Refugee (Damn the Torpedoes, 1979)

We got somethin', we both know it, we don't talk too much about it
Ain't no real big secret, all the same, somehow we get around it
Listen, it don't really matter to me baby
You believe what you want to believe, you see

You don't have to live like a refugee
(Don't have to live like a refugee)

Somewhere, somehow, somebody must have kicked you around some
Tell me why you want to lay there, revel in your abandon
Horny, it don't make no difference to me baby
Everybody has to fight to be free, you see

You don't have to live like a refugee
(Don't have to live like a refugee)
No baby you don't have to live like a refugee
(Dont have to live like a refugee)

Baby we ain't the first
I'm sure a lot of other lovers been burned
Right now it seems real to you, but it's
One of those things you gotta feel to be true

Somewhere, somehow, somebody must have kicked you around some
Who knows maybe you were kidnapped tied up,
Taken away and held for ransom
Horny, it don't make no difference to me baby
Baby, everybody has to fight to be free, you see

 

Here Comes My Girl (Damn the Torpedoes, 1979)

You know, sometimes, I don't know why,
But this old town just seems so hopeless
I ain't really sure, but it seems I remember the good times
Were just a little bit more in focus

But when she puts her arms around me,
I can, somehow, rise above it
Yeah man, when I got that little girl standing right by my side,
You know, I can tell the whole wide world, and shout it,

Hey, here comes my girl, here comes my girl,
Yeah, she looks so right, she's all I need tonight

Every now and then, I get down to the end of a day,
I'll have to stop, ask myself, "What've I done?"
It just seems so useless to have to work so hard,
And nothin' ever really seem to come from it

And then she looks me in the eye, says, "We gonna last forever,"
And man, you know I can't begin to doubt it
No, because this feels so good and so free and so right,
I know we ain't never goin' change our minds about it

Yeah, everytime it seems like there ain't nothin' left no more,
I find myself havin' to reach out and grab hold of somethin'
Yeah, I just catch myself wanderin', waitin', worryin'
About some silly little things that don't add up to nothin'

And then she looks me in the eye, says, "We gonna last forever,"
And man, you know I can't begin to doubt it
No, because this feels so good and so free and so right,
I know we ain't never goin' change our minds about it

 

The Waiting (Hard Promises, 1981)

Oh baby don't it feel like heaven right now
Don't it feel like something from a dream
Yeah I've never known nothing quite like this
Don't it feel like tonight might never be again
We know better than to try and pretend
Baby no one could'a ever told me 'bout this
I said yeah yeah

The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you see one more card
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part

Well yeah i might have chased a couple women around
All it ever got me was down
Then there were those that made me feel good
But never as good as I'm feeling right now
Baby you're the only one that's ever known how
To make me wanna live like I wanna live now
I said yeah yeah

The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you get one more yard
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part

Oh don't let it kill you baby, don't let it get to you
Don't let it kill you baby, don't let it get to you
I'll be your bleedin' heart, I'll be your cryin' fool
Don't let this go too far
Don't let it get to you

 

Nightwatchman (Hard Promises, 1981)

I'm the nightwatchman
I make the rounds
I'm the nightwatchman
I gotta keep my nose to the ground

Honey this ain't no job for a man like me
I got potential, I could be just what you need
You got to think about the pros and cons
You could be right, you could be wrong

I'm the nightwatchman
I am security
I'm the nightwatchman
How safe do you wanna be?

I sit around at night and listen to the radio
If I get real bored I might have a little smoke
Yeah I got a permit to wear this .38
But listen my life's worth more than the minimum wage

 

Letting You Go (Hard Promises, 1981)

I used to think that when this was all over
You might feel different 'bout me
Yeah I always knew, one day you'd come around
Now I wonder if dreams are just dreams

Whoah oh whoah oh oh I'm having trouble
Letting you go

Baby look out your window, it's raining
on your summer home
You're by the fire keeping warm and dry
There's no one as honest as those in pain
Oh honey can't you see me? Will you
let me inside?

It's a restless world, uncertain times
You said hope was getting hard to find
But time rolls on, days go by
What about the broken ones?
What about the lonely ones?
Oh honey I'm having trouble letting you go
It's off in the distance, somewhere up the road
There's some easy answer for the tears you've cried
And it makes me uneasy, makes me feel different
Do you get scared when you close your eyes?

 

Gator on the Lawn (A Woman in Love (It’s Not Me) (single), 1981)

Well I run through the kitchen looked in the paper
Said, Oh God Almighty, mama, there's such a gator,
Come on, come on
Every other day I got a gator on my lawn
Well you dropped your groceries in the kitchen sink
Went to work and made the bathroom stink, come on, come on
Every other day I got a gator on my lawn

Get with it Mike!

Well I jumped out of bed run across the street
Asked my neighbor said,
Where's my meat?
I had a red raw steak can't find it anywhere
He looked at me and said,
What the hell do I care? come on
Every other day I got a gator on my lawn

Yeah I run in the kitchen looked in the paper
Said, Oh God Almighty, mama, there's such a gator,
Come on, come on
Every other day I got a gator on my lawn
Well every other day I got a gator on my lawn

 

Change of Heart (Long After Dark, 1982)

Well, I fought for you, I fought too hard
To do it all again, babe, it's gone too far
You never needed me, you only wanted me around
It gets me down

There's been a change
Yeah, there's been a change of heart
Said, there's a change
You push just a little too far
Made it just a little too hard
There's been a change of heart

I'll get over you, it won't take long
I've stood in your gallery seen what's hangin' from the wall
You were the moon and sun, you're just a loaded gun now
It gets me down

There's been a change
Yeah, there's been a change of heart
Said, there's been a change
You push just a little too far
Made it just a little to hard
There's been a change of heart

Whoa, yeah, oh boy
Looks like we finally reached the turning point
Oh, me, oh my
Looks like it's time for me to kiss it goodbye
Yeah, kiss it goodbye

There's been a change
Yeah, there's been a change of heart
Said, there's been a change
You push just a little too far
Made it just a little to hard
There's been a change of heart, oh

 

We Stand a Chance (Long After Dark, 1982)

Well I fought for you
I fought too hard
To do it all again babe
It's gone too far

You never needed me
You only wanted me around
It gets me down

There's been a change,
Yeah there's been a change of heart
Said there's been a change
You push just a little too far
You make it just a little to hard
There's been a change of heart

I'll get over you
It won't take long
I've stood in yer gallery
Seen what's hangin' from the wall

You were the moon and sun,
Yer just a loaded gun now
It gets me down

Whoa yeah, oh boy
Looks like we finally found the turning point
Oh me, oh my
Looks like it's time for me to kiss it goodbye
Yeah kiss it goodbye

 

Between Two Worlds (Long After Dark, 1982)

I got a dirty, dirty feelin'
That I just can't shake
Yeah my brain keeps burin'
And my body just aches

I know a women's body is only flesh and bone
How come I can't let go?
I'm between two worlds
I said oh yeah, I'm out of my mind
I'm between two worlds

There's lot of talk about the danger zone
There's adventure novels 'bout takin' to the road

I know a women's body is only flesh and bone
How come I can't let go
I'm between two worlds

 

A Wasted Life (Long After Dark, 1982)

I know you're walkin' down a lonely street
I know you can't get out of the heat
Baby it's alright
Don't have a wasted life

I know you have to feel a little used up
And no one can give you enough
Baby hold on tight

Don't have a wasted life
I love you too much
Don't have a wasted life
I love you too much

They give it to you from the time you're born
You keep tryin' to make one more score
Baby it's alright
You gotta stand and fight
So when you're lonely and you feel let down
You can call me I'll come around
And treat you nice
Don't have a wasted life
I love you too much - uh, uh, uh, don't have a wasted life

 

Up in Mississippi Tonight (Playback, 1995)

Sally's up in Mississippi tonight
With a man she hardly knows
Sally's wearin' brand new clothes

Opportunity don't knock twice
So Sally said, "Bye, bye"
I hope she is alright
Up in Mississippi tonight

Sally left before the sun could rise
When the city man came to town
She turned his head around
It was love with just one look

When she saw
The size of his pocketbook
Oh, Sally's doin' fine
She's up in Mississippi tonight

But there's a mountain boy who's gonna remember you
And Sally you're one old girl he hates to lose
But you did what you had to do
You know I'm happy for you
But sometimes please think of me up there in Biloxi

Sally's up
In Mississippi tonight
Stayin' in a big hotel
Rich man payin' the bill

Drivin' a brand new car
Drinkin' in fancy bars
Oh, Sally's havin' a time
She's up in Mississippi tonight

Sally's up in Mississippi tonight
Sally's up in Mississippi tonight
