Rogue Tenant

You keep me Livin' in your attic,
Like your sickly little aunt.
You keep me livin' in your closet.
where it is very cramped.
You keep me livin' in your hospital.
Tell the nurses I'm unclean...
Keep me livin' like a rogue tenant,
It's the darndest thing...
You keep me livin' in your toy box
like some silly little doll,
You keep me livin' on the stairs,
And piled up in the hall....
Keep me livin' in your birdcage-
But you never hear me sing!
Keep me livin' like a rogue tenant,
Keep me livin' like a rogue tenant,
Keep me livin' like a rogue tenant,
Baby you're so mean
You keep me livin' in your haystack,
Like I'm the needle in...
Keep me livin' on your clothes line,
a-just a-blowin' in the wind...
You keep me livin' on your back porch,
Fourty winks under the swing...
You Keep me livin' like a rogue tenant,
It's the Darndest thing!
You keep me livin' in your wood shed
Like some half-hearted-plans.
Keep me livin' like an orphan,
an' other sons-a-bitches man...
Keep me livin' on bread and water
But never wine...
Keep me livin' like a rogue tenant,
Keep me livin' like a rogue tenant,
Keep me livin' like a rogue tenant...
Most of the time
Well Maybe there's some letters that
I shouldn't write.
Maybe there's some fences that
I painted white
Maybe there's some games
that end up in a fight,
Maybe some lovers just don't get it right...
Don't get it right...
You keep me livin' off your mainline'
Keep me livin' off your grid'
Keep me livin' without somethin'
Don't remember what it is!
Keep me livin' on the memory of
how we was
when we was doin'
'Fine'
Keep me livin' like a rogue tenant,
Keep me livin' like a rogue tenant,
Keep me livin' like a rogue tenant,
Baby that ain't kind!

You Have all the answers.

In all the ways that matter....
You're so very wise.

Look up at your skies
Right where we found you

No Sorries,
No Regrets.

And all the ways that you flatter...

Not that that matters....
To all who stand in line.
And all who stand around you,
You're so very kind,
Just Like we found you.
Just like we found you
Just like we found you...
No Sorries,
No Regrets.

If you ain't never rode no box car,
Get your jacket an' a postcard-
An' Bobby take the train to San Francisco
"Well- I met woody when I was 5,
in California, in some dive.
Man, I didn't know just
Who he Was,
But I still Knew Him!"
And the note said-
"headed west, be back soon"
You remind me of a girl
that looks like you.
You remind me
leavin's what I do
You remind me
leavin's what I do
Ohhh The Oily as The GasLight
Paid a dollar on a good night
Got Royal Indian Blood in my veins.
If I stay a-while an' leave,
Would you hold your head an' grieve?
Or would you celebrate my goin' as
an occasion?
And the note said-
"headed west, be back soon"
You remind me of a girl
that looks like you.
You remind me
leavin's what I do
You remind me
leavin's what I do
Down on Hammond's Folly
Song Jockey from accounting said
"you'll never make your way with inspiration."
well Hub-capped-diamond-starlet-halos
are still lookin' for their payloads and
cash bribes are still a
good form of flirtation.
And the note said-
"headed west, be back soon"
You remind me of a girl
that looks like you.
You remind me
leavin's what I do
You remind me
leavin's what I do
Canary in a Cole Mine!
Belly Full of Moonshine!
Still lookin' to you for signs of
Pain and aggravation..
Well my stories are half-true,
But they're true enough for you!
Read my book
when I get to my
Final Destination...
And the note said-
"headed west, be back soon"
You remind me of a girl
that looks like you.
You remind me
leavin's what I do
You remind me
leavin's what I do
Remind Me leavin's what I do...
An' if you never rode no boxcar,
Get your jacket,
and a post card,
and Bobby-
Take the Train....

I Beseech you!
You're mine!

Cold Water Flat?
Well it ain't so bad...
You got...
Warren, an' Joe, an' John an' Dad...
Fillin' One by two by three by three
Hot Water Livin'
Never agreed with me...
An' anyway my woman
never gimmie no action
So,
All those cold showers were
Half the attraction.
Funniest thing that
you ever did see,
Had to sell all my book
just to get that key!
An I'm livin' in a cold water flat
livin' in a cold water flat
livin' in a cold water flat
livin' in a cold water flat, cold water flat
Cold Water Flat?
Well the beds so small!
You got...24 rooms
crammed between two walls....
Pilin' one on two on three on three...
Hot water livin' never
Appealed to me.
An anyway,
my landlord
never gimmie no credit,
an' I buy all his drinks
try'n to make him forget it.
Funniest thing that I ever did wrong...
Had to sell all my books
just to write this song....
An I'm livin' in a cold water flat
livin' in a cold water flat
livin' in a cold water flat
livin' in a cold water flat, cold water flat, cold water flat
Well,
Maybe I only make
A dollar
for a livin'.
An-a maybe
I'm a-livin'
all-take
an' no givin'
maybe i'm a sinner
an' my hair is
a-thinin'...
cold Water Flat and a dose of
forgivin'?
Make me a man
make me
a new beginnin'...
Make me a man,
make me a
new beginnin'...
make me a Man,
make me
a-new beginnin'...
make me
a Man,
make me
A-new....
And any way,
my maker,
gimmie
No satisfaction.
Ole' Hell-N-High Water
were
half the attraction.
Funniest thing that ever made you cry?
Had to sell all my book
just to wonder why... oh why?
I'm livin' in a cold water flat
livin' in a cold water flat
livin' in a cold water flat
livin' in a cold water flat, cold water flat
cold water flat....
