1. No Return Ticket
Trade your marriage
for a new course gal
ya yelling at him that’s it
me down the road
will you finally have the gut
as I can’t wait
you better sneak out
from that corrupted place
Ol' brown leather suitcase
is there made up
just your best clothes and lingerie
your chains break up with
No Return Ticket Station closed
No turning back Just a dusty road
No Return Ticket Sky is black
Take you by the hand walk you away run fast
He’d said it many times
“I’ll protect you” babe
but you had to deserve it
well that means pay
learned what pagan love means
all you’ve ever wished
sick a decent dose of spice
no longer bother hiss
ya go for the truth now
he once made you throw up
I’m afraid this spells big troubles
this is a theater of war
No Return Ticket Station closed
No turning back just a dusty road
No Return Ticket Sky is black
Take you by the hand walk you away run fast
giving him back his jewels
thinking of the town you grew up
where your dreams weren’t burnt
or auctioned for money or a room
straight on some more
a few miles just keep on running
a new town by the morn
will get you going
No Return Ticket
2, In Carolina
I did travel
many a road
don’t even remember
where I started from
all things have done
are on hold for you
as I still feel the same
as I used to
is it fake or is it true
am I to wait or leave tonight to start anew
Still have a good friend in Carolina
still have a good friend in Carolina
have a good friend in Carolina
and I guess a true love too
it’s been a long time
you’ve been gone
can't forget you
my heart still with you
I’m going to go back
to see an old friend
maybe I’ll look you up
maybe who knows
is there time or is it too late
am I to wait or leave tonight as she won’t wait
Still have a good friend in Carolina
still have a good friend in Carolina
have a good friend in Carolina
and I guess a true love too
Still have a good friend in Carolina
still have a good friend in Carolina
have a good friend in Carolina
and I guess a true love too
3. Love Boulevard
I did wait so many years
maybe too long before I was there
walking up and down on my path
on my own on that love boulevard
how many times we’ve been
hanging around there together again
without necessarily anything better
It felt right just being on that love boulevard
I never felt so good before that
never knew what love was all about
It’s a true feeling you can get
can t be explained just like that
how many times we’ve been
hanging around there together again
without necessarily anything better
It felt right just being on that love boulevard
It was kind of a mutual bet
yeah usually opposite attract
we did not why or how or what
it’s probably because of our love boulevard
How many times did we have to start
How many times did we fall apart
in the end would probably get over all that
will I ever recover from our love blvd
how many times we’ve been
hanging around there together again
without necessarily anything better
It felt right just being on that love boulevard
It was kind of a mutual bet
yeah usually opposite attract
we did not why or how or what
it’s probably because of our love boulevard
4. Everybody Changes In Time
Please forgive me
I'm drifting away you said
blame my saint
must have had a bad day
even the brave one breaks down
in a bloody fight
and the father hands up back down
when the son just hits the light
Everybody changes with time
everybody changes
even you and me
you'll see everybody changes
Clades ancestors
extant or extinct
lizard chamaleon
didn't want to change their skins
is the theory of evolution
then really against our love
if you got to loose everything you got
once for all
Everybody changes with time
everybody changes
even you and me
you'll see everybody changes
you used to count on me
now you turn and look away
you used to sit on my knees
when the night was cold and pale
you were the one to fill up my dreams
no matter how tough it could get
you used to back up my game
now life is as hard as it can get
Everybody changes with time
everybody changes
even you and me
you'll see everybody changes
5.. Mother Nature
Quit your fears and your sorrow
sell ’em back to the devil
still feel your lips
stuck on my ear
and I felt like in the arms of mother nature
as yours are the arms of mature nature
Let yourself go surrender to love
As you never knew true love before
Let yourself go surrender to me
right in the arms of mother nature
I can see our future you said
come live down south
Let's take a ride babe
for the rest of our lives
and I felt like in the arms of mother nature
as your are the arms of mature nature
Let yourself go surrender to love
As you never knew true love beore
Let yourself go surrender to me
right in the arms of mother nature
Quit your fears and your sorrow
sell ’em back to the devil
still feel your lips
stuck on my ear
6. On A Bourbon or Two
You know gal what my scenario is
they’ll put me down under that road
hey what’s the matter with you she says
why you’re feeling so miserable
All these nasty thoughts will slip away very soon
need no doctor will fix everything for you on a bourbon or two
All you should do is think of heaven
waiting to find everybody you care for
not think of worms all up ‘n down your hands
your grave won’t be your soul’s final home
All these nasty thoughts will slip away very soon
need no doctor will fix everything for you on a bourbon or two
Everyone I meet pretends they know
how to deal with business gambling and babes
or how to be the king of Rock n’ Roll
cool down now play properly
All these nasty thoughts will slip away very soon
need no doctor will fix everything for you on a bourbon or two
Good life for a while ended up disaster man
stand up have yourself one more go
or sit back and think of me smoke one more cigar
bring the money home be the old town mogul
All these nasty thoughts will slip away very soon
need no doctor will fix everything for you on a bourbon or two
Life is one kind of miracle they say
you could make it what you want
even one day you’re up next sad depressed
and you’re hopeless kind of lost
All these nasty thoughts will slip away very soon
need no doctor will fix everything for you on a bourbon or two
7. Temporary Man
In a temporary store
dealing with tattoos and mankind
your past behind that Warhol sign
a future you won’t find
I’m your temporary man a Temporary man
Still your temporary man one day I’ll reach you in the sky
It was time for you to go
rushing out to your ordeal
when we finally split for good
you know my horse died in the field
I’m your temporary man a Temporary man
Still your temporary man one day I’ll reach you in the sky
My lady she wore black most of her days
ran from her Hollywood fake friends
it’s to me sooner or later
my cards played out like a magic game
I’m your temporary man a Temporary man
Still your temporary man one day I’ll reach you in the sky
You didn’t long for full time stories
Though you needed someone to rely on
no fake valentine’s jewelry
your free spirit my sweet cowgirl
I’m your temporary man a Temporary man
Still your temporary man one day I’ll reach you in the sky
We’ve been losers sometimes winners
one day wind had changed back our side
me after being the one who wanted freedom
now I wish you here with me tonight
I’m your temporary man a Temporary man
Still your temporary man one day I’ll reach you in the sky
8. Letter from a soldier
If I only had a few more days to live
and If I’ll never own any other thing
may today be everything all the rest be nothing
our love beyond the days and the things
It’s beyond the chains of sorrow
beyond today and tomorrow
our love beyond the days
and the things
We’ll be first date lovers all of the times we wish
don’t want ties of time don’t need weights of things
may time be no time may today be the end tomorrow
our love beyond the days and the things
It’s beyond the chains of sorrow
beyond today and tomorrow
our love beyond the days
and the things
I do not long each day to become any shorter
and each heavy thing to become lighter in the end
until we can both lay on the ground
our love beyond the days and the things
It’s beyond the chains of sorrow
beyond today and tomorrow
our love beyond the days
and the things
If one day I won't see you
or if anything prevent it
that will be the face of the implacable death
our love beyond the days and the things
It’s beyond the chains of sorrow
beyond today and tomorrow
our love beyond the days
and the things
9. You're Like a Rock
Like a Rock
under western skies
you’re boots are tired
no more rides
You hugged me
it felt for
rest of my life
like a shot of whiskey your memory died
You’ve been running from your past
this you don’t hide
You were stuck well at last
left behind that dirty crowd
Like a Rock like a rock Like a Rock Like a Rock
You’re like a Rock
under western skies
Your scars your medals
what was the price
you played hard to get
then ran out of time
your face got sad
with that steel guitar and slide
You’ve been running from your past
this you don’t hide
You were stuck well at last
left behind that dirty crowd
Like a Rock like a rock Like a Rock Like a Rock
Like in a dream
you went away like that
no time for romance
cowboys or knights
you survived through
all kind of places
now do you
still feel paralyzed
You’ve been running from your past
this you don’t hide
You were stuck well at last
left behind that dirty crowd
Like a Rock like a rock Like a Rock Like a Rock
10. Death of A Dream
Our dream (scheme) forever broken
I’m swimming in the open seas
any limits now unspoken
untied our game’s rules now I see
in a town name means money
streets names were numbers set progressively
lost ourselves in a dead end street
round and round again and again
All of my things are leading me to think
all of my things are leading me to think
this is the death of a dream death of a dream of a dream
the death of a dream death of a dream of a dream
We had stayed more I wished
things would go back right in place
no need for staring at the Odyssey or any stars anyway
just go on with our down to earth practice I say
A few years later that dirty hotel
hidden foggy coast, a lagoon, a hill
unaware we were already on separate bills
view on a forgotten square, a turned off fireplace this is the kill
All of my things are leading me to think
all of my things are leading me to think
this is the death of a dream death of a dream of a dream
the death of a dream death of a dream of a dream
I was not the one to compromise
a bad actor in second hand films, no treasure, no knot
local ruins falling on mean people backing gangs
of devils bringing ice cold to our feelings
At a New York exhibition
a weird guy name I can't tell
offered to teach me arts, said by the way how did you felt
he’ll get me out of my misery, instead drilled my soul’s pain well
All of my things are leading me to think
all of my things are leading me to think
this is the death of a dream death of a dream of a dream
the death of a dream death of a dream of a dream
When I’m with you would never ever leave you
need to protect you from this rough world
while away I do tend to let you go
relief without you don’t want to see you anymore
.
Contemporary painters, poets, rough ramblers,
in centuries they won't contain
this irreversible Armageddon
in vain am I still a rolling gambler
All of my things are leading me to think
all of my things are leading me to think
this is the death of a dream death of a dream of a dream
the death of a dream death of a dream of a dream
