Another Ticket

By troy seals and eddie setser

The dogs are howling at the midnight moon.
I'm on my way to where the black rose blooms.
The mountain's high, the night is cold.
I feel the sunshine; a black rose grows.

Together again, we're as common as sin, they say,
We just walk around the stones they throw.
Night after night, we steal away to where
Love don't see no colors in the shadows,
Love don't see no colors in the shadows.

Wind in the willows, wild and warm,
Just like the woman lying here in my arms.
The water's deep, cold and still.
I love the feeling that black rose gives.

Love don't see no colors in the shadows.

Catch me if you can; i won't be easy to find.
I got a woman at home that's driving me out of my mind.
Catch me if you can; it won't be easy to do.
And i'm warning you brother i won't be leaving no clues.

Catch me if you can; i won't be leaving no scent.
I've been running the wrong way, i think it's time that i went.
Believe me, i'm a man; i ain't easy to tend.
And i'm moving on out, so catch me if you can.

There's no use bothering with the lost and found.
You'd better find a shovel, 'cause i've gone to ground.
Little girl never did pay me no mind.
I guess i'll have to go and leave her behind. so . . .

Why can't it stay like this forever?
Why does it always have to change?

Everytime you think you've paid the price,
Seems you've always got to pay it twice.
Everytime you think you're near the end,
You turn around and find another ticket.

Oh my love, time is running out.
Oh my love, time is running out.

Why must we wait until tomorrow,
When we already know the score?

Everytime you think you've paid the price,
Seems you've always got to pay it twice.
Everytime you think you've got it made,
Seems you're only lying in the shade.

Everytime you think you've run the course,
Seems you've got to ride another horse.
Everytime you think you're near the end,
You turn around and find another ticket.

Rita mae, rita mae, come and visit me today.
Rita mae, rita mae, come and visit me today.
I'll do anything you want, give you anything you say.

I saw you out walking with your other man today.
I saw you out walking with your other man today.
If i catch you one more time, i'm gonna blow you both away.

Rita mae, rita mae, i'll see you one more time today.
Rita mae, rita mae, i'll see you one more time today.
When i've finished what i've done, gonna come and drive you away.

Well i never will forget that floating bridge.
Lord i never will forget that floating bridge.
Lord i never will forget that floating bridge.
They tell me five minutes time underwater i was hid.

I was going down and i throwed up my hands.
As i was going down i throwed up my hands.
As i was going down i throwed up my hands,
Saying, "please lord, take me on dry land."

Well they carried me in the house and they laid me 'cross the bed.
Well they carried me in the house, they laid me 'cross the bed.
Well they carried me in the house, they laid me 'cross the bed.
I couldn't hear nothing but muddy water running 'round my head.

Oh my mother often told me, "quit playing a bum."
My mother always told me, "quit playing a bum."
Lord, my mother always told me, "son, quit playing a bum.
Go out somewhere and make a crumb."
All the people on the bridge was screaming and crying.
Well all the people on the bridge was screaming and crying.
All the people on the bridge stood screaming and crying,
Saying, "lord have mercy, wher's we g'wine?"
