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]
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.
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.

And who needs that on their back?

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.)
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

You bring me up
I bring you down
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

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

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
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
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

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]

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
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

You just might see my face

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
Before it gets way out of control

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

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.

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

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

and I don't care how far you roam
I don't care if you never come home

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 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

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

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
42 Miles lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
42 more miles
This stuff it cramps my style
Broke down on the side of the road
A thousand flies a buzzin'
Sittin', spittin', and cussin'
Sittin' on top of our load
[Chorus]
If I ever get out of this hole
If I ever get down the road
I got 42 miles to go
5:30 in the evening
Mechanic phone a ringin'
Is he ever gonna fix our ride
You know I ain't bitchin', but bad news is all I'm getting'
Just need a little luck on my side
[Chorus]
That fire siren screamin'
Still I'm not believin'
That much goes on in this town
You know if I had the chance I'd do a chicken dance
After I watched it burn to the ground
[Chorus]
This stuff it cramps my style
Broke down on the side of the road
A thousand flies a buzzin'
Sittin', spittin', and cussin'
Sittin' on top of our load
[Chorus]
If I ever get out of this hole
If I ever get down the road
I got 42 miles to go
5:30 in the evening
Mechanic phone a ringin'
Is he ever gonna fix our ride
You know I ain't bitchin', but bad news is all I'm getting'
Just need a little luck on my side
[Chorus]
That fire siren screamin'
Still I'm not believin'
That much goes on in this town
You know if I had the chance I'd do a chicken dance
After I watched it burn to the ground
[Chorus]
One Of These Days lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
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]
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

Left me here with a load of blues to sing

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
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

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
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

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
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]
The President Song lyrics - Cross Canadian Ragweed
Oh if I were President
I'd make you realize
no more question's no more lies
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
you're gonna talk to when your day begins
I'm gonna pass the law that says everyday
you gotta get down on your knees and pray
thank a man for dyin for you sins.
If I were president
I'd make you understand
Jesus is the man he's the reason that you stand
If I were president.
We're gonna put the word out on the street
no more Washington D.C.,
I'm gonna make this country big and strong
no more payin up your taxes
the capitol's in Fort Worth, Texas;
thats the only place a house that big belongs
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
your diggin yourself deeper in a rut
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
your sorry ass is gonna die
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,
we'll put down our 'nukes put down our guns
and you and the Duke 'ul be 1-on-1
and he'll kick your ass if you were a man.
If I were president
If I were president
If you don't like Willie Nelson
you gotta go to prision
If I were president
So cashible and make it me an' if I win the beer's free
If I were president.
I'd make you realize
no more question's no more lies
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
you're gonna talk to when your day begins
I'm gonna pass the law that says everyday

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
