Woke up this morning crawled out between the sheets
My woman was warm, kisses oh so sweet
Wanted to stay but I had to go
Headed for the factory, made myself some dough
What can I say she¡¯s walking away
From what we¡¯ve seen
What can I do still loving you
It¡¯s all a dream
How can we
Hang on to a dream
How can it really be the way it seems
What can I do she ...

Dream comfort memory despair
And in my mind I still need a place to hide
All my changes were there
Blue blue windows behind the stars

It was a night, it was just another night
She was sayin¡¯ lots of nothing
She was none too bright
But you¡¯ll listen much to anythin¡¯
When anythin¡¯s in sight, won¡¯t ya!
Sad to be alone
Your only comfort is the telephone
Homesick again
Thoughts of far away
Silence is the only way to say
Ain't it a shame
What¡¯s goin' down, she don't understand

Go on without you

Of my lonely room

There¡¯s a woman in New Orleans
Said to love me she was born
But that was Friday payday
By Sunday she was gone
So I drove on down to Texas
Where I did not do to well
I fell hard for this woman ...
She was a wall street celebrity
With upward mobility
Walked and talked like a man
But that was o.k. by me
Two bit losers can never be choosers
No nit pickin¡¯ kickin¡¯ the can

Look around and you try and find your girl
And you¡¯re daring, too sick of what you see

Give detailed desires, I’d be tryin?like hell
You could leave a little clue

We're gonna cuddle up close
Gonna paint this town
We're gonna rub their noses

Welcome to the land of milk and honey
This is where your braves died to be free
Living in those days for love or money
Left your heart and soul at wounded knee

Walk me out in the morning dew today
I can't walk you out in no morning dew
I can't walk you out in no morning dew at all

Than we’ll ever need
The more we try, flame inside gets colder to the touch

She came from New York
Seems like a bright spark
Knew all the answers to the game
Moved to a new town
Soon pushed her way around
But you're a lady just the same

Silver stardust in her eyes
In the way she leaves her sighs
Last night I fell asleep

I've seen that girl before, I've seen the boys come and go
And still she's on her own
I've seen those tears before, I've seen her heart break
She knows what it means to be alone

I turn to the left, you move to the right
No matter what I do
I'm always on the other side of you
I'm always on the other side of you

Got to find a new place where I can hide from the rain

Runnin¡¯ in the big race, gotta get on
She¡¯s comin¡¯ on strong
There¡¯s something goin¡¯ on
It¡¯s the same old song but I gotta get on
I tried to hang on for as long as I could

Our love it has wasted
Right down to the core
Whatever we had
We don¡¯t have anymore
