"Copperhead Road" (Download MP3)
Written by Steve Earle
From the album Steel Cowboys (1999)
Lyric Source: SteveEarle.net

Well my name's John Lee Pettimore
Same as my daddy and his daddy before
You hardly ever saw Grandaddy down here
He only came to town about twice a year
He'd buy a hundred pounds of yeast and some copper line
Everybody knew that he made moonshine

Now the revenue man wanted Grandaddy bad
He headed up the holler with everything he had
It's before my time but I've been told
He never came back from Copperhead Road

Now Daddy ran the whiskey in a big block Dodge
Bought it at an auction at the Mason's Lodge
Johnson County Sheriff painted on the side
Just shot a coat of primer then he looked inside
Well him and my uncle tore that engine down
I still remember that rumblin' sound

Well the sheriff came around in the middle of the night
Heard mama cryin', knew something wasn't right
He was headed down to Knoxville with the weekly load
You could smell the whiskey burnin' down Copperhead Road

I volunteered for the Army on my birthday
They draft the white trash first,'round here anyway
I done two tours of duty in Vietnam
And I came home with a brand new plan
I take the seed from Colombia and Mexico
I plant it up the holler down Copperhead Road

Well the D.E.A.'s got a chopper in the air
I wake up screaming like I'm back over there
I learned a thing or two from ol' Charlie don't you know
You better stay away from Copperhead Road

Copperhead Road
Copperhead Road
Copperhead Road

Love Is A Burning Thing
And It Makes A Fiery Ring
Bound By Wild Desire
I Fell Into A Ring Of Fire

I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire

I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire

The Taste Of Love Is Sweet
When Hearts Like Ours Meet
I Fell For You Like A Child
Oh, But The Fire Went Wild

I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire

I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire

And It Burns, Burns, Burns

"(All I Can Do Is) Dream You"
Written by Billy Burnette and David Malloy
From the album Mystery Girl (1989)
Lyric Source: album liner notes

I close my eyes
And love so warm and tender
Feel you touching me
I close my eyes
I don't even have to try
It comes so easily
I don't know why
I ever let us drift apart
But look who's sorry now
'Cause every time
I wake up and you're not around
It only brings me down

Oh baby
All I can do is dream you
All I can do is dream you
Oh baby
All I can do is dream you
All I can do is dream you

Everyday I pray
That somewhere down the line
We will meet again
I'll find a way
To get you back somehow
But baby until then

Oh baby
All I can do is dream you
All I can do is dream you

All I can do is dream you
All I can do is dream you
All I can do is dream you
All I can do is dream you
All I can do is dream you
All I can do is dream you


"It Came Upon The Midnight Clear " (Download MP3)
Written by Edmond Hamilton Sears
From the album The Christmas Album... A Gift Of Love (1990)
Lyric Source: Carols.org

It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold!

"Peace on the earth, good will to men,
From heaven's all gracious King!
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing.

Still through the cloven skies they come
With peaceful wings unfurled
And still their heavenly music floats
O'er all the weary world;

Above its sad and lowly plains
They bend on hovering wing.
And ever o'er its Babel sounds
The blessed angels sing.

Yet with te woes of sin and strife
The world hath suffered long;
Beneath the angel-strain have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong;

And man, at war with man, hears not
The love song which they bring:
O hush the noise, ye men of strife,
And hear the angels sing.

For lo! the days are hastening on,
By prophet bards foretold,
When, with the ever-circling years,
Shall come the Age of Gold;

When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling,
And all the world give back the song
Which now the angels sing.

Midnight shadows dancin' on my wall
Tossin', turnin', haven't slept at all
Victim of love
I feel so helpless
Victim of love
What can I do?
Victim of love
I feel so lonely
Lost without you
I need you

Spiderweb of thoughts won't turn me loose
Just a prisoner tangled up in you
Victim of love
Caught in the crossfire
Victim of love
Pain and desire
Victim of love
I'm walkin' the wire
Over you
I need you

I break out in a cold sweat
Can't even take the first step
To get over you
I'm out here in a blue haze
Thinkin' about the old days
Of nights spent with you
Got some cryin' to do

So I taste the bitter fruit of loneliness
I need you back, I can't go on like this
Victim of love
I'm out of control
Victim of love
Searchin' my soul
Victim of love
Where did it go?
I need you

I need you
I'm a victim of love
I need you
Victim of love
Just a victim of love
I need you
Victim of love
I'm a victim of love
Just a victim of love


"How Far Can You Go" (Download MP3)
Written by Billy Burnette and David Malloy
From the album Homer and Eddie (1989)
Lyric Source: Repeated listenings, mistakes possible

Well we used to burn it down almost every night
Runnin' with the devil 'til the mornin' light
When we got down, we'd get down low
And we'd rock 'til we could not rock no more

One big question, we wanted to know
But were afraid to ask
How far can you go?
How long will you last?

I left my hometown and I never looked back
Like a runaway train screamin' down the track
I pushed it to the limit every night and day
Knowing sooner or later I'd have a price to pay

One big question, we all want to know
But so afraid to ask
How far can you go?
(How far can you go?)
How long will you last?
(How long will you last?)
How far can you go?
(How far can you go?)
How long will you last?
(How long will you last?)
How long, babe?

I joined a rock and roll band at seventeen
Sang songs about lonely hearts and broken dreams
Well it took a few years but now we're doin' alright
Now we're runnin' from the devil 'til the morning light

One big question, they all want to know
I guess they'll always ask
How far can you go?
(How far can you go?)
How long will you last?
(How long will you last?)
How far can you go?
(How far can you go?)
How long will you last?
(How long will you last?)
How far can you go?
(How far can you go?)
How long will you last?

How far can you go?
(How far can you go?)
(How long will it last?)

I want to know, baby


"Givin' It Back"

From the album In the Meantime (2004)
Lyric Source: album liner notes

You made me calm
After the storm
And you gave me strength darlin'
Made me feel safe and warm

So much love
So many lessons learned
For all that you gave darlin'
You wanted nothing in return

That's why I'm givin' it back
Givin' it back, givin' it back to you
I am givin' it back
Givin' it back, givin' it back to you

When there was doubt
You gave me faith
When there was emptiness all around me
Well you know you filled that space

That's why I'm givin' it back
Givin' it back, givin' it back to you
I am givin' it back
Givin' it back, givin' it back to you

When you feel it
Why don't you pass it along
And then you'll never, no never, never go wrong

So I tripped and I fell
I got lost for a little while
But you caught me in your loving arms
Rescued me with your smile

That's why I'm givin' it back
Givin' it back, givin' it back to you
I am givin' it back
Givin' it back, givin' it back to you

Brother to brother
Where are you goin'
Walkin' a tightrope
Get on or off
Fear of rejection
Is all you're afraid of
But that never stopped you
No, it never stopped you
Nothin' ever stopped you before

I have seen you get through
Dire situations
From inside you that survivor
Drives your soul
When the times got toughest
You kept on tryin', always tryin'
In the darkest tunnel
You could see the light

Brother to brother
Where are you goin'
Walkin' a tightrope
Get on or off
Fear of rejection
Is all you're afraid of
But that never stopped you
No, it never stopped you
Nothin' ever stopped you before

This is your eleventh hour
Your decision
No one else can make your mind up
But yourself
See the light now, face it
You got the power, oh the power
So come on and get it up
Get in the fight

Brother to brother
Where are you goin'
Walkin' a tightrope
Get on or off
Fear of rejection
Is all you're afraid of
But that never stopped you
No, it never stopped you
Nothin' ever stopped you before

You're in a place
Where you're face to face
All alone with your own decision
If it matters at all
Get up and go to the wall

Brother to brother
Where are you goin'
Walkin' a tightrope
Get on or off
Fear of rejection
Is all you're afraid of
But that never stopped you
No, it never stopped you
Nothin' ever stopped you before
No, it never stopped you
No, it never stopped you
It never stopped you
No, it never stopped you
Never stopped you before
Nothin' ever stopped you
Never stopped you before...

Time goes slow when you're all alone
And you got no one to hold
You're right there, I'm right here
We're both out in the cold

Minutes pass like hours
Hours pass like days
"Cryin' Time" is the only song
The jukebox plays

If you're lookin' for someone

I've got nothin' to do
And all night to do it

Yeah, I got nothin' to do
And all night to do it

Right outside I've got a ride
That'll take us anywhere
We'll shake loose these lonesome blues
Baby, don't be scared

Pain is on our side
Time is on our hands
Sometimes it takes two broken hearts
To understand

I've heard it said before
If you don't care no more
Got to pick up tracks
Don't look back
Walk on out that door

I tell my friends it's easy
She's never on my mind
My life is so much better
From that day I said goodbye

When I tell myself I'm free
You know I'm only fooling me
'Cause no matter what I do
I can't get over you
I can't get over you

I tried to hide my pain
With a taste of the fast lane
It ain't no use to shake you loose
I still feel the same

I thought I could forget you
But that was just a lie
I'm just not the same without you
I don't even want to try

When I tell myself I'm free
You know I'm only fooling me
'Cause no matter what I do
I can't get over you

I don't know how it started
I don't know where I stand
I just want to be back
In your arms once again

One day the Princess Delores
Found herself lost in the forest
She was very frightened of course
The witch was in the sky

She stumbled down to the river
And might then escape her shivers
Snake and the old crock are fibbers
She'd never make the other side

Then all at once
A horny toad came bouncing down the road
A toad that thought he once was prince charming
****I haven't the slightest idea what he says here****
And her spell was alarming

Hip, hop
He came upon the princess
She could break the spell
If he could talk her into kisses
They would make him well

The witch was moving in on Delores
Her evil cries frightened the forest
Even the crock and snake found remorse
But the witch couldn't be denied

Froggy croaked to the princess
Won't you please give me a kiss
Then I'll take you across this river to the other side
Princess make up your mind

Remember when we first kissed
A thousand *****I give up!!! Please Email Me if you have any clue!*****

A pauper turned into a king

And then it happened to me

One extreme to the other
I had nothing 'til I had you
One extreme to the other
No one ever loved me like you do

A sad sap turned into a clown
A big old smile replaced a frown
Yesterday I was down
And then it happened to me

One extreme to the other
I had nothing 'til I had you
One extreme to the other
No one ever loved me like you do

The sweeter air in my balloon
Happiness replaced the gloom
Like a flower bud in bloom
Then it happened to me

One extreme to the other
I had nothing 'til I had you
One extreme to the other
No one ever loved me like you do

One extreme to the other
I had nothing 'til I had you

Somebody tell me
What's a poor girl supposed to do

Ooh he told me

Said he'd do it right
Oh, he shows me

I can't keep my mind
On my business
I can't keep my mind
On nothin' at all
Since you came into my life
I think about you all day long

I don't hear a thing
That people are saying
I got my head in the clouds
Whenever you cross my mind
It's hard to get my feet back on the ground

It's been in my heart
Yeah it's running away with me
There ain't nothin' I can do to stop it
From running away with me

Baby my heart
Yeah it's running away with me
So all I'm gonna do
Is just let it keep running away with me
