I Gotta Move
04:07

Up to the mountains, down to the sea
Wherever my wheels take me that’s where I’ll be
Deep inside I’ve got a spark it calls to me inside my heart
Ooooh I’ve got to move
Through the windy city, down to Old Mexico
A voice tells me to ramble, a voice from my soul
Deep inside I’ve got a spark it calls to me inside my heart
Ooooh I’ve got to move
Driving on the freeway, I’m lost in the city again
Behind me is my baby, I’ve left her once again
Deep inside I’ve got a spark it calls to me inside my heart
Ooooh I’ve got to move

Shed My Skin
03:05
|

I’ve done so much that I can regret, the best I can do is try to forget
Gonna shed my skin and get my second wind
I’m gonna burn my old memories those that seemed like a weight to me
Gonna shed my skin and get my second wind
I’m looking forward to the next sunny day
I’ll play my cards however they lay
Seems like I’ve been in trouble for so long
I’m gonna play it like a lizard man, change my colors like a chamelean
Gonna shed my skin and get my second wind
Time for me to jump back into the race, I can finally look myself in the face
Gonna shed my skin and get my second wind
I’m looking forward to the next sunny day
I’ll play my cards however they lay
Seems like I’ve been in trouble for so long
Add it all up I’m still in once piece, got bounced around but landed on my feet
Gonna shed my skin and get my second wind

Painting of John

On my wall there’s a picture hanging before me
What goes on, in my mind as I look before me
A painting of John, on black velvet it’s John
Staring back at me, it’s gotta be John
Sunny Dallas day, shots rang out on a downtown street
His car sped away, John’s fate he went off to meet
A painting of John, on black velvet it’s John
Staring back at me, it’s gotta be John
Hey it’s not like he died for my sins, somebody’s bullet’s what did him in
after all these years a black cloud hangs over his head
They say Lee Harvey pulled the trigger if that’s what you believe then go and figure
cause we’ll never know what Lee Harvey would have said
On my wall a picture of a man who died too young
On my wall, we’ll never know just what he’d of done
A painting of John, on black velvet it’s John
Staring back at me, it’s gotta be John

Route 65
03:55
|
|||
I’m driving down Route 65 in a ‘71 Camaro my dog’s in the back seat sweats pouring down his lips
I’m not going anywhere, I’m not leaving anywhere, I’m just there and I’m riding hard
And this cracklin’ voice coming over my radio, telling me what to do how to be....
What’s your point hombre? Get to the quick of the nail, get to the quick of the nail!
I must have seen every barbeque joint in the world on this world
I must have seen every oil stained roughneck on this road
But I’m driving down Rt. 65 in a ‘71 Camaro and I’ve got the pedal to the metal
My dog’s in the back seat see sweats pouring down from his lips
I’ve got everything I need pal --I’ve got my dog -- I’ve got my car--
I’ve got everything I need pal
There’s a dead cat on Rt. 65 some cat that didn’t make it
He’s part of the road now part of the concrete
and it’s not a pretty sight friends not it’s not a pretty sight
My car’s running like that cat use to -- I’ve got my dog -- I’ve got my car--
I’ve got everything I need pal
My car’s standing still and the world is whizzing by my window
that’s the way I like it just me and my dog -- I can’t ask for anything more out of this world
And this cracklin’ voice coming over my radio, telling me what to do how to be....
Well let me tell you something pal
I ain’t no dead cat on Rt 65
