Cheeky Monkey
Dance down the street like a dust devil
drawn by the hand of Picasso
Cheeky Monkey
Mermaid fairy dream, streaming sky-blue rainbow
Cheeky Monkey
Cheeky Monkey
Head like a berry like a strawberry warmed
By the heart of the earth
Cheeky Monkey
Inside the sky’s blue infinite worth
Cheeky Monkey
Cheeky Monkey
Like a red bell pepper sweet and mild on the mantel
Wear your boa like a crown
Cheeky Monkey
Mischief and love, somethin’ to be proud of
Cheeky Monkey
Cheeky Monkey
Your smile and your aura like a new blown bud
fallen fresh from the tree
Cheeky Monkey
Blossom sunshine face, flowers set us free
Cheeky Monkey

Driving Won’t Get You There,
Driving Won’t Get You There.
One more breath of fresh air,
Driving Won’t Get You There.
If you wanna get ‘it in your soul,
If you wanna get ‘it in your soul,
Put the pieces back together whole
So you can get ‘it in your soul,
Runnin’ won’t take you away,
Runnin’ won’t take you away,
Wherever you roll down the highway,
You just can’t run away,
Drivin’ won’t take you home,
Drivin’ won’t take you home,
No matter how far you roam,
Drivin’ won’t take you home.
Get down with your spirit,
You gotta get down with your spirit,
Get right down, don’t fear it,
You gotta get down with your spirit.
Driving Won’t Get You There,
Driving Won’t Get You There.
No matter how fast you dare,
Driving Won’t Get You There.
Driving Won’t Get You There,
Driving Won’t Get You There,

I'm Still There
04:35
|
|||
|
It’s easy to say, on a summer’s day
Look how bright I am
I remain unchanged, Shining for you
Up in a ceiling of blue
But when it rains and the sky is grey
You must remember I have not gone away
When you’re sleeping so warm in your bed
I’m Still There
When dreams take you, to faraway lands
And the stars are twinkling
In the darkened heavens, I’m Still There
I’m Still There
In the coldest winter when snows make it hard to see
Snowflake silver dollars falling hard through the years
know even then when I may seem so far off
I’m Still There
And if the sky turns an angry shade of ebony
threatening with thunder Death’s sad harmony
Though days shorten, like memory
and lengthen like kneaded dough,
I remain unchanged, I’m Still There
I’m Still There
Aging in a time you cannot imagine
know not because I tell you, know because it’s true
One day you’ll cry for those who’ve gone too soon
Someday they’ll cry for you
Remember to tell them, before that day comes
I’m still there, a shining star
Shining for you, and those ahead of you
and those long behind, I’m Still There
I’m Still There

When my friends are happy,

Coyote

Ivory moon, cloudless sky, where you sleeping tonight, Coyote?
Ivory moon, river on your right, where sleeping tonight, Coyote
Are you looking for a rabbit, are you lookin’ for love,
Is it just an old habit, from the stars above?
Some call you trickster, some call you scamp
Using the full moon as your own streetlamp.
Ivory moon, cloudless sky, where you sleeping tonight, Coyote?
Ivory moon, river on your right, where sleeping tonight, Coyote?
Runnin’ through the woods, playin’ in the snow,
Listenin’ to the wind, not sure where to go.
Livin’ by your wits and nature’s good graces
Your ancient and ageless, with a thousand faces.
Ivory moon, cloudless sky, where you sleeping tonight, Coyote?
Ivory moon, river on your right, where sleeping tonight, Coyote?
It’s the wildest party when you play with your friends,
Then the owls call you home as morning ascends.
The shadow’s your blanket, the daylight your dreams,
Til the night wakes you up , and you’re up to your schemes.
Ivory moon, cloudless sky, where you sleeping tonight, Coyote?
Ivory moon, river on your right, where sleeping tonight, Coyote

Whether or not you’re coming back

It Wasn't Me
04:35
|

Somebody shot Molly Bondurant
Out in the middle of the street.
Upstairs you’d get anything you’d want
But now she’s lyin’ cold between the sheets.
Marshal, It Wasn’t Me
No, Marshal, It Wasn’t Me.
You know I’m mad at the whole wide world
But I’d never kill a girl.
I asked the judge why was I accused?
“It was your pearl-handled gun the murderer used.”
“But I was sleepin’ off a drunk that night,
And the shot was fired in the pale moonlight”.
“Judge,” I moaned, “Somebody stole my luck,
While I was sleepin’ drunk in the back of my truck.”
“That may be,” he said, “But you shoulda been up,
Because, Son, you’re completely f-cked”.
The gallows wait outside the door
One more night and one drink more.
Think of me when the night’s stars blaze,
It’s too late to change my drinkin’ ways.

Last In Line
04:52
|

|
I never meant to make… you play that game
The last thing on my mind… was to be unkind
I only wanted to do... the best I can.
‘Cause Baby, you were the Last In Line
You were the last to know, we ran out of time.
A runaway team of horses can’t bring you back to me
A freight train steaming down… the track won’t bring you back
I put you on a boat and sent you off to sea,
‘Cause Baby, you were the Last In Line
You were the last to know, we ran out of time.
Now that I need you… I’m out on my own
Can you ever forgive me for all the things I’ve said and done?
At the very end… on the day we said goodbye
You were kinder to me than ever I deserved to be
It hurt me too… livin’ with the lies,
‘Cause Baby, you were the Last In Line
You were the last to know, we ran out of time.
Now that I want you… I’m out on the run
Please forgive me for all the things I’ve said and done.
(na na na na-na-na, na-na na na nah-na)

You got me Floatin’… like a leaf out on the breeze.
You got me Floatin’… like a leaf out on the breeze.
‘Cause when I woke up this morning
you were right there next to me.
You say I’m flirtin’… with every waitress that I meet.
You say I’m flirtin’… with every waitress that I meet
But when I get hungry,
Don’t you know you are my meat.
Well, I know you call me sweetheart
I call you Honeybee.
There’s only one woman in this whole wide world for me
Yes, I’m Floatin’… like a leaf out on the breeze.
‘Cause when I woke up this morning,
you were right there next to me.
I’m a’wondrin’... how I ever won your love.
I’m a’wondrin’... how I ever won your love.
You are more than I deserve,
And you’re all I’m thinking of.

Peace Rain Down
03:44
|
|||
|
I been up all night thinkin’
and now I’m finally waitin’ for the dawn
It ain’t like I’ve been drinkin’
and I ain’t done nothing wrong.
But I’m worried ‘bout the world we’ll leave behind
I’m worried ‘bout the days ahead
I’m worried ‘bout the world our kids will find
And I’m tired of countin’ the dead
I just want Peace to rain down on us all just like from heaven
Peace Rain Down, like when I throw that lucky seven,
Onto that Vegas felt, I can shuffle what I’ve been dealt
On the altar of love I’ve knelt,
And I have prayed, prayed, prayed.
I spent half my life gamblin’
But I hope you can understand
I think that we’re all losing
Bluffing on an empty hand.
Gotta hold’em or fold’em and make it right
Get from the dark into the light
Gotta make this world a better place
So all of us can have a taste
Now I’ve had my heart broken
I didn’t think that I could feel
But love shone down again on me
And I knew that I was healed.
So ya gotta give thanks for another chance
You gotta thank the stars above
For every day you have the time to dance
And every time you get to love

She's Gone
03:40
|

|
I always knew you’d bring me pain; And girl, you know it’s true.
To leave me standin’ in the rain; And go and leave me blue.
That train rolls farther down the track; Haulin’ tons of freight
I hear that whistle fade away; And all I do is wait.
It means so much to me… Just to see her smile
But some things aren’t meant to be… Lord I miss you child
That dream’s just a memory… the wonder in her eyes
Now there’s nothin’ left;
‘cause She’s Gone
Miles and miles between us now; What do I hope to find.
Prayin’ that I never reach, the ending of that line.
Waitin’ at the station now, and still I hope to see
That locomotive comin’ round the bend, bring her back to me.
It means so much to me… Just to see her smile
But some things aren’t meant to be… Lord I miss you child
That dream’s just a memory… the wonder in her eyes
Now there’s nothin’ left;
‘cause She’s Gone
It means so much to me… Just to see her smile
But some things aren’t meant to be… Lord I miss you child
That dream’s just a memory… the wonder in her eyes
Now there’s nothin’ left;

If I Fell In Love With You, All Over Again
Would I be sorry, my mind all in a spin?
Or would it be… the finest hour of all?
I don’t know if I can take it that far,
The scars are so fresh, my heart beats too hard
I wish I could believe…the words when you called.
‘Cause you hurt me once before
I ain’t askin’ for more.
I felt just like a first-class fool
When you laughed and said ‘be cool’.
If I Fell In Love With You, All Over Again
Would you walk away like you did that day back when?
Or would you stick around… in it for the long haul?
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me what I want to hear
Whisper words of love, tell me
there ain’t nothin’ for me to fear
If I Fell In Love With You, All Over Again

The Man Next To Me
05:02
|
|||
|
When I’m done, when I’m gone,
Take the thorns from my head,
Take me down, lay me down,
That’s where I’ll make my bed.
I don’t wanna hear no cryin’
Cause it ain’t that kind o’ dead,
When I’m done, when I’m gone
Take the thorns right from my head.
I been workin’ on this chain gang for 47 years,
Bustin’ rocks, punchin’ clocks, but my blood still runs red.
One day they came and got me – and they conked me on the head.
And when I awoke, the man next to me spoke, and this is what he said.
I opened my eyes to the sunrise, and I knew I’d lost my way,
I opened my mouth, nothin’ came out, ‘cause I don’t know how to pray.
I looked around and I wondered, will I live another day?
And then no joke, the man next to me spoke, and this is what I heard him say.
Now my arms are so tired and I can’t hold up my head,
I look around, blood’s flowin’ down, like a shiny river of red,
The light around me is fading, but there’s a brighter light ahead,
It was like I awoke when the man next to me spoke, and this is what he said.

Hey Babe…
I’m lookin’ at your number in my telephone book, unh-huh
Hey Babe…
I’m lookin’ at your number in my telephone book, unh-huh
That’s what it took,
To make me loo-oo-oo-ook
And call you again.
It’s true…
I know it is, you told me to “go on’n hit the road”
It’s true…
I know it is, you told me to “go on’n hit the road”
That’s what you said,
Was all in your heh-heh-heh-head
And your mind done closed.
Hey girl…
I was hopin’ you’d give it one more whirl.
Hey girl…
I was hopin’ you’d give it one more whirl.
One more dance,
One more cha-aa-aa-ance
To save our romance.

Queen Of The Armadillos
03:19

|
I used to know a girl from Amarillo
She was the undisputed Queen Of The Armadillos,
With my head firmly planted on my pillow
I shed a tear for that girl from Amarillo.
Amarillo! Armadillo!
You know I love that girl from Amarillo.
Her father pumped up oil out of El Paso,
Lived on Taco Bell and bowls of raspberry jello,
He was a most accommodatin’ mellow fellow,
He let me date that girl from Amarillo.
Amarillo! Armadillo!
He let me date that girl from Amarillo.
Well, she took up with a no-good bum in Austin,
I headed west lookin’ for some mountains to get lost in.
The last I heard was a letter postmarked Boston,
She was movin’ in to the Village right off Houston.
Amarillo! Armadillo!
The Village got that girl from Amarillo.
One day that girl called me on the telephone,
Said that way up north it never felt like home.
With her old man livin’ in a retirement home in Odessa,
“Come and see me some time, I live in San Antone”.
Amarillo! Armadillo!
You know I love that girl from Amarillo.
Amarillo! Armadillo!
You know I love the Queen Of the Armadillos.
