Leaving Las Vegas

Life springs eternalOn a gaudy neon streetNot that I care at allI spent the best part of my losing streakIn an Army JeepFor what I can’t recallOh I’m banging on my TV setAnd I check the oddsAnd I place my betI pour a drinkAnd I pull the blindAnd I wonder what I’ll find [Chorus]I’m Leaving […]


Love Is A Good Thing

Watch out sister, watch out brother,Watch our children while they kill each otherWith a gun they bought at Wal-mart discount storesWelcome to the hallway, metal detectors just been installedHey isn’t cops and robbers gettin’ to be a big boreMary, Mary quite contrary, close the door now,It’s much too scaryAnd your might see something you wish […]


My Favorite Mistake

I woke up and called this morningThe tone of your voice was a warningThat you don’t care for me anymore I made up the bed we sleep inI looked at the clock when you creep inIt’s 6 a.m. and I’m alone [Chorus]Did you know when you goIt’s the perfect endingTo the bad day I was […]

Old James Dean MonroeHands out flowers at the Shop-N-GoHopes for money but all he gets is fearAnd the wind blows up his coatAnd this he scribbles on a perfume note"If I’m not here, then you’re not here"And he says, "Call me Miscreation,I’m a walking celebration" [Chorus]And it’s hard to make a standHard to make a […]


Riverwide

I spent a year in the mouth of a whaleWith a flame and a book of signsYou’ll never know how hard I’ve failedTrying to make up for lost time Once I believed in things unseenI was blinded by the darkOut of the multitude to meHe came and broke my heart When the dust in the […]


It's Only Love

I think I met my match againStanding round the candlelightIn the middle of this blizzardYou stood and melted all the ice o [CHORUS:]It’s only loveIt’s only love If only love comes round againIt will have beenWorth the ride oYou were master of so manySavior to noneI waged all of my hopes so plenty on youNow […]
