Boot Hill (Unknown)
Audio: The Sky Is Crying

Look up on the wall baby, hand me down my shootin' iron
Look up on the wall baby, hand me down my shootin' iron
Call your mother long distance, tell her to expect your body home

If the city don't bury you baby, Lord knows the county will
If the city don't bury you baby, Lord knows the county will
You've made your last mistake, you're goin' way out on Boot Hill

Lord, I don't wanna whacks you darlin', cause you gave my first thrill
Lord, I don't wanna whacks you baby, 'cause you gave me my first thrill
You did me so wrong baby, you're goin' out on Boot Hill

The Sky Is Crying (E. James and M. Levy - ASCAP)
Audio: The Sky Is Crying, SRV box set

The sky is crying
Can you see the tears roll down the street?
The sky is crying
Can you see the tears roll down the street?
I've been looking for my baby, and I wonder where can she be

I saw my baby early one morning
She was walking on down the street
I saw my baby early this morning
She was walking on down the street
You know it hurt me, hurt me so bad
Made my poor heart skip a beat

I've got a real, real bad feeling
That my baby don't love me more
I've got a real, real, real, real bad feeling
That my baby, she don't love me more
You know the sky, the sky's been crying
Can you see the tears roll down my nose?

Empty Arms (S.R. Vaughan - ASCAP)
Audio: Soul To Soul, The Sky Is Crying, The Real Deal: Greatest Hits Vol.2, SRV Box Set

You're gonna miss me little darlin', the day that I'm gone
You're gonna miss me little baby, .the day that I'm gone
Cause I'm leavin' in the mornin', won't be back at all

You have run me ragged baby, it's your own fault you're on your own
You have run me ragged baby, it's your own fault you're on your own
You didn't want me no way baby, 'till that other man was gone

You can try to get me back baby, with all your tricks and charms
You can try to get me back baby, with all your tricks and charms
But when all your games are over, you'll be left with empty arms

Little Wing (J. Hendrix)
Audio: The Sky Is Crying, SRV box set
NOTE: Little Wing is not an instrumental, but Stevie Ray Vaughan never
recorded this song with the lyrics

Well, she's walking through the clouds
With a circus mind that's running wild
Butterflies and zebras
And moonbeams are a fairytale
That's all she ever thinks about
Riding the wind

When I'm sad, she comes to me
With a thousand smiles she gives to me for free
It's all right, she says, it's all right
Take anything you want from me
Anything

Fly on, little wing
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Fly on, little wing

Close To You (W. Dixon)

I wanna be close to you baby, as I can get
Close to you baby, as water is wet
Close to you baby, as the hair on your head
Close to you baby, you better believe what I said

I wanna be close to you baby
Yeah, let me be close to you

Close you you baby, as cold is to ice
Close you you baby, as fire is to smoke
Close you you baby, as a pig is to pork
I wanna be close to you baby
Whoa, let me be close to you
I wanna be close to you darlin'
'Til you don't know what to say or do

I said closer and closer, baby
Closer and closer, baby - ha ha
Closer and closer, baby
Closer and closer, baby
I wanna be close to you, darlin'
'Til you don't know what to say or do

I wanna be close to you baby, as the whites of your eyes
Close to you baby, as cold is to ice
Close to you baby, as an egg is to a hen
Close you baby, as Siamese twins

I wanna be close to you baby
Yeah, let me be close to you
I wanna be close to you darlin'
'Til you don't know what to say or do

Life By The Drop (D. Bramhall, B. Login - ASCAP)
Audio: The Sky Is Crying, The Real Deal: Greatest Hits Vol.2

Hello there, my old friend
Not so long ago, it was till the end
We played outside in the pouring rain
On our way up the road, we'd start over again

You're living your dreams, whoa you on top
My mind is aching, Lord it won't stop
That's how it happens, living life by the drop

Up and down the road in our worn-out shoes
Talkin' 'bout good things and singin' the blues
You went your way and I stayed behind
We both knew it was just a matter of time

You're living your dreams, whoa you on top
My mind is aching, Lord it won't stop
That's how it happens, living life by the drop

No wasted time, we're alive today
Churning up the past, there's no easier way
Time's in between us, a means to an end
God, it's good to be here walking together, my friend

We're living our dreams
My mind stopped aching
That's how it happens, living life by the drop
That's how it happens, living life by the drop
That's how it happens, living life by the drop
