Summer days, summer nights are gone
Summer days and the summer nights are gone
I know a place where there's still somethin' going on
I got a house on a hill, I got hogs all out on in the mud
I got a house on a hill, I got hogs out lying in the mud
Got a long haired woman, she got royal Indian blood
Everybody get ready - lift up your glasses and sing
Everybody get ready to lift up your glasses and sing
Well, I'm standin' on the table, I'm proposing a toast to the King
Well I'm drivin' in the flats in a Cadillac car
The girls all say, "You're a worn out star"
My pockets are loaded and I'm spending every dime
How can you say you love someone else when you know it's me all the time?
Well, the fog's so thick you can't spy the land
The fog is so thick that you can't even spy the land
What good are you anyway, if you can't stand up to some old businessman?
Wedding bells ringin', the choir is beginning to sing
Yes, the wedding bells are ringing and the choir is beginning to sing
What looks good in the day, at night is another thing
She's looking into my eyes, she's holding my hand
She's looking into my eyes, she's holding my hand
She says, "You can't repeat the past." I say, "You can't? What do you mean, you can't? Of course you can."
Where do you come from? Where do you go?
Sorry that's nothin' you would need to know
Well, my back has been to the wall for so long, it seems like it's stuck
Why don't you break my heart one more time just for good luck
I got eight carburetors, boys I'm using 'em all
Well, I got eight carburetors and boys, I'm using 'em all
I'm short on gas, my motor's starting to stall
My dogs are barking, there must be someone around
My dogs are barking, there must be someone around
I got my hammer ringin', pretty baby, but the nails ain't goin' down
You got something to say, speak or hold your peace
Well, you got something to say, speak now or hold your peace
If it's information you want you can go get it from the police
Politician got on his jogging shoes
He must be running for office, got no time to lose
He been suckin' the blood out of the genius of generosity
You been rolling your eyes - you been teasing me
Standing by God's river, my soul is beginnin' to shake
Standing by God's river, my soul is beginnin' to shake
I'm countin' on you love, to give me a break
Well, I'm leaving in the morning as soon as the dark clouds lift
Yes, I'm leaving in the morning just as soon as the dark clouds lift
Gonna break the roof in - set fire to the place as a parting gift
Summer days, summer nights are gone
Summer days, summer nights are gone
I know a place where there's still somethin' going on
My Boots And Sombrero.
From Maine To Spain Vol 1
A LostChords compilation, July 2008
"My boots and sombrero,
My saddle my spurs,
If I die tomorrow,
Everything will be hers."
(new lyrics in "Beyond The Horizon")
Many thanks to Stew for support, recommendations & artwork
Many thanks to all the tapers for their great work!
I tried to put this compilation together as a very subjective overview of this tour and combined some of the better one-off performances ("I Shall Be Released", "Make You Feel My Love", "Can't Wait", "Every Grain Of Sand", "Cry A While") with some of my favourite versions of old and new standards: a swinging "Summer Days" with great guitar work by Freeman, Kimball & Herron; a tremendous "Like A Rolling Stone"; the re-arranged "Tangled Up In Blue" (the audience in Varazdin was very talkative but for me this performance was the best version); "Rollin' And Tumblin'" with an extended slide solo by Denny Freeman; a very fine "Just Like A Woman" with the audience singing the refrain & another excellent solo by Freeman closing the song; "Spirit Of The Water", with Freeman once again quoting "Blue Moon" during his solo; a reinvigorated "Honest With Me" with Donnie Herron's ominous and very effective pedal steel riff; a very beautiful "Sugar Baby" from Salzburg.
I hope it's an enjoyable compilation.
A second volume (I think I will call it "My saddle And Spurs") is in preparation & should be ready in a couple of weeks.
