    letra de Late In The Evening

    The first thing I remember

    I was lying in my bed

    Couldn't have been no more than one or two

    And I remember there's a radio

    Comin' from the room next door

    And my mother laughed the way some ladies do

    When it's late in the evening

    All the music seeping through



    The next thing I remember

    I am walking down the street

    I'm feeling all right

    I'm with my boys, I'm with my troops, yeah

    And down along the avenue

    Some guys were shootin' pool

    And I heard the sound of a cappella groups, yeah

    Singing late in the evening

    And all the girls out on the stoops, yeah



    Then I learned to play some lead guitar

    I was underage in this funky bar

    And I stepped outside to smoke myself a "J"

    And when I came back to the room

    Everybody just seemed to move

    And I turned my amp up loud and I began to play

    And it was late in the evening

    And I blew that room away



    The first thing I remember

    When you came into my life

    I said I'm gonna get that girl no matter what I do

    Well I guess I'd been in love before

    And once or twice I been on the floor

    But I never loved no one the way that I loved you

    And it was late in the evening

    And all the music seeping through

  4. How The Heart Approaches What It YearnsVer letra 2:49

    [X]

    letra de How The Heart Approaches What It Yearns

    In the blue light

    Of the belvedere Motel

    Wondering as the television burns

    How the heart approaches what it yearns



    In a fever

    I distinctly hear your voice

    Emerging from a dream, the dream returns

    How the heart approaches what it yearns



    After the rain on the Interstate

    The headlights slide past the moon

    A bone-weary traveler

    Waits by the side of the road

    Where's he goin?



    I dream we are lying on the top of a hill

    And headlights slide past the moon

    I fold in your arms

    And your voice is the heat of the night

    I'm on fire



    In a phone booth

    In some local bar and grill

    Rehearsing waht I'll say, my coin returns

    How the heart approaches what it yearns

    How the heart approaches what it yearns

  5. Oh, MarionVer letra 4:00

    [X]

    letra de Oh, Marion

    The boy's got brains

    He just don't use 'em that's all

    The boy's got brains

    He just refuse to use 'em and that's all

    He said "The more I got to thinkin

    The less I tend to laugh"

    The boy's got brains

    He just abstains



    The boy's got a heart

    But it beats on the opposite side

    It's a strange phenomenon

    The laws of nature defied

    He said "Its a chance I had to take

    So I shifted my heart for its safety sake"

    The boy's got a heart but it beats on

    His opposite side



    Oh, Marion,

    I think I'm in trouble here

    I should have believed you

    When I heard you saying it

    The only time

    That love is an easy game

    Is when two other people

    Are playing it



    The boy's got a voice

    But the voice is his natural disguise

    Yes the boy's got a voice

    But his words don't connect to his eyes

    He says "Oh, but when I sing

    I can hear the truth auditioning".

    The boy's got a voice

    But the voice is natural

  6. Ace In The HoleVer letra 5:43

    [X]

    letra de Ace In The Hole

    Some people say Jesus that's the ace in

    the hole

    But I never met the man so I don't

    really know

    Maybe some Christmas If I'm sick

    and alone

    He will look up my number

    Call me on the phone and say

    Hey, boy, where you been so long

    Don't you know me

    I'm your ace in the hole



    Two hundred dollars, that's my ace in

    the hole

    When I'm down. dirty and desperate

    That's my emergency bank roll (I got...)

    Two hundred dollars, that's the price on

    the street

    If you wanna get some quality

    That's the price you got to meet (and the

    man says,,,)

    Hey, Junior, where you been so long

    Don't you know me

    I'm your ace in the hole

    (talk about ace In the hole)



    Once I was crazy and my ace in the hole

    Was that I knew that I was crazy

    So I never lost my setf-control

    I just walk in the middle of the road

    I sleep In the middle of the bed

    I stop In the middle of a sentence

    And the voice in the middle of my head said

    Hey, Junior, where you been so long

    Don't you know me

    I'm your ace in the hole (oh yeah)



    Ace In the hole

    Lean on me

    Don't you know me

    I'm your guarantee



    Riding on this rolling bus

    Beneath a stormy sky

    With a slow moon rising

    And the smokestacks drifting by

    In the hour when the heart is weakest

    And the memory Is strong

    When time has stopped

    But the bus Just rolls along



    Roll on, roll on

    Roll on. roll on

    Roll on, roll on



    Some people say music that's their ace in

    the hole

    Just your ordinary rhythm and blues

    Your basic rock and roll

    You can sit on the top of the beat

    You can lean on the side of the beat

    You can hang from the bottom of the beat

    But you got to admit that the music øs sweet



    Where you been so long

    Don't you know me

    I'm your ace in the hole (oh yeah)



    Ace in the hole

    Lean on me

    Don t you know me

    I'm your guarantee



    Some people say music that's their ace in

    the hole

    Just your ordinary rhythm and blues

    Your basic rock and roll

    You can sit on the top of the beat

    You can lean on the side of the beat

    You can hang from the bottom of the beat

    But you gotta admit that the music is sweet



    Hey, Junior. I'm your ace In the hole

    Hey. Junior, I'm your ace in the hole

    Hey, Junior, I'm your ace in the hole

    Hey, Junior, I'm your ace In the hole

  7. NobodyVer letra 3:33

    [X]

    letra de Nobody

    Who knows my secret broken bone?

    Who feels my flesh when I am gone?

    Who was a witness to the dream?

    Who kissed my eyes and saw the scream

    Lying there?

    Nobody



    Who is my reason to begin?

    Who plows the earth, who breaks the skin?

    Who took my two hands and made them four?

    Who is my heart, who is my door?

    Nobody



    Nobody but you, girl

    Nobody but you

    Nobody in this whole wide world

    Nobody



    Who makes the bed that can't be made?

    Who is my mirror, who is my blade?

    When I am rising like a flood

    Who feels the pounding in my blood?

    Nobody



    Nobody but you

    Nobody but you, girl

    Nobody in this whole wide world

    Nobody, girl

    Nobody



    Nobody but you

    Nobody but you

    Nobody in this whole wide world

    Nobody, nobody

    Nobody

  8. JonahVer letra 3:30

    [X]

    letra de Jonah

    Half and hour you change your strings and tune up

    Sizing the room up

    Checking the bar

    Local girls unspoken conversations

    Misinformation

    Plays the guitar



    They say Jonah was swallowed by a whale

    But I say there's no truth to that tale

    I know Jonah

    Was swallowed by a song



    No one lets their dreams be taken lightly

    They hold them tightly

    Warm against cold

    One more year of traveling 'round this ciruit

    Then you can work it into gold



    Here's to all the boys who came along

    Carrying soft guitars in cardboard cases

    All night long

    Do you wonder where those boys have gone?

    Do you wonder where those boys have gone?

  9. God Bless The AbsenteeVer letra 3:15

    [X]

    letra de God Bless The Absentee

    Lord, I'm a working man

    And music is my trade

    I'm travelin' with this five-piece band

    And I play the ace of spades

    I have a wife and family

    Who don't see much of me

    God bless the absentee



    Lord, I am a sugeon

    And music is my knife

    It cuts away my sorrow

    And purifies my life

    But if I could release my heart

    And veins and arteries

    I'd say God bless the absentee



    I miss my woman so

    I miss my bed

    I miss those soft places

    I used to lay my head



    My son don't need me yet

    His bones are soft

    He flies a silver airplane

    He wears a golden cross

    God bless the absentee



    Lord, this country's changed so fast

    The future is the present

    The present's in the past

    Highways are in litigation

    The airports disagree

    God bless the absentee

    God bless the absentee

  10. Long, Long DayVer letra 3:48

    [X]

    letra de Long, Long Day

    It's been a long, long day

    I got some run-down shoes

    Ain't got no place to stay

    But any old place will be okay

    It's been a long, long day



    I sure been on this road

    Done nearly fourteen years

    Can't say my name's well known

    You don't see my face in Rolling Stone

    But I sure been on this road



    Slow motion

    Half a dollar bill

    Jukebox in the corner

    Shooting to kill

    And it's been a...



    It's been a long, long day

    I sure could use a friend

    Don't know what else to say

    I hate to abuse an old cliche

    But it's been a long, long day

    Its been a long, long day
