Look out boys, 'cause I'm a rollin' stone.
That's what I was when I just left home. I took every secret that I'd ever known And headed for the wall Like a wrecking ball. Started down a little road of sin Playin' bass under a pseudonym. The days were rough, and it's all quite dim, But my mind cuts through it all Like a wrecking ball. Oh, just a little 'Deadhead Who's watching, Who's watching. I's just a little 'Deadhead. Won a dollar on a scholarship. I got tired and let my average slip. And I's a farmer in the pogonip Of a weed that I recall was like a wrecking ball. I met a lovesick daughter of the San Joaquin. She showed me colors I'd never seen And drank the bottom out of my canteen Then left me in the fall Like a wrecking ball. Standin there in the morning mist, A Jack & Coke at the end of my wrist. Yes, I remember when first we kissed, Though it was nothing at all Like a wrecking ball. Hey, boys, a little 'Deadhead Who's watching, Who's watching. I's just a little 'Deadhead, Too much trouble for me to shake Oh, the weather and the blinding ache We was ridin high 'til the eighty-nine quake Hit the Santa Cruz Garden Mall Like a wrecking ball. |

Oh little red bird
Come to my window sill Been so lonesome Shaking that morning chill Oh little red bird Open your mouth and say Been so lonesome Just about flown away So long now I've been out In the rain and snow But winter's come and gone A little bird told me so Oh little blue bird Pearly feather breast Five cold nickels all I got left Oh little blue bird What am I gonna do Five cold nickels Ain't gonna see me through So long now I've been out In the rain and snow But winter's come and gone A little bird told me so Oh little black bird On my wire line Dark as trouble In this heart of mine Poor little black bird Sings a worried song Dark as trouble 'Til winter's come and gone So long now I've been out In the rain and snow But winter's come and gone A little bird told me so So long now I've been out In the rain and snow But winter's come and gone A little bird told me so |

Nowhere man
And the whiskey girl Nowhere man And the whiskey girl They loaded up for A weekend in the underworld I'd take you down Honey if I could I'd take you down Honey if I could We'd find a place In the sunshine We'd be feeling good Don't you know That it ain't a crime Don't you know That it ain't a crime If all the squares And the junkmen Think you're out of line Nowhere man And the whiskey girl Nowhere man and The whiskey girl They loaded up for A weekend in the underworld |

Standing on the corner with a nickel or a dime
There used to be a rail car to take you down the line Too much beer and whiskey to ever be employed And when I got to Nashville, it was too much soldier's joy Wasted on the wayside, wasted on the way If I don't go tomorrow, you know I'm gone today Back, baby, back in time I wanna go back when you were mine Back, baby, back in time I wanna go back when you were mine Black highway all-night ride Watching the times fall away to the side Clear channel way down low Is coming in loud and my mind let go Peaches in the summertime, apples in the fall If I can't have you all the time, I won't have none at all Oh, I wish I was in 'Frisco in a brand new pair of shoes I'm sitting here in Nashville with Norman's Nashville blues So come all you good time rounders listening to my sound And then drink a round to Nashville before they tear it down Back, baby, back in time I wanna go back when you were mine Back, baby, back in time I wanna go back when you were mine Hard weather, driving slow The buggies and the hats in town for the show Oh darling, the songs they played Are all I got left of the love we made Back, baby, back in time I wanna go back when you were mine Back, baby, back in time I wanna go back when you were mine |

Now I was just a girl of two
Now I was just a girl of two With a golden heart and a button shoe The devil had a hold of me The devil had a hold of me I turned my head and I could see The devil had a hold of me There was something wrong with the butcher's boy Was something wrong with the butcher's boy He trembled in his hand and voice The devil had a hold of me The devil had a hold of me The others knew to let him be But the devil had a hold of me Now the tailpipe spit and the engine roared The tailpipe spit and the engine roared I's waving out the Plymouth door And the devil had a hold of me The devil had a hold of me The old folks saw the last they'd see The devil had a hold of me I dreamed last night that my time was done I dreamed last night that my time was done And my soul flew up to the holy son But the devil had a hold of me The devil had a hold of me I snapped back down when he pulled my lead The devil had a hold of me There're those who'll laugh and not believe There're those who'll laugh and not believe Until you feel that touch upon your sleeve The devil had a hold of me The devil had a hold of me I turned my head and I could see The devil had a hold of me I turned my head and I could see The devil had a hold of me |

Put no stone at my head, no flowers on my tomb
No gold plated sign in a marble pillared room The one thing I want when they lay me in the ground When I die tear my stillhouse down Oh tear my stillhouse down, let it go to rust Don't leave no trace of the hiding place Where I made that evil stuff For all my time and money no profit did I see That old copper kettle was the death of me When I was a child way back in the hills I laughed at the men who tended those stills But that old mountain shine, it caught me somehow When I die tear my stillhouse down Oh tear my stillhouse down, let it go to rust Don't leave no trace of the hiding place Where I made that evil stuff For all my time and money no profit did I see That old copper kettle was the death of me Oh tell all your children that Hell ain't no dream 'Cause Satan he lives in my whisky machine And in my time of dying I know where I'm bound So when I die tear my stillhouse down Oh tear my stillhouse down, let it go to rust Don't leave no trace of the hiding place Where I made that evil stuff For all my time and money no profit did I see That old copper kettle was the death of me |

Darling, remember
When you come to me I'm the pretender And not what I'm supposed to be But who could know if I'm a traitor Time's the revelator They caught the katy And left me a mule to ride The fortune lady Came along, she walked beside But every word seemed to date her Time's the revelator The revelator Up in the morning Up and on the ride I drive into Corning And all the spindles whine And every day is getting straighter Time's the revelator The revelator Leaving the valley And fucking out of sight I'll go back to Cali Where I can sleep out every night And watch the waves and move the fader Time's the revelator The revelator Queen of the fakes and imitators Time's the revelator |

All the girls all dance with the boys from the city,
And they don't care to dance with me. Now it ain't my fault that the fields are muddy, And the red clay stains my feet. And it's under my nails and it's under my collar, And it shows on my Sunday clothes. Though I do my best with the soap and the water, But the damned old dirt won't go. But when I pass through the pearly gate, Will my gown be gold instead? Or just a red clay robe with red clay wings, And a red clay halo for my head? Now it's mud in the spring and it's dust in the summer, When it blows in a crimson tide. Until trees and leaves and the cows are the colour, Of the dirt on the mountainside. But when I pass through the pearly gate, Will my gown be gold instead? Or just a red clay robe with red clay wings, And a red clay halo for my head? Now Jordan's banks they're red and muddy, And the rolling water is wide. But I got no boat, so I'll be good and muddy, When I get to the other side. And when I pass through the pearly gate, Will my gown be gold instead? Or just a red clay robe with red clay wings, And a red clay halo for my head? I'll take the red clay robe with the red clay wings, And a red clay halo for my head. |

I got an old V-8 from the year I was born
Don't look like much, just a flat black Ford The engine's clean, I could paint it someday But most of the time I like it this way Don't turn no head, don't catch no eye Just a wind on the road, gonna pass you by Well I used to talk tough, I used to get loud Want to paint my name all over this town The folks lined up just to dog my day Now if i stay quiet, they stay out of my way Don't turn no head, don't catch no eye Just a wind on the road, gonna pass you by I got a brand new plan, I'm gonna help myself 'Cause it's a fat man's town, I'm gonna share the wealth Put the money in the bag, keep your hands in sight Turn around, count to ten, and I go back into the night Don't turn no head, don't catch no eye Just a wind on the road, gonna pass you by Don't come over here, Don't scream don't cry Just a wind on the road, gonna pass you by I got an old V-8 from the year I was born Don't look like much, just a flat black Ford |

Paper wings, all torn and bent
But you made me feel that they were heaven sent Paper wings, not real at all But they took me high enough to really fall Your paper kisses faded too soon Just like a paper rose beneath a paper moon Paper wings, paper wings Oh how could I expect to fly with only paper wings Angels were singing, didn't you hear If only I'd listened close when they whispered in my ear Paper wings, paper wings Oh how could I expect to fly with only paper wings I tried to fly but found that I had only paper wings |

I am an orphan on God's highway
But I'll share my troubles if you go my way I have no mother no father No sister no brother I am an orphan girl I have had friendships pure and golden But the ties of kinship I have not known them I know no mother no father No sister no brother I am an orphan girl But when He calls me I will be able To meet my family at God's table I'll meet my mother my father My sister my brother No more orphan girl Blessed Savior make me willing And walk beside me until I'm with them Be my mother my father My sister my brother I am an orphan girl |

There's a hundred bluebirds
Up above the clouds Putting all the color in the sky And twice as many teardrops There to wash it down Every one's another lullaby But there's only one and only Who could go and leave me lonely There's a world of trouble Trying to take its turn I can hear it shaking underground And half a dozen lessons I might never learn Not until them troubles come around But there's only one and only Who could go and leave me lonely There's a mile of blacktop Where the road begins It takes a time or two to recognize Growing at the roadside Scattered by the wind Are everybody's unsaid sad goodbyes But there's only one and only Who could go and leave me lonely But there's only one and only Who could go and leave me lonely |

One mornin', one mornin' as work I begun
What did I see ridin' out of the sun On the road from Lexington One rider, one rider beatin' the breeze Down on his saddle, low to his knees Comin' through my willow trees Now closer, the terrible work of the gun Was stiffened and black where his blood all had run But I knew my wayward son One mornin', one mornin' the boy of my breast Came to my door unable to rest Even in the arms of death |

A long time ago I left my home
For a job in the fruit trees But I missed those hills with the windy pines For their song seemed to suit me So I sent my wages to my home Said we'd soon be together For the next good crop would pay my way And I would come home forever One more dime to show for my day One more dollar and I'm on my way When I reach those hills, boys I'll never roam One more dollar and I'm going home No work said the boss at the bunk house door There's a freeze on the branches So when the dice came out at the bar downtown I rolled and I took my chances One more dime to show for my day One more dollar and I'm on my way When I reach those hills, boys I'll never roam One more dollar and I'm going home A long time ago I left my home Just a boy passing twenty Could you spare a coin and a Christian prayer For my luck has turned against me One more dime to show for my day One more dollar and I'm on my way When I reach those hills, boys I'll never roam One more dollar and I'm going home One more dollar Boys I'm going home |

There's gotta be a song left to sing
'Cause everybody can't have thought of everything One little song that ain't been sung One little rag that ain't been wrung out completely yet That's got a little left One little drop of falling rain One little chance to try again One little bird that makes it home now and then One little piece of endless sky One little taste of cherry pie One little week in paradise and I start thinking There's gotta be a song left to sing 'Cause everybody can't have thought of everything One little note that ain't been used One little word ain't been abused a thousand times In a thousand rhymes One little drop of falling rain One little chance to try again One little bird that makes it every now and then One little piece of endless sky One little taste of cherry pie One little week in paradise and I start thinking Gotta be a song left to sign 'Cause everybody can't have thought of everything One little song that ain't been sung One little rag that ain't been wrung out completely yet 'Til there's nothing left |

In the black dust towns of east Tennessee
All the work's about the same And you may not go to the job in the ground But you learn the miner's refrain I'm down in a hole, I'm down in a hole, Down in a deep, dark hole I'm down in a hole, I'm down in a hole, Down in a deep, dark hole When you search the rain for the silver cloud And you wait on days of gold When you pitch to the bottom And the dirt comes down You cry so cold, so cold I'm down in a hole, I'm down in a hole, Down in a deep, dark hole I'm down in a hole, I'm down in a hole, Down in a deep, dark hole Now there's something good in a worried song For the trouble in your soul 'Cause a worried man who's been a long way down Down in a deep dark hole I'm down in a hole, I'm down in a hole, Down in a deep, dark hole I'm down in a hole, I'm down in a hole, Down in a deep, dark hole I'm down in a deep, dark hole |

Make me down a pallet on your floor
Make me down a pallet on your floor Make me down a pallet soft and low When I'm broke and I got nowhere to go Been hanging 'round with a good-time friends of mine Hanging around with a good-time friends of mine Oh, they treat me very nice and kind When I've got a dollar and a dime We're in blues everywhere I see We're in blues everywhere I see We're in blues, honey, everywhere I see No one ever had the blues like me Way I'm sleeping, my back and shoulders tired Way I'm sleeping, my back and shoulders tired Come tomorrow, I'll be satisfied If I can catch that fast train and ride So, make me down a pallet on your floor Make me down a pallet on your floor Make me down a pallet soft and low Babe, I'm broke and I got nowhere to go |

Saw a girl on the street from my home
Like a fire on the hillside she shone And I knew right then that my best days were gone And I'd been, been in the lowlands too long Oh, I've been in the lowlands too long Oh, I know, I know that I should go And I've been in the lowlands too long This is not how it was at the start There's a doubt and a blame in my heart And it's no one else, no fault but my own And I've been in the lowlands too long Oh, I've been in the lowlands too long Oh, I know, I know that I should go And I've been in the lowlands too long What is this weight in my mind And what is this new sense of time It's the open fields and the friends that are gone And I've been in the lowlands too long I can sing out at all sing a song I can do nothing all the day long But I can't do right and I know I'm wrong And I've been in the lowlands too long Oh I've been in the lowlands too long Oh, I know, I know that I should go And I've been in the lowlands too long |
