We must go to South America
The flowers are dropping from the vine
We will gather in the air tonight…

I thought one day I’d save you
Ridin’ up on a big white steed
But there you were holding out a cup
In my hour of need

Sue Ellen, are the roses still sweet - 
That we passed on our way as we walked to the bay
Down at the end of the windy street?

The bees search the hillsides 
for the sweetest drops of dew
They find them in the footprints
left there by you

At a carnival in Nacogdoches, black clouds and thunder on the way
Lighting struck the Ferris wheel; we rolled all the way to Galveston Bay

Oh, Ma’amoiselle 
I read about women like you in books 
What you want with me 
And my dusty panhandle look ...

I'm waitin' for a big orange moon
I'll walk around while the whole town sleeps
And at dawn it's gonna give me a tune …

Sugar of Carquinez is an unreleased song. It's a rough mix - hasn't been mastered, so the sound quality may be affected a bit.

I walked through the city of clay,
a place where I'm not very tall,
but you can buy a golden day
in any market stall

A man drove across the plains with a wife with dead eyes
A car he had to push to start and a suitcase full of lies
But every place just looked the same - Nowhere to start again
With a no good battered heart - Afraid to look within
He's a lonesome American
