1. _ Killing Time
See that long line of people who keep standing in the rain
Lookin' tired, gettin' cold
And that signal light they're waiting for, don't ever seem to chang
Killing time, ain't it slow.
Watch them bending with the burden of the pennies that they save
Marking time, growin' old
Slowly marching by the numbers to the freedom of the grave
Killing time, ain't it slow
That's the closest thing to living that they're ever gonna know
And their good times ain't no better than their bad
'cause they think they need a signal light to tell them they can go
Killing time, ain't it sad.
Don't feel sorry for those people who keep standing in the rain
They don't mind, they don't know
'cause it never crossed their minds they got a reason to complain
Killing time, ain't it slow.
They're not haunted by the visions that they never dared to see
And they'll never miss the dreams they've never had
They're condemned to go on living in a penitentiary
For killing time, ain't it sad.

2. _ The Prisoner
I'm thanking you for opening my eyes so clear
And sweeping old illusions from my soul
But most of all for turning something simple and sincere
Into somethin' jaded and as jive as rock n' roll.
Chorus:
Ain't you always looked at lovin' like a four letter word
That i made up to make you ill at ease
I fought to free you from your castle of despair
'til i saw the prison wall was me
See the soul who calls itself a prisoner
'cause it's still too frightened to be free
I feel so much older now, and wiser
Ain't it sad how lonesome that can be.
Chorus:
Ain't you always looked at lovin' like a four letter word
That i made up to make you ill at ease
I fought to free you from your castle of despair
'til i saw the prison wall was me
Chorus:
Ain't you always looked at lovin' like a four letter word
That i made up to make you ill at ease
I fought to free you from your castle of despair
'til i saw the prison wall was me

3. _ Eddie The Eunuch
Eddie the eunuch was a weasel
Nasty as an old man's nose
Making believin' he was evil
Struttin' in his mama's clothes
You know that eddie had a bad connection
Never had a chance to ball
Sleeping in the wrong direction, baby
Dreaming he was ten feet tall
But now eddie the eunuch is a rock and roll critic
Sucking like a super star
Slicker than a shoe-shine
Quicker than a two-time
Eddie what a thang you are
Eddie makes a damn good livin', baby
Putting other people down
Eddie couldn't ever forgive them baby
'cause he wasn't jackson browne

4. _ The Golden Idol
Well, they've made a golden idol of the girl you used to be
Hangin' bangles on your branches like a lonely christmas tree.
Yeah, they've dressed you fit for killin' in your thrillin' new disguise
Nailin' artificial spangles to the diamonds in your eyes
In that golden coach that turns into a bed,
You better make it, gal, before you wake up dead.
'cause they'll paint your burning beauty with a coat of shiny lies
And they'll blind you with their wine so you won't even realize
'til you watch the face you're washing disappearing down the drain
And you're staring in your mirror going privately insane
And that golden crown they've pushed down on your head
You better make it, gal, before you wake up dead.
Look around them golden sidewalks that you're walking on today
And you'll see that lonely gutter just a careless step away
And that altar that they're building you don't even understand
'cause you're dazzled by the flashing of the daggers in their hands.
You'll be dancing in the darkness when their music disappears
And the jangle of your chains will be the only sound you hear
'til your broken body's bleeding on an altar made of stone
And you've sacrificed your soul to please a world that's sick and wrong
And you never heard a single word i said.
Aww, make it, gal, before you wake up dead.

5. _ Bad Love Story
Once again you tried to show me
What my eyes refused to see
In the lines between the painful scene we're in
With the silence falling coldly
On a world of make-believe
And the ending that i still don't understand
Chorus:
It's a bad love story
That i've had to learn by heart
'cause i've lived these lines so many times before
And it's a shame the way the same old ending
Still tears me apart
Where the lady still don't love me anymore
I can see the truth before me
Like a mirror on the wall
With a crack or two for every fool i've been
And i see the lady waiting
For her count-down curtain call
And it's looking like the place that i came in
Chorus:
It's a bad love story
That i've had to learn by heart
'cause i've lived these lines so many times before
And it's a shame the way the same old ending
Still tears me apart
Where the lady still don't love me anymore

6. _ The Stranger I Love
I've been a simple man, and i've been insane
I've been a vagabond, and i've been a king
But i've been a better man just tryin' to please
The stranger i love
Lost in the wilderness, darker than pain
And drawn to her loneliness, just like a flame
The closer we come, the more that i lean
The stranger i love
Bad as i loved her, i ain't afraid
We'll be together, some lovin' way
I'll be her lover just as long as i can
Then when it's over, she'll need a friend
So i'll take her hand-me-downs; i'll take the blame
I'll ba a hang-around; i ain't ashamed
'cause the longer i love her, the more i believe
The stranger i love

7. _ I've Got A Life Of My Own
Chorus:
I said i got a life of my own
I've got a life of my own
I said, don't try to make me a part of no plan
Take me or leave me alone
Freedom's a feeling that few understand
And i got a life of my own
I said i ought to know where to sow my own seeds
And when i oughta leave it alone
Trouble's an old friend that i didn't need then
And i had a wife of my own.
Chorus:
I said i got a life of my own
I've got a life of my own
I caught a beer bottle flat in the face
It laid me back to the bone
Hate is a flavor that's ugly to taste
I had a knife of my own
Now they leave me alone and alive by myself
Lost in the steel and the stone
Hopin' for heaven and headin' for hell
I've got a life of my own
Chorus:
I said i got a life of my own
I got a life of my own

8. _ You Show Me Yours (and I'll Show You Mine)
If you're feeling salty,then i'm your tequila
If you've got the freedom i've got the time
There ain't nothing sweeter than naked emotions
So you show me yours, hon, and i'll show you mine
No ma'm i know this ain't all that you've ever been used to
You with your rings on your fingers and time on your hands
Sometimes it's nice to have somebody nice to be close to
God knows i've been there before you and i understand
Chorus.
I wish that i was the answer to all of your questions
God knows i know you wish you were the answer to mine
Darling if you ain't a thing but a change in direction
Lord don't you know you'd be somethin' i'm lucky to find
Chorus.
So you show me yours and i'll show you mine.

9. _ If You Don't Like Hank Williams
I dig bobby dylan and i dig johnny cash
And i think waylon jennings is a table thumpin' smash
And hearin' joni mitchell feels as good as smokin' grass
And if you don't like hank williams, honey, you can kiss my ass
Chorus:
'cause i think what they've done is well worth doin'
And they're doin' it the best way that they can
You're the only one that you are screwin'
When you put down what you don't understand
I said, i dig roger miller, merle haggard; george jones
Shotgun willie nelson and them rockin' rollin' stones
And jerry lee's still gotta be the coolest in the class
And if you don't like hank williams, honey, you can kiss my ass.
Chorus:
'cause i think what they've done is well worth doin'
And they're doin' it the best way that they can
You're the only one that you are screwin'
When you put down what you don't understand
Forgot to say john prine, neil young, lyle lovett (god bless him), chris
Gantry, jerry jeff walker, and david allen coe...

10. _ If It's All The Same To You
I listened to a friend who'd do the same for me last night
'cause it takes one to really understand
And i watched him try to walk the line
Between what's wrong and right
And knew that fool was gonna fall again
Chorus:
Ah, but the fool i've been ain't nothing like the fool i'd be
To keep believin' dreams that don't come true
Because, you know, it never was too far from love to make believe
And i'll be leavin', if it's all the same to you
It's hard to lead a friend in need of somethin' hard to face
'cause simple truth ain't simple when it's sad
And misery loves company, but, lord, it's such a waste
To go on throwin' good love after bad
Chorus:
Ah, but the fools we've been ain't nothin' like the fools we'd be
To keep believin' dreams that don't come true
Because, you know, it never was to far from love to make believe
And i'll be leavin', if it's all the same to you
Tag:
Yes, i'll be leavin', 'cause it's all the same to you
