Sundays with the drink and the hounds and the whores Señoritas and their long black hair in the doors Dirty bar room floors and open pours Sundays never smile anymore Between the bums and dead end kids I can hear ‘em all laugh at the lives they live I can hear ‘em all laugh at what they been Doctors, lawyers, bankers, bums in the end Twenty dollars on the windowsill Bet it all that we get our fill We can ride on out tonight Old Cadillac Coupe Deville Bet your sweet ass I will We can ride on out tonight I remember what my dear old momma said You’re gonna live ‘round here ‘till your dead You’d better get that through your head Oh momma how could I forget She’d say it with an angel’s kiss But angels would never live like this We can ride on out tonight There are some that I’m gonna miss But it ain’t much of a list We can rid on out tonight Well I live in a no good town She gets worse when the sun goes down I can hear her dirty magic sounds She drops her bombs upon the ground Bombs in her clothes, bombs in her prose Bombs in the basements down below Bombs in the Sunday picture show Sundays never smile anymore No money and my hands are sore Aw honey that’s what roads are for We can ride on out tonight I heard it said many times before Sundays never smile anymore We can ride on out tonight

Don’t let your heart Don’t let your heart Don’t let your heart Be troubled when I lay my boots to rest When I lay them to rest For I’ve walked these old boots ragged and half to death Don’t let your heart Don’t let your heart Don’t let your heart Be troubled when I lay my guns to rest When I lay them to rest For they’ve cried like thunder when they shaken on down the best What good is a horse without a rider? And a gun without a hand? What good is man without a woman? And a woman without a man? South sun shines South sun shines South sun shines so bright On my baby in the morning In the morning sun All I need are my boots, my baby and gun The good land comes The good land goes The good land turns to bad With a little change of clothes And some neon lights I never seen nothin’ so sad in all my life What good is a horse without a rider? And a gun without a hand? What good is man without a woman? And a woman without a man? Never known what I was after Spent my whole life ramblin’ round Well the good lord’s gonna hold me As the good land’s commin’ down What good is a horse without a rider? And a gun without a hand? What good is man without a woman? And a woman without a man? Never known what I was after Spent my whole life ramblin’ round Well the good lord’s gonna hold me As the good land’s commin’ down Well the good lord’s gonna hold me As the good land’s commin’ down

Rock Island 04:05
Kill em all slowly, kill em all soft Kill em all lonely, kill em all lost I dream a promise, and I long for the day Kill em all slowly, kill em all brave Saddled in sadness, saddled in sin Rattled by roses, rattled by gin I have grown weary of the morning sun Smolderin’ madness, smolderin’ gun Oh Rock Island Carry me something Oh Rock Island Take care of me good Have mercy on a man And his late life crimes Oh Rock Island Only friend of mine They say wild is the reason, rage is the style Won’t you stay a little longer, just a little while I love these crooked evenings with you and your wine Oh Rock Island, only friend of mine To be your sweetheart, to be your man Take all my money, take all my land I dream of lightning and streets of gold Kill em all slowly, kill em all cold Oh Rock Island Carry me something Oh Rock Island Take care of me good Have mercy on a man And his late life crimes Oh Rock Island Only friend of mine Oh Rock Island Only friend of mine

I was born to some north mountain lovers I was born to the dirt and the pine I will take me a north mountain lover And she will be my north mountain bride There was a time I was stuck in the bramble I was alone with myself on my side Just wakin’ up was a hell of a gamble That’s when I saw my north mountain bride North mountain bride North mountain bride North mountain bride North mountain bride Hills were painted with sun and flowers I could smell Texas if I only tried I could see cities and walls and towers All that I want is my north mountain bride Where I been and where I’m going Don’t mean a thing if she ain’t by my side All that I know’s if I’m gone then I’m going And I will be there with my north mountain bride North mountain bride North mountain bride North mountain bride North mountain bride Someday my boy will say to the others Someday not too far down the line I was born to a north mountain lover And I was born to his north mountain bride North mountain bride North mountain bride North mountain bride North mountain bride

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye my friend I whisper to the door The snow has covered everything You don’t need me anymore I’ll keep the time that we have shared Fresh upon my mind Please be gentle, please be fair When you’re leavin’ me behind The cat will cry When you say goodbye Please be gentle, please be fair When you’re leavin’ me behind When you’re leavin’ me behind When you’re leavin’ me behind

Abigail 04:10
I love you my sweet Abigail I hope this finds you well I’ve not a second I can spare So my story I will tell Oh Joseph when I read the words In letters that you send I pray that in this world or next I’ll see your face again We left Danville for Caroline And on to St. Louis We stopped a while to dry our bones That’s where they got to me You’d never know your son I say He’s grown up tall and right He’s got his momma’s golden hair And all his daddy’s fight We marched for weeks and months my love Straight through the driving rain I’m just as worn as this tattered flag They’ve tied around my brain The sun, it shines, upon our home Our family and our farm I’d gladly trade it all away To lie within your arms I sit beneath this old oak tree And fear I won’t return The bullet’s deep inside my chest As I watch our battle turn Easy come and easy go That’s what my father says I can’t imagine that he’s known A love quite like this I long to come back home to you And hold you in the night Where willows hold those cobbled streets And war is far from sight There’s just one thing I ask of you That’s keep me in your mind And I will think of you my dear When I leave this world behind
