All I know is what I've been sold
You can read my life like a fortune told I've seen the dream, there's no land of Oz But I got my brain and I got a heart And courage built I won't let go What we need right now is ....soul I can't do this, you can't do that They feed us lines but I won't act And all good things will come to pass But the truth is all you have to have And would you lie for it? (Do you) cry for it? (Would you) die for it? Would you I believe, I believe With every breath that I breathe You and me can turn a whisper to a scream I believe, I believe You know what you came here for You'll pay the cost, like it's your cross to bear Are we the ones that put it there Would you scheme for it scream for it, bleed for it Would you I belive, I believe Believe we're still worth The fight you'll see There's no hope for this world tonight I believe, I believe Don't look up on your movie screens In record stores or magazines Close your eyes and you will see That you are all you really need I believe, I believe With every breath that I breathe You and me can turn a whisper to a scream I believe, I believe |

Sitting here wasted and wounded at this old piano
Trying hard to capture the moment this morning I don't know 'Cause a bottle of vodka is still lodged in my head And some blond gave me nightmares I think she's still in my bed As I dream about movies they won't make of me when I'm dead With an ironclad fist I wake up and French kiss the morning While some marching band keeps its own beat in my head While we're talking About all of the things that I long to believe About love and the truth and what you mean to me And the truth is baby you're all that I need I want to lay you on a bed of roses For tonight I sleep on a bed on nails I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is And lay you down on bed of roses Well I'm so far away That each step that I take is on my way home A king's ransom in dimes I'd given each night Just to see through this payphone Still I run out of time Or it's hard to get through Till the bird on the wire flies me back to you I'll just close my eyes and whisper, baby blind love is true I want to lay you down on a bed of roses For tonight I sleep on a bed on nails I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is And lay you down on bed of roses The hotel bar hangover whiskey's gone dry The barkeeper's wig's crooked And she's giving me the eye I might have said yeah But I laughed so hard I think I died When you close your eyes Know I'll be thinking about you While my mistress she calls me To stand in her spotlight again Tonight I won't be alone But you know that don't mean I'm not lonely I've got nothing to prove For it's you that I'd die to defend I want to lay you down on a bed of roses For tonight I sleep on a bed on nails I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is And lay you down on bed of roses For tonight I sleep on a bed on nails I want to be just as close as the Holy Ghost is And lay you down on bed of roses |

Across the border they turn
Water into wine Some say it's the devil's blood They're squeezing from the vine Some say it's a saviour In these hard and desperate times For me it helps me to forget That we're just born to die I came here like so many did To find the better life To find my piece of easy street To finally be alive And I know nothing good comes easy And all good things take some time I made my bed I'll lie in it To die in it's the crime You can't help but prosper Where the streets are paved with gold They say the oil wells ran deeper here than anybody's known I packed up on my wife and kid And left them back at home Now there's nothing in this paydirt The ghosts are all I know Now the oil's gone The money's gone And the jobs are gone Still we're hangin' on Down in dry county They're swimming in the sand Praying for some holy water To wash the sins from off our hand Here in dry county The promise has run dry Where nobody cries And no one's getting out of here alive In the blessed name of Jesus I heard a preacher say That we are God's children And He'd be back someday And I hoped that he knew Something as he drank his cup of wine I didn't have too good of a feeling As I head out to the night I cursed the sky to open I begged the clouds for rain I prayed to God for water For this burning in my veins It was like my soul's on fire And I had to watch the flames All my dreams went up in ashes And my future blew away Now the oil's gone And the money's gone And the jobs are gone Still we're hangin' on Down in dry county They're swimming in the sand Praying for some holy water To wash the sins from off our hand Here in dry county The promise has run dry Where nobody cries And no one's getting out of here alive Men spend their whole lives Waiting praying for their big reward But it seems sometimes The payoff leaves you feeling Like a dirty whore If I could choose the way I'll die Make it by the gun or knife 'Cause the other way there's too much pain Night after night after night Down in dry county They're swimming in the sand Praying for some holy water To wash the sins from off our hand Here in dry county The promise has run dry Where nobody cries And no one's getting out of here alive |

they turn water into wine Some say it's the devil's blood They're squeezing from the vine Some say it's a saviour in these hard and desperate times You see it helps me to forget that we're just born to die I came here like so many did to find the better life to find my piece of easy street to finally be alive I knew nothing good comes easy All good things take some time I made my bed I'll lie in it to die in It's the crime You can't help but prosper where the streets are paved with gold They say the oil wells ran deeper here than anybody's known Now I packed up on my wife and kid And left the both back at home See there's nothing in this pay dirt The ghosts are all I know Now the oil's gone And the money's gone All the jobs are gone Still we're hanging on down in dry county They're swimming in the sand praying for some holy water to wash these sins from off our hands In dry county the promise has run dry Where nobody cries And no one's getting out of here alive Not this time In the blessed name of Jesus I heard a preacher say That we are all God's children And He'd be back, back someday I hoped that he knew something As he drank that cup of wine I didn't have too good feeling As I head out to the night I cursed the sky to open I begged the clouds for rain I prayed to God for water for this burning in my veins It was like my soul's on fire And I had to watch the flames All my dreams went up in ashes And my future blew away Now the oil's gone And the money's gone All the jobs are gone Still they're hanging on down in dry county They're swimming in the sand praying for some holy water to wash these sins from off our hands In dry county the promise has run dry Where nobody cries And no one's getting out of here alive Men spend their whole lives waiting praying for their big reward But it seems sometimes the payoff leaves you feeling like a dirty whore If I could choose the way I'll die Make it by the gun or knife Cause the other way There's too much pain Night after night after night after night Oh down in dry county where they're swimming in the sand praying for some holy water to wash these sins from off our hands In dry county the promise has run dry Where nobody cries And no one's getting out of here Dry county No one's getting out of here Dry county, no |

Tell me who do you think's out there You're reaching for your four leaf clover But baby there ain't no luck down there I swear that there's no heart in this city It's here the slogan reads "Do your time" everybody's doing their sentence It's just there ain't nobody here Who knows just what's the crime I watched my father live a lie here I'd rather die than fade away I read the rules And yeah I know them Still you ain't ever gonna Make me play the game of Fear Fear Fear Fear Running with the rats Through the city Makes you feel like you're A partner in crime Girl once you won't stop to watch That little girl did Hey baby won't you stop and hear me Just being here we're breathing heart attacks We can run and chase The setting sun we can run And we won't ever look back Take my hand I know we'll make it I'll let nothing slow us down I know you want to curse This place but there's only One thing that's stopping us now Fear fear fear Of a new thing Fear fear fear Of the brass ring You ain't one for taking chances You work and live and breathe that 9 to 5 Still that's what you call living That's surviving to me And surviving is living to die in Fear |

Was the night she said goodbye She said that love's a stranger And it's sure to pass you by As she packed up her belongings She wouldn't look me in the eye But I could see a tear roll Off her face As we both tried so hard Not to cry she said I never wanted the stars I never shot for the moon I like them right where they are All I wanted was you So baby just turn away Because I can't face the truth All I'm trying to say Is all I wanted was you I tried so hard to remember Where when how why love went away I tried to drown myself in pity But the whiskey kept calling your name I bought you fancy cars and diamond rings All the things that money brings And the servants to paint the sky blue And I worked so hard seven days a week And built a fortress for your heart to keep If I could I'd wrap these words up for you I never wanted the stars I never shot for the moon I like them right where they are All I wanted was you So baby just turn away Because I can't face the truth All I'm trying to say Is all I wanted was you I may have built for you a dreamhouse But never thought you were alone I filled the party up with company But never made our house a home All I got is my guitar these chords and the truth All I got is my guitar ... but all I want is you |

The last time I saw her
Was the night she said good-bye She said that love's a stranger And it's sure to pass you by As she packed up her belongings She wouldn't look me in the eye But I could see a tear roll off her face As we both tried so hard Not to cry she said Chorus: I never wanted the stars I never shot for the moon I like them right where they are All I wanted was you So baby just turn away Because I can't face the truth All I'm trying to say is All I wanted was you I tried so hard to remember Where when how why love went away I tried to drown myself in pity But your memory kept calling your name I bought you fancy cars and diamond rings Baby all the things that money brings And the servants to paint the skies blue And I worked so hard seven days a week And built a fortress for your heart to keep If I could I'd wrap these words up for you Chorus I may have built for you a dream house But never thought you were alone I filled the party up with company But never made our house a home All I got is my guitar these chords and the truth All I got is my guitar ... but all I want is you |

First time I heard the music
I thought it was my own I could feel it in my heartbeat I could feel it in my bones My momma thinks I'm crazy My dad says I'm insane I got this boogie woogie fever That's burning in my veins They tried to take me to a doctor But it's too late for me Then they took me to a preacher That they saw on their TV Who said that for a small donation My lost soul would be saved I said I don't think so preacher I'll come back another day All I want, is to be a Rolling Stone They don't understand what we all know It feels so good that it ought to be illegal I got my vaccination from a pornograf needle I'll never grow up and I'll never grow old Blame it on the love of rock & roll My teachers didn't like me they always Tried to put me down 'Cause I wore my hair too long I played my music way too loud Every little boy wants to learn to play guitar So he can pick up all the chicks And be a rock-n-roll star They said it won't last, but they misunderstood If people think it's bad then I'll be bad for good It feels so good that it ought to be illegal I got my vaccination from a pornograf needle I'll never grow up and I'll never grow old Blame it on the love of rock & roll Blame it on the love, blame it on the love Dad don't understand what the little girls know Blame it on the love of rock-n-roll All I wanted, all I ever needed My guitar gave to me Every song I've sung blame it on love Every war I've won blame it on love Everything I've done blame it on love Blame it on the love of rock-n-roll It feels so good that it ought to be illegal I got my vaccination from a pornograf needle I'll never grow up and I'll never grow old Blame it on the love of rock & roll Blame it on the love, blame it on the love Dad don't understand what the little girls know Blame it on the love of rock-n-roll |

Mother mother tell your children
That their time has just begun I have suffered for my anger There are wars that can't be won Father father please believe me I am laying down my guns I am broken like an arrow Forgive me Forgive your wayward son Everybody needs somebody to love (mother, mother) Everybody needs somebody to hate (please believe me) Everybody's bitching 'cause they can't get enough And it's hard to hold on When there's no one to lean on Faith: you know you're gonna live thru the rain Lord you got to keep the faith Faith: don't let your love turn to hate Right now we got to Keep the faith Keep the faith Keep the faith Lord we got to keep the faith Tell me baby when I hurt you Do you keep it all inside Do you tell me al's forgiven And just hide behind your pride Everybody needs somebody to love (mother, father) Everybody needs somebody to hate (please don't leave me) Everybody's bleeding 'cause the times are tough Well it's hard to be strong When there's no one to dream on Faith: you know you're gonna live thru the rain Lord you got to keep the faith Now you know is not too late Oh you got to keep the faith Faith: don't let your love turn to hate Right now we got to Keep the faith Keep the faith Keep the faith Lord we got to keep the faith Walking in the footsteps Of society's lies I don't like what I see no more Sometimes I wish that I was blind Sometimes I wait forever To stand out in the rain So no one sees me cryin' Trying to wash away the pain Mother father There's things I've done I can't erase Every night we fall from grace It's hard with the world in yours face Trying to hold on, trying to hold on Faith: you know you're gonna live thru the rain Lord you got to keep the faith Faith: don't let your love turn to hate Right now we got to keep the faith Faith: now it's not too late Try to hold on, trying to hold on Keep the faith |
