Lonely Kind Lyrics

The Lonely Kind 

People say I’m the lonely kind 

If you look at me you just might find 

A man who’s given all there is to give 

From all his struggle... No will to live 

And you can talk about me and put me down 

Laugh and joke about my shaky ground 

That’s ok, I’ll just move on 

In my lonely world, I can’t go wrong 

For I’m just a traveler in this lonely land 

Someday I’ll find a heart like mine and it will understand 

And we will break the shackles of our great despair 

And memories are all we’ll have of this lonely land 

From this lonely world… where I come from 

People say I’m the lonely kind 

I’m just waitin’ for a heart like mine 

If you laugh at me the jokes on you 

You don’t know what this lonely world can do 

Love can walk right in and out your door 

I’ve been up and down that road before 

That’s ok I’ll just move on 

In my lonely world, I can’t go wrong 

For I’m just a traveler in this lonely land 

Someday I’ll find a heart like mine and it will understand 

And we will break the shackles of our great despair 

And memories are all we’ll have of this lonely land 

From this lonely world… where I come from 

For I’m just a traveler in this lonely land 

Someday I’ll find a heart like mine and it will understand 

And we will break the shackles of our great despair 

And memories are all we’ll have of this lonely land 

From this lonely world… where I come from 

Where I come from 

Where I come from 

Where I come from 

West Coast Blues

Me and Jenny headed out to the ocean 

She said she had never seen the sea 

We drove out to California 

First the desert, then the mountains, then the sea 

Jenny got lost in San Francisco 

And I headed back to San Antone 

The drive was long and lonely 

It was years before she ever came back home 

I’m not angry that we parted 

That our time together ended oh, so, soon 

Happiness was bound to find me 

Someday, I’d lose those West Coast Blues 

Seems the times had been hard on my sweet angel 

She’d seen the stars fall from the sky 

And when she walked back in my doorway 

She swept away those West Coast Blues 

I’m not angry that she left me 

I’m just glad my darlin’s back at home 

Happiness has finally found me 

I’m done with those West Coast Blues 

I’m done with those West Coast Blues 

I’m done with those West Coast Blues 

Cactus Blooms 

I threw my ring off the bridge at the border 

As I crossed into Mexico 

Left a love behind that was no longer mine 

But, I had to let go 

Every man has his reasons for leaving 

Reasons can be filled with regret 

I was caught on a line with no way to find 

The things that I once found so clear 

Cactus blooms so bright in the desert 

Where you think no life could live 

I plan to settle down for one last round 

Where the rules will be mine to live 

  

Gonna find me a sweet senorita 

Gonna buy me a parcel of land 

Let the days all drift together 

Start life once again if I can 

Cactus blooms so bright in the desert 

Where you think no life could live 

I plan to settle down for one last round 

Where the rules will be mine to live 

I plan to settle down for one last round 

Where the rules will be mine to live 

Blubberball

Well, I'm lying here wide awake 

and I cannot get to sleep 

My head is hurtin' my legs both ache 

and I'm trying to grow new feet 

My body cries you need some rest 

but I can't shut down my brain 

And I ain't really thinkin' 'bout nuthin' at all 

cause I'm thinkin' bout everything 

because I chew the fat I'm a blubberball 

I pickle my liver in alcohol 

Smoke in my lungs, powder my nose 

Watch my body decompose 

There's a little bird singing at the top of his lungs 

And he's perched inside my brain 

I'm thanking God I ain’t got a gun 

'cause I know we'd both be dead 

My hair is steadily falling out 

By the handfuls everyday 

And I feel like it, and I look like it 

and the smell is here to stay 

because I chew the fat I'm a blubberball 

I pickle my liver in alcohol 

Smoke in my lungs, powder my nose 

Watch my body decompose 

And, when I die 

Don't bury me at all  

Just pickle my bones 

In alcohol 

Put a bottle of booze 

At my head and feet 

And, then I know 

My bones will keep 

because I chew the fat I'm a blubberball 

I pickle my liver in alcohol 

Smoke in my lungs, powder my nose 

Watch my body decompose 

Dance a Cachuca 

Dance a Cachuca, Fandango, Bolero 

Xeres will do Manzanilla, Montero 

Wine when it runs in abundance enhances 

The reckless delight of that wildest of dances 

To the pitter, pitter, patter 

To the clitter, clitter, clatter 

To the pitter, pitter, patter we'll dance  

To the pitter, pitter, patter 

To the clitter, clitter, clatter 

To the pitter, pitter, patter we'll dance  

Aha, Aha, Aha that wildest of dances 

Aha, Aha, Aha that wildest of dances 

The reckless delight 

Once more 

Gondoliere, both skillful and wary 

free from this quandary contented are we 

Once more Gondoliere, Gondoliere, Gondoliere 

contented are we 

So, goodbye Cachuca, Fandango, Bolero 

We'll dance a farewell to that measure  

Old Xeres will do Manzanilla, Montero 

We leave you with feelings of pleasure 

With feelings of pleasure 

With feelings of pleasure 

10,000 Years Ago

I was born about 10,000 years ago 

Not a thing in history I don't know 

I saw Peter, Paul, and Moses 

Playing Ring Around The Roses 

And I'll lick the guy that says it isn't so 

I saw Eve and Adam driven from the door 

I'm the guy that picked the fig leaves that they wore 

When the apple they were eatin' 

I was around the corner peepin’ 

And I can prove that it was I that ate the core 

I saw Jonah when he sailed within the whale 

And I thought I’d never live to tell the tale 

But, old Jonah he‘d eaten garlic 

And he gave the whale a colic 

And he coughed him up and let him out of jail 

I saw Absalom hanging by the hair 

When they built the wall of China, I was there 

I saved King Salomon's life 

And he offered me a wife 

I said, "Now you're talkin' business, have a chair" 

Well, the Queen of Sheeba she fell in love with me 

We were married in Milwaukee, secretly  

In Washington I shook her 

Just to join with General Hooker 

Chasin’ skeeters out of sunny Tennessee  

Well, I was born about 10,000 years ago  

Best Of My Heart

You've got the best of my heart 

Love has held me from the start 

Dreams seem so real, tell me 

How does it feel 

To be trapped in this thing called the heart 

She said love is everywhere 

Hold on to your senses 

She said love is everywhere 

Hold on to your senses 

You've been drinkin', again 

Yeah, again 

Lovers cry out in the night 

Looking for something so right 

God only knows they've got 

No place to go 

They are trapped in this thing called the heart 

She said love is everywhere 

Hold on to your senses 

She said love is everywhere 

Hold on to your senses 

You've been drinkin', again 

Yes, again 

Heart To Cave In

Now, I know you were wrong from the start 

We stayed together and played the parts 

I should have known better, love would never begin 

As you set there waiting for my heart to cave in 

Now, all my friends thought it was wrong 

For us to get together didn't take to long 

My mom and papa told me,"Son, you better look again!" 

"’Cause, we think that she's waitin' for your heart to cave in" 

When I was holdin' on strong 

You seemed to slip away 

Every time that we kissed 

You'd say you couldn't stay 

I wished we were together more 

But I's the only one 

I think I'd gone crazy if I'd stuck to my guns 

Love is just a mystery, a mystery to me 

I'm not the Sherlock Holmes of love, you see 

But if Matlock and McGiver tried to figure you out 

They'd say, "We think she's waitin' for your heart to give out!" 

When I was holdin' on strong 

You seemed to slip away 

Every time that we kissed 

You'd say you couldn't stay 

I wished we were together more 

But I's the only one 

I think I'd gone crazy if I'd stuck to my guns 

I think I'd gone crazy if I'd stuck to my guns 

I think I'd gone crazy if I'd stuck to my guns 

A Man Can Cry

A man can cry 

Our love can't surely die 

They're not here to stay 

The sunshine or the rain 

But, let me, oh, let me tell you baby 

I'm still in love with you 

Blue skies above 

The towering mountain high 

Is to prove my love 

All this love have I 

But, let me, oh, let me tell you baby 

I'm still in love with you 

The rules of the game 

We both know 

I know that you love me, love me so 

But someday little darlin' 

I know you're gonna want me 

You're gonna want me, gonna want me, want me so 

A man can cry 

Our love can't surely die 

They're not here to stay 

The sunshine or the rain 

But, let me, oh, let me tell you baby 

I'm still in love with you 

The rules of the game 

We both know 

I know that you want me, want me so 

But someday little darlin' 

I know you're gonna love me 

You're gonna love me, gonna love me, love me so  

A man can cry 

Our love can't surely die 

They're not here to stay 

The sunshine or the rain 

But let me, oh, let me tell you baby 

I'm still in love with you
