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

Prisoner Lyrics – Joe Bonamassa

I've never been wrong
But you're the only one I trust to show me the way
I always hear your voice
And in my dreams I hear you calling
Out my name

What is it about you?
Some kind of light shines from your face
And I can't turn away

I'm like a prisoner
Captured in your eyes,
I've been taken
I've been hypnotized

I'm like a prisoner
Captured in your eyes
Oh I've been taken
I've been hypnotized

Well eyes say everything
You want to keep me here forever, and I can't escape
One minute's so sincere,
Then you completely turn against me
And I'm afraid

And you don't have to say you love me,
'Cause if you want me now, I'll stay
And I can't turn away

I'm like a prisoner
Captured in your eyes
I've been taken,
Taken by surprise

I'm like a prisoner
Captured in your eyes
Oh I've been taken
I've been hypnotized

I'm like a prisoner
Captured in your eyes
I've been taken,
I've been hypnotized

I'm like a prisoner
Captured in your eyes
Oh I've been taken
I've been hypnotized

I'm like a prisoner
I'm like a prisoner
I'm like a prisoner
Captured in your eyes
Oh I've been taken,
I've been hypnotized yes
