- Cool Drink of Water
Sittin' on a crack 800 hundred miles long
Waiting for her to give
And send us all just a tumbling down
This ain't no way to live
I said, this ain't no way to live
They say we all must be kinda crazy
Livin' here in Los Angeles
Where the ground she's a shakin'
- Dead Man's Shoes
I've got some dead man's shoes and I'm walkin' tall
Got my dead man's shoes, just walkin' tall for you
Darlin' just for you
Got on a repo suit and it's wearin' thin
Got my repo suit, just wearin' thin for you
Sweetheart, for you
Bring your cryin' rag, Darlin' keep it close
- Gotta Get Outta This Town
Well, I was born with wrinkles born, Darlin', upside down
Looked up at that Doctor and said, don't you shine me on
He said listen here, Son, I know how this might sound
Doctor slapped my ass and said, you gotta get outta this town
When I was old enough to forge my Daddy's name
I picked out the first used car, Baby, that I found
Didn't care about the rust, the paint or them worn out seats, no no no
- Henry Nearly Killed Me
Henry Nearly Killed Me (It's a Shame) words & music Ray LaMontagne
All my life I been poor boy's son - Scratchin' for my meat
I have been kicked in my teeth - Till the blood run hot and sweet
I seen a lot of living, my friend - And this I will repeat
Just because you knock a man down - Don't mean that you got him beat
It's a shame, shame, shame - Baby, it's a cryin' shame
Well, Henry nearly killed me - 'Fore they hauled his ass in jail
Slapped me right across my face - With a flour sack full o' nails
Nearly broke my head in two - With his steel-toed boots
Shovin' all that money - Down the laundry chute
It's a shame, shame,shame - Baby, it's a cryin' shame
Well, sweet little Mary Anne - With her make-up all a mess
Picks herself up off the floor - Coughs and straightens her dress
Sayin' please, please Daddy, - Can I have just a little bit more
He said sorry Baby, I'm headin' out - Somehow this town don't feel like home anymore
It's a shame,shame,shame - Lord, it's a cryin' shame
I've seen a lot of living my friend - And this i will repeat
Just because you knock a man down - Don't mean you got him beat
