1. Today I'm Leaving Home (Kletezka)

It's another bad discussion
I don't want to read the daily news
I came home I want to leave it
I came home to love my life

Drinking is the better way than
Having fun with anyone
I came home I want to leave you
I came home to change my life

Because today I'm leaving home
And there's nothing you can do
To make me change my mind
Bring back the feelings that I knew
Because today I'm leaving home
And I won't came back again
You won't miss me,
You won't kiss me anymore

I remember that I loved you
And I hate to be alone
But the key is in the mailbox
And the van is loaded to go

No one could say who went wrong
But the road goes on forever
And I know that there is something
We had lost so far away

2. Lonesome Fugitive (Anderson/Anderson)

3. Death Valley Junction (Wiegandt/Kletezka)

There’s a place, called the Death Valley Junction
You’ll find it in the desert of salt
A hotel and an opera house
But no people in the dusty roads
And only a cat is sneaking around

There’s a place, called the Death Valley Junction
You’ll find it in the desert of salt
Take a soda pop and a homemade pie
In the cool Greek hall of the past
There’s no sound, no sound the desert heat is quiet

Get lost in Death Valley Junction
Take a ride to nowhere
There’s no time but feel the heat
And all you hear is the sound of your heartbeat

Like a ghost town in the desert
Without any clouds in the sky
Have a coffee and leave
Get lost in Death Valley Junction

4. Jealousy (Kletezka)

Jealousy is my favorite disease
My heart is beating tonight
From my head to my feet
My heart is riding on a black horse tonight
And I don't know what shall I do
And if it's right or if it's wrong
When I saw you in the darkness
On the back of your car
I don't want to see anyone else
To love and kiss you so far
On the back seat, on the back seat of your car

Jealousy is my favorite disease
The devil is driving me crazy
'Cause you're the one that I need
I'm your melancholy baby,
I'm your sad and lonely man
I'm your hot, hot lover and I never forget
That I saw you in the darkness
On the back seat of your car
I don't want to see anyone else
To love and kiss you so far
On the back seat, on the back seat of your car

My aching, aching, aching heart is burning
This sweet disgusting feeling is alive
I'll try to understand you and I warned you
Don't you ever try to get out of my life
'Cause than I shoot you in the darkness
On the back seat of your car
I don't want to see anyone else
To love and kiss you so far
On the back seat, on the back seat of your car

5. Never met a girl like you (Kletezka)

Never met a girl like you
And everyday the feeling grew
And I know that you belong to me
Never met a girl like you
At last this vision has come true
And I believe in love again
But hiding feelings is your game
You have got 1000 names
And you are running faster than a train

Never met a girl like you
I'm standing so long in the queue
But I can't find a place for us to meet
Never met a girl like you
I don't know if I'm the one you chose
But I'm waiting for your love
Hiding feelings is your game
You have got 1000 names
You are running faster than a train

6. The Lost Dutchman Mine (Kletezka)

I'm going to the Superstitions,
Find myself a claim.
Don't want to dream of being a rich man,
Nothing will ever be the same.
I say goodbye to my children
And goodbye to my wife.
I say hello to the desert
To my brand-new life,
Where the treasure's hidden
In a mine no one can find.
Searching for gold in
The Lost Dutchman Mine

I'm not searching for glory,
I'm only mining for gold.
I don't like rattlesnakes too much
So I have to do it all alone.
It's written on a panel,
It's written in stone.
You only have to read the landscape
Find the signs that will show you
Where the treasure's hidden
In a mile no one can find.
I'm searching for gold in
The Lost Dutchman Mine

7. The Best Years (Wiegandt/Kletezka)

When I wake up in the morning I remember
Many years they come and go
I don't want to have them back
I've walked many miles to be where I belong
I've lost many hopes but still I hope I'm moving on

It's a brand-new day and I have to say
Hello to the best years of my life
Here are the best years of my life

When I wake up than I look into the mirror
See all these wrinkles in my face
And know where they come from
All these wrinkles are telling many stories
Stories about my life
But still I hope I'm moving on

8. The Dark Dressed Cowgirl (Kletezka)

One day I was riding down the breaks of Montana,
When a dark dressed cowgirl crossed my way.
She wore two shining guns on a snake leather belt
And she did ask me: Do you want to be alone on your ride?
She said: Nananananana, it goes like this.
She said: Nananananana, come on ride with me.

When the night time comes we're looking for a place,
To unsaddle our horses and stay 'til the end of the day.
But then I woke up with a big fat gun in my mouth
And she told me that's the end you're going nowhere.
She said...

It's time to go to the glory land
To the glory land right now!

She took away all of my money and my shining leather boots,
She took my rifle, my revolver, my saddle and my horse,
There was no chance for me, there was no rifle and no knife
She turned away kissed me goodbye, that's the end of your life,
She said...

9. Tramps ( Wiegandt/Kletezka )

He is driving in his caravan
Looking for a place to settle down
To make his life quiet and easy
Anywhere at the edge of a town
Then he meets a hitch-hiking girl
Ask her to get in and stay
She says, Oh I have no place to go
We can make a living in our own way

Now he's in love like he never was before
With a girl he wants from the start and
He never wants to get in touch again
With loneliness and heartache, no more.

She has a little cat in her bag
Only a few weeks old
Find a place in a carton
In a corner of the caravan
One day the girl brings a little marten
Almost dead with hungry eyes
So they are four, quite a family
And live happily for a while

Now he's happy like he never was before
With a girl, a cat and a marten
He never wants to get in touch again
With loneliness and heartache, no more

But the cat grows up fast
And left the home with a tom-cat
The marten gets healthy and fat
And found himself a wife
After they are gone
The girl gets restless
She feels that the time has come
To leave the man in his caravan

Now he's alone like he was before
There's no girl, no cat and no marten
He never wants to get in touch again
With tramps like this girl, this cat and this marten

10. Honky Tonkin' (at the Hitchin' Post) (Kletezka)

I spent a day at the largest pool
That mankind ever had built
And when the sun went down to sleep
I was looking for something to eat
Down the road there was a Hitchin' Post
Where the horses are waiting outside
That's where the cowboys sit down and retire
After a long hard day outside on the ranch

Going honky tonkin' at the Hitchin' Post
Going honky tonkin'

I sat down and I enjoyed the dinner
They got catfish all you can eat
The people where friendly at the Hitchin' Post
And I regret when it was time to leave
On my way back home I met a big green snake
She was looking for some poopfish in the creek
She also loves this place called the Hitchin' Post
And the coyote-fish all she can eat

She's going honky tonkin' at the Hitchin' Post
Going Honky tonkin'

11. Folsom Prison Blues (Johnny Cash)

12. Naomi (Wiegandt/Kletezka)

She's like a honky-tonk woman
Nobody knows where she comes from
She's going from one town to another
But she never stays longer than a day

Her eyes are hazel and a kind of mousy is her hair
But she has something, every man is looking at her
She never speaks a lot but listen the whole night through
When a lonely man talks after his third beer
She has no place to stay but finds a bed every night
She has no place to stay but finds a bed every night

She's a warm-hearted honky-tonk woman
Nobody knows where she comes from
She's going from one bed to another
But she never stays longer than one night

There was a time she had a husband and kids
But she had to leave and make it her way
She's not searching for luck because she know how it feels
Nothing could be harder than trying to forget
She has no place to stay she has to move on and on
She has no place to stay she has to move on and on

She's a breaking heart honky-tonk woman
Nobody knows where she comes from
She's going from one man to another
But she never stays longer than a short love

13. No Snakes In Heaven (Wiegandt/Kletezka)

When I came home this evening
I can't believe my eyes
I had this awful feeling
My heart will beat to day
My body's tall and slidely
My skin is green like bile, I'm the snake

There's a snake in my room
Waiting in the corner
There's a snake in my room
She is waiting, she is waiting for me

I know that there must be something
But I can't find her anyway
So I lay down to sleep
When I awake she says
When days are getting older
My mortal frame turns red, I'm the snake

She's sucking her own poison
Out of her venom tooth
Looking around with itching
Shows me her splitted tongue and says
I'm having a deadly message
For you and the rest of your house, I'm the snake

Then I wake up in heaven
Thinking about those lies
That there are no snakes in heaven
Lord can I trust my eyes
My eyes are bright and red
Staring without any movement, I'm the snake

There's a snake in heaven
Waiting in the corner
There's a snake in heaven
She is waiting, she is waiting for me
