KJB Lyrics Sheet - Alphabetical by title ALMOST HOME On this ship that's been rustin' Try to make it one more year Never sunk but now I am busted I'll be sailing through the years And I'm almost home And I'm almost home All my friends seem to make it Hiding on the shore it seems so clear I've been lost so I can't fake it I let the music softly guide me here And I'm almost home And I'm almost home Costa Rica with a southern girl It could change your mind Kind blue sky above your never alone Smiling sea below and I'm almost home Time can only sweeten what age changes And I've been trying for some years Looking back I think I turned some pages Watching bridges burning all my fears And I'm almost home And I'm almost home ------------------------------------------------------ ANYTHING It seems like I've been waiting on some salvation in my songs It seems like I've been taking my life too serious for much too long I don't need no company I don't need your time All I got to do is say you're mine And it seems like I've been hanging around the same old bars Too many nights and never too long And it seems like somehow I got caught up on singing the same old tired out broken songs I don't need no sympathy I don't need your time I want to be your lover I want to be your man I'll do anything that I got to do Just to be your fool And I'll be your fool I want to be your lover I want to be your man I'll do anything that I got to do Just to be your fool ------------------------------------------------------ ASHES ASHES Does anybody hear the beat? Drummer marching on a dead end street. Time keeps tick-tocking slow and gentle It's a one-way ticket You can't own just a rental. Some days you feel one of a kind Other days marching forward You could be one of the blind Asking, saints and angels For the reason in which we live It's not the story It's the music that we give. Ashes, ashes someday we'll all be saved Ashes to ashes turn to dust my body lay We all meet the same destiny We all need something to believe We all end up home We just travel different roads Ashes, ashes someday we'll all be saved Ashes to ashes turn to dust my body lay From the cradle to the grave Enter womb exit tomb Ashes ashes we all leave to soon Ashes, ashes some day we'll all be saved Ashes to ashes turn to dust my body lay ------------------------------------------------------ BEST FRIEND Sometimes it's so hard to say the things you feel I'm gonna take this chance to give you something real I'm gonna thank you girl for being my friend When I was lost and down Double crossing and getting around You came from a dream and I was found I'm gonna thank you girl for being my friend May the sunlight shine on you Make your gray sky blue in everything you do Just remember darlin' you are my best friend It's all about forgiveness with no regrets Your tender love is the best thing yet So come a little closer girl I'm gonna give you what you need I'm gonna thank you girl thank you girl For that morning in the tub and that afternoon of love I'm gonna thank you woman for being my friend May the sunlight shine on you Make your gray sky blue in everything you do Just remember darlin' you are my best friend ------------------------------------------------------ BLESS YOU MISSISSIPPI Bless you for your wine you set before me I'm sure it's fine my friend, a good year too But my thirst, my friend, can never be mistaken For the river's water And the devil's bowl of fruit Bless you Mississippi for your whiskey It's nice to have you home to ease our souls Please don't leave we're all just getting happy But if it's so long for now Mississippi won't you take me home I myself have often lost my way It feels like heaven but Lord it's hell to pay I have sold my soul for just a song So Mississippi if you're leaving be sure and take me along ------------------------------------------------------ CAN I SLEEP IN YOUR ARMS TONIGHT Can I sleep in your arms tonight darling, she sang to me Can I lay here and watch the stars Fall into to the southern sea? To all my friends in heaven everyone down below I’ve got a sweet thing in paradise And I am not ever coming home Can I sleep in your arms tonight baby and When I wake can I stay? Oh the trees and the wind sing a melody As the sun smiles on the bay To everybody From the St. Croix valley waters Down to the Gulf of Mexico You can keep your fools race I’m banking on a sunny day And I not ever coming home From the Rockies in Montana and every peak That ever reached for the sky Give me blue blue waters Like sunshine you can own Lord I’m not ever coming home ------------------------------------------------------ CAROLINA They call her Delta when she's so far away That old Mason Dixon started to grow old She needed a way to get through the night Baby's got good love everything's all right California seems so far away Carolina I'm coming home to stay Rain on my face the skies filled with tears There's a break up ahead Must be my first one in years I'm going back River take me home With your spirit by me mama I'm never alone California seem so far away Carolina I'm coming home to stay That little home has been on my mind The western world, I'm gonna leave it behind Up around the ridge just one more mile Oh mama I can hear your voice and it makes me smile California seem so far away Carolina I'm coming home to stay ------------------------------------------------------ FAITH & HAPPINESS I can feel your body in the early morn' I tell you tender something girl I love you so Like music from a dream with words nobody knows Calling out your name early New Year's morn' Nothing's been the same since the night that we was born Faith and happiness in everything you do With some love and grace the good Lord will shine on you The rain fell all that day in Alabama I went to the 32nd Street Baptist Church They said Jesus had gone away I went looking for redemption when an angel came my way Then some old honky-tonk queen she gave me what I need Faith and happiness in every thing you do With some love and grace the good Lord will shine on you I climbed me a mountain to see what I could see And I heard that fire growing deep inside of me So I took it to the river to cool my spirit down And good Lord the sky must have been thunder When that lady sang that song Faith and happiness in everything you do With some love and grace the good Lord will shine on you ------------------------------------------------------ FEEL MY FIRE Whoa whoa whoa feel my fire Your body starts to burn Your love is my desire Tender mercy has fallen on me Graceful glory your love has set me free I'm going to praise you woman for helping me to grow The good Lord for your love and this life I've come to know I don't care what people say They will have their words we will have our day Just like the bird whose wings have fallen lame I remember your love I could not let it change Whoa whoa whoa feel my fire Your body starts to burn Your love is my desire Tender mercy has fallen on me Graceful glory your love has set me free I have lived a hundred lives or more For all my journeys end, there's a new one at my door Love is power the truth here lies Your spirit and your body Your plane of consciousness it dies Mother father someone who cares sister brother Gypsy woman come on won't you love like no other ------------------------------------------------------ FIRST KISS The daylight was upon you You looked like an angel to me How could I be a fool like this and be so naïve The morning rays clothed your body and I was jealous of the sun The smile that you wore let me know the night before that the damage was done If the first kiss is the last kiss is the only kiss that's true But we could give it one more try let's see what love can do If I live forever I would find a cure Why good love seems to fade away I would make it pure If we could make this work out I would love you like fifty men Now wake up my sweet angel the check-out is at ten This no-tell motel feels like heaven to me There are stains on the sheets and walls Even got the color T.V. The cigarettes are smoking, with no help it seems A continental breakfast for free Ain't life a dream If the first kiss is the last kiss is the only kiss that's true But we could give it one more try let's see what love can do ------------------------------------------------------ GOOD LUCK GIRL I swear that the sign said "Open come on in for a while" It read "missi missi have a sippi" It could make a young girl smile And by the paper on the floor that had fallen from the door I could see your were closed for the trial I'm a fool for really loving Must be a kin to misery Good luck girl I hope they give you the world When I'm gone, when I'm gone I dreamed that I saw you at the Last Chance You were singing my song There was a bottle in your hand Same tune a different brand Chateau le Genghis Khan And like a tattoo on your skin I could see your soul was thin Put me out when I got in I'm a fool for really loving I must be a kin to misery Good luck girl I hope they give you the world When I'm gone, when I'm gone ------------------------------------------------------ I MISS YOU I can I can hear the rolling of a stone That old train won't leave me alone I see that Savannah moon shining bright Weeping willow blue all through the night When did all my words get in the way Where this melody used to play Can you feel the motion of the tide? Hate to leave but I just can't stay I miss you I miss you more I miss you more than words can say If I could be a spirit singing free Forget old used to be's Should I be your Judas or your savior Your lover and betrayer I miss you I miss you more I miss you more than words can say My coming down is coming round too often My highs and lows all seem to be the same Seems nothing I can do is good enough for no one Choose to bless or choose to blame to blame ------------------------------------------------------ I WANT YOU Take me to Memphis, Rio or Rome Take me for a fool now mama just don’t leave me alone I want you baby I want you We could be so right together One night one life one love can last forever I want you Early in the morn' before the first rooster crow Late into the eve It goes on and on I know I want you baby I want you I need you baby I need you It's all a game they say The closer you get you're further away Is all love in vain when you’re too close to share the blame? Take me to Memphis, Rio or Rome Take me for a fool now mama 'cause I’m taking you home I want you baby I want you I need you baby I need you Take me to heaven 'cause girl I know I’m in hell Please give me a truth if this is real it's getting too hard to tell ------------------------------------------------------ IT'S ALL RIGHT Day after day changes come my way Year after year a little bit closer to what is coming near I know what is mine I said it's been coming just a little closer behind I can see the mountain from the valley I can see the heavens from the sky Well they say it's all right it's all right yeah they say it's all right Women soothe my soul take what is half make you whole Money steal it away Let the devil surely have his day I can hear the music so loud and clear Just a little bit closer to what is coming near Well they say it's all right it's all right yeah they say it's all right Every day when I wake to the sun Every night when the music is done Come what may I have all that I need Leave all the world to their sorrow and their greed Well they say it's all right it's all right yeah they say it's all right ------------------------------------------------------ ONE WAY IN, NO WAY OUT The truth hurts and what's worse I can't find any reason For this one leg race I'm in There's no rope I've finally hit the end of my dope One thing I could count on was you I can't find no reason to stay All the words get in my way Shoot quick right from the hip And I'm feeling suicidal but I haven't got the nerve Gotta find a life without any curves Between love life and lust without any trace Gotta find a cage for this dragon on my back I can't find no reason to stay All the words get in my way Shoot quick right from the hip Because there's one way in, no way out You confess you have your doubts ------------------------------------------------------ MELODY AND HARMONY We are too young in a world a little too small Instead of building bridges we put up them walls I can't stop thinking there’s a devil in every man's heart Need to stop this soul from sinking I’m still trying to find my part Now it’s getting hard to breath the walls are caving in If I could find what I lost or remember what it is, what it is I can't stop thinking there’s a devil in my heart Need to get this soul singing there are harmonies but what is my part Melody and harmony A song is all we need A little rhythm and you can set your spirit free I know it's simple Melody and harmony and song to believe Teach a blind soul to see there is a better world for you and me There is a better world for you and me I want to break free if it's the last thing I ever do Or at the very least break even and see a dream come true I can't stop thinking there’s a song in every man's heart Need to give this soul a reason and always do my part When I sing Melody and harmony a song is all we need A little rhythm and you can set your spirit free I know it's simple Melody and harmony and song to believe Teach a blind soul to see there is a better world for you and me There is a better world for you and me ------------------------------------------------------ WE GOT SOMETHING REAL Hey hey world let me off If your gonna be that way Oh my girl lets do it right Lets make it stay Now we got something real From Louie Armstrong to Robert Z We saw a beautiful world where we can be free I’m free When I was ten my mama cried dear child grow up true In your heart there's a fire I’m free Hey hey world let me off If your gonna be that way Oh my girl let's do it right Let's make it stay Now we got something real I'll do for you; you do for me See what spirit brings From shining sea to sea I’m free Everybody needs love it’s a coming to ya From the heaven above look at me I’m free Baby I need you I want to shine in your world Shine in your world ------------------------------------------------------ WITHOUT YOU Just in time you wake up to find you're in love It don't mean a thing who you are Just in time you wake and feel you're alive I can't hide my soul from your eyes I was blind Why was I hiding from you God knows what I'm supposed to without you Without you Close my eyes I can't help but feel my desire Will always been incomplete Close my heart I can't even take that you're gone I can't hide my soul from this song What went wrong Why was I hiding from you God knows what I'm supposed to without you Without you Why was I hiding from you Darling tell me please what am I supposed to do without you Without you ------------------------------------------------------ WORLD KEEP ON TURNING World please keep on turning But just a little bit slower Manhattan skyline burning Over and over Change is coming I can hear the hounds of hell drumming Buildings crumble Birds of war start to rumble World keep on turning 10,000 souls meet your maker Angels open heaven's doors but who's their taker Change is coming I can hear the hounds of hell drumming Buildings crumble Birds of war start to rumble World keep on turning Fire falls from sky To the city like sin From the cradle to the grave The end is to begin Change is coming I can hear the hounds of hell drumming Buildings crumble Birds of war start to rumble World keep on turning ------------------------------------------------------ All songs Copyright©2004 or earlier by Kurt Jorgensen All rights reserved. 04/23/2004
