If I Thought She'd Be There Alone 03:28
lyrics

If I thought she'd be there alone Standin' on a windy corner Trying' to make believe I care Waitin' for the light to say come over As if it's any different over there Gazing at a jet airliner Contrails through the autumn sky Heading off to somewhere finer Buyin' into someone else's lie Instead of tripping down the main line Wish I was headed home I'd stop and see her maybe sometime If I thought she'd be there alone Walkin' through some scattered raindrops Wishin' I was warm and dry Sheltered in a burned-out bus stop Hopin' it'll all just pass me by Instead of tripping down the main line Wish I was headed home I'd stop and see her maybe sometime If I thought she'd be there alone Aimless like the dead leaves all wind swept Scattered 'cross the pavement gray Swirlin' like some promises unkept Watchin' hope just flutter away

I'm Goin' Home 04:30

I figured I could make it 'cause I could write a song And if I worked it hard enough It won't take long But this grim town consumes you Chews you up cold And spits you out to wander on Down Drubbing Row So goodbye, goodbye, goodbye I'm goin' home Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye I've been here too long There's a sleepy town waiting for a fool who's still unknown So goodbye, goodbye, goodbye I'm goin' home She told me that she loved me Said I should settle down Instead of chasing thimble rig Around this town But me I knew better And I knew she would wait She said she had her life to lead I left her anyway So goodbye, goodbye, goodbye I'm goin' home Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye I've been here too long There's a sleepy town waiting for a fool who's still unknown So goodbye, goodbye, goodbye I'm goin' home Last time that I wrote her I vowed to quit this game But on her terse reply She'd signed a stranger's name I know I'm lost without her Like I've been all along I knew right at that moment I'd written my last song So goodbye, goodbye, goodbye I'm goin' home Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye I've been here too long There's a sleepy town waiting for a fool who's still unknown So goodbye, goodbye, goodbye I'm goin' home Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye I'm goin' home I'm goin' home Goin' home Goin' home I'm goin' home

Always 02:55

Baby I'm in love Baby I'm in love with you And I know you're in love And I know that you love me too You and me in love forever You and I will be together always When I think of strength I think about the way that you love me You and I have love As strong as any love could ever be You and me in love forever You and I will be together always And when some Romeo says boy you could'a been like me I flit from one to next I am footloose and free I just think about you dreaming sweetly next to me in bed And I thank the Lord I had the sense to marry you instead Baby when I'm old It'll keep me young to be in love with you And when young lovers search For a model love they'll look to me and you They'll say those two have loved forever Those old folks have been together always You and me in love forever You and I will be together always Always Always

Endlessly 03:38
lyrics
buy track
Don't want no roadside shrine Nailed to some dark tree Just spread my ashes to the wind And let my poor soul be Then console my lovely wife And tell her once for me I love her more than life itself I love her endlessly I've broken more commandments Then I found strength to keep I've worried my dear mother And gave her cause to weep I pray that in the balance I've brought more joy than grief And those I've hurt Will know that I Have loved them endlessly I've watched my grey-haired parents Work it to the bone They built a house With bare hands And then they built a home I blamed them for some problems That surely came from me And through it all I know that they Have loved me endlessly

Push Away 02:49
lyrics

Woman you're growing up And it appears that one might say that you have had enough You can't abide a single word I say And your solution is to push away Maybe well it's a funny thing But I ain't quite as simple as you might think You think you got it all figured out I must admit now I got my doubts Baby I love you so I spent some good years working up to letting you go And now the time arrives before its day I can but watch while you push away You lay there upon your bed I just marvel at the cogitations in your head You say if it's supposed to be Then it'll happen while you're drifting free Baby I love you so I spent some good years working up to letting you go And now the time arrives before its day I can but watch while you push away Baby I wish you could see You could still learn a few tricks from me I sense your future 'cause I've seen my past And that's a place I don't want you to be Baby I love you so I spent some good years working up to letting you go And now the time arrives before its day I can but watch while you push away I would never say these things It wouldn't matter if you didn't mean so much to me Maybe you will understand one day And you'll no longer have to push away Baby I love you so I spent some good years working up to letting you go And now the time arrives before its day I can but watch while you push away I can but watch while you push away I can but watch while you push away

I don't want to feel like this I don't want to hurt like this I don't want to think of this I don't want to go through this I don't want to part with this I don't want to lose all this I don't want to give you this I don't want to bleed like this They don't have to go like this They don't have to own all this They don't have to fall like this They don't have to die You don't have to cry like this You don't have to feel all this You don't have to deal with this 'Cause you ain't got no skin in this

Far Away Home 06:33
lyrics

I have let cool the passion with which poor men fight To be far away, far away, far away home Far away from the cold fields where they lose their lives I am safely and far away home I have let go the struggles which cause only strife To be far away, far away, far away home I have fought the temptations which rule a man's life I am glad to be far away home Chorus For it is here on these green fields where I find my rest And the love of sweet Becky asleep on my breast And the sun bathing hillside which now I oft roam Keeps me well and remembering I'm far away home I've suppressed the ambitions which cloud young men's site And come far away, far away far away home I have passed up the glory I would have if I might I'm content to be far away home

Here is a sunny day Here is a hand to guide your way And here is a smile that you can have to keep you warm Here is a brilliant bright blue sky One lazy cloud just drifting by These are the days these are the days that keep us young Wake up embrace the day And all the good things that'll come our way Bask in the glow that keeps us warm This is the perfect way to live This is the top the best there is And these are the days these are the days that keep us young

It's a long time A long time gone It's a long time A long time gone It's a long time A long time gone It's a good way To get hurt It's a good way To get hurt It's a long time A long time gone It's a long way A long way back It's a long way A long way back It's a long time A long time gone With the past far behind us The future shrouded still ahead Let's not worry on the things already done Let's keep pushing on instead It's a hard row Left to hoe It's a hard row Left to hoe It's a long time A long time gone It's a good day To begin It's a good day To begin It's a long time A long time gone It's a long time A long time gone

We Lust for Oil 04:30
lyrics

Fly into LA on a clear winter's night You'll comprehend our obsession with light Lights stringing out for mile after mile Trying to repel the night We lust for oil We lust for oil We lust for oil like it's some God-given right We lust for oil We lust for oil One day we'll wake up to regret how we lust for oil How many angels can we cram into this space From way up here you cannot find one dark place What is the impact of all of this drive What cost for winning the race We lust for oil We lust for oil We lust for oil like it's some God-given right We lust for oil We lust for oil One day we'll wake up to regret how we lust for oil Orderly grids turn night into day Cars zipping through like rats in a maze Blocks of street lights define neighborhoods Headlights paint freeways up like snakes We lust for oil We lust for oil We lust for oil like it's some God-given right We lust for oil We lust for oil One day we'll wake up to regret how we lust for oil We lust for oil We lust for oil We lust for oil
