Maybe it’s time to let the old ways dieMaybe it’s time to let the old ways dieIt takes a lot to change a manHell, it takes a lot to tryMaybe it’s time to let the old ways die
Nobody knows what waits for the deadNobody knows what waits for the deadSome folks just believe in the things they’ve heardAnd the things they readNobody knows what awaits for the dead
I’m glad I can’t go back to where I came fromI’m glad those days are gone, gone for goodBut if I could take spirits from my past and bring‘ ‚em hereYou know I would, you know I would
Nobody speaks to God these daysNobody speaks to God these daysI’d like to think he’s looking down and laughing at our waysNobody speaks to God these days
When I was a child they tried to fool meSaid the worldly man was lost and that hell was realWell, I’ve seen hell in RenoAnd this world’s one big ol‘ Catherine wheelSpinnin‘ still
Maybe it’s time to let the old ways dieMaybe it’s time to let the old ways dieIt takes a lot to change your plansAnd a train to change your mindMaybe it’s time to let the old ways dieOh, maybe it’s time to let the old ways die

You’ve painted up your lips and rolled and curled your tinted hairRuby, are you contemplating going out somewhere?The shadow on the wall tells me the sun is going down
Oh, RubyDon’t take your love to town
 
It wasn’t me that started that old crazy Asian warBut I was proud to go and do my patriotic choreAnd yes, it’s true that I’m not the man I used to be
Oh, RubyI still need some company
 
It’s hard to love a man whose legs are bent and paralyzedAnd the wants and the needs of a woman of your age, Ruby, I realizeBut it won’t be long I’ve heard them say until I’m not around
Oh, RubyDon’t take your love to town
 
She’s leaving now ‚cause I just heard the slamming of the doorThe way I know I’ve heard it slam one hundred times beforeAnd if I could move I’d get my gun and put her in the ground
Oh, RubyDon’t take your love to town
Oh, RubyFor God’s sakes turn around

A company always on the runA destiny, oh it’s the rising sunI was born, a shotgun in my handsBehind the gunI’ll make my final stand, yeah
That’s why they call me
Bad companyI can’t denyBad, bad company‚Til the day I dieUntil the day I die
Until the day I die
 
Rebel soulsDeserters we’ve been calledChose a gunAnd threw away the song
Now these townsWell they all know our nameThe whisky soundIs our claim of fame
And that’s why they call me
Bad companyI can’t denyBad, bad company‚Til the day I die
Until the day I dieUntil the day I dieUntil the day I die
 
„Eye for an eye“„Tooth for a tooth“„Blood for blood“We’ve all gotta dieWe’ve all gotta die
And that’s why they call meBad companyI won’t denyBad, bad company‚Til the day I die
Bad companyI won’t denyBad, bad company‚Til the day I die
Until the day I dieUntil the day I dieUntil the day I dieUntil the day I die

You know I like my chicken friedA cold beer on a Friday nightA pair of jeans that fit just rightAnd the radio up
 
Well, I was raised up beneath the shade of a Georgia PineAnd that’s home you knowSweet tea, pecan pie, and homemade wine where the peaches growAnd my house, it’s not much to talk aboutBut it’s filled with love that’s grown in southern ground
 
And a little bit of chicken friedA cold beer on a Friday nightA pair of jeans that fit just rightAnd the radio upWell I’ve done seen the sun riseSee the love in my woman’s eyesFeel the touch of a precious childAnd know a mother’s love
 
It’s funny how it’s the little things in life that mean the mostNot where you live, what you drive, or the price tag on your clothesThere’s no dollar sign on a peace of mindThis I’ve come to knowSo if you agree, have a drink with meRaise your glasses for a toast
 
To a little bit of chicken friedA cold beer on a Friday nightA pair of jeans that fit just rightAnd the radio upWell I’ve done seen the sun riseSee the love in my woman’s eyesFeel the touch of a precious childAnd know a mother’s love
 
I thank God for my lifeAnd for the stars and stripesMay freedom forever fly, let it ringSalute the ones who diedThe ones that give their livesSo we don’t have to sacrificeAll the things we love
 
Like our chicken friedAnd cold beer on a Friday nightA pair of jeans that fit just rightAnd the radio upWell I’ve done seen the sun riseSee the love in my woman’s eyesFeel the touch of a precious childAnd know a mother’s loveGet your little chicken friedAnd cold beer on a Friday nightA pair of jeans that fit just rightAnd the radio upWell I’ve done seen the sun riseSee the love in my woman’s eyesFeel the touch of a precious childAnd know a mother’s love

Well, the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You don′t look at their faces
And you don’t ask their names

You don′t think of them as human
You don’t think of them at all
You keep your mind on the money
Keeping your eyes on the wall

I’m your private dancer, a dancer for money
I′ll do what you want me to do
I′m your private dancer, a dancer for money
And any old music will do

I wanna make a million dollars
I want to live out by the sea
Have a husband and some children
Yeah, I guess I want a family

All the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You don’t look at their faces
And you don′t ask their names

I’m your private dancer, a dancer for money
I′ll do what you want me to do
I’m your private dancer, a dancer for money
And any old music will do

I′m your private dancer, a dancer for money
I’ll do what you want me to do
Just a private dancer, a dancer for money
And any old music will do

Deutsche Marks or dollars
American Express will do nicely, thank you
Let me loosen up your collar
Tell me, do you want to see me do the shimmy again?
Uh!

I’m your private dancer, a dancer for money
I′ll do what you want me to do
Just a private dancer, a dancer for money
And any old music will do

Oh

Do what you want me to do

Hey little girl is your daddy home
Did he go away and leave you all alone
I got a bad desire
I’m on fire

Tell me now baby is he good to you
Can he do to you the things that I do
I can take you higher
I’m on fire

Sometimes it’s like someone took a knife baby
edgy and dull and cut a six-inch valley
through the middle of my soul

At night I wake up with the sheets soaking wet
and a freight train running through the
middle of my head
Only you can cool my desire
I’m on fire

Writer: Bruce Springsteen

A million times I tried to understand
who was wrong and who was right
I answered all the questions in the end
but they keep coming back at night
my head keeps spinning there’s no peace of mind
so many voices in my brain
I keep on searching but I cannot find
and all my doubts remain
Oho, I’m so lonesome I could die
Oho, I got no more tears to cry
Oho, I’m the last man standing
fighting every day to stay alive
fighting everday to just survive

watch me now in my own misery
fighting battles that are lost
dark is the sky hanging over me
so many roads that we have crossed
now there is darkness where we used to be
and this darkness is surrounding me
I can’t put up with my own tragedy
though I was right, I lost it all
a righteous man in bleeding victory
and though it hurts I’m standing tall
the dust of memories, where we used to live
there’s nothing left in what I can believe

Letzter Mensch
Eine Million Mal habe ich versucht zu verstehen,
wer Unrecht hatte und wer Recht hatte
Am Ende habe ich alle Fragen beantwortet,
aber sie kommen nachts immer wieder zurück
Mein Kopf dreht sich ständig Es gibt keinen Seelenfrieden
so viele Stimmen in meinem Gehirn
Ich suche weiter, aber ich kann nichts finden
und alle meine Zweifel bleiben bestehen
Oho, ich bin so einsam, dass ich sterben könnte.
Oho, ich habe keine Tränen mehr zum Weinen.
Oho, ich bin der letzte Mensch,
der jeden Tag darum kämpft,
am Leben zu bleiben
und jeden Tag nur ums Überleben kämpft

Beobachten
Sie mich jetzt in meinem eigenen Elend,
wie ich verlorene Schlachten kämpfe
Dunkel ist der Himmel über mir
so viele Straßen, die wir überquert haben
jetzt herrscht Dunkelheit wo wir früher waren
und diese Dunkelheit umgibt mich
Ich kann meine eigene Tragödie nicht ertragen,
obwohl ich Recht hatte, ich habe alles verloren
ein rechtschaffener Mann im blutenden Sieg,
und obwohl es weh tut, stehe ich standhaft da
der Staub der Erinnerungen, wo wir früher gelebt haben
Von dem, was ich glauben kann, ist nichts mehr übrig

I’m ridin‘ in your carYou turn on the radioYou’re pullin‘ me closeI just say noI say I don’t like itBut you know I’m a liar‚Cause when we kiss, oohFire
Late at nightYou’re takin‘ me homeYou say you want to stayI say I want to be aloneI say I don’t love youBut you know I’m a liar‚Cause when we kiss, oohFire
You had a hold on me right from the startA grip so tight I couldn’t tear it apartMy nerves all jumpin‘, actin‘ like a foolWell, your kisses they burn, but my heart stays cool
Well, Romeo and JulietSamson and DelilahBaby you can betA love they couldn’t denyMy words say splitBut my words they lie‚Cause when we kiss, oohFire
Ooh fireHot kisses like fireBurn me up with fireI like what you’re doin‘ nowFireTouchin‘ me with fireTouchin‘ me, burnin‘ me with fireTake me homeFireKisses like fire

Back upon an old dirt roadNext to a swamp full of toadsWas a slanted wood shackWith three little kids and a mama
Papa died in ’63Left little Jenny and meTo plant those tatersAnd pull up another tomorrow
 
Rocky Mountain musicFills my memoryRocky mountain musicPapa, can I hear you playing for me?
 
Little brother was never quite rightHe used to sit on the floor in the sunlightPlay with the dust that dancedOn the beams in the window
And sister had to cook and clean‚Cause mama, she got sick and leanSometimes I think she just died awayMissing papa
 
Rocky mountain musicFills my memoryRocky mountain musicMama, can I hear you singing to me?
 
Well, everything has changed todayAnd little brother, he was taken awayAnd sister, she married a soldierAnd lives in Toledo
And me, I’m in a Nashville barAnd I’ve never been so farFrom that old gravel roadAnd the rivers that run through my memory
 
Rocky mountain musicFills my memoryRocky mountain musicBrother, can I hear you calling me?
Rocky mountain musicFills my memoryRocky mountain musicPapa, can I hear you playing for me?

It′s all the same
Only the names will change
Everyday
It seems we’re wasting away
Another place
Where the faces are so cold
I drive all night just to get back home

I′m a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
I’m wanted
Dead or alive
Wanted
Dead or alive

Sometimes I sleep
Sometimes it’s not for days
The people I meet
Always go their seperate ways
Sometimes you tell the day
By the bottle that you drink
And times when you′re alone
All you do is think

I′m a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
I’m wanted (wanted)
Dead or alive
Wanted (wanted)
Dead or alive

Oh, I ride

I′m a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
I’m wanted (wanted)
Dead or alive

I walk these streets
A loaded six-string on my back
I play for keeps
′Cause I might not make it back
I been everywhere, oh yeah
Still I’m standing tall
I′ve seen a million faces
And I’ve rocked them all

 

‚Cause I′m a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
I′m wanted (wanted)
Dead or alive
But I’m a cowboy
I got the night on my side
And I′m wanted (wanted) dead or alive

And I ride (and I ride), dead or alive
I still drive (still drive), dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive
Dead or alive

I ain’t a bad guy or a loserBut lately it’s feelin‘ that wayLast night I passed out with my boots onOh it’s a cold lonely bed that I’ve made
Cause I ain’t always in love when I make loveSometimes I don’t feel a thingI ain’t often hurtin‘, when I medicateAnd I ain’t always thirsty, when I drink
It ain’t like I woke up this morningHopin‘ I’d be drunk by noonAnd pourin‘ my heart out to a strangerAbout the reasons I ain’t still with you
‚Bout how I ain’t always in love when I make lovesometimes I don’t feel a thingand I ain’t often hurtin‘ when I medicateand I ain’t always thirsty, when I drinkI ain’t always thirsty, when I drink…

Maybe in another lifeI could find you therePulled away before your timeI can’t deal, it’s so unfair

And it feelsAnd it feels likeHeaven’s so far awayAnd it feelsYeah, it feels likeThe world has grown coldNow that you’ve gone away

Leaving flowers on your graveShow that I still careBlack roses and Hail MarysI can’t bring back what’s taken from me

I reach to the skyAnd call out your nameOh, please let me tradeI would

And it feelsAnd it feels likeHeaven’s so far awayAnd it stingsYeah, it stings nowThe world is so coldNow that you’ve gone away

Gone awayGone awayYeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahOh, yeah oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I reach to the skyAnd call out your nameOh, please let me tradeI would

And it feels, yeah it feels likeHeaven’s so far away
And it feels, yeah it feels likeHeaven’s so far awayAnd it stings, yeah, it stings nowThe world is so cold, now that you’ve gone away

Gone awayGone awayYeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahOh, yeah oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohYeah oh, yeah oh oh, oh oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And it feels, and it feels likeThe world is so cold, now that you’ve gone away
