LUCKY

The sun shines in the window

I watch it catch your hair

I roll over in comfort

Just knowin' that you're there

 

Each morning I count my blessings

Can't believe they all came true

How'd I get so lucky

To have The Yukon, Jack and you

 

The poets tell their stories

About love and all it's pain

Our friends they couldn't stand it

They showed nothing but disdain

 

What good are those friendships

I'm glad they all are through

All I've ever needed

Is The Yukon, Jack and you

 

In unfaithful movies and on the radio

It seems the more you suffer

The less you need to know

 

I even asked the preacher

He didn't have a clue

Just why I deserve them

The Yukon, Jack and you

 

YOU AIN'T NEVER HAD A LOVER LIKE ME

Well I'm dreamin'

Dreamin' like so many times before

Dreamin' that you just walked out the door

Dreamin' you don't love me anymore

Oh I just gotta dream dear lady

 

I'm a-thinking

Thinking hard in this time of war

Thinking I might go back out for more

Thinking that my thoughts just hit the floor

Oh I just gotta think dear lady

 

Can't you see I'm here without fail

Come rain or snow or sleet or even hail

You ain't never had a lover like me

And won't again 'tis very likely

 

I'm wandering

I'll wander this earth 'till I die

I'll wander and pray to the sky

I'll wander and I'll get hi

And I just gotta wander dear lady

 

You'll live forever in my heart

Like it or not we'll never part

You ain't never had a lover like me

And won't again 'tis very likely

 

ANYMORE

Only so much you can say

And so little you can do

I understand come what may

But I'll be there to see you through

 

(CHORUS)

Let's spend some time together

And make it last forever

Let's turn the music up

Re-fill everyone's cup

So much more to survive

And everyone's too drunk to drive

Wait a minute don't you walk out that door

I can't take it anymore

 

It's hard to turn a blind eye

To the one you really wanna hold

Oh baby it ain't no lie

An hour with you makes the night less cold

REPEAT CHORUS

Only so much you can say

To the one you really wanna hold

Oh baby it ain't no lie

An hour with you makes the night less cold

REPEAT CHORUS

 

AIN'T NO JOY IN LIVIN'

You get mad at everything I do

Yet no other love could be this true

It hurts me bad and it cuts me at my core

There ain't no joy in living anymore

 

It wasn't like this at the start

Now you can't hide your jealous heart

What other tricks have you got in store

Cause there ain't no joy in living anymore

 

The papers wet from crying tears

With no way to soothe your endless fears

We can't go back to how it was before

And there ain't no joy in living anymore

 

You get mad at everything I do

Yet no other love would be this true

It hurts me bad it cuts me to the core

And there ain't no joy in living anymore

 

THE ANGEL OF MY HEART

Sometimes a flicker of her smile

And the beauty of her mind

Is worth more than all of the gold and the oil

In this world combined

 

In life we dance this crazy dream

In which we all play a part

n' I'm glad to share every second with you

The angel of my heart

 

Few folks know a woman's worth

And it drives us good men mad

When right after the pleasures on earth

Are the best things we ever had

 

Don't lose faith, don't lose light

For once you better act smart

You must cherish every moment

With the angel of yer heart

 

You know I love the way our life

Just seems to fall into place

You must of entered my life

By some kind of saving grace

 

Why it happened, we don't know

But we're both glad we did start

And every minute with you

Is a dream come true

The angel of my heart

 

TURN TO ME

Turn to me when you're feelin' weak

Turn to me when you're on a losin' streak

Turn to me when all hope is fadin'

It's a love that's radiatin'

Turn to me, ah baby, turn to me

 

Turn to me in your time of woe

Turn to me wherever you may go

Turn to me when the night gets dark

Turn to me and we'll make it spark

Turn to me, ah now baby, turn to me

 

Turn to me when you are at my gate

Turn to me don't you know it's not too late

Turn to me and away from fears

Turn to me and forget your tears

Turn to me, ah baby, turn to me

 

A ROSE ON DIRTY GROUND

The chilly winds are blowin' around my cabin door

The whiskey jacks echo her I don't love you anymore

The sky grows bitter grey and there ain't no holy sound

Well there's nothing sadder than a rose on dirty ground

 

The rose of my heart has taken to the street

Spending most her time off her pretty little feet

Late at night alone my head it starts to pound

For there's nothing sadder than a rose on dirty ground

 

It's the same old story that you always knew

But now the day has come and it's happening to you

Is it really lost love if there's no love to be found

Yet there's nothing sadder than my rose on dirty ground

 

'TILL NEXT TIME

When you think that you got troubles you don't know the half of it

Come find me in the rubble where you used to sit

And tell me a story, oh can you make me see

There's no place that I'm goin' there's nowhere else I'd rather be

 

I ain't your whole world but you ain't mine

Don't worry 'bout me baby I'll find the rhyme

You got freedom and I got mine

Don't worry 'bout it baby 'till next time

 

In the end there is no winner when everything is lost

Watch your walls gettin' thinner as you're counting up the cost

Is this what you fancy it's a taste so foreign to me

There's nothing left to find here but insanity

 

I ain't your whole world and you ain't mine

Don't worry 'bout it baby we'll be fine

I got some whiskey and you got some wine

Don't worry 'bout it baby 'till next time

 

It's all fadin' so fast

Like a dream that you never could catch

I knew it couldn't last

There's you and me then there's a reality

That will never match

 

You mighta gave your body but there was never any soul

There is no ecstasy when all the parts ain't whole

And who am I to judge you cause judgement is for fools

But I guess by now you know me

And I ain't never played by the rules

 

I ain't your whole world and you ain't mine

Don't worry 'bout it baby I'll find the rhyme

You got your freedom and I've got mine

Don't worry 'bout it baby 'till next time

 

WHAT WILL IT TAKE

Oh lordy what will it take

What pain must come before I break

I know that I'll soon be wide awake

Oh lordy lordy what will it take

 

Oh lord what will it take

Seems all my love you forsake

How come you don't act on the feelings you make

Oh lordy lordy what will it take

 

You will try and you'll cry and hope that I sigh

For a love that never really did take

And I know that you, you really think it too

It's all a big mistake

 

Oh lordy, lordy what will it take

What pain must come before I break

And I know soon I'll be wide awake

Oh lordy, lordy what will it take

 

Oh lordy, lordy what will it take

When it seems all my love you forsake

How long till you act on the feelings that you make

Oh lordy, lordy what will it take

 

THE MAN YOU NEVER CAUGHT

A bible in his glovebox

Pills tucked 'neath the seat

He went and made his way out west

Through the desert heat

Liquor served him well

There was little else he bought

He was a musical fugitive

He's the man you never caught X2

 

He even sang in prison

Before they got hip to it

Record sales were slowin' down

And it might be time to quit

But the girls they came to quickly

Unwrapping layers of his thought

I can't forget to forgive

The man you never caught

 

Yet it took one woman

Just as messed as he

To show that true love conquers

Life's little miseries

And I thank him for the spirit

In the songs of which he taught

For 1,000 years of culture fell

From the man you never caught X2

 

People say his body sang out like a hymn

Others say that death has made a fool out of him

Call him any name you want

I miss him quite a lot

Thank God I got some records of the man you never caught

Thank God I have some records of

The man you never caught

 

WALKIN' OUT

I watch them all walk out of my life

They got the memories I got the strife

Another song and another wife

I watch them walk out of my life

 

Well my mind it circles on you

A one way street I know it's true

Tell me what can a poor boy do

When my mind it keeps circlin' back round to you

 

I watch you walk out of my life

I've got the memories and I've got the strife

Go on and run somebody's life

I've got the memories and they're causing strife

 

I watch that ol' freight train go by

But it ain't run in so long and I wonder why

How long will you deny

This sacred heart that you crucify

REPEAT 1ST VERSE

 

'TIS A SIGN OF ALL GOOD THINGS TO COME

The road can get heavy but you're fighting back your tears

'Tis a sign of all good things to come

Time flies by as you're rackin' up the years

'Tis a sign of all good things to come

 

Frayed and scattered you've been beaten by the wind

'Tis a sign of all good things to come

Every dream that you know has ever been

'Tis a sign of all good things to come

 

Betrayed by trouble and the walls are closin' in

'Tis a sign of all good things to come

You lose some battles but the war I know you'll win

'Tis a sign of all good things to come

 

Hounded by the heartache you thought would never last

'Tis a sign of all good things to come

All the poster lovers that are laying in your past

 

All the faded portraits that have littered your past

'Tis a sign of all good things to come

Parted by circumstance I know there's one thing that's true

'Tis a sign of all good things to come

 

You've been the crying shoulder to everybody's fears

'Tis a sign of all good things to come

You got caught in the their machine as it shifted gears

'Tis a sign of all good things to come

 

WHEN IT COMES TO LOVIN'

When I hit a hard road

She's always there for me

And when it comes to lovin'

She does the dirty part for free

 

Well I knew when I first met her

Oh there might be something special there

From the twinkling of her eyes

To the dirty blonde of her hair

There was no hesitating

Ol' Jimi can attest to that

And by morning we both were flying

Never caring where we were at

 

Now it's been some time dear

And every struggle we endure

Seems to hold us tighter together

Ya love seems to be the cure

Well I don't know where I'm goin'

But I'll be heading there with you

Let the bells ring out o'er the city

So you can dance the way you do

 

When we both get grey and old

Don't give me no rockin' chair

Just take me in your arms

And hold me forever there

And if I leave this ol' world behind

Take me with you on your ride

For one day we'll meet again

On the sunny shores of life's other side

 

When I hit a hard road

She's always there for me

And when it comes to lovin'

She does the dirty part for free

When I'm lost in darkness

She sheds her light on me

And when it comes to lovin'

She does the dirty part for free
