Tekst :

You know a mile around the bend on the Ohio
Coming up the river for the Sunday show
There s a tuba and a banjo and a steam calliope
Way in the back there s a big paddle wheel

Chorus:
What a thrill it musta been, playing Dixie for the folks
Up and down the river on the first showboat
What a thrill it musta been, playing Dixie for the folks
Up and down the river on the first showboat

Momma took the kids and papa took the lunch
The kids took the bells and the whiskey took the drunks
But the biggest thrill of all, you know it had to be
Was sitting up front playing steam calliope

Chorus

Well there s magic in the air, they re fiddlin the rhymes
It s slow and easy in the summertime
Yeah, but who d of ever thought, the day would come to be
Where there s oil on the waters where the rivers used to be

Chorus

Yeah a mile around the bend on the Ohio
Coming up the river for the Sunday show

Chorus x3

Tekst :

Hey let me tell you bout a girl I know
Billie Courntey, she s the belle of Bandera, Texas

Let me tell you bout a girl I know back there in my hometown
She s the kind I like to go dancing with when the sun goes down
One time she rode her horse into the cowboy bar
She mostly like to go camping underneath the stars
She s got a reputation as a girl who likes to go to far

Chorus;
She ain t a bad girl, she likes to do bad things
She ain t a wild child, she just takes wild flings
She really isn t nothing but her daddy s girl
Who grew up kind of horsy in a cowboy world
Just when you think you know her
She turns around and goes her own way

There s thing about the girl I like and things about her I don t lik
I know she got divorced and had to pack er up and move back home
I know she loves to cook and sew up her own things
And though she s separated, wears her wedding ring
There s time she stays out all night, but mostly she goes home alone

Chorus

She got a hickey on her neck, but what the heck she s flesh and blood
Now telling me she s sexy just like telling Noah about the flood
I know her voice is husky on the telephone
I know she loves to drive fast and sing Elvis songs
She says sleazy don t mean easy, buddy back off when you re coming on


Chorus

Just when you think you know her, she turns around and goes her own way
Just when you think you know her, she turns around and goes her own way

Tekst :

We ve been here a week or so,
Now it s finally time to go.
Can t believe how quickly time has flown,

Packin up the bathin suits,
Getting out the cowboy boots,
That?s a sign we must be going home....

Time just stopped for a little while,
We were part of a tiny island.
Made a lot of friends we ll keep for life.
When we get back home to Texas,
And they ask us what we missed most,
I ll shrug my shoulders, and I ll smile....

Early mornings on the long boat dock,
Drinkin coffee as the sun comes up
Lazy days napping in the big deck chair.
Late night dancing in the front street bar,
Walking home underneath the stars,
Man it s like some dream we live down here....

Last night we ate conch and lobster.
Mark said it was his favorite dinner,
Maybe even the best one of his life.
Dining underneath the stars
Chilean wine and Cuban cigars,
I smiled at him and said you could be right....

And he got real quiet, and he said you know,
hell I worked hard all my life,
I made a lot of dough.
I ve been everywhere,
I don t think it gets any better than down here.
I mean the warmth and love of the people here,
No crime, no hate, or fear
I don t think I m ready for the world waiting for me back there....

I need me just....

One more morning on the long boat dock,
Drinking coffee as the sun comes up,
Drinking bilikin beer in the big deck chair.
Late night dancin in a front street bar,
Makin love under the stars,
Man it s like some dream we live down here....

Walking home underneath the stars,
Hearing voices from that empty bar,
Man it s like some dream we live done there....

We ve been here a week or so,
Now it s finally time to go.
Can t believe how quickly time as flown.
Packin up the bathin suits,
gettin out the cowboy boots,
That?s a sign we must be goin home....

Now it seems to me
That you know just what to say
But words are only words
Can you show me something else

Can you swear to me
That you’ll always be this way
Show me how you feel
More than ever, baby...

You re eyes are screaming in the dark
and i have reason to worry
no we re not yet apart
something else has faded away
side by side

Is that all i ve got to lose
now i m getting higher
get...

What a world
What a place to be
See the People everywhere
The pain of nations -
I tell you
Mother earth needs the help
Of all the children of the world
A revolution

Here we go -
Hear me...

There s a funeral procession on the highway
Traffic screeches to a halt
There s people searching for a better way
To live their lives, oh
Johnny lived a good life, you ll hear them say
As tears of sadness soak the ground
The reaper crept in, took his breath away
In the middle of the night

We...

Minął dzień budzisz się
powtarzając schemat
który znasz

Może chcesz, może nie
stracić wszystko
to co jeszcze masz
pewnie wiesz jak to jest
z każdą chwilą jesteś coraz bardziej sam

ref.
Bezsenna noc nie uleczy
samotnych w sieci

Szukasz znów ważnych słów
w labiryncie pełnym pustych zdań
błądzisz tak aż po świt
nie wychodząc ze swych czterech szarych ścian

ref.
Bezsenna noc nie uleczy
samotnych...
