Jerry Jeff Walker - Green back dollar

Tekst :

Some people say I m a no count, others say I m no good,
But I m just a natural born travelin man,
Doin what I think I should, Oh yeah,
Doin what I think I should.

Chorus
And I don t give a damn about a greenback dollar,
Spend it fast as I can,
For a wailin song, and a good guitar,
The only thing that I understand, Poor boy,
The only thing that I understand.

When I was a little babe, my mama said hey son,
Travel where you will, and grow to be a man,
And sing what must be sung, poor boy,
Sing what must be sung.

Chorus

Now that I m a grown man, I ve travelled here and there,
I ve learned that a bottle of brandy and a song,
The only ones who ever cared, poor boy,
The only ones who ever cared

Chorus

    April, the cruelest month
    I reckon this much could be a contender
    There s only so much sorrow a man can take
    I cant change my face, Don t you remember

    You know when I was on the road
    That me and you was on the rocks, so low
    Should...

    Give me a gun

    Give me a gun cause cause bombs and guns are really fun
    I ve lost my job my moneys gone live like a slob
    I ve got no home only streets to roam live so alone
    I m barely alive I feed on cats to survive

    My wife left me my kids are dead
    All...

    Dirty dancing

    Muevele, muevele
    Bailar, yo quiero baila lalalalalalala bailar,
    Mueve las nalgas, shake your ass girl.
    A la musica, we ll be dancing, dancing, dancing a bit Havana.
    And we gon shake it, shake it, shake it, don shake it.

    Hips start shakin and...

    This spiteful snake

    Reality - this spiteful snake,
    Rearing its ugly head
    Venom dripping from its grin
    As it tosses yet another obstacle in our way

    If given a thousand years to collect,
    To process, to portray
    - We could never encompass the voracity
    Of one single day

    Trapping us in its winding,
    It s closing malignant cycles
    A tightening coil to bind...

    Headlights

    Im losing tolerance day by day
    Your mind makes taxi drivers look sane
    You wanna see me cracked
    Ripped apart, tied to the tracks
    I hope your dreams dont come true

    like a deer caught in headlights
    crucified on a cross of spite...
