2017 Stolen Moments – Song Lyrics

1 — All I Want

Oh the race was over, before it just begun
And the price of your admission, baby now
Has got me on the run
Hold on now, can’t you see
Oh, little darling don’t you mess with me
Hold on now, can’t you see
Oh, little darling be the death of me

The sorrows and joys are with me where I’ve been
And, the memory I’ve been recalling now
Blowing hard like a cold, cold wind
Hold on now, can’t you see
Oh, little darling don’t you mess with me
Hold on now, can’t you see
Oh, little darling be the death of me

I just want to testify, I know that you do too
I said I just want to testify, all I want is the truth
All I want is the truth now, all I want is the truth
All I want is, all I want, all I want is the truth now
Oh, won’t you give me some truth now
Oh, little baby now give me some truth, c’mon get it on

These stolen moments, oh I treasure in my soul
And my past was a lonely note now
Saved by rock and roll
Hold on now, can’t you see
Oh, little darling don’t you mess with me
Hold on now, can’t you seeOh, little darling be the death of me

I just want to testify, I know that you do too
I said I just want to testify, all I want is the truth now
I said all I want is the truth yeah
Tell me now, tell me now
All I want is the truth, I said tell me now, tell me now
All I want is the truth

2 — Downtown Suzy

Downtown Suzy says she’s got the blues
Whole lot of nothing and nothing to do
Ooh that girl can switch and sway
Just nineteen, but she’s built this way, oh yeah, oh yeah

Ooh that girl put her life on the line
Fell so hard for the life of crime
Now she’s doing a ten and two
So downed out and nothing to do, oh yeah

She’s so lonely, but she can’t say
She’s so lonely now, she cries, cries, cries
Oh she cries, cries, cries
Oh, little Suzy, baby you’re so confusing
You can’t see that you’re losing your night from day
You’re losing your night from day, losing your night from day
Oh yeah

She’s back in town turned thirty-one
Love so deep like a loaded gun
She can’t quit what she can’t use
Lies so deep like a burned out fuse
Oh yeah

There ain’t no distance, or great divide
That makes this girl come alive, alive, alive
Come alive, alive, alive
Oh, little Suzy, baby you’re so confusing
You can’t see that you’re losing your night from day
You’re losing your night from day, you’re losing your night from day
You’re losing your night from day
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

3 — One In Five

Oh this town put a spell on me, and I was sinking fast
And all the time I wasted on these theories of romance
Oh, these hard times are with me now today
And I won’t walk away my friend to the song of yesterday, yeah

Oh we live just like we dream, baby that’s alone
I stay loyal to my nightmare honey, my redemptions been postponed
Oh these hard times are with me now today
And I won’t walk away my friend to the song of yesterday
Show me how, and tell me how, and I won’t walk away, yeah, yeah

Oh my soul knows no restraint and I’m not one in five
And though this knowledge may come too late my solicitude survives
Oh, these hard times are with me now today
And I won’t walk away my friend to the song of yesterday
Show me how, and tell me how, and I won’t walk away, yeah, yeah
I want to go where we dance all night and day, dance little sister
I want to go where we dance all night and day, dance little sister dance

4 — Modern Lie

5 — Other One

I can’t be who I was, I can only be who I am
So many have fallen before me living hard in the end
You can’t be who you were, you can only be who you are
It won’t be long you’ll be taking a ride in a long black shiny car
The other one, it’s always the other one
The other one, it’s always the other one, it’s always

Walk with me now through the city of nights
Tell me do you want to go
Tell me the things that you wanted to see
But tell me do you want to know
Abandon all your fears of danger, oh we gonna break those chains
Weighed down in all your anguish, oh the new freedom reigns
The other one, always the other one
The other one, always the other one
It’s been a long, long time, I see the hunger in your eyes
It’s been a long. long time, and still you hide
And you want to deny, you want to deny
The other one, always the other one
The other one, it’s always the other one
Oh the other one, it’s always the other one, it’s always
You want to deny
You want to deny
You want to deny
It’s always

6 — Higher

Running down the dream in some crazy mixed up scheme
It burned me like a childhood flame
And, this bourbon in the glass, you know, it ain’t meant to last
The sun is drifting down and moonlight swims
Come on now, take me higher and higher
Just lifting me up feeding my desires
Standing on this convict line asking them what was my crime
Murder in my heart for the judge
It was nineteen hundred seventy I blessed my soul
And then to see, I was just like water through your hands
Come on now, take me higher and higher
Just lifting me up feeding my desires
Gimme, gimme, gimme one more kiss
When I’m in your arms you know I can’t resist
One more night, one more night, baby with you
I can see our destiny just come on through
Here we go, now

I’m just chalking time in some lousy five and dime
I know I will never be the same
These pieces of my heart, they get ripped and torn apart
I could never come back all the way
Come on now take me higher and higher
Oh just lift me up feeding my desires
Oh, take me higher, oh just lift me up feeding my desire
Oh, take me higher, oh just lift me up feeding my desire
Come on lift me up, just get me higher
Lift me up, oh will you get me high, oh yeah

7 — Time Stays

Oh no, well I must be dreaming
Wake me up baby, oh, but don’t bring me down
Open my eyes to a straight line way
Take me back to the moonlight bay
Time will be the reason, and time will help believing
Oh, but this deals going down
It’s going down now
Shake it up baby, oh twist and shout
These hours are moving fast, and I’m a prisoner of love
Time will be the reason, time will help believing
Oh, but this deals going down
It’s going down now
Don’t bring me down
Oh, baby don’t bring me down

Time will stay, but baby we go
The clock is moving faster, than baby we know
I went to the future and now I’m here
It’s later than you think or fear
Time will be the reason, time will help believing
Oh, but this deals going down
It’s going down now
Baby, it’s going down
Shake it up baby don’t cha know
Shake it up baby won’t you lose control
Shake it up baby now don’t cha know
Shake it up baby won’t you lose control
I said shake it up baby now don’t cha know
Shake it up baby won’t you lose control

8 — Call My Name

Wait a minute this ain’t over yet
I see your lips move with some regret
You haven’t heard a word I said
The voice screams inside my head
Telling me, oh brother, brother beware
Brother beware, oh, that you just don’t care

You came to me for something that I just can’t give
And, don’t reject me for the things that you think I did
When I’m looking deep inside, in the corners of my mind
There’s a distance I can’t find anymore
I can’t find anymore, oh, like before
Call my name, I hear you calling my name
Call my name, I hear you calling my name
Oh call my name, I hear you calling my name
Oh call my name, I think I hear it now
I think I hear it now

Below the surface we all can be deceived
A moral bond or something that you just believe
Oh something I was told, walking on down the road
In the end it’s a mirror, mirror you find
Oh a mirror you find, oh so unkind
Call my name, I hear you calling my name
Call my name, I hear you calling my name
Oh call my name, I hear you calling my name
Oh call my name, I think I hear it now
I think I hear it now, just calling my name

9 — Chopping Wood

Oh, this town is gonna be better, just you wait and see now
This town is gonna be better, have mercy on me yeah
Have some mercy on me
Now this town it’s got religion, just wait and see yeah
This town it’s got religion, have some mercy on me yeah
Have mercy on me yeah
I just keep on chopping, I just keep on chopping
I just keep on chopping this wood, oh yeah
Maybe, maybe, maybe my time is gonna come now

Now we’ve got that mojo rising, just you wait and see yeah
Now we’ve got that mojo rising, have mercy on me yeah
Have some mercy on me
Now we’ve got that whiskey flowing, just you wait and see yeah
Now we’ve got that whiskey flowing, have mercy on me yeah
Have some mercy on me yeah, have mercy on me yeah
Oh yeah

I just keep on chopping
I just keep on chopping
I just keep on chopping this wood

10 — Danger Awaits

What goes on in Jack’s house, oh I don’t want to know
Too many nights are missing now, too many people don’t know
If you go with him, you ain’t coming back, hey
When the car comes screaming, down the road tonight
He’s got his redhead girlfriend, aah, they say now
Aah they say she’s alright, aah they say she’s alright
Killer’s on the road tonight, he’s on the road tonight
Oh, when you say, this is not my
Oh, when you say, this is not my fear
Shaking it down

And the light was shifting, down the river tonight
And the moon was so quiet now, not a person in sight
If you go with him, you ain’t coming back
If you go with him, you ain’t coming back
Killer’s on the road tonight, he’s on the road
Killer’s on the road tonight, he’s on the road tonight
Oh when you say, this is not my
Oh when you say, this is not my fear
This danger awaits me
I hear the rumble now
