baby rode into a red sunsetheaded for the plains on the trail westdeep into the wide open spacesshuffling her cards hoping for the best

baby drove a car like a highway junkiestopping just for coffee and cigaretteslong and winding white lined roadburning off her wheels with no time to rest

she’s a free girl cryin’she’s a free girl hidin’she’s a free girl fightin’Highway Tears

baby packed her bags full of nothingleft with just a hope for better days

tangled up in nerves and wrapped in papershe went down all those one way streets




I’ve been here since Elvis diedbet your ass I’m bona fidewhisky rockstars tingelinga bunny scream just ain’t no thingred wine for the lonesome girlssherry for your grandma’s pearlsthere’s a little bit of goldin that rainbow drink you’re holding

Cocktails Longdrinks & Goodbyes

I don’t wear no uniformloved cigars since I was bornI detect the whitest lieI can make a grown man cryrussian vodka businessmenslap the call girls now and thenkaraoke japanesenever charge their batteries

Cocktails Longdrinks & GoodbyesCocktails Longdrinks & Goodbyes

I squeeze the lemons twist the limesand wipe the counter all the time

early morning bloody maryslate night ice and cocktail cherriesI speak real good and listen wellto stories that are hard to tellbaby I’m on cruise controlliquor beer and wine’s my soul

Cocktails Longdrinks & Goodbyes

I see the world a mile awayand I’m heading the other wayeverybody’s far behindstill I can’t help but rewinddark and gloomy dreadful eyesout to sell what has no priceyeah I know the sun will risebut every now and then I cry

Cocktails Longdrinks & GoodbyesCocktails Longdrinks & GoodbyesCocktails Longdrinks & Goodbyes

I’ve been here since Elvis diedbet your ass I’m bona fide

I shoot over fields barely touching the groundI got a nose like a blood houndthe sun on my back and my nose in the dirtI picked up your scent and I know you’re hurt yeah I’m a High Grass Dogyou won’t see me comin’ you won’t hear me goHigh Grass Dogand I’m huntin’ alone

stealth of the night in the shades of greyI always enjoy surprising my preyI’m hungry for lovin’ and I’m on the prowlthere’s no escape when you hear me howl

yeah I’m a High Grass Dogyou won’t see me comin’

you won’t hear me goHigh Grass Dogand I’m huntin’ alone

I’ll feast on you baby cause love is cheapand then I’ll rock myself to sleepand when I wake up so will my greeddust will rise as I’m picking up speed

yeah I’m a High Grass Dogyou won’t see me comin’ you won’t hear me goHigh Grass DogHigh Grass Dogyeah I’m a High Grass Dogand I’m huntin’ aloneI’m a High Grass Dog

crushing time with hammer heartsbeating both our headslooking back and looking ahead

we’ve been feeding off of this long enoughI couldn’t see it thenbut I guess the Magic came to an end

I keep my dreams all to myselfcause I’m scaredI’m watching windows close and doors slam shut behind mewhile Magic takes my chair

we may never touch the blue skies but that’s not where love liesI’ll take care of you from midnight to midnight

I set my clock to when you left just to get you back guess I’m kinda sinking in the sand

every now and then my pulseruns like a jetthere are some things that I can’t forgetand I haven’t figured out why yet

I keep my dreams all to myselfcause I’m scaredI’m watching windows close and doors slam shut behind mewhile Magic takes my chair

I don’t know how much I love youbut it’s more than I can handleI guess I finally understandwhat it means to love someone all you can

crushing time with hammer heartsbeating both our headslooking back and looking ahead

baby I’m walking I’m leaving nowjust one more encore and I’ll take a bow you’re the daybreak of my life

I used to be the prince of townking of the hill with queens all aroundkisses and lipstick babies drowned

Nights Don’t Belong To UsNights Don’t Belong To UsNights Don’t Belong To Us no more

yeah my white falcon and Iused to hang them up to dieyeah they called me the spanish fly

oh the dentist gave inthe talk show host had a sexy twinnothing to lose and nothing to win

Nights Don’t Belong To UsNights Don’t Belong To UsNights Don’t Belong To Us no moreNights Don’t Belong To UsNights Don’t Belong To UsNights Don’t Belong To Us no more - no more

stallions don’t lock the stable doorbut they can’t ride me anymorelet the dead ringer go to warthrust ahead I’m all yours

Nights Don’t Belong To UsNights Don’t Belong To UsNights Don’t Belong To Us no moreNights Don’t Belong To UsNights Don’t Belong To UsNights Don’t Belong To Us no more - no more

yeah I’ve passed through asphalt jungleswith the alpha bravo guidesI’ve seen the lonely office lightson the midnight skyline

yeah I’ve met some oily motorswith a thousand online friendsI had ways to get back homebut I’m sustaining ‘till the end

I got a drum beat babyI got a loud guitar I got a restless heartwith a Neon Scar

there’s a sound of great misfortunein the echoes of the rats they say it’s close to Paradiseonly there’s no welcome mat

there’s a huge Hell of successin the white smiles of the dragsthey say it’s all but pride and gloryinside their body bags

I got a drum beat babyI got a loud guitar I got a restless heartwith a Neon Scar

there’s a clown in every big macand a joker on tvI’m an anvil in the oceanbaby dive and rescue me

I got a drum beat babyI got a loud guitarI got a restless heartwith a Neon Scar

yeah I got a drum beat babyI got a loud guitarI got a restless heartwith a Neon ScarI got a restless heartwith a Neon Scar

baby dropped me to the floorI was rolling like a coinand I thought I’d roll foreverbut I don’t roll anymore

I painted the blue notes bright and redscared off my sore throat with cigarettesand my carnival of friends said someday you’ll love again

God Help Me - If I Can’t Love AgainGod only Help Me - If I Can’t Love Again

I don’t know a scarecrow like you or meempty - make believeand I’ve scared myself to deathby what I need to feel free


I’m tuning in on all of my breathsmaybe that means I’m a messbut I’ve got my share of heartbeats and my life will be my death


yeah I’ve got my share of heartbeats and this life will be my death

northern lights - here comes another winterand the sun set for the last time this yearbut I’ll be here for as longas there are diamonds in Russiaand as long as you will wear my diamond ring

and now I’m all kinds - All Kinds Of Blue

she’d go left andI’d go rightput out the fuses she’d igniteand the pain lasted for so longI guess it’s nothing but a big ball of wrong

yeah I’m all kinds - all kinds yeah I’m all kinds - All Kinds Of Blue

all mascara and glitterin the world couldn’t cover that upfunny how you don’t seem bitterno I don’t need a close up

when all the black days of thunderare tearing up your smileand you seem to buckle underbullshit aside - that Black Eye don’t lie

not all good things lasts foreverand it takes forever to shine onall you see from the bottomis light fading out from the top

and when the getaway car ain’t workingand a blind old dog is your guidewhen the moon never rises and the sun never setsit just doesn’t slide - that Black Eye don’t lie

I’ll keep banging my head up against the wallI really don’t know what to sayI can only help you so much

when all the black days of thunderare tearing up your smilewhen you seem to buckle underbullshit aside - that Black Eye don’t lie

and when the getaway car ain’t workingand a blind old dog is your guidewhen the moon never rises and the sun never setsit just doesn’t slide - that Black Eye don’t lie sister don’t you cry - just try to get by

baby - the Word On The Streetis that them hot coals don’t burn your feetand I am fixing to walk them myselfbaby someday when I’m dust on the shelf

I’ve been lying the best that I canand I’ve been crying as hard as a manand I have broken and shattered my heartfallen - with no end or start

baby - all the lonely girlscaught in this seashell like pearlsif you shake it - shake it just a littleand hold it to your ear you can hear them all scream

and I can’t find no rhythmI’m too blue to be jazzing things upI have broken and shattered my heartfallen - with no end or start

baby - all the lonely girlscaught in this seashell like pearlsif you shake it - shake it just a littleand hold it to your ear you can hear them all scream

baby - the Word On The Streetis that them hot coals don’t burn your feetand I’m fixing to walk them myselfbaby someday when I’m dust on the shelf

I’m a silent crier babyI’m a deep blue feeler toobut you always see things comingif I lie you know what’s true

I’m a contradicter honeyI’m a hopeless hoper tooand you point in the right directionssaying things’ll get better soon

who gave you that Crystal Ballseeing as you see it allwho gave you that Crystal BallCrystal Ball

I’m a dreamer dreaming dreamsI’m a wild one loving youand you know when a fight’s worth fightingand when to call a truce



white flag wedding dress flew incarried memories of sinlonesome good hearted handsgave her life and saved her skin

prairie winds would come and gomade her grey hair growon the last day of fallthere was blood in the snow

dancing in the Prairie Sunbarefoot on a smoking gundancing in the Prairie Sunafraid of no one

there was no one she could trustin her cloud of dustthere’s a ghost in the airwith only one dress to wear


dancing in the Prairie Sundancing in the Prairie Sundancing in the Prairie Sundancing in the Prairie Sun


and she’s dancin’

dancing in the Prairie Sundancing in the Prairie Sun
