Silver Wings

Silver wings
Shining in the sunlight
Roaring engines
Headed somewhere in flight
They're taking you away
And leaving me lonely
Silver wings
Slowly fading out of sight
Don't leave me, I cried
Don't take that airplane ride
But you locked me out of your mind
And left me standing here behind
Silver wings
Shining in the sunlight
Roaring engines
Headed somewhere in flight
They're taking you away
And leaving me lonely
Silver wings
Slowly fading out of sight
Silver wings
Shining in the sunlight
Roaring engines
Headed somewhere in flight
They're taking you away
And leaving me lonely
Silver wings
Slowly fading out of sight
Slowly fading out of sight

O.D.'d in Denver
03:47
|
|||
|
We started the tour out in Denver Colorado
I made the first one but I did not make the second show
'Cause I met this girl there that brought about quite a big change
But I OD'd in Denver and I just can't remember her name
I guess you could say that my love life would not up to part
Too many nights alone had left some permanent scars
She told me she'd love me and I told her I'd do the same
Then I OD'd in Denver and I just can't remember her name
I brought it on myself and I guess that I shouldn't complain
Doc said, "Son, you can't do anymore of that cocaine"
But she made me higher than all of those expensive things
But I OD'd in Denver and wish I could remember her name
I turned to other things tryin' to make my daydreams real
But they don't take the place of the woman's face and her feels
She treated me nice and I'd like to find her again
But I OD'd in Denver and I just can't remember her name
Yeah, I brought it on myself and I guess that I shouldn't complain
Be damned if I'll ever do any more of that cocaine
But she made me higher than all of those expensive things
But I OD'd in Denver and I just can't remember her name
Kinda overdid it in Denver and I just can't remember her name

Everything That Glitters
04:25
|
|||
|
Saw your picture on a poster, in a cafe out in Phoenix
Guess you're still the sweet heart of the rodeo
As for me and little Casey, we still make the circuit
In a one horse trailer and a mobile home
And she still asks about you all the time
And I guess we never even cross your mind
But oh sometimes I think about you
And the way you used to ride out
In your rhinestones and your sequins
With the sunlight on your hair
And oh the crowd will always love you
But as for me I've come to know
Everything that glitters is not gold
Well old Red he's getting older, and last Saturday he stumbled
But you know I just can't bear to let him go
Little Casey she's still growing and she's started asking questions
And there's certain things a man just doesn't know
Her birthday came and you never even called
I guess we never cross your mind at all
But then sometimes I think about you
And the way you used to ride out
In your rhinestones and your sequins
With the sunlight on your hair
And oh the crowd will always love you
But as for me I've come to know
Everything that glitters is not gold
Everybody said you'd make it big someday
And I guess that we were only in your way
But someday I'm sure your gonna know the cost
Cause for everything you win there's something lost
But oh sometimes I think about you
And the way you used to ride out
In your rhinestones and your sequins
With the sunlight on your hair
And oh the crowd will always love you
But as for me I've come to know
Everything that glitters is not gold

Miami My Amy
03:19
|
|||
|
Well, everybody talks about the California quakes
But the first time I ever felt the earth shake
Was in Miami
When Amy touched me
Aw, it shook me
I told her I loved her and I wanted to stay
But she said, "Be sure, and I'll call you in L.A."
Even in the taxi
I could hear my telephone ring
Calling me from Miami
My Amy
What took you so long
I thought you'd never call
Miami, my Amy
Miami, my Amy loved me after all
Now Amy just called and said, "Please come back"
I said, "I'm on my way babe, I ain't even unpacked"
"I want you, I love you", that's all she had to say
Good-bye L.A.
Now once again I'm Miami bound
Can't wait 'til this plane touches down
Because I know my Amy will be waiting
At that Miami gate
I can't wait
Miami, my Amy
What took you so long I thought you'd never call
Miami, oh, my Amy
Miami, my Amy loves me after all
Miami, my Amy loves me after all

She Thinks I Still Care
03:42
|
|||
|
[Verse 1]
Just because I ask a friend about her
Just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just because I rang her number by mistake today
She thinks I still care
[Verse 2]
Just because I haunt the same old places
Where the memory of her lingers everywhere
Just because I'm not the happy guy I used to be
She thinks I still care
[Bridge]
But if she's happy thinking I still need her
Then let that silly notion bring her cheer
But how could she ever be so foolish
Oh where would she get such an idea
[Verse 3]
Just because I ask a friend about her
And just because I spoke her name somewhere
Just because I saw her then went all to pieces
She thinks I still care, she thinks I still care

An Empty Glass
05:12

An empty glass
That last cigarette
It's closing time
And I'm drunk again
But somehow I'll make it home
And cry myself to sleep
That's how my day ends
Every night for me
Every night I'm in some bar
Pouring whiskey on a heart that's on fire
Forgetting you is no easy thing
Each night for me always ends the same
With an empty glass
That last cigarette
It's closing time
And I'm drunk again
But somehow I'll make it home
And cry myself to sleep
That's how my day ends
Every night for me
Every night I'm in some bar
Pouring whiskey on a heart that's on fire
Forgetting you is no easy thing
Each night for me always ends the same
With an empty glass
That last cigarette
It's closing time
And I'm drunk again
But somehow I'll make it home
And cry myself to sleep
That's how my day ends
Every night for me.
Yeah, that's how my day ends
Every night for me

Rollin' With The Flow
02:38
|
|||
|
Once was a thought inside my head
'Fore I'd reach 30 I'd be dead
Now somehow on and on I go
I keep on rollin' with the flow
Folks said that I would change my mind
I'd straighten up and do just fine
Ahh, but I still love rock 'n' roll
And I keep on rollin' with the flow (keep on rollin' with the flow)
While guys my age are raising kids
I'm raisin' hell just like I did
I've got a lot of crazy friends
And they forgive me of my sins
Some might be callin' me a bum
But I'm still out there havin' fun
And Jesus loves me, yes, I know
So, I keep on rollin' with the flow (keep on rollin' with the flow)
While guys my age are raising kids
Well I'm raisin' hell just like I did
I've got a lot of crazy friends
And they forgive me of my sins
Can't take it with you when you're gone
But I want enough to get there on
And I ain't ever growin' old
So, I keep on rollin' with the flow (keep on rollin' with the flow)
Keep on rollin' with the flow
Just keep on rollin' with the flow (keep on rollin' with the flow)
Keep on rollin' with the flow (keep on rollin', keep on rollin')
Keep on rollin' with the flow (keep on rollin', keep on rollin')
Just keep on rollin' with the flow

It's not supposed to be that way
You're supposed to know that I love you
But it don't matter anyway
If I can't be there to control you
Like the other little children
You're gonna dream a dream or two
But be careful what you're dreamin'
Or soon your dreams'll be dreamin' you
It's not supposed to be that way
You're supposed to know that I love you
But it don't matter anyway
If I can't be there to console you
When you go out to play this evenin'
Play with fireflies 'till they're gone
Then you rush to meet your lover
And play with real fire 'till the dawn
But it's not supposed to be that way
You're supposed to know that I love you
But it don't matter anyway
If I can't be there to console you
When you go out to play this evenin'
Play with fireflies 'till they're gone
And then you rush to meet your lover
And play with real fire 'till the dawn
But it's not supposed to be that way
You're supposed to know that I love you
But it don't matter anyway
If I can't be there to console you

Seven Year Ache
03:05
|
|||
|
You act like you were just born tonight
Face down in a memory but feeling all right
So, who does your past belong to today?
Baby, you don't say nothing when you're feeling this way
Girls in the bars thinking who is this guy
But they don't think nothing when they're telling you lies
You look so careless when they're shooting that bull
Don't you know heartaches are heroes when their pockets are full
Tell me you're trying to cure a seven-year ache
See what else your old heart can take
Boys say, "When is he gonna give us some room"
The girls say, "God, I hope he comes back soon"
And everybody's talking but you don't hear a thing
You're still uptown on your downhill swing
The boulevard's empty, why don't you come around?
Baby, what is so great about sleeping downtown?
There's plenty of dives to be someone you're not
Just say you're looking for something you might have forgot
Don't bother calling to say you're leaving alone
'Cause there's a fool on every corner when you're trying to get home
Just tell 'em you're trying to cure a seven-year ache
See what else your old heart can take
Boys say, "When is he gonna give us some room"
But the girls say, "God, I hope he comes back soon"
Tell me you're trying to cure a seven-year ache
See what else your old heart can take
Boys say, "When is he gonna give us some room"
The girls say, "God, I hope he comes back soon"

Seminole Wind
03:46
|
|||
|
Ever since the days of old
Men would search for wealth untold
They'd dig for silver and for gold
And leave the empty holes
And way down south in the Everglades
Where the black water rolls and the saw grass waves
The eagles fly and the otters play in the land of the Seminole
So blow, blow Seminole wind
Blow like you're never gonna blow again
I'm calling to you like a long-lost friend
But I know who you are
And blow, blow from the Okeechobee
All the way up to Micanopy
Blow across the home of the Seminole
The alligators and the gar
And progress came and took its toll
And in the name of flood control
They made their plans and they drained the land
Now the glades are going dry
And the last time I walked in the swamp
I sat upon a Cypress stump
I listened close and I heard the ghost of Osceola cry
So blow, blow Seminole wind
Blow like you're never gonna blow again
I'm calling to you like a long-lost friend
But I know who you are
And blow, blow from the Okeechobee
All the way up to Micanopy
Blow across the home of the Seminole
The alligators and the gar

Much Too Young
03:46

This ol' highway's getting longer
Seems there ain't no end in sight
To sleep would be best, but I just can't afford to rest
I've got to ride in Denver tomorrow night
I called the house but no one answered
For the last two weeks no one's been home
I guess she's through with me, to tell the truth I just can't see
What's kept the woman holding on this long
And the white line's getting longer and the saddle's getting cold
I'm much too young to feel this damn old
All my cards are on the table with no ace left in the hole
I'm much too young to feel this damn old
The competition's getting younger
Tougher broncs, you know I can't recall
The worn out tape of Chris LeDoux, lonely women and bad booze
Seem to be the only friends I've left at all
And the white line's getting longer and the saddle's getting cold
I'm much too young to feel this damn old
All my cards are on the table with no ace left in the hole
I'm much too young to feel this damn old
Lord, I'm much too young to feel this damn old
