No JohnsonvilleThere’s a crazy man screamin outta here On sleepless nights and full of beer There ain’t no way to get him back to Johnsonville
In your sleep there is no rain Out west there’s no corn or grain Ain’t no way to get him back to Johnsonville
Tell me you’re on hallowed ground But the Big Muddy’s goin’ down Who the hell’s gonna float your boat He’s turning green at the Palace Lounge Somebody get him outta town Ain’t no way to get him back to Johnsonville
Sitting Bull hears your prayers But he ain’t moved by yellow hairs And there ain’t no way to get him back to Johnsonville
In a covered wagon or a covered grave In the 7th Cavalry or a warrior brave There ain’t no way to get him back to Johnsonville
Tell me you’re on hallowed ground But the Big Muddy’s goin’ down Who the hell’s gonna float your boat He’s turning green at the Palace Lounge Somebody get him outta town Ain’t no way to get him back to Johnsonville
Tears are fallin in his sleep Big muddy ain’t getting deep Ain’t no way to get him back to Johnsonville |

Waitin for the day to pass Ain’t goin nowhere I’m out of gas Don’t want to hear of war today Slow children at play
If I had a dollar bill I’d run on up the hill Have me a drink today Slow children at play
I’ll take off my workin’ cap Grab my girl and take a nap We might roll in the hay Slow children at play
Let’s plan a jig and shake a dance Moonlight gives us a chance To laugh all our cares away Slow children at play
Glide and me we got the groove We don’t hardly have to move Smoke a ham or smoke a jay Slow children at play
Mi and Chuck are cookin’ in It’s cold outside but warm within Let the chips fall where they may Slow children at play
Waitin for the day to pass Ain’t goin nowhere I’m out of gas Don’t want to hear of war today Slow children at play
Waitin for the day to pass Ain’t goin nowhere I’m out of gas Don’t want to hear of war today Slow children at play |

Break the door and take me on down the road I’m broken now so take me on down the road The bluebird offered up his wings I understand him now when he sings Break the door and take me on down the road I’m broken now so take me on down the road
On a Japanese guitar I bought down in Omaha I wrote me a song that got me out of Omaha The bluebird offered up his wings I understand him now when he sings On a Japanese guitar I bought down in Omaha I wrote me a song that got me out of Omaha
So break the door and take me on down the road I’m broken now so take me on down the road |

When a rose drops its petals And they fall to the ground They change and become one with the earth But they’re still around
I know that you think of me When you come to this place Feel the wind and touch the grass As if it were my face
I was there when your mama cried Callin’ out your name And I was there when your daddy tried To cheer you through a losing game I’ll be there in the evening air When you’re thinking about me I’ll be there I’ll be there I’ll be there in the evening air When you’re thinking about me
So let your tears mix with the rain There’s nothin’ wrong with that Don’t cuss the clouds or the wind Remember where I’m at
I was there when your mama cried Callin’ out your name And I was there when your daddy tried To cheer you through a losing game I’ll be there in the evening air When you’re thinking about me I’ll be there Oh I’ll be there You know I’ll be there in the evening air When you’re thinking about me |

The simple life belongs to the young When the sweet songs roll off your tongue Don’t it seem all the good, fearless and brave All end up in an early grave
I swim at the river and I swim alone My thoughts and prayers are smooth and hard as stone Don’t it seem all the good, fearless and brave All end up in an early grave
I’m as hard as an old oak tree The bark and the leaves are fallin’ off of me Don’t it seem all the good, fearless and brave All end up in an early grave |

There’s barbwire around your heart You’re pushin’ us so far apart I can’t find my way back to you
Times can change when you cannot Some forget but I will not Even if I can’t find my way back to you
Let the world know I was your man Even if they don’t understand why I left you
Let the world know I was your man Even if they can’t understand why I left you
There’s barbwire around your heart You’re pushin’ us so far apart I can’t find my way back to you |

Troubadour I heard you’re headed for the sea Troubadour is there a place out there for me Troubadour, Troubadour you sing of love and war
Troubadour is there Irish in your veins I’m native blood can I ride with you across the plains Troubadour, Troubadour do you sing of home any more
Troubadour was your true love left behind Do sad songs bring her to your mind Troubadour, Troubadour you’re headed for a distant shore
Troubadour do you sometimes sing off key Troubadour it’s the same thing for me |

Unpredictable you can’t guess which way it runs Invisible like mist in the morning sun Irresistible like the best thing you ever ate Unbelievable it comes so close to hate
That’s love That’s love That’s love That’s love
It’s unattainable the stars are sometimes as near Unquenchable can’t feed it or soak it in beer But desirable if it flames try to stand clear Unbreakable that’s the way we talk around here
That’s love That’s love That’s love Hanny says That’s love

She said he only comes around about twice a year It’s his anger that you should fear Don’t ever do me even slightly wrong I taught my Daddy this little song
Daddy git yer gun Git yer gun git yer gun Daddy git yer gun git yer gun git yer gun Daddy
Daddy git yer gun Git yer gun git yer gun Daddy git yer gun git yer gun git yer gun Daddy
She said I’m kind of a Daddy’s girl But boy I’m willing to rock your world Love me soft and love me long But remember I taught Daddy my little song
Daddy git yer gun Git yer gun git yer gun Daddy git yer gun git yer gun git yer gun Daddy
Daddy git yer gun Git yer gun git yer gun Daddy git yer gun git yer gun git yer gun Daddy
Daddy git yer gun Git yer gun git yer gun Daddy git yer gun git yer gun git yer gun Daddy
Daddy git yer gun Git yer gun git yer gun Daddy git yer gun git yer gun git yer gun Daddy
Daddy git yer gun Git yer gun git yer gun Daddy git yer gun git yer gun git yer gun Daddy

It’s been a long ride for a good soldier But he don’t complain His dressing’s dirty on his belly And it’s hot ridin’ on that plane
His mama’s gonna cry when she sees him She don’t know he won’t be walkin’
It’s been a long ride from Baghdad Purple is his heart Friendly fire? A guessing game The night was comin’ apart
His mama’s gonna cry when she sees him She don’t know he won’t be walkin’ It’s been a long ride for a good soldier But he don’t complain
It’s been a long ride for a good soldier But he don’t complain |

There’s a time in your life When every cloud brings rain And yesterday’s rainbows Can’t bring light to your pain And you fumble with the future And forget menial tasks You can’t answer simple questions A good friend asks
Are you sleeping at night The question sounds a little formal How’s everybody doin’ Is it all back to normal Man you’re just prayin’ That one fine day Your pain will soften Without the memories goin’ away
I’m prayin’ for you So that one fine day Your pain will soften Without the memories goin’ away |

There’s a lighthouse at the harbor Looks like a candle from the sea And seems the moon overhead Is a yellow lantern to me Those great mountains in the distance You can paint on a canvas 4X4 All the big things they seem small now I’ve no perspective anymore
I have a lock of your hair I hold to the sunshine in the wind To me it looks like a wheat field That goes on and on without end Your cat looks like a lion On the living room floor All the small things seem big now I’ve no perspective anymore I’ve no perspective anymore |
