Lyrics:
People say I’m the lonely kind
But if you looked at me you just might find
A man whose givin’ all there is to give
From all his struggles… no will to live
You can talk about and put me down
Laugh and joke about my shaky ground
That’s ok I’ll just move on
In my lonely world I can’t go wrong
For I’m just traveler in this lonely land
Someday I’ll find a heart like mine and it will understand
And we will break the shackles of our great despair
And memories are all we’ll have of this lonely land.
From this lonely world…(8 beats?) where I come from.
Solo
People say I’m the lonely kind
I’m just waitin’ for a heart like mine
If you laugh at me the jokes on you
You don’t know what this lonely world can do
Love can walk right in and out your door
I’ve been up and down that road before
That’s ok I’ll just move on
In my lonely world I can’t go wrong
For I’m just traveler in this lonely land
Someday I’ll find a heart like mine and it will understand
And we will break the shackles of our great despair
And memories are all we’ll have of this lonely land.
From this lonely world… where I come from
Me and Jennie headed out to the ocean
She said she had never seen the sea
We drove out to California
First the desert, then the mountains, then the sea
Jennie got lost in San Francisco
And I headed back to San Antone
The drive was long and lonely
It was years before she ever came back home
I’m not angry that we parted
That our time together ended so soon
Happiness was bound to find me
Someday I’d lose those West Coast Blues
SOLO = VERSE (WHAT A SURPRISE)
Seems the times had been hard on my sweet angel
She’d seen the stars fall from the sky
And when she walked back in my doorway
She swept away those West Coast Blues
I threw my ring off the bridge at the border
As I crossed into Mexico
Left a love behind that was no longer mine
But I had to let go
Every man has his reasons for leaving
Reasons can be filled with regret
I was caught on a line with no way to find
The things that I once found so clear
Cactus blooms so bright in the desert
Where you’d think no life could live
I plan to settle down for one last round
Where the rules will be mine to live
Solo
Gonna find me a sweet senorita
Gonna buy me a parcel of land
Let the days all drift together
Start life once again if I can
Cactus blooms so bright in the desert
Where you’d think no life could live
I plan to settle down for one last round
Where the rules will be mine to live
Well I'm layin' here wide awake and I can not get to sleep
My head is hurtin' my legs both ache I'm trying to grow new feet
My body cry's "you need some rest" but I can't shut down my brain
I ain't really thinking of nothin' at all but I'm thinkin' of every thing, cause I
Chew the fat, I'm a Blubberball
I pickle my liver in alcohol
Smoke my lungs, powder my nose
And watch my body decompose
There's a little bird singing at the top of his lungs
and he's perched inside my brain
I'm thankin' God I ain't got a gun, cause I know we'd both be dead
My hair is steadily fallin' out, by the handsfull everyday
I feel like it, and I look like it, and the smell is here to stay… cause I
Call and Despondence:
And when I die. Don’t bury me at all.
Just Pickle my bones. In Alcohol.
Put a bottle of booze. At my head and feet.
And then I’ll know. My bones will keep
Dance a Cachuca Fandango Bolero
Xeres will do Manzanilla Montero
Wine when it runs in abundance enhances
The reckless delight of that wildest of dances
To the clitter clatter
To the pitter pitter patter we’ll dance
Aha aha aha that wildest of dances
The reckless delight, ……once more
Gondoliere both skillfull and wary free from this quandary contented are we
Once more…… Gondoliere, Gondoliere Gondoliere contented are we.
So goobye Cachuco Fandango Bolero
We’ll dance a farewell to that measure
Old Xeres will do Manzanilla Montero
We leave you with feelings of pleasure
With feelings of pleasure
I was born about ten thousand years ago
And there’s not a thing in history I don’t know
I saw Peter, Paul and Moses playing ring around the roses
And I’ll lick the guy that says it isn’t so
I saw Eve and Adam driven from the door
I’m the guy that picked the fig leaves that they wore
When the apple they were eating, I was ‘round the corner peeking
I can prove that it was I that ate the core
I saw Jonah when he sailed within the whale
And I thought he’d never live to tell the tale
But old Jonah’d eaten garlic so he gave the whale a colic
And he coughed him up and let him out of jail.
I saw Absalom a-hanging by the hair
When they built the wall of China I was there
I saved King Solomon’s life and he offered me a wife
I said, "Now you’re talking business, have a chair."
The Queen of Sheba fell in love with me
We were married in Milwaukee secretly
In Washington I shook her, Just to join with General Hooker
Chasing skeeters out of sunny Tennessee
You got the best of my heart
Love has held me from the start
Dreams seem so real tell me
How does it feel
To be trapped in this thing called the heart
She said , "love is everywhere
Hold on to your senses
You been drinkin again
Lovers cry out in the night
Looking for something so right
God only knows they got
No place to go
They are trapped in this thing called the heart
She said, "love is everywhere
Hold on to your senses
Now I know you were wrong from the start
But we stayed together and played the parts
I should’ve known better, love would never begin
As you sat there waiting for my heart to cave in.
Now all my friends thought it was wrong
For us to get together didn’t take too long
My mom and poppa told me "Son, you better look again"
"Cuz we think that she’s waiting for your heart to cave in"
Bridge
When I was holding on strong
You seemed to slip away
Every time that we kissed
You’d say you couldn’t stay
I wished we were together more
But I’s the only one
I think I’d gone crazy if I’d stuck to my guns
Well love is a mystery, a mystery to me
And I’m not the Sherlock Holmes of love you see
But if Matlock and McGyver tried to figure you out
They’d said "We think she’s waiting for your heart to give out"
A man can cry
Our love can’t surely die
There not here to stay
The sunshine and the rain
But let me, Oooh let me tell you baby
I’m still in love with you
Blue skies above
The towering mountain high
Is to prove my love
All this love have I
But let me, oooh oooh let me tell you baby
I’m still in love with you
The rules of the game
We both know
I know that you love me, love me so
But someday little darling
I know you’re gonna want me
I know you’re gonna want me, want me so
A man can cry
Our love can’t surely die
There not here to stay
The sunshine and the rain
But let me, Oooh let me tell you baby
I’m still in love with you
It was back in last November, How well I do remember
I was staggering down the street in drunken pride
When my feet began to stutter, So I lay down in the gutter
And a pig came up and lay down by my side
As I lay there in the gutter, my heart was all a flutter
And a lady passing by was heard to say
You can tell a man that boozes by the company he chooses
And that dog-gone pig got up and walked away
I got too much blood in my alcohol stream
And too little sense to abstain,
And every bottle holds another dream That the gutter just sucks down the drain..
Well a few months went past, and my pig came back at last
And I told him I would never regress again
As we sat and reminisced, about all the time's we'd missed
As carving knife lay right there by my side
But I remembered feeling lonely, when that pig showed up and told me
A friend in need he could not cast away
I set the knife aside and he offered me a ride
So I jumped on his back and we went to the liquor store!
Now maybe I’m sad about losing you
And maybe it hurts to say goodbye
But I’m telling you
You’ll never see me Cry
I gave you all you asked me for
Gave me hurt and nothing more
You broke my heart
With your tender lies
I called you darling I called your name
I should have hung my heart in shame
I made you smile I made you laugh
I gave you lovin’ everyday I told you things I’d never say
Now who’s that man in that photograph
Chorus
Solo
Did you really think you could keep me here
With just the lies you tell
And the time I spent in your poison bed
