Probably
drinkin' the probably best whiskey in the world
listenin' to the probably best music ever heard
livin' with the probably best family worldwide
and probably some weird gods on my side
in the probably warmest jersey a grandma has been knittin'
readin' the probably best poems ever written
in the probably best company 'cause I'm out here all alone
ignorin' the probably bad-news-bringin' ringin' of the phone
all I do is roll
and I really don't know whereto
I'm a rootless man and I must roll
'til I find my peace of mind
and a haven for my soul
from behind the probably homiest and safest door
far away from where Americans are probably at war
digestin' the probably best meal a man can earn
probably overanalyzin' all the lessons I did learn
from the probably best mother one can be born
in the probably best shoes I've ever worn
aware of the probability this might one day be a song
asumin' there's probably no best place I do belong
and all I do is roll...
I'm so cold without you
some bodies came in to love me
but I was sendin' 'm through
some bodies came in to warm me
still I'm so cold without you
I'm so cold without you
nobody's called my name
I didn't wanna hear the song
somebody's threw me a flame
but the lights are out now that you're gone
the lights are out now that you're gone
I was raised a restless man
and restless 's what I am
let's see what's 'round the corner
is there more pink than blue
that keeps me waitin' for you?
no I could not lead the dance
in every short romance
I stayed one picture long
uneasy I was goin'
what keeps me waitin' for you?
oh I'm so cold without you
yeah I'm so cold without you
some bodies came in to love me
Blues workin'
you call me from the ladies room
to say that you're expectin' me
come knockin' gently, seven times
and I will turn the key
I still can hear the sound of the last door
I closed behind me leavin' you once more
all my tickets for a ride
lay cut to pieces on my floor
you got my blues workin'
you got my blues workin' baby for you
you got my blues workin'
you got my blues workin' baby for you
right here with my hands
I'm kneadin' grit to stick with me
right here in my hands
where you belong and for ever wanna be
gotta fight my way out of dead end alley
can't go round the mountain to the valley
all my tickets for a ride are ashes
still I dilly-dally
you got my blues workin'...
the listless wolf is in the pack
and pays no attention to the moon
daydreams with him, on your back
still make you go off in a swoon
the light goes by on single malt
the dark is cryin' tears of salt
all the tickets for a ride are shreds
nothin' happenin' in our beds
you got my blues workin'...
Never gonna give you up
I'm never gonna give you up,
never gonna let you down,
no matter what times are on the move
no I'm never gonna give you up
I'm never gonna let you down
no matter what goddess will ask me to
while a full moon is burnin' in the bonfire
I'm wonderin' where's that howlin' wolf
our hearts are wrapped up in barbed wire
o their playground, their playground
their playground too misty for a move
no I'm never gonna give you up ...
the lights they may be on now in our big house
a crowded place from noon to noon
but what about the flickerin', in our own eyes
isn't it due back
isn't it due back
isn't it due back before soon
no I'm never gonna give you up...
Said alright
I said alright I will love you 'til the end of time
I said alright I will love you 'til the end of time
well alright I will love you 'til the end of time
I said alright I will love you
I said alright I will love you
you can't make love, love makes you,
love's at the wheel, you're in the back,
love will hit you straight out of the blue
there's no defense against a love-attack
I was asked a question, I said yes
she was asked a question and said yes
we stepped outside into the rain of rice
grains gone, we learned about the price
I said alright...
mama's in the kitchen, daddy's in the picture
the son is ridin' on his bike
the girls are sweet, they're drinkin' tea
mama made to make us sleep all night
my darlin' birds, you can grow up on my wire
'til you wanna fly away my darlin' birds
will you throw your makers' warnings in the fire
like I did the other day
anyhow I said, I will love you 'til the end of time
anyhow I will love you 'til the end of time
well alright I will love you...
Weddin' day
well he was there, when the lights went out,
couldn't see her touch the hand of that other guy,
her perfect smile was flyin' to the heart of a stranger
just like it had flown to him on day one
well a man is strong, in a woman's arms
when she holds him like a mother or a child
now a man takes off his hat, sits down to eat his plate,
but the bed is gettin' colder every day
all the way, all the way
he mistrusted the rain on his weddin' day
he mistrusted the rain on his weddin' day
well the bellman was still shoutin' that pain was at the door,
gazin' at the floor, she said "I'm leavin'",
and the rain, it sang a song on the windowpane
as she got out and he watched her walk away
all the way, all the way
he mistrusted the rain on his weddin' day
he mistrusted the rain on his weddin' day
Six string train
I gotta pick myself a baby for the night
I gotta pick myself a baby for the night
I gotta pick myself a baby and I'll be doin' fine
when I pick myself that baby for the night
I'm on a six string train...
I gotta strum myself into that other town
I gotta strum myself into that other town
I gotta strum myself away from here and I'll be doin' fine
when I strum myself into that other town
I'm on a six-string-train...
hear me baby, hold me dear
roll 'm baby, roll 'm dear,
roll your fingers through my lanky hair
grab me lady, what's the matter,
I don't plan to stay for ever
I just want a baby for the night
I'm on a six string train...
I'm on a six string train to bring my baby home
I'm on a six string train to bring my baby home
I'm on a six string train away from here
and I wonder where we're goin'
and I'm hopin' for a place where I belong
yeah I'm hopin' for a place where I belong
I'm on a six string train...
Love is the dope
I had both of my feet walkin' the street
lookin' for love all the time
both of my eyes were two rollin' dice
to the love of my life
at the very end of a trivial day
lookin' for love one can't find
under a fringe, singin' for me,
two eyes in a choir of desire
singin'
love is the dope
love is the dope
love is the dope of all times
singin'
love is the dope
love is the dope
love is the dope of all times
now my burden is gone, this lad's in love,
love is the dope of all times
yeah I'm still walkin' streets but all I can see
is a fringe above eyes full of fire
yeah my burden is gone, I know where I belong
love is the dope of all times
come summer, come fall, come winter, know all
that love is the dope of all times
yeah love is the dope
love is the dope
love is the dope of all times
she sent me some waves and vibrations that played
with my heart like the wind plays with fire
she entered my soul as an s.o.s.-call
as a cry from the dark for some light
singin'
love is the dope
love is the dope
love is the dope of all times
singin'
love is the dope
love is the dope
love is the dope of all times
Wild ways
have you seen that look in her eyes?
it drove me mad, it drove me wild.
have you seen that look in her eyes?
a million nails that nailed me to the ground
an eye, a look, a book with no last page
an eye, a look, a book on love and rage
I saw it all, one moment, before she walked away
in her wild wild ways
in her wild wild ways
wild wild ways
in her wild wild ways
all the best on all the roads
you travel on and on away from me
and if happiness travels with you,
all the roads are yours, but all I see
is that look in your eyes that drove me wild
and set my heart aflame,
I saw it all one moment before you walked away
in your wild wild ways
in your wild wild ways
in your wild wild ways
in your wild wild ways
have you seen that look in her eyes?
On the road again
I always loved the shadows of the trees growin' on your land
I rest upon your moss to gather strength to stand for what I am
I once took you for a fatal love
now you're my guidin' star above
whenever I get off the road, you steer me
on the road again...
you took me places, moved my cases
and you're harder than any rock I wrecked on
you show me that the truth is everywhere
and that every worn out shoe can be repaired
to walk upon your ever magic land
and on the road again...
and to gather all the time it takes
to love her up to the point she breaks
you need the help of gods
at first I was a little scared
to ask her for her hand
but as I did
I was in the shadows of the trees that are growin' on your land
and now I rest upon your moss to gather strength to stand for what I am
I once took you for a fatal love
now you're my guidin' star above
whenever I get off the road , you steer me
on the road again...
Wonderful rainy day
oh it's such a wonderful rainy day
you and I, we're stayin' in bed
oh it's such a wonderful rainy day
you and I, we're stayin' in
you and I once got lost
slammin' the doors of our home
we thought we needed two cars
to find a better place under the sun
but now all we pray for is rain
it's such a wonderful rainy day...
there were times many words on our tongues
ended up in a very sad song,
singin' it alone in a moonlight
in a hopeless Jerusalem,
but a sad song too's got an end
it's such a wonderful rainy day...
I would sing from the rooftops,
about our love from the rooftops,
but rooftops are dangerous on rainy days
it's such a wonderful rainy day
you and I, we're stayin' in bed
it's such a wonderful rainy day
you and I, we're stayin' in bed
Blueprint
the lilies came on saturdays
and every lily brought a tear
helpless lilies in a vase
lilies at his feet, oh dear
I talked to him and to myself
I made a promise to be good
from 8 years old to where we meet again
live a life in gratitude
my gratefulness followed the lilies
and from every cross I ran
I wasn't too much of a maker
but today, today I know I stand
on the home side of the fire
the fat side of the land
on top of mount desire
on the blueprint of your plan
almost 40 years, are gone
and I'm not through with doin' wrong
but all the extra time I get,
the extra time you did not get,
I'll show you zeal and backbone
and loads of love on top of that
I can see your picture on the wall
but your voice I cannot hear at all
the way you moved, I do ignore
I would trade a million of my kisses for one of yours
here on the homeside of the fire
on the fat side of the land
on top of mount desire
on the blueprint of your plan...
Without this girl I cannot win
I keep an eye on the things you do
I keep one eye open when you sleep
I got a handful of breadcrumbs
not to get lost in love so deep
I was mountainhigh when I heard you
say you just ran out of time to weep
I threw myself into your river
not to get lost in love so deep
somebody locked me in,
in a hollow tree,
there is no lock and there's no key
somebody locked her out
of the world within
without this girl I cannot win...
without this girl I cannot win
I talked to you over the phone
and you lied that all the neighbours miss me
I got no plan, nor promises to keep
not to get lost in love so deep
not to get lost in love so deep
somebody locked me in
