Take me from this place Don’t bring me back, don’t bring me back I have made my peace like a heart attack Like a heart attack I was sitting on the train and waiting for the sun, uh huh Trigger’s in the brain and thought's a loaded gun But I ain’t coming back to this place Though everything I did, I did it all for you It was for you Yeah you If I lose my way Don’t bring me back, don’t bring me back If I lose my mind I’ll be alright, just keeping time I was sitting on the train and waiting for the sun, uh huh Smoking cigarettes and thinking I had won I had one more chance to get it right Cause everything I did, I did it all for you It was for you, yeah you I was sitting on the train and waiting for the sun, uh huh Trigger’s in the brain and thought's a loaded gun But I ain’t coming back to this place Though everything I did, I did it all for you It was for you Yeah you

Tell Me True 04:08
Tell me something, tell me true What you really wanna do Take my mind, leave this world behind And let’s go travellin’ Devil’s knockin’ on our door Don’t wanna see his face no more Run, that’s a fact Let’s slip out the back And let’s go travellin The leaves are fallin’ off them trees Old man’s shakin’ at the knees Time has come, ain’t nowhere to run So let’s go travellin’ There’s a place I’d like to go Can’t get there by train or boat Only thing that I ask of you Is tell me something, tell me true

I don’t wanna play with you no more You stole my truck and cheated on your score I’m goin to my room and closing up the door I don’t wanna play with you no more I don’t wanna play with you today I can’t believe a single word you say I thought you were my friend You fooled me to the end I don’t wanna play with you today It’s a beautiful day to play but I can’t stand To hear you say you wanna cry It’s the same thing every day so go and Play with someone else outside I don’t wanna play with you no more I heard it all a thousand times before I thought that we would clique I saw what makes you tick So, I don’t wanna play with you no more It’s a beautiful day to play but I can’t stand To hear you say you wanna cry It’s the same thing every day so go and Play with someone else outside I don’t wanna play with you no more

You say life’s a drag, can’t catch a break A pain in the ass, a pill for the ache Things will get bad and things will get worse Next thing you know, you’re riding the hearse I tell you what I’d do if I was in your shoes I’d walk right out the door and don’t come back no more & more & more till you can’t see the floor Jump down, turn around man, but what you doing it for But you got to admit that everybody’s somewhere Even if you don’t know or you don’t really care Do you care, if you’re somewhere You want to get out, but ain’t got the time Well time’s all you got, so have some of mine I’ll lend you an ear, sing you a song Leave you alone or take along I tell you what I’d do if I was in your shoes I’d walk right out the door and don’t come back no more & more & more till you can’t see the floor Jump down, turn around man, but what you doing it for But you got to admit that everybody’s somewhere Even if you don’t know or you don’t really care Do you care, if you’re somewhere But you got to admit that everybody’s somewhere Even if you don’t know or you don’t really care And even if you never travel far It never hurts to know just where you are

Mista Moe 02:53
Mista Moe know where to go, sways to and fro He’s a magic show Gonna show you things you won’t believe Then he pulls an ace out his jacket sleeve Says look here kid, I walked a mile up and down the Nile And I came back again There’s one thing you gotta know, don’t say no to Mista Moe Mista Moe is really slick, shoots from the hip Gonna flip your wig Gonna show you things turn your world around Even if his clothes are inside out Says look here kid, I rode an elephant on a safari hunt And I came back again Only thing you ought to know, just say no to Mista Moe Moe is feeling fine As he slips in and out of time And when your walls come tumbling down Moe might be around Mista Moe can hold a tune on a brass bassoon He wants to jam with you He’ll Moe you down with some crazy sounds That he learned in Rome from a garden gnome Says look here kid, I lit that dynamite It was outta sight and I came back again Moe is feeling fine As he slips in and out of time And when your walls come tumbling down Moe might be around

If I had a hammer, I’d build you a house I’d build you a house babe and you could be my spouse If I had a dollar, I’d buy us a car And drive way out west to see the desert stars And we’d live on the land, lord lord And we’d make a stand and say that We are here If I had a family, I’d work all the day Bring home the bacon and give you my pay If I had a son, I would teach him my ways But only the good ones, if I had a son And we’d live on the dream, lord lord That a man can be free to say that I am here If I had a forest in a rocky ravine Don’t cut down my trees man, just let them be If I had a daughter, she’d play in those trees Just like her mother, happy & free And we’d live on the land, lord lord And we’d make our stand and say We were here

Too many times, I put my faith into a dream A dream that turned into a nightmare Strip away everything that you’ve become See what’s left when the smoke clears I met the Alchemist in the dredges of my mind While he was studying the shadows I couldn’t tell if they were his thoughts or mine Perhaps I’ll never know The Alchemist, he put his dreams into a flask Composed a symphony of fire He couldn’t swallow all the things that he did ask The flames grew out of hand and skyward You know I would love to set you free But I can’t take no more tragedy Take your sorrow and let me be I’ve got to fly away from here Fly so far from here

Sweet lullaby Driftin’ on down the river Doesn’t matter what it play Cause I’m all…I’m already gone People and their words Rollin’ on down the river Doesn’t matter what they say Cause I’m all…I’m already gone Paper & ink Floatin’ on down the river Doesn’t matter what it say Cause I’m all…I’m already gone
9.
I can see that I have fallen From your grace which was my calling West wind’s blowin’ hard against me Flat out road is all that I see Highway, won’t you roll my blues away I’ve been knocked out Drugged and loaded River’s rolling on before me I look down at my reflection Where it’s headed, no direction River, won’t you roll my blues away All my life, I’ve been alone Never have I had a home until you came Now love’s gone bad, It’s kinda sad But I guess I am to blame Cause I’m just untamed My mind sees you oh so clearly Never have I longed so dearly Freight train coming fast & strong Steady rollin’ on & on Freight Train, won’t you roll my blues away River, won’t you roll my blues away Highway, won’t you roll my blues away

They say Ms Belle comes from Hell Way down south by the Mississippi Mouth She wears an antique dress, her hair’s an awful mess Thin and pale, beautifully frail Ooooo Ms Belle They say Ms Belle is the Devil’s wife She hides her face from the preacher’s sight You know she killed her man with a steady hand On her wedding day, or so they say Ooooo Ms Belle So they took Ms Belle to the hanging tree And strung her up by her neck & feet And the only thing Ms Belle could say Was thank you Lord for my dying Day Ooooo Ms Belle

O Death 03:40
O Death, O Death Won’t you spare me over to another year What is this that I can’t see With ice cold hands taking hold of me Well I am death no one can excel I'll open the door to heaven or hell O Death, O Death Won’t you spare me over to another year Well the children prayed, the preacher preached Time and mercy is out of your reach I'll fix your feet so you can't walk I'll lock your jaw so you can't talk I'll close your eyes so you can’t see This very hour come and go with me I’m Death I come to take your soul Leave your body, leave it cold To draw the flesh up off the frame Dirt and worm both have a claim O Death, O Death Won’t you spare me over to another year My mother came to my bed Placed a cold towel up on my head My head is warm my feet are cold Death is moving upon my soul Oh death how you treating me You close my eyes so I can't see Well you hurt my body make cold You run my life right out of my soul Oh death please consider my age Please don't take me at this stage My wealth is all at your command If you will move your icy hands The old, young rich or poor Are all alike to me, you know No wealth no land no silver or gold Nothing satisfies me but your soul O Death, O Death Won’t you spare me over to another year
