Hey grandpa I see you walkin my way now tellin me I got too musch to lose
Hey grandpa don't even need to tell me twice never to care a little about the rules
Everyday you’re tellin everybody where you come from and the legend of the law you’re layin down
Got a place in your coat for the bourbon or the whiskey and pocket for a gun you’re toting round
Hey grandpa it’s easy to see how you got so far but still it’s hard bear
Hey grandpa the weight of the world wouldn’t make a difference if you care
Now Jeremiah you are a friend of mine
Jeremiah tell me a story one more time
Now there was a time you were always satisfied and took the by and by on the chin
but now these days you feel your hands are tied with all the pressure of the world we’re livin in
Hey grandpa I’m coming home to see you now and together we can make another plan
hey grandpa don’t matter where we start 'cos I know we’ll always be back here again
Hey grandpa
hey grandpa
Hey grandpa
Hey grandpa

laughin to himself about the way he showed 'em by the light in moon of New Mexico
Well it wasn't the first time he got away he was known for leavin the law that way
In the grass growin down Fort Sumner way you can still read the legend to this day
Spent a long time runnin Billy can't you see your time is coming Spent a long time Burnin up your soul
Spent a long time runnin Billy can't you see your time is comin better kick that horse and get on down the road
And the law and the law wasn't gonna give up on Billy

Or nothin that they aint done.
Gonna spend my time with a drink in hand another old guns
Well every night they’re down at the bar
Talkin bout the old times when it was hard
Never wondering if they have a round
Who is gonna pay
It was never easy to settle down but the old guns know better now
And they’re making the most of every single day
Three old guns just a smokin and drinkin
Three old guns just a killin time

Or nothin that they aint done.
Gonna spend my time with a drink in hand another old guns
Well they were already always here
As far back as I remember
Always pickin up the pieces of a love they left behind
Now they been misunderstood
And they’re all done with work for good
And any night or day Ithin you’re gonna find
Three old guns just a smokin and drinkin
Three old guns just a killin time
Three old guns when you go to see em
Are Some good old friends of mine
There ain’t nothin that they aint seen in the world
Or nothin that they aint done.

CHICKEN WIRE
True Love you fall down
Cut it off come around
Leave the nest make up never stay long enough
and you feel the tables turn in cold desire
running from the fear of the pain like a cat on fire
caught in the Chicken Wire
I left you for another so I thought I’d stay away
getting caught in the middle of the maze for just another day
Now the sweat on my brow is coming from the face of a liar
Couldn’t jump the fence even though I thought I’d try her
Caught in the Chicken wire
The shadows grow tall when you find a place to go
wondering where the muddy river ever goes
Cut yourself climbing up the stairway but you cover up the fall
and even though it burns you say it don’t hurt at all
it don’t hurt at all
Yeah you feel the tables turn in cold desire
running from the fear of the pain like a cat on fire
Caught in the chicken wire
Yeah the Chicken Wire
Ah the Chicken Wire
Yeah the Chicken Wire

THE OTHER MAN
Said you were the boss and told me what to do said I could be the other man

Anybody else would try to get away but I’m the other man
Oh I can be the other man

Maybe I should try to stand up to you but I’m the other man

SUNDOWN (Come See Me)
I saw you leave here on a sunny day fast on a ship and out on the runway
leave without a trace and money come to see me this way
The roar of the engine made a whining sound
took your mind from the edge go the middle of town said you couldn’t wait another day
come to see me this way
The ship and the sails and the wind were fair but the garrison came with a menacing stare
couldn’t warn you before the day come to see me this way
and the kids were waving from a troubles shore
but you had to decide if you wanted me more
like some of the others before come to see me this way
Sundown why you come to see me why you come to see me
come to see me this way
Sundown why you come to see me why you come to see me this way
Well the falling sky came thundering through
and when they called you back it was up to you
I couldn’t tell you what to do come to see
But now that you’re safe and I’m alone I sometimes wonder how you made it home
or if you’d ever come to stay come and see me this way
Sundown why you come to see me
why you come to see me come and see me this way
Sundown why you come to see
why you come to see me come and see me this way
Why you come to see me this way
traveling with your eyes so far away
Why you come to see me this way come and see me this way

THE COUNTY LINE
There’s a bar they call the County Line
you drink ‘till you’re drunk or kicked out at night
There’s a band that come on a quarter to nine
and they play real hard Friday night at The County Line
At the County Line
Rockabilly Bobby drinks enough for two
He’s got the TV on with the breakin’ news
Told everyone that he paid his dues
Writing songs that rhyme
Said he earned his time at the County Line
at the County Line
When the girls come in they’re already gone
Shouting over words to every song
They never stay out so long
and they laugh so loud bringin’ the boys outTto the County Line
To the County Line
To the County Line
To the County Line
Going home always seems so far away
but time goes fast when you stay everyday stay everyday
Stay every day at the County Line
When the evening’s done and the band shuts down
They’re falling into cars after every round
Tomorrow night here outside of town
They’ll be shining bright every night side by side
At the County Line
At the County Line
At the County Line
At the County Line

BACK ALIVE
So many times I let you down
So many times yeah you kept me around
Well you loaded up electricity
and waited for the right storm to come and put the life in me
Well I got moving parts and a backward hand
and I’m so over the moon with myself to get the life I led
I’m back Alive again yeah I’m back alive again
Well the danger’s gone
Now that I’m off my bed
and I can walk around with or without you just so long as I don’t move my head
Well I go downtown almost everynight
trying to figure out what to do with another chance at life (and I do)
I’m back alive again I’m back alive again I’m back alive again I’m back alive again
I go down town most everynight thing to figure out what to do yeah
Don’t run away from me now I’m back alive

WHEN THE DEVIL COMES HOME
When the Devil come home I ain’t sleeping alone outside your door
lying down in a smoky room down on the floor
my eyes are wide since I haven’t slept now that I’m on my own
Can’t say I like it here but I make myself know when the devil comes
When the devil comes home
Looking for the light on the shelf I try to keep in reach
wondering if i need something else to get to sleep
The noise outside calls me out and I’m down on the street again
wandering round from bar to bar looking for a friend
When the devil comes home When the devil comes home
When the devil comes home
When the devil comes home
I’m looking for my keys somewhere on the floor
tried to get in but she changed the locks and i want some more
I can’t get no sleep but I’m standing here outside
I can laugh in the mirror when I’m looking down cause I lost my pride
When the devil comes home When the devil comes home
When the devil comes home
