy Road

Well me and my honey
And my 61 'vette now
I had to sell everything else
To get out of debt now
I always dreamed about
Cruisin' down Route 66 yeah
Well I finally got to do it
But there ain't much left now

Life is a Corduroy Road
Life is a Corduroy Road

What's goin' on
As you get a little older
Feel a little bolder
Got no time to lose
Who wants to die
With a quiver full of arrows
Pull the string back now
Let'em all loose, yeah

Life is a Corduroy Road
Life is a Corduroy Road
Life is a Corduroy Road
Life is a Corduroy Road
That's right
Look out now

Way down in the delta
Where the days move slow
There's a squeeze box player
Name a Little Johnny O
He's got a four piece band
And they're playin' real tight
Make the people go crazy
Every saturday night
Singing, Hey Johnny O
Let's Fied-I-Ay
On the ol' bayou
Hey Johnny O
Well play the Tennessee Waltz
And the Zydeco

They like their Chuck Berry records
And some Fats Domino
But the thing they like the most
Is hearin' Little Johnny O
Playin' Fiedle-I-Oh
Little Johnny O
Playin' Fiedle-I-Oh
That's right Johnny

Well the Natches girls
They like to stroll around town
When Johnny starts a playin'
You see'em come unwound
Well the boys in the corner
All loosin' their minds
Gonna make their move
When Johnny gives the sigh

Singing, Hey Johnny O
Let's Fied-I-Ay
On the ol' bayou
Hey Johnny O
Play the Tennessee Waltz
And the Zydeco

They like their old country records
They're the mill for the soul
But the thing they like the most
Is hearin' Little Johnny O
Playin' Fiedle-I-Oh
Little Johnny O
Playin' Fiedle-I-Oh
Play it, Hey Johnny
That's the ticket
(Let's get down girl)

Way down in the delta
Where the big blue flows
There's a one little secret
That everybody knows
If you just can't sleep
And you're feelin' down
There's an all-night cure
Outside of town

And it's Hey Johnny O
Let's Fied-I-Ay
On the ol' bayou
Hey Johhny O
Play the Tennessee Waltz
And the Zydeco

They like all those songs
On the radio
But the thing they like the most
Is hearin' Little Johnny O
Playin' Fiedle-I-Oh
Little Johnny O
Playin' Fiedle-I-Oh
Little Johnny O
Playin' Fiedle-I-Oh
Little Johnny O
Playin' Fiedle-I-Oh hey
Hey Johnny
What is Fiedle-I-Oh?

I remember our first night together
It was rainin' cats and dogs, when we made love
Made the most of all that stormy weather
That's what this ol' night reminds me of

Thunder and lightning
Nothing like a storm
Cozy up beside me honey
And let me keep you warm
Nothing more invitin'
Then a good one comin' down
Born two rainy day lovers
Who love to hear the sound
Of thunder and lightning

The rhythm of the rain outside the window
Always brings a sparkle to your eye
It's music to my ears each time the wind blows
We know how to spend a stormy night

Chorus

No, we don't need no sunny day-ay
Just turn the lights down low
And let it rain

Chorus

High up on a rocky ledge
Holdin' all she's got
It ain't much except
The shattered dream and broken heart

He used her up
Made her old before her time
She's gonna take that final step
And leave her pain behind

All the sins that men commit before they're done
Her lover had one lying silver tongue
She won't speak his name, it's too much to bear
But I saw his face as he left her there

Wooh oh oh oh
Sure looked a lot like me (sure looked a lot like me)
Wooh ahahah wooh
Sure looked a lot like me

He was just a boy barely seventeen
Feelin' drunk and talkin' tough
But he wasn't really mean
Bumped into this sidewinder
Should have backed way
Gave him some lip
Turned out they were
The last words he would say

All the sins that men commit before they're done
His killer backed into one smokin' silver gun
No one asked his name, nobody cared
But I saw his face as the blue smoke cleared

Chorus

Devil came and said, sinner finally you are mine
But pardon me Mr. Devil but I think I need more time
I've got a lot of mendin' up in life to do
The devil said, you should have thought of that
Before I came for you

Take this rope and wind it once for every lie
Once for every thoughtless act
And twice for tears they cried
Walk fifty miles naked in the desert sun
Praying for the souls that you have ruined, one by one

No one knew his name, nobody cared
But I saw his face as he was hangin' there

Chorus

Chorus

He sure looked a lot like me

I can hear that old clock ticking passing time up on the wall
I can hear the faucet dripping in the kitchen down the hall
I just sit here wishing there was something I could say
To the one that I keep missing every night and every day

There's things you learn to live with now that's all I'll ever do
But I'll never get used to living without you

Now I got used to tenderness, we would hold each other tight
And I got used to happiness we'd make love day and night
And I'll get used to mornings eating breakfast all alone
And sitting in the evenings when there's no one else at home

There's things you learn to live with now that's all I'll ever do
But I'll never get used to living without you

Without you the sun still rises, without you the rivers run
I thought by now that I'd be realizing what's done is done
I accept the notion that there's things we can't control
The changing of the seasons or the fact we're growing old
I know I'm the reason that you had to go away
I will keep believing that's the price I have to pay

There's things you learn to live with now that's all I'll ever do
But I'll never get used to living without you
Oh there's things you learn to live with now that's all I'll ever do
But I'll never get used to living without you
Without you …….. without you

I gotta bent up truck, gotta fix-it-up
So I set it on the backyard lawn
Put the radio loud in the window
I tuned it into rock
Now I'm patiently waitin' on music
But the DJ rambled and sang
And it was blowin' in a brass sky
But it won't rain

A bright-eyed woman on the hour
Brings a glass of tea
And I can tell she's as pretty as a flower
When she comes to me
She winds away the water
From my eyes and soothes my brain
And it was blowin' in a brass sky
But it won't rain

And it won't rain for tryin'
And it won't rain for beans
There's fear in the sky
A big storm is what it means

Waitin' out the weather
By workin' on the truck
We get to hang out together
Can't believe this luck

Glass is fine by the hour
But don't match with mine
It got wrecked playin' sailor in the shower
Last Christmas time
The song's written in another language
But the weather forecast is plain
It was blowin' in a brass sky
But it won't rain

And it won't rain for tryin'
And it won't rain for beans
Well it's a bad day for flyin'
But they won't fly with me
Starin' at the boats and planes
That are stayin' on the ground
Another won't leave it's hidin'
Til the wind turns 'round

A bright-eyed woman in the kitchen
Cooks up a kiss of death
Boilin' up mango, crab and coconut
And includin' cinnamon bread
But she drops the pan and says
Paranoia is out and breeds like a runaway train
And it was blowin' in a brass sky
But it won't rain

And it won't rain for tryin'
And it won't rain for beans
Well it's a bad day for flyin'
They won't fly with me, no
Starin' at the boats and planes
Stayin' on the ground
Another won't leave it's hidin'
Til the wind turns 'round

I've been lookin' for a love, someone to hold as I lay sleeping
I'm not talking about someone who's scared of promises or keeping 'em
I'm just looking for a love to stand the test of time
I've been lookin' for someone to be all mine

I had too much lonely
I need a one and only
Someone I can care about and call my own
Faithful to tradition
Without an intermission
We'll still be together when the kids are grown

I've been lookin for a love, someone to hold as I lay sleeping
I'm not talking about someone who's scared of promises or keeping 'em
I'm just lookin' for a love to stand the test of time
I've been looking for someone to be all mine

I've been lookin' for a love, someone to hold as I lay sleeping
I'm not talking about someone who's scared of promises or keeping 'em
I' m just lookin' for a love to stand the test of time
I've been looking for someone to be all mine
I've been looking for someone to be all mine
I've been looking for someone to be all...

I've been lookin' for a love, someone to hold as I lay sleeping
I'm not talking about someone who's scared of promises or keeping 'em
I've been lookin' for a love, someone to hold as I lay sleeping
I'm not talking about someone who's scared of promises or keeping 'em
