I had a heart big as Atlanta
Till I ran in to a dancer named Savannah
She stole my soul away
Tool my wallet and my chain
Left me here standin’ out in the rain
Suzi Suzi man that chick was groovy
Let her ride in my four door Cadillac
One night while I was sleepin’ ever so softly
She hit the road and never did come back
[Chorus]
One of these days I’m gonna set my ways
Maybe I quit all this runnin’ round
Gonna find me a woman with her head on tight
Maybe then I’ll get some sleep at night
Roxy baby what a foxy lady
Loved to wear her great big diamond rings
Money in my pocket boys you know I couldn’t buy her toys
Left me here with a load of blues to sing
[Chorus]
Janet Janet from the boogie planet
Had a body out of this world
I thought Janet was for real
She was gonna get me a record deal
Till she ran away with another girl
[Chorus]
Shelby Shelby Lord help me
That girl come alive at night
She’s straight out of Californ-I-A
Something bout that girl hey
See her once see her every day go by
[Chorus]
Back Around lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
You say you will, but you never do
Kind of gettin' tired of lookin' through you
Got a lot on your mind, but not as much as I had on mine
When you got everything
You don't know what it's like to lose
But everything is nothing when your neck's inside the noose
When it chokes you out and it fades to black
Leaves you wishing you could take it all back
It don't matter if it's wrong or right, it don't matter if you sleep at night
It don't matter how much you pray,'cause you'll get yours come Judgement Day
[Chorus]
'cause Everything comes back around
No matter how much you cover your ground
You spend your whole life running from your sins
Runnin' a race you ain't never gonna win
Gonna catch up to you in the end
Got holes in your story, got a monkey on your back
One foot in the grave and you're caught in a trap
With a fallin' down curtain that you can't stop
An iron in the fire that you didn't mean to drop
When you live in a house that's made of glass
Don't throw stones cause your walls will fall fast
As those walls come crashing down
Look at the pieces scattered all around
Pick up the ones that you can find
Try to put them all together but you're runnin' out of time
[Chorus]
Broke down and you're all alone
A blade of guilt cuts you to the bone
Think by now you'd have turn and run
But you can't cross a bridge you've burned
[Chorus]
You know that you can't run forever my friend
Kind of gettin' tired of lookin' through you
Got a lot on your mind, but not as much as I had on mine
When you got everything
You don't know what it's like to lose
But everything is nothing when your neck's inside the noose
When it chokes you out and it fades to black
Leaves you wishing you could take it all back
It don't matter if it's wrong or right, it don't matter if you sleep at night
It don't matter how much you pray,'cause you'll get yours come Judgement Day
[Chorus]
'cause Everything comes back around
No matter how much you cover your ground
You spend your whole life running from your sins
Runnin' a race you ain't never gonna win
Gonna catch up to you in the end
Got holes in your story, got a monkey on your back
One foot in the grave and you're caught in a trap
With a fallin' down curtain that you can't stop
An iron in the fire that you didn't mean to drop
When you live in a house that's made of glass
Don't throw stones cause your walls will fall fast
As those walls come crashing down
Look at the pieces scattered all around
Pick up the ones that you can find
Try to put them all together but you're runnin' out of time
[Chorus]
Broke down and you're all alone
A blade of guilt cuts you to the bone
Think by now you'd have turn and run
But you can't cross a bridge you've burned
[Chorus]
You know that you can't run forever my friend
Jimmy And Annie lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed (duet with Stoney LaRue)
Jimmy was a small town kid
The only thing that he ever did
Was cross that south side railroad track
Annie was a small town girl
Wanted so bad to see the world
Get on a train and never look back
[Chorus]
Throw caution to the wind don’t ever turn your head
Cause in the end we’ll all be dead
Make ‘em open up their ears and listen to your song
It don’t matter whose right or wrong
Headed fast out of town West on 51
Half a pack of cigarettes and a glove compartment gun
Runnin’ a little short on gas she said I’ll step in and pay
Got a pocket full of cash and they made their getaway
[Chorus]
Arizona sun sinking slowly in the sand
Got a bag of twenty bills and a sack of contraband
Steppin’ down on his foot give this thing some gas
The lights in the rearview mirror are coming on us fast
Just like the wind here cane the end
They never saw it come
Jimmy knew his fate was sealed when Annie grabbed her gun
The same old broken story
I know you’ve heard it too
They went out in a blaze of glory with a hand held .22
[Chorus]
The only thing that he ever did
Was cross that south side railroad track
Annie was a small town girl
Wanted so bad to see the world
Get on a train and never look back
[Chorus]
Throw caution to the wind don’t ever turn your head
Cause in the end we’ll all be dead
Make ‘em open up their ears and listen to your song
It don’t matter whose right or wrong
Headed fast out of town West on 51
Half a pack of cigarettes and a glove compartment gun
Runnin’ a little short on gas she said I’ll step in and pay
Got a pocket full of cash and they made their getaway
[Chorus]
Arizona sun sinking slowly in the sand
Got a bag of twenty bills and a sack of contraband
Steppin’ down on his foot give this thing some gas
The lights in the rearview mirror are coming on us fast
Just like the wind here cane the end
They never saw it come
Jimmy knew his fate was sealed when Annie grabbed her gun
The same old broken story
I know you’ve heard it too
They went out in a blaze of glory with a hand held .22

Highway 377 lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
the devil's got a hot rod Ford
JESUS got a brand new Cadillac
The devil he sent me off the road
Sent me 60 feet below
JESUS turned around and he came back
I heard the tires scream on that Cadillac
The devil he ain't got no clue
Jesus got his eyes on you
The devil ha made me crash my ride
I got JESUS on my side
JESUS on my side
You see he was driving that ragtop right in back of me
The devil with his evil grin
JESUS with his healing hands
The devil he just sits and smiles
JESUS wipes the blood from my eyes
JESUS with his healing hands
He picks me up and holds me where I stand
That devil he won't get too far
JESUS let me drive his car
We drove him off that Seminole Bridge
Back to hell you son of a bitch
JESUS and me we made that Cadillac yell
We sent that demon screamin' back to hell
JESUS got a coupe de ville
He's ridin' right behind me still
He's with me on that broken line
In case the devil he comes back sometime
JESUS in his brand new Cadillac
He's making sure that devil he don't come back
JESUS got a brand new Cadillac
The devil he sent me off the road
Sent me 60 feet below
JESUS turned around and he came back
I heard the tires scream on that Cadillac
The devil he ain't got no clue
Jesus got his eyes on you
The devil ha made me crash my ride
I got JESUS on my side
JESUS on my side
You see he was driving that ragtop right in back of me
The devil with his evil grin
JESUS with his healing hands
The devil he just sits and smiles
JESUS wipes the blood from my eyes
JESUS with his healing hands
He picks me up and holds me where I stand
That devil he won't get too far
JESUS let me drive his car
We drove him off that Seminole Bridge
Back to hell you son of a bitch
JESUS and me we made that Cadillac yell
We sent that demon screamin' back to hell
JESUS got a coupe de ville
He's ridin' right behind me still
He's with me on that broken line
In case the devil he comes back sometime
JESUS in his brand new Cadillac
He's making sure that devil he don't come back
Time To Move On lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
A young man's searching
Trying to find his soul
He's heard all the myths and the stories that he's told
He searches his heart for the magic to behold
He wants to find the answers before he grows old
[Chorus]
One door closes two doors open
The road you take is the path you've chosen
T he end is the beginning, beginning is the end
Every road gonna bring you round again
Stop and look around
Time to move on
My old man is traveling
Now he's lost his way
He's drifting in the middle
And his hair is turning gray
What you don't know might hurt you
When your pride gets in the way
If you don't read the signs
You'll get lost along the way
[Chorus]
You got to follow your bliss
Gotta follow your sorrow
Where will you be when you wake up tomorrow
The choice is up to you
It's yours and yours alone
Every road gonna bring you home
[Chorus]
Trying to find his soul
He's heard all the myths and the stories that he's told
He searches his heart for the magic to behold
He wants to find the answers before he grows old
[Chorus]
One door closes two doors open
The road you take is the path you've chosen
T he end is the beginning, beginning is the end
Every road gonna bring you round again
Stop and look around
Time to move on
My old man is traveling
Now he's lost his way
He's drifting in the middle
And his hair is turning gray
What you don't know might hurt you
When your pride gets in the way
If you don't read the signs
You'll get lost along the way
[Chorus]
You got to follow your bliss
Gotta follow your sorrow
Where will you be when you wake up tomorrow
The choice is up to you
It's yours and yours alone
Every road gonna bring you home
[Chorus]
Long Way Home lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Too scared to go to proud to run
Here's your orders boy here's your gun
We're sending you off to Vietnam
Try to stay cool try to stay calm
Never seen nothin' but that Mid-Texas dirt
Never been on a flying machine
Your job now is to take this gun
And kill everything that you see
It's a long way home
Orange in the air
Fire on the ground
Them back up boys ain't no where around
There's smoke in the sky
You're screamin' to the sea
Oh God have mercy on me
It's a long way home
Got that medal on your chest
Now you got it made
But you're going back to a land of protest
And an empty hero's parade
Waking up in the dead of night
Screaming out your lungs
Jungle fires and trip bomb wires
And blazin' red turret guns
It's a long way home
Here's your orders boy here's your gun
We're sending you off to Vietnam
Try to stay cool try to stay calm
Never seen nothin' but that Mid-Texas dirt
Never been on a flying machine
Your job now is to take this gun
And kill everything that you see
It's a long way home
Orange in the air
Fire on the ground
Them back up boys ain't no where around
There's smoke in the sky
You're screamin' to the sea
Oh God have mercy on me
It's a long way home
Got that medal on your chest
Now you got it made
But you're going back to a land of protest
And an empty hero's parade
Waking up in the dead of night
Screaming out your lungs
Jungle fires and trip bomb wires
And blazin' red turret guns
It's a long way home
Run To Me lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
I got a lot of things to say
I've got a lot of things to do today
But I'll put 'em all behind
Throw 'em to the side
Put 'em off till tomorrow to keep you satisfied
Put 'em off till tomorrow to keep you satisfied
Come to me when you can
Run to me baby understand
Where you go I will follow
Every step of the way every night and day
Every step of the way every night and day
[Chorus]
Like your shadow on the ground girl I'll always be around
Be it high or be it low
Reaping everything you sow
Everywhere you go
Every mile every breath
Anything put me to the test
Heel to toe
Everywhere you go
Everywhere that you go in the pocket of your soul
Everywhere that you go in the pocket of your soul
[Chorus]
Come to me when you can
Run to me baby understand
I've got a lot of things to do today
But I'll put 'em all behind
Throw 'em to the side
Put 'em off till tomorrow to keep you satisfied
Put 'em off till tomorrow to keep you satisfied
Come to me when you can
Run to me baby understand
Where you go I will follow
Every step of the way every night and day
Every step of the way every night and day
[Chorus]
Like your shadow on the ground girl I'll always be around
Be it high or be it low
Reaping everything you sow
Everywhere you go
Every mile every breath
Anything put me to the test
Heel to toe
Everywhere you go
Everywhere that you go in the pocket of your soul
Everywhere that you go in the pocket of your soul
[Chorus]
Come to me when you can
Run to me baby understand
Alabama 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]
[Chorus]
All she heard was dial tone

Maybe I miss your body lyin' right next to mine

But somebody wouldn't understand

And how he missed the way she always smiled
Are you coming back soon

Amos Moses lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Now Amos Moses was a Cajun
He lived by his self in the swamp
He hunted alligator for livin'
He just knocked em' in the head with a stump
Louisiana law gonna get you Amos
It ain't legal huntin' alligators down in the swamp boy
Now everybody blamed his old man For makin' him mean as a snake
When Amos Moses was a boy his daddy'd use him for alligator bait
Tie a rope around his neck and throw him in the swamp
Alligator bait in the Louisiana bayou
[Chorus]
About forty-five minutes south of Thibadoux Louisiana
Lived a cat named Doc Milsap and his pretty wife Hanna
Well they raised up a son that could eat up his weight in groceries
Named him after a man of the cloth
Called him Amos Moses
Everybody in south Louisiana Said Amos was a helluva man
He could trap the biggest and meanest alligator and just use one hand
That's all he got left cause a alligator bit it
Left arm gone clean up to the elbow
Well the sheriff caught wind of Amos
In the swamp trappin alligator skins
That sheriff went lookin for Amos
Boy you know he never come out again
I wonder where the Louisiana sheriff went to
You can sure get lost in the Louisiana bayou
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
He lived by his self in the swamp

Bang My Head lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Check me out in my easy chair
Bottle in my hand
How it ever got to go far I guess I'll never understand
Cause I bend and bend until I break
Then I bend some more
Sometimes I feel like a piece of dirt down on your floor
[Chorus]
I bang my head against the wall
Bang it until it bleeds
To me it makes no difference at all
I got to bang it till I' can't see
Don't know what you think of me
I don't really care
I got to bang my head against the wall cause it's there
I sit and stare at the telephone
Why don't it ring
Once upon a time I thought I knew it all
Turns out I don't know God Damn thing
Pick it up and I throw it down
I pick it up again
I'm gonna keep slammin' it to the floor till someone's on the other end
[Chorus]
I don't know why I'm sittin' here
Seems like I used to know
Knew everything I wanted everywhere I needed to go
Friends stop and they smile at me
They say you got it all
But what they don't know what they don't see
Are the holes up and down my hall
[Chorus]
Sun comin' up at the break of dawn
I can't shut my eyes
It's like a pile of wire coat hangers inside of my mind
Now I'm down here on the floor
My world spinning around
I get the feeling I ain't ever gonna leave this God forsaken town
[Chorus]
Bottle in my hand
How it ever got to go far I guess I'll never understand
Cause I bend and bend until I break
Then I bend some more
Sometimes I feel like a piece of dirt down on your floor
[Chorus]
I bang my head against the wall
Bang it until it bleeds
To me it makes no difference at all
I got to bang it till I' can't see
Don't know what you think of me
I don't really care
I got to bang my head against the wall cause it's there
I sit and stare at the telephone
Why don't it ring
Once upon a time I thought I knew it all
Turns out I don't know God Damn thing
Pick it up and I throw it down
I pick it up again
I'm gonna keep slammin' it to the floor till someone's on the other end
[Chorus]
I don't know why I'm sittin' here
Seems like I used to know
Knew everything I wanted everywhere I needed to go
Friends stop and they smile at me

Sun comin' up at the break of dawn

The President Song lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Oh if I were President
I'd make you realize

I'll tell you the truth looking in your eyes
If I were President.
Well first and formost son Jesus Christ is the only one

If I were president
Nobody's gonna push us around,
Well nobody's gonna laugh when Jason Volet's my chief of staff
If I were president.
Well Iraqi boys you must be nuts

I got a way to end you problems soon
Well we'll bring home every one of our boys
pull out our biggest baddest toys
and blow you crazy bastards to the moon.
If I were president,
Nobody's gonna push us around
If they threaten us or put us down
we'll burn their country to the ground,
If I were president.
Well talk about you Osama bin Laden
It won't be long till your name's forgotten
America's freedom is always gonna ring
And you know that we wont be satisfied
Till your hatred's dead and your people are fried
Your head's on a pole and your balls in a sling.
If I were president
If I were president
Hey one thing you can't deny

If I was president
Well I got one for you, Saddam Hussein
We'll resurect General John Wayne,
and put together a very simple plan,

So cashible and make it me an' if I win the beer's free
If I were president.
I'd make you realize

Workin' On OK lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Well I'm lookin' out my water stained window
The best that I can see
I swear when I get off this couch
I'm gonna cut down that damned old tree
Don Quixote passes by
No windmills in his sight
Hungover on a Tuesday
Workin' on OK
I'm workin' on OK
A little better each and everyday
Sometimes the shoe it fits too tight
You wait for tomorrow
It might fix it right
Cursin' my life away
Oh that's alright
As long as you get paid
And I don't care
What other people say
I'm workin' on OK
The coffee table is getting' tight
Too many cans on a Friday night
I'm gonna clean that table soon
Maybe later on this afternoon
I never knew the sun
Could shine that bright
Pull down that shade
Turn out the light
Smoking butts from my ashtray
I'm workin' on OK
I'm workin' on OK
A little better each and everyday
Sometimes the shoe it fits too tight
You wait for tomorrow
It might fix it right
Cursin' my life away
Oh that's alright
As long as you get paid
And I don't care
What other people say
I'm workin' on OK
The best that I can see
I swear when I get off this couch
I'm gonna cut down that damned old tree
Don Quixote passes by
No windmills in his sight
Hungover on a Tuesday
Workin' on OK
I'm workin' on OK
A little better each and everyday
Sometimes the shoe it fits too tight
You wait for tomorrow
It might fix it right
Cursin' my life away
Oh that's alright
As long as you get paid
And I don't care
What other people say
I'm workin' on OK
The coffee table is getting' tight
Too many cans on a Friday night
I'm gonna clean that table soon
Maybe later on this afternoon
I never knew the sun
Could shine that bright
Pull down that shade
Turn out the light
Smoking butts from my ashtray
I'm workin' on OK
I'm workin' on OK
A little better each and everyday
Sometimes the shoe it fits too tight
You wait for tomorrow
It might fix it right
Cursin' my life away
Oh that's alright
As long as you get paid
And I don't care
What other people say
I'm workin' on OK
Hey, Hey, My, My lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
My, my, hey, hey. Rock and roll is here to stay.
It's better to burn out than to fade away. My, my, hey, hey.
Out of the blue and into the black.
They give you this but you paid for that.
Once you're gone you can never go back,
When you're out of the blue and into the black.
The king is gone but he's not forgotten.
This is a story of a Johnny Rotten
It's better to burn out than it is to rust.
The king is gone but he's not forgot- - -en.
Hey, hey, my, my. Rock and roll will never die.
Just hang your head down in your eye. Hey, hey, my, my.
Hey, hey, my, my. Rock and roll will never die.
More to the picture than meets to eye. Hey, hey, my, my.
It's better to burn out than to fade away. My, my, hey, hey.
Out of the blue and into the black.
They give you this but you paid for that.
Once you're gone you can never go back,
When you're out of the blue and into the black.
The king is gone but he's not forgotten.
This is a story of a Johnny Rotten
It's better to burn out than it is to rust.
The king is gone but he's not forgot- - -en.
Hey, hey, my, my. Rock and roll will never die.
Just hang your head down in your eye. Hey, hey, my, my.
Hey, hey, my, my. Rock and roll will never die.
More to the picture than meets to eye. Hey, hey, my, my.
Down At The Harbor lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
I been sittin in this marina all day
Watchin folks fillin up their tanks
And hearin skiers cuss the waves
We're all gonna rendezvous come nightfall
Down there close by the edge of the pier
Bring bucket loads of longneck beer
Summertime by the lakeside is the best time of year
[Chorus]
Down at the harbor
Lights on the water
I be tellin all my jokes
Sittin way too close
To somebody's daughter
Down at the harbor
Shines on the water
Forget my way home
Hope I'm not alone
At least till tomorrow
Everybody's hangin out and catchin rays
We're so busy runnin from our life
Takes up most of our day
When the night comes here it's time to unwind
Sing some songs on my old guitar
Laugh about them nights in the bar
Everybody's dancin underneath the stars
[Chorus]
Make my way home and hope I'm not alone
At least till tomorrow
Watchin folks fillin up their tanks
And hearin skiers cuss the waves
We're all gonna rendezvous come nightfall
Down there close by the edge of the pier
Bring bucket loads of longneck beer
Summertime by the lakeside is the best time of year
[Chorus]
Down at the harbor
Lights on the water
I be tellin all my jokes
Sittin way too close
To somebody's daughter
Down at the harbor
Shines on the water
Forget my way home
Hope I'm not alone
At least till tomorrow
Everybody's hangin out and catchin rays
We're so busy runnin from our life
Takes up most of our day
When the night comes here it's time to unwind
Sing some songs on my old guitar
Laugh about them nights in the bar
Everybody's dancin underneath the stars
[Chorus]
Make my way home and hope I'm not alone
At least till tomorrow
Much Better Now lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Well I guess you could say I've been takin' it too hard,
Thinkin' about me and nobody else.
I never thought that I would get down this far,
Walkin' around talkin' to myself.
But I'm feelin' much better now than I have been.
Well, lately things they make alot of sense.
I'll still find a way to piss them off somehow
But I'm feelin' much better now.
-You know, people - - sometimes they drive me crazy.
Well I've done some drivin' of my own.
Yeah they're stickin'their nose in my business...
Well why can't they leave me the hell alone?
But I'm feelin' much better now than I have been.
Well, lately things they make alot of sense.
I'll still find a way to piss them off somehow
But I'm feelin' much better now.
Well I'm not opposed to your conversation.
I like to throw things down on the floor.
Well I'm glad they don't know what I'm thinkin'...
Some folks wouldn't like me anymore.
But I'm feelin' much better now than I have been.
Well, lately things they make alot of sense.
I'll still find a way to piss them off somehow
But I'm feelin' much better now.
But I'm feelin' much better now than I have been.
Well, lately things they make alot of sense.
I'll still find a way to piss them off somehow
But I'm feelin' much better now.
Thinkin' about me and nobody else.
I never thought that I would get down this far,
Walkin' around talkin' to myself.
But I'm feelin' much better now than I have been.
Well, lately things they make alot of sense.

Boys From Oklahoma lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Them boys from Oklahoma roll their joints all wrong
They're too damn skinny or way too long
I ain't no holy roller so I just use a bong
Them boys from Oklahoma roll their joints all wrong
Them boys down in Texas got some damn fine weed
They smuggle across the Rio, they use the Mexican breed
That's expointin' cheap labor, but hell that's Texican's creed
Them boys down in Texas got some damn fine weed
Them boys in Arkansas they got some damn fine pot
That's a direct result of all them good seeds they got
Haulin' water up a hill's a chore, but man I tell you what
Them boys from Arkansas they got some damn fine pot
[Chorus]
Them boys up in Kansas, hell all they got is a bunch of schwag
And they'll try to screw you for fifty bucks a quarter bag
I got some in my guitar case and I'm not the type to brag
But it's a damn sight better than that Kansanian schwag
Them boys in Louisiana got trouble growin' their weed
Them alligators is mean, and they eat up all the seeds
But on a bayou night by the light of a full moon
You can walk out and pick you a sack full of 'shrooms
[Chorus]
They're too damn skinny or way too long
I ain't no holy roller so I just use a bong
Them boys from Oklahoma roll their joints all wrong
Them boys down in Texas got some damn fine weed
They smuggle across the Rio, they use the Mexican breed
That's expointin' cheap labor, but hell that's Texican's creed
Them boys down in Texas got some damn fine weed
Them boys in Arkansas they got some damn fine pot
That's a direct result of all them good seeds they got
Haulin' water up a hill's a chore, but man I tell you what
Them boys from Arkansas they got some damn fine pot

Them boys up in Kansas, hell all they got is a bunch of schwag
And they'll try to screw you for fifty bucks a quarter bag
I got some in my guitar case and I'm not the type to brag

Them boys in Louisiana got trouble growin' their weed
Them alligators is mean, and they eat up all the seeds
But on a bayou night by the light of a full moon
You can walk out and pick you a sack full of 'shrooms
[Chorus]
Rainy Day Women #12 & #35 lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Well they stone ya when you try to be so good
Stone ya just like they said they would
Stone ya when you're walkin' down the street
Stone ya when ya try to keep your seat
Well I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
Stone ya when you try to cop a feel
Stone ya when you're drinkin' down [?]
Stone ya when you're drivin' in your car (I taught him well)
Stone ya when you're playin' your guitar
Well I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
Well they stone ya when you're walkin' down the street
Stone ya when ya try to keep your seat
Stone ya when you sit down in your grave
They stone ya when you try to be so brave
Well I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
Well I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
Well I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
Stone ya just like they said they would

Stone ya when ya try to keep your seat
Well I would not feel so all alone,

Stone ya when you're playin' your guitar
Well I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
Well they stone ya when you're walkin' down the street
Stone ya when ya try to keep your seat
Stone ya when you sit down in your grave
They stone ya when you try to be so brave
Well I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
Well I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
Well I would not feel so all alone,
Everybody must get stoned.
Nowhere, Texas lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
World on your shoulders
Lot on your brain
Enough to drive a girl insane
Well I been thinkin bout maybe headin' southbound
Wonder if you'd do the same
[Chorus:]
Why don't you roll with me baby down to Nowhere, Texas
I got nothin but time
Jump in the cab of my 70 Chevy
Leave Oklahoma far behind
My good friend told me once Texas is big enough
That a man could get lost
Roll down that window
Open that glove box
Give that road map a toss
[Chorus]
Dallas to Austin
Please come to Boston
Cause I been playin all night long
Turn off that radio
I'm gonna sing to you sweetly
the words to your favorite song
[Chorus]
Well we'll keep on drivin till we hit that ocean
We'll get there by the break of day
Maybe I should warn you I never could stay sober
When I'm sittin on that Corpus Christi Bay
[Chorus 2X]
Lot on your brain
Enough to drive a girl insane
Well I been thinkin bout maybe headin' southbound
Wonder if you'd do the same
[Chorus:]
Why don't you roll with me baby down to Nowhere, Texas
I got nothin but time
Jump in the cab of my 70 Chevy
Leave Oklahoma far behind
My good friend told me once Texas is big enough
That a man could get lost
Roll down that window
Open that glove box
Give that road map a toss
[Chorus]
Dallas to Austin
Please come to Boston
Cause I been playin all night long

We'll get there by the break of day
Maybe I should warn you I never could stay sober

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

You need a corndog I can tell You need a corn dog I can tell

Look at you with your heart on a shelf
Sit at home get drunk by yourself
Call up a friend to ease your mind

Help Me (Get Over This Mountain) lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
If I seem to run to you, if I seem to turn to you right away,
It's cause I seen it in your eyes, I believe you my friend,
Won't you help me get over this now?
- Won't you help me get over this mountain, help me get over this hill.
Help me get over this mountain, help me get over this now. -
I hope I don't embarrass you with all my feelins
I'm only cryin' to you cause I'm not scared.
Well you said you'd be honest, and you'd always be true,
And you said you would see me through...and you would
- Help me get over this mountain, help me get over this hill.
Help me get over this mountain, help me get over this now. -
You gave me a shoulder to lean on, and a path to follow.
You took me to the clearings of this deep dark hollow.
Like some dark forest, you're gonna walk me through
And the next place I stepped, it's the only thing new.
I found answers in the eyes of a young one,
And anceint ones have answered me, too.
While I was searhin' my soul, all the signs that I read,
They seem to direct me to you...they said you'd
- Help me get over this mountain, help me get over this hill.
Help me get over this mountain, help me get over this now.
It's cause I seen it in your eyes, I believe you my friend,
Won't you help me get over this now?
- Won't you help me get over this mountain, help me get over this hill.
Help me get over this mountain, help me get over this now. -
I hope I don't embarrass you with all my feelins
I'm only cryin' to you cause I'm not scared.
Well you said you'd be honest, and you'd always be true,
And you said you would see me through...and you would
- Help me get over this mountain, help me get over this hill.
Help me get over this mountain, help me get over this now. -
You gave me a shoulder to lean on, and a path to follow.
You took me to the clearings of this deep dark hollow.
Like some dark forest, you're gonna walk me through
And the next place I stepped, it's the only thing new.
I found answers in the eyes of a young one,
And anceint ones have answered me, too.
While I was searhin' my soul, all the signs that I read,
They seem to direct me to you...they said you'd
- Help me get over this mountain, help me get over this hill.
Help me get over this mountain, help me get over this now.
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.
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

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

Headed South lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Yeah don't you know I'm headed South
I've got two things on my mind
Yeah don't you know I'm headed Southbound
I've got two things on my mind
I need some of that juicy barbeque
and some of the sweet blackberry wine
When I get back to Louisiannie
Lord I think I just might stay
Yeah when I get back to Louisiannie
Lord I think I just might stay
Cause I always get so lonesome
Every time I get away
So you know I'm headed South
I've got two things on my mind
Don't you know I'm headed South
I've got two things on my mind
I need some of the juicy barbeque
And I need some of that sweet blackberry wine
I'm gonna cross that Pontchartrain
On a train, in the rain
Yeah I wanna cross that Pontchartrain
On a train, in the rain
Ain't nothin' more beautiful sweet darlin'
Than that Poncha Tray in the rain
Yeah don't you know I'm headed South
I've got two things on my mind
Yeah don't you know I'm headed Southbound
I've got two things on my mind
I need some of that juicy barbeque
And some of that sweet blackberry wine
I wanna get back to Baton Rouge
Before Winter comes again
I wanna get back to Baton Rouge
Before Winter comes again
I wanna walk down by that river
And cross that muddy river now and then
Yeah don't you know I'm headed South
I've got two things on my mind
Yeah don't you know I'm headed Southbound
I've got two things on my mind
I need some of that juicy barbeque
and some of that sweet blackberry wine
I've got two things on my mind
Yeah don't you know I'm headed Southbound
I've got two things on my mind
I need some of that juicy barbeque
and some of the sweet blackberry wine
When I get back to Louisiannie
Lord I think I just might stay
Yeah when I get back to Louisiannie
Lord I think I just might stay
Cause I always get so lonesome
Every time I get away

Leave Your Leaving lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Today the sun refused to shine
The outside door was closed
I started to think it was in my mind
But it's your leavin I suppose
On the front porch I light a cigarette
Watchin the fire reach for its dying breath
Irony is a funny thing
For that there's no need to explain
Woman set me free
Come down put your love on me
Come back to me one more time
And leave you leavin far behind
Smooth little slide solo
I've lost my mind I'm convinced
The day you left and I ain't seen it since
At least I've still got the use my eyes
To see the truth between your lies
The outside door was closed
I started to think it was in my mind
But it's your leavin I suppose
On the front porch I light a cigarette
Watchin the fire reach for its dying breath
Irony is a funny thing
For that there's no need to explain
Woman set me free
Come down put your love on me
Come back to me one more time
And leave you leavin far behind
Smooth little slide solo
I've lost my mind I'm convinced
The day you left and I ain't seen it since
At least I've still got the use my eyes
To see the truth between your lies
April's Girlfriend lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
I hear shakin' down at that 36 club.
I walked out onto Dixon Street, don't you know I fell in love
With this girl whose name was April.
The drinks were tastin' fine, I knew I had til two o'clock,
I could make her mine.
That's when she walked in...April's girlfriend.
Well ain't that just my luck, two girls give me one heartache.
When they sat down together man, it was more than I could take.
So I picked up my guitar,
I sat there for a moment with my heart down in my shoes
And I caught an evil grin from April's girlfriend.
Well I don't give up that easy, I'll be back again
I'll let her know she moves me with letters that I send
And you better be good, girlfriend and if she change her mind
Be damn sure I'll be creepin' upon you, sneakin' up behind...
April's girlfriend. She ain't my friend, April's girlfriend.
She ain't my friend. No, there ain't no women rounnd here for a
guitar man, no there ain't no woman round here for a guitar man.
I walked out onto Dixon Street, don't you know I fell in love
With this girl whose name was April.
The drinks were tastin' fine, I knew I had til two o'clock,
I could make her mine.
That's when she walked in...April's girlfriend.
Well ain't that just my luck, two girls give me one heartache.
When they sat down together man, it was more than I could take.
So I picked up my guitar,
I sat there for a moment with my heart down in my shoes
And I caught an evil grin from April's girlfriend.
Well I don't give up that easy, I'll be back again
I'll let her know she moves me with letters that I send
And you better be good, girlfriend and if she change her mind
Be damn sure I'll be creepin' upon you, sneakin' up behind...
April's girlfriend. She ain't my friend, April's girlfriend.
She ain't my friend. No, there ain't no women rounnd here for a
guitar man, no there ain't no woman round here for a guitar man.
Sweet Teresa lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Sweet Teresa lay your eyes upon my face
Oh Sweet Teresa lay your hands upon my skin
Why don't you open up your love door Sweet Teresa let me in
Sweet Teresa you brighten up my darkest day
My Sweet Teresa you chase my thunder clouds away
You shelter me from lightning, my blue skies are turned to grey
Well I never known a road so long lead right to your door
Never I known a love like this, not a love like yours
I can't release ya, Sweet Teresa
Baby I'm coming home
Sweet Teresa every star it burns for you
My Sweet Teresa if I could I'd buy the moon
But I'm the richest man I know when I'm standing next to you
You can keep your diamonds you can keep your pearls
Just keep your precious jewelry all I want's my girl
I can't release ya Sweet Teresa
I can't release ya my Sweet Teresa
Baby I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home home home
Oh Sweet Teresa lay your hands upon my skin
Why don't you open up your love door Sweet Teresa let me in
Sweet Teresa you brighten up my darkest day
My Sweet Teresa you chase my thunder clouds away
You shelter me from lightning, my blue skies are turned to grey
Well I never known a road so long lead right to your door

Just keep your precious jewelry all I want's my girl
I can't release ya Sweet Teresa

Baby I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home home home
Go On And Lie lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Roll on cut it off, fit it to the seams
Got a brand new designers shirt so tuck it down in your jeans
Polish up your dancing shoes, how can they refuse
You put your 20 dollars down on Saturday night bull
And the taste of cigarettes never did that much for you
But you light one right after another one because they tell you its so good
Slip into your brand new silver retro mini skirt
Make sure that it matches with the letters on his shirt
[Chorus:]
Go on and lie
If it gets you through the night
Don't even try
Do what you think is right
Its all part of their master plan
They got you in the palm of their greasy hands
Go on and lie
If it gets you through the night
Check out Casanova Joe, one more number for his book
He stepped to every entire prom queen she's sendin' him that look
He promises her all kinds of diamonds, He promised her brand new clothes
He'd give her the world on a silver dollar but he blew it all up his nose
[Chorus]
Got a brand new designers shirt so tuck it down in your jeans

Slip into your brand new silver retro mini skirt
Make sure that it matches with the letters on his shirt

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
Proud Souls lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Got drunk by myself last night
& they say that's no way to make things right
I just didn't have anything better to do
The dog was asleep on the living room rug
And I watched a show about a crime of drugs
Punished a bottle of bourbon until it was through
I don't care that I can't sleep
I'd just as soon stay up all week
Might get some things done while others dream
The heater broke and the room got cold
And my knees and ankles say I'm getting older
The phone finally rang but it wasn't for me
[Chorus:]
If everyone should be together
I guess no one would be alone
That's a lot of tradeoffs in the end
Somewhere in the fields of heaven
Proud Souls laugh and love together
Some where between passion and losing friends
Sleep finally came but I woke up alone
And my head was next to the telephone
A gave the sun a cussing as I drew the shade
One thing that seems always true
When I'm hung over the sky is blue
A rough night for me makes a hell of a day
I believe in ghost and democracy
And that each man should leave his legacy
That mans work great or be it small
But I don't believe in everything
Like the designated hitter, or that diamond rings
Can make love last for ever for one and all
[Chorus:]
[Repeat] Somewhere between passion and losing friends
& they say that's no way to make things right
I just didn't have anything better to do
The dog was asleep on the living room rug
And I watched a show about a crime of drugs
Punished a bottle of bourbon until it was through
I don't care that I can't sleep
I'd just as soon stay up all week
Might get some things done while others dream
The heater broke and the room got cold
And my knees and ankles say I'm getting older
The phone finally rang but it wasn't for me
[Chorus:]
If everyone should be together
I guess no one would be alone
That's a lot of tradeoffs in the end
Somewhere in the fields of heaven
Proud Souls laugh and love together
Some where between passion and losing friends
Sleep finally came but I woke up alone
And my head was next to the telephone
A gave the sun a cussing as I drew the shade
One thing that seems always true
When I'm hung over the sky is blue
A rough night for me makes a hell of a day
I believe in ghost and democracy
And that each man should leave his legacy
That mans work great or be it small
But I don't believe in everything
Like the designated hitter, or that diamond rings
Can make love last for ever for one and all
[Chorus:]
[Repeat] Somewhere between passion and losing friends
Untitled Hidden Track lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
There's people in your life,
Who want you to be what they only dreamed to be.
There's people in your life,
Who put you down because you have a simple dream.
They say you'll never be,
Nothing but a ship without a sea.
There's people in your eyes,
Who walk through hell for you,
'Cause you would do the same.
Come face to face with Satan,
And embrace with the flames.
And those who have stood by me,
Ever do I owe!
For believing what I believe,
From the deepest of my soul!
To the highest of the mountains,
To the deepest of the sea!
How much that I thank you,
Always being there for me.
And to those who said 'Never',
Won't and don't try,
Watch me as I spread my wings,
And aim up for the sky!
There is nothing you can't do,
If you really want to live!
For I believe if you do not dream,
You never truly live...
And to all of those who have this dream,
Just the same as I,
Don't let someone shoot you down,
Let your future die.
For when our ship is bound for shore,
We'll be there by the sea...
Waiting for our treasure chest of fantasies and dreams.
Yeah when our ship is bound for shore,
We'll be there by the sea...
Waiting for our treasure chest of fantasies and dreams.
