Good night sweet Susan and
Good night my love
Good night oh dear mama
Good night heavens above
Good night Coyote
Good night my hound
Good night oh you lazy old moon
Good night train southbound
Good night you wicked wind
Good night prairie fire
Good night cool miner's daughter so fair
Good night all you thieves and liars
Goodnight oh you midnight girls
Good night lonesome song
Good night black top that I know so well
Good night everything I've done wrong

Wild Wind

There's a wild wind that blows across the desert she's got teeth like razors she could tear through a man you could give her your heart but she'll never love you and she'll send you back to your mama again
And there's a gambling hall just outside the city I used to frequent there when I was passing through there's a girl there I've never seen such beauty as I set alone at my table
I said all of mine you won't what I had in mind when I closed my eyes
There's a bar I really like inside a ghost town the owner says it's never been so still because the company came and they closed all the miles down and everyone went round and for the hills
Some nights I can't sleep for the darkness creeps into my room through all the cracks and seeds and it scares me to hell and back again so I lay awake and I try not to scream
If I said oh love of mine you weren't what I had in mind when I closed my eyes I said all of my mind you weren't what I had in mind when I closed my eyes

When I Do Die

When I do die would you carry my bones down to The Valley before you lay me to rest with 2 guns on my chest and say boy your fight is over
Sleep now my Bonnie boy you've nothing left fear you've had a good life and I've learned how to die so where do we go from here
I met this girl her name was Clarice she was all that my heart to desire but she'd given her hand to some other man that it was me that should have been there at the altar
She said lie down with me my Bonnie bore you've nothing left to fear though I love you till I die this is good bye so where do we go from here
So I called him out onto the street and we put 30 paces between us and I turned on a diamond my 6 shooter cried when the dust cleared it was him that was bleeding
I said sleep now my Bonnie boy you've nothing left to fear you had a good fight but I'll teach you to die so where do we go from here
So I ran from that town with my family for the sheriff said I'd be dead by morning but I slipped from his grass today hasn't caught me not me yet tho I have a feeling my time is coming
You'll say put up your hands by Ronnie boy you've nothing left to fear you've had a good fight but I'm hanging you tonight so where do we go from here
When I do die would you carry my bones down to The Valley before you lay me to rest for 2 guns on my chest and say boy your fight is over

Get To Me

She was a wild flower and a Desert Storm a gunshot with no time to mourn and like that bullet she was lost and long gone to where I don't know
And I heard she hopped the bus to San Antonio spent all her money chasing ghosts she keeps a picture in the right pocket of her coat of her father long long
And I loved her and I'll miss her and I want her
By the fire she waits at night frozen fingers on a rusty knife she's got that hard old mean looking her eyes saying don't get too close
It's been 3 long years since she lost the baby she still can't bring herself to leave this city she cries herself to sleep all through the month of May and almost every other time
She said I love him and I made him and I want him
It's been a long day and it's been a cold week and it's been a hard year and this life is getting to me his life is getting to me

Mine For A Home
05:04

In the Sandy fields just west of nowhere
That's where he lays them to rest
And he covers them up with rags of satin
And hands his family to death
Twenty years old he was bound for mining
He worked on that steam powered drill
In the dusty grey light he'd sing songs for the lonely
The lost boys who were digging in the hills
Said for all my digging
I'll never strike gold
For all my love and I'm still alone
And for all my drinking my pockets at holes
Sometimes I wish I could mine for a home
Got in a couple of fights had to leave town in a hurry
Got a job with that big tobacco man
Fell in love with the girl but you never remarried
He just couldn't do it again
Said for all my digging
I'll never strike gold
For all my love and I'm still alone
And for all my drinking my pockets at holes
Sometimes I wish I could mine for a home

Dogs In The Daylight

It's tough to pick a favorite track off this album, but there's something about Hard Year that cuts deeper than the rest. I spent many days driving in and out of the Catskill mountains and this album was my compass.
