1. Some Other Man Instead

   Letra

   You put me through some heavy weather Two times and too for good measure You put me through some heavy weather Broke my back with a feather You say you're thinking on me But you only hurt my head When you said you love me Must have meant some other man instead When you said you love me Must have meant some other man instead I missed the boat Misread the signs It could be that I walk in the dark Well, I've been walking the line You said you'd fix my wagon But you only broke my bed When you said you love me Must have meant some other man instead, yeah When you said you love me Must have meant some other man instead I'm going down to New Orleans Won't be back 'til fall And if I do it little better Won't be back at all Makes me look a little silly When you paid the wrong town rent When you said you love me Must have meant some other man instead When you said you love me Must have meant some other man instead Come on! Let your girlfriends talk about me Talk about me to the blue And your handsome fancy new friend Let him do his talking too I'm your foolish little nancy boy Take a bite out of my brain When you said you love me Must have meant some other man instead When you said you love me Must have meant some other man instead When you said you love me Must have meant some other man instead When you said you love me Must have meant some other man instead When you said you love me Must have meant some other man instead
2. If The River Was Whiskey

   Letra

   Woke up this morning The vision in my head Looks so good I flipped right back to bed Stream run to the ocean Ocean run down to the sea If the river was whiskey You'd have no trouble drowning me Haven't felt this good Since I don't know when Whatever bit ends up dead Wanna do it all again Stream run to the ocean Ocean run down to the sea If the river was whiskey You'd have no trouble drowning me Dollar in my pocket Good girl on my arm Nothing gonna stop me short Of an atomic bomb Stream run to the ocean Ocean run down to the sea If the river was whiskey You'd have no trouble drowning me I feel so fine Mama, please don't make me blue If you ever leave me I'm gonna come with you Stream run to the ocean Ocean run down to the sea And if the river was whiskey You'd have no trouble drowning me And if the river was whiskey You'd have no trouble drowning me
3. Sweetest Portion
4. Traction Blues

   Letra

   The coffee at the hospital was a low-down nasty sludge I got 19 compound fractures and I'm talking to the judge And if that judge don't bust you, I'll take you to the one that will 'Cause I would not be in traction if I did not fall in love Call me a dumbell, call me a spoiled slug, I tumbled down your staircase, and I'm taking you to court. If that court don't bust you, mama, I'll take you to the one that will 'Cause I would not be in traction if I did not fall in love (Oh no!) I would not be on my feet, I swear by god above. My arm and first 3 fingers are in a plaster glove I would not be in traction if I did not fall in love If that cop don't bust you baby, I'll take you to the one that will. 'Cause I would not be in traction if I did not fall in love The coffee at the hospital was a low-down nasty sludge I got 19 compound fractures, baby talkin' to the judge If that judge don't bust you, mama I'll take you to the one that will But I would not be in traction if I did not fall in love
5. Scotch And Water Blues

   Letra

   I've held your hand and sunk your ships And I can read our future in the whiskey on your lips Watch this ice a-melting; cool glass magnify my palms And from the church on Sunday evening comes the sifted sound of psalms Things they go and then come around to stops Now my baby? just a breeze through the treetops Glass in my hand, my back to the door My one consolation is I ain't your man anymore The Drop Oh, I worry just about the drop Oh, I worry just about the drop 'Cause it's not the fall that kills you, But, the sudden stop Machiavelli on the door The shogun dropped his chopsticks in the bowl Oh, you might be a pastor, but you never pay the toll I'm flippin' from left to right Oh, I'm flippin' like a moth tonight I could never ask your baby, I'll wish for you tonight I'll wish for you I worry just about the drop I worry about the drop 'Cause it's not the fall that kills you, It's that sudden stop That sudden stop, now Is she alligator Yeah, she's a crocodile She got that ancient [?] That's just hanging out of her smile When she called you at the keyhole, brother She knew it all the while Oh, I worry just about the drop Oh, I worry (I'm so worried, mama) about the drop 'Cause it's not the fall that kills you, But that sudden stop
6. About A Train

   Letra

   When I hear that train a-coming from the junction Troublin' my mind is it's favorite function. It makes that crying on that old air horn Middle of the night, I can hear it mourn The world is a stone hanging in the night The train's a woman and she leaves behind a light Love is gone, I mean washed out in the rain Leaving town and mumbling something 'bout a train Oh, about a train My head is full of sky and my boots are full of ocean And stolen designs for perpetual motion Love scarred, shattered, tattered, and unfolding Silent man, he won't tell me what it is What it is he's holding The world is a stone hanging in the night The train's a woman and she leaves behind a light Love is gone, I mean washed out by the rain Leaving town and mumbling something 'bout a train My heart is a stone, and my head is a canyon Far off lonely home is my only companion Love is gone, I mean washed out in the rain Leaving town, mumbling something about a train

10. What My Love?

    Letra

    I don't know what my love supposed to do I don't know what my love supposed to do Well, that's how I fell when I put my arms around you Four walls, five beers, a burp and one t.v. Four walls, five beers, a burp and one t.v. That's all you left, mama, of my happy home and me I don't know what my love supposed to do I don't know what my love supposed to do Well, that's how I feel when you put your hands on me
