1.In My Time Of Need
will you comfort me in my time of need
can you take away the pain of a hurtful deeds
cause when we need it most there no rain at all
and the dust just settles right there on the feed
will you say to me a little rains gonna come
when the sky can offer none to me
cause i will come for you
when my days are through
and i l let your smile just off and carry me
cause when the calm comes down
i take the truck on into town
and buy whatever we can seem to grow
i work these hands to bleed cause i got mouths to feed
and i got 15 dollars hid above the stove
will you say to me a little rains gonna come
when the sky can offer none to me
cause i will come for you
when my days are through
and i l let your smile just off and carry me
cause it ain like it was on back in those days
when everyone would offer up a hand
these old bones are worn
i e grown tired some
and i know my time is surely gonna come
will you comfort me in my time of need
can you take away the pain of hurtful deeds
cause i will comfort you when my days are through
and i l let your smile just off and carry me
lord we married young and stayed where we came from
and gave those children everything we had
will you stay with me in my time of need
though it seems we had such little time for us
will you say to me a little rains gonna come
when the sky can offer none to me
cause i will come for you
when my days are through
and i l let your smile just off and carry me
2.Oh My Sweet Carolina
i went down to houston
and i stopped in san antone
i passed up the station for the bus
i was trying to find me something
but i wasn sure just what
man i ended up with pockets full of dust
so i went on to cleveland and i ended up insane
i bought a borrowed suit and learned to dance
i was spending money like the way it likes to rain
man i ended up with pockets full of cane
oh my sweet carolina
what compels me to go
oh my sweet disposition
may you one day carry me home
i ain never been to vegas but i gambled up my life
building newsprint boats i race to sewer mains
was trying to find me something but i wasn sure just what
funny how they say that some things never change
oh my sweet carolina
what compels me to go
oh my sweet disposition
may you one day carry me home
up here in the city feels like things are closing in
the sunset just my light bulb burning out
i miss kentucky and i miss my family
all the sweetest winds they blow across the south
oh my sweet carolina
what compels me to go
oh my sweet disposition
may you one day carry me home
may you one day carry me home
3.Don Ask For The Water
i hate this old place
and what it represents
and i hate who i was
and who i ended up since
but if you learned how to swim in case you drowned
don ask her for the water
cause she l swallow you down
and she ten miles of peace
and the hardest of nights
and her belfry got arch
but her rooftops all right
but down here in the sewer
i smelling a rat
don ask her for the whiskey
cause her waters all that
and what horses we rode
through what somber fields
with our lovers at war
and the dust on their heels
and the infidels screamed it all but a lie
don ask her for the water
cause she l teach you to cry
don ask her for the water
cause she l teach you to cry
and her weapon of choice is a red patterned dress
and a sac full of stones
with her hands on her chest
and a book full of quotes
and a tight fastened lip
don ask her for the water
cause you l sink like a ship
don ask her for the water
cause you l sink like a ship
4.Come Pick Me Up

18.Don't Ask For The Water
I hate this old place
What it represents
And i hate who i was
Who i ended up since
If you learn how to swim
Just in case you drown
Don't ask her for the water
Cause she'll swallow you down
It's just 10 miles a piece
And the hardest of nights
And her bellfries got arch
But her rooftops alright
Down here in the sewer
I'm smellin a rat
Don't ask her for the whiskey
Cause the water's all that
And what horses we rode
Through what somber fields
With our lovers at war
And the dust on our heels
And the infidels screamed
It's all been a lie
Don't ask her for the water
Cause she'll teach to cry
Don't ask her for the water
Cause she'll teach to cry
And her weapon of choice
Is a red pattern dress
And a sack full of stones
With her hands on her chest
And a book full of quotes
And a tight fastened lip
Don't ask her for the water
Cause you'll sink like a ship
Don't ask her for the water
Cause you'll sink like a ship.
19.Sweet Lil Gal
Fair haired gal
You got a sister that's mean

In the field where my plane went down
In the field where my plane went down
Sweet lil gal
Sweet lil gal
Everything's go when she comes to me
Lay there for days
On the floor with my things
When you're lonely
She makes you feel nice
When you're lonely
She makes you feel nice
Steals my shirt
23rd and 1st
In the field where my plane went down
In the field where my plane went down
Sweet lil gal
