Untamed Waters 04:46
lyrics
buy track
While the Jean’s steering down to the river bend We saw them waves rollin’ mighty high And all the boys mumbling to themselves “You wet devil, we won’t die” And it was ... just flat-out madness That we took ol' Jean down there Down a stream where no one’s been before Of burstin’ waters, of myth and fear And as the rogues ‘re hitting hard and the water broke Lady Jean started spinning wild We tried to grip onto the ropes we held Prayed to Jesus we wouldn’t die But damn it ... young Billy tumbled And so did Joon the pin boy, too As they joined their last dance ‘cross the planks Toppled over and hit their tomb You ridin’ untamed waters Don’t ever let your grip gettin’ lose You sailin’ untamed waters Don’t let the rapids spoil that cruise And when the tide came down past the river bend A golden light headin’ from the sky And then ol’ Deacon shoutin’ by the rail Spotting the boys side by side And we splashed ... into the waters But it was all too late by then Joon and Billy driftin’ peacefully (Yeah) just like brothers hand in hand You ridin’ untamed waters Don’t ever let your grip gettin’ lose You sailin’ untamed waters Don’t let the rapids spoil that cruise You ridin’ untamed waters Don’t ever let your grip gettin’ lose You sailin’ untamed waters It’s one for all or you’ll pay your dues

Wyoming 04:58
lyrics

Up here in Wyoming We’re headed for truth We’ll stand up for each other But can’t get consumed By loathing and hatred We firmly refuse Inside out ... yeah Up here in Wyoming No struggle’s in vain We’ll stand up for each other Hate Trumpian complaints We’re not to throw on others Our anger and shame Not up here ... yeah Up here in Wyoming Up here in Wyoming, up here in Wyoming We won’t rewind the times Up here in Wyoming Up here in Wyoming There’s plenty of cheers Though sometimes it gets harder And ease disappears ‘But down in our hearts There’s laughter and tears Inside out ... yeah And sometimes you wonder Has it ever been clearer That loathing and hatred And anger and fear Are wasted resources So laughter and tears We will share ... yeah Up here in Wyoming Up here in Wyoming, up here in Wyoming We won’t rewind the times Up here in Wyoming

While standin’ in the doorway She said though everything’s been a real blast, yo You shouldn’t ever gonna call me Little boy ... don’t fall in love ... Trapper Sue Golden sunlight on the river Like children we took a dive down in blue waters Her kisses struck like heavy lightnin’ Say her name ... poor little fool ... Trapper Sue She’s rakin’ all the foolish Believing (them) ladies would heavily crave them Poor little fools you’re gonna get it Wouldn’t you ... know that her name’s ... Trapper Sue And now this sunlit mornin’ I wonder (how) many boys she has been counting Listen to her voice she’s speaking softly Say my name ... poor little fool ... Trapper Sue

I Shot the President 02:52
lyrics
buy track
On Sunday last week When I felt the need To do what finally had to be done I brushed my dyed blonde hair And defied despair I knew my life had just begun I shot the president So straight in his heart I shot the president It tears me apart Oh, I've killed a gentleman So sweet and so smart I shot the president in his heart There was a special time When love made me blind When lovers were besotted fools His first lady I'd been For one night of sin How was I to know he's so cruel I shot the president So straight in his heart I shot the president It tears me apart Oh, I've killed a gentleman So sweet and so smart I shot the president in his heart On Sunday afternoon When he met his doom Soon everything was out of line He stumbled to his fall No power at all Revenge was tasting sweeter than wine I shot the president So straight in his heart I shot the president It tears me apart Oh, I've killed a gentleman So sweet and so smart I shot the president in his heart

Jesus is walking down Broadway, oh yeah Jesus she’s walking down Broadway Jesus is walking down Broadway, oh yeah Jesus she’s walking down Broadway Her poor shoes ‘re wearin’ thin but she’s walking Her sullen voice (is) soundin’ rough when she sighs Her brown eyes they are weary while she’s talkin’ There’ll be better days when greed finally dies Jesus ... Jesus ... Jesus ... Jesus Jesus ... Jesus ... Jesus ... yeah, don't you know Jesus is walking down Broadway, oh yeah Jesus she’s walking down Broadway There’s rage (and) finally young folks are walking It is spring time and change looms ahead So will this time the guardians of “justice” (Be) forced to lower their guards and be fair? Jesus ... Jesus ... Jesus ... Jesus Jesus ... Jesus ... Jesus ... yeah, don't you know Jesus ... Jesus ... Jesus ... Jesus Jesus ... Jesus ... Jesus ... yeah, don't you know Jesus is walking down Broadway, oh yeah Jesus she’s walking down Broadway Jesus is walking down Broadway, oh yeah Jesus she’s walking down Broadway

You truly saved me from the gutter You really did straight everything You got me sleeping on roses But I can’t make up my mind I just can’t make up my mind I just can’t make up my mind You held me close when I tumbled And that was not an easy thing But still you keep on calling But I can’t make up my mind I just can’t make up my mind I just can’t make up my mind You’re just like my private Jesus You did this crazy healin’ thing But I just can’t make up my mind I just can’t make up my mind I just can’t make up my mind And now it feels I kinda screwed you I really didn’t do a thing But now the misery is over I just can’t make up my mind I just can’t make up my mind I just can’t make up my mind You’re just like my private Jesus You did this crazy healin’ thing But I just can’t make up my mind I just can’t make up my mind I just can’t make up my mind I just can’t make up my mind I just can’t make up my mind I just can’t make up my mind ...

Lisbon Girl 04:31

It’s a town by the river That I’m dwelling in my mind Though I seem to comprehend That it’s been many years (And) many yearnings of mine (‘ve) been laid off to foreign lands Solemn Days all these colors in my head It’s a waste all this boredom plain and dead Down the pier I’ll set sail and drift ashore (I’ve) got an urge to leave the calm to strive once more Lisbon Girl You’re rushing through my dreams Like the Tejo rushing gently To the wide Atlantic sea Lisbon Girl You’re rushing through my dreams To the mighty open waters To the vast and rollin’ sea Spinnin' wheels in my head (’ve) been in awe of what it takes (To) be that bold and catch the breeze Though that town by the river It is real ... no, it ain’t fake So I’m bound to cross the sea Solemn Days all these colors in my head It’s a waste all this boredom plain and dead Down the pier I’ll set sail and drift ashore (I’ve) got an itch to leave the calm to strive once more Lisbon Girl You’re rushing through my dreams Like the Tejo rushing gently To the wide Atlantic sea Lisbon Girl You’re rushing through my dreams To the mighty open waters To the vast and rollin' sea

Do you fear trouble Has your strength doubled Don’t you remember the times we’ve been havin’ we lovin’ each other? Are you still bleedin’ Is your heart cheatin’ Don’t you remember the times we’ve been havin’ we lovin’ each other ... over and? Are you still hoping Will you stand coping Don’t you remember the times we’ve been havin’ we lovin’ each other? It’s a queer fightin’ ‘Til the end ridin’ Don’t you remember the times we’ve been havin’ we lovin’ each other ... over and? Everett, what’s the answer You don’t need to drown your soul Everett, what’s the answer We don’t know ... we don’t know ... though soon you’ll see, Everett It’s a grave matter Will it get better Don’t you remember the times we’ve been havin’ we lovin’ each other (And) though it’s still frightening Ain’t it enlightening? Don’t you remember the times we’ve been havin’ we lovin’ each other ... over and? Let your love guide you Feed its strength to you Don’t you remember the times we’ve been havin’ we lovin’ each other Don’t you keep hidin’ Start some queer fightin’ Don’t you remember the times we’ve been havin’ we lovin’ each other ... over and? Everett, what’s the answer You don’t need to drown your soul Everett, what’s the answer We don’t know ... we don’t know ... though soon you’ll see, Everett
