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
