51 Pieces lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
The O.H.I.O. S.H.P.
Had a quota to fill, that quota was me
One helluva night down at the H.O.B.
51 pieces on the side of the road
Francis Ford and Mary Jane
Mick and Keith down at the bowling lane
All was cool 'til the sun up came
51 pieces on the side of the road
[Chorus:]
Well, it never occurred to me
How ten out of ten would go free
For 51 pieces in the side of the road
[Instrumental]
The thunder rolls and the lightnin' is flashin'
Sirens scream and the cars are crashin'
I am the object of their passion
51 pieces on the side of the road
It goes to show that you never know
Swing up high, you come down low
Watch your back in Ohio
51 pieces on the side of the road
[Repeat Chorus]
[Instrumental]
Had a quota to fill, that quota was me
One helluva night down at the H.O.B.
51 pieces on the side of the road
Francis Ford and Mary Jane
Mick and Keith down at the bowling lane
All was cool 'til the sun up came
51 pieces on the side of the road
[Chorus:]
Well, it never occurred to me
How ten out of ten would go free
For 51 pieces in the side of the road
[Instrumental]
The thunder rolls and the lightnin' is flashin'
Sirens scream and the cars are crashin'
I am the object of their passion
51 pieces on the side of the road
It goes to show that you never know
Swing up high, you come down low
Watch your back in Ohio
51 pieces on the side of the road

Bluebonnets lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Hair blowin' in the wind
Wonder what you pretend you are
When you run
Bandana on your head
Your face is turning red
You throw it down to the ground
When you are done
[Chorus:]
I'll think of you
When the blue bonnets bloom
When the blue bonnets bloom
I'll think of you
You always seem to make me laugh
When you ask me 'What is that?'
A million times
And you know
Little things that you do
They are the things that get me through
When I'm up to my hips in snow
[Repeat Chorus]
Another night I'm working hard
Another night, another bar
A million miles outta touch
Say your prayers, say my name
Keep it fresh on your brain
And don't forget that I love you this much
[Repeat Chorus]
Wonder what you pretend you are
When you run
Bandana on your head
Your face is turning red
You throw it down to the ground
When you are done
[Chorus:]
I'll think of you
When the blue bonnets bloom
When the blue bonnets bloom
I'll think of you
You always seem to make me laugh
When you ask me 'What is that?'
A million times
And you know
Little things that you do
They are the things that get me through
When I'm up to my hips in snow
[Repeat Chorus]
Another night I'm working hard
Another night, another bar
A million miles outta touch
Say your prayers, say my name
Keep it fresh on your brain
And don't forget that I love you this much
[Repeat Chorus]
Burn Like The Sun lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
This is personal
Worse than I thought it was
Worse than it could be
Worse than a hole in me
You came with fire
And left it in me
Deep down it sits
And the fuse is lit 'til now
[Chorus:]
You can't help it
You're alive just like anyone
But you forget
I burn just like the sun
This is beautiful
More like a train wreck
And all the passin' cars
They wanna know who you are
I, suffer the season
And you are well aware
Of the reasons why
[Repeat Chorus]
[Instrumental]
[Repeat Chorus 3x]
Worse than I thought it was
Worse than it could be
Worse than a hole in me
You came with fire
And left it in me
Deep down it sits
And the fuse is lit 'til now
[Chorus:]
You can't help it
You're alive just like anyone
But you forget
I burn just like the sun
This is beautiful
More like a train wreck
And all the passin' cars
They wanna know who you are
I, suffer the season
And you are well aware
Of the reasons why
[Repeat Chorus]

To Find My Love lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
There's a view from here where you can see tomorrow
And after that it's up to you
There ain't no point in tryin' to drown your sorrows
The point is they're drownin' you
And fools like us, we've got to stay together
If we're partyin' in the streets
'Cause we both know how plans can change
Quicker than a heartbeat
And I have searched the world to find my love
And I have searched my soul to find my love
And I just wanna be sure the love we share is strong and pure
And I have searched the world to find my love with you
Your still broken dream for a dime a dozen
Get a broken heart for less
You steal a poem from your second cousin
But you better get your money blessed
And fools like us, we've got to stay together
If we're partyin' in the streets
We both know how plans can change
Quicker than a heartbeat
And I have searched the world to find my love
And I have searched my soul to find my love
I just wanna be sure the love we share is strong and pure
And I have searched the world to find my love with you
There's a view from here where you can see tomorrow
And after that it's up to you
There ain't no point in tryin' to drown your sorrows
The point is they're drownin' you
And fools like us, we've got to stay together
If we're partyin' in the streets
'Cause we both know how plans can change
Quicker than a heartbeat
And I have searched the world to find my love
And I have searched my soul to find my love
And I just wanna be sure the love we share is strong and pure
I have searched the world to find my love with you
And after that it's up to you
There ain't no point in tryin' to drown your sorrows
The point is they're drownin' you
And fools like us, we've got to stay together
If we're partyin' in the streets
'Cause we both know how plans can change
Quicker than a heartbeat
And I have searched the world to find my love
And I have searched my soul to find my love
And I just wanna be sure the love we share is strong and pure
And I have searched the world to find my love with you
Your still broken dream for a dime a dozen
Get a broken heart for less
You steal a poem from your second cousin
But you better get your money blessed
And fools like us, we've got to stay together

Drag lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Blame me if you wanna blame me
Hang me if you're gonna hang me
Damn me if you're gonna damn me
Don't drag me along
What's up? I know what you're thinking
Times up, I feel this thing is sinking now
You crack up every time you're drinking
Don't drag me along
Don't drag me along
[Chorus:]
Don't drag me along
(Stop dragging me)
Stop putting me on
Don't drag me along
(Stop dragging me)
It's the same old song
Don't drag me along
And this thing, it's got its share of glitches
I feel it's headed for the ditches down
Back-talking dirty sons of bitches
Don't drag me along
And deadly, but still you try to save me
You're crazy to ever try to play me now
Lady, lady in the waiting
Don't drag me along
Don't drag me along
[Repeat Chorus]
[Instrumental]
[Repeat Chorus 2x]
Hang me if you're gonna hang me
Damn me if you're gonna damn me
Don't drag me along
What's up? I know what you're thinking
Times up, I feel this thing is sinking now
You crack up every time you're drinking
Don't drag me along
Don't drag me along
[Chorus:]
Don't drag me along
(Stop dragging me)
Stop putting me on
Don't drag me along
(Stop dragging me)
It's the same old song
Don't drag me along
And this thing, it's got its share of glitches
I feel it's headed for the ditches down
Back-talking dirty sons of bitches
Don't drag me along
And deadly, but still you try to save me
You're crazy to ever try to play me now
Lady, lady in the waiting
Don't drag me along
Don't drag me along

Kick In The Head lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
If I had a dime for every single time
That something was promised to me
I'd have about 235 dollars
And not a lot of wait and see
What's gonna be
Hey, I'm jaded
And I shoulda saw it coming
Frustrated
With this roller coaster, bathtub toaster
Kick in the head
It ain't hocus pocus, you got to stay focused
If you want a good delivery
Somebody once said to keep it in the red
Well, that's the only color I see
It's gettin' to me
Hey, I'm jaded
And I shoulda saw it coming
Frustrated
With this mother lovin', head in the oven
Kick in the head
I forget to mention, you got to pay attention
If you ever wanna believe
A change will do you better, keep yourself together
Sit back and let it breathe
Let it bleed
Hey, I'm jaded
And I shoulda saw it coming
Frustrated
With this pornographic, jump into traffic
Kick in the head
Hey, I'm ready and willing
To jump off the building
Kick in the head
That something was promised to me
I'd have about 235 dollars
And not a lot of wait and see
What's gonna be
Hey, I'm jaded
And I shoulda saw it coming
Frustrated
With this roller coaster, bathtub toaster
Kick in the head
It ain't hocus pocus, you got to stay focused
If you want a good delivery
Somebody once said to keep it in the red
Well, that's the only color I see
It's gettin' to me
Hey, I'm jaded
And I shoulda saw it coming
Frustrated
With this mother lovin', head in the oven
Kick in the head
I forget to mention, you got to pay attention
If you ever wanna believe
A change will do you better, keep yourself together
Sit back and let it breathe
Let it bleed
Hey, I'm jaded
And I shoulda saw it coming
Frustrated
With this pornographic, jump into traffic
Kick in the head
Hey, I'm ready and willing
To jump off the building
Kick in the head
Overtable lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Won't you let it go
It's taken its toll
Yeah, you beat down, you choked it out
Chewed it up and spit it out
I can't take no more
[Chorus:]
Only so much I can give
Only so much you can take
Won't you please just let me live
Only so much you can break
When you see me flyin' now
Baby, please don't bring me down
Overtable look
That was all it took
It was one for the books, that overtable look
Yeah, you picked it up from the ground
Found the faintest hint of sound
I might still be here
[Repeat Chorus]
[Instrumental]
You've got reasons to cry
Baby, so do I
Even though I know they will dry
You know I care, but to be fair
This ain't going anywhere
Until you let it go
[Repeat Chorus]
When you see me flyin' now
Baby, please don't bring me down
Down
It's taken its toll
Yeah, you beat down, you choked it out
Chewed it up and spit it out
I can't take no more
[Chorus:]
Only so much I can give
Only so much you can take
Won't you please just let me live
Only so much you can break
When you see me flyin' now
Baby, please don't bring me down
Overtable look
That was all it took
It was one for the books, that overtable look
Yeah, you picked it up from the ground
Found the faintest hint of sound
I might still be here
[Repeat Chorus]
[Instrumental]
You've got reasons to cry
Baby, so do I
Even though I know they will dry
You know I care, but to be fair
This ain't going anywhere
Until you let it go
[Repeat Chorus]
When you see me flyin' now
Baby, please don't bring me down
Down
Overtable Interlude lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
I put the pedal to the metal, like a bullet through a barrel
I was halfway outta this town
The sun was sinking low, and as I watched it go where
You called me, said: Baby, won't you turn around?"
I said: Forgive me darlin', but the highway has been calling
Gonna find another town and buy some new clothes
I have to beg your pardon, but there's nothing in your garden
But a black rose
Yeah, a black rose
Well, it was fine in the beginning, but there always is an ending
And there's always a twist in the plot
That web that you've been weaving is as strong as it's deceiving
But I just ain't believing that'll get caught
I'm sure you'll find another that don't mind being smothered
By the kind of love a lover like you knows
It can only harden when it grows inside your garden
Like a black rose
Yeah, a black rose
I was halfway outta this town
The sun was sinking low, and as I watched it go where
You called me, said: Baby, won't you turn around?"
I said: Forgive me darlin', but the highway has been calling
Gonna find another town and buy some new clothes
I have to beg your pardon, but there's nothing in your garden
But a black rose
Yeah, a black rose
Well, it was fine in the beginning, but there always is an ending
And there's always a twist in the plot
That web that you've been weaving is as strong as it's deceiving
But I just ain't believing that'll get caught
I'm sure you'll find another that don't mind being smothered
By the kind of love a lover like you knows
It can only harden when it grows inside your garden
Like a black rose
Yeah, a black rose
Pretty Lady lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Hey pretty lady in the picture with the patent leather high heels on
You've been in my heart and on my mind like you've never known
I don't know where you come from
But you hit me like an atom bomb
Pretty lady in the picture with the patent leather high hells on
Hey pretty lady on the poster with the dagger running down her neck
You've got my money, my attention and my respect
Nobody knows what you went through
You just did what you had to do
Pretty lady on the poster with the dagger running down her neck
Pretty lady
Pretty lady
Pretty lady
[Instrumental]
Hey pretty lady with the long gray hair in the limousine
You're gonna live forever on the cover and the pages of the magazines
Raven hair and milky skin
You didn't leave this world in sin
Pretty lady in the back of a long black limousine
Pretty lady
Pretty lady
Pretty lady
You've been in my heart and on my mind like you've never known
I don't know where you come from
But you hit me like an atom bomb
Pretty lady in the picture with the patent leather high hells on
Hey pretty lady on the poster with the dagger running down her neck
You've got my money, my attention and my respect
Nobody knows what you went through
You just did what you had to do
Pretty lady on the poster with the dagger running down her neck
Pretty lady
Pretty lady
Pretty lady

Hey pretty lady with the long gray hair in the limousine
You're gonna live forever on the cover and the pages of the magazines
Raven hair and milky skin
You didn't leave this world in sin
Pretty lady in the back of a long black limousine
Pretty lady

Tomorrow lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
What are all the people sayin'
About you and me when it went south?
I bet they're sayin' that we both went crazy
They can't shut their mouth
What the hell were we even thinkin'
To get ourselves in such a bind?
Conversation and drinkin'
It should be a crime
We can't take this for much longer
We don't need this, we've grown stronger
Tell me, baby, we can change things
Hey, hey lady what tomorrow brings
Stop all the hatin' and pretendin'
Stop the music and stop the press
This back and forth, it's never-endin'
Why don't you give it a rest?
Time gives and time is taken
Time is not the friend we thought we had
The hour's late and the clock is tickin'
It can't be that bad
We can't take this for much longer
We don't need this, we've grown stronger
Tell me, lady, we can change things
Hey, hey baby what tomorrow brings
Hey, hey everybody
Step back and take a look around
Stand up and draw back the curtain
Play it to the crowd
Hey, hey everybody
Hey, hey everybody
Hey, hey everybody
About you and me when it went south?
I bet they're sayin' that we both went crazy
They can't shut their mouth
What the hell were we even thinkin'
To get ourselves in such a bind?
Conversation and drinkin'
It should be a crime
We can't take this for much longer
We don't need this, we've grown stronger
Tell me, baby, we can change things
Hey, hey lady what tomorrow brings
Stop all the hatin' and pretendin'
Stop the music and stop the press
This back and forth, it's never-endin'
Why don't you give it a rest?
Time gives and time is taken
Time is not the friend we thought we had
The hour's late and the clock is tickin'
It can't be that bad
We can't take this for much longer
We don't need this, we've grown stronger
Tell me, lady, we can change things
Hey, hey baby what tomorrow brings
Hey, hey everybody
Step back and take a look around
Stand up and draw back the curtain
Play it to the crowd
Hey, hey everybody
Hey, hey everybody
Hey, hey everybody
Confident lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
I'm the one under your skin
Cheap red wine and cheaper sin
I'm the one behind those eyes
Deep beneath, in between your sighs
If you're confident, I will let you in
I will let you in, if you knock again
You're the one so underground
Rooted into me somehow
You're the one that had to be
I can't seem to lift you up to me
Lift you up to me
If you're confident, I will let you in
I will let you in, we'll be born again
Come over here
I'll make you whole at night
Come over here
Your last will is your last right
If you're confident, I will let you in
I will let you in once again
If you're confident, I will let you in
I will let you in if you're confident
Cheap red wine and cheaper sin
I'm the one behind those eyes
Deep beneath, in between your sighs
If you're confident, I will let you in
I will let you in, if you knock again
You're the one so underground
Rooted into me somehow
You're the one that had to be
I can't seem to lift you up to me
Lift you up to me
If you're confident, I will let you in
I will let you in, we'll be born again
Come over here
I'll make you whole at night
Come over here
Your last will is your last right
If you're confident, I will let you in
I will let you in once again
If you're confident, I will let you in
I will let you in if you're confident
My Chances lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Not so long ago, I thought I knew it all
I had the world by the hand
Every day is so off color now
I don't know where to stand
[Chorus:]
I'm lookin' for the answer
Sittin' right in front of me
Am I not ready to take my chances?
Or have my chances overtaken me?
I wish the fog would burn up in the sun
And let the light show me the way
Flip a quarter, watch it hit the ground
And leave it all up to fate
[Repeat Chorus]
That's the question that's been scratchin'
Like a cat at my door
Pretty soon it's gonna get tired of askin'
And it won't haunt me no more
I'm lookin' for the answer
It's sittin' right in front of me
Am I not willing to take my chances?
Well, my chances have overtaken me
And not so long ago, I thought I knew it all
It's comin' back to me
I had the world by the hand
Every day is so off color now
I don't know where to stand
[Chorus:]
I'm lookin' for the answer
Sittin' right in front of me
Am I not ready to take my chances?
Or have my chances overtaken me?
I wish the fog would burn up in the sun
And let the light show me the way
Flip a quarter, watch it hit the ground
And leave it all up to fate
[Repeat Chorus]
That's the question that's been scratchin'
Like a cat at my door
Pretty soon it's gonna get tired of askin'
And it won't haunt me no more
I'm lookin' for the answer
It's sittin' right in front of me
Am I not willing to take my chances?
Well, my chances have overtaken me
And not so long ago, I thought I knew it all
It's comin' back to me
Carmelita lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
I hear Mariachi static on my radio
And the tubes they light up the dark
And I'm there with her in Ensenada
And I'm here in Echo Park
Carmelita hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
Well, I'm sittin' here playing solitaire
With my pearl-handled deck
The county won't give me no more methadone
And they cut off your welfare check
Carmelita hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
Well, I pawned my Smith Corona
And I went to meet my man
He hangs out down on Alvarado Street
By the Pioneer chicken stand
Carmelita hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
Carmelita hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
And the tubes they light up the dark
And I'm there with her in Ensenada
And I'm here in Echo Park
Carmelita hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
Well, I'm sittin' here playing solitaire
With my pearl-handled deck
The county won't give me no more methadone
And they cut off your welfare check
Carmelita hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
Well, I pawned my Smith Corona
And I went to meet my man
He hangs out down on Alvarado Street
By the Pioneer chicken stand
Carmelita hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
On the outskirts of town
Carmelita hold me tighter
I think I'm sinking down
And I'm all strung out on heroin
Angel Flying Too Close To The Ground (Live) lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
If you had not have fallen
Then I would not have found you
Angel flying too close to the ground
And I patched up your broken wing
And hung around a while
Trying to keep your spirits up
And your fever down
I knew someday that you would fly away
For love's the greatest healer to be found
So leave me if you need to I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground
Fly on fly on past the speed of sound
I'd rather see you up than see you down
So leave me if you need to I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground
So leave me if you need to I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground
Then I would not have found you
Angel flying too close to the ground
And I patched up your broken wing
And hung around a while
Trying to keep your spirits up
And your fever down
I knew someday that you would fly away
For love's the greatest healer to be found
So leave me if you need to I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground
Fly on fly on past the speed of sound
I'd rather see you up than see you down
So leave me if you need to I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground
So leave me if you need to I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground
Soul Agent (Live) lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Rosie cooks with love 5 bucks a plate
And she'll cook for if you
If don't show up to late
'cuz when you're feelin' low down
As empty as a hole
Go to rosie's cafe, she'll nourish your soul
[Chorus]
'Cuz she's a soul agent for the USA
She'll be here tomorrow
After she gets through t'day
Yeah...

She wears crushed purple velvet
She's swimmin' in my mind
She's doin' what she wants to get herself by
[Chorus x2]
Yours is the only soul you can know
And yours is the only road you can go
The finest people that you'll meet yeah

With his own two hands
When the weight on your shoulders
Is wearing you down
Well he'll do his best to bring you around
[Chorus]

Train To Birmingham (Live) lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
I've been riding on this train
Drinking whiskey for my pain
Another good ol' boy headed home
And every town I see
Wants to take a part of me
That's the price that you pay when you roam
Well I cry when I have to
And I lie when I can
But I die a little slower
On the train to Birmingham
I walked holes in both my shoes
Got a guitar full of blues
And a one way ticket for my remedy
It's the same ol' lonesome song
I've been singing all night long
Hey, porter, are we out of Tennessee
Well I cry when I have to
And I lie when I can
But I die a little slower
On the train to Birmingham
Well every year I take this train
To Alabama in the rain
When I get that lonesome feelin' in my bones
I never get to Birmingham
But gettin' there ain't the plan
I just like the feel of going home
Well I cry when I have to
And I lie when I can
But I die a little slower
On the train to Birmingham
On the train to Birmingham
Drinking whiskey for my pain
Another good ol' boy headed home
And every town I see
Wants to take a part of me
That's the price that you pay when you roam
Well I cry when I have to
And I lie when I can
But I die a little slower
On the train to Birmingham
I walked holes in both my shoes
Got a guitar full of blues
And a one way ticket for my remedy
It's the same ol' lonesome song
I've been singing all night long
Hey, porter, are we out of Tennessee
Well I cry when I have to
And I lie when I can
But I die a little slower
On the train to Birmingham
Well every year I take this train
To Alabama in the rain
When I get that lonesome feelin' in my bones
I never get to Birmingham
But gettin' there ain't the plan
I just like the feel of going home
Well I cry when I have to
And I lie when I can
But I die a little slower

Record Exec lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Well you're egg-shell walking
I'm talking with you honestly
Let's keep this thing rockin'
Let it be what it's gonna be
We don't need a cheaper version
It sounds like perversion
To tell you the truth
I ain't sleeping with the enemy
It ain't me
Got your finger in the door letting everbody know
That you made your stand
No time for change
No time to rearrange for the radio man
We don't need a cheaper version
It sounds like perversion
Open your mind and see what I want you to see
[Chorus]
What do you want from me?
Big talkin' man
I didn't build it all just to watch it fall into your hands
What do you want from me?
Big talkin' man
You want to put your brand on every little plan
And never follow through
My foot is down this time around
I'm gonna do what it is I do
[Repeat chorus]
I'm talking with you honestly
Let's keep this thing rockin'
Let it be what it's gonna be
We don't need a cheaper version
It sounds like perversion
To tell you the truth
I ain't sleeping with the enemy
It ain't me
Got your finger in the door letting everbody know
That you made your stand
No time for change
No time to rearrange for the radio man
We don't need a cheaper version
It sounds like perversion
Open your mind and see what I want you to see
[Chorus]
What do you want from me?
Big talkin' man
I didn't build it all just to watch it fall into your hands
What do you want from me?
Big talkin' man
You want to put your brand on every little plan
And never follow through
My foot is down this time around
I'm gonna do what it is I do
[Repeat chorus]
Dead Man lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Judgment coming down on you
Now your conscience is kicking in
Everybody's to blame baby but you
Now my patience is wearing thin
[Chorus:]
Get out of my life you're coming unthread
Out of your mind over your head
And you wonder why you're all alone
Losing your grip coming undone
Using your mouth like a Gatling gun
I won't be your stepping stone
If there's a dead man in my closet
Show me the bones
What did I ever do to you?
I've always loved you just the same
I hate feeling like I do
I wish my blood wasn't in your veins
[Repeat chorus]
Now you wanna take it back
Well you could beg and you could plead
I ain't cutting you no slack
And you ain't no 'a part of me
Get out of my life you're coming unthread
Out of your mind over your head
And you wonder why you're all alone
Losing your grip coming undone
Using your mouth like a Gatling gun
I won't be your stepping stone
If there's a dead man in my closet
Show me the bones
If there's a dead man in my closet
Show me the bones
Now your conscience is kicking in
Everybody's to blame baby but you
Now my patience is wearing thin
[Chorus:]
Get out of my life you're coming unthread
Out of your mind over your head
And you wonder why you're all alone
Losing your grip coming undone
Using your mouth like a Gatling gun
I won't be your stepping stone
If there's a dead man in my closet
Show me the bones
What did I ever do to you?
I've always loved you just the same
I hate feeling like I do
I wish my blood wasn't in your veins
[Repeat chorus]
Now you wanna take it back
Well you could beg and you could plead
I ain't cutting you no slack
And you ain't no 'a part of me
Get out of my life you're coming unthread
Out of your mind over your head
And you wonder why you're all alone
Losing your grip coming undone
Using your mouth like a Gatling gun
I won't be your stepping stone
If there's a dead man in my closet
Show me the bones
If there's a dead man in my closet
Show me the bones
The Deal lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
I don't like livin' in this town
I don't like the way it makes me feel
It ain't much better when I moved around
Rolling around rolling on from town to town
I don't like to be ignored
I don't like it when you stare me down
My heart and soul are torn twisted thorn woven all around your crown
[Chorus:]
I don't mean to sound condescending
There's no need in me pretending
Let the deal go down
[Instrumental]
Well it ain't no breaking news
No it ain't like it was
You got this thing you do
The thing you do
You know what it does
My head's been hanging down, mmm
Dark clouds follow me around
Follow me down
Rolling on from town to town
I don't mean to sound condescending
There's no need in me pretending
Round, round, and round
I don't mean to sound condescending
There's no need in me pretending
Let the deal go down
I don't like the way it makes me feel
It ain't much better when I moved around
Rolling around rolling on from town to town
I don't like to be ignored
I don't like it when you stare me down
My heart and soul are torn twisted thorn woven all around your crown
[Chorus:]
I don't mean to sound condescending
There's no need in me pretending
Let the deal go down
[Instrumental]
Well it ain't no breaking news
No it ain't like it was
You got this thing you do
The thing you do
You know what it does
My head's been hanging down, mmm
Dark clouds follow me around
Follow me down
Rolling on from town to town
I don't mean to sound condescending
There's no need in me pretending
Round, round, and round
I don't mean to sound condescending
There's no need in me pretending
Let the deal go down
Lawrence lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
December it's usually a little colder
That's something that I'll learn as I get older
People walkin' by staring at the ground
Most of them walk on by some throw their paper down
Mama's tambourine yellow submarine
My daddy sings and then there's me
Christmas, I guess it's gonna miss us
For all that I know, it's just another day
Can you spare the time for me and mine
If you're down on your luck now's your turn to shine
For daddy's guitar strings, me and Bobby McGee
My mama sings, and then there's me
Am I the only one, I wish I could ask someone
Well I just stare at the sky, like there's nothing wrong
As that December wind starts to get strong
As I hum along to my people's song
What is it good for, come you masters of war
My people sing, mama's tambourine, daddy's guitar strings
And then there's me, and then there's me
That's something that I'll learn as I get older
People walkin' by staring at the ground
Most of them walk on by some throw their paper down
Mama's tambourine yellow submarine
My daddy sings and then there's me
Christmas, I guess it's gonna miss us
For all that I know, it's just another day
Can you spare the time for me and mine
If you're down on your luck now's your turn to shine
For daddy's guitar strings, me and Bobby McGee
My mama sings, and then there's me
Am I the only one, I wish I could ask someone
Well I just stare at the sky, like there's nothing wrong
As that December wind starts to get strong
As I hum along to my people's song
What is it good for, come you masters of war
My people sing, mama's tambourine, daddy's guitar strings
And then there's me, and then there's me
In Oklahoma lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
The Indian man lost all of his land in Oklahoma
A man dressed in black gave some of it back to Oklahoma
And the man that they called Sam
He washed the Red out of the land in Oklahoma
Well back in the day the W.P.A. in Oklahoma
Woody Guthrie would sing about the crops and no rain in Oklahoma
Well the rain it never came
Woody Guthrie sang the pain of Oklahoma
[Instrumental]
1982 a bubblin' crude in Oklahoma
A forty thousand foot well drillin' strait to hell in Oklahoma
Fifty dollars a goddamn barrel
Wish I'd never sold that well in Oklahoma
OKLA-HOMA Oklahoma
A man dressed in black gave some of it back to Oklahoma
And the man that they called Sam
He washed the Red out of the land in Oklahoma
Well back in the day the W.P.A. in Oklahoma
Woody Guthrie would sing about the crops and no rain in Oklahoma
Well the rain it never came
Woody Guthrie sang the pain of Oklahoma
[Instrumental]
1982 a bubblin' crude in Oklahoma
A forty thousand foot well drillin' strait to hell in Oklahoma
Fifty dollars a goddamn barrel

Cry Lonely lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
When the rain runs down your window
And you can't hold back your tears
And you're so afraid to be alone
You know I'm always right here
You cry lonely
And I come runnin'
I come to your rescue; I'll chase your blues away
You cry lonely, but you don't really want me
And I won't be there one of these days
You always say your heart is breakin'
Then you hear the wolf outside your door
I know you, you just use me
Till you don't need me anymore
You cry lonely
And I come runnin'
I come to your rescue; I'll chase your blues away
You cry lonely, but you don't really want me
And I won't be there one of these days
Someday when you know you really love me
You're gonna cry my name
And I'll be gone
You cry lonely
And I come runnin'
I come to your rescue; I'll chase your blues away
You cry lonely, but you don't really want me
And I won't be there one of these days
I won't be there
When you cry my name
I won't be there
When you cry my name
And you can't hold back your tears
And you're so afraid to be alone
You know I'm always right here
You cry lonely
And I come runnin'
I come to your rescue; I'll chase your blues away
You cry lonely, but you don't really want me
And I won't be there one of these days
You always say your heart is breakin'
Then you hear the wolf outside your door
I know you, you just use me
Till you don't need me anymore
You cry lonely
And I come runnin'
I come to your rescue; I'll chase your blues away
You cry lonely, but you don't really want me
And I won't be there one of these days
Someday when you know you really love me
You're gonna cry my name
And I'll be gone
You cry lonely
And I come runnin'
I come to your rescue; I'll chase your blues away
You cry lonely, but you don't really want me
And I won't be there one of these days
I won't be there
When you cry my name
I won't be there
When you cry my name
Smoke Another lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Smoke another cigarette
Drink some more booze
Check, check, check, a hey, hey want to
I've got a ringin' in my ear and I'm going deaf
You got a keep on keepin' on ‘til there's nothin' left
Roll another number down to Baton Rouge
Check, check, check, a hey, hey want to
Man stumblin', slidin', down to step inside my dreams
Put it all together but it just can't party the scenes
I ain't even got a quarter for the well
I guess all my wishes have fell to hell
Flip another breaker
Crack another fuse
Check, check, check, a hey, hey want to
Gonna make it baby, even if I have to crawl
Gonna hit full speed, even if I hit the wall
I ain't even got a quarter for the well
I guess all my wishes have fell to hell
Smoke another cigarette
Drink some more booze
Check, check, check, a hey, hey want to
I've got to build it all back up
Just to burn it down
Fill it up mister, I ain't got time to hang around
Fill it up mister, I ain't got time to hang around
Drink some more booze
Check, check, check, a hey, hey want to
I've got a ringin' in my ear and I'm going deaf
You got a keep on keepin' on ‘til there's nothin' left
Roll another number down to Baton Rouge
Check, check, check, a hey, hey want to
Man stumblin', slidin', down to step inside my dreams
Put it all together but it just can't party the scenes
I ain't even got a quarter for the well
I guess all my wishes have fell to hell
Flip another breaker
Crack another fuse
Check, check, check, a hey, hey want to
Gonna make it baby, even if I have to crawl
Gonna hit full speed, even if I hit the wall

Check, check, check, a hey, hey want to
I've got to build it all back up
Just to burn it down
Fill it up mister, I ain't got time to hang around
Fill it up mister, I ain't got time to hang around
Soul Agent lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Rosie cooks with love 5 bucks a plate
And she'll cook for if you, if don't show up too late
'Cuz when you're feelin' low down, as empty as a hole
Go to Rosie's cafe, she'll nourish your soul
'Cuz she's a soul agent for the USA
She'll be here tomorrow
After she gets through t'day
Yeah
I know this girl who makes her dollars, one at a time
She folds them lay aways under her pantie line
She wears crushed purple velvet; she's swimmin' in my mind
She's doin' what she wants to get herself by
'Cuz she's a soul agent for the USA
She'll be here tomorrow
After she gets through t'day
'Cuz she's a soul agent for the USA
She'll be here tomorrow
After she gets through t'day
Yeah
Yours is the only soul you can know
And yours is the only road you can go
The finest people that you'll meet, yeah
Is just a man on the street
And there's a fellow I know
He moves like the shifting sands
He earns his daily bread
With his own two hands
And when the weight on your shoulders
Is wearing you down
Well he'll do his best to bring you around
'Cuz he's a soul agent for the USA
He'll be here tomorrow
After he gets through t'day
He's a soul agent for the USA
He'll be here tomorrow
After he gets through t'day

Walls To Climb lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
This hotel room is dark and dirty
And it's freezing cold
I came here to avoid the party
The party's kind of getting old
Nothing more than selfish reasons
I want to be alone
One more time about how I am feeling
I just might explode I might unload
'Cause I need my time it's not your time it's not their time
I got words to rhyme I've got the lines is it a crime
Hey I got walls to climb we've all got walls to climb
I can't lend my ear I don't want to hear
You cry for sympathy
I won't cut you slack so when I turn my back
You twist the knife in me
I don't care about your problems
Or anything that you do
Oh well I did my best I need a cigarette
And a whole lot less of you a whole lot less of you
Well I need my time it's not your time it's not their time
I got words to rhyme I've got the lines is it a crime
Hey I got walls to climb we've all got walls
Well I need my time it's not your time it's not their time
I got words to rhyme I've got the lines is it a crime
Hey I got walls to climb we've all got walls to climb
We all got walls to climb
And it's freezing cold
I came here to avoid the party
The party's kind of getting old
Nothing more than selfish reasons
I want to be alone
One more time about how I am feeling
I just might explode I might unload
'Cause I need my time it's not your time it's not their time
I got words to rhyme I've got the lines is it a crime
Hey I got walls to climb we've all got walls to climb
I can't lend my ear I don't want to hear
You cry for sympathy
I won't cut you slack so when I turn my back
You twist the knife in me
I don't care about your problems
Or anything that you do
Oh well I did my best I need a cigarette
And a whole lot less of you a whole lot less of you
Well I need my time it's not your time it's not their time
I got words to rhyme I've got the lines is it a crime
Hey I got walls to climb we've all got walls
Well I need my time it's not your time it's not their time
I got words to rhyme I've got the lines is it a crime
Hey I got walls to climb we've all got walls to climb
We all got walls to climb
The Years lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
My mother had a Mexican boyfriend
He stole a car once or twice before
He got busted at the Best Budget Inn
I found my way to the door
I couldn't take any more
Lived with my sister and her second husband
South of the river and on the grid
I went to work with my cousin
Just like the rest of us kids
I tried to keep it all hid
It seems so long ago
I swore I'd never let it show
But I kinda did
The years can slip away
When you're tryin' to get away
And I never did
I got tired of country livin'
And tryin' to make a new batch of friends
It's hard to give when there's no givin'
I stuck my thumb in the wind
Nothin' against my kin
I headed back to where I started
Pawned everything I could pawn
I guess I thought they'd be open hearted
They never knew I was gone
I just kept movin' along
I work the day and the nightlife
I drill the bars and I drill the ground
One for pay and one for the good times
One of ‘em still hangin' around
I put the other one down
It seems so long ago
I swore I'd never let it show
But I kinda did
The years can slip away
When you're tryin' to get away
And I finally did
He stole a car once or twice before
He got busted at the Best Budget Inn
I found my way to the door
I couldn't take any more
Lived with my sister and her second husband
South of the river and on the grid
I went to work with my cousin
Just like the rest of us kids
I tried to keep it all hid
It seems so long ago
I swore I'd never let it show
But I kinda did
The years can slip away
When you're tryin' to get away
And I never did
I got tired of country livin'
And tryin' to make a new batch of friends
It's hard to give when there's no givin'
I stuck my thumb in the wind
Nothin' against my kin
I headed back to where I started
Pawned everything I could pawn
I guess I thought they'd be open hearted
They never knew I was gone
I just kept movin' along
I work the day and the nightlife
I drill the bars and I drill the ground
One for pay and one for the good times
One of ‘em still hangin' around
I put the other one down
It seems so long ago
I swore I'd never let it show
But I kinda did
The years can slip away
When you're tryin' to get away
And I finally did
Jenny lyrics -Cross Canadian Ragweed
Jenny come back from California
She said her mother's doing fine
Jenny come back from California
With a sparkle in her eye
Early last June, she bought a round trip ticket
To San Francisco by the bay.
Trouble at home, she said she couldn't take it.
She needed time to get away.
Jenny come back from California.
With a brand new pair of shoes
Jenny come back from California
She come back without her blues
Well there's something about that ocean
that's got a romantic feeling
When you're standing by the shore
A little more time, a lot more healing
Maybe she'll love me once more
Jenny come back from California.
A little lighter when she steps.
Jenny come back from California
Full of life with no regrets
Never knew what she saw in San Francisco
Maybe moonlight by the sea
It can fall off in the water
Just as long as she comes back to me.
Jenny come back from California
With a brand new diamond ring
Jenny come back from California
She gathered up the rest of her things.
Jenny went back to California.
She said her mother's doing fine
Jenny come back from California
With a sparkle in her eye
Early last June, she bought a round trip ticket
To San Francisco by the bay.
Trouble at home, she said she couldn't take it.
She needed time to get away.
Jenny come back from California.
With a brand new pair of shoes
Jenny come back from California
She come back without her blues
Well there's something about that ocean
that's got a romantic feeling
When you're standing by the shore
A little more time, a lot more healing
Maybe she'll love me once more
Jenny come back from California.
A little lighter when she steps.
Jenny come back from California
Full of life with no regrets
Never knew what she saw in San Francisco
Maybe moonlight by the sea
It can fall off in the water
Just as long as she comes back to me.
Jenny come back from California
With a brand new diamond ring
Jenny come back from California
She gathered up the rest of her things.
Jenny went back to California.

NYCG lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
[Chorus:]
New York City girl
Born and raised in South Queens
She goes to work in taxi cabs
Comes back home in limousines
Well if you see her tell her I'm alright
I know the reason why she couldn't stay
My New York City girl
I wouldn't have it any other way
I guess I should've saw it comin'
She gave me every single warning
Instead I stumbled headlong into
Somewhere I'd never be return in'
She wouldn't let me hold her
She let her hair fall on her shoulder
And I didn't tell her one damn thing
A million others haven't told her
[Repeat Chorus]
I told her that I'd miss her
She wouldn't even let me kiss her
She just gathered up her things
Fixed her hair and took the money from the dresser
[Repeat Chorus]

Fightin' For lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Well it's late, and you know I've been up drinkin,
Talkin to myself up and down the hall.
Ain't it great, another fabulous disaster.
Well I can't wait, for the next hammer fall.
You may have won this battle baby,
But it don't mean I won't win the war.
And you, you don't even know what it is that you're fightin for.
Well it's early, I know you've been up waitin,
Waitin for me to finally call.
Talkin dirty, it ain't what you really wanted,
To slam another phone up against the wall.
You may have won this battle baby,
But it don't mean I won't win the war.
And you, you don't even know what it is that you're fightin for.
Well think about me when you're out there honey,
You know sometimes that I will.
Sometimes I feel like a broken stone rollin down your hill.
You may have won this battle baby,
But it don't mean I won't win the war.
And you, you don't even know what it is that you're fightin for.
Talkin to myself up and down the hall.
Ain't it great, another fabulous disaster.
Well I can't wait, for the next hammer fall.
You may have won this battle baby,
But it don't mean I won't win the war.
And you, you don't even know what it is that you're fightin for.
Well it's early, I know you've been up waitin,
Waitin for me to finally call.
Talkin dirty, it ain't what you really wanted,
To slam another phone up against the wall.
You may have won this battle baby,
But it don't mean I won't win the war.
And you, you don't even know what it is that you're fightin for.
Well think about me when you're out there honey,
You know sometimes that I will.
Sometimes I feel like a broken stone rollin down your hill.
You may have won this battle baby,
But it don't mean I won't win the war.
And you, you don't even know what it is that you're fightin for.
After All lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
When you think you're doing good
It all comes tumbling down
When you think you'e beat it all
It crashes to the ground
When you gonna come around
Maybe someday
Someday's never coming
If you wanna know the truth
Everybody else, they're gonna lie to you
I see you runnin'
With your back against the wall
Waitin' for your call
Hey, but after all, maybe someday
You say you're sorry
With teardrops in your eyes
It's only black or white
And never compromise
And never someday
And never someday
Judgement is the one thing
You could do without
Remember back to yesterday
When you knew without a doubt
It was gonna work out
Maybe someday
It wasn't that long ago
But those were different times
Back then it was under control
Now it's always on your mind
I think now's the time
And not someday
It all comes tumbling down
When you think you'e beat it all
It crashes to the ground
When you gonna come around
Maybe someday
Someday's never coming
If you wanna know the truth
Everybody else, they're gonna lie to you
I see you runnin'
With your back against the wall
Waitin' for your call
Hey, but after all, maybe someday
You say you're sorry
With teardrops in your eyes
It's only black or white
And never compromise
And never someday
And never someday
Judgement is the one thing
You could do without
Remember back to yesterday
When you knew without a doubt
It was gonna work out
Maybe someday
It wasn't that long ago
But those were different times
Back then it was under control
Now it's always on your mind
I think now's the time
And not someday
Dimebag lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Dimebag Daryll godbless that man
ripped from us by the devils hand
only thing in his plan was love and rock n' roll
cowboy from hell on a twisted trail
swept away where the wild winds wails
sad truth is you can never tell when its your time to go.
well, bad news travels faster
than any good new that you hear
just one more dark disaster
makes you wonder why we're here.
where were you in 94 when they found him
down there on the floor
guess he couldnt take no more
guess he needed a loaded gun
where did you sleep last night
with the angels locked up tight
love was his only life
did she have another one?
well, bad news travels faster
than any good new that you hear
just one more dark disaster
makes you wonder why we're here.

just one more dark disaster

Breakdown lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
I'd build a ladder to the moon
There I'd carve your name
If it would brighten up this room
But you know that anyway
I can't be the rock
Not today
Sometimes I wanna pop
Sometimes I wanna say
I'd like to breakdown, but I can't find the time
You're all lookin' to me
To keep it in line
I hope I can keep it in line
Sometimes I slow it down
To hear what I haven't heard
And when the darkness rolls around
I scream out the words
His picture's on my wall
He looks about my age
I wonder if he ever broke at all
I wonder if he ever had to say
I'd like to breakdown, but I can't find the time
They're all lookin' to me
To keep it in line
And I'm gonna keep it in line
It's gonna work itself out
It always does
At the last drop of doubt
Just like it never was
[repeat 2nd chorus]
Just like every single time
There I'd carve your name
If it would brighten up this room
But you know that anyway
I can't be the rock
Not today
Sometimes I wanna pop
Sometimes I wanna say
I'd like to breakdown, but I can't find the time
You're all lookin' to me
To keep it in line
I hope I can keep it in line
Sometimes I slow it down
To hear what I haven't heard
And when the darkness rolls around
I scream out the words
His picture's on my wall
He looks about my age
I wonder if he ever broke at all
I wonder if he ever had to say
I'd like to breakdown, but I can't find the time
They're all lookin' to me
To keep it in line
And I'm gonna keep it in line
It's gonna work itself out
It always does
At the last drop of doubt
Just like it never was
[repeat 2nd chorus]
Just like every single time
Sister lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
I use to get stoned on my sisters record collection
Gold and platinum on vinyl was the closest thing to perfection
Rock & roll, acoustic guitar
Not even comfortable with who you are
I'd blow the roof if I had a fast car
I changed my mind in my best friends El Camino
He blew my drums that summer night in El Reno
Turning up the STP, turning down the LSD
On a bottle of booze and the best of his cousins weed
What if I was the one that you warned me about
You were the one that needs to come around
We got together and we worked it out
No one would shut us down.
If it all dried up and blew away
With a handful of checks on a rainy day
Would you turn around or would you stay
Would it matter anyway
What if I decided to take the nation
I'd break the knob just so I could feel the frustration
Yeah, turn it up til you hit top speed
Yeah, its all that I'll ever need
When you bear your heart
You better be prepared to bleed
[Repeat Chorus]

When It All Goes Down lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
I'll proclaim you to the father
If you proclaim me to the people
My father said, "Church, it's in your heart, son"
You don't always need a steeple
A preacher's truths aren't always shown
If you follow a heart, make sure it's your own
One man's lifted up to Heaven
One man's cast into Hell
the first man's beliefs are the second man's prison
the second man's beliefs are the first man's jail
To be or not to be
Born to decide what will set you free
When it's said and done
Sit back and watch the show
When it all goes down
There ain't nobody knows
I got something on my mind
That I can't ignore
I gotta tell you the truth
The devil comes rappin at my back door
Sometimes I don't know what to do
I see the light and it starts to fade
It blinds my eyes as I turn away
The offer's on the table
The pen's in my hand
The devil thinks she's got a deal
Temptation road may be paved in gold
But the gravel one is better my friend
If you proclaim me to the people
My father said, "Church, it's in your heart, son"
You don't always need a steeple
A preacher's truths aren't always shown
If you follow a heart, make sure it's your own
One man's lifted up to Heaven
One man's cast into Hell
the first man's beliefs are the second man's prison
the second man's beliefs are the first man's jail
To be or not to be
Born to decide what will set you free
When it's said and done
Sit back and watch the show
When it all goes down
There ain't nobody knows
I got something on my mind
That I can't ignore
I gotta tell you the truth
The devil comes rappin at my back door
Sometimes I don't know what to do
I see the light and it starts to fade
It blinds my eyes as I turn away
The offer's on the table
The pen's in my hand
The devil thinks she's got a deal
Temptation road may be paved in gold
But the gravel one is better my friend
Final Curtain lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Atlantic City. I was busted
And the wind was bitter cold
Well, I never quite adjusted
Never do I suppose
The odds were in my favor
Of going home a millionaire
Got all the gold in California
She's with me everywhere
When the last rock crumbles
And the sun sinks in the sea
the last chain is broken
And everyone is free
When all is said and done
And now is used to be
When it's final curtain call
No ones left at all
There'll still be you and me
So much snow I can't remember
what it's like to see the ground
It all started in November
And now March is rollin around
Let it all fall down
Let it freeze me to the bone
Gonna let it all ride
I got nothin left to hide
Nothin left unshown
And the wind was bitter cold
Well, I never quite adjusted
Never do I suppose
The odds were in my favor
Of going home a millionaire
Got all the gold in California
She's with me everywhere
When the last rock crumbles
And the sun sinks in the sea
the last chain is broken
And everyone is free
When all is said and done
And now is used to be
When it's final curtain call
No ones left at all
There'll still be you and me
So much snow I can't remember
what it's like to see the ground
It all started in November
And now March is rollin around
Let it all fall down
Let it freeze me to the bone
Gonna let it all ride
I got nothin left to hide
Nothin left unshown
Late Last Night lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Could you try to keep it down I was up kinda late last night
Yeah, I'm feeling like I usually feel after I feel alright
I don't wanna hear another word about morning
I can't take the light
Could you try to keep it down I was up kinda late last night
there's something inside this world that's gone so wrong
There's a gap between the rich and the poor a million miles long
I dig the fact that you and your friends, you wanna stand up and make it right
Could you try to keep it down I was up kinda late last night
I was down at the bar like the fool I am
Dancin on the table to Son of Slam
I met a whole lotta people I still don't know
I just rolled in an hour ago
Could you try to keep it down
Try to keep it down
Try to keep it down I was up kinda late last night
I don't wanna hear about your Lollapaloza tour
Man, I just woke up and where I am I couldn't say for sure
I ain't the kinda guy to come and break all of you records
but then again i might
Could you try to keep it down I was up kinda late last night
Could you try to keep it down
try to keep it down
try to keep it down I was up kinda late last night
Yeah, I'm feeling like I usually feel after I feel alright
I don't wanna hear another word about morning
I can't take the light
Could you try to keep it down I was up kinda late last night
there's something inside this world that's gone so wrong
There's a gap between the rich and the poor a million miles long
I dig the fact that you and your friends, you wanna stand up and make it right
Could you try to keep it down I was up kinda late last night
I was down at the bar like the fool I am
Dancin on the table to Son of Slam
I met a whole lotta people I still don't know
I just rolled in an hour ago
Could you try to keep it down
Try to keep it down
Try to keep it down I was up kinda late last night
I don't wanna hear about your Lollapaloza tour
Man, I just woke up and where I am I couldn't say for sure
I ain't the kinda guy to come and break all of you records
but then again i might
Could you try to keep it down I was up kinda late last night
Could you try to keep it down
try to keep it down
try to keep it down I was up kinda late last night
SS #10 lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Some old story
Same old town
Same old me
same old hangin' around
Same old people
And the same old cars
same old lines
And the same old bars
If I were you I'd turn around and run
Cause you ain't done everything they want done
Doesn't matter what you do to survive
There's always something that will eat you alive
I've been down
To the basement floor
And I've been down, but I took one more
I've been down past the point of doubt
I've been down
I've been down and out
There's always people
Who'll put a smile on your face
There's always people
Make you feel out of place
There's always people
Make you feel right at home
There's always people
No matter where you roam
Same old town
Same old me
same old hangin' around
Same old people
And the same old cars
same old lines
And the same old bars
If I were you I'd turn around and run
Cause you ain't done everything they want done
Doesn't matter what you do to survive
There's always something that will eat you alive
I've been down
To the basement floor
And I've been down, but I took one more
I've been down past the point of doubt
I've been down
I've been down and out
There's always people
Who'll put a smile on your face
There's always people
Make you feel out of place
There's always people
Make you feel right at home
There's always people
No matter where you roam
Lighthouse Keeper lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
A long haired man came to my door
Wearing Roman sandals carrying a golden sword
He said "Come with me and I'll take you higher"
We soared out of the atmosphere
on his magic carpet that he let me steer
Said "take the reins and I'll let you fly her"
We escalated through a thick of clouds
And our only thought was not coming down
Towards the amber glow I started to feel the fire
There was a unicorn with a neon horn
wearing a velvet saddle that was slightly worn
I pulled my mystic rug right up beside her
I sat down on a floatin stool
She knelt her head and produced a jewel
And I smiled and asked if I could ride her
And I saw the lighthouse keeper
His hollow eyes that pierced my soul
He said that I'm just a desperate seeker
Searchin' for what I did not know
On Pegasus I was flying free
Careless lost over a purple sea
When I came upon this lonesome fortune teller
She gazed into her crystal ball
and I saw that giant gavel fall
She asked if I could be her pall bearer
And I heard that gypsy prophesy
Of the tearin flesh and the mother's cry
And the crimson flow of blood that would run forever
we stood before the kings and queens
And the hooded man with the guillotine
And prepared to meet the eternal tax collector
Then I dined there with an aristocrat on his balcony with a welcome mat
and he laughed and drank all the wine from the cellar
Wearing Roman sandals carrying a golden sword
He said "Come with me and I'll take you higher"
We soared out of the atmosphere
on his magic carpet that he let me steer
Said "take the reins and I'll let you fly her"
We escalated through a thick of clouds
And our only thought was not coming down
Towards the amber glow I started to feel the fire
There was a unicorn with a neon horn
wearing a velvet saddle that was slightly worn
I pulled my mystic rug right up beside her
I sat down on a floatin stool
She knelt her head and produced a jewel
And I smiled and asked if I could ride her
And I saw the lighthouse keeper
His hollow eyes that pierced my soul
He said that I'm just a desperate seeker
Searchin' for what I did not know
On Pegasus I was flying free
Careless lost over a purple sea
When I came upon this lonesome fortune teller
She gazed into her crystal ball
and I saw that giant gavel fall
She asked if I could be her pall bearer
And I heard that gypsy prophesy
Of the tearin flesh and the mother's cry
And the crimson flow of blood that would run forever
we stood before the kings and queens
And the hooded man with the guillotine
And prepared to meet the eternal tax collector
Then I dined there with an aristocrat on his balcony with a welcome mat
and he laughed and drank all the wine from the cellar
This Time Around lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
I used to be crazy, yeah, they called me a fool
Guess I wasn't myself back when I wanted you
Now you're comin round again, that same old look in your eye
yea Id have to be crazy to fall again
I'm gonna break these chains around my broken heart
You could have had it once, but you tore it all apart
I'm gonna throw your lyin eyes over my left shoulder
I'm not gonna let you wear your crown
This time around
I cant stay any longer
I gotta be on my way
Ive heard a thousand times
Everything that you gotta say
Show myself to the door
Ill turn out your light
Get back in my car
You'll be alone again tonight
I'm gonna break these chains around my broken heart
You could have had it once, but you tore it all apart
I'm gonna throw your lyin eyes over my left shoulder
I'm not gonna let you wear your crown
This time around
Never thought Id be so cold
What did you expect me to do
I cant put it all on hold
I learned it all from you
I'm gonna break these chains around my broken heart
You could have had it once, but you tore it all apart
I'm gonna throw your lyin eyes over my left shoulder
I'm not gonna let you wear your crown
This time around
Not this time around
Guess I wasn't myself back when I wanted you
Now you're comin round again, that same old look in your eye
yea Id have to be crazy to fall again
I'm gonna break these chains around my broken heart
You could have had it once, but you tore it all apart
I'm gonna throw your lyin eyes over my left shoulder
I'm not gonna let you wear your crown
This time around
I cant stay any longer
I gotta be on my way
Ive heard a thousand times

Who Do You Love lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire, I got a cobra snake for a necktie
A brand new house on the road side, and it's a-made out of rattlesnake hide
Got a band new chimney put on top, and it's a-made out of human skull
Come on take a little walk with me baby, and tell me who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Around the town I use a rattlesnake whip, take it easy baby don't you give me no lip
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
I've got a tombstone hand and a graveyard mind, I'm just twenty-two and I don't mind dying
Who do you love?
Yeah, who do you love?
Oh, who do you love?
Now Arlene took a-me by my hand, she said "Lonesome George you don't understand,
who do you love?"
The night were dark and the sky were blue, down the alleyway a house wagon flew
Hit a bump and somebody screamed, you should've heard what I'd seen
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Yeah, who do you love?
Oh, who do you love?
Yeah, I've got a tombstone hand in a graveyard mind, just twenty-two baby I don't mind dying
Snake skin shoes baby put them on your feet, got the goodtime music and the Bo Diddley beat
Yeah, who do you love?
Woah, who do you love?
I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire, I got a cobra snake for a necktie
A brand new house on the road side, and it's made out of rattlesnake hide
Got a band new chimney put on top, and it's made out of human skull
Come on take a little walk with me child, tell me who do you love?
Yeah, who do you love?
Woah, who do you love?
Who do you love?
Woah, who?
A brand new house on the road side, and it's a-made out of rattlesnake hide
Got a band new chimney put on top, and it's a-made out of human skull
Come on take a little walk with me baby, and tell me who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Around the town I use a rattlesnake whip, take it easy baby don't you give me no lip
Who do you love?

Bad Habit lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Smokin' cigarettes got a hold of me
Long about the summer of 1993
Rushin' in just like a fool
Used to be my golden rule
Long before I graduated school
But the one that got to me
Knocked me damn near off my feet
Came up like a southern breeze
Knocked me to my knees
[Chorus]
My only bad habit comes with lovin' you
But I don't think about you as much as you want me to
And if it gives me cancer, and if it gives me shakes
It's one of my habits, baby, I ain't gonna break
No surgeon general's gonna tell me what to do
My only bad habit, baby, comes with lovin' you
I had bout with Mary Jane
She damn near drove me insane
To the point that she had to hit the road
Wild Turkey slightly chilled
Cocaine and prescription pills
Soon enough that starts gettin' old
The promise that I make to you
Is you won't ever not feel new
You're the one that gets to me
Drop me to my knees
[Repeat Chorus]
And if it gives me cancer
If it gives me shakes
It's one of my habits, baby, that I ain't gonna break
No surgeon general's gonna tell me what to do
My only bad habit, baby, comes with lovin' you
My only bad habit, baby, comes with lovin' you
Long about the summer of 1993
Rushin' in just like a fool
Used to be my golden rule
Long before I graduated school
But the one that got to me
Knocked me damn near off my feet
Came up like a southern breeze
Knocked me to my knees
[Chorus]
My only bad habit comes with lovin' you
But I don't think about you as much as you want me to
And if it gives me cancer, and if it gives me shakes
It's one of my habits, baby, I ain't gonna break

Blues For You lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Well I miss you baby
I gotta get back home to you
Well I miss you baby
I gotta get back home to you
Ive seen a million women
Only one of them will do
Well I'm east of somewhere
You know what I mean
Well I'm west of nowhere
And all points in between
Up or down
North or south
Right or wrong
I'm inside out
Gotta get back
I know you're cryin
Cryin for your man
Baby, I'm tryin
Tryin hard to understand
Another turn, the rubber burns
No one else is my concern
I gotta get back
Well I miss you baby
I gotta get back home to you
Well I miss you baby
I gotta get back home to you
Ive seen a million women
Only one of them will do
I gotta get back home to you
Well I miss you baby
I gotta get back home to you
Ive seen a million women
Only one of them will do
Well I'm east of somewhere
You know what I mean
Well I'm west of nowhere
And all points in between
Up or down
North or south
Right or wrong
I'm inside out
Gotta get back
I know you're cryin
Cryin for your man
Baby, I'm tryin
Tryin hard to understand
Another turn, the rubber burns
No one else is my concern
I gotta get back
Well I miss you baby
I gotta get back home to you
Well I miss you baby
I gotta get back home to you
Ive seen a million women
Only one of them will do
Lonely Feeling lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
It's a long stretch of highway
Midnight, in New Mexico
It's a small, colored light
That shines from your car radio
It's the old motel owner
Who sleeps on a cot
Gives you the very last hit from her pot
It's a lonely feeling
Is what you got
It's a lonely feeling
Like it or not
It's a crack in the sidewalk
Right next to a pay telephone
It's someone's recorder
When you're hoping that someone is home
It's an out to kill
Do what you please
Nobody's up
But you shoot the breeze
It's a lonely feeling
That's like a disease
It's a lonely feeling
You pray that it leaves
It's your best friend from high school
Sees you and wishes you well
Yeah you try to break through
But you run outta stories to tell
So you bid'em goodbye
And you step into space
So many questions
You could not face
It's a lonely feeling
Takin its place
It's a lonely feeling
That you just can't erase
It's three men from Chile
Who are tired
And they wanna go home
They're run out of money
And stuck up in east Oregon
So you give'em a smoke
A bit of change from your hand
Try to speak Spanish
But they don't understand
It's a lonely feeling
That gets to a man
It's a lonely feeling
That runs through the land
It's a statue of Jesus
That your grandmother had when she died
It's all cracked and all yellow
You know you should throw it aside
But you grow more religious
The older you get
Haven't been saved
But it could happen yet
It's a lonely feeling
Full of regret
It's a lonely feeling
That won't let you forget
It's a bus stop,
A street cop,
An old dog,
A new kid,
A bum
It's a frightened,
Rejected,
Neglected,
Blind, deaf, and dumb
Yeah but you look in the mirror
And you're still hanging in
It's there to remind you
How lucky you been
It's a lonely feeling
Now and again
It's a lonely feeling
That comes from within
Midnight, in New Mexico
It's a small, colored light
That shines from your car radio
It's the old motel owner
Who sleeps on a cot
Gives you the very last hit from her pot
It's a lonely feeling
Is what you got
It's a lonely feeling
Like it or not
It's a crack in the sidewalk
Right next to a pay telephone
It's someone's recorder
When you're hoping that someone is home
It's an out to kill
Do what you please
Nobody's up
But you shoot the breeze
It's a lonely feeling
That's like a disease
It's a lonely feeling
You pray that it leaves
It's your best friend from high school
Sees you and wishes you well
Yeah you try to break through
But you run outta stories to tell
So you bid'em goodbye
And you step into space
So many questions
You could not face
It's a lonely feeling
Takin its place
It's a lonely feeling
That you just can't erase
It's three men from Chile
Who are tired
And they wanna go home
They're run out of money
And stuck up in east Oregon
So you give'em a smoke
A bit of change from your hand
Try to speak Spanish
But they don't understand
It's a lonely feeling
That gets to a man
It's a lonely feeling
That runs through the land
It's a statue of Jesus
That your grandmother had when she died
It's all cracked and all yellow
You know you should throw it aside
But you grow more religious
The older you get
Haven't been saved
But it could happen yet
It's a lonely feeling
Full of regret
It's a lonely feeling
That won't let you forget
It's a bus stop,
A street cop,
An old dog,
A new kid,
A bum
It's a frightened,
Rejected,
Neglected,
Blind, deaf, and dumb
Yeah but you look in the mirror
And you're still hanging in
It's there to remind you
How lucky you been
It's a lonely feeling
Now and again
It's a lonely feeling
That comes from within
Number lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
I got a number in my pocket
Keep it in my wallet, right on my hip
When my paycheck's steady, I'm damn good and ready
I toll it up to my lip, and I go to the moon
I got my foot down on the throttle
Hands around the bottle, I think my speakers are blown
No rubber on my tire, I'm a gettin' higher
Higher than I've ever Known
And I ain't coming down
I can't remember the last time I touched the ground
You look at me like I'm gonna let you down
Hey, every time I come around
You got your finger on my button
Actin like it's nothing, bitchin' from your golden throne
You ain't no anybody, actin' high and mighty
Waitin' for me to explode, fire in the hole
Look out, down below, here I go
You're wasting time, why bother even coming 'round
If you know I'm gonna let you down
Keep it in my wallet, right on my hip
When my paycheck's steady, I'm damn good and ready
I toll it up to my lip, and I go to the moon
I got my foot down on the throttle
Hands around the bottle, I think my speakers are blown
No rubber on my tire, I'm a gettin' higher
Higher than I've ever Known
And I ain't coming down
I can't remember the last time I touched the ground
You look at me like I'm gonna let you down
Hey, every time I come around
You got your finger on my button
Actin like it's nothing, bitchin' from your golden throne
You ain't no anybody, actin' high and mighty
Waitin' for me to explode, fire in the hole
Look out, down below, here I go
You're wasting time, why bother even coming 'round
If you know I'm gonna let you down
Again lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
On the floor now, on the floor now
It's started again, it's started again
Close the door now, close the door now
Won't you let me in, won't you let me in
[Chorus:]
It's been six long days, and I'm on my way
Will I ever see the end, gotta heavy load
Down a dead end road, and I can't sleep again
I can't sleep again
Hold the phone now, hold the phone now
You're calling again, won't ya call again
Say my name girl, SAY MY NAME girl
You know it's a sin, even though it's a sin
[Chorus]
I gotta roll on, gotta roll on
Gonna leave you alone girl not for long
[Chorus]
It's started again, it's started again
Close the door now, close the door now
Won't you let me in, won't you let me in
[Chorus:]
It's been six long days, and I'm on my way
Will I ever see the end, gotta heavy load
Down a dead end road, and I can't sleep again
I can't sleep again
Hold the phone now, hold the phone now
You're calling again, won't ya call again
Say my name girl, SAY MY NAME girl
You know it's a sin, even though it's a sin
[Chorus]
I gotta roll on, gotta roll on
Gonna leave you alone girl not for long
[Chorus]
Lonely Girl lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Sittin' there with your hair all in your face
Tears are fallin' like they're in a race
You look down, you look around, then you look up again
You get the feeling you can never win
[Chorus:]
Tell me your trouble lonely girl
What have you gotten in
You're confused in your own world
You just want the day to go away
So you can start it all over again
Life ain't easy, I'm telling you what everybody said
Yeah, they beat that horse until it's dead
Open your window, open your heart, open your eyes to see
Everything around you girl, it's meant to be
[Chorus]
Tears are fallin' like they're in a race
You look down, you look around, then you look up again
You get the feeling you can never win
[Chorus:]
Tell me your trouble lonely girl
What have you gotten in
You're confused in your own world
You just want the day to go away
So you can start it all over again
Life ain't easy, I'm telling you what everybody said
Yeah, they beat that horse until it's dead
Open your window, open your heart, open your eyes to see
Everything around you girl, it's meant to be
[Chorus]
Cold Hearted Woman lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
She's got a smile a million miles long
Got a trail of cryin' and leavin' songs
You don't know and you don't care
You're completely unaware
Sometimes I wanna rip out your heart
And see if something's there
[Chorus:]
Cold hearted woman
You're bringing me down in flames
Runnin' around all over town
Runnin' down my name
Gonna get me a loaded pistol
Wait, was that out loud?
Cold hearted woman
I'm gonna put you in the ground
When the money comes rollin'
I can do no wrong
When the river stops flowin'
She's burnin' up the telephone
And by the time that I find you
Yeah my money' all down the drain
Burnt it up on cheap motels
And 8 balls of cocaine
[Chorus]
Cold hearted woman
What goes around comes around
Got a trail of cryin' and leavin' songs
You don't know and you don't care
You're completely unaware
Sometimes I wanna rip out your heart
And see if something's there
[Chorus:]
Cold hearted woman
You're bringing me down in flames
Runnin' around all over town
Runnin' down my name
Gonna get me a loaded pistol
Wait, was that out loud?
Cold hearted woman
I'm gonna put you in the ground
When the money comes rollin'
I can do no wrong
When the river stops flowin'
She's burnin' up the telephone
And by the time that I find you
Yeah my money' all down the drain
Burnt it up on cheap motels
And 8 balls of cocaine
[Chorus]
Cold hearted woman
What goes around comes around
Sick And Tired lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed (feat. Lee Ann Womack)
Got your bag on your shoulder,
Never thought once about thinkin' it over.
Feel like you're the only one,
Who's ever been in a bad situation.
Now you need to take yourself a love vacation,
'Cause after all, what's done is done.
Sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Everything around you's growin' old.
The days drag on, the nights last forever,
Every day's tougher just to keep it together.
Forget everything you've ever known,
Except for home.
He made a promise he couldn't keep.
I bet he's not losing a bit of sleep,
Over how you're getting down the line.
Now don't you fret, now don't you worry,
Don't get in too much of a hurry,
'Cause up ahead's that city limit sign.
Sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Everything around you's growin' old.
The days drag on, the nights last forever,
Every day's tougher just to keep it together.
Forget everything you've ever known,
Except for home.
Home is where the heart is:
That's what somebody once said. (Yeah.)
I think your heart is where your love is:
All the rest baby, the rest it's all in your head.
Well, memories, they're over-rated:
All they do is get you down an' frustrated,
And who needs that on their back?
Starting over, cold turkey,
Washin' your soul of everything that's dirty.
Seal your heart of every crack.
You're no longer sick and tired.
Everything around you feels brand new.
Yeah. the days fly by, the nights could be longer:
Every day you're just a little bit stronger,
Now that you've spread your wings and flown,
Back to home.
Back to home.
Back to home. (Home.)
Yeah, back to home.
(Back to home.)
Never thought once about thinkin' it over.
Feel like you're the only one,
Who's ever been in a bad situation.
Now you need to take yourself a love vacation,
'Cause after all, what's done is done.
Sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Everything around you's growin' old.
The days drag on, the nights last forever,
Every day's tougher just to keep it together.
Forget everything you've ever known,
Except for home.
He made a promise he couldn't keep.
I bet he's not losing a bit of sleep,
Over how you're getting down the line.
Now don't you fret, now don't you worry,
Don't get in too much of a hurry,
'Cause up ahead's that city limit sign.
Sick and tired of being sick and tired.
Everything around you's growin' old.
The days drag on, the nights last forever,
Every day's tougher just to keep it together.
Forget everything you've ever known,
Except for home.

Back to home.
Back to home.
Back to home. (Home.)
Yeah, back to home.
(Back to home.)
Hammer Down lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
You got your fingers runnin' through my hair.
I got my stereo loud.
You're barefoot dancing in your underwear
I bet your daddy'd be proud.
But he ain't no where around
He said he's never gonna change his mind
Man, won't you leave her alone
I bet one day he's gonna eat his pride
Choking on the bone
When I'm on the Rolling Stone
Yeah, I'm on the Rolling Stone
[Chorus:]
Hey baby, take a run with me, smell that rubber burn
You think your life, it is a tragedy, feel my motor hum
You think you're headed down a one way track
The only color in your future's black
You wanna leave and never come back around
I'll put that hammer down
Tell me what you gotta lose
You ain't got nothing at all
You ain't got nothing that you gotta prove
You ain't against the wall
You're just fed up with it all
You're fed up with it all
[Repeat Chorus]
I got my stereo loud.
You're barefoot dancing in your underwear
I bet your daddy'd be proud.
But he ain't no where around
He said he's never gonna change his mind
Man, won't you leave her alone
I bet one day he's gonna eat his pride
Choking on the bone
When I'm on the Rolling Stone
Yeah, I'm on the Rolling Stone
[Chorus:]
Hey baby, take a run with me, smell that rubber burn
You think your life, it is a tragedy, feel my motor hum
You think you're headed down a one way track
The only color in your future's black
You wanna leave and never come back around
I'll put that hammer down
Tell me what you gotta lose
You ain't got nothing at all
You ain't got nothing that you gotta prove
You ain't against the wall
You're just fed up with it all
You're fed up with it all
[Repeat Chorus]
Flowers lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
You bring me sunshine

I bring you flowers
It brings you around
[Chorus:]
I know that I
Am hard to live with
Try to live with
Out me girl
i Drive you crazy,you drive me mad

You know it gets to me
Then we roll back
All the covers
We're gonna roll through
Eternity

Just ask your dad

On your shoulders
You roll your eyes
You know it gets to me
Then we roll back
All the covers
We're gonna roll through
Eternity
[Repeat Chorus]
Yeah we're the best thing
Just ask your dad
Leave Me Alone lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Been a lot of word floatin' round
'Bout what I do with my life
People talk but I don't hear a sound, fabricated lies
You think you got me all figured out, you couldn't even try
Talking smack behind my back, can't look me in the eye
[Chorus:]
Cast your stone, dig your bones
Tuck your tail and head for home
Leave me alone
Your eyes, they're quicker than your tongue
You think that I don't know
They cut through me like the blazin' sun
You got no cards to show
They stare me down from across the room
You think my ears, they burn
You'll feel the heat from my fire soon
Hey stand in line, wait your turn
[Repeat Chorus]
Hey, grab your shovel, boy, keep on digging
You'll find that nowhere's what you're getting
[Repeat Chorus]
'Bout what I do with my life
People talk but I don't hear a sound, fabricated lies
You think you got me all figured out, you couldn't even try
Talking smack behind my back, can't look me in the eye
[Chorus:]
Cast your stone, dig your bones
Tuck your tail and head for home
Leave me alone
Your eyes, they're quicker than your tongue
You think that I don't know
They cut through me like the blazin' sun
You got no cards to show
They stare me down from across the room
You think my ears, they burn
You'll feel the heat from my fire soon
Hey stand in line, wait your turn
[Repeat Chorus]
Hey, grab your shovel, boy, keep on digging
You'll find that nowhere's what you're getting
[Repeat Chorus]
Down lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Got one foot in front of the other
Got the wind at my back
Got the bluebird of happiness on my shoulder
Along with everything I could pack
Won't get me down
Won't get me down
Dig a hole, put me in the ground
Won't get me down
This old guitar done some livin'
And it's made a livin' for me
Well it's seen its share of barfights
And it's sat in the corner cryin' for me
Won't get it down
Won't get it down
If it never made another sound
Won't get it down
Wears my ring on her finger
We swore we'd always be true
There's no doubt I'd love to linger
Long after this whole world is through
Won't get us down
Won't get us down
Slander us all over town
Won't get us down
There's a man they call Jesus
And he did alot for me
Everything we do he sees us
Yeah he walks through eternity
Won't get him down
Won't get him down
Crucified with a thorny crown
Won't get him down
Won't get him down
Won't get him down
Someday he'll be back around
Won't get him down
Got the wind at my back
Got the bluebird of happiness on my shoulder
Along with everything I could pack
Won't get me down
Won't get me down
Dig a hole, put me in the ground
Won't get me down
This old guitar done some livin'
And it's made a livin' for me
Well it's seen its share of barfights
And it's sat in the corner cryin' for me
Won't get it down
Won't get it down
If it never made another sound
Won't get it down
Wears my ring on her finger
We swore we'd always be true
There's no doubt I'd love to linger
Long after this whole world is through
Won't get us down
Won't get us down
Slander us all over town
Won't get us down
There's a man they call Jesus
And he did alot for me
Everything we do he sees us
Yeah he walks through eternity
Won't get him down
Won't get him down
Crucified with a thorny crown
Won't get him down
Won't get him down
Won't get him down
Someday he'll be back around
Won't get him down
Wanna Rock & Roll lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Last night I went down to the railroad tracks
To watch that train roll by
99 cars screaming into the dark
I heard the lonesome whistle cry
With her name on my arm and the rain coming down
I kissed her like it was the first time
I took her down to the railroad tracks, and her red,red lips touched mine
[Chorus:]
She said,"I wanna rock and roll
Wanna hoochie coo
Shake that thing
Baby, love me too"
The woman's got a walk to make a man cry, throw back his head and howl
Ruby red lips, liquid hips, more than the law will allow
If I told her once, I told her twice
I must of told her a thousand times
I got a red hot mind and a cold black heart
I am the jealous kind
The woman just laughed and said, "Sweet Daddy
You know you are the only one
You're my smooth lover boy, my heartache and joy
Com on let's have some fun."
[Repeat Chorus]
It was early last night, I went downtown
To a place called Johnny's Last Stand
Through the blues and the smoke
I saw her on the dance floor
She's with another man
The dead man's name was Louie Dupree
I pushed the little button on my knife
I walked up and said, "Hello boys and girls
Have you enjoyed your life?"
[Second Chorus:]
It's time to rock and roll
Wanna hoochie coo
Shake that thing
Baby, love me too
Last night I went down to the railroad tracks
To watch that train roll by
99 cars screaming into the dark
I heard the lonesome whistle cry
With her name on my arm and the rain coming down
I kissed her for the very last time
I took her down to the railroad track and her dead, red lips touched mine
[Third Chorus:]
I wanna rock and roll
Wanna hoochie coo
Shake that thing
Baby, love me too
Rock and roll
Hoochie coo
Shake that thing
Baby, love me too
To watch that train roll by
99 cars screaming into the dark
I heard the lonesome whistle cry
With her name on my arm and the rain coming down
I kissed her like it was the first time
I took her down to the railroad tracks, and her red,red lips touched mine
[Chorus:]
She said,"I wanna rock and roll
Wanna hoochie coo

Alabama (New Version) lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
She picked up the telephone
All she heard was dial tone
She really thought she heard it ring this time
She said what am I thinking I must be only dreaming
Or maybe it's the hundred times he's crossed my mind
Just tonight
[Chorus]
She said maybe I miss your lovin'
Maybe I miss your kiss just a little bit
Maybe I miss your body lyin' right next to mine
Maybe I miss your touch a little too much
Tossing and turning her skins still burning
From the fire in his hands
Runnin' on empty she needs somebody
But somebody wouldn't understand
Then the telephone rings
[Chorus]
They talked about Savannah
Sweet home Alabama
And how he missed the way she always smiled
Are you coming back soon
By the Harvest moon
If I have to walk every mile on my knees
[Chorus]
All she heard was dial tone
She really thought she heard it ring this time
She said what am I thinking I must be only dreaming
Or maybe it's the hundred times he's crossed my mind
Just tonight
[Chorus]
She said maybe I miss your lovin'
Maybe I miss your kiss just a little bit
Maybe I miss your body lyin' right next to mine
Maybe I miss your touch a little too much
Tossing and turning her skins still burning
From the fire in his hands
Runnin' on empty she needs somebody
But somebody wouldn't understand
Then the telephone rings
[Chorus]
They talked about Savannah
Sweet home Alabama
And how he missed the way she always smiled
Are you coming back soon
By the Harvest moon
If I have to walk every mile on my knees
[Chorus]
Pay lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
My dad, he had a friend, lowdown till the end
Everything he did, it came out wrong
No matter how hard he tried
He never cheated, he never lied
Had a shotgun in his hand when he died
[Chorus]
Everybody's got their own way, tomorrow's another day
Make of it what you will, as you're climbing up that hill
Always be prepared to pay
I know a man, a guitar in his hand
Taught me things I never thought I'd know
But the pills and the crystal meth took him to his death
All he ever wanted was a song and a sing along
[Second Chorus]
Everybody's got their way, tomorrow's another day
Make of it what you will, don't forget to get your thrills
Always be prepared to pay
Don't forget where you're from, stick to your guns
Always be good to your fellow man
Bow your head and pray, every single day
Life don't always turn out like you plan
[Repeat first chorus]
Everything he did, it came out wrong
No matter how hard he tried
He never cheated, he never lied
Had a shotgun in his hand when he died
[Chorus]
Everybody's got their own way, tomorrow's another day
Make of it what you will, as you're climbing up that hill
Always be prepared to pay
I know a man, a guitar in his hand
Taught me things I never thought I'd know
But the pills and the crystal meth took him to his death
All he ever wanted was a song and a sing along
[Second Chorus]
Everybody's got their way, tomorrow's another day
Make of it what you will, don't forget to get your thrills
Always be prepared to pay
Don't forget where you're from, stick to your guns
Always be good to your fellow man
Bow your head and pray, every single day
Life don't always turn out like you plan
[Repeat first chorus]
Too Far Gone lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Good mornin' California
How long has it been?
I know your sky could help me fly
Out of this shape I'm in
I polished off another bottle
Some old cheap red wine
I'll turn it all back into water for you baby
Just to hold you one more time
Too far gone
Too far gone
Been so long since I've been back home
I'm too far gone
Hey baby what you wearin'?
Damn that sure sounds fine
I know I just catch myself starin'
Staring 'til I went blind
'Cause you treat me like I'm your someone
Even when no one's around
I'd drop everything I was holdin'
To pick up what you're puttin' down
Too far gone
Too far gone
I can't explain, it would take too long
I'm too far gone
I know it's been crazy
I know what you're going through
Let me tell you sweet baby
That I'll walk right through with you
You're always there besides me
Whether I'm right or wrong
I know in here without you here
I'm too far gone
Too far gone
Too far gone
'Til I sing a brand new song
I'm too far gone
Too far gone
Too far gone
I know I could go on and on
I'm too far gone
How long has it been?
I know your sky could help me fly
Out of this shape I'm in
I polished off another bottle
Some old cheap red wine
I'll turn it all back into water for you baby
Just to hold you one more time
Too far gone
Too far gone
Been so long since I've been back home
I'm too far gone
Hey baby what you wearin'?
Damn that sure sounds fine
I know I just catch myself starin'
Staring 'til I went blind
'Cause you treat me like I'm your someone
Even when no one's around
I'd drop everything I was holdin'
To pick up what you're puttin' down
Too far gone
Too far gone
I can't explain, it would take too long
I'm too far gone
I know it's been crazy
I know what you're going through
Let me tell you sweet baby
That I'll walk right through with you
You're always there besides me
Whether I'm right or wrong
I know in here without you here
I'm too far gone
Too far gone
Too far gone
'Til I sing a brand new song
I'm too far gone
Too far gone
Too far gone
I know I could go on and on
I'm too far gone
Stranglehold lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
(originally by Ted Nugent)
Here I come again, now, baby
Like a dog in heat
You tell it's me by the clamor, now, baby
I'll tear up the street,
Well, I been smokin' for so long,
You know I'm here to stay
I got you in a stranglehold, baby
You best get outta the way
The road I cruise is a bitch, now, baby
You know you can't turn me 'round
And if a house gets in my way, baby
Ya know I'll burn it down
You ran the night that you left me,
You put me in my place
I got you in a stranglehold, baby
I'm gonna crush your face
Sometimes you wanna get higher
Sometimes you gotta start low
Some people think they gonna die someday
I got news, ya never got to go
C'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon up
C'mon, c'mon up
C'mon, c'mon up
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, baby
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon up
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, baby
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
The road I cruise is a bitch, now
Ya know ya can't turn me 'round
And if a house gets in my way
You know I'll burn it down
You ran the night that you left me,
You put me in my place
I got you in a stranglehold, baby
I'm gonna crush your face
Here I come again, now, baby
Like a dog in heat
You tell it's me by the clamor, now, baby
I'll tear up the street,
Well, I been smokin' for so long,
You know I'm here to stay
I got you in a stranglehold, baby
You best get outta the way
The road I cruise is a bitch, now, baby
You know you can't turn me 'round
And if a house gets in my way, baby
Ya know I'll burn it down
You ran the night that you left me,
You put me in my place
I got you in a stranglehold, baby
I'm gonna crush your face
Sometimes you wanna get higher
Sometimes you gotta start low
Some people think they gonna die someday
I got news, ya never got to go
C'mon, c'mon
C'mon, c'mon up
C'mon, c'mon up
C'mon, c'mon up
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, baby
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon up
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon, baby
C'mon, c'mon, c'mon
The road I cruise is a bitch, now
Ya know ya can't turn me 'round
And if a house gets in my way
You know I'll burn it down
You ran the night that you left me,
You put me in my place
I got you in a stranglehold, baby
I'm gonna crush your face
Anywhere But Here lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Hometown in my rearview
This truck ain't got enough gas
It ain't got enough gas to get me fast
Far away from you
Paid my dues in other towns
Here I just blow a fuse
Nothin' I can do that'll change you
I won't change my tune
Anywhere but here, anywhere but here
Rob a little money from the cashier
Anywhere but here
I spent a little time in Nashville
In the back of a limousine
They kissed my ass and they shook my hand
Turned their back on me
I gotta book of matches and a bottle of kerosene
Toss 'em a Molotov cocktail
Maybe that'll change their scene
Anywhere but here, anywhere but here
Gather round friends lend me your ears
Anywhere but here
Gonna get me a rocket ship
Aim it towards that sun
Throw me in and strap me down
5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1
Anywhere but here, anywhere but here
Shoot me through the atmosphere
Anywhere but here
Anywhere but here, anywhere but here
Blow me through the ionosphere
Anywhere but here
This truck ain't got enough gas
It ain't got enough gas to get me fast
Far away from you
Paid my dues in other towns
Here I just blow a fuse
Nothin' I can do that'll change you
I won't change my tune
Anywhere but here, anywhere but here
Rob a little money from the cashier
Anywhere but here
I spent a little time in Nashville
In the back of a limousine
They kissed my ass and they shook my hand
Turned their back on me
I gotta book of matches and a bottle of kerosene
Toss 'em a Molotov cocktail
Maybe that'll change their scene
Anywhere but here, anywhere but here
Gather round friends lend me your ears
Anywhere but here
Gonna get me a rocket ship
Aim it towards that sun
Throw me in and strap me down
5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1
Anywhere but here, anywhere but here
Shoot me through the atmosphere
Anywhere but here
Anywhere but here, anywhere but here
Blow me through the ionosphere
Anywhere but here
17 lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Sirens wail and a flashin' light.
Nothing better to do on a Tuesday night,
But give me hell.
Where you headed, what are you out for?
We don't see much of you 'round here anymore.
I guess it's just as well.
Well once upon a time you had it all,
You let everybody down.
You're always seventeen in your hometown.
Running from your folks, running from the law.
Running from love, running from your fears, running from it all.
You keep on running boy,
You run yourself in the ground.
You're always seventeen in your hometown.
Her porch swing still looks the same.
She probably won't even remember my name,
Just like she didn't back then.
Is she married, is she doing fine,
Does she know about all the nights I lay awake crying
just to know her hand?
The door opens and I run away, just like the same 'ole clown.
You're always seventeen in your hometown.
Running from your folks, running from the law.
Running from love, running from your fears, running from it all
You keep on running boy,
You run yourself in the ground.
You're always seventeen in your hometown.
Well nobody is gonna miss me
No tears will fall, no one's gonna weep
When I hit that road.
My boots are broken, my brain is sore
From keeping up with their little world,
I got a heavy load.
Gonna leave 'em on just like before, I'm big city bound.
You're always seventeen in your hometown.
Running from your folks, running from the law.
Running from love, running from your fears, running from it all.
You keep on running boy,
You run yourself in the ground.
You're always seventeen
Yeah, you're always seventeen
You're always seventeen in your hometown.
Nothing better to do on a Tuesday night,
But give me hell.
Where you headed, what are you out for?
We don't see much of you 'round here anymore.
I guess it's just as well.
Well once upon a time you had it all,
You let everybody down.
You're always seventeen in your hometown.
Running from your folks, running from the law.
Running from love, running from your fears, running from it all.
You keep on running boy,
You run yourself in the ground.
You're always seventeen in your hometown.
Her porch swing still looks the same.
She probably won't even remember my name,
Just like she didn't back then.
Is she married, is she doing fine,
Does she know about all the nights I lay awake crying
just to know her hand?
The door opens and I run away, just like the same 'ole clown.
You're always seventeen in your hometown.
Running from your folks, running from the law.
Running from love, running from your fears, running from it all
You keep on running boy,
You run yourself in the ground.
You're always seventeen in your hometown.
Well nobody is gonna miss me
No tears will fall, no one's gonna weep
When I hit that road.
My boots are broken, my brain is sore
From keeping up with their little world,
I got a heavy load.
Gonna leave 'em on just like before, I'm big city bound.
You're always seventeen in your hometown.
Running from your folks, running from the law.
Running from love, running from your fears, running from it all.
You keep on running boy,
You run yourself in the ground.
You're always seventeen
Yeah, you're always seventeen
You're always seventeen in your hometown.
Brooklyn Kid lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Well I gotta friend that lives south of town
Loves to sit and burn one down
Spin some vinyl on his stereo
Every now and then he speaks of war
One tour of duty on a foreign shore
Fightin' for his way home
Fightin' for his way home
Returnin' home to his native land
Left New York for Texas man
Quieter times were in his cards
He met a girl she met a man
Dropped to his knees and he took her hand
A simple life ain't that hard
No, a simple life ain't all that hard
A new generation on the ground
Nothin' in the world could bring him down
Flyin' like he had wings
Several years came and went
Not one of them was poorly spent
A good man's life he was chiselin'
Yeah, a good man's life he was chiselin'
Reflecting on the Viet-Cong
Uncle John's Band and a Dylan song
Smellin' like it's supper time
You know it brought a tear to his eye
The day that Jerry Garcia died
He said he was the genius of his time
Yeah, A Friend of the Devil is a Friend of Mine
Don't try to find it
Make the time
A couple of joints and a bottle of wine
You'll be glad that you did
With the Grateful Dead spinnin' round
Kick your feet back and be astound
By the life of the Brooklyn kid
Loves to sit and burn one down
Spin some vinyl on his stereo
Every now and then he speaks of war
One tour of duty on a foreign shore
Fightin' for his way home
Fightin' for his way home
Returnin' home to his native land
Left New York for Texas man
Quieter times were in his cards
He met a girl she met a man
Dropped to his knees and he took her hand
A simple life ain't that hard
No, a simple life ain't all that hard
A new generation on the ground
Nothin' in the world could bring him down
Flyin' like he had wings
Several years came and went
Not one of them was poorly spent
A good man's life he was chiselin'
Yeah, a good man's life he was chiselin'
Reflecting on the Viet-Cong
Uncle John's Band and a Dylan song
Smellin' like it's supper time
You know it brought a tear to his eye
The day that Jerry Garcia died
He said he was the genius of his time
Yeah, A Friend of the Devil is a Friend of Mine
Don't try to find it

A couple of joints and a bottle of wine
You'll be glad that you did
With the Grateful Dead spinnin' round
Kick your feet back and be astound
By the life of the Brooklyn kid
Don't Need You lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
I gotta mind to go back to that drawin' board
Maybe we should start it all over again
When you were you and I was me
And we weren't both bored
Or pack it up
And call it off as friends
Look at you
High on your pedestal
Getting' off on looking down on me
Our situation's gone from bad to critical
And I think it's time one of us started movin' our feet
[Chorus:]
I don't need you criticizing me
I don't need you walkin' all over me
I don't need you always tellin' me what to do
And I don't need you
Neither one of us is better than the other
You got that thought rollin' through your brain
You hate me - sometimes I see double
Now the other side of me can't be contained
[Repeat Chorus]
The truth be known
I could smoke you where you're standin'
But what kind of good would be done then
Rip off my gloves and do it bare handed
But then again, I'd feel better in the end
[Repeat Chorus]
[Repeat Chorus]
Maybe we should start it all over again

Walls Of Huntsville lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Yeah she always had me
Guess she always will
One day she betrayed me
Now I'm rottin' in this cell
Countin' down the days with this chalk and stone
Wishin' that that woman wouldn't went and done me wrong
Had a face just like an angel
A soul just like a beast
She pulled me in and loved me
She tore me piece by piece
Yeah, she had it comin'
I bet you'd do the same
Now the walls of Huntsville keep me under lock and chain
Had an eye for things a shinin'
My pockets were not deep
She went out a prowlin'
Lookin' for some fresher meat
Thought she was clever
I pulled up in the rear
I pulled out my Old Timer
I cut that boy from ear to ear
She begged me not to do it
Said her runnin' days are through
I said I forgive you
As the bullet casing flew
Satisfaction, it locomotived through my brain
Now the walls of Huntsville keep me under lock and chain
If I had the chance
I'd do it all again
Cause a woman can be evil
Twice as much as any man
Lookin' back I'd do it all the same
Now the walls of Huntsville keep me under lock and chain
Now the walls of Huntsville keep me under lock and chain
Guess she always will
One day she betrayed me
Now I'm rottin' in this cell
Countin' down the days with this chalk and stone
Wishin' that that woman wouldn't went and done me wrong
Had a face just like an angel
A soul just like a beast
She pulled me in and loved me
She tore me piece by piece
Yeah, she had it comin'
I bet you'd do the same
Now the walls of Huntsville keep me under lock and chain
Had an eye for things a shinin'
My pockets were not deep
She went out a prowlin'
Lookin' for some fresher meat
Thought she was clever
I pulled up in the rear
I pulled out my Old Timer
I cut that boy from ear to ear
She begged me not to do it
Said her runnin' days are through
I said I forgive you
As the bullet casing flew
Satisfaction, it locomotived through my brain
Now the walls of Huntsville keep me under lock and chain
If I had the chance
I'd do it all again
Cause a woman can be evil
Twice as much as any man
Lookin' back I'd do it all the same
Now the walls of Huntsville keep me under lock and chain
Now the walls of Huntsville keep me under lock and chain
Broken lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Ain't it true what they say
Every dog has his day
I never had mine
I guess it was time
Send me on down the line
One piece at a time
She got her way
I bet it made her day
Through me off to the side
Took me out for a ride
Kicked me down to the curb
Now for all that it's worth
I'm lookin' to find
One that's broken like mine
[Chorus:]
Broken like mine
Or some piece of mind
I'll be happy when I find
A love less unkind
Broken like mine
I wish I was in her shoes
With nothin' left to lose
Carry myself down
To the lonely side of town
Tell her just how I feel
I need something now that's real
Don't you tell me that love is blind
A heart ain't got that kind of time
Unless it's broken like mine
[Repeat Chorus]
[Repeat Chorus]
Every dog has his day
I never had mine
I guess it was time
Send me on down the line
One piece at a time

Kicked me down to the curb
Now for all that it's worth

Constantly lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
She's got that certain thing about her
Sometimes it drops me to my knees
Sometimes it makes it hard to love her
But I always come around and see
[Chorus:]
Hey lady, I'm nothin' without you
Hey baby, you're nothin' without me
We got it constantly
One look from her eyes gets me thinkin'
What the hell could I have done this time
But it's love that I mistake for anger
The woman drives me outta my mind
[Repeat Chorus]
Can't wrap my mind around her leavin'
If she did they'd surely find me gone
Tons of heartache upon piles of grieving
Not a chance in hell I could carry on
[Repeat Chorus]
She's got that certain thing about her
Sometimes it drops me to my knees
Sometimes it makes it hard to love her
But I always come around and see
[Chorus:]
Hey lady, I'm nothin' without you
Hey baby, you're nothin' without me
We got it constantly
One look from her eyes gets me thinkin'
What the hell could I have done this time
But it's love that I mistake for anger
The woman drives me outta my mind
[Repeat Chorus]
Can't wrap my mind around her leavin'
If she did they'd surely find me gone
Tons of heartache upon piles of grieving
Not a chance in hell I could carry on
[Repeat Chorus]
She's got that certain thing about her
Suicide Blues lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
I go downtown
Lay by the railroad tracks
I'm gonna go downtown
Lay down by the railroad tracks
You see I don't want nothin'
Since my baby, she ain't comin' back
My lady she's gone
Took all my reason to live
My baby she gone
Took all my reason to live
Since she don't want me
I got nothin' left to give
[Chorus:]
She won't see me
Won't pick up the telephone
I wonder if she knows
She's the reason that I'll be gone
Lay in my bed
Stare at the ceiling for a while
I'm gonna lay in my bed
Stare at the ceiling for a while
My baby gonna miss me
My lady gonna miss me when I die
[Repeat Chorus]
Got my pills
Got my bottle of gin
I'm gonna swallow my pills
Swallow my bottle of gin
When I close my eyes
I won't see the sun again
[Repeat Chorus]
Get me a gun
Go back into my room
I'm gonna get me a gun
One with a barrel or two
You know I'm better off dead than
Singing these suicide blues
Lay by the railroad tracks
I'm gonna go downtown
Lay down by the railroad tracks
You see I don't want nothin'
Since my baby, she ain't comin' back
My lady she's gone
Took all my reason to live
My baby she gone
Took all my reason to live
Since she don't want me
I got nothin' left to give
[Chorus:]
She won't see me
Won't pick up the telephone
I wonder if she knows
She's the reason that I'll be gone
Lay in my bed
Stare at the ceiling for a while
I'm gonna lay in my bed
Stare at the ceiling for a while
My baby gonna miss me
My lady gonna miss me when I die
[Repeat Chorus]
Got my pills
Got my bottle of gin
I'm gonna swallow my pills
Swallow my bottle of gin
When I close my eyes
I won't see the sun again
[Repeat Chorus]
Get me a gun
Go back into my room
I'm gonna get me a gun
One with a barrel or two
You know I'm better off dead than

Other Side lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Gettin' tired of looking over my shoulder
Tired of walkin' around alone
Gettin' used to myself gettin' older
But not accustomed to getting' spit on
I've been takin' too much lately
And myself not takin' my share
So watch out steppin' stone walkin' over me
People I've had it up to here
Spent my whole life lookin' back
Not lookin' ahead to see
Trying to keep my feet on track
Doin' what was expected of me
Kick my shoes off so they can't trace me
Leave no forwarding address
Before they all drive me crazy
And I leave 'em all in a bloody mess
[Chorus:]
I've gotta ride
Fly high
Everybody gonna eat my dust
I gotta move so I won't rust
Got me a one way ticket to the other side
And I gotta ride
Maybe folks will think I'm dead
Maybe even change my name
Maybe they'll forget about me
Forget that I ever came
I'll come back one day just watch me
Back when I think I deserve
You know they're all gonna drive me
Yeah they're gonna drive me to a ball of nerves
[Repeat Chorus]
[Repeat Chorus]
Tired of walkin' around alone

On A Cloud lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
I was a wise man
I lived my life
As if tomorrow wasn't there
I loved my people
I walked the line
Now I'm flyin' through the air
[Chorus:]
On a cloud
On a cloud
On a cloud
Lookin' down
Tell my brothers that I love 'em
Tell my sisters that I'm free
Tell my children, oh how I miss 'em
But Heaven's waitin' there for me
[Repeat Chorus]
[Bridge:]
And I'm flying like a bird
It's everything that you heard
Keep your eyes up in the sky
You might see me sailing by
Farewell fine people
We'll meet again
In a better time and place
A look toward the Heaven
When I cross your mind
You just might see my face
[Repeat Chorus]
I lived my life
As if tomorrow wasn't there
I loved my people
I walked the line
Now I'm flyin' through the air
[Chorus:]
On a cloud
On a cloud

Tell my brothers that I love 'em
Tell my sisters that I'm free
Tell my children, oh how I miss 'em

Carry You Home lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
One day Jesus - he's gonna come back
And say enough of this
You're getting' way off track
All this stealin', cheatin', lyin', all the little babies cryin'
Well I'll tell ya I can't take anymore
Cause I died for your sins so long ago
It seems you forget with every day that rolls
I'm gonna stop it all right now
Before it gets way out of control
[Chorus:]
Everybody's gonna stand in line
When it comes to judgement time
Pick the side of the fence that you're on
When he comes to carry you home
Now if you wanna kill and die for your God
That's your prerogative, but I'll tell you that you're wrong
I think God - He's an understanding man
But I don't think that's part of his plan
Cause he wants us all to live in harmony
Take care of one another when we need
So if you want to rant and rave, murder and corrupt
Stay away from the ones that I love
I'm not pointin' fingers, don't get me wrong
Cause I drink and smoke and cuss
And carry on
This is my opinion and it's all that it is
To let you know that my devotion is his
I'll admit that I'm not a Saint
I know what I can - I know what I can't do
I can't judge your right from your wrong
You are you and I am my own
I don't read the Bible everyday
I can't understand most of it anyway
But I know where I'll go when my number is shown
[Repeat Chorus]
And say enough of this
You're getting' way off track
All this stealin', cheatin', lyin', all the little babies cryin'
Well I'll tell ya I can't take anymore
Cause I died for your sins so long ago
It seems you forget with every day that rolls
I'm gonna stop it all right now

Freedom lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
You are a morning glory
Like sunlight on my face
You always bring me comfort
Returning me to grace
I am a broken soldier
My spirit's strong, but tired
My heart has turned to steel now
It's been forged by the fire
[Chorus:]
Freedom
Freedom
I will lead them
To Freedom
I unsheathe my sword in Freedom
And for that I stand tall
I will die if is needed
But not until the last man falls
And they won't let me get rest
As my sword sinks in their chest
I see two more right behind
I know ten more's by their side
As I watch twelve more of them die
[Repeat Chorus]
Freedom
Freedom
I shall redeem them
In the name of Freedom
Like sunlight on my face
You always bring me comfort
Returning me to grace
I am a broken soldier
My spirit's strong, but tired
My heart has turned to steel now
It's been forged by the fire
[Chorus:]
Freedom
Freedom
I will lead them
To Freedom
I unsheathe my sword in Freedom
And for that I stand tall
I will die if is needed
But not until the last man falls
And they won't let me get rest
As my sword sinks in their chest
I see two more right behind
I know ten more's by their side
As I watch twelve more of them die
[Repeat Chorus]
Freedom
Freedom
I shall redeem them
In the name of Freedom

Look at you with your heart on a shelf
Sit at home get drunk by yourself
Call up a friend to ease your mind
Anything to pass the time
Hey hey it's all gonna change
Well well when you turn around again

Don't ask why as time goes by

I sure hope their comin back
Watch em roll away down the line
Just anywhere with your friend time
On Your Own lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
If i knew where i was going
i might already be there
but i dont know where i been.
every town seems to look the same
another year has came and went
running from the yesterday
looking for tomorrow
let the day just pass me by
looking for the anwsers
open for suggestions.
still the questions cloud my mind
cause every winter it gets colder
and every summer seems too long
and every road goes on forever
when your out there on your own.
i met a driftin woman
she was looking for the anwsers
but all she had was alibis
that driftin woman
i could never trust her
she had a pocket full of lies
so one night i left her
in total darkness
in a hotel room in tulsa
hey driftin woman wherever your driftin know
i hope you find what your searching for
chorus
well there not be an end
to this road im taking
i may not find my pot of gold
but theres always anoter day
and theres always another beer
another story to be told
i might already be there
but i dont know where i been.
every town seems to look the same
another year has came and went
running from the yesterday
looking for tomorrow
let the day just pass me by
looking for the anwsers
open for suggestions.
still the questions cloud my mind
cause every winter it gets colder
and every summer seems too long
and every road goes on forever
when your out there on your own.
i met a driftin woman
she was looking for the anwsers
but all she had was alibis
that driftin woman
i could never trust her
she had a pocket full of lies
so one night i left her
in total darkness
in a hotel room in tulsa
hey driftin woman wherever your driftin know
i hope you find what your searching for
chorus
well there not be an end
to this road im taking
i may not find my pot of gold
but theres always anoter day
and theres always another beer
another story to be told
Crazy Eddie's Last Hurrah lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Well it sure didn't take too long
I woke up this morning she was gone
And the note that she wrote
Didn't say Dear John, just goodbye sucker I'm gone
She was a homegrown mountain girl
Raised in a different world
I was a wanna be rocker
She was more into Merle
Couldn't see it just wouldn't work
And now I'm double fisting long necks, grapefruit and Stoli
Never getting over Joely
Well I poured myself in my car
I drove it on down to the bar
But they wouldn't let me in
Cause I ain't a movie star
So I went to the Horse Shoe on Lamar
The bouncer threw me out there too
And I didn't know what to do
So I picked up the phone
And I called dear Sue
But the call block wouldn't let me through
And now I'm wishing for some drugs or a shrink to console me
But I'm never getting over Joely
Well I gathered up all my guns
And a pipe bomb just for fun
And I drove to her house and parked on the lawn
That's right I always was a crazy one.
Well her boyfriend was sure nice to me
Said calm down would you like a drink
And then I shot him full of holes
From his nose to his knees
And I polished off her little sweet pea
And I'm crying on me knees feeling dirty and unholy
But I'm never getting over Joely
Now I'll probably get life and serve at least forty,
But I'm never getting over Joely
I woke up this morning she was gone
And the note that she wrote
Didn't say Dear John, just goodbye sucker I'm gone
She was a homegrown mountain girl
Raised in a different world
I was a wanna be rocker
She was more into Merle
Couldn't see it just wouldn't work
And now I'm double fisting long necks, grapefruit and Stoli
Never getting over Joely
Well I poured myself in my car
I drove it on down to the bar
But they wouldn't let me in
Cause I ain't a movie star
So I went to the Horse Shoe on Lamar
The bouncer threw me out there too
And I didn't know what to do
So I picked up the phone
And I called dear Sue
But the call block wouldn't let me through
And now I'm wishing for some drugs or a shrink to console me
But I'm never getting over Joely
Well I gathered up all my guns
And a pipe bomb just for fun
And I drove to her house and parked on the lawn
That's right I always was a crazy one.
Well her boyfriend was sure nice to me
Said calm down would you like a drink
And then I shot him full of holes
From his nose to his knees
And I polished off her little sweet pea
And I'm crying on me knees feeling dirty and unholy
But I'm never getting over Joely
Now I'll probably get life and serve at least forty,
But I'm never getting over Joely
Mexican Sky lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Ever since you went away
the sun hasn't been out to shine
and clouds they been dropping their blues on me
and rainy day blues are mine
and I don't care how far you roam
just as long as you come back home
with those words of iron
forged by the fire
in the heart of a lonely man
I've been wanting to tell you
that its rained ever day that you've been away
clouds are crying and I'm surviving
thinking about you down in old mexico
I'm thinking about you down in old mexico
I know that the rain it doesn't last forever
and seasons they keep rolling on
and absence doesn't make every heart grown fonder
the sun shines so bright in the mexican sky
and I don't care how far you roam
I don't care if you never come home
with those words of iron
forged by the fire
in the heart of a lonely man
I've been wanting to tell you
that its rained ever day that you've been away
clouds are crying and I'm surving
thinking about you down in old mexico
I'm thinking about you down in old mexico
the sun hasn't been out to shine
and clouds they been dropping their blues on me
and rainy day blues are mine
and I don't care how far you roam
just as long as you come back home
with those words of iron
forged by the fire
in the heart of a lonely man
I've been wanting to tell you
that its rained ever day that you've been away
clouds are crying and I'm surviving
thinking about you down in old mexico
I'm thinking about you down in old mexico
I know that the rain it doesn't last forever
and seasons they keep rolling on
and absence doesn't make every heart grown fonder
the sun shines so bright in the mexican sky
and I don't care how far you roam
I don't care if you never come home
with those words of iron
forged by the fire
in the heart of a lonely man
I've been wanting to tell you
that its rained ever day that you've been away
clouds are crying and I'm surving
thinking about you down in old mexico
I'm thinking about you down in old mexico
President Song lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Oh if I were president, I'd make you understand
No more questions no more lies,
I will tell you the truth looking in your eyes
If I were president.
Well first and for most son Jesus Christ is the only one,
You're going to talk to when your day begins.
I'm going to pass a law that says everyday you got to get down on your knees and pray,
Thank the man for dying for you sins.
[Chorus:]
If I were president, I would make you understand
Jesus is the man he's the reason that we stand, if I were president
We're gonna put the word out on the streets no more Washington, DC,
I'm gonna make this country big and strong.
No more paying of your taxes
The capital is Pampa, Texas, that's the only place a house that big belongs.
[Chorus:]
If I were president, the blue-collar man won't get the shaft.
Nobody's gonna laugh when Jason Boland is my chief of staff,
If I were president.
Well, Iraqi boys you must be nuts,
You're digging yourself deeper in a rut.
I got a way to end your problems soon.
We'll bring home every one of our boys
And pull out our biggest badest toy
And blow you crazy bastards to the moon.
[Chorus:]
If I were president, nobody's going to push us around.
If they threaten us or put us down we'll burn there county to the ground.
If I were president.
Well, I got one for you Sadaam Hussein
We'll resurrect General John Wayne,
Put together a very simple plan.
We'll put down our nukes put down our guns
And you and the duke will be one on one
And he'll kick your ass as if you were a man.
[Chorus:]
If I were president,
If I were president.
If you don't like Willie Nelson, you got to go to prison.
If I were president.
So cash your vote and make it me
And if I win the beer is free if I were president
No more questions no more lies,
I will tell you the truth looking in your eyes
If I were president.
Well first and for most son Jesus Christ is the only one,
You're going to talk to when your day begins.
I'm going to pass a law that says everyday you got to get down on your knees and pray,
Thank the man for dying for you sins.
[Chorus:]
If I were president, I would make you understand
Jesus is the man he's the reason that we stand, if I were president

Alright lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Thinking back to my college days
Man that was such a haize
Always some party going on
Someone up getting drunk
Someone down getting stoned
The Jimmy Hendriz poser in the hall
Covering up that hole in the wall
Five for a dollar, man the price is right
Ramen Noodles almost everynight
The Credit Card will surely cover Spring Break
But I might sit at home and just buy me a steak
Well I ate it all by myself
And told my roomates to go to hell
[Chorus]
If your going downtown to the liquor store
bring me a bottle of wine
I've been taking myself much too seriously lately
And I need to unwind
So fire up the charcoal and we'll sit in the yard
Get primed up and head out to the bar
I wonder who's playing down on the strip tonight
Hey man life's alright
It's penny beer night and bar hoppin around
Someone breaking a heart
Someone laying one down
Waiting in line at the all night cafe
I drank all my money, how am I gonna pay
And it's "Oh my spinning head"
And it's one foot off the bed
[Repeat Chorus]
Man that was such a haize
Always some party going on
Someone up getting drunk
Someone down getting stoned
The Jimmy Hendriz poser in the hall
Covering up that hole in the wall
Five for a dollar, man the price is right
Ramen Noodles almost everynight
The Credit Card will surely cover Spring Break
But I might sit at home and just buy me a steak
Well I ate it all by myself
And told my roomates to go to hell
[Chorus]
If your going downtown to the liquor store
bring me a bottle of wine
I've been taking myself much too seriously lately
And I need to unwind
So fire up the charcoal and we'll sit in the yard
Get primed up and head out to the bar
I wonder who's playing down on the strip tonight
Hey man life's alright
It's penny beer night and bar hoppin around
Someone breaking a heart
Someone laying one down
Waiting in line at the all night cafe
I drank all my money, how am I gonna pay
And it's "Oh my spinning head"
And it's one foot off the bed
[Repeat Chorus]
Johnny's Song lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
what is life it could be a million
It could be a single dime
Or it could be a ship out on the water
But to me it's just more time
Time for the one who moved a hundred mountains
Time for the one who broke a thousand chains
For the love of a son and a mother
A little girl sweet as sugar cane
What is love it could be a river
Love's a single drop of rain
But to her love is forever
It's the mention of your name
What is love there's more than just one answer
Love's a golden wedding ring
If only love could be the cure for cancer
Then the world would hear you sing
What is faith
Faith is believing
Faith can tell you where to go
You say faith can move a thousand mountains
Faith can liberate your soul
A heart of gold will take you to the rafters
Where you get your angel wings
Don't cry for me are the words that are coming
From your golden guitar strings
What is life
It could be a million
What is love
There's more than just one answer
What is faith
Faith is believing
It could be a single dime
Or it could be a ship out on the water
But to me it's just more time
Time for the one who moved a hundred mountains
Time for the one who broke a thousand chains
For the love of a son and a mother
A little girl sweet as sugar cane
What is love it could be a river
Love's a single drop of rain
But to her love is forever
It's the mention of your name
What is love there's more than just one answer
Love's a golden wedding ring
If only love could be the cure for cancer
Then the world would hear you sing
What is faith
Faith is believing
Faith can tell you where to go
You say faith can move a thousand mountains
Faith can liberate your soul
A heart of gold will take you to the rafters
Where you get your angel wings
Don't cry for me are the words that are coming
From your golden guitar strings
What is life
It could be a million
What is love
There's more than just one answer
What is faith
Faith is believing
Carney Man lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
I want a big red nose I want some floppy shoes
I want a squirtin' flower squirt it on you
Like all the bad clowns do
I want to juggle bowling pins in the sun
I want to join the circus, the circus looks like fun
I'll sit and work the gate or I can guess your weight
I'll even sell the corn dogs I don't care
As long as I am there
I'll hand out baseballs at the dunk tank
I'll ride my funny car laughing... all the way to the bank
Cause I'm a carney man I'm a carney man
I'm a carney man I'm a carney man carney man carney man
The human cannonball I'll rise above it all
Up higher than the trapeze I can fly Oh God I'm gonna die
I just gotta get high
I am a carney worker I make two bucks
Every hour come to find out ... this job it f@*%#! sucks
Cause I'm a carney man I'm a carney man
I'm a carney man I'm a carney man
You need a corndog I can tell You need a corn dog I can tell
I'm a carney man
I want a squirtin' flower squirt it on you
Like all the bad clowns do
I want to juggle bowling pins in the sun
I want to join the circus, the circus looks like fun
I'll sit and work the gate or I can guess your weight
I'll even sell the corn dogs I don't care
As long as I am there
I'll hand out baseballs at the dunk tank
I'll ride my funny car laughing... all the way to the bank
Cause I'm a carney man I'm a carney man
I'm a carney man I'm a carney man carney man carney man
The human cannonball I'll rise above it all
Up higher than the trapeze I can fly Oh God I'm gonna die
I just gotta get high
I am a carney worker I make two bucks
Every hour come to find out ... this job it f@*%#! sucks
Cause I'm a carney man I'm a carney man
I'm a carney man I'm a carney man
You need a corndog I can tell You need a corn dog I can tell
I'm a carney man
Look At Me lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
I got a one hundred-dollar bill
It’s all shiny, crisp, and clean
And it’s burning a hole in the pocket of my jeans
I think I’ll spend it on some pills
Instead of gasoline
I don’t see any kind of fun in coming clean
Pick me up and watch me fall
And do it all again
I ain’t got no sense at all
I like pissing in the wind and on my dreams
Look at me
Look at me I’m on my way down
So close now I can almost see the ground
Yeah another night another town
Set em up I’ll knock em down
Workin' on sympathy
Look at me
Hey bartender another round
This one’s on mine
Let’s see how many friends I can buy in just a little time
See the girl at the bar
Tell her I’m somebody and I got a fast car
I’m in room 331 with a bottle of wine
Tell I’m a superstar
She won’t give it a second chance
Tell that I play guitar but I never learned how to dance
And here’s my key
Yeah look at me
It’s all shiny, crisp, and clean
And it’s burning a hole in the pocket of my jeans
I think I’ll spend it on some pills
Instead of gasoline
I don’t see any kind of fun in coming clean
Pick me up and watch me fall
And do it all again
I ain’t got no sense at all
I like pissing in the wind and on my dreams
Look at me
Look at me I’m on my way down
So close now I can almost see the ground
Yeah another night another town
Set em up I’ll knock em down
Workin' on sympathy
Look at me
Hey bartender another round
This one’s on mine
Let’s see how many friends I can buy in just a little time
See the girl at the bar
Tell her I’m somebody and I got a fast car
I’m in room 331 with a bottle of wine
Tell I’m a superstar
She won’t give it a second chance
Tell that I play guitar but I never learned how to dance
And here’s my key
Yeah look at me
