Suitcase Blues - Lyrics - Triumph

Title: Suitcase Blues
Artist: Triumph
Composer(s): Rik Emmett, Mike Levine, Gil Moore

Lyric:
It's four in the morning, there's not a soul around
This dirty hotel room has really got me down
A modern day minstrel, they got my name in lights
I wish these days of glamor didn't have these lonely nights

I'm on the road to fortune
And I got the suitcase blues real bad

I guess I'm makin' payments of the dues that must be paid
I cash another song into this endless masquerade
Halfway through the circuit and headed for the coast
Been gone so long I can't remember what I miss the most, ah, but

Me and Johnny Walker and the comfort that he brings
Waitin' on the telephone that never ever rings
On the lonely road of fortune
And I got the suitcase blues real bad

I got the blues and I got them really bad
The suitcase blues are the worst I ever had
All by my lonesome and I'm halfway 'round the bend
I don?t mind drinkin' solo but I sure could use a friend

Oh, me and Johnny Walker and the comfort that he brings
Waitin' on the telephone that never ever rings
On the lonely road of fortune
And I got the suitcase blues real bad

Smuggler'S Blues - Lyrics - Glenn Frey

Title: Smuggler'S Blues
Artist: Glenn Frey
Composer(s): Jack Tempchin, Glenn Frey

Lyric:
There's trouble on the streets tonight
I can feel it in my bones, I had a premonition
That he should not go alone

I knew the gun was loaded
But I didn't think he'd kill
Everything exploded, and the blood began to spill

So baby, here's your ticket
Put the suitcase in your hand, here's a little money now
Do it just the way we planned
You be cool for twenty hours, and I'll pay you twenty grand

I'm sorry it went down like this
And someone had to lose, it's the nature of the business
It's the smuggler's blues, smuggler's blues

The sailors and pilots, the soldiers and the law
The pay-offs and the rip-offs and the things nobody saw
No matter if it's heroin, cocaine, or hash
You've got to carry weapons, 'cause you always carry cash

There's lots of shady characters, lots of dirty deals
Ev'ry name's an alias, in case somebody squeals
It's the lure of easy money, it's got a very strong appeal

Perhaps you'd understand it better
Standin' in my shoes, it's the ultimate enticement
It's the smuggler's blues, smuggler's blues

You see it in the headlines, you hear it ev'ry day
They say they're gonna stop it but it doesn't go away
They move it through Miami, sell it in L.A.
They hide it up in Telluride, I mean it's here to stay

It's propping up the governments in Columbia and Peru
You ask any D.E.A. man, he'll say there's nothin' we can do
From the office of the President
Right down to me and you, me and you

It's a losing proposition but one you can't refuse
It's the politics of contraband
It's the smuggler's blues, smuggler's blues

Allergic To The Blues - Lyrics - Randy Travis

Title: Allergic To The Blues
Artist: Randy Travis
Composer(s): Jim Mcbride, Alan Eugene Jackson

Lyric:
Yes, I hid your car keys, honey
Yes, I hid your suitcase
And I'm the reason you can't find
Your makeup and your toothpaste

And I'll do anything it takes
To keep you here with me
Losing you's a sure way
To set off my allergies

I'm allergic to the blues
I get these teardrops in my eyes
You know I've always had
A bad reaction to goodbyes

So, 'til they find some injection
To calm that love rejection
All I've got to save me now is you
'Cause I'm allergic to the blues

It won't be five minutes
After you walk out that front door
'Til I'll be fightin' for my breath
And feelin' like I'm done for

Well, they might find me froze to death
In our bed alone
Now, do you really want that
On your conscience while your gone?

I'm allergic to the blues
I get these teardrops in my eyes
You know I've always had
A bad reaction to goodbyes

So, 'til they find some injection
To calm that love rejection
All I've got to save me now is you
'Cause I'm allergic to the blues
I'm allergic to the blues

Leave Me Alone With The Blues - Lyrics - Hank Williams

Title: Leave Me Alone With The Blues
Artist: Hank Williams
Composer(s): Joe Pope

Lyric:
Better pack up your suitcase and leave in a hurry
Now, I don?t wanna show you the door
Since the day that we met, you?ve been nothin? but trouble
Now, I don?t want you here anymore

Run along, run along don?t pester me further
For I know that you?ll never be true
If you can?t treat me right then get out of my life
Go and leave me alone with the blues

Oh, you stayed by my side till you got all my money
Now, my clothes are all ragged and torn
Since the day that we met, you?ve been nothin? but worry
Lord, I wish I had never been born

Run along, run along don?t you pester me further
I know that you?ll never be true
If you can?t treat me right then get out of my life
Go and leave me alone with these blues

You may ramble and ramble this whole wide world over
But don?t trust any woman you meet
They won?t leave you alone till they?ve got your last dollar
Then you?re just like the dirt beneath their feet

Run along, run along don?t you pester me further
For I know that you?ll never be true
If you can?t treat me right then get out of my life
Go and leave me alone with these blues

Lord my mother she done told me and my father done told me
My father told me too, yeah my mother she done told me
And my father done told me, my father told me too
It's a mean old town to live in by yourself

Yeah, work for a dollar or several thousand
Could not save a dime
You know I worked for a dollar, or several thousand
Man couldn't save a dime
Ain't nobody worried and there isn't nobody's crying

Yeah, I got my hands outside to get a hold on
Try to get some of my cash
Lord I try to get my hands outside to get a hold on
Try to get some of my cash
It's those great big smiles to keep us out of that trash

So I packed up my suitcase and I move on down
Hit that lonesome road
You know I packed up my suitcase
And I hit that lonesome, move on down
I'm still crying to make it when the day was done

Must'Ve Had A Ball - Lyrics - Everything I Love - Alan Jackson

Title: Must'Ve Had A Ball
Album: Everything I Love
Artist: Alan Jackson
Composer(s): Alan Eugene Jackson

Lyric:
Well, I must've had a ball last night
I can't recall what even started our fight
I must've drank away my blues
'Cause I don't remember losing you

Well, I must've done the town up right
'Cause this morning my hats just a little too tight
There ain't no way of knowing but all the signs are showing
I must've had a ball last night

Well, I woke up this morning underneath my bed
And someone's in the kitchen sink
With cowboy boots on and nothing else at all
Except my hat turned backward on her head

Yeah, I must've had a ball last night
I can't recall what even started our fight
Well, I must've drank away my blues
'Cause I don't remember losing you

Well, I must've done the town up right
'Cause this morning my hats just a little too tight
There ain't no way of knowing but all the signs are showing
I must've had a ball last night

Well, my picture's on the table, somebody tore it right in two
Well, who'd do such a crazy thing?
Someone took your suitcase and your little car
And I hate it 'cause the tires are new

Yeah, I must've had a ball last night
I can't recall what even started the fight
I must've drank away my blues
'Cause I don't remember losing you

Well, I must've done the town up right
'Cause this morning my hats just a little too tight
There ain't no way of knowing but all the signs are showing
I must've had a ball last night

Well, I must've done the town up right
'Cause this morning my hats just a little too tight
There ain't no way of knowing but all the signs are showing
I must've had a ball last night
Well, there ain't way knowing but all the signs are showing

Something For The Pain - Lyrics - These Days - Bon Jovi

Title: Something For The Pain
Album: These Days
Artist: Bon Jovi
Composer(s): Jon Bon Jovi, Richard S. Sambora, Desmond Child

Lyric:
Happiness, been no friend to me
But forever after ain't what it's all cracked up to be
Yeah, I had a taste, you were my fantasy
But I almost lost my faith when I hit reality

I don't need no guru to tell me what to do
When your feeling like a headlines on yesterday's news

Come on, come on, come on
Give me something for the pain
Give me something for the blues
Give me something for the pain
When I feel I'm danglin' on a hang-man's noose

Oh, give me something for the rain
Give me something I can use
To get me through the night, make me feel all right
Something like you
Come on, come on, come on

Loneliness found a home in me
Oh, my suitcase and guitar are my only family
I've tried to need someone, like they needed me
But I opened up my heart, all I did was bleed

I don't need no lover, just to get screwed
They don't make no bandage, that's going to cover my bruise

Come on, come on, come on
Give me something for the pain
Give me something for the blues
Give me something for the pain
When I feel I'm danglin' on a hang-man's noose

Give me something for the rain
Give me something I can use
To get me through the night, make me feel all right
Something like you
Come on, come on, come on

Pull me under through my veins
(Help I'm falling)
First to a place where I feel no pain
Be the pillow under my head
(Night is calling)
Cover me when I'm in your bed

(Feels like I'm flying)
Higher than I've ever been
Take me down and back again
Come to me, be my disguise
(Christ, I'm dying)
Open your coat, let me crawl inside
Come on, come on, come on

Come on, come on, come on
Give me something for the pain
Give me something for the blues
Give me something for the pain when
When I feel I'm danglin' on a hang-man's noose

Oh, give me something for the rain
Give me something I can use
To get me through the night, make me feel all right
Something like you
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, come on, come on, come on

Give me, give me something for the pain
Give me, give me something I can use
Just like you
Just like you

Rainbow Blues - Lyrics - Jethro Tull

Title: Rainbow Blues
Artist: Jethro Tull
Composer(s): Ian Anderson

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
Through Northern Lights on back streets
I told the coachman, ?Just drive me on
It's the same old destination
But the difference was to sing upon?

So he threw back his head and he counted
I jumped out about five to nine
And I waved at the stage doorkeeper
Said, ?Mister, get me to the stage on time?

Oh, but the rain wasn't made of water
And the snow didn't have a place in the sun
So I slipped behind a rainbow
And waited 'til the show had done, yes

I packed my ammunition
Inside the crowd was shouting, ?Encore?
But I had a most funny feeling
It wasn't me they were shouting for

So when the tall dark lady smiled at me
I said, ?Oh baby, let us go for a ride?
And we came upon two drinks or four
And popped them oh so neatly inside

Oh, and the rain wasn't made of water
And the snow didn't have a place in the sun
So we slipped behind a rainbow
And laid there until we had done, yeah, so

Let me pack you deep in my suitcase
Oh, there's sure to be room for two
Or you can drive me to the airplane
But don't let me catch those rainbow blues

Oh, and the rain wasn't made of water
And the snow didn't have a place in the sun
So we slipped behind a rainbow
And laid there until we had done

Oh, and the rain wasn't made of water
And the snow didn't have a place in the sun
So we slipped behind a rainbow
And laid there until we had done, ohh

Well, I followed her to the station
With a suitcase in my hand

All my love is in vain

When the train pulled up to the station
And I looked her in her eye
When the train pulled up to the station
And I looked her in her eye

I was lonesome, I felt so lonesome
And I could not help but cry
All my love is in vain

Two lights on behind
Well, the train, it left the station

The red light was my mind

Days Are Short - Lyrics - Arlo Guthrie

Title: Days Are Short
Artist: Arlo Guthrie
Composer(s): Arlo Guthrie

Lyric:
Days are short and I ain't down
The sun is on the hill
Looking in my suitcase for a friend

The door was opened wide
You know I lost a little pride
And inside it was just another man

Every day another man reaches out his hand
Every moment there's a shifting in the sand
Every whisper in the wind brings a good man back again
Settle me down in my dreams tonight
Tomorrow's another day to blow my blues away

Lots of folks will tell you that
A man can go through life
Taking what he wants along the way

But until all men are freed
Each one gets but what he needs
The experience of living every day

Every day another man reaches out his hand
Every moment there's a shifting in the sand
Every whisper in the wind brings a good man back again
Settle me down in my dreams tonight
Tomorrow's another day to blow my blues away

I woke up this morning
I awoke upon my knees
Crying ooh, wee, I don't know where I am

I feel just like a clown
Every time I move around
Because, after all I'm just another man

Album: Electro-Shock Blues
Artist: Eels
Composer(s): Mark O. Everett, Michael S. Simpson

Lyric:
Efil's good and the time is right
I'll bundle up and slip away
The count is down and the drip is up
It's time to split this hunk of clay

Now you can bring back my suitcase
But you can't bring me
And you can have all the money
'Cause you say that you must
But if you think that it matters
Take a look at me
And don't close your eyes as I turn into dust

Efil's good

Don't tell me that I can't do this
As if you knew
But you don't know
How Efil's good

I'M Comin' Home - Lyrics - Robert Earl Keen

Title: I'M Comin' Home
Artist: Robert Earl Keen
Composer(s): Robert Earl Jr. Keen

Lyric:
Packed my suitcase, I racked my brain
Bought a ticket on the late night train
Took a taxi through the pourin' rain
I'm comin' home to you

Flew from Boston out to San Jose
Saw our old friends in Monterey Bay
When they asked me if I'd like to stay
I said I'm comin' home to you

I'm comin' home
Made up my mind that's what I'm gonna do
Can't love nobody on the telephone
I'm comin' home to you

They threw a party there from dusk 'til dawn
Seems like everybody knows old Sleepy John
He said next time I better bring you along
I'm comin' home to you

They had fresh caught salmon on the bareques
There were people jammin' all night to the blues
Life is good out in Santa Cruz
But I'm comin' home to you

I'm comin' home
Made up my mind that's what I'm gonna do
Can't love nobody on the telephone
I'm comin' home to you

I drove forever out to God knows where
Come ten-thirty there was no one there
They couldn't pay me but I didn't care
I'm comin' home to you

I'm feelin' better since I got your card
I read it over and over when the road gets hard
Ain't nothin' better than your own backyard
I'm comin' home to you

I'm comin' home
Made up my mind that's what I'm gonna do
Can't love nobody on the telephone
I'm comin' home to you

I'm comin' home
Made up my mind that's what I'm gonna do
Can't love nobody on the telephone
I'm comin' home to you

Packed my suitcase, I racked my brain
Bought a ticket on the late night train
Took a taxi in through pourin' rain

Rising Sun Blues - Lyrics - Doc Watson

Title: Rising Sun Blues
Artist: Doc Watson
Composer(s): Bert Martin, Traditional Georgia Turner

Lyric:
There is a house down in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of a many poor boy
And me, oh God, for one

Then fill the glasses to the brim
Let the drinks go merrily around
And we'll drink to the health of a rounder poor boy
Who goes from town to town

The only thing that a rounder needs
Is a suitcase and a trunk
And the only time he's satisfied
Is when he's on a drunk

Now boys, don't believe what a girl tells you
Though her eyes be blue or brown
Unless she's on some scaffold high
Saying, "Boys, I can't come down"

Go tell my youngest brother
Not to do the things I've done
But to shun that house down in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun

I'm going back, back to New Orleans
For my race is nearly run
Gonna spend the rest of my wicked life
Beneath that Rising Sun

You got me runnin', runnin' from door to door
But some sweet day, you gonna be sorry
Babe, that you let me go

And I don't know just what to do
Some sweet day, your luck will change
Baby, you will be blue too

Makin'S Of A Song - Lyrics - Waylon Jennings

Title: Makin'S Of A Song
Artist: Waylon Jennings
Composer(s): Willie Nelson, Max D Barnes, Waylon Jennings, Troy Seals

Lyric:
Before you pack your suitcase call your mama
Up to now she's taught you all you need to know
Just look at me as kinda like your daddy
Teaching you the old rules of the road

You won't be no superstar tomorrow
You've got to take the time to pay your dues
When you start to feel at home out on the highway
You're damn sure qualified to sing the blues

Always send a big guy for the money
Don't give 'em no excuse to do you wrong
Even when you lose you're still the winner
At least you've got the makin's of a song

Don't compromise your feelings when they matter
They'll come back to haunt you don't you know?
The songs you sing today you'll sing tomorrow
If you don't give up the music for the show

Always send a big guy for the money
Don't give 'em no excuse to do you wrong
Even when you lose you're still the winner
At least you've got the makin's of a song

At least you've got the makin's of a song
