Havin' An Affair

She was wild back then
Not easy to tame
But she was not to blame
She couldn't help that when...
He was just a kid
She was all he wished
And made the highest bid
So got the biggest fish
He was walking on the air
She had mercy on his soul
He found a brilliant in the coal
She was just having an affaire
He always did his best
To please her summer queen
Only reward he'd seen
Was resting on her chest
He promised her the moon
Though she didn't care
While he sang out of tune
She ran away from there

They tell us what to steal
And what we steal to hide
They set the battlefield
And shoot from the other side
They teach us to be cold
They’re always all around
They charge us with their load
They curse our holy ground
They order us to fight
With just an empty gun
Our vision’s out of sight
Somewhere... under the sun
Their day is all night long
Their light is none but blind
They want to sing our songs
While they spit on our mind
They fool us with kind words
They name our future past
Our hope is in the Lord
Our pride was born to last

A Dream About You
03:55
|

|
Went to the city of dirt
Garbage by tons but no smell
Drank sewage water, ate waste
Heard a bell toll for the dead
Prayed for the innocent ones
Suffered for those left behind
Looked for some light in the dark
Slept with my eyes open wide
There's a preacher calling out my name
Says I'll be in trouble for as long as I stay
But I have no plan to leave this town
Not before you come around
Had a dream about you last night
Woke up alone and then cried
Miss every inch of your skin
I'm having too much time to think
Went to the kingdom of rage
No decent women in sight
They were all double your age
Can't get you off of my mind

Far From Folsom

Far from Folsom, that’s where I’d like to be
But I’m so lonesome I have no one to meet
Far from Folsom, that’s where I’d like to stay
But night is coming, won’t see the light of day
You reap what you saw
And since I broke the law
I’m burning in hell
Rotten in this cell
It’s a rich folk’s war
As it was before
The smaller the man
The bigger the gun
My days they’re numbered
My soul has been plundered
My choices are few
Tangled up in blue
The end it is near
It's too hot in here
Will you Lord forgive
The sins of this thief?

Red Light Girl

I got a red light girl
But not the kind you think
She’s at the corner of the square
Her cup of coffee is full of dreams
I got a red light chick
For 50 secs a day
I stop my car and there she is
Sit by the window at 3 am
She’s gorgeous, she’s pretty
She’s the queen of the city
Dressed in that uniform she drives me mad
There’s something about her
That makes nothing else matter
God, she’s the vision of the Promised Land
I got a red light date
I need to get on time
I’ll miss her look if I’m late
My favourite moment of the night
I got a red light babe
I stare at from my cab
I’ll take our secret to the grave
I’m pretty sure she loves me bad
