2. I Know a Place (John Hiatt cover)
I know a place, where the dogs ain't right
I know a place, where the sun don't shine
I know a place, where the girls do the talking
In the back of my mind, in the back of my mind

I know a place, little girl in your closet
But running high, got a knife in his hand
Nobody would say those things to his mama
So he opened that blade
And he cut that man
So he opened that blade
And he cut that man

I know a place,and it goes no further
And where you are, when you leave it behind
One piece of advice from one tom to another
Get out of your mind, get out of your mind
Get out of your mind, yeah

I know a place, I know a place

3. When the Fire Hits the Sea
I'm no candle backing, blowin out in the wind
I'm no suffering like, the game I'm in
I'm no street walk, I got fire and brimstone
Sorry to disturb you, and your happy home

All bets are off now, when the fire hits the sea
I'm gonna lay it on you child, bring it all to me

I'm no penny pusher still have my pride
I did you wrong baby, took you for a ride
I'm no rosetta stone, I learned my lessons
By the way baby thank you for the sessions

All bets are off now, when the fire hits the sea
I'm gonna lay it on you child, bring it all to me

I'm no cop you can walk all over
When I say its done baby, I mean it's over
I don't know a bottle not filled with wine
I moved down to the quarry and I did my time

All bets are off now, when the fire hits the sea
I'm gonna lay it on you child, bring it all to me

Bring it all to me, when the fire hits the sea

4. Quarryman's Lament
I'm gonna leave my home, I ain't gonna see my baby
I'm gonna leave my home, I ain't gonna see my baby

Precious night, corner of the valley, listen to the wind scene
But you were not the one who was shattered
Now your calling back to me
I've been gone, who knows where
My life will lead, I give you all my love
All my soul, now I'm growing cold

I'm gonna leave my home, I ain't gonna see my baby
I'm gonna leave my home, I ain't gonna see my baby

Holding down, trying to tell myself life is what it seems
So you want that bad ass house that means nothing to me
You couldn't make up your mind, when we slept in the same bed
Now your back, now your crying
Tell me its all in my head

I'm gonna leave my home, I ain't gonna see my baby
I'm gonna leave my home, I ain't gonna see my baby

Yea tonight all about forgiveness, that's what you see
But you refuse to answer, make peace for what you did
Broken hearts don't matter, gonna live my life instead
I was always there for you, but you left me feeling dead

I'm gonna leave my home, I ain't gonna see my baby
I'm gonna leave my home, I ain't gonna see my baby

5. Spanish Boots (Jeff Beck cover)
I used to work and take a salary
In a hole up near a factory
But it did not take me too long
To lace up my boots and say "So long"
Long spanish boots on a "So long!"

I took a day job in Bethlehem
I nearly threw in the towel then
But it did not take me too long
To lace up my boots and say "So long"
I raised high spanish boots on a "So long!"
I took a spanish haberdashery
Restored with 15th century tapestry
Oh, Mr. Nesbitt got the best of me
So I strapped on my boots and said "So long!"
Laced up my high boots and "So long!" yeeaaahh!

6. Bird on a Wire (Leonard Cohen cover)
Like a bird on a wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free
Like a fish on a hook
Like a knight from an old fashioned book
I have saved all my ribbons with thee

And if I have been unkind
I hope that you will just let it go by
And if I have been untrue
I hope you know it was never to you

Like a baby stillborn
Like a beast with his horn
I have torn everyone who reached out for me

But I swear by this song
By all I have done wrong
I'll make it all up to you

I saw a beggar leaning on his wooden crutch
He called out to me "Don't ask for so much"
And a young man leaning on his darkened door
He cried out to me "Hey, why not ask for more"

Like a bird on a wire
Like a drunk in a midnight choir
I have tried in my way to be free

7. Three Times a Fool (Otis Rush cover)
Three times a fool and I love you so
Time wears on and I have to let you go
But I'm trying real hard but it's so hard to choose
It's so hard to be nice
When you treat me the way you do

You never been in love like I love you now
Mistreat me baby but I love you anyhow
Cause I'm trying real hard, baby it's so hard to do
It's so hard to be nice
When you treat me the way you do

Might not be a bad thing to bring some change
It might bring some sunshine and it might bring rain
Cause I'm trying real hard, baby it's so hard to do
It's so hard to be nice
When you treat me the way you do

8. Night Life (ft. B. B. King; Willie Nelson cover)
When the evenin', evenin' sun goes down
You gonna find me somewhere hangin' around
Oh, the night life, ain't no good life
But it's my life, yes it is
Ooo many people just like you and me
They be dreamin' of old used-to-be's
Said the night life, it ain't no good life
Ah, but it's my life
Ooo, listen to the blues
Listen to the way they're playing
Listen to the blues, listen to what they're sayin'
Life baby, is just another scene
In this old world, world of broken dreams
Oh, the night life, ain't no good life
But it's my life
Oh, the night life, ain't no good life
But it's my life
Oh, the night life, ain't no good life
But it's my life
Yeah, it's my life

My life, yes it is

9. Wandering Earth
Nobody's left to love me
So I wander this earth alone
Nobody's left to love me
So I wander this earth alone
Ain't got no money babe
No place to call my own

I'm going to leave you here now
Sure its on the beach of something
I'm off to find fortune and fame
I'm as serious as a loaded gun

Nobody's left to love me
So I wander this earth alone
But I ain't got no money babe
No place to call my own
Ooo yeaahh!

Mother earth comes calling
As I lye here dead at night
I guess my gun was loaded
I saw the flash with my own eyes
Now that my wandering is over
Ooo I wish I had more time

10. Look Over Yonder's Wall (Freddie King cover)
Look over yonder's wall, hand me down my walking cane
Look over yonder's wall, hand me down my walking cane
Yes I'm lookin out your window, here comes your man

Darlin I know your man went to war
Leave you was kinda rough, I don't know how many men he killed
But I believe it was enough
Look over yonder's wall, hand me down my walking cane
Yes I'm lookin out your window, here comes your man

Well I know your man went to war
Leave you was kinda rough, I don't know how many men he killed
But it was enough
Look over yonder's wall, hand me down my walking cane
Yes I'm lookin out your window, here comes your man

Look over yonder's wall, hand me down my walking cane
Look over yonder's wall, hand me down my walking cane
Yes I'm lookin out your window, here comes your man

11. Athens to Athens
I'm gonna leave my girl you should see
She is so fine
It's Better Athens to Athens
Kinda day and night

I'm gonna go into town
Going to try to flag a ride
It's Better Athens to Athens
Kinda day and night

I'm gonna watch the sun come up
Fires gonna rise
It's Better Athens to Athens
Kinda day and night

It's Better Athens to Athens
Kinda day and night

12. Blue and Evil
I'm so down and blue
On this as black as night
I have evil, evil on my mind
I am the ghost of the man that stands before you
Painting the silver line, nothing left to do

Blue and Evil
Gonna make a wreck of me
Blue and evil

So I take a drink, ease my evil mind
Love brings a sadness, felt at the break of day
Like climbing this mountain, trying to break away
Between the truth and the stone, lies reciprocity
A new day brings rising, but now I'm getting mean

Blue and Evil
Gonna make a wreck of me
Blue and evil

So I take a drink, ease my evil mind

See nothing but colors light through a broken glass
Now its time for reckoning, I know you didn't read
The way the life is down on me, I can hardly breath

Blue and Evil
Gonna make a wreck of me
Blue and evil

I'm only and I hate it child

Blue and Evil
Gonna make a wreck of me
Blue and evil

Ooo so I take a drink and ease my evil mind
Gonna make a mess of me
Blue and evil
Blue and evil
Blue and evil
Blue and evil

13. Baby You Gotta Change Your Mind (Blind Boy Fuller cover)
Baby if you think I'm crazy about you
You gotta change your mind
Baby if you think I'm crazy about you
You gotta change your mind

I woke up this morning 'bout half past four
Somebody knocking at my back door
If you think I'm crazy about you
You gotta change your mind
You better change your mind
Baby if you think I'm crazy about you
You gotta change your mind
Baby if you think I'm crazy about you
You gotta change your mind

Whatcha doin mama, you'lle do it again
I'm setting out 'bout half past ten
Baby if you think I'm crazy about you
You gotta change your mind
I mean you better change your mind

Baby if you think I'm crazy about you
You gotta change your mind
Baby if you think I'm crazy about you
You gotta change your mind
In front of the jury with my eyes full of tears
For beatin up my gale I got forty five years
Baby if you think I'm crazy about you
You gotta change your mind
I mean you better change your mind

Baby if you think I'm crazy about you
You gotta change your mind
Baby if you think I'm crazy about you
You gotta change your mind

My gale likes liquor, like rye and gin
But can't get a whiskey drink, but man
She thinks she can

Baby if you think I'm crazy about you
You gotta change your mind
I mean you better change your mind

Baby if you think I'm crazy about you
You gotta change your mind
Baby if you think I'm crazy about you
You gotta change your mind

I woke up this morning 'bout half past four
Somebody knocking at my back door
If you think I'm crazy about you
You gotta change your mind
I mean you better change your mind
