Supermarket Rage
03:24
|

|
Rolling high, windows down
Sky spinning like a merry-go-round
Call up a friend just to pass the time
Radio’s bad, TV’s worse
They brought my newspaper in a beat up hearse
Jimmy Cliff comes on to increase my frequency
And I don’t mind, I don’t mind
Driving down that dotted line
I don’t mind a little love today
The whole world’s living in a paper bag
Trying to see through God’s price tag
Holding up a candle, it’s dark all around
My house is a prison, the jailer is me
I’d walk out the door but freedom ain’t free
These days, they sell it by the pound
And I don’t mind, I don’t mind
Driving down that dotted line
I don’t mind a little love today
Don’t you worry, bout a thing
Winter is turning into spring
Love will soon blossom on the vine
You can find it wherever you go
But this supermarket rage is out of control
I couldn’t find it there, guess I’ll try next time
And I don’t mind, I don’t mind
driving down that dotted line
I don’t mind a little love today
I don’t mind a little love today

The Real You

Nobody knows the real you
Nobody knows the real you
You hide behind your liquor and perfume
You’re damaged baby, you’ve got open wounds
And I don’t wanna make a movie of your life
I just want you to stop twisting the knife
Nobody knows the real you
Nobody knows the real you
Nobody knows the real you
And it kills my heart
To seeing you living this way
Let the healing start
Please don’t fade away
Breathe and love yourself, breathe and love yourself
Breathe and love yourself, breathe and love yourself
Wear your wounds like a warrior, wear your wounds like a warrior
Breathe and love yourself, breathe and love yourself
Nobody knows the real you
Nobody knows the real you
Nobody knows the real you
Like I do

White Toyota Ranger
Looking at the tears fall of a stranger
Parked in the back of the gas station
Wondering what became of the nation
I could give you my forgiveness
If you give me a little distance
You say maybe baby don’t go
Let’s just wait until tomorrow
I just want to say, I’ll be on my way
I just want to say, I’ll be on my way
I just want to say, I’ll be on my way
I’m just looking for a hero
Looking for someone to believe in
Maybe you could be my savior
Teach me how to love again
I just want to say, I’ll be on my way

Turn to Ashes
03:59
|
|||
|
I put my faith in you and then a screw turned loose
And now I’m all alone, out upon the open road
All that I thought I did know has turned to ashes
I’ll mine this misery gold I promise there will be
And now I’ve found a place to stand
I’ll move forward as a better man
Watching as the divine plan has turned to ashes
And the darkness is growing bright
And the freedom has turned to night
I put my faith in time, I’ll go on walking down the line
Looking for a way to shine, a way to mend a broken mind
Hoping that this hurt will die and turn to ashes

Honeysuckle

Don’t the honeysuckle vine smell sweet
I’m down here on rainbow creek
Ain’t there nothing that a man can do
To please a woman like you
To please a woman like you
Listen to me baby, well I ain’t leaving
I’m gonna love you till my lungs stop breathing
I’m broken now, I can surrender
Take everything you want, I’m a giver not a lender
I held back my love for fear of rejection
Was like a cinema, master of projection
Locked out of your heart, craving a connection
I’m sorry I got lost, I’m bad with directions
Swimming to the light for the first time, swimming to the light for the last
Take my heart, throw it in the lava
Take my skull use it as a candelabra
Take my bones, give em' to the river
You know I told your daddy that he could have my liver
Now boys don’t do like I’ve done
Treat your baby like a setting sun
Don’t stay too long and you better not run
Treat your baby like a setting sun
Treat your baby like a setting sun
Treat your baby like a setting sun
Treat your baby like a setting sun
Don’t the honeysuckle vine smell sweet
I’m down here on rainbow creek
Ain’t there nothing that a man can do
To please a woman like you
To please a woman like you

Wash Over You
03:38
|
|||
|
Now I don’t cry when I see a blue jay
I’m teaching myself to smile
She was everything to me, now my everything is wild
When there’s so many signs and everything reminds you
Of the one you’ve been dreaming of, all you can do, all you can do
Is let it wash on over you, let it wash on over you
When I wake up, will I remember
What life felt like before the fall
I’m watching snow drift out my window
I can see her in it all
When there’s so many signs and everything reminds you
Of the one you’ve been dreaming of, all you can do, all you can do
Is let it wash on over you, let it wash on over you

Roll Um Easy
03:24
|
|||
|
Oh I am just a vagabond
A drifter on the run
And eloquent profanity
It rolls right off my tongue
And I have dined in palaces
Drunk wine with Kings and Queens
But darlin', oh darlin'
You're the best thing I've ever seen
Won't you roll me easy
Oh slow and easy
Take my independence
With no apprehension,no tension
You walkin' talkin' dream paradise
Sweet pair a' dice
Well I been across this country
From Denver to the ocean
And I never met girls who could sing so sweet
Like the angels that live in Houston
Singin' "Roll me easy, so slow and easy...
Play that Concertina, I'll be your temptress..."
And baby I'm defenseless
Singin' harmony
In unison
Sweet harmony
Gotta hoist your flag and I'll beat your drum

Day by Day
03:19
|

|
We used to build cardboard ships in the backyard
Life was simple in the shelter of your mother's arms
But things they complicate, it gets hard to navigate
I’m still learning how to stand up straight
I take it day by day, day by day
Making my own way, day by day
We used to walk downtown to see what trouble we could find
Life was different then, we had a rebel state of mind
But things, they escalate, it gets hard to relate
I’m still learning how to clean the slate
I take it day by day, day by day
Making my own way, day by day

Timeless River
04:33
|

|
River of one thousand eyes
River of one thousand voices
Looking down into the river where I died
And left behind one thousand choices
You have to sin to begin again
You have to drown to be reborn
Like a child you’ve been set free
Like a child you’ll fall again
Timeless river rolling nowhere
Timeless river stealing your fear
Timeless river, timeless river
Timeless river, set me free
Listen to that river sing
Listen to that river flowing
The jailbird wakes and spreads her wings
In my heart the chains are broken
Timeless river rolling nowhere
Timeless river stealing your fear
Timeless river, timeless river
Timeless river, set me free
All my judgements and desires
Have perished with the funeral pyre
All my anger all my pain
Have vanished like the morning rain
Timeless river rolling nowhere
Timeless river stealing your fear
Timeless river, timeless river
Timeless river, set me free

Maybe I’m a prisoner, maybe I’m free
I could be nothing at all
Could be a songbird up in the trees
Or maybe I’m a rolling stone
Could be on a mountain or deep in the sea
I might be lonely tonight, but I won’t stop believing
This is how it should be, and maybe I’m a rolling stone
I could be an angel or the devil you know
I’m not the kind to take sides, walking in the middle
That’s where you’ll find me, and maybe I’m a rolling stone
There could be a bullet coming for you
Could be a flower at your door
Could be a blessing, could be a curse
Or maybe I’m a rolling stone
Maybe I’m a rolling stone
Maybe I’m a rolling stone

J.T.
by Steve Earle & The Dukes
supported by 7 fans who also own “Fires for the Cold”
The best I've heard from Steve Earle in a while. The songs have a subtler, earthier tone, tastefully rendered in authentic sounding country/blues/bluegrass stylings. 'J.T' reminds of earlier records like 'Feel Alright' or 'Train a Comin'. Deep grief, love and compassion is felt on the final track, the only composition from Steve, seemingly written for his son. The rest, composed by JT, do confirm what a great songwriter he really was.
