Rosalie Come And Go lyrics - Ryan Adams

I knew a girl named Rosalie
We used to hang out in the park
We used to score the system grease
From the fellas after dark
We used to sail the streets at night
Used to hang out on the rain
She had a bad time in the barrack
Caught a bullet in the teeth

Rosalie come go
Rosalie come stay
Rosalie come go
I never liked you anyway

I knew a girl named Mary Ann
She had a camera and a cane
She used to walk me to the station
When I was dying in the rain

She was a friend of Rosalie's
They had a nurse they liked to share
Well, Mary Ann was doing the doctor
You know, his covers went bare

Rosalie come go
Rosalie come stay
Rosalie come go
I never liked you anyway

Rosalie come go
Rosalie come stay
Rosalie come go
I never liked you anyway

I knew a boy named Billy Haynes
He had it all figured out
He had a trail of dust and branches marked
To get him back down south

But the blue lights had his number
And he was sweating hard from the heat
He got a pack of bullets in his satchel
Down on forty second street

Rosalie come go
Rosalie come stay
Rosalie come go
I never liked you anyway

Rosalie come go
Rosalie come stay
Rosalie come go

The Fools We Are As Men lyrics - Ryan Adams

Lord, Lord, can you hear me? Oh, I am in pain
And I don't have a woman left to blame anymore
She left me this morning
So why does the wind go howling her name?
Are your angels just children laughing insane
At the fools we are as men? Go count me in

Lord, Lord, can you hear me? Oh, I am not well
And I spend all my time here in this cell of my heart
An actor not given a part
So why does the wind go howling her name?
Are your angels just children laughing insane
At the fools we are as men? Go count me in

Lord, Lord, take my hand and please, please, lead me through
I have no one and I am counting on you, now that I'm old
And I'm so scared of dying alone
And how does the wind go howling her name?
Are your angels just children laughing insane
At the fools we are as men? Go count me in

Sweet Black Magic lyrics - Ryan Adams

Sweet black magic coming down the line
Sweet black magic coming down the line
Don't worry, little honey,'bout the money you'll be feelin' fine
'Cause I'm gonna see the doctor,
Got some money and he'll get us high

Sweet Los Angeles in the fall
Sweet Los Angeles in the fall
As pretty as a picture ain't nobody out shakin at all
Don't worry, little honey, got some money, gonna get us off.

Sweet black magic
Sweet black magic
Sweet black magic coming down the line

Sweet black magic coming down the line
Sweet black magic coming down the line
Well, I'm gonna see the doctor, gonna get us what our money can buy
Don't worry, little honey, got some money, gonna get us high

Sweet black magic
Sweet black magic
Sweet black magic coming down the line

The Bar Is A Beautiful Place lyrics - Ryan Adams

I hang my head down on Hollywood
'Cause either way, up or down, it's just stars
And I'm making my way down the Cherokee
To get drunk in a bar
And I know my friends they worry about me
I can see it written on their face
Despite anything I might have said before
The bar is a beautiful place
Sha na na na na na, sha na na na na, sha la la la
Sha na na na na na, sha na na na na, sha la la la

I got a cold in my heart that the doctor can't feel
He said "Go get you a beer"
But they don't let the sunshine come in here
Sha la, sha la la la

Where the hookers and thieves and the junkies play
It's a circus round here for sure
And I worry about how I'm fitting in
If I only had her
And I know my friends they worry about me
I can see it written on their face
But despite anything I might have said before
The bar is a beautiful place
Sha na na na na na, sha na na na na, sha la la la
Sha na na na na na, sha na na na na, sha la la la

Ain't it strange, I see your face in the window of a store
Holding me back from throwing my bottles out at the cars
Sha la, sha la la la

So hey there, Miss Samuels
Hey, Laura, I'm thinking of you
Would you take an old drunk as is
If he was sweet to you?
And tomorrow you'll probably give up on me
I won't blame you, hell, I'll celebrate
'Cause despite anything you may have ever said to me
The bar is a beautiful place
Sha na na na na na, sha na na na na, sha la la la
Sha na na na na na, sha na na na na, sha la la la

Cannonball Days lyrics - Ryan Adams

What's come to stay from your cannonball days
But a house and some clothes on the line?
You fired away with your drunken brigade
In the streets of New York as a child
A woman so fine, yeah, fine as a girl
Slow like an Italian wine
Her hair all a mess and her dress all disheveled
But all of your roses have died

Better luck in the next life
'Cause your gonna need it, dear
Loved you back then but I couldn't say when
All of your roses have died
All of your roses have died

I tasted your lips, put my hands on your hips
Danced in apartment A-9
Your cats on the sill and my head to your breast
Feeding your rhythms divine

A west Jersey queen with a rattle machine
Tasted the salt through your skin
Loved you back then but I couldn't say when
All of your roses have died

Better luck in the next life
Go give them some hell and goodbye
Loved you back then but I couldn't say when
All of your roses have died
All of your roses have died

A bask in the heat down on Christopher Street
Bought you a rose from a bum
Left you a note that I stuffed in your coat
You laughed and you said it was dumb

You broke like a stem and I guess you're with him
I'm sure that he treats you just fine
So bottoms up, cheers, baby, here's to your tears
All of your roses have died

Better luck in the next life
I'll miss you but go on, goodbye
I feel like a straight from his cannonball days
When all of your roses were mine
When all of your roses were mine

Aching For More lyrics - Ryan Adams

The static on the TV
The static on the news
The sky over the city
It's purple and bruised

Dark clouds rolling in
Still no word from you
Concrete slabs and rust
And nothing to do

You know you're breaking my heart
You know what you're breaking
And my heart's still aching for it
You know you're breaking my heart
You know what you're breaking
And my heart's still aching for more

Out on the horizon
I see a blood red sun
Streets filled with trash
Neon and honking cars

Stalled out on the runway
Our train's got so lost
Poison the gasoline
To broken to take off

You know you're breaking my heart
You know what you're breaking
And my heart's still aching for it
You know you're breaking my heart
You know what you're breaking
And my heart's still aching for more

You know you're breaking my heart
You know what you're breaking
And my heart's still aching for it
You know you're breaking my heart
You know what you're breaking
And my heart's still aching for more

No promises, no hope
Nobody left to use
They gave you enough rope
So you can learn to tie the noose

Sometimes nothing's right
So there's nothing left to lose
We're all headed to the same place
Either direction you choose

You know you're breaking my heart
You know what you're breaking
And my heart's still aching for it
You know you're breaking my heart
You know what you're breaking
And my heart's still aching for it

You know you're breaking my heart
You know you're breaking my heart
You know you're breaking my heart
You know what you're breaking
And my heart's still aching for more

How Much Light lyrics - Ryan Adams

How much time do I have left for dreaming
All my life I've been searching for meaning
All my life I've never seen so much light

How much time 'til the wait is over and we
flicker in the night like the streetlights on the boulevard
with the moonless sky on an endless night
How much time

The way back home's through the wild and the winds
The way back home's in your arms
All my life I've been searching for someone and
I could never get it right
I could never get it right
I've never seen so much light

How much light 'til the ocean tips over and it
crashes on the beach like its blacker than it's bluer
Underneath the sun in a cloudless sky
How much light

How much sound 'til my name starts breaking
My hearts all done and it's yours for the taking
All my life I've never seen so much light

The way back home's through the wild and the winds
The way back home's in your arms
All my life I've been searching for something and
I could never get it right
I could never get it right
I could never get it right
And then i found you, I've never seen so much light
Seen so much light
So much light

I Do Not Feel Like Being Good lyrics - Ryan Adams

I do not fee like being good
Come crawling out of the cages in the night and be quick
The blue light fades into the palms
And the moon is on the rise and the wolves they howl along

Oohhh
Stuck on a dream in rewind
Oohhh
This is where we meet in my mind

The sky's on fire, your hairs a mess
I go over all the ways that we undress and I sit
Breath so slow I forget
Back against the wall in the place where you and I met

Oohhh
Can't remember nothing she said
Oohhh
This is where we meet in my head
Oohhh

Heavy eyes the color grey
Fallin to the sidewalk storm risin up between the grates
Slow cars snake in the night
The moons all fucked up and it crashes into the riverside

Oohhh
Blasted on my radio dial
Oohhh
This is where we meet in my mind

On the roof I watch the trains
Barrel off into the distance until I can feel he dust on my face
I'm on a long refrain
But the sound of my luck running of with your lead

A light you held to the blue
The bricks off the buildings across from me and you
Or the ticking of my watch
Counting me backwards until I got lost

Stuck on a dream in rewind
Oohhh
This is where we meet in my mind
Oohhh
This is where we meet in my mind

I Keep Running lyrics - Ryan Adams

Look at all the trains in the railway yard
None of them go
And there's nothing in the house but shadows now
And me in the window

Nothing's gonna move
And how does a wish do anything but borrow?
Borrowing, stealing how do my wishes go?

I'm faster than the pain
That's running through my veins
And you can't break my heart if you don't know my name
I keep running

Moving in time with the clicking of the clock
And the static on the radio
My hands move fast and my body moves slow

Light and shadows play and they move across your dress
Like a moon in the willows
Hands on her stomach, her head on a pillow
Pressing all her buttons like the numbers in a telephone

I'm faster than the pain
That's running through my veins
And you can't break my heart if you don't know my name
I keep running

And clouds roll over the house
The sky is blue and gray
There ain't no reason why
But I think about those days
I keep running

I'm faster than the pain
That's running through my veins
And you can't break my heart if you don't know my name
I keep running

I'm faster than the pain
That's running through my veins
And you can't break my heart if you don't know my name
I keep running
I keep running
I keep running

In The Dark lyrics - Ryan Adams

I'm speaking of a time
Before it was black and white
And the grass still smelled of summer in the day
And I recall your silence
Your laughter in the dark
Moving through my mind where nothing stays

And you're just like the picture on the wall
And I'm always on the other side
Waiting for it to fall
Dreaming of savannah
Walking through the cherokee groves
Some place in the dark in your arms

Street cars ringing them bells
Pink clouds when I'm kissing your mouth
My memories going boom all over town
And there's history in them hills
But if magic isn't real
Well, even bad roads lead to cherries in the south

And you're just like the picture on the wall
And I'm always on the other side
Waiting for it to fall
Earthquake in the valley
Refrigerator starting to thaw
And I'm some place in the dark in your arms
Some place in the dark in your arms

Jacksonville lyrics - Ryan Adams

They're tearing down another building in my hometown
It's like I don't know it anymore
Your house, two cars in the drive, blankets in the window
Even though you don't answer, we tried

You have gone missing from my life
You have gone missing from my life
You have gone missing from my life
My life

Oh Jacksonville
Oh Jacksonville

In my hometown, it's all slow motion
Driving to my house, it's empty now
No one's inside
Looking through the windows in the back
Right into the kitchen where the tables and chairs were at

You have gone missing from my life
You have gone missing from my life
Buried my feelings I can't cry

Oh Jacksonville
Oh Jacksonville
Oh Jacksonville
Oh
Oh

They're tearing down another building in the neighborhood
It's like I don't remember, but I should
My life, a letter you could write
On how to keep your hands up in front of your face when you fight

Oh Jacksonville
Oh Jacksonville
Oh
Oh
Oh Jacksonville
Oh Jacksonville
Oh
Oh

No Shadow lyrics - Ryan Adams

The veil is lifted
And the sun is on the rise
This machine ain't workin'
You got to kick it on sight, kick it on sight

If you think you're stronger than this
You're wrong
I am with you, you are safe
And you will always belong

So many faces in our pockets so slow down
Repeat this, until tomorrow
Wear a new disguise when you come around
When you come around

If you think you're stronger than this
You're wrong
I am with you, you are safe
And you will always belong

Life is a birdsong
Life is a birdsong
Life is a birdsong
What am I to you?
What am I to you?
No shadow, no shadow
What am I to you?
What am I to you?
No shadow, no shadow

The veil is lifted
And the sun is on the rise
This machine ain't workin'
You got to kick it on sight

Shine Through The Dark lyrics - Ryan Adams

One, two, three, four
Whatever happened to the old me
Whatever happened to us
Whatever it was it doesn’t matter now
Those days went speeding by
And left us in the dust
The car's on empty
It rattles and rusts

Whatever misses is permanent
A red wine stain or a scar
Like one of those if you flip the negative
Knew who I was, and even before
I even knew
Now just look who we are

And these wheels turn fast
These wheels turn bright
Reflecting every blurry moon that long goes shining
Shining through the dark of the night
Shining through the dark of the night

You know that house I don't want to buy
I want to buy it for you
The walls are made out of the wishes I make
When I close my eyes
And I’m lying here with you

Whatever misses is everything
My feet are sore and blue
Everything I ever said I did before
Was just to get me here
Get me here next to you

And these wheels turn fast
These wheels turn bright
Reflecting every moon that long goes shining
Shining through the dark of the night
These wheels turn fast
These wheels turn bright
Reflecting every moon that long goes shining
Shining through the dark of the night
Shining through the dark of the night
Shining through the dark of the night
Shining through the dark of the night

Shining through the dark of the night

Walkedypants lyrics - Ryan Adams

I'm a Walkedypants
On your legs
Around your legs
Moving in the breeze

I'm going to Rhode Island on vacation
Can't find the hotel on the internet
Cause they haven't built it yet

Mister Walkedypants
Shake a leg, Mister
If I'm going down to green bean town on my own on the bus and I think I'm gonna ditch your sister
Mister Mister Walkedypants

Christian Slater
You did good in that movie True Romance
Walkedy-face-pants

John Lennon walks into a bar
He orders a Scotch egg
Randy's over in the corner with a Def Leppard T-shirt
He says
Look at Mister Walkedypants!

Mister Walkedypants
Fuck you
And fuck that "beep", too
Slut

If you're going to get one you gotta learn to take a chance
Fuck you, Mister Walkedypants
Yeah, uh-huh
Mister Walkedypants
Oh yeah

When That Wild Wind Blows lyrics - Ryan Adams

I miss you all the time
walkin, out in the streets in the blisterin cold
Wish I could bring you back diamonds or sandwiches
At the house, it ain’t nothing but cold
I had a real love baby, what happened?
Pick your number and then they call it out
I miss you all the time
Walkin, holdin hands, after dark

I feel like a moon eclipsing on the car lights out in the lot
Sometimes bein yours is everything ya know I just haven’t got
If your gonna give your heart away
Don’t love em for what they’re not
Cause when that wild wind calls, ya gotta get movin on

I miss your voice so kind, and gentle, like a machine built for calmin a storm
And all the leaves outside are turnin, evergreen into orange and brown
I had a real love baby what happened
Get reservations at our restaurant
I miss you all the time, chairs empty
Sittin alone at the table in thought

I feel like a moon eclipsing on the car lights out in the lot
Sometimes bein yours is everything ya know I just haven’t got
If your gonna give your heart away
Don’t love em for what they’re not
Cause when that wild wind calls, ya gotta get movin on
When that wild wind calls, ya gotta get movin on
