Rocking on the Rio Grande 04:45
lyrics
buy track
Black beans, red beans, chile red, and chile green Some like it hot and some like it mild I like the chile that drives me wild I was born I was born on the rio grande Bison, bears and porcupines, wolves and skunks and bobcats Rattlers, elk and jaguars Mountain lions and cutthroat trout They're born Born on the rio grande Flathead, knucklehead, panhead, shovelhead, big block, small block, chopped and dropped Twin cam, dual quad, riding high, riding low, I got a blower to make me go My rat rod's got whitewalls I was born on the rio grande Baby baby baby can you do the bop, the boogie woogie, twist, or the bunny hop Jitterbug, handjive, hully gully, stroll It's no jive, it's rock & roll I'm rocking Rocking on the rio grande

I’m dancing alone 06:30
lyrics
buy track
Everybody’s dancing, I’m dancing alone I can’t be sure, there nothing left to do I’m done They told me to wish upon a star But you know how it goes They told me to follow my dreams, but I can’t sleep I can’t sleep anymore I can’t dream, I can’t dream anymore It’s not me, it’s not you It’s everything we do We wind each other up forever Thinking that we’re so clever I’m the rubber, you’re the glue Bounce off me and stick to you Come back I miss the way you smiled at me

Come on over 04:28
lyrics
buy track
I need you like fire needs rain You calm me down and ease my pain I know I'm losing ground come on over, why don't you come around Every night I lock my doors I'm alone inside my house I don't like these squeaky floors and dirty walls come on over, why don't you come around I love the women on the silver screen I write them, they never write me I'm alone in all of my dreams come on over, why don't you come around I'm staring at the wall, waiting for your call I'm travelling light down paradise road my money's gone, I'm feeling small come on over, why don't you come around

Enchanté 03:29
lyrics
buy track
Take another chance Gonna be precise Find me a woman All sugar and spice Gonna play my cards Gonna be real nice But I’ll run away If she’s cold as ice Enchanté, how do you do? I believe in me and you I’m hoping for a heaven here on earth I think I’ll stay a little while I’ll build our house of rocks and stone and talk to the trees when I feel alone I’ll swing for the fences Gonna reach for the sky With my head in the clouds until I die

Are we there yet? No! 04:16

ha ah ah ah, ha ah ah ah You’ve got to take me home tonight I can’t walk anymore, I just crawl on the floor You’ve got to end it all tonight If you don’t need me You don’t need me How much further do we have to go? Are we there yet, no. Are we there yet? No! aaah haaaa I can’t take it any more And I’ve Been wondering door to door If I met you today, what would your answer be? Now that you know what you know, What would your answer be?

No time to die 02:40
lyrics
buy track
Boom sh’boom, no time to die Walk the streets with your hair on fire Show the people that you’re still alive But people see what they want to see Here’s a thing, they don’t see me Boom sh’boom, no time to die I’m standing here in my sunday clothes All the girls just walk on by No room for me, no room for you When my ship comes in, i’m gone for good I’m still alive and well, on the sunny side of life On the right side of the dirt, where my laughing doesn’t hurt me at all C’mon c’mon, no time to cry We die of hunger and we die of cold We’re invisible when we get old I paid my money, i paid my dues I’ve got nothing left to lose C’mon c’mon, no time to cry I’m just a kid inside you know I wanna play some rock ‘n roll I wanna jump and scream and shout That’s what i’m told it’s all about

Dream is over 04:38
lyrics
buy track
These golden days of iron and steel Metal horses flying across the sky These golden days make you wonder why There’s no wonder in your eyes The dream is over the dream is over now There was a time when one world was enough When small was beautiful for all of us Then our dreams all turned to dust We didn't care for all the things we saw We wanted more, and more, and more Gather round children and listen to me Never believe that man on tv Who wraps the flag around all his of lies He smiles with his teeth but he’s dead in his eyes He doesn’t care who lives and who dies

This place 02:47
lyrics
buy track
I don’t like this place It’s dark outside This room is strange Nowhere to hide I feel so cold And so alone I don’t want to be in this room alone I don’t like the food It’s all the same It fills a space But it gives me pain I feel so cold… Daddy Don’t leave me here Mummy mummy I want you near I feel so cold… I don’t like this place It’s dark outside This room is strange Nowhere to hide I feel so cold… Daddy Don’t leave me here Mummy mummy I want you near
