1. School Of Lost Salvation
JBR
My School of Lost Salvation
Rust and wreckage and mechanical breakdowns
I was a child I kicked around here before
Had my inspirations
Birdie with a crooked bill, hopped upon my windowsill
He said I ain’t in the business of back talkin
Kid you listen good, it’s the truth, it's the old man walkin
He said "don’t talk to me about strangers"
Hey, hey
Don’t play it in my road
Hey, hey
The scene of the crime’s closed
Hey, hey
No secrets that I’ve told
Bad seeds in 1950
The devil came to south Cincinnati
Into a man at Lost Salvation
Into a wall, a cold foundation
Birdie with a crooked bill laughing at my windowsill
He said "when hear the horse inside my head
Better listen well, you can tell, here’s what the old man said
No need for you to fight boys"
Chorus
My School of Lost Salvation
Hand of crimson, the harvester greets you
Eyes of a child rising like an Autumn moon
Plans his retribution
Secret stealing by degrees, dissonance to harmony
Now he ain't in the business of bone creepin
Kid he listened well, you can tell, now the old man's sleepin
Reapin the seeds that he sewed
Chorus
2. Havana Woman
JBR/Vaughan/Gnant
Wish upon a silver nickel,
wish upon a dime,
Wishing well, is loving her a waste of time?
Oh I love when she’s dirty, love her when she’s clean
That Havana woman gets the best of me
They say white wine makes
you cool, red wine makes you sin
I don’t know which bottle to be openin’
Some will preach you only gospel, some will sing the blues
Loving her’s a waste of time, but I got time to lose
Choose a diamond baby, pick
a place to fly
Parked beside the ocean on a midnight drive
Please Havana woman don’t make indigo my mood
I’ve got moonlight, I’ve got starlight, I need you
Oh Havana Woman
Oh Havana Woman
Oh Havana Woman
Oh Havana Woman
Took a gamble at the table
when I asked her name
Should have known Havana women always play that game
Love her fashion, love her music, love her ‘cause it’s wrong
I wouldn’t recommend to you the road I’m on
3. Under The Orange Tree
JBR
Under the orange tree, I
hide out from the sun
Under the orange tree, I had myself some fun
Under the orange tree, that’s where I hid the gun
That I used to lay Alexandra down
Oo it’s a shame on, Oo oo
it’s a shame on me
Oo it’s a shame on, Oo oo it’s a shame on me
Under the orange tree, I
tried a piece of fruit
Under the orange tree, I had myself a hoot
Under the orange tree, that’s where I hid the loot
That I made when I laid Alexandra down
Oo it’s a shame on, Oo oo
it’s a shame on me
Oo it’s a shame on, Oo oo it’s a shame on me
Under the orange tree, with
my back up against the wall
Under the orange tree, Goin’ in for the long haul
Under the orange tree, (no) I didn’t have a prayer at all - I took the fall
For layin’ Alexandra down (yeah)
Yo! That’s what I say.
Oo it’s a shame on, Oo oo
it’s a shame on me
Oo it’s a shame on, Oo oo it’s a shame on me
4. Two Wolves
JBR
So quiet I could hear the
bottles pour
In the homes way down on the canyon floor
Of all the gin joints in all the world, you had to walk into mine
Waiting for some planets to align
Two wolves in my head
One as white as snow, the other black with eyes of red
Which one’s a killer?
Which one do you believe?
Which one wins the fight is...the one I choose to feed
I know a girl with diamonds
in her eyes
What kind of fool would make her want to cry?
Do we make confessions here? Or do we let it go?
Love is more twisted than a grapevine – this I know
Two wolves in my brain
One out in the light, one under a cloud of rain
Which one’s a killer?
Which one do you believe?
Which one wins the fight is...the one I choose to feed
Will you share your present
memorandum?
I promise that your notion’s safe with me
A castaway has pain that’s out of reach
You have pain you conceal wonderfully
Two wolves in my head
One as white as snow, the other black with eyes of red
Which one’s a killer?
Which one do you believe?
Which one wins the fight is...the one I choose to feed
5. Hit The Deck
JBR/Vaughan
Hit the deck
Save your neck
Here comes something that you don't expect
In demand
It's second hand
Trouble won't leave me alone man
I know I'll live to see
another day
When I hit the deck everything blows away
Bad news
Killers on the loose
Can't have it all so you got's to choose
I don't believe
All I see
Trouble coming down hard on me
I know I'll live to see
another day
When I hit the Deck everything blows away
Hit The Deck
Hit The Deck
Hit The Deck
Hit the deck
Damn what's next
You hand me something that I can't respect
I must admit
I wanna quit
I put my finger on what doesn't fit
I know I'll live to see
another day
When I hit the Deck everything blows away
Hit The Deck
Hit The Deck
Hit The Deck
6. World's Smallest
Violin
JBR
Move like the night, try to
stay inside the shadows
You take your steps, a foot at a time, and keep your head low
The Aces have grounded their planes, Sweet Mary boards the last train
She can see that your patience is thin
With a game that’s too tough to win
I’ve let her get under my skin
She has the world’s smallest violin
You can feel them around
you, surrounded by laughter and drinking
But you’re not really there, you’re wondering what she is thinking
Those people who follow the trends, are the reason that you don’t attend
With pieces of cake in your grin
And your soda spiked with gin
Say a toast before you give in
To the world’s smallest violin
In a room up the stairs the
ladies discuss what else is out there
But don’t use their names, someone may be down in the square
Jane has now picked up the phone, Joe has now put down his stone
The underdogs have taken the win
Much stronger than they’ve ever been
So excuse them for their barging in
They have the world’s smallest violin
Turn your eyes to the stage,
there’s a singer who shines like a jewel
A strange thing she carries a ball and a chain of fools
Those people with money and fame, are exactly the people to blame
They can sit by the fire and spin
I’ll pull the firing pin
Now guess who’s on top of the mountain?
With the world’s smallest violin
7. (A Whole Lot More)
Cash Down
Jesse Katzman/Jack Riedel
Dude where are you goin'
What seems to be the rush
I'd like to have a word or two with you
About the time that you slapped down
About the time that you slapped like cash down
About the time that you slapped like cold cash down
I'm all tsss
And you go pfff
Didn't we used to tak a whole lot more
Do do do doot doot doo
8. Telling Time
Riedel/Katzman
(Verse 1: Jesse)
Time can heal as time it flows
Time has answers only heaven knows
It goes…
Time can pass you, time can
stall
If your heart was broken like a billiard ball
Recall…
(Chorus: Jesse, Randy, Jack)
Open light still shining through yo your shady road
Tell you time is just like a bomb waiting to explode
(Verse 2: Randy)
Time in capsules, time in hand
Time can slip away when you’re in demand
Quicksand…
While you’re sleeping in the
bed you made
Time can draw out like a shiny blade
Touche’…
Chorus
(Verse 3: Jack)
I’ve heard of heroes, some they fall
The heroes I know stand ten stories tall
Install…
It’s time to borrow if it’s
time you need
Time alone will tell you, it’s guaranteed
Proceed…
9. Give Love
2002
Instrumental
10. Push My Heart
Cosmano/Riedel
Did you feel the distance
When you pushed my heart away
Did you ever mean what you didn't say
Oh so many questions
Are crowding my mind
Got so many memories I just can't leave behind
How can I begin again when I
just can't find the end
Can anybody tell me what went wrong
How can I begin again when I just can't find the end
Pretender, I think you knew it all along
So our love came and went
And crazy ways are evident
I'm just catching a star like 9 to 5 in L.A.
Now I've got my guitar
And now I've got my song
I won't stay down, down like Monterey
Chorus
Sometimes we gotta go back
to move on
Sometimes we stay and sometimes we don't
I'ts just a chance we take to find the choices we all need to make
Chorus
11. Zero
Jack Brian Riedel
And the children say…
Zero thank you for making me smile
Zero I haven’t heard a fairy tale in a long while
Would you bring me back to the cradle
Cuff the hands of time if your able
And…
Maybe I wanna be just like you
Maybe I wanna be just like you
Zero whenever you’re lost
and low
Zero the phonograph seems to slow when you whisper
Tiny faces lost in laughter
The rumor spread the morning after
That you left town, but this time you left for good
12. Seven Spanish Angels
Ray Price & Willie
Nelson
He looked down into the
brown eyes
And said "Say a prayer for me"
And she threw her arms around him
Whispered "God will keep us free"
They could hear the riders
coming
He said "This is my last fight,
"If they take me back to Texas,
"They won't take me back alive"
There were seven Spanish
angels
At the altar of the Sun
They were praying for the lovers
In the Valley of the Gun
When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared
There was thunder from the throne
And seven Spanish angels
Took another angel home
She reached down and picked
the gun up
That lay smoking in his hand
She said "Father please forgive me,
"I can't make it without my man"
And she knew the gun was
empty
And she knew she couldn't win
But her final prayer was answered
When the rifles fired again
There were seven Spanish
angels
At the altar of the Sun
They were praying for the lovers
In the Valley of the Gun
When the battle stopped and the smoke cleared
There was thunder from the throne
And seven Spanish angels
Took another angel home
