Blue Wire 02:32
Blue Wire Ticking clock, never stops No time to waste, but nowhere to be now It's just me now Lie awake, night turns to day the rising sun no friend to me now It's just me now She's not answering my call Maybe she's not there at all Or maybe she knows what I'm thinking Ticking clock, never stops I'm like a bomb waiting to go off When will I go off Ticking clock, can't be stopped Do I cut the red wire or the blue wire It's always the blue wire She's not answering my call Maybe she's not there at all Or maybe she knows what I'm thinking She's not answering my call Maybe she's not there at all Or maybe she knows what I'm thinking Ticking clock, never stops No time to waste, but nowhere to be now It's just me now

Radio 03:46
Radio I want to go back where we used to be Where I loved you and you loved me And nothing came between us - Damn these heavy things Our once upon a time has lost the shimmer and the shine Out of sight and out of mind - What have we left behind Time stands still when we listen to the radio The world rolls on by, well maybe we should let it go Then I hear your favorite song playing on the radio C'mon let's dance real slow - Let me rock your gypsy soul If I was a blind man, your love would see me through If I was a wise man, my love would always be true If I was a rich man, I'd buy you everything money can buy But I am a poor man, and we're just getting by I don't know why you're still here, these days fade into years Everything between us hang so heavy in the air If we could get away from here, I would take you there, my dear Above the clouds, the sky is clear and the real world disappears Time stands still when we listen to the radio The world rolls on by, well maybe we should let it go Then I hear your favorite song playing on the radio C'mon let's dance real slow - Let me rock your gypsy soul If I was a blind man, your love would see me through If I was a wise man, my love would always be true If I was a rich man, I'd buy you everything money can buy But I am a poor man, and we're just getting by Time stands still when we listen to the radio The world rolls on by, well maybe we should let it go Then I hear your favorite song playing on the radio C'mon let's dance real slow - Let me rock your gypsy soul I want to go back where we used to be Where I loved you and you loved me And nothing came between us - Damn these heavy things

Ohio Dream 02:35
Ohio Dream I dreamed I was a fisherman I drove all day and fished on land My boat was a Volkswagen van I'm not much of a fisherman I think I was a preacher man Though I never spoke to child nor man People came just to touch my hands They spoke in tongues, I didn’t understand I didn’t understand They said I was in Ohio How I got there I don't know There must have been three feet of snow God, I hate Ohio Ohio, Ohio When I woke up the work was done Fish were caught and the souls were won I said goodbye and it’s been fun and headed south to a warmer sun, a warmer sun Said goodbye to Ohio, Ohio, Ohio

Cold Blood 03:37
Cold Blood She shot me down in cold blood It's just one of those deals and I have come to the point of understanding, how she feels She said - Don't turn away from me, Don't walk away from Don't change the subject on me Proclaim your innocence to God and Government Like some captured nobility You can beg and you can plead, It don't mean nothing to me She shot me down in cold blood It's just one of those deals and I have come to the point of understanding how she feels She said - Look me in the eyes, You might not recognize The face you've known for all these years The things you've done to me, I'm not who I used to be and It's been a long time coming, dear So goodnight and good-bye, You don't mean nothing to me In a different life, she's still a blushing bride on a perfect June wedding day She looks at her blood-stained hands, still tries to understand She falls to her knees and prays, Hallelujah, Amen He can't do nothing to me She shot me down in cold blood It's just one of those deals and I have come to the point of understanding, how she feels I have come to the point of understanding, how she feels

Ghosts of the Grand Strand I have dreamed of California Just like every other man Thanks God there’s always someone there to warn you Best stay away from those best laid plans On the road this time each summer With my daughter of the confederacy We’ll watch those fireworks of freedom From our condo balcony Take our pictures by the ocean Of our toes here in the sand Just another lost vacation With the ghosts of the Grand Strand I am a son of North Carolina A place to be, rather than to seem In shutdown mills and fields of farmers Walks every ghost here before me On the road this time each summer With my daughter of the confederacy We’ll watch those fireworks of freedom From our condo balcony Take our pictures by the ocean Of our toes here in the sand Just another lost vacation With the ghosts of the Grand Strand Same old song - day after day - wave after wave The melody always drifts away On the road this time each summer With my daughter of the confederacy We’ll watch those fireworks of freedom From our condo balcony We'll drink a cold beer by the ocean Do a little shagging to the Tams Just another lost vacation With the ghosts of the Grand Strand

Shake She's moving up, ain’t going down She's going out, she's gonna paint the town She’s gonna ride, she's gonna cruise She's gonna break a heart or two She’s gonna shake She's going to shake off the troubles of this old world Kick off her shoes and hit the floor She's got Mississippi blues and Motown soul She's gonna rock she's gonna roll She’s gonna shake She’s gonna fly, she’s gonna float She’s gonna circumnavigate the globe She’s gonna dance, she’s gonna sing She’s gonna shine like a diamond ring She’s gonna shake She's going to shake off the troubles of this old world Kick off her shoes and hit the floor She's got Carolina grass and Memphis soul She's gonna rock she's gonna roll She’s gonna shake She’s gonna fly, she’s gonna float She’s gonna circumnavigate the globe She’s gonna dance, she’s gonna sing She’s gonna shine like a diamond ring She's going to shake off the troubles of this old world Kick off her shoes and hit the floor She's got Carolina beach and Muscle Shoals She's gonna rock she's gonna roll She’s gonna shake

Maria Smiles 02:35
Maria Smiles Maria smiles and takes my hand We're walking to the promised land today Makes a wish on every falling star Says we're getting closer everyday She's as beautiful as the day we met She says, boy you ain't seen nothing yet - just wait Maria says we'll be there soon Sleep through the day, walk with the moon Like dreams - the sweetest dreams We'll find a place and make a home Have something we can call our own, someday She's as beautiful as the day we met She says, boy you ain't seen nothing yet - just wait Maria smiles and walks away Work to do, got bills to pay They say it's the American way In this land of opportunity Girl, I got you and you got me and every day is a better day She's as beautiful as the day we met She says, boy you ain't seen nothing yet - just wait

All These Crows All these crows, all these crows Outside my window, lined up in a row Black as the night, where they come from My own harbingers of sorrows yet to come All alone, nobody calls my name Every night and every day the same old thing If you got no news, there ain’t nothing to know Ain’t nobody here but me and all these crows All these crows, all these crows Outside my window, lined up in a row Black as the night, where they come from My own harbingers of sorrows yet to come I am in prisoner in my own walls All friends gone away, no one to call Lived a long hard life, with nothing to show Just an old house full of ghosts and all these crows Left my dreams on a cotton mill floor Still owe my soul to the company store But the mill don’t run no more I remember the good days and it dulls the pain Sometimes I even shake off the dust and rattle my chains But my time has passed, the sun hangs low I pray the good lord come take me, I’m ready to go All these crows, all these crows Outside my window, lined up in a row Black as the night, where they come from My own harbingers of sorrows yet to come

Long Weekend 02:26
Long Weekend Sing my love song to you, Sing this love song for you But it sounds like blues I hang on to regret, try hard to forget But I ain’t there yet I got everything I need to get me through I got everything I need, but i ain’t got you Sing my love song to you, Sing this love song for you But it sounds like blues I hate being here alone, thought this house was a home But now you’re gone About the only thing that I got figured out Honey, you’re the only thing I can’t live without Sing my love song to you, Sing this love song for you But it sounds like blues Sing my love song to you, wrote this love song for you Just something to do I got everything I need to get me through I got everything I need, but I ain’t got you About the only thing that I got figured out Honey, you’re the only thing I can’t live without Sing my love song to you, Sing this love song for you But it sounds like blues
