1. Nowhere Zone
(C. Funk, D. Kincaid)
She helped me
To see clearly
How easy
A fall can be
She's not thinking of me
She's had me in a freeze so long
I can't go home
Growing colder
In my nowhere zone
Seems funny
Dreams money
Fame fortune
Pale quickly
When you love someone
Learn from them
They lead you
Where they leave you
She's not thinking of me
She's had me in a freeze so long
I can't go home
Growing colder
In my nowhere zone
She helped me
To see clearly
How easy
A fall can be
2. Lodi
(J. C. Fogerty)
Just about a year ago
I set out on the road
Seekin’ my fame and fortune
Lookin’ for a pot of gold
Things got bad, and things got worse
I guess you know the tune
Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again
I road in on a Greyhound
I’ll be walkin’ out if I go
I was just passin’ through
Must be seven months or more
I ran out a time and money
It looks like they took my friend
Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again
The man from the magazine
He said I was on my way
Some where I lost connection
I ran out of songs to play
I came into town, a one-night stand
I looks like my plans fell through
Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again
Now if I only had a dollar
For every song I’ve sung
Every time I’ve had to play
While people sat there drunk
You know I’d catch the next train
Back to where I live
Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again
Oh Lord, stuck in Lodi again
3. Trial By Fire
(C. Funk, D. Kincaid)
All night long
Papa would pray
Give me strength
For one more day
Workin' like a dog
In the dry sun
Oh, nothin' to show,
Another day done
The hellfire and misery
Of a godforsaken man
Is all Papa left to me
All the legacy I have
Trial by fire
Papa would say
The good Lord gives
And takes away
The devil's own son
He called me
All he said I was
I set out to be
The hellfire and misery
Of a godforsaken man
Is all Papa left to me
All the legacy I have
Mama broke down
The day he died
I carried him home
And closed his eyes
I showed no tears
His only son
Oh, nothin' to show
Another day done
4. Have Love Will Travel
(R. Berry)
Have love, whoa Baby will travel
Have love, yea Darlin' will travel
If you need lovin’
Then hmm, mmm, I’ll travel
Well I travel from Maine to Mexico
To find a little girl that'll love me so
No matter where, no matter where I’ll be
I'm lookin' for a lover that’ll satisfy me
Have love, whoa Baby will travel
Have love, Yea Darlin' will travel
If you need lovin’
Then yeah, yeah, I’ll travel
Well I might take a boat, or I'll take a plane
Might hitchhike, or jump a train
Your kind of lovin' drives a man insane
So look for me a walkin' just any ol' way
Have love, whoa Darlin' will travel
Have love, yea Baby will travel
If you need lovin’
Then yeah, yeah, I’ll travel
5. No
Secrets, No Lies
(C. Funk, D. Kincaid)
Keep no secrets
Tell no lies
Out of the shadows
Darker than night
All of your secrets
Coming to light
All those fears that grew
Deep inside of you
So much illusion
Wearing you down
Only the Angels
Are innocent now
All your fears that grow
Only I will know
Keep no secrets
Tell no lies
6. Jailer Bring Me Water
(B. Darin)
Jailer bring me water
Jailer bring me water
Jailer bring me water
My throat is kind of dry
Now, I never have me no money
Seem to never have me no money
I never have me no money
Baby you’re the reason why
I’m gonna work until the good Lord calls me
I’m gonna work until the good Lord calls me
I’m gonna work until the good Lord calls me
He’ll be here by and by
Now, Jailer if you see my Baby
Jailer if you see my baby
Jailer if you see my baby
Just tell her I said good-bye
Jailer bring me water
Jailer bring me water
Jailer bring me water
My throat is kind of dry
7. Contribution
(D. Kincaid)
Well, I’m makin’ my contribution
That’s no lie, that’s my solution
To savin’ this world from self-destruction
I keep on makin’ my contribution
I don’t work in a factory
In a corporate office you won’t find me
I don’t have to be up a dawn
I don’t have to put a suit and tie on
But I have sweat as much as any man
In any job across this land
I’ve paid my dues to do what I do
And I don’t care how it looks to you
There’s a world out there that walks the line
Between devastation and peaceful times
There are people right here who can’t find a way
To deal with the pain of livin’ each day
A song to sing and a reason to smile
A little distraction from this world a while
Are what I have to give, if you can’t see
I’ll guess I’ll leave you to your misery
Now, I don’t claim to know the meaning of life
How to feed the world or set things right
I don’t think that I can right the wrongs
Do away with injustice by singing my song
I do my job as well as I can do
And hope that I help to get someone through
And maybe bring a little happiness
To this old world, well I do my best
Well, I’m makin’ my contribution
That’s no lie, that’s my solution
To savin’ this world from self-destruction
I keep on makin’ my contribution
8. The Smoky Mt. Lament
(C. Funk, D. Kincaid)
Oh Lord
Lord, a poor mountain boy
Was buried today
Buried today
So young
Just a poor woman's son
They carried away
So far away
One fight
For the rest of my life
I'll live with the pain
Live with the pain
One child
Sacrificed to a cause
That I can't explain
No I can't explain
The Smoky Mountain rain
Comin' down
Feels so cold
Our blood is in the fields
My boy is here no more
Oh Lord
Don't cry
I’ll be home by and by
I heard him say
He did say
So sure
That the dangers in store
Were all just a game
All just a game
I heard
In his last dyin’ words
He called out my name
Called my name
Oh Lord
Can't your mercy afford
A poor boy be saved
One boy be saved
9. Desperado Love
(S. Johns, M. Garvin)
Should I just ride in and steal you away
I don’t know what else to do
I’ve got a desperado love for you
I know you belong to another man
The first time we met I knew
I’d have a desperado love for you
I know that it breaks every law
To feel the way I’m feelin’
But I want your love so desperately
I don’t see the wrong in stealin’
So hold on I’m gonna shoot for the heart
Like desperados do
I’ve got a desperado love for you
Should I just ride in and steal you away
I don’t know what else to do
I’ve got a desperado love for you
Its so wrong to take what isn’t mine
And head out for the border
But I can’t look at you and have
Respect for law and order
So hold on I’m gonna shoot for the heart
Like desperados do
I’ve got a desperado love for you
I’ve got a desperado love for you
10. The War Is Over
(C. Funk, D. Kincaid)
A quick requiem
A small memorial
A moment of silence
A short editorial
The war is over now
The war is over now
You can go back to your homes
You can all go back to your homes
