I Want You lyrics - Joe Bonamassa

(originally by Bob Dylan)

Guilty undertaker sighs

Lonesome organ grinder cries

Silver saxophones say I

Should refuse you

And the cracked bells and washed-out horns

Blow into my face with scorn

It's not that way, I wasn't born

To lose you

I want you, I want you

Baby, I want you so bad

I want you

Drunken politician leaps

Upon the streets where mothers weep

And the saviors who are fast asleep

They wait for you

And I wait for them to interrupt

Me drinkin' from my broken cup

And ask me to open up

The gate for you

I want you, baby, I want you

Baby, I want you so bad

I want you

And all the fathers, they've gone down

True love they're without it

And all the daughters put me down

'Cause I don't think about it

I return to the Queen o' Spades

And talk with my chambermaid

And she knows I'm not afraid

To look at 'er

And she is good to me

There's nothin' that she don't see

She knows where I'd like to be

But it doesn't matter

I want you, baby, I want you

Baby, I want you so bad

I want you, I want you

Baby, I want you so bad

I want you

Dancin' child with a Chinese suit

I spoke to him, I took his flute

No, I wasn't very cute

To him, was I?

I did it, though, because he lied

And 'cause he took you for a ride

'Cause time was on his side

And 'cause I

Want you, I want you

Baby, I want you so bad

I want you, baby, I want you

Baby, I want you so bad

I want you, I want you

Baby, I want you so bad

I want you

Mainline Florida lyrics - Joe Bonamassa

(Live At the Sydney Opera House)

My heart was leaping in the sun

My friends all say that you're the one

Let me get this one thing very clear

There ain't enough going on down here

Mainline Florida, oh say

Mainline Florida, OK

Love on the rope and open wide

Her invitation's a changing tide

I could remember long ago

We took a cruise down on Hotel Row

Mainline Florida, oh say

Mainline Florida, OK

Love on the rope and open wide

Her invitation's a changing tide

I could remember long ago

We took a cruise down on Hotel Row

Mainline Florida, oh say

Mainline Florida, OK

To the mainline...

Midnight Blues lyrics - Joe Bonamassa

(originally by Gary Moore)

It's the darkest hour of the darkest night

It's a million miles to the morning light

Can't get no sleep, don't know what to do

Got those midnight blues

When the shadows fall, I feel the night coming in

Must be some reason for this mood I'm getting in

Can't get no sleep, don't know what to do

Got the midnight blues

Every evening after sundown

When the lights begin to fade

Just don't know why I feel so low

Why these blues won't go away

Every evening after sundown

When the lights begin to fade

Just don't know why I feel so low

Why these blues won't go away

It's the darkest hour of the darkest night

It's a million miles to the morning light

Can't get no sleep, don't know what to do

Got the midnight blues

I've got the midnight blues

I've got those midnight blues

I've got the midnight blues

Slow Train (Live At Red Rocks 2017) lyrics - Joe Bonamassa

There's a slow train comin', movin' on down the line

Steel wheels on iron rails, tonight I'm fixin' to die

Hope you don't mind, pretty mama

Hope you don't mind if I go

'Cause when the steam from the slow train rises

I ain't gonna see you anymore

There's a slow train comin', and I'm runnin' out of time

I spend my nights in a bar-room, good time's no friend o' mine

Oh, and I hope you don't mind, pretty mama, oh yeah

Hope you don't mind if I go, na-na, no, no

'Cause when the steam from the slow train rises

You ain't gonna see me no more, aah, no, no, no

Don't you know there's a slow train comin' on, and it's comin' right on time

For forty days and forty damn nights, I tell you, I'm gonna ride that line

I hope you don't mind, pretty mama

Oh, hope you don't mind if I go, 'cause I'm sure I'm gonna go

And I tell you, ah, oh, when the steam from the slow train rises

You ain't, you ain't, you ain't gonna see my face no more

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ah, ah, you...

Well, I tell you there's a slow, slow train a-comin', comin' down to take me home

With my broken heart and my aching bones

You know, I sure can't take it no more, no

I hope you don't mind, pretty mama

Oh, pretty mama, I hope you don't mind if I go

I said, I hope you don't mind if I go

'Cause when the steam from my slow train rises

You know, it's time, time for me to get on board, (on board)

I'm gonna be on board! Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Hope you don't mind, pretty mama, (ooh)

Hope you don't mind if I go (ah)

Well, if the steam from the slow train rises

Oh, it's time for me to get on board

(Ah, get on board, oh, get on board, yeah, oh, get on board, get on board)

That's What Love Will Make You Do lyrics - Marc Broussard & Joe Bonamassa

Oh!

When I hear your name

I start to shake inside, yes I do

When I see you stroll

I lose my self-control

That's what love will do for you

That's what love will make you do

No matter how hard I fight it

Oh, I'm still in love you

Listen!

If you're ever need

No limit to what I'll do

I'll work eight days a week

And give it all to you

That's what love will do for you

That's what love will make you do

Alright

No matter how hard I fight it

Oh, I'm still in love you, yeah!

Alright

Listen now!

When they speak of beauty

You can stand the test, yes ya can

When they talk about making love

Baby, you're the best, yes you are

I don't want to brag about you too much

And give others' ideas

I'm trying hard to express myself

'Cause baby that's the way I feel

That's what love will do for you

That's what love will make you do

Alright

No matter how hard I fight it

Oh, I'm still in love you with you

Love with you!

Come on!

The Rose lyrics - Joe Bonamassa

Some say love is just a river

That drowns the tender reed

Some say love's just a razor

That leaves your soul, soul to bleed

Some say love's just a hunger

An endless aching need

And I say love, it is a flower

And you its only seed

It's the heart afraid of breakin'

That never learns to dance

It's the dream afraid of wakin'

That never takes the chance

It's the one who won't be taken

Who cannot seem to give

Yeah, and the soul afraid of dyin'

That never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely

And the road has been too long

And you think that love is only

For the lucky and the strong

Just remember in the winter

Far beneath the bitter snow

Lies the seed that with the sun's love

In the spring becomes the rose...

(Aah, aah, aah...)

Walk In My Shadows lyrics - Joe Bonamassa

Well my, throat is dry

And my knees are weak

So darned hot

Can't even speak

Walk in my shadows

I can't take it anymore

When I get you in my shadow, baby

I'm gonna give you what's in store

Yes I know baby

That's a shady kind of deal

I just want to find out

How you feel

Walk in my shadow

I ain't gonna take it anymore

When I get you in the shadow

I'm gonna give you what's in store

Yes I know you think I'm stupid

Just wouldn't be cool

I can tell you baby

I ain't no fool

Walk in my shadow

I can't take it anymore

When I get you in my shadow

I'm gonna give you what's in store

When I get you in my shadow

I'm gonna give you what's in store

Yeah, I'm gonna give you what's in store

"Dust Bowl" (2011)

Slow Train Lyrics – Joe Bonamassa

There's a slow train coming
It's movin' on down the line
Steel wheels on iron rails
Tonight I'm fixin' to die
Woo, I hope you don't mind pretty mama
Woo-hoo, hope you don't mind if I go

'Cause when the steam from the slow train rises
I ain't gonna see you anymore

There's a slow train coming
Coming right on time
Smokestacks and bottle lightning
This jumper on the line
Woo, I can't do without it anymore pretty mama
Yes, I can't do it without it anymore

'Cause when the steam from the slow train rises
I ain't gonna see you anymore

There's a slow train coming
To march us home from war
With my leather boots and my haversack
Sure can take it no more
Woo, I cried for her baby when I saw you there
Woo-hoo, I cried for her just the same

'Cause when the steam from the slow train rises
I'm gonna cry for you just the same

Well there's a slow train coming
Carrying the mighty worker hordes
Eighteen days in the cotton field
Enough to put a man out of (?)
Woo, It's time to move on pretty mama
Woo-hoo, Yes it's time to move on as I go

As the steam from my slow train rises
It's time for me to get on board

Dust Bowl Lyrics – Joe Bonamassa

[Intro]

[Verse 1:]
I'm gonna make my own way
I'm gonna head downtown
Walk around, settle down,
Find me a proper drink
Don't need a helmet
To get me through life
I walk across the water
Blame it on foolish pride

[Chorus:]
Lifting me up
Tearing me down
All you give me is indecision
the classic run-around
Bringing me higher
Keeping me whole
Now I feel like I'm living
Living in a Dust Bowl

[Verse 2:]
Diamonds and pearls
You're that kind of girl
You size me up, to break me down
While you're sipping on your crown royal
I'll give you shelter
Babe, it's your call
It's hard to find truth within
When you're living in your own zone

[Chorus:]
Lifting me up
Tearing me down
All you give me is indecision
the classic run-around
Bringing me higher
Keeping me whole
Now I feel like I'm living
Living in a Dust Bowl

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3:]
Pride and deception
The same kind of pain
And all that's left for me to lose
Is meant for you to gain
Playing it close
Stealing your time
But who cares anyway?
I've gone the extra mile

[Chorus:]
Lifting me up
Tearing me down
All you give me is indecision
the classic run-around
Bringing me higher
Keeping me whole
Now I feel like I'm living
Living in a Dust Bowl

[Outro]

Living in a Dust Bowl

Tennessee Plates Lyrics – Joe Bonamassa

I woke up in a hotel, didn't know what to do
I turned the TV on, wrote a letter to you
The news was talkin' 'bout a dead man upon the interstate
Seems they lookin' for a Cadillac with Tennessee plates

Well since I left California baby, things have gotten worse
Seems the land of opportunity for me is just a curse
Tell that judge in Bakersfield, my trial I'll have to wait
They're lookin' for a Cadillac with Tennessee plates

It was somewhere in Nevada, it was cold outside
She was shiverin' in the dark, so I offered her a ride
Three bank jobs later, four cars hotwired
We crossed the Mississippi like an oil slick fire, Yeah!

Yeah If they'd known what we was up to they wouldn't let us in
Now we landed in Memphis like original sin
Elvis Presley Boulevard to the Graceland gates
Oh, see we're lookin' for a Cadillac with Tennessee plates

Man, there must have been a dozen of them parked in that garage
There wasn't one Lincoln and there wasn't one Dodge
Wasn't one Japanese model or make
Just pretty, pretty Cadillacs' with Tennessee plates

She saw him singing once when she was seventeen
And ever since that day she's been living in between
I was never king of nothin' but that wild weekend
Anyway he wouldn't care, hell he gave them to his friends

This ain't no hotel I'm writin' you from
The Tennessee prison up at Brushy Mountain
Where yours sincerely's doin' five to eight
Stampin' out my time makin' Tennessee plates

The Meaning Of The Blues Lyrics – Joe Bonamassa

Do you know what it means to walk alone?
And what it means to be, be by yourself?
Do you know what it means when there's no one to bring you good news?
Then you know, you know the meaning of the blues

Do you know what it means to cry alone?
And what it means to cry by yourself?
Do you know what it means to love a woman you can't own?
If you do, then you know the meaning of the blues

I've been weeping and weeping,
Moaning and moaning,
Crying and sighing all the day
I've been hiding my tears
Feel like dying
Wishing love would come to stay
And do you know what it means when the lord is taken away?
I cry, oh I cry
Oh I cry everyday

Yes I know what it means to walk alone
And how it feels to walk by myself
Yes I know what it means to love a woman you can?t own
Yes I do,
I know the meaning of the blues
Yes I know the meaning of the blues
Woo-hoo

Black Lung Heartache Lyrics – Joe Bonamassa

Well I'm a man of the mountain
I'm just made of dirt
Of this Earth I traveled
Like a shepherd and his herd

[Chorus:]
And I said hang on, hang on
Black lung heartache

I sleep in a modest house
These green hills I mind
And if I plow tend my children
Who will be by the side?

[Chorus:]
And I said hang on, hang on
Black Lung Heartache

I've shed many tears
Seems I can?t shed no more
You can see them on the table
You can see 'em on the floor

[Chorus Variation:]
Now I said hang on, hang on
Black lung heartache

I've seen many men
They become hard as nails
Carrying the hammers like keys to a jail

[Chorus Variation:]
Now I said hang on, hang on
Black lung heartache

Now I said so long, so long
Black lung heartache

You Better Watch Yourself Lyrics – Joe Bonamassa

[Intro]

You better watch yourself
You better watch yourself
You better watch yourself
I've got my eyes on you

Well you steal my heart, and you go away
Don't tell me you'll see me another day
You better watch yourself
You better watch yourself
You better watch yourself
I've got my eyes on you

Well I give you all my love
All my things too
Fine Cadillac baby watcha gonna do?
You better watch yourself
You better watch yourself
You better watch yourself
I've got my eyes on you

[Solo]

Well people are talkin',
All over town
You say you're gonna love me but you put me down
You better watch yourself
You better watch yourself
You better watch yourself
I've got my eyes on you

[Outro]

The Last Matador Of Bayonne Lyrics – Joe Bonamassa

I hold out hope
But it stalls
Soon, the last curtain falls
A hundred years of past has spoken

All the great warriors
Are sown into history's flag
Like a book of the seven seals
Of the hero's past
Through fires, revolutions
Dust storms and conclusions
Will the show go on tonight?
For one more time

I fight on,
Fight on,
I'm the last matador of Bayonne
For tomorrow this place falls
Into silence

There's a path
Traveled by many
Say one more prayer for my family
Like a ship without a sail
Cast adrift

I fight on,
Fight on
I'm the last matador of Bayonne
A hundred years of past
Now are gone

Heartbreaker Lyrics – Joe Bonamassa

Well my maker
Must've been a hard heartbreaker
And I'll tell you why
Said my maker
Must've been a hard heartbreaker (until you)
I'll tell you why

I'm breaking my own heart
Tryin' to love a faker

I tell your soul, hmm
Just like a blind, blind man
My little house is on fire
Hmm
Just like a blind man
My little house is on fire

I'm burning my own eyes out
Tryin' to reach the door

Well the sun is shining (well the sun it was shining)
But it sure don't seem to reach my heart (hmm my heart is cold, it is)
Well the sun is shining (well the sun is shining)
But it sure don't seem to reach my heart (reach my heart)
But I was cold

I'm wasting my whole life
Tryin' to make a new start

To make a new start
Hmm,
Gonna make a new start
Gonna make a new start
Gonna make a new start
Make a new start

No Love On The Street Lyrics – Joe Bonamassa

Baby woke up nervous
She was sweating from the steam heat
She kicked off the covers
Fever burning bright, paranoia night
Five alarm alert repeats
This city never beats you
But it buries you so deep
'Cause there ain't no love,
Ain't no love on the street

Baby's breathing deeply
She's listening to her heart beat
She walks into the kitchen
Dishes in the sink
Doesn't even matter
Maybe read a magazine
And the colored girls go
Whoop-de-doop-de-doop-de-doop-
Doop-de-doop-de-doop
'Cause there ain't no love,
Ain't no love on the street

Baby needs a frame of reference
Some other place to go
An all night launderette
Light a cigarette
Jump an usherette
Babe's an all night diner
She's got a trucker's appetite
'Cause there ain't ain't no love,
Ain't no love on the street

The Whale That Swallowed Jonah Lyrics – Joe Bonamassa

[Intro]

[Verse 1:]
Well the sun is up and rising
The wagon's headed west
Now I can't shake that old suspicion
That I settled for second best
I've been frugal at my table
I've been conscious, I've been blind
Who ever said that 40 acres and a mule
Would ever keep me satisfied?

[Guitar]

[Chorus:]
They say the whale that swallowed Jonah
Now (Out?) in the deep blue
Sometimes I get that feeling
That same ol' whale swallowed me

They say the whale that swallowed Jonah
To put me through the test
Sometimes I get that feeling
That I'm different from the rest

[Verse 2:]
Now the sons of tomorrow
Will come to me in time
Life is going by so fast now, baby
I haven't had a chance to change my mind
I feel it in my fingers,
I can feel it in my bones,
Maybe it's the whale's way of telling me
It's time to get yourself back home

[Guitar]

[Chorus:]
They say the whale that swallowed Jonah
Now in the deep blue
Sometimes I get that feeling
That ol' whale swallowed me

They say the whale that swallowed Jonah
To put me through the test
Sometimes I get that feeling
That I'm different from the rest

[Solo]

[Chorus:]
They say the whale that swallowed Jonah
Now in the deep blue
Sometimes I get that feeling
That same ol' whale swallowed me

They say the whale that swallowed Jonah
To put me through the test
Sometimes I get that feeling
That I'm different from the rest

[Outro]

Sweet Rowena Lyrics – Joe Bonamassa

Mayday, man over board
I've fallen in love with you
Baby, won't you save me?
'Cause without you I just won't pull through

Sweet Rowena, won't you call my number?
Sweet Rowena, won't you call my name?
Throw me a line, I'm going under
And my heart is going up in flames

SOS, I'm in distress
Drown in a pool of tears
Angel, tell me how you feel?
Spending your time up in here

Sweet Rowena, won't you dial my number?
Sweet Rowena, won't you call my name?
Throw me a line, I'm going under
And my heart is going up in flames

911 no need to come
Just cancel my emergency (oh my emergency baby)
The sweetest thing, Lord, I've ever seen
Is snuggled right here next to me

Sweet Rowena, she dialed my number
Sweet Rowena, she called my name
Pull back the covers, I'm going under (going under baby)
And my house is going up in flames (up in flames)
Sweet Rowena, she dialed my number (call my number baby)
Sweet Rowena, she called my name
Pull back the covers, I?m going under (going under now)
Lord the house is going up in flames (oh in flames yes)
Oh yes it is baby
