Remember This Road
02:58

Ankle deep in mud
Gotta lose this load
Gotta lose this load
Do you remember this road?
Hey what did you find there, dog?
Something out there in the bog
Something out there in the bog
Is it a man or just a log?
Something moving among the pines
I hear the warnings I see the signs
I hear the warnings I see the signs
We must have strayed behind enemy lines
Ankle deep in mud
Gotta lose this load
We gotta lose this load
Hey dog, do you remember this road?

Swans in the Sunset
03:46
|
|||
The windows are greasy
Can't see the swans on the lake
The windows are greasy
Can't see the swans on the lake
I like to see them sail around
While I enjoy my coffee break
All in shades of grey
Making me confused
All in shades of grey
Making me confused
Gotta clear up the chaos
And look for some better news
Windows are shiny
I see two swans in the sunset glow
The windows are shiny now
I see two swans in the sunset glow
I like my coffee black
And my swans as white as snow

No Business
02:56
|

Hand on your hip
A foot in the door
You try to play it cool
But you ain't got no business here no more
Clickety-clack
As you walk across the floor
Do you think I'm a fool
You ain't got no business here no more
And I ain't buying what you got to sell
I won't listen when you ring your bell
You're just hunting for bargains again
It's a bad deal now, was a bad deal then
So you run your story
And you seem so sure
But you broke the golden rule
And you ain't got no business here no more

Cooling Fan
03:32
|

There's a little shack down in Louisian'
Four thin walls and a cooling fan
Cooling fan, cooling fan
Down in Louisian'
Copperhead Jill, oh Copperhead Jill
She's a slender girl but her bite can kill
Her bite can kill, bite can kill
Oh Copperhead Jill
Old Nate he said "Oh how I hate her
I should've thrown her to the 'gator
To the 'gator, the alligator
Oh how I hate her"
I said "Oh Nate, you better cool down
Better hold your tongue if God's around
If God's around, if God's around
You better cool down"
There's a little shack down in Louisian'
Four thin walls and a cooling fan
Cooling fan, cooling fan
Down in Louisian'

Snake Skin Oil
03:32
|
|||
My heart got sold down the river
Yeah my heart got sold down the river
Black skin woman she made me shiver
I should have known she was a voodoo queen
I should have known she was some kind of voodoo queen
From the snake skin oil and the smell of kerosene
She read my future and it didn't look good
She read my future and it didn't look good
A man was killed in the neighbourhood
Horrible things she made me do
Yeah horrible things she made me do
Now my soul is hollow through and through
'Cause my heart got sold down the river
Yeah my heart got sold down the river
That black skin woman she made me shiver

Bow and Arrow
02:32
|
|||
Bow and arrow ready to go
Ready to go
Ready to go
Bow and arrow ready to go
In the sunset glow
Feather in a straw hat just like that
Just like that
Just like that
Feather in a straw hat just like that
Ah that's where it's at
Sweet ripe apple on top of your head
On top of your head
On top of your head
Sweet ripe apple on top of your head
Steady now or you'll be dead
Bow and arrow ready to go
Ready to go
Ready to go
Bow and arrow ready to go
In the sunset glow

Hexagon House
02:23
|
|||
Come and dance tonight at the Hexagon House
No need to dress up or sharpen your brows
Come as you are
Everybody's a star
Tonight at the Hexagon House
Come and dance tonight at the Hexagon House
I'll be the cat if you'll be the mouse
Let's play around
I will hunt you down
Tonight at the Hexagon House
Come and dance tonight at the Hexagon House
The moon is up and we're all aroused
The bar is high
And nobody's dry
Tonight at the Hexagon House

Black Limo
02:41
|
|||
A long black limousine
And somerone's at the door
Says "You may not remember me
But we've met before"
"You better give up your possessions
You won't need them anyway
In the place where you're going
You can't tell the night from day"
Told me to sign a paper
As he put a pencil in my hand
But I ain't gonna sign my soul away
Not to the devil nor to another man
So I took my rifle and shot him
Straight between the eyes
But he just laughed and said
"We got one just about your size"

Death Bells
03:22
|
|||
Death bells tolling inside of me
Death bells tolling inside of me
Death bells tolling three times three
A train of fools steaming down the track
A train of fools steaming down the track
Smoke gets thick and the sky turns black
Gonna get the dog and gather those sheep
Gonna get the dog and gather those sheep
Never rest easy, never settle too deep
Death bells tolling inside my head
Death bells tolling inside my head
But I can't recall what the old man said

Set Off for the Hills
02:30
|
|||
These old frayed letters
The notebook on the sill
One last look
Then set off for the hills
The memories of old
I try to hold on to
Some are made of gold
Some just make me blue
I guess Jesus wasn't looking
Down on me that day
The sky went all black
And the pines began to sway
Here the angels come
To tidy up the room
They whisper to each other
They know I'll be out soon
She's appearing through the haze
Like an old familiar song
Remember her like yesterday
Though I may remember wrong
Oh the valleys and the rivers
They're calling to me still
Tomorrow I'll be with you
When I set off for the hills
