So many people...have their problems
I'm not interested...in their problems
I guess I've...experienced some problems
But now I've...made some decisions
Takes a lot of time to push away the nonsense
Take my compassion...Push it as far as it goes
My interest level's dropping, my interest level is dropping
I've heard all I want to, I don't want to hear any more

Rosetta she's driving' me to the bank
Gun in my hand loaded with blanks
Note that I wrote all wet with my sweat
Helluva way to pay off these debts

The fishing boats go out across the evening water
Smuggling guns and arms across the Spanish border
The wind whips up the waves so loud
The ghost moon sails among the clouds
Turns the rifles into silver on the border

It's been rough and rocky traveling,
but I'm finally standing upright on the ground.
After taking several readings,
I'm surprised to find my mind's still fairly sound.
Willie Nelson, Me and Paul

Billy Dee was seventeen when he turned twenty-one
Fooling with some foolish things he could've left alone
But he had to try to satisfy a thirst he couldn't name
Driven towards the darkness by the devil in his veins
Kristofferson

Saw you standing in the hallway, red plastic cup
And one of them big long cigarettes
You asked me if I could play you some Dylan
I said,Dylan, who? You told me to kiss your arse

Is this one for the people? Is this one for the Lord?
Or do I simply serenade for things I must afford?
You can jumble them together, my conflict still remains
Holiness is calling, in the midst of courting fame
Cause I see the trust in their eyes
Though the sky is falling
They need Your love in their lives
Compromise is calling

What if I stumble, what if I fall?
What if I lose my step and I make fools of us all?
Will the love continue when my walk becomes a crawl?
What if I stumble, and what if I fall?

IN the morning you go gunnin'
For the man who stole your water

We hear your leaving, that's OK
I thought our little wild time had just begun

Katy tried
I was half way crucified
I was on the other side
Of no tomorrow

Who are these children
Who scheme and run wild
Who speak with their wings
And the way that they smile


Get your motor running
Head out on the highway

You know I've smoked a lot of grass
O'Lord I've popped a lot of pills

My birthplace would be hard to find
It changed so many times

I don't feel the suns comin' out today
its staying in, its gonna find another way.
As I sit here in this misery, I don't
think I'll ever see the sun from here.

I'm talkin' I'm talkin'
I'm talkin' to myself more
Needle, fetal
Someone's pouring warm gravy all over me
And you see that synthetic therapy
Don't you know it seems to be so unappealing
But, oh what a feeling

Mouthful of cavities
Your soul's a bowl of jokes
And everyday you remind me
How I'm desperately in need

The first I remember knowin' was that lonesome whistle blowin'. And a youngin's dream of growin' up to ride.

On a freight train leavin' town, not knowin' where I was bound. No one could steer me right, but mama tried.

Help me, Mary, please
I've lost my home to thieves
They bully the stereo and drink
They leave suspicious stains in the sink
