1. _ Back In The Saddle
(matraca berg/stan lynch)
I came down from the cadillac dude ranch, health spa
Nestled on the edge of town
For fourteen days i've been herbal wrapped, mud packed
Now i'm bustin' out
Well, i thought the wild west wasn't for me
You walked up like a bow-legged dream
When you said yes ma'am i thought i'd scream
Oh, put me in your big ol' pick up truck
Take me to the rodeo
I don't know a thing about broncin' bucks
And i can't do-si-do
But i can put you back in the saddle, baby
Yeah, stand you up tall
I can put you back in the saddle, baby
Yeah, and that ain't all
Well, it must've been the burned out new age coffee house
So called sensitive guys
I never thought a leatherneck suckin' on a long neck
Could make my temperature rise
But you're so sweet, baby, you're so fine
You bring the barbecue and i'll bring the wine
We'll dance all night |
2. _ Appalachian Rain
(matraca berg/ronnie samoset)
He came into town in the early springtime
To work with my daddy down in the mines
It was hot in the summer when he said goodbye
And he left me a secret i can no longer hide
Now the only thing here that is welcoming me
Is a cold rainy morning, and a greyhound bus seat
He just had to come back and try to explain
Cry for your daughter, appalachian rain
Mountains of sorrow, mountains of pain
You'll never give for my baby a name
My family's honor took it away
Cry for your daughter, appalachian rain
I was washed in the blood of the river you filled
Now the sound of a shotgun rings through the hills
And the blood of her father runs through its veins
Cry for your daughter, appalachian rain
Mountains of sorrow, mountains of pain
You'll never give for my baby a name
My family's honor took it away
Cry for your daughter, appalachian rain
Tears in the hollow, tears of my shame
Cry for your daughter, appalachian rain

3. _ I Must Have Been Crazy
(matraca berg/ronnie samoset)
Well, i like to walk my dog in the middle of the night
You can hear us howling in the silvery light
Of the lamp post in the alley, dancing in the rain
And when the sun goes down tomorrow, we'll do it all again
Life is so much better, now that we're through
I must have been crazy, boy, for ever loving you
I must have been crazy, downright insane
To cry like a baby at the mention of your name
I can't believe you made me act like such a fool
Lord, i must have been crazy, boy, for ever loving you
Well i went to the doctor i was falling apart
He must have run ten thousand volts through my broken heart
And when the shock was over it was plain to see
That there's no room for your here boy in my reality
And when they ask me how i feel, i don't internalize
I put down my paper dolls, look them in the eye
And say...
I must have been crazy, downright insane
To cry like a baby at the mention of your name
I can't believe you made me act like such a fool
Lord, i must have been crazy, boy, for ever loving you
Well, i must have been crazy, boy,
For loving you, for loving you.

4. _ Lying To The Moon
(matraca berg/ronnie samoset)
I watch the sun going down
While i stand on sacred ground.
Where once the night found us.
In the twilight of our love.
You said you'd meet me here.
But i'm all alone.
You sounded so sincere.
Well did you lead me on.
I told the starry sky to wait for you.
I told the wind to sigh like lovers do.
I even told the night that you were true.
And you would be here soon.
And now i'm lying to the moon.
And so the night takes me in.
Like a sympathetic friend.
And sends away the trees.
And the willow weeps for me.
The shadows fool my eyes.
And i think i see you.
Then they start to cry.
Don't you know that they believed you
I told the starry sky to wait for you.
I told the wind to sigh like lovers do.
I even told the night that you were true.
And you would be here soon.
And now i'm lying to the moon.

5. _ Calico Plains
(matraca berg/mike noble)
Sweet abilena looked out at the midwestern sky
Sweet seventeen with a far away look in her eyes.
She said "i feel like a bird in a cage,
"but come september i'm flying away."
I said "i'll miss you," then i made her promise to write
Since we were tall as the corn in the spring
We shared every secret, shared every dream
So anxious to grow in the new summer rain
And bloom like a rose on the calico plains
How could she hear as we laughed on that long summer night
The tiny heart of the baby she carried inside
I stood beside her when september came
Watched her get married, then caught the bouquet
And like those hand-me-down dresses she gave me
I made her dreams mine
>from a seat by the window on wings made of steel
I stared at the patchwork over the fields
Where young tears that once flowed like warm summer rain
Were turning to snow on the calico plains
Sweet abilena looks out at the midwestern sky
Closer to thirty, but farther away in her eyes
She holds her babies like she holds her dreams
Each night she kisses and rocks them to sleep
While she reads the letters she makes me promise to write
Sweet abilena looks out at the midwestern sky

6. _ The Things You Left Undone
(matraca berg/ronnie samoset)
Saturday, i drove into town
In the co-op where your friends hang out
I heard one say "what's she doing here?"
Well, i held my head up high, swallowed my bitter tears.
Yesterday at the hardware store
They said "i'm sorry, you don't have no credit anymore"
Well i walked out of there trying so hard to think
Of another way that i could fix the kitchen sink
Got into the truck and it wouldn't start
Is it any wonder that i'm falling apart?
Oh, i'm just another one of the things you left undone.
Well i got home and went out to get the mail
Walked back down the driveway with another pile of bills
I need a job, boy, one more than i have
Last night i fell asleep looking through the wanted ads.
Woke up this morning on the pillow you left
Laughed a little crazy as i made up the bed
It's just another one of the things you left undone.
I'm still finishing what i didn't start
I'm still mending on this broken heart
Oh, it's just another one of the things you left undone.

7. _ I Got It Bad
(matraca berg/jim photoglo)
I can't eat, i can't sleep,
I got nubs where my fingernails used to be
And my cat is lookin' kinda worried 'bout me.
The phone rings and i pounce
I'm like o.j. simpson jumping over the couch
It ain't you, i'm answering breathlessly
I got it bad, i got it bad for you
It got hot, you got cold
You said your mama didn't think girls should be so bold
All of that from one little innocent kiss
Well now i heard it all
Maybe i should ask your mama to give me a call
Maybe she could tell me what to do about this
I got it bad, i got it bad for you
Well i never in all of my days
Ever had a man that would treat me this way
The one who ain't beating down my door
Is the only one who's got me walking the floor
I got jewels from a prince
Well the least i've ever gotten was a box of mints
But from you i ain't got nothing but the blues
I got it bad, i got it bad for you
I've been snagged, i've been hooked
I burned my party dress and my little black book
Oh my god, what's my world coming to?
I got it bad, i got it bad for you
I got it bad, i got it bad for you

8. _ Back When We Were Beautiful
(matraca berg)
I guess you had to be there, she said, you had to be
She handed me a yellowed photograph
And then said, see
This was my greatest love, my one and only love
And this is me
Back when we were beautiful, see
I don't feel very different, she said, i know it's strange
I guess i've gotten used to these little aches and pains
But i still love to dance, you know we used to dance
The night away
Back when we were beautiful, beautiful, yes
I hate it when they say
I'm aging gracefully
I fight it every day
I guess they never see
I don't like this at all
What's happening to me
To me
But i really love my grandkids, she said, they're sweet to hold
They would have loved their grandpa
Those awful jokes he told
You know sometimes for a laugh, the two of us would act
Like we were old
Back when we were beautiful, beautiful, yes
But i guess you had to be there...

9. _ Baby, Walk On
(matraca berg/ronnie samoset)
Oh no, here we go, and there you go again,
When we disagree, you leave when you don't win
Honey, your sidewalk babytalk don't get it with me no more
The next time around the block when you go by my door
Baby, walk on till you're gone away
Walk on till you find someday
Goodbye goes a long, long way
So, so long, walk on
Goodbye, baby cry till you're singing the poor boy blues
This time i don't mind shining your walking shoes
Fresh ink, in the pink, your papers are ready to sign
They'll both be waiting for you when you walk by
Baby, walk on till you're gone away
Walk on till you find someday
Goodbye goes a long, long way
So, so long, walk on
Baby, walk on till you're gone away
Walk on till you find someday
Goodbye goes a long, long way
So, so long, walk on baby
Walk on

10. _ Along For The Ride
(matraca berg/sharon rice)
If love is like a roller coaster
Pretty as a circus poster
Would you pay for a day at the fair
I'd like to sit in the very last car
Baby, don't hold onto the bar
Just throw up your hands in the air
Life can be such a scream if you let it
And we're just along for the ride
For the thrill of the flight
Let your heart be your guide
We're along for the ride
We can keep the wheels in motion
Me, i'm not sitting by the ocean
Waiting for ships to come in
I wanna buy you an old ragtop
I want to drive in between the rain drops
Baby, that's where we fit in
Heaven and the road only know where we're going
And we're just along for the ride
For the thrill of the flight
Let your heart be your guide
We're along for the ride
Yeah, for the ride
Baby, love is a dream/looking for a place to happen
And we're just along for the ride
For the thrill of the flight
Let your heart be your guide
We're along for the ride
For the thrill of the flight
Let your heart be your guide
We're along for the ride
For the ride

11. _ Alice In The Looking Glass
(matraca berg/gary harrison)
At nine o'clock each morning down on charlotte avenue
The bus driver stops and lets her off
Before the first shampoo
Alice started working there when she was just a girl
And now she mans the second chair
At thelma's cut and curl
A trim is just ten dollars and the conversation's free
She recreates the latest styles of 1963
With a lipstick-circled cigarette constantly aflame
She greets all her clientele
By first and middle names
And even though that mirror paints a picture much too clear
She'll mix you up some magic and she'll dye away the years
And, oh, they come and go so fast
Don't they, alice -- alice in the looking glass
One time she was married, but now she lives alone
But there's a little ancient poodle
Waiting there for her at home
And she'll tell you all about him like he was her only child
And rubs her swollen ankles
While she waits for you to dry
There's a picture on the mirror there of her at seventeen
The day that thelma did her hair when she was football queen
And, oh, they come and go so fast
Don't they, alice -- alice in the looking glass
Even though that mirror paints a picture much too clear
She'll mix you up some magic and she'll dye away the years
And, oh, they keep coming back
Don't they, alice -- alice in the looking glass
