Trouble
Trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble
Trouble been doggin’ my soul since
The day i was born

Worry will not seem to

Saved by a woman

Saved by a woman

She wont let me go

She wont let me go now, now

Trouble
Oh, trouble, trouble, trouble, trouble
Feels like every time i get back on my feet
She come around and knock me down again

Sometimes, I swear, it feels
like this worry is only my friend

Saved by a woman

I guess you don’t need it
I guess you don’t want me to repeat it
But everything I have to give
I’ll give to you

It’s not like we planned it
You tried to stay, but you could not stand it
To see me shut down slow as though
It was an easy thing to do

Listen when all of this around us will fall over
I tell you what we’re gonna do
Hey
You will shelter me, my love
And I, I will shelter you, oh
I will shelter you

I left you heartbroken
But not until those very words were spoken
Has anybody ever made such a fool outta you
It’s hard to believe it

Even as my eyes do see it
The very things that made you live,
They’re killing you

Listen when all of this around us will fall over
I tell you what we’re gonna do
Hey
You will shelter me, my love
And I, I will shelter you

I will shelter you
I will shelter you
I will shelter you
I will shelter you

Listen when all of this around us will fall over
I tell you what we’re gonna do
Hey
You will shelter me, my love
And I, I will shelter you
If you shelter me, too

I will shelter you
I will shelter you

‍

When you came to me
With your bad dreams and your fears
It was easy to see you'd been crying

Seems like everywhere you turn
Catastrophe it reigns
But who really profits from the dying?

I could hold you in my arms
I could hold you forever
And I could hold you in my arms
Oh I could hold you forever

When you kissed my lips
With my mouth so full of questions
My worried mind that you quiet

Place your hands on my face
Close my eyes and say
That love is a poor man's food
Don't prophesize

I could hold you in my arms
I could hold you forever
And I could hold you in my arms
Oh I could hold you forever

So now we see how it is
This fist begets the spear
Weapons of war
Symptoms of madness

Don't let your eyes refuse to see
Don't let your ears refuse to hear
Or you ain't never going to shake
This sense of sadness

I could hold you in my arms
I could hold on forever
And I could hold you in my arms
Oh I could hold on forever

‍

Lejos and Mary
Lay dazed in Liula
Dreaming of tropical signs
As Lejos lay sleeping
She knelt over him weeping
Feeling the weight of his crimes

It seems he cut a man down in a Tennessee town
And he's just licking his wounds for a spell
But it won't take long for the boys to catch on
And soon he'll be running like hell

Run Lejos run
This ain't no time for that ball and chain
Run Lejos run
Climb on that pony and ride like you never done
Ride like you never done

Well their love it was long
It was gentle and strong
And for a while she forgot his sins
And she kissed him for love
She kissed him for luck
She kissed him one time for a kid

Well they came in without a warning in the hours before morning
They come-a blasting through the windows and walls
And when the smoke it did clear
somebody cried out he ain't here
Killed ourselves a woman that's all

Run Lejos run
This ain't no time for that ball and chain
Run Lejos run
Climb on that pony and ride like you never done
Ride like you never done

‍

Oh mama don't walk away
I'm a goddamn sore loser
I ain't too proud to say
That I'm still thinking 'bout you
And I'm so lonesome without you
And I can't get you out of my mind

Oh mama don't leave me alone
With my soul shut down so tight
Just like a stone cold tomb
Ain't it clear when I'm near you
I'm just dying to hear you
Calling my name one more time

Oh so don't pay no mind
To my watering eyes
Must be something in the air
That I'm breathing

Yes and try to ignore
All this blood on the floor
It's just this heart on my sleeve that's bleeding

Oh mama don't walk away
You leave me here bereaving
From the words so hard and plain
Saying the love that we had
Was just selfish and sad
Yes but to see you now with him
Is just making me mad
Oh so kiss him again
Just to prove to me that you can
I will stand here
And burn in my skin
Yes I will stand here
And burn in my skin

‍

Who am I to tell her
Who am I to play god
Who am I to think I can go it alone
Something tells me girl this is bringing you down
Something tells me this is bringing me down

We've been through some changes
Always seem to hold on
Lately it feel like you can't take anymore
Something tells me girl this is bringing you down
Something tells me girl this is bringing you down

Forever my friend
Forever my love
Forever the woman that I'm thinking of
I just think if we keep our hearts together
Just think if we build on this trust that we have for one another
Baby we can make this last a lifetime

Who am I to tell her
Who am I to play god
I don't know just what's for real anymore
Something tells me girl this is bringing you down
Something tells me girl this is bringing you down

Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right
Maybe it's the last thing you want to hear me say
I just think if we keep out hearts together
I just think if we build on this trust that we have for one another
Maybe we can make this last a lifetime

Forever my friend
Forever my love
Forever the woman
That I'm thinking of
I just think if we keep our hearts together
I just think if we will build on this trust that we have for one another
Maybe we can make this last a lifetime

I lost all of my vanity
When I peered into the pool
I lost all of my innocence
When I fell in love with you
I never knew a man fall so far until I landed here
Where all of my wounds they turn into gold, when I kissed your hair

Now come to me Hannah
Hannah won't you to come on to me
And I'll lay down this bottle of wine
If you just be kind to me

Ask her why she cries so loud
Will not say a word
Eyes like ice and hands that shake
She takes what she deserves
To celebrate her emptiness
A cold and lonely room
You sweep the floor with your long flowered dress
If you cannot find a broom

Now come to me Hannah
Hannah won't you to come on to me
And I'll lay down this bottle of wine
You just be kind to me

She's got hair that flows right down
Right down to the backs of her knees
Papa he was a preaching man
And the Lord is hard to please
So she comes down from the Ozark hills to these very streets to roam
With a banjo and a bible and a fine tooth comb

Now come to me Hannah
Hannah won't you come on to me
And I'll lay down this bottle of wine
You just be kind to me

Now I'd walk one mile on just broken glass
To fall down at your feet
Mmm Hannah you're the queen of the street

I climb the tree with my Hannahlee
My intentions they were pure
Oh the breeze did whip and I lost my grip
And I tumbled towards the earth
Where you never would guess who it was that stood below
And his name I would never tell
But His eyes were clear
And His arms were strong
And he caught me as I fell

Now come to me Hannah
Hannah won't you to come on to me
And I'll lay down this bottle of wine
You just be kind to me

Now I'd walk one mile on just broken glass
To fall down at your feet
Mmm Hannah you're the queen of the street
The queen of the street

‍

People on the street now
Faces long and grim
Souls are feeling heavy
And faith is growing thin

Fears are getting stronger
You can Feel them on the rise
Hopelessness got some by the throat
You can see it in their eyes

I said how come
How come

Everybody on a shoestring
Everybody in a hole
Everybody crossing their fingers and toes

Government man spin his politics till he got you pinned
Everybody trying to reach out to each other
But they don't know where to begin

I said how come
I can't tell
The free world
From living hell
I said how come

How come
All I see
Is a child of god in misery
I said how come

The pistol now as profit
The bullet some kind of lord and king
But pain is the only promise
That this so called savior is going to bring

Love can be a liar
And justice can be a thief
And freedom can be an empty cup
From which everybody want to drink

I said how come
I can't tell
The free world
From living hell
I said how come

How come
All I see
Is a child of god in misery
I said how come

It's just man killing man
Killing man killing man killing man
I don't understand it

It's just man killing man
Killing man killing man killing man
I don't understand it

It's just man killing man
Killing man killing man killing man
Killing man killing man killing man
Killing man killing man

I don't understand it
I don't understand it
I don't understand it
I don't understand it

How come
I said how come
How come
I said how come

‍

Cocaine flame in my bloodstream
Sold my coat when I hit Spokane
Bought myself a hard pack of cigarettes
In the early morning rain

Lately, my hands, they don't feel like mine
My eyes been stung with dust, I'm blind
Held you in my arms one time
Lost you just the same

Jolene
I ain't about to go straight
It's too late

I found myself face down in the ditch
Booze on my hair
Blood on my lips
A picture of you holding a picture of me
In the pocket of my blue jeans

Still don't know what love means
Still don't know what love means

Jolene
Ah, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
Jolene

Been so long since I seen your face
Or felt a part of this human race
I've been living out of this here suitcase
For way too long

A man needs something he can hold on to
A nine pound hammer or a woman like you
Either one of them things will do

Jolene
I ain't about to go straight
It's too late

I found myself face down in the ditch
Booze in my hair
Blood on my lips
A picture of you holding a picture of me
In the pocket of my blue jeans

Still don't know what love means
Still don't know what love means

Jolene
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
Jolene
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
Jolene

All the wild horses
All the wild horses
Tethered with tears in their eyes
May no man's touch ever tame
May no man's reigns ever chain you
And may no man's weight ever lay freight your soul

And as for the clouds
Just let them roll
Roll away, roll away

As for the clouds
Just let them roll
Roll away, roll away
