Don't know if I should cause the preacher told me no Yeah, the preacher told me it ain't right Sargent Pepper on the corner and the devil at the door But I couldn't resist the moonlight Calling hey hey Mama moon, she'll fix you right Calling hey hey Flat foot jiving under street lights Well it's a tip-toe slip show Phelipe Petit tightrope Handcuffed for getting to high Put your hand in the hand of a man who understands And pray he leads you to the light And pray-ay-ay Daddy don't get to tight Pray-ay-ay Don't nobody think to ask why Good lord, oh me oh my Believe thou do me right, shall I Believe thou do me right and I said Come on say Amen Couple hours till a blue sky morning Come on say Amen Hush-a-bye baby, the cradle done rocking Come on say Amen To everything an end, come time this night does end So come on, come on say Amen .22 in the hand of a patriotic man And a hippy flower set you free Skirts dancing on the bandstand feet up hand stands Nobody buckle their knees And say-ay-ay Mama moon shining down on me Say-ay-ay Who you living to please Good lord, oh me oh my Believe thou do me right, shall I Believe thou do me right and I said Come on say Amen Couple hours till a blue sky morning Come on say Amen Hush-a-bye baby, the cradle done rocking Come on say Amen To everything an end, come time this night does end So come on, come on say Amen

Ay yoo Willie Nelson in leather black boots Dug Georgia, but she done refused him Stomp stomp clap and she don't come back Heard she drove to Washington Ay me Mama, I left yesterday cause it came my turn to leave Fiddle and banjo Riding shotgun in the passenger seat Stomp stomp clap, if I don't come back No I got gone Singing this hymn, called Amazing Grace Hear the music fading If I ain't good, then I better get saved Before God forgets my name Ay yoo Sunny don't count the reasons as law, gospel, nor truth If you go leave with a peaceful step in your shoes Stomp stomp clap and don't look back and know you ain't the only one Singing this hymn, called Amazing Grace Hear the music fading If you ain't good, then you better get saved Before God forgets your name

Jester Jack 03:09
Jester Jack couldn't trick his magic back The ambulance picked him, but he's $49 down And Angie his angel, star-striped and spangled White girl from Ohio couldn't keep Jack on the ground And man tomorrow just ain't her friend It's an American song, but the melody's wrong And the astronauts are leaving again But Angie's still right here Oh Jack where you been? And JT 1990's baby Born in Burmingham, first trombone in the marching band Lost Jesus last Sunday, skipped school on Monday Told the government he was too hip to can And man tomorrow just ain't his friend It's an American song, but the melody's wrong And the astronauts are leaving again But JT's still right here Oh Lord where you been? So you found God in Bob Dylan Tried to Teach Your Children Look at you all grown up Mama, Papa, I'm feeling a little down And it ain't just your brother, but your mother's ex-lover Only time will discover That the world is feeling a little down And man tomorrow just ain't our friend It's an American song, but the melody's wrong And the astronauts are leaving again But we all still right here Right where we've been

Woke in Pennsylvania with an Alabama notion Drove all night in the white moonlight Cause time won't wait for me When I think about love, I don't think about a reason When I think about love, I don't think things she's done to me When I think about love, I don't think about a reason Hey I'm driving all night, hey that white moonlight, won't you shine down on me So Lucinda go on home, back to Mississippi The Dixie Chick's got Wide Open Spaces, but that don't mean they're free Can I get your love Hey blue sky Lucinda, your love is all I need Amplifier in the back seat of a 1990 Ford Those windows down and the CD sounds of those who don't cry no more When I think about her, I don't think about a reason When I think about her, I don't think about words that I don't mean When I think about her, I don't think about a reason Hey I'm driving all night, hey that white moonlight, won't you shine down on me So Lucinda go on home, back to Mississippi The Dixie Chick's got Wide Open Spaces, but that don't mean they're free Can I get your love Hey blue sky Lucinda, your love is all I need

Roll down the window turn the red bus key Nashville, New York, or the North Country Ain't we all a little broken-hearted All we need is a start to stop this And oh my friend we'll be a rolling out tonight Midnight rider traveling 'long side Four wheels and you and I Four wheels chasing yellow lines And it seems time is now calling on me Mama, it's come my turn to leave Nowhere is somewhere nobody knows Ain't the place we're trying to go Hey Bob, is that where the wind blows Is that the home where I belong Some got freedom but we all bear chains You and I change to stay the same Ain't we all got love inside Or just a little bit of hate to hide And it seems time is now calling on me Mama, it's come my turn to leave Million miles from the city and a couple hundred hopes from home You and I ain't we both right here alone Hey Mom, when tomorrow's gone Don't think about me long Just know that love was fair to me And Mama, I was always me This ain't a want or a need This is just my turn to leave Roll down the window turn the red bus key Nashville, New York, or the North Country Ain't we all a little broken-hearted All we need is a start to stop this

Railroad tracks Cut like a scar across this mountain They're taking me back Snow on the mountain It's coloring these coal cars white I remember them Fire on the mountain Setting my memories ablaze I've seen those days Taking this journey alone Knew you'd have to make it on your own These tracks are taking you home They're taking me back Can you hear that whistle? Echoing its refrain It's calling my name Taking this journey alone Knew you'd have to make it on your own These tracks are taking you home They're taking me back Railroad tracks Cut like a scar across this mountain They're taking me back Cut like a scar across this mountain They're taking me home
