The Final Silence
In the barber's in the square
All her new-found friends are there to see it done
Bernice bobs her hair
She's been driven to despair
'Cos her cousin doesn't care about anyone
Her hair was long
Her hair was dark
Her hair fell down her back

This Is How I Live
Met a girl on a farm we started carrying on, late at night she
said honey - won't you stay? I said baby that just ain't the
way I live Uh Huh!
I had this girl in the south she said you got a big mouth, and
that ain't right Well I'm no saint, but I ain't bad I'm too busy
baby just loving the life I have Oh Yeah!
And I'd stay but I got to move on I ride the wind and I'm gone
Oh, I'm ready to go I got 19 women on my mind I got 6 lives
left 'cause I've already died 3 times but I'm fine
I heard a knock at the door It was a quarter to four I heard

My My!
And I'd stay but I got to move on I ride the wind and I'm gone
Oh, this is how I live Oh, I got nothing to give
I took a seat at the bar You know I wouldn't be far Some
people came and then they went But I ain't leaving till my
money is spent Oh No!
