Tear 'em on Down Push past the squares and first comers, bearing your eyeteeth Press your born advantage like you've never known sympathy Gonna show them what it is, don't draw your brakes Take your chance right off the shelf , don't you know that's all it takes Turn around, tear em down gonna get some speed Two pills, a boy, a girl and the devil at my feet The highway is a surly mistress, she gives and takes away And you'll roll and go and crash and fold and you know you've lost your way Turn around, tear em down gonna get some speed Two pills, a boy, a girl and the devil at my feet

Under the Sun Now life is coarse and words fall short and that's alright Yet it's sharper than a two-edged sword and it cuts so right And I'm searchin' for that still small voice in the night But it's yet to offer me a choice, hey alright That's alright I'm only lost at sea And I am you, and you are me And there ain't nothing new Under the sun Now I'm headed for the dogs of war and that's alright But I don't know what I'm fighting for, do I Mike? And I see the fire, but can't smell the smoke in the night And fear it's all some sick hoax, tell me, am I right? That's alright I'm only lost at sea And I am you, and you are me And there ain't nothing new Under the sun That's alright I'm only lost at sea And I am you, and you are me And there must be something new Under the sun

You Are Free 04:01
Oh what a way, what a way to find Hey now you go and lose what's yours and what's mine I know it's hard to stand a world so cold Come on and take a table out of the road And they say that your dreams don't lie But they clear the bridge between your heart and your mind And should better angels fail You know that you can lean on me for a spell Let go of what you are You are free, don't let me down My best intentions leave god laughing at me Don't turn around Hang on, let go You are free don't make a sound Things are not what they seem, except when they are Don't let me down

Lost on the Way Revels and painted ladies And honky-tonk parades Jubilation and empty stations And a boy who is lost on his way Sin and reckless abandon Seem to be his main stock-in-trade If you press him to say, he might run away Just a boy who is lost on his way Scoundrel or lonesome pilgrim Well who am I to say? But make no mistake there's a narrow escape For the boy who is lost on his way So pull down the lights all around you And get on your knees and pray For happy days and your soul to save And the boy who is lost on his way

Deal (free) 04:12
Since it costs a lot to win and even more to lose You and I are bound to spend some time wondering what to choose It goes to show you don't ever know Watch each card you play and play it slow Don't you let that deal go down Wait until that deal goes down I've been gambling hereabouts ten good solid years If I told you all that went down it would burn off both of your ears It goes to show you don't ever know Watch each card you play and play it slow Don't you let that deal go down Wait until that deal goes down Since you poured the wine for me and tightened up my shoes I hate to leave sitting there composing lonesome blues It goes to show you don't ever know Watch each card you play and play it slow Don't you let that deal go down Wait until that deal goes down
