Oh no, little Papa Dio
Why does the wind blow when the sun go down
Oh no, little Papa Dio
Why does the wind blow when the sun go down
I tell you empty head, I got a heavy load
I'm gonna get up and head out on the road,
I said a Oh no, little Papa Dio
Why does the wind blow when the sun go down
Sittin' at a red light, revving bout 6k
Ridin' that clutch hard, gonna blow that rod away
Head on downtown, south Louisiana
Find me a Creole girl, make my day alright
I tell you empty head, I got a heavy load
I'm gonna get up and head out on the road, Yeah
I said a Oh no, little Papa Dio
Why does the wind blow when the sun go down
I said a Oh no, little Papa Dio
Why does the wind blow when the sun go down
I tell you empty head, I got a heavy load
I'm gonna get up and head out on the road, Yeah
I said a Oh no, little Papa Dio
Why does the wind blow when the sun go down
Sittin muddy water, up to my eyes
Wonderin' how I got here, a girl who looks so fine
Somethin' bout a berm and a two lane black top
And a little red sign, no you don't wanna stop
Well I tell you empty head, I got a heavy load
I'm gonna get up and head out on the road, Yeah
I said a Oh no, little Papa Dio
Why does the wind blow when the sun go down
I said a Oh no, little Papa Dio
Why does the wind blow when the sun go down
Tell me why does the wind blow, when the sun go down

Justifier
03:54

You justify my vengeance
You bring me to the ground
Terrify my innocence
Tear my ego down
You expedite my anger
Ramify my brain
And the good man lives
And the bad man dies
And the girl falls for the one she left behind
And the band plays on.............
Couldn't find my innocence
Cause I lost it on the road
14 pills of medicine
You're an old man and a goat
So the lawyers redefine you
Cause their paid to lay the blame
And the good man lives
And the bad man dies
And the girl falls for the one she left behind
And the band plays on......
Can you find me
Can you find me on the cross
Nailed up there by everything
Torn down to be lost
Could my life be a penitent's
Should my victim be the pain
Can I give you back what you've taken away
You justify my vengeance
You justify my pain
You justify my vengeance
You justifier

What makes you think I can't live without you
I'd rather spend my nights alone
What makes you think I'd lay down and die
I couldn't sleep without layin beside you
Feelin your warm golden hair on my chest
But I'd awake to the same old mess
Ohhh, heartless liven go on and leave me alone
Ohhh, Big ole river c'mon take me back home
I never dreamed I'd be livin without you
Missin that warm sweet flush on my face
But in the end we were one disgrace
You slid on back like a snake in the evening
Wrapping yourself and your charms round my neck
Times you left I would beg you back
Ohhh, heartless livin go on and leave me alone
Ohhh, Big ole river c'mon take me back home
Ohhh, heartless liven go on and leave me alone
Ohhh, Big ole river c'mon take me back home
I prayed to gods of my understanding
Searched for gurus in your place
And even now I can crave your taste
Fill up my body with wheat and water
Take all the bounty this good earth will give
I only got one more life to live
Ohhh, Big ole river c'mon take me back home
Ohhh, Big ole river c'mon take me back home

Poor House
04:50

Well I was born the poor House
And the old man said to me
Boy you'll live in this poor house
'Til the age of sixty-three
Well the nurse major told me
Boy you won't be president
You'll be an outlaw whilst in trouble
And so down that road I went
Because I'm bad
Baddest man I know
Yes I'm bad
Baddest man I know
Met my first girlfriend
At the age of seventeen
With her skirt down at her ankle's
And her boots up to her knee's
Picked her up around midnight
Dropped her off at 2am
Was the last time I ever
Had to please that girl again
Because I'm bad
Baddest man I know
Yes I'm bad
Baddest man I know
Well I'm back in this poor house
At the age 63
With a poor boy in the backyard
And a girl down at my knee's
Well I tell the girl to bring me
Whiskey, water, beer & wine
I will live in this poor house
Until the day I die
Because I'm bad
Baddest man I know
Yes I'm bad
Baddest man I know

You called me down to the carnival, stand there in the rain
Your cigarettes all broken wet, you ran away again
At the cemetery grass dewy wet, afraid but not alone
The cold stone on your new blue jeans, hovering o'er my home
If I rescue you will you rescue me, this is what I heard
If I rescue you, you will rescue me, these the spoken words
Don't erase my name
Don't erase my name
Don't erase Don't erase my name
The candle burned to its blackest wick, your head lay in your hands
I reached across the great divide and this is what I saw
You standing there on the asphalt black, a halo o'er your head
I rolled my eyes for one last goodbye, you turned away again
If I rescue you will you rescue me, this is what I heard
If I rescue you, you will rescue me, these the spoken words
It'll be easier in the morning
It'll be easier in the day
It'll be easier when the sun comes and dries your tears away

Broken Places

I wanna tell you this worlds not revolvin'
Round your pretty Face and your broken smile
I've been learning not to say what's on my mind
So tonight, I'll hold you for awhile
The Angels picked up all the pieces
And laid them on the floor for me to see
So I mixed them up with glue and washed them down with holy water
I'm just fixin broken places in your heart
I'm just fixin broken places in your heart
That broken down boy has gone and left you twisted
I reached for my whip then I put it back again
I can't manage all the anger but I do sometimes
So Tonight I'll leave on the fire
The Angels picked up all the pieces
And laid them on the floor for me to see
So I mixed them up with glue and washed them down with holy water
I'm just fixin broken places in your heart
I'm just fixin broken places in your heart
The Angels picked up all the pieces
And laid them on the floor for me to see
So I mixed them up with glue and washed them down with holy water
I'm just fixin broken places in your heart
I'm just fixin broken places in your heart
Tomorrow must come or we live from here in darkness
I can't promise the sun but my hands are always here
To hold my little girls in this crazy world
Put on some Hank and dance with me awhile
The Angels picked up all the pieces
And laid them on the floor for me to see
So I mixed them up with glue and washed them down with holy water
I'm just fixin broken places in your heart
I'm just fixin broken places in your heart

Burn it down Obadiah
This shotgun shack is keepin' you down
And I'm comin' around
Put down the jambalaya
With flood and flame we'll purify
Bake up some humble pie
Ain't got time for revolution
Ain't had luck with the common man
All I know is we got to do it while we can
So get up Obadiah, and burn it like a man
Obadiah, Obadiah burn it like a man
Never got what I prayed for
But now you're speaking in my ear
With a gospel of fear
I've made my surrender
Your justice rendered in my hand
Strike up the band
Ain't got time for revolution
Ain't had luck with the common man
All I know is we got to do it while we can
So wake up Obadiah, and burn it like a man
Obadiah, Obadiah burn it like a man
Burn it down burn it down now
Burn it down burn it down now........
Burn it down Obadiah
Your time has come I'm callin' you
The spirit cometh through
Strike the match to the fire
In righteousness release the pain
And we'll do it again
Ain't got time for revolution
Ain't had luck with the common man
All I know is we got to do it while we can
So wake up Obadiah, and burn it like a man
Obadiah, Obadiah burn it like a man
Obadiah, Obadiah burn it like a man
Obadiah, Obadiah burn it like a man

Bad times and memories, and goodtimes in the back
Sadness always follows me whenever you don't come back
I ain't been this lonely, since she took my booze away
I'm hopin' and prayin' good lord that she brings it back someday
Oh sweet Virginia how could you get so cold
I guess I'll go on knowin' together we ain't growin' old
Oil's Still on the back steps, chevy's still up on the blocks
Cold nights still worry me, cause I ain't got no socks
That old hound dog keeps on barkin' 9:00 am at that front door
I ain't got the heart to tell him you ain't comin' back
Oh sweet Virginia how could you get so cold
I'll spend my life just knowin' together we ain't growin' old
Last night I heard them coyotes at the full moon moon as she rose
And I guess I'm feelin similar as I lay here all alone
Oh my baby doll, sweet baby doll why did you go away
I'll take it all back every second just tell me oh what did I say
Oh sweet Virginia how did you grow so cold
I'll spend my life just knowin' together we ain't growin' old

Got a little postcard from the girl next door
said she don't wanna see me no more
posted one back the very next day saying baby won't you come along down here see things my way
her papa done told me "boy, she done messed up bad"
told him she's the best thing that i ever had
he said "son someday you gonna go real far if they don't take you down, down, down now now now"
Come on baby won't you lay me down
Come on mama lay it on down
Come on mama lay me down
Come on down, down now now now
Got a painted picture of her on my arm
carried her around the world ya know I kept her from harm
I put it down in ink most permanently
Lest they take me down to the bottom of the deep blue sea
Come on baby won't you lay me on down
Come on darlin won't you lay me down
Come on mama lay me on down
Come on down, down now now now
She drank the water I drank the wine
Begged for mercy she kept on tryin'
She gave up the water and I gave up the wine
And she's still running, yeah runnin' hard
Comin' off the big boat, make my way up town
Try'n to find a woman that just can't be found
Climbin' up the back porch glass dust on the floor
I guess they took her down, down now now now now
Come on baby won't you lay me down
Come on mama won't you lay me down
Come on darlin' lay it on down
Come on down, down now now now
