Honey honey honey Don't leave me hangin on this way I know I'm a rambling like a madman But I'm a working up to my next play Take a good look around you and you may decide that you want to stay Honey honey honey Don't leave me hangin on this way Honey honey honey I know you got another man Heard he just got out the slammer, killed some poor fool with his bare hands I ain't afraid of dying, I must submit to what the good lord has planned Honey honey honey I know you got another man Honey honey honey Here comes your man to stake his claim He's built like a linebacker and looking to inflict some pain I know my bible stories, David stood in victory while Goliath he lay down slain Honey honey honey Here comes your man to stake his claim I ain't no Bruce Leroy I ain't no Jackie chan But I got a fire in my belly and I'm Damn good and ready to take a stand The bigger they are the harder they fall This may not turn out the way he plans Even if I ain't no Bruce Leroy and I ain't no Jackie chan Honey honey honey Please don't leave my hospital bed side I got an A for effort but in the end my victory was denied I wish that I could say that the only thing that hurt was my pride Honey honey honey Please don't leave my hospital bed side

It's a long road when it's raining And the sky won't let you see the sun Been on the run but my conscience is gaining Wish I could admit to the things I have done Looking at you in the dark that night Your blank eyes staring back at me I never promised you the world Never claimed to be your destiny we are shadows of the past lost on our way to what we became You don't need to consider me anymore don't need you to remember my name chorus And we love and we leave Screen door swinging in our path 2 subtract 1 = 1 it aint hard to do the math I first met you as a child Now I leave you as a man There are things i would go back and change but i know i never can The highway draws me closer You're standing still and getting further away I had a daydream that I held you close But you crumbled from the pressure of decay As the dust settled in the snow All that once was was now a memory I'll see you again one day Or the closest facsimile Chorus The mountain range looks down upon me The prairie glows in my rear view mirror It took 1000 miles of driving To finally realize what was always so clear Now as you drift off to sleep Never again to wake on this shore Don't need to consider my name don't have to remember me anymore

Sacramento's got your number Talahassee has got your name it kind of makes you wonder how long you gonna play this game blacken out the windows the sun ain't gonna win this round whistle blowin in the distance you know it's an awful sound Pittsburgh doesn't want to see you you know you don't want to see Detroit Albuquerque ain't no option no opportunity to exploit you need an understanding woman to fill your heart up with hope End up with some part time junkie she's just handing you the rope Birmingham alabama isn't where you thought it would all go down thought you had it in you to go another 15 rounds no call from the governor just the whisper of the cool black steel good ol fashioned frontier justice you were born looking at a raw deal A cold west wind is blowin' over your shallow grave you never made it down to Amarillo your soul was never meant to be saved

this storm is gonna rip you in half the gods will make you feel their wrath this pimp is gonna shake you down and then give you the run around this corner's gonna tell you the truth even if you think you're bulletproof the night is gonna eat you alive buzzin like a bee that's protecting the hive you introduce your arm to the syringe down in the alley for your late night binge no one can see you here anymore nobody left to mind the store your parents mourned your loss a long time ago or maybe their expectations hit a plateau hope springs eternal when roses are in bloom then the weather changes, it's all gloom and doom remember when you was 4 years old running through the garden hose everyone laughing and smiling the sun it shone so bright then remember when we were just kids doing what young kids did it's so hard to believe that we were those people how did we get so far away the cop flashes a light in your eyes you wonder if can empathize with you laying there covered in mud mixed in with the piss and the blood the night is your only shade protects you from the life you betrayed you used to be the queen of the ball don't know how you ended up so small

I like to do it evening I like to do it on the weekend I even like to do it in the afternoon Sometimes I like it quiet Nice and gentle like Sometimes I like it loud, a screaming, howlin' at the moon I'll do it at a wedding, a corporate Christmas party, or a Sunday night down at the last chance saloon I like to do it evening I like to do it on the weekend I even like to do it in the afternoon I'll do it in the barnyard It may look it but really ain't hard It brings me piece of my mind and chases away the gloom I'll do it by the roadside, I ain't ashamed and I won't hide, Heck I'd do it sitting on a chair in your living room I'll do it a pig roast I'll even do it with the host, If he or she can keep their instrument in tune. I like to do it evening I like to do it on the weekend I even like to do it in the afternoon I'll do it on the subway Just starting out my day People rushing by on their morning commute I'll do it with my jeans on Shorts and socks with sandals That's just wrong But If you like, I'll even wear a suit I like to do it evening I like to do it on the weekend I even like to do it in the afternoon Sometimes I like it quiet Nice and gentle like Sometimes I like it loud, a screaming, howlin' at the moon I'll do it at a wedding, a corporate Christmas party, or a Sunday night down at the last chance saloon I like to do it evening I like to do it on the weekend I even like to do it in the afternoon

shapin and a shiftin and a rollin and a driftin a feelin and a fallin and a weeblin and a wobblin A failing and succeeding and a begging and a pleading not knowing where you going is the only way to go and I got a hundred dollars and a clean starched collar We're getting on down tonight I'm a boy who loves his mother and is kind to his brother don't need no one to tell me nothin in this life is free i got a hole in my pocket gonna shoot off like a rocket You got a one way ticket Destination you cant pick it I'm a lover and fighter I'm a licker I'm a biter We're gettin on down tonight Interstellar space travel The judge he bangs his gavel Says its just a pipe dream That may be the way it seems But when we're hangin out in bars Over on Jupiter or Mars We'll have the last laugh When he acknowledges his gaff They say 147 is the new 111 We're getting on down tonight Some say God isn't real That depends on how you feel If he's with you right now have him stand and take a bow He's done one helluva job to inspire the angry mob Who light torches in his name look for somebody to blame They blame the muslims, blame the jews Next time they might blame you We're getting on down tonight You're born and then you're dead Now get that through your head I'm in information retrieval I ain't no Evil Kneivel But one slip on icy stairs And it's all just splitting hairs End up in the same place With or without a suitcase If there is another side I won't be trying to hide We're getting on down tonight

Me, me, me and my bad decisions Battle lines drawn fending off these visions Holding onto the fearx2 Roll, roll, roll I rock and I roll But I never ever thought you would ever let me go Come back to me dearx2 Remember I'd park outside your house and I'd rev my engine You'd come out runnin' with that fever you were catchin' It don't seem real to me now 100 years ago somehow Now I work To live like a slave No sense of purpose Cradle to the grave There's gotta be something more Please tell me there's something more Because my heart beats beats It beats like a drum In a cloud of smoke killing a fifth of rum Waiting for you to walk through that door Why won't you walk through that door I remember we'd drive out to the quarry And we'd talk all night Story after story The feeling was so right If I only knew how To go back there right now There are poets There are places There are points in time We use body language, we pantomime But the message gets through And it's always times two I'm a heart I'm a soul I'm a liver I'm a lung But even I don't know what I will become I'll become something new Hell, if that ain't true I remember the ocean I remember that place Salt on your wounds Sand in my face And you running away That was 100 years ago today

I'm at the bottom of the well I've a message that I need to send The water's well above my knees Time is running short my friend The darkness washes over me Allow your broken heart to mend One thing I truly believe I'm coming back when I reach the end Don't you cry another tear At the fading of the light We pass along this mortal coil But our soul never loses sight Weaving through the centuries Conquerors and peasants and the like Every life's a losing battle But we're never giving up the fight Days and nights will come and go Light will leave and lead us away My heart breaks a little every time I realize there's nothing left to say I know nothing of another side Only this feeling in my skin We aren't the sum of just these parts But Nobody's paying for their sins
