lyrics
buy track
The only two things in life That make it worth livin' Is guitars to tune good And firm feelin' women I don't need my name in the marquis lights I got my song and I got you with me tonight Maybe it's time we got back to the basics of love Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas With Waylon and Willie and the boys This successful life we're livin' Got us feuding like the Hatfields and McCoys Between Hank Williams pain songs And Newbury's train songs And blue eyes cryin' in the rain Out in Luckenbach, Texas Ain't nobody feelin' no pain So baby let's sell your diamond ring Buy some boots and faded jeans and go away This coat and tie is choking me In your high society you cry all day We've been so busy Keepin' up with the Jones Four car garage and we're still building on Maybe it's time we got Back to the basics of love Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas With Waylon and Willie and the boys This successful life we're livin' Got us feuding like the Hatfields and McCoys Between Hank Williams pain songs And Newbury's train songs And blue eyes cryin' in the rain Out in Luckenbach, Texas Ain't nobody feelin' no pain Let's go to Luckenbach, Texas With Willie and Waylon and the boys This successful life we're livin' Got us feuding like the Hatfields and McCoys Between Hank Williams pain songs And Jerry Jeff's train songs And blue eyes cryin' in the rain Out in Luckenbach, Texas There ain't nobody feelin' no pain

Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys 02:48
lyrics
buy track
Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold They'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold Lonestar belt buckles and old faded levis And each night begins a new day If you don't understand him, an' he don't die young He'll prob'ly just ride away Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys 'Cos they'll never stay home and they're always alone Even with someone they love Cowboys like smokey old pool rooms and clear mountain mornings Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night Them that don't know him won't like him and them that do Sometimes won't know how to take him He ain't wrong, he's just different but his pride won't let him Do things to make you think he's right Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys Don't let 'em pick guitars or drive them old trucks Let 'em be doctors and lawyers and such Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys 'Cos they'll never stay home and they're always alone Even with someone they love

Johnny B. Goode 03:14
lyrics
buy track
Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans Way back up in the woods among the evergreens There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode Who never ever learned to read or write so well But he could play a guitar just like a-ringing a bell Go go Go Johnny go! Go Go Johnny go! Go Go Johnny go! Go Go Johnny go! Go Johnny B. Goode! He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track Oh, the engineer would see him sittin' in the shade Strummin' with the rhythm that the drivers made The people passing by, they would stop and say "Oh my, but that little country boy could play" Go go Go Johnny go! Go Go Johnny go! Go Go Johnny go! Go Go Johnny go! Go Johnny B. Goode! His mother told him, "Someday you will be a man, And you will be the leader of a big ol' band Many people comin' from miles around To hear you play your music when the sun go down Maybe someday your name'll be in lights Sayin' 'Johnny B. Goode tonight!'" Go go Go Johnny go! Go go go Johnny go! Go go go Johnny go! Go go go Johnny go! Go Johnny B. Goode!

Working Class Hero 03:20
lyrics
buy track
As soon as you're born they make you feel small By giving you no time instead of it all 'Til the pain is so big you feel nothing at all A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be They hurt you at home and they hit you at school They hate you if you're clever and they despise a fool 'Til you're so fucking crazy you can't follow their rules A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be When they've tortured and scared you for 20 odd years Then they expect you to pick a career When you can't really function, you're so full of fear A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be Keep you doped with religion, and sex, and T.V. And you think you're so clever and classless and free But you're still fucking peasants as far as I can see A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be There's room at the top they are telling you still But first you must learn how to smile as you kill If you want to be like the folks on the hill A working class hero is something to be A working class hero is something to be If you want to be a hero well just follow me If you want to be a hero well just follow me

O Primeiro Dia 03:52
lyrics
buy track
A principio é simples, anda-se sozinho Passa-se nas ruas bem devagarinho Está-se bem no silêncio e no burburinho Bebe-se as certezas num copo de vinho E vem-nos à memória uma frase batida Hoje é o primeiro dia do resto da tua vida Hoje é o primeiro dia do resto da tua vida Pouco a pouco o passo faz-se vagabundo Dá-se a volta ao medo, dá-se a volta ao mundo Diz-se do passado, que está moribundo Bebe-se o alento num copo sem fundo E vem-nos à memória uma frase batida Hoje é o primeiro dia do resto da tua vida Hoje é o primeiro dia do resto da tua vida E é então que amigos nos oferecem leito Entra-se cansado e sai-se refeito Luta-se por tudo o que se leva a peito Bebe-se, come-se e alguém nos diz: Bom proveito! E vem-nos à memória uma frase batida Hoje é o primeiro dia do resto da tua vida Hoje é o primeiro dia do resto da tua vida Depois vêm cansaços e o corpo fraqueja Olha-se para dentro e já pouco sobeja Pede-se o descanso, por curto que seja Apagam-se dúvidas num mar de cerveja E vem-nos à memória uma frase batida Hoje é o primeiro dia do resto da tua vida Hoje é o primeiro dia do resto da tua vida Enfim duma escolha faz-se um desafio Enfrenta-se a vida de fio a pavio Navega-se sem mar, sem vela ou navio Bebe-se a coragem até dum copo vazio E vem-nos à memória uma frase batida Hoje é o primeiro dia do resto da tua vida Hoje é o primeiro dia do resto da tua vida E entretanto o tempo fez cinza da brasa E outra maré cheia virá da maré vaza Nasce um novo dia e no braço outra asa Brinda-se aos amores com o vinho da casa E vem-nos à memória uma frase batida Hoje é o primeiro dia do resto da tua vida

Com um Brilhozinho nos Olhos 03:59

Com um brilhozinho nos olhos E a saia rodada Escancaraste a porta do bar Trazias o cabelo aos ombros Passeando de cá para lá Como as ondas do mar Conheço tão bem esses olhos E nunca me enganam O que é que aconteceu diz lá É que hoje fiz um amigo E coisa mais preciosa no mundo não há É que hoje fiz um amigo E coisa mais preciosa no mundo não há Com um brilhozinho nos olhos Metemos o carro Muito à frente, muito à frente dos bois Ou seja, fizemos promessas Trocámos retratos Traçámos projetos a dois Trocámos de roupa, trocámos de corpo Trocámos de beijos, tão bom é tão bom E com um brilhozinho nos olhos Tocámos guitarras Pelo menos a julgar pelo som E com um brilhozinho nos olhos Tocámos guitarras Pelo menos a julgar pelo som E o que é que foi que ele disse? E o que é que foi que ele disse? Hoje soube-me a pouco Hoje soube-me a pouco Hoje soube-me a pouco Hoje soube-me a pouco Hoje soube-me a pouco Hoje soube-me a pouco Hoje soube-me a pouco Hoje soube-me a pouco Passa aí mais um bocadinho Que estou quase a ficar louco Hoje soube-me a tanto Hoje soube-me a tanto Hoje soube-me a tanto Hoje soube-me a tanto Portanto Hoje soube-me a pouco Com um brilhozinho nos olhos Corremos os estores Pusemos o rádio no on Acendemos a já costumeira Velinha de igreja Pusemos no off o telefone E olha não dá para contar Mas sei que tu sabes Daquilo que sabes que eu sei E com um brilhozinho nos olhos Ficámos parados Depois do que não te contei E com um brilhozinho nos olhos Ficámos parados Depois do que não te contei Com um brilhozinho nos olhos Dissemos sei lá O que nos passou pela tola Do estilo, és um number one Dou-te vinte valores És um treze no totobola E às duas por três Bebemos um copo Fizemos o quatro e pintámos o sete E com um brilhozinho nos olhos Ficámos imóveis A dar uma de tête a tête E com um brilhozinho nos olhos Ficámos imóveis A dar uma de tête a tête E o que é que foi que ele disse? E o que é que foi que ele disse? Hoje soube-me a pouco Hoje soube-me a pouco Hoje soube-me a pouco Hoje soube-me a pouco Hoje soube-me a pouco Hoje soube-me a pouco Hoje soube-me a pouco Hoje soube-me a pouco Passa aí mais um bocadinho Que estou quase a ficar louco Hoje soube-me a tanto Hoje soube-me a tanto Hoje soube-me a tanto Hoje soube-me a tanto Portanto Hoje soube-me a pouco E com um brilhozinho nos olhos Tentámos saber Para lá do que muito se amou Quem éramos nós Quem queríamos ser E quais as esperanças Que a vida roubou E olhei-o de longe E mirei-o de perto Que quem não vê caras Não vê corações E com um brilhozinho nos olhos Guardei um amigo Que é coisa que vale milhões E com um brilhozinho nos olhos Guardei um amigo Que é coisa que vale milhões E o que é que foi que ele disse? E o que é que foi que ele disse? Hoje soube-me a pouco Hoje soube-me a pouco Hoje soube-me a pouco Hoje soube-me a pouco Hoje soube-me a pouco Hoje soube-me a pouco Hoje soube-me a pouco Hoje soube-me a pouco Passa aí mais um bocadinho Que estou quase a ficar louco Hoje soube-me a tanto Hoje soube-me a tanto Hoje soube-me a tanto Hoje soube-me a tanto Portanto Hoje soube-me a pouco

Stoney End 02:46
lyrics
buy track
I was born from love And my poor mother worked the mines I was raised on the Good Book Jesus Till I read between the lines Now I don't believe I want to see the morning Going down the stoney end I never wanted to go Down the stoney end Mama let me start all over Cradle me, Mama, cradle me again I can still remember him With love light in his eyes But the light flickered out and parted As the sun began to rise Now I don't believe I want to see the morning Going down the stoney end I never wanted to go Down the stoney end Mama let me start all over Cradle me, mama, cradle me again (Cradle me, mama, cradle me again Mama, cradle me again...) Never mind the forecast 'Cause the sky has lost control 'Cause the fury and the broken thunders Come to match my raging soul Now I don't believe I want to see the morning Going down the stoney end I never wanted to go Down the stoney end Mama let me start all over Cradle me, mama, cradle me again Going down the stoney end...

I ain't gone 'n' give up on love Love won't give up on me I ain't gone 'n' give up on love Love ain't gone 'n' give up on me Every tear that I've cried Only washed away the fear inside Now I, I ain't gone 'n' give up on love Every beat of my heart Pounds with joy and not with pain Every beat of my heart Pounds with joy and not in vain And although those are painful memories Only brought me to my knees I was just given up on love Little Johnny Taylor told us so long ago What about the midnight cryin' Wo that cheatin' and lyin' What about the price that will Oh surely be paid Those that gave up on love Love will have its day I ain't givin' up on love I ain't gone 'n' give up on love Love won't give up on me I ain't gone 'n' give up on love Love won't give up on me Every time I cry Love just won't let me be

Mary had a little lamb His fleece was white as snow Everywhere that child went Your little lamb was sure to go He followed her to school one day And broke the teacher's rule What a time did they have That day at school. Tisket tasket baby A green and yellow basket Sent a letter to my baby On my way I passed it
