1. _ I Want It All
|
2. _ Let It Slide
Dreary Memphis city night,
Dark like a Kennedy's veil,
Shaky like them motorcycle lights,
Leading all them angels at hell,
I gave out my very last dime,
Laid out the bartenders all in a line,
We weren't fighting, we just drank 'em out of time,
Down at Printer's Alley,
[Chorus]
So let the poets be poets and the cops just give us a ride,
We ain't worried about your hands of time,
Just let it slide,
And let it slide,
You know Elvis said only two things were certain Hookers and Coupe Devilles,
Messing with that old boy down at the pool hall surely get your young ass killed,
I'm too tired for fighting,
I'd rather wear myself out with a smile,
We'll stay up with some good bar stores,
Beat up time for a while,
[Chorus]
So let the poets be poets and the cops just give us a ride,
We ain't worried about your hands of time,
Just let it slide,
And let it slide,
Oh you know it's nights like these,
I get down on my knees,
And pray the Lord the sun won't shine,
'Till I'm done having my big time,
[Chorus]
So let the poets be poets and the cops just give us a ride,
We ain't worried about your hands of time,
Just let it slide,
And let it slide.

3. _ Beautiful Day
Well I'm falling over backwards and I'm drowning in my sleep,
I can't feel the ground, there's only sky beneath my feet,
In a television moment I come crashing to the ground,
Gasoline explosion but you never heard a sound,
Maybe I'm calm, maybe I'm jaded,
Or maybe the whole thing has just faded,
And maybe I should see another way,
Like it's the end of a beautiful day,
She bloodied up her wingtips as she's cleaning up the bar,
The beauty of an angel but it didn't take her far,
She be crying in the corner if she wasn't far too proud,
Hear the ringing of this failure and it's getting awfully loud,
Maybe she's calm, maybe she's jaded,
Or maybe the whole thing has just faded,
And maybe she should see another way,
Like it's the end of her beautiful day,
There's some explaining to do 'cause the fairy tale lied,
I think it's sad but cruel but it's here to stay,
It's just real life anyway,
Maybe we're gone, maybe we've faded,
Maybe the whole thing was just jaded,
Maybe we should see another way,
Like it's the end of a beautiful day.

4. _ Go Be Young
Perfumed and smoky,
She swears that she knows me,
She's falling down drunk again,
I say she's mistaken.
She's visibly shaken,
Emotions all drowned in gin,
She said I used to be beautiful,
But now it's all gone,
I let my dreams slip away from me,
That's where it went wrong.
[Chorus]
Go be young,
Go be free,
Follow your heart where it leads you.
Don't end up like me.
The indian in the guardhouse used to spin me yarns.
Stories of canyons and Boston in winter.
And losing his family's farms,
He said I've outlived my three sons,
They died in three wars,
I laughed and I cried while they lived and they died,
And I know that they deserve more.
[Chorus]
Go be young,
Go be free,
Follow your heart where it leads you.
Don't end up like me.
Perfumed and smoky,
She swears that she knows me,
I'm falling down drunk again.
I say she's mistaken.
She's visibly shaken,
Emotions all drowned in gin,
I say I used to be powerful,
But now it's all gone,
I let my dreams take control of me.
That's where it went wrong.
[Chorus]
Go be young,
Go be free,
Follow your heart where it leads you.
Don't end up like me.
