The kids know you cheated, the car’s overheated. They said they just couldn’t fix it this time, because You stopped making payments, never opening the statement. You paid hers, but you didn’t pay mine. Oh you told me you’d love me through good and bad weather, Together we’d shoot our best shot at forever, Sometimes I miss you, But my aim is getting better. We make up, we break up, it’s all so absurd. You said you hate every bone in my body but yours. The nights are so lonely, feverish and queer, I’m so miserable. It’s just like having you here. Years have passed by, and you’ve never changed. You lie and you say you regret. Baby, if you can’t live without me, Why aren’t you dead yet? The life that you left me is like pulling a plow, And I really regret it, when I think about how, If I’d have shot you when I wanted to, I’d be out by now. The kids think you’re coming, for birthdays and X-mas, But when I see their sad face, Lord as my witness, I recall your life insurance fine print, right down to the letter. Oh you told me you’d love me through good and bad weather, We’d face all the troubles of this life together. Sometimes I miss you, But my aim is getting better.

Fire can clean you, fire is change. Forge your sword or forge your chains Fire can warm you but fire must burn. Fire rewards you when you can learn, So you better run to the fire, baby burn baby burn. I’m a child of the sun and lightning. They say that the fire is frightening. Forged in the fire, I’m right in. What’s a little fire to me? Run to your comfort, run from your pain. Run to the river, she’ll wash you away. Drown in the river you’ve got no light, But I’ll be burning all day and night, ‘Cuz I’m all fire and I’m all fight. I’m a child of the sun and lightning. They say that the fire is frightening. Forged in the fire, I’m right in. What’s a little fire to me?

Gotta Stop Loving You (But I Can’t) In love I’m so abiding and constant and true, And I’m no good at hiding my feelings from you. But you love shiny things, Lost my luster I guess. And you ain’t got the patience, For all love restlessness, So I’ve gotta stop loving you, and I wanna stop loving you… But I can’t! Oh no I can’t! Cuz everytime I reach out for you, you just slip out from my hands. And I can’t, oh no I can’t! How I wish that I could understand that you can’t understand. Your fortress is so high, but I’ve got my own castle to live inside. Still, you won’t walk the distance from your walls to mine. You love the attention, From a songbird so cute, But couldn’t bear the spotlight, From a mind so acute, So I’ve gotta stop loving you, and I wanna stop loving you… But I can’t! Oh no I can’t! Cuz everytime I reach out for you, you just slip out from my hands. And I can’t, oh no I can’t! How I wish that I could understand that you can’t understand. You hurt me, but it doesn’t hurt, I’ve gotta stop loving you. But I can’t! Oh no I can’t! Cuz everytime I reach out for you, you just slip out from my hands. And I can’t, oh no I can’t! How I wish that I could understand that you can’t understand. And I can’t! Oh no I can’t! How I wish that I could understand that you can’t be me man!

Well a cock can crow but you can’t get no eggs from him. Then he’ll up and go and let his feathers show for some other hen. You can cross the road to the other side, and meet a fox and end up fried, Many a hen has lived and died that way. Oh, some days I wanna be a rooster, or a farmer, in the world of men. Instead of getting pecked by all these hatchlings, Growing bored and fat inside this tiny pen Oh they were born to win, and they were made for sin, That’s why this hen is starting to hate men. Roosters: Come on chicken, looking finger-licking, don’t act old and tough Gotta love a rooster, getcha one who’ll choose to, assure that you’re properly stuffed...ha ha ha ha So I figured I’d.. Stay in my coop with all the poop and know my place Raise some chicks, provide these hicks with eggs by the case. You can get upset, cluck and peck, but the farmer will come in and wring your neck. Better to sit n’ count the eggs you have left….stop brooding. Oh, some days I wanna be a rooster, or a farmer, in the world of men. Instead of getting pecked by all these hatchlings, Growing bored and fat inside this tiny pen Oh, they were born to win, and they were made for sin, That’s why this hen is starting to hate men. Roosters: Come on chicken, looking finger-licking, don’t act old and tough Gotta love a rooster, getcha one who’ll chose to, assure that you’re properly stuffed I heard the farmer say chickens are stupid and they rarely dream Of life beyond the bird wire and the window screen And I think of throwing in the towel, when I meet a fella who’s truly fowl, Think of shacking up with an owl….who who who could stop me? We’d build a nest in the wilderness secluded, farmers, chicks, and roosters not included I’d be up all day, he’d be up all night so surely we would never fight, Unless he turned his head around and gave me a fright, eyes staring at me like two headlights, I want corn and gives me mice, Oh forget it! Oh, they were born to win, and they were made for sin. That’s why this hen, is starting to hate men Roosters: Come on chicken, looking finger-licking, don’t act old and tough Gotta love a rooster, getcha one who’ll choose to, assure that you’re properly stuffed I think that every hen might need a rooster sometimes, But for me that rarely happens in the sunshine. In the dark of night on my common farm, I wish I had a rooster to keep me warm, If my nature stirs and he puts his spurs away. Oh well sometimes I wanna see the rooster, and the farmer, with his grain Every time I find myself some freedom, they find a way to lure me in again. Oh, they were born to win, and lead me to my end, That’s why this hen, that’s why this hen, that’s why this hen…..oh forget it.

Her: I wanna walk away but I can’t move. I’m afraid I’ll never love anyone, as much as I love you. Him: Still you say you don’t know how I feel. I’m not sure if I’ve ever felt anything, so tender and so real…. Them: But you won’t let me love you right and you won’t love me right! Him: Well there’s lovers as far as the eye can see. But they feel like they belong someplace, and you belong to me Her: The sins of yesterday have made you feel a fool I wish that you could witness all the goodness and the love I see in you. Them: But you won’t let me love you right and you won’t love me right; Chorus: Baby when you’re lonely in the stillness of the night, Let someone come and love you right. Meet me in the quiet of the early morning light. Let someone come and love you right. Baby let me love you right, let me love you right. Her: Eyes as cool and still as a lake, I’d forgive you anything, give you anything you wanted enough to take Him: When I’m silent, still you see the truth. As love pours from my fingers and I’m staring at ya, blushing like a youth Them: Come on let me love you right, let me love you right Chorus: Baby when you’re lonely in the stillness of the night, Let someone come and love you right. Meet me in the quiet of the early morning light. Let someone come and love you right. Baby let me love you right, let me love you right. GUITAR SOLO Her: Seems like we keep falling in and out of love. You’re a hibernating angry bear whose touch is as gentle as a dove Him: Woman I’m scared of you, you make me feel insane. How can such a pretty package hold all that anger, and pleasure and pain. Them: But you won’t let me love you right and you won’t love me right! Chorus: Baby when you’re lonely in the stillness of the night, Let someone come and love you right. Meet me in the quiet of the early morning light. Let someone come and love you right. Why won’t you give into love when you’ve the appetite. Let someone come and love you right. Loving means forgiveness and we’re both too old to fight. Let somebody love you…..tonight. Let someone come and love you.

Chorus: Just a trickle, Just a nickel, or maybe a dime, It isn’t over, when you’ve lost your mind. Just a penny, have you any, can you spend some time, To hear the story of her glory, before life was unkind? She’s out here on the streets marking time, Time she’s lost and time she’s owed. So many troubles she can’t leave behind, She keeps her anger and the score in the cart she rolls. Chorus: Just a trickle….. You’ve got to keep on moving on the street, You’ve gotta keep on trying to move your feet, But all the places feet can take you, Women will beat you and guys who’ll rape you. Every place that feet can stop, she’s told to move on by a cop. Chorus: Give her just a trickle… Solo spot She’s somebody’s baby, she’s somebody's child. Once she was somebody’s lady, somebody’s mama, Now exiled. Chorus: Just a trickle

Some chains can’t be broken Some scars never fade Some mountains will kill you if you climb them Better to walk peaceful to your grave Some games aren’t worth playing Sometimes it feels useless to pray Some lives aren’t worth living And people live them anyway. Some words should never be spoken Some debts are never paid We owe them, and we are owed them And we keep track till our last day. Some hate is rewarding We feel good in our thunderous rage (But I say) Better to walk in the sunshine Better to breathe the air Better to delight in the simple things Feel the breeze in your hair Some love goes unrequited, As if the world had an abundance of love Some parents are never delighted, and they couldn’t love us enough. Some day you feel it’s all darkness, You want to give up and go, But just know that hope for tomorrow, makes us all fools, all fools who don’t know. I wanna be your fool. Sometimes we reward the undeserving Sometimes we’re afraid of our very best Sometimes we hide our ignorance Sometimes we take more when we know there’s nothing left Sometimes you stumble and you never walk the same way again Sometimes you crumble and you don’t have the pieces to mend And we try to fix and we don’t have the tools, Come on baby try and fix it anyway and let me be your fool.

It’s time to go pack up all my cares and woes, And when I lay them down I’ll never come back around. I’ll leave them right there on the ground, Never pick them up again. Oh, to be free, Oh, just be. It’s time to go pack up all my cares and woes, And when I lay them down I’ll never come back around. I’ll leave them right there on the ground, Never pick them up again. When I let them all go, when I lay them at Your feet, let it come to an end. It’s time to go pack up all my cares and woes, Pack up all my cares and woes.
