and you don't know where to go

you gotta hold on for all you're worth
cause one wrong turn
can make a long road to run
come on baby gimme your deep love

every day you feel
the weight come again
well somewhere there' s
someone who feels the same
and i can only tell you
honey what i've found
sometimes a silent loo
k is the sweetest sound

you gotta hold on to your deep love
you gotta hold on for all you're worth
one wrong turn
can make a long road to run
come on baby gimme your deep love

you gotta hold on to your deep love
you gotta hold on for all you're worth
one wrong turn
can make a long road to run
come on baby gimme your deep love

 

Gasoline

you ask for water, all you get is gasoline

you ask for water, all you get is gasoline
from san francisco down to new orleans
on the road from memphis
up to new york state
in the plains and the mid-west,
across the u s a

you can ask for water,
all you get is gasoline

you can ask for money,
j ust a decent wage
but you're down and out, boy,
on the very next page
there's always someone on a soapbox,
someone on a stage
telling you there's a dream
in this u s of a

you can ask for water,
all you get is gasoline

like a fish
they're gonna tip you out of water
like a lamb
they're gonna take you to the slaughter
you spend you're whole life,
all you get is gasoline

you ask for water, all you get is gasoline

you can ask your questions
as long as no one is around
from the big coast cities, now,
to the small rural towns
from the so-called justice
for the so-called equal man
there's a willful blindness
all over this land

you can ask for water,
all you get is gasoline
you can ask for water, ask for water
ask for water all you get is gasoline

 

California

if gray skies are getting you down
and nothing turns your world around
baby take a look at yourself

but getting nowhere

baby there's a morning fire
burns like a sun with desire
can you get up and walk
put on your shoes
cause you can take all day
but there's no time to lose
in california

if your friends are letting you down
you've seen it all in your small town
well you've lost all your nerve,
lost what it takes
get it all back there's still gold, babe,
in california, in california

when you let me know
how everything's changed
baby i love who you are
when i look in your eyes
you're still blinded by california
by california, yeah

 

Back Again

it's been a long time
since i've seen my jane
it's been a long road
but i'll be back again
cause i got janie on my mind
you have to look before you find
and i've been falling, babe, to let you in

i can't tell, lord,
if time is slow
or if i'm just stuck
with nowhere to go, babe
if i could exorcise my mind
babe you know what i would find
and i could let you in to ease your way

i'm coming back again,
i'm coming back, baby
i'm coming back to you
and when i come back babe
there's gotta be something
to come back to

hey, you say you want
to change your mind
you're looking
for something you'll never find
cause babe i know you
and you'll stay the way
you've always been

if i could exorcise my mind
babe you know what i would find
and i could let you in to ease your way

i'm coming back again,
i'm coming back, baby
i'm coming back to you
and when i come back babe
there'd better be something
to come back to

 

Hold On

lately, something you said, baby
is in my head like a shadow
way back there
of something you might know
baby, you can't rely on it
baby, you can't be shy of it

baby, everything seems crazy
except me i'm alone here
pulling at my hair don't you know
i don't try to talk about you
i can't seem to live without you

baby please don't walk away from me
baby please, hold on, baby please

baby please don't walk away from me
baby please, hold on, baby please

i've been wrong before
, and i'll be wrong again
lord i've been wrong before

baby, you blocked out the sun
but it's so clear
i'm living in darkness right here
and you are the one
who brings shadows to their knees
do they pull that hard on you?
they pull that hard on me

baby please don't walk away from me
baby please hold on,
baby please hold on

 

Dominoes

i saw a woman on the street
she was crying, wailing, god why me?
never so alone in a crowd all her own
again

i'm sliding back, backward
i feel blown by a burning wind
dominoes and how the oil flows again,
again

you can't take it
close your eyes and make it
cause somewhere in your mind
a dollar grows

i saw someone in the street
he was poor, he was young
and on his feet
with a gun for making friends
asking will this ever end again,
again
like dominoes

 

Cold World

it's a cold world out there baby
but that don't mean
you got to stay indoors
when the cold world
comes creeping up on you
baby you got to get yourself
up off the floor
cause this cold, cold world baby
is gonna need your warm love
more and more

there's people lying and cheating baby
they say they just trying
to get ahead
they say that's the way it is these days
you gotta get the other guy first
or you'll end up dead
so in this cold, cold world baby
we got to serve up
some warm love instead

yeah it's a cold world out there baby
that don't mean
you got to hide yourself away
yeah it's a cold world out there baby
that don't mean you got to hide
with nothing to say
yeah, in this cold, dark world baby
you can still bring a little light today

Change My Mind

i could change my mind
and you could change your mind

and i could sing the roadhouse blues
and be a little misunderstood
and i could take my chances
and i could sing this to you all the time

if i could play like stevie ray
i wouldn't live too long
cause i just want a little taste
you wouldn't get me wrong
and i could take my chances

Black Cat Blues

you weren't like an angel
that came down from above
you weren't like an angel
that came down from above
you weren't like an angel
cause you don't fly
you only got wings
when you're getting high
you weren't like an angel
that came down from above

you weren't like a black cat
crossing on my tracks
you weren't like a black cat
crossing on my tracks
you weren't like a black cat
you got no tail
and i can see you coming
i don't ever fail
you weren't like a black cat
crossing on my tracks

i can walk and i can talk like you
time moves on and i don't feel
as young as i would like to
now and then i feel that
everybody's laughing at me
they say look before you leap
but that ain't gonna get you nowhere

i can walk and i can talk like you
time moves on and i don't feel
as young as i would like to
now and then i feel that
everybody's laughing at me
they say only fools rush in
but i don't see a way around it

 

Lightning

button up
it's gonna be cold outside
i could tell you -
what a lonely ride
are you ready to try and fail?
you'll be falling just like hail
she's gonna get you
like a bolt out of the blue
she's done it to me
and she'll do it to you
she like lightning, lightning

oh heart attack,
it means nothing to you
once you've felt her
drive on through you
it's so cold you'll feel no pain
you're just out there
in the pouring rain
she's gonna get you
like a bolt out of the blue
she's done it to me
and she'll do it to you
she like lightning, oh lightning

she like lightning
to your rod of steel
she like lightning,
how'd it make you feel?

she's gonna get you
like a bolt out of the blue
she's done it to me
and she'll do it to you
she like lightning, oh lightning

she's coming at you
like a bolt out of the blue
she's done it to me
and she'll do it to you
she like lightning, oh lightning

 

Just the Same

if you're anything like me
you can remember
all the things you didn't do
better than the things you did, yeah

if you're anyone i used to know
can't you remember
we always said
we would help each other
now i don't even hold your hand

and i can't erase the ways
that i would rather not believe
and i can't erase the days
that i would rather not relive

and i can't erase the ways
that i would rather not believe
and i can't erase the days
that i would rather not relive

and if anything's like the past
won't you remember
time and again we change
but here and there we remain
just the same
we remain the same
