All Day Long (Working lyric)

All Day Long
Jac Lawson

All day long
hitchn rails and trains
from town to town
never know where I'm stayin

everywhr I go
there's people that I know
from bridges, rivers, trees, to groves
we talk awhile
I sit and smile
while the crickets chirp and sing my song
If you know it then please sing along

Rails and trains
hitchin down a rocky highway
here I stand
I may never be here again
while I am
here's a little song my friend
cause I may never see you again

All day long
on the move
while I squeal my tires to the radio groove

just a trampin
arubber trampin along
my car'd go fast
if I only had the gas
arubber trampin along

Flat tires, oil changes, runaway deer
pedal to the metal with nothing to fear
all around the states with a turn of the wheel

justa trampin along
yea rubber trampin along

[Note: spoken interlude: hey hey what triple a say?)

All day long
I'll hit the road
stickin it out til my thumb is cold

justa hitchn along
kickn rocks all day long
shoes ain't got soles
through the desert I did go
justa hitchn along

heavy frame pack breakin my back
still need water and some scooby snacks
seems im leavin endless tracks
searching for what my life lacks

just a hitchn along
a'roamin a'strong


[note: just my thoughts and some boot rot]

All day long
got nothin to do
so I sit with the blues and hit the booze

justa chugging
justa chuggin along
cold steel rack clickity clack
keeps my bad memories back
I'll keepa chuggin along
keepa chuggin along

life in a box with no time clocks
drinkin and chuggin as the train just rocks
left alone with all my thoughts
who gives a fuck if my liver rots

just a chuggin along
swillin swayin along
swillin swayin along
all the day long

Joan Of Arc (lyric copy)

Joan of Arc
Jac Lawson

Maybe I can't add but the math aint right
have her for a minute or me all night
maybe i'm wrong but if I were you
I'd have
Joan of arc to come home to

And ya
got a princess locked up there
whilea
down here sittin on the stairs
there's a
queen waiting for you to appear
and I
can't make the difference clear
that this
don't happen every year
and I
think I thought our friendship was strong
til I
saw you walking down the street with a blonde
but I
don't want you to think it's wrong
cause I
know exactly just where I belong
but I
thought you'd be more honest and true
anda
come straight to me with the news
cause in
some ways we're partners too
but I
don't want this to worry you
cause this
ain't my way of singing the blues

and
Maybe I can't add but the math ain't right
been sittin here waitin for you all night
and if you weren't so very wrong
you'd have
Joan of Arc sittin in your home

and
Ignore me while your in the lounge
but I'll
see you on the streets when you scrounge
and there
won't be tears running down
or the
slightest incling of any frown
cause I
know why your hangin 'round
and I
won't be a fool of a clown



and
Maybe I can't add but the math aint right
have her for a minute or me all night
maybe i'm wrong but if I were you
I'd have
Joan of arc to come home to


And I
saw you as you were walkin by
and I
whistled
but you couldn't say hi
and it's
ok for you to be that guy
but there
won't be wetness in my eyes
and it
won't be because I despise
the way ya
treat me cause it's no surprise
but I'll
let you live with all your lies
while I'm
still chasing my dreams in the skies

and
Maybe it ain't right
to cave without a fight
but its
no worse than waitin all night
for you ta
come on
strollin by
and if
you weren't so very wrong
you'd have JOan of Arc waitin your home

And yea baby I'm alright
knew you for a moment but this is my life
maybe I'm wrong
but I ain't blue
and I'm gunna love the king I choose
yea I'm gunna love the king I choose
