My honey’s way cross town
On Struggle Street
When he needs a break, It can’t be found
On Struggle Street
He’s got no time to sleep
On Struggle Street
All the time to worry but no time to eat
On Struggle Street
But I’m happy as a clam, on Rosey Ave
Don’t have a problem, I don’t have a worry
I don’t have a care
You see nobody ‘cos nobody is there
On Struggle Street
In this place he’s the goddamn mayor
On Struggle Street

Don't You

Don’t you rain on my parade
If you make it rain, make it rain all day
Give me all the water n wash my blues away
Don’t you rain on my parade
Don’t you go and cramp my style
If you cramp my style, you better stay all night
We got time for you to dress me up and down a while
Don’t you go and cramp my style
Don’t you go and pick my fruit
If you pick my fruit, here’s what you gotta do
Pick em all and squeeze and give me the juice
Don’t you go and pick my fruit
Don’t you go and let my motor run
If you let it run, and you had your fun
Find a way to jump it and turn me back on
Don’t you go and let my motor run

Money!
You go to get it all then it’s gone
Sell your soul for a little dough
And I’ll tell you just how much you owe
(you owe me lotsa)
Money!
And here’s rule number one
There’s only two kinds, not enough and none
And If you lose it all ya done
Everybody wants a piece of the pie
And I’ll tell you all the reasons why
It’s the cost of living and the price is high
It’s the cost of getting by
(It costs a lotsa)
Money!
It’s enough to make you lose your mind
Gimme gimme gimme gimme
Money money
Gimme all ya money

I'm The Worst
01:58
|
|||
|
I lie and cheat and steal
I never pick up the bill
There’s always time to kill
I’m the worst, I’m just the worst
Won’t lend you 50 cents
Drive away when I make a dent
Strut around like I’m heaven sent
I’m the worst, I’m just the worst
Talking all the time without saying a thing
Think I would make a better king
Oh man you should hear me sing
I’m the worst, I’m just the worst
Get away with any old thing
You try to fly and I’ll clip your wings
Never get you that diamond ring
I’m the worst, I’m just the worst

There's No Coming Back
04:20

Oh, and it shows
It builds and builds and explodes
It’s a long way to go
To fall down, burning slow
And there’s no coming back from down here
There is no coming back from here
It’s a long way back from nowhere
There is no coming back from here
The rock in your shoe
Is a boulder you can’t move
The lash in your eye
Makes you blind
And there’s no coming back from down here
There is no coming back from here
It’s a long way back from nowhere
There is no coming back from here
It’s about time
And you let me know
A fool such as I
Haven’t a clue
And there’s no coming back from down here
There is no coming back from here
It’s a long way back from nowhere
There is no coming back from here

I’m goin, but not movin anywhere
I got them Truckee river blues
I’m workin, but I’m floatin, ‘round the river bend

At home it’s winter, but it’s summer in California
I got them Truckee river blues

Honeymoon

Make my darlin coffee in the morning
Make a cup a tea in the afternoon
When she’s cold, I’ll bring a blanket too
Cos I love my darlin’ yes I do
Wake up bright an’ early in the morning
Hard at work right into the afternoon
Evening comes, I’m in my darlin’s arms
To spend my night loving you
Me’n’my darlin’ gettin’ married in the sunny spring time
Me’n’my darlin gonna dress up mighty fine
A long white dress, me in grandaddy’s vest
I’ll be yours and you be mine
She doesn’t like rise when it’s sun-up
I kiss her on the forehead when I leave
If she had her way, she’d stay i bed all day
She’d love it but not more than she loves me

This, This is where all the fun ends
Over and over again
Close your eyes count to ten
Till the end
Wait, A good thing gone to waste
Fall in, fall away
Run away, don’t run in place
Don’t wait
What a fool, I push, and I pull
Didn’t do what I knew I should
Did I do all I could?
I knew you would
But this
This is where it comes to land
This was always the plan
To the woods dont come back again
This is where all the fun ends

Out On The Ranch Again
05:24
|
|||
|
Got my winter coat on the high grass plains
It snowed the night before and it’s startin again
Three feet out the door and soon you’ll freeze to death
But it sure feels good to be down here out on the ranch again
There no good coffee and not enough air
Fight the barnyard mice when you’re going to bed
Got rocky mountain high and it’s going to my head
But it sure feels good to be down here out on the ranch again
My feet are frozen and my fingers are sore
From the 4 feet of snow fallin on the floor
Got my scarf and coat and gloves, but for s-s-sure it’s not enough
But it sure feels good to be down here out on the ranch again
Broke my neck in Breckenridge and I’m going to die
Flying straight off the ridge at Cliffhanger Drive
It’s a long month in Longmont but the foothills are a nice drive
But it sure feels good to be down here out on the ranch again
But it sure feels good to be down here out on the ranch again

That Man Is No Good
02:53
|
|||
|
If you’d been there,
and you’d seen what I saw
Seen what I saw, heard the phone call to Ma
That man is no good
Bruised and sad, and bitter and mad
That man is no good
I can see you
but you won’t look me in the eye
Won’t look me in the eye and cross to the other side
That man is no good
It’s not time for old I told you so
It’s not the time but I bloody well told you so
That man is no good
|

I get sad when I’m cold and I’m cold all the time
I’m afraid to get old, But I’m not afraid to die
And I know I’m told not to make that bet
But I’m not sure you’re not sick of me yet
I feel stuck and sick of regret
Too much too soon will confine you to bed
Or a jail or a cell, time’s not mine to tell
That we’d all be better off alone
So far, so good, So who should you
Who should you be running to
I’ve had a lot to hang my thoughts on
The pieces fit from a different box
And just like that, I’ve turned out the lights
I’m just about ready to say goodnight
And I know I’m told not to make that bet
But I’m not sure you’re not sick of me yet
