Mexico
04:56

Sick and tired of this mean old city
I'm going down to Mexico
It's getting deep dark and I'm feeling greedy
I'm going down to Mexico
There's money to be made
and girls are mean but pretty
only one place you can go
When the tables have turned and the crows have gathered
you gotta go down to Mexico
bridges have burned and dreams are shuttered
you take the long way to Mexico
Dirty money to be made
and girls are dressed uncovered
only one place you can go
Standing on the border in my leather jacket
cigarette burns and radio
when they won't let you talk you gotta growl and bark it
gotta take it down to Mexico
There's money to be made
and old dues to be paid
only one place you can go

On Your Knees

I wanna see you baby
I wanna see you on your knees
I wanna hear you honey
I wanna hear you begging please
Cause I'm going solo
yes I'm going solo
yes I'm going just for you

I Lost My Baby
03:29

I lost my baby I’m going down low
She’s gone to heaven cause I loved her so
It was a cold black night
I can’t remember well
The sky was red and black
The moon had gone to hell
I lost my baby cause I loved her so
I lost my money playing cards
Blame the jack of diamonds blame the queen of hearts
Well I lost it all
And I’m going down
Feel I hate this world
And I hate this town
I lost my baby cause I loved her so
I’ve got a knife I’ve got a loaded gun
Gonna find my baby gonna find her man
When the bullets fly
And my time is up
Gonna pray to god
She ain’t coming back
I shot my baby cause I loved her so

Coming Through
05:31
|

Boys keep drinking all the gasoline
girls are posing for the magazine
the wheels keep turning and the engine's hot
birds are flying but there's not a lot
Cats are scratching when the dogs are gone
little sister's hanging on telephone
strip joints opening for the night to come
I say we start rolling gotta get me some
We're coming through
Papa keeps smiling for the photograph
mama says "son I want your autograph"
daughter keeps twitching in her bed at night
might as well join her make her see the light
We're coming through

Blues Calling
04:07
|
|||
I'm gonna hurt you when I go
I'm gonna leave you all alone
you're gonna watch me while I'm going down
We had a thing but now it's done
you left your promises undone
I gotta call it, I can hear the sound
Blues calling
I thought you loved me but you don't
I thought we had some secret bond
now it's time I pack my things and go
And when you come down on your knees
and you start begging "baby please"
ain't gonna buy it, I can hear the sound
Blues calling
Blues calling
Blues calling
I hear the blues calling on me

I Ain't Your Man
04:20
|
|||
Fall down like rain
get up and walk
there is no shame
when you talk the talk
I have no soul, I have no name
I ain't your man
ain't your man
I play the blues
I don't know why
I heal your wounds
break down and cry
I lost my faith
but I got a plan
I ain't your man
ain't your man
No church bells ring
no angels sing
no peace of mind
no ties that bind
I'm sick and tired of all your lyin'
Cause I ain't your man
Now it's time to pray
and shut the door
just stop and lay
down on the floor
if god is up
and hell below
I ain't your man
ain't your man
So do your best
to hold those tears
now it's too late
to turn back the years
I rest in peace
under this land
I ain't your man
ain't your man
No church bells ring
no angels sing
no peace of mind
no ties that bind
I'm sick and tired
of all your lyin'
Cause I ain't your man

It Keeps On Raining
05:44
|
|||
It keeps on raining everywhere I go
It keeps on raining everywhere I go
there's a big black cloud
that keeps following my poor soul
And it's chasing all the birds away
and it's asking all those questions
I don't know
Well I left my home and I'm heading down the road
left my home and I'm heading down the road
there's a river flood
and I'm carrying overload
And it's chasing all the birds away
and it's asking all those questions
I don't know
They got those big black eyes and they're staring at my heart
they got those big black eyes and are staring at my heart
but I keep my heart down under
and that's tearing them apart
And they're chasing all the birds away
and they're asking all those questions
I don't know

700 Lives
04:06
|
|||
Baby baby won't you throw me the line
feels like I'm drowning in this sorrow of mine
but don't you worry cause I'm feeling all right
I got seven hundred lives
Baby baby you got me all tied up
feels like I'm dreaming and I cannot wake up
but don't you worry cause I'm feeling just fine
I got seven hundred lives
All this time that I've been missing you
someone else was busy kissing you
I talk about you when there's no one around
I'm like a king without a crown
Baby baby I've told you before
I'm not the man you used to know anymore
I got a silver coin dollar and I'm taking what's mine
I got seven hundred lives
All this time that I've been missing you
someone else was busy kissing you
I talk about you when there's no one around
I'm like a king without a crown

Rest My Bones
04:18
|
|||
Black heart
black soul
cold ground
they know I'm coming
Scarred face
hard case
done bad
and now I'm running
All day
all night
no sleep
no grace of heaven
Gone mad
so sad
done wrong
bearing my burden
Bad place
bad time
slow fall
all mine
I'm ringing on the bell at the gates of hell
but there ain't no place I can rest my bones
Dark sky
bye bye
death's close
I couldn't care less babe
My time
flatline
gunfire
it's written in stone babe
Slowhand
bad man
lost soul
the hounds is coming
Cut deep
blood slip
gun sound
but I'm still laughing
Last call
eight ball
feeling better
on alcohol
I'm ringing on the bell at the gates of hell
but there ain't no place I can rest my bones
