Without You 04:44
Never thought, you wouldn’t be here with me Not something, I thought I’d ever see When I heard that you got sick Like a candle without a wick My life would be so dark, without you Without you, there’d be no you and me Without you, I’m not sure what I’d be It’s hard to hide the tears When I think I might be here Without you, without you Don’t want you, to leave me all alone Call you but you won’t pick up the phone Need you right here next to me, Need you right here can’t you see That I would be a wreck, without you Without you, there’d be no you and me Without you, I’m not sure what I’d be It’s hard to hide the tears When I think I might be here Without you, without you [Lead] Without you, there’d be no you and me Without you, I’m not sure what I’d be It’s hard to hide the tears When I think I might be here Without you, without you If you leave, I’ll drink a little more If you leave, I’ll wait here by the door For you to come back to me, Oh baby can’t you see This house is not a home, without you Without you, there’d be no you and me Without you, I’m not sure what I’d be It’s hard to hide the tears When I think I might be here Without you, without you Without you, without you Without you, without

Walnut Lane 03:56
Looks like any other tree lined street We knew what was going on behind the scenes Come on bye any time of day See you coming, a mile away Rich white kids cross the county line Looking to score another dime Up to the window give you three to go Another little secret that the folks won’t know Just took a ride down to Walnut Lane When I drove bye it still looked the same Reminds of all the things we used to do Take your money and they’d run inside Back with the baggie, you’re ready to fly Seems back then we had a different point of view Ten bucks gets you all that you need Don’t have to worry about a mouth to feed Glad you’re not on the other side No idea what it’s like to survive Street like this near every hood Kids not doing what they should Dealin’ right there in broad daylight Never seemed to be a cop in sight Just took a ride down to Walnut Lane When I drove bye it still looked the same Reminds of all the things we used to do Take your money and they’d run inside Back with the baggie, you’re ready to fly Seems back then we had a different point of view [Lead] Just took a ride down to Walnut Lane When I drove bye it still looked the same Reminds of all the things we used to do Take your money and they’d run inside Back with the baggie, you’re ready to fly Seems back then we had a different point of view Just took a ride down to Walnut Lane When I drove bye it still looked the same Reminds of all the things we used to do Take your money and they’d run inside Back with the baggie, you’re ready to fly Seems back then we had a different point of view

Natalie 05:16
Beauty queen Always made a scene In later years still beating back the men Doting wife Long rich life Guess good things always have to end Where have you gone my Natalie Left behind are your paintings and memories Where have you gone my Natalie Left behind are your paintings and memories Came back home To northeast cold Ended up all for the best Snow fell down In her hometown On the day they paid their last respects Where have you gone my Natalie Left behind are your paintings and memories Where have you gone my Natalie Left behind are your paintings and memories Things seemed to change Forgetting names Didn't want to be a sorry sight Things seemed to change Forgetting names In the end she'd given up the fight [Lead] Where have you gone my Natalie Left behind are your paintings and memories Where have you gone my Natalie Left behind are your paintings and memories

Call Me Up 04:29
He’s got two grandkids That he never sees He’s been gone for so long; He don’t remember me Got a bitch of a wife An old badilac Should have traded her in On a Cadillac Can’t say I miss him, I don’t care I’m 20 years older with a lot of grey hair Maybe I’ll regret it on the day he dies Can’t really worry if he won’t try….to call….me up People knew him once Many years ago When he was on Some big TV show Well his mamma cries That he’ll come back When he’s lonely and lost In his two room shack Can’t say I miss him, I don’t care I’m 20 years older with a lot of grey hair Maybe I’ll regret it on the day he dies Can’t really worry if he won’t try….to call….me up [Lead] Can’t say I miss him, I don’t care I’m 20 years older with a lot of grey hair Maybe I’ll regret it on the day he dies Can’t really worry if he won’t try….to call….me up

Black Bart 04:14
I've labored long and hard for bread, For honor, and for riches, But on my corns too long you've tread, You fine-haired sons of bitches Started as a miner Riches he couldn’t find Known to friends as Charley Before his life of crime Black Bart’s what they’d call him But he didn’t seem the part Always please and thank you No killing in his heart I've labored long and hard for bread, For honor, and for riches, But on my corns too long you've tread, You fine-haired sons of bitches He made Wells Fargo pay For the wrong that they had done Stagecoach robbing poet Never shot a gun Six years in San Quentin Out early for good time New York or Montana? Never paid back a dime I've labored long and hard for bread, For honor, and for riches, But on my corns too long you've tread, You fine-haired sons of bitches I've labored long and hard for bread, For honor, and for riches, But on my corns too long you've tread, You fine-haired sons of bitches [Lead] I've labored long and hard for bread, For honor, and for riches, But on my corns too long you've tread, You fine-haired sons of bitches I've labored long and hard for bread, For honor, and for riches, But on my corns too long you've tread, You fine-haired sons of bitches Here I lay me down to sleep To wait the coming morrow, Perhaps success, perhaps defeat, And everlasting sorrow I've labored long and hard for bread, For honor, and for riches, But on my corns too long you've tread, You fine-haired sons of bitches

Apologize 04:06
Sister tried to help him boy, couldn’t get it right Little thing turns into a, big old nasty fight Pa flies off the deep end, can’t control the rage Needs to get some help, time to turn the page Gets so frustrated, by the things he’ll do Don’t want nothing bad, to ever come on you He wants to be good, wants to change his ways Wants to hold back, the bad things that he’ll say Says he can’t control it, we shouldn’t be surprised Never too late to say: “I apologize” Taking two steps forward, taking three steps back Seems he’s never able, to keep himself on track Hears the train coming, like Johnny in that song Thinks he’ll try to jump it, time to move along Something not quite right, not sure what it is Try to figure out the answer to the quiz There’s a mouse in the kitchen, a monkey on his back Needs a little help, to put the wheels on track Every time you act that way, it seems to get a rise It’s never too late to say: “I apologize” We apologize, we apologize, etc. [Lead] Don’t need no distractions, nothing in your way Have to keep reminding you, almost every day Not sure that your crazy, we’ll try and get it right Lying here thinking ‘bout you almost every night Something not quite right, not sure what it is Try to figure out the answer to the quiz There’s a mouse in the kitchen, a monkey on his back Needs a little help, to put the wheels on track Says he can’t control it, we shouldn’t be surprised Never too late to say: “I apologize” Every time you act that way, it seems to get a rise It’s never too late to say: “I apologize” You take a little problem, and make it Supersized It’s never too late to say: “I apologize”

He sat behind the drum kit Made everybody smile Liked heavy metal music Drivin’ young girls wild Never saw the headlights As he pulled into the lane Only seconds later He’d never play again The day the drummer died Everybody cried Everybody cried The day the drummer died They all came for the funeral To pay their last respects Line around the block Biggest crowd yet Put him in the ground Drumsticks in his hand Say he’s up there playing In heaven in a band The day the drummer died Everybody cried Everybody cried The day the drummer died The day the drummer died Everybody cried Everybody cried The day the drummer died [Lead] They still talk about him He would have been a star If he didn’t get behind The wheel of that car Put him in the ground Drumsticks in his hand They say he’s up there playing In heaven in a band

Baby Boots 02:59
Walk in with ‘em on Always get a stare Wonder where you got ‘em Can I get a pair Still good as new, Like time has past ‘em by Never take them off til the day I die Ain’t no better pair I could choose Still like the fit of my Baby Boots Look at em the wrong way, I’d recon I’d shoot Stay away from my Baby Boots Saw her as a boy Knew I’d make her mine When I had others Thought about her all the time Everywhere I looked I never found no better Had to make sure I would get her Ain’t no better pair I could choose Still like the look of my Baby Boots Look at em the wrong way, I’d recon I’d shoot Stay away from my Baby Boots Don’t make them like they use to Can’t find them in a store Had her 20 years Good for 20 more When I’m gone and buried She’ll be deep inside my soul But until that time Wear ‘em til I’m old Ain’t no better pair I could choose Still like the fit of my Baby Boots Look at em the wrong way, I’d recon I’d shoot Stay away from my Baby Boots Ain’t no better pair I could choose Still like the look of my Baby Boots Look at em the wrong way, I’d recon I’d shoot Stay away from my Baby Boots

She’s got no money and she’s got no friends Not sure how this story ends Sittin’ by the highway with a cardboard sign Asks me brother can you spare a dime? Only 18 but she’s got no home How it came to this we’ll never know Do her parents know where she sleeps at night? Have you ever seen such a sorry sight? Beggin’ for mercy on a cardboard sign Asks me brother Can you spare a dime? Not the type of homeless you always see Lovely daughter out on the streets Pretty face shines through the grime Asks me brother can you spare a dime? Traffic moves on and passed her by Does she want to eat or just get high? Same old story told a million times Asks me brother can you spare a dime? Beggin’ for mercy on a cardboard sign Asks me brother Can you spare a dime? Beggin’ for mercy on a cardboard sign Asks me brother Can you spare a dime? [Lead] Only 18 but she’s got no home How it came to this we’ll never know Do her parents know where she sleeps at night? Have you ever seen such a sorry sight? Not the type of homeless you always see Lovely daughter out on the streets Pretty face shines through the grime Asking me brother can you spare a dime? Beggin’ for mercy on a cardboard sign Asks me brother Can you spare a dime? Beggin’ for mercy on a cardboard sign Asks me brother Can you spare a dime?
