I wrote my letter in the middle of the night
I left it on my pillow, I hope she doesn't cry
I said I was sorry for going away,
I still LOVE her, but I just couldn't stay
Lover dear please understand,
you fell in love with a rambling man
Maybe you'll see me one of these days
walking the train tracks in the rain
I've held that knife up to my throat cos'
I didn't want to see you cry
Highways and romance
keep stabbing my mind
seduce me to that wandering life
I'm a vagabond sailor born to love and leave
I've got my heart inked on my sleeve
I hold dear every single memory,
haunted by the way things used to be
Gypsy body and blood got the best of me
I'm moving on across the sea
Don't need no money, don't need much at all
But on a moonlit night you'll hear me call
Lover dear, please understand you fell
in love with a rambling man
Maybe you'll see me one of these days
walking the train tracks in the rain

Have a seat here lady, and let me tell you in your ear 2x
I think you should know,but I don't think you'll like what you hear
Your boyfriend man he's doing alright 2x
And it ain't another woman that's keeping him up all night
Your boy loves the blues (Your boy loves the blues) 4x
He loves the rhythm and the soul, and to wear out his new dancing shoes
I told my friend, "Brother don't you worry so." 2x
Your sweet girl ain't meeting up with no mysterious Joe
He said, "Listen Wei, man are you sure?" 2x
I says, "Listen man, go with her tonight, you'll get your cure"
Your girl loves the blues (Your girl loves the blues) 4x
She loves the rhythm and the soul and to wear out her new dancing shoes
You know I dig it all, but there's one thang' that I choose
It bites my soul and shakes all my bones loose
It ain't that I feel down, it's just that I pick up on the blues
You know WE got the blues (You know we got the blues)
We love the rhythm and the soul and to wear out are new dancing shoes

Where I'm going I don't need no shoes
I'm going down south to the home of the blues
Bayou country is down the line
and when I get to where I want,
I'll drink a quart of moonshine
Hey there baby wanna' come along?
I've got a little money, I won't do you no wrong
I don't want to be in the city no more
The day to day routine's worse than the killing floor
So, I said goodbye to everyone I knew
I says I'm going south to the home of the blues
In Bogalusa there's a girl I know
I gots to find her phone number so I know where to go
Going down the river is something else
Going down the river all by myself
Going down the river underneath the stars
I never knew going south would be this far,
down the river
Off the bayou
Down on the river
In the middle of the swamp
Two miles from the road

Two sides to every story, don't just believe the ones you want to hear
Two sides to every story don't just believe the ones you want to hear
You'll send an innocent to county, and a guilty man to live out free years
Yes I'm as much of a saint as a sinner, there' s no point in arguing that
But, if there's something that I done, well, that's that, it's a fact
Caught this rat slipping, telling lies, turned things around, made me the bad guy
Now what's that, what's that all about? Trying to twist and turn the facts around
If I catch you walking my way better keep your sorry eyes to the ground
Another time this jealous wretch, one sorry-ass DEFINITE BEEEEEYOTCH
tried to get from me, my sweet loving baby
Tried to spit her poisoned lies into everybody's eyes
with her evil made-up testimony

Two years havve passed since I last saw my land
breathed the fresh air in the sun
started my journey so I'd understand
How my whole world could be one
Thoughts of the ocean fill my memory
swimming it's waters at night
Grasses and hills that meant so much to me
A home where no other feels right
Yes I searched for a ride so i could be right beside
All the loved ones whom I'd left behind
So excited to see my old castle again
Not ready for surprises I'd find
I returned to fnd darkness that stretched on for miles
Sorrow that lined every street
Hostile new faces replacing the smiles
That old neighbors used to greet
Business and exploit where peace used to be
Smoke making clouds in the skies
The only thing left still familiar to me
Is the peace Mother kept in her eyes
Now where do I turn does the fire still burn
Can my loved one still make the sun shine
The girl with my heart is expecting a child
Would've been happy news were it mine
Though the sky's cloudy I still breath the air
Somehow I'll get through the night
Though I know other would not even dare
For my Castle I'd put up the fight
Taking back all that there is left to take
Bringing things back to my side,
More than they'll ever knows at stake
Never will they take my pride
As long as I'm breathing I will fight on strong
As long as my casle remains
I'll bring justice to the things they've made wrong
The cast;e's true owner now reigns (cont'd)

Empty, just like this glass in my hand
Lonely, waiting for you
crossing my fingers, holding my breath
hoping on nothing,
cos' it's all I have left
But, I know she won't be coming this time
One more for the road
I need to drown my sorrows
in this pint right here
I did her wrong, now I wish she were near
But I know she won't be coming to get me this time
You never now what you have till it's gone
and now she's left me I know
I thought somehow I'd have it all
But, I'm sitting here, singing alone

Grandma baked me cookies
But they were Macadamia
And I don't like Macadamia
I like chocolate chip
chocolate chip
chocolate chip
I didn't want to upset her
She took the time to bake two dozen
I ate them all, but there wasn't any milk
milk, milk
I asked for permission to play outside
Grandma said till the streetlights turn on
We played duck duck goose, and hide and seek
hide and seek
hide and seek
Throughout every hour I'll be backed by the power
Of the North Wind blowing from the sea
And if I lose it all in my fight for my home
Valhalla has a place saved for me
