Broken Record
04:18

I sinned a lot
I liked it a lot
I been to jail
For beating up cops
I traveled far
I broke some hearts
Them girls down South
Love a ramblin man
In Tijuana, In Ciudad Juarez
In El Paso and Louisiana
I hid from the law
And a few Mexicans
Wanderin’ down a highway with no end
But now I’m old
Before my time
My stories are cold
Heard a million times
Nobody cares
Just empty words
My life on the road
Is a broken record
A broken record

No Tienes Corazon

He said "I never loved another
I never touched another one
Wanted to be your daughter’s father
And the father of your first son
Build a house that’s like no other
A place for us to call our home
To love you every single hour
And long after we’re dead and gone
But you chose to love another
And then again another one
Stepped with your boots upon my flowers (your boots upon my flowers)
Coz Sugar, no tienes corazón
I won’t kill you or your lover
In the morning I’ll just be gone
And I will never love another
I’ll never trust another one
Sugar, no tienes corazón
Sugar, no tienes corazón
Sugar, no tienes corazón"

Drive Like Steve McQueen
04:29
|

|
I wish I could start a car on the street
Throw my bag on the passenger seat
And drive through the pouring rain to your house
Screeching tires and blinding car lights
I’d drive like Steve McQueen
I would honk the dead back to life
Scream your name in the pouring rain
With both my arms raised to your balcony
I’d scream how much I love you, that we should marry
I’d drive like Steve McQueen
How it all went wrong is an old story
Of pride, unspoken words and bad timing
But I’d drive because love is so much stronger
Than the clumsiness of its owner
I’d drive like Steve McQueen
I can’t open a car without the keys
I don’t own a damn car and I’m scared that maybe
You’ll keep your window closed and call the police
You’ll keep your window closed and call the police
There’s a girl out there she says she’s Steve McQueen ….
I ain’t no Steve McQueen….I Ain’t no Steve McQueen…

Broken Hearted

I don’t wanna be broken hearted
Listen to Lucinda and cry
World Without Tears is still the best thing I heard
But I don’t want to sing about black feathered birds
I don’t wanna be broken hearted
I don’t wanna be broken hearted … again
Things are what they are
People do what they can
But once it’s all gone way too far
There’s no going back again
I’ve loved you every single day
In every shade of blue
I don’t wanna start living again
The way I lived before you
I don’t wanna be broken hearted
Listen to Lucinda and cry
World Without Tears is still the best thing I heard
But I don’t want to sing about black feathered birds
I don’t wanna be broken hearted
I don’t wanna be broken hearted … again

The East in Me
04:25
|
|||
|
The way I look some think I’m Italian
The way I talk they’d swear, American
It don't matter how my blood has been mixed
But my heart always rises to the East
It’s always been the East in me
That’s all there is to me
I may look West and love the South
But there is no sunset in my heart
I’ve been around so much so many times
That I forgot the first reason for all my rhymes
The workers, the people and the factories
And the fields by the border in the East
It’s always been the East in me
That’s all there is to me
I may look West and love the South
But there is no sunset in my heart

If Only You Had Called
02:46
|

I woke up with the phone in my hand
The pillow wet from the tears I cried
Another day without you once again
By the time I left the house my pillow had dried
I dressed up and put my cowboy boots
You don’t see many like these ‘round here
And the boys they know that kind of blues
It’s their luck when a girl is holding back her tears
If only you had called
I wouldn’t be where I am
If only you had called
We could have started all over again
I woke up with the phone in my hand
I know none of this mess feels right
But you wouldn’t call, no message you sent
So I used another boy to say goodbye

If It's Over
02:35
|
|||
|
You said soon I'll be on my way
I'll let you down you'd bet
And slowly we drifted apart and away
Just like you said
If it's over let me cry
Let me break down and cry
Let me lie on the floor
Call your name ’til I can't speak anymore
Who did what to whom and why
Who gave up on us first
I guess we both really did try
But all that's left now is hurt
And the memory of our talks
And the sound of your footsteps in the hall
The hour when you used to stop by
And the usual why-oh-why
If it's over let me cry
Let me break down and cry
Let me lie on the floor
Call your name ’til I can't speak anymore

She sleeps to forget her sorrow
He drinks so he won’t be home
They used to hope that tomorrow
Would be better but no more
She sleeps like she’s drifting on a boat
He gets blown by strangers and whores
She used to see something there
He used to only think of her
She sleeps to forget her sorrow
They have no more conversation at all
Nothing in common nothing at all
They just let it all go wrong
She sleeps to forget her sorrow
He drives sometimes until dawn
They used to love each other a lot
So they’ll stay coz it feels like a home

Salt & Sugar
06:03
|

|
I would let you drive,
if you’d only ask me out
But I’m not such a looker
and you’re not a great driver
I know you like me better when I’m down
You’re about to like me better than ever
Be patient and be brave,
I keep telling that to myself
But things are always harder
for a constant foreigner
And you can’t believe what you found
A girl that doesn’t even cost you dinner
I wish to be happy with you,
I’ve seen stranger things come true
But maybe you like it better,
with more salt than sugar
And when I will hit the ground
They’ll say “Maybe something pushed her”
