DISLOCATED BOY

I've been gone a long time lost in the seven seas

Sail on, don't you come back until you learn the birds and the bees

Who will you find waiting for you, squeeze blood in the wine

Left to call my preacher and my very lovely wife.

I said, hey now, knocked down, why'd you do it,

Roll me like a hurricane

All is a bust and I'm numb, like novocaine

Who done it, what's up, you said,

Sell me out why don't you boy,

I'm alone, severely broken,

I'm a dislocated boy.

I have thought to rise my dictions and I've suffocated my pride

‘fore you and I embarked on one hell of a ride

Boy, I've had these blues since I been six years old

But tell me don't you worry ‘bout my very heavy load.

And I said, knock down, drag out, bar fight,

Knuckles on the floor and there's shattered glass,

And one hell of a scar

Broke down and hungry, you said so

Sell me out, why don't you boy,

I'm alone, severely broken,

I'm a dislocated boy.

All I need is my old guitar, and I'll play you the best damn blues.

Heavy affections, and I hate to lose

Thirty-five years ago, I was born on Robert Johnson's

It's all been for you baby, I'm gonna make it back someday.

And I said, hey now, knocked down, why'd you do it,

Roll me like a hurricane

All is a bust and I'm numb, like novocaine

Who done it, what's up, you said,

Sell me out why don't you boy,

I'm alone, severely broken,

I'm a dislocated boy.

So tell me about your working class hero, baby

Tell me 'bout your king

Mine was born in Mississippi, 'round 1923.

Blue collar flannel shirts was my Father's way

Worked in a factory, 'til his dying day.

And I said, knock down, drag out, bar fight,

Knuckles on the floor and there's shattered glass,

And one hell of a scar

Broke down and hungry, you said so

Sell me out, why don't you boy,

I'm alone, severely broken,

I'm a dislocated boy

Alone, severely broken,

I'm a dislocated boy.

Alone, severely broken,

I'm a dislocated boy.

Alone, severely broken,

I'm a dislocated boy

Alone, severely broken,

I'm a dislocated boy

Alone, severely broken,

I'm a dislocated boy

Alone, severely broken,

I'm a dislocated boy

STONES IN MY PASSWAY

I got stones in my passway, and my road seems dark as night

I got stones in my passway, and my road seems dark as night

I have pains in my heart, uuuuuh, taken my appetite

I have a bird to whistle, and I have a bird to sing

Have a bird to whistle, and I have a bird to sing

I got a woman that I'm lovin', boy, but she don't mean a thing

My enemies betrayed me, have overtaken poor Bob at last

My enemies betrayed me, have overtaken poor Bob at last

And there's one thing certainly, uuuuuh, they have stones all in my pass

Now you tryin' to take my life, and all my lovin' too

You laid a passway for me, now what are you trying to do?

I'm cryin' please, please let us be friends

And when you hear me howlin' in my passway, rider, uuuuuh, open your door and let me in

I got three lane's to truck home, boys, please don't block my road

I got three lane's to truck home, boys, please don't block my road

I've been feelin' ashamed 'bout my rider, babe, I'm booked and I got to go.

DRIVING TOWARDS THE DAYLIGHT

Look upon a mountain, waitin' on a train,

Baby I know what's wrong and it's still happening

Waiting on my destiny, learning from my abilities

Who was wrong and who was right and

do we even know why we are fighting?

So take your eyes off of me and look upon the churning sea.

Driving towards the daylight, running from the midnight

Trying to get my way home.

Running from the spotlight, trying to find the daylight,

trying to get back home

Rusty strings on my old guitar, speaks volumes of who you are

So never did I think it was you, it was me, one of the chosen few

Who will it be, oh the next time?

Hopefully one with more sense of mind

So where did you go?

Always will see, it's a story of you and me

Driving towards the daylight, running from the midnight

Trying to get my way home.

Running from the spotlight, trying to find the daylight,

trying to get back home

Driving towards the daylight, running from the midnight

Trying to get my way home

Running from the spotlight, trying to find the daylight,

trying to get my way home

Driving towards the daylight, running from thet midnight

Trying to get my way home

Running from the spotlight, trying to find the daylight,

trying to get my way home

A PLACE IN MY HEART

Sometimes I wonder what am I gonna do

Sometimes I'm afraid now darling, I still look around for you

No matter who you are, no matter what you do

There's a place in my heart for you

Here all along, sitting here with my boots

Alone cold and scared now baby, whoa, I've been missing you

All the time I've been thinking, everything we've been through

There's a place in my heart for you

Yes and I wonder, do you know how I feel baby

Believe me when I tell you now darling

This here is for real

Oh it's time for me to start over

Go and get something new

I'm so lost without you baby

I don't know what to do

Sometimes I wonder what am I gonna do

Sometimes I'm afraid now darling, I’m still looking for you

No matter who you are, and no matter what you do

There's a place in my heart for you

I've seen trouble come, all the tears I've cried

Trouble coming baby, but time's on my side

There's a place in my heart for you.

LONELY TOWN LONELY STREET

You can live your life in a crowded city

You can walk along in a crowded street

But the city really ain't no bigger

Than the friendly people, friendly people that you meet

Friendly people that you meet

You might be a sweet young, sweet young pretty princess

And the dances you can't keep your seat

But, if dances don't lead to romances

Might as well be born, born with two left feet

Born with two left feet

You might be a sweet-toned sure enough high-class talker

You might be a stone, stone expert at kissing

But it don't do too much good to be talking, yeah

Brother, when there ain't no, ain't nobody listening

Ain’t nobody listening

And if you are shy, just not much of a talker

Don't impress the people, oh, that you meet

You might as well be a lonely walker

In a lonely town, on a lonely street

On a lonely street

Oooh!

HEAVENLY SOUL

Heavenly soul, heavenly soul

Where did old Marley Quinn go?

Heavenly soul, heavenly soul

Where did old Marley Quinn go?

I got peaches in my pantry,

Bakin’ upon my shelf

I got peaches in my pantry,

Bakin’ upon my shelf

Well I'm so damn tired of being by myself

Well I had a good woman but

Unkindness drove her away

Well I had a good woman but

Unkindness drove her away

In the summer '29 landlord sent her away

Whoa, whoa,

Heavenly soul, heavenly soul

Where did old Marley Quinn go

Heavenly soul, heavenly soul

Where did old Marley Quinn go

I tried to forget her,

Act like a reckless man

So I tried to forget her,

And act like a reckless man

Well I swallowed my pride and that did it in again,

And my father told me, plant in the dirt, my son.

Well my father told me, plant in the dirt, my son,

But for 200 years my family worked his lands.

Woo-ho-oh, woo-ho-oh.

But I plant this-a road, to fulfill my life,

To this piece of land that I always knew was ours

But I know for certain right now, I was wrong.

Heavenly soul, heavenly soul,

Where did old Marley Grace go-oh?

Woo-ho-oh, woo-ho-oh.

NEW COAT OF PAINT

Let's put a new coat of paint on this lonesome old town

Set 'em up, we'll be knockin' on down

You wear a dress, baby, I'll wear a tie

Laugh at that old bloodshot moon in that burgundy sky

All our scribbled love dreams are lost or thrown away

Here amidst the shuffle of an overflowin' day

Our love needs a transfusion let's shoot it full of wine

Fishin' for a good time starts with throwin' in your line.

Let's put a new coat of paint on this lonesome old town

Set em' up, we'll be knockin' on down

You wear a dress, baby, I'll wear a tie

Laugh at that old bloodshot moon in that burgundy sky

TOO MUCH AIN’T ENOUGH LOVE

You walked in my life, with an angel’s smile

How could I have known, hunger locked in time

We can start a fire, but we can't control the flame

and I just can't wait, to feel that heat again

In the middle of the night she cry

Too much ain't enough love to satisfy me, yeah

I said too much ain’t enough love to satisfy me

Well, it just seems like yesterday, I was running alone

And I turn my back on love, but baby I wasn’t wrong

Do I miss your touch, I tell myself a lie

I can't get enough, when I'm lying by your side

In the middle of the night she cry

Too much ain't enough love to satisfy me, yeah

Too much ain’t enough love to satisfy me

I gotta burn his heart, baby

And I can't get enough, when I'm lying by your side

In the middle of the night she cry

Too much ain't enough love to satisfy me, yeah

I said, too much ain’t enough love to satisfy me

I gotta burn it hard, baby

Too much ain't enough love to satisfy me

But I smoke as fire baby
