Drunk For Your Amusement 

HEB 

I made a pledge to be drug-free 

The day I started at H.E.B. 

Work is hard and the days are long 

I just wish I could grab my bong 

Getting fatter every day 

and I got no place to stay 

God what has become of me 

I'm living in misery 

I ride the bus each day 

Back and forth from work, I pay 

My dues to Rock N Roll it seems 

Have left me with no dreams 

Doesn't matter anyway 

Got to push those dreams out of the way 

God what has become of me 

I'm living in misery 

Solo 

I hold back every day 

One-step and eleven on the way 

Roy Masters on the radio 

With his following, I go 

I could have been a big rockstar 

But I guess I didn't get that far 

god what has become of me 

I'm living in misery 

I'm living in misery 

I'm living in misery 

I'm living in misery 

I'm living in misery 

Roundrock 

Well I drove all the way from Roundrock just to see you 

Hoping we could somehow work it out 

I Left at 7:30 right here from Roundrock 

And at 8:00 I pulled up to your house 

I-35 for 30 minutes ain’t no big thing 

In my beaten up old Malibu 

Let’s grab a six pac and head down to the island 

It's the first place I ever took you 

4 for nuthin’ and breakdown Am/C/D 

And you know I’ve always loved you 

And we have gone a long, long way 

But time has come where we must find tomorrow 

It’s passed us up for another day 

I drove all the way from Roundrock just to see you 

Knuckles turning white on the wheel of that car 

And I hope that someday see tomorrow 

Trouble is I don’t think I can drive that far 

Carry On 

In this mixed-up world, I held my  head up high 

 I looked around and  realized 

 Just what it was my  heart was saying 

But  I couldn't hear  one damn thing 

 Carry on, carry  on, carry  on 

 Carry on, carry  on, carry  on 

  

With my hungry eyes I  finally found 

A  fictitious God with  jet black hair 

 He said "I love the  things you do ' 

And I  listened as if  it were true 

And he  knows  everyone,  And he  knows  everyone 

 and he will  tell you, he's a  sure-fire shit slinger 

cause he  knows  everyone 

Solo 

So I  bought his pitch  hook, line and sinker 

And  worked my soul to the  outer region 

 Thinkin' about all the  things I've blown 

It was a  heavy commitment to  the unknown 

 Cause he  knows  everyone,  cause he  knows  everyone 

 and he will  tell you, he's a  sure-fire  rock n  roller 

caus he  knows  everyone 

In this  mixed-up world now  I know better 

I  look around and  realize 

 Just what it is my  heart is saying 

And  I can hear a  thousand songs 

 Carry on, carry  on, carry  on 

 Carry on, carry  on, carry  on 

 and he will  tell you, he's a  sure-fire rock n  roller 

cause he  knows every  one 

Black Is Black   

 Black is black  I want my baby back 

 It's gray, it's gray   Since she went away, Ooh  Ooh 

What can I do 'Cause I-I-I-I-I'm feelin'  blue 

 If I had my way  She'd be back today 

 But she don't intend to see me again, Ooh  Ooh 

What can I do 'Cause I-I-I-I-I'm feelin'  blue 

 I can't choose 

 It's too much to lose 

My love's too strong 

Maybe if she would come back to me 

Then it  can't go wrong 

 Bad is bad  That I feel so sad 

 It's time, it's time. That I found peace of mind, Ooh  Ooh 

What can I do 'Cause I-I-I-I-I'm feelin'  blue 

Silver Horses 

Silver horses golden wheels 

No one knows quite how I feel 

Take me away, Oh sweet chariot 

All my love's turned to dust 

Take me back, return I must 

Take me away, Oh sweet chariot 

No, I won't cut no corners 

Halfway there just won't do 

Take me away, Oh sweet chariot 

Love's a movie on one small reel 

Life and death they ain't no big deal 

Take me away, Oh sweet chariot 

Baby Baby I just don't Know 

Which way to turn, What way to go 

Take me away, Oh sweet chariot 

solo 

When I was younger I was stronger 

Last coach, I'm counting on you 

Take me away, Oh sweet chariot 

All my pain's been amplified 

Take me for your moonlight ride 

Take me away, Oh sweet chariot 

All Over The World 

My girl's in Austin 

I'm stuck in Boston 

She's down in Texas 

Workin' at Alfred's 

She's such a fine, fine, girl 

Nobody can stop her 

From going round the world 

I wanna see George Coleman 

On a silver dollar 

Thrown in the bucket 

Of some buskin vixen 

She's such a fine, fine, girl 

nobody can stop her 

From going round the world 

Well let them figure out 

What it is she's all about 

And let them all complain 

That it's just too easy 

And lover's often say 

They'll somehow get their way 

But I have often found 

That it's not that easy 

solo 

My Mama's Jaguar 

Is in the garage 

It's such a Big Drag 

To feel Unable 

She's such a fine, fine, girl 

nobody can stop her 

From going round the world 

All over the world  

All over the world  

All over the world  

La Vida Es Muerte 

I corazon La vida es muerte 

Mi vida es muerte no quiero vivir 

Sin tu amor no tengo la suerte 

No tengo la suerte, Te quero vivir 

Oh when you’re laughing at me 

I get a shadow of a doubt 

That you will be by me 

When the morning sun breaks out 

How can I hold on to 

Words like whispers in the wind 

Caught in the struggle 

Between saviors and sins 

 La Vida 

 es bonita  

bonita e triste es amor 

solo 

I corazon, Yo tengo miedo 

No quiero sufrir, en un sueno ascuro 

No adios, mi luz en un cielo 

Esoy perdido , no quiero vivir 

As you wake me up 

And bring me to this foreign land 

And you’re holding my heart 

Like a weapon in your hands 

How can you throw me down 

Into the sacrificial well 

A place where the spirits and the devil do dwell 

La Vida 

es bonita  

bonita e triste es amor 

I yi yi yi 

Ohhhh yeah 

Buford Wilson 

 Way down in Louisana 

There’s a  man named Buford  Wilson 

A girl from New York City 

Said that she was looking  for him 

 Green Eyes looking out 

On a  fatherless  horizon 

 Green eyes looking out 

On this  misty  summer  day 

 And she never really  told 

 What it was she left  for 

 And her mama sits and stares  

At the photos of her daughter’s photo on the  wall 

Solo 

 Well it seemed to take forever 

To visit  every bar in  New Orleans 

And a man of his description 

Still  remains  to be  seen 

And as the Silver Eagle 

pushes on in a  westwardly  direction 

A young girl looks behind 

At a  fallen  broken  dream 

 And she never really  told 

 What it was she left  for 

 And her mama sits and stares   

At the photos of her daughter’s father on the  wall 

My Mama's Jaguar 

Jump shout, knock me really out 

Shake and twist, and move your body like this 

Make a fist and break your mama’s wrist 

My mama’s Jaguar 

Got looks that will make it go far 

My mama’s Jaguar 

Defender of the Holy War 

My mama’s Jaguar 

Well it’s the livin’ end baby that’s all, that’s all 

I wish I was a hippy back in 1968 

I’d smoke marijuana till I couldn’t see straight 

I wish I was a Hitler Youth back in ‘45 

I’d goose step to the party and learn to socialize 

I wish I was the president dancin’ with the queen 

I’d say shake, shake, shake, shake baby for me 

Solo 

Jump shout, knock me really out 

Shake and twist, and move your body like this 

Make a fist and break your mama’s wrist 

My mama’s Jaguar 

Got looks that will make it go far 

My mama’s Jaguar 

Defender of the Holy War 

My mama’s Jaguar 

Well it’s the livin’ end baby that’s all, that’s all 

I wish I was a hippy back in 1968 

I’d smoke marijuana till I couldn’t see straight 

I wish I was a Hitler Youth back in “45 

I’d goose step to the party and learn to socialize 

I wish I was the president dancin’ with the queen 

I’d say shake, shake, shake, shake baby for me 

My mama’s, My mama’s, My Mama’s, My mama’s 

I.J. and Julie 

I.J. and Julie soon became lovers 

Under the Gulf Stream moon 

Chewing on old thoughts and swallowing new 

As they stepped into their room 

Hold on tight 

Love has never seemed so right 

Hold on to your ego that's what he told me 

But lover's seldom do 

I'll be back tomorrow that's what she told me 

But her love was not true 

Hold on tight 

Love has never seemed so right 

solo 

I.J. and Julie never were married 

Though they found a love so true 

Soft, soft kisses like she'd never known 

Only they know what is true 

Hold on tight, 

Love has never seemed so right 

As I.J. buries the mood 

22 22 

 22  22,  That's what I  said 

The officer  laughed said put your  hands behind your  head 

 "I'd let you  go if it  were up to  me, 

but you  never should have  driven on that  

 government  property" 

 I meant no  danger I was  just havin'  fun 

The  officer  did not have to  pull out his  gun 

The  dog's were not needed, nor  choppers in the  air 

Thru the  handcuffs and the  rough stuff 

I wish my  lawyer had been   there 

 How could I know that  they were on my  trail 

 Why did my girlfriend say she  could not afford  bail 

 Lost but not forgotten, I  saw the guiding  light 

As I  sat and let the tears roll down in my  jail cell that fateful night 

SOLO 

 Get off your high horse the judge said to me 

An  ankle bracelet and the halfway house is where you will  stay 

 Mothers From Mad call the house every day 

 Talking  about all the lives they have saved 

 How could I know that they were on my  trail 

 Why did my girlfriend say she could not afford  bail 

 Lost but not forgotten, I saw the guiding  light 

As I sat and let the tears roll down in my  jail cell that fateful night 

Used To Be Kings 

Going thru the winding streets of 

My little town I came from 

Looks like all my friends have moved away 

It started when they went to college 

Looking out for higher knowledge 

I couldn't blame they couldn't stay 

Here I am in this small town 

Nobody even remembers our names 

Even though we used to be kings 

It doesn't matter anymore 

Cause all our friends have moved away 

solo 

Going thru these streets reminds me 

When I was young and carefree 

Nothing could touch me I was so free 

But now I’m stuck here in the city 

Big business is bout to kill me 

So I came here to fill my needs 

Here I am in this small town 

Nobody even remembers our names 

Even though we used to be kings 

It doesn't matter anymore 

Cause all our friends have moved away 

Cause all our friends have moved away 

Cause all our friends have moved away 

You're Gonna Miss Me 

You're gonna wake up one morning as the sun greets the dawn. 

You're gonna wake up one morning as the sun greets the dawn. 

You're gonna look around baby you're gonna find I’ve gone. 

You didn't realize, 

You didn't realize, 

You didn't realize, 

You didn't realize, 

You didn't realize. 

Oh! you're gonna miss me, baby. 

Oh! you're gonna miss me, baby. 

Oh! you're gonna miss me, child, yeah, yeah. 

I gave you the warning, 

But you never heeded it. 

How can you say you miss my lovin’, 

When you never needed it? 

You're gonna wake up wonderin', 

Find yourself all alone, 

But what's gonna stop me, baby? 

I'm not comin' home. 

I'm not comin' home. 

I'm not comin' home. 

Oh! you're gonna miss me, baby. 

Oh! you're gonna miss me, baby. 

Oh! you're gonna miss me, Child 

Oh! you're gonna miss me, baby, baby, baby
