…(John Hiatt)
Some folks live by a big blue ocean
Some folks live in the center of town
Some folks live without any notion
Me I'm…
…on
Chorus:
Somewhere the ties won't bind me
Someplace where love can't find me
Somewhere the past's behind me
Someplace where love…
…can't find me
Someplace where love can't find me
It's the same old sad situation
Fall in love and it breaks your heart
Surely…

Chorus:
Somewhere the ties won't bind me
Someplace where love can't find me

Fall in love and it breaks your heart
Surely…

…the sky
Landed there at heaven's gate, much to my surprise
And an angel with a halo walked up and said, ";Hey, dude!
Welcome…
…to Heaven...we've got this glass of milk for you.";
(Chorus)
I said, ";Hey St. Peter, won't you open up your gate...
I hear the Devil calling…
…to stay in Heaven no more.";
Well, Satan came a-running, said, ";Hey, that boy is mine!";
He had a John Hiatt T-Shirt and trouble in his eye…

…(John Hiatt)
Just a one more kiss
He'll have to miss
This night with you
Now you're guilty of this secret love as I am too…
When lights are low
Then we get to lesson three
Where he gets down on his knees
And begs you to stop at the door
Just before…
…the lights
On this affair
Then he'll find somebody new
And she will hurt him too
'Cause there must be millions just like you…

…(Ry Cooder/John Hiatt/James Dickinson)
There's a place where I've been told
Every street is paved with gold
And it's just across…
…the borderline
And when it's time to take your turn
Here's one lesson that you must learn
You could lose more than you'll ever…
…hope to find
When you reach the broken promised land
And every dream slips through your hands
Then you'll know that it's too late…

…(John Hiatt)
You said that I would be sorry
If you went away
You said I wouldn't be happy
Without hell to pay
You said…
…the teardrops would fall
Between the bedroom walls
You said that I would regret
But it hasn't happened yet
Your friends come over…
…you on the street
My heart don't miss a beat
Love and hostility
Don't mean a thing to me
I find…

By John Hiatt
Take it easy, baby
But take as much as you can
'Cause I've got all the sweet lovin'
That you could possibly stand…
I'll take your tears for drinking water
Make your pain sweet company
You can lay all your burdens on my shoulder
'Cause you mean…
…yeah
And with every beat of our hearts
You see we're defying gravity
Well, just a little bit further on up the stream
There's…

…(ry cooder/john hiatt/jim dickinson)
There's a place, so I've been told,
Every street is paved with gold
And it's just across…
…the borderline
And when it's time to take your turn
There's a lesson that you must learn
You may lose more than you'll ever hope to find…
…
(chorus)
And when you reach that broken promised land
And all your dreams slip though your hand
You have learned it's too…

Or maybe scared I won't
I'm sitting in my garage staring at my motorcycle
My heart is so heavy, like a stack of Bibles
Swear I need you…
…negotiate
The terms of my surrender
I love you too much, babe
Go on and have your way with me
Well, emperors and reigning kings…
…and satin sheets
But I'm ready to meet your demands
Words of glory, and ashes and dust
At the end of the story there's just us
I love you too much, baby
To ever say goodbye

I'm a real man, I got a real guitar
I'm a real man, don't even know where the boys are
Don't want to frighten you…
…little girl, you're so sweet and nice
Don't want to have to tell you twice
I'm a real man,
I'm goin' to rock like a real man
Don't…
…get no shock from that elevator music in your computer program
How'd you like to rock with a real man?
Yes I'm a real man, baby…

…my roots at
GW crew, rep where I grew up strengthen my words don't f*ck with no pull ups
The light shines through us, rats…
…in the sewers where feds drive by with the Hiatt to screw us
Just cuz' we're hooded stereotypical actions but the message i send through…
…in the mist with no distinct figure in the distance, trippin'
Realign with them, the peace we will find will all rise up…

She paints her fingernails forbidden tones
She wants nervous youth on the telephone
He don't call
She sticks…
…future down at the desk
Now they're drawing blood for the grown-up test
Something crawls
Beneath her lily skin
And her doll…

I didn't say we wouldn't hurt anymore
That's how you learn you just get burned
We don't have to feel like dirt…
…a little off course
But I left that motor running
Now if you're feeling down and out
Come on baby drive south
with the one you love
Come…
…wearing us down
Don't turn away now darling
Lets fire it up and wind it out
Come on baby drive south
with the one you love
Come…
