In Dixie Land where I was born
Early on one frosty morn'
Look away! Look away! Look away! Dixie Land

I've seen the bright lights of Memphis and the Commodore Hotel
And, underneath a street lamp I met a Southern Belle
Well, she took me to the river where she cast her spell
And, in that southern moonlight she sang the song so well
If you'll be my Dixie Chicken, I'll be your Tennessee Lamb
And we can walk together down in Dixieland
Down in Dixieland
Inspiration move me brightly / Light my heart with sense and color /
Hold away despair / More than this I will not ask / Faced with mysteries dark and vast.............

Well, since my baby left me
Well, I found a new place to dwell
Well, it's down at the end of Lonely Street
At Heartbreak Hotel
Where I'll be, I'll be so lonely, baby
Well, I'm so lonely
I'll be so lonely, I could die
Dodging lions and a-wasting time
In memory of ChiefScott

He threw a nickel in the wishin' well
Crossed the street to the Rose Hotel
He got no answer when he rang the bell
So he gave a little shout
Tiny watchman with a baseball bat
A cheap cigar and a Persian cat
Told him it was too bad that
She had just checked out
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
Sometimes you don't get nothin at all
Inspiration move me brightly / Light my heart with sense and color /
Hold away despair / More than this I will not ask / Faced with mysteries dark and vast.............

I sit around at night and listen to the radio
If I get real bored I might have a little smoke
Yeah I got a permit to wear this .38
But listen my life's worth more than the minimum wage
I'm the night watchman
I make the rounds
I'm the night watchman
I gotta keep my nose to the ground
Dodging lions and a-wasting time
In memory of ChiefScott

It seems that the wrath of the gods got a punch on the nose
And it's startin' to flow, I think I might be sinkin'
Throw me a line, if I reach it in time
Meet you up there where the path runs straight and high

Shaking in the garden, the fear within you grows,
Here there may be roses, to punch you in the nose.
Put my arms around you, love you til you cry,
Wrap you in your sweet perfume and squeeze you 'til you die.
When push comes to shove, you're afraid of love.

I know you're sick and tired
Of long and winding roads
Places to be and people to see
But, never sure of where to go
So many ways and so many choices
So many sweet and soothing voices
None of them hers
No, none of them hers
For nothing aches like a broken heart
Lying awake in the lonely dark
Nothing aches like a broken heart
Don't try to love again too soon
You're rubbing salt in an open wound
Nothing aches like a broken heart
Inspiration move me brightly / Light my heart with sense and color /
Hold away despair / More than this I will not ask / Faced with mysteries dark and vast.............

Wind inside and the wind outside
Tangled in the window blind
Tell me why you treat me so unkind
Down where the sun don't shine
Lonely and I call your name
No place left to go, ain't that a shame?
So many roads, I tell you
New York to San Francisco
So many roads I know
All I want is one to take me home
From the high road to the low
So many roads I know
So many roads, so many roads
Dodging lions and a-wasting time
In memory of ChiefScott

So many roads, so many trains to ride
many roads, so many trains to ride
I've got to find my baby before I'll be satisfied
I was standing by my window when I heard that whistle blow
standing by my window when I heard that whistle blow
You know I thought it was a streamline but it was a b and o
It was a mean old fireman and a cruel old engineer
mean old fireman and a cruel old engineer
That took away my baby and left me standing here
Inspiration move me brightly / Light my heart with sense and color /
Hold away despair / More than this I will not ask / Faced with mysteries dark and vast.............

The mountain is high, the valley is low
And you're confused 'bout which to go
So I flew in to give you a hand
And lead you into, the promised land
Come on and take a free ride
Free ride
Come on and take it by my side
Come on and take a free ride!
Dodging lions and a-wasting time

Well there's a dark cloud rising from the desert floor
I packed my bags and I'm heading straight into the storm
Gonna be a twister to blow everything down
That ain't got the faith to stand its ground
Blow away the dreams that tear you apart
Blow away the dreams that break your heart
Blow away the lies that leave you nothing but lost and brokenhearted
The dogs on Main Street howl 'cause they understand
If I could take one moment into my hands
Mister I ain't a boy, no I'm a man
And I believe in a promised land
Inspiration move me brightly / Light my heart with sense and color /
Hold away despair / More than this I will not ask / Faced with mysteries dark and vast.............

After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead
Dodging lions and a-wasting time
In memory of ChiefScott

Cause she'll never break, never break, never break, never break
This heart of stone
Oh, no, no, no, this heart of stone

Now I'm just wondering why you think
That you can get to me with anything
Seems like you'd know by now
When and how I get down
And with all that I've been through
I'm still around
Don't you ever make no mistake
Baby I've got what it takes
And there's no way you'll ever get to me
Why can't you see that you'll never ever hurt me
'Cause I wont let it be, see I'm too much for you baby
Inspiration move me brightly / Light my heart with sense and color /
Hold away despair / More than this I will not ask / Faced with mysteries dark and vast.............

The leaves are turning yellow red and brown
They're falling off the trees and covering the ground
It's getting dark early and the sun ain't warm
There'll be snow on the ground before too long
And I wonder where you are tonight
Yes I wonder where you are tonight

Leaves are falling all around
It's time I was on my way
Thanks to you I'm much obliged
For such a pleasant stay
But now it's time for me to go
The autumn moon lights my way
For now I smell the rain
And with it pain
And it's headed my way

New frost on the windshield
Of my old Chevrolet
Clouds on that horizon
Looks like a storm is headed my way
And I've been driving? half the night
Just listening to old George Strait
Playing it loud, and feeling the sound
Of The Cowboy Rides Away
Well I'm just a wandering soul
Why I can't stay, I'll never know
The open road just calls to me
Like the sound of a distant melody
And I go
Inspiration move me brightly / Light my heart with sense and color /
Hold away despair / More than this I will not ask / Faced with mysteries dark and vast.............

Well, my time went so quickly
I went lickety-splitly
Out to my old '55
As I pulled away slowly
Feeling so holy
God knows I was feeling alive
And now the sun's coming up, yes it is
I'm riding with Lady Luck
Freeway, cars and trucks
Dodging lions and a-wasting time
In memory of ChiefScott

Running on-running on empty
Running on-running blind
Running on-running into the sun
But I'm running behind
Honey you really tempt me
You know the way you look so kind
I'd love to stick around but I'm running behind
You know I don't even know what I'm hoping to find
Running into the sun but I'm running behind
Inspiration move me brightly / Light my heart with sense and color /
Hold away despair / More than this I will not ask / Faced with mysteries dark and vast.............
