All my life I've been a travellin' man I had a gal, I couldn't get her off my mind His game is rambling when he gets the chance Guess I'll travel, guess I'll let her be (Arthur Blake, adapted by Ry Cooder) Stayin' alone and doing the best I can I ship my

You've got to be the best You've got to change the world And you use this chance to be heard Your time is now Everything you are And everything you were Your number has been called

And since the day I left Milwaukee Lyncheburg Bordeaux, France And helping white people dance You had some of the best times You'll never remember with me Alcohol, alcohol Been making the bars With lots of big money I got you in trouble in high school

'Cause you're simply the best I call you when I need you And my heart's on fire You come to me, come to me Wild and wired You come to me, give me everything I need You bring a lifetime of promises And a world of dreams You speak the language of love

You can’t rewind to yesterday You might never find your place In the time that remains So if tomorrow never comes If I’m living fast and dying young I hope the best is yet to come In the time that remains for you 'Cause you can’t relive the pain The time

It's just the lights coming on It's so easy to set off The molecules and the caplets They all have something against me Nothing I do makes me feel different This one's like your sister's best friends In a bath calling you to join them Can't avoid them

If I believe in love And you believe in love Then we can be in love somehow If you want the best for us Like I want the best for us Then we gotta learn to trust right now Sometimes the heart can see what's invisible to the eye All you gotta do is Listen

No kind of life! this is no kind of life! (I've got to get out!) It's no kind of life! this is no kind of life! (You can't blame me!) My freedom is best Whole country's on house arrest And everyone's a suspect You can't feel the flow because you died

Oh it's a shame It's a shame And now you release what you're feeling But how is this supposed to ever be the same Well you got the best of me You know it's a shame, oh Oh I tried to get to you Pushed in the end to break me through

And since the day I left Milwaukee Lyncheburg Bordeaux, France And helping white people dance You had some of the best times You'll never remember with me Alcohol, alcohol Been making the bars With lots of big money I got you in trouble in high school
