When the day breaks on Cedar Creek Lake Or my life rolls into Rome When the sun goes down on Austin town That's when I'll know I'm home What a time we'll have on Greenville Ave With the big shots in Big D I'm livin' in a state of Texas And Texas lives...

Heaven i need drug Her eyes are all but fixed upon her coffee cup And looking down she tells you things are looking up Take another slug Heaven I had a dream But now my lifes a nightmare of efficiency She rattles off the things she never got for free G...

I watch, as it stops for a girl A moment, elaborate and weak I am easy in her midst Why elaborate, when there's no need to? But I do, all night My words ring like money off a bar But she's here, asleep now One can only go alone so far One can only go...

The Empty Bottle was half empty, tide was low, and I was thirsty Saw her sitting at the bar, you know how some girls are Always making eyes, well she wasn't making eyes So I sidled up beside her, settled down and shouted, "Hi there." "My name's Stewart Ran...

I've been lightin' matches in the boiler room Wearing sulphur perfume (Don't I smell nice?) You come sniffin' around just like you own the joint You know it's rude to point (Don't make me tell you twice.) Well I like the way you walk That's why I left...

Big brown eyes and a gust of wind And the cherry burns the corner of the page that says "The end is coming soon", but not soon enough Restring all your guitars, pack up all your stuff 'Cause if Robert's dad is right We might not make it through the night...

I left you last night on the left coast I'm writin' you a letter right now The things that you do are rendering you Something I can't live without Maybe maybe I've got a pulse now Maybe my heart's on fire A bird in the hand is worth a bird in a cage Is...

These storms they gather forces unbeknownst to fools like me They hide on the horizon too far gone to see I could have swore the heart you wore upon your sleeve was mine I could not see in front of me you were leaving I was blind Blinding sheets of rain t...

She drove a blue car around Bloomington She was a thin girl but she had substance She said that most girls who come to Bloomington Only come here to find husbands The existence of God was confirmed By the way she unfolded herself alongside And I tried t...

Rowboat lightning I kissed her yeah it didn't mean a thing Seems like years ago it was yesterday Fire drill yell freeze don't hang around long face disease I got a book of poems that's gonna set you free Well it's bad luck and it's a hard luck story And I...

In a hotel room just off Times Square it's like a closet I can watch the dancing class go round In a hotel room that costs as much as my apartment I can watch the working class go down And it's enough to make a crooked man go straight - Broadway, Broadwa...

And I tried And I know what we are Yeah, I saw it in a strange dream We're a mess I'm afraid That this is the real thing And I tried Tried to leave it all alone Send your brown haired daughter home But I can't So I won't And you ought to hear my hea...

Do you wanna mess around? Do you wanna spend the night? I've known both kinds of love But I want to get it right this time I don't wanna settle down I don't want to make no plans Exept for what I'm gonna do With a pair of idle hands They're tearing t...

There was a fine rain There was a red wine There was a long whistle It was a good sign There was a band playin' Somewhere off-screen There was a girl sayin' 'Come clean.' CHORUS In a dream On a bus On a busted afternoon In a haze On a bus On a...
