Sugar City on a drunk Make or break that's for sure Chips are down, life in a trunk Sugar City be the cure Rolling out of Sugar City Off my feet on Bullet Street Gamblin' joints showed no pity Personal best beat retreat I took them on and I lost Now it's time to avoid the cost It's a hard road to walk I know With a hat-full of rain and snow With...Learn More

Eagle Mountain Deep in the night A smuggler's plane Flying low Crashed in a storm Lay out of sight Buried in fresh Winter snow Ascending high Descending higher Good times roll 'round the bend Well they all got rich Then they all got poor Before that summer Came to an end Early in spring Before climbers found it Their backpacks The talk of the...Learn More

I walked a mile, ran a mile Hitched a mile, paused awhile Smiled like a neon sign Those coming on whistles blowing down the line Tramplin dust through every town Stormcracked and scuffled down Thanks for these boots of mine Those coming on whistles blowing down the line There's a land I'm thinking Big pictures they appeared Wide open spaces For...Learn More

Step aside For the heavy rollers Give the bird To the crazies that holler Many country miles Left to roam In a place Where nobody goes In a place Nobody knows Hard scrabbling man A-travelling home How times have changed Nobody Not a soul No one buys The desperate smile Least my boots Can see out the miles Getting blinded By flashing chrome I'm a...Learn More

A symphony of guns through the canyon Ragged pony men hunting for the head Of an outlaw from distant sands Gang of four he led from those lands North to steal a fortune, now his gang lay dead Picture palaces, souped up cars, cathedral shopping malls Best food, clothes and shelter, them folk got the lot The weary sheriff shouted, 'Game's up You've...Learn More

All these roads are going I could do with a change Gone past my knowing The vibes have gotten strange Walk through my old town Places where we'd play They should still be here But, no, they've gone away Something new from the base of old Give me something new from the base of old It all moved too fast New faces on the scene Got crowded out No...Learn More

Took industrial amounts of medicine The streets became a zoo But they played damn good rock n roll Made you feel their feelings too I'm raising up the dinosaurs This world needs the troubadours With new instruments of power Show us what we're looking for Raising up the dinosaurs This world needs the troubadours Give them their time back in the...Learn More
