On the road again, alone to face the world

How could God have forsaken this little boy & girl?

Joey says to Sally, "Babe the world is ours to see."

Sally turns to Joey & says, "Baby now were free."

 

(repeat chorus)

 

3. Only If You Ask Me To

 

Sat up high on the docks where the waves crashed into the pier

I looked you straight in the eyes & said, "Baby have no fear."

Theres too many things in this world that'll take your soul away

Just lay down w/ me girl & I can make em go away.

 

(chorus)

Because I,   I'm gonna stay w/ you

Because I,   I'll always be true

You know I'll always see you through

But only if you ask me to

 

Everythings gonna be alright, baby I'll take care of you

I'll bring you breakfast in bed & do the things that you beg me to

Don't worry no more baby, everythings gonna be fine

I'll keep you drunk on love & strawberry wine

 

(repeat chorus)

 

Sittin' out high on a hill, watchin' the big moon rise

I can see all the stars above shinin' in your eyes

Tell me all of your secrets, I hear every word you say

All the love that you give little girl will come back to you someday

 

(repeat chorus)

 

4. Song For Bob Dylan Rag

 

You got a head full of pills, a box full of the blues

You don't know what youre looking for but I left you many clues

I feel so sorry baby, you can't find your way around

I'll be down at the bar, when you finally come down

Drinkin' beers and shootin' the shit w/ my man Shoe

Oh it hurts me baby to be so cool

 

Well I know you drive a pony, I see you drive it into town

You come get your prescription filled then you turn your pony 'round

I saw your face on TV, I saw it on the news

I called you up & asked you, "Where you get them pony shoes?"

You just laughed at me & said, "Down at the store."

Oh baby I was hopin' for just a little bit more

 

Well I work out on this chicken farm about 60 hours a week

Now the chickens talk to me I can hear them when they speak

They tell me that I'm crazy, ask me what I'm doin' here.

I try to ignore them & I grab another beer

& I hope this will help me wash it down

The taste of dirt left on my tongue

 

Now we're sittin' pretty, getting drunk

No more chickens talk to me, everything is fine

Then there are the buzzards, that circle round my head

They'll just watch & wait for me until the day I'm dead

Then they'll pick my bones clean & dry

Leave me on this hill till I die, die, die, die

 

5. Mountain Song For Julie

 

Come climb my mountain, leave your flat lands behind

The snow gets deep but like the pain melts with time

If you find your way, up my winding road

I'd bath & clean & comfort you & keep you from the cold

 

I know the changes seem so hard, before you take that step

But its up here on this mountain baby, where my secrets kept

I've seen the things youre wanting & I've given them some time

But its up here on this mountain babe where the stars are free to shine

I'd reach up the sky for you, put stars upon our shelves

We'd house them in our hearts with hearts with love and keep them for ourselves

They'd shine so bright and fill our hearts with love

There would still be more stars babe to light the sky above

 

(chorus)

& I'm hopin' you can find me, & I can find you

I'm hopin' that the landslide, doesn't do us through

Im learnin' that with love you have to take your time

But these are my dreams- all alone they're mine

 

I've pooled all of my fear and longing, deep inside my heart

A place they can find some space but never be apart

They live at war inside of me & keep me safe at bay

But then there is the part of me that wants to throw it all away

 

(repeat chorus)                 

 

6. Bar Song

 

I could tell by the way you walked through the bar

You knew I saw you for everything you are

No shining diamond, youre no princess, no prize

I see right through you, theres no where to hide

 

I've got a feeling, a feeling deep inside

You've got a secret, something you need to hide

 

(chorus)

I look down the bar & I see it in your eyes

I look down the bar & I see it     2X

 

Stories whispered in the dark, so no one can hear

In a smoky, funky bar over a glass a beer

Drunken eyes alibis, shrug off all the fear

Sit back, relax, & ask your bartender for another beer

 

(repeat chorus)

 

 

7. The Fall Down Game

 

Thought I saw your face today, so I figured Id turn away

Don't wanna look you in the eyes

Theres something that I had to say, but I just never found a way

Baby we were both just killing time

 

(chorus)

Yea we all play the Fall Down Game

All play the Fall Down Game

We all play the Fall Down Game tonight

 

I could've put up a fight, sat up & talked all night

Oh but baby why waste the time

Sorry if I couldn't try, I was too busy getting high

& tryin' to make it in the world

 

Now my lifes less complicated, I can finally see

Everything seems less sedated, now that I am free

 

(repeat chorus)

 

So I took your picture down, I don't need it hanging round

Theres a bare spot on my wall

Wasn't worth the time Id say, try to make it last one more day

I just hate to waste my time

 

(repeat chorus)  2X
