All By Ourselves

Baby please don't go
I whispered to myself
Baby please don't go
But she left with someone else
Please don't go
I couldn't stand to lose you
I don't wanna be all by myself
We've come to depend on one another
Though I can admit
That's not the very best way to live
And if we can depend on one another
Then who are we all by ourselves
Baby please don't go
I whispered to myself
Baby please don't go
But she left with someone else
Please don't go
I couldn't stand to lose you
I don't wanna be all by myself
We've been born into thinking it's alright
Living unfulfilled lives and following in footsteps
I'd like to see
How it would feel
To speak my own mind
But that never was part of the deal
Baby please don't go
I whispered to myself
Baby please don't go
But she left with someone else
Please don't go
I couldn't stand to lose you
I don't wanna be all by myself
I don't wanna be all by myself
I don't wanna be all by myself

Unspoken Fellow
03:05
|
|||
|
You have taken
A trip down a road
I cannot follow
So I save my thoughts
For a moment
To speak to an unspoken fellow
I can't follow you this time
So I drown in my silence
In my silence
Light found its way
through the splintering cracks
Of a lifetime
And it's been
such a bright
Thorn in my side
That you're twisting
Words that you twisted
Flew over my head
And around me
Did our hearts meet
You might say so
Oh but I'll let you go
I'll let you go

Lovin' Hate
03:07
|
|||
|
If you wanted to cause a scene
Couldn't you have just waited
If you understand what I mean
You'd do better just to save it
Can't keep track of all your lies
What you wear is a thin disguise
You have made me feel this way
I hope you know that I resent it
I'd prefer you didn't give a shit
But I want you too so that's not it
You're the one that had to change things so
Now they're all fucked up
While I need you so
If you wanted to cause a scene
Couldn't you have just waited
Just until we get home I mean
You'd do better just to save it
I can't keep my hands off of you
All your accusations aren't true, but
I just wanna make love to you
All your anger, we can use it
Well, I hate lovin' you
And I hate lovin' you
And I hate lovin' you
So I guess I'm gonna have to show you
If you wanted to cause a scene
Do it here in our bedroom
If you understand what I mean
You look so pretty when you're angry
I'm in for a lover's fight
Give me one to keep me up all night
You can hit me hard as you like
Just be gentle when you bite
Please baby, don't hold back
Just don't be reaching for the baseball bat
I know I want it but this ain't right
Aren't you gonna put down that knife

The Way Out
04:12
|
|||
|
There's been so many ways to lose you
There's been so many ways to use you
And I never thought before today
That I'd ever not choose you
Well today I've changed my mind
And you know the way out
As time has surely opened a door
Now it shuts right on time
The time is now for me to loosen the screw
That has held me so closely to you
While I expect you'll want more time
You still know the way out
There's been so many ways to use you
There's been so many ways to lose you
Well before I always thought I would say
Given more lifetimes, I'd always choose you
Until this day I've changed my mind
Well you know the way out

Breaking My Back
02:21
|
|||
|
I'm breaking my back for you
Every morning til' the day is through
I'm breaking my back for you
What can I do
I wake up in the mornin'
Eat my steak and eggs
The last thing that she told me
You best be getting paid
Between breathing dust and catching sun
You'd think I deserve some thanks
But the last thing I hear before I go to bed
Is you can sleep when you are dead
So now I'm breaking my back for you
Every morning til' the day is through
I'm breaking my back for you
What can I do
She used to be so pretty
But those days are long gone
I may not be much to look at either
But at least she hasn't won
Some days I say forget this life
I'd rather be a traveling man
Unless the lady gets the plague
Life's gonna be a drag
This old boy is goin to work again
And I'll be breaking my back for you
Every morning til' the day is through
I'm breaking my back for you
What can I do
I'm breaking my back for you
Every morning til' the day is through
I'm breaking my back for you
What can I do

Something To Hold On To
04:22
|
|||
|
Oh, something to hold on to right now
Oh, what a blessing it would be
To hold you in my arms again somehow
In my time of need you weren't anywhere
Only fate was there to blame
So please hold on now
Something to hold on to
Doesn't mean I need you
I've been getting by just fine
Something in the making
Love that you've been taking
You take my love for granted every time
There's something to hold on to
But I don't wanna be
The weak one in this situation
There's love left to hold on to
as we said there'd be
You can steal it if you'll give it back
I'd take nothing back
I'd take nothing back
I'd take nothing back

I Got Scars
03:58
|
|||
|
I got scars on my face
Doesn’t mean I’m half as tough
As the ones I put down
Because I got cunning, like a snake
I’ll cut you down before you even
Make a sound
You better watch out
When I ride into town
Death’s a cold embrace
And I give the gift to any fool
That’s crossed me
And I find it a waste
Not to pass it on
To every man that’s sought me
Better watch out
When I ride into town
I used to be a proper boy
But my father knew better
He beat me and he branded me
Till’ my soul was tough as leather
I should find my place
In a red-hot hell
Should anybody best me
I should say it’s a waste
Most wanted man in the West
Is what they call me
You better watch out
When I ride into town

The Gunslinger (Part I)
04:07
|
|||
|
I bide my time everyday
And before I sleep at night
I often pray
For a chance to right the wrong
Which you have done to me
And that I might stay strong
When it's time to do the deed
Here comes the gunslinger
You took someone who was dear to me
And the constable was wrong
To set you free
For it was you who took a life
And you should surely hang
As it were my friend you shot
To you I'll do the same
Here comes the gunslinger
You tucked tail and ran
Which only proves your guilt
And now I'm close behind you
On the trail
Heading West where you thought
You would leave the past behind
But look over your shoulder
And you'll get a loud surprise
Here comes the gunslinger

Anyhow
04:11
|
|||
|
I lit out from town looking for a place to hide
I can't head on West by foot
So I'll have to steal a ride
Like a spur you're stuck to me
And we always make the most
Of each other's company
Til I'm chased off by the ghosts of my past
And I don't feel no good in leaving
While trouble always finds me now
I see there ain't no use deceiving
The only one I cared for anyhow, anyhow
I know what has been wrong with me
Though still I'm fighting it
I can't bring myself to backdown
From the man who'll test his grit
This one thought I'd tuck tail
From a simple stick-up heist
He misjudged this old blackheart
When he only brought a knife
To a gun fight
And I don't feel no good in leaving
While trouble always finds me now
I see there ain't no use deceiving
The only one I cared for anyhow, anyhow
Maybe I will see you down the road somewhere
I hear there's fortunes to be made
There's honest work and a better life
Maybe both our souls can still be saved
Maybe both our souls can still be saved
And I don't feel no good in leaving
While trouble always finds me now
I see there ain't no use deceiving
The only one I cared for anyhow, anyhow

Sundown/Revelation
03:06
|
|||
|
As you writhe there in pain
Look into my eyes again
For I want you to see
This old dog who set you free
As a man you was no good
All black with hate beneath the hood
Still there's hope you can find
Peace with God in the next life
Twas' the last thing you said
When I asked why you shot my best friend
Sorry was all you could say
I'm sorry that he got in my way
I didn't dream this would be the way I'd feel
Standing over you as your life slips away
Though I am sorry, sorry for you
I guess there's only so much pain
A man can see and go through
Now the light has left his eyes
And while I set out for him to die
I feel so alone inside
Now there's a hole in me that's so deep and wide
I think I'll find a place to just rest my eyes
Wish I had DirtHeel for a ride
Wish I had DirtHeel for one last ride

Shoot From The Hip
02:35
|
|||
|
I could swear I can hear water
Just over this mountain
Oh how I could use a drink
I caught one in the ribcage
And two upon my shoulder
I'm praying' it's not worse than I think
My horse, DirtHeel
How I wish he'd not been shot down
The Lord was with me
Old Blackheart lays dead on the ground
I hear calling my friend I have avenged
Saying now he can rest
Now I am just seeing things
I fear this may be the end
Could swear I can hear trumpets
Just over the mountain
Oh I'm feeling much better now
I can see my wife and children
Urging me onward
Though long they've been in the ground
Well here come's DirtHeel
Running up from his old grave
Sow I'll ride him
Over hill through pearly gates

Funeral
03:38
|
|||
|
When you lived out your youngest days
They passed you by like a summer rain
You didn't know life was short like they say
Took the love you could get day by day
And you didn't need a lifetime
For the love to come back
When you were here your soul sailed by night
Now with the sunrise it's time to take flight
And the memories won't die with those
who were lucky to feel so close
To the one we knew dared
To the one who dreamed most
