1. ELECTRIC MAN

I don't know,I don't know such a girl
I don't know that I'm back and you want to stay
I don't know, I don't when I'm searching pain
I believe I wanna take you the Promised Land
Take you to the Promised Land
To the Promised Land
I wanna take you to the Promised Land

Cause I'm electric,yes I am
I'm electric, I'm the electric man
I don't know,I don't know such a girl
I don't know, I don't when I'm searching pain
I believe I wanna take you to the Sugar Shack
I'll take you to the Sugar Shack
Take you to the Sugar Shack
I'm gonna take you to the Sugar Shack

Cause I'm electric,yes I am
I'm electric, I'm the electric man
I'm electric,yes I am
I'm electric, I'm the electric man
I'm the electric man,electric man
Electric man,electric man
I'm your electric man
Electric man
I'm electric

I'm electric,yes I am
I'm electric, I'm your electric man
I'm electric,yes I am
I'm electric, I'm your electric man
I'm your electric man,electric man
Electric man, electric man
Electric


2. GOOD LUCK

Are you gonna go
Or stand in the doorway all night?
If you're so unhappy, baby
I'm sorry I wasted your time

But you didn't know that
I'd let you go without a fight
Well, its gonna hurt right now
but later you wont even cross my mind

Oh its so hard
All I got to say is
Good luck, good luck baby getting on without me
Good luck, good luck baby but you're gonna be sorry

What can I say
You got one foot out the door
If you're so unhappy baby I'm sorry my kisses got old
Day after day there's something that I can't ignore
Night after night I offer my body and you leave me cold

Oh its so hard
All I got to say is
Good luck, good luck baby getting on without me
Good luck, good luck baby but you're gonna be sorry

Good luck, good luck baby getting on without me
Good luck, good luck baby but you're gonna be sorry

Oh its so hard
All I got to say is
Good luck, good luck baby getting on without me
Good luck, good luck baby but you're gonna be sorry

Good luck, good luck baby getting on without me
Good luck, good luck baby but you're gonna be sorry

Oh its so hard...


3. SECRET

Waiting for a cold night
Cold, but nobody else can see[?]
And if I still wanna go
I'll beg by your soul - waiting and pushes for me

I'm gonna tell you a secret
I'm gonna tell you a secret
And I know you're gonna keep it

Good passed out two leaves on the stove
And the water is dark and deep
And don't get too cold
With your [?] weighin' that deep water for me

I'm gonna tell you a secret
I'm gonna tell you a secret
And I know you're gonna keep it
Lemme tell you a secret
And I know

Gonna bust your grave, your
I owe you oh I luv you
Burn the sit from your father
Bring me a job full of shadow
Wait in the bushes for me

I'm gonna tell you a secret
I'm gonna tell you a secret
And I know you're gonna keep it
Lemme tell you a secret
And I know


4. PLAY THE FOOL

It took a while before I figure it out
Don't wait the girls talk all bout the school
I step around through all of my doubts
But then you weapon above the golden moon

Uuh, you know I play the fool
Uuh, you know I play the fool

Well I'm a man and a man ain't gotta cry
Well the boys talk all bout the school
I got inside you when you took me for a ride
You was almost chill and now bent all

Uuh, you know I play the fool
Uuh, you know I play the fool
Uuh, you know I play the fool
Uuh, you know I play the fool
Yeah play the fool

Uuh, you know I play the fool
Uuh, you know I play the fool
Uuh, you know I play the fool
I play the fool, I play the fool, play the fool


5. GOOD THINGS

Good things will happen
Bad things will happen, too
Sometimes it's someone down the road
Sometimes it's somebody next to you

Enjoy it right now
Because you never know
When it's gonna end
Enjoy it right now
Because you never know
When it's gonna end

37 people on the train sank into below
Supposed to get to Greenville right about 5:45
There was a boy with a bomb in his jacket that didn't explode
So everybody made it home and went to bed that night

Good things will happen
Bad things will happen, too
Sometimes it's someone down the road
Sometimes it's somebody next to you

Enjoy it right now
Because you never know
When it's gonna end
Enjoy it right now
Because you never know
When it's gonna end

My papa got a job at the mill when he was just 19
He had my mama and my sister and he knew he had to make us a home
And after 43 years retirement was more than just a dream
They let him off last week and told him he was on his own

Good things will happen
Bad things will happen, too
Sometimes it's someone down the road
Sometimes it's somebody next to you

Enjoy it right now
Because you never know
When it's gonna end
Enjoy it right now
Because you never know
When it's gonna end

Nobody knows for sure what happened that day
He went off into the woods and said you had to be alone
When you came home that night you know you had nothing to say
And there were cuts on your body and your eyes looked just like stone

Good things will happen
Bad things will happen, too
Sometimes it's someone down the road
Sometimes it's somebody next to you

Enjoy it right now
Because you never know
When it's gonna end
Enjoy it right now
Because you never know
When it's gonna end


6. OPEN MY EYES

Too many people,
Coming out of doors
In and out of my life
In the night, in the day,
I've got to make it on my own

Somebody asked me,
How do you do it
Tell them that I'm justified
Of the truth to myself
You know I feel so low

Somebody, somebody, somebody come and open my eyes
Somebody, somebody, somebody come and open my eyes.

Complicate the matter
Playing on the weakness
Taking all of my time
I'll go down, with the ship
To the bottom like a stone

Falling off the ladder
Holy water hell hound
Falling like a jack knife
But the truth to myself
You know it cuts through the bone

Somebody, somebody, somebody come and open my eyes
Somebody, somebody, somebody come and open my eyes.

Somebody, somebody, somebody come and open my eyes
Somebody, somebody, somebody come and open my eyes.

Yeah, (somebody, somebody, somebody open my eyes
Somebody, somebody, somebody open my eyes)

Somebody, somebody, somebody come and open my eyes
Somebody, somebody, somebody come and open my eyes.

Somebody, somebody, somebody come and open my eyes
Somebody, somebody, somebody come and open my eyes.


7. RICH AND POOR

They walked hand in hand to a future unknown
He carried the water in blankets he brought
So far past the curfew and they were alone
Her teeth bound by braces, and his teeth were not

Rich and the poor, that's how people get pain
She said I'm gonna show you how babies are made
Oh ohohohohoooooh
Oh ohohohohoooooh
Oh oh oh oh oh

So into the darkness the rushes & leaves
They walked to the lake side, the moon hanging high
She showed him such sweet things, he could not believe
He would not forget for the rest of his life

Rich and the poor, that's how people get pain
She said I'm gonna show you how babies are made
Rich and the poor, that's how people get pain
She said I'm gonna show you how babies are made
Oh ohohohohoooooh
Oh ohohohohoooooh
Oh oh oh oh oh

What's a boy to do when he wants what he can't understand
And she's a big girl and he knows he's in capable hands
And she took his hand and showed him what people ignore
She took his hand and showed him what bodies are for

Rich and the poor, that's how people get pain
She said I'm gonna show you how babies are made
Rich and the poor, the people get pain
Said I'm gonna show you how babies are made
Oh ohohohohoooooh
Oh ohohohohoooooh
Oh oh oh oh oh


8. BELLE STARR

Side saddle, black velvet
Every young cowboy's dream
A pistol for each hand
Remember the outlaw queen

Belle Starr, cut down so viciously
Saviour, home for the man on the run
Woman, the Great Western Valkyrie
Belle Starr, shot in the back with her own gun

Shed not for her bitter tears
Nor give the heart vain regret
The casket that lies here
The gem inside sparkles yet

Belle Starr, cut down so viciously
Saviour, home for the man on the run
Woman, the Great Western Valkyrie
Belle Starr
Belle Starr, shot in the back with her own gun
Take down so viciously
Shot in the back with her own gun
Take down so viciously
Belle Starr


9. WHERE I'VE BEEN

She said since we've been together
I tried not to keep secrets
I was so lost then
I don't like to talk about it

Said I needed money
Cause the habit wasn't cheap
I gave them my body
Now my memory won't let me sleep
Now I lay beside you
And when you touch me
I feel i don't deserve you
That's when you remind me

She says how could you love me
When you know where I've been

How could you love me
When you know where I've been

How could you love me
When you know where I've been

You said when i came home
I tried to put myself back together
The war is still going on
Now my brother is still in danger
Now I'm the soldier
And the tradition runs deep

I gave them my body
Now my memory won't let me sleep
Now I lay beside you
And when you touch me
I feel i don't deserve you
That's when you remind me

I say how could you love me
When you know where I've been

How could you love me
When you know where I've been

How could you love me
When you know where I've been

How could you love me
When you know where I've been

How could you love me
When you know where I've been

How could you love me
When you know where I've been

How could you love me
When you know where I've been


10. DESTINATION COURSE

Sail your ships for openings
Ride the waves that cover me
Moving through uncharted space
Slow exist state of grace
Far away from home
Return before too long

Leave your troubles out the door
You have been lost what your looking for
Eyes that move across the sky
The signal fades
There's no reply

Suddenly refine
You turn the hands of time
Only to unveil
Your hands have slipped from the rail

Slide through the night
Suffer through the rain
Destination on
Destination on course
