Ain’t no doubt about it
This ain’t my lucky day
Ain’t gonna’ scream or shout about it baby
You don’t listen anyway

One foot in the waste land
Two feet in the grave, hey, hey

A real blue condition
That I’m livin’ in
Bad luck and mostly trouble
Taken me to my end

One foot in the waste land
Two feet in the grave, hey, hey

Don’t go chasing all those midnight blues
You will find out soon you’re born to lose

Hold ‘em, roll ‘em, kingdom come
A troubled man I’m running from
Pocket full of hundred dollar bills
Don’t give me no thrill

One foot in the waste land
Two feet in the grave, hey, hey

Don’t go chasing all those midnight blues
You will find out soon you’re born to lose, born to lose

I’m gonna take a piece of you
I’m gonna take a piece, cause I’m able
You won’t feel me coming
Just you wait and see

It’s just a necessary illusion
The way I creep into your life
You won’t feel me coming
Just you wait and see

We gonna take some action
We gonna take some action
We gonna shake some action, tonight

I can live inside your silence
With the illusion you are free
You won’t feel me coming
Just you wait and see

We gonna take some action
We gonna take some action
We gonna shake some action, tonight

We gonna take some action
We gonna take some action
We gonna shake some action
We gonna shake some action
We gonna shake some action

You say you don’t want
You don’t want me around
Push and shove, talking like your taking me down
Smokestack Lightning, got nothing on you
Take it easy baby, now here’s what we do
Oh yeah, it’s gettin’ deeper

Love or hate, now baby I can’t wait to see ya
I can’t deny it’s so easy to see how I’m feeling
Smokestack Lightning, got nothing on you
And take it easy baby, here’s what we do
Oh yeah, it’s gettin’ deeper

I don’t know what we’re running from
The only thing we’re having is too much fun
And I don’t care what some people say
The hand of fate just rolls our way

It’s gettin’ deeper
It’s gettin’ deeper

Like a late night ride, or strong riptide
I’m just wandering
If, all things connect
It’s a strange love world were living in
Smokestack Lightning, got nothing on you
Take it easy baby, now here’s what we do
Oh yeah, it’s gettin’ deeper
It’s gettin’ deeper

Like a young girls smile, it’ gettin’ deeper
You gonna play where the big boy stays, it’s gettin’ deeper
Now if a too tall Jesus should come between us, it’s getting deeper
Oh yes, it’s getting deeper
Oh yes, it’s getting deeper

Some things are certain
A few things, I might know
But never in this sweet short life
I have been so sure

You may catch a train my friend
You may find your ride
Where it’s going I don’t know
Or, you might not arrive

Standing on the outside
Baby can’t you realize
Open your eyes
Open your eyes

You may ride the snake again
Or you may burn it down
Smoke that tale ‘till the end
You may get swallowed down

Now please, if you live your life
But don’t live it all in vain
Just you know and don’t despair
Who said life is fair

Standing on the outside
Baby don’t you realize
Open your eyes

You’re looking for a reason why
Don’t let it pass you by
Open your eyes

Open your eyes

Standing on the outside
Baby can’t you realize
Open your eyes
Open your eyes

Looking for a reason why
Don’t let it pass you by
Open your eyes
Open your eyes

Standing on the outside
Baby can’t you realize
Live it, love it
Live it, love it

Two weeks in another town
Don’t believe you’d let me down
Two weeks I’m not letting go
What we had and what I know

This can’t go on forever, my friend
Won’t you dream with me awhile
Can’t take this thing they call your heart and soul
‘Cause it ain’t going anywhere

Nights are long and that’s okay
A sacred trust got blown away
Seems when the beauty’s black
Knock’s you down
But, fills you back

This can’t go on forever, my friend
Won’t you dream with me awhile
Can’t take this thing they call your heart and soul
‘Cause it ain’t going anywhere

You got to go there, to know there
And sometimes you go too far
This nightmare is believing
I’m back, but not what you are

This can’t go on forever, my friend
Won’t you dream with me awhile
Can’t take this thing they call your heart and soul
Cause it ain’t going anywhere

Wish that you had told me
But, I should have known
Just the kind of girl you are
I’d be sorry someday

You were such a sweet thing
That was my demise
You set that trap, with what I like
Know I’d come inside

You took me to this darkness
Put me in this pain
Even though I survived
You laid my soul to waste
The things that go on in my head
The things that go wrong in my head

You don’t know ‘till your in it
Stuck there like a fool
Trouble soon be over, for me
But, will my sorrow end

Now I must carry
Carry the heavy load
Wondering and worrying where you are
Where you going to go

Oh, oh it’s a burnin’ hell
Oh, oh it’s a burnin’ hell

Trying to find a midnight sign
Looking for a moonlight smile
I’m passing all my mysteries
Just one more night of certainty

I can’t go on, walking down this road with you
I can’t go on doing all the things we use to do, no

Please try and understand
Don’t look at this as a romantic plan
But, how can you live where confusion reigns
And to follow your heart
You got to be afraid 

I can’t go on, walking down this road with you
I can’t go on doing all the things we use to do, no

Oh, baby now here’s the news
You say I got to choose
I don’t play that way
I’m getting blown away

I can’t go on, walking down this road with you
I can’t go on doing all the things we use to do, no

Looking for you high and low
Always find you where the whiskey flows
Pale dawn and the sun coming up
Finding truth in my favorite cup

I burn my fingertips
Just, watching her shake those hips
Oh, yeah

People talking all over town
They don’t know what you taken’ down
Wake me up
Like every good man needs

You do the things all those good girls know

I burn my fingertips
Just, watching her shake those hips
Oh, yeah

I burn my fingertips
Just, watching her shake those hips
Oh, yeah

Take a trip with me
Down a lonesome road
Got a reason to believe
It’s gonna’ devastate my soul

Will you take that journey
Will you step inside
It’s a mad, mad tale
To the other side

You don’t push no river
You don’t pull no train
Know it don’t come easy
You got to feel the pain
You got to feel the pain

And you’re never gonna’ walk this way again
And the Gods seldom smile on you
My friend

You don’t do it for the money
You don’t do it for love
You don’t do it for nothing
You don’t do it for fame
You don’t do it for fame

And you’re never gonna’ walk this way again
And the Gods seldom smile on you
My friend

Why do you do It
Why do you do It
