99 In The Shade

I feel I'm burning up with fever
But the fire's feeling really good tonight
And it's alright I'm gonna see
Sahara Jack and Suntan Sally
Somebody tells me even
Tommy's coming down tonight
If Gina says it's alright

I'm gonna see those Senoritas
Lying under the sun
They're greasing it up
With know I want to be their blanket
Gonna tell every girl
Hey, baby... You're the one...

Oh tell the boys I'm on my way
I got the radio blasting in my old man's Chevrolet
I got a party in my pocket cause you know I just got paid
And I'm feeling fine, it's 99 in the shade
I'm feeling fine, it's 99 in the shade

When the sun goes down that's when the street heats up
Senorita Margarita fills your empty cup tonight
She make you feel alright
A good time here don't cost much money
Just a little sweet talking and a pretty native honey
And you're set for life
Or one hell of a nigth

I'm gonna see those sons of beaches
Out there living it up
The surf and the sand,
Man that life ain't so tough
So get me in the action so I can tell
Every girl she's the one

Oh tell the boys I'm on my way
I got the radio blasting in my old man's Chevrolet
I got a party in my pocket cause you know I just got paid
And I'm feeling fine, it's 99 in the shade
I'm feeling fine, it's 99 in the shade

All I Want Is Everything

Some 15 year old sits on his porch
Just half-past noon
Trying to figure out just what he's doing
Why he had to grow up so soon
With all the gangs, all the guns
Whatcha gonna learn at school

I used to know this Puerto Rican girl
Who lied to change her life
She changed her name her face because
The crass looked greener on the other side
She turned her back, she ran away
Straight into the night
Her friends, her family feel the pain
But she's the one who cries

Tell me what you want (tell me want you want)
Tell me what you need (tell me want you need)
I want everything (I want it all)
I've had enough of havin' nothing
I won't take just anything
Got my mind set on something
All I want is everything

It's my life Mr.-I ain't running
I'm no puppet on a string
I want more than I seen coming
All I Want Is Everything
All I Want Is Everything

Say a prayer for Donnie
He died in his room just the other day
His brother came home
Found him dead on the floor
With a needle in his vein
Cops come round with a body bag
They said Donnie was a casualty
I said, all it's about is the boy checked
He couldn't handle reality

Tell me what you want (tell me want you want)
Tell me what you need (tell me want you need)
I want everything (I want it all)
I've had enough of havin' nothing
I won't take just anything
Got my mind set on something
All I want is everything

It's my life Mr.-I ain't running
I'm no puppet on a string
I want more than I seen coming
All I Want Is Everything
All I Want Is Everything
I want it all

Tell me what you want (I'll tell you what you want )
Tell me what you want (won't you come and tell me what you want)
Tell me what you want (I'll tell you what you want )
Tell me what you want (won't you come and tell me what you want)
I Want Everything (I want it all)
All I want
All I want
All I Want Is Everything
I want it all
I want it I want it I want it I want it I want it I want it

All That Really Matters

When I look at you
You're beautiful
There comes a time in someone's life
When you find things that matter

And every time we touch
The love runs deep
We realize it's our to keep
And that's all that really matters

You'll always be my sweet addiction
In this life my saving grace
You're all that really matters
You know it's true
Ain't no me without you

When you're in the dark
Baby don't despair
I'm just a spark away
I will be there
And that's all that matters

You'll always be my sweet addiction
In this life my saving grace
You're all that really matters
You know it's true
Ain't no me without you

We'll share our lives together
Yes our flame burns on forever
And at the final curtain call
We can say we did it all

You'll always be my sweet addiction
In this life my saving grace
You're all that really matters
You know it's true
Ain't no me without you

And when we turns to dust
And we fly away
There'll be a light still
Burning bright
And that's all that really matters

Always

This Romeo is bleeding
But you can't see his blood
It's nothing but some feelings
That this old dog kicked up
It's been raining since you left me
Now I'm drowning in the flood
You see I've always been a fighter
But without you, I give up

Now I can't sing a love song
Like the way it's meant to be
Well, I guess I'm not that good anymore
But Baby that's just me

Yeah I will love you baby,
Always
And I'll be there forever and a day,
Always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme
I know when I die you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you,
Always

Now your pictures that you left behind
Are just memories of a different life
Some that made us laugh some that made us cry,
One that made you
Have to say goodbye
What I'd give to run my fingers
Through your hair
Touch your lips
To hold you near

When you say your prayers try to understand
I've made mistakes
I'm just a man
When he holds you close
When he pulls you near
When he says the words you've been needing to hear
I'll wish I was him cause those words are mine
To say to you till the end of time

Yeah I will love you baby,
Always
And I'll be there forever and a day,
Always
If you told me to cry for you - I could
If you told me to die for you - I would
Take a look at my face
There's no price I won't pay
To say those words to you

Well there ain't no luck
In these loaded dice
But Baby if you give just one more try
We can pack up our old dreams
And our old lives
We'll find a place where the sun still shines

Yeah I will love you baby,
Always
And I'll be there forever and a day,
Always
I'll be there till the stars don't shine
Till the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme
I know when I die you'll be on my mind
And I love you,
Always

Always Run To You

The clock strikes ten
Out on the streets again
I been looking for something to please me
Since I don't know when
Out on the dark side of town
Another rumbles gone down
And life on the high side isn't what this boys about
She's got something I want man, it's something I need
It takes more than the night to satisfy me...

I stand accused
That I can always run to you
Any road that you choose
I can always run to you
I stand accused
I can always run to you
I run to you
Baby, I can always run

To a heart of chrome
And a soul of steel
We've done more white lines than you'll know
Any one we could steal
And when I give her the gun
You know she feels so right
And we don't let go when we're alone when
I'm holding her so tight
She's got something I want man, it's something I need
It takes more than the night to satisfy me

I stand accused
I can always run to you
Any road that you choose
I can always run to you
I stand accused
I can always run to you
I run to you
Baby, I can always run

And when the morning comes and I go to sleep
When I close my eyes she's waiting for me
I know that tonight she'll satisfy me

I stand accused
I can always run to you
Any road that you choose
I can always run to you
I stand accused
I can always run to you
I run to you
Baby, I can always run

August 7, 4:15

It was another day
A perfect Texas afternoon
A mother and two children play
The way the always do
As they raced home from the mailbox
A mother and her son
Against a little girl of 6 years old
The independant one

The deputies went door to door
Through all the neighborhood
They said I got some news to tell you folks
I'm afraid it ain't so good
Somehow something happened
Someone got away
Someone got the answers
For what happened here today

Oh no, Oh no, Oh no, no, no, no
Tell me it was just a dream
August 7 4:15
God closed His eyes and the world got mean
August 7 4:15

Now the people from the papers
And the local TV news
Tried to find the reason
Cop dogs sniffed around for clues
Someone shouted "Hit and Run"
The coroner cried "Foul"
Her blue dress was what she wore
The day they laid her body down

Oh no, Oh no, Oh no, no, no, no
Tell me it was just a dream
August 7 4:15
God closed His eyes and the world got mean
August 7 4:15

I know tonight that there's an angel
Up on Heaven's highest hill
And no one there can hurt you baby
No one ever will
Somewhere someone's conscience
Is like a burning bed
The flames are all around you
How you gonna sleep again

Oh no, Oh no, Oh no, no, no, no
Tell me it was just a dream
August 7 4:15
God closed His eyes and the world got mean
August 7 4:15

Captain Crash And The Beauty Queen From Mars

Dressed up for a big date
Like Halloween day but it was Fourth of July now
A car crash with a suitcase and a painted face
She was one of a kind
She wears a plastic crown like Cinderella
And roller skates in bed

Crash rides the greyhound from his hometown
When he comes around 'cause they don't let him drive now
Mixed up as a milkshake
But make no mistake
They're shooting for the stars

You and me
We're invincible together
We can be so tragical, whatever
Dressed up just like ziggy but he couldn't play guitar
Captain Crash and the beauty queen from mars

Share a toothpick, trading lipstick
Watching traffic for days at the diner
Holding hands, making big plans
Playing Superman, he was wearing eyeliner
Another local legend and his longtime lucky charm

You and me
We're invincible together
We can be so tragical, whatever
Dressed up just like ziggy but he couldn't play guitar
Captain Crash and the beauty queen from mars

They're drunk on love as you can get
Getting high on lust and cigarettes
Living life with no regrets
At least they're gonna try to fly

You and me
We're invincible together
We can be so tragical, whatever
We're Sid and Nancy
Fred and Ginger
Clyde and Bonnie
Liz and Richard
Kurt and Courtney
Bacall and Bogie
Joltin' Joe and Ms. Monroe
Here's captain crash and the beauty queen from mars

Chained

Hey, what's this feeling
I've never been down this far before
I was scared of believing
That love would never find my door

I was chained
Chained
Chained to my broken dreams
I never knew I was supposed to be
Waiting for someone to come and rescue me
Rescue me
Rescue me

Hey am I dreaming?
I never woke up from night before
Unaware I was bleeding
Slowly dying like the sun going down once more

I was chained
Chained
Chained to my broken dreams
I never knew just where my life would lead
Hoping that someone would come and rescue me
Rescue me
Rescue me

Alone in the darkness
'Til saw the light
Shining from your eyes
Now it burns inside and it keeps me alive

Lord I've been chained
I've been chained, yeah

Was chained
Chained
Chained to these broken dream
I never knew who supposed to be
Hoping that someone would come and rescue me
I've been chained
Chained
I've been chained to these broken dreams
I never knew just where my life would lead
Waiting for you to come and rescue me
Hoping that someone would come and
Rescue me
Rescue me
Rescue me ooh yeah
Rescue me

Church of Desire

Woke up in a cold sweat
In the middle of the night
Seems like a lifetime
When you're wondering who's wrong or right
One confession would resurrect the truth
Revenge or forgiveness for sins between me and you

Now we dance with the devil down lonely street, lonely street

Looking for a window in the house of tears
Living in hell, I pray the rain disappears
I'm headed for a breakdown
And the fever runs higher
As I kneel at the altar I can feel your fire
In the church of desire
Church of desire

You never find a reason why love falls from grace
Some kind of voodoo, like a spirit you can't embrace
There's a voice in the mirror, and a ghost in my heart
That relives the passion before we were torn apart

Now we dance with the devil down lonely street, lonely street

Looking for a window in the house of tears
Living in hell, I pray the rain disappears
I'm headed for a breakdown
And the fever runs higher
As I kneel at the altar
I can feel your fire
In the church of desire
Church of desire

Now we dance with the devil down lonely street, lonely street

Looking for a window in the house of tears
Living in hell, I pray the rain disappears
I'm headed for a breakdown
And the fever runs higher
As I kneel at the altar
I can feel your fire
In the church of desire
Church of desire

Cold Hard Heart

You said you loved
To watch me sleep
You put your head down on my chest
To hear me breath

Go on, take my last breath from me
I don't want to live no more
And cut my eyes so I can't see
I can't see you looking back
As you walk out the door

Cold, hard heart
Cold, cold heart
What's it gonna take
To break your cold, hard heart

I was a lover lost at sea
You found me washed up on the beach
You took me home, you gave me breakfast
I said I'd offer you protection
But you didn't charge a fee

Cold, hard heart
Cold, cold heart
What's it gonna take
To break your cold, hard heart

Cold, cold heart
Cold, cold heart
What's it gonna take
To break your cold, hard heart

What are you hiding undermeath that shirt
If you're the one to run, baby
Then you don't feel the hurt

Her hair so brown and eyes so green
You used to say I made good company
She'd bring me wine and sip her tea
Then you'd give yourself
What you could give to me

Cold, hard heart
Cold, cold heart
What's it gonna take
To break your cold, hard heart

Cold, hard heart
Cold, hard heart
What's it gonna take
To break your cold, hard heart

Come Back

Now that you're gone, I can see what
Was going on and how you lied
When you said you'd never love again
Friends telephone and they say
You weren't out alone last night
Can't you see that this broken heart
Is killing me Another night is falling
And now my heart is calling you back to me

Come back cause I need your love
Come back got to have your love
Come back bring your loving back to me
Come back cause it's been so long
Come back, and my love's still strong
Come back bring your loving back to me

You play words with love
It's just your silly way
I'm a fool cause I need you by my side again
Now it's too late you walk by
With another man
And I stand alone
Cause I know that you're not coming home
Another night is falling
And now my heart is calling you back to me

Come back cause I need your love
Come back got to have your love
Come back bring your loving back to me
Come back cause it's been so long
Come back, and my love's still strong
Come back bring your loving back to me
Another night is falling
And now my heart is calling you back to me

Damned

Lying here beside you
In someone else's bed
Knowing what we're doing's wrong
But better left unsaid
Your breathing sounds like screaming
I t's all that I can stand
His ring is on your finger
But my heart is in your hands

Damned if you love me
Damned if you don't
It's getting holding on
B ut I can't let you go
Damned if you don't need me
Damned if you do
God, I wish it wasn't me standing in these shoes
Damned, damned

A door slams like a shotgun
You jump up to your feet
But it's just the wind blowing
Through the secrets that we keep
Made me want to want you
God knows I need to need you
By the time this love is over
I'll be sleeping on the streets

Damned if you love me
Damned if you don't
It's getting holding on
But I can't let you go
Damned if you don't need me
Damned if you do
God, I wish it wasn't me standing in these shoes
Damned, damned

( Why won't you talk to me?)
Because I'm too blind to see
(Why won't you look at me?)
Because I'm afraid to see
(What do want from me?)
All that I can stand
The lies are on my tongue
And I can't turn back I know
My soul is Damned

Don't worry I ain't gonna call
Or hear say my name
And if you see me on the street
Don't wave just walk away
Our lives are getting twisted
Lets keep our story straight
The more that I resist it
My temptation turns to fate

Damned if you love me
Damned if you don't
It's getting holding on
But I can't let you go
Damned if you don't need me
Damned if you do
God, I wish it wasn't me standing in these shoes

Destination Anywhere

Hey Babe, it's me
Parked outside your house
I know that he's asleep
So listen to me now
Darlin', I'm tired of living
Just in your dreams
I'm getting out
You know we both sold our souls
We're just growing old
In this sleepy, dead-end town

Destination Anywhere
Name the place and I'll be there
Pack a bag a we're out of here
Let's run

Baby, we both been running
Uphill for too long
We both settled for something
G ot nothing
And we both know it's wrong
Go on admit it
We lived it, I'm leaving
- Get your boots and come on
I got my coat and my keys
I need you next to me
Then I'm gone, come on

Destination Anywhere
Name the place and I'll be there
Pack a bag a we're out of here
Let's run

Destination Anywhere
Left of right, I don't care
Maybe we'll just disappear
Like the sun

When these wheels spin
They can all eat our dust
As far as I'm concerned
This whole town's lost It's nuts
We won't be here
When they put us down
It's our big chance
I'm calling you now
They'll never let us go unless we try
I'm tired of living just to die
We're getting out of here
Destination anywhere

Destination Anywhere
Name the place and I'll be there
Pack a bag a we're out of here
Let's run

Destination Anywhere
Left of right, I don't care
Maybe we'll just disappear
Just like the sun
Come on, come on, come on

'Cause I don't know if I'm in your dreams
I want to be your everything

Gonna tell the world
I'm your only man
Baby you're my everything
Diamond ring
Darling you're my everything
Diamond ring
Now, you've got me on your string...

Downside Of Love

There's a danger of getting so close to you
There comes a time when the walls fade away
And when love turns to bitter blue
Sometimes it feels like it's so hard to stay

Last night we went to bed angry
We didin't mean what we said
Seems we never get past forgiveness
We try to hide, we never learn
To swallow our pride

On the down side of love
Where the love turns to hate
We just can't relate
On the down side of love
When you're misunderstood
'Cause when it hurts you
It hurts you so good

Baby life has no guarantee
Never knowing where love's
Gonna lead
Even through you're a part of me
We have to deal with our pain separately
Sometimes we both feel like victims
With no easy way out not, no, no
Somehow we stand by each other
When we're desperate, and drowning in
The shadows of doubt

On the down side of love
Where the love turns to hate
We just can't relate
On the down side of love
'Cause when it hurts you
It hurts you so good

The times we share the tenderness
Are the times that keep us alive
You get in my face, you rough me up
But baby you know
Can't hurt me 'nough, to give you up
And make me let go
Make me let got oh no, no

On the down side of love
Where the love turns to hate
We just can't relate
On the down side of love
When you're misunderstood
'Cause when it hurts you
It hurts you so good

Downside of love
Love's just a long, long road baby
Yes there's a down side of love
Stand by my side baby
When you're on the downside of love
No, no, no downside of love
'Cause it's a long, long road baby
Downside of love

Dry County

Across the border they turn
Water into wine
Some say it's the devil's blood
They're squeezing from the vine
Some say it's a saviour
In these hard and desperate times
Seems it helps me to forget
That we're just born to die

I came like so many did
To find the better life
To find my piece of easy street
To finally be alive
And I know nothing good comes easy
All good things take some time
I made my bed, I'll lie in it
To die in it's the crime

You can't help prosper
Where the streets are paved with gold
They say the oil wells ran deeper here
Than anybody's known
I packed up on my wife and kids
And left them both back home
Seems there's nothing in this paydirt
The ghosts are all I know

Now the oil's gone
The money's gone
And the jobs are gone
Still we're hangin' on

Down in dry county
They're swimming in the sand
Praying for some holy water
To wash the sins from off our hands
Here in dry county
The promise has run dry
Where nobody cries
And no one's getting out here alive

In the blessed name of Jesus
I heard a preacher say
That we are all God's children
And that He'd be back someday
And I hoped that he knew
Something as he drank his cup of wine
I didn't have too good of a feeling
As I head out to the night

I cursed the sky to open
I begged the clouds for rain
I prayed to God for water
For this burning in my veins
It was like my soul's on fire
And I had to watch the flames
All my dreams went up in ashes
And my future blew away

Now the oil's gone
And the money's gone
And the jobs have gone
Still we're hangin' on

Down in dry county
They're swimming in the sand
Praying for some holy water
To wash the sins from off our hands
Here in dry county
The promise has run dry
Where nobody cries
And no one's getting out here alive

Men spend their whole lives
Waiting praying for some big reward
But it seems sometimes
The payoff leaves you feeling
Like a dirty whore
If I could choose the way I'll die
Make it by gun or knife
'Cause the other way there's too much pain
Night after night after night

Down in dry county
They're swimming in the sand
Praying for some holy water
To wash the sins from off our hands
Here in dry county
The promise has run dry
Where nobody cries
And no one's getting out here
Dry county

Dyin' Ain't Much of a Livin'

A whiskey bottle comforts me
And tells me not to cry
While a full moon says a prayer for me
I try to close my eyes

But the night's there to remind me
Of the guns and the early graves
The ghosts appear as I fall asleep
To sing an outlaw's serenade

Dyin' ain't much of a livin'
When you're livin' on the run
Dyin' ain't much of a livin'
For the young
Is it too late to ask for forgiveness
For the things that I have done
Dyin' ain't much of a livin'
For the young

The desert's been a friend to me
It covers me by night
And a snakebite's not my enemy
But it taught me how to fight

All this fame don't bring you freedom
Though it wears a thin disguise
When an outlaw is just a man to me
And a man has to die

Dyin' ain't much of a livin'
When you're livin' on the run
Dyin' ain't much of a livin'
For the young
Is it too late to ask for forgiveness
For the things that I have done
Dyin' ain't much of a livin'
For the young

And I hope someone will pray for me
When it's my turn to die... pray for me

Dyin' ain't much of a livin'
When you're livin' on the run
Dyin' ain't much of a livin'
For the young
Is it too late to ask for forgiveness
For the things that I have done
Dyin' ain't much of a livin'
For the young
