For goodness sakes

Livin' with my back against the wall
Nowhere but forward to fall
Well i close my eyes, somebody will catch my breath
Oh my lord let's get on board
The rides gonna scare me to death

I don't wanna leave before my time is done
Don't wanna stick around when my race is run
I don't wanna go before they call my dance
Don't wanna die asking for another chance

Come help me poor richard
And won't you help me raise the glass
Here's to me and here's to you
Them dreams all come to pass
Cruel trick of time, is played in the wink of an eye
Well heaven's above you don't need no shove
The years go sailing bye, oh

I don't wanna leave before my time is done
Don't wanna stick around when my race is run
I don't wanna go before they call my dance
Don't wanna die asking for another chance

Another game of chance
A lifetime come and gone
I guess it's up to me
If i don't want to say another man's song
I wanna say what grandma said, lying on her dying bed
I ain't been cheated, no mistreated, and i don't have to say that yet, oh

I don't wanna leave before my time is done
Don't wanna stick around when my race is run
I don't wanna go before they call my dance
Don't wanna die asking for another chance
Another chance
No not another chance
No no another chance

Well i listen for your footsteps
Comin' up the drive
Well i listen for your footsteps
But they don't arrive
Just a waitin' for your knockin'
On my own front door
I don't hear it that doesn't mean
You don't love me anymore

Well i hear that clock a tickin'
On the mantle shelf
Well i see the hand's a movin'
But i'm by myself
Well i wonder where you are tonight
And why i'm by myself
I don't see you it doesn't mean
You don't love me anymore

Don't pass me by
Don't make me cry
Don't make me blue
You now darlin'
I love only you
You know it hurt me so

How i hate to see you go
Don't pass me by
Don't make me cry

I'm sorry that i doubted you
I was so unfair
You were in a car crash
And you lost your hair
And you said that you would be late
About an hour or two
Well that's alright baby thats alright
I'm waitin to hear from you

(repeat chorus twice)

I want you to listen to me baby
I got a lot of things on my mind
Listen to me baby i got a lot of things on my mind
Take a short look back just see what the hell we find
Now you can run high, low
Do what the hell you please
Run high, low, do what the hell you please
I got news for you baby, gone like the cool cool breeze

Well, saddle up
Turn it loose
Saddle up baby
And won't you turn it loose
I tried my best to stop you
Honey it ain't no use

With that cold widn blowin
In through my back door
Cold wind blowin in through my back door
You can ????????

Saddle up
Turn it loose
Saddle up baby
And won't you turn it loose
I tried my best to stop you
Honey it ain't no use

Give me a brand new pony
Man you wanna see us ride
Give me a brand new pony
Man you wanna see us ride
She keep her daddy happy and sure keep us satisfied

Saddle up
Turn it loose
Saddle up baby
I tried my best to stop you
Honey it ain't no use

Good to see ya back again
In the land of salvation and sin
You know sometimes, i get so lonely
Good to see that look on your face
I always held a special place
You might say, for your eyes only

I say good times bad times i dunno
Just pick up the dice and baby let 'em roll
It's the end of the line nowhere to go
I said good times bad times i dunno

Cause your totally emotionally abused
Spiritually impoverished and moral destitute
Step right up your table's waitin'
I thought you were long gone
I see now that i was all wrong
Oh really, please don't you be so blatant

Good times bad times i dunno
Just pick up the dice and baby let 'em roll
It's the end of the line nowhere to go
Good times bad times i dunno

Rock your ass and bash your skull
That's another thing never bluff
And you're dancin' with some pretty little juvenile delinquent
Take the one standin' right over there
Yeah the thing with the short black hair
The pink pants, black boots, nudie jacket with the silver sequins

Good times bad times i dunno
Just pick up the dice and baby let 'em roll
It's the end of the line nowhere to go
Good times bad times i dunno
I dunno
I dunno
I dunno
I dunno
I just dunno

(dan baird)

Just a hard luck boy from a hard luck town
Hard luck story that's goin' around
You can make a fool wear a crown
Prop him up but he falls back down
Fall back down

Everytime i stick out my heart it just
Gets stepped on
Well it feels like i've been ???
I don't need to look over my shoulder
To see what's coming
It's a dark cloud it belongs to me

Just a hard luck boy from a hard luck town
Hard luck story that's goin' around
You can make a fool wear a crown
Prop him up but he falls back down

Everytime i roll the dice they come up box cars
It feels just like i've been snakebit since day one
???? smile on my face ???

(repeat chorus twice)

Can't stand the pain
Can't stand the pain, anymore
Can't stand the pain
Can't stand the pain, anymore

Well i'm lookin' for you baby and i don't know why
Everything about you makes me wanna cry
I can't lose, i can't win
Livin' in the middle once again
Yeah again and again

Can't stand the pain
Can't stand the pain, anymore
Can't stand the pain
Can't stand the pain, anymore

Well i'm dreamin' bout you baby
Each and every day
Try and wash my head out of the
Things you say
I can't lose, you can't win
Livin' in the middle once again
Yeah again and again

Well i'm lookin' for you baby and i don't know why
Everything about you makes me wanna cry
I can't lose, i can't win
Livin in the middle once again

Can't stand the pain
Can't stand the pain, anymore
Can't stand the pain
Can't stand the pain, anymore
Can't stand the pain
Can't stand the pain, anymore
No more, yeah, yeah, yeah

Stuffed my heart in a bag slammed the back door
If i get home it'd be a home no more
Took off runnin in the middle of the night
I was aimed for anything that felt half right
Look out baby i'm gone a little ride
I see my name written on the center line
Moon looks good air is cool
Every bone been broken in the golden rule

Well i'm flyin through dothan with radio
Taylor's ole time opry's playin hank snow
Sing's my nightmares in his song
I say i'm with ya man i'm just movin on
Look out baby your wish came true
You got your freedom the house and the whole canoe
I got the thangs that i need
I took the car my pride and three pairs of jeans

My brain is bleedin got nails in my spine
But i ain't gonna stop 'fore that empty line
Radio's fadin road's like a snake
It's two in the mornin' and i'm wide awake
Look out baby gates of eden got closed
But new orlean's open see the pretty lights glow
I'm goin in to get myself lost and found
It didn't take too ___damn long to tear a good thing down

It may not be ideal
But at least we're not running at the mouth
I-10 to san antone
Woke up and went south
Fleeced at the border
For thirty five and some change
But that's a small price to pay
Runnin from the pain
Look out baby i'm gone a little ride
There's a brush fire on the highway
Gonna burn both side
Wish i could throw our sins
In the flame and smoke
I'll call you up if and when i reach hope

(chuck berry)

Well in the heat of day down in mobile, alabama
I'm workin' on the railroad with a steel drivin hammer
I gotta get some money buy some brand new shoes
Gotta find somebody take away my blues
Well she don't love me when i'm singin' in the sun
Payday's comin' when the work is all done

Well now late here in the evening when the sun is sinkin low
All day i've been waitin' for that whistle to blow
Sitting in a teepee built right on here on the tracks
Rolling them bones until the foreman comes back
Pick up your belongings boys and scattere about
We've got an off shedule train comin two miles out

Everybody's scrambling and a running around
Picking up their money tearing the teepee down
Foreman wants to panic, bout to go insane
Trying to get the workers out the way of the train
Engineer blows the whistle loud and long
Can't stop the train gotta let it roll on

"bye bye johnny"
Well now she drew out all of the money of southern trust
And put her little johnny on a greybound bus
Leavin' louisiana for the golden west
Drowned in the tears from her happiness
Her own little son named johnny b goode
Gonna make some motion pictures out in hollywood

I said bye, bye, bye, bye
I said bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye bye johnny, goodbye johnny b goode

Well she remembers taking money after gathering crops
And buying johnny's guitar at the brokers shop
As long as he would play it by the railroad site
He wouldn't get in trouble she was satisfied
Well she never knew there would come a day like this
When she'd have to give johnny a good bye kiss

I said bye, bye, bye, bye
I said bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye bye johnny, goodbye johnny b goode

Well now she finally got the letter she'd been dreaming of
When johnny wrote and told her he had done fell in love
As soon as he was married he'd bring her back
And build a mansion for her by the railroad trck
And every time you heard that locomotive roar
She'd be standing there waiting at the kitchen door

I said bye, bye, bye, bye
I said bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye bye johnny, goodbye johnny b goode

Tonight tonight, i feel just fine
Out on the streets and right out of my mind
And i know everything that a good boy should know
So darlin you gotta tell me which way the winds gonna blow
I'm old enough to know what's wrong and what's right
I've just got to know if that thing is open all night

With the way you walk there ain't no mistake
My finger starts a shakin' knees start to quake
And i'm gonna love you baby until i'm completely spent
Turn around jack back up and be a hundred percent
Turn a mouse into a man a man into dynamite
I've just got to know if that thing is open all night

Love isn't blind love isn't pure
But you'll never find anything else shine any truer
You got me shining like a candle and it's burning at both ends
I wanna be your lover don't care at all 'bout good friends
I'm old enough to know what's wrong and what's right
I just got to know if that thing is open all night
Open all night
Open all night
Yeah open all night
Well you turn a mouse into a man a man into dynamite
I've just got to know if that thing is open all night
24 hours baby
C'mon boy get you some
