1. _ Border Lord
Darkness had us covered when we split from minnesota in the morning
In the rain
Black as i was feeling and the street was slick and shiny as a snake
Each of us was a-humming to a half forgotten echo
Hangin' over in the brain
Tappin' time and thinking of the time we never had the time to take
Losing to the rising cost of living high and loving hard
And leavin' every yesterday behind
Learning every bridge you cross, is burning down before you're off and
Running
Like the devil just in time
Chorus:
Breakin' any ties before they bind you
Taking any comfort you can find
Running like you're running out of time
Take it all-take it easy-till it's over-understanding
When you're headin' for the border lord
You're bound to cross the line
Good lookin' women every time you stumble
Waitin' there to catch you when you fall
Gettin' to you bad enough to let em
Keep you backin' up till just before your back's against the wall
Chorus:
Breakin' any ties before they bind you
Takin' any comfort you can find
Runnin' like you're runnin' out of time
Take it all-take it easy-till it's over-understanding
When you're headin' for the border lord
You're bound to cross the line

2. _ When She's Wrong
Go on and take her, it ain't no surprise boy
I knew that someday it had to come
Just let me offer a word to the wise, boy
Oh, take a good look at what you've won
Then turn around, boy, and try to forget her
She's gonna hurt you, before she's gone
'cause, when she's good, lord, there ain't nothing better
But, when she's wrong, she sure can be wrong
She'll bring you sunshine so good that it's frightening
Oh, but soon as the sun shines, start lookin' for rain
You'll hear the thunder, before you see the lightening
As soon as it's over, start lookin' for pain
And you won't be sorry that you ever met her
But you'll be thankful she don't last long
'cause when she's good, lord, there ain't nothing better
But when she's wrong, she sure can be wrong

3. _ Burden Of Freedom
I stand on the stairway
My back to the dungeon
The doorway to freedom
So close to my hand
And voices behind me
So bitterly damn me
For seeking salvation
They don't understand
Chorus:
Lord, help me to shoulder
The burden of freedom
And give me the courage
To be what i can
And when i am wounded
By those who condemn me
Lord, help me forgive them
They don't understand
Their lonely frustration
Descending to laughter
Erases the footprints
I leave in the sand
But i'm free to travel
Where no one can follow
In search of the kingdom
They don't understand
Chorus:
Lord, help me to shoulder
The burden of freedom
And give me the courage
To be what i can
And when i have wounded
The last one who loved me
Lord, help her forgive me
I don't understand.

4. _ Josie
I've been chasing after josie since the day i could run
Even though i didn't know it at the time
And i followed her from texas 'til she found me undone
Just a jump ahead of what i left behind.
She was proud of her young body as a body could be
On her way to be a woman of the world
And i still can see her smiling as she gave it to me
Lookin' like a lonesome little girl.
Chorus:
Josie, is it true that you've grown harder than your years
Sellin' them your sadness on the street
How much did you lose between the laughter and the tears
Gettin' back the bitter for the sweet
Well, she loved me back to livin' at a time i was lost
With the closest thing to love i've ever known
And she led me through some bridges i was burnin' to cross
Then she went and burned some bridges of her own.
Now the road's a little colder every time that i leave
For another empty place i've never been
And i don't suppose it's likely that she's lookin' for me
But someday i may just chase her down again.
Chorus:
Josie, is it true that you've grown harder than your years
Sellin' them your sadness on the street
How much did you lose between the laughter and the tears
Gettin' back the bitter for the sweet

5. _ Kiss The World Goodbye
I never had no regrets, boys;
Not for nothing i've done.
I owed the devil some debts, boys,
Paid them all up but one.
And i don't even regret the living
That i'll be leaving behind.
I've gotten weary of searching
For something i couldn't find.
I'm going down to the shade
By the river one more time,
And feel the breeze on my face before i die.
I'm gonna leave whatever's left of my luck to the losers,
Then bend me down and kiss the world goodbye.
Come to lucky-in-lovin'
I never had no complaints.
They never said i was evil,
But then, i wasn't no saint.
I'm just a river that rolled forever
And never got to the sea.
I ain't blaming nobody;
I had it coming to me.
I'm going down to the shade
By the river one more time,
And feel the breeze on my face before i die.
I'm gonna leave whatever's left
Of my luck to the losers,
Then bend me down, and kiss the world goodbye.

6. _ Little Girl Lost
See the little girl lost: walking through this world alone
She ain't looking for a lover, she's just looking for a home
If you want more than sympathy then look for something else
Cause she's not true to anyone, not even to herself
She'll have sixteen smiling strangers who are handing her a line
While she's drawing dirty pictures on the black side of your mind
And that body she'll let anybody hold, but the devil's got her soul
But if you take her, take her easy
Treat her gentle, she used to love me
See the little girl lost, pleading silently for help
Knowing no one understands her, she don't understand herself
She'll feed your hungry ego til you think you're quite a man
But you better count your fingers when she turns loose of your hand
Cause you're just a game she's playing any way that she can win
And you ain't about to touch her any deeper than her skin
In that body anybody can control, but the devil's got her soul
But if you take her, take her easy
Treat her gentle, she used to love me

7. _ Somebody Nobody Knows
Alone in a barroom a young girl is sitting
And smiling at nothing at all
And she stares now and then at the eyes of the men
In the mirror that hangs on the wall
She's waiting for someone and knowing there's no one
Who cares if she comes or she goes
Just a soul in the shadows the world never sees
She's somebody nobody knows
Chorus:
Someone no one's ever known
Crying where no one can hear
Somebody's dying alone
In a city where nobody cares
Down in the gutter an old man has fallen
Like somebody the world threw away
And the late crowd was leaving, and nobody even
Took the time to look down where he lay
The old man was crying and helplessly trying
To wipe off the stain from his clothes
Just a soul in the shadows that life left behind
He's somebody nobody knows
Chorus:
Someone no one's ever known
Crying where no one can hear
Somebody's dying alone
In a city where nobody cares

8. _ Stagger Mountain Tragedy
I was born on stagger mountain in the sunshine and the snow
And leavin' was the first mistake i made;
But i hungered for the shadows in the valley down below
And the girl that danced the tune the devil played.
Her smile was like the blindin' light of sunshine on the snow
And the flashin' of her hair was black as sin.
And her body set the smokes of hell a-boilin' in my skull
When the fiddle of the devil made her spin.
Morning sunshine [sunshine] high on the mountain,
Where the air is pure and cold;
But there's darkness in the shadows
In the canyons of my soul.
The lantern cast a shadow like a demon on the wall
And the naked sweat was breathin' on her skin;
Then the room was spinning closer as her clothes began to fall
And the eagle started screamin' in my brain;
Then i saw the laughin' dagger and i heard the devil scream
And her bleeding heart was beating in my hand.
Then the darkness blew away and i was standin' by a tree
With a hanging rope a-danglin' from a limb.
Morning sunshine [sunshine] high on the mountain,
Where the air is pure and cold;
But there's darkness in the shadows
In the canyons of my soul.

9. _ Smokey Put The Sweat On Me
I've known some women in every state
New york city to the golden gate
I've lived with some, and buddy, i loved 'em all. (yes, i did)
But no one woman had a claim on me
'cause i still had a lotta world to see
And i sometimes stagger, but sugar, i seldom fall.
Then like a hungry man, i went to louisiana
Where the lovin' and the livin' was good
Without a care to hide and just as satisfied as i could be.
A lotta women and wine and not a tie to bind me
And behaving just as cool as i could
'til that long legged, sweet walkin' ravenhaired cajun lookin'
Devil put the sweat on me
They call her smokey, she's a little bit-a evil
Smokey, right as wrong can be.
Smokey, she could shake the very devil
Smokey put the sweat on me.
Oh, my pulse is a beatin' to the clickety clack
Of this one-way ride that's gonna take me back
And my body's just a-breathin' in that mississippi river smell
Well, my feet wasn't ready yet for settling down
But my soul kept tellin' me to turn around
And the longer i tried to fight it, the harder i fell
And like a hungry man, i went to louisiana
Where the lovin' and the livin' is good
I'll get a brand new bride and be as satisfied as i can be
And i won't even mind the world i'm leavin' behind
Because i never really thought that i could
'til that long legged, sweet walkin' ravenhaired cajun looking devil
Put the sweat on me.
They call her smokey, she's a little bit-a evil
Smokey, right as wrong can be
Smokey, she could shake the very devil
Smokey put the sweat on me
Smokey put the sweat on me
Awww, smokey put the sweat on me.
