TV in My Arms

I found you by the roadside
To the roadside once again
I watched you until daylight
Time and time again

TV in my arms
Still work, but I'm gone
LA tonight
If I make good time

I met her on the tables
Losing every hand for a friend
I moved in to her trailer
I remember walking in

With a TV in my arms
She said, "Where's that from?"
Now a car comes by
Hey, who's that guy?

With a TV in my arms
TV in my arms

I came in on this highway
To the highway once again
You might even see me
If you're ever on again

TV in my arms (x4)

Don't Fall in Love with a Lonely Girl

You know I wake up, it's first light
Been sleeping in my chair all night
Just then, on time
She walks in like everything's fine

Don't fall in love with a lonely girl
'Cause you'll never be alone with her
Don't give your heart to a lonely one
'Cause you'll always wonder where she's gone

Don't fall in love with a lonely girl
'Cause you'll spend your nights waiting up for her

I'd like to make her my wife
But she's never there enough to reply
I should say goodbye
Believe me I have tried and tried and tried

Don't fall in love with a lonely girl
'Cause you'll never be alone with her
Don't give your heart to a lonely one
'Cause you'll always wonder where she's gone

Don't fall in love with a lonely girl
'Cause you'll spend your nights waiting up for her

In the daytime she's like a mannequin
That in the nighttime can't be found
Man she's out doing things I don't imagine
In an ordinary town

Don't fall in love with a lonely girl
'Cause you'll never be alone with her
Don't give your heart to a lonely one
'Cause you'll always wonder where she's gone

Don't fall in love with a lonely girl
'Cause you'll spend your nights waiting up for her

Too Close to the Rio Grande

Well I've been living too close to the Rio Grande
Gotta move it on up to a higher land
Now the river has turned into a flood
And the sun's the color of rio blood

Well I got those speakers in Okinawa
But they're too damn heavy for my little boat
So we row into the corner and I don't look back
Driving to her mother's in a U-Haul van

And I've been living too close to the Rio Grande

Between the wife and the ex and the government
Man I never met a dollar that wasn't spent
Now the sun is shining onto the east
And it's dark where the river and the highway meet

And I've been living too close to the Rio Grande
I've been living too close to the Rio Grande (x3)

Central Station

Early morning, central station
Tears in coffee, things unspoken
Dry your eyes on a mended dress
Stockings crossed, they do not match

I'm bound back home
My father died
I won't be back
For quite some time

On the ceiling of central station
Not for wishing, those constellations
Tired stone, forgotten glass
Weary wood and faded brass

I'm bound back home
And you can't go
When I'll be back
I don't know
