If you've got a friend in Jesus
Won't you tell him about me
If you've got a friend in Jesus
Won't you tell him about me
Tell him buy me off the boss man
And set me free
If you've got a friend in Jesus
Tell him help this broken man
If you've got a friend in Jesus
Help this broken man
I got too much twistin' pain
Drinkin' gasoline from an old steam can
If you've got a friend in Jesus
Tell him listen what I say
If you've got a friend in Jesus
Tell him listen what I say
You've got to save me from this Satan
And help me find a way
You've got a friend in Jesus
Head Out On The Highway lyrics - Chris Rea
Head out on the Highway
I've gotta lose these country blues
Head out on the Highway
I've gotta lose these country blues
Ain't nothing for me here no more
Ain't nothing I can do
I was bad with my woman
She took up and flew away
I was bad with my woman
She took up and flew away
Now she gone and left me
Got no reason for to stay
I went back to her doorway
But she would not let me in
I went back to her doorway
But she would not let me in
Now she knows I was cheating
It's a game I cannot win
Head out on the highway
Wild Pony lyrics - Chris Rea
Oh I got me a wild pony
I sure can't stay on top
Oh I got me a wild pony
I sure can't stay on top
Every time I try to pull her in
She always throw me off
Oh I got me a wild pony
She's the type so hard to find
Oh I got me a wild pony
She's the type so hard to find
If she done a rodeo
She kick you off every time
Oh wild pony
Here she come now
Me and my wild pony
Someday I'm gonna break her in
Me and my wild pony
Someday I'm gonna break her in
Gonna take her to the race track
For sure I know she'll win
Wild pony, come on wild pony
I sure can't stay on top
Oh I got me a wild pony
I sure can't stay on top
Every time I try to pull her in
She always throw me off
Oh I got me a wild pony
She's the type so hard to find
Oh I got me a wild pony
She's the type so hard to find
If she done a rodeo
She kick you off every time
Oh wild pony
Here she come now
Me and my wild pony
Someday I'm gonna break her in
Me and my wild pony
Someday I'm gonna break her in
Gonna take her to the race track
For sure I know she'll win
Wild pony, come on wild pony
Steam Train Blues lyrics - Chris Rea
Steam train goes so fast
Goes so far away
I hear that engine sing
Listen to what it say
Gonna get me on that track
Get on board some day
Hear that whistle blow
She cry out in the night
See the flame light a smokestack
Such a beautiful sight
She tell me she going somewhere
And everything going to be alright
Steam train blues
She's in the distance now
But I still hear her piston roar
She's in the distance now
But I still hear her piston roar
Ain't coming back no more
Steam train blues
Goes so far away
I hear that engine sing
Listen to what it say
Gonna get me on that track
Get on board some day
Hear that whistle blow
She cry out in the night
See the flame light a smokestack
Such a beautiful sight
She tell me she going somewhere
And everything going to be alright
Steam train blues
She's in the distance now
But I still hear her piston roar
She's in the distance now
But I still hear her piston roar
Ain't coming back no more
Steam train blues

Somewhere Between Highway 61 & 49 lyrics - Chris Rea
Only God know what I'm feeling
I'm just waiting for a sign
Only God know what I'm feeling
See me looking for that sign
But the devil he may get me
Somewhere between Highway 61 and 49
Well now Mama used to cry
Lord help that boy of mine
My Mama used to cry
She said lord help that son of mine
Cos there's only one place that he's wanting
Somewhere between Highway 61 and 49
Oh there was only ever one place
For the troubled soul to find
Oh there was only ever one place
For the troubled soul to find
Caught between the bible and the devil
Somewhere between Highway 61 and 49
Roll a dice, take a chance
Put your future on the line
Roll a dice and take a chance
Put your future on the line
Cos your fear and your fortune
Is somewhere between Highway 61 and 49
There's only one place he can go now
There's only one place for this kind
Somewhere between Highway 61 and 49
I'm just waiting for a sign
Only God know what I'm feeling
See me looking for that sign
But the devil he may get me
Somewhere between Highway 61 and 49
Well now Mama used to cry
Lord help that boy of mine
My Mama used to cry
She said lord help that son of mine
Cos there's only one place that he's wanting
Somewhere between Highway 61 and 49
Oh there was only ever one place
For the troubled soul to find
Oh there was only ever one place
For the troubled soul to find
Caught between the bible and the devil
Somewhere between Highway 61 and 49
Roll a dice, take a chance
Put your future on the line
Roll a dice and take a chance
Put your future on the line
Cos your fear and your fortune
Is somewhere between Highway 61 and 49
There's only one place he can go now
There's only one place for this kind
Somewhere between Highway 61 and 49

Two Days Missing Down The Viper Room lyrics - Chris Rea
I went down to the Viper room
Just the other day
I only popped by
For something to take away
Just for a while I thought I'd stay
Two shots of whiskey and the band began to play
Oh trouble
Yeah, I got trouble
I can't remember nothing
But some old blue tune
Two day's gone missing down the Viper room
Oh trouble
Yeah, I got trouble
My baby she gone
Without a trace
I got blood on my jacket
And a bruise on my face
They say the cops are coming
Yeah they get me soon
They seem to know what happened
Down the Viper room
Oh trouble
Yeah, I got trouble
I can't remember nothing
But some old blue tune
Two day's gone missing down the Viper room
Just the other day
I only popped by
For something to take away
Just for a while I thought I'd stay
Two shots of whiskey and the band began to play
Oh trouble
Yeah, I got trouble
I can't remember nothing
But some old blue tune
Two day's gone missing down the Viper room
Oh trouble
Yeah, I got trouble
My baby she gone
Without a trace
I got blood on my jacket
And a bruise on my face
They say the cops are coming
Yeah they get me soon
They seem to know what happened
Down the Viper room
Oh trouble
Yeah, I got trouble
I can't remember nothing
But some old blue tune
Two day's gone missing down the Viper room
Who Cares If I Do lyrics - Chris Rea
I'm on the train to nowwhere
See me coming through
Got to find me something
Something new
I take all my chances
And who cares if I do
Yeah I don't feel nothing
Nothing no more
Gonna buy me an old 44
I got nothing to lose
Who cares if I do
Who cares if I do
Oh I ain't gonna take it
I don't care who
If I go down
You'll go too
Down with the Devil
Who cares if I do
See me coming through
Got to find me something
Something new
I take all my chances
And who cares if I do
Yeah I don't feel nothing
Nothing no more
Gonna buy me an old 44
I got nothing to lose
Who cares if I do
Who cares if I do
Oh I ain't gonna take it
I don't care who
If I go down
You'll go too
Down with the Devil
Who cares if I do
What Made Me Love You lyrics - Chris Rea
I got your letter
The other day
I guess I knew
What you could not day
Oh babe
I can forgive
But I can't forget
Because your cheating heart
Well it done me wrong
I fell for your lies
Now you've been and gone
I can forgive
But I can't forget
You cheated on me
Well, you hurt me so
You said you loved me
That you would never go
What made me love you
I will never know
What made me love you
The other day
I guess I knew
What you could not day
Oh babe
I can forgive
But I can't forget
Because your cheating heart
Well it done me wrong
I fell for your lies
Now you've been and gone
I can forgive
But I can't forget
You cheated on me
Well, you hurt me so
You said you loved me
That you would never go
What made me love you
I will never know
What made me love you

Some say she's an ageing queen
