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

How The Heart Approaches What It YearnsVer letra 2:49

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

Oh, MarionVer letra 4:00

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

Ace In The HoleVer letra 5:43

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

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

JonahVer letra 3:30

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?

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

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
