1. RIVERSIDE

Down by the riverside
Where I quench my thirst
I saw a man commit his blood and semen
To the earth

So drink the water turned into wine
Open wide and let the lort inside
When all your holes are filled my friend
The faithh of the lord will keep you free from sin

Your're all sheep man!
Don't need to think for yourselves
Your're all sheep man!
Yeah

I've been to heaven
I've been to hell
Three times there and back
And bitch I've got stories to tell

This heaven place
It aint no place fore me man
When I would rather go down, down


2. MY DADDY'S LAND

The children have gone hungry
Jesus left this land

And in our darkest hour
We took the devil's hand

Sex, drugs and whiskey
Women and some wine
We danced to that rock 'n roll music
Oh lord we were feelin fine

The devil gave me five lines
Did them on my daddy's cadillac

Mama said, son your skin might be white
But goddamn, your soul sure is black

This town aint got no border
No religion, law and order
The devil and his daughter
They stole my daddy's land


3. DOWN'N OUT

Mr trump could you spare me some change
I need a drink and I wanna go home
I got no real ambition, faith or superstition
I lost it all a long time ago

I've taken every chance and played in many band
Worked my fingers to the bone
Knocked on many doors
And scrubbed a lot of floors
Paid my dues but still I'm all alone

Been to many places
Seen a million faces
Ain't no place that I aint never gone

Had my share of failed romances
Don't always pay my taxes
Not always proud of what I've done

Don't care much for religion
Or have time for politicians
Theyre only gonna let you down

Theyve taken so much money
Wasted so much time
While the rest of us are left to die

I'm down 'n out
But I guess I'm doin fine
I'm down 'n out
Aint it good to be alive
I'm down 'n out
Another place another time
I'm down 'n out my friends but ill survive
Down 'n out

Oh the towers will collide
Don't need no one to cleanse my soul
And the black waters will rise
We're in the same boat now

I'm still alive
I'm still alive
I'm still alive


4. MEATHOOK SHUFFLE

Long way from home
Gonna pick you up
Gonna treat you fine yea

Take you to my place
Cause I like your face
Gonna make you mine yea

Gonna end your life
Cut you with my knife
Gonna cross the line yea

Oh lord, watch your back
I'm out for the attack
I can't believe
What this world's done to me
And now theyre calling me insane

Voices in my head
They all want you dead
Screaming in my mind yea
To make the nightmare's end
Blood has to be shed
It 'll happen again yea


5. ONLY LOVE HER WHEN SHE'S GONE

She takes me down to the river
She takes me down down down
She takes all the love that I give her
I love her hidden place
She loves to watch me drown drown drown

And I feel like coming home
Cause I only love her when she's gone

And I went down to the crossroad
Yeah I went down down down
Yea I wen't down to the crossroad
I fell down on my knees, oh help me Satan
If you please

And I feel like coming home
Cause I only love her when she's gone

You got a hellhound on your trail
and so there's nothing more to say
And I feel like coming home
Cause I only love her when she's gone


6. BORN TO ROAM

I fell by the wayside as my friends moved ahead
Life kept on changing and I kept pulling through
Got no business, I aint got no degree
Nothing's ever been plain to me

I'm taking all that I can get
Ill stake it all on a single bet

If I have to I'd lie and steal
If I have to I'd cheat and Kill

You're speaking to a man with no home

I've slep in hotels, passed out in the streets
Rode ruste horses, drank in limousines

There aint no damn thing I regret
Not all the women I would coose to forget

Lord knows Ive had to lie and steal
I won't think twice to cheat or kill

Youre speaking to a man with no home

Just like I told you before
You know I was born to roam
Just like I told you before
I am a man with no home
Jist like I told you before


7. ACT OF GOAT

Gin whiskey
You know it frees me
I ain't one of them folk of sobriety

You got no balls son
You better get some
You wanna fight boy
I think you found one

Well you been here before
And you should have known better
Than to come here again


8. WILD TURKEY

Jumpin on the next train
I'm gonna leave this place
Gonna live off the good land
I'm gonna get undressed

I'm movin out
Of the city
Movin out of town so the man cant take no more
Of my time

Cause when your time is up
Man youre out of luck
You know youre done

All I need's a Wild turkey
And this here old guitar
Don't take much to make me happy
Just keep the tax man far

Every time I get a little time to myself
Come along the man and try to bracke that spell
Every time I get a little time alone
Come along the man he try to snatch my bone

So I said:
You man, aint gonna hold me down
And I said
No man, cause I won't stick around


9. MOUNTAIN MAN

Trap me a beaver man
Cook me a bear
Drink a lot of liquor
Curse and swear

Run through the woods
As I howl in the air
Drag me a woman to my lair

I like my whiskey
And I love my beer
Don't trust a man dont grow no beard

If you come across my rowdy ways
You will recognize me and youll know my name

I'm a mountain man
Mountain man, is what I am
Mountain man

In the night when the mountain sleeps
Feeds a man that the mountain breeds
He kills more than he ever needs
And in his wake he sows his seeds


10. BAD MAN

Tell everyone about him
Tell everyone you know
Bad man is back in town and
If you're smart I think you'd go

Well you know he won't be knocking
So you'd better lock your door
While this band keeps on playin
You aint safe in your own home

He aint had a night of sleep yet
Since he crawled out of that hole
This aint blood inside his veins man
Where he spits nothing grows

If the brandy river's flowin
I won't be left out on the shore
While this band keeps on playin
You aint' safe in your owh home


11. NOTHING

Oh won't you help me
I've got nothing in this world
Oh please, please lead me
Down the road that leads me home

I've been down so long I know I don't belong here
Every day I'm singking deeper down below
If I knew your god I'm sure I'd pray to him as well
But for now this bottle's gonna save my soul

Oh lord help me
I've got nothing in this world
Oh please, please lead me
Down the road that leads me home

Yeah I've left my home but now I'm longing
And I know I burned my bridges long ago
But is there no-one left here beside me
Cause I don't wanna have to walk this road alone


12. ZAMALEK

I'm gonna find me some good lovin
Oh find a girl who loves to play
But if I want some fun then man I gota pay

I know I've got lots of buddies
I know Ill never be alone
But they're never the same cause they just come and go

I'm in an awful state I feel like hell
A goddamn livin wreck
So tonight it's just me
And my Zamalek

And I aint even got no money
And I can't even pay my bills
In a dead end job down the same old road again

So there I was all by my lonesome
Minding my own business one night when all of a sudden out of nowhere
Came the preacher man, preacher man says to me
Now lookie here boy, you know you gotta lay off the women and the boozin
And the boozin and the women if you know what's good for you
So I says, yea I know exactly what's good for me goddamn, if you know
What's good for you, you'd better leave me be, and with that he was on his way

So anyway, the next day I wen't to see the doctor man, uh, on account of
I was pissing blood you see, so he gives me a dirty look up and down
And he says to me: now lookie here boy, you know you gotta lay off the women and the boozin
And the boozin and the women if you know what's good for you
We'll I don't go to that doctor no more, cause I know what't good for me
Yea some good liquor gonna carry me down, so tonight it's just me, ek and my zamalek

My zamalek!
