1. Gettysburg
(C. Funk, D. Kincaid)
On a cold October's day
The battlefield at Gettysburg
On a plaque I read my name
The wheels of time begin to turn
I see the years stripped away
I see their lines blue and gray
Chorus:
Down in Gettysburg
Saw them fall
Bloody Gettysburg
Took them all
Waited for the word
Never came
Retreat from Gettysburg
I've seen a lot of wicked things
Heard a lot of people cry
I know it couldn't touch the pain
Of seeing 50,000 die
I saw the sun fall away
The moon shone white on their graves
Chorus
Billy Yank said good-bye
Mother's son left to die
Dixieland look away
Mother's son died today
Papa fought a bloody war
His father in the one before
Walking through the haunted field
I knew we couldn't give no more
I saw the years stripped away
I watched men die blue and gray
Chorus
2. A Matter Of Survival
(C. Funk, D. Kincaid)
You know you don't want him
So why don't you leave him
You know you don't love him
So why do you see him
I'll never understand
No I'll never understand
Chorus:
Did you read it in the bible
Did they teach you all that in school
It's a matter of survival
Better ask yourself what you're doing
I know how he treats you
I know that he beats you
You know you don't need it
So why don't you leave it
I'll never understand
No I'll never understand
Chorus
You know if you were mine
I'd love you all the time
You know you don't need it
So why don't you leave it
I'll never understand
No I'll never understand
Chorus
3. Nothing to fear
(C. Funk, D. Kincaid)
Turn the lights down low
Turn all the lights down low
Killer on the loose they say
Heard it on the radio
Starless night, the moon is white as bone
A knock upon the door
Maybe it's just the wind
Listen to your heartbeat roar
Are you gonna open it
Starless night, the moon is white as bone
Chorus:
Nothing to fear but fear it's
Nothing to fear you tell yourself
Nothing to fear but fear it's
Nothing to fear, is it ?
Chorus
A knock upon the door
Maybe you think it's him
Listen to your heartbeat roar
Are you gonna let me in
Starless night, the moon is white as bone
Chorus
4. Honor among thieves
(C. Funk, D. Kincaid)
Sad stories run cheap 'round here
No reason to apologize
Everybody's had one bad year
You've fallon from paradise
But you're not alone, you're not alone no more
Chorus:
Honor among thieves, all that you'll need
It's how we live, it's how you die
Honor among thieves, everything we need
It's written in your eyes
Everybody's had to lose their pride
It's easy when you lay with dogs
You thought you had a private line
But nobody makes a deal with God
And you're not alone, you're not alone no more
Chorus
Pick a pocket and it makes you feel
Like a small time criminal
Steal a million in a crooked deal
Everybody's gonna let you know
That you're not alone, you're not alone no more
Chorus
5. Strychnine
(Roslie)
Some folks like water
Some folks like wine
I like the taste
Of straight strychnine
You might think it's funny
That I like this stuff
Once you've tried it
You can't get enough
Chorus:
Wine is red, poison's blue
Strychnine is good
For what's ailing you
Some folks like water
Some folks like wine
I like the taste
Of straight strychnine
Chorus
If you listen to what I say
You're gonna try Strychnine someday
Make you jump, make you shout
It'll even knock you out
Some folks like water
Some folks like wine
I like the taste
Of straight strychnine
6. Hard luck runner
(C. Funk, D. Kincaid, E. Rupprecht)
Like a murder in a one horse town
I can tell you word gets around
I hear you've been lookin' for me
Searchin five years runnin' for me
Got to prove you're something to me
Once your brother came ahead of you
Heard a rumor, wondered was it true
Said he had my number, like you
Driven by that hunger to prove
Just a hard luck runner, like you
I'll play this out for just so long
Say your prayers or move on
If you've got the sense to run
Hard luck runner run on
By the twilight, or the desert sun
In the midnight, someone always comes
Someone with my number, like you
Driven by that hunger to prove
Another hard luck runner, like you
7. In my dreams
(C. Funk, D. Kincaid, Dysart)
So many people, fall into line
They look right through me, steal all my time
Scream when I'm working, ask what it means
No one can touch me, alone in my dreams
Chorus
I've been everywhere
I've seen everything
I go everywhere, in my dreams
So many people, making demands
Too many chances, fall through my hands
I can't make them happy
At least so it seems
No one can touch me, alone in my dreams
Chorus
8. Walking on the water
(J.C. Fogerty)
Late last night, I went for a walk
Down by the river,near my home
Couldn't believe, with my own eyes
I swear I'll never leave, my home again
I saw a man, walking on the water
Coming right at me, from the other side
Calling out my name, do not be afraid
Feet begin to run, pounding in my brain
I don't want to go, I don't want to go
No no no no, say no, I don't want to go
9. Come home
(D. Kincaid)
Oh Daddy, Lord I miss you when you're gone
Daddy, please don't stay gone so long
'Cause I need you when I'm sleepin'
More when I'm awake
Wonderin' where you're keepin'
Watchin' everyday, for you Daddy
Don't stay gone so long
Oh Mama, how'd you get so far away
Mama, won't you come on home to stay
'Cause I need you when I'm sleepin'
More when I'm awake
Wonderin' where you're keepin'
Watchin' everyday, for you Mama
Don't stay gone so long
