Tributary Otis
Well I've traveled,
and I've seen the things I build, working
Workin' to bring me down
And I may be thirsty now
And I will go beyond this thirst
And my tears I cry for you will all go dry
So I lay down on the floor, turn on my radio
Come on River Otis make me cry

'Cause I've been out all night
And I had to give up the fight
So come on River Otis make me cry

But I have risen too in what I believe in

Well I was born in the thirsty earth
Showed up in Tucson,
Fresh out of Leavenworth
Did my time on stale bread and dirty water
Nobody told me that lady was the preacher's daughter
Yeah heah with her arms she holds me
When we kissed, she never told me
Lamb for a slaughter
She's my preacher's daughter

Got loose from my incarceration
I paid a visit to her daddy's congregation
Welcome home she said, your lookin' good too
Meet my new husband, he's the sheriff who arrested you

Yeah heah with her arms she holds me
When we kissed, she never told me
Lamb for a slaughter
She's my preacher's daughter

YEAH

So I said my congratulations
'Bout lost myself to my infatuation
I stole a kiss or two just havin' fun again
Sheriff don't like it
Now I'm back on the run again

Yeah heah with her arms she holds me
When we kissed, she never told me
Now I know I'm gonna slaughter
Like the desert needs the water
Give me back my preacher's daughter
Preacher's daughter
Preacher's daughter
Preacher's daughter
YEAH

Well I'm wanted in fifty states and in Mexico
Them wanted posters stretch from Alaska down to Tierra Del Fuego
I do the don'ts, I don't the do's, I wrong the rights and I false the truths
I drink all night and I howl the blues
'Cause I never been wanted like I want to be wanted by you

Well federalies put a bullet in my sombrero
Still there aint an hombre standin' who's got the drop on this here, pistelero
I do the don'ts, I don't the do's, and every time I turn around I'm on the five O'clock news

My blood runs red, my heart is blue
Cause I never been wanted like I want to be wanted by you
Like I want to be wanted by you
Like I want to be wanted by you
Like I want to be wanted by you

So baby grab my hand, were gonna make our stand on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande
I got me a little money and a place to go
Where you can live high, while I lay low
Yeah lets go

Still I'm wanted in fifty states and in Mexico
Now them wanted posters stretch from Alaska to Tierra Del Fuego
I do the don'ts, I don't the do's, and every time I turn around I'm on the ten O'clock news
My blood runs red, my heart is blue
Cause I never been wanted like I want to be wanted by you
Like I want to be wanted by you
Like I want to be wanted by you
Like I want to be wanted by you

Rode hard and put up wet, I ain't down but I can't get up yet
It's a long ride back to the way I want to feel
Sun down across the plain, I've been sore before I'll be sore again
No place to hide to keep from runnin'
Laid down in the cottonwood hollow though I left a trail no man could follow,
Is it safe to rest my head again till morning
Cracked throat and my canteen's dry and
Rain don't fall from an empty sky, so I'll whisper Hail Marys till the sun comes up

Now don't tell me that part of the story when the cowboy falls in love
When he traded in his pistol and his saddle and the stars above
When the candle's burnin' down, when midnight comes around
You know the best that we can hope for is to be laughin' when we finally hit the ground

Rode hard come down tired, stripped from the saddle when the rifle fired,
Deep in dreams of women and clean water
Well I did before what I'll do again
So forgive me Father if I have sinned, but the old wood cracks before it bends

Now don't tell me that part of the story when the cowboy falls in love
When he traded in his pistol and his saddle and the stars above
When the candle's burnin' down, when midnight comes around
You know the best that we can hope for is to be laughin' when we finally hit

Yeah the candle's burnin' down, now midnight comes around
You know the best that we can hope for is to be laughin' when we finally hit the ground

The candle's burnin' down, and when midnight comes around

Well I think I saw you in a dream,
You were dancin' by a slot machine, with a complementary whiskey in your hand
And when you asked what kind of streak I was on,
Somehow it just got better
So we might as well pull our asses out of Dodge

You spin the wheel and I roll the bones
Never let them think they've got us down
'Cause were already down, yeah
We'll hide away from the sun all day
The change of lights will lead our way,
To heaven or the highway out of town

So I think I saw you in a dream
Or was I just sucking down toluene, with a complementary vodka, in my hand
When you asked what kind of trip are you on,
And I blurted out somethin' stupid
When you grabbed my hand to drag me off to bed

You spin the wheel and I roll the bones
Never let them think they've got us down
Cause were already down, yeah
We'll hide away from the sun all day
The change of lights will lead our way,
To heaven or the highway out of town

YEAH

You spin the wheel and I roll the bones
Never let them think they've got us down
Got us down
Cause were already down, yeah
Already down
We'll hide away from the sun all day
The change of lights will lead our way,
To heaven or the highway out of town

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

This I know, I've got a lot to learn
But could you spare me a match
I've got a bridge to burn
And if you could, there might be a little somethin' in it for you

And I won't mind if you lag behind
I'd like your company with my axe to grind
We'll take LSD
And talk about conspiracy too

Well stay up all night with the radio on
Sleep all day, keep your clothes still on
Whatever you do, be sure you buy American
hmm-hmm-hmm

So you say I've got a lot to learn
Well that's fine with me, still got that bridge to burn
And if you, come along there's a little something in it for you
And I hope you don't mind if I lag behind you
You'd like my company with your axe to grind
We'll eat MSG and talk about Chinese food

Stay up all night with the radio on
Sleep all day, keep your clothes still on
Whatever you do, be sure you buy American
Yeah, buy American
Buy American
Buy American
Buy, buy, buy...

We'll stay up all night with the radio on
Sleep all day, keep your clothes still on
Whatever you do, be sure you by American

Yeah - We'll stay up all night with the radio on
Sleep all day, keep your clothes still on
Whatever you do, be sure you buy American
Buy American
Buy American
Buy...
Buy, buy, buy...

Next time your around, stay
Next time your around, stay away

YEAH - YEAH - YEAH

You used to write my name
On the back of your notebook
All adorned with smiles and hearts and stars
But lately it would appear
That you found yourself a black magic marker
Just to make absolutely sure
That no one ever thought
That you'd take it that far

It's been a good year for, bad days
Or a bad year for, good days
Well here we go again now, here we go again now

You used to write me those
Funny little letters
In a language ours and ours alone
I gave my "Catcher in the Rye"
For your "Cats Cradle"
And I gave my "White" for your "Abby Road"

It's been a good year for, bad days
Or a bad year for, good days
Well, here we go again now, here we go again now

Truck tires, trash fires
Face first, through the wire
Adios, Au'revoir
I see now what I never saw
No more pet names, postcards and picture frames
Adios, Au'revoir
I see now what I never saw

No more bad knees
Post cards and picture frames
Adios, Au'revoir
I see now that I never saw

It's been a good year for, bad days
Or a bad year for, good days
It's been a good year for, bad days
Or a bad year for, good days
It's been a good year for, bad days
Or a bad year for, good days
It's been a good year for, bad days
Or a bad year for, good days yeah...........

No more negotiations dear
I'm runnin' out of patience here
Whisper congratulations in my ear
Well it clear, that we got nothin' much left to say

Monuments and maps
The sky-lines and the tourist traps
Would all do well if they collapsed
And sent you runnin' back here to me

Well who said absence makes the heart grow fonder
In all the pictures that you send me now
Your hair seems to get just a little bit blonder

Cars break down and people break down and other things break down too
I felt somethin' slip when you left on your trip
And now I think I'm breaking down, on you

Could you be more specific dear
Tell me what is so terrific here
Don't be to scientific, but make it clear and never fear
I'll be scratchin' it down my nails in clay, hey

Who said absence makes the heart grow fonder
In all the pictures that you send me now
Your hair seems to get just a little bit blonder

Cars break down and people break down and other things break down too
I felt somethin' slip when you left on your trip
And now I think I'm breaking down, on you
Yeah
Have anther sedative
It even gets so repetitive
And don't give a damn to help me feel ok
And all the breath will be here for me
And that wont be very nice
So baby will you help me
Through the day, yeah yeah

Yeah well who said absence makes the heart grow fonder
In all the pictures that you send me now
Your hair seems to get just a little bit blonder

Cars break down and people break down and other things break down too
I felt somethin' slip when you left on your trip
And now I think I'm breaking down, on you
Cars break down and people break down and other things break down too
I felt somethin' slip when you left on your trip
And now I think I'm breaking down, on you
Yeah yeah

Well hush there'll be no more tonight
You can't work and I can't fight
Well that's just beautiful
But it's the way you hold your breath
That's scarring me to death
Well that's your way, anyway, anyway

Everybody talks
We gotta listen to what they say
Well there's a picture that I'm painting and you know it won't be pretty
It's a song I give someone else to sing
It's a melody I stole from a bathroom wall
And it's the words I hear the birds sing

I don't mean to pry but it's been said
You got Demons in your head
(Screamed: Demons in your head)
I ask real casual

But it's the way I wear my frown
That only helps to bring you down
Well that's my way, anyway, anyway

And everybody talks
We gotta make it make some sense
Well there's a picture that I'm painting and you know it won't be pretty
It's a song I give someone else to sing
It's a melody I stole from a bathroom wall
And it's the words I hear the birds sing
Words I hear the birds sing

Well hush there'll be no more tonight
You can't work and I can't fight
Well that's just beautiful
But it's the way I hold my breath
That's scarring you to death
Well that's our way, anyway, anyway

Well everybody talks
But people rarely say a word
Well there's a picture that I'm painting and you know it won't be pretty
It's a song I give someone else to sing
It's a melody I stole from a bathroom wall
And it's the words I hear the birds sing
Words I hear the birds sing
Words I hear the birds sing
Words I hear the birds sing
Words I hear the birds sing

I woke up this morning
With a bump on my head
An empty corral
And a stone cold bed

Well all of my livestock
Was nowhere in sight
She took all of my horses when she left me last night

She cut me off at the roots
When she took my best boots
I'm hung-over and barefoot and long

You know I can't blame her
Try as I might
She took all of my horses when she left me last night

She rode off by moonlight and cut through the fences
Looks like somebody's done come to her senses
You know I can't blame her
Try as I might
She took all of my horses when she left me last night

She rode off by moonlight and cut through the fences
Looks like somebody's done come to her senses
You know I can't blame her
Try as I might
She took all of my horses when she left me last night

To much time on the range
And to much the bar
She warned me and warned me but I took it to far
The whiskey was wrong
And the woman
Yeah, the woman might have been right
She took all of my horses when she left me last night
She took all of my horses when she left me last night

Well, I fed your dog while you were on vacation
Covered all your shifts for you operation
But when you got back
You still wouldn't show me your brand new silicone boobs

So I took a walk around my neighborhood
To get you off of my mind like I knew that I ought to
But when I saw a big black van
Run down a bird I had to think about you

But no I'm not a quarterback
I'm not a fireman
Still I can have any girl in Japan
Cause I'm a healthy, hundred and fifty nine pound American boy...
Yeah you tell a story like a broken record and
You tell a story like a broken record and
I tell a story like a broken record but
Still I ain't jealous of the fellas like you, like anyway

So you took another guy on that Caribbean cruise
While I stayed home and cried into my bottle of pills but
When you got back
You didn't even have yourself a tan cause you stayed in your room

So I fed your dog while you were out of town and
I mowed your lawn when he wasn't around but
When you got back
You had the nerve to ask me if I had gone through some your clothes

No I'm not a quarterback
I'm not a fireman
Still I can have any girl in Japan
Cause I'm a healthy, hundred and fifty nine pound American boy...
Yeah you tell a story like a broken record and
You tell a story like a broken record and
I tell a story like a broken record but
Still I ain't jealous of the fellas like you, like anyway

No I'm not a quarterback
I'm not a fireman
Still I can have any girl in Japan
Cause I'm a healthy, hundred and fifty nine pound American boy...
Yeah you tell a story like a broken record and
I tell a story like a broken record and
We tell a story like a broken record but
Still I ain't jealous of the fellas like you like
You tell a story like a broken record and
I tell a story like a broken record and
I like stories like a broken record but
Still I ain't jealous of the fellas like you, like anyway

Una soda por favor
Can't drink cervezas anymore
'Cause if I do I fear I'll fall down on the floor
Una soda por favor
Can't drink that anymore
¿Dónde el baño señor?
Please point me to the door
And if you'd be so kind I swear that I won't puke on your floor
¿Dónde el baño señor?
Point me to the door
To the door

Come off a hard day of thinking
Just thought I'd do a little drinking
Now man the lifeboats
I think my ship is sinking, yeah

¿Qúe hora es señor?
And who's that pretty girl standing there, by the door?
I think I knew her from a thousand years before
¿Qúe hora es señor?
I need a little more
I need a little more
I need a little more
I need a little more
Hey, yeah!
Hey, yeah!
Yeah!
