The End Of The Line

Raul Malo

© Tree Pub, BMI

You walk on higher ground
Like the holy ghost I haven't found
The mighty words you speak
They bounce off the strong but are heard by the weak

Their pennies just keep on coming in
Their spirits are still soaking in their sins
Some say they're even born again

See what you can find at the end of the line
There's no end in time at the end of the line
There's no peace of mind at the end of the line

The time has finally come to relinquish the throne
That doesn't belong for only you can tell
If the pardon will come or will you burn in hell

You tried to recover dirty Stones
From love filthy games played on the road
Now it is you who stands alone

See what you can find at the end of the line...

See what you can find at the end of the line
There's no end in time at the end of the line
There's no peace of mind at the end of the line
You can run but you can't hide

Their pennies just keep on coming in
The spirits still soaking in his sins
Some say they're even born again

See what you can find at the end of the line...

This Broken Heart

Raul Malo

© Tree Pub, BMI

This broken heart will never love again
Because I don't want it to
You came along and showed me
I was wrong to think that I could never love you

Every time I run away
I know you'll always stay

This broken heart will wear the pain she bore
With you my heart won't break anymore

Every time I run away
I know you'll always stay

This broken heart will wear the pain she bore
With you my heart won't break anymore
No, with you my heart won't break anymore

Mr. Jones

Raul Malo

© Tree Pub, BMI

I wanna go across the river to the house on old way road
Where my life began and ended all the same
I remember Chris and Johnny childhood friends of mine
Who grew wise enough to learn to play the game

As I walked up to the front yard
There were children playing there
And I thought someday this may be my home again
But how soon I learned my lesson
Through the windows they threw stones
And said there's nothing left inside Mr Jones

I went next door to ask the neighbor
If they knew what happened here
To the place where all my memories remain
As they recalled and tried to answer
Tears rolled down their eyes
But the best reply they had was made in vain

Seems the folks that used to live there
Worked hard for all their means
But their means could never take them to an end
There was hope down in the city
Then a bank declined their loan
Now there's nothing left inside Mr Jones

Can't you see that it's empty now
And no one really cares
For even I must try to save my own
You should turn around and get back on that
Lonely old way road cause there's nothing left inside Mr Jones

Can't you see that it's empty now...

I'm going back across the river to see if I can find
The place where life can start and end all the same
But no matter where I'm going it will dwell inside my bones
That there's nothing left inside Mr Jones
No there's nothing left inside Mr Jones

A Better Way

Raul Malo

© Tree Pub, BMI

We spent the night in a hobo town like a pair of runaways
We lit a fire and sang the songs we learned from yesterday
Settled down and built a house with our own sweatin' hands
What happened next I'll never know or never understand

Finished with my working day and headed straight for home
I looked inside the bedroom door and you were not alone

Well I hope you find a better way to get through my front door
The roads you take don't let you see I don't love you anymore
And if you find a broken heart somewhere along the way
Don't you dare pick it up I'll mend itself someday

You thought my life was over now well honey you thought wrong
I found myself someone to love who'll love me all night long
All the things you left behind I threw them all away
You never cared enough about the things I had to say

Well I hope you find a better way to get through my front door
The roads you take don't let you see I don't love you anymore
And if you find a broken heart somewhere along the way
Don't you dare pick it up I'll mend itself someday

Well I hope you find a better way to get through my front door...

Another Lonely Life (Raul's Song)

Raul Malo

© Tree Pub, BMI

In the years that knew her I thought I told her so many times
Just how much I have loved her I couldn't even say goodbye
She sleeps in her own darkened bedroom tryin' to wake her up on Sunday night
An empty stare and a handshake then she closed her eyes to die
I wish I had talked to her I wish I had walked with her
Oh Lord how I'm missing her all I have to do is cry
[ instrumental ]
Now I found myself trying to relive all the days gone by
I've done wrong now I'm paying for another lonely life
I wish I had talked to her
[ instrumental ]
I wish I had talked to her

Why couldn't I ever show her all the things that she longed to see
It's too late now it's all over there's nothin' left for me to be
