You know I don't ask no questions
You know I don't compromise
The winds can change direction
Shouldn't come as no surprise
You know I don't ask forgiveness
You just look long in my eyes
My love don't need inspection
Or a reason to say goodbye
When the train has left the station
And your days are filled with rain
When your morning light begins to fade
Just let my blues take your blues away
My heart reads like an open book
And now you've got to turn a page
When the years and the tears and the love and the fears
Got you lost along the way
And the train has left the station
Heading to an empty home
When your will to live begins to fade
Let my blues take your blues away
When the train has left the station
And your days are filled with rain
When your morning light begins to fade
Just let my blues take your blues away

Fell In Mud

I fell in mud and I don't care
I've got long brown streaks running through my hair
You can call my name, say it twice
I'm gonna roll me a number then pay the price
I fell in mud in my blue jeans
Now my whole life is falling apart at the seams
It's one step forward, two steps back
I'm gonna keep on truckin' till my days go black
I fell in mud on my birthday
But I won't slow down until I'm in my grave
If I live another day the truth be told
We ain't got nothing but a body and soul
I fell in mud on my way home
Now the keys don't fit my lock no more
I'd cry all night but I don't mind
I gotta a sweat bottom girl who's gonna treat me right
I fell in mud
I fell in mud

Lit

It's been a long hard week my friend
I barely made it to the end
All this working and slaving is never enough
I'm just doing what I can
I'm doing what I can
Because I came here trouble in mind
By the sweat of my brow
I gotta stay lit somehow
I gotta stay lit somehow
Can't scrape this dirt from my shoes
And all my friends they were born to lose
All that fussing and fighting and carrying on
I gotta cut this poor boy lose
I gotta cut this poor boy lose
Because I came here trouble in mind
By the sweat of my brow
I gotta stay lit somehow
I gotta stay lit somehow
So let's roll up one more time
Until we find that peace of mind
We're not ragging or restless or coming unglued
I wanna know are you kind?
I wanna know are you kind?
Because I came here trouble in mind
Wipe the sweat off my brow
I gotta stay lit somehow
I gotta stay lit somehow
I gotta stay lit somehow
I gotta stay lit somehow

Well I've been down this road so long my clothes are tattered and torn
Sometimes I feel like I've had enough and I can't go on no more
No I can't go on no more
Then I pick up my ol' guitar and the notes they come out right
I can feel the love from the stars above on this long and endless night
On this long and endless night
But baby I'm not crazy don't you know?
Hey hey the people like me better when I'm stoned
And the people like me better when I'm
Sometimes I stare at the lonely walls and the tears they fall like rain
There's an ocean in my mind it seams that loves the pleasure and pain
It loves the pleasure and pain
Well you know I love them fallen leaves and the forest in your eyes
I get low down and you pick me up
And we hang out in the sky
Yeah we hang out in the sky
But baby you're not crazy don't you know
Hey hey the people like me better when I'm stoned
And the people like me better when I'm
That's right!
Well maybe we're just crazy don't you know?
Hey hey the people like me better when I'm stoned
And the people like me better when I'm stoned
The people like me better when I'm stoned
