The return of the Lyric Association Thread

[rdiberna]

You know it's hard to believe
Thirty days in the hole
Thirty days in the hole
Thirty days in the hole
That's what they give you

[KEZHEAD]

The judge decreed it, the clerk he wrote it.
Clerk he wrote it down indeed-e
Judge decreed it, clerk he wrote it down
Give you this jail sentence you'll be Nashville bound
Some got six month some got one solid.
Some got one solid year indeed-e
Some got six month some got one solid.
But me and my buddies all got lifetime here

[rdiberna]

Ice cold water is runnin' through my veins
They try and drag me back to work again
Pain and blisters on my mind and hands
I work all day making up burlap bags
The oats they're feeding me are driving me wild
I feel unhappy like a new born child
Now, when my time is up, you wait and see
These walls and bars won't keep that stuff from me

[KEZHEAD]

Give me some water
'Cause I shot a man on the Mexican border
Cool, cool water
Give me some water
I need a little water

[Brian129]

We all need a lot of lovin' my oh my
Yeah, a whole lot of lovin' my oh my
I can lend a helpin' hand if you ain't go nothing planned
We all need some lovin' my oh oh my

[rdiberna]

I have tried to find my way
To make it through to a better day
I have cried a mighty song
But in the morning everything was gone
So come on water, sweet water, wash me down
So come on water, sweet water, wash me down
I have tried so many times
To put out the devil's fire
But every time I sit down to pray
The devil's charm pulls me away
So come on water, sweet water, wash me down
Come on water, sweet water, wash me down

[KEZHEAD]

Stopped in to a church I passed along the way
Well, I got down on my knees (got down on my knees)
And I began to pray (I began to pray)
You know the preacher likes the cold (preacher likes the cold)
He knows that I'm gonna stay (knows I'm gonna stay)
Oh now, California dreamin'
(California dreamin) On such a winter's day, oh yeah...

[Brian129]

Now my widow she weeps by my grave
Tears flow free for her man she couldn't save
Shot down in cold blood by a gun that carried fame
All for a useless and no good worthless claim

[rdiberna]

The judge said son, what is your alibi,
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die
I spoke not a word, thou it meant my life
For I'd been in the arms of my best friend's wife
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail

[KEZHEAD]

When I was just a little boy
Standin' to my Daddy's knee
My Papa said “Son, don't let the man get you
And do what he done to me?
'Cause he'll get you
'Cause he'll get ya now, now"

[rdiberna]

Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Hoo, they're red, white and blue
And when the band plays "Hail to the chief"
Ooh, they point the cannon at you, Lord
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no senator's son, son
It ain't me, it ain't me
I ain't no furtunate one, no

[KEZHEAD]

I'm gonna take a freight train
Down at the station, Lord
I don't care where it goes
Gonna climb a mountain
The highest mountain
I'll jump off, nobody gonna know
Can't you see, whoa, can't you see
What that woman, Lord, she been doin' to me
Can't you see, can't you see
What that woman, she been doin' to me

[rdiberna]

Took my family away from our Carolina home
Had dreams about the west and started to roam
Six long months on a dust covered trail
They say heaven's at the end
But so far it's been hell
And there's fire on the mountain
Lightening in the air
Gold in them hills and it's waiting for me there

[KEZHEAD]

Now honey I've been a fool but a bigger fool
I can't remember when I've been
Just to open up my heart
And let you walk right in
Now there's one thing in this life
Ain't hard for me to do
That's as soon as I kiss the lips of another woman
I'm gonna forget all about you
So I don't want you to think
… That you're the first one
To leave me out here on my own
No this ain't gonna be the first time
This ol' cowboy spent the night alone

[Brian129]

You fool no one
Waiting to see if I'm gone
So hard to see
You are taking your chances with me
If I find you with some other man
You know what I'm gonna do
Better run if you see me comin'
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah

[rdiberna]

You better run, you better do what you can
Don't wanna see no blood, don't be a macho man
You wanna be tough, better do what you can
So beat it, but you wanna be bad

[KEZHEAD]

Whatcha tryin' to do to my heart
Whatcha tryin' to do to my heart
You go around, tellin' lies, and now you wanna compromise
Whatcha tryin' to do to my heart
You better run, you better hide, you better leave from my side, yeah

[Brian129]

I'm just arriving in the city
And there's music on my mind
Lookin' for my destination and
My home is far behind

'Cause it's a long road ahead
And you can make it in the end
I'm gonna make it with my friends
And I'm tryin'

[rdiberna]

Blue light rain
Whoa, unbroken chain
Looking for familiar faces
In an empty window pane
Listening for the secret
Searching for the sound
But I could only hear the preacher
And the baying of his hounds

[KEZHEAD]

Screams break the silence
Waking from the dead of night
Vengence is boiling
He's returned to kill the light
Then when he's found who he's looking for
Listen in awe and you'll hear him
Bark at the moon
