Flesh and Bone

a child will sing a song of love
trade it for the blues of working fool
with no one looking out for me flesh and bone was all I had to lose
all those days we traveled oh so hard
scratch and fight to prove the night was wrong
now my days have crumbled to a few
flesh and bone is all I have to show
flesh and bone, the last one standing save a prayer for me
tell the devil and Jesus the hand that was dealt to me
I'm not alone, we're all just flesh and bone
all we hold in this round world was born in the furnace of the sun
split my soul across the universe, flesh and bone is all I'm leaving here
flesh and bone, the last one standing sa a prayer for me
tell the devil and Jesse James the hand that was dealt to me
I'm not alone, we're all just flesh and bone
really not alone, we're all just flesh and bone

Wild Town

she don't need your sympathy,
with a smile that swears she's winning the last game
does all her drinking for free
so much attitude on a ninety pound frame
a headline waiting to happen
thrown to the wind, alibis in the mail
spinning like a leslie cabinet
making the rent in one dollar bills
her eyes shut this wild town down
never hold a girl like her
tears it up and runs it into the ground
her eyes shut this wild town down
lady of perpetual motion
catholic sisters swore your love was a sin
now she shakin' at the Tally - Ho
spending every penny and you'll never get it back again
her eyes shut this wild town down
never hold a girl like her
tears it up and runs it into the ground
her eyes shut this wild town down

THE OLD MAN'S BEEN DRINKING
AND MOMMA'S BEEN DRIVING
HERSELF HOME ALONE MORE AND MORE
BABY TUGGING AT HER BREAST
AND THAT OL' DEVIL WON'T TAKE NO REST
THE GODDAMN NEIGHBORS ALL KEEPING SCORE
IT'S MOMMA'S BIRTHDAY
OH BUT THE BILLS AIN'T PAID
WE'LL SIT ALONE IN THE DARK
"MAKE A PALLET BY THE SCREEN DOOR DEAR,
TRY AND LET SOME COOL AIR IN HERE"
LISTENING TO THE HIGHWAY ROLLING FAST
AND I DREAM OF A GETAWAY CAR
ONE WITH NO BRAKES OR PLATES
DARK AND SWIFT WITHOUT A TRACE
I'LL DRIVE IT OH SO FAR AWAY
STRAIGHT INTO THE NIGHT
I'M GONNA BURY IT ALL IN THE GLOW OF MY HEADLIGHTS
THE TOWN PUMP'S AT THE EDGE OF TOWN
THE WHORES CALL HIS NAME WHEN HE COMES AROUND
THREE SHEETS TO THE WIND LIKE A MILLIONAIRE
CRAWLS HOME ON HIS HANDS AND KNEES
TO THREE HUNGRY MOUTHS TO FEED
THEIR BELLY'S AS EMPTY AS THE FRIGIDAIRE
AND I DREAM OF A GETAWAY CAR
ONE WITH NO BRAKES OR PLATES
DARK AND SWIFT WITHOUT A TRACE
ONE WITH NO BRAKES OR PLATES
DARK AND SWIFT WITHOUT A TRACE
I'LL DRIVE IT OH SO FAR AWAY
STRAIGHT INTO THE NIGHT
I'M GONNA BURY IT ALL IN THE GLOW OF MY HEADLIGHTS

Trampoline

blew the slide trombone in a six piece band
in the gutter where the winners got blood on their hands
working, working 'till the whole shake swings
like a blind man jumping on a trampoline
the small print is what the kid can't read
and its hard, it's hard with your ass in the breeze
working, working scuffling up your knees
like a blind man jumping on a trampoline
a ten dollar suit, a thirty dollar gig
leaves Jackson to tighten your wig
susie good pussy's gonna loosen the noose
her head full of stitches and a Harley tattoo
the sign on the door reads colors can be worn
rich folks slumming get all they bargained for
when safe across the tracks, I'll be sleeping in my car
if you whistle the tune, put your cabbiage in the jar
thirty-one nights in the month of may
forty-nine jobs this bands gonna play
working, working, pray your lips don't bleed
ike a blind man jumping on a trampoline
