When you ring a bell, it can't be unrung I can’t sit around at home where I don’t belong So we packed up the van, just like the old days, playing the same old songs Taking I-10 west into the setting sun And we’re back on the road South bound, trying to get away from the cold Barely making the show After last night baby I can guarantee The jaws of hell are here to welcome me But if you give us a shot, turn up the music, we’re a sight to see At the end of the day baby we’re all you need Well now I’m feeling alright Downtown, it’s good to be back on the east side And baby when they dim the lights We’re playing favorites tonight Playing on monday Playing on tuesday Playing on wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday into the sun Somebody’s off to the side Looks right, god it’s been such a long time Since we laughed so hard that we cried

Take off your number You had a good run or At least that's what you tell yourself You're gonna fall (fall) So make the call Before we put you on the shelf Don’t bother with the referee It’s all going back to the company Take a break (break) It ain’t a mistake And everyone can see You just don't got what it takes To make it in rock and roll And when you hear that dinner bell ringing You’re for whom it tolls Enjoy your last meal I hope you worked up an appetite Alright It’s time for you to eat it and beat it It’s getting cold So now you gotta eat it and beat it Tell em boys Yeah you gotta eat it and beat You’re getting old It’s s time to eat it and beat it The nail meets the hammer So take down your banner You better hit the bricks The world turns (turns) so lesson learned Ya gotta know when to call it quits Stop your sobbing tears You're past your prime By a couple years You're getting burned (burned) It's what you’ve earned At least you got some souvenirs Did you get everything you wanted Before you went in the ditch Sometimes a high riding womans got no choice But to be a son of a bitch

All Lined Up 03:40
On dark winter nights When the weather can be so cruel I need to warm my spirit I need to shoot some pool Singles at the bar Quarters so we can play If you can rack them up Then I can break Are we calling our shots? Or playing it more sly Everytime Its on the line My oh my I scratch on the side Oh I fall to pieces Cause I had em all lined up The stars that help to guide me Are the diamonds in the marquee There's a long shadow cast upon your face But we’re not here to wallow We came to escape This world’s cold and we’re alone But we’re not just drifting through outer space We got shot an angle To the deepest pocket yet made If a black hole swallows you up Would you be grateful to take the ride?
4.
I swear I won't tell If you gaze into the wishing well I’ll hold your feet You can lean in to see how deep Is my love, if you slip Something made me lose my grip Ain’t that a damn shame If you ever climb out And get a wild hair, I don’t care It’s all gone wrong Now it’s time to move along So don’t come lookin’ For what cant be found Don’t come lookin Don’t need you around I heard you dried out Well that sounds swell but it’s still farewell It’s a pretty song Sing it to the next girl on your arm Don’t come round Bad luck’s known me Since I cut down the holly tree But my fortunes changed I’ve been fighting shy now But im on the mend and I’m with my friends I’m feeling strong Closer to the peace I been searching on Don’t come looking now that I’ve been unbound
5.
I Gotta Go 03:46
Summer nights Far from the crow I just can't hold back When I reach that fever pitch, no When i see you You take me right out of the world I get so excited everytime You say those special words Baby you’re driving me crazy But I gotta go Such sweet sorrow I gotta go right now But I’ll see you tomorrow Gotta go to come back Sleep in for me I wanna be the first thing you see By the time You wake up I’ll be back in your arms You wont miss a thing, no Every morning When I have to leave you alone I’d rather crawl through broken glass Than see you sleep on your own Baby you’re driving me crazy But I gotta go Such sweet sorrow I gotta go right now But I’m see you tomorrow Gotta go but I’m off all afternoon Morning comes always to soon You know I’d love to stay Today and everyday

Moonstruck 03:05
Oh I left your place last in the pouring rain But when I got home the silence was louder than the storm It's just been me for so long It gets harder just to go on I need some loving arms to keep me warm Oh come on now Moonstruck By my dumb luck Moonstruck More and more Moonstruck By my dumb luck Moonstruck, moonstruck, moonstruck More and more You linger in my mind like fog on the river I was drinking with you boys when you first locked eyes with me I might have started a brawl When I smashed that disco ball But the smile on your face made me feel so fancy free Come on you son of a bitch Moonstruck By my dumb luck Moonstruck More and more Moonstruck By my dumb luck Moonstruck, moonstruck, moonstruck More and more I aint wasting time no more I dont play no games Don't point no blame I take my aim I got no shame I want your love I want your love Or I want no one Moonstruck By my dumb luck Moonstruck More and more Moonstruck By my dumb luck Moonstruck, moonstruck, moonstruck More and more

Don't tell me the time Don't tell me who’s who I don't really want to know Tomorrow I’ll write the book Tonight I want another drink And dance until the morning comes Should we take a chance Should I make the call I can't decide which way to go It's dark and hell is hot But I don't feel a thing No, not until the morning comes Watch the wounded flowers sway Watch them Watch them waste away A hand is reaching down Rips them rips them from the ground Is this life? In the mechanical garden Is this living in The mechanical garden Leave the light on Let me stumble in Just want one more for the road I’m running out the clock I think i’m going broke But I need something to ease my worries I'm just a soft machine And I don’t care what's real When living is a weeping wound Everyone’s breaking down Its gumming up the works I guess I’m gonna take a cab to the city

Golden Hour 03:19
In my life I’ve had my share of worries I’ve been no stranger to love and loss I know the contrast makes all the difference What’s in view And where is the camera pointing? Is darkness lurking in every frame? I know i’ve got to focus And remember you in the Light of the golden hour Streaming down Streaming right down on a field of wildflowers Streaming down Streaming down Light of the golden hour My goodbye I hold your picture as tears come streaming from my eyes Streaming down Streaming down In my candid moments I always knew I could trust you You were always so cool and composed You always helped me focus You were never blue in the

Remember where steel turned to rust? The old dog cried behind the bus You stopped the car cause you hated to see him alone Well I don't know what’s in store But I’d follow you a millions miles or more As long as I got a biscuit, you got half Of all I have to share I love the way you give to me when there’s nothing to spare Someday when we can find more than pennies and dimes We’ll go somewhere gentle Baby with you by my side, it’s a whole new ballgame Cool air, butter and thyme, eggs on the fry And tea on the kettle We may have our disputes You know me, I won’t say boo to a goose But as long as I’ve got a jar you got half
10.
Paper Time 02:49
In the morning when the paper comes I know what to do I go outside, I walk next door and I give it straight to you I don’t really care when the mail comes ‘Cause I got you here I’m not really sure why it’s so hard to capture But it’s Papertime (gimme the news) And when its paper time I don’t need to worry (I know that it’s all alright) When I’m old and I’m sick and weak And life is passing me by I’de hate to think what could have been If i just had the nerve to try
11.
when you get back I'll tell you the things that I never got to say Before you went away When you get back I'll let you know just what you mean to me How sweet it is gonna be When you get back Cause when you get back Never will you be without a best friend And when you get back We'll go to all your favorite places in town again When you get back I promise to be near you when the night is black So come back When you get back I'll return all of the things that belong to you And when you get back I can ask do you feel the same way too When you get back I'll be so full of joy but now I'm sad and blue So come back, I need you.
