I Got Loaded 04:06
Last night I got loaded On a bottle of wine A bottle of wine Last night I got loaded On a bottle of wine A bottle of wine CHORUS The night before last I got loaded On a bottle of gin A bottle of gin The night before last I got loaded On a bottle of gin A bottle of gin CHORUS Well tonight I might get loaded On a bottle of whiskey A bottle of whiskey And tonight I might get loaded On a bottle of whiskey A bottle of whiskey CHORUS And I feel alright Well I feel alright

I been thinkin’ ‘bout dropping out and lettin’ this old river spit me into the sea. do you remember when I sold you my soul now that it’s getting kinda old won’t you sell it back to me I’ve been tried and tempted tried and tempted tried and tempted tried and tempted well I been thinkin’ ‘bout turnin’ ‘round and headin’ up the stream to climb a mountain of youth do you remember when I opened up your box and let the demons out they fight me nail and tooth CHORUS I’d like to be the wind don’t wanna be the sail I’d like to be the train not the rail I’d like to be the train not the rail CHORUS

It’s hard to be fair when you're fightin' It’s hard to be nice when you lose You wish you were thunder and lightnin' And all you are Is stuck with the blues Do you gotta be lost to be found Who the devil spins the world around Before you know the sun's up it goes down Do you gotta be lost to be found Who the devil spins the world around Well it is what it is and it isn't what it ain't Doesn’t matter what it was cause you know it's gonna keep on You can't keep me from laughin' And I can't keep you from cryin' It’s hard to say just what's happenin' We could be crashin' Or we could be flyin' Do you gotta be lost to be found Who the devil spins the world around Before you know the sun's up it goes down Do you gotta be lost to be found Who the devil spins the world around Well it is what it is and it isn't what it ain't Doesn’t matter what it was cause you know it's gonna keep on Keep on changin'

Wastin’ my mind on you Wastin’ my mind on you Makes my head spin Where does your love begin and end There’s no answer To the questions I keep asking you You look at me like I’m a fool Wastin' my mind on you Wastin’ my mind on you Wishin’ my heart would'a thought things through Wastin’ my mind on you Sweet confusion Always changin' the point of view A fine illusion Keeps me hanging on to find the truth Look at me I’m such a fool Look at the fool Look for the truth Wastin' my mind on you Wastin’ my mind on you Wishin’ my heart would'a thought things through Wastin’ my mind on you

i know a man who sings the blues yeah he plays just what he feels keeps a letter in the pocket of his coat but he never breaks the seal set up in a bar room corner playin' for tips and beer people carryin' on and drinkin' you gotta strain to hear i've seen him playin' some old cheap guitar but he could play on pots and pans you never heard a soul so pure and true it's flowing' right out of his hands he can sing sweet as a choir girl or he can sing a house on fire i've seen him callin' up the angels and use a breeze for a telephone wire and if you ask him how he sings his blues so well he says i got a soul that i won't sell i got a soul that i won't sell i got a soul that i won't sell and i dont read postcards from hell says he came from down in texas playin' out since he's fifteen you can hear a little chicago and a lot of new orleans he can take you on a freight train he can take you down the alley he can take you to the church he can walk you through the valley CHORUS i've seen him sleepin' in a doorway maybe livin' outside on his back just like a cockroach but he ain't waitin' to die CHORUS

Honey Jar 05:09
tandin’ on the back of that train with your open arms Lookin’ at the big sky listenin' to the smoke alarm You wonder what happened guess your heart must'a jumped the track Put your lips out in the wind and you hope you get some kissin' back Every night you get the same old dream There’s a spoon full of honey where your heart should be And there's Honey drippin' off your spoon Honey drippin' off your spoon White skin freckles big hard candy green eyes Bet you wish you had your red headed woman back sometimes The last thing you got was a left handed letter And you opened up the seal like you didn't even know better Every night you get the same old dream There’s a spoon full of honey where your heart should be And there's Honey drippin' off your spoon Honey drippin' off your spoon Don’t you know your spoon's gettin' low You worry and you wonder just where all the honey goes But if you hope it and you pray real hard If you will it you can wish it Heaven is a Honey Jar

Ophelia 03:39
Boards on the window Mail by the door What would anybody leave so quickly for? Ophelia Where have you gone? The old neighborhood just ain't the same Nobody knows just what became of Ophelia Tell me, what went wrong Was it something that somebody said? Mama, I know we broke the rules Was somebody up against the law? Honey, you know I'd die for you Ashes of laughter The ghost is clear Why do the best things always disappear Like Ophelia Please darken my door Was it something that somebody said? Mama, I know we broke the rules Was somebody up against the law? Honey, you know I'd die for you They got your number Scared and running But I'm still waiting for the second coming Of Ophelia Come back home
