I woke up near Rittenhouse Square
There was noise in the hall; snow was flowing in the air
And I could see just then the flashing spark
Of the match to my first smoke

Some houses are built to last
It's the couple inside that change too fast
I can see their faces looking

Davy's got a lesson, learned it the hard way
He's now a broken hearted man, and he hasn't got a word to say
He roll like a fence post, he stand like a tire
He's been thrown to the lions, says he wanna join the rodeo.
And it's a dogone shame that he's a dog on a chain
He says

So my money is gone, the funny paper never treated me wrong
I'm zig-zaggin' away, I'm not begging I'm just singing to say
I've got my faith in you to make it all come true
Every step that I make, my destination gets more phony and fake
It's too true don't you know that when you'r

Like you I've been hurt, seen my face in the dirt, but I never reacted like you
The last time we met, you seemed so upset, when you left town you did not say bye
Then I heard you'd been seen way down in Eugene, working as a factory slave
And though the life that you took came from no

Going whichever way the wind blows,
you were caught in your world,
I was lost in mine.

Going whichever way the wind blows,
staring through the windshield,
seeing the other side.
let it go, it will get easier,
let it go, just enjoy the ride.

Going whichever way

I got in late last night, my hotel room was stale and cold
I closed the blinds and looked for a movie
Turned up the heat and put the scotch on ice
picked up the phone and I dialed your number
Felt a relief when I heard your voice
We talked for an hour, three hours difference<

For me, you'd swim the sea
For you, I would too
Ain't much to ask for, ain't much to give but I know ours is a love that could forgive
Won't come to that babe, if you could have faith in me just like I got my faith in you
But having faith is the hardest thing to do
Yeah it's

If you want I'll be by your side, and if you don't maybe suicide
And it's my love that'd kill me dear, if you won't hold me and have me near
But don't you fret and don't be scared, cuz baby I am a millionaire
I'll make you a star and I'll make you a queen. I'll put your face in all t

I hurt you a lot, you said that you loved me as you packed your bags to go
Then you call on the phone to say that you miss me, then why did you go away?
Let it go or let it stay I guess I know what you're saying
It gets so cold while you're away that's why I hoped you'd be staying, b

Deep in this melody's a cool fire
Longing to stay with you
So wide awake and feeling inspired
So much that we can do
I wanna hear you tonight
Wrapped up in low candle light

Please stay I wanna hear you play
The small time blues
That's all we've got tonight
Y

It's tearing in the place where my heart once stood
and missing you baby ain't doing me good
It's gnawing and gnashing like teeth in my head
and there's times in the night I'd feel better off dead.
So I am over you tell me what good does it do
Cuz I'm drunk and drinking at Ha

When I was younger I was torn and frayed and lonely
Knew I had to move... Gotta hit the road
Someday I would move and hide out where no one would ever catch me
Cuz those'r bound to move gotta hit the road
Called for the hobo but he was no where to be found
He must be lost dow

With your sunspot stopwatch renegade savior stances
You say you take your chances
Or else you break your branches as you climb to that top shelf, tuna melt buckle up your
Seat belt
Rickie Lee Jones
And everything you think you own
Is fool's gold and ancient fossil stones<

Burning is the fire
Not like in any other house
She gave herself

A chimney for the smoke
Like laughter to a joke
She gave herself

Doesn't feeling like lyin'
When she's busy tryin'
To train love
Everybody wants to
Train love to stay

Train love

Doctor Grey was on the ferris wheel, missed the concert in the park
Left his children at the old folks home, paints self portraits in the dark
Plays his Mozart loud, cuts the coupons out, he thanks psychology for paying
But that pension plan's got less to give than he ever wanted
