Old Black Crow Old black crow on the side of the road can’t get up and fly from the weight of the load An old tiger momma laying low in the woods she got a heavy heart ain’t doin’ too good This world is turnin’ and we’re burnin’ it down (world, world, turn around) This world is burnin’, so let’s turn things around (world, world, turn around) A wise old owl sittin’ up in a tree he’s lookin’ at you, you lookin’ at me Fish in the water layin’ flat on his back can’t get up and go since the river turned black This world is turnin’ and we’re burnin’ it down, down, down This world is burnin’, you got to turn things, you got to turn things around (world, world, turn around) A crazy old bat used to get up and sing she don’t do it no more she don’t shake that thing An old black crow on the side of the road can’t get up and fly from the weight of the load This world is turnin’ and we’re burnin’ it down (world, world, turn around) This world is burnin’, so let’s turn things, you got to turn things around (world, world, turn around) Oh this world is turnin’ and we’re burnin’ Pick it up, pick it up, pick it up, let’s turn around This world it burnin’ for that old black crow Burn the whole thing down

Miles 03:21
Miles Goodbye Virginia the time has come to go Flaggin’ down that Pontiac, I gotta get on the road And he said now “Give me some of that sweet stuff, I’ll put the pedal to the floor.” I’ll take you miles and miles and miles and miles hold on tight We’re talkin’ miles and miles and miles and miles through the night Livin’ for that freedom Oh yeah it suits me right East of the Rockies, West of Omaha I’m travelin’ North to that Dakota sprawl They got Bonanza Jellybean oh you know what I mean When she does that cowgirl thing Giddy up, giddy up I feel a change comin’ with the wind Gotta get out, gotta get up, gotta get out, gotta get on the open road again. Miles and miles and miles and miles hold on tight We’re talkin’ miles and miles and miles and miles through the night (I’ll take you there) Livin’ for that freedom I feel like a bird in flight (So bye bye baby bye bye) I’ll take you miles and miles and miles and miles hold on tight We’re talkin’ miles and miles and miles and miles through the night Livin’ for that freedom Yeah it suits me right (gotta thumb, gotta go, come on and hit the road) Livin’ for that freedom I feel like a bird in flight Livin’ for that freedom yeah It suits me right

Hey Baby 03:06
Hey Baby Like a cat on a roof under a slurry sky I want that end of summer lovin’, slide on up to my side Hey baby, the way you shimmy shake that thing Hey baby, oh I love when you sing Like the shadow of sin, your kisses soaked with gin It’s a sad lullaby where the hero can’t win Hey baby you’re my darkest star Hey baby when you play your guitar Hey baby how far is too far Hey baby Dangerous and doomed my Thelonious king Just a fool for a night you never buy me no ring Hey baby well I’ll never be the same Hey baby, hey baby tell me your name Like the promise of lust and a dark melody I’m not askin’ for forever, just a dance in-between Hey baby you’re my darkest star Hey baby when you play your guitar Hey baby how far is too far Hey baby Hey baby you’re my darkest star Hey baby come on come on play your guitar Hey baby how far is too far Hey baby

Shake It 04:20
Shake It You got to shake it, ‘cause the dams about to break You got to shake it, the levees seen all it can take Noah and the ark, old man and the sea, Ahab and his fish Ain’t got nothin’ wet on me So take me back baby (take me back baby) I’m so tired of feelin’ blue Won’t you take me back baby We got nothin’ left to lose (can’t lose, can’t lose, no more) The river’s risin’ lord it’s high, high, high You got to shake it, before it’s gone Mama you got to shake it, the river’s strong Saint Croix moon, like a Mississippi mile The flood is comin’ in a mother nature’s trial So take me back baby (take me back baby) I’m so tired of feelin’ blue Won’t you take me back baby We got nothin’ left to lose (nothin’, nothin’, nothin’ left to lose) The river’s risin’ lord it’s high, high, high Won’t you take me back baby Lord I’m tired of feelin’ blue (tired of feelin’ blue) Won’t you take me back baby We got nothin’ left to lose (nothin’, nothin’, nothin’ left to lose) You better get back ‘cause the river’s risin’ lord it’s high, high, high The river’s risin’ and it’s high, high, high The river’s risin’ there’s no way out The river’s risin’ there’s no way out (you got to shake it) The river’s risin’ there’s no way out (take me back baby)

Out Of My Mind Let me tell you ‘bout that hot night The moon fell down and I came alive Boco Chico by the river side If you can’t stay sharp you won’t survive I’m goin’ out of my mind, I’m really out of my mind I’m goin’ out of my mind, I’m really out of my mind Take it back to when we first met An accident that I can’t forget (can’t forget) Now I’m out at this oasis With sister love and a secret kept I’m goin’ out of my mind, I’m really out of my mind I’m goin’ out of my mind, I’m really out of my mind Blue Matisse and how those curves lay Innocence is a slippery thing Pyramids and taboos churning A vividness that I can’t explain I’m goin’ out of my mind, I’m really out of my mind I’m goin’ I’m goin’ out of my mind, I’m really out of my mind I’m goin’ out of my mind, I’m really out of my mind I’m goin’ out of my mind, I’m really out of my mind

Dark Road 03:43
Dark Road I hear the devil laughin, I can feel him close behind I got lost in the nightfall, this grip has got me blind Lookin’ for a train called redemption Oh lord you know how the story goes A good man gone bad (good man) Still his momma loved him so On this dark road, I won’t travel no more On this dark road, I won’t travel no more I may not have the sun But I own the moon (I own the moon) How many miles can break a man My father tried to warn me, my momma didn’t understand I heard a shot ring out, the sky was burnin’ red I fell to my knees I heard a song inside my head ( heard a song inside my head) On this dark road, I won’t travel no more On this dark road, I won’t travel no more I may not have the sun But I own the moon (I own the moon) On this dark road, I won’t travel no more On this dark road, I won’t travel no more On this dark road, I won’t travel no more On this dark road, I won’t travel no more

Twenty Years 03:34
20 Years No one said nothin’ about easy You gotta fight for what you believe in I go 29 years back to find where I lost track They say soul can take you to heaven and faith can save you from hell But what I’ve seen so far there’s nothin’ that you can’t sell So I head out on that highway on a long road that I call home I come down off the mountain with a fever so high Lookin’ for gold and water and a river that’s run dry I went to the doctor, doctor, to soothe that emotion I got nothin’ but pills and bills and a box of magic potion So I head out on that highway on a long road that I call home Gotta find that groove momma So I dust off my boots Shake off these old roots Head out on that highway And find myself some truth No one said nothin’ about easy You gotta fight for what you believe in I go 20 years back to find where I lost track So I head out on that highway on a long road I call home And I head out on that highway on a long road I call home So I head out on that highway to a long road Take me home now momma.

State Line 03:41
State Line There was a time That we got it right It’s expired Like candle light I drove all night I drove all night There’s got to be more to this than always paying your price By the time you realize my loves beyond the state line I used to say Lets never change Now those words Seem impossible to me I drove all night I drove all night There’s got to be more to this than always paying your price By the time you realize my loves beyond the state line There was a time when we got it right.
