In The Land Of Salvation And Sin

Georgia Satellites In The Land Of Salvation And Sin Lyrics
1.I Dunno

Good to see ya back again
In the land of salvation and sin
You know sometimes, i get so lonely
Good to see that look on your face
I always held a special place
You might say, for your eyes only

I say good times bad times i dunno
Just pick up the dice and baby let 'em roll
It's the end of the line nowhere to go
I said good times bad times i dunno

Cause your totally emotionally abused
Spiritually impoverished and moral destitute
Step right up your table's waitin'
I thought you were long gone
I see now that i was all wrong
Oh really, please don't you be so blatant

Good times bad times i dunno
Just pick up the dice and baby let 'em roll
It's the end of the line nowhere to go
Good times bad times i dunno

Rock your ass and bash your skull
That's another thing never bluff
And you're dancin' with some pretty little juvenile delinquent
Take the one standin' right over there
Yeah the thing with the short black hair
The pink pants, black boots, nudie jacket with the silver
sequins

Good times bad times i dunno
Just pick up the dice and baby let 'em roll
It's the end of the line nowhere to go
Good times bad times i dunno
I dunno
I dunno
I dunno
I dunno
I just dunno


2.Bottle O' Tears

I had an ocean of promises
That never came true
I had a mountain of hope baby
Sailed right off into the blue
Thought i had everything i want
But then the truth comes clear

All i got left is this one bottle of tears
All i got left is this one bottle of tears

Now come drink one with me honey
Yeah one for old times sake
The taste ought to be familiar by now
No there ain't no mistake
Grab a glass pour it slow
Drinkin' a toast to the long lost years

(repeat chorus)

It's always been here waitin'
Down at the end of the line
White table cloth two empty glasses
Filled with tears and a bottle of wine

(repeat chorus)

Now it's gettin late so let's drink up
Here's to me and here's to you
And here's to hope, love, faith, and dreams
And all the things that we never could do
Don't wait 'round on no miracle
Ain't nothin' close to a miracle here
Just lonely, lonely nothin'
Nothin' but this bottle of tears
Nothin' but this bottle of tears
Nothin' but this bottle of tears


3.All Over But The Cryin'

There's a fool born every minute babe
But this time it isn't me
It doesn't take 20/20
To see what i can see

Don't wanna hear nothin bout nothin
Don't wanna hear how you are sincere
Cause your actions speak louder
Than the words you whisper in my ear

Don't tell me nothins going on
I can feel it down in my bones
You can say that everything's alright
But its me going for that walk alone

I don't want to hear your promises
I know the truth and you're lying
It's all over, all over, over but the crying

Go on and talk all you want baby
Just gonna sit right over here and listen
Just go ahead little girl
You've got my undivided attention
Oh, but i've been listening
To what you tell me with your eyes
Those blue, blue windows
Just can't disguise

Don't tell me nothins going on
I can feel it down in my bones
You can say that everything's alright
But it's me going for that walk alone
I don't want to hear your promises
I know the truth and you're lying
It's all over, all over but the cryin

You can laugh about it later
You can tell yourself it served me right
You've painted a picture i can't forget
You've laid it out in black and white

Don't tell me nothins going on
I can feel it down in my bones
You can say that everything's alright
But it's me going for that walk alone

I don't want to hear your cheap promises
I know the truth and you're lying
It's all over, all over
Over but the cryin
Over but the cryin
Over but the cryin
Over but the cryin


4.Shake That Thing

Well billy was hip with the time to tip
He said man you got to see her dance
The way she move to that funky groove
Put something restless in your pants
I ran down to miss kitty kat
You know the place i mean
For my ??? chiquita, all the from new orleans
She make you scream
The way she shake that thing
Put my heart on a string
The way she shake that thing

I layed eyes on a sweet chiquita
Boys i'll never be the same
She had that look can't be mistook
Nah the way she shook that frame
Made me holler mercy
Mercy don't do me no good
Girl give me such a hard time
Give me a case of wood
Oh those clothes she wore

The way she shake that thing
Put my heart on a string
The way she shake that thing

Kitty kat finally folded
When chiquita ran out on her own
Been a couple of years gone down
She took off for parts unknown
But every now & then, me & my one eyed friend
We remember yesterday
Take our advice, you want somethin' nice
She never comes your way, guarantee you'll say

The way she shake that thing
Put my heart on a string
The way she shake that thing


5.Games People Play

written:joe south
sung:rick price

Oh the games people play now
Every night and every day now
Never meaning what they say now
And never saying what they mean
While they walk away the hours
In their ivory towers
We threw a couple of flowers
In the back of a black limousine

La da la da da da da,
La da da da da de,
I'm a talkin' about you and me
And the games people play

You know we make one another cry
We break our hearts and we say goodbye
We cross our hearts and we hope to die
That the other was to blame
We need a woman that will give in
So we gaze at an 8x10
Wanderin' about the things
That might have been
And it's a dirty rotten shame

(repeat chorus)

Now wait a minute
They come walkin' up to ya
Singing glory haleuajah
Let me try to sock it to ya
In the name of the lord
They only show ya how to meditate
And to read your horoscope cheat your fate
Furthermore to hell with hate
C'mon and get on board

(repeat chorus)

Look around baby what'd you see
What's been happening to you and me
God granted it's serenity
Just to remember who i am
Cause you've given up your sanity
Your pride and your bounty
You turn your back on humanity
And you don't give a

(repeat chourus x2)


6.Another Chance

Livin' with my back against the wall
Nowhere but forward to fall
Well i close my eyes, somebody will catch my breath
Oh my lord let's get on board
The rides gonna scare me to death

I don't wanna leave before my time is done
Don't wanna stick around when my race is run
I don't wanna go before they call my dance
Don't wanna die asking for another chance

Come help me poor richard
And won't you help me raise the glass
Here's to me and here's to you
Them dreams all come to pass
Cruel trick of time, is played in the wink of an eye
Well heaven's above you don't need no shove
The years go sailing bye, oh

I don't wanna leave before my time is done
Don't wanna stick around when my race is run
I don't wanna go before they call my dance
Don't wanna die asking for another chance

Another game of chance
A lifetime come and gone
I guess it's up to me
If i don't want to say another man's song
I wanna say what grandma said, lying on her dying bed
I ain't been cheated, no mistreated, and i don't have to say
that yet, oh

I don't wanna leave before my time is done
Don't wanna stick around when my race is run
I don't wanna go before they call my dance
Don't wanna die asking for another chance
Another chance
No not another chance
No no another chance


7.Bring Down The Hammer

I'm gonna bring down the hammer, swing it righteous wrong or
right

Well i held on like a child to a dream ???
One thousand ???, just bought and sold
Seems like i carried a torch for nothing
I'm a fool with an empty crown
Even a fool woke up now there's a devil ahead
????

I've been living like a blind man, i've just seen the light
And i'm gonna bring down the hammer swing it righteous wrong or
right

And now you stole the promise, left without an answer why
But that's alright i'm damn sure ??? tonight
And i don't care what's coming next
I got answers in my head
Whatever's left by morning's likely where i'll make my stay

Well i've been living like a blind man
And i've just seen the light


8.Slaughterhouse

Wake up little darlin'
I got some news for you tonight
Wake up little darlin'
I got my mud boots on
And i'm ready to go

I'm workin' at the slaughterhouse
Well i'm workin at the slaughterhouse
Workin 9 to 5
Keepin' you alive
Workin' at the slaughterhouse

Bye bye little baby
Why do you have to bitch so much
Bye bye little baby
Five pounds of lead keep me way out of touch

(repeat chorus)

Bye bye little baby
Why do you have to bitch so much
Bye bye bye, bye bye baby
??????????

(repeat chorus)

Well i'm workin'
Yeah i'm workin'
Baby i'm workin'


9.Stellazine Blues

Pitiful and crying, talking to the wall
A friend of heres was crying, couldn't calm her down at all
And she needed a little comfort, you know what i mean

Oh, gotta gotta give me that stellazine
Oh, gotta gotta give me that stellazine

Well a knockdown dragout, knocked down on the floor
Doctor won't ya doctor won't ya, can't hold her no more
I swear that man was ??, doctor was me

I said who's that talking, talking to me
I don't care if i'm new darling stop it please
Riding in my ??, and it just don't get me there
What i need is ?? stronger, life just ain't fair
It's all wrong and getting wronger
And i need to get clean


10.Sweet Blue Midnight

we were talking about the future
But she never pretended to hear
Shine a light, sweet blue midnight
I don't care if you're insincere
I will believe for us both
I will believe if the dream falls down
Believe in nothing if that's what it takes
I hear an old familiar sound

(chorus)
Sweet blue midnight coming home again
Sweet blue midnight it's here i always come to
In the end, in the end

Oh it's late out here tonight
Later than you might know
Please hold me safe in your sweet arms
I've nowhere else to go
And i don't know what's to be
And i don't know what's to come
And i don't know i just don't know anymroe
Livin' on the run

(repeat chorus)

This dream makes a fool of us all
You know exactly what i mean
The light shines, falls where it will
And still some things can't be seen
Hold it close to me forever
Hold it close as my heart can stand
Close my eyes and just let it go
And try to be a kinder man

(repeat chorus)


11.Days Gone By

(ricks part)
Don't let this dream stop it feels so right
Nothing means nothing when the dark turns light
Let me wonder crazy and stumble back through the night
Head in the clouds with a hundred dollar bill
Nobody keeps score when it's time to kill
And i oughta know better i can never buy me a thrill

(chorus)
And the memory comes back to me
Bring me back to days gone by
And i can't pretend they'll come back again
And i know too much, way too much to ask why
You know i can't ask why

(dan's part)
Oh let it fall down and shine it's sweet light on me
As richards tells a story every word he says has set me free

(rick and dan)
Like a dream that's fading you can't catch when it's gone
Like a perfect night that's broken by dawn
Like everything you wanted out of reach from now on
Six out of seven still leaves you one shy
You can look forever and never know why
And it's time, it's time and the bottle just ran dry

(repeat chorus)


12.Dan Takes Five

Stuffed my heart in a bag slammed the back door
If i get home it'd be a home no more
Took off runnin in the middle of the night
I was aimed for anything that felt half right
Look out baby i'm gone a little ride
I see my name written on the center line
Moon looks good air is cool
Every bone been broken in the golden rule

Well i'm flyin through dothan with radio
Taylor's ole time opry's playin hank snow
Sing's my nightmares in his song
I say i'm with ya man i'm just movin on
Look out baby your wish came true
You got your freedom the house and the whole canoe
I got the thangs that i need
I took the car my pride and three pairs of jeans

My brain is bleedin got nails in my spine
But i ain't gonna stop 'fore that empty line
Radio's fadin road's like a snake
It's two in the mornin' and i'm wide awake
Look out baby gates of eden got closed
But new orlean's open see the pretty lights glow
I'm goin in to get myself lost and found
It didn't take too ___damn long to tear a good thing down

It may not be ideal
But at least we're not running at the mouth
I-10 to san antone
Woke up and went south
Fleeced at the border
For thirty five and some change
But that's a small price to pay
Runnin from the pain
Look out baby i'm gone a little ride
There's a brush fire on the highway
Gonna burn both side
Wish i could throw our sins
In the flame and smoke
I'll call you up if and when i reach hope


13.Six Years Gone

It's been forever and a day since i felt like this
Want a fifth of wild turkey and i wanna lip kiss
And i don't miss that girl
If i did i wouldn't let it show
I might go to the moon
Might wind up dead
Wake up in morning in a strangers bed
Well i'm not concerned with any of that no more

Six years gone
Water through my hands
Well you can blame it on me
Say i wasn't your kind of man

Well i'm in no mood to fight
No mood to bicker
Sittin' in the back seat
Drinkin' your liquor
And everything tonight suits me just fine
Well now that little girl beside me really knows my name
That i should say she loves me just the same
But i'm not about to say no when she offers me a ride

Six years gone
Water through my hands
Well you can blame it on me
Say i wasn't your kind of man

Six years gone
Water through my hands
Well you can blame it on me
Say i wasn't your kind of man
Yeah blame it on me
Say i wasn't your kind of man


14.Crazy

Your drivin' me crazy
Crazy as the night is long
And i would ride off east into the setting sun
If you said that's where i belong
Baby i'd go to rawalpindi
I'd go to istanbul
I'd be your camel driver
Baby i'd be your fool

Cause baby when you look at me
Oh it sets my heart on fire
And i'd run all around this whole wide world
If that was your true desire

I would ride bare back on a six foot monkey
Do it with grace and style
Just give me your attention
Baby just to see you smile
Well i'd wave every flag
You put in my hand
If you was in baghad
I'd cross the arab sand
Oscar wilde and rimbaud
Would have changed their minds if they
Knew what i know
Know the left from the right, right from wrong
You got me foaming at the mouth
And running naked through the streets of honk kong.

Your drivin' me crazy
Crazy as the night is long
And i would ride off east into the setting sun
If you said that's where i belong
Baby i'd go to rawalpindi
I'd go to istanbul
I'd be your camel driver
Baby i'd be your fool

Cause baby when you look at me
Oh it sets my heart on fire
And i'd run all around this whole wide world
If that was your true desire
Your drivin me crazy
Crazy
Crazy
Crazy as the night is long
