who’s that calling me collect
didn’t get no message left
diggin’ mines all ‘cross the nation
don’t you give a reason for your excavation
what you care they’re listenin’ in
less you try to live in sin
a secret court will set the conditions
but that’s a secret and not your decision
but the phone ringin’ callin’ your name
it’s a wrong number they got you by mistake
oh lord
a phone ringin’
it’s callin’ your name
a phones ringin’
it’s callin’ your name
it’s callin’ your name
man said they’re diggin’ for gold
they’re siftin’ through the mother load
if you ain’t got nothin’
here you can spend
you know you’re free to go
till they check you again
speak the truth
they hunt you down
you’re on the run the news is out
who owns the rights to your information
if it ain’t you we ain’t free as a nation
but the phone ringin’ callin’ your name
it’s a wrong number they got you by mistake
oh lord phones ringin’ callin’ your name
it’s a wrong number they got you by mistake
oh lord
a phone ringin’
it’s callin’ your name
a phones ringin’
it’s callin’ your name
it’s callin’ your name
it’s callin’ your name
it’s callin’ your name
it’s callin’ your name
it’s callin’ your name

have you heard tastes have changed
talk is cheap but there’s a price somebody pays
loudest voice in the room will drown you out
even if you speak the truth
was a time not long ago
when the music changed the world we know
some would say that dream is gone
and the past well it’s time to move along
hey troubadour better watch your back
future look bright ahead cause it’s movin’ so fast
and the souls what you feed
some rather not give you what you need
hey troubadour you caught up with your past
better watch your back
over there ‘cross the room
someone dances to their favorite tune
and the sound it’s in the air
close your eyes you can see them they’re still there
some would say world is free
if everything was the way that it should be
but it’s not least not today
‘cause tastes have changed
that’s the price the future paid
hey troubadour better watch your back
future look bright ahead cause it’s movin’ so fast
and the soul what you feed
some rather not give you what you need
hey troubadour you caught up with your past
better watch your back
hey troubadour you caught up with your past
was a time not long ago
when the music changed the world we know
and some would say that dream is gone
and the past well it’s time to move along ‘cause
have you heard tastes have changed
talk is cheap but there’s a price somebody pays
loudest voice in the room will drown you out
even if you speak the truth
hey troubadour better watch your back
future look bright ahead ‘cause it’s movin’ so fast
and the soul what you feed
some rather not give you what you need
hey troubadour you caught up with your past
better watch your back

makin’ my way sometimes it stings
lord only knows what the future brings
i’m watchin’ the clock watchin’ my moves
i only got time for what i gotta do
things lookin’ bad should you get outta town
don’t wanna be here when the sun goes down
you wanna see the world gonna get your ticket
gonna start your trip right now this minute
‘cause you’re goin’ south tonight
you’re goin’ south tonight
whose got time for the party tricks
some like the attention on a power trip
but it’s just a dog and a pony show
and nobody cared much till the show come home
how’d all the money go up in smoke
some thought it was funny but it ain’t no joke
some at the top playin’ like a game
you think some place else you’ll find better days
‘cause you’re goin’ south tonight
you’re goin’ south tonight
you’re goin’ south tonight
how you gonna get your share
you look for your share but it isn’t there
‘cause they took you right before your eyes
they’re pickin’ your pocket while the faces smile
you think you’ll do better down the road
but who owns the road on which you go
you better stake your claim carve out your niche
if you don’t fight the power you’ll keep diggin’ a ditch
‘cause you’re goin’ south tonight
you’re goin’ south tonight
you’re goin’ south tonight

the horse is led to water
but he don’t want to drink
we saw it comin’
the ship begins to sink
but what do you do when the finger points at you
look around have ya lost your way
just you wait and see you’re livin’ in a dream
but you’re the one that dreamed it that way
fact turns into fiction
you go along for the ride
what’s your new prescription
i can see it in your eyes
but what can you do when the finger points at you
look around have you lost your way
just you wait and see you’re livin’ in a dream
but you’re the one that dreamed it that way
you lookin’ for answers or just want it your way
each time there’s a question there need not be debate
there need not be debate
but what can ya do when the finger points at you
look around have you lost your way
just you wait and see you’re livin’ in a dream
but you’re the one that dreamed it that way

The Bug Jar

i awoke one day to a terrible sound
it was the noise in my mind it was draggin’ me down
it said ya fill me up like storms rain on a boat
and may the lord have mercy that we both stay afloat
oh lord
it’s like a bug on a race to the bottom of a jar
you only move so quick you only get so far
it might be the day that we do ourselves in
or by an act of grace somebody take off the lid
now take it off
i was drivin’ down the street just the other day
was gettin’ nowhere fast everyone was blockin’ me
they said they have things to do
much more important than mine
and if they get them done quick
then they’ll have that much more time
my lord say a prayer for the people today
you know i fear for us all if we keep livin’ this way
they don’t make ‘em like they used to
nothin’s meant to last we don’t drive in the cars
less we’re gettin’ there fast
we don’t drive in the cars ‘less we’re gettin’ there fast
we don’t drive in the cars ‘less we’re gettin’ there fast
they don’t make ‘em like they used to
nothin’s meant to last we don’t drive in the cars
‘less we’re gettin’ there fast oh no
let’s drive

that when you spit fire you’re gonna get burned

stand up and take a bow you earned it
you’re in the spotlight now you deserve it
lord knows that nothin’ good come easy
sometimes it feels like nothin’ but bad
so please excuse me
‘cause i’ve seen the videos with stacks of money
the fast cars fancy clothes naked bodies
lifestyles for today’s rich and famous lord
they’re brazenly portrayed and contagious
‘cause we sure know how to put on a show
we sure know how to put on a show
with fast cars and fancy clothes
we sure know how to put on a show
let’s go let’s go
all them years in school what did they teach ya
life lessons shape your way that’s how to reach you
play it by the book is what they’re tellin’
and what books you buy that’s what they’re sellin’
but mama didn’t raise no fool you’re street savvy
politics and world news makes you unhappy
but when you’re on your way can’t be distracted lord
and that’s the price you pay and it’s expected
‘cause we sure know how to put on a show
we sure know how to put on a show
with fast cars and fancy clothes
we sure know how to put on a show
let’s go let’s go
go go go
stand up and take a bow you earned it
you’re in the spotlight now you deserve it
lord knows that nothin’ good come easy
sometimes it feels like nothin’ but bad
so please excuse me
now i’m in the videos with stacks of money
the fast cars fancy clothes and naked bodies
lifestyles for today’s rich and famous lord
they’re brazenly portrayed
‘cause we sure know how to put on a show
we sure know how to put on a show
with fast cars and fancy clothes
we sure know how to put on a show

on the road no time to waste
we can’t be sure of what we chase
it’s a prize and a burden
the easy life it ain’t for certain
soon you’re singin’ them graveyard blues
that’s how it goes you gotta pay your dues
soon you’re singin’ them graveyard blues man
that’s how it goes you gotta pay your dues you pay up
some they say no bad show
you take what you get or just go home
but times they change your reputation
once favored names go on vacation
and soon you’re singin’ them graveyard blues
that’s how it goes you gotta pay your dues
soon you’re singin’ them graveyard blues man
that’s how it goes you gotta pay your dues you pay up
soon you’re singin’ them graveyard blues
that’s how it goes you gotta pay your dues
soon you’re singin’ them graveyard blues man
that’s how it goes you gotta pay your dues
you pay up
you made your way through the night
these empty rooms they will decide
if we find luck or fortunes grace
or graveyard blues gets in your face
soon you’re singin’ them graveyard blues
that’s how it goes you gotta pay your dues
soon you’re singin’ them graveyard blues man
that’s how it goes you gotta pay your dues you pay up
soon you’re singin’ them graveyard blues
that’s how it goes you gotta pay your dues
soon you’re singin’ them graveyard blues man
that’s how it goes you gotta pay your dues
