Driving Towards The Daylight

Joe Bonamassa Driving Towards The Daylight Lyrics
1.Dislocated Boy

Lyricist:Joe Bonamassa
Writer(s):Joe Bonamassa

I've been gone a long time
Lost in the seven seas.
Sail on, don't you come back
Until you learn the birds and the bees.
Who will you find waiting for you,
Squeeze blood into wine.
Left to call my preacher
And my very lovely wife.

I said, hey now, knocked down, why'd you do it,
Roll me like a hurricane.
All is a bust and I'm numb, like novocaine.
Who done it, what's up, you said,
Sell me out why don't you boy,
I'm alone, severely broken,
I'm a dislocated boy.

I have thought to rise my dictions
And I've suffocated my pride.
(Be)fore you and I embarked on
One hell of a ride.
Boy, I've had these blues
Since I been six years old.
But tell me don't you worry
(A)bout my very heavy load.

And I said, knock down, drag out, bar fight,
Knuckles on the floor. and there's shattered glass,
And one hell of a scar.
Broke down and hungry, you said so.
Sell me out, why don't you boy,
I'm alone, severely broken,
I'm a dislocated boy.


All I need is my old guitar,
And I'll play you the best damn blues.
Heavy affections, and I hate to lose.
Thirty-five years ago,
I was born on Robert Johnson's.
It's all been for you baby.
I'm gonna make it back someday.

I said, hey now, knocked down, why'd you do it,
Roll me like a hurricane.
All is a bust and I'm numb, like novocaine.
Who done it, what's up, you said,
Sell me out why don't you boy,
I'm alone, severely broken,
I'm a dislocated boy.

So tell me about your working class hero, baby
Tell me 'bout your
Mine was born in Mississippi, 'round 1923.
Blue collar flannel shirts
Was my Father's way.
Worked in a factory,
'Til his dying day.

And I said, knock down, drag out, bar fight,
Knuckles on the floor. and there's shattered glass,
And one hell of a scar.
Broke down and hungry, you said so.
Sell me out, why don't you boy,
I'm alone, severely broken,
I'm a dislocated boy.


2.Stones In My Passway

Lyricist:Robert Johnson
Writer(s):Robert Johnson

I got stones in my passway, and my road seem dark as night
I got stones in my passway, and my road seem dark as night
I have pains in my heart, they have taken my appetite
I have a bird to whistle, and I have a bird to sing
Have a bird to whistle, and I have a bird to sing
I got a woman that I'm lovin', boy, but she don't mean a thing
My enemies have betrayed me, have overtaken poor Bob at last
My enemies have betrayed me, have overtaken poor Bob at last
And there's one thing certainly, they have stones all in my pass

Now you tryin' to take my life, and all my lovin' too
You laid a passway for me, now what are you trying to do?
I'm cryin' please, please let us be friends
And when you hear me howlin' in my passway, rider, please open
your door and let me in
I got three lane's to truck home, boys, please don't block my
road
I got three lane's to truck home, boys, please don't block my
road
I've been feelin' ashamed 'bout my rider, babe, I'm booked and I
got to go.


3.Driving Towards The Daylight

Lyricist:Joe Bonamassa & Daniel Kortchmar
Writer(s):Joe Bonamassa & Daniel Kortchmar

Look upon a mountain,
waitin' on a train.
Baby I know what's wrong,
and it's still happening.
Waiting on my destiny,
learning from my abilities.
Who was wrong and
who was right and
do we even know why we are fighting?
So take your eyes off of me
and look upon the churning sea.

Driving towards the daylight,
running from the midnight,
trying to get my way home.
Running from the spotlight,
trying to find the daylight,
trying to get back home.

Rusty strings on my old guitar,
speaks volumes of who you are.
So never did I think it was you
It was me, one of the chosen few
Who will it be, oh the next time?
Hopefully one with more sense of mind.
So where did you go?
Always will see,
it's a story of you and me.

Driving towards the daylight,
running from the midnight,
trying to get my way home.
Running from the spotlight,
trying to find the daylight,
trying to get back home.

Driving towards the daylight,
running from the midnight,
trying to get my way home.
Running from the spotlight,
trying to find the daylight,
trying to get my way home.

Driving towards the daylight,
running from that midnight,
trying to get my way home.
Running from the spotlight,
trying to find the daylight,
trying to get my way home.

Lyricist:Howlin' Wolf
Writer(s):Howlin' Wolf

My baby caught the train, left me all alone

She knows I love her, she doin' me wrong
My baby bought the ticket, long as her right arm
My baby bought the ticket, long as my right arm
She says she's gonna ride, long as I been from home
Well who been talking, everything that I do
Well who been talking, everything that I do
Well you is my baby, I hate to lose
Well good bye baby, hate to see you go
Well good bye baby, hate to see you go
You know I love you, I'm the causin of it all

I'm the causin' of it all.

6.A Place In My Heart

Lyricist:Bernie Marsden
Writer(s):Bernie Marsden

Sometimes I wonder what am I gonna do
Sometimes I'm afraid now darling
I still look around for you
No matter who you are
No matter what you do
There's a place in my heart, for you
Here all along,
Sitting here with my boots
Alone cold and scared now baby
Whoa, I've been missing you
All the time I've been thinking
Everything we've been through
There's a place in my heart for you

Yes and I wonder, do you know how I feel baby
Believe me when I tell you now darling
This here is for real
Oh it's time for me to start over
Go and get something new
I'm so lost without you baby
I don't know what to do

Sometimes I wonder what am I gonna do
Sometimes I'm afraid now darling
I still look around for you
No matter who you are
No matter what you do
There's a place in my heart, for you

I've seen trouble come,
All the tears I've cried
Trouble coming baby
But time's on my side
There's a place in my heart, for you


7.Lonely Town Lonely Street

Lyricist:Bill Withers
Writer(s):Bill Withers

You can live your life in a crowded city
You can walk along a crowded street
But the city really ain't no bigger than the friendly people
Friendly people that you meet
You might be a sweet young, sweet young pretty, pretty
And the dances you can't keep your seat
But, if dances don't lead to romances
You might as well be born, born with two left feet

You might be a sweet-toned sure enough high-class talker
You might be a stone, stone expert at kissing
But it don't do much good to be talking
Brother, when there ain't no, ain't nobody listenin
And if you are shy, just not much of a talker
Don't impress the people that you meet
You might as well be a lonely walker in a lonely town, on a
lonely street

9.New Coat Of Paint

Lyricist:Tom Waits
Writer(s):Tom Waits

Let's put a new coat of paint
On this lonesome old town
Set 'em up, we'll be knockin' 'em down

You wear a dress
Baby I'll a tie
We'll laugh at that old bloodshot moon
In that burgundy sky
All our scribbled love dreams are lost or thrown away
Here amidst the shuffle of an overflowin' day
Our love needs a transfusion let's shoot it full of wine>
Fishin' for a good time starts with throwin' in your line.

So let's put a new coat of paint
On this lonesome old town
Set em' up, set em' up we'll be knockin' 'em down
You wear a dress baby
I'll wear a tie
We'll laugh at that old bloodshot moon
In that burgundy sky


10.Somewhere Trouble Don't Go

Lyricist:Joe Bonamassa
Writer(s):Joe Bonamassa

Devil had a daughter
took me to the water
tried to kill me with a kiss
She said hey now honey, what about the money
I said ain't got time for this

She said baby won't you come inside
I said sorry I got to ride
sorry but I got to ride

If you don't move you'll end up dead
sleeping in the devil's bed
sleeping in the devil's bed

Take me, take me somewhere trouble don't go
Take me, take me somewhere trouble don't know

Devil had a daughter
took me to the water
tried to kill me with a kiss
She said hey now honey, what about the money
I said ain't got time for this
no I got no time yeah

Baby wants to drive my car
but she wants to go too far
but she wants to go too far

First comes love and then it's so fine
but then comes heartache right behind
heartache comes right behind

Take me, take me somewhere trouble don't go
Take me, take me somewhere trouble don't know

Devil had a daughter
took me to the water
tried to kill me with a kiss
hey now honey, what about the money
I said ain't got time for this
no I got no time yeah
Not for you anymore

Take me, take me somewhere trouble don't go
Take me, take me somewhere trouble don't know
Take me, take me somewhere trouble don't go
Take me, take me somewhere trouble don't know

Devil had a daughter
took me to the water
tried to kill me with a kiss
Take me back home
hey now honey, what about the money
I said ain't got time for this
no I got no time yeah

Devil had a daughter
took me to the water
tried to kill me with a kiss
Take me home
hey now honey, what about the money
I said ain't got time for this

Brock

You walked in my life
with an angel smile
how could I have known
hunger locked inside
we can start a fire but we can't control the flame
and I just can't wait to feel the heat again
in the middle of the night

She cried too much ain't enough love
to satisfy me, yeah
I said too much ain't enough love to satisfy me

Well it just seems like yesterday
I was running alone
and I turned my back on love
but baby I was wrong
do I miss your touch or tell myself a lie
and I can't get enough when I'm lying by your side
in the middle of the night

She cried too much ain't enough love
to satisfy me, yeah
too much ain't enough love to satisfy me
I got a burning heart baby

Do I miss your touch or tell myself a lie
and I can't get enough when I'm right here by your side
in the middle of the night

She cried too much ain't enough love to satisfy me, well
I said too much ain't enough love to satisfy me
I got a burning heart baby
too much ain't enough love to satisfy me
where there's smoke there's fire baby
too much ain't enough love to satisfy me hey hey hey

I said too too much ain't enough love
(too much ain't enough) yeah, to satisfy me
I said too much
Oh I said too much
too too much, I said too much
well angel child baby
you walked in my life
with an angel smile
I cannot stop, I can't go baby
A hunger locked inside
I said too much ain't enough
too much ain't enough love to satisfy me
