I need a friend to lend.
I´ll do it with any friend.
you´re weak enough to realize.
I´ll do cause you have a price.
You'll take advantage while
I hang myself to dry
So I can't see you every night... for free.
I'm digging in my mind,
I do hope you have the time
I´ll shout loud in front of you
If you love me and hate me too.
You'll take advantage while
I hang myself to dry
So I can't see you every night...
for free.

Is this the letter that you wrote
The day you went so far away from home?
Are these three kisses on the note
The ones i'll never have again? No more...
What did you leave so quickly for?
Why didn't you write your adress or your phone
Why don't you stay? Why can't I go?
How could i be so high and now so low?
And now i'm heading down the road
I'm leaving all the promisses you broke
This age is coming to an end as fast as every day
And the only thing i can think, as i always did,
Is that you'll always feel free...
Is this the song that i composed
The night we had a milion beers or more?
Are these the cowboy boots you wore
The rising day that cought us making love?
And now i'm heading down the road
I'm leaving all the promisses you broke
This age is coming to an end as fast as every day
And the only thing i can think, as i always did,
Is that you'll always feel free...

I'm trying harder than ever
Even when we were in love
I'm longing to get into your life, babe
Don't wanna wait anymore
'Cause everything was exciting
When i belonged to you
Yeah, everything gets exciting
When i belong to you
And when the moonlight shining reflects in your eyes
I feel something that I can't explain
If there was just a little hope that you could feel the same...
Love can be frightening when you fall... Oh...
I'm trying harder than ever
Even when we were in love
I'm longing to get into your life, babe
Don't wanna waste anymore
'Cause everything was exciting
When i belonged to you
Yeah, everything gets exciting
When i belong to you
And when the moonlight shining reflects in your eyes
I feel something that I can't explain
If there was just a little hope that you could feel the same...
Love can be frightening when you fall... Oh...
And I remember when you sang these old songs for me
It was a hot hot stary night, we were alone in the street
And I know that I should remain somewhere in your memories
Well, it's hard when something so close is still so far to reach...
And when the moonlight shining reflects in your eyes
I feel something that I can't explain
If there was just a little hope that you could feel the same...
Love can be frightening when you fall... Oh...

Well I’ve been to many places ‘round this country
And I guess that I will see so many more
But there’s a town in this road, passed the mile eightyfive
To which I swore I was never coming back
There I met a pretty girl that drove me crazy
She was as sweet as any man could dream
She had a perfect smile, a crown made up with daisies
And a secret that she used to keep for me
And she promissed everything but she betrayed me
And all this bitterness still remains
As I guess she wouldn’t even dare to tell me
I took her crown away... Her crown away
As the time went by the daisies never withered
And I wonder if she ever cried for me
And when the wind blows strong I think I hear her whispers
Telling me that now she’s feeling incomplete
And she promissed everything but she betrayed me
And all this bitterness still remains
As I guess she wouldn’t even dare to tell me
I took her crown away... Her crown away

When I think ‘bout the things that I have done
And the time that I spent at home alone
There’s some thoughts and regrets that never change
And the fears and the tears just go away
And those things made me see
Life’s too short let’s just live
Life puts crossroads and stones along your way
And you keep loosing friends every day
You can feel winds of change blowing your mind
Destiny is now reflecting in your eyes
And those things made me see
Life’s too short let’s just live

Well I'm just a lonesome cowboy
A total stranger in this town
I had to take an empty boxcar
And I had to leave my home
Beyond the point of no return
I took this old railroad
I had to leave my mama
I had to leave my horse
I left looking for something
sometimes iIthink I can't find
Sometimes I can't avoid feeling
I'm out of date, out of time
I walk down abandoned roads
I ain't got a dime in my pockets
There ain't no hopes or dreams around
Only my shadow to bother
"Hey, lonesome cowboy,
where do you think you go?
Why don't you give us your hat
Why don't you sing us a song?"
I heard these joky voices
And I didn't believe what I saw
There were two pretty twin pricesses
Trying to shoot me down
I run inside the cantina
Trying to keep myself safe and sound
But that ain't a good idea
With these two goddesses around
And I knew in that right moment that I was getting into trouble
When they paid some double whiskies and I started to see double
And I ain't gonna say a single word 'bout how the story ends
After drinking and dancing like crazy almost to loose our conciousness

Hey nena,
Don't wanna hear what I have to say?
Hey nena,
Don't wanna see whay I have to show?
I can't stay away from everything
Is that the life we have to live?
I can't get along with other ones
So I hope you know what it means
Hey nena,
I'm gonna take you where I wanna go
Hey nena,
I'm gonna try to have it all with you
I can't stay away from everything
Is that the life we have to live?
I can't get along with other ones
So I hope you know what it means

That’s a train you know I just can’t jump in
Sometimes it gets so hard to see
I’m standing here beating on my mandoline
With all these promises you left for me
I’ll be there for you even if I’m half sick
I’d run away if you just hated me
I’d be there for you if you could understand me
But now I have another place to be...
I’ve got the fever down in my pockets
My stupidity always follows me
I take it to your house but can’t unlock it
You forgot to leave me with the key
I’ll be there for you even if I’m half sick
I’d run away if you just hated me
I’d be there for you if you could understand me
But now I have another place to be...
But now I have another place to be...

How many times have you heard someone say,
"If I had HIS money, I would do things my way."
But little they know, that it's so hard to find
one rich man in ten, with a satisfied mind.
When my life is over and my time has run out,
my friends and my loved ones, I will leave there's no doubt
Money can't buy back all your youth when you're old,
a friend when you're lonely, or peace to your soul.
The wealthiest person, is a pauper at times
compared to the man with a satisfied mind.
But one thing's for certain, when it comes my time,
I will leave this old world with a satisfied... With a satisfied mind

Oh little girl from Virginia
You’re begging me to stay
But now this life seems too far away
And i look for luck and money
Day by day
Oh little girl from Virginia
You’re asking me to live my way
But there’s no light that can guide my steps
And i look for some money day by day
Oh little girl from Virginia
You don’t even know my name
I don’t think i’m ever gonna settle down
And i ain’t got no money for today
And all the time we spent together...
And all the words i didn’t say
And now i can’ believe you’re cheating me this way
While you spend all my money day by day
Oh little girl from Virginia
You’re begging me to stay
But now this life seems too far away
And i look for luck and money
Day by day
And all the time we spent together...
And all the words i didn’t say
And now i can’ believe you’re cheating me this way
While you spend all my money day by day
you spend all my money day by day
you spend all my money... day by day

La noche ya cayó, yo no caigo dormido
Bebido me pilla el amanecer
Las horas se amontonan las horas se persiguen
Y el lunes comienza a aparecer
Qué tendrá ese bar de los hombres perdidos
Que entran y no pueden salir?
Cuántos desengaños, cuantos sueños malditos
Caen en el olvido... de ese pozo sin fin
A veces hay jóvenes, a veces no hay doncellas
No encuentro la salida de este bar
A veces la salida parece muy estrecha
Cuidado no se vayan a enfadar
Hay gente veterana, que alguno dé guerra
Algún coyote siempre habrá
Monos malabares al salir por la puerta
Pinturas rupestres del lugar
Qué tendrá ese bar de los hombres perdidos
Que entran y no pueden salir?
Cuántos desengaños, cuantos sueños malditos
Caen en el olvido de ese pozo sin fin... De ese pozo sin fin...
