See me moving without warning.
Fast as mt legs can run
and I'm hanging by a thin wire,
been that way since I was young
Only the good Lord got his reasons,
for turning on his own son.

And he beat up on me real bad.
Bad as a dog can be
He took every smile that I had
And he threw it all back at me
Only the good Lord got his reasons,
Make yo cry until your eyes can't see
Well he burned down all that I had
And he left me beat and blind
Oh he dealt me pain and sorrow
And every fear that he could find
When the good Lord talked to Jesus
Guess I ain't what he had in mind
Oh when the good Lord talked to Jesus
I guess I ain't what he had in mind

All my friends packing up,
Loading up their Volvo's
And their pick up trucks
Going down the road,
To try their luck
So spin that dream,
Go heading for the city
Roll that dice,
Say a prayer,
Light a candle for me
When you get there,
Win or lose,
We're heading for the city

Well I got a problem hear what I say
They're telling me I got to move away
I was happy here,
They tell me I can't stay
Now whats screaming rain is heading this way
For those who sleep and choose to stay
The game they didn't know
They had to play
So win or lose
We're heading for the city
So roll that dice
Say a prayer
Light a candle for me
When you get there,
Win or lose,
We're heading for the city

Someday
My peace will come
Oh I know
My peace will come
I will sleep like a child without pain
Without fear
Like a smile in the afternoon sun
Oh someday
My peace will come
Lord can you hear me
Oh I know you know my name
It's written in the tears
That flow from my pain

Broken hearted broken soul
All my life on the run
But someday
Yeah someday
My peace will come
Someday
My peace will come

Time to get up
Make a move
Put the brain in gear
Cut the groove
Moving slow
With a smiling face
Never look like you want it
'Til it's right in your face

I'm the hustler
Playing my favourite game
Yeah I'm the hustler
Everybody knows my name

Well I can get all around you
While I think you stand still
The way you tell me you won't
Let's me know that you will
Last thing you tell them
Is what you came here for
The're never going to find out
'Til you way out the door
'Cos I'm the hustler
Playing my favourite game
Yeah I'm the hustler
Everybody knows my name

You got to love the work you do
How long it takes
Ain't important to you
Don't care whats in it
Loving every minute
Every minute, every hour
Every second of the day
Little by little
I see it coming my way

I'm the hustler
Playing my favourite game
Yeah I'm the hustler
Everybody knows my name

Time to get up
She shines her light where just before
There was only
A cold wind blowing
She understands what makes me smile
And lets me know that
Without showing
I need to tell her, need to show her
How deep she goes

Inside of me
She is the stone that breaks the hard shell
And rings out the loudest bell
With whispered words that scream out
All the peace in me

Give that girl a diamond
Yeah give that girl a diamond
And say it's from me
A blue reflected light
Way past the darkest place
My only private night
Of fearful dreams
She is stone that stabs my shield of steel
The peace that she makes me feel
With whispered words
I need to tell her
Need to show her
How deep she goes
Inside of me

Give that girl a diamond
Give that girl a diamond
And say it's from me

And your life
Is blowing over
A little faster every day
Better stop for a while
And it think it over
Cos you know for sure
You lost your way
Does what's around you really matter?
is there something left undone?
A simple dream you left behind you
Now the truth has got you
Undone

Are you ready?
Oh tell me
Are you ready?
Are you ready?

Big old snake o' red tail lights
Lookin' for a drain
Pretty red, like diamond bright
become your ball and chain

If you ever reach the other side,
it will never be this way
They tie you down with your own high hopes,
you better listen what I say

Long is the time, and hard is the road
Everybody lookin' for a place
to put down their heavy load

Fat cat screamin' up above
'cause he don't get no second chance
He's passing down his reckless fear
he kick your chains and make you dance

Dance around his daydream
'till he gets to fly away
you find a dagger in your back
you better listen what I say

Long is the time, and hard is the road
Everybody lookin' for a place
to put down their heavy load

Oh, long is the time and hard is the road
Hard is the road

[solo]

Oh, long is the time and hard is the road
Everybody lookin' for a place
to put down their heavy load

Long is the time, and hard is the road.

We can't do it for the money,
They don't do cash no more
We can't do it because we do it so well
'Ain't nobody left to keep the score
They changed the rules
Made us look like fools
Send us lies from way above
Lets do it
Hear what I say
Lets do it
'Cos we're busted anyway
Let's do it, lets do it for the love

You've still got
your left hook
I've still got my jab
They're so dumb they never see it coming
We were the best they ever had
They slapped our faces with a belt of lies
Now you know what I'm thinking of
Let's do it... hear what I say
Let's do it... 'cos we're busted any way
Let's do it? lets do it for the love

Let's do it anyway?

You take the right, I'll take the left?
Let's do it.. let's do it for the love?
