Track Lyrics
Get Your Ribbons On Lyrics
[Chorus]
Get your ribbons on, honey
Get your ribbons on
We're going to stomp, honey, all night long
[Verse 1]
I don't want your Rothschild ways
I don't want to be brand spanking new
And if I said good-bye to the things I've known
I would never even say to you
[Chorus]
You got to get your ribbons on, honey
You got to get your ribbons on
We're going to stomp, honey, all night long
[Verse 2]
My best girlfriend, Angela
Last week up and joined the football team
And as I wiped my feet out in the vestibule
Mommy, daddy, sister all come clean
I told them got to get your ribbons on
Guns, Guns, Guns Lyrics
[Verse 1]
American hunter, bring them up the north side
(Guns, guns, guns)
Run, take the money, here's a bullet for your boyfriend
(Guns, guns, guns)
Eagle all gone, and no more caribou
(Guns, guns, guns)
You be the red king, I'll be the yellow pawn
[Chorus]
Godspeed, Mother Nature
Never really wanted to say goodbye
Godspeed, Mother Nature, you know that I'm calling you, darling
Never really wanted to say goodbye
Godspeed, Mother Nature
Never really wanted to say goodbye
Godspeed, Mother Nature
Never really wanted to say goodbye
[Verse 2]
Shoot a few, knock them down, cost you half a buck now
(Guns, guns, guns)
Babe give you kisses if you hit a rubber duck now
(Guns, guns, guns)
You be the red king, I'll be the yellow pawn
(Guns, guns, guns)
Eagle all gone, and no more caribou
(Guns, guns, guns)
Eagle all gone, and no more caribou
(Guns, guns, guns)
No more, eagle all gone, and no more caribou
[Chorus]
Godspeed, Mother Nature
Never really wanted to say goodbye
Godspeed, Mother Nature, I'm weeping, I'm crying for you
Never really wanted to say goodbye
Godspeed, Mother Nature, you know that I'm weeping for you
Never really wanted to say goodbye
Godspeed, Mother Nature, and I'm crying
Never really wanted to say goodbye
[Outro]
I know you're going to hear me, I'm weeping, nature
Weeping, Mother Nature
Never really wanted to say goodbye
And I'm weeping for you
Weeping for you, Mother Nature
And I'm crying for you
Never really wanted to say goodbye
Take care and visit me, Mother, Mother Nature
And I'm missing you
Never really wanted to say goodbye
Where have you gone?
Godspeed, Mother Nature, and I'm weeping for you
Running Bear Lyrics
[Verse 1]
On the banks of the river
Stood Running Bear, young Indian brave
On the other side of the river
Stood his lovely Indian maid
Little White Dove was-a her name
Such a lovely sight to see
But their tribes fought with each other
So their love could never be
[Chorus]
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love big as the sky
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love that couldn't die
[Verse 2]
He couldn't swim the raging river
Because the river was too wide
He couldn't reach Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
In the moonlight he could see her
Throwing kisses across the waves
Her little heart was beating faster
Waiting there for her brave
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
Running Bear dove in the water
Little White Dove did the same
And they swam out to each other
Through the swirling stream they came
As their hands touched and their lips met
The raginf river pulled them down
Now they'll always be together
In that happy hunting ground
[Chorus]
Back to the City Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Beware of lies
They'll always take you by surprise
Bringing pieces of pain
You'll maybe never sleep again
Me and sailor working on a secret relation
Down in the soda sunlight
Picked up on a jug and my calendar sweetheart
And we were rocking lightly
[Chorus]
We really got to rocking lightly
Deep, deep down that's where I belong
Sweet street light never done me no wrong
I'm going back, back, back to the city
[Verse 2]
So beware of man
He'll never tell you where you stand
Bringing pieces of pain
You'll maybe never sleep again
Tinker, tailor, sailor, mailer
Bows and buttons
Thank you all for reason
Meet me in the alley where the road gets dark
[Chorus]
And we'll be rocking lightly
Deep, deep down that's where I belong
Sweet street light never done me no wrong
I'm going back, back, back to the city
Your Nashville Sneakers Lyrics
[Verse]
I like your suspenders
I get it on for your jeans
But your Nashville sneakers always drag me down, down, down, down
I dig your blue Cougar
And your bona fide keys
But your Nashville sneakers always drag me down, down, down, down
One by one, the sneakers they will fade, dear
Left out in the sun to dry
Sketching shots of good dates that we've played, dear
Never to be forgotten but remembered
Hi, Rockers! Lyrics
[Verse]
Heaven only moved once yesterday
Before the moon and stars were born
Angels making love
And all along the coast of fear
Devil come screaming and tear them down
Heaven only moved once yesterday
In a neon jungle far below
Bargain basement prayer
A mother mourns her dying child
Never people taking the time to care
Heaven only moved once yesterday
Half the time they're trying to take them away
Everybody once we knew
Pay a dollar at the gate
A dead man gonna be coming on through
Heaven only moved once yesterday
Don't you want me
Don't you want me
Baby, listen indeed I do
Tell me loving things and the sounds I crave
Never let the chance roll by
But you'll be hanging from a sycamore tree
If you're dancing with another guy
Well, don't you want me
Don't you want me
Baby, listen indeed I do
I'll kill your kid sister
I'll murder your dad
I'll rip the lashes off your eye
I'll slaughter all your cattle and I'll burn your crops
If you're dancing with another guy
Don't you want me
Don't you want me
Baby, listen indeed I do
