Dirty Life And TimesWritten by Warren Zevon
Some days I feel like my shadow's casting me Some days the sun don't shine Sometimes I wonder what tomorrow's gonna bring When I think about my dirty life and times One day I came to a fork in the road Folks, I just couldn't go where I was told Now they'll hunt me down and hang me for my crimes If I tell about my dirty life and times I had someone 'til she went out for a stroll Should have run after her It's hard to find a girl with a heart of gold When you're living in a four-letter world And if she won't love me then her sister will She's from Say-one-thing-and-mean-another's-ville And she can't seem to make up her mind When she hears about my dirty life and times Some days I feel like my shadow's casting me Some days the sun don't shine Sometimes I wonder why I'm still running free All up and down the line Gets a little lonely, folks, you know what I mean I'm looking for a woman with low self-esteem To lay me out and ease my worried mind While I'm winding down my dirty life and times Who'll lay me out and ease my worried mind While I'm winding down my dirty life and times Warren Zevon vocals & acoustic guitar Ry Cooder guitar Don Henley drums Jorge Calderón bass Billy Bob Thornton background vocals Dwight Yoakam background vocals 2.

Disorder In The HouseWritten by Warren Zevon & Jorge Calderón
Disorder in the house The tub runneth over Plaster's falling down in pieces by the couch of pain Disorder in the house Time to duck and cover Helicopters hover over rough terrain Disorder in the house Reptile wisdom Zombies on the lawn staggering around Disorder in the house There's a flaw in the system And the fly in the ointment's gonna bring the whole thing down The floodgates are open We've let the demons loose The big guns have spoken And we've fallen for the ruse Disorder in the house It's a fate worse than fame Even the Lhasa Apso seems to be ashamed Disorder in the house The doors are coming off the hinges The earth will open and swallow up the real estate I just got my paycheck I'm gonna paint the whole town grey Whether it's a night in Paris or a Fresno matinee It's the home of the brave and the land of the free Where the less you know the better off you'll be Disorder in the house All bets are off I'm sprawled across the davenport of despair Disorder in the house I'll live with the losses And watch the sundown through the portiere Warren Zevon vocals Bruce Springsteen electric guitar & background vocals Jim Keltner drums Jorge Calderón acoustic guitar & bass 3.

Knockin' On Heaven's DoorWritten by Bob Dylan
Mama, take this badge off of me I can't use it anymore. It's gettin' dark, too dark to see And I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door. Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Mama, put my guns in the ground I can't shoot them anymore. That long black cloud is comin' down I feel like I'm knockin' on heaven's door. Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Knock, knock, knockin' on heaven's door Warren Zevon vocals Tommy Shaw 12 string acoustic guitar & background vocals Randy Mitchell slide guitar & background vocals Brad Davis electric guitar & background vocals Steve Gorman drums Jorge Calderón bass & background vocals John Waite background vocals Billy Bob Thornton background vocals 4.

Numb As A StatueWritten by Warren Zevon & Jorge Calderón
I'm numb as a statue I may have to beg, borrow or steal Some feelings from you So I can have some feelings too I'm pale as a ghost You know what I love about you That's what I need the most I'm gonna beg, borrow or steal Some feelings from you I'm gonna beg, borrow or steal So I can have some feelings too I don't care if it's superficial You don't have to dig down deep Just bring enough for the ritual Get here before I fall asleep Ain't nothing special When the present meets the past I've always taken care of business I've paid my first and last Warren Zevon vocals & piano David Lindley lapsteel guitar Jim Keltner drums Jorge Calderón bass, maracas & background vocals 5.

She's Too Good For MeWritten by Warren Zevon
I could hold my head up high and say that I left first Or I can hang my head and cry Tell me which is worse If you go and ask her why She might say she's not sure Trust me when I tell you I'm not good enough for her I want her to be happy I want her to be free I want her to be everything she couldn't be with me I'd wait here for a thousand years if she'd come back to me I have everything she wants but nothing that she needs I want her to be happy I want her to be free I want her to be everything she couldn't be with me I could hold my head up high and say that I left first Or I can hang my head and cry Tell me which is worse If you go and ask her why She might say she's not sure Trust me when I tell you I'm not good enough for her Warren Zevon vocals & acoustic guitar Luis Conte congas & maracas Jorge Calderón bass Don Henley background vocals Timothy B.

Prison GroveWritten by Warren Zevon & Jorge Calderón
An icy wind burns and scars Rushes in like a fallen star Through the narrow space Between these bars Looking down on Prison Grove Dug in, hunkered down Hours race without a sound Gonna carry me to where I'm bound Looking down on Prison Grove Iron will hard as rock Hold me up for the fateful knock When they walk me down in a mortal lock Out on Prison Grove Shine on all these broken lives Shine on Shine the light on me Knick Knack Paddy Wack They say you'll hear your own bones crack When they bend you back to bible black Then you'll find your love Some folks have to die too hard Some folks have to cry too hard Take one last look at the prison yard Goodbye Prison Grove Shine on all these broken lives Shine on Shine the light on me Warren Zevon vocals Ry Cooder slide guitar David Lindley elecctric saz & background vocals Jorge Calderón electric guitar & background vocals Reggie Hamilton upright bass Jim Keltner drums Jordan Zevon background vocals Bruce Springsteen background vocals Jackson Browne background vocals Billy Bob Thornton background vocals T-Bone Burnett background vocals | 1.

El Amor De Mi VidaWritten by Warren Zevon & Jorge Calderón
I close my eyes, you reappear I always carry you inside, in here I fall asleep, you come to me And once again our love is real How could I have let you get away Why couldn't I have found a way to say "Tu eres el amor de mi vida [You are the love of my life] Si solo te pudiera encontrar [If only I could find you] Con todo el corazon te diria [With all my heart I would tell you] Tu eres mi amor de verdad" [you are my true love] I look outside, I know you're there And you've found a brand new life somewhere I only wish it had been us But I'm happy for your happiness How could I ever let you go How will I ever let you know "Tu eres el amor de mi vida [You are the love of my life] Si solo te pudiera encontrar [If only I could find you] Con todo el corazon te diria [With all my heart I would tell you] Tu eres mi amor de verdad" [you are my true love] "Tu eres mi amor, [You are my love] tu eres mi amor, [You are my love] tu eres mi amor de verdad" [You are my true love] "Tu eres mi amor, [You are my love] tu eres mi amor, [You are my love] tu eres mi amor de verdad" [You are my true love] Warren Zevon vocals Jorge Calderón Spanish vocals Reggie Hamilton upright bass Jim Keltner drums Luis Conte bongos James Raymond piano 2.

Please StayWritten by Warren Zevon
Please stay Please stay Two words I've thought I'd never learn to say Don't go away Please stay Don't leave me here When so many things so hard to see are clear I need you near to me Will you stay with me to the end? When there's nothing left But you and me and the wind We'll never know till we try To find the other side of goodbye Please stay Please stay Two words I've thought I'd never learn to say Don't go away Please stay Warren Zevon vocals & electric guitar Jorge Calderón bass Gil Bernal saxophone Luis Conte drums & percussion Emmylou Harris background vocals 4.

Rub Me RawWritten by Warren Zevon & Jorge Calderón
I know these blues are gonna rub me raw Every single cure seems to be against the law Went and told my psychic I said "Keep it to yourself. I don't wanna hear it and don't be telling no one else." Word's out on the street Whispers in the night They come out of the woodwork, wanna see what it's like Pickle-ickle-ickle Gonna run that voodoo down How the crowd gets fickle when your face is to the ground! Oh no these blues are gonna rub me raw Oh no these blues are gonna rub me raw Now I'm shaking all over I'm a shattering mass But I'm gonna sit up straight I'm going to take it with class Old man used to tell me "Son, never look back, Move on to the next case. Fold your clothes and pack." To the green horned chicken hoppers I say "Get yourself a trade, Or go hack to the chat room and fade in the shade" Oh no these blues are gonna rub me raw Oh no these blues are gonna rub me raw I know these blues are gonna rub me raw Every single cure seems to be against the law I was walking pretty well then I fell into a hole I should climb out quick, but I hate doing what I'm told Got a wang-dang-doodle wrapped in bog snake hide This goat head gumbo is keeping me alive I don't want your pity or your fifty-dollar words I don't share your need to discuss the absurd Oh no these blues are gonna rub me raw Oh no these blues are gonna rub me raw Warren Zevon vocals Joe Walsh slide guitar Jim Keltner drums Jorge Calderón electric guitar & bass 5.

Keep Me In Your HeartWritten by Warren Zevon & Jorge Calderón
Shadows are falling and I'm running out of breath Keep me in your heart for awhile If I leave you it doesn't mean I love you any less Keep me in your heart for awhile When you get up in the morning and you see that crazy sun Keep me in your heart for awhile There's a train leaving nightly called when all is said and done Keep me in your heart for awhile Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo Keep me in your heart for awhile Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo Keep me in your heart for awhile Sometimes when you're doing simple things around the house Maybe you'll think of me and smile You know I'm tied to you like the buttons on your blouse Keep me in your heart for awhile Hold me in your thoughts, take me to your dreams Touch me as I fall into view When the winter comes keep the fires lit And I will be right next to you Engine driver's headed north to Pleasant Stream Keep me in your heart for awhile These wheels keep turning but they're running out of steam Keep me in your heart for awhile Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo Keep me in your heart for awhile Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-li-li-lo Keep me in your heart for awhile Keep me in your heart for awhile Warren Zevon vocals Jorge Calderón acoustic guitar, bass & tres Jim Keltner drums |
