Well, the cop made the showdown He was sure he was right He had all of the lowdown From the bank heist last night His best friend was the robber And his wife was a thief All the children were killers They couldn't get no relief The bungalow was surrounded When a voice loud and clear Said, Come on out with your hands up Or we'll blow you out of here. There was a face in the window The TV cameras rolled Then they cut to the announcer And the story was told. The artist looked at the producer The producer sat back He said, What we have got here Is a perfect track But we don't have a vocal And we don't have a song If we could get these things accomplished Nothin' else could go wrong. So he balanced the ashtray As he picked up the phone And said, Send me a songwriter Who's drifted far from home And make sure that he's hungry Make sure he's alone Send me a cheeseburger And a new Rolling Stone. Yeah. There's still crime in the city, Said the cop on the beat, I don't know if I can stop it I feel like meat on the street They paint my car like a target I take my orders from fools Meanwhile some kid blows my head off Well, I play by their rules That's why I'm doin' it my way I took the law in my hands So here I am in the alleyway A wad of cash in my pants I get paid by a ten year old He says he looks up to me There's still crime in the city But it's good to be free. Yeah. Now I come from a family That has a broken home Sometimes I talk to Daddy On the telephone When he says that he loves me I know that he does But I wish I could see him I wish I knew where he was But that's the way all my friends are Except maybe one or two Wish I could see him this weekend Wish I could walk in his shoes But now I'm doin' my own thing Sometimes I'm good, then I'm bad Although my home has been broken It's the best home I ever had Yeah. Well, I keep gettin' younger My life's been funny that way Before I ever learned to talk I forgot what to say I sassed back to my mom I sassed back to my teacher I got thrown out of Bible school For sassin' back at the preacher Then I grew up to be a fireman Put out every fire in town Put out anything smokin' But when I put the hose down The judge sent me to prison He gave me life without parole Wish I never put the hose down Wish I never got old. |

Don't cry my sweet girl
Nothin' I say is written in stone Don't cry my sweet love You won't really be alone. I'll help you pack your things I'll walk with you out to the car I'll hold on to the ring I won't forget the way things are. My sweet love. Your disappointed eyes Are haunting me like my big lies I see you glaring now I see you staring in the fire. My sweet love. Don't cry my sweet girl Nothin' I say is written in stone Don't cry my sweet love You won't really be alone. My sweet love, my sweet love. Don't cry my sweet girl You won't really be alone Don't cry my sweet girl You won't really be alone Don't cry my sweet girl You won't really be alone. |

Though the river flows
Gently to the sea He was on the shore Rooted like a tree She was here and there Riding on the waves Through it all she heard his call And gave it all she gave. And though their love was hangin' on a limb She taught him how to dance and start again And though their love was hangin' on a limb She taught him how to dance. And when the melody Through the window called It echoed in the courtyard And whispered in the halls He played it through the night She knew he had to go There was something about freedom He thought he didn't know. And though their love was hangin' on a limb She taught him how to dance and start again And though their love was hangin' on a limb She taught him how to dance. Though the river flowed Gently to the sea He was on the shore Rooted like a tree She was here and there Riding on the waves Through it all she heard his call And gave it all she gave. And though their love was hangin' on a limb She taught him how to dance. |

In the crystal ball
The gypsy sees the villa The riders on the hill The fire in the fields She sees the mission bell Swinging in the silence Now the shooting starts The bullets pierce the hearts The seqoritas crying at the well. Up in the Gold Hotel The money hits the table The heavies all are there That's why the deal's goin' down Beautiful women all dressed in Diamonds and sable Down upon the street Beside a garbage heap A Mariachi band begins to play. Somewhere a blues guitar Plays echoes in the alleyway The Tijuana dawn Claims another day The golden sun Rises on the runway The pilot understands The money changes hands Inside the jet the briefcase snaps. Goodbye. In Eldorado town There lives a great bullfighter His eyes are screaming blue His hair is red as blood And when the gate goes up The crowd gets so excited And he comes dancin' out Dressed in gold lami He kills the bull and lives another day. |

You are my special one
Made my heart come all undone We've been havin' too much fun Now someone else Will sleep with tears When he hears What we've done. Oh, the ways of love Oh, the ways of love. Hear my song and hear my heart We'll be gone when the music starts Then we'll never be apart Just you and I Go flyin' by No one to cry That we're gone. Oh, the ways of love Oh, the ways of love. You are my special one Made my heart come all undone We've been havin' too much fun Now someone else Will sleep with tears When he hears What we've done. Oh, the ways of love Oh, the ways of love. |

Wake up all you sleeping beauties
More are being born while you rest They're pipin' music in We all have to sin Someday We all have to sin Someday. Rommel wore a ring on his finger He only took it off when he flew his plane Once he told me why He said we all have to fly Someday We all have to fly Someday. The T.V. preacher can't be bothered With those petty things He stays a step removed so they say He's pipin' music in We all have to sin Someday We all have to sin Someday. Workin' on that great Alaska pipeline Many men were lost in the pipe They went to fuelin' cars How smog might turn to stars Someday Smog might turn to stars Someday. Hold me baby, put your arms around me Give me all the love you have to give Tomorrow won't be late We won't have to wait Someday We won't have to wait Someday. |

They say the neon lights are bright On Broadway They say there's always magic In the air But when you7re walkin' down the street And you ain't had enough to eat The glitter rubs right off And you're nowhere They say the women treat you fine On Broadway But lookin' at them Just gives me the blues How ya gonna make some time When all you got is one thin dime And one thin dime won't even Shine your shoes? They say that I won't last too long On Broadway I'll catch a Greyhound bus for home They all say But they're dead wrong I know they are 'Cause I can play this here guitar I won't quit till I'm a star On Broadway On Broadway On Broadway Give me that crack Give me some of that crack Give me that crack Ahhhhh Broadway |

My life's an open book
You read it on the radio We got nowhere to hide We got nowhere to go But if you still decide That you want to take a ride Meet me at the wrecking ball Wrecking ball Wear something pretty and white And we'll go dancin' tonight Meet me at the wrecking ball Wrecking ball Wear something pretty and white And we'll go dancin' tonight. I see your smoky eyes Right across the bar I've seen that look before Shining from star to star Though I can't take that chance If you got time for one dance Meet me at the wrecking ball Wrecking ball Wear something pretty and white And we'll go dancin' tonight Meet me at the wrecking ball Wrecking ball Wear something pretty and white And we'll go dancin' tonight. The restless line of cars Goes stretchin' down the road But I won't telephone 'Cause you might say hello What is it makes me feel this way? What is it makes me want to say Meet me at the wrecking ball Wrecking ball Wear something pretty and white And we'll go dancin' tonight Meet me at the wrecking ball Wrecking ball Wear something pretty and white And we'll go dancin' tonight. |

Livin' on the edge of night
You know the sun won't go down slow You don't know which drug is right Can't decide which way you wanna go I feel the way you feel 'Cause not so long ago It had a hold on me I couldn't let it go It wouldn't set me free It wouldn't set me free No more, no more, no more. Seemed like the easy thing To let it go for one more day Like singin' the same old song And twistin' the words In a different way Where did the magic go I searched high and low I can't find it no more I can't get it back I can't find it no more I can't find it no more No more, no more, no more, no more. Searchin' for quality Havin' to have the very best Now scroungin' for quantity Never havin' time To do the test That's how the story goes Can't put it down Till the last page I can't put it down I can't put it down I can't put it down. |

When I woke up you were gone
And the sun was on the lawn Empty pillow with perfume on I smelled it. Well, we met in my favorite bar Took a ride in my old car But I still don't know how We made it home. Was I too far gone Too far gone Too far gone For you. We had drugs and we had booze But we still had something to lose And by dawn I wanted To marry you. With our attitudes by day And our secret dreams by night Can we really live our lives That way. Am I too far gone Too far gone Too far gone For you. Was I too far gone Too far gone Too far gone For you. |

There's colors on the street
Red, white and blue People shufflin' their feet People sleepin' in their shoes But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead Don't feel like Satan, but I am to them So I try to forget it, any way I can. Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world. I see a woman in the night With a baby in her hand Under an old street light Near a garbage can Now she puts the kid away, and she's gone to get a hit She hates her life, and what she's done to it There's one more kid that will never go to school Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool. Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world. We got a thousand points of light For the homeless man We got a kinder, gentler, Machine gun hand We got department stores and toilet paper Got styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer Got a man of the people, says keep hope alive Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive. Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world Keep on rockin' in the free world, Keep on rockin' in the free world. |
