Perfectly Good Pizza

Train To Birmingham

I've been riding on this train
Drinking whiskey for the pain
Another good ol' boy going home
And every town I see
Seems to take a part of me
That's the price that you pay when you roam

CHORUS:
Well I cry when I have to
And I lie when I can
But I die a little slower
On the train to Birmingham

I got holes in both my shoes
And a guitar full of blues
And a one way ticket for a remedy
It's the same ol' lonesome song
I've been singing all night long
Hey, porter, are we out of Tennessee?

CHORUS

Well every year I ride this train
To Alabama in the rain
When I get that lonesome feelin' in my bones
I never get to Birmingham
But gettin' there ain't the plan
I just like the feel of going home

CHORUS

A Crazy Girl is Hard to Find

I'm sorry you're so crazy
I'm sorry you're so blue
I'm sorry that this sad old song's for you

Just when we had a good thing going
You had to go and lose your mind
Sane girls are so easy

But a crazy girl's hard to find

You see rabbits in the mirror
And you cry at puppet shows
You laugh at me when I take off my clothes

But underneath the dusty covers
Your madness almost shines
Well those sane girls, they come so easy

But a crazy girl's hard to find

Just when I think I got ya figured
You leave me way behind
Just when I think I see your shadow
I see it's only mine

So you can see why I get nervous
When you say you're gonna go
'Cause you could leave forever and never know
So stay here in this mad house
We'll lose it together this time
Well those sane girls, they're so easy

But a crazy girl's hard to find
Yeah, those sane girls, they come so easy

But a crazy girl's hard to find

It's Alright

Spend my money but love me honey
Break my heart but be my girl
I just want you to be there when I come home

Drive my new car; smoke my cigar
Buy you diamonds and your pearls
Ooh ooh treat me like a dog but throw a little meat on them bones

CHORUS:
And it's alright
Yes, it's alright
It's alright with me

CHORUS

You can hurt me but don't desert me
Leave me runnin' but stay all night
I want you to know your love is what I need

You can use me but don't refuse me
Turn me back but do me right
I just want you to know my love is guaranteed

CHORUS THREE TIMES

Conquer Me, Conquer You

With a poor boy's heart and a gypsy's soul
I come knocking on the door of your beauty
And in the fire of love which nobody can control
You are a million flaming mirrors that confuse me
I appear as a stranger which leaves you in danger
Of showing me a little too much
So you hide in the turning of love's constant burning
'til the fire is too hot for me to touch
Just too hot to touch

While the flames die down and the sparks go away
And we stare at each other's ashes
Well the slaves of the pain and the glory of the day
And the free flight that constantly crashes
Well how much do we give in order to live
Just as free as the love that will find us?
Well the light is so bright it fills up the night
But if we look for too long it will blind us
That light's going to blind us
Conquer me conquer you
That's all that we do, that's - that's all that we do
Conquer me and conquer you yeah-ay

So I do my dance out on the edge of the world
And I wait for a woman to save me
With my life in a trance and my eye on a girl
While I live between that which enslaves me
Sometimes she'll curse me sometimes she'll nurse me
Back to a health that her love requires
Well I come up the winner or I come up the sinner
But only to burn in the fire
Only burning in the fire

Conquer me conquer you
That's all we do, that's all that we do...

Let's Sing Another One

Let that ol' moon forget to shine
'Cause you got yours and I got mine
We told our stories but the night's still young
So pass that guitar over
Let's sing another one

And let this old whiskey do us in
Y'know I'd rather die with my friends
And if there's no tomorrow
Well, it sure was fun
So pass that guitar over
Let's sing another one

And here's to the hurt that you have suffered
Here's to the joy that you have known
Here's to the ones who have each other
And here's to the ones who live alone
So let those fiddles lose control
And let that bass shake your soul
The whole world's sleeping but we just begun
So pass that guitar over
Let's sing another one
(C'mon Jack)

And let those bastards sell the sky
'Cause we got something they can't buy
Our times are measured by the songs we've sung
So pass that guitar over
Let's sing another one
Pass that guitar over
Let's sing another one

An Arm And A Leg

Your place or mine well who gives a shit
'Cause likely as not we ain't gonna fit
'Cause you got your own way
And I sure got mine
And we can't split the difference
With cheap talking wine

CHORUS:
Oh it's a nickel a doughnut
It's a dime for a dance
But it's an arm and a leg for
A little romance

You want a husband
And you want new clothes
Well I'm here to tell you
That I'm not one of those
You want somebody
To say it's alright
While I want a woman
To love me tonight

CHORUS

I've got no plans for the future (what future?)
And I've got no hand in the past (what past?)
This could be love or a fist in a glove
You don't know what hits you
It happens so fast

CHORUS

One For The One For Me

Some women where passion like a most recent fashion
Some women want money for love
Some live on wishes and some do the dishes
And you are the woman that I'm thinking of

CHORUS:
So it's one for the one for me
One for the stars up above
One for the night and one for the light
And one for the woman who gives me her love

My life is a curtain - the next scene's uncertain
The actor is lost in his role
The lady is waiting - the man hesitating
And lovers are children afraid to grow old

CHORUS

Ashes to ashes the emptiness crashes
The dreamer wakes up in the dream
Your journey of sorrow runs off with tomorrow
And rainbows are cluttered with things as they seem

CHORUS

Leave Your Shoes With The Shoeshine Boy

Leave your shoes with the shoeshine boy
Leave your shoes with the shoeshine boy
Well come back in a week with his smile on your feets
Leave your shoes with the shoeshine boy

Don't you dance with that crazy girl
Don't you dance with that crazy girl
Well she'll give you all roses grab all your hoses
Don't dance with that crazy girl

Now see that guy with the roller skates
Well you better warn him before it's too late
If he keeps drinking that whiskey and beer
Pretty soon he's gonna disappear

Tell a joke that nobody knows
Tell a joke that nobody knows
Well if it's reasonably funny
Why, they'll give you all the goddamn money
Tell a joke that nobody knows

Take your hat off and roll it home
Take that goddamn hat off and roll it directly home
You can buy a gas station or you can die of starvation
Take your hat off and roll it home

Now I see you're leaning towards the end of the world
And all your oysters done run outta pearls
But before you leave this place
Wipe that jelly off your face

And leave your shoes with the shoeshine boy...

Better Get It While You Can

She's got a stainless steel liver... make any man quiver
The way she drinks that Thunderbird wine
She's got her feet up on the table and she's naked to the navel
Oh I wish she was a friend of mine

If that ain't enough, Lord, she plays the guitar
Just like Mississippi John Hurt
The room's start to bumpin' feet start to pumpin'
My heart jump right outta my shirt

CHORUS:
Better get it while you can
I believe this girl is ready
Well you call yourself a man, Bozo
You better be steady, Freddie
Pull your socks up to your chin
Jump right in
You better get it while you can

Well now the whiskey's kinda soothing
So my feets start to moving
And I stroll on up to say: "Hi!"
But the floor is full of razors
And her eyes are just like lasers
Oooh my tongue feels like a piece of pie
So after choking on my spirit
(that's what you get for getting near it)
She start talking like a telephone
Then she raps her arms around me
Them arms they like to drown me
This girl knows about the flesh and bone

CHORUS:
Better get it while you can
I believe this girl is ready ee-ee
Well you call yourself a man, Jughead
You better be steady, Eddie
Pull your socks up to your chin
Jump right in
You better get it while you can

Pull your socks up to your chin
Jump right in
You better get it while you
You better get it while you
You better get it while you can

I Killed An Ant

I killed an ant
With my guitar
Underneath romantic Indiana stars
He was a fool
I was so cruel
The power of music is no tool
So I hit him in the head
And now he's dead

I killed him there
By the front door
Well it was something he was really asking for
He was a chump
It was no bump
Or any ordinary lump
No I squashed his little head
And now he's dead

Well I'm sure he had a family
Some children and a pretty wife
And I'm sure he worked like the devil
Ah, who was I to take his tiny life
But...

I killed an ant
With my guitar
Underneath romantic Indiana stars
He was a fool
I was so cruel
The power of music ain't no tool
So I bopped him in the head (not quite sure here..bopped makes about
And now he's dead the only sense)

La, la, la, la la, la, la la, la, la

If The World Didn't Spin

There's a squirrel on a ledge there's a bird in a tree
And try as they might they will never agree
The Tennessee sun feels so good on my skin
Well I guess we'd fall off if the world didn't spin

Well I went to the store for an oyster or two
A couple more beers and I'll kick off my shoes
Trim up my toenails or piss in the wind
(I don't know - I'm always pissing in the wind)
Well I guess we'd fall off if the world didn't spin

Well my lover's so crazy she laughs when I cry
She's happy, she's sad, and I never know why
We fight all the battles but nobody wins
Well I guess we'd fall off if the world didn't spin

We'd go round and round and round and round
and round and round and round and round
We'd go - (it's kinda boring, ain' it?)
We'd go up and down and up and down
and up and down
There ain't no place else to go

Well you arrive as a baby all goofy and soft
Then you're old and you're wrinkled and no better off
So do what you must - you can't do it again
(Them bastards won't let you do it again)
Well I guess we'd fall off if the world didn't spin
