Northeast

I got an old Volkswagen with my baby in
And I ride her all the way northeast
We ain’t got no money only fuely heads
And all her pretty dreams she’s tellin’
Sometimes she leaned back on the cars hood
But all her pretty dreams are torn
She waits for what is comin’ on
With her flower dress and barefoot.
We covered all the northeast state
As the factories been closed down
Run down industries we ride
From the gas fires to the interstate
If there’s no language I know how to speak
If my mind is torn and I’m occurring weak
I wish I’d be a sculptor to make the world see
We could have a hundred babies still ridin’ northeast.
I’ll take trip across the river with no name
I’ll ride deep into a forest filled with dark rain
I sat down in a local bar
A million boys around me shoutin’ boy you don’t get far
Now want you pull me out of this danger zone
‘Cause you’re the one I’m depending on
And my heart is beating like a big bass drum
But my summer is a summer without a sun
Now well I hate the city that I’m living in
And I smoke too much and I’m way too thin
Now want you pull me out of this danger zone
‘Cause you’re the one I’m depending on
Northeast …
I got an old Volkswagen with my baby in
And I ride her all the way northeast
We ain’t got no money only fuely heads
And all her pretty dreams she’s tellin’

Straight Line
02:44
|

Got out of prison back in 89
Settled down tried to walk a straight line
Found me a job back in 95
Saved me some money enough to stay alive
Now I’ve been working the nightshift
On the edge if town I buried my wishlist
And sometimes when I’m all alone
Got me a guitar to play a lonely song
And if you’re going to hell and back again
Just listen to my songs they tell you all about my pain
And if you’re ever going to where I’m already through
Just look into my eyes well they talk a deeper blue
On a rainy night back in 99
I was walking down by the railroad line
Pitch black night and my work was done
Spent a thought ‘bout getting away and run
And if you’re going to hell and back again
Just listen to my songs they tell you all about my pain
And if you’re ever going to where I’m already through
Just look into my eyes well they talk a deeper blue
Sometimes I wish I’d be a plane
To go lift off and never come down again
And sometimes I wish I’d be a train
To go riding off to foreign lands
And if you’re going to hell and back again
Just listen to my songs they tell you all about my pain
And if you’re ever going to where I’m already through
Just look into my eyes well they talk a deeper blue

Carry Me Home
03:52
|

Morning’s breaking with aching light into the room where I lie
It’s been a while since I felt happy but it sure has been a wonderful night
And what compels me to leave your side
And what drags me to go with the open tide
Is to come back to you where I do belong
And want you one day carry me home
And want you one day now carry me home
This day’s creeping up with hardened shapes to the place where I hide
It’s been a while since I went head up high but sure I’ll make it through this night
And what compels me to leave your side
And what drags me to go with the open tide
Is to come back to you where I do belong
For you may one day carry me home
For you may one day now carry me home
Night time lays me down with warm hands to the place where I’ll rest
It’s been a while since I felt happy but sure this time we will last
For you may one day carry me home
For you may one day now carry me home

Missing
03:10
|

Jacket thrown upon a chair, empty coffee cup on the table
Long distance calls and night flights but still I feel unable
I got too much room in my bed that I can hardly fill
Thinking of you cures, missing you just kills
Your picture next to me, your eyes drift across my face
Your clothes in the wardrobe, you’re missed at our place
I got a blue hole in my soul that I can hardly fill
Thinking of you cures, missing you just kills
Haunting dreams inside me, your shoes in the hallway
You picked me up on Friday but you felt just like Sunday
I got too much room in my bed and a blanket so still
Thinking of you cures, missing you just kills

Queen of Misfits
03:47
|

You’ve been sleeping in the fields tonight my dear
Dreaming of big city lights
You’ll wake up in tall grass tomorrow
Gaining sight
Follow a road so wide
You’ve been hiding from the scenes tonight my dear
With a sky all black
You will wake up stronger tomorrow
No looking back
Follow a road ahead
You’ll be coming into town one day my dear
And be a dancer in my eye
You’ll be wrapped in sound tonight and tomorrow
Now don’t you cry
And set the night on fire
You’ll be dancing on the high wire my dear
A firecracker tonight
You may rearrange yourself tomorrow
Now burn up bright
And feel the night inside
You’ve been sleeping in the fields tonight my dear
Dreaming of big city lights
You’ll wake up in tall grass tomorrow
Now don’t you cry
And set the night on fire
Now burn up bright
And feel the night inside
Gaining sight
Follow a road so wide

Desire
05:26

Desire's like a loaded gun
Faith and trust are hard won
Me I'm always on the run
Right now I know the score
She won't even talk to me no more.
Well I try to love her, love her, love her
But instead I always run for cover
Above all I know she towers
Right now I know the score
She won't even listen anymore.
These days are filled with the drizzling rain
Me I always run in vain
Loving her sometimes is pain
Right now I know the score
She won't even love me anymore.
Well I left the place where I was born
Took the road less travelled out of town
Me I'm always going down
Right now I know the score
She won't even talk to me no more.
And I ride by day and I ride by night
I ride until the broad day light
Loving her sometimes ain't right
Right now I know the score
She won't even listen anymore.
These days are filled with the drizzling rain
Me I always run in vain
Loving her sometimes is pain
Right now I know the score
She won't even love me anymore.
Desire's like a loaded gun
Faith and trust are hard won
Me I'm always on the run
Right now I know the score
She won't even talk to me no more.
