Lyrics
Rolling On
You can lay down and die
You can lay up and count the tears you cry
Baby, that’s not me
There’s a big wide world I was born to see
I’m rolling on
Leave these hard times back behind me
Moving on
Down the road is where you’ll find me
Right or wrong
Take nothing to remind me
Going strong
There won’t be a tie to bind me
Tell me do you want to ride?
I’ve seen those restless feelings you can’t hide
It’s time to make our getaway
Side by side
Come what may
We’ll be rolling on
Leave these hard times back behind me
Moving on
Down the road is where you’ll find me
Right or wrong
Take nothing to remind me
Going strong
There won’t be a tie to bind me
I don’t intend to fade away
Or let the world run over me
I take it out and straight away
Rolling wheels
What will be will be
We’ll be rolling on
Leave these hard times back behind me
Moving on
Down the road is where you’ll find me
Right or wrong
Take nothing to remind me
Going strong
There won’t be a tie to bind me
I’ve got miles on this heart
But I’ve never been afraid to start
Cut it loose and set it free
Straight from here to eternity
We’ll be rolling on
Leave these hard times back behind me
Moving on
Down the road is where you’ll find me
Right or wrong
Take nothing to remind me
Going strong
There won’t be a tie to bind me
It Was Always So Easy (To Find An Unhappy Woman)
I drove through the park
I searched all the bars
Where I made out with love too many times
It was always so easy
To find an unhappy woman
Till I started looking for mine
Some beer drinkin’ devil
Is holding my angel
And I know what he’ll do
If he’s my kind
It was always so easy
To find an unhappy woman
Till I started looking for mine
The note on the door
Said I warned you before
What I’d do if you cheated one more time
It was always so easy
To find an unhappy woman
Till I started looking for mine
Some beer drinkin’ devil
Is holding my angel
And I know what he’ll do
If he’s my kind
It was always so easy... 2x to end
Peace of Mind
Out there in the world
Can’t you feel the changing times?
People out there grabbing
Every nickel, every dime
And you and me
Tell me, baby, what’s it gonna be?
All I’m trying to find is just a little peace of mind
Now when I was a young man
I believed in everything
Now I’m not a young man
I don’t know what song to sing
I’ve been straight
I’ve been true
I’ve been knocked down
Black and blue and
All I’m tryin’ to find is just a little peace of mind
Still I can’t say
I wanna tear it apart
And throw it all away
All I’m trying to find is just a little peace of mind
Cause the rain’s coming down
Sometimes flowers grow
Sometimes people drown
All I’m trying to find is just a little peace of mind
How Do You Know
How do you know which way I swing
Until you see me at the bat?
How do you know I call this my home
Because it’s where I hand my hat?
How do you know how fast I drive
Until you’re riding in my car?
How do you know how far to go
Until you get too far?
How do you know how much it costs
Until you pay the price?
How do you know how good it is
Until you feel it twice?
How do you know how much we drank
Until you check the whiskey jar?
How do you know how far to go
Until you go too far?
Oh, Momma, won’t you take me home?
Oh, baby, won’t you take me home?
How do you know how dark it is
Until you see the light?
How do you know how sweet it is
Until you take a bite?
How do you know how deep it cuts
Until you see the scar?
How do you know how far to go
Until you go too far?
Oh, Momma, won’t you take me home?
Oh, baby, won’t you take me home?
Fun For A While
Out with my freeway friends
Running red lights
We went the distance then
And that extra mile
We were not moneyed men
But we sure knew how to spend
I miss it now and then
It was fun for a while
Winking a wicked eye
At all the women
Picking up anything
That returned our smile
Winking that wicked eye
Drinking that river dry
Thinking that we'd never die
It was fun for a while
Stayed up for days on end
Chasing chances
Made up in craziness
What we lacked in style
Nothin' could stop us then
No one could stop us then
Don't want it back again
But it was fun for a while
It was fun for a while
Sure was fun, for a while
Wastin’ Time
Come here baby I’m going down slow
Comin’ up with nothin’ girl
I’ve got nothing to show
And it feels like, I’m wastin’ my time
Hangin’ round the station
Another empty track
Waitin’ for a slow train baby
That’s never coming back
And it feels like, I’m wastin’ my time
And it feels like, I’m wastin’ my time
Trapped on a sinkin’ ship tied to the mast
The ocean’s deep and the tides change fast
Oh, baby, how long can this last?
Minutes turn to hours
Hours turn to days
Lie down close with me, baby
There’s something i got to say
It don’t seem like nothing girls ever goin’ my way
And it feels like, I’m wastin’ my time
And it feels like, I’m wastin’ my time
Trapped on a sinkin’ ship tied to the mast
The ocean’s deep and the tides change fast
Oh, baby, how long can this last?
Some Other Time, Some Other Place
Rain woke me up and I watched it all day
When something’s all over there’s not much to say
The first move you made you were moving away
The last move I made I was hoping you’d stay
Some other time, some other place
Summer is gone and there's no one around
The beach is all empty and the shops are closed down
I toss up a coin, it hangs in the air
Heads I stay here, tails I go anywhere
Some other time, some other place
One more goodbye don’t mean a thing
Like rocks hittin’ what makes rings upon rings
Maybe tomorrow we’ll stand face to face
Some other time, some other place
Lovers are gamblers and they risk it all
To look at the face of the next card that falls
You can't choose the cards that you're given to play
Why do the best ones just slip away?
Some other time, some other place
Rain came so hard it got in my dreams
I dreamed you crying rivers and streams
I dreamed you laughing, crying and wild
Inside each person, there's always a child
Some other time, some other place
Rocks hit the water, etc.
Time is so hard, it chips us away
Till we’re frozen like statues in the cold light of day
Winners may lose and losers may win
When something is over, something begins
It’s Raining
Come on in, from the storm
Come on in, from the storm
‘Cause it’s rainin’
Rainin’ too hard
Some people don’t work
Some work too hard
And some are still waitin’
For their lucky card
I gathered some dreams
In the palm of my hand
How fast a dream
Can slip from a man
Come on in, from the storm
Come on in, from the storm
‘Cause it’s rainin’
Rainin’ so hard
Towers of silver
Towers of gold
So hard to get
So hard to hold
A rainbow stretched
Across the sky
So hard to see
With a cloud in your eye
Come on in, from the storm
Come on in, from the storm
‘Cause it’s rainin’
Rainin’ oh so hard
When my backs against the wall
I ride it all and another rain falls
It’s so hard, hard to hold on
But I know some sun is coming after the storm
And it’s rainin’, rainin’ so hard
And it’s rainin’, rainin’ so hard
Storm cloud in my eyes now
Love Stinks
You love her, but she loves him
And he loves somebody else, you just can’t win
And so it goes, till the day you die
This thing called love, it’s gonna make you cry
I’ve had the blues, the reds, and the pinks
One thing’s for sure, love stinks
Love stinks, yeah yeah
Love stinks, yeah yeah
Love stinks, yeah yeah
Love stinks, yeah yeah
Two by two, and side by side
Love’s gonna find you, yes it is, you just can’t hide
You’ll hear it call, your heart will fall
Then love will fly, It’s gonna soar
I don’t care for any Casanova thing
All I can say is, love stinks
Love stinks, yeah yeah
Love stinks, yeah yeah
Love stinks, yeah yeah
Love stinks, yeah yeah
I’ve been through diamonds, I’ve been through minks
I’ve been through it all, love stinks
Mr. Mistake
I used to play the horses
Yeah, they knew me at the track
I bet a lot of winners
See? I guess I had the knack
My picks came in like widows
At a crowded Irish wake
But then I blew more money
Than good men ever make
That's when I earned the name "Mr. Mistake"
They told me you were trouble
I said, "Ah, she's a piece of cake"
I thought you was a treasure
But you were nothing but a fake
I thought you were a goddess
Or at least some kind of Saint
You took me to the cleaners
Girl a saint is what you ain't
Chalk another one off for "Mr. Mistake"
So now I'm counting cobwebs
At the Down and Out Hotel
And I'm spending what I borrow
On this cut rate muscatel
I found out that God gave me
A heart and it could break
The odds are stacked against me
But I'm back and on the make
Hope one day to change this name... "Mr. Mistake."
Tragedy
Wind and storm (wah-ooh), gone’s the sun (wah-ooh)
From the stars (was-ooh) my dark has come
You’ve gone from me, whoa, whoa, tragedy
Oh, come back (come back), have me here (right here)
Hold me, love (my love), be sincere
You’ve gone from me, whoa, whoa, tragedy
Like smoke (like smoke) from a fire (from a fire)
Of love (of love) whoa, oh, oh, whoa
Our dreams (our dreams) have all gone (all gone)
Above (above) whoa, oh, oh, whoa
Blown (blown by wind), kissed by the snow
All that’s left is the dark be- (below)
You’ve gone from me, whoa, whoa, tragedy
Whoa, whoa, whoa tragedy
Stranger
You were no stranger when he
Introduced you to me
But you pretended
Not to know me, sweetheart
Though I tried hard not to cry
I found a teardrop in my eye
When you walked off
My world fell apart
What can you say when your lover
Becomes a stranger to you
Just hope and pray you recover
That sweet love you knew
So if you ever change your mind,
I won’t be hard to find
Stranger, you’re no stranger
Stranger, you’re no stranger
Stranger, you’re no stranger to me
