Up with the sun, gone with the wind,
She always said I was lazy
Leavin' my home, leavin' my friends,
Runnin' when things get too crazy
Out to the road, out 'neath the stars,
Feelin' the breeze, passin' the cars

Gotta find a woman be good to me
Won't hide my liquor try to serve me tea
Cause I'm a stone jack baller and my heart is true
And I'll give everything that I got to you, yes I will

 

Easy wind
Going cross the Bayou today
There's a whole lotta women
Out on the streets in a red today
And the river keep a talkin'
But you never heard a word it said

Close up the bar
You know the gates of the brewery
She's out there every night
And she sure ain't drinkin' tea
I love that woman
She's the best one that I had
But she's got this habit now
And it sure is gettin' bad.

That whiskey drinkin' woman
Is makin' a poor man out of me.

From nowhere through a caravan
Around the campfire light
A lovely woman in motion
With hair as dark as night
Her eyes were like that of a cat in the dark
That hypnotized me with love


She was a gypsy woman
She was a gypsy woman

American woman
Stay away from me
American woman
Mama, let me be

Don't come hangin' 'round my door
I don't wanna see your face no more
I got more important things to do
Than spend my time growin' old with you

Now woman, stay away
American woman, listen what I say

My mama said
That your life is a gift
And my mama said
There's much weight you will lift
And my mama said
Leave those bad boys alone
And my mama said
Be home before the dawn
And my mama said
You can be rich or poor
But my mama said
You can be big or small

 

But I'm always on the run (always on the run)
But I'm always on the run

On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas
Rising up through the air

 

Up ahead in the distance
I saw a shimmering light
Head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night

 

There she stood in the doorway
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself
"This could be heaven or this could be hell"

Now, the roving gambler he was very bored
Trying to create a next world war
He found a promoter who nearly fell off the floor
He said, "I never engaged in this kind of thing before
But yes, I think it can be very easily done
We'll just put some bleachers out in the sun
And have it on Highway 61"

Little darlin', it's been a long, cold, lonely winter
Little darlin', it feels like years since it's been here

 

Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun
And I say, it's alright

No I would not give you false hope
On this strange and mournful day
But the mother and child reunion
Is only a motion away

 

Oh, little darlin' of mine
I just can't believe It's so
Though it seems strange to say
I never been laid so low
In such a mysterious way
And the course of a lifetime runs
Over and over again

… You're a no good heartbreaker
You're a liar and you're a cheat
And I don't know why
I let you do these things to me

 

My friends keep telling me
That you ain't no good
But oh, they don't know
That I'd leave you if I could

 

… I guess I'm uptight
And I'm stuck like glue

'Cause I ain't never
I ain't never, I ain't never, no, no (loved a man)
(The way that I, I love you)

The police in New York City
They chased a boy right through the park
And in a case of mistaken identity
They put a bullet through his heart


Heartbreakers with your forty-four
I want to tear your world apart
You heartbreaker with your forty-four
I want to tear your world apart

You, you give me love, and all of the things, that I will want forever
Yes you, sweep away pain, giving me joy, I know will last forever

You little trustmaker, you're no heart-breaker
Yes sir
You little trustmaker, you're no heart-breaker
You little trustmaker

You're a heartbreaker
Dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around with me
You're a heartbreaker
Dream maker, love taker
Don't you mess around, no, no, no

Do you believe in magic in a young girl's heart?
How the music can free her whenever it starts
And it's magic if the music is groovy
It makes you feel happy like an old-time movie
I'll tell you about the magic, and it'll free your soul
But it's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout a rock 'n' roll

… Baby, can you understand me now?
Sometimes I get a little mad
Don't you know, no one alive can always be an angel
When things go wrong, I seem to go bad

 

… I'm just a soul whose intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

"Son," she said, "have I got a little story for you
What you thought was your daddy, was nothing but a...
While you were sittin' home alone at age thirteen
Your real daddy was dyin'
Sorry you didn't see him, but I'm glad we talked"


Oh, I, oh I'm still alive
Hey, I, oh I'm still alive
Hey, I, oh I'm still alive

Well, my daddy left home when I was three
Didn't leave very much to my mom and me
Except this old guitar and an empty bottle of booze
Now I don't blame him 'cause he run and hid
But the meanest thing that my daddy ever did
Was before he left, he went and named me Sue

(got good and drunk the night before, so I looked and felt my best when I went in that morning, 'cause I wanted to look like the All-American Kid From New York City. I wanted to feel like I wanted to be the All-american Kid from New York), and I walked in, sat down, I was hung down, Brung down, hung up and all kinds of mean, nasty, ugly things

Looking out on the morning rain
I used to feel so uninspired
And when I knew I had to face another day
Lord, it made me feel so tired

 

Before the day I met you
Life was so unkind
You're the key
To my piece of mind

 

'Cause you make me feel
You make me feel
You make me feel
Like a natural woman
(Woman)

In the early morning rain
With a dollar in my hand
With an achin' in my heart
And my pockets full of sand


I'm a long way from home
And I miss my loved ones so
In the early morning rain
With no place to go

Come Saturday morning
I'm goin' away with my friend
We'll Saturday-laugh more than half of the day (ay-ay-ay)
Just I and my friend (my friend)
Dressed up in our rings and our Saturday things
And then we'll move on
But we will remember long after Saturday's gone
(Come Saturday morning, come Saturday morning)

Sunday morning, rain is falling
Steal some covers, share some skin (I like that)
Clouds are shrouding us in moments unforgettable
You twist to fit the mold that I am in

Well, shake it up, baby, now (shake it up baby)
Twist and shout (twist and shout)
Come on, come on, come, come on, baby, now (come on baby)
Come on and work it on out (work it on out)
Well, work it on out, honey (work it on out)
You know you look so good (look so good)
You know you got me goin' now (got me goin')
Just like you knew you would (like I knew you would)

Judge said "Son, I know your baby well
But that's a secret I can't never tell"
Dupree said "Judge, well it's well understood,
And you got to admit that that sweet, sweet jelly's so good"

 

Well you know son you just can't figure,
First thing you know you're gonna pull that trigger
And it's no wonder your reason goes bad,
Jelly roll will drive you stone mad

 

* Robert Hunter claims to have never written a song while tripping. He did however state that he wrote one song drunk, "Dupree's Diamond Blues."  This of course is an excerpt.

RIP WhoTom. a thread is posted in OTW with a beautiful message posted posthumously . For Tom. Vaya con Dios 

 

 

Got a feeling inside (can't explain)
It's a certain kind (can't explain)
I feel hot and cold (can't explain)
Yeah, down in my soul, yeah (can't explain)

I said (can't explain)

 

I'm feeling good now, yeah, but (can't explain)

Dizzy in the head and I'm feeling blue
The things you've said, well, maybe they're true
I'm gettin' funny dreams again and again
I know what it means, but

 

Can't explain
I think it's love
Try to say it to you
When I feel blue

But I can't explain (can't explain)
Yeah, hear what I'm saying, girl (can't explain)

Well, a simple kind of life never did me no harm,
raising me a family and working on the farm.
My days are all filled with an easy country charm.

Thank God I’m a country boy.

 

 

 

Bumping @WhoTom's last post.  Lyrics feel right.

Oh, let me flow into the ocean
Oh, let me get back to the sea
Let me be stormy and let me be calm
Let the tide in and set me free
Set me free

They call it stormy Monday
But Tuesday's just as bad
They call it stormy Monday
But Tuesday's just as bad
Lord, and Wednesday's worse
And Thursday's all so bad

Don't let us get sick
Don't let us get old
Don't let us get stupid, all right?
Just make us be brave
And make us play nice
And let us be together tonight

All of my nights
Why did my lover have to pick last night
To get down?
(Last night, last night)
Doesn't it matter
That I have to feed the both of us
Employment's down
He tells me in his bedroom voice
"C'mon honey, let's go make some noise"
Time it goes so fast
(When you're having fun)

It's just another manic Monday
I wish it was Sunday
'Cause that's my fun day
"I don't have to run" day
