1. ALL OVER THE ROAD

We've got the Cadillac, we're gonna drive right into the sun.
You're a tight piece of ass, but you know you're my only one.
We make the rules, and we both know what's got to be done.
So pull up your dress, I'm gonna show you how the west was won.

We've got tonight, we've got forever.
Let's get to work, because nobody does it better.
We're gonna swerve all around,
A-a-all over the road.

You've got the sandwiches packed, and my beer's sweating on the seat.
You've got your black dress on, with your high heels next to your feet.
I've got a big appetite, and you know a man has got to eat.
Well you love your candy, open up for something twice as sweet.

We've got tonight, we've got forever.
Let's get to work, because nobody does it better.
We're gonna swerve all around,
A-a-all over the road


2. YOUNG LOVE

Well your daddy's gone too fat this time,
And I combed my hair, been putting up front.
But his little girl's man is about to draw the line,
Nobody's gonna keep me from what I want.

She's my young love,
Young love.

Well the train out of Gainesville leaves at nine,
And I shaved my face and sold my bike.
I've got a factory job up in North Caroline,
And we can name our kids whatever we like.

She's my young love,
Young love.

"So if I leave with you, darling I've got to know are you gonna tale care
Of me?"
Oh baby, I'll put diamonds in your mouth,
Birds on your shoulders, limousine in the driveway,
Rings on your fingers and marble under your feet.

She's my young love,
Young love. That's what I want


3. PRESSURE AND TIME

Give me only what I need,
it doesn't take too much to keep me satisfied.
Down to work for my money and earn my keep,
hunger's got a way to tame a man's pride.

(Can we build it up?)
I know that we can,
(Can we build it up?)
Let's get to work every woman and man.
(Can we build it up?)
With pressure and time,
(Can we build it up?)
I said I'm gonna get mine.
(x2)

I'm not asking for a throne and crown,
I'm not pining for a starving queen,
Tooth and nail will wear any man down,
and my Mama keeps telling me I'm lookin' too lean.

(Can we build it up?)
I know that we can,
(Can we build it up?)
Let's get to work every woman and man.
(Can we build it up?)
With pressure and time,
(Can we build it up?)
I said I'm gonna get mine.
(x2)

Take me out of this mudslide or never enough,
Let me eat from the fruit right off of the tree.
When God gets his rest because six days are just too rough,
I can only pray he doesn't forget about me.

(Can we build it up?)
I know that we can,
(Can we build it up?)
Let's get to work every woman and man.
(Can we build it up?)
With pressure and time,
(Can we build it up?)
I said I'm gonna get mine.
(x2)


4. ONLY ONE

Under the lights, under the sheets.
After all our fights, that's where we both want to be.
You know that I've got my work, but you've got your needs,
Straight back into your arms is where this long road leads.

You are my only one,
And when times get hard I've got to make you see.
You are my only one,
And that's not even half of what you are to me.

You're trying to keep up our home, while I'm chasing my dreams.
I need to hear your voice, but the telephone just rings.
Another night spent alone, while I'm up on the stage,
In some Midwest town refusing to act my age.

You are my only one,
And when times get hard I've got to make you see.
You are my only one,
And that's not even half of what you are to me.

And it's a long road that leads me back to you.
My only


5. GET MINE

I'm done wasting my time, I'm tired of picking off the fleas.
I've got a coffee can full of liquor store change that I've been counting
On my knees.
Get off the floor, look in the mirror.
Keep looking that good, some girl's gonna buy your dinner.
Got so much money, I know I owe.
Go downstairs and my car's getting' towed.

I've got to get mine, make it through the day.
Get mine, I've got bills to pay.
I've got to get mine, I can find a way.
I've got to get mine.

I've got blood on my lips, I've got a head full of rhymes.
I've got a pistol on my hip, and a long list of names of people running out
Of time.
Sleep with a pistol, under my head.
It's full of water cause' I can't afford the lead.
Plenty of butter, the women keep me fed.
My only problem is that I can't find the bread.

I've got to get mine, make it through the day.
Get mine, I've got the bills to pay.
I've got to get mine, I can find a way.
I've got to get mine


6. BURN DOWN LOS ANGELES

I come from the mountains, down to the water.
I come to drink from the dreams of your sons and daughters,
I come from the summer off of the rails,
With my hammer in hand about to hit it on the nail.

I'm gonna burn down Los Angeles, burn down Los Angeles.

I come for revenge for my broken dreams.
I didn't come to wait tables or park limousines.
I come to get up from my hands and knees.
I come to steal the honey from the killer bees.

I'm gonna burn down Los Angeles, burns down Los Angeles


7. SAVE ME

I know that everybody wants somebody they can trust,
To pull their head right out of the sand.
I look forward and behind but I can't seem to find,
Someone to take the snakes our of my hand.
I climbed up the mountain and I killed the beast,
Just because they said it couldn't be done.
Come home to an empty house,
Got nothing to eat and I'm still on the run.

Who's gonna save me, who's gonna save me?

You know the river is deep and the water is cold,
And the sun's burning up my eyes.
I've got promises to keep and I just can't sleep,
Until my dreams get materialized.
I know that everybody wants somebody they can trust,
And a body that they can lean on.
I get ready for the rumble,
Look over my shoulder and all my friends are gone.

Who's gonna save me, who's gonna save me?


8. GYPSY HEART

Staring at the sun, you know I've got my Papa's eyes.
Forty years at the mill, and two checks every month's got the poor man
Hyptnotized.
He said, "Don't do what I've done, go out son and claim your prize."
"Stay out from under the hand of the man". That was his best advice.

I've got a gypsy heart,
Give me something's gonna make me stay.
I've got a gypsy heart.
Sun comes up on another day,
Thank you for the kisses but I've got to get on my way.

You can call me what you want,
But I've got a compass and a native will.
Say I'm lazy; ugly, tell me I'm a freak,
But your daughter's waiting up on the hill.
You know she'll say, "Oooh, oh, tell me about your reckless ways".
She'll say, "Oooh, oh". She'll be pining for the rest of her days for a
Gypsy.

I've got a gypsy heart,
Give me something's gonna make me stay.
I've got a gypsy heart.
End of the bottle and I'm walking away,
Don't ask me where I'm going cause' you know that I just can't say.
Play when I work, work when I play,
Thank the Good Lord het let me love to see another day


9. WHITE NOISE

There's a message coming to me on my TV screen,
Every time I try to turn it off.
It tells me I'm inferior and incomplete,
And I'm a fool for being satisfied with what I've got.

White noise, white noise.
Carrying the poison to the girls and boys.

There's a message coming to me when my cellphone rings,
To remind me that I'm never alone.
They say the radiation will kill me eventually,
Along with every machine that I own.

White noise, white noise.
Carrying the poison to the girls and the boys.

There are natives living in the jungle,
Running wild and naked through the trees.
There are satellites above tracking every move,
To calculate how to sell them what they'll never need.

White noise, white noise.
Carrying the poison to the girls and the boys


10. FACE OF LIGHT

If I can get through the day,
I'll have a date with the moon.
That's how I spend all my worthless time on the sand,
Thinking that my ship will be coming soon.
Look at these hands,
They've been in gloves for years.
That's how I spend all my worthless rounds in the ring,
Hoping that the other guy will disappear.

But you and your face of light.
It's a brilliant roman candle that separates the day from the night.
It's that clean, clear truth that sorts our the wrong from the right.
You and your face of light.

If I can get through tonight,
I'm waking up with my wings.
There's no way I can sleep my way through a fight,
And I think I'm gonna like what tomorrow brings.
Look at my eyes,
Don't even know who I am.
That's how I spend all my worthless time on the floor,
Waiting for you to tell me I'm a man.

But you and your face of light.
It's a brilliant roman candle that separates the day from the night.
It's that clean, clear truth that sorts our the wrong from the right.
You and your face of light
