Black hearted woman
Can't you see your poor man is down
I can't takehis baby
All the lonely nights I've been crying
Tired of all your separate ways
I can't take your evil lying
Black hearted woman
Trouble and pain is all you crave
Black hearted woman
Trouble and pain is all you crave
Now that I'm gone my trouble's stopped
But my truth got in my way
Yesterday I was your man
But now you don't even know my name
Yesterday I was your man
But now I don't even know your name
Got to find a new way girl
Before I get back in your game
One of these days baby
I'm gonna catch you with your back door man
I said one of these days woman
You know I'll catch you with your back door man
Keep on down the road girl
Or I'll start all over again
Another bridge I have burned
A lesson I learned
One more mistake to my cause
One more hand got lost
In a game
So I was up for awhile
Livin' in style
Feelin' high on the hog
I was down
Now some say I lost
His other soul
How barely a young man
Can sink so low
And I don't know
Don't care at all
I had a similar dream
Of my dreams while
I thought I had wandered a mile
I was wrong
Now I'm on the way up
When you reach the top
No way to go
And people just don't wanna know
When you're down
Going down
Going down, down, down, down, down
Going down
Going down, down, down, down, down
I've got my big feet in the window
My head is on the ground
Take me down
You know I crawled across the floor
Take me down
Crawled across the floor
Back to Chatanooga to see my sister once more
Come on take me down
Going down
Going down, down, down, down, down
Going down
Going down, down, down, down, down, down, down
I've got my big feet in the window
My head is on the ground
Come on, come on take me down
I'm going down
There's a paper sun
In a paper sky
There's an empty place
And I don't know why
That paper sun
In that paper sky
Can't help me now she's gone
I'm on my own
Can't help me now, I'm all alone
There's a painted moon
In a painted night
There's an empty plate
And it don't seem right
That painted moon
In that painted night
Can't help me now she's gone
I'm on my own
Can't help me now, I'm all alone
And all the pain
And all the rain that falls
Can't bring her back
She don't want me at all
There's a falling star
And it won't touch down
There's and empty face
Another lonely clown
That falling star that won't touch down
And all the pain
And all the rain that falls
Can't bring her back
She don't want me at all
And all the pain
And all the rain that falls
Can't bring her back
She don't want me at all
And all the pain
And all the rain that falls
Can't bring her back
She don't want me at all
Walking down on main street
Well, it's not the same street like before
Those drinks that I've been drinking
Were stirred not shaken, ooh it's sore
My legs have gone all weak
It's so hard for me to speak anymore
I must get home to bed
And rest my aching head, that's for sure
Driving in the country
The grass is green as it was before
Rolled up on that river
Just aingt as clean that's for sure
You know my legs have gone all weak
It's so hard for me to speak anymore
I must get home to bed
And rest my aching head, that's for sure
Going down to main street to buy some wine
Make some love with that woman of mine
Drink some wine
Love some time
Walking down on main street
Well it's not the same street like before
Those drinks that I've been drinking
Were stirred not shaken, oh it's sore
You know my legs have gone all weak
It's so hard for me to speak anymore
Well I must get home to bed
Rest my aching head and that's for sure
Said, don't it ever get lonesome?
Don't it ever get sad when you go out on the road?
No, don't it ever get lonesome?
Don't it ever get sad when you come here to Seattle
On a four day show of the tour
And you got nothing but groupies and promotors to love you
and a pile of laundry by the hotel door.
Don't it ever get lonesome?
Don't it ever make a young man blue?
Don't it ever get lonesome?
Don't it ever make a young man where he'll just wanna go back home?
When the P.A. system eats it,
And the band plays some of the most terriblest shit you've ever known
Don't you ever miss your house in the country
and your hot little mamma there?
Don't you ever miss your house in the country
and your hot little mamma there?
Don't you better get a shot when you find out what the
Road Ladies do to you.
I swear someday I aingt never,
I'm never gonna go out on the road again.
I swear someday I aingt never, never, never, never,
never, never, never, never, never, never
gonna roam the country side.
No more
I'm gonna hang up them old holiday inns, dude
and watching someone do it on the floor
Don't you ever miss your house in the country
and your hot little mamma there?
Don't you ever miss your house in the country
and your hot little mamma there?
Don't you better get a shot when you find out what the
Road Ladies do to you.
What the road ladies do to you!
Woke up this morning crawled out between the sheets
My woman was warm, kisses oh so sweet
Wanted to stay but I had to go
Headed for the factory, made myself some dough
I said greens is what I mean
Well it don't keep you warm as lovin'
But it sure pays for that fun in between
Got me some new wheels bright red fast and mean
Felt good drivin' around in that machine
Cruisin' 'round puttin' on a show
Couldn't make the payment the car just had to go
I said greens is what I mean
Well it don't keep you warm as lovin'
But it sure pays for that fun in between
Gotta make some changes, gotta get myself in gear
Thing's are gettin' heavy, I'm cuttin' out of here
Take my woman, make some speed
Don't know where I'm going but I sure know what I need
I said greens is what I mean
Well it don't keep you warm as lovin'
But it sure pays for that fun in between
Every time I call her name she's right there by my side
Every time that I think it's a change
There's no place left to hide
This must be for real
This must be for real
This must be for real
It can't be a dream
Every time I blow my love
She's knocking on my back door
Every time that I tear her clothes
She pulls me down some more
This must be for real
This must be for real
This must be for real
It can't be a dream
Scary woman put me under, under her spell
Never tell, if I risk it I ... her
There still standing, try to get my hand in
But she gets away ... one stride
Every day she comes around
Looking good and trying to catch my eye
Ain't no way to tell her no
I guess I never even thought to try
This must be for real
This must be for real
This must be for real
It can't be a dream
Every time I tie her down she wants to let me go
Every time I start to slide
She's telling me I'm a way to slow
This must be for real
This must be for real
This must be for real
It can't be a dream
I walked into a diner
And the blonde behind the counter
She asked if she could help in any way
Hell, I knew by her smile
Her number I could dial
If I was in the need of company
But as I bought some Java
Instead she brought me a cup of chicory
I got those Java blues
Coffee's got me
Java blues
Oh coffee, coffee, coffee
Java blues
Coffee's got me
Java blues
Oh coffee
You know that I'll stay high
I'll drink coffee 'till I die
Don't pour me water just fill up my cup
You know it takes a lot just to keep me up
Cost maybe more than you care to pay
What good is money compared to fighting pain
Don't try to cheat
It's impossible to beat
The only pick me up that's here to stay
I got those Java blues
Coffee's got me
Java blues
Oh coffee, coffee, coffee
Java blues
Oh coffee, oh coffee
Java blues
Coffee's got me
You know that I'll stay high
I'll drink coffee 'till I die
The taste of Java is like a cocaine rush
Nobody's gonna stop me from drinking too much
Down in Bolivia the people are insane
They want as much for coffee as they do for cocaine
Don't try to cheat
It's impossible to beat
The only pick me up that's here to stay
I got those Java blues
Coffee's got me
Java blues
Oh coffee, coffee, coffee
Java blues
The coffee's got me now
Java blues
Oh coffee, coffee
You know that I'll stay high
I'll drink coffee 'till I die
I got the Java blues
Oh coffee, coffee
Java blues
Oh coffee, coffee, coffee
Java blues
Oh the coffee's got me
Java blues
Oh coffee, oh coffee
Java Blues!
When you're on the run
Looking for a friend you can depend on
Your phone it never rung for days that
When you're on the run
Looking for a friend you can depend on
Your phone it never rung for days that
When you're on the run
When you're on the run used
Used to make a stand
Right up until the day that you were wanted
Then you had to move
'Cause you were hunted
Anywhere you hide
Tough to find a place to lay your head down
Your phone it never rung for days that
When your on the run
When you're on the run
You better keep looking behind you
When you're on the run
When you're on the run
Look out for the lies they're coming down the line
What you're gonna do if the fashion changes
Have you got a good song, can you go on
Will you be so strong you can rearrange it
Will you still have the thought to rely on
Will you cut your hair, do you dye it yellow
Are you still the right flavour to be tasted
Will you have your name in the sunday papers
Do you tell them you are straight or get wasted
Do you think about it....
I’ll bet you do
Did you ever think when you picked the front line
Are you gonna back up on your promises
Did you tell the folks you could make the changes
Are you gonna play it different than the last one
You got the address and you got the power
Are you gonna use it right or abuse it
Taking all the trust that you know you’re given
Are you gonna play the game or just lose it
Do you think about it....
I’ll bet you do
Do you have the looks, do you have the profile
Do you have your fingerprints or a record
If they come to you for some information
Looking for a secret would you sell one
Sometimes you're feeling sad and lonely
And things ain't going right for you
You're looking for somebody
So tired of being all alone
Don't throw your life away, remember
When you're down and fighting from the corner
And you feel that there's no way out
Just believe in the power deep inside of you
Hold on and things will be alright
And in the end when it's all over
You'll be the winner on the night
And in the end when it's all over
You're not the same you used to be
You know it wasn't easy
But with experience you'll see
You'll make it out if you remember
