lyrics

And no, I’m not proud
Of the places that I’ve been
I never knew what I was looking for
But I couldn’t stop looking
I traveled so far and dark for this to realize
There are no pastorals for the quarrels with the
world
But maybe for the ones inside

And no I’m not proud
Of the people I have scorned
The truth? In birth as now in death
It’s cold and forlorn
How far I’d go away from home
So one day I would know
There are no pastorals for the boys or girls
Who try and go it alone

I’ve been wrong more than I’ve been right
My fault I won’t deny
I hope at heaven’s gate they make saints
From sinners who kept on trying

And no I’m not proud
Of the roads that I have gone
I’d run and run from dawn to dawn
I knew not why, where to or from
I say for any man who values distance over time
There are no pastorals no there’s no laurels
No race no finish line

I’ve been wrong more than I’ve been right
My fault I won’t deny
I hope at heaven’s gate they make saints
From sinners who kept on trying

And no I’m not proud
Of all that I did
In a search for destination
Now I’m back where I begin
All my transgressions oh how I remember each
But if I lived again without them
Would I have found this peace

I’ve been wrong more than I’ve been right
My fault, I won’t deny
I hope at heaven’s gate, they make saints
Cause I tried, I tried, I tried

I been so wrong
But I tried
I tried
I tried

This album rocks. It is not as steady as his later records, but still worth listening to very much. We really enjoyed his songs at the Paradiso in Amsterdam yesterday. René van Dijk

The kind of album that accompanies any night out on the town, backyard BBQ, kitchen floor dance session, drunken stooper, next day hangover. Southern party rock and roll. Any fan of Lucero should eat this up! Bucky
