Where have all my friends gone
They've all disappeared
Turned around maybe one day
You're all that was there
Stood by on believing
Stood by on my own
Always thought I was someone
Turned out I was wrong
Son, this ain't a dream no more, it's the real thing

And it was 'Fire On The Mountain'
That was her favorite one
There wasn't nothing that I didn't know
So we played the Top 40 radio
Even though we didn't really like the songs
I was wrong
Don't hurt people, and don't take their stuff.

The joke was on me, there was nobody even there to bluff.
The sooner we put those assholes in the grave&piss on the dirt above it, the better off we'll be

In the heat of the evening when the dealin' got rough,
She was too pat to open and too cool to bluff.



Deadheads should get what I did there, especially with relation to LBRod's previous post

Next I caught a ride with a gamblers wife
She had a brand new laid down Rambler
She parked outside of town
And laid the rambler down
And said she sure could dig it if I rode her
The sooner we put those assholes in the grave&piss on the dirt above it, the better off we'll be

I'm gonna move, way out on the outskirts of town
I'm gonna move, way out on the outskirts of town
Now that's why I don't want nobody
Ooh Lord, always hangin' around

I'm gonna tell you baby, we gonna move away from here
I don't want no ice man, I'm gonna buy me a Frigidaire
When I move, way out on the outskirts of town
Now that's why I don't want nobody
Ooh Lord, baby always hangin' around

I'm gonna bring my own groceries, bring them every day
That's gonna stop that grocery boy, I mean it keep him away
When I move, way out on the outskirts of town
Now that's why I don't want nobody
Ooh Lord, baby always hangin' around

It may seem funny, funny as it can be
But if my wife is having a baby, I want 'em all to look just like me
When I move, way out on the outskirts of town
Now that's why I don't want nobody
Ooh Lord, baby always hangin' around
Let the outside air in

I have spent my life
Seeking all that's still unsung
Bent my ear to hear the tune
And closed my eyes to see
When there were no strings to play
You played to me

In the book of love's own dreams
Where all the print is blood
Where all the pages are my days
And all my lights grow old

When I had no wings to fly
You flew to me
You flew to me
Son, this ain't a dream no more, it's the real thing

Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore
I put it on when I go lonely
Will you take off your dress and send it to me?

I miss your kissin' and I miss your head
And a letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead
Run outside in the desert heat
Make your dress all wet and send it to me

I miss your soup and I miss your bread
And a letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead
So spill your breakfast and drip your wine
Just wear that dress when you're dying

Sitting here wishing on a cement floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore
Bloody your hands on a cactus tree
Wipe it on your dress and send it to me
I keep it all together for the sake of the kids.

Beautiful girl, lovely dress
High school smile, oh yes
Beautiful girl, love your dress
Where she is now, I can only guess
'Cause it's gone daddy gone
The love is gone
Let the outside air in

They are the imitators

They say that patriotism is the last refuge
To which a scoundrel clings
Steal a little and they throw you in jail
Steal a lot and they make you king

California's been good to me
Hope it don't fall into the sea
Sometimes you got to trust yourself
It ain't like anywhere else
It ain't like anywhere else

It's time to move on, time to get going
What lies ahead, I have no way of knowing
Don't hurt people, and don't take their stuff.

Gideon come up with his eyes on the floor
Said "you ain't got a hinge, you can't close the door."
Moses stood up above his six foot and ten
Said "you can't close the door when the wall's caved in."

It's tough to let go when you're faced but you can't deliver
You're not even sure who you are any more
It's tough to let go but you know these things you're holding on to
Are killing you faster than you kill yourself
The sooner we put those assholes in the grave&piss on the dirt above it, the better off we'll be

I found myself singin'
Like a long-lost friend
The same thing that makes you live
Can kill you in the end.
