Good Morning Captain Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Well there's a ruckus on the levee
Unruly crowd on the courthouse steps
And if I make it till Sunday
I'm sho'nuff gonna ask the good Lord for help
With a moutfull of salt I try to explain
If money was sand I couldn't hold one grain
I feel like a thief that knows he's been framed
For leaving the watch but stealing the chain

Good morning, captain
I wish there was another way
But my baby is wantin
Me to roll around in her bed all day

Well the late nights got me reeling
Spillin out the bottle right into the next day
Got a funny little feeling gonna be like this until my dying day
There's mud in my eye but I can still see
Everybody in town is tryin to murder me
If they don't get me s'pose the hangman will
I better think twice about making this deal

Good morning, captain
I wish there was another way
But my baby is wantin
Me to roll around in her bed all day

Magnolia, magnolia
Let me rest under the shade of your leaves

Good morning, captain
I wish there was another way
But my baby is wantin
Me to roll around in her bed all day

Been A Long Time (Waiting On Love) Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Earthbound wingless dream child born to necessity
Tied to crimson velvet wings (she flies)
New moon midnight star, medicine is in the jar
Headful of going far, (she flies)
Lost out on the dream road
Looking for a keyhole
Never try to fight it, feeling right inside it....

Low country blushing bride blind to the ways of time
Clear crystal burning mind, (she flies)
Falling through liquid air with music everywhere
Stone faces silent stare, (she flies)
The old guard on the hill can feel the chill
Deep into the freeze of those who don't believe

[Chorus:]
Been a long time (Waiting on Love) [4x]

Damp with this morning dew the world is bright and new
Her word is always true, she flies
Step into the new day right over the old way
We are the horizon see our future smilin'

[Chorus:]
Been a long time (Waiting on Love) [4x]

Lost out on the dream road
Looking for a keyhole
Never try to fight it, feeling right inside it....

[Chorus: Two times to end]

Been a long time (Waiting on Love) [4x]

Appaloosa Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Be struck by the arrow of weakness
On the gilded path to forgiveness
Find my way home when the morning comes
To stay your friend when it's all said and done

Simple as lightning starting wild fire
Just down from a trip off my high wire
Just coming home to walk my own floors
Just coming home to the one I adore

Appaloosa
Appaloosa
Appaloosa
Take me home
Where I can dream my days away

You took your tears back to the river
Knowing all the while there'd be more later
So it goes in a rainy day town
Come on and won'cha let me lay you down

Sometimes the sun makes beggars believers
And sometimes a shrine is built to deceive her
In between let oblivion ring
Whoa let me hear all you sad angels sing

Appaloosa
Appaloosa
Appaloosa
Take me home
Where I can dream my days away

Appaloosa
Appaloosa
Appaloosa
Take me home
Where I can dream my days away

A Train Still Makes A Lonely Sound Lyrics – The Black Crowes

As I listen to the wheels
Hear them going round and round
It reminds me of a train
That still makes a lonely sound
It reminds me of a girl
That came from Knoxville town
? and now on that April day
When she took this ol' boy down

Oh, Tennesee you got me runnin
But I'm not coming back this time
Way out west is where I'm goin
To forget the one I left behind

Well I might have seen Moses
Standin on the Penn state line
Just another wanderer
With an angel on his mind
I know love it has its reason
Way it comes and it goes
There's no mystery in season
Or of this heart cold grows?

[3x] Oh, Tennesee..

I Ain't Hiding Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Rust on my pickups
And blood on the stage
Seeds in the ashtray
And coke on the blade
NYC delivers thats a guarantee
The only thing that keep the day from me

Line at the bathroom
Line at the bar
Take it outside and do the rest in the car
Our candy baby's in a bright light fright
Rock and roll rat race everybodys up tight
Thats right

[Chorus:]
Aint your saint aint your enemy
Im a long shadow on the highway
I know this aint how it's supposed to be
Baby I aint hiding

Stayed on the dance floor cause you can't find the door
Can't run out cause there is always more
Keep on rocking cause it's not even four
Turn up the bass until your ears get sore

Kept My Soul Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Sad and sorry
Troubled and tired
Wild with worry
Mad with desire

Junky jitters, bed bug critters
Now who would die for love?
Midnight favor, sweet sick flavor
Now who would die for love?

You can see by the look in my eyes
That the devil takes his own
See by these holes in my heart
That I still kept my soul
Well you can take it, go on and take it

Sick and waitin'
Down and blue
C-c-c-c-cold and kickin'
What to do?

Creepy crawlin', non-stop jawin'
Now who would die for love?
Look who's holdin', sister rollin'
Now who would die for love?

You can see by the look in my eyes
That the devil takes his own
Tell by these holes in my heart
That I still kept my soul
Go on and take it, go on and take it

I ain't bitchin' but I been itchin'
Now who would die for love?
No use prayin' if it ain't worth savin'
Now who would die for love?

You can see by the look in my eyes
That the devil takes his own
You can see through these holes in my heart
That I still kept my soul

Well, you can see by the look in my eyes
That the devil takes his own
You see right through these holes in my heart
That I still kept my soul
You can take it, go on and take it

What Is Home? Lyrics – The Black Crowes

As I stare into the frozen starlight
My hands burn with the scars of past lives
I see past all the falling chimneys

Home for me
What is home for me?

As I charge into the foothills of your life
Stand under fading sunlight
Hope it will return next morning

Home for me
What is home for me?
I can't wait to find
A home for me

Silence gauge me into my soul
I approach you this morning
Which one will you be?
You're far too important to me

As I stare into the frozen starlight
My hands burn with the scars of past lives
I see past all the falling chimneys

Home for me
What is home for me?
I cannot wait to find
A home for me
Home for me

Houston Don't Dream About Me Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Another week in the drivers seat
With your feet up on the dashboard
Rain it kept a steady beat
As I watch you dream of Houston
How you're never going back
Yes sir thats a fact
As you wave your cowboy hat
And sang the Yellow Rose of Texas
Just trying to make high ground
Has kept us on the run
There's no crime in toeing the line
Because vultures are.(?)..on us baby
And we're gunna walk in the sun

I might dream about Houston
But Houston don't dream about me
If I can keep it between the lines
Who knows what will be

(?) and motel light
Day old coffee dollar post cards
State troopers flashing lights
As we listen to the thunder
As we talk about our past
So we see our coming future
You tell me you know love can last
While staring out the window
Just lookin' for
A place to hide
A place to ease our minds
A place away from yesterday
Close to tomorrow
Away from the sorrows
Of living other people's time

I might dream about houston
But houston don't dream about me
If I can keep it btwn the lines
Who knows what will be

How long how long
Til we feel a change
How long how long
Will the skies be gray
How long how long
Will it be this way
How long how long
Will she stay?

Make Glad Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Ballad and Dagger, Amazing Grace
Sons of rock bottom take your rightful place
Glad tooth and top hat with an ace up your sleeve
Show me your pistol so I can believe

[Chorus:]
Make Glad
Find the beauty in the broken
Make Glad
May your heart always be open
Make Glad
Keep an eye out for your brother
Make Glad
And I will see you in the other

Turpentine babies with one foot in the south
Turned out the turnkey for runnin' his mouth
"Jump", said the sheriff - "Get up out of that hole
Get in line and do what you're told!"

[Chorus:]
Make Glad
Find the beauty in the broken
Make Glad
May your heart always be open
Make Glad
Keep an eye out for your brother
Make Glad
And I will see you in the other

And The Band Played On... Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Did you hear Gabriel blow his horn?
It's what sent those black birds on their way
Into this house we born to be

[Chorus]
Like an arrow shot over the mountain
Like a bottle tossed in the sea
I have journeyed, I have traveled
Now home calls me

Let's all gather round the grand piano
Let's all raise our glasses in the air
Give a cheer to the jolly good fellow
and everyone whose kin

Who will mend this wagon wheel
To put this show on the road
The music sounds just like it feels

[Chorus]

And the band played on
Through the storm
Through the wicked, wicked rain

And the band played on
in golden harmony

What straw will break this camel's back?
Will we grow to love the lord?
Cant wait to __ what time __

Lets all gather round the grand piano
Let's all raise our glasses in the air
Give a cheer to the jolly good fellow
and everyone whose kin
Well everyone whose kin
Oh oh everyone whose kin oh

The Last Place That Love Lives Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Up high in a mansion
On a mountain of jagged rock
Behind two iron doors
So heavy they need no lock

Is the last place that love lives
Where the sad woman cries
Is the last place that love lives
Behind your eyes

You hold up your finger
And you place it to my lips
And you tell me that anger
Can never get rid of this

Is the last place that love lives
Where the sad woman cries
Is the last place that love lives
Behind your eyes

Never blind to misfortune
Never deaf to the sorrowful moan
Set adrift on an ocean
Until I find that peaceful shore

Is the last place that love lives
Where the sad woman cries
Is the last place that love lives
Behind your eyes

Aimless Peacock Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Hey boys gather 'round
We'll put it up and they'll tear it down
Hey boys rockabye
Kiss the pretty girls goodbye

Hey boys up on high
Don't you stop till you reach the sky
Hey boys let it ring
A song for everyone to sing

A song for everyone to sing
A song for everyone to sing
A song for everyone to sing
A song for everyone to sing

A song for everyone to sing
A song for everyone to sing
A song for everyone to sing
A song for everyone to sing

The Shady Grove Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Meet me by the banks of the sweet primrose
Follow it down to the shady grove
Bonnie blow the breeze by the cabin door
No two lovers could ask for more

So grab your fiddle and your old banjo
Play a country blues so sweet and slow
We'll sing along to the drunkard's doom
And rock all night by the silvery moon

These old trees grow straight to heaven
So it goes in the shady grove

When the old hen crackles and the ground gets cold
Our fine buck skin dances through the snow
We'll take to town on a Saturday night
You and me baby make such a sight

Whiskey, wine, name your pleasure
So it goes in the shady grove

Hey boys gather 'round
We'll put it up and they'll tear it down
Hey boys rockabye
Kiss the pretty girls goodbye

Hey boys up on high
Don't you stop till you reach the sky
Hey boys let it ring
A song for everyone to sing

When the fish start biting at the noon day fry
The muddy roads have all done dried
The honeysuckle says it's summertime
That old yellow sun is mighty kind

Hear the seasons come with reasons
So it goes in the shady grove

Hey boys up on high
Don't you stop till you reach the sky
Hey boys let it ring
A song for everyone to sing

Won't you be my lullaby, babe
In the sweet bye and bye, babe
It's okay to cry and let the sadness pass you by
And know I'll always love you, babe

Hey boys gather 'round
I'll put it up and they'll tear it down
Hey boys rock a bye
Kiss the pretty girls goodbye

Hey boys up on high
Don't you stop till you reach the sky
Hey boys let it ring
A song for everyone to sing

A song for everyone to sing
A song for everyone to sing
A song for everyone to sing
A song for everyone to sing

The Garden Gate Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Brown eyed girl, precious flower
From your slumber, awake
We have come to this fateful hour
And our love cannot wait

Meet me at the gate, at the garden gate
Meet me at the garden gate
You made a promise, now don't be late
Meet me at the garden gate

Meet me at the gate, at the garden gate
Meet me at the garden gate
You made a promise, now don't be late
Meet me at the garden gate

Don't tell your mother, don't tell your father
We both know it's far too late
When we fly, they won't come after
They will know our love is great

Meet me at the gate, at the garden gate
Meet me at the garden gate
You made a promise, now don't be late
Meet me at the garden gate

Meet me at the gate, at the garden gate
Meet me at the garden gate
You made a promise, now don't be late
Meet me at the garden gate, all right

You are sweet as you are tender
You are wise beyond your years
You are a jewel amongst the cinders
So don't shed a sorry tear

Meet me at the gate, at the garden gate
Meet me at the garden gate
You made a promise, now don't be late
Meet me at the garden gate

Meet me at the gate, at the garden gate
Meet me at the garden gate
You made a promise, now don't be late
Meet me at the garden gate

Greenhorn Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Greenhorn dreams of salty seas
Of maidens fair and lovely
Who beckon and call from emerald walls
Of cities far and strange

Greenhorn hears melodies
From mountaintops and low valleys
Of chimney smoke and Easter's hope
And love not lost in vain

I wanna wake up in the morning
(Wake up in the morning)
Wake and look into your eyes
Wake up in the morning
Wake and look into your eyes

Before I see the world
Under darkening skies
Gonna wake up in the morning
Wake and look into your eyes

Greenhorn feels the cold winds blow
Now he knows it's time to go
Now he longs for open roads
He longs to leave the pines

And leave he will with a tearful eye
But he won't stop to wave goodbye
He won't stop to look behind
On just what used to be

I wanna wake up in the morning
(Wake up in the morning)
Wake and look into your eyes
Wake up in the morning
Wake and look into your eyes

Before I see the world
Under darkening skies
I wanna wake up in the morning
Wake and look into your eyes

Days to years
Child to man
Lonely fears
She understands

Ah, ah, ah

I wanna wake up in the morning
(Wake up in the morning)
Wake and look into your eyes
Wake up in the morning
Wake and look into your eyes

Before I see the world
Under darkening skies
I wanna wake up in the morning
Wake and look into your eyes

I wanna wake up in the morning
(Wake up in the morning)
Wake up in the morning
(Wake up in the morning)
Wake up in the morning
Wake and look into your eyes

Shine Along Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Well my rider done left me
Mama wouldn't even close the door
Now I'm drunk and I'm ornery
Sitting here on my dirty floor

Shine along, shine along
Someday love is gonna take me home
Shine along, shine along
Someday love is gonna take me home

Now I'm broke and I'm hungry
I've been out on the rails too long
Got a mind that is worried
That the end is coming up on me strong

Shine along, shine along
Someday love is gonna take me home
Shine along, shine along
Someday love is gonna take me home

Ah, woah, woah
Ah, woah, woah

Shine along, shine along
Someday love is gonna take me home
Shine along, shine along
Someday love is gonna take me home

If you see my old rider
If you see her out on some Friday night
Tell her I don't miss her
Well, won't you tell her time is treating me right

Shine along, shine along
Someday love is gonna take me home
Shine along, shine along
Someday love is gonna take me home
Shine along, shine along
Someday love is gonna take me home
Shine along, shine along
Well, someday love is gonna take me home

Ah, woah, woah
Ah, woah, woah

Roll Old Jeremiah Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Roll old Jeremiah
Roll it all night long
Roll old Jeremiah
The fox jumps over the hollow log

Wave goodbye to Albuquerque
Say hello Sioux City Falls
You got three good wheels still rolling
Don't let the dust set on you long

It's just another day from here to there
It's just another night alone
Yeah the wind, it is a simple friend
What brought you here can take you home

Lean as these hard times
Dry down to the bone
Roll old Jeremiah
Roll that whiskey barrel home

When you hear that whistle blowin'
When your smoke is in the air
Roll on Jeremiah
Roll on home without a care

It's just another day from here to there
It's just another night alone
Yeah the wind, it is a simple friend
What brought you here can take you home

Double mounted double gal
Lifted a pistol in Jesuit Bend
Up to Viper she did run
Careful Jeremiah now
You know how this is gonna go down
A bullet don't care where it comes from
Run Jeremiah, run, run, run

It's just another day from here to there
It's just another night alone
Yeah the wind, it is a simple friend
What brought you here can take you home

Lady Of Ave. A Lyrics – The Black Crowes

You said goodnight
Wrapped your scarf up tight
And left into a winter scene
The Lower East Side
Is just a place to hide
A place to privately dream

Good times and lost nights on Avenue A
Don't let the bright lights take you away
You just can't believe what the city folks say
My lady of Avenue A

These old downtown streets
Where lovers meet
To sometimes laugh, to sometimes cry
A strange parade
All new things fade
But somehow this place stays the same

Good times and lost nights on Avenue A
Don't let the bright lights take you away
You just can't believe what the city folks say
My lady of Avenue A

You fall asleep
I hear you breathe
The snow outside, I make some tea
The cat's awake
And plays with string
As I slip into a dream

Good times and lost nights on Avenue A
Don't let the bright lights take you away
You just can't believe what the city folks say
My lady of Avenue A
My lady of Avenue A

So Many Times Lyrics – The Black Crowes

So many times
I've been fooling myself
It's a hard hand to play
Falls on nobody else

Those in the city
Reaching out to grab hold
Of something they've only heard about
And never been shown

Who do you turn to and what do you say?
When she's got the power and she got the way
Does it matter at all
Who survives and who falls
When we live under darkness
And hide behind walls?

Why would anyone
Even try to hold sway
Over somebody else
In such a small way

Where are the answers
To the problems we face?
Who would teach us
About sharing and living in grace?

Who do you turn to and what do you say
When she's got the power and she got the way?
Does it matter at all
Who survives and who falls
When we live under darkness
And hide behind walls?

Fork In The River Lyrics – The Black Crowes

The wine may have gone sour
But you can't blame the band
Like you can't blame the locusts
For drought on the land

You can't blame the sea
'Cause it's full of your tears
And you can't blame me
For wanting you here

There's a fork in the river
No time to think twice
A change in the weather
So keep close at night

A hissing in the wood pile
A voice on the wind
A fork in the river
Is where we begin

I once found a rainbow
Lyin' flat on the ground
But I just kept walkin'
Thinking more were around

The buzzard, the joker
The beggar, the throne
The roses, the sugar
No safe passage home

There's a fork in the river
No time to think twice
A change in the weather
So keep close an eye

A hissing in the wood pile
A voice on the wind
A fork in the river
Is where we begin

A fork in the river
No time to think twice
A change in the weather
So keep close an eye

A hissing in the wood pile
A voice on the wind
A fork in the river
Is where we begin

A fork in the river
Is where we begin
A fork in the river
Is where we begin

Goodbye Daughters Of The Revolution Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Cut a rusty engine outta sawdust town
Better deal with the man who shook 'em all down so
Put a little grease on my axle now, yeah.

I been from Antioch to Alcatraz
I can roll you one from an empty bag, but let's
Take it easy to avoid any snags.

[Chorus:]
Goodbye daughters of the revolution
Open your eyes and see your solution.
Hallelujah come join the jubilee.

Keep on runnin' through the gates of the city
To give up now would be such a pity
Don't you wanna see the ship go down with me?

Well...

I'll come to you hungry I'll come to you sore.
I'll come round midnight to your back door.
I'll drag my tail across your floor.

Gonna run you ragged till you act your age.
Gonna circle the wagons gonna storm your stage.
If we all plead guilty will the charges be the same?

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

I've been restless, baby, I've been wild.
Caught up in a fever dream
Well, come on and save me, child.

[Chorus]

Walk Believer Walk Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Go down go down you stranger
there's something waiting for you
Angels, dolls and honey
Temples and harpoons
You want your main line jesus
Your want your diamond
You want to pull the trigger
And kill the autumn home

So walk believer walk
Straight into the sun
Walk believer walk
Your word ain't ever done

Pray on pray on my brother
Nows the time for due
Black shadow come a creeping
Take the soul right out of you
Can you feel the demons puling
Can you hear the devils sing
Can you taste the poison in your mouth
Feel the weight of his chains

So walk believer walk
Straight into the sun
Walk believer walk
Your word ain't ever done

aaa a a a aaa aaa aaa a a a oo o o aa

So walk believer walk
Straight into the sun
Walk believer walk
Your word aint ever done

Oh Josephine Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Diamonds hold mirrors
And spoon it holds the stars
It's been a long time baby
Since i've seen the sun rise like this
Make a wish and call it maybe
And give me one more kiss
Ooh, I like it like this
Ooh, I like it like this

Oh josephine
Youre dressed in black
Oh josephine
Your eyes are blue
And I know now
There's no turning back
Oh josephine
What will we do?

It's the dreaming through the come down
Still filling every tape
Come on and touch me baby
Before I turn to rust
I know there ain't no other
It's not a matter of trust
It's just sometimes love ain't enough
Ooh, love ain't enough

Oh josephine
Youre dressed in black
Oh josephine
Your eyes are blue
And I know now
There's no turning back
Oh josephine

What will we do?

For a while I was kneeling in tears and powder
For as well I was strung out beyond my means
Well I lost that love while climbing down the ladder
Just looking for the song to set me free

Waited for redemption
No leaving love behind
You've got to know where you wanna be
It gets cold outside
It's too late to play it safe
So let's let it all ride
Yeah, let's let it all ride
Let it all ride!

Oh josephine
Youre dressed in black
Oh josephine
Your eyes are blue
And I know now
There's no turning back
Oh josephine
What will we do?
Yeah

Oh josephine
Youre dressed in black
Oh josephine
Your eyes are blue
And I know, I know
There's no turning back
Oh josephine
What will we do?

Evergreen Lyrics – The Black Crowes

A song ease your lonely
Let my words take your hand
Let me kiss your rose pedals for you and golden van
Let me point out the birds that fly only for you
And I will do anything that you want me to

Evergreen, evergreen, prettiest thing id ever seen
Come and steer away with me by the moonlight

When playing my garden come and dance in my rain
Come make love in the sunshine
Come lets share our pain
Come fly thru this darkness
To be right by my side
And lets walk right thru the door
Just to see whats inside

[Chorus]

Show me the way
With the words that you say
With the light of love
And the light of your love

[Chorus]

Wee Who See The Deep Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Put forever in your mind
Let go of space and time
Yeah say it is we who see the deep
It is we that the less earn teeth

Do you even know this place
Nowhere is over
To find our way back to grace
Nowhere is nothing at all

Well I have come from a hurricane
A messenger that the temp is praying
Eyes full of sun, hands full of sea
Anyone with the night just to help me see

[Chorus]

I said nowhere is nothing at all
I said nowhere is nothing at al`
I said nowhere is nothing at all
I said nowhere is nothing at all

Nowhere is nothing at all
Well I said nowhere nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere is nothing at all
I said nowhere is nothing at all

Wounded Bird Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Off the tracks lost the rail
Trying to squeeze a little blood out a rusty nail
When you're thirsty, thirsty
Behind your eyes you feel the burn
As your down hill ride takes a solid turn from the lonely, lonely

Now don't look back
My wounded bird
There's nothing for you're here
Need no wing just set your mind to fly

It's like it been a long time in an empty bed
In an empty room with an empty head full of nothing
And all you got left is your skin and your teeth
And the red in your eye your six feet deep to get ready yeah

Now don't look back
My wounded bird
There's nothing for you're here
Need no wing just set your mind to fly

The waiting is over
So lets roll in the clover
Time for a head full of stars
Lets pull back the curtain
I know one thing for certain
Well we don't have very long

Now don't look back
My wounded bird
There's nothing for you're here
Need no wing just set your mind to fly

Locust Street Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Dry bread on the table
Burn the mill salt the paper

And its easy pick-ins on Locust Street
There's no place to hide
And you can't find love on Locust Street
But you can hear the sunrise crying
Can't you hear the sunrise crying
A song for you alone

Sad eyes, weeping willow
Black cat blues, blacked out window

And its easy pick-ins on Locust Street
There's no place to hide
And you can't find love on Locust Street
But you can hear the sunrise crying
Can't you hear the sunrise crying
A song for you alone

Just a glimpse of what love could be
Once a dream that I owned
What of many lonely longing souls
At least I'm not alone
Well at least I'm not alone

Ripe off the vine now lay rotten
Like a dead end street forever forgotten

And its easy pick-ins on Locust Street
There's no place to hide
And you can't find love on Locust Street
But you can hear the sunrise crying
Can't you hear the sunrise crying
A song for you alone

Movin' On Down The Line Lyrics – The Black Crowes

It's all right sisters
It's all right brother

It's all right sisters
It's all right brother

It's all right sisters
It's all right brother
It's all right brothers
It's all right

It's all right sisters
It's all right brother

The wheel within the wheel
The water below the well
Keep the curtain drawn and the record on
And the curtain what do you say
Bring the bottle here
Make the real unreal
And lets go out and play

It's all right sisters
It's all right brother
We all get down sometimes
Starting to show me
Starting to know me
Starting to feel the shine
Starting to let go
Now that we know
Time to move it on down the line

The exit marks the hex
That moves from next to next
Keep your head on tight
To make it thru the night
You got to make a friend along the way
So cover up your tracks
And avoid a tax
And you'll live to love another day

It's all right sisters
It's all right brother
We all get down sometimes
Starting to show me
Starting to know me
Starting to feel the shine
Starting to let go
Now that we know
Time to move it on down the line

There's Gold In Them Hills Lyrics – The Black Crowes

On the first day of winter
I was set to leave
With the lost awe of true love in my eye
The wild frontier outlaws and thieves
To find me a mountain in the sky

There's gold in them hills
I heard the man cry
There's gold in them hills
For the taking
It's a one-way ticket down a river of lies
There's gold in them hills
If you make it

On the last day of spring
I first saw the sea
A poor boy with good luck on my side
Ready for riches
I rolled up my sleeve
And took my first step down my life

Had my wallet same old pocket
Sixteen dollars brand new shoes
Empty bottles sad turned daughters
What's a country boy to do

Tell dear mother that I miss her
But things are different now
There's nothing I can do
Your dark haired son is now long gone
Remember me
When you stare at the moon

I've broken my heart
Diamonds and gold
Through scandal through madness through cold
All I have left is this grey in my beard
This mountain and the stories that I've told

There's gold in them hills
I heard the man cry
There's gold in them hills
For the taking
It's a one-way ticket down a river of lies
There's gold in them hills
If you make it

Whoa Mule Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Whoa mule, whoa mule, we're dirty but were dreaming
Whoa mule, whoa mule, we'll both get there someday

All you ramblers, you silk tongue gamblers
Listen to my tale
It won't take long, to sing you my song
Full of trouble and despair
So fair thee well, you troubadours
Whose pockets have no lining
I can tell you that all pastures stay green
But you know that I'd be lying

[Chorus]

My own true love is a raven haired girl
Whose lives way back down the hollow
I take her by her lily white hair
And into the woods we wonder
Her daddy was a river man
As mad as a hatter
Her mama she's as soft as snow
But that don't really matter

[Chorus]

Sometimes a road is rocky and hard
Full of dangers unrelenting
Just take great care to follow your stars
Let the good times come a plenty

[Chorus]

"Lions" (2001)

Midnight From The Inside Out Lyrics – The Black Crowes

You, with your fast and furlined mind
With your disregard of time, virtue, horizon
Here where the angels never sleep
Where the water's dark and deep
You breathe molasses

[Chorus:]
Midnight from the inside out
Turn around and they all fall down
Screaming red and the lights go out
Turn around and they all fall down

You, madness dripping from your tongue
While starting at the sun
You speak explosion
Up, with the flies around the moon
Needle, mirror, spoon and cotton candy

Lickin' Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Your eyes they look like two bullet holes
And you don't ever say maybe
You knock me out with the way you talk
I like the way you say "Baby"
You want a mouthful of scorpio
Yeah, but my poison be tasty
You bite my finger and say 'control'
You won't let me be lazy

[Chorus:]
Night and day like a mule I'm kickin'
Girl you gonna catch a lickin'

Fire out of the mouths of babes
Got you actin' so crazy
Doorknob queen of the underage
Got me rantin' and ravin'
See the bruise you left on my page
Now the game's getting tricky
Left alone in my own parade
While the bomb just keeps tickin'

[Chorus]

Do you want to do it all with me
Do you want to scream and bleed for me
You can have all of me, all of me
Your teeth taste just like razorblades
Yeah you got my tongue ready
You fill me up with your politics
And leave me so heavy

Come On Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Are you feeling me groove ya
Do it get right to ya
Do it creep right on up in your bones
We be frightfully righteous and
If you don't like us man
Take your ear holes and go home
Bye bye go home

We got just what you need
We brought you the remedy

[Chorus:]
Come on come on
Let's get this thing started
Come on come on
Everyone
Come on come on
You know we're right on it
Come on come on
It's on

We ain't foolin' we ain't playin'
Lay it down no complaining
Pick it up and break some for you
So get on up out your seat
Because you make this scene complete
And we really like to stick it to you
Yes we do

We got just what you need
Remember the remedy

[Chorus]

No Use Lying Lyrics – The Black Crowes

You come in the room and you close the door
And you let me see what you're really here for
Then you lay me down in an unmade bed
And you show me things that aren't easily said
Working in circles and twisting away
Making it hard to breathe
Touching my skin
I don't want it to end
I'm gone and you can't catch me

[Chorus:]
There's no use lying
Because I've heard all your bullshit before
You've said your old line for the very last time
Don't want you round my backdoor

She says my name and it takes me away
A kiss on my brow and I'm here to stay
When the clock chimes twelve
And we're down on the floor
She tells me things I've never heard before
Working in circles and twisting away
Making it hard to breathe
Touching my skin
I don't want it to end
I'm gone and you can't catch me

[Chorus]

Losing My Mind Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Every time I fall
I bring you along
Because I need you there
Every time I leave
For my selfish things
I know I'm wrong

No matter what I want to believe
Nothing like this comes easily

[Chorus:]
I love you, yes I love you
Even though I know I should stay away
Because I hate you, yes I hate you
Even though it looks like I'm going to stay
And I think that I'm losing my mind

My time in the dark
Was tearing me apart
And that's not okay
A man of blood and bones
Alone on his throne
could walk away
Oh how your web has been spun
And I'm out of my mind
And it ain't no fun

Ozone Mama Lyrics – The Black Crowes

It's a trip y'all
Git hip to this y'all
It will git ya'll
Gonna hit y'all
Never quit y'all
Right in the middle of our minds
The bug that bit y'all
Make ya itch y'all
Inch by inch y'all
Til your tall y'all
See it all y'all
Near and far y'all
We won't ever let it drag
This funny feeling got me reeling
Like I'm walking on the ceiling
Do it to me now

[Chorus:]
Ozone mama lay your daddy down
Under the stars right down on the ground
Mother nature got me thinking
'Bout the love that you've been bringin'
Do it to me now

C'mon the ride y'all
We provide y'all
It's like this y'all
Never miss y'all
Git up and go y'all

Well you got this poor boy thinking
Your lovin cup I've been drinking

Greasy Grass River Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Now I'm swimming in the greasy grass river
On my way to the black pearl sea
Yeah I'm floating down the greasy grass river
Come one child come with me
Life is so easy on greasy grass river
Just take my hand and we can pretend to be free
You wanna be
Free
Come on with me

Take me down to the greasy grass river
Wash my hands where the water is clean
Lay me down by the greasy grass river
And unfold my mystery
The greasy grass river has water that whispers
Let's listen closely while
She says she wants to be free
You wanna be
Free
You know what I mean?

[Outro:]
I'm out of my pocket and I'm out on my mind
I'm out of my pocket and I'm out on my mind
I'm out of my pocket and I'm out on my mind
I'm out of my pocket and I'm out on my mind

Soul Singing Lyrics – The Black Crowes

I've been down
Cascading and blue w/out a sound
Now I've traded my black feathers for a crown
So feed me milk & honey
Lay me down
Lay me down
Look around
Show me holy places not yet found
Let's disappear and we'll hide underground
We'll get high and we'll feel safe & sound
It comes around Arayayayound

[Chorus:]
You got my soul singing my soul singing
You got my soul singing my soul singing
You got my soul singing my soul singing
You got my soul singing my soul singing

Home bound
Tired of tired of running town to town
Tired of my heart turned upside down
Now my life's a smile not a frown
The sound
The sound

[Chorus]

Miracle To Me Lyrics – The Black Crowes

So come on off of your rooftop
Come on down to the street
I've got something to tell you
You're secret I will keep
Tell me why have you been crying
Why won't you look me in the eye
I'm just trying to help you
I just need to know why
Please won't you let me try

[Chorus:]
Be my secret, be my joy
Be a miracle to me
Be my lover, be my friend
Be a miracle to me

I want to sleep in your moonglow
In my mind you're smile I keep
Head over heels I go
Like a dream from a peaceful sleep
This time I know I'm in deep

[Chorus]

Young Man, Old Man Lyrics – The Black Crowes

It's been tough, livin rough
But you're here stay
Six feet under the ground
Is not as hard as it sounds OK
Gittin' high, seein' with three eyes on a rainy day
Been dusted, busted, blown away
Gittin' in your ear, nothin' to fear
Let the music play
Big or tall, it's gonna hit you all
Or get out the way
Come along baby, soundin' strong baby
What I say
We all got lines and at the end
We all gotta pay

[Chorus:]
Young man crazy
Old man wise
Some folks real
Some just jive
Young man crazy
Old man wise
Sun stars earth
Moon sky tides

Murder in mind and this time baby it's for real
Take the devil aside it's time to make the deal
Wash the blood if you want
But the truth you can't conceal
Gonna roll on driving wheel

[Chorus]

Cosmic Friend Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Down and dirty nappy
Tired sad nasty
It's not everlasting
It's bound to turn around
Need a little sweetness
A little reason to your rhyme
I got something for you
A little sugar for your mind
Hear the bells ringing
Send it down the line
Thank you for the sharing
I get you back next time

[Chorus:]
My friend the cosmos is calling
Sayin' we all should be shining

Don't you be a stranger
We like you hanging around
Be thankful of the laughter
Praise for the sound
When you're feelin lonely
You know just what to do
Put on track eleven
Get on with the groove

[Chorus]

Now we've reached the ending
I'm sad this song is gone
But we can start at the beginning
And we can all sing along

Down and dirty nappy
Tired sad nasty
It's not everlasting
It's bound to turn around

Cypress Tree Lyrics – The Black Crowes

So you found yourself a killer
The one with blue eyes
I guess the bloodstains on the blanket don't lie
Well I guess I saw it comin'
Like a boy I just kept runnin'
But through this crime I have survived

[Chorus:]
They're gonna hang you from the cypress tree
The crowd gonna cheer when they see you swing
Yeah they're gonna hang you from the cypress tree
Tell me now do you believe?

Glory Hallelujah
I raise my glass up to you
And I bow my head with utmost respect
But I think it's only fair to warn you
That there's a storm that's coming up on you
And like the wind and the rain
My words are direct

[Chorus]

It's a funny word 'friends'
You get beginnings and you got ends
I guess I'll see you when we're ashes again

Lay It All On Me Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Come on down crooked man
Step on up broken man
It's okay to cry troubled man
Just ease your worried mind and rest awhile

Do you remember when it started
You had a dream
Now you never talk about it
Your fame & riches were everything
No matter what the cost
Now you wish you hadn't blown it

Well lay it all on me
Lay it all on me

Come on down crooked man
Step on up broken man
It's okay to cry troubled man
Just ease your worried mind and rest awhile

I came to see how you were doing
It's been awhile
Lookin back over your shoulder
You were restless and you were wild
Always running away
Once was young now is older

Lay it all on me, lay it all on me

Come on down crooked man
Step on up broken man
It's okay to cry troubled man
Just ease your worried mind and rest awhile

"By Your Side" (1999)

Go Faster Lyrics – The Black Crowes

What kind of trouble did I get into?
Gotcha moving, gotcha moving

Not staying long just passing through
Keep you rolling, keep you rolling

I know the chemicals you like too
Gotcha moving, gotcha moving
And if you ask me nice
I'll take you to school
Keep you rolling, keep you rolling

I took all I need
I don't need no more
Then I'll take what I want
Until I want some more

You can't stop
Or I might pass ya
If you slow down
I'll out last ya
But when you're down
You won't find me laughing
Just one question I might ask ya
It might sound like a disaster
Can you make this thing go faster?

I know something baby we can do
Gotcha moving, gotcha moving
A pinch, a bite, a lick or maybe two
Keep you rolling, keep you rolling

Saw what I came to see
Don't want to see no more
I don't think it's diseased
But is sure is sore

Kickin' My Heart Around Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Just come out and say it
Spit the words out of your mouth
It needs no explaining
'Cuz we both felt it go south

Just stop kickin' my heart around
For the last time
Stop kickin' my heart around

Well I told you so
Not it's time to go
Got to get this show on the road
Just stop kickin' my heart around

In the beginning
There was no wrong you could do
Now in this ending
I can't stand looking at you

By Your Side Lyrics – The Black Crowes

When your lost
I am found
When you slip
I hold my ground
When I fall
Please take a bow
And when you're up
Just remember I am down

People looking for
Fortune and fame
They don't know
That it's all the same
It's like any other game
You know there's a loser
But it's alright

When you feel your heart is breaking
When all your friends are faking
When its giving and no taking
I will be by your side

I've been over the hill and back
Survived every kind of attack
It's been a few years at that
As a matter of fact

Good luck is just good luck
You don't go hungry if you got pot luck
I've been down
But never on my knees
I see the forest for the trees

Horsehead Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Horsehead go you bug eyed
Horsehead left the day for night
Horsehead ain't no dragonfly
Horsehead help you live a lie

You can not see the hole in front of you
And I will see you down if you want me to

You are blessed with just one life
All you are is what's inside
If you take, then step aside
Jesus gave until he died

Horsehead feel your soul fall
Horsehead gonna take a die
Horsehead ain't no good at all
Horsehead said you're gonna die

Only A Fool Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Your words buzz around my head
You make me feel warm again
You are my lover, my song, my best friend
I don't want this to ever end

You hold my heart in your hands
Our home is like a promised land
I just want you, just want you to understand

Only a fool would let you go
Only a fool and I should know
Only a fool would let you go
I need you so baby please don't go

When we're lying in our big old bed
We wake up just to fall asleep again
When I dream of the time we've spent
It makes me so happy I just can't quit

I see the love in your eyes
It will stay there the rest of our lives
And after that, and after that
And over and over and over again

Heavy Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Lordy baby could you tell me what's wrong with me
The way I feel nobody would believe
All these things that you do
You know they drive me out of my mind
And as mean as you are
You know you are my kind

They way you put on your clothes
The way you wiggle your toes
The way you scratch your nose
When you watch it grow

For the first time
I know you're mine
And if you want to know
I'll tell you so
What can I say
I just want you to stay
You're so heavy, you're so heavy

Lordy baby you do get under my skin
Who you kidding baby
You know I'll do it again
Lordy baby you left me black and blue
But that's okay because I know that you dig it too

The way you say hello
When you dig a hole
When you wear yellow
When you play your cello

The way your story goes
They way you make me glow
When you let it snow
What I knows I knows

Welcome To The Good Times Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Did it make you stop and think
You're on the brink
And not to test you 'cause you
Don't know how far you'd o
Did you make a big mistake
You curse your fate
And you wish you could leave this life
For just one day

Welcome to the goodtimes honey
Did you bring your own parade?
Welcome to the big time baby
Time for a serenade

Did you say you lost your pride?
You tried to hide
But you're not strong enough
To ever get away

And it only goes to show
What we all know
That the tables will surely turn
For you one day

It should come as no surprise
Just realize, that when it all comes down
Who is really on your side

Go Tell The Congregation Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Here I am
There I was
Here I go
Just follow me

If it was
Then it can
And we know
How it will be

When it was
Just because
Yes you know
It's not a dream

It's just all
C'mon y'all
I'll tell you
What I mean

When you want to lose your blues
Go tell the congregation
When there's nothing left that you can do
Go tell the congregation
When you want to tell the truth
Go tell the congregation
When the devil's got a hold of you
Go tell the congregation

Don't look back
Stay on track
It's a fact
A lesson to me

Keep in stride
With your pride
Now you know
How strong you can be

There's no time
Draw a line
Yes I know
That you can know me

Look alive
No surprise
Everybody wants to be free

"Everything is everything"

Diamond Ring Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Come on baby say my name
Well do you want to play a game
It feels so good it's almost pain
And every time is always the same

It could make a man insane
Well baby that's okay, that's okay

You're the reason I want to sing
You make me feel like a king
I love the sunshine that you bring
I think I'll buy you a diamond ring
A diamond ring
Baby baby say I do
And I'll spend my life with you

Baby lay down by my side
Baby don't you look divine
The way you smile should be a crime
You do it to me every time

It's a feeling that no one could deny
Baby tell me why
Tell me why

Then She Said My Name Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Let me tell you 'bout the book
That I've been reading
It's got all my favorite words
Let me tell you 'bout who I saw scheming
Ya better know it's not my girl

Let me tell ya 'bout what I've been seeing
It's the window to the world
Let me tell you 'bout the secret
I've been keeping
Said the oyster to the pearl

Are you sorry?
No not me
And tell me why should I be
Cause I've been knocked right off of my feet
And no I didn't even miss a beat

I never thought a love could be like this
Then she said my name
Now I'm wrapped around her finger
I'll never be the same

So let me tell ya 'bout the joke
That you've been living
Said the clown to the fool
Let me tell you 'bout
The wheEl that keeps on spinning
Said the teacher to the school

Are you worried?
Well could be, cause I'll tell you what I've seen
I've weathered storms that would sink most ships
Yes I know when to button my lip

Offer me a melody
Pour a cup of wine
Spill your deepest memory
And someday you'll be fine

Virtue And Vice Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Think of me
I'll think of you
We better think
This whole thing through
Sometimes I'm so clumsy

You talk to me
I'll talk to you
You cut the fat
And we'll both chew
You know we're both hungry

I feel so alive today
That's all that I wanted to say
I hope that it stays this way
If not I will be okay

Say another prayer
Save another life
Kiss me on my head
And tell me
Everything's alright
'Cause I can say it one
Or I can shout it twice
All there really is
Is virtue and vice
Virtue and vice

Cry to me
I'll cry to you
Sometimes the pain will only do
You know I'm not kidding

You laugh with me
I'll laugh with you
At all the stupid things we do
Tomorrow we'll be happy

It Must Be Over Lyrics – The Black Crowes

No matter what road I take
No matter what laws I break, I still
I keep singing these songs
No matter what my mistakes
No matter how high the stakes, I won't
I won't ever fold

And with time you'll see
You will forget about me
And I've already disowned you
From my memory
Can you see

I know it must be over
This love can last no longer
We both know that it must be over
Now I see

No matter what words I write
No matter no wrong nor right, you still
You listen anyway
No matter where I sleep tonight
No matter if the stars if the stars shine bright, I know
That I'm on my way

And with time you'll see
You will forget about me
And I've already disowned you
From my memory
Can you see

I know it must be over
This love can last no longer
We both know that it must be over
Now I see

Alone is just alone
Tell me what's a happy home
Tell me what's a wasted year
When you lose, when you lose all of your fears
Tell me

And with time you'll see
You will forget about me
And I've already disowned you
From my memory
Can you see

I know it must be over
This love can last no longer
We both know that it must be over
Now I see, now I see, now I....

I know, I know that it must over
This love can last no longer
We both know that it must be over
Now I see

You Don't Have To Go Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Well you wrote to me
And you made me see
That love is real, and it's not for me
And I promise you
Oh baby, when I am through
One all of my crazy days, I will take you away

You know I've nothing
That I've got nothing to hide
See, I've been a little
A little messed up inside

And it's alright with me
And it's easy to see
There's one thing that you out to know
It's just got me feeling out of control
Cause you took me to my soul
And baby you don't have to go

You don't have to leave, no, no

When you speak to me
It's like a dream
And I feel every word
And I know just what each word means, yes I do
When you sleep with me
Oh girl, the safety that it brings
In my heart, in my mind
I will love you for all time, yes I will

You know I've nothing
That I've got nothing to hide
I've been a little
A little messed up inside

And it's alright with me
And it's easy to see
There's one thing that out to know
It's just got me got me feeling out of control
Well you took me to my soul
And baby you don't have to go

Never go away

Don't ya know, don't ya know

Well if it's alright with me
And it's easy to see

You just got me feeling out of control
Because you took me to my soul
And baby, you don't have to go

"Three Snakes And One Charm" (1996)

Under A Mountain Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Never a heaven an age old question
Written from a cold place
I feel sour I need a shower
Or just a slap in the face
Circumstance has left romance
And a puzzle in front of me
Who knows the ending, if the truth need
Bending, A lie is the tool that you'll need

[Chorus]

So I'm under a mountain
Stuck to this mattress
Perfume and valium

What makes a Sunday different from Monday
Could be a look in her eyes
In need of flattery she changes batteries
So that her light will shine
The words she utters either so flows or
Stutters
They're either silly or wise
Anger with concern
But never to yearn
Only to be by your side

Lay down with number 13
Its a cold gray shame

Good Friday Lyrics – The Black Crowes

We've been avoiding this for so long
Luxury is temporary than it's gone
I thought that we would happen
I guess I'm wrong
We'll move along
I know this will be awkward
But not for long
Cause soon you'll have a new boy
To sing you songs

[Chorus]

I will not forgive you
Nor will I accept the blame
I will see you on Good Friday
On Good Friday

I'm sorry I couldn't do this yesterday
And tomorrow I am busy and what
It is I can't say
And Saturday's no good
I got a show
So it's got to be Good Friday
Then it's so long

[Bridge]

You, You come and go when you please
I know unfulfilled heads
I know you do too
But I, you know I never see
Things through,
Never paid attention to you
But honey I tried.

Nebakanezer Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Nebakanzer never knew
He left his needle outside in the rain
And it rusted through
He had twenty-nine blackbirds
But only one flew
Spent most of his time making holes
And licking his wounds
Nebakanezer lost his wife
She took her diamond rings and was
Gone before the light
She left one satin shoe and a
Very dull knife
She left one satin shoe and a very dull knife

[Chorus]

So tell us what the sorry singer
Might do
All of his friends complain
That they got the flu
They ain't sick in the head
They look like the living dead
And that's not cool

[Repeat 1st verse]

One Mirror Too Many Lyrics – The Black Crowes

From the moment you see
The moment you breath
The moment I touch you

From the moment you crawl
The moment you fall
The instant I loved you again

From the moment of darkness
The moment of light
The second I kissed you

From the moment I enter
The moment I leave
In this moment of rapture

[Chorus]

One mirror to many gonna tie you up
A life forever empty has got to be tough
To many starless night gonna leave you blind
Can never make it right

From the moment you stumble
The moment you run
In your presence I crumble
From the moment it happens
The moment you know
There's no life without you

Blackberry Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Hey Blackberry, How you taste so sweet
Hey Blackberry, tell me what you see
Tell me is it interesting
Hey Blackberry pay some attention to me
Hey Blackberry look at my bumblebee
Hey Blackberry you know he never stings
And he only hums for me

[Chorus]

I need some L-O-V-E-N to make me happy
You got to be L-U-C-K-Y to git
With a girl like Blackberry

Hey my cherry,coming up my street
Hey my cherry, you make it hard to breath
Look what you've done to me
Hey my cherry, be sure to keep your nose clean

Girl From A Pawnshop Lyrics – The Black Crowes

With a pawnshop eyes and a second hand frown
She sat silent at the table
Her boots were brown,
Well, should she leave town
To play the role of lover expatriate
A nod to the waiter, always her flirty behavior,
You know she always gets one on the house
And she pulls out a letter
From a bag that's under her sweater
And before she reads she
Straightens her blouse

There's a passion in being alone
A grace in a loveless time
There is no new cross
There is no new sign
Only the sun and the changing tide

Out of respect
Well, I really must confess
I never lost your number
I never lost your address
And if we remain friends at best
Sometime later no, no not yet
We'll smile and remember it like this

She put back the letter
One tear falls like a feather
And disappears
On the bar room floor
The gratuity included
You know, the letter concluded
P.S. All my love

There's a passion in being alone
A grace in a loveless time
There is no new cross
There is no new sign
Only the sun and the changing tide

Out of respect
Well, I really must confess
I never lost your number
I never lost your address
We remain friends at best
Sometime later no, no not yet
We'll smile and remember it like this

Well, I won't remember your name

I said, P.S. All my love
I said, P.S. All my love
P.S. All my love
I gotta say P.S. All my love
Yeah, All my love...

(Only) Halfway To Everywhere Lyrics – The Black Crowes

You could be so energy
Electricity
You could be lightening
You could be anything
A masterpiece
A revolutionary
You can see what, you want to see
Can you let it be?
Learn or teach

[Chorus]

I'm only halfway to everywhere

I'm thinking positively
Positively
This is possible
They can say right or wrong
Never hear this song
Or look you in the eye
I'm getting rid of negativity
Lose the loss in me
Call it equality
Good luck is a frame of mind
Call it humankind
And say it's destiny

Bring On, Bring On Lyrics – The Black Crowes

What could I do different?
It makes one sober to think
In an age of illusion
It's hard to know when to stop
How could I live indifferent
Believing in time and fate
As long as I have a witness
My name is not at stake

[Chorus]

Bring on this flowering
Bring on, Bring on
Bring on this flowering
Bring on thou words cannot describe
It's hard waiting for heaven
May your song keep you alive

[Chorus]

And on the day I said good-bye
My drowning tear catches a light
Like the gift of sight
The baby's eye, darkness into light
I can rest my soul and
Walk in the light
I'm positively spring time
The gift of sight
The baby's eye
Darkness into light

How Much For Your Wings? Lyrics – The Black Crowes

How much for your wings?
How much for your wings?
Well it comes and it goes
How much for your wings?
And it's high and low
How much for your wings?
I can name a price
How much for your wings?
Many forget their pride

[Chorus]

If I were you and and you were me
We'd know
And could it be what you perceive
Is wrong?
And what I mean what wrong could be
I don't know
I'm not naive but I believe
So I may grow

How much for your wings?
The soul you kiss good-bye
How much for your wings?
Watch the stars collide

How does it feel
When you're the only one?

Let Me Share The Ride Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Hey there buddy
Slow down for me
I'm friendly and I'm clean
I will not rob you or cause you misery
Your wheels sound good to me
I ain't green with travel
As you can see
I only got one bag
If I am trouble drop me off
In Abilene
I'll pay my gasoline

[Chorus]

Let me share the ride
Let me share the ride

It's hard living on travel time
Please let me share your ride

I never was a young man
Never felt old
This life is a mystery
My coffee's hot not cold
I'll turn your dashboard gold
Slow down take a look at me

I'm not not running from anything
I've no past to hide
I've got no secrets haunting me
I just easy ride

Better When You're Not Alone Lyrics – The Black Crowes

I love you in the worst way
The only way I know
They say the clearer the water
The more that it shows
They say the deeper the river
The stronger the love
Your eyes don't lie to me
And your smile is worth its weight in gold

[Chorus]

This Life, this life aches
And this life moans
This life is great, this life is great
And it's better when you're
Not alone,
Not alone

You love me in the worst way
The only way you know
They say the higher the mountain
The more love that grows
They say the stronger the wind blows
The farther we'll go
I hope you don't lie to me
There's nothing better than your
Touch

How many times does this happen two people
Like us meet
As I try to be humble and lay
Down at your feet

Evil Eye Lyrics – The Black Crowes

This is illegal
Thru an evil eye
And I won't deceive you
This I testify
You all know the reason why
I won't enslave you

A little bliss forever
I'm not afraid to love you
A little bliss forever

[Chorus]

Look at the world with an evil eye
Your cold heart won't let you cry
Try to make a change in the wink of an eye
Do you have it in you to even try?

Jesus can't save you
Though it's nice to think he'd try
This is not to scare you
This is to make sense of your time
Do prophets speak in rhymes?
Then you die!

Just Say You're Sorry Lyrics – The Black Crowes

It ain't funny
It ain't cute
Can't be conceit, there's an ??
Oh no, but things dont' work that way baby
Dont' click your heels
Don't give a hoot
Don't want a twenty-one gun salute
Never do

You suggested that we bury the ??
Remember this reminder when you start to get cold
You think you'll only mind
Just wait until you're old

Too ugly for beauty

Baby shakes his rattle
'Cos he's emptied his bowl
Don't know what he's eating
But he does what he's told
Oh yes he does
They all say the boy be crazy
You suggested that we bury the ??
Remember this reminder when you start to get cold
You think you'll only mind
Just wait until you're old
Just say you're sorry
And I'll say I'm wrong
Just say you're sorry
And I'll say I'm wrong

Mellow Down Easy Lyrics – The Black Crowes

You jump jump here
You jump jump there
You jump jump jump everywhere
Then you mellow down easy
Mellow down easy
You mellow down easy when you really wanna blow your top

You shake shake here
You shake shake there
You shake shake shake everywhere
Then you mellow down easy
Mellow down easy
You mellow down easy when you really wanna blow your top

You wiggle wiggle here
You wiggle wiggle there
You wiggle wiggle wiggle everywhere
Then you mellow down easy
Mellow down easy
You mellow down easy when you really wanna blow your top

Gone Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Save me
From this season's dead air
Take me
Blind naked scared
Want you to burn me, burn me baby
Cover your eyes with my ashes
C'mon why don't you pray for me
Sit back and watch my divine spark flash
[Chorus:]
Gone
Good riddance I'm gone
Gone in a wasted way
Wasted my way I'm gone
Push and pull on me baby
With your fingernails full of fur
I want you to stab me
Do it, do it, 'cause you know it don't hurt
[Chorus]
Jinx me, jinx me baby
Beautiful like a fool
C'mon and remove me
Dilated and burned
[Chorus]

A Conspiracy Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Did you ever hear
The one about last year
It was all a lie
Ain't it funny how the time flies
What we gonna do baby
What is left for us to prove
I've never stolen nothing, not a thing
Tried to stay away form this year's
Big thing
Ain't as easy as it seems
To find a mutual dream
Can you tell me wrong from right
Do you know when to freeze or take flight
Can you tell me more or less
I got to know-confess
[Chorus:]
Don't neglect me
Come be my conspiracy
Don't neglect me
Come be my conspiracy
Now you got a question about your answer
Say try your Adam's apple
You talk it try it bite it right
So now you want to fight? ok
Let's step outside
I got tradition in addition
My definition it don't hold me back
Well what you think about that
What you don't understand
This is a very old land
Can you tell me wrong from right
Do you know when to freeze or take flight
Can you tell me more or less
I got to know-confess
[Chorus]

High Head Blues Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Sometimes I have a ghetto in my mind
Other times sunshine high head fine
In between I get cold, old mean
Intertwined with country pride open and kind
This draws a line
Sorry to coin a phrase
On either side is wisdom and rage
So keeping track of time
Racing with my age
Sleeping with the snakes
Forget that you showed up late
It ain't worth it baby
[Chorus:]
A charmed life it is
At least they tell yo so
I got a good idea
It ain't like they say is so
And if it is then let me go
Let me go
Any day there might be hell to pay
But in other ways
It makes it seem ok
I'll tell you what I mean
It's not a plot nor a scheme
It's just peace in my mind
Again can I use the word kind
I ain't sorry about it baby
[Chorus]

Cursed Diamond Lyrics – The Black Crowes

I lose myself
I forget myself
Sometimes I fault myself
I might fight myself
But then I make amends
I freeze myself
Rain on myself
OK, so I stone myself
And I might even find myself
But then again what happens if I do
So unzip my pride
Open me up wide
So I can show this to you
[Chorus:]
I want to shine for you
I want to sparkle too
Just like a diamond cursed
Well you know it don't get worse
You know that I'll save you time
Your trouble now is mine
Hold me baby
Hold me girl
And I will laugh with you
If you want me to
Roll me in your splendor
I'll envy your surrender
And show you victory
I hate myself
Doesn't everybody hate themselves
I scare myself
Then I tell myself it's all in my mind
So I let the poison go
'Cause I always know
It will be there for me
[Chorus]

Nonfiction Lyrics – The Black Crowes

I don't know my telephone number
But you kiss good and I'd like to
See you tomorrow
And I don't beg, I pay, I don't barter
And if we had a child I'd like a son,
Not a daughter
'Cause she'd be just like you
You know that would not do
I'm no builder, I'm no gardener
I sing some songs, have a friend
Who's a photographer
There ain't no other language
I know how to speak
Some like their water shallow
And I like mine deep
Tied to the bottom
With a noose around my feet
[Chorus:]
The clouds conspire
Above my head
I overheard them
Say I wish he was dead
Today the sunset
Burned my eyes
And in the next room I hear someone cry
I like to dress up like the jury
To eat like a king, to poke fun at clergy
To talk like dirt
To love yo like tar
But never fall in too fast
With my north star
While you pull your hair out
I buy the drinks at the bar
[Chorus]

She Gave Good Sunflower Lyrics – The Black Crowes

I've been lost in the headlights
All night long
Said I've felt taller, yes I heard
The dealer's song
Say babe don't mark me absent
I only missed out by a fraction
Be the sun that bursts through my clouds
It's hard enough just living on this ground
[Chorus:]
Say don't pretend to me
I beg and I plead, your sunflower I need
Thought nothing would surprise me
I was wrong now I see
Come on baby and just do me if you please
This made me reminiscing
About the honey we made
I feel warm in your blizzard
And your flood I crave
I won't abuse my anger
I promise you no lecture
Come be the sun bursting through my clouds
It's hard enough just living on the ground
[Chorus]

P.25 London Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Here with me
And this price you pay
Just a wishful dream could be blown away
Ask yourself for better or worse
Because what's the use if it's just good luck
A black cat has crossed my path
Tell me what's good luck about that
[Chorus:]
Hate and greed
Swollen and sweet
Let's start this misery
If that's where you wanna be
Fear and love
From down or form up above
Come to me
Come to me
I bet you please
Come set me free
Excuse me please
For my definition
But deeper still are my convictions
Urgently I wait to hear an answer
While I misconduct
A sad lost anthem
An anthem like you have never heard
Have you heard something so absurd
[Chorus]

Ballad In Urgency Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Here with me
And this price you pay
Just a wishful dream could be blown away
Ask yourself for better or worse
Because what's the use if it's just good luck
A black cat has crossed my path
Tell me what's good luck about that
[Chorus:]
Hate and greed
Swollen and sweet
Let's start this misery
If that's where you wanna be
Fear and love
From down or form up above
Come to me
Come to me
I bet you please
Come set me free
Excuse me please
For my definition
But deeper still are my convictions
Urgently I wait to hear an answer
While I misconduct
a sad lost anthem
An anthem like you have never heard
Have you heard something so absurd
[Chorus]

Wiser Time Lyrics – The Black Crowes

No time left now for shame
Horizon behind me, no more pain
Windswept stars blink and smile
Another song, another mile
You read the line every time
Ask me about crime in my mind
Ask me why another read song
Funny but I bet you never left home
[Chorus:]
On a good day, it's not every day
We can part the sea
And on a bad day, it's not every day
Glory beyond our reach
Seconds until sunrise
Tired but wiser for the time
Lightning 30 miles away
Three thousand more in two days
[Chorus]

Downtown Money Waster Lyrics – The Black Crowes

To my low down downtown
Money waster
Your only saving grace
Is that I like to taste ya
But your flower is spoiled
Too easy to make ya
You got a .38 and your book of revelations
I got a .44 and a lead of temptation
[Chorus:]
I am a rounder, like to round around
Two for one at the store on the corner
Little girl like to drink and sniffin' powders
Like the bars that stay open after hours
Like the boys that go 24-7
Too many late nights and you don't go to heaven
[Chorus]

Descending Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Have mercy baby
I'm descending again
Open your eyes
This time it's sink or it's swim
No sermons on ascending
No verdict on deceit
No selfish memorandum
No confusion for me
[Chorus:]
Curses
Curses and clues
A feast for fools
Have mercy baby
And hand me downs
It was just a few years ago
You'd hand me ups and map
Right out of town
But I would let it slide
Like mercury
Silver and quick
Poisonous and deadly
So deadly

Song Of The Flesh Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Curse the wicked whisper here in this ear
Make my honey
Grind that salt before the rains come this year
Make it all muddy

So now you have called
And now you want to ring my neck
Oh baby you talk so tight
Tell me now who's all wet

I could kiss your promiscuous mind

My flesh is yours and there is nothing to fear
Make us all alone
Wind your watch and bless all my prayers
Make ready to get home

Oh now you get so hard
Now you ring my neck
Now you wanna talk so tight
Tell me who's all wet

I could kiss your promiscuous mind
I could kiss your promiscuous mind

Yes I could

I have four lone stars
That you have given me

Yeah, why don't you give it baby
Well, the feeling you're giving baby
Tell me, what you give away
Give it, give it, give it

Tied Up And Swallowed Lyrics – The Black Crowes

I forgot I found you tied up and swallowed
A mess with the magic and the knot
You touch my teeth and say you like the way I bite ya
Sin, skin, sounds wrong but it's not

[Chorus:]
Everybody says that you're such a pity
Well baby, they, they out to know
Everybody says you're such a pity
Tell ya baby, they, they out to know

Touch from up above and touch between your legs
But which one, baby, burns
So you've been touched so many times so many ways
Come on baby, who gets hurt

[Chorus]

See ya

[Chorus]

Sting Me Lyrics – The Black Crowes

If you feel like a riot, then don't you deny it
Put your good foot forward
No need for heroics I just want you to show it
Now's the time to shine
Your independence is a half ass deliverance
The train left the station
The recognition of the same old condition
Your symptoms showing through

Well regardless of the truth
You still act so aloof
In the face of your judge & jury
You nave the nerve to say not guilty

But can you sting me
Can you sting me
Right to my rotten bones

Well the bells ring out for the crimes of the century
By courtesy of your mother
The signs reads welcome to the valley of discovery
Look at what money can buy
Sons & daughters better open your eyes
Tell me what you're seeing
This submission is a tired tradition
It's everyone's sacrifice

Well believe you me
I've got nothing up my sleeve
Except a heart and a chip on my shoulder
Yes I'm young and don't like getting older

Yeah but can you sting me
Can you sting me
Right to my rotten bones

Come on my sweet little thing
What new things can you show me today
I got one question
I believe it's subjective
What is a wasp without her sting?

I don't want to sound bitter
Yeah you touch me just like murder
Living ain't so easy
When all I want from you is to sting me

Can you sting me

Remedy Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Baby, baby why can't you sit still?
Who killed that bird out on you window sill?
Are you the reason that he broke his back?
Did I see you laugh about that?
If I come on like a dream?
Would you let me show you what I mean?
If you let me come on inside?
Will you let it glide?

Can I have some remedy?
Remedy for me please.
Cause if I had some remedy
I'd take enough to please me.

Baby, baby why did you dye your hair?
Why you always keeping with your mother's dare?
Baby why's who's who, who know you too?
Did the other children scold on you?
If I come on like a dream?
Would you let me show you what I mean?
If you let me come on inside?
Will you let it slide?

Thorn In My Pride Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Wake me when the day breaks
Show me how the sun shines
Tell me about your heartaches
Who could be so unkind?
Do you dream to touch me?
And smile down deep inside
Or could you just kill me?
Hey, it's hard to make up your mind sometimes.

My angels, my devils, my thorn in my pride
My angels, my devils, my thorn in my pride

Are you wanting inspiration?
You spill your secrets on me
Then you tell me with a whisper
Of things that will never be.
Do you hear me breathing?
Does it make you want to scream?
Did you ever like a bad dream?
Sometimes life is obscene.

My angels, my devils, my thorn in my pride
My angels, my devils, my thorn in my pride
My angels, my devils, my thorn in my pride

Lover, cover me with your sleep
Let your love light shine, let it shine
Lover, cover me with a good dream
Oh, let your love light
Oh, let your love light shine

Oh, I wanna know, do you ever wanna let it shine?
Do you ever wanna let it shine, baby?
Your love light, your love light
Listen, lover, cover me with your sleep
Let your love light shine, let it shine

Lover, cover me with your sleep
Let your love light shine, let it shine
Lover, cover me with your dream
Let your love light shine, let it shine

Thorn in my pride

Bad Luck Blue Eyes Goodbye Lyrics – The Black Crowes

With my winter time
My idols and stage fright
In another night
Where the lights are loud and bright

One dream from waking up saved
Too shy to hold in the rage

I know no luxury
Of knowing what your eyes read
I know one million ways
To always pick the wrong thing to say

A love that you never gave
Always a time zone away
It's not out of spite
I know what's right

Bad Luck Blue Eyes Goodbye

Sometimes a memory
Only sees what it wants to believe
And what's filled in between
Are days and nights that don't mean a thing

Such a simple suicide
A second chance never tried
And you don't understand
I need a helping hand

So you think that you've seen it all
Is that a fact?
So out your mouth a dictionary
Spouts about this and that
You got your do's, your don'ts
Because and why
I don't trust no one who don't
Take their own advice

Bad Luck Blue Eyes Goodbye

Sometimes Salvation Lyrics – The Black Crowes

To lessen my troubles
I stopped hanging out with relatives
And empty saviours like you
I wish I had a nickel for every miracle
That you easily tricked me into

You can lead a horse to water
But faith is another matter
So don't you surrender
Cause sometimes salvation
In the eye of the storm

I've no time for accusations
Or conversations on all the bad, bad things you do.
Just a note from your jailor
Drugs and the relations
To all the people around you

You can lead a horse to water
But faith is another matter
So don't you surrender
Cause sometimes salvation
In the eye of the storm

I've kept secret your superstitions
And all its twisted wisdom
That I fell into

Sister can you try and find me?

Hotel Illness Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Oh good heavens, baby where's my medicine?
I must have left it outside with my etiquette
The undertaker's rule of thumb
It's hard to talk with a novocain tongue

This room smells like hotel illness
The scars I hide are now your business
I can't seem to make hair nor hide of this
No baby love is not a punishment.

Hypnotize by your rotten behavior
This week's fashion is last year's flavor
I got a head full of sermons and a mouth full of spiders
The politics of the world's greatest liar

So tell me baby is it true all those things that they say about you...

Black Moon Creeping Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Sleeping eyes sleep awhile
And let me get to know your language
If I believe all I see
I would hate to be around for the dawn
Sleeping eyes stay awhile
And give me some cause to rejoice
A parody of the scene
Where my three wishes were granted to me

What you got buried? In your backyard
What secret do you sleep with when the black moon come

Sleeping eyes please come clean
I'm not giving you the third degree
When you live with no man's time
Ain't it hard to find some peace of mind
Sleeping eyes don't you cry
And don't pretend this is not an ending
Your history yes it seems
Has been swept out with the leaves

No Speak No Slave Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Rooster crows at the break of dawn
A mother dies without her only son
A doctor laughs in the face of disease
I never once heard a preacher say please

And you, you want to be heard
But none of us understand a word
And you, you want to be free
Then don't speak like a slave to me.

Policemen who break the laws
Politicians rise and fall
A baby crying for its mothers milk
A daddy's secret hidden guilt

And you, you want to be heard
But none of us understand a word
And you, you want to be free
Then don't speak like a slave to me.

My Morning Song Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Dizzy found me last night
Saw some kind of new light
I woke up in a whirlwind
Just you watch my head spin
The spectacle that made you cry
It's a thrill a minute plane ride
It's over time at ring side, no lie

March me down to the seven seas
Bury me with a ruby ring
Kiss me baby on an Easter Sunday day
Make my haze blow away

I hide I seek and I find
Truth in a fable faith in a rhyme
So why you want to bad talk me
Are you surprised by what we see?
Like the tables and the tides turn
On my bed the emperor worn
Is that enough for me, could be

If music got to free your mind
Just let it go cause you never know, you never know
If your rhythm ever falls out of time
You can bring it to me and I will make it alright
And if your soul is let go
Oh you never know, no you never know
And if your heart is beating free
For the very first time it'll be alright

Time Will Tell Lyrics – The Black Crowes

JAH would never give the power to a baldhead
Run come crucify the dread

Time alone, oh! time will tell
Think you're in heaven but you're living in hell
Think you're in heaven but you're living in hell
Think you're in heaven but you're living in hell
Time alone, oh! time will tell
Think you're in heaven but you're living in hell

Back them up, oh not the brothers
But the ones, who set them up

Time alone, oh! time will tell
Think you're in heaven but you're living in hell
Think you're in heaven but you're living in hell
Think you're in heaven but you're living in hell
Time alone, oh! time will tell
Think you're in heaven but you're living in hell

Oh children weep no more
Oh my sycamore tree, saw the freedom tree
Saw you settle the score
Oh children weep no more
Weep no more, children weep no more

JAH would never give the power to a baldhead
Run come crucify the dread

Time alone, oh! time will tell
Think you're in heaven but you're living in hell
Think you're in heaven but you're living in hell
Think you're in heaven but you're living in hell
Time alone, oh! time will tell
Think you're in heaven but you're living in hell

Sting Me (Slow) Lyrics – The Black Crowes

If you feel like a riot, then don't you deny it
Put your good foot forward
No need for heroics I just want you to show it
Now's the time to shine
Your independence is a half ass deliverance
The train left the station

But can you sting me
Can you sting me

99 lbs. Lyrics – The Black Crowes

Twenty-five pounds of pure cane sugar
She's got in each and every kiss
You wouldn't know what I'm talking 'bout
If you never had a love like this
Well, I don't mean to be frank with you all
It's a natural fact
Good things come wrapped up in small, small packages now
Well you can't argue with that
Oh, oh, yeah
Ninety-nine pounds of natural born goodness
Ninety-nine pounds of soul, oh, oh
Ninety-nine pounds of natural born goodness
Ninety-nine pounds of soul
Twenty-five pounds of tenderness
She got in each and every touch
Twenty-five pounds of understanding my woman
'Cause I was the one running 'round town worrying too much
Twenty-four pounds of Sunday
That I can't see, yeah
And it all adds up to ninety-nine big pounds
Oh, I'm talking about a feline friend
Ninety-nine pounds of natural born goodness
Ninety-nine pounds of soul
Ninety-nine pounds of natural born goodness
Ninety-nine pounds of soul
Ninety-nine pounds of natural born goodness
Ninety-nine pounds of soul
Ninety-nine pounds of natural born goodness
Ninety-nine pounds of soul
Ninety-nine pounds of natural born goodness
Ninety-nine pounds of soul
Ninety-nine pounds of natural born goodness
Ninety-nine pounds of soul
