- Loving The Sinner, Hating The Sin
Talking aloud in a motel room
but no one is listening
the bed is unmade and the curtains are drawn
and the wind is whistling
under cover the lover is waiting
but I can't turn away
I've been loving the sinner
and hating the sin
- Medicine Show
I've got a Page One story buried in my yard
I've got a troubled mind
I'm going down to the medicine show
If I've got to choose between doing penance
And doing time
I'm going down to the medicine show
- Merrittville
Mathew (with the pugnose)
caught me with his sister in the wheatfield.
Got a couple of buddies
Tied me up and threw me in his oldsmobile.
I said : "Mathew are you crazy ?"
As he started in for the kill
Mathew slowed the olds to 10.
and left me here to die in Merritville
- My Old Haunts
These streets are paved with stories
Of faded hopes and glories
No sleepless nights, no worries
Hey, baby, what's your hurry?
I'd like to get to know you
I've got some things to show you
Let's take a walk to my old haunts
- Now I Ride Alone
Everyday I get another sympathy card
everyday I get another sympathy card
well, I hold them and I read them
read'em all again
everyday I get another sympathy card
yeah it seems that some people only wanna hear you cry and moan
they all know that now I ride alone
yeah
- When The Curtain Falls
Skipped ahead to the end of the book
Took a chance and took a look
Sometimes we can sometimes worry
Sometimes an answer isn't necessary
I'll see you when the curtain falls
In this town nothing is laid to rest
Nothing wasted, nothing's second guessed
- When You Smile
I dreamed last night I was born a thousand years ago
But when I woke up I was lost with only one place to go
When you smile, I don't know what to do
Cause I could lose everything in a minute or two
It's not fair to put you against all of the years behind me
But history kind of pales when you and you are aligned
