TOP Voodoo Doll baby you sure made a fool out of me I’m gonna make a voodoo doll so you can feel my misery manufactured out of corn shucks yet more compassioniate than you my fractured heart she's gonna fix up when she puts the foot in the other shoe it will only take a minute 'cause I'm a motivated cat and I won't need to stick things in it some other dude is doing that your cheating ears will burn like fire when I hold you upside down you'll start to shiver and perspire thinking how you fooled around baby you sure made a fool out of me I’m gonna make a voodoo doll so you can feel my misery solo in the morning you'll feel funny your face all red and looking weird that’s how I'll wake your doll up, honey scratching with my beard collection agents by the billion you'll be reaching for the phone but I'll have someone to tell you your sweet sugar daddy is gone baby you sure made a fool out of me I’m gonna make a voodoo doll so you can share my misery I’m gonna make a voodoo doll and you'll come crawlin back to me TOP Gravy Train I work hard every day in a taco stand this job is not what I had planned but when I get off and meet my baby I can't remember how to complain When I finally meet my baby Feels like I'm on the gravy train my pay is low but I don't even care my girl makes me feel like a millionaire 'cause when I get off and meet my baby you know she treats me like a king yeah when I finally see my baby Feels like I'm on the gravy train harp and gtr solos you know I get so high just thinkin' of my woman can't even cry when I chop an onion and when she's makin’ love to me yeah she's like a drug to me When I finally meet my baby Feels like I'm on the gravy train I'm on the gravy train with biscuit wheels Man you don't know how good it feels and when she's makin love to me yeah she's like a drug to me with my sweet lovin' baby Feels like I'm on the gravy train TOP Sunday Moon I am the Sunday moon in earth's eclipse Looking down upon this week's apocalypse Nothing I can do I'm just the Sunday moon The only thing of Earth that I can see a ring of blazing light within stars in black around me Such a lovely view from up here on the moon solo One side is every sunrise one side is each sunset seen by every one upon the earth one side is all-wise one believes that it knows best as they come and go from another day of church Nothing I can do I'm just the Sunday moon TOP American Heart Papa sent money back, then he told me to wait when they killed him I crossed over cartel couldn't catch me, 'cause I ran too fast an American dream was all I had With my last few dollars I had papers forged Signed on when the war was getting shorter They still had one more IED for me American doctors cut me off at the knees In dreams I can run like any man here In dreams I fly like an eagle I hear firing guns, but all that I fear Just lives in the mind of some people a wounded vet, I finished law school someday to help the poor farmer the state bar found out that my papers were fake American people want me out of this place In dreams I can run like any man here In dreams I fly like an eagle I hear firing guns, but all that I fear Just lives in the mind of some people Waiting to process back out of the states I can only think of creeping over I may be forsaken and dispossessed But an American heart still beats in my chest In dreams I can run like any man here In dreams I fly like an eagle I hear firing guns, but all that I fear Just lives in the mind of some people TOP Reward: Lost Heart reward: lost heart, call day or night last time I saw my heart was the day that I met you I didn't think he'd run off 'cause it's me he was attached to I'm thinking that you stole him although I can't be sure my neighbor said they might have seen him hop into your car reward, lost heart, call day or night he doesn't have a name but he'll answer to "hey, sucker" he's not a bitin' fighter, he's a sittin' stayin' lover kinda shy at first but friendly once he gets to know ya when left at home alone he's inclined to melancholia reward, lost heart, call day or night he can be identified by his soft white underbelly and his dark side so if you notice him please tell me he's got a face only a mother could love he only barks to make you think he's tough solo until you return my heart he's your responsibility I worry for the troubles he'll get into without me when I get him back he won't be running loose again he'll only get to see the daylight every now and then reward, lost heart, call day or night TOP It Was Not Your Job It was not your job to run my life not my job to run yours my one job was to love you right no matter if we're rich or poor I did the dishes I paid the rent I took you fishin' and to the monster truck event well you went for me 'cause I was down to earth an easy-goin' fun-lovin' guy but what you need is a chump with high net worth in a monkey suit and a tie you're high-falutin' nose in the air I'm from Wisconsin you can smell that dairy air 'cause it was not my job to run your life not your job to run mine my one job was to love you right but you can hang up the help wanted sign yeah baby and you can't fire me, 'cause I resign TOP Turtles All The Way Down In the beginning there was this turtle He was the biggest he had found and the quakin' earth was given birth when the turtle moved around Now this here turtle he's on another turtle's back They're holding up the world in a great big stack now everybody would all fly off If the earth was really spinnin around if you say "what holds up the turtles?" I say man it's turtles, all the way down turtles theme if you don't believe about the turtles you can believe it's nothin' to me But your wicked soul would come up from its hole If you could bring yourself to see that all your science comes from corporation shills and when no lies remain only one truth will 'cause everybody would all fly off If the earth was really spinnin around when they say "what holds up the turtles?" just say man it's turtles, all the way down all the way down turtles all the way down goin' all the way down keep goin' down all the way down uh wooh They don't need nothing to stand on They just go on and on TOP Life Was A Dream My life was a dream with you smiled down upon by the muse each song became a symphony truth appeared on every line now the night owls hum a tune for me remind me you're no longer mine still you return in my dreams as tulips will bloom every spring and in these dreams you fly with me drifting on a quilt of stars deep and fascinating mysteries secret chord on a guitar interlude when I awaken and I remember you wandered away I get up and get dressed and get on with my day but nights when sleep won't come and I can no longer cry like a mother who has lost her child I softly sing a leftover lullaby life was a dream with you TOP Lizards We drove out to the desert I was fighting crazy Ruben for the wheel now he hands me another beer Me and Ruben Siempre hermanos but it's not so simple not like it appears He tries to catch a lizard but only gets the broke off squirming tail he says "you see that sucker run?" I say "why you gotta do that? - That's messed up." He says "it's ok hermano, He'll just grow another one." but I say "Ruben, that's just messed up man. Some thing grows back but it won't be the same Why can't you let it be?" His girl was named Leticia she turned him out the gang he was caught up in then she caught the wrong bullet she left him a little son the boy's with Letty's mama now Ruben wonders if he was her only one now he's gotta ask me and now he's gonna lose his only friend he says did you do it with her bro? I say "why you gotta ask that? - That's messed up." He says "it's ok hermano I just gotta know" but I say "Ruben, that's just messed up man. Some thing grows back but it won't be the same Why can't you let it be?" solo I still remember her warm and earthy softness on my skin warm milk and cinnamon He could pass for the father maybe best that he don't know 'cause if he ain't got me then he ain't got anyone so I tell Ruben I didn't do it with her something once living is snapping in the dirt Think I'll just let it be don't worry mano no me la cogí it's gonna be alright we're brothers forever gonna be alright gonna be alright brothers forever let it be alright TOP Shiny New Model shiny new model with a high price tag old guitar was a fossil. what a drag I got the shiny new model but I don't mean to brag and I traded up for my wife, the new one's just my type an ex-model brazilian, that's my one in a million once I had her I was had I tell you man this chick was bad You couldn't earn enough to buy all the stuff she would always demand cars, jewelry and land the kind of girl every boy should fear this was the only thing I'd hear I want the shiny new model, let's trade in the jag and to stay in style the Louis Vitton bag with the shiny new model I'll have room to brag she said it's no surprise our life has no passion you ain’t bought me a thing but dissatisfaction I should have been smart, but I trusted my heart at least I thought that's the part that she caught now I pay through the nose for a lawyer off I go like a lamb to the slaughter and of course it won't end; now I flirt with her friend I told her don't mention this.
