Girl In The War - (4:22) - 20,979 playsLyricsPeter said to Paul you know all those words we wrote
Are just the rules of the game and the rules are the first to go... But now talking to God is Laurel, begging Hardy for a gun
I got a girl in the war man, I wonder what it is we done
Paul said to Peter "you got to rock yourself a little harder"
Pretend the dove from above is a dragon, and your feet are on fire But I got a girl in the war Paul the only thing I know to do

Good Man - (4:09) - 18,593 playsLyricsThese chords are old but we shake hands Cause I believe that they?re the good guys We can use all the help we can So many minor chords outside I fell in love with your sound Oh I love to sing along with you We got tunes we kicked around We got a bucket that the tunes go through
Babe we both had dry spells Hard times in bad lands I?m a good man for ya I?m a good man
Last night there was a horse in the road I was twisting in the hairpin My hands held on my mind let go And back to you my heart went skipping I found the inside of the road Thought about the first time that I met you All those glances that we stole Sometimes if you want them then you?ve got to
Babe we both had dry spells Hard times in bad lands I?m a good man for ya I?m a good man
They shot a Western south of here They had him cornered in a canyon And even his horse had disappeared They said it got run down by a bad bad man You?re not a good shot but I?m worse And there?s so much where we ain?t been yet So swing up on this little horse The only thing we?ll hit is sunset
