Bob Dylan | Copper Kettle | /b/bob+dylan/copper+kettle_20021515.html | Get you a copper kettle, get you a copper coil
Fill it with new made corn mash and never more you'll toil
You'll just lay there by the juniper while the moon is bright
Watch them just a-filling in the pale moonlight.
Build you a fire with hickory, hickory, ash and oak
Don't use no green or rotten wood, they'll get you by the smoke
You'll just lay there by the juniper while the moon is bright
Watch them just a-filling in the pale moonlight.
My daddy he made whiskey, my granddaddy he did too
We ain't paid no whiskey tax since 1792
You'll just lay there by the juniper while the moon is bright
Watch them just a-filling in the pale moonlight.

Bob Dylan | Country Pie | /b/bob+dylan/country+pie_20021448.html | Just like old Saxophone Joe
When he's hot ,the hogshead up on his toe
Oh me, oh my
Love that country pie.
Listen to the fiddler play
When he's playin' 'til the break of day
Oh me, oh my
Love that country pie.
Raspberry, strawberry, lemon and lime
What do I care?
Blueberry, apple, cherry, pumpkin and plum
Call me for dinner,
Honey, I'll be there.
Saddle me up on my big white goose
Tie me on 'er turn her loose
Oh me, oh my
Love that country pie.
I don't need much and that ain't no lie
Ain't runnin' any race
Give to me my country pie
I won't throw it up in anybody's face.
Shake me up that old peach tree
Little Jack Horner's got nothin' on me
Oh me, oh my
Love that country pie.

Bob Dylan | Cry A While | /b/bob+dylan/cry+a+while_20681362.html | Well, I had to go down and see a guy named Mr. Goldsmith
A nasty, dirty, double-crossin', back-stabbin' phony I didn't want to have to
be dealin' with
But I did it for you and all you gave me was a smile
Well, I cried for you - now it's your turn to cry awhile
I don't carry dead weight - I'm no flash in the pan
All right, I'll set you straight, can't you see I'm a union man?
I'm lettin' the cat out of the cage, I'm keeping a low profile
Well, I cried for you - now it's your turn, you can cry awhile
Feel like a fighting rooster - feel better than I ever felt
But the Pennsylvania line's in an awful mess and the Denver road is about to
melt
I went to the church house, every day I go an extra mile
Well, I cried for you - now it's your turn, you can cry awhile
Last night 'cross the alley there was a pounding on the walls
It must have been Don Pasquale makin' a two a.m. booty call
To break a trusting heart like mine was just your style
Well, I cried for you - now it's your turn to cry awhile
I'm on the fringes of the night, fighting back tears that I can't control
Some people they ain't human, they got no heart or soul
Well, I'm crying to The Lord - I'm tryin' to be meek and mild
Yes, I cried for you - now it's your turn, you can cry awhile
Well, there's preachers in the pulpits and babies in the cribs
I'm longin' for that sweet fat that sticks to your ribs
I'm gonna buy me a barrel of whiskey - I'll die before I turn senile
Well, I cried for you - now it's your turn, you can cry awhile
Well, you bet on a horse and it ran on the wrong way
I always said you'd be sorry and today could be the day
I might need a good lawyer, could be your funeral, my trial
Well, I cried for you, now it's your turn, you can cry awhile

Bob Dylan | Dark Eyes | /b/bob+dylan/dark+eyes_20021360.html | Oh, the gentlemen are talking and the midnight moon is on the riverside
They're drinking up and walking and it is time for me to slide
I live in another world where life and death are memorized
Where the earth is strung with lover's pearls and all I see are dark eyes.
A cock is crowing far away and another soldier's deep in prayer
Some mother's child has gone astray, she can't find him anywhere
But I hear another rum beating for the dead that rise
Whom nature's beast fear as they come and all I see are dark eyes.
They tell me to be discreet for all intended purposes
They tell me revenge is sweet, I'm sure it is
But I feel nothing for their game, where beauty goes unrecognized
All I feel is heat and flame, and all I see are dark eyes.
Oh, the French girl, she's in paradise and a drunken man is at the wheel
Hunger pays a heavy prize to the falling god of speed and steel
Oh, time is short and the days are sweet and passion rules the arrow that
flies
A million faces at my feet but all I see are dark eyes.

Bob Dylan | Dear Landlord | /b/bob+dylan/dear+landlord_20021404.html | Dear landlord,
Please don't put a price on my soul.
My burden is heavy,
My dreams are beyond control.
When that steamboat whistle blows,
I'm gonna give you all I got to give,
And I do hope you receive it well,
Dependin' on the way you feel that you live.
Dear landlord,
Please heed these words that I speak.
I know you've suffered much,
But in this you are not so unique.
All of us, at times, we might work too hard
To have it too fast and too much,
And anyone can fill his life up
With things he can see but he just cannot touch.
Dear landlord,
Please don't dismiss my case.
I'm not about to argue,
I'm not about to move to no other place.
Now, each of us has his own special gift
And you know this was meant to be true,
And if you don't underestimate me,
I won't underestimate you.

Bob Dylan | Denise | /b/bob+dylan/denise_20183774.html | By Bob Dylan
Denise, Denise,
Gal, what's on your mind?
Denise, Denise,
Gal, what's on your mind?
You got your eyes closed,
Heaven knows that you ain't blind.
Well, I can see you smiling,
But oh your mouth is inside out.
I can see you smiling,
But you're smiling inside out.
Well, I know you're laughin'
But what are you laughin' about.
Well, if you're tryin' to throw me,
Babe, I've already been tossed.
If you're tryin' to throw me,
Babe, I've already been tossed.
Babe, you're tryin' to lose me.
Babe, I'm already lost.
Well, what are you doing,
Are you flying or have you flipped?
Oh, what are you doing,
Are you flying or have you flipped?
Well, you call my name
And then say your tongue just slipped.
Denise, Denise,
You're concealed here on the shelf.
Denise, Denise,
You're concealed here on the shelf.
I'm looking deep in your eyes, babe,
And all I can see is myself.

Bob Dylan | Dirt Road Blues | /b/bob+dylan/dirt+road+blues_20021612.html | Gonna walk down that dirt road 'Til someone will let me ride
Gonna walk down that dirt road 'Til someone will let me ride
If I can't find my baby I'm gonna run away and hide
Well, I been pacing round the room, hoping maybe she come back
pacing round the room, hoping maybe she come back
Well, I been praying for salvation
Laying round in a one-room country shack
Gonna walk down that dirt road, until my eyes begin to bleed
Gonna walk down that dirt road, until my eyes begin to bleed
'Til there's nothing left to see
'Til the chains have been shattered and I been freed
But I'm looking at my shadow, I been watching the clouds up above
looking at my shadow, watching the clouds up above
Rolling through the rain and hail
Looking for the sunny side of love
Gonna walk down that dirt road 'til everything becomes the same
Gonna walk down that dirt road 'til everything becomes the same
I keep on walking 'til I hear her holler out my name

Bob Dylan | Disease Of Conceit | /b/bob+dylan/disease+of+conceit_20021470.html | There's a whole lot of people suffering tonight from the disease of conceit
Whole lot of people struggling tonight from the disease of conceit
Comes right down the highway straight down the line
Rips into your senses through your body and your mind
Nothing about it that's sweet
The disease of conceit.
There's a whole lot of hearts breaking tonight from the disease of conceit
Whole lot of hearts shaking tonight from the disease of conceit
Steps into your eats into your soul
Over your senses you have no control
Ain't nothing too discreet about the disease of conceit.
There's a whole lot of people dying tonight from the disease of conceit
Whole lot of people crying tonight from the disease of conceit
Comes right out of nowhere and you're down for the count
From the outside world the pressure will mount
Turn you into a piece of meat
The disease of conceit.
Conceit is the disease that the doctors got no cure
They've done a lot of research on it but what it is they're still not sure.
There's a whole lot of people in trouble tonight from the disease of conceit
Whole lot of people seeing trouble tonight fro the disease of conceit
Give you delusions of grandeur an evil eye
Give you the idea that you're too good to die
The they bury you from head to feet
From the disease of conceit.

Bob Dylan | Dixie | /b/bob+dylan/dixie_20191943.html | I wish I was in the land of cotton
Old times there are not forgotten
Look away, look away, look away to Dixie Land
[Chorus]
In Dixie Land where i was born
Early on one frosty morn
Look away, look away, look away to Dixie Land
I wish I was in Dixie
Away, away
In Dixie Land I'll take my stand
To live and die in Dixie
Away, away, away down south in Dixie
Away, away, away down south in Dixie
[Chorus]
I wish I was in Dixie
Away, away
In Dixie Land I'll take my stand
To live and die in Dixie
Away, away, away down south in Dixie
Away, away, away down south in Dixie

Bob Dylan | Do You Hear What I Hear? | /b/bob+dylan/do+you+hear+what+i+hear_20855080.html | Said the night wind to the little lamb
Do you see what I see?
Way up in the sky, little lamb
Do you see what I see?
A star, a star, dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?
Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?
A song, a song high above the trees
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know?
In your palace warm, mighty king
Do you know what I know?
A Child, a Child shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say!
Pray for peace, people, everywhere
Listen to what I say!
The Child, the Child sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light

Bob Dylan | Don't Fall Apart On Me Tonight | /b/bob+dylan/dont+fall+apart+on+me+tonight_20021393.html | Just a minute before you leave, girl
Just a minute before you touch the door
What is it that you're trying to achieve, girl?
Do you think we can talk about it some more?
You know the streets are filled with vipers
Who've lost all ray of hope
You know, it ain't even safe no more
In the palace of the Pope.
Don't fall apart on me tonight
I just don't think that I could handle it
Don't fall apart on me tonight
Yesterday's just a memory
Tomorrow is never what it's supposed to be
And I need you, yeah.
Come over here from over there, girl
Sit down here, you can have my chair
I can't see us going anywhere, girl
The only place open is a thousand miles away and I can't take you there
I wish I'd have been a doctor
Maybe I'd have saved some life that had been lost
Maybe I'd have done some good in the world
'Stead of burning every bridge I crossed.
Don't fall apart on me tonight
I just don't think that I could handle it
Don't fall apart on me tonight
Yesterday's just a memory
Tomorrow is never what it's supposed to be
And I need you, yeah.
I ain't too good at conversation, girl
So you might not know exactly how I feel
But if I could, I'd bring you to the mountaintop, girl
And build you a house made out of stainless steel
But it's like I'm stuck inside a painting
My throat start to tickle and my nose itches
But I know that I can't move.
Don't fall apart on me tonight
I just don't think that I could handle it
Don't fall apart on me tonight
Yesterday's gone but the past lives on
Tomorrow's just one step beyond
And I need you, yeah.
Who are these people who are walking towards you
Do you know them or will there be a fight?
With their humorless smiles so easy to see through
Can they tell you what's wrong from right?
Do you remember St. James Street
Where you blew Jackie P.'s mind?
You were so fine, Clark Gable would have fell at your feet
And laid his life on the line.
Let's try to get beneath the surface waste, girl
No more booby traps and bombs
No more decadence and charm
No more affection that's been misplaced, girl
No more mud cake creatures lying in your arms
What about that millionaire with the drumsticks in his pants?
He looked so baffled and bewildered
When he played and we didn't dance.
Don't fall apart on me tonight
I just don't think that I could handle it
Don't fall apart on me tonight
Yesterday's just a memory
Tomorrow's never what it's supposed to be
And I need you, yeah.

Bob Dylan | Don't Think Twice, It's All Right | /b/bob+dylan/dont+think+twice+its+all+right_20021244.html | It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It don't matter, anyhow
An' it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don't know by now
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm trav'lin' on
Don't think twice, it's all right
It ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
An' it ain't no use in turnin' on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
Still I wish there was somethin' you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talkin' anyway
So don't think twice, it's all right
It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
Like you never did before
It ain't no use in callin' out my name, gal
I can't hear you any more
I'm a-thinkin' and a-wond'rin' all the way down the road
I once loved a woman, a child I'm told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
But don't think twice, it's all right
I'm walkin' down that long, lonesome road, babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
But goodbye's too good a word, gal
So I'll just say fare thee well
I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right

Bob Dylan | Drifter's Escape | /b/bob+dylan/drifters+escape_20021406.html | "Oh, help me in my weakness,"
I heard the drifter say,
As they carried him from the courtroom
And were taking him away.
"My trip hasn't been a pleasant one
And my time it isn't long,
And I still do not know
What it was that I've done wrong."
Well, the judge, he cast his robe aside,
A tear came to his eye,
"You fail to understand," he said,
"Why must you even try?"
Outside, the crowd was stirring,
You could hear it from the door.
Inside, the judge was stepping down,
While the jury cried for more.
"Oh, stop that cursed jury,"
Cried the attendant and the nurse,
"The trial was bad enough,
But this is ten times worse."
Just then a bolt of lightning
Struck the courthouse out of shape,
And while ev'rybody knelt to pray
The drifter did escape.

Bob Dylan | Dusty Old Fairgrounds | /b/bob+dylan/dusty+old+fairgrounds_20190845.html | by Bob Dylan
Well, it's all up from Florida at the start of the spring,
The trucks and the trailers will be winding
Like a bullet we'll shoot for the carnival route.
We're following them dusty old fairgrounds a-calling.
From the Michigan mud past the Wisconsin sun
'Cross that Minnesota border, keep 'em scrambling
Through the clear county lakes and the lumberjack lands,
We're following them dusty old fairgrounds a-calling.
Hit Fargo on the jump and down to Aberdeen
'Cross them old Black Hills, keep 'em rolling
Through the cow country towns and the sands of old Montana.
We're following them fairgrounds a-calling.
As the white line on the highway sails under your wheels,
I've gazed from the trailer window laughing.
Oh, our clothes they was torn but the colors they was bright.
Following them dusty old fairgrounds a-calling.
It's a-many a friend that follows the bend,
The jugglers, the hustlers, the gamblers.
Well, I've spent my time with the fortune-telling kind
Following them fairgrounds a-calling.
Oh, it's pound down the rails and it's tie down the tents,
Get that canvas flag a-flying.
Well, let the caterpillars spin, let the ferris wheel wind
Following them fairgrounds a-calling.
Well, it's roll into town straight to the fairgrounds
Just behind the posters that are hanging
And it's fill up every space with a different kind of face
Following them fairgrounds a-calling.
Get the dancing girls in front, get the gambling show behind,
Hear that old music box a-banging.
Hear them kids, faces, smiles, up and down the midway aisles
We're following them fairgrounds a-calling.
It's a-drag it on down by the deadline in the town,
Hit the old highway by the morning
And it's ride yourself blind for the next town on time
Following them fairgrounds a-calling.
As the harmonicas whined in the lonesome nighttime
Drinking red wine as we're rolling,
Many a turnin' I turn, many a lesson I learn
From following them fairgrounds a-calling.
And it's roll back down to St. Petersburg
Tie down the trailers and camp 'em
And the money that we made will pay for the space
From following them dusty old fairgrounds a-calling.

Bob Dylan | Emotionally Yours | /b/bob+dylan/emotionally+yours_20021361.html | Come baby, find me, come baby, remind me of where I once begun
Come baby, show me, show me you know me, tell me you're the one
I could be learning, you could be yearning to see behind the closed door
But I will always be emotionally yours.
Come baby, rock me, come baby, locl me into the shadows of your heart
Come baby, teach me, come baby, reach me, let the music start
I could be dreaming but I keep believing you're the one I'm living for
And I will always be emotionally yours.
It's like my whole life never happened
When I see you, it's if I never had a thought
I know this dream, it might be crazy
But it's the only one I got. Okay.
Come baby, shake me, come baby, take me, I would be satisfied
Come baby, hold me, come baby, help me, my arms are open wide
I could be unraveling wherever I'm traveling, even to foreign shores
But I will always be emotionally yours.

Bob Dylan | Fixin' To Die | /b/bob+dylan/fixin+to+die_20021203.html | Feelin' funny in my mind Lord, I believe I'm fixin' to die
Feelin' funny in my mind Lord, I believe I'm fixin' to die
Well I don't mind dyin' but I hate to leave my children cryin'
Well look over yonder, to that buryin' ground
Look over yonder, to that buryin' ground
Sure seems lonesome, Lord when the sun goes down
Feelin' funny in my eyes Lord, I believe I'm fixin' to die, fixin' to die
Feelin' funny in my eyes Lord, I believe I'm fixin' to die
Well I don't mind dyin' but I hate to leave my children cryin'
Well there's black smoke risin' Lord, it's risin' up above my head, up above
my head
Well there's black smoke risin' Lord, it's risin' up above my head
Can tell Jesus, "Make up my dyin' bed"
Well I'm walkin' kinda funny Lord, I believe I'm fixin' to die, fixin' to die
Yes I'm walkin' kinda funny Lord, I believe I'm fixin' to die, fixin' to die,
fixin' to die
Well I don't mind dyin' but I hate to leave my children cryin'

Bob Dylan | Floater | /b/bob+dylan/floater_10043295.html | Down over the window
From the dazzling sunlit rays
Through the back alleys, through the blinds
Another one of them endless days
Honey bees are buzzing
Leaves begin to stir
I'm in love with my second cousin
I tell myself I could be happy forever with her
I keep listening for footsteps
But I ain't never hearing any
From the boat, I fish for bullheads
I catch a lot, sometimes too many
A summer breeze is blowin'
A squall is setting in
Sometimes it's just plain stupid
To get into any kind of wind
Well the old men 'round here
Sometimes they get on bad terms
With the younger men,
Old, young, age don't carry weight
It doesn't matter in the end
One of the boss' hangers-on
Sometimes comes to call
At times you least expect
Tryin' to bully you, strongarm you,
Inspire you with fear
It has the opposite effect
There's a new grove of trees on the outskirts of town
The old one is long gone
10 foot, 2 foot, 6 across
Burns with the bark still on
They say times are hard
If you don't believe it you can follow your nose
It don't bother me, times are hard anywhere
We'll just have to see how it goes
My old man, he's like some feudal lord
He's got more lives than a cat
I've never seen him quarrel with my mother even once
Things come alive or they fall flat
You can smell the pine wood burnin'
You can hear the school bell ring
Got to get up near the teacher, if you can
If you wanna learn anything
Romeo, he said to Juliet, you got a poor complexion
It don't give you an appearance or a youthful touch
Juliet said back to Romeo,
Why don't you just shove off,
If it bothers you so much
They got outta here any way they could
Cold rain can give you the shivers
They went down the Ohio, the Cumberland, the Tennessee,
All the rest of them rebel rivers
If you ever try to interfere with me
Or cross my path again,
You do so at the peril of your life
I'm not quite as cool, or forgiving as I sound
I've seen enough heartache and strife
My grandfather was a duck trapper,
He could do it with just dragnets and ropes [?]
My grandmother could sew new dresses out of old cloth,
I don't know if they had any dreams or hopes.
I had 'em once, though I suppose
To go along with all the ring dancing,
Christmas carols and all the Christmas eves
I left all my dreams and hopes
Buried under tobacco leaves
Not always easy kicking someone up
Got to wait awhile, it can be an unpleasant task
Sometimes somebody wants you to give something up
And tears or not, it's too much to ask.

Bob Dylan | Freight Train Blues | /b/bob+dylan/freight+train+blues_20021204.html | I was born in Dixie in a boomer shack
Just a little shanty by the railroad track
Freight train was it taught me how to cry
Hummin' of the driver was my lullaby
I got the freight train blues
Oh Lord mama, I got them in the bottom of my rambling shoes
And when the whistle blows I gotta go baby, don't you know
Well, it looks like I'm never gonna lose the freight train blues.
Well, my daddy was a fireman and my old ma here,
She was the only daughter of the engineer
My sweetheart loved a brakeman and it ain't no joke
It's a shame the way she keeps a good man broke
I got the freight train blues
Oh Lord mama, I got them in the bottom of my rambling shoes
And when the whistle blows I gotta go oh mama, don't you know
Well, it looks like I'm never gonna lose the freight train blues.
Well, the only thing that makes me laugh again
Is a southbound whistle on a southbound train
Every place I want to go
I never can go, because you know
I got the freight train blues
Oh Lord mama, I got them in the bottom of my rambling shoes.

Bob Dylan | Get Your Rocks Off | /b/bob+dylan/get+your+rocks+off_20210598.html | By Bob Dylan
You know, there's two ol' maids layin' in the bed,
One picked herself up an' the other one, she said:
"Get your rocks off!
Get your rocks off! (Get 'em off!)
Get your rocks off! (Get 'em off!)
Get your rocks off-a me! (Get 'em off!)"
Well, you know, there late one night up on Blueberry Hill,
One man turned to the other man and said, with a blood-curdlin' chill, he
said:
"Get your rocks off! (Get 'em off!)
Get your rocks off! (Get 'em off!)
Get your rocks off! (Get 'em off!)
Get your rocks off-a me! (Get 'em off!)"
Well, you know, we was layin' down around Mink Muscle Creek,
One man said to the other man, he began to speak, he said:
"Get your rocks off! (Get 'em off!)
Get your rocks off! (Get 'em off!)
Get your rocks off! (Get 'em off!)
Get your rocks off-a me! (Get 'em off!)"
Well, you know, we was cruisin' down the highway in a Greyhound bus.
All kinds-a children in the side road, they was hollerin' at us, sayin':
"Get your rocks off! (Get 'em off!)
Get your rocks off! (Get 'em off!)
Get your rocks off! (Get 'em off!)
Get your rocks off-a me! "

Bob Dylan | Girl Of The North Country | /b/bob+dylan/girl+of+the+north+country_20021449.html | If you're travelin' in the North Country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to one who lives there
For she once was a true love of mine
If you go when the snowflakes storm
When the rivers freeze and summer ends
Please see she has a coat so warm
To keep her from the howlin' winds
Please see if her hair hangs long
If it rolls and flows all down her breast
Please see for me if her hair's hanging long
For that's the way I remember her best
I'm a-wonderin' if she remembers me at all
Many times I've often prayed
In the darkness of my night
In the brightness of my day
So if you're travelin' the North Country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to one who lives there
For she once was a true love of mine

Bob Dylan | Going, Going, Gone | /b/bob+dylan/going+going+gone_20021493.html | I've just reached a place
Where the willow don't bend.
There's not much more to be said
It's the top of the end.
I'm going,
I'm going,
I'm gone.
I'm closin' the book
On the pages and the text
And I don't really care
What happens next.
I'm just going,
I'm going,
I'm gone.
I been hangin' on threads,
I been playin' it straight,
Now, I've just got to cut loose
Before it gets late.
So I'm going,
I'm going,
I'm gone.
Grandma said, "Boy, go and follow your heart
And you'll be fine at the end of the line.
All that's gold isn't meant to shine.
Don't you and your one true love ever part."
I been walkin' the road,
I been livin' on the edge,
Now, I've just got to go
Before I get to the ledge.
So I'm going,
I'm just going,
I'm gone.

Bob Dylan | Golden Loom | /b/bob+dylan/golden+loom_20021270.html | Smoky autumn night, stars up in the sky,
I see the sailin' boats across the bay go by.
Eucalyptus trees hang above the street
And then I turn my head, for you're approachin' me.
Moonlight on the water, fisherman's daughter, floatin' in to my room
With a golden loom.
First we wash our feet near the immortal shrine
And then our shadows meet and then we drink the wine.
I see the hungry clouds up above your face
And then the tears roll down, what a bitter taste.
And then you drift away on a summer's day where the wildflowers bloom
With your golden loom.
I walk across the bridge in the dismal light
Where all the cars are stripped between the gates of night.
I see the trembling lion with the lotus flower tail
And then I kiss your lips as I lift your veil.
But you're gone and then all I seem to recall is the smell of perfume
And your golden loom.

Bob Dylan | Gonna Change My Way Of Thinking | /b/bob+dylan/gonna+change+my+way+of+thinking_20021545.html | Gonna change my way of thinking,
Make myself a different set of rules.
Gonna change my way of thinking,
Make myself a different set of rules.
Gonna put my good foot forward,
And stop being influenced by fools.
So much oppression,
Can't keep track of it no more.
So much oppression,
Can't keep track of it no more.
Sons becoming husbands to their mothers,
And old men turning young daughters into whores.
Stripes on your shoulders,
Stripes on your back and on your hands.
Stripes on your shoulders,
Stripes on your back and on your hands.
Swords piercing your side,
Blood and water flowing through the land.
Well don't know which one is worse,
Doing your own thing or just being cool.
Well don't know which one is worse,
Doing your own thing or just being cool.
You remember only about the brass ring,
You forget all about the golden rule.
You can mislead a man,
You can take ahold of his heart with your eyes.
You can mislead a man,
You can take ahold of his heart with your eyes.
But there's only one authority,
And that's the authority on high.
I got a God-fearing woman,
One I can easily afford.
I got a God-fearing woman,
One I can easily afford.
She can do the Georgia crawl,
She can walk in the spirit of the Lord.
Jesus said, "Be ready,
For you know not the hour in which I come."
Jesus said, "Be ready,
For you know not the hour in which I come."
He said, "He who is not for Me is against Me,"
Just so you know where He's coming from.
There's a kingdom called Heaven,
A place where there is no pain of birth.
There's a kingdom called Heaven,
A place where there is no pain of birth.
Well the Lord created it, mister,
About the same time He made the earth.

Bob Dylan | Gospel Plow | /b/bob+dylan/gospel+plow_20021205.html | Mary wore three links of chain
Every link was Jesus name
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, keep your hand on that plow, hold on.
Mary, Mark, Luke and John
All these prophets are dead and gone
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, keep your hand on that plow, hold on.
Well, I've never been to heaven
But I've been told streets up there
Are lined with gold
Keep your hand on that plow, hold on
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, keep your hand on that plow, hold on
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, keep your hand on that plow, hold on
Oh Lord, Oh Lord, keep your hand on that plow, hold on.

Bob Dylan | Handsome Molly | /b/bob+dylan/handsome+molly_20021221.html | Well, I wish I was in London,
Or some other seaport town
I'd put my foot on a steamboat
I'd sail the ocean 'round.
While sailing 'round the ocean,
While sailing 'round the sea
I'd think of handsome molly
Wherever she might be.
Don't you remember, molly
You gave me your right hand?
You said whenever you'd marry
I would be the man.
But you broke your promise
Go with whom you please
My poor heart is aching
You are at your ease.
I went to church last Sunday
Molly came ridin' by
I could tell her mind was changin'
By the rovin' of her eye.
I go down to the river
Though everyone's asleep
I think of handsome molly
An' I begin to weep.
So I wish I was in London,
Or some other seaport town
I'd put my foot on a steamboat
I'd sail the ocean 'round.

He says, "Ya want a gun? I'll give you one." She says, "Boy, you talking

Bob Dylan | House Carpenter | /b/bob+dylan/house+carpenter_20021273.html | Well met, well met, my own true love
Well met, well met, cried she
I've just returned from the salt, salt sea
And it's all for the love of thee
I could have married a King's daughter there
She would have married me
But I have forsaken my King's daughter there
It's all for the love of thee
Well, if you could have married a King's daughter there
I'm sure you're the one to blame
For I am married to a house carpenter
And I'm sure he's a fine young man
Forsake, forsake your house carpenter
And come away with me
I'll take you where the green grass grows
On the shores of sunny Italy
So up she picked her babies three
And gave them kisses, one, two, three
Saying "take good care of your daddy while I'm gone
And keep him good company."
Well, they were sailin' about two weeks
I'm sure it was not three
When the younger of the girls, she came on deck
Sayin' she wants company
"Well, are you weepin' for your house and home?
Or are you weepin' for your babies three?"
"Well, I'm not weepin' for my house carpenter
I'm weepin' for my babies three."
Oh what are those hills yonder, my love
They look as white as snow
Those are the hill of heaven, my love
You and I'll never know
Oh what are those hills yonder, my love
They look as dark as night
Those are the hills of hell-fire my love
Where you and I will unite
Oh twice around went the gallant ship
I'm sure it was not three
When the ship all of a sudden, it sprung a leak
And it drifted to the bottom of the sea

Bob Dylan | I Can't Get You Off Of My Mind | /b/bob+dylan/i+cant+get+you+off+of+my+mind_20823417.html | [Chorus]
Oh, I can't get you off of my mind
When I try I 'm just wastin' my time
Lord I've tried and I've tried
and all night long I've cried
But I can't get you off of my mind.
Didn't think you would leave me behind
But I guess you're the two-timin' kind
Do you think that it's smart to jump from heart to heart
When I can't get you off of my mind.
[Chorus]
You believe that a true love is blind
So you fool ev'ry new love you find
You've got stars in your eyes but they can't hide the lies
Oh, I can't get you off my mind.
[Chorus]

Bob Dylan | I Feel A Change Comin' On | /b/bob+dylan/i+feel+a+change+comin+on_20837365.html | Well I'm lookin' the world over
Looking far off into the east
And I see my baby comin'
She's walking with the village beast
I feel a change comin' on
And the last part of the day's already gone
We got so much in common
We strive for the same old ends
And I just can't wait
Wait for us to become friends
I feel a change comin' on
And the fourth part of the day's already gone
Well life is for love
And they say that love is blind
If you wanna live easy
Baby, pack your clothes with mine
I feel a change comin' on
And the fourth part of the day's already gone
Well now what's the use in dreaming
You got better things to do
Dreams never did work for me anyway
Even when they did come true
You are as porous as ever
Baby you can start a fire
I must be losing my mind
You're the object of my desire
I feel a change comin' on
And the fourth part of the day's already gone
I'm listening to Billy Joe Shaver
And I'm reading James Joyce
Some people they tell me
I got the blood of the land in my voice
Everybody got all the money
Everybody got all the beautiful clothes
Everybody got all the flowers
I don't have one single rose
I feel a change comin' on
And the fourth part of the day's already gone

Bob Dylan | If You Gotta Go, Go Now | /b/bob+dylan/if+you+gotta+go+go+now_20021278.html | Listen to me, baby,
There's something you must see.
I want to be with you, gal,
If you want to be with me.
But if you got to go,
It's all right.
But if you got to go, go now,
Or else you gotta stay all night.
It ain't that I'm questionin' you.
To take part in any quiz.
It's just that I ain't got no watch
An' you keep askin' me what time it is.
But if you got to go,
It's all right.
But if you got to go, go now,
Or else you gotta stay all night.
I am just a poor boy, baby,
Lookin' to connect.
But I certainly don't want you thinkin'
That I ain't got any respect.
But if you got to go,
It's all right.
But if you got to go, go now,
Or else you gotta stay all night.
You know I'd have nightmares
And a guilty conscience, too,
If I kept you from anything
That you really wanted to do.
But if you got to go,
It's all right.
But if you got to go, go now,
Or else you gotta stay all night.
It ain't that I'm wantin'
Anything you never gave before.
It's just that I'll be sleepin' soon,
It'll be too dark for you to find the door.
But if you got to go,
It's all right.
But if you got to go, go now,
Or else you gotta stay all night.

Bob Dylan | In The Summertime | /b/bob+dylan/in+the+summertime_20021537.html | I was in your presence for an hour or so
Or was it a day?
I truly don't know
Where the sun never set, where the trees hung low
By that soft and shining sea
Did you respect me for what I did
Or what I didn't do, or keeping it hid?
Did I lose my mind when I tried to get rid
Of everything you see?
In the summertime, ah in the summertime
In the summertime, when you were with me.
I got the heart and you got the blood
We cut through iron and we cut through mud
Then came the warning that was before the flood
That set everybody free
Fools they made a mock of sin
Our loyalty they tried to win
But you were closer to me than my next of kin
When they didn't want to know or see.
In the summertime, ah in the summertime
In the summertime, when you were with me.
Strangers, they meddled in our affairs
Poverty and shame were theirs
But all that suffering was not to be compared
With the glory that is to be
And I'm still carrying the gift you gave
It's a part of me now, it's been cherished and saved
It'll go with me unto the grave
And into eternity.
In the summertime, ah in the summertime
In the summertime, when you were with me.

Can't buy a thrill

Leanin' on the window sill
Well, if I die
On top of the hill
And if I don't make it
You know my baby will.
Don't the moon look good, mama
Shinin' through the trees?
Don't the brakeman look good, mama
Flaggin down the "Double E"?
Don't the sun look good
Goin' down over the sea?
Don't my gal look fine
When she's comin' after me?
Now the wintertime is coming
The windows are filled with frost
I went to tell everybody
But I could not get across
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby
I don't wanna be your boss
Don't say I never warned you
When your train gets lost.

But, the answer is easy if you practice orally.

There must be 50 ways to eat your lover.
50 ways to eat your lover.
Lie her flat on her back, Jack.
Go down on a clam, Sam.
Use a vibrating toy, Roy, just listen to me.
Lick the alphabet, Chet.
Don't get your muck-diving suit wet.
More capital T, Lee, to satisfy me.
I said I treat that act with the utmost disdain.
To go south with the mouth, I'm sorry, I refrain.
But if you insist, then would you please explain about
The 50 ways to eat your lover?
50 ways to eat your lover.
Just kiss on the trim, Jim.
Pucker up on a bee, Steve.
Eat a piece of that pie, Guy, now listen to me.
Dive on a muff, Duff.
Just give it enough touch.
More capital T, Lee, to satisfy me.

(Stairway To Heaven - Led Zeppelin)
There's a lady who goes
To the store that won't close
And she's shopping at 7 Eleven
Down the aisle she sees
Ding-dongs, beer, and Friskies
And a Snickers really satisfies her
Ooooh make my Slurpy
If there's a penny on the counter
You can use it
Please pay inside before pumping gas
Dear Lebanese cashier how I wish
You spoke English
I just bought a Big Gulp from Ahmed
Ahmed
(Greetings!
Perhaps you would be enjoying a beef jerky with your purchase of Hustler
magazine.
Do you require a spoon straw?)
And you will find one down the road
Coffee and cigarettes to go
Twinkies from here to Tokyo
They've been robbed eight times in a row
And the fluorescent lights glow
Microwave your burrito
And she's shopping at 7 Eleven

It's there in his whiz
(Oh is he smokin' crack)
Oh my it's hard to say
But it's certain that twitchin'
All night and day
If you want to know
If it's in his nose
It's in his piss
(That's where it is)
Oh yeah
It's in his whiz
(And if it is)
He'll be dismissed
(No slap on the wrist)

Bob Rivers | Jingle Hells Bells | /b/bob+rivers/jingle+hells+bells_20225224.html | Ho Ho Ho
Ho Ho Ho
Like Guns N Roses with Axel Rose spittin'
Ozzie's black eyes and the bats that he's bitten
Big Marshall stacks and a broken E-string
These are a few of my favorite things
Ho Ho Ho
Penthouse apartments and twelve in a hot tub
Drinking Jack Daniels while getting a backrub
Little gold chains pinned to brass nipple rings
These are a few of my favorite things
We like bar fights
We like nose rings
We like eating snails
We always indulge in our favorite things
No wonder our skin's so pale
Girls in black leather with tight little tushes
Tattoos on big bosoms of prickly rose bushes
Silver stretch limos that come when I ring
These are a few of my favorite things
We like bar fights
We like nose rings
We like eating snails
We always indulge in our favorite things
No wonder our skin's
Jingle hell's bells

Bob Rivers | Middle Aged Wasteline | /b/bob+rivers/middle+aged+wasteline_20739980.html | (Baba O'Riley - The Who)
I eat Mrs. Fields
I snack between meals
You can see my crack above my Levis
I don't need to diet
To prove I'm light
And I don't peel the skin off of my chicken
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Deep fry
Don't exercise
And grow that middle age waistline
It salivates my glands
To smell a fresh roast ham
So put out the butter and pass the rolls right over
A second helping here
A hefty mug of beer
Let's get some dinner before the food gets colder
Middle age waistline
I got a spandex waistband
Middle age waistline oh yeah
Not a crumb gets wasted
My belts busted!

Bob Rivers | Mr. Magoo | /b/bob+rivers/mr+magoo_20263041.html | Got a flat in Timbuktu
Waiting for AAA
And I saw that single headlight through the rain
Flagged the geezer in the car down,
He was going the wrong way
We sped away and left rubber on all four lanes
He pulled a quick you-turn,
And hit a pickup from Montana
While plowin' down a fire hydrant too
Windshield wipers slappin' time
As he committed several traffic crimes
This man's like a one man wreckin' crew
Speedin's just a little bit of what he put me through
He went off the road and hit a tree
Yeah drivin' can't be easy when you're 4 foot 2.
Drivin's not that difficult to do,
But it's difficult to do if you're Mr. Magoo
When we drove right through a coal mine
And hit a school bus filled with nuns
We dragged along a string of traffic poles
Through all kinds of weather
Through eighteen hit and runs
I still love that baby
Kept us on the run
One day he lost his specs
Oh lord! He let 'em slip away
Still lookin' for them glasses
I hope he finds them.
Well I'd trade all of my tomorrows for some Dramamine today
I just hope they know which body bag is mine.
Speedin's just a little bit of what he put me through
His drivin', you know it scared the pee right out of me, yeah
He' s swervin' and he's weaving', and he doesn't have a clue
You know divan's not that difficult to do
But it's difficult to do if you're Mr. Magoo
Oh, lucky for us I know a little used shortcut
Oh look out, oh look out,
Oh look out, oh look out,
Oh look out, watch out now
Mr. Magoo.

O. J. Nobody uses a cellular phone 20 feet away from their house. Come on!

Bob Rivers | On A Horse With Hussein | /b/bob+rivers/on+a+horse+with+hussein_20739981.html | (Horse With No Name - America)
In the aftermath of the jihad
We were looking for lowlife scum
There were bombs and guns
In caves and things
But Osama must have sprouted some wings
The next thing we saw was a videotape
And the proof
It left no doubt
The heat was hot
But the trails been cold
And Bin-Laden has not been fun
He could be ridin' through the desert
On a horse with Hussein
It felt good to get out of the caves
In the desert you can make up a fake name
And there ain't no bombs
For to give you no pain
With his beard shaved
In the desert sun
Osama begins to turn to red
In the sun's rays
You know It ain't no fun
He's gonna need a another towel for his head
Some Groucho Marx glasses
And a nose that sticks out
Is the perfect disguise
It's been said
Avoid the city life
And don't make a sound
Or the Marines will fill you with lead
He could be ridin' through the desert
On a horse with Hussein
It felt good to get out of the caves
In the desert you can make up a fake name
And there ain't no bombs
For to give you no pain

That Prince Charles and Lady Di were through.
Was waiting in line at the grocery store.
Took a peek at the dirt about Demi Moore.
And it took me by surprise I must say
When I found out the Pope was gay.
I read it in the tabloids.
Elvis Presley's doing just fine.
They put it in the tabloids.
Got a look at Fergi's boobs, my my.
Honey, honey, yeah.
You know JFK didn't really die.
They got a picture and he looks all right.
And Ross Perot's hanging out with ET.
This woman had a kid at a hundred and three.
And you could have seen it all for yourself
'Cause it's right there upon the shelf.
Oh, I read it in the tabloids.
You know Madonna used to be a boy.
I saw it in the tabloids
Right next to a cure for hemorrhoids.

Bob Rivers | Rusty Chevrolet | /b/bob+rivers/rusty+chevrolet_21004072.html | Dashing through the snow In my rusty Chevrolet
Down the road I go, Sliding all the way
I need new piston rings I need some new snow tires
My car is held together By a piece of chicken wire
Rust and smoke the heater's broke
The door just blew away
I light a match to see the dash
And then I start to pray... hey!
The frame is bent, the muffler went,
But the radio's OK
Oh what fun it is to drive this rusty Chevrolet
I went to the store To get some Christmas cheer
I just passed up my left front tire and it's getting
Hard to steer
Skidding down the highway Right past the county cops
I had to drag my swampers To get the car to stop
Rust and smoke the heater's broke
The door just blew away
I light a match to see the dash
And then I start to pray... hey!
The frame is bent, the muffler went,
But the radio's OK
Oh what fun it is to drive this rusty Chevrolet
Bouncing through the snow drifts In a big blue cloud of
Smoke
People laugh as I drive by I wonder what's the joke
I got to get to Wal-Mart To pick up the layaway
Cause Santa Clause is coming soon In his big old rusty
Sleigh.
Rust and smoke the heater's broke
The door just blew away
I light a match to see the dash
And then I start to pray... hey!
The frame is bent, the muffler went,

So I just walked inside
I took two steps and realized
I'd been taken for a ride
I heard high voices turned and found
The place was occupied
By two nuns, three old ladies and a nurse
What could be worse
Than two nuns, three old ladies and a nurse?
The restroom door said gentlemen
It must have been a gag
As soon as I walked in there
I ran into some old hag
She sprayed me with a can of mace
And smacked me with her bag
I could tell this just wouldn't be my day
What can I say?
It was just turning out to be day
The restroom door said gentlemen
And I would like to find
The crummy little creep who had the nerve
To switch the signs
'Cause I got two black eyes
And one high heel up my behind
Now I can't sit with comfort and joy
Boy oh boy
No I'll never sit with comfort and joy

And a goatee,

If He looked spaced out

And yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah...
What if God smoked cannabis?
Hit the bung like some of us?
Drove a tie-dyed microbus,
And he subscribed to Rolling Stone?
When God made this place,
In the beginning,
Did He plant any seeds?
Or did he put them there for Adam and Eve,
So they'd be hungry for the apple that the snake
Was always offering?
And yeah, yeah... God rolls great,
And yeah, yeah, God he smells good,
And yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah...
What if God smoked cannabis?
Do you suppose he had a buzz
When he made the platypus
When he created earth, our home?
Does He like Pearl Jam or the Stones?
And do you think He rolls His own
Up there in heaven on the throne?
And when the saints go marching home,
Does he just sit and smoke a bone

About five foot six
Who ain't into glamour

Stepping dynamite
Who's gonna take me for granted
In the heat of the night
Come on baby
Don't run away
Look here in my face
Be it night or day
I ain't got no money
But I sure got a whole lotta love
Well I'm walking down the street
And my heart's feeling heavy
Swaying with the beat
'Cause I'm more than just ready
She's looking at me
I can feel it in my bones
Step right on up
And I'll be taking you home
Don't turn away
Look here in my face
Be it night or day
I ain't got no money
But I sure got a whole lot of love
A whole lot of love
Well I'm looking for a woman
Who's looking for a man
Who's looking for a time

Stepping dynamite
Who's gonna take me for granted
In the heat of the night
Come on baby don't run away
Look here in my face
Be it night or day

Brace yourself now
And take a deep breath
Grob a hold of something
Hold on tight

His stuff is selling out like never before
He finally had to up and close the store
All the boys were getting ready to fight

Bob Seger | Black Night | /b/bob+seger/black+night_20021912.html | He'll seem to come on with a vengeance,
You'll think that you've been wasting time.
You'll think that you've been discussing history
And he'll have left you far behind.
Ah, but you must realize he needs you
To keep himself from going blind,
And when the black night falls upon you,
You'll find it easy to be kind... Kind.
The stars may shimmer in the black sky,
The wind may rustle in the trees.
You may be worried he may psych you,
You might be praying on your knees.
Ah, but when you realize he needs you
And when you finally take some time,
The cool black night will fall upon you,
You'll find it easy to unwind.
Hey, the moon may rise on the misty mountain,
You'll wish you never made the climb.
But when the black night's finally with you,
You'll find it easy to be kind,
You'll find it easy to unwind,
You'll find it easy to be blind.

He gonna have to come and talk to me
Said, hey Bo Diddley
Hey now, Bo Diddley
Hey Bo Diddley

Use a cobra snake for a necktie
Got a brand new house on the roadside child
Made out of rattlesnake hide
Brand new chimney on top
Made out of human skulls
Come and take a little walk with me, Arlene
Tell me, who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Arlene took me by my hand
Said, "Cool it, Robert, you know you're my man."
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?

Down the alley we was swingin' through
Lord, I heard just what I seen
Who do you love?
Who do you love?

Bob Seger | Boomtown Blues | /b/bob+seger/boomtown+blues_20021989.html | Southern sun
Ridin' high
Winter nights
Warm and dry
You've earned your space buddy
You've done your time
How come you've got no
Peace of mind
Lots of work
Everywhere
Lots of money honey
Gettin' your share
The folks back home say
They'd love to be in your shoes so
How come you've got those
Boomtown blues
You can't miss that freezin' rain
You'd have to be insane
To head back north
And go through all that again
No chill in the air
No morning dew
No change of seasons
The sky always seems so blue
The earth ain't black and
The wind ain't cold
All of a sudden now
You feel so old
Somethin's wrong
And it's cuttin' deep
You're feelin' restless and it's
Hard to sleep
Look what you win but
Look what you lose
Stuck here in Heaven
With these Boomtown blues

I held my hand out to feel the rain
Just a light rain
Almost a sun shower
Makin'all things shine again
And I felt like I belonged
I felt so strong
As I walked on
There was rhythm
And there was order
There was a balance
There was a flow
There was patience
Indulgence
There was a power
I could not know
And I felt it all made sense
The innocence
The permanence
I took my young son to the river
I held his hand out to feel the rain

There's a highway
A lonesome stretch of gray
It runs between us
And takes me far away
Out in the distance
Always within reach
There's a crossroad
Where all the victims meet
I close my eyes
And see her face
It's all I want to see
And deep inside
It still amazes me
Even now
She's all that I want
She's all that I need
Even now
She's givin' it all
She's givin' it free
Even now
When everything's right
When everything's wrong
Even now
She's keepin' me straight
She's keepin' me strong
She gets to me
Somehow
Even now
And through the darkness
Through all the endless days
Through all the changes
The pointless one act plays
I can still make it
I can still stand tall
Cause I've got my girl
To get me through it all
Through all the doubt
And all the fear
And all that I can't say
Still somehow
She'll help me find my way
Even now
She's still in my heart
She's still in my soul
Even now
She's still on my mind
Wherever I go
Even now
Through all of my days
And all of my nights
Even now
She's keepin' it real
She's keepin' it right
She gets to me
Somehow
Even now
She's all that I want
She's all that I need
Even now
She's givin' it all
She's givin' it free
When everything's right
When everything's wrong
She's keepin' it real
She's keepin' it strong

To make a buck I work overtime
Dear Sir letters keep coming in the mail
I work my back till it's racked with pain
The boss can't even recall my name
I show up late and I'm docked
It never fails
I feel like just another
Spoke in a great big wheel
Like a tiny blade of grass
In a great big field
To workers I'm just another drone
To Ma Bell I'm just another phone
I'm just another statistic on a sheet
To teachers I'm just another child
To irs I'm just another file
I'm just another consensus on the street
Gonna cruise out of this city
Head down to the sea
Gonna shout out at the ocean
Hey it's me
And I feel like a number
Feel like a number
Feel like a stranger
A stranger in this land
I feel like a number
I'm not a number
I'm not a number

Here comes old rosie she's looking mighty fine
Here comes hot nancy she's steppin' right on time
There go the street lights bringin on the night
Here come the men faces hidden from the light
All through the shadows they come and they go
With only one thing in common
They got the fire down below
Here comes the rich man in his big long limousine
Here comes the poor man all you got to have is green
Here comes the banker and the lawyer and the cop
One thing for certain it ain't never gonna stop
When it all gets too heavy
That's when they come and go
With only one thing in common
They got the fire down below
It happens out in vegas happens in moline
On the blue blood streets of boston
Up in berkeley and out in queens
And it went on yesterday and it's going on tonight
Somewhere there's somebody ain't treatin' somebody right
And he's looking out for rosie and she's looking mighty fine
And he's walking the streets for nancy
And he'll find her everytime
When the street light flicker bringing on the night
Well they'll be slipping into darkness slipping out of sight
All through the midnight
Watch 'em come and watch 'em go
With only one thing in common
They got the fire down below

Bob Seger | Fire Inside | /b/bob+seger/fire+inside_20021922.html | Words and music by bob seger
There's a hard moon risin' on the streets tonight
There's a reckless feeling in your heart as you head out tonight
Through the concrete canyons to the midtown light
Where the latest neon promises are burning bright
Past the open windows on the darker streets
Where unseen angry voices flash and children cry
Past the phony posers with their worn out lines
The tired new money dressed to the nines
The low life dealers with their bad designs
And the dilettantes with their open minds
You're out on the town, safe in the crowd
Ready to go for the ride
Searching the eyes, looking for clues
There's no way you can hide
The fire inside
Well you've been to the clubs and the discotheques
Where they deal one another from the bottom of a deck of promises
Where the cautious loners and emotional wrecks
Do an acting stretch as a way to hide the obvious
And the lights go down and they dance real close
And for one brief instant they pretend they're safe and warm
Then the beat gets louder and the mood is gone
The darkness scatters as the lights flash on
They hold one another just a little too long
And they move apart and then move on
On to the street, on to the next
Safe in the knowledge that they tried
Faking the smile, hiding the pain
Never satisfied
The fire inside
Fire inside
Now the hour is late and he thinks you're asleep
You listen to him dress and you listen to him leave
Like you knew he would
You hear his car pull away in the street
Then you move to the door and you lock it when
He's gone for good
Then you walk to the window and stare at the moon
Riding high and lonesome through a starlit sky
And it comes to you how it all slips away
Youth and beauty are gone one day
No matter what you dream or feel or say
It ends in dust and disarray
Like wind on the plains, sand through the glass
Waves rolling in with the tide
Dreams die hard and we watch them erode
But we cannot be denied
The fire inside

Bob Seger | I Wanna Get Lost In Your Rock N' Roll | /b/bob+seger/i+wanna+get+lost+in+your+rock+n+roll_20644223.html | Day after day I'm more confused
But I look for the light through the pouring rain
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
Oh I'm feeling strange, ain't it a shame
Ohh give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock n' roll
And drift away
Give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock n' roll
And drift away
I'm getting the feelin that I'm wasting my time
You don't understand the things I do
The World outside looks so unkind
I'm countin' on you, to carry me through
Ohh give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock n' roll
And drift away
Give me the beat boy and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock n' roll
And drift away
And when my mind is free
No melody can move me
When I'm feelin blue
I guess I'm coming through and soothe me
Thanks for the joy that you've given me
I want you to klnow I believe in your soul
Let me rhyme in harmony
You helped me along, you're makin me strong
Ohh give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock n' roll
And drift away
Give me the beat boy and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock n' roll
And drift away
Ohh give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock n' roll
And drift away
Give me the beat boy and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock n' roll
And drift away

Bob Seger | In Your Time | /b/bob+seger/in+your+time_20021924.html | In your time
The innocence will fall away
In your time
The mission bells will toll
All along
The corridors and river beds
There'll be sign
In your time
Towering waves
Will crash across your southern capes
Massive storms
Will reach your eastern shores
Fields of green
Will tumble through your summer days
By design
In your time
Feel the wind
And set yourself the bolder course
Keep your heart
As open as a shrine
You'll sail the perfect line
And after all
The dead ends and the lessons learned
After all
The stars have turned to stone
There'll be peace
Across the great unbroken void
All benign
In your time
You'll be fine
In your time

Bob Seger | Innervenus Eyes | /b/bob+seger/innervenus+eyes_20525632.html | Innervenus eye, the fool performs the sky
Innervenus eye, cause every little heartache whines
Lord, she looked, she looked, she looked so good
She looked, she looked, she looked so good
Innervenus blue, the fools are not so few
Innervenus blue, corporations ran first too
She looked, she looked at me,
She looked at me so good
Looked so good, looked so good to me yeah
Cause you see, I'm free
Well I'm swimmin' in a sea, Ohhh
She makes her story short for double standard listeners
Deep inside of me, she knows
The mirror of her heart is sort of like her sister
And aviating rhyme and role
Innervenus chain
Pills won't ease the pain
Innervenus brain
Cause the universe is sane
Oh but she looked so good, looked so good to me
She's all alone, she's on her own
The wind has blown the heart has grown

Bob Seger | Ivory | /b/bob+seger/ivory_20335792.html | You were born with a face that would let you get your way
You know you're much too fine and free, Ivory
Yeah you had everything you wanted child, that is until the day
You've been dressed in a vest, every minute of your day
You walk into a room, stand in a lit shade
Is your timer too high for me, Ivory
Ivory
How does it feel to be so high
Ivory
How long how long will it take for you to cry
Ivory
I'm in need
Ivory
I'll touch your soul, might even touch your brain
Ivory

I know your blind
Come back come back and see
Ivory
So good to me

Bob Seger | James, Jesse | /b/bob+seger/james+jesse_20593948.html | When Jesse James was a lad
He killed many a man
And he roamed over the Scarsdale range
Robbin' from the rich
And givin' to the poor
He was dark and cold and full of rage
Oh yes he was, sing with me
Poor Jesse had a wife
To mourn for his life
And three children
They were oh so brave
But that dirty little coward
He went and shot Mr. Howard
Laid poor Jesse in his grave yeah
It was on a Saturday night
When Jesse was at home
Talking to old railroad Jed
Along come Robert Ford
Like a theif in the night
And he shot poor Jesse in the back
Poor Jesse had a wife
To mourn for his life
Three children
They were oh so brave
But that dirty little coward
He went and shot Mr. Howard
Laid poor Jesse in his grave yeah
He lays
Six feet under the ground

Bob Seger | Jumpin' Humpin' Hipocrit | /b/bob+seger/jumpin+humpin+hipocrit_20706226.html | Hey, got my hands in my back pocket
I'm a jumpin'
Unscrewing the light from the socket
And I'd rather stand than sit
Puttin' all the people in the dark
Tellin' everyone good night bye bye
I put the sound
Carryin' the truth in my back pocket
My hands are holdin' me down
I've been waiting for people to ask me
What have you found
I'm a jumpin' humpin' hip hypocrit
I was dead before a gypsy
She held my head and
Fought with my boots till my eyes turned red
I'm a jumpin' humpin' hip hypocrit
Oh I'd rather stand than sit
I've been down to the gutter
Hopin' I've lived on honey and butter
But with me a life's a game
I call insane
I'm not the one to blame
I'm called insane
I was hung when I was young
I was named insane
I'm a jumpin' humpin' hip hypocrit
I broke all the laws before my age
I'm a jumpin' humpin' hip hypocrit
Yeah I'd rather stand than sit
I'm a jumpin' humpin' hip hypocrit
I turn around to see the clown
But with me a life's a game
I call insane
I'm not the one to blame
I'm called insane
I'm a jumpin' humpin' hip hypocrit
I'd rather stand than sit
I'm a jumpin' humpin' hip hypocrit
I'd rather stand than sit
I put the sound

Bob Seger | Lennie Johnson | /b/bob+seger/lennie+johnson_20525629.html | Here we go tape rolling
Sgt. Pepper take 6
He doesn't know which way to go
Even though he's made the dough
Lennie Johnson's lost his way
Lennie Johnson's lost his way
He's lost his mind
??????????????
Lennie Johnson's lost his way
He spent his time with words of rhyme
He's rang the chime
We must find
Lennie Johnson's lost his way
Lennie Johnson's lost his way
He's lost his mind
He had it yesterday
Lennie Johnson's lost his way
An apple a day keeps the doctor away
I've heard them say
Not today

Bob Seger | Let It Rock | /b/bob+seger/let+it+rock_20021971.html | In the heat of the day, down in mobile, alabama
Workin' on the railroad with a steel drivin' hammer
Tryin' to get some money, get some brand new shoes
Tryin to find a lady, chase away my blues
Hot and wasted lord sweatin' in the sun
'cause I'm not a foreman 'till my work is all done
Later in the evening when the sun is sinking low
I'll be out there waitin' for the whistle to blow
Sittin' in the teepee smokin' out on the track
Rollin' them bones (meaning dice) till my foreman get back
Suddenly I hear the breakman up and shout
There's a non-stop train comin' two miles out
Everybody jumpin' and a scrambling around
Tryin to get the line an get the teepee down
Railroad owner's 'bout to go insane
Tryin' to get the workers out the way of the train
Here come the engineer honk his horn
He got a non-stop train, we got to let it roll on!

Bob Seger | Like A Rock | /b/bob+seger/like+a+rock_20021948.html | Stood there boldly
Sweatin', in the sun
Felt like a million
Felt like number one
The height of summer
I',d never felt that strong
Like a rock
I was eighteen
Didn't have a care
Working for peanuts
Not a dime to spare
But I was lean and
Solid everywhere
Like a rock
My hands were steady
My eyes were clear and bright
My walk had purpose
My steps were quick and light
And I held firmly
To what I felt was right
Like a rock
Like a rock, I was strong as I could be
Like a rock, nothin', ever got to me
Like a rock, I was something to see
Like a rock
And I stood arrow straight
Unencumbered by the weight
Of all these hustlers and their schemes
I stood proud, I stood tall
High above it all
I still believed in my dreams
Twenty years now
Where',d they go?
Twenty years
I don',t know
I sit and I wonder sometimes
Where they',ve gone
And sometimes late at night
When I',m bathed in the firelight
The moon comes callin', a ghostly white
And I recall
I recall
Like a rock, standin', arrow straight
Like a rock, chargin', from the gate
Like a rock, carryin', the weight
Like a rock
Like a rock, the sun upon my skin
Like a rock, hard against the wind
Like a rock, I see myself again
Like a rock
