Riverboat - On The Lam album lyrics

Riverboat

Packin' my things I need to leave today, it seems I've worn my welcome out
Packin' my things I need to leave today and drift on a riverboat across a current of time
'Cause I found a hole there in my bag of tricks and everything has fallen out
Yeah I found a hole there in my bag of tricks and now I drift on a riverboat across a current of time

You know I need to get away yeah, I'd really love to get away yeah oh yeah
I've got troubles comin' down, you know I got loads of trouble coming down, yeah

And as I drift across the old state, I bid farewell to my ill past
Driftin' along across the ol' state line and I'm alone on my riverboat crossing currents of time
I'm alone on my riverboat crossing currents of time
I'm alone on my riverboat

Weary Head

I fear a breaking point is getting close at hand, we work our asses off to satisfy the man
Where are the little things to help us through our day, just counting down the clock until its five then we run away

It's good to be home, Lord knows I couldn't take much more
It's good to be home, and kick my shoes off on to the floor
It's good to be home

Still stuck in traffic and the rain is no surprise, some of these people won't be getting home alive
I smoke my cigarette and I ash it in the tray, hoping that soon we will pick up the pace I'd like to get there today

It's good to be home, Lord knows I couldn't take much more
It's good to be home, and kick my shoes off on to the floor
It's good to be home, Lord knows I couldn't take much more
It's good to be home, and kick my shoes off on to the floor
It's good to be home

Waves of exhaustion rolling over as I rest my weary head and kick my feet up on the coffee table

It's good to be home, and kick my shoes off on to the floor
It's good to be home, Lord knows I couldn't take much more
It's good to be home, and kick my shoes off on to the floor
It's good to be home, you know that it's good to be home

El Rio del Tequila

Pronts mi amigo que el gusano girara
Debemos haber parado mucho tiempo hace
Un rio del tequila nos ha barrido lejos
Cuan Hagalo lejos nos toma cuan deba lejos vamos

Into the Sun

All the townsfolk were just beginning to celebrate when the thunder of horses shook the ground
Bullets sang through the air while bandits stole the bride to be and then proceeded to burn the village down
And as they rode off into the sun they swore that one day they would return thus striking fear in the hearts of la villa Amore

Acting quickly her romeo took off after them and tracked the bandits across the dusty plains
Heavy walls of a chapel was where they were hiding her so he crept inside as it began to rain
And as the clouds covered up the sun he knew that blood would have to be shed to bring the girl of his dreams back to la villa Amore
Yeah yeah yeah, to bring the girl of his dreams back to la villa Amore, villa Amore

Another day was coming to end in the little town and most of the locals had started losing hope
Just then the couple came riding they swore there'd be no more fighting and everyone ran out to greet them home
And as the night covered up the sun they know that they were finally safe and everybody rejoiced in the la villa Amore
Yeah yeah yeah, and everybody felt safe in the la villa Amore
Yeah yeah yeah, and everybody felt fine in the la villa Amore

Stumble

Was it too cruel? Was it unkind? Did I share too much of what was on my mind?
It may be hard but it's true and I'm sure that it's something we both knew

Making no sense and so it must be that you were never really happy with me
So I'm getting drunk, a little stoned then I'll stumble back home again

Maybe it's the things you say like you don't love me anymore
Maybe it's the things you say that keep me from coming through the door

You should move on I'm done with the chase and I'm heading down to my favorite place
Where I can get drunk, and a little stoned and then I'll stumble my way back home again
Seems to help my broken heart to mend when I get drunk, a little stoned and then stumble back home again

Maybe it's the things you say like you don't love me anymore
Maybe it's the things you say that keep me from coming through the door

This is the end this is goodbye you know I'd like to be your friend but I know you won't try
So I'm getting drunk, a little stoned and then I'll stumble back home again
Going to hang out and party with my friends
Yes were all getting drunk, a little stoned and then I'll stumble back home again
Yes, home again, I'll stumble back home again

Next to Me

Imagine when all is so plain, someone who dears the mundane, like sunshine on a dark and rainy day
A Venus in the rubble is bound to cause me trouble, but I wouldn't want it any other way

No it's no good, just doesn't feel right
I guess I'll go back home and try some other night
Oh tell me please oh why is it when I go and close my eyes that all I dream of is her next to me?
So tell me please oh why is it when I go and put my arms out that all I dream of is her next to me?

Works hard at being lazy, wise and a little crazy, a credit to her own philosophy
Some new adventures are in store, with looks that drop you to the floor, dreaming of the possibilities

No it's no good, just doesn't feel right
I guess I'll go back home and try some other night
Oh tell me please oh why is it when I go and put my arms out that all I dream of is her next to me?
So tell me please oh why is it when I go and put my arms out that all I dream of is her next to me?

Oh next to me, oh it's no good, just doesn't feel right, guess I'll go home
Oh so tell me please oh why is it when I go and put my arms out that all I dream of is her next to me?
So tell me please oh why is it when I go and put my arms out all I dream of is her next to me?

Ol' Man Worry

Ol' man worry is leaving today, don't know why he would leave but he's going away
Yeah his bags are all packed sitting right by the door, better take a good look he won't be here no more
And by the way, he had something he wanted to say, but it seems to have slipped his mind
Perhaps the old man will remember with time

Ol' man sorry is splitting today, yeah he heard worry left as he's running away
He asks what's there to keep me from using the door, when I know that I don't have to worry no more
Wow what a day when compassion goes running away, when we just don't have the time
And by the way there was something I wanted to say but it seems to have slipped my mind at least this time

Hey you're so quick just to blow us all off until you need a helping hand, why save you, you won't save me/
Yeah by the way there was something I hoped you would say just to help me ease my mind
I guess I expected way too much at this time
Yeah I guess I expected way too much at this time

New Way Home

You know I found a new way home though I won't be taking it, all it seems to be is hurt me like before
I'd rather lose fingers in a blender than have to go and walk back through your door
You know I found a new way home though I won't be taking it I need to find myself another place to stay
Sometimes that price we pay for loving someone is just to high to pay another day

You're naggin is as constant at the stars but you're not quite as far away
And I know you're happy where you are so I'll find somewhere new to stay

Well yesterday's come but still I've not traveled no the motivation seems to have escaped
I called my friends and we formed a rescue party we hope to have it back before it gets too late

You're naggin is as constant at the stars but you're not quite as far away
And I know you're happy where you are so I'll find somewhere new to stay

Just let me get my shit in the car and I'll speed so swiftly far away
Down the open road that is tomorrow in search of somewhere new to stay

And I'm moving on down the road, yes I'm moving on down the road
I'm moving, I'm moving on down the road, I'm moving on down that road

A Thought

Who we are, how to define
We were always on our own, oh yeah
Wonder where we are?
Who we are, oh God no
Perhaps one day we might know, oh yeah
Wonder where we are?
