Oh something’s burnin’ me
Oh something’s burnin’ me
Something’s burnin’ me
Skin’s too weak, I’m in too deep
Just take another drink
Just take another drink
Just take another drink
Down on me,
Away from me
Mama just let me go
I’ll catch my ride
Set me on fire tonight
Let the moonlight die
Mama just let me go
Catch my ride
Time get away from me
Time get away from me
Time get away from me
‘Way from me
Down on me
Just take another drink
Just take another drink
Just take another drink
Down on me
Away from me
Mama just let me go
I’ll catch my ride
Set me on fire tonight
Let the moonlight die
Mama just let me go
Catch my ride
When did the wind blow you away?
Why do I stretch myself so deep
Why’s the moment never sure
When to catch and to release?
Hoped you were my savior
An uncatch fisherman trading banks
Hopin’ for a fly in the sky
Take a moment, let’s take a week
Beer just blew and boasted moments
A fuzzy little friend
Stood and stayed and said forgotten
Where am I again?
I’m underneath a million smiling nights
What gives me the right to be forgotten
In the way and just a friend
Close the banks they are of sorrow
Close the banks of paying dues
But these soldiers run through the street of midnight
And run from me to you
chorus:
I’m a six gun lover
So I gots to die
Picture of Jesus
By my side
A pint of tequila
To lighten my ride
There’s a lonely girl on the other side
There’s a lonely girl on the other side
A hundred and eighty
And that’s no lie
Eatin’ a piece of your American pie
Rifles and roses
And roses and wine
There’s a lonely girl on the other side
There’s a lonely girl on the other side
There’s a lonely girl on the other side
So pick the bones off the road
It’s almost morning
Take the signs off the side
I ain’t got time
There’s a loaded pistol
And that’s your warning
There’s a lonely girl on the other side
There’s a lonely girl on the other side
chorus:
A hundred and eighty
A hundred and eighty
A hundred and eighty and it’s no lie
Eatin’ a piece of your American pie
Rifles and roses
And roses and wine
There’s a lonely girl on the other side
There’s a lonely girl on the other side….
Come back home girl
Come back home again
Yes come back home girl
Come back home again
You’ve been too long gone
And your soul been fishin’ in the wind
I say come back home girl
Come back home again
I found her down by the stream tonight
Laughin’ loud —whisky bottle in the moon light
A child lost, yes, a child lost in the night
And I say come home again
chorus:
You’ve been to long gone
And your soul been fishin’ in the wind
And so come back home girl
Come back home again
She don’t like the word surprise
Been too many times surprise arrives
With a phone call in the night without a light
Or a man leaving with out a fight
chorus:
So come back home girl
Come back home again
Yes come back home girl
Come back home again
Well I cast a line to sea
Tween the buzzin bees
Yes she sits next to me
Sips her morning tea
Well a song is on the breeze
Laughin’ with the trees
Yah that’s the life for me
A lovely melody
Her eyes are blastin blue
Yah and sing a laughin’ tune
Cross the endless sky
Never askin’ why
With a burnin’ symmetry
Her lips upon the tea
Well that’s the life for me
A lovely melody
The time may be at hand
To stand and be a man
Put truth above my dreams
Put water to the steam
But my eyes slip blastin’ blue
They soon come back to you
And the lovely symmetry
So I’ll put my line to sea
So I cast my line to sea
Between the buzzin’ bees
Yes she sits next to me
Sips her morning tea
Chorus:
Oh to life Oh to life
Oh to life Oh to life
Throw around the stars
Coffee and guitars
Toast the day
May the music play
And the world be ours
Sittin’ downtown starin’ at the news
Hopeless headlines, this paper’s got the blues
Crime ain’t stoppin and it’s time to pay the rent
But the coffee’s steamin’ and I wonder where my baby went
chorus
Gonna wander myself around this little town
Check out the churches, see if the bells will make a sound
Hidin’ my smoke from the laughin little kids
Smile hi to mama, did she just wink a bit?
chorus
Starin’ at my feet as I stumble down the street
Jumpin’ lines may break your mother’s back ya see
Mouth is hummin’ some tasty little tune
Strangers snicker but I think I got the right moves
Preacher man he came to me
With a cloth and cup
Said “Your sinnin’ days
Yah your reckless ways
The time to pay is up”
Well I laughed a song
that he was wrong
Save my soul another day
Because life is ripe, the moon is light
Tomorrow the sun will blaze
chorus:
He said “Settle down and save your soul tonight”
He said “Settle down everything will be just fine”
He said “You waste your time
On women, whiskey’s evil rhyme”
He said “Waste no more
Close the door
The devil is close behind”
I said “Waste my day?
Well I praise my day
With women and with wine
When that day is through
I praise it too
Whiskey, women and life
chorus:
Just fine. Just fine.”
He said “Save a soul and it will be just fine”
Well I say “Walk the ground
Don’t settle down
Sinners walk by night
But your soul will grow
Not by living slow
Or prayin in the night
But by bein’ there
Oh life will glare-
It’s footsteps upon your brow
Oh so settle down you priests, you clowns
The devil walks tonight”
chorus:
Just fine Just fine…”

Down at the bar
He sits down with his guitar
Thinks about the ladies and the nights
Closing one red eye
Spittin’ at the sky
Thinks about the one he loves
And the one he can’t forget
Sings of hope and dreams
As cocktails stream
As time slowly stumbles out the door
There’s a lost highway
Where the men all play
Who thought they had a
home in the stars
chorus:
Cuz you’re teasing the lion
Caressing the siren
Toasting the sober afternoon
While collecting insurance
Relyin on serpents
Polish off the helmet to your doom
To your doom doom doom yaha
La de da boom bah de
Bah da la de day
Well I say la de la do dum…
Well her smile is the sun
Don’t forget where she’s from
Her feet burn the tar right from the street “Well alas” she once said “My friends they’re all dead”
Wax wings drippin from the stars
chorus:
So play your best
Through this sticky mess
And hope that’s a light in your eyes
Cuz a tear it may be
Just a fly on TV
Wax wings drippin from the stars
Cuz you’re teasin’ the lions
Caressing the siren
Toasting the sober afternoon
While collecting insurance
Relyin on them serpents
Polish off the helmet to your doom
To your doom doom doom yaha
La de da boom bah de
Bah da la de day
Well I say la de la do dum…..
Down at the bar
I’ll sit down with my guitar
Think about the ladies and the nights
Yah, close one red eye
Well I’ll be spittin at the sky
Thinking about the one I love
