She lit a burner on the stove and offered me a pipe; "I thought you'd never say hello," she said; "You look like the silent type."
If you want to live easy
Baby pack your clothes with mine
Are you looking at me and thinking of somebody else?
Today on the countryside it was a-hotter than a crotch
All I really want to do,; Is, baby, be friends with you.
I believe in the impossible, you know that I do
I know God is my shield and he won't lead me astray
An' here I sit so patiently; Waiting to find out what price; You have to pay to get out of; Going through all these things twice.
Boys in the street beginning to play; Girls like birds flying away
Where black is the color, where none is the number
to live outside the law, you must be honest
Ain't no reason to go anywhere.
And, when I was through; I filled up my shoe; And brought it to you.
You can't get to glory by the raising and the lowering of no flag.; Put your goodness next to God's and it comes out like a filthy rag.
When I met you, baby,; You didn't show no visible scars.
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it
If I had wings and I could fly,; I know where I would go.
When we meet again; Introduced as friends; Please don't let on that you knew me when; I was hungry and it was your world.
I'll remember you; When the wind blows through the piney wood.
If you want somebody you can trust, trust yourself.
Once I had mountains in the palm of my hand,; And rivers that ran through ev'ry day.
Lot of water under the bridge, Lot of other stuff too; Don't get up gentlemen, I'm only passing through
Maybe they'll get me and maybe they won't; But not tonight and it won't be here; There are things I could say but I don't; I know the mercy of God must be near
I ain't lookin' for you to feel like me,; See like me or be like me.
They tell me everything is gonna be all right; But I don't know what "all right" even means
False-hearted judges dying in the webs that they spin,; Only a matter of time 'til night comes steppin' in.
She still lives inside of me, we've never been apart.
Drinkin' man listens to the voice he hears; In a crowded room full of covered up mirrors; Lookin' into the lost forgotten years; For dignity
Never could learn to drink that blood; And call it wine
Now, a very great man once said; That some people rob you with a fountain pen.; It didn't take too long to find out; Just what he was talkin' about.
Somethin' there is about you that I can't quite put my finger on.
Democracy don't rule the world,; You'd better get that in your head.; This world is ruled by violence; But I guess that's better left unsaid.
I like the cool way you look at me,; Everything about you is bringing me; Misery.
You're the other half of what I am, you're the missing piece
Well, anybody can be just like me, obviously; But then, now again, not too many can be like you, fortunately.
We always did feel the same,; We just saw it from a different point of view
Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory
In the home of the brave, Jefferson turnin' over in his grave
Can't you hear that motor turnin'?; Automobile comin' into style
Gon' walk on down until I'm right beside the sun; I'm gonna have to put up a barrier to keep myself away from everyone.
There's some people that; You don't forget,; Even though you've only seen'm; One time or two.
Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues; You can tell by the way she smiles
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go; To the valley below
