Desperado

Tell me baby, what I gotta do
I’ve been waiting for a lifetime to find a girl like you
You’re so cool, baby, I’m no fool
Takes one to know one, and I found you
I’m just a desperado, down by Mexico
I’ve been everywhere you want to go
I’m just a desperado, always been alone
You’re the only one who brings me home
I’m just a desperado, down by Mexico
I’ve been everywhere you want to go
I’m just a desperado, always been alone
You’re the only one who brings me home
You’re the only one, you’re the only one
You’re the only one who brings me home
Tell me baby, what I gotta do

I'm Calling You
03:03
|

Three o’clock in the morning and I’m all alone
Picked a number on the receiver of my telephone
It’s been ringing over and over, it’s been ringing since two
Three o’clock in the morning, and I’m calling you
To take me away from the places that I go in my routine
Four o’clock in the morning and I’m calling you
Five o’clock in the morning, there’s nothing to do
Clouds are turning brighter colors with a golden hue
Too late for drinking, too soon for coffee, I’ve been up for a few
Five o’clock in the morning and I’m calling you
To take me away from the places that I go in my routine
Six o’clock in the morning and I’m calling you
To take me away from the places that I go in my routine
Six o’clock in the morning and I’m calling you

I got a time machine, bought it off T.V.
Was a commercial break on Jeopardy
Everything's a gamble, nothing is free
The answer is a question, don’t ask me
Computer in your pocket, nobody has to know
Two fingers in the socket, breaker's gonna blow
Trouble on the line, fodder in the feed
What you want, not what you need
Please don't call me crazy
Please don't call me crazy
Please don't call me crazy
God is a hero from the silver screen
Slicked back hair doesn't mean a thing
Taking it easy takes a heavy toll
She wants it hot, it's gettin’ cold
Please don't call me crazy
Please don't call me crazy
Please don't call me crazy
Please don't call me crazy

Got a Lotta Love
03:02
|

|
If you don’t want me, you can’t have me
I’m not the kind of guy who likes to hang around
If you can’t trust me, walk right past me
That doesn’t mean that I wouldn’t settle down
‘Cause I got a lotta love, got a lotta love, got a lotta love to give
Got a lotta love, got a lotta love, got a lotta love to give
Do you remember when we first met?
Can we make it feel the way it did back then?
It was real love, I didn’t dream it
All I know is that I want it back again
‘Cause I got a lotta love, got a lotta love, got a lotta love to give
Got a lotta love, got a lotta love, got a lotta love to give
‘Cause I got a lotta love, got a lotta love, got a lotta love to give
Got a lotta love, got a lotta love, got a lotta love to give

Easy Way

Love is such an easy way
Loneliness was yesterday
Searching for so long
Nobody was wrong
Love is such an easy way
Love is here to stay
Love won’t go away
What else can I say
Love is here to stay
Love won’t go away
What else can I say
What else can I say
Love’s an easy way
What else can I say
Love’s an easy way
What else can I say

Downtown
03:14
|

|
I see people on the street and I wonder
If they know what’s under their feet or hear the thunder
The rich are getting way too high
Even try to scrape the sky
Why, oh why can’t you and I?
I’m gonna bring you down
I’m gonna bring you downtown
I’m gonna bring you down
I’m gonna bring you downtown
Try getting by on minimum wage, I dare you
American slaves in the modern age, it should scare you
Trouble’s knocking on the door
You’re used to it if you are poor
Tables have been turned before
I’m gonna bring you down
I’m gonna bring you downtown
I’m gonna bring you down
I’m gonna bring you downtown
I need to look into your eyes just to feel you
No need to dress up to the nines, I want the real you
Guess you’ve never had to do
Anything you don’t want to
It must be nice to live like you
I’m gonna bring you down
I’m gonna bring you downtown
I’m gonna bring you down
I’m gonna bring you downtown
I’m gonna bring you downtown
I’m gonna bring you downtown
I’m gonna bring you downtown

Boomerang
04:54

You’re a boomerang, you’ll come back again
Singing songs, getting old
Not doing what you’re told
Did an imitation, made a transformation
Getting by from nine to five without a job has limitations
If this is just a dream, then I can’t get hurt
Jump across the fire, then I can’t get burnt
Give me back my life, what is it anyway?
Staring at the stars is my getaway, is that the Milky Way?
You’re a boomerang, you’ll come back again
With another name, nothing is the same
If this is just a dream, then I can’t get hurt
Jump across the fire, then I can’t get burnt
Give me back my life, what is it anyway?
Staring at the stars is my getaway, is that the Milky Way?
You’re a boomerang, you’ll come back again
With another name, nothing is the same
You’re a boomerang, you’ll come back again
With another name, nothing is the same
You’re a boomerang, you’ll come back again

See it Through

Wait ‘til it’s over, wait ‘til the end
Stay with me lover, stay with me friend
Listen to the music, let me know you care
Walking after midnight echoes in the air
I know that you really want to hang around
I know that you really want to hang around
I know that you really want to see it through
I know that you really want to see it through
I know that you really want to hang around
I know that you really want to hang around
I know that you really want to see it through
I know that you really want to see it through
I know that you really want to see it through
I know that you really want to see it through
I know that you really want to see it through
I know that you really want to see it through

I Am the Road
02:47

Anywhere you go there's something you don’t know
Maybe a new word for a thing you’ve seen before
You gotta talk to Pete, there’s lot of people to meet
Try and count to ten and It’ll happen again
I am the road, I'll take you anywhere
If you have time, I'll show you that I care
It's not a crime to have a laugh and little wine
Too much sometimes, you gotta walk the line
Through a foot of snow and a midnight car tow
A ticket in the freezing rain, it's a new low again
I am the road, I'll take you anywhere
If you have time, I'll show you that I care
All the other guys could never realize
The miles you’re gonna see when you look back at me
What makes a man, what it means to hold your hand
In the middle of a desert rain everything’s gonna bloom again
I am the road, I'll take you anywhere
If you have time, I'll show you that I care
I am the road, I'll take you anywhere
If you have time, I'll show you that I care

Blue as the Ocean

Blue as the ocean, blue as the sea
That’s my emotion ‘til you come back to me
Cry me a river, set my soul free
I’ll never find my peace of mind, that’s how it has to be
Blue as the ocean, blue as the sea
I’ll never find my peace of mind, that’s how it has to be
Blue as the ocean, blue as the sea

J.T.
by Steve Earle & The Dukes
supported by 8 fans who also own “Easy Way”
The best I've heard from Steve Earle in a while. The songs have a subtler, earthier tone, tastefully rendered in authentic sounding country/blues/bluegrass stylings. 'J.T' reminds of earlier records like 'Feel Alright' or 'Train a Comin'. Deep grief, love and compassion is felt on the final track, the only composition from Steve, seemingly written for his son. The rest, composed by JT, do confirm what a great songwriter he really was.
