And a good man is so hard to find She ain't got no time now for Casanovas, yeah, those days are gone She don't want that anymore, she's made up her mind Just somebody to hold her As the night gets on When a good man is so hard to find Well she shuts off the TV and without a word And into bed she climbs Well she thinks how it was all so wasted And how expendable their dreams all were When a good man was so hard to find

Well it's cloudy out in Pittsburgh

Instrumental verse

We drove down into Memphis, the sky was hard and black Up over the ridge came a white Cadillac They'd drawn out all his money and they laid him in the back A woman cried from the roadside "Ah he's gone, he's gone" They found him slumped up against the drain With a whole lot of trouble running through his veins Bye-bye Johnny, Johnny bye-bye You didn't have to die, you didn't have to die

He got out down on main street and went into a local bar

D

He bought a drink and he found a seat in a corner in the dark Well, she called up her momma to get the kids out of the house She checked herself out in the dining room mirror and undid an extra button on her blouse He felt her lying next to him when the clock read 4 AM

Won't you shut out the light On his porch they stretched a banner that said "Johnny, Welcome Home" Poppa pulled his ford out of the garage and they polished up the chrome His momma said "Johnny oh Johnny, I'm so glad to have you back with me" Hi pa said he's sure they'd give him his job back down at the factory Now, momma, momma, momma come quick... Now deep in the dark forest, a forest filled with rain Beyond a strip of Maryland pines there's a river without a name In the cold grey morning Mel Johnson he here stands He stares out at the lights of the city and dreams of where he's been Oh, momma, momma, momma come quick...

"Stand on it, come on boy, stand on it" Mary Beth started to drift, she hit the shift but she just couldn't get a hand on it Racin' some Red Hill boys, she had the deed to the ranch and a grand on it With eight grand blowin' hot on the red line She blew past a hitchhiker out on Route 39 He hollered "Stand on it, go ahead baby, stand on it"

Well now when in doubt and you can't figure it out, just stand on it Well, if your mind's confused, you don't know what you're gonna do

He ran to his ma's trailer but the lights were dim He pounded on the door, she wouldn't let him in Up the road to a neighbor's house he drew near They said, "Billy go away, we don't want no trouble round here" Billy stole a car and headed out on the road Pocketful of pills and his brain on overload Seen some lights in his rear-view mirror, panicked and gave her the gun Wrapped himself round a telephone pole way out on 101 Well Billy got cut out by the highway patrol Just lay there with the cars passing on slow Sheriff told Billy's ma that Billy died She buried his body by the riverside, alright Rockaway the days, rockaway the nights Gimme something to last me, baby, till the morning light I ain't looking for trouble, I ain't looking for a fight Honey, rockaway these days, rockaway these nights Well rich man want the power and the seat on the top Poor man want the money that the rich man got Honey tonight I'm feeling so tired and unsure Come on in Mary, shut the light, close the door Rockaway the days, rockaway the nights Gimme something to last me, baby, till the morning light I ain't looking for trouble, I ain't looking for a fight Honey, rockaway these days, rockaway these nights

Well come into my arms and fall, my lover man Was it a gypsy's curse or a hex sign Or was it just that simple thing that led you from these arms of mine Oh yes, I've had the days To grow used to your foolish ways And what is it really, after all, my lover man

I can see the change in your eyes

There's no need to apologize

We stood at the wishing well

Our dreams like coins into the water fell

The water so cold and black

There was no going back I don't mean to cause you hurt or cause you pain Life is short and love's a dirty game Now there's no need for our game to end Come close and we'll begin To find our beautiful selves again, my loverman My loverman

Once we stood together at the wishing well

Our wishes like dreams, baby, into the water fell

Oh then I kissed your lips but when I looked into your eyes

Baby they were gone, gone over the rise

Tonight the blackbirds fly low on the water's edge

Oh we walked this path not knowing where it led

Now at the bottom of the river deep lies something shiny and gold

Is a promise that love couldn't keep same as a promise broken?

Well I woke last night to the sound of rain

The wind rustling branches against the window pane

I searched the pillow beside me for the tears we cried

Now you say you have a best friend You trust him with your life You trust him with your money You trust him with your kids You'd even trust him with your wife You better watch what's goin' on when the lights are out When the night is dark, when there ain't nobody lookin' around Yeah, when the lights are out down in this dirty little town Well, now the world is dark and funny Better listen up to what I say You ain't gonna know what's going on By what you see in the light of day You gotta watch what's goin' on when the lights are out When the night is dark, when there ain't nobody lookin' around Yeah, when the lights are out down in this dirty little town Now you swear that she trusted you Within reason, I understand But you kept slippin' in late at night And in the mornin' you had that smell on your hands Well, now the world is turning, Rome is burning Me, I'm watching, mmm, and I'm learning They say sure as God's hand and the tickin' of the clock The Lord's light 'll shine under every slimy rock Well, last night I slept the sleep of fear And I heard God's voice whisper in my ear He said, you better watch what's going on when the lights are out When the night is dark, when there ain't nobody lookin' around Yeah, when the lights are out down in this dirty little Down in this dirty little town (Hoo!)

Loose change in my pocket Pint of gin in my boot cuff, I'm drivin' for a drink and a dance Sittin' on the next stool, miss a-little-time-on-her-hands Yeah I knew she was trouble, but trouble sure was lookin' fine And when I pulled her close what I knew kinda slipped my mind We lay in bed and watched the moon come up crawling Loose change in my pocket Loose change in my pocket

D

I pour another drink, wait for the night to get through

D

A

Stars are burning in that black void so far away and blue Now I'm sittin' at a red light I feel somethin' tickin' way down The night's moving like a slow train crawling through this shithole town Got my bags packed in the back and I'm tryin' to get going again But red just goes to green and green goes red and then Then all I hear's the clock on the dash tick-tocking Loose change in my pocket Loose change in my pocket

Lucky Town outtake

Some need gold and some need diamond rings Or a drug to take away the pain that living brings A promise of a better world to come When whatever here is done I don't need that sky of blue, babe All I know's since I found you I'm happy when I'm in your arms Happy, darling, come the dark Happy when I taste your kiss I'm happy in a love like this There's a house upon a distant hill Where you can hear the laughter of children ring Guardian angels, they watch from above Guarding over the love that they bring But at night I feel the darkness near And I awake and I find you near And I'm happy with you in my arms Happy with you in my heart Happy when I taste your kiss I'm happy in a love like this In a world of doubt and fear I wake at night and reach to find you near Lost in a dream, you caught me as I fell I want more than just a dream to tell Born in this world, darling, with few days And trouble never far behind Man and woman circle each other in a cage A cage that's been handed down the line Lost and running 'neath a million dead stars Tonight let's shed our skins and slip these bars Happy in each other's arms Happy, baby, come the dark Happy in each other's kiss I'm happy in a love like this Happy Happy

Human Touch outtake

Well, he'd been hearin' too many voices and feelin' a little off-track Like there was something big pressin' down on his back And so he called up his friends and they said, "Come on out west It's a place where a man can really feel his success" So he pulled his heart and soul down off the shelf And packed them next to the faith that he'd lost in himself Said his goodbyes and when the dirty work was done He turned his wheels into the fading sun For seven days and nights like a black-top bird he sped Maintained radio silence 'cept for in his head And just like his folks did back in '69 He crossed the border at Needles and heard the promised land on the line Now where the Transcontinental dumps into the sea There's a bar made up to look like 1963 Girl in the corner eyed him like a hungry dog a bone As he brushed the desert dust off that Mercedes chrome Bartender said, "Hey, how's it hangin', tiger?" He had a shot of tequila, smiled, and whispered "lighter" He went down to the desert city where the rattlesnakes play And left his dead skin by the roadside in the noon of day Sun got so hot, it almost felt like a friend It could burn out every trace of where you been There was a woman he'd met in a desert song And a little while later a son come along Looked at that boy's smile and called it home And that night, as he lay in bed, the only voice he heard was his own Goin' Cali Goin' Cali Goin' Cali Goin' Cali Goin' Cali
