On The Road Again
02:53

Could it be, could it be I’ll never stand up taller
Could it be, could it be that nothing’s gonna change
When the muscles ‘round my brain
Start to make me feel insane
I think it’s time to get on the road again
Could it be, could it be that I am getting older
Could it be, could it be that everything is changing
I look over my body
And the lines upon my face
And I think it’s time to get on the road again
Oh my lord, oh my lord I am the great denier
Oh my lord, oh my lord is all my love in vain
Though I shouldn’t think of sorrow
When I’m standing in the rain
I think it’s time to get on the road again
Oh my lord, oh my lord believe me I’m no liar
Oh my lord, oh my lord there’s no one else to blame
Like a deck of cards at a local bar
I’ve lost a couple faces
And I think it’s time to get on the road again
On the road I’ve always got the sun over my head
And the moon ain’t been nothing but a long and lonesome friend
When I think of all the miles behind and sky that’s up ahead
I think it’s time to get on the road again
Come on, come on, there’s wood beside the fire
Come on, come on, like a moth into the flame
Oh, my heart commands my lungs and hands
And it beats for what it chases
And I think it’s time to get on the road again
I think it’s time to get on the road again
I think it’s time to get on the road again

Sorrow
03:55
|
|||
So it goes the autumn leaves are falling
Soft upon the earth and winding streams
There they paint the sidewalks I am walking
I sing “alone and lonely that’s me”
Once I had a life full of adoring
I fell in love and lord it was a shame
One day she up and left me without warning
Now I walk the world and sing this refrain
Sorrow
Only sorrow
It’s the only thing that cares for me
Sorrow
Only sorrow
Leave me be, Leave me be
When the sun is setting in the valley
And all the angels whisper to the plains
Though my heart is weary I am singing
That I might find that everlasting day
I could sail a wish upon the river
To float upon the ripples and the waves
Hoping that someday it might deliver
Someone to wash my sorrows away
Sorrow
Only sorrow
It’s the only thing that cares for me
Sorrow
Only sorrow
Leave me be, Leave me be
Only sorrow
Leave me be, Leave me be

The Calla Lilly Song
03:59
|

Just a calla lily soaking up the mornin’
Silly me, I’m underneath the awning
Just waiting for the rain to fall
So it can pass and I can walk away
From all her sweet love and adoring
There’s times you know your heart is overflowing
Like in the spring when all the grass is growing
And the robin and the whippoorwill
All day and night can eat their fill
And all the nights when the moon is up and glowing
And I think it’s fine
I think it’s fine
That she’s mine
I like to walk along the meadow in the evenings
It’s something that I do that’s worth repeating
Sometimes the wind is mellow
And the stars go on forever
And the thrush inside the nettle are a’sleeping
You see in the city everyone’s a walker
And Myrtle takes you down to Knickerbocker
Well that is where I paid my dues
And everyone checks out your shoes
Oh man, it’s hard to shake the blues when you got ‘em
So I think it’s fine
I think it’s fine
That she’s mine
Well it’s times like these I think of her a little
The window up and second from the middle
And when the light is on
She’s probably sittin’ there alone
Just a playin’ a little song upon her fiddle
And I think it’s fine
I think it’s fine
That she’s mine

The Road Runner Song
02:29
|

Well my funny bone’s pointing at the high road
I get up there once in a while
But my toes knows nothing but my friends downtown
And my eye’s been lookin’ for a smile
Oh the grocery store ain’t much fun no more
Though we used to get crazy sometimes
And the street light used to make me feel alright
When there was someone there to hold you tight
Oh, Road Runner you run so slow
You’re the best damn friend that I ever did know
When the sun goes down and the bottle gets low
I’ll get up and follow you wherever you go
Well, my funny bones pointing at the high road
‘Cause my hands on the steering wheel
I’m a lookin’ for a crow ‘cause I always know
That there’s a fire that’s a burnin’ up there
Well I got no money but I got good friends
And a couple of arms and a couple of hands
And I can go up hill and back down again
But if you’re lookin for somebody probably won’t find them
Oh, Road Runner you run so slow
You’re the best damn friend that I ever did know
When the sun goes down and the bottle gets low
I’ll get up and follow you wherever you go
Well, my funny bone’s pointin’ at the high road
But there ain’t no light up there
Just the sumac trees and the cool night breeze
Guess I’ll head on down the stairs
And if you’re on the roof you’d better check the wind
‘Cause if you let ‘er rip you might pee on a friend
You can ‘pologize till the cows come in
But that’s a terrible way for our story to end
So pay attention if you’re listening
I ain’t ever gonna say it again
One plus one ain’t got no end
When you’re sittin’ by the fire with QTN
Oh, Road Runner you run so slow
You’re the best damn friend that I ever did know
When the sun goes down and the bottle gets low
I’ll get up and follow you wherever you go

The Chase
04:17
|
|||
I’m gettin’ along just dandy
Man, I feel alive
Every day is just a walk upon the wayside
And though the miles may take me
I cannot deny
All this rollin’ and a’raking gets so tired
It’s the way you feel like no one ever knows
And it’s the way you gotta pack up and go
If you want me
I’m your man
And if you need me
Believe I’ll understand
It’s the chase we’re after
When it comes down to it
And it is knowin’ that the open
Isn’t something you just get
We’re all chasing after something
Heaven help the stranger
In a strange town
Where anything you’ll ever find
There’s gonna let you down
And every stranger knows that
There’s a golden line
And everywhere you go
There’s always something left behind
It’s the way you always find yourself alone
And it’s the way you gotta pack up and go
But if you want me
I’m your man
And if you need me
Believe I’ll understand
It’s the chase we’re after
When it comes down to it
And it is knowin’ that the open
Isn’t something you just get
We’re all chasing after something
It’s the chase that picks you up
When you’ve got nothing
But if you want me
I’m your man
And if you need me
Believe I’ll understand
It’s the chase we’re after
When it comes down to it
And it is knowin’ that the open
Isn’t something you just get
We’re all chasing after something
It’s the chase that picks you up when you’ve got nothing
It’s the chase that keeps the engine hummin’

Waiting
Waiting
Waiting for a star to fall
Waiting by the phone for you to call
And tell me that you love me
This is all my fault
See I’m all alone
Just waiting for a star to fall
Waiting
Waiting
Waiting for a sign from above
Telling me that I’ll never lose your love
See you’re the only one I’m ever thinking of
And I’m all alone
Just waiting for a star to fall
I’ve seen how people they fall in love
And autumn leaves from the trees
And I’ve seen the rain come falling down
Like teardrops upon my cheek
Cryin’
Cryin’
Wishing that the sky would clear
See I could wait forever for a star to appear
I guess I’ll have to wish upon a falling tear
See I’m all alone
Just waiting for a star to fall
Waiting for a star to fall
Waiting for a star to fall

Circles
03:28
|

I’m just a bag of bones I’ve got no attitude on
I hit the jackpot now you’ve gotta fly away home
Cities they grow like the dust on the floor
We are just animals ain’t nothin more
Walking in circles we go through the turnstiles
Over and over again
Uh huh
Got you some fancy clothes plastic and fantastic now
Hand to mouth living’s no way to get laid in this town
Love is like war when you can’t pick a side
I’ll show you my teeth if you show me your pride
Walking in circles we go through the turnstiles
Over and over again
Uh huh
Ain’t that the way when you’re young
Your back’s straight as a line
On go the days you grow tired and a crick in your spine
Time stretches slow like the skin on your hand
Placing for picking the moments they stand out
Walking in circles we go through the turnstiles
Over and over again
Uh huh

Seein' Double
03:15
|
|||
Sittin’ here in this barroom
Where I spend most my time
Shootin’ pool and a talking
With some good friends of mine
I drink a beer with a whiskey
And when I hit number four
Well who do I see coming right through the door
Well I ain’t seein’ double
But I’m seein’ real bad
‘Cause I could swear that’s my sweetheart
With some other man
Well the doctor he told me
That my vision is fine
So it’s either I’ve lost her
Or I’m losing my mind
Figure I’d see it coming
Since my hearing’s no good
If she said she was leaving
I must have misunderstood
I need to come to my senses
At least one of the five
If I can’t smell these roses
Then I’m deaf dumb and blind
Well I ain’t seein’ double
But I’m seein’ real bad
‘Cause I could swear that’s my sweetheart
With some other man
Well the doctor he told me
That my vision is fine
So it’s either I’ve lost her
Or I’m losing my mind
I need a second opinion
In case I made a mistake
But my healthcare provider
Doesn’t cover heartbreak
So I guess I’ll just have to
Diagnose it myself
Well I know I’m not crazy
She must be somebody else
Well I ain’t seein’ double
But I’m seein’ real bad
‘Cause I could swear that’s my sweetheart
With some other man
Well the doctor he told me
That my vision is fine
So it’s either I’ve lost her
Or I’m losing my mind
So it’s either I’ve lost her
Or I’m losing my mind

My Holy Way
04:06
|
|||
When I find my holy way
I will drive one million miles and never stray into the blue
And blue will be the color of the day
When I find myself in love
I will look up at the sky and realize there’s nothing but
Just a moment in this universe for us
When I find that I am real
I will lie upon the ground and watch my body disappear
Oh my dear, it’s all up here
And I’ll know that I am free
Just the way that I could ever wish that I was meant to be
Just a simple melody
When I see my world within
I will find a living harmony below my very skin
Oh to never need again
And It’s all that goes away
To find the coming of the great and blessed ordinary day
Just an ordinary day
