    letra de Better Days

    Well my soul checked out missing as I sat listening
    To the hours and minutes tickin' away
    Yeah just sittin' around waitin' for my life to begin
    While it was all just slippin' away
    I'm tired of waitin' for tomorrow to come
    Or that train to come roarin' 'round the bend
    I got a new suit of clothes a pretty red rose
    And a woman I can call my friend
    These are better days baby
    Yeah there's better days shining through
    These are better days baby
    Better days with a girl like you

    Well I took a piss at fortune's sweet kiss
    It's like eatin' caviar and dirt
    It's sad funny ending to find yourself pretending
    A rich man in a poor man's shirt
    Now my ass was draggin' when from a passin' gypsy wagon
    Your heart like a diamond shone
    Tonight I'm layin' in your arms carvin' lucky charms
    Out of these hard luck bones

    These are better days baby
    These are better days it's true
    These are better days
    There's better days shining through

    Now a life of leisure and a pirate's treasure
    Don't make much for tragedy
    But it's a sad man my friend who's livin' in his own skin
    And can't stand the company
    Every fool's got a reason for feelin' sorry for himself
    And turning his heart to stone
    Tonight this fool's halfway to heaven and just a mile outta hell
    And I feel like I'm comin' home

    These are better days baby
    There's better days shining through
    These are better days
    Better days with a girl like you

    These are better days baby
    These are better days it's true
    These are better days
    Better days are shining through

    letra de Lucky Town

    House got too crowded clothes got too tight
    And I don't know just where I'm going tonight
    Out where the sky's been cleared by a good hard rain
    There's somebody callin' my secret name
    I'm going down to Lucky Town
    Going down to Lucky Town
    I wanna lose these blues I've found
    Down in Lucky Town
    Down in Lucky Town

    Had a coat of fine leather and snakeskin boots
    But that coat always had a thread hangin' to loose
    Well I pulled it one night and to my surprise
    It led me right past your house and on over the rise

    I'm going down to Lucky Town
    Down to Lucky Town
    I'm gonna lose these blues I've found
    Down in Lucky Town
    Down in Lucky Town

    I had some victory that was just failure in deceit
    Now the joke's comin' up through the soles of my feet
    I been a long time walking on fortune's cane
    Tonight I'm sleepin' lightly and feelin' no pain

    Well here's to your good looks baby now here's to my health
    Here's to the loaded places that we take ourselves
    When it comes to luck you make your own
    Tonight I got to dirt on my hands but I'm building me a new home

    Down in Lucky Town
    Down in Lucky Town
    I'm gonna lose these blues I've found
    Down in Lucky Town

    letra de Local Hero

    I was driving through my hometown
    I was just kinda killin' time
    When I seen a face staring out of a black velvet painting
    From the window of the five and dime
    I couldn't quite recall the name
    But the pose looked familiar to me
    So I asked the salesgirl "Who was that man
    Between the doberman and Bruce Lee? "
    She said "Just a local hero"
    "Local hero" she said with a smile
    "Yeah a local hero he used to live here for a while"
    I met a stranger dressed in black
    At the train station
    He said "Son your soul can be saved"
    There's beautiful women nights of low livin'
    And some dangerous money to be made
    There's a big town 'cross the whiskey line
    And if we turn the right cards up
    They make us boss the devil pays off
    And them folks that are real hard up
    They get their local hero
    Somebody with the right style
    They get their local hero
    Somebody with just the right smile

    Well I learned my job I learned it well
    Fit myself with religion and a story to tell
    First they made me the king then they made me pope
    Then they brought the rope

    I woke to a gypsy girl sayin' "Drink this"
    Well my hands had lost all sensation
    These days I'm feeling all right
    'Cept I can't tell my courage from my desperation
    From the tainted chalice
    Well I drunk some heady wine
    Tonight I'm layin' here
    But there's something in my ear
    Sayin' there's a little town just beaneath the floodline
    Needs a local hero
    Somebody with the right style
    Lookin' for a local hero
    Someone with the right smile
    Local hero local hero she said with a smile
    Local hero he used to live here for a while

    letra de If I Should Fall Behind

    We said wed walk together baby come what may
    That come the twilight should we lose our way
    If as were walkin a hand should slip free
    Ill wait for you
    And should I fall behind
    Wait for me

    We swore wed travel darlin side by side
    Wed help each other stay in stride
    But each lovers steps fall so differently
    But I'll wait for you
    And if I should fall behind
    Wait for me

    Now everyone dreams of a love lasting and true
    But you and I know what this world can do
    So lets make our steps clear that the other may see
    And I'll wait for you
    If I should fall behind
    Wait for me

    Now there's a beautiful river in the valley ahead
    There neath the oaks bough soon we will be wed
    Should we lose each other in the shadow of the evening trees
    Ill wait for you
    And should I fall behind
    Wait for me
    Darlin I'll wait for you
    Should I fall behind
    Wait for me

    letra de Leap Of Faith

    All over the world the rain was pourin
    I was scratchin where it itched
    Oh heartbreak and despair got nothing but boring
    So I grabbed you baby like a wild pitch

    It takes a leap of faith to get things going
    It takes a leap of faith you gotta show some guts
    It takes a leap of faith to get things going
    In your heart you must trust

    Now your legs were heaven your breasts were the altar
    Your body was the holy land
    You shouted jump but my heart faltered
    You laughed and said baby don't you understand?

    It takes a leap of faith to get things going
    It takes a leap of faith you gotta show some guts
    It takes a leap of faith to get things going
    In your heart you must trust

    Now you were the red sea I was moses
    I kissed you and slipped into a bed of roses
    The waters parted and love rushed inside
    I was jesus son sanctified

    Tonight the moons looking young but I'm feelin younger
    Neath a veil of dreams sweet blessings rain
    Honey I can feel the first breeze of summer
    And in your love I'm born again

    It takes a leap of faith to get things going
    It takes a leap of faith you gotta show some guts
    It takes a leap of faith to get things going
    In your heart you must trust

    letra de The Big Muddy

    Billy had a mistress down on 'A' an 12th
    She was that little somethin' that he did for himself
    His own little secret didn't hurt nobody
    Come the afternoon he'd take her wadin'

    Waist deep in the big muddy
    Waist deep in the big muddy
    You start out standing but end up crawlin'

    Got in some trouble and needed a hand from a friend of mine
    This old friend he had a figure in mind
    It was nothing illegal just a little bit funny
    He said "C'mon don't tell me that the rich don't know
    Sooner or later it all comes down to money"

    And you're waist deep in the big muddy
    Waist deep in the big muddy
    You start on higher ground but end up crawlin'

    Well I had a friend said "You watch what you do
    Poison snake bites you and you're poison too"

    How beautiful the river flows and the birds they thing
    But you and I we're messier things
    They're ain't no one leavin' this world buddy
    Without their shirttail dirty
    Or their hands bloody

    Waist deep in the big muddy
    Waist deep in the big muddy
    You start on higher ground but end up somehow crawlin'
    Waist deep in the big muddy

    letra de Living Proof

    Well now on a summer night in a dusky room
    Come a little piece of the Lord's undying light
    Crying like he swallowed the fiery moon
    In his mother's arms it was all the beauty I could take
    Like the missing words to some prayer that I could never make
    In a world so hard and dirty so fouled and confused
    Searching for a little bit of God's mercy
    I found living proof
    I put my heart and soul I put 'em high upon a shelf
    Right next to the faith the faith that I'd lost in myself
    I went down into the desert city
    Just tryin' so hard to shed my skin
    I crawled deep into some kind of darkness
    Lookin' to burn out every trace of who I'd been
    You do some sad sad things baby
    When it's you you're tryin' to lose
    You do some sad and hurtful things
    I've seen living proof

    You shot through my anger and rage
    To show me my prison was just an open cage
    There were no keys no guards
    Just one frightened man and some old shadows for bars

    Well now all that's sure on the boulevard
    Is that life is just a house of cards
    As fragile as each and every breath
    Of this boy sleepin' in our bed
    Tonight let's lie beneath the eaves
    Just a close band of happy thieves
    And when that train comes we'll get on board
    And steal what we can from the treasures treasures of the Lord
    It's been a long long drought baby
    Tonight the rain's pourin' down on our roof
    Looking for a little bit of God's mercy
    I found living proof

    letra de Book Of Dreams

    I'm standing in the backyard
    Listening to the party inside
    Tonight I'm drinkin' in the forgiveness
    This life provides
    The scars we carry remain but the pain slips away it seems
    Oh won't you baby be in my book of dreams
    I'm watchin' you through the window
    With your girlfriends from back home
    You're showin' off your dress
    There's laughter and a toast
    From your daddy to the prettiest bride he's ever seen
    Oh won't you baby be in my book of dreams

    In the darkness my fingers slip across your skin
    I feel your sweet reply
    The room fades away and suddenly I'm way up high
    Just holdin' you to me
    As through the window the moonlight streams
    Oh won't you baby be in my book of dreams

    Now the ritual begins
    'Neath the wedding garland we meet as strangers
    The dance floor is alive with beauty
    Mystery and danger
    We dance out 'neath the stars' ancient light into the darkening trees
    Oh won't you baby be in my book of dreams

  9. Souls Of The DepartedVer letra 4:18

    [X]

    letra de Souls Of The Departed

    On the road to Basra stood young Lieutenant Jimmy Bly
    Detailed to go through the clothes of the soldiers who died
    At night in dreams he sees their souls rise
    Like dark geese into the Oklahoma skies

    Well this is a prayer for the souls of the departed
    Those who've gone and left their babies brokenhearted
    This is a prayer for the souls of the departed

    Now Raphael Rodriguez was just seven years old
    Shot down in a schoolyard by some East Compton Cholos
    His mama cried "My beautiful boy is dead"
    In the hills the self-made men just sighed and shook their heads

    This is a prayer for the souls of the departed
    Those who've gone and left their babies brokenhearted
    Young lives over before they got started
    This is a prayer for the souls of the departed

    Tonight as I tuck my own son in bed
    All I can think of is what if it would've been him instead
    I want to build me a wall so high nothing can burn it down
    Right here on my own piece of dirty ground

    Now I ply my trade in the land of king dollar
    Where you get paid and your silence passes as honor
    And all the hatred and dirty little lies
    Been written off the books and into decent men's eyes

  10. My Beautiful RewardVer letra 3:55

    [X]

    letra de My Beautiful Reward

    Well I sought gold and diamond rings
    My own drug to ease the pain that living brings
    Walked from the mountain to the valley floor
    Searching for my beautiful reward
    Searching for my beautiful reward

    From a house on a hill a sacred light shines
    I walk through these rooms but none of them are mine
    Down empty hallways I went from door to door
    Searching for my beautiful reward
    Searching for my beautiful reward

    Well your hair shone in the sun
    I was so high I was the lucky one
    Then I came crashing down like a drunk on a barroom floor
    Searching for my beautiful reward
    Searching for my beautiful reward

    Tonight I can feel the cold wind at my back
    I'm flyin' high over gray fields my feathers long and black
    Down along the river's silent edge I soar
    Searching for my beautiful reward
    Searching for my beautiful reward
