She pays no mind to methods you employ
She wants a big city man, not a country boy Go get your long hair cut Scrape the mood off your boots Wash the hell behind those eyes Buy yourself some tailored suits Buttermilk Boy better gain some pounds Before she lets her knickers down She wants a musclely man all gristle and bone Makes no difference how you strive She couldn't care if you're dead or alive A burly, beefy, strong arm man Is all she cares to meet Before you ever heard the word guitar Your mother used to see her as a star Yes, she spent her teens In chauffeured limousines And I heard tell you can't get insured For a clapped out '45 drop head Ford Buttermilk Boy better gain some pounds Before she lets her knickers down She wants a musclely man all gristle and bone She'll tear you down like a steer comin' through Like I said she ain't no use to you A lumpy hairy mundaine brain Is all she cares to make So let me put you straight Marry farm-yard Kate She weights two hundred pounds it's said But she'll keep you warm in bed Buttermilk Boy better gain some pounds Before she lets her knickers down She wants a musclely man all gristle and bone So you think you know where it's about But she will suck you in and then she'll blow you out Yes, Kate will keep you satisfied Until your dying day In chauffeured limousines |

Here I am with dust in my pants
I don't know what to do Been on the road for almost a week I just wanna be with you Makes no difference where I am Feeling hard to breathe If I thought you felt the same Wouldn't be so bad for me Thought I know all about it from the start Took a short cut to nowhere To make it feel alright Got to cut this travelling out I hate sayin' goodbye We leave the day we arrive Or I'll wanna know why Crowing closer, comin' in out of the dark Here I am with dust in my pants I don't know what to do Been on the road for almost a week I just wanna be with you |

Can I face tomorrow
With the news you bring me My soul feels cold like ice A pinprick makes no pain Hear me, listen, help me I felt our thing change From love to something else How can it plague my mind A pinprick makes no pain Hear me, listen, help me I shall find myuself But I must have the time To sow the seeds of something new Farmer plough the field Harvest all you can A corn field smells so sweet A pinprick makes no pain Hear me, listen, help me But to follow the weaver of dreams Behind the sun that knows, it seems that I am foresworn - a naked troubadour I sit at court and I sing To the Princess of Beauty and Light She favours me though I'm merely A minstrel of the night There on my right Sits the King with his clowns He pays to laugh While his queen lives on downs And the smile on his brow is the crown Morning bird sing, fill my ears With the joy of our sorrow unmasked Lend me your wings for the sunrays of dawn Are here to last I take my leave, as I leave I must take All I have seen in my dream - then I wake And it is as safe as yesterday is |

You smell like a field
Cow-shirt in midsummer sun I must have been mad But I gave you all the bread that I had Your mother's a freak She made me weak in my knees You're under her thumb Why don't you pack your bags and run Isn't it sad I pity you now I'm not there I hope you pull through But you're locked in your social zoo I tried to re-arrange your head And show you where you were But you were too sick Then your mother bust her guf And tried to make me think like her But I was too quick You thought I was hooked Showing me off to your friends Wearing me like a badge Was the only kick you ever had Please shave your legs Put down that horse and behave I seen it before I ain't never gonna see it no more You whole domestick scene And the way your life was run Made me so sick That a nifty little number like you Could show anyone a few tricks |

Thinking of the past I feel my life
Is slipping by at such a speed Things I knew have gone and those I loved I look for granted and deceived Call me anything you will I'll hide behind a purple pill And though it seems I'm laughing still I'm crying Looking from my window I see winter Almost too bare to believe People change with seasons And I wonder if it's my turn to receive But they avoid the things I ask Or quickly change their style of mask The faith I had is fading fast I'm dying Seems to me the only way to be Is like a business man And have bad colours round my head Getting drunk to find some peace of mind and consolation But there's still the problem of what happens when I'm dead |

When I was just a kid back in Abeline
I had to use a gun, well for my own sake I shot a man down when I was just eighteen And from that day they call me Shaky Jake. Shaky Jake, boy, what you gonna do ? Texas Rangers coming after you Here's the price you pay for one mistake So get off the streets, it's Shaky Jake. Ma says I was born under bad sign I was lookin' for the chance to make or break I cut my teeth on a brandin' iron I'm the devil's own son, I'm Shaky Jake. Shaky Jake, boy, what you gonna do ? Texas Rangers coming after you Here's the price you pay for one mistake So get off the streets, it's Shaky Jake. I keep on the run now I travel by night I don't need anyone But someone, one day, somewhere's gonna see me right. Dig a hole about six foot deep Pray the Lord my soul to take I don't want flowers and nobody's gonna weep Here lies that outlaw, Shaky Jake. Oh Shaky Jake, boy, what you gonna do ? Texas Rangers coming after you Here's the price you pay for one mistake So get off the streets, it's Shaky Jake. Shakey Jake Shakey Jake Shakey Jake Shakey Jake Shakey Jake Shakey Jake. Oh Shaky Jake, boy, what you gonna do ? Texas Rangers coming after you Here's the price you pay for one mistake So get off the streets, it's Shaky Jake. |

I, I love you
And I love the sun too They make bright my light The light of love, the light of life I know just how good it can be. My past leaves a trail, bitter and sweet Demands on my life were hard to meet Didn't know how or the reason for But when I found my love, I found much more I know just how good it can be. You're aware, what I ain't got But what I got is yours to share. My how it's good to see The little things that never used to be Now it's of some concern Like the old man say : 'If you live you learn' I know just how good it can be. I, I love you And I love the sun too They, they make bright my light With the light of love, the light of life I know just how good it can be. |

Tell me, have you ever seen me sad before ?
With thought of more than just a laugh ? You know that all I hope to do is make you understand Just what I am and what I'm trying to say. I'm gonna try, I'm gonna try To make you talk to me I'm gonna cry, I'm gonna cry The hidden fear, you won't see. And then if when I try, though I start to fall Down along the way Will you pick me up or would you put me down ? Surely sir, I really could not say, oh yeah. I'm gonna try, I'm gonna try To make you talk to me I'm gonna cry, I'm gonna cry The hidden fear, you won't see. And then I know I try to fly Like bird with broken wing And I'm running before I can walk I need, I need someone to take my hand Lead me through the wall. I'm gonna try, I'm gonna try To make you talk to me I'm gonna cry, I'm gonna cry The hidden fear, the hidden fear, you won't see, yeah .. |

When she turns away I cry
All I want to know is why Shut the light out, close your eyes When you wake her, say goodbye. What does she do when I hide ? When can I be by her side ? Yes again, again, again. Strap me in a ship that flies Hit the ground, you breathe a sigh Kiss the ground, she smiles hello Time apart just makes love grow. What does she say to make me feel good ? Now that I'm here by her side Once again. I'll give you all I have Don't you see I'll give my life ? Autumn comes again so near Leaves are falling fast I fear Turn the heat on, wipe your eyes What you have can never die. Now is the time that I know why, know why When can I be by her side ? Yes again. I'll give you all I have Don't you see I'll give my life ? I'll give my life for you I'll give my life for you. |
