Desert Blues 04:41
Get under the earth Sink into the sand This must be the place Where they touch god's hand She's over the night In a far off room They sing it in the morning And it rings out at noon We kissed on the train Slipped on the rain She fell through the door On a windowpane The house and walls They cry at the moon The men are all weeping And the clocks are out of tune Someone here’s got the desert blues The desert blues The bridges burn The white sands blow An old man sings Nowhere else to go You follow the footprints Paved with gold There’s a light in your eye It’s a thousand years old Someone here's got the desert blues The desert blues

Well there's love in this world But none of its for me And the dreams in this world They don't come for free Reachin' through the night The recess of the light Well the times have been changed I'll reconcile my thoughts And the ones that remain They're all weary and withdrawn In the cold river's rain We're wide open again
3.
Sixty minutes in a holding cell She asks, "Are we in Hell?" I guess it could be worse than that To be in the cold flat on your back Well it takes time to realize That we live outside the flow of time And when the dark comes over me I'll already be there waiting inline Dancing with the devil On a moonlit night As he walks through my dreams Crazy as that might seem Have you ever felt caught in life In the middle of a frozen stream In hotel bars with washed-up stars He talks trash with a Spanish guitar She can't get going in the morning He can't stop his past from catching up Dancing with the devil On a moonlit night So of the few things I think I know What's clear is the pain of fear So I'm going where life don't mean so much Down below the conscious flow And like an old train on the wrong side Look at the canyon, the world is on its side Dancing with the devil On a moonlit night
4.
Huntington beach She said she'd never seen Well he'd been there before Allthough it was in a dream She never knew where she was Unless she'd been there before Well she got up late But felt she couldnt wait And he waited till dawn When the lights flickered on The car was dead So they took the road instead She never knew where she was Unless she'd been there before
5.
I wrote a thousand letters I said a thousand things And all that I can remember It don't mean a thing Three years to the day I can't even think I try to pull it together And find my missing link Your're so stuck in my mind You're still stuck in my mind I rode a thousand rivers I crossed a thousand tracks The things that I used to be They ain't coming back I tried to get it together On some borrowed time I try to pull it together None of it was mine You're still stuck in my mind
6.
Well he's gettin' up early With a cup of coffee He's got no reason He's got no glory He's the man who works with his hands Haulin' boxes in the mornin' Loadin' crates in the evenin' Washin' windows in the daytime He's got no time to be sidelined He's the man who works with his hands When he works alittle overtime He spends his money on a bottle of wine Forgets about the weekday Leaves his life of work behind He's the man who works with his hands
7.
If it weren't for Jesus I wouldn't be here today If it weren't for the Lord The darkness wouldn't go away The next time I see the Lord I'll give him the good news Tell him his word Has been put to good use Well I got no complaints I got nothing to say If he's coming I hope he comes my way The next time I see the Lord I'll give him the good news Tell him his word Has been put to good use From the night sky He'll be fallin' down I'll be there waiting On the dark side of town Hey Jesus Save a place for me If yer gonna free us How long before you get to me?

Blue Light 02:54
Blue light midnight and you It's a cool night where we goin' to The world slips through my open window And all I see is you Travel long and hard to find you Sooner or later the roads all break through The world's spinin' like a top through my window And all i see is you I wish like a dream this would not end If I fall back behind can I come up again The world is mine the world is yours And all I see is you
9.
Seas of Wyoming Bring me back home Sing me a river Don't leave me alone Dark blue moon Drift me away Sound me asleep I'm so far Far away See the horizon Circle round me One hundred years ago Where could they all be You were going nowhere I was going there too We found each other Under a moon so blue I sailed to sea You pulled me back There's nothing smaller Than the life on your back You were going nowhere I was going there too We found each other under Seas of Wyoming Bring me back home Sing me a river Don't leave me alone You were going nowhere I was going there too We found each other Under a moon so blue Moon so blue
10.
Somewhere not far from here The sun's gonna shine in yer eyes Everything will be clear Not far from here Sometime not far from now You'll know just where to go Everything will fall away Not far from now Will you let the days go by Will you travel in the middle of the night Someone said to you Never take the same road again Always travel somewhere new Not far fom now

Dust in a dirty room Our life long ago When can I talk to you I take it you don't know Where does the stairway end And can I follow you It's been days on end When will I break through Where do I go from here Do I move on alone Will it be so clear Will I be on my own
13.
Down under the curve I'm ringin' my bell People don't know I'm alive and well Lyin' down low Under this heap Noone hears me I'm covered by sleep I'm gonna pull a dead man's bell I'm gonna ring my dead man's bell When I go I'm gonna ring my bell Six feet under send 'em all to hell Lyin' down low Under this heap Noone hears me I'm covered by sleep I'm gonna pull a dead man's bell I'm gonna ring my dead man's bell
14.
Where'd you go that night The night you flew away Do you know it's alright But only for today You're an angel from another town Are you thinkin' of me While I waste my time You turned off the light Faded into the night You're an angel from another town Gonna miss yer everything Where did we go Will we make it there again If I leave it all behind Can it come back again You're an angel from another town
15.
Don't Care 04:05
I burned at the top Never really knew what it was for You led yourself to the end Laid yourself right down beside my door It's all over now Do you even care You gave up the most All you really wanted was your own You led yourself to the end Never really wanting anymore It's all over now Do you even care I burned at the top Never really knew what it was for You led yourself to the end Laid yourself right down beside my door It's all over now
16.
The Devil got his job And I got mine One day we're gonna meet At the end of the line
17.
Georgia red clay You've seen better days Somewhere you broke down and got lost In my broken sleep I thought I heard you speak Or was it just the shadows calling me Tried and true you'll find Is just a waste of time You can never buy back what you have lost Georgia red clay You've seen better days Somewhere you broke down and got lost In my broken sleep I thought I heard you speak Or was it just the shadows calling me
18.
The walls dimmed The cars shouted out She had gone While he sat home When she had left Unable to remember Last touch of keys Last sound of breath It was much later on He couldn't get up And she couldn't sit down The whole time woundering Who was going down That night they talked Once in a long time Things they never did Things that they never could It was much later on Must be getting lost There's alot out there I just can't see But I know it well
19.
Train, train, train you know the way Take me to him and don't delay If I've sinned I know it's alright He likes his friends as dark as nigt I'm hoping to find the Devil soon I hear he lives behind the moon I'm hoping to find the Devil soon He's got my soul and I need it soon Goin down at full speed Get out of my way if you please If he's home I hope he lets me in We got a deal it's about to begin Through the dark through the light I'm hoping to find the other side I'm hoping to find the Devil soon I got a plan take me to his room I'm hoping to find the Devil soon I need his advice to get me through I'm hoping to find the Devil soon I hear he lives behind the moon I'm hoping to find the Devil soon He's got my soul and I need it soon Livin' like this ain't very hard Just call out his name and quit your job Like the moon in the light The Devil's hard to reach at night I'm hoping to find the Devil soon I hear he lives behind the moon I'm hoping to find the Devil soon He's got my soul and I need it soon

Well he's gettin' up early With a cup of coffee He's got no reason He's got no glory He's the man who works with his hands Haulin' boxes in the mornin' Loadin' crates in the evenin' Washin' windows in the daytime He's got no time to be sidelined He's the man who works with his hands When he works alittle overtime He spends his money on a bottle of wine Forgets about the weekday Leaves his life of work behind He's the man who works with his hands
21.
When I get to heaven What am I gonna see Will it be the Devil Smilin' up at me And when I see old Jesus What is he gonna say Will he come and walk with me Will he turn away Gonna leave my sins at home

Watershed 02:30
Well I got no secrets And I got no regrets I'm fallin' through the floor Can you help me out Can we talk by the watershed I'm lookin' like a train wreck You've got no time To help me out Well it looks like it happened once again Well we had some highs And we had some lows But most of all it reminds me of you Well you got no regrets About the things you might have said Well its ok I'm not too bummed out Well it looks like it's happening again
24.
When my clothes are worn And I haven’t got the time I’m kicking sand alone And my dreams don’t seem to work There’s a place some go Across the road, the fields Some say it’s out of reach Some say it’s not for real When the ships are in the harbour They're calling on me I’ll take my chance I’ll take my things Dream of a life at sea That’s when I dream Dream of the sea As the sun begins to go The clouds are all I see I take my time and I wonder Dream of a life at sea That’s when I dream Dream of the sea
25.
He's picking up, he's dropping off He's making just enough He's got a map and a plan He's a man with van Man with van Well the work is rough And the days are long His hands are tough They're a million miles long Man with van He's got a steady right hand He's riding along the Seine There's a girl out of town He wants to settle down Man with van
26.
Gonna leave this world behind Make it ease my mind Take a train far away Get my soul saved Gonna leave this world behind Go far away Gotta go gotta go To another place
27.
The last time I saw you You were dressed in black Little did I know You wouldn't make it back I was talking all night Getting nothing back Spending my days In a one room shack Though we could roll into town Burn the place to the ground But the train never stopped I couldn't turn around So I left you with the U-Haul The baggage and my hat And went along with my plan Booked myself into a one room shack A one room shack
28.
There is a place The fires still burn The old roads are gone There's nothing left to learn Reno People undercover People underground Just a dead end road To a dead end town Reno It was in a dream I had We shot through the sky It turned out bad She couldn't look me in the eye Reno
29.
Winter Blues 01:33
30.
When you spoke to the crowd There was no one around When you listen to yourself And there's nothing left You were taken back to yourself When you look through the night And nothing is quite right You begin again It's life towards the end You were taken back to yourself
