1 — Unforgiven Man

Back it up, roll it over
Makes no difference to me
Hiding bones, settin’ fires
Live in your misery
Well, it ain’t no worry for me
Long as your leaving me alone

They say I’m an angry man
Well, yes I guess it’s so
And, if you be hanging here
There’s a few things you ought to know
Don’t put no spell on me
Don’t be pulling my chain
Police be knocking your door
Don’t be using my name

An unforgiven man, got nothing to lose
He’s living deep inside, of these naked eyes
An Unforgiven man, got nothing to hide
Living deep inside, come on take a ride
Come on

Don’t say I’m a wicked man
Because this I will deny
And, this sense of being alone
That’s how I survive
Redemption now has been a long time gone
Well, this brother here, he still knows right from wrong

An unforgiven man, got nothing to lose
He’s living deep inside of these naked eyes
An unforgiven man, got nothing to hide
Living deep inside, come on take a ride
Come On
Come On

He don’t get lonely now, here’s what you’re missing
He don’t get lonely now, here’s what you’re missing
Come on and let him show ya
Come on and let him show ya
Come on and let him show ya

2 — One More Heartache

One more heartache
But I can’t stand it now
One more let down
You could die
But, the strengths in your conviction
You could be laughing, or you could be crying
This is an Eastside situation
I don’t want Westside on my mind
I don’t want your money, or your persuasion
I don’t want your dream
I don’t want your lie

Oh, I heard about your future
But, I ain’t seen it
And I get troubled by the ones that I hear
Is trying to steal it
Oh, don’t let go

Well, the story it gets so broken
By the things that we get told
And the truth will sometimes suffer
When you’re walking on down this road
Oh, when you’re walking on down this road
Oh, when you’re walking on down this road
Well, there’s something you ought to know
You better be doing, just what you’re told

3 — Remember

Coming down for the first time
But, you know it won’t be your last
If you should fall in this surrender for too long
Don’t go living in your past

Oh, I’ll be holding on to things we said today
Oh, I’ll be keeping strong things we said today
Remember, change is gonna come
Remember, change is gonna come

Oh no, I’m not running scared
And, I’m not the only one, believe me
Yeah, I took your medicine, for so long
But, now I’m on the run

Oh, I’ll be holding on to things we said today
Oh, I’ll be keeping strong things we said today
Talking about right now
Living in the moment

Talking about right now
Living this time
Talking about right now
Remember, change is gonna come
Remember, change is gonna come

All this pain is your belief
For all the things we’ve done, no, no
When all the fire within you dies
That’s the time for digging deeper and deeper inside

Remember, change is gonna come
Remember, change is gonna come

4 — Idiot Flats

I’m confessing now, whoa darling can’t you see
Don’t want me anything they’re saying I might need
Oh I may be wrong now, but won’t be wrong always
Some people got a real need
For telling you brother just how to please them

And I don’t belong in here
Just give me the time and I’ll disappear
Now, don’t you get lonely

The man came to me now, and he always spoke his mind
He said, son you better listen, this world gets to unkind
If you don’t play
Ahh, if you don’t do
If you don’t think now brother like they want you to
Ahh here it comes

And I don’t belong in here
Just give me the time and l will disappear

Oh, they ain’t got nothing on me
And they just can’t see what’s coming up ahead
Don’t it get lonely in your head

Hey now I’m giving you a reason to believe
Sometimes it’s what you got and that’s what you need
This is my story, oh yeah
I don’t belong in here
Just give me the time and I will disappear
Don’t you get lonely
Oh, don’t you get blue

I’ll be leaving these Idiot Flats in my mirror
I’ll be leaving these Idiot Flats today
Come on sugar, come on and dream with me
Come on sugar, come on and live with me

5 — Hard To Tell

Come on come on
Keep ringing the bell
Give way to Mr. Petey
I hope he’s swell
And, if you see him, what would he say
He’d probably stand up and walk away

But I know what he means now
He say’s it so well
It ain’t hard to tell

It’s a long time since yesterday
And the choices that were made
Like some late night, oh indecision
That you keep asking what were the reasons

Know what you mean now
You say it so well
It ain’t hard to tell

Ain’t looking for no miracle
Just trying to find conviction
I’m not looking for no yesterday
I won’t go back, I won’t go back
That way again

Will you hear me, oh what I’m saying
I’m picking up pieces, just where they’re laying
I thought I saw you on down the road
You said come on up, boy come on up

I know what you mean now
You say it so well
It ain’t hard to tell

Ain’t looking for no miracle
Just trying to find conviction
I’m not looking for no yesterday
I won’t go back, no I won’t go back
That way again
I won’t go back, no I won’t go back
That way again

It ain’t hard to tell, well it ain’t hard to tell
How this ends
No it ain’t hard to tell, it ain’t hard to tell
How this ends

6 — Around The Bend

What are you waiting for
Well I just don’t know
Because it all left town, like a late night show
It ain’t coming back
Now whatcha’ gonna do
Well it ain’t up to nobody but you

Now this change is my only constant now
Oh it sits there, it sits there like a friend
You keep on asking me, about the good old days
Well, I’m sorry now they’ve come to an end

Like Willie Loman, you keep on looking back
Well don’t you worry about what’s going on
Just load that stack
You call it what you want to
Well, it don’t need no name
We’re going around the bend
We’re going around the bend
C’mon Junior

I heard the funeral march, it was a sad, sad song
Oh yeah I heard those refugees clatter
Searching for lots of things, that been a longtime gone
And I’m thinking now they no longer matter

You call it what you want to,  well it don’t need no name
We’re going around the bend
We’re going around the bend
What are you waiting for
Well I just don’t know

7 — Nameless Things

Don’t give me that who dat
Who dat all the time
Don’t give me that who dat
Who dat on your line

Don’t go wasting time living all in these blues
You could be happy knowing you’re born to lose
Searching for something
Something that’s got no name

Don’t give me that who dat
Who dat all the time
Don’t you give me that who dat
Who dat on your line

Calling out to me saying information please
Broken down and busted in some downtown history
I been searching for things, things that got no name
All this trouble keeps following me
Your law and order is going to be the death of me

Don’t give me that who dat
Who dat all the time
Don’t give me that who dat
Who dat on your line

Holding out for something, man I hope it’s strong
Taking me away, maybe satisfying my soul
Well I keep searching for something
Something that’s got no name
Well I keep searching for something
Something that’s got no name
Well I keep searching for something and baby I can’t explain

8 — Got To Go

Don’t you feel it coming
Would you heed the call
The bell is ringing
When the music stalled
And I’m praying on forgiveness
Paying off the sins of me

Couldn’t go any further
Oh, down your road
My skin was crawling
Squirming like a toad
And I’m praying on forgiveness
Paying off the sins of me

But sooner or later
Somebody’s got to go
Somebody’s got to go
Somebody’s got to go

Now you heard the story
A little tale to tell
Solitary man, on his way to hell
His mind was twisted in a thousand ways
Now his soul is burning, his eternal grave
And I’m praying on forgiveness
Paying off the sins of me
Won’t you hear my plea now

Cause sooner or later
Somebody’s got to go
Somebody’s got to go
Somebody’s got to go
Won’t be long now
It won’t be long
It won’t be long now
Hear my plea
Won’t you hear my plea

9 — Getting Low

Today I’m losing everything I thought I had
It all just goes away and turns from good to bad
What’cha gonna do when it all comes down to you
Yeah nothings promised
Yeah you get what you deserve

But I ain’t getting low, oh, no
But I ain’t getting low

Take it or leave it were the words I often heard
Boy why you so distressed and so disturbed
Cause in a minute you loose everything
That you’ve been loving man, and all that makes you sing

But I’m not getting low, oh no
But I’m not getting low

And I ain’t wasting time, just waiting on you
I’m getting busy oh just seeing this through
I’m gonna shake and shimmy gonna rock your mind
Yeah come on scratch my back, yeah we got the time

Cause I ain’t getting low
Cause I ain’t getting low
Cause I ain’t getting low, oh no
Cause I ain’t getting low

Won’t you hear me, won’t you hear me now
I ain’t getting low, oh no
I ain’t getting low
Won’t you hear me, oh won’t you hear me

10 — Dangerous Dance

Heading out going way across town
Not gonna let this box of fear drag me down
Looking for me, oh I’ve been looking for you
Right here inside got my eyes on you
Come on darling

Waking up with the same thing on my mind
Finding out you’re my favorite waste of time
Looking for me, oh I’ve been looking for you
Right here inside got my eyes on you
Come on children

All I know you got a dangerous dance on your mind
Oh, I’m ready now, for laying it on the line
If I been lying baby, you know I’m dying
Come on darling

Sometimes you seem like the best for me
Other times it’s a negative history
Looking for me, oh I’ve been looking for you

Right here inside got my eyes on you
I’ll be right here inside, got my eyes on you
Right here inside, got my eyes on you
Come on sugar

All I know you got a dangerous dance on your mind
I’m ready now, for laying it on the line
Yes, I’m ready now, for laying it on the line
Come on get down with it
