Track Name: Figurin' Out Your Love
Tell me one more time, am I southbound by tomorrow
Figurin' out your love?
Pass this way again, well there ain't much left to borrow
Figurin' out your love

Hear that North Wind comin' through
You'll never come to know what hit ya
And if you fall, who'll run to come and get ya while I'm
Figurin' out your love

I'm beggin' you mama, you know I'm a-bound to ride for sure
Figurin' out your love
Come next fall, you know I'll be rapping at your door
Figurin' out your love

Hear that North Wind callin' you
No, any name won't fit ya
And if you fall, who'll run to come and get ya while I'm
Figurin' out your love

Dreams were made for comin' true
When twenty-five will take ya
And twenty-nine will come to break ya while I'm
Figurin' out your love
Track Name: Lousiana
You mark me a stranger,
and if one must be broken
Then it had to be me.
Had to fold my arms but I
Slowly walked away
And if I make it back, will I
Hear you call my name
Lousiana

You wrote me your letters,
and each one still unopen,
But you don't believe me.
Well, you wreck my mind each time I
Couldn't quite complain
And if I make it back, would I
Wear this ball and chain
Lousiana

You weeped and you moaned
But you promised another,
Lord, it couldn't be me.
As it pierced my heart, did I
Swallow back the pain?
And as midnight fell, It'll
Come to fall again
Lousiana
Track Name: Miss Katie Bell
Rise up tomorrow, but you don’t come back late
When come the judgement, I’da heard it straight
I’ve been there by and by, but I’m clean
I’ve read your book of poems by the old graveside
I’ve heard the captain lust beyond his wonders
But the guilty come and go
And the call before the crow
Beyond the evidence of you rings true
And when castles made of sand
Come tumblin’ to our hands
Ain’t it swell, Katie Bell.

Still none but sorrow if it kills what’s mine
Beg, steal or borrow like you did Poor Shine
Remember not what’s blind, but what has been
So taken by the arm, you spin like fire
The way you sing this song, you crack like thunder
Still the sign on the door
Reads ‘blood on the floor’
And the devil satisfied once more
And when castles made of sand
Come tumblin’ to our hands
Ain’t it swell, Katie Bell.

Goin’ where the water taste like cherry wine
Back to that Shenandoah Valley pine
I’m coming home sweet mama
I’m coming home on some lost highway
I’m coming home, but I ain’t alone
For one last picture show
Tuscaloosa, San Antone
Cloud the mem’ry of you, ain’t it true
But when castles made of sand
Come tumblin’ to our hands
Ain’t it swell, Katie Bell
Track Name: Colorado Rain
Throw your troubles in the fire,
Take my hand, I'll take you higher.
In my arms stay close to me,
The 'morrow come I'll set you free.

Travelled East and Travelled West,
She's the one that I love best
Now I'm gone so far away,
You know I'll come back some day.

Like the cold, cold Colorado rain,
when you come, you come,
Never return again.

Circle, circle, circle, dot,
Take these chains that you have wrought.
Circle, circle, circle, dot,
You can't give what you ain't got.

Like the cold, cold Colorado rain,
when you come, you come,
Never return again.
Track Name: Rocksteady
When the hurt is gone,
and all I know to do is wrong
Let’s find a place that we can share
So tie your lace and I’ll take you there so

Lately where I am, come tell it to me heavy now,
you know I’m ready,
Lady here I stand, the way you do me right
we gonna just rocksteady

I tried my best to comfort you,
but in the end my love fell through
I needed mine, you needed that,
I drain the well and you cast me back so

If it ain’t for us,
Ain’t no need to pick and fuss,
What it is I have to pay,
I’ll catch a greyhound back that way so
Track Name: Oh Dinah!
I don’t hear no country station
and my hand it swallowed all in verse
and still I’m lost in conversation
where I’s meet yours
Oh Dina..

Ain’t no tellin’ what she cravin’,
I caught her peekin’ down below
and all that sweetness in sighs
and cigarettes..

and I’m diggin’ nothin’ ‘bout this daybreak
so let us end it all with love,
each letter spells another day
with sketches on it.
In bitterness, I’m in your sway,
Whoa Dina, won’t you stay

7am with violets
with nothin’ else, or so it seems.
I’ll wake up screamin’ when I find it
all sealed inside,
Oh Dina..

Ain’t no angel in Houston,
Deliver this before she flee.
In all this mixed up confusion
I’m goin’ insane..

Of no desire I am able,
the comin’ back is where I came,
If I could lie here for a moment
I would trace her in mind,
If nothing else, if I could say
Whoa Dina, won’t you stay..
Track Name: Gypsy & The Joker Thief
The wake of mornin', quell the lighnin
Sullen from your reckless slumber
Now I come to see you as you are
A petal parting from her flower
Turning bluer by the hour
Gypsy shadow dancer from afar
When suddenly the Joker Thief
Cascading with his broken teeth
A long, but not forgotten, fare you well
It only hurts the first and last
Declaring from his broken cast
His strongest ever summer warning spell

And it’s only you I see coming down from your tower free
And if only I could be a friend to you, a lover too

The Joker Thief all full of banter
Lost himself again to laughter
Begged the Gypsy dancer for a tune
She cast her shadows to the floor
The thief he begged and cried for more
Dancing in her bells beneath the moon
O mighty willow, steady river
Lend me of your gold and silver
Calico Calamity of Night
Release me from your hopeless dream
Untie me sweetly by the seam
O Gypsy gal, to have you in my sight

When on that fateful day of fawning
Tears of lust and love and longing
Took the Joker Thief all by surprise
But when the midnight hour came
He asked the Gypsy for a name
And woke up with sleep still in his eyes
O Mighty Mountain honeysuckle
Break the bottle by the buckle
Down the road she took him for a ride
‘O curse the time slow passing by
This yearning kind of loving lie
Alone again without you by my side
Track Name: Under Control Blues
Come around baby, let me tell you somethin’
If I tell you now, you know you better say nothin’
I had it under control
Shot a man down, O late last night
Just to watch him die after pickin’ a fight
I had it under control
Then a copper man pull me by the side of the road
I tell him “listen man, but I got to go”
I had it under control

Stood under bridges by the end of the day
I was hangin’ on the back of a subway train
I had it under control
Walked by the river all cold and wet
As the rain kept pourin' on top of my head
I had it under control
But then a copper man pull me by the side of the road
I tell him “listen man, but I got to go”
I had it under control

Went back down to old Bleeker Street
Had to sell my six strings just to make ends meet
I had it under control
When a little young bird did pick me off my feet
She’s the prettiest thing I ever did meet
I had it under control
‘Til a copperman pulled me by the side of the road
I tell him “listen man, but I got to go”
I had it under control

Twenty five years all down the line
Haven’t heard a single word from that gal o’ mine
I had it under control
So I went back home just to find my bro
'Til somebody tell me that he’s down below
I had it under control
Then a copper man pulled me by the side of the road
I tell him “listen man, but I got to go”
I had it under control

Come around baby, let me tell you somethin’
If I tell you now, you know you better say nothin’
I had it under control
If a copper man come around lookin
I’m a-goin way down to Mexico City
I had it under control
O I’m leavin' ‘bout a quarter to three
I'm goin' down south where I can be free
I had it under control
But seein' that it’s only 'bout a half-past two
And I just wanna spend a little time with you
Babe, I got it under control
