Did you guess which thing was not like the others?
Did you guess which thing just doesn't belong?
If you guessed this one is not like the others,
Then you're absolutely...right!"
Touching. Insightful without being pretentious or overly complicated.

Its odd that he rarely has bridges in his songs.
My pick to click for friday

EVERYBODY'S SPENDING THIS TIME
JUST BUILDING AND MAKING
SOMEDAY SOMEONE WILL SAY "FOR WHAT ?"

NINE TO FIVE IN A BLIND ALLEY
EQUALS THREE SHEETS TO THE WIND
CAN'T REMEMBER WHEN THIS STARTED
DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT IT ENDS

THERE IS NEVER A DULL DAY
WHEN YOU'RE BEATEN BY NONFICTION
IF GOD STILL READS THE HEADLINES
FRONT PAGE HOPE IS MISSING

WORKING AWAY ON A REBUILT FREEWAY
STRAIGHTAWAY FROM THE SLASH AND BURN
CITIES
HINDSIGHT IS THERE
ON A ROAD SIGN POINTED NOWHERE

NO ONE GETS OFF HERE
NO WAY TO SLOW DOWN
THERE'S PIECE OF MIND SOMEWHERE WHENEVER SOMEONE EVER THINKS ABOUT IT

WE'RE ALL LISTENING FOR EVERY DROP OF SWEAT THAT IT TAKES TO SPEAK OUT AND WONDER

KNOWING HOW OR WHEN TO DUCK NEXT JUST SITTING HERE PUNCHDRUNK ALL THE WISER

from Memphis to New Orleans
in and out of railroad dreams
you're out there
in scenes
passing by

the guy is flat-out one of the greatest songwriters ever

Does anyone know if the "grifter with a funny little hat" line refers to a specific person? And if so, who might that be?

On Barstow, it's a "new hemi filter in place."

Personally, I like "you're really not mad at anyone, you're just mad at the world. Take it apart and take it down, just mad at the world..."

Since not everyone's heard Cocaine and Ashes, played on the recent 7 show,9 day run with just Jay and Mark, here's a taste

I've had strichnine
Thought I was dead
Snorted my father and I'm still alive

I did it because that's how it is done
I'm the same as everyone
just kinda lucky

Body and Soul
Cocaine and Ashes
Get to that place in time
tears and blow are on my mind

Its no way to live
I've tried everything once
I have no pretensions of immortality
I've been told I've six months to live
But I've outlasted them all...

"Free loose dirt, free the minds of those who gainsay."

And yes, yes, yes, yes, you all are so right about

"Man in a tie will bum your dime before he'll break his 20 dollar bill."

And of course I like my signature, which is from a song that I didn't understand that much of before the lyrics were posted on this site.

So thanks for posting them!
