The Gallows Birds
by Alaska Gold Rush
Sunday morning when the sun was shine
Don't know if I'm dead or alive
Outlaw hidden behind the tracks
Bad luck my best friend's on my back
Yesterday is a far-away lie
Lost my darling, baby down the line
Bad luck hidden behind the tracks
Outlaw my best friend's on my back
Down the river there's nothing left to lose
Ain't seen nothing darker than a road with no shoes
This town ain't no good for me
Nights dragging forever and more
Roaming around nothing for
New trouble, old battles won
When I kissed her she said well done
This place echoes the day we met
Ain't no love to pay my debt
New trouble, old battles won
When I kissed her she said well done
Down the river there's nothing left to lose
Ain't seen nothing darker than a road with no shoes
This town ain't no good for me
This town ain't no good for me
Got somewhere else to see
This town ain't no good for me
Got some other places, some other nights to see

Shake In Those Streets
by Alaska Gold Rush
Hey man
I'm stuck with balls and chains to the city
My feet and soul shake in those streets
Where us was born
Hey man
No one told me it would hurt that way
She takes the place I had yesterday
What more can I say
Come back and sit here
You're not the only one who can disappear
Hey man
I'm stuck with balls and chains to the city
The wind blows and shakes in those streets
Where us was born

Clarksdale
by Alaska Gold Rush
Clarksdale in the morning
My days are few
The Riverside in the evening
My friends are few
Holly Ridge in the morning
High water everywhere
Friars Point in the evening
Water rose most everywhere
The man in the juke-joint answers with a gun
Me and my get-away car are back on the run
Clarksdale in the morning
Blues all around my bed
The Riverside in the evening
Them blues is all I get
The man in the juke-joint answers with a gun
Me and my get-away car are back on the run

Silhouettes
by Alaska Gold Rush
Back to the memories of old towns and visions
Did the Pecos Valley take me away
From the misted rivershores of my mind
Hangin' on and on with nowhere to go
Deserted pastures of my heart
Painted forests on the other side
Lookin' down low
Among those silhouettes
Can't find no place no more
Among those silhouettes
Can't even say where you're at
Back to the memories of ghost towns and visions
Was it Santa Fe that blew me away
From the lonesome corners of my head
New Mexico silent borders ahead
They're moving westward too
The red sandy sun burning inside out
Flees the morning by the county line
Somewhere to start anew
Among those silhouettes
Can't find no place no more
Among those silhouettes
Can't even say where you're at

Downtown Movies
by Alaska Gold Rush
Time binds me, me to you
Like the stained sidewalks to the boulevards
If I turn my back on you in the streets
It's because my soul ain't made of steel
Walkers-by cheaply burn
Sketches of you in the morning sun
Brussels got no songs, Brussels ain't my home
Glenrio's floating in my head wherever I roam
If I turn my back on you in the streets
It's because my soul ain't made of steel
Bright light windshield flash
City sunrise roll down lane
Mellow pianos like cyanide bombs
Conquer downtown movies
Walkers-by cheaply burn
Sketches of you in the morning sun

From The Bixby Bridge Again
by Alaska Gold Rush
I've lost the keys of the ballroom
The party's over, the hotel, its gloom
Let me stay here for a night
I've asked your mother, she said I might
The road has been stretching away for ever
Been listening to Merle Travis with a drunken truck driver
Been cursing tender love and other scenarios
Body shot full of holes
A car's not a friend
Like the story goes
A car's not a way
A car's not a home
Lost my heart in downtown Frisco
The drummer boy is the only guy I know
The avenues color all over the floor
Beggars get beaten and ask for more
The wind will never cease fighting the bridge
Like my head will never cease fighting the wind
Let me stay here for a night
I've asked your mother, she said I might
A car's not a friend
Like the story goes
A car's not way
A car's not a home
