Speaking in Lyrics

[bovine knievel]

I know your Daddy hates me, I know I’d probably hate me too.
But, I also know you don’t hate me, even though you’d probably like to and ought to.
And it’s a little too late for writing love songs, but I never did anything on time.
Happiness on your big adventure.
See you Darling down the line.

[bovine knievel]

Everybody knows you've been steppin' on my toes
And I'm gettin' pretty tired of it
You keep a steppin' out of line
You're messin' with my mind
If you had any sense you'd quit

[Slipkid42]

When I first met you girl you didn't have no shoes
Now you're walking 'round like you're front page news
You've been awful careful 'bout the friends you choose
But you won't find my name in your book of Who's Who

I said
I I I I I'm not your stepping stone
I I I I I'm not your stepping stone
Not your stepping stone
Not your stepping stone

[bovine knievel]

Half a mile from the county fair
And the rain came pourin' down
Me and Billy standin' there
With a silver half a crown
Hands are full of a fishin' rod
And the tackle on our backs
We just stood there gettin' wet
With our backs against the fence

Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Oh, the water
Hope it don't rain all day

And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like Jelly Roll
And it stoned me
And it stoned me to my soul
Stoned me just like goin' home
And it stoned me

[Slipkid42]

Well there's a change in the wind
You know the signs don't lie
Such a strange feelin'
And I don't know why it's takin'
Such a long time

Backyard people
And they work all day
Tired of the speeches and the way
That the reasons keep changin'
Just to make the words rhyme

And you know it's gettin' stronger
Can't make 'em run much longer
Turn to stone

[bovine knievel]

Rolling Stone, wanna see my picture on the cover
Wanna buy five copies for my mother

[Slipkid42]

And it's up against the wall Redneck Mother,
Mother, who has raised her son so well.
He's thirty-four and drinking in a honky tonk.
Just kicking hippies asses and raising hell.

[Smitty]

In a pawn shop in Chicago,
On a sunny summer day
A couple gazes at the wedding rings
There on display

[Slipkid42]

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show
How everything still turns to gold

[cortez the killer]

May the good Lord shine a light on you
Make every song you sing your favorite tune
May the good Lord shine a light on you
Warm like the evening sun

[dime in the gutter]

and i say.....

[Slipkid42]

And if I say to you tomorrow
Take my hand, child, come with me
It's to a castle I will take you
Where what's to be, they say will be

[LBRod]

The lady's with me now since I showed her how
to lay her lily hand in mine
Loop and Lil agree she's a sight to see
and a treasure for the poor to find

[bovine knievel]

And it feels so good to know
I got you, where you belong
Here in my heart, right by my side
Honey, you're getting me by
Yeah, keeping me alive

[Slipkid42]

My eyes are closed but yet they see
The beauty of your love here surrounding me
Though you're not here, you're not far away
And in my silence you can hear me say

I give my love to you all my body and soul
I give my mind to you with a love that'll never grow old

[Smitty]

You're gonna make me spill my beer
If you don't learn how to steer

[cortez the killer]

B-double E double R U-N beer run
B-double E double R U-N beer run
All we need is a ten and five-er,
A car and key and a sober driver.

[Smitty]

Unroll that twenty & buy me some beer

[LBRod]

I get home at five o'clock
And I take myself out a nice, cold beer

[Slipkid42]

It's late and she is waiting, and I know I must go home,
But every time I start to leave, they play another song,
Then someone buys another round and whatever drinks are free,
What made Milwaukee famous has made a loser out of me.

[Smitty]

It's always your favorite sins
That do you in

[cortez the killer]

It don't make you do a thing
It just lets you

[Slipkid42]

I bless the day I found you
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you, let it be me

[Smitty]

yeah well honey would you love me more
if I wore women's jeans
or would you still be a victim
of post-modernity
because you used to love Hank Williams
now Sonic Youth's your band
oh but honey I still love you
so I guess you win again

[Slipkid42]

I love to hear you say my name especially when you say yes
I got your body right now on my mind and I drunk myself b-lind to the
sound of old T-Rex
To the sound of old T-Rex - who's next?

[Smitty]

Heaven ain't bad but you don't get nothin done

[Slipkid42]

I ain't got no good intentions

[cortez the killer]

'Cause I'm mad, I'm bad, like Jesse James.

[bovine knievel]

You know, I wish that I had Jessie's girl

[Slipkid42]

What was the greatest battle ever on the Western Plain?
What was the greatest battle ever on the Western Plain?
When me and a bunch of cowboys rode into Jesse James.

Come a cow-cow yicky, come a cow-cow yicky, yicky yea.
Come a cow-cow yicky, come a cow-cow yicky, yicky yea.

Now me and a bunch of cowboys rode into Jesse James.
When me and a bunch of cowboys rode into Jesse James.
Well, those bullets were a-flying just like a shower of rain.
