THE LAND OF GOLD

I met a gal about 5 feet tall

Gave her a little and she took it all

She robbed me of my best when my heart she stole

Let me tell you 'bout that gal in the land of gold

I looked at her she looked at me

We took comfort in each other's misery

I wasn't too hot but she wasn't too cold

We spent that night together in the land of gold

Well whose to say we shall cross paths again

Maybe we will in the prairie rain

Someday down the road when we're both grey and old

We'll recall that summer night spent in the land of gold

If she sees me around I hope she stops and says hi

She don't treat me like a stranger and just pass me by

Now my stories done all the facts are told

I left that little gal shinin' just like gold

CAN'T AFFORD NO HOME

Can't afford no home X3

Hear that train whistle blow X3

Well away I go X3

Can't afford no home X3

I ain't got no woman X2

Ain't nobody got me

I ain't got no love X2

Gonna die with no love

Can't afford no home X5

Hear that train whistle blow X3

And away I go X3

Till I'm gone

AIN'T NOTHING LEFT (HERE FOR YOU)

You're lookin' around

For a patch of solid ground on which to stand

You can't recognize

Why everyone's eyes are in their hands

I got so little time to do what I know I gotta do

And there ain't nothing left here for you X3

The smoke in the sky

Surrounds me as I venture near

I must keep it in mind

But leave it behind to disappear

I got so little time to do what I know I gotta do

And there ain't nothing left here for you X3

But I made me a vow

To never allow myself to quit

I'll just leave it to fate

So the fire I create stays lit

I got so little time to do what I know I gotta do

And there ain't nothing left here for you X3

LAW OF THE LAND

Well the earth has been here since forever

Lettin' us do to her as we please

We make ourselves a town and lay a highway down

Thinkin' now we got a life of ease

But when old man winter comes-a-calling

You better bundle up toe to head

Cause he don't care if he caught you unaware

Cause old man winter will leave you dead

And I'm not saying nature's cruel

It just lives outside the laws of man

It don't judge you by your race

Your clothes, your sex, your face

It's just the law of the land
