[Verse 1]
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I can see everything tonight
I got a room where everyone
Can have a drink and forget those things
That went wrong in their life

[Chorus]
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
And I ain't coming down, I ain't coming down

[Verse 2]

I got someone who loves me tonight
I got over a thousand dollars in the bank and I'm alright
Look deep in the eyes of love, look deep in the eyes of love
And find out what you were looking for

[Chorus]

I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
And I ain't coming down, no
I ain't coming down (Yeah)
[Bridge]

I wish I could feel you tonight, little one
You're so far away
I want to reach out and touch your heart
Yeah like they do in those things on TV, I love you
Please love me, I'm not so bad
And I love you so

[Chorus]

I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
I got a room at the top of the world tonight
And I ain't coming down, no
I ain't coming down, no
I ain't coming down

I want you to be my little lover
I want you to be my power glide

Oh, oh, oh, little girl, don't misunderstand me
'Cause there's a rumor going around
Somebody's going to let me down
And I don't know what it's all about
Or if it's true
I'm counting on you

I want you to drive my El Dorado
I want you to fly my aeroplane

Oh, oh, oh, little girl, don't misunderstand me
'Cause there's a rumor going around
Somebody's going to let me down
And I don't know what it's all about
Or if it's true
I'm counting on you
Counting on you

Well, I saw your reflection in the river
And I swear I heard you in the wind

Oh, oh, oh, little girl, don't misunderstand me
'Cause there's a rumor going around
Somebody's going to let me down
And I don't know what it's all about
Or if it's true
I'm counting on you
Counting on you
Counting on you
Oh, oh, oh
Counting on you
Counting on you

I want you to be my little lover
I want you to be my power glide

Oh, oh, oh, little girl, don't misunderstand me
'Cause there's a rumor going around
Somebody's going to let me down
And I don't know what it's all about
Or if it's true
I'm counting on you

I want you to drive my El Dorado
I want you to fly my aeroplane

Oh, oh, oh, little girl, don't misunderstand me
'Cause there's a rumor going around
Somebody's going to let me down
And I don't know what it's all about
Or if it's true
I'm counting on you
Counting on you

Well, I saw your reflection in the river
And I swear I heard you in the wind

Oh, oh, oh, little girl, don't misunderstand me
'Cause there's a rumor going around
Somebody's going to let me down
And I don't know what it's all about
Or if it's true
I'm counting on you
Counting on you
Counting on you
Oh, oh, oh
Counting on you
Counting on you

One day you'll live for a reason
One day you'll be gone
No more when you walk from the table
No longer will you bow down

Hey, baby, you're a free girl now
Hey, baby, you're a free girl now
Hey, baby, you're a free girl now
Hey, baby, you're a free girl now

She's a lonely girl lost in the world
Got love in her eyes for me
She's a sweet young thing
Brings me dreams in a box she made for me

Lonesome sundown
This is gonna be hard
It's a lonesome sundown
This is gonna be hard
I know, so don't let go
This is gonna be hard

I'll never let you down
This love I've found, it means too much to me
And I stand accused outside the law
But you are all I need

Lonesome sundown
This is gonna be hard
It's a lonesome sundown
This is gonna be hard
I know, so don't let go
This is gonna be hard

Redemption comes to those who wait
Forgiveness is the key
And I wish you love and I wish you hope
Please believe in me

Lonesome sundown
This is gonna be hard
It's a lonesome sundown
This is gonna be hard
I know, so don't let go
This is gonna be hard

Well, she was standing by the highway
In her boots and silver spurs
Gonna hitchhike to the yellow moon
When a Cadillac stopped for her
And she said, "Hey, nice to meet you
Are you goin' my way?"
Yeah, that's when it happened
The world caught fire that day

And she went down swingin'
Yeah, she went down swingin'

Well, she was over twenty-one
In trouble with the law
And it didn't faze her none
She called her mother-in-law
And said "I need a little money
I know I can count on you
After that night in Vegas
And the hell that we went through"

We went down swingin'
Like Benny Goodman
Yeah, we went down swingin'
Yes, we did

Moonlight on the interstate
She was 'cross the Georgia line
Looked out the window feeling great
Yeah, it had to come in time
And she said, "I'm never going back"
She said, "At last, I'm free
I wish Ma could see me now
She'd be so proud of me"

She went down swingin'
Like Glenn Miller
Yeah, she went down swingin'
Like Tommy Dorsey
Yeah, she went down swingin'
Like Sammy Davis
She went down swingin'
Like Sonny Liston

You speak to me in natural harmony
Like we both grew up with nothing
And I can't believe my own memory
But it one day could be coming

And I don't even know the wrong I've done
And I don't even care anymore
All I know is I believe that you and me
Forever will stand accused of love

Watched the sun go down behind London Town
I was burnt, stood up in Mayfair
I caught a train, black car through the rain
From the trust that hung betrayed there

And I don't even know the wrong I've done
And I don't even care anymore
All I know is I believe that you and me
Forever will stand accused of love

Well, the attorney grins, the witness is drug in
With his face half hid in shadow
Sworn to God and State, the truth arrives too late
And defense goes out the window

And we don't even know the wrong we've done
And we don't even care anymore
All I know is I believe that you and me
Forever will stand accused of love
Will stand accused of love
Will stand accused of love

Put down your things and rest a while
You know we've both nowhere to go
Yeah, Daddy had to crash
He's always halfway there, you know
And no, I don't pretend there's any more of that
They say one day, you'll look up and laugh

And hear the same sad echo when you walk
Yeah, the same sad echo when you talk loud and clear
It's the same as the same sad echo around here

I promise you this winter
I will worship you like gold
And ride your train forever
Electric fortunes to be told
And I don't want to question or even celebrate
All the joy you took and then gave back too late

It's the same sad echo when you lie
It's the same sad echo when you try to be clear
It's the same as the same sad echo around here

Well, I woke up right here in a pool of sweat
And with a box of pills and you
Yeah and I'm going to keep my head
I'm going to keep my cool, I'm so in love with you
Yes and in another world, nothing was like this
There may have been a girl, there never was a kiss

You and me been over this ground
Over this ground before
I can't explain
I can't explain
I can't explain anymore
Oh it's hard to watch you go

I'm down but it won't last long
I'm down but it won't last long

Don't let me down
Don't let me down
Don't let me down like this

It's not the same
Over and over
Over and over again
Yeah, this is not my day

[Chorus)

Half my brain has gone away
Half my brain has gone
So far away

(Chorus)

Don't shake me up
Don't burn me out
I'm hurt and you won't let me in
Yeah, this is not my day

(Chorus)

Well, I heard you in the back room
Your friends had a laugh on me
Passed my name through the cantina
Yeah, your face was hard to read
Something in your demeanor
Should have given you away
But I was desperate for a friend
I was getting used to making mistakes

Well, I went down hard
Like Billy the Kid
Yeah, I went down hard
Yeah, but I got up again

I remember you, my baby
I remember you so well
And your house out in the suburbs
You had your wishing well
They say be careful who you believe
Be careful who you trust
Did you smile when you pulled the trigger
That dropped me in the dust?

Well, I went down hard
Like Billy the Kid
Yeah, I went down hard
Yeah, but I got up again

Well, you caught me in the bedroom
Cotton fever in a sweat
I was fighting for recovery
But I wasn't giving up yet
You offered no assistance
Yeah, you looked at me and you lied
Yeah, though it really stunned me
When you went to the other side

Well, I went down hard
Like Billy the Kid
Yeah, I went down hard
Oh, but I got up again
I went down hard
Like Billy the Kid
I went down hard
Oh, but I got up again
I went down hard
Like Billy the Kid
I went down hard
Yeah, I got up again

I got a hole in my head
I got a hole in my head
I'd be better off dead
I got a hole in my head

I don't wanna fight
I don't wanna fight
I don't wanna fight
I'm a lover, lover, lover

You're always laughing at me
You're always laughing at me
Yeah, when nothing's really funny
You're always laughing at me

(Chorus)

You got a pretty face
You got a pretty face
But it's such a waste
You got a pretty face

(Chorus)

This one's for me, this one's for me
Not for anyone else, I need it, you see
I threw all I had into the sea
Now I want a little back, this one's for me

Lover, I found the mistakes I've made
Will follow me down into my grave
So much has gone by, so many to please
Well this one I'll keep, this one's for me

And you don't even know what you've got
'Til it's walking away
Yeah, you don't even know what you've had
'Til it laughs in your face

Some other time, some other day
We'll sing this again some other way
So much has gone by, don't know where to start
Well this one I'll keep here in my heart

And you don't even know what you want
Until it's walking away
Yeah, you don't even know what you had
'Til it laughs in your face

This one's for me, this one's for me
Not for anyone else, I need it, you see
I threw all I had into the sea
Now I want a little back, this one's for me

And you don't even know what you've got
'Til it's walking away
Yeah, you don't even know what you've had
'Til it laughs in your face

No more
No more
I ain't going to do it no more
It used to be a big deal
But I ain't going to do it
If it ain't real

Big money
Big plans
You stand with a ticket in your hand
You don't play, you can't win
But I ain't going to do it
'Til I feel it again

When I see that sun go down
My mind begins to clear
Sure was a hard time
It sure was a hard time, my dear

No more
No more
I ain't going to do it no more
It used to be a big deal
But I ain't going to do it
If it ain't real

No, I ain't going to do it
If it ain't real

Ricky and Dicky standing in the sun
Out there on that highway and the dog wouldn't run
Ricky rolled a number, Dicky raised the hood
Time we hit Daytona, I was feeling pretty good

Oh Mama, I'm about to give out
Oh Mama, I'm about to give out
I'm Davey Crockett in a coonskin town
Oh Mama, I'm about to give out

Karaoke Katie drove the crowd wild
Every time she'd sing they'd come in for miles
Curtain came up, Katie came on
Drinking like a lumberjack and singing "Delta Dawn"

Oh Mama, I'm about to give out
Oh Mama, I'm about to give out
I'm Davey Crockett in a coonskin town
Oh Mama, I'm about to give out

Yeah, I hit town hard last night
Abraham and Moses, some other friends of mine
Moses started drinking, he got a little rude
We woke up in the bushes, beat to Hell and nude

Oh Mama, I'm about to give out
Oh Mama, I'm about to give out
I'm Davey Crockett in a coonskin town
Oh Mama, I'm about to give out
I'm Roy Rogers in a one-horse town
Oh Mama, I'm about to give out

I'm about to give out
I'm about to give out

You need rhino skin
If you're going to begin
To walk through this world

You need elephant balls
If you don't want to crawl
On your hands through this world

Oh my love, if I reveal
Every secret I've concealed
How many thoughts would you steal?
How much of my pain would you feel?

You need eagles wings
To get over things
That make no sense in this world

You need rhino skin
If you're gonna pretend
You are not hurt by this world

If you listen long enough
You can hear my skin grow tough
Love is painful to the touch
Must be made of stronger stuff

You need rhino skin
To get to the end
Of the maze through this world

You need rhino skin
Or you're gonna give in
To the needles and pins
Arrows of sin
Evils of men
You need rhino skin

One more night, God, I've had to fight
To keep my line of sight on what's real
One more day, I fear I've lost my way
I don't know how to say what I feel

Someone better hurry, I'm all alone
I keep breaking down, breaking down, you know?
No one ever taught me to be on my own
Yeah, I keep breaking down, breaking down, you know?

One more night, my eyes reflect the light
In the distance, something bright appears
One more day, it's too hard to explain
What goes on in my brain is not clear

Someone better hurry, I'm all alone
I keep breaking down, breaking down, you know?
No one ever taught me to be on my own
Yeah, I keep breaking down, breaking down, you know?

So hold on one more night
Hold out one more day
Hold on one more night
Hold out one more day

There'll be one more night and things will be made right
Again I'll hold you tight, my dear
One more day and I'll collect my pay
And soon be far away from here
