REDMAN - Sarno
In open fields Redman ran free
Under sun and moon in harmony
For many thousand years
And then the trail of tears
On reservations, lost diginity
We watched the tribe lose its sovereignty
And with an iron hand
You desecrate our land
(chorus) Give back the water
And give us back the land
And the son and daughter of the Redman
You celebrate Columbus
His discovery
You teach lies and call it history
Let the children know
Of our native sorrow
(chorus)
Let us live in our own traditions
We don't want your welfare and conditions
Lakota Sioux, Mohawk, Cherokee
We pray to God we will be free
And give back the water.....
WEIGHT OF THE WORLD - Sarno
I believe in the promised land
And I believe in a helping hand
But sometimes I wonder what to do
I fight to feed my family
But it comes down to him or me
I put the weight of the world on you
And what about the nuclear age
We walk around in this great big cage
Did we really need that invention
There is famine, there is war
Greed it's a hunger, but what's it for
I put the weight of the world on you
Live and learn, that's what I've always heard
All I know is live by love
sing the universal word
I know it's a mystery
and in the end I guess we'll see
I sure would hate to be alone
You're a man, so they say
I hope to find out on the judgement day
For now I'll put the weight of the world on you
BREAK THE CHAIN words- Sarno music- Christopher/Sarno/Shaver
We got this big old sleepin' dog, we gotta wake him up
He's been here since time began, he was just a pup
It passes down through generations, and causes lots of pain
We gotta stop hurtin' children, we got to break the chain
It was done to you... but now you're doin' it too
Realize it's insane...Break the chain
How do you breathe, with your head in the sand
To watch your children bleed, I just don't understand
We could clear out all the prisons , and end this awful reign
We gotta save the children, we got to break the chain
Look deep inside... no longer run and hide
Can't you see it's insane... Break the chain
We can't just forgive and forget, remember and change
The chain of broken lives, just gets bigger everyday
SPIRIT - Sarno
Life slips away but the ones, that we love
Still hold tight yet their spirit is up above
The harder you love the harder it is to leave
But we're never really apart, and you must believe
When I got my first butterfly kiss, I was just a kid
I couldn't understand was it something, that I did
She was saying good-bye, and that she'd never be far away
(then my mama said)
Spirit flies away like a butterfly
When one door closes another one opens again
I feel your spirit in the eyes of my four-legged friend
I found peace and genuine understanding
That let me to love again
Spirit flies away like a butterfly
DON'T COME CRYING TO ME words- Christopher/ Sarno/Donley music- Christopher/Sarno/Shaver
Do you remember the night we met
I bought your drinks and lit your cigarettes
I fell so hard I kicked myself
Every time you make me feel there's no one else
But deep inside I love you and I'm sorry
I went down to my favorite bar
Saw my number on the bathroom wall
I wonder who, I wonder why
I guess it don't beat a sharp stick in my eye
But deep inside I love you and I'm sorry
Don't come cryin' to me 3x
'cause I know my love will never set you free
Do you remember sweetheart
Holdin' hands and kissin' in the dark
I guess it wasn't nothin special
Now you wanna get all sentimental
Don't come cryin' to me
'cause I know my love will never set you free
SICK & TIRED words- Christopher/Sarno music- Christopher/Sarno/Shaver
Old silk rags peepin' outta your bottom drawer
HIgh-heeled shoes paintin' faces on the floor
Can I come around
Pictures of you with some pretty boy in a frame
Makin' love to you, like a runaway train
Baby can I still come around, can I come around
Your feelings tattered and torn (You're not the only one)
Your mind is wicked and it's worn (You're not the only one)
Always lonely and your wired (You're not the only one)
You're not the only one who's sick & tired
It's just love that separates you and me
I get so twisted, hopin' just to be free
Still I come around
Come over here lay your sorrows next to mine
Lost souls found two hearts beatin' in time
Still I come around...I always come around
You got to lie and you cheat (You're not the only one)
Lookin' like a dog that's been beat (You're not the only one)
You're preachin' to the choir (You're not the only one)
You're not the only one who's sick & tired
OUT ON THE FARM words- Perkins music- Sarno/Archer
sometimes i do - sometimes i don't sometimes i will so don't think that i won't
something you need to understand
i'm a dangerous man when i ain't got a plan
neck deep in it - how deep does it need to get
'fore you get it into your head - things might could be better
out on the farm
thought by now i'd own this town - but i'll be danged, if i lay my money down
inside out or upside down - a city smile is but a medicated frown
bright city lights - they never go out at night
i've seen all the sights - and now i'm goin' home
out on the farm - don't do nobody no harm
and i'd be givin' my right arm just to be back there
back on the land - that's where i'll make my stand
won't cha help me mister man - i gotta get back there
i'm hearin' words i couldn't hear then
thinkin' bout folks, i know would call me friend
been thinking 'bout pa in a rockin' chair
telling me my life was good right there
my daddy was a man - i never thought i'd understand
red neck and dirty hands - and nothin' much to say
(chorus)
i'm goin' home, i'm goin' home, i'm goin' home
THAT DOG WON'T HUNT words- Sarno music- Christopher/Sarno/Shaver
Lookin' at the land of the free, tell me what you see
It used to be the home of the brave, now he's in agony.
The rich man's bank go belly up, we got to pay
While the poor man struggles to survive, just another day.
We got to realize...It's all a pack a lies
Get 'em right between the eyes...
That dog won't hunt
Jails full up with the nickel dope man, it's futility
While the lawyers get the big man off, on technicality
Politicians bullshit, tellin' us what we wanna hear
An honest man couldn't get elected in 1000 years
If your lookin' for truth... you'll never find it on TV
The law of the land, there ain't no better plan
That dog won't hunt
PUNCHING THE CLOCK words- Perkins /Sarno music- Sarno
The whistle blows
The workin day is done
Assembly line grinds to a stop with the setting sun
Goin' home to her it's all an act to me
'Cause that girls' love runs like a factory
I'm draggin' tail and I can use a lift
The girl's got me workin' all shifts
Punchin' the clock (she's the kind of work that's hard and dirty)
Punchin' the clock (The kind that seems to go nowhere)
Punchin' the clock
'Cause every dead-end job has got it's fool who thinks he's born to do it
The trick is stickin' to it
And punchin' the clock
In and out
Up and down
Over under
The room is dark
On my knees
Tryin' to find my thunder
Yeah the big machine never shuts down
The hands spinin' 'round and 'round
POURING RAIN words- Sarno music- Christopher/Sarno/Shaver
I can't believe it happened again..baby
spank me runnin'
Hit like a jolt, a lightnin' bolt
You flashed a smile from across the room...and I couldn't see
Like in a dream, I tried to scream
I need a little hair of the dog
Like I need another hole in the head
Fallin' hard like a pourin' rain
Thought that I was out of the storm
it was calm and peaceful
Only to realize I was in the eye
So here we gotta go again
'cause baby you got it goin' on
Fallin' hard like a pourin' rain
FOR CRYING OUT LOUD - Christopher
Come over here why don'cha... and sit your sweet ass down
And tell me about your story, one more time
You know I've heard it said...in fact I think your the one who said it
Every one gets their heart broke, it ain't no crime
I've been there before... for cryin' out loud
It's gonna be alright... for cryin' out loud
For cryin' out loud
It's always good to see you...why don't ya take off that raincoat
you know it's sunny... and hell, it ain't that cold
Tell me what you're hearin'...on that little radio
The one you carry deep inside your soul
I can't hear it... for cryin' out loud
Why don't you just tell me... for cryin' out loud
For cryin' out loud
You don't know.. but I love you still
For cryin' out loud I always will
I've been there before... for cryin' out loud
It's gonna be alright... for cryin' out loud
I can't hear it... for cryin' out loud
Why don't you just tell me... for cryin' out loud
For cryin' out loud
TWO-TONE CADILLAC - Sarno
My honey sittin' close with her hand in my lap
Red fingernails lipstick and cool cap
Doggy in the back seat lickin' my ear
See the sun settin' low in the rear-view mirror
Of a two-tone cadillac....She's so fine
Turn the neon lights up under my car
See her strawberry hair shimmer under the stars
Clear blue night, crescent moonlight, smiles
Feel so good wanna drive a million miles
In a two-tone cadillac...Shes' so fine
It's all I ever wanted, don't need no place to go
Don't even wanna get there,so we gotta drive real slow
Don't think about the future,or talk about the past
My beautiful; green-eyed lady, you make my heart beat real fast
Jet black cadillac passin' us by
Sits a real mac daddy with a gleam in his eye
Chrome spoke wheels it was showroom new
Honey I an't got much but he ain't got you
Or a two-tone cadillac...Shes' so fine
She's so fine the girl's so fine
She's so fine the woman's so fine
THE HARD WAY - Sarno
LIFE... AIN'T A DESTINATION
IT'S 'BOUT LOVIN' EVERYDAY
BUT I ALWAYS TAKE THE SHORTCUT
SEEMS LIKE THE EASY WAY
I THOUGHT THE ISOLATION
WOULD PROTECT ME FROM THE PAIN
NO LOVE AND REAL COMMITMENT
JUST CAUSED A LOT OF IT
CHORUS
I DO IT LIKE THIS
I DO IT LIKE THAT
I DO IT WHICH EVERYWAY
I ALWAYS TAKE THE HARD WAY
LIFE... AIN'T A DRESS REHEARSAL
FAT LADY ALWAYS IN THE WINGS
TOO MUCH WORK AND WORRY
BE DISCONTENTED WHEN SHE SINGS
I NEVER LIKE TO SACRIFICE
I ALWAYS WANT IT RIGHT AWAY
BUT IT'S EASY COME EASY GO
CHORUS
LIVIN' FOR THE RIDER - Sarno
WELL I KNOW THAT LOVIN' HER IS JUST A WASTE OF MY TIME
BUT I CAN NOT THINK HER OFF OF MY MIND
SHE HAD HER LEATHERS ON YESTERDAY, AND I WATCHED HER RIDE AWAY
SMELLIN' LEATHER, GASOLINE AND PERFUME AND TASTIN' HER TEARS
NOW SHE RIDES WITH THE WIND
AND I'M CHAINED UP... TO HER HEART
I WAS LONELY TIRED AND WIRED LOST FOR SURE
LOOKIN' FOR SOMEBODY TO HOLD ME TIGHT WHY'D IT HAVE TO BE HER
SHE GAVE ME JUST A LITTLE TASTE AND I CAN'T SHAKE HER
NOW SHE'S GONE THAT LEAN MACHINE... HEARTBREAKER
I CAN'T SAY WHY SHE'S GONE
JUST HAD TO LET HER RIDE RIGHT ON (NOW I'M)
CHORUS
LIVIN' FOR THE RIDER (IN MY DREAMS AND ALL DAY LONG)
LIVIN' FOR THE RIDER ( I KNOW I'M LOVIN' ALONE)
SHE GOT 1200 CC'S BETWEEN HER THIGHS
AND GOT ME RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES
NEXT TIME I GIVE MY HEART GONNA TAKE MY TIME
DON'T LET THAT INFATUATION FOG MY MIND
WANNA BE ALL THERE WHEN WE SHARE THAT FIRST EMBRACE
STAY TOGETHER FOREVER... GIVE UP THE CHASE
ONE THING I LEARNED FROM THE BIKER MISS
BE CAREFUL... WHO YOU KISS
CHORUS
GET OUT THE BACK DOOR -Sarno
GET OUT THE BACK DOOR YOU MANGY DOG GET OUT THE BACK DOOR.... (2x)
YOU'RE MESSIN' WITH MY MIND, I DON'T LIKE YOUR KIND GET OUT THE BACK DOOR
GET OUT THE BACK DOOR YOU EVIL TWIN GET OUT THE BACK DOOR.... (2x)
YOU'RE A THOUGHT I JUST CAN'T USE, YESTERDAY'S NEWS GET OUT THE BACK DOOR
FEAR AND TREPIDATION JUST TOOK A PERMANENT VACATION
GONNA WRITE YOU OUT THE SCRIPT YOU CAN'T GIVE ME NO MORE LIP
GET OUT THE BACK DOOR
GET OUT THE BACK DOOR
GET OUT THE BACK DOOR (YOU CAME IN THROUGH THE WINDOW)
YOU POISON MY CONDITION NOW I'M IN THER POLE POSITION
GET OUT THE BACK DOOR
Everytime the whistle whines<words- Fred Koller music- Sarno
Here come that train, I see the light
I hear that lonesome whistle, moanin' in the night
It's the midnight special, comin' through right on time
I'll be listenin' for my baby
Everytime the whistle whines
She packed her bags, she grabbed her hat
But I know she'll be comin' on back
Let me tell you somethin', somethin' 'bout that girl of mine
She gonna miss her daddy
Everytime the whistle whines
And if she's lookin' for me, I'll be right beneath the depot sign
That's where I'm gonna be
Everytime the whistle whines
I put a brand new penny on the track
But that ain't gonna bring my baby back
I'm still lookin', lookin' for that girl of mine
I'll be listenin' for my baby
Everytime the whistle whines
repeat verse 1
CRYBABY BLUES - Sarno
GET UP BEFORE THE CAMERA
CRY IN FRONT OF ME
I'VE SEEN IT ALL BEFORE
AND I GOT NO SYMPATHY
TRYIN' TO BLAME EVERYBODY ELSE
AND WHAT ARE YOU DOIN' IN BETWEEN THE SHEETS
THEN TO MAKE MATTERS EVEN WORSE
YOU PUT YOUR BUSINESS IN THE STREETS
(CHORUS) I'M HAVIN' A GOOD TIME
IF I WIN OR I LOSE HAVIN' A GOOD TIME
DON'T NEED NO CRYBABY BLUES
SLIP ON MY SIDEWALK
BREAK YOUR SORRY ASS
YOU CALL YOUR LAWYER UP
HE SAYS YOU MAY BE DUE SOME CASH
YOU COME 'A BEGGIN' AT MY FRONT DOOR
MY DOGGY TAKE A LITTLE BITE
NOW YOU GOT BOTH HANDS OUT
YOU KNOW IT JUST AIN'T RIGHT
(CHORUS)
I WAS FEELIN' BAD 'CAUSE I HAD NO SHOES
THEN I MET A MAN WITH NO FEET
AND HE HAD NO BLUES
NOW I THANK THE GOOD LORD EVERYDAY
FOR ALL HE'S GIVEN ME
NO MATTER WHAT THEY SAY
HE GIVE YOU JUST WHAT YOU NEED
HAVIN' A GOOD TIME
WE ALL WIN AND WE LOSE
HAVIN' A GOOD TIME
DON'T NEED NO CRYBABY BLUES

LADY AND MY DOG - Sarno
MY LADY LEFT ME, AND I KNOW THAT'S RIGHT (2 X)
EVER SINCE SHE LEFT ME
THE DOG KEEPS ME WARM AT NIGHT
BUT THEN THE DOG HE WENT AND DIED
AND LEFT ME ALL ALONE (2 X)
BESIDES THE MEMORIES
HE LEFT HIS COLLAR AND HIS BONE
IT SEEMS I'VE LOST ABOUT EVERYTHING
MY LADY AND MY DOG (2 X)
I WALK THE STREETS 'TIL TWO IN THE MORNING
EVERYNIGHT THEN I PLAY THE BLUES
MY DOG HE WAS MY BEST FRIEND
BUT THEN HE LOST HIS HEALTH (2 X)
SEE HE HAD ALL THE ANSWERS
BUT HE KEPT 'EM TO HIMSELF
MY LADY HAD NO ANSWERS
BUT STILL I LOVED HER SO (2 X)
BUT LIKE A DOG I STRAYED ONE NIGHT
NOW SHE AIN'T MINE NO MORE
IT SEEMS I LOST 'BOUT EVERYTHING
MY LADY AND MY DOG (2 X)
I'VE LOST AT LOVE TOO MANY TIMES
I THINK I'LL GET ANOTHER DOG
