Ragtop down, tunes up loud
Brand new tires, full tank, make me proud
Hot southern night, best girl I know
Wide open road, and can't go slow
Oh I know, we had four wheels off the ground
I wish I was back down there
I wish I was Delta Bound
Old T can shake it, and he's good with a knife
Red's sure enough grinning, "This game is for life.
Someone gonna win, someone gonna lose
The secret is, darling, it's all up to you."
I was lost and didn't want to be found
I wish I was back down there
I wish I was Delta Bound
Have you ever felt the light
come up through the edge of a Delta Night?
I was lost and but now I’m found
Yes, I’m going back down there, heart and soul
I am Delta Bound
Boogie Church Commencing, cut on the fans
Full moon shining and his name's Wolfman.
Thunder on the drums, but you ought to see him dance
Lightnin's in the front row, and the girl with the Army pants
Oh I know, That’s where I found the sound
I wish I was back down there
You know I am Delta Bound
I was lost, didn’t want to be found
I wish I was back down there
I wish I was Delta Bound

Spread Wide
Spread Long
Spread Out like those Rocky Mountains
My Old Lonesome Home
Come on make me grin
Come on make me moan
Spread Out like those Rocky Mountains
My Old Lonesome Home
Lookers oh, lookers I am passing over
Lookers oh, lookers I am sliding off the shoulder
No matter where my Mama’s gone
My Old Lonesome home
Spread Wide
Spread Long
Spread Out like those Rocky Mountains
My Old Lonesome Home
Come on make me grin
Come on make me moan
Spread Out like those Rocky Mountains
My Old Lonesome Home
World oh, World I am getting brave and bolder
World oh, World we are all getting older
No matter where my Papa’s gone
My Old Lonesome Home

do you think its been so long well
has it really been so long well
has it really been so long
since youve been gone
do you think its been so long well
has it really been so long well
has it really been so long
since youve been gone
like wind round right behind me
its there but it cant find me
this feeling i dont mind it now
has it really been so bad well
and everything we had well
and everything we had well
its all gone gone gone
you been gone so long well
has it really been so long well
has it really been so long
since youve been gone gone gone
like wind round right behind me
its there but it cant find me
this feeling i dont mind it now

Reason, rationed. Packed and gone away.
Reason, rationed. Packed and run away.
Reason gone - left is live today.
Love don't linger - well up cool and fresh.
Love don't linger - well up cool and fresh.
East sky bright - stars shine way back west.
Ladder Loosen - lay there on the ground.
Ladder Loosen - lay there on the ground.
No way up - no way further down.
Strain and Struggle - held up by the weir.
Strain and Struggle - held up by the weir.
Listen close - more than words to hear.
listen close - more than wind to hear.

Lightning ripped the night
and dropped it on the ground
the rain was falling up
so couldn't make a sound
winter set in hard
that early August eve
my mind was frozen still
refusing to believe
I'm ridin' on
I'm ridin' on
I'm ridin' on
What's Gone is gone
Coyote broke the hush
and folly galloped past
the roaring rain came back again
with another lightning flash
Folly reared her head
and reaper stepped on back
I grabbed the pony's mane
and found the golden track
I'm ridin' on
I'm ridin' on
I'm ridin' on
What's Gone is gone
I’m on the Golden Track because I keep on going I’m looking at the people the people never ever be knowing I’m really riding hard Can’t even look back The past is gone because I’m thinking what’s that is that Because I’m going straight forward I’m Going to the Future I’m Looking at you now you know I’ve got to keep it mutual I’ve got to keep it going, Gotta keep a stiff upper, Looking dead up in your face and now you know I be coming.
I'm ridin' on
I'm ridin' on
I'm ridin' on
What's Gone is gone
Saw you standing there
Naked in the rain
Truth beheld, Fear expelled
comfort in your flame
spirits flashed up strong
reflecting in your grin
made me moan, made me laugh
made me smile again
I'm ridin' on
I'm ridin' on
I'm ridin' on
What's Gone is gone

Diamond Rain
04:15

Truth comes and like water goes
into lives like wind it blows
finding cracks to fill in part
mending those with breaking hearts
And the Rains
The rains have come again
Truth comes and like water flows
over rocks to sands below
touching all in birth and death
moving on with every breath
And the Rains
The rains have come again
Dunk me drench me
open up and quench me
wash away the stubborn stains
Soak me, flood me
turn around and mud me
walk me out in the diamond rain
Truth Falls and like rain it yields
not one thing 'til all's revealed
and dammed the river only swells
swallows all in living hell
And the Rains
The rains have come again
Truth falls and like rain it wields
the dust out to the growing fields
spreading life from all that dies
growing hope in desperate lives
And the Rains
The rains have come again

Red Sun
Been Rising
Keep it burning
on my right hand side
Amblin
Been Ramblin
And gambling
with the whole world wide
I am gonna fly
because I am free
I am gonna fly
see what I can see
I am gonna fly
because I am free
I am gonna fly
see what's left of me
The weapers
and reapers
aren't keepers
they're holding on too tight
I believe it
will relieve it
I'm gonna heave it
up into the night
I am gonna fly
because I am free
I am gonna fly
see what I can see
I am gonna fly
because I am free
I am gonna fly
see what's left of me
I went to the mountain top
and I could barely breath
I walked through the red desert
until I burned my feet
And kept on walking
to soak them in the sea
then caught the wailing winds
and swore they'd be the death of me
The white sun
now shining
keep it burning
turning, way up high
Gonna Stand up
gonna rise up
gonna own up brother
and take my time
I am gonna fly
because I am free
I am gonna fly
see what I can see
I am gonna fly
because I am free
I am gonna fly
see what's left of me
We're gonna fly
because we're free
Gonna fly
see what we can be
We're gonna fly
because we're free
Gonna fly
to the shining

Whisper

When you find me
on the way to the park
on the corner at the edge of the dark
I will stand up
and dance through the memory of you
When you see me
my arms are open wide
in the morning
with the good girl by my side
I will stand up
and dance through the memory of you
Dancing on the inside
Feeling opened wide
take me from the start
whisper the way to my heart
When you wake me
alone we come to this
in the midnight
that’s as gentle as your kiss
I will stand up
and dance through the memories to you
Dancing on the inside
Feeling opened wide
take me from the start
whisper the way to my heart
