Walking After Midnight @SONG: Mining For Gold we are miners, hard rock miners to the shaft house we must go pour your bottles on our shoulders we are marching to the slow on the line boys, on the line boys drill your holes and stand in line 'til the shift boss comes to tell you you must drill her out on top can't you feel the rock dust in your lungs it'll cut down a miner when he is still young two years and the silicosis takes hold and I feel like I'm dying from mining for gold yes, I feel like I'm dying from mining for gold @SONG: Misguided Angel I said, mama, he's crazy and he scares me but I want him by my side though he's wild and he's bad and sometimes just plain mad I need him to keep me satisfied I said, papa, don't cry cause it's alright and I see you in some of his ways though he might not give me the life that you wanted I'll love him the rest of my days misguided angel hangin' over me heart like a Gabriel, pure and white as ivory soul like a Lucifer, black and cold like a piece of lead misguided angel, love you 'til I'm dead I said, brother, you speak to me of passion you said never to settle for nothing less well, it's in the way he walks it's in the way he talks his smile, his anger and his kisses I said, sister, don't you understand he's all I ever wanted in a man I'm tired of sittin' around the T.V. every night hoping I'm finding a Mr. Right misguided angel hangin' over me heart like a Gabriel, pure and white as ivory soul like a Lucifer, black and cold like a piece of lead misguided angel, love you 'til I'm dead he says, baby, don't listen to what they say there comes a time when you have to break away he says, baby there are things we all cling to all our life it's time to let them go and become my wife misguided angel hangin' over me heart like a Gabriel, pure and white as ivory soul like a Lucifer, black and cold like a piece of lead Misguided angel, love you 'til I'm dead @SONG: Blue Moon Revisited (Song For Elvis) I only want to say that if there is a way I want my baby back with me 'cause he's my true love my only one don't you see and on that fateful day perhaps in the new sun of May my baby walks back into my arms I'll keep him beside me forever from harm you see I was afraid to let my baby stray I kept him too tightly by my side and then one sad day he went away and he died blue moon, you saw me standing alone without a dream in my heart without a love of my own blue moon, you knew just what I was there for you heard me saying a prayer for someone I really could care for I only want to say that if there is a way I want my baby back with me 'cause he's my true love my only one don't you see @SONG: I Don't Get It breaking away to the other side I wanna make sense of why we live and die I don't get it, I don't get it I ask my friends if they understand they just laugh at me and watch another band they don't worry, they don't worry lookin' for a way to lose my load I wanna make it easy to walk this road I can't find it, yeah I can't find it yeah, I'm looking for answers in so many places I open my mind, I don't get it walkin' this earth and keepin' my peace I do what I want but the price is steep it don't seem right, it don't seem right my mama she told me, one step at a time and sooner or later you'll walk that line I don't want to, I don't want to takin' my time to live and die I wanna find a way to do it right and I ease on and I ease on they say, one thing always leads to another I open my mind, I don't get it breaking away to the other side I wanna make sense of why we live and die I don't get it, I don't get it ... @SONG: I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry hear the lonesome whippoorwill his song's too blue to fly the midnight train is a-winding low I'm so lonesome I could cry I've never seen a night so long when time keeps crawling by the moon is gone behind the clouds to hide his face and cry have you ever seen a robin weep when leaves have turned to brown like me he's lost his will to live I'm so lonesome I could cry the silence of a falling star lights up a purple haze and as I wonder where you are I'm so lonesome I could cry @SONG: To Love Is To Bury I buried him down by the river 'cause that's where he liked to be and every night when the moon is high I go there and weep openly he and I were married by this river 'neath this willow tree and with God and friends witnessing it he pledged his life to me to me he was Earth and I rooted in his soil I to he was Sky vast and free of the burdens from which he toiled then one night a terrible fight words spoken better left unsaid with his wedding vows ringing in my ears he gave his life to me they say to love is to bury those demons from which we all hide but tonight by this river 'neath this willow tree becoming one of Earth and Sky @SONG: 200 More Miles Atlanta's a distant memory Montgomery a recent birth and Tulsa burns on the desert floor like a signal fire I got Willie on the radio a dozen things on my mind and number one is fleshing out these dreams of mine I've got 200 more miles of rain asphalt in line before I sleep but there'll be no warm sheets or welcoming arms to fall into tonight in Nashville there is a lighter in a case for all to see it speaks of dreams and heartaches left unsung and in the corner stands a guitar and lonesome words scrawled in a drunken hand I don't travel past, travel hard before and I'm beginning to understand that I've got 200 more miles of rain asphalt in line before I sleep but there'll be no warm sheets or welcoming arms to fall into tonight they say that I am crazy my life wasting on this road that time will find my dreams scared or dead and cold but I heard there is a light drawing me to reach an end and when I reach there, I'll turn back and you and I can begin again I've got 200 more miles of rain asphalt in line before I sleep but there'll be no warm sheets or welcoming arms to fall into tonight I've got 200 more miles of rain asphalt in line before I sleep but I wouldn't trade all your golden tomorrows for one hour of this night Atlanta's a distant memory Montgomery a recent birth and Tulsa burns on the desert floor like a signal fire @SONG: Dreaming My Dreams With You I hope that I find what I'm reaching for the way that it is in my mind I hope that I won't be that wrong anymore and maybe to have learned this time someday I'll get over you I'll live to see it all through but I'll always miss dreaming my dreams with you but I won't let it change me, not if I can I'd rather believe in love and give it away as much as I can to those that I am fondest of someday I'll get over you I'll live to see it all through but I'll always miss dreaming my dreams with you someday I'll get over you I'll miss dreaming with you someday I'll get over you I'll miss dreaming with you someday @SONG: Working On A Building working on a building, a Holy Ghost building for my Lord, for my Lord if I was a drunkard I tell you what I'd do I would quit my drinking and work on that building too working on a building, a Holy Ghost building for my Lord, yeah for my Lord if I was a liar I tell you what I'd do I would quit my lying and work on that building too working on a building, it's a Holy Ghost building for my Lord, yeah for my Lord working on a building, it's a Holy Ghost building for my Lord, yeah for my Lord if I was a singer I tell you what I'd do I would keep on singing and work on that building too @SONG: Sweet Jane anyone who's ever had a heart wouldn't turn around and break it and anyone who's ever played a part wouldn't turn around and hate it sweet Jane, sweet Jane sweet, sweet Jane you're waiting for Jimmy down in the alley waiting there for him to come back home waiting down on the corner and thinking of ways to get back home sweet Jane, sweet Jane sweet, sweet Jane anyone who's ever had a dream anyone who's ever played a part anyone who's ever been lonely and anyone who's ever split apart sweet Jane, sweet Jane sweet, sweet Jane heavenly widened roses seem to whisper to me when you smile heavenly widened roses seem to whisper to me when you smile sweet Jane sweet, sweet Jane @SONG: Postcard Blues especially with my head pounding and lying helpless in my bed I long for you and your expert hands to ease this white heat from my head and you would boast that you knew all the pressure points inside and you could just as easily kill me beneath the desire that I hide but as your patient I knew that your healing powers had grown from a sore that's far far deeper than this heart where the pain was born with my head again clear I think of words to send to you to coax you back to my side but always leave out, I love you and then through my front door a picture of a faraway land and to love along the back and once again I reach for my pen @SONG: Walking After Midnight I was walking after midnight yeah, out in the moonlight the way we used to do I'm always walking after midnight searching for you I'm always walking after midnight searching for you I stop to see a weeping willow crying on his pillow maybe he's a-crying for me and as the skys turn gloomy the night winds whisper to me I'm lonesome as I can be I'm always walking after midnight searching for you I walk for miles along the highway well that's just my way of saying, I love you I'm always walking after midnight searching for you I walk for miles along the highway searching for you I'm always walking after midnight yeah, out in the moonlight hoping you may be somewhere a-walking after midnight searching for me I'm always walking after midnight searching for you
