Ryan Bingham CD: Dead Horses Sunrise Here I go again Straight up out the motel Hock my guitar out of a pawn shop jail If I quit, I'm just rolling the dice Couldn't pass up the red beans and rice Singing Chorus: Oh, my my See them girls shake their ass Underneath the sunrise Oh, my my Taste the sugar on their lips Underneath that moonlight Well I've never met the devil with a one-eyed dog You can lead a blind man out of Vietnam Everybody's beggin, everybody wants a chance Stuck in a storm, we'll do a rain dance Chorus I'm taking my chances I'm taking my sins Throwin' 'em down the hill and i'll watch 'em come around again Watched 'em fall, watched 'em rise up to the sky A hundred miles an hour across the river to the other side Chorus ------------ Ghost Of Travelin' Jones An empty sack of dust Or just a box of bones Call me what you will, son My name's Travelin' Jones And I search for the fire Stumbled upon with a precious desire Travelin' Jones Have you seen the miles Have you smelled the whiskey and the smoke Burnin' out underneath your tires Travelin' Jones You're the Travelin' Jones Tell me the secrets of an endless road It's not where you've been, son It's what you understand Do you know the right from wrong Tell me, boy, are you an honest man Have you ever felt the fire Stumbled upon with a precious desire Have your fingers bled, boy Off sin's strings Tied to that wooden box That you're playin' across your knee Have you ever felt the fire Stumbled upon with a precious desire Travelin' Jones I've seen the miles I've played in every honky-tonk bar Behind that chicken wire Travelin' Jones You're the Travelin' Jones Tell me the secrets of an endless road An empty sack of dust Or just a box of bones Call me what you will, son My name's Travelin' Jones And I found the fire ------------- Other Side Everytime I turn around A man tries to get me down I just can't see your face I'm blinded by the sun Living on the run And I can't remember this place Take me to the other side Wind won't you let me ride Take me to the other side, pretty mama And on the wind won't you let me ride Everytime I turn around A man's trying to get me down I just can't see your face I'm driving on the river Tires on my mercedes goin' (?) It's time to put the hammer down Won't you take me to the other side Let me go when I'm high Take me to the other side, pretty mama And on the wind won't you let me ride Cowboy's your given name Nothing ever stays the same 'Cept the rain falling down You can't keep from goin' No the wind is always damn cold It's time to put the hammer down Won't you take me to the other side Let me go when I'm high Take me to the other side, pretty mama And on the wind won't you let me ride Won't you take me to the other side On the wind won't you let me ride ------------ Don't Wait For Me Don't wait for me 'Cause I'll be running late By the flowers upon my grave Don't wait for me 'Cause I'll be coming home Don't wait for me Long by the telephone Chorus: 'Cause I'm wild running through the hills And my eyes are wondering how you feel And the miles upon miles keep falling from the sky Don't wait for me When the flowers die Don't wait for me I have many miles to go Don't wait for me I have nothing left to show Don't wait for me Wonderin' what is wrong Don't wait for me I'll catch up at the break of dawn Chorus Don't wait for me Sleepin' in the summer sun Don't wait for me With my pillow lies my gun Don't wait for me I'm gonna finish last Don't wait for me I'm mending fences of my past Chorus Don't wait for me When the flowers die ------------- Ever Wonder Why If you ever see me walking down the side of the road Do you ever stop and wonder why Would you think it's lost that I paid the cost Stop and give a poor boy a ride And forget my past 'Cause if I ever get home, I'm never gonna worry 'bout the things that I could've done 'Cause I've done a lot of things I could've done better But now it don't matter none 'Cause I've raised my glass I fell in love and then lost touch I dropped it and broke her heart I drove off a cliff And I barely missed Walkin' days through the park -------------- With a selfish boy But I have not forgot that the food in the pot ain't cookin' for a boy like me I been fightin' all night with the dogs in the alley, looking for a bone to eat Been starving to death Everybody's troubled with the hustle and the bustle The payment on the house is late If I ever have a problem like that I guess I'll be in pretty good shape You can kiss my ass goodbye 'Cause when I feel the wind blow See a ghost in the road And headlights are a beautiful sight And out in the desert I can sit under them heavens And watch the sun keep settin' for miles And here comes another song Then I take a pen and a little piece of paper I scribble on down the lines And what you're hearing now Is something I found Hidin' way down inside With the cellar of my heart And I hope everybody had a real good time I hope I didn't bring you down These ain't sad songs So don't take 'em wrong I haven't been home in a while Well, I'll see you all around ------------
