Lyrics:
You're in ruins
One, twenty-one guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, twenty-one guns
Throw up your arms
Into the sky
You and I
When you're at the end of the road
And you lost all sense of control
And your thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Your faith walks on broken glass
And the hangover doesn't pass
Nothing's ever built to last
You're in ruins
One, twenty-one guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, twenty-one guns
Throw up your arms
Into the sky
You and I
Did you try to live on your own
When you burned down the house and home?
You're in ruins
One, twenty-one guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, twenty-one guns
Throw up your arms
Into the sky
You and I
When you're at the end of the road
And you lost all sense of control
And your thoughts have taken their toll
When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul
Your faith walks on broken glass
And the hangover doesn't pass
Nothing's ever built to last
You're in ruins
One, twenty-one guns
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
One, twenty-one guns
Throw up your arms
Into the sky
You and I
Did you try to live on your own
When you burned down the house and home?
Where is my home, where is my home?
Is the the end of the road?
Senses spin out of control, it's not easy to know
Is this the end?
Is the the end of the road?
For you, I'd give a life time of stability
Anything you want of me
Nothing is impossible
For you, there are no words or ways to show my love
Or all the thoughts I'm thinking of
'Cause this life is no good alone
Since we've become one, I made a change
Everything I do now makes sense
All roads end
All I do is for you
For you, I share the cup of love that overflows
And anyone who knows us knows
That I would change all thoughts I have
For you, there is no low or high or in between
Of my heart that you haven't seen
'Cause I share all I have and am
Nothing I've said is hard to understand
All I feel, I feel deeper still
And always will
All this love is for you
Every note that I play
Every word I might say
Every melody I feel are only for you and your appeal
Every page that I write
Every day of my life
Would not be filled without the things
That my love for you now brings
For you, I make a promise of fidelity
Now and for eternity
No one could replace this love
For you, I take your hand and heart and everything
And add to them a wedding ring
'Cause this life is no good alone
Since we've become one you're all I know
If this feeling should leave I'd die
And here's why all I am is for you
Everything I do now makes sense
All roads end
All I do is for you
Only for you
Some things never change, it won't go away, the biggest of lies is what sells
Hanging on hooks waiting for us to mumble, they drool when we ring the bell
Waiting for something to make it make sense Road kill on the money trail
Under the wheels now I'm over the fence, the highest bid gets the soul for sale
(you sold away your name)
And who will break your fall?
Jerry Jeff Walker, John Inmon, Fred Krc, Bob Livingston
Chorus:
They call us the gonzos, the gonzo compadres
Los cinco caballeros, mirado las estrellas
And they call us the gonzos, the gonzo compadres
Los gatos con queso, and we love our mommies
We live by the mountains, we live by the sea
We live by our wits, we live to be free
We never take prisoners, we take no requests
What we do mostly is what we do best
Chorus
We laugh and we cry and we sing and we dance
We fly through the air by the seat of our pants
With Captain Pendejo, tequila in hand
We fall to our knees and kiss the ground when we land
Chorus
We're brave companeros, we ride beyond fences
We take to the road, taking leave of our senses
Adios amigos, so long senoritas
Your salty tears flavor our margaritas
Chorus
Place my body on the funeral pyre,
Cut it loose to float downstream
Leave it frozen on a mountain top,
Suspend it high to be picked clean
You said never to grow old,
But you forgot to tell me how
You said never to grow old
And then you sank your teeth into those final feet
Last night I dreamt of owls at my window
I knew that time was winding down
Turned to tell you of my premonition,
Changed my mind and lay back down
You said never to grow old,
But you forgot to tell me how
You said never to grow old
And then you sank your teeth into those final feet
No sense wasting the time you got,
You got to walk down every road
No sense pretending that you're what you're not,
When you got to shoulder every load
You said never to grow old,
But you forgot to tell me how
You said never to grow old
And then you sank your teeth into those final feet
Cut it loose, cut it loose, cut it loose
You said never to grow old,
But you forgot to tell me how
You said never to grow old
And then you sank your teeth into those final feet
I look by my window
And you walking by
I think of you
Everyday I want to
Everyday I need to
I'm on the road
And everything seems nice
I'm on the road
And I feel free
Everytime I wanna travel
I Look at this painting
Full of colors, of grace
With flowers and space
I 'm on the road
And everything seems fine
I 'm on the road
And I flee
The clouds appeared
And the storm came
Rainy days left behind
Came back to me
Sometimes
I am off road
Off Road
Nothing makes sense
Off Road
And it's nonsense
Nothing makes sense
And it's nonsense
Wasting memories beneath the sun
Danger days drown the only one
Crash your car in the middle of the road
Your sense of apathy has taken hold
You share these words in the darkest of nights
Assume the best are the best and the rest are alright
Take for granted the fact that excess rules your life
But console in the fact that for now it's alright
Take this phase
Wasting my days
I hate to say I told you so
You make your memories beneath the moon
Surround yourself with many people who
Align with your enemies in darkened rooms
No documentary just the brittle truth
You share these secrets then you set them alight
Forget those words that you shared in those darkest of nights
Struggle on the daily how excess rules your life
But console in the fact that for now it's alright
Take this phase
Wasting your days
I hate to say I told you so
Wasting memories beneath the sun
Danger days drown the only one
You crashed your car in the middle of the road
Your sense of apathy has taken hold
Foot off the pedal
Hands off the wheel
Eyes off the road, strange little fear
What has me broken
Is the road sense touch and feel
Driving with the windows down
Hands on the wheel
Sometimes I'm grateful
When I'm tired, don't want to hold the wheel
I lay back in comfort
Let the auto steer
Give me back the wheel and pedal
When I want to have that simple joy
Of driving with the windows down
Four on the floor
Where are those days of the open road before me
Had complete authority of the road
Maybe it's for the better, I don't know, I don't know
Gimme back the damn wheel and pedal
Four on the floor
There's a feeling of emotion
When I shift the gear from third to four
The car becomes an inspiration of my soul
Aw, the days of self-emotion
Are being driven market promotions
Overrated automation robs your soul
Where are those days of the open road before me
Had complete authority of the road
Maybe it's for the better, I don't know, I don't know
Gimme back the damn wheel and pedal
Four on the floor
Foot on the pedal
Hands on the wheel
Eyes on the road, now that's the feel
What was once the love of the road
Has suddenly reappeared
Screw the overrated automation let the tires squeal
Screw the overrated automation let the tires squeal
Screw the overrated automation let the tires squeal
So search, into voids of
Comfort, complacency
Scroll past every stop sign
Side road, sense of peace
Carrion, leave it to another dawn
Idle hands seek idle ambition
Heavy soul, wrought with failure
Dragging others with all your shameful guilt
Free will existed
You watched it die
Will you waste your days
Until the end
This is your life
You live in regret
Give into the urge
I feel them fucking sting
Free will is dormant
You're in a lapse
Can you find the strength
To lose yourself?
It's always at sunset the Hope Princeton Road
You come to mind and that lightens my load
The darkness is gathering the clouds overhead
I'm thinking about you and something you said
There's something you said that stands out in my mind
You said I was lonely that made me unkind
You said I should buck up and shoulder the road
Those words made some sense on the Hope Princeton Road
It's always at sunset the Hope Princeton Road
Spirits are high but the ceiling is low
I'm anticipating your bright smiling face
The pleasures awaiting me inside your place
Well inside your place there'll be food and a drink
Something cool maybe a tonic I think
Or maybe some tunes on your new stereo
To counter the hum of the Hope Princeton Road
It's always at sunset the Hope Princeton Road
My heart beat is racing my speed is controlled
I know that you're waiting an hour ahead
But this part is endless you've oft heard it said
You've oft heard it said that life is a road
It turns and it straightens, it's fast and it's slow
But all that's no comfort for right now I know
My life is contained on the Hope Princeton Road
It's always at sunset the Hope Princeton Road
You come to mind and that lightens my load
The darkness is gathering the clouds overhead
I'm thinking about you and something you said
There's something you said that stands out in my mind
You said I was lonely that made me unkind
You said I should buck up and shoulder the road
Those words made some sense on the Hope Princeton Road
Feels like lyin' in the dirt
Life is fatal, it ain't worth
To get up once again
It's always all or nothin'
But at that game I always lose
So wrong to be here
'Til my time has come
I'll sing the pessimist's song
Without any hope
Walkin' down the lonely road
But I gotta hold on, hold on
They say I gotta hold on tight
Without any hope
Still on the lonely road
No sense at all in tryin' hard to see the light
Got another blackeye, 'nother scar
I wonder every second how I got that far
It's always all or nothin'
But why I always have to lose
Dear life, thanks for being bruised
Again
Everything sucks
I gotta hold on
Everything sucks
I gotta hold on
Everything sucks
I gotta hold on
Everything sucks
I gotta hold on
Everything sucks
I gotta hold on
Everything sucks
I gotta hold on
Everything sucks
I gotta hold on
Everything sucks
Everything sucks
Gotta hold on gotta hold on
Gotta hold on gotta hold on
Gotta hold on gotta hold on
Gotta hold on tight
Without any hope
Walkin' down the lonely road
But I gotta hold on, hold on
They say I gotta hold on tight
Without any hope
Still on the lonely road
No sense at all in tryin' hard to see the light
This is the song of a Pessimist
This is the song of a Pessimist
This is the song of a Pessimist
This is the song of a Pessimist
Down in the ditch go and make a fist
Seeming like a Silk Road trading with the town ghosts
Sense be it Sixth
Swinging then you miss
Gnawing on the raw bone
Break it off it's hollow
Down in the ditch go and make a fist
Seeming like a Silk Road trading with the town ghosts
Sense be it Sixth
Swinging then you miss
Gnawing on the raw bone
Break it off it's hollow
Six six six six six six
Down in the ditch go and make a fist
Seeming like a Silk Road trading with the town ghosts
Sense be it Sixth
Swinging then you miss
Gnawing on the raw bone
Break it off it's hollow
Down in the ditch go and make a fist
Seeming like a Silk Road trading with the town ghosts
Sense be it Sixth
Swinging then you miss
Gnawing on the raw bone
Break it off it's hollow
So many travels so many ways
Think I don't think about it everyday
So many travels so many ways
Think I don't think about it everyday
So many travels so many ways
Think I don't think about it everyday
So many travels so many ways
Think I don't think about it everyday
Six six six six six six
Down in the ditch go and make a fist
Seeming like a Silk Road trading with the town ghosts
Sense be it Sixth
Swinging then you miss
Gnawing on the raw bone
Break it off it's hollow
Walking this road
Makes no sense when I'm Alone
Cause I know what it brings
Diggin dirt with my hands
Cause I don't wanna be here
Please don't be like everybody
Cell around my heart I don't trust anybody
Been backstabbed could you take the knives out
If i died now would you take the nine out
When I get rich yea we going all out
If I went broke would you love me tomorrow
I can't really hear myself think
Feel like I should let you in
Walking this road
Makes no sense when I'm Alone
Cause I know what it brings
Diggin dirt with my hands
Cause I don't wanna be here
Please don't be like everybody
Cell around my heart I don't trust anybody
I need you
You a diamond you shine bright
No im not hiding
Seen your eyes, yea you love me
I know, I know
Live everyday not just once
Tomorrow ain't promised today
Gon' Find me away
Walking this road
Makes no sense when I'm Alone
Cause I know what it brings
Diggin dirt with my hands
Cause I don't wanna be here
Please don't be like everybody
Cell around my heart I don't trust anybody
I just got back to routine
It goes from day to day
I've got this sneaky feeling
Gets closer as we play
After months and months of planning
Hard work to hit the road
No sense of security
You get when you're at home,
And just for you there is a calendar
Not just a need for the time
But just cause you're on my mind
It's made of days, this simple calendar
But it feels like years going by,
Where do I cry?
Lately I've been outside
But I'm so homesick
Miles away from what I feel like home is
Takin steps backwards
Foward I can focus
Trip around so far
Lost sense of the road ya
Lately I've been outside
But I'm so homesick
Miles away from what I feel like home is
Takin steps backwards
Foward I can focus
Trip around so far
Lost sense of the road ya
And I've been
Up n curvin around
Can I catch a break
So far can I just relax today
So quiet is my soul
But my heart keep goin for this hope
The doors peakin
I'm stir crazy
Locked outside
While it's still raining
Haven't started life
But it feels so late and
There's so much to do
Can't relate ya
Clock is tickin I can feel the time go
Started a new chapter of my life so
Still adjustin need some room
Sortin myself out got stuff to do ya
Lately I've been outside
But I'm so homesick
Miles away from what I feel like home is
Takin steps backwards
Foward I can focus
Trip around so far
Lost sense of the road ya
Lately I've been outside
But I'm so homesick
Miles away from what I feel like home is
Takin steps backwards
Foward I can focus
Trip around so far
Lost sense of the road ya
And I close my eyes
Just cover me from the light
I face at the end of the tunnel
And it's not that great
Wait till then
What a bummer
When I can use my GPS to go home
One, two, three, four
Wake up check my phone I got my pride on the line
Hang up 'cause I don't got no time for all of my lies
Makeup I try to cover up myself and disguise
But I don't want to hide it feels like
I can't seem to do this thing called life on my own
Try my best to keep my grip not swerve off the road
My sense of truth my component
I just pray they don't notice
Paranoia what I gotta let go
Uh, I don't know where to begin
I got like 2,000 people tryna point out my sins
It sounds like you tryna kill me for the places I been
But forget that Jesus walked with people struggling within
So I guess I'm on my own now
But it's okay 'cause I'm with the one who's in control now
Don't hesitate to feel embraced 'cause son you home now
So I guess I'm home bound
Packed up my bags and told my friends no time to slow down
One, two, three, four
Wake up check my phone I got my pride on the line
Hang up 'cause I don't got no time for all of my lies
Makeup I try to cover up myself and disguise
But I don't want to hide it feels like
I can't seem to do this thing called life on my own
Try my best to keep my grip not swerve off the road
My sense of truth my component
I just pray they don't notice
Paranoia what I gotta let go
I can't seem to do this thing called life on my own
Try my best to keep my grip not swerve off the road
My sense of truth my component
I just pray they don't notice
Paranoia what I gotta let go
I'm wanting things to change
I had your 2 cents in my pocket it bought nothing but shame
Now I see life with range
I met a Father up in Heaven and He called me by name
I'm wanting things to change
I had your 2 cents in my pocket it bought nothing but shame
Now I see life with range
I met a Father up in Heaven and He called me by name
I can't seem to do this thing called life on my own
Try my best to keep my grip not swerve off the road
My sense of truth my component
I just pray they don't notice
Paranoia what I gotta let go
Laytah
How am I meant to explain
This whole town and the city and lights
And the tyranny of losing it all
And the memories gained?
I go to ground
Back on the road to making some sense
Back on the road to my friends
When do you say that enough is enough?
When do you know that you're too far gone?
I can't control this flesh and blood
That's wrapped around my bones
It moves beneath me like a river
Into the great unknown
I stepped onto the moving stairs
Before I could tie my shoes
Pried a harp out of the fingers of a renegade
Who lived and died the blues
And his promise made was never clear
It just carve itself in me
All I saw was frost inside my hand
On the night he said to me
Someday
We'll live like horses
Free rein
From you old iron fences
There's more ways than one
To regain your senses
Break out the stalls
And we'll live like horses
We're the victims of the heartbreak
That kept us short of breath
Trapped above these bloodless streets
Without a safety net
I stood in line to join the tribe
One more customer of fate
Claimed a spoke in the wheel of the wagon train
On the road to the golden gate
On the flat dry dessert I jumped ship
It just made sense to me
I've spent too long in the belly of the beast
And now I shall be free
Someday
We'll live like horses
Free rein
From you old iron fences
There's more ways than one
To regain your senses
Break out the stalls
And we'll live like horses
Pastie suppers down at Davey's chipper
Gravy rings, wagon wheels, barmbracks, snowballs.
A sense of wonder
A sense of wonder
A sense of wonder
She was one of a kind, she was so hard to put down
She had a one-track mind and she wouldn't apologise
She made herself alone, she owed nothing to anyone
Got a goal of her own, got the whole world to run
She had so much to live for
She raised her own voice, waited for nobody permission
Her pride was not a choice, confidence was not an option
She took no one's advice, really knew where she was going
Dignity had no price, doubt had no meaning
She had so much to live for
She'll bet on herself
Got nothing to regret
She'll go for broke
Settled roads made no sense
She was one of a kind, she was so hard to put down
She had already chosen between coherence and freedom
She won't snap at first, but she'll bite at the second time
She was in her own right (x4)
She'll bet on herself
Got nothing to regret
She'll go for broke
Settled roads made no sense
Tikya the Blackheart Man, children
I say, don't go near him
Tikya the Blackheart Man children
For even lions fear him (repeat)
Growing in a neighbourhood for such along time
That is filled with fear
I can't go here, can't go there
And I ain't supposed to go anywhere
When I ask my Mom if she could let me go out and play
She said be careful of the stranger
Giving candies to children
And then take them away
He lives in the gullies of the city
He's the Blackheart Man (The blackheart Man)
Even in the lonely parts of the country
He's the Blackheart Man, Blackheart Man
Got no friend, no home, no family
He's the Blackheart 'Man, The Blackheart Man
He is famed to live just like the Gypsy
He's the Blackheart 'Man, The Blackheart Man
Growing and learning and gathering, for myself a little more
Experience jumping over the fence
Curiousity has brought me yes it's brought me, a little common-sense
Trodding the road of life, I've come to this one conclusion
That everything is equal under the sun, all that is createdby JAH mighty hand
And he said knock and it shall be opened
Seek and Ye shall find that wisdom is found in the simplest of places,
In the nick of time, knock and it shall be opened
Seek and ye shall find that wisdom is found in the simplest of places, in the nick of
Time and now I trod the same road of aflictions just like the
Blackheart Man, just like the Blackheart Man
Getting my share of humiliation just like the Blackheart Man
Just like the Blackheart Man
You'll find me even in the prison of the dungeons
Just like the Blackheart Man, just like the the Blackheart Man
I even get blamed without a reason just like the Blackheart Man
Just like the Blackheart man yau
No cross, no crown, no sorrow, no trial and crosses In-a-I way
But the hotter the battle is the sweeter JAH JAH victory
Ancient children use to say if you want good
Your nose got to run run run
How could the world go free, and let JAH bear the cross alone
And them that drink of the old wine hath no place for the new
For the new and the stones that are head of the corner are the
Same one that the builders refused
Now, it's the Blackheart Man, children
Who've become the wonder of the city (rep).
And wherever we go
The ego goes
A walk in the woods
Senses overload
It's a feeling so good (I'd say)
Let's keep going past the end of the road
Impossible sense
Found in consciousness
It's heaven sent
It's reality-ness
