Forsaken Town
Klaus Patzak
|
I'm travelling with my baby The motel sign reads vacancy A neon promise of Peace and tranquility When the sun goes down On this town There's screaming behind the wall Someone must be settling scores She's at his mercy now Caught behind closed doors When the sun goes down On this town They're talking politics It's a peculiar TV show There's a hockey mom I wonder what does she know When the sun goes down On this town |
I'm travelling with my baby She said won't you please rescue me Take me to the wide open spaces And we'll break free When the sun goes down On this town They will not return Won't come home no more They're out fighting now In a distant war When the sun goes down On this town The waitress at the allnite cafe Scarred for life, big tattoos Tired of wheeping, tired of hoping Weary from the blues When the sun goes down On this town |
Western Movies
Klaus Patzak
|
It's four in the morning Been watching movies all night Fascinated with my heroes How they love, struggle and fight Villains and outlaws Fine ladies and gentlemen Walking tall, talking proud Fearless they die in the end chorus: Old western movies Gary Cooper and Errol Flynn Old western movies Virtuous heroes in a world of sin Old western movies Hollywood dream machine Old western movies Black and white, nothing in between Wanted for justice A gunslinger, the talk of the town He lives to be famous To be the fastest gun around Guilt or innocence Is a matter of what you look at Be with him or against him It's just as simple as that repeat chorus At the great shoot out One man stands against the mob One by one he guns them down Concluding his job Reassured I roll over over And find some sleep for the rest of the night I close my eyes and saddle my horse Into the sunset I ride repeat chorus |
Lay Your Guns Down
Klaus Patzak
|
Sun is setting on our love Strong wind blowing from the west Chasing clouds across the sky Putting our love to the test Sadness comes easy when Our two worlds collide I am weary of the strife A falling feeling deep inside Lay your guns down We're caught up in friendly fire Together we were born to fly Higher and higher We never went beyond The point of no return We never put our love on the line We still let the fire burn It's a big old crazy world The things we do, the things we say Carelessly we deny our hearts Let our love go astray Lay your guns down We're caught up in friendly fire Together we were born to fly Higher and higher |
The Place That I Call Home
Klaus Patzak
|
A tiny spot on an old faded map A lonely little town, so quiet and so still No secrets left, just a bunch of memories Space to grow and time to kill chorus: Just another small town down the road A godforsaken place, not much going on Some call it peaceful and some deadly dull For me it's the place that I call home I've lived here for almost all my life This is where I find my groove Just being me, not someone else Ain't got anything to prove repeat chorus I keep hearing that distant voice Dragging me away Same sweet melody Each and every day repeat chorus |
Darling You Killed Me
Klaus Patzak
|
You know and I know We both know the facts We got this one of a kind love There ain't nothing like that chorus: Darling you killed me for the rest of my life The damage is done, it cuts like a knife Feels like in heaven and feels like in hell Hello true love, goodbye and farewell Year in and year out It's been a roller coaster ride Constant happiness and One endless fight repeat chorusl You know and I know How things can go wrong But we got that recipe though We've been cooking so long repeat chorus |
The Long Way Home
Klaus Patzak
|
Cigarette smoke's burning in my tired eyes The truth is plain to see Tonight the bottle cleared my mind There is something killing me Selling out, going out whoring Pretending this and faking that What is real is forgotten What you see ain't what you get chorus: If only for a moment you would let me Check my heartaches at your door Lay my head and rest easy Like so many times before Wandering around, always on the go Taking the long way home Can't get no satisfaction Restlessly I roam I can't let go, I can't get over My own imperfections I'm stuck in a dead end Looking for directions repeat chorus |
Daydreaming
Klaus Patzak
|
Daydreams of me and you Daydreams will they come true Or leave us with nothing but Memories If our love was out there still All the magic that could fill The emptyness Deep inside chorus: Daydreams are haunting me In my world of fantasy Daydreams come a flowin' Daydreams keep me going Only for a little while I fancy I could see your smile Your loving eyes and your pretty face The melody of a long lost song Secretly lingering on Faded feelings Unveiled repeat chorus |
El Dorado
Whitey Ray Huitt
|
There's a story told in Mexico A legend made of gold It's El Dorado, city of gold More gold than you can dream of A treasure world untold It's El Dorado, city of gold chorus: El Dorado is a lifetime they'll tell you You can go there but you can't come home El Dorado is a lifetime of searching and a hopin for the gold of El Dorado, for the gold of El Dorado When first I heard the stories of the treasures to behold In El Dorado, the city of gold I caught that yellow fever that eats into your soul the devil's misery, the love of gold repeat chorus My search lead to Laredo There was a man there I was told And he'd seen it, El Dorado His name is Juan Carlos and he knows the way to go To El Dorado, the city of gold repeat chorus But this man they named Juan Carlos he was wrinkled dry and old But in his eyes I've seen the gold I'll take you to the gold he whispered like the wind But you can never come home again You ain't never gonna see you home again repeat chorus But this man they named Juan Carlos he came back to town today With a strange look on his face I heard him sigh I asked him why he had tears upon his face He said I finally found me a man to take my place down in hell I finally found me a man to take my place And he was laughing when he left that place repeat chorus And another man's found his El Dorado Another man sold his soul for gold Me and the boys I guess that we'll turn 'round and head home tonight Leave the gold and El Dorado alone Leave that El Dorado gold alone |
Lost In The Sands Of Time
Klaus Patzak
|
What have I done I stand ashamed I know I'll never Be the same Betrayed my beliefs Succumbed to temptation Against my better judgement There's no salvation Here I stand With empty hands Lost in the sands Of time What have I become Leaves turn to gold Where do I belong It's getting cold Be on my side Chant your bittersweet lament Be on my side On the losing end Here I stand With empty hands Lost in the sands Of time |
Constant Stuggle
Klaus Patzak
|
I've been called a lot of things A sinner and a saint The truth is different though There ain't much that I ain't chorus: It's a constant struggle To keep on the straight and narrow Staying away from trouble Ain't no easy row to hoe I once was on a winning streak Did not last too long I've been high and I've been low I've been right and I I've been wrong repeat chorus When the time has come for looking back To be self-reflective There is one thing that I learned It's all a matter of perspective repeat chorus I carry on and don't care no more What others have to say Just keep my eyes on the road Trying to keep it my way repeat chorus |
Big City Blues
Klaus Patzak
|
There is too much to remind me Of what might have been Ever since you left me I've been walking in the rain Seems like ther ain't no Love in this town I spent my whole life on searching And this is what I found chorus: Big city blues on my mind Big city blues on my mind Big city blues on my mind Big city blues on my mind Any place's the right place With the right one by your side But I walk these streets alone now Like a stranger in the night Every little corner Knows a story to tell This place used to be heaven Now this place is hell repeat chorus I'd better take the next train To get me out of town To where my lucky stars are shining To the country where I'm from Seems like ther ain't no Love in this town I spent my whole life on searching And this is what I found repeat chorus |
Redemption Train
Klaus Patzak
|
I'm just a passenger Riding this old train Bought me a one way ticket To get out of the rain All my life I've been searching For something more to find The search is over The burdens left behind No more pain, no more sorrow Suffering from this need I'm satisfied at last Feeling complete I'm rolling with the rhythm Of the clickety clack I'm gone forever Not coming back The drums remain silent The beat goes on I saw the light I can't go wrong Somewhere over the rainbow There's a place I'm told A land of blue skies A sight to behold Cry not for me I know I'll be fine I'm gonna soothe my soul My troubled mind I bought a ticket To get out of the rain I'm on a journey On this redemption train |
