4 to 1 in Atlanta
Oh wild Billy told me even I would have a chance
If I took a trip down the Georgia highway and asked some girl to dance
Billy said he'd been there, had the best time of his life
He went to stay for the weekend and he came back with a wife
Well it's 4 to 1 in Atlanta, I'm gonna get lucky tonight
The girls are in my favor and if I play my cards just right
Well I might find an angel whose fire I can light
It's 4 to 1 in Atlanta and I'm on my way tonight
I can't wait to get there I know she's waiting for me
With eyes as blue as Texas skies like I ain't never seen
And as I think about it my heart starts to pound
I throw this thing into lower gear and crush that hammer down
Well it's 4 to 1 in Atlanta, I'm gonna get lucky tonight
The girls are in my favor and if I play my cards just right
I might find an angel whose fire I can light
It's 4 to 1 in Atlanta and I'm on my way tonight
Here comes a confrontation with the highway patrol
I hope beneath those flashing lights there's an understanding soul
I've only got one story, I'm a man without love
Can we talk about it maam before you write me up?
Well it's 4 to 1 in Atlanta, I'm gonna get lucky tonight
The girls are in my favor and if I play my cards just right
Well I might find an angel whose fire I can light
It's 4 to 1 in Atlanta and I'm on my way tonight
Yeah I'm on my way tonight

5 D (Fifth Demension)
Oh, how is it that I could come out to here
And be still floating?
And never hit bottom, and keep falling through
Just relaxed and paying attention
All my two dimensional boundaries were gone
I had lost to them badly
I saw that world crumble and thought I was dead
But I found my senses still working
And as I continued to drop through the hole
I found all surrounding
Who showed me the joy that innocently is
Just be quiet and feel it around you
And I opened my heart to the whole universe
And I found it was lovin'
And I saw the great blunder my teacher's had made
Scientific delirium madness
I will keep falling as long as I live
All without endin'
And I will remember the place that is now
That has ended before the beginnin'
Oh, how is it that I could come out to here
And be still floating?
And never hit bottom, and keep falling through
Just relaxed and paying attention

A Good Way to Get on My Bad Side
A little lady standing next to me
Isn't she a pretty thing?
I'm the one that put that ring
On her left hand
Another fellow can tip his hat
And I'm as gentle as a pussycat
But let it go much further than that
And he's a dead man
'Cause that's a good way
That's a real good way
That's a good way
To get on my bad side
The politician on my TV
He says he's only lookin' out for me
He says he knows what the poor man needs
In the long run
But every year he gives himself a raise
With a chunk of every buck I make
Now he's talkin' like he wants to take
My shotgun
That's a good way
That's a real good way
That's a good way
To get on my bad side
Ain't lookin' for no trouble
Don't wanna start no fight
Don't want more than I got comin'
I only wanna do what's right
Just treat me like I treat you
And we'll get along just fine
But mister take one step
Across that line
And that's a good way
That's a real good way
That's a good way
To get on our bad side
I like Van Halen and I like George Jones
Charlie Daniels and the Rolling Stones
Bocephus when he rocks-n-rolls
Still kills me
There oughta be a law against cowboy rap
And all that boy band crap
A little sissy in a cowboy hat
Ain't country
No, but that's a good way
That's a real good way
That's a good way
To get on my bad side
Yeah, that's a real good way
To get on my bad side
That's a good way
That's a real good way
That's a good way
To get on my bad side
That's a good way
That's a real good way

A Kiss to Build a Dream On
Give me a kiss to build a dream on
And my imagination will thrive upon that kiss
Sweetheart, I ask no more than this
A kiss to build a dream on
Give me a kiss before you leave me
And my imagination will feed my hungry heart
Leave me one thing before we part
A kiss to build a dream on
And when I'm alone with my fancies, I'll be with you
Weaving romances, making believe they're true
Oh, give me your lips for just a moment
And my imagination will make that moment live
Give me what you alone can give
A kiss to build a dream on
When I'm alone with my fancies, I'll be with you
Weaving romances, making believe they're true
Oh, give me lips for just a moment
And my imagination will make that moment live
Oh, give me what you alone can give
A kiss to build a dream on

A Little Love
(pat terry/tia sillers)
She underdressed for the occasion
She wants to go back home and change
A maid of honor wearing waitress shoes,
Just looks strange
Her little brother's getting married
A spur of the moment kind of thing
And she's giving up her lunch break,
Holding the ring
She's never been the jealous kind,
But she can't seem to stop,
That little voice inside saying,
I don't have to have it all
I'm not asking for the world
I don't need a star to fall
I just need a little light
Someone shining in my life
'cause in the dark when you're afraid
A little love can go a long, long way
There was a man she met one summer
His memory keeps her up at night
At the time it felt all wrong
But what if it was right?
Now here she is, throwing the rice
Standing on the sidewalk,
Trying not to cry thinking
I don't have to have it all
I'm not asking for the world
I don't need a star to fall
I just need a little light
Someone shining in my life
'cause in the dark when you're afraid
A little love can go a long, long way
When it's lonely in your life
And you've almost lost your faith
A little love can go a long, long way

A Portrait of Jennie
A Portrait of Jennie
More precious to me
Than a masterpiece
How ever famous it be
The portrait of Jennie
Is etched on my heart
Where her features have been
Sketched from the start
Ah, the color and beauty of life
And the glow of her spirit divine
All cast in heaven's own design
With a portrait of Jennie
I never will part
For there isn't any portrait of Jennie
Except in my heart
For there isn't any portrait of Jennie
Except in my heart

After The Storm
Words that you said
Baby what do you want
After you left
Baby what did you want
While all along,
It was there in a song that you love
After the storm
Baby what will you want
Reasonable time
Baby that's all I need
Just time enough
Babe for you to agree
Where did we go wrong,
Or were we right all the time
After the storm
Baby will you be mine?
Deeply in love we fell (In love we fell)
Into a magic-spell (A magic spell)
Deep as a wishing well
Only the time will tell
Where did we go wrong,
Or were we right all the time
After the storm
Baby will you be mine?
Sheltered and warm
Though the cold winds may blow
Make up your mind
Baby let our love grow
There all along
In the words of a song that you love
After the storm
Will you know what you want?
After the storm
Baby what will you want?

Ain't It Just Like a Woman
When it rains it pours
And man it's really comin' down
Feels like the weight of the whole world
Knocked me to the ground
And that's when she takes me in
And gives me shelter from the storm
Where I'm safe and warm, lost in her arms
Nothings wrong anymore
Ain't it just like a woman
To know when a man needs to be loved?
Life's a race I'll never win
And it's enough to drive me crazy
And when the walls start closing in
It never fails to amaze me
How one little touch
Or a twinkle in her eye
Brings me to life, yeah, she knows the way
To make it alright
Ain't it just like a woman
To know when a man needs to be loved?
That's when she takes me in
Gives me shelter from the storm
Where I'm safe and warm' lost in her arms

All the Things
See the sun how bright it is
It never was before
See the sun it shines right through
My door but no one's there
I see warm smiles I never gave
Reflecting in the air
All the things I want today
All the things I wasted on the way
See the earth how sweet it smells
I don't know how it feels
See the earth it slips beneath
My heels as I pass through
I see tears that I never shed
In every drop of dew
All the things I want today
All the things I wasted on the way
Hear the skies singing songs I could have played
Too busy talking to prove that I was not afraid
See this dried up broken straw
It's turning in to rot
See this dried up broken straw
Forgotten left behind
I see things that I've never done
A blowing in the wind
All the things I want today
All the things I wasted
All the things I want today
All the things I wasted
All the things I want today
All the things I wasted on the way

Am I Blue
I'm just a woman, a lonely woman
Waiting on the weary shore
I'm just a woman, who's only human
One you should feel sorry for
Well I woke up this morning
Along about dawn
Without a warning I found
That he was gone
Why did he do it?
How could he do it?
He never done it before
Am I blue, am I blue?
Ain't these tears in these eyes
Telling you, am I blue?
Well I bet you would be too
If each plan with your man done fell through
There was a time
I was his only one
But now I'm
The second lonely one
Was I gay till today?
But now that man is gone
He's gone and we are through
Am I blue?
There was a time
I was his only one
But now, right now, now, now
I'm the second lonely one
Oh, God I'm lonely
But I remember
Oh, I remember when I was gay
That was up until today
'Cause now that man is gone
He's gone and we are through
Am I, am I, would you believe it
If I told you I'm blue?
Lyrics delivered by lyricsfly.com
Waiting on the weary shore
I'm just a woman, who's only human
One you should feel sorry for
Well I woke up this morning
Along about dawn
Without a warning I found
That he was gone
Why did he do it?
How could he do it?
He never done it before
Am I blue, am I blue?
Ain't these tears in these eyes
Telling you, am I blue?
Well I bet you would be too
If each plan with your man done fell through
There was a time
I was his only one
But now I'm
The second lonely one
Was I gay till today?
But now that man is gone
He's gone and we are through
Am I blue?
There was a time
I was his only one
But now, right now, now, now
I'm the second lonely one
Oh, God I'm lonely
But I remember
Oh, I remember when I was gay
That was up until today
'Cause now that man is gone
He's gone and we are through
Am I, am I, would you believe it

Anna
Anna, you come and ask me girl
To set you free, girl
You say he loves you more than me
So I will set you free
Go with him
(Anna)
Go with him
(Anna)
Anna, girl, before you go now
I want you to know now
That I still love you so
But if he loves you more
Go with him
All of my life
I've been searching for a girl
To love me like I love you
Oh, now
But every girl I've ever had
Breaks my heart and leaves me sad
What am I, what am I supposed to do?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Anna, just one more thing girl
You give back your ring to me
And I will set you free
Go with him
All of my life
I've been searching for a girl
To love me like I love you
But let me tell you now
But every girl I've ever had
Breaks my heart and leaves me sad

And I will set you free
Go with him

Antique Sandy
Antique Sandy lived in the woods
And she'd go to the stream when the weather was good
She'd take down the washing for her old man to wear
And she'd try not to get eaten by the bear
She'd fly to the market in her worn out old balloon
That she traded with the flyer for an antique silver spoon
And when she'd get home she'd cook upon the wooden stove
And she'd go to sleep and listen to the whispers of the grove
At night she dreamed of places where she lived when she was young
Where the corn strip stretched for miles like a giant serpent's tongue
Electric lights and phone bells and every light insane
Like a hundred thousand hungry miles were meeting at her brain
And I greet her in the morning when she wakes up in my arms
And I tell her that I love her and I'll keep her free from harm
I hold her close, she matters, she is all the world to me
'Cause she's my Antique Sandy, and she's in love with me

Anybody Else's Heart But Mine
She's history, don't ruin good beer with tears
Get up off those knees
She ain't coming back, Jack
And if you think she will you're on the wrong track
And our hearts get broken every day
And life goes on without her here
It would be so clear
If only it was
Anybody else's heart but mine
And I'd say "Hey that's the breaks and it'll mend in time"
Now, I'd know just what to do if it was anybody else's blues
If it was anybody else's heart but mine
Now, hey, what's goin' on?
It's a little bit different when it's my love that's gone
Now old platitudes
Like find somebody else now they just won't do
And I was so wise when giving free advice
To everybody else
But now hearing it myself
I wish that it was
Anybody else's heart but mine
And I'd say "Hey that's the breaks and it'll mend in time"
Now, I'd know just what to do if it was anybody else's blues
It was anybody else's heart but mine

Artificial Energy
Sitting all alone now, I took my ticket to ride
Just a matter of time now 'til I'll be up in the sky
Coming up on me now, I'm king for a night
What's it gonna be now, how willful things are building insight
Do you think it's really the trip that you seek?
I've got my doubts it's happened to me
Artificial energy is racing in my mind
I've got a strange feeling, I'm going to die before my time
I'm coming down off amphetamines
And I'm in jail 'cause I killed the queen

As Long as I Live
Maybe I can't live to love you
As long as I want to
Life isn't long enough, baby
But I can love you as long as I live
And maybe I can't give you diamonds
And things like I want to
But I can promise you, baby
I'm gonna want to as long as I live
Well, I never cared, now I'm scared
I won't live long enough
That's why I wear my rubbers when it rains
And eat an apple everyday, see the doctor anyway
And what if I can't live to love you
As long as I want to

At Seventeen
I leaned the truth at seventeen
That love was meant for beauty queens
And high school girls with clear-skinned smiles
Who married young and then retired
The valentines I never knew
The Friday night charades of youth
Were spent on one more beautiful
At seventeen I learned the truth
And those of us with ravaged faces
Lacking in the social graces
Desperately remained at home
Inventing lovers on the phone
Who called to say, "Come dance with me"
And murmured vague obscenities
It isn't all it seems at seventeen
A brown-eyed girl in hand-me-downs
Whose name I never could pronounce
Said, "Pity, please, the ones who serve
'Cause they only get what they deserve"
And the rich relationed hometown queen
Marries into what she needs
With a guarantee of company
And haven for the elderly
So remember those who win the game
Lose the love they sought to gain
In debentures of quality and dubious integrity
Their small town eyes will gape at you
In dull surprise when payment due
Exceeds accounts received at seventeen
To those of us who knew the pain
Of valentines that never came
And those whose names were never called
When choosing sides for basketball
It was long ago and far away
The world was younger than today
When dreams were all they gave for free
To ugly duckling girls like me
We all play the game and when we dare
To cheat ourselves at solitaire
Inventing lovers on the phone
Repenting other lives unknown
They call and say, "Come on, dance with me"
And murmur vague obscenities
At ugly girls like me at seventeen

Autumn in New York
Autumn in New York
Why does it seem so inviting
Autumn in New York
It spells the thrill of first-knighting
Glittering crowds and shimmering clouds
In canyons of steel
They're making me feel
I'm home
It's autumn in New York
That brings the promise of new love
Autumn in New York
Is often mingled with pain
Dreamers with empty hands
And they sigh for exotic lands
It's autumn in New York
It's good to live it again
This autumn in New York
Transforms the slums into Mayfair
Autumn in New York
You'll need no castles in Spain
Lovers that bless the dark
On benches in Central Park
It's autumn in New York
It's good to live it again

Baby Put Your Clothes On
Baby, put your clothes on, put on those brand new shoes
I wanna take you downtown, I got a little blues to lose
Wanna see you dancing, swinging to a country song
I love to show you off, baby, put your clothes on
We been sittin 'round here doin' nothin'
Maybe we could use a little belt-buckle rubbin'
Where the lights are low and the music's fine
It wouldn't hurt us none to have a little you and me time
Baby, put your clothes on and paint up those pretty lips
Slip on those cool blue jeans, ones that ride low on your hips
Gonna make some heads turn, little girl you look so strong
I love to show you off, baby, put your clothes on, yeah now
Baby, put your clothes on, put on those brand new shoes
I wanna take you downtown, I got a little blues to lose

Back in the Swing of Things
Well I was really feeling down
I'd really been uptight
About to lose my mind
When I came in here tonight
Things have turned around
Since they turned the jukebox on
I laid my money down
And somebody played my song
And I'm back in the swing of things
An amazing change takes place
When I hear them twin fiddles play
Oh, there's a difference of daylight
And dark in my heart over music
Chases my blues away
When those playboys are playing
I'm feeling no pain
I'm back in the swing of things
I'm back in the swing of things
Say would you like to dance
And join me in the fun
Here's your one big chance
'Cause the night is almost done
Girl, can you believe
How good it makes you feel
I have to pinch myself sometimes
To find out if it's real
Oh, I'm back in the swing of things
An amazing change takes place
When I hear them twin fiddles play
Oh, there's a difference of daylight
And dark in my heart over music
Chases my blues away

Back to Texas
I left Houston 'round two a.m.
In the middle of a pourin' rain
I drove all night to Oklahoma
Scared I'd never see you again
I found you in Tulsa
Hopin' you'd agree to come on home with me
I've been feelin' like one lone star
Lost in the midnight blue
Darlin', you're still deep in my heart
And there's nothin' I won't do
But I can't get back to Texas without you
I never wanted to see the end
Of those Amarillo summer nights
I'd give anything to hold you again
'Neath the Austin city lights
Say you'll come back, baby
We can find our dreams down in Abilene
I've been feelin' like one lone star
Lost in the midnight blue
Darlin', you're still deep in my heart
And there's nothin' I won't do
But I can't go back to Texas without you
I've been feelin' like one lone star
Lost in the midnight blue
Darlin', you're still deep in my heart
And there's nothin' I won't do
But I can't go back to Texas
But I can't go back to Texas without you
I can't go back to Texas

Bad Night at the Whiskey
Pushed me off the street today
The light in my eyes gets in the way
Of the darkness you pushed me in
You say that it's a sin we're hanging around
You told me not to sing today
You say my music gets in the way
'Cause it walks on in
Just as you begin bringing my soul brothers down
And although you're smiling
Your hate will not cease
So just face yourself babe
And leave my soul in peace
Well, I'll stay out of your way
If you keep out of mine
If I only could let the evil go
Oh, you know we'll both go down in fire

Bag Full of Money
Floating, I'm floating on down through the sky
Never had no ambition to learn how to fly
I'll be glad when it's over and ready to land
With this bag full of money I've got in my hand
Oh, I grew up believing in Jesse and Frank
'Cause I never had nothin' or none to thank
And I came pretty close to unloadin' a bank
But I was saved by my draft board who made me a yank
Floating, I'm floating on down through the sky
Never had no ambition to learn how to fly
I'll be glad when it's over and ready to land
With this bag full of money I've got in my hand
And in the 101st they busted your hump
But they taught me a man isn't always a chump
In the course of Korea I learned how to jump
In the card game of life I was holding a trump
Floating, I'm floating on down through the sky
Never had no ambition to learn how to fly
I'll be glad when it's over and ready to land
With this bag full of money I've got in my hand
If you can't get a job and they think you're insane
If the years of your youth have been washed down the drain
And you wake up some mornin' with nothin' but pain
It was then I decided to grab me a plane
Floating, I'm floating on down through the sky
Never had no ambition to learn how to fly
I'll be glad when it's over and ready to land
With this bag full of money I've got in my hand
With all of my training it wasn't too tough
Now I'm through taking orders and all of their guff
Gonna buy a Rolls Royce and some luxury stuff
'Cause a veteran's pension ain't nearly enough
Floating, I'm floating on down through the sky
Never had no ambition to learn how to fly
I'll be glad when it's over and ready to land
With this bag full of money I've got in my hand

Never had no ambition to learn how to fly
I'll be glad when it's over and ready to land
With this bag full of money I've got in my hand
Oh, I grew up believing in Jesse and Frank
'Cause I never had nothin' or none to thank
And I came pretty close to unloadin' a bank
But I was saved by my draft board who made me a yank
Floating, I'm floating on down through the sky
Never had no ambition to learn how to fly
I'll be glad when it's over and ready to land
With this bag full of money I've got in my hand
And in the 101st they busted your hump
But they taught me a man isn't always a chump
In the course of Korea I learned how to jump
In the card game of life I was holding a trump
Floating, I'm floating on down through the sky
Never had no ambition to learn how to fly
I'll be glad when it's over and ready to land
With this bag full of money I've got in my hand
If you can't get a job and they think you're insane
If the years of your youth have been washed down the drain
And you wake up some mornin' with nothin' but pain
It was then I decided to grab me a plane
Floating, I'm floating on down through the sky
Never had no ambition to learn how to fly
I'll be glad when it's over and ready to land
With this bag full of money I've got in my hand
With all of my training it wasn't too tough
Now I'm through taking orders and all of their guff
Gonna buy a Rolls Royce and some luxury stuff
'Cause a veteran's pension ain't nearly enough

Ballad of Easy Rider
The river flows it flows to the sea
Wherever that river goes that's where I want to be
Flow river flow let your waters wash down
Take me from this road to some other town
All he wanted was to be free
And that's the way it turned out to be
Flow river flow let your waters wash down
Take me from this road to some other town
Flow river flow past the shaded tree
Go river go go to the sea
Flow to the sea
The river flows it flows to the sea
Wherever that river goes that's where I want to be
Flow river flow let your waters wash down
Take me from this road to some other town

Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea
I don't want you but I hate to lose you
You got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea
I forgive you 'cause I can't forget you
You've got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea
I want to cross you off my list
When you come a-knocking at my door
Fate seems to give my heart a twist
And I come running back for more
I should hate you but I guess, I love you
You've got me in between the devil and the deep blue sea
I want to cross you off my list
But every time you come back knocking at my door
Fate seems to give my heart a twist
And I come crawling back for more
I still should hate you but I guess, I gotta love you
You got me sort of hung up between
The devil and the deep blue sea
Devil and the deep blue sea
Devil and the deep blue sea, yeah

Big Love
You need a man to get lost in
With a heart big enough to roam
No more fences for you to look through
With your heart caught in a strangle hold
I've got a love full of wide open spaces
I've got a big love, wild and free
Room to grow as big as your dreams
Deep as a river in a ragin' flood
As endless as the stars above
I've got a big love
When two hearts make a stand together
On the solid rock of trust
They could be a million miles from each other
And still be side by side in love
I want to love you like that forever
I've got a big love, wild and free
Room to grow as big as your dreams
Deep as a river in a ragin' flood
As endless as the stars above
I've got a big love
You never dreamed
You could have all you ever wanted
Darlin', you can have it all with me
I've got a big love, wild and free
Room to grow as big as your dreams
Deep as a river in a ragin' flood
As endless as the stars above
I've got a big love, I've got a big love
I've got a big love, I've got a big love

Bim Bom
Give him hope
Give him progress
Give him time
Sell him communion
Dream angels telepathy
It's an item of appropriate backing
Regardless of enemies
Things are fine beneath your zodiac sign
The dancing monsters
Have all gone home to bed
To find their secret hideaways
If this is the reason
That I have no recall
That each man have his fuss
It's not a thing
You think you can run
But you know you must fall
Ever spiraling down
Afraid forever
It fazes me slightly
It dazes me nightly
But these things won't hurt me
And I feel like a completely different person

Blue Canadian Rockies
In the blue Canadian Rockies
Spring is silent through the trees
And the golden poppies are blooming
'Round the banks of Lake Louise
Now, oh, how my lonely heart is aching tonight
For that girl I left behind
And, oh, what I'd give if I could be there tonight
With the sweetheart who's waitin' for me
In the blue Canadian Rockies
Spring is silent through the trees
And the golden poppies are blooming
'Round the banks of Lake Louise
Across the sea they call me
And on and on a love so true
For the blue canadian rockies
And the one I love to see
And the one I love to see

Born to Rock 'N' Roll
Some people born in old Kentucky
They think they're living in a tunnel mine of coal
Other people born not quite so lucky
Giving everything by selling out their soul
Believe that everybody's born for something
Just to feed them and to keep them from the cold
Sometimes you get to do the things you're meant to
And I know that I was born to rock 'n' roll
Born to rock 'n' roll to satisfy your soul
I'm gonna rock 'n' roll to satisfy your soul
Guess I'm, I'm gonna rock 'n' roll to satisfy your soul

Just to steer the hook and ladder from behind
Then I thought I'd be a great inventor
But I found it might be too hard on my mind
Oh, I knew that, I know that everybody's born for something
Baby, [Incomprehensible] just to feed them and to keep them
It's all in the cards you hold, yes, I said I believe in magic

Boston
Spoke to my girl on the phone today
She said she wish I'd come there right away
In Boston Massachusetts where she lives
Got to get there for the love she gives
Catch a plane and soon I will be gone
And I'll be in her arms before too long
In Boston Massachusetts she'll be there
And we'll be together everywhere
You see, I'm leaving 'cause I'm sad
Got a girl and I want to see her bad
You see I'm not leaving 'cause of you
I just can't stand to sit here feeling blue
Can't go on when I don't like this town
I feel so bad not having her around
In Boston Massachusetts where she lives
Got to get there for the love she gives

Butter and Egg Man
Now she wants a butter & egg man
From way out in the West
She wants somebody who's workin' all day
So she's got money when she wants to play
Now pretty clothes, they'll never be mine
But what she told me the other day
I hope she don't change her mind
Now she wants a butter & egg man
A great big butter & egg man
From way down South

Byrd Call
Yo, JR, they've been waitin' for you, dawg
They've been askin'
You ready? You up, motherfucker, DipSet, let's go
Writer
To all my hustlers, rock smugglers, strugglers
Block bubblers, pushers, cookers, pot jugglers
What's the word, y'all?Flip that herb raw
Clap, that's the byrd call
If the cops are comin', get to hop and runnin'
Quick and drop that onion, ain't no stoppin' young'n
Put away that herb raw, let us know the word or
Clap, that's the byrd call
I still be where the weed flip, in the P's wit the trees lit
So much water in the order, it's just leavin' 'em seasick
Wit a ski in my V6, tryin' to skeet on a B lips
Down low, like I'm tryin' to keep her a secret
Acura on chrome, passin' me dome
Next minute, shit, I'm finished, she'll be flaggin' it home
But I always keep a straggler that's known to bone
And run through a lap, faster than Marion Jones
Man, listen, I still got the grams flippin'
Tan pitchin', corner to the damn kitchen
Gained a couple fans, had to make a transition
But I'm still in the hood like your transmission
No cat could match me, I'm passin' fastly, who's half as nasty
I got it locked from here, all the way to Cakalakie
But keep a mac for scrappies thinkin' it's just Laffy Taffy
Shit, this beat'll be the only thing clappin' at me
To all my hustlers, rock smugglers, strugglers
Block bubblers, pushers, cookers, pot jugglers
What's the word, y'all?Flip that herb raw

Put away that herb raw, let us know the word or
Clap, that's the byrd call
Damn, homey, in high school, you was the man, homey
That's what a fan told me, shit
Same old cat, get his Kangol clapped
Brains blown back, dissin' dame, dame don't rap
Shame on black, the game's so whack
Dame search for children from in front of ya buildin'
Right to a hundred million
Go ahead, pimpin', pimpin', go ahead, act up doggy
Getcha limp on pimpin', if they actin' froggy
Tell 'em, back up off me, I come down, clap the 40
Child, that's a badder story, I'm not in my category
Mess around, dame held Def Jam down
So pardon my back, jackin' any left hand pounds
Redneck found, tech, tech pound, duck, duck goose
Pump, pump shoot, shoot, let's get down, down
It may seem petty, but we all turn mean deadly
For green fetti, my whole team ready
To all my hustlers, rock smugglers, strugglers
Block bubblers, pushers, cookers, pot jugglers
What's the word, y'all?Flip that herb raw
Clap, that's the byrd call
If the cops are comin', get to hop and runnin'
Quick and drop that onion, ain't no stoppin' young'n
Put away that herb raw, let us know the word or
Clap, that's the byrd call
This ain't only bars and tracks, this is for the hardest cats
Flippin' all the hard and back, make 'em catch a heart attack
When you see the narcs attack, let me know, start to clap
Clap, clap
A star with a deal, Chapar be on chill
The car is DeVille, it's real ill, pardon the grill
It's foreign my nills, cruise the city with the semi
All silly on skinnies, like I'm starvin' my wheels, uh

Byrd Joel
My baby sleeps in blue
Warm and naked, pale and pretty
I feel the seventh wave
Of the ocean in the motion
I feel a brand new sickness
Coming over me like a storm
Used to feel so good beside her
There next to her my arm around her
She fell like flowers
Petals were carried out on my old wind
Landed down in the center
Of this lonely white grip of winter
She brought these gifts of love
I carried down in my pocket
I set them on my shelves
And on the nightstand by my bed
She sleeps and won't come back again
From pretty dreams that keep her
My baby won't come back again
I feel so lost without her
I hear your magic voice
On the analogue of this machine
I hear the smoothest talk
With the coolest transparent star field
Will there be any danger
If our talk is under this roof?
And can you know a stranger
So quickly under this moon?
So go away, come back again
I'll shut you out, I'll pull you in
Don't go away, come back again
I feel so lost
She sleeps in royal blue
And room down past the big dry desert
The sense of music there
And hope reaches you
And gets you past the motions
Ofgoodbyes [Incomprehensible]
And pulls the deepest winter
Out of this lonely white crippled winter
She sleeps and won't come back again
From pretty dreams that keep her
My baby won't come back again
I am so lost without her
So go away, come back again
I shut you out, I pull you in
Don't go away, come back again
I feel so lost

Can't Have One Without the Other
Used to think that love would be so simple
Just happy ever after one another
Sometimes it's hot to trot
And sometimes it's the old cold shoulder
Oh, you can't have one without the other, brother
No, you can't have one without the other
Sometimes you'll think she's sent from heaven
A best friend, confidante and lover
Oh, there are times that little angel
She ain't nothin' but a devil woman
Oh, you can't have one without the other, brother
No, you can't have one without the other
She can be such a good girl
But, she can be so bad
Put you on top of the world, cut you down so fast
Sometimes she's my baby, sometimes she's a mother
Oh, you can't have one without the other, brother
No, you can't have one without the other
I wouldn't take a million dollars for her
Or pay a single dime for ten more of her
I guess there's a heads and tails
To every lucky silver dollar
Oh, you can't have one without the other, brother
No, you can't have one without the other
Oh, she can make the time fly
She can be a drag
Put you on cloud nine turn to rain so fast
Sometimes she's my baby, sometimes she's a mother
Oh, you can't have one without the other, brother
No, you can't have one without the other
You can't have one without the other, brother
No, you can't have one without the other

Candy
Written by roger mcguinn and john york
Drifted in school, daddy's a fool
We know someone's on your mind
Women whose phase??(face?), velvet and lace
Curling couplets into time and space
Meet the man who needs you now
Can you give your love away like candy?
Down on your knees, trimming the trees
Can you imagine what it's like
Lovers lament, general dissent
Doctor's orders are unkind, and bent
Meet the man who needs you now
Can you give your love away like candy?
Very profound, merry-go-round
Spinning innocence and dreams
Can you believe, all you perceive
Love is never what it seemed to be
Meet the man who needs you now
Can you give your love away like candy?

Cavatina
She was beautiful
Beautiful to my eyes
From the moment I saw her
The sun filled the sky
She was so, so beautiful
Beautiful just to hold
In my dreams she was spring time
Winter was cold
How could I tell her
What I so clearly could see?
Though I longed for her
I never trusted her completely
So I never could be free
It was so, so beautiful
Knowing now that she cared
I will always remember
Moments that we shared
For it was beautiful, beautiful
Beautiful to be loved

Changing Heart
You can tell a changing heart
Their face a smile and yet there is no joy
They look for wealth no matter what the cost
You're someone else that they might just destroy
So many people gather 'round
A thousand voices lift their praise
For you have reached the top
So they give you all they got
But when you're singing from the soul
They fail to see your final goal
They only tell you that
You have a long ways left to go
So you rhyme the changing rhyme
With one wheel spinning and one on the ground
Then falling victim to the game of time
You place your name out in the lost and the found
So many people gather 'round
A thousand voices lift their praise
For you have reached the top
So they give you all they got
But when you're singing from the soul
They fail to see your final goal
They only tell you that
You have a long ways left to go
So many people gather 'round
A thousand voices lift their praise
For you have reached the top
So they give you all they got
But when you're singing from the soul
They fail to see your final goal

Chestnut Mare
Always alone, never with a herd
Prettiest mare I've ever seen
You'll have to take my word
I'm going to catch that horse if I can
And when I do I'll give her my brand
Well I was up on stony ridge after this chestnut mare
Been chasin' her for weeks
Oh I'd catch a glimpse of her every once in a while
Takin' her meal, bathin', a fine lady
This one day I happened to be real close to her
I saw her standin' over there
So I snuck up on her nice and easy
I got my rope out and I flung it in the air
I'm going to catch that horse if I can
And when I do I'll give her my brand
And we'll be friends for life, she'll be just like a wife
I'm going to catch that horse if I can
And I got her and I'm pullin' on her
And she's pullin' back like this mule goin' up a ladder
And I take a choice and I jump right up on her
Damned if I don't land right on top of her
And she takes off, runnin' up on to the ridge
Higher than I've ever been before
She's runnin' along just fine, till she stops something spooked her
It's a sidewinder, all coiled and ready to strike
She doesn't know what to do for a second
But then she jumps off the edge, me holding on
Above the humes higher than eagles were gliding
Suspended in the sky
Over the moon straight for the sun we were riding
My eyes were filled with light
Behind us black walls below us a bottomless canyon
Floating with no sound
Gulls far below seemed to be suddenly rising
Exploding all around
I'm going to catch that horse if I can
And when I do I'll give her my brand
And we'll be friends for life, she'll be just like a wife
I'm going to catch that horse if I can
And we were falling down this crevice, about a mile down I'd say
I look down and I see this red thing below us
Comin' up real fast and it's our reflection, it's a little pool of water
About six feet wide and one foot deep
And we're crawling down right through it
We hit and we splashed it dry
That's when I lost my hold and she got away
But I'm gonna try to get her again some day
I'm going to catch that horse if I can
And when I do I'll give her my brand
And we'll be friends for life, she'll be just like a wife
I'm going to catch that horse
I'm going to catch that horse
I'm going to catch that horse if I can
I'm going to catch that horse if I can

Child of the Universe
Love for anyone who needs her
Innocence is all that feeds her
Rolling through the mist
Floating in a sea of madness
Reaching for the heights of gladness
Or did she exist?
Swirling ions from the stars
Streaming down onto the earth
From a galaxy like ours
Manifested in her birth
Child of the Universe
Giving freely of herself
Purity of truth rehearse
Leaving man her cosmic well
Love for anyone who needs her
Innocence is all that feeds her
Rolling through the mist
Floating in a sea of madness
Reaching for the heights of gladness
Or did she exist?
Vision of an untouched grace
Walking gaily through the sun
No one else could take her place
Nor the work that she'd begun
Love for anyone who needs her
Innocence is all that feeds her
Rolling through the mist
Knowing what is understanding
Patience that is undemanding
Or did she exist?
Or did she exist?
Or did she exist?

Chimes Of Freedom
Far between sundown's finish an' midnight's broken toll
We ducked inside the doorway, thunder crashing
As majestic bells of bolts struck shadows in the sounds
Seeming to be the chimes of freedom flashing
Flashing for the warriors whose strength is not to fight
Flashing for the refugees on the unarmed road of flight
An' for each and ev'ry underdog soldier in the night
An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
Even though a cloud's white curtain in a far-off corner flashed
And the hypnotic splattered mist was slowly lifting
Electric light still struck like arrows, fired but for the ones
Condemned to drift for else we kept from drifting
Tolling for the searching ones, on their speechless, seeking trail
For the lonesome-hearted lovers with too personal a tale
An' for each unharmful, gentle soul misplaced inside a jail
An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
Dee-dee-dee ....
Starry-eyed an' laughing as I recall when we were caught
Trapped by no track of hours for they hanged suspended
As we listened one last time an' we watched with one last look
Spellbound and swallowed 'til the tolling ended
Tolling for the aching ones whose wounds cannot be nursed
For the countless confused, accused, misused, strung-out ones an' worse
An' for every hung-up person in the whole wide universe
An' we gazed upon the chimes of freedom flashing
Dee-dee-dee ....

Corcovado
Um cantinho, um violão
Esse amor, uma canção
Pra fazer feliz a quem se ama
Muita calma pra pensar
E ter tempo pra sonhar
Da janela vê-se o Corcovado
O Redentor, que lindo!
Quero a vida sempre assim
Com você perto de mim
Até o apagar da velha chama
E eu que era triste
Descrente deste mundo
Ao encontrar você eu conheci
O que é felicidade
Meu amor

Cowgirl
Well, my car broke down outside of town,
Up ahead I saw a farm
Some white-faced heifers chewing on that cud
Thought cows can't do no harm
Lackin' better sense I jumped the fence
And went crashin' through the corn
From the corner of my eye, I wondered why
One of them cows had horns
Well, he seemed to be approachin' me
At quite a rapid pace
Does he want me to pet him
Or does he just want to race?
Next thing I knew, this sky's so blue
And I'm up above the trees
And I'm face down layin' on the ground
Starin' up at somebody's knees
And I said, "With calves like that, you gotta be a cowgirl
They don't make calves like that in town"
She had a big ol' hat and big blue eyes and blond curls
"With calves like that, you gotta be a cowgirl"
Now I'm her man and she's my girl
And we're livin' on the farm
We spend all day makin' hay
Out behind the barn
Well, our little boy wants to grow up
And be exactly just like me
But our little girl says
"Hey, you all, I wonder what I'll be?"
And I said, "With calves like that, you gotta be a cowgirl
They don't make calves like that in town, no, they don't"
She had a big ol' hat and big blue eyes and blond curls
"With calves like that, you gotta be a cowgirl"
"Yeah, with calves like that you gotta be a cowgirl
They don't make calves like that in town"
She had a big ol' hat and big blue eyes and blond curls
"With calves like that, you gotta be a cowgirl"

Crazy Every Time
When we heard that train comin'
Should've seen old Billy Walker run
I laughed and yelled, “Hey, Billy”
You're gonna miss all the fun
Between me and that cold water
I bet there was fifty feet of air
When I jumped, that bridge was shakin'
But me, I wasn't scared
Call me crazy but when the choice was mine
I'd pick crazy every time
Mama thought she taught me
Better safe than sorry
But I guess I’ve always been the other kind
I disregard all reason
I don't look for hidden meaning
I don't really care if it don't rhyme
Born with a rebel state of mind
I'll pick crazy every time
Between drag racin', cane raisin', girl chasin'
Bootleggin', I like my livin' on edge
But ask me what I’d change and I’ll say there's one thing
To this day I still regret
She was the best thing I had goin'
Yeah, that's what Billy always said
But no one could treat me better
Love me like she did
And all I had to do was walk that line
But I’ll pick crazy every time
Mama thought she taught me
Better safe than sorry
But I guess I’ve always been the other kind
I disregard all reason
I don't look for hidden meaning
I don't really care if it don't rhyme

Crazy Rhythm
Crazy rhythm, here's the doorway
I'll go my way, you'll go your way
Crazy rhythm, from now on, we're through
Here is where we have a showdown
I'm too high and you're too low down
Crazy rhythm, here's goodbye to you
They say that when a high brow meets a low brow
Walking along Broadway
Soon the high brow, he has no brow
Ain't it a shame and you're to blame
What's the use of our mission
You produce the same condition
Crazy rhythm, I've gone crazy too
They say that when a high brow meets a low brow
Walking along Broadway
Soon the high brow, he has no brow
Ain't it a shame and you're to blame
What's the use of prohibition
You produce the same condition

Dancing in the Street
Okay, talk to you
South America, Australia
France, Germany, UK, Africa
Calling out around the world
Are you ready for a brand new beat
Summer's here and the time is right
For dancing in the street
They're dancing in Chicago
Down in New Orleans
In New York City
All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
They'll be swinging, swaying, records playing
Dancing in the street, oh
It doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So come on, every guy, grab a girl
Everywhere, around the world
They'll be dancing, dancing in the street
It's an invitation across the nation
A chance for folks to meet
They'll be laughing and singing
And music swinging and dancing in the street
Philadelphia, PA
Baltimore in DC now
Don't forget the motor city
On the streets of Brazil
Back in the USSR
Don't matter where you are
All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
They'll be swinging, swaying, records playing
Dancing in the street, oh
It doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So come on, every guy, grab a girl
Everywhere, around the world
They'll be dancing, dancing in the streets
Way down in L.A., everyday
Dancing in the streets
'Cross in China too, me and you
Dancing in the street
Don't you know, they'll be dancing
Dancing in the street
Don't you know, dancing
Dancing in the street
Dancing

Day Walk
In your blue room, sit with a candle lit
On a charcoal bed of dreams you carry on
Though the streets are hot you can still a lot
But you can walk out and forget there isn't time to take a loan
But you're now into something that you were immune to before
And there wasn't a sign, you just fell into line at the door
And the question sands in the palms of hands
Of the wretches picking pieces of their minds up off the floor
On the mantel place, there is still a trace
Of the plastic face you hung your moments on
And the sudden scare of a landing there on the sea
That you don't care to even see when you're alone
But the day is too short and you can't find support in the sun
You had thought you'd decide to just stick out the ride as it comes
But the emptiness of a thing that's less than what it was thought to be
Has left you wondering just how much more

Days of Wine and Roses
Take me to heart and I'll always love you
And nobody can make me do wrong
Take me for granted, leaving love unsure
Makes will power weak and temptation strong
A woman's only human
This you should understand
She's not just a plaything
She's flesh and blood just like her man
So if you want a do-right-all-days woman
You got to be a do-right-all-nights man
They say this is a man's world
But you can't prove that by me
And as long as we're together
You got to show some respect for me
But if you want a do-right-all-days woman
You got to be a do-right-all-night man
A woman's only human
And this you should understand
She's not just a plaything
She's flesh and blood just like her man
So if you want a do-right-all-days woman
You got to be a do-right-all-nights man, oh yeah
You got to be a do-right-all-night man

Daytime Just Makes Me Feel Lonely
Oh, you know it makes me sad to see you feel so bad
For it happened to you many times before
But if you will come with me
Then girl you will see
That you won't have to cry any more
There's no reason to feel blue, because nobody says to you
And I will..........to see you hurt no more
I could never do you wrong cause my love for you is too strong
And you won't have to cry any more
Oh I saw you very............in your eyes
Because he told so many, many lies
Oh you know.......
To put yourself on time
Try thinking now the things we said before (we've done ? )
Just trust in loving me and girl you will see
That you won't have to cry any more

Different Things
The first thing that I reach for every morning
Is a pack of smokes layin' by my bed
Yes, I've read the surgeon general's warning
But that don't take the warning out of them
What I want and what I need
Have always been different things
The last thing mama reached for every Sunday
Was my mortal soul as she walked out the door
She'd say, “Boy, you're gonna need Him someday”
But I wanted to sleep off the night before
What I want and what I need
Have always been different things
What I want is to give up
Just let go and walk out on us
But what I need is to see this through
Oh, and find a way back to you
The last thing that I reach for every evening
Is a woman who I can't reach anymore
Time has worn the new off of the feeling
And right now I want to just walk out the door
But what I want and what I need
Have always been different things
What I want and what I need
Have always been different things

Dolphin's Smile
Out at sea for a year
Floating free from all fear
Every day blowin' spray
In a dolphin's smile
Wind-taut line split the sky
Curlin' crest rollin' by

In a dolphin's smile
Rainbow's end everywhere
Full of life, free as air
Childhood's dream, have you ever seen
A dolphin's smile?

Let your feet stand up

Don't Explain
Hush now, don't explain
You're the cause of all my trouble and pain
Unless you're mine don't explain
My love, my love, my love don't explain
There is nothing with me not to gain
You know that I love you
Look at what lovin' has done
All my thoughts were real and so sincere
I was so completely yours
You know, I hear folks cha-cha-chatter
And I know you cheat
Right or wrong right now doesn't matter
You're here with me, sit down, have a seat
It's your time to feel the pain
It's your time to reel, don't explain
Hush now, don't explain
There is nothing with me now to gain
I'm gonna skip [Incomprehensible]

Don't Love Make a Diamond Shine
Tommy and Janey barely eighteen
Holdin' hands at the jewelry store
Eyes open wide starin' inside
At the ring that they wanted for her
Mister bring it closer, mister can we hold it?
I think it's gonna fit just fine
As he slipped it on her hand, Janey kissed her man
Don't love make a diamond shine
Don't love make a diamond shine
It don't matter if it costs a dime
Dang thing looks like a million bucks
Sittin' on my hand of a girl in love
A perfect fifteen carat is duller than dirt if the heart don't wear it
With three little words it'll knock you blind
Don't love make a diamond shine
There's a rich lady with a new Mercedes
Livin' up in a high rise
She's got a big ol' rock on her left hand
That looks cheaper than a Cracker Jack prize
'Cause her man don't know that it ain't the dough
You know all he needs to spend is time
And that big marquis'd be a laser beam
Don't love make a diamond shine
Don't love make a diamond shine
It don't matter if it costs a dime
Dang thing looks like a million bucks
Sittin' on my hand of a girl in love
A perfect fifteen carat is duller than dirt if the heart don't wear it
With three little words it'll knock you blind

Don't Make Waves
If you're looking to get a good thing going for yourself
House and pool, a new Rolls Royce and some degree of wealth
Don't make waves, don't make waves, don't make waves
Take a ride out West to find that freedom that you crave
Kick that nine to five, don't let them make you a slave
Don't make waves, don't make waves, don't makes waves
And when the toys that you dreamed of have finally come
They all will break and you're back where you started from
Now that blue is calling you with days and nights so warm
You can find excitement any size, shape or form
Don't make waves, don't make waves, don't make waves
Don't make waves, don't make waves, don't make waves
Don't make waves, don't make waves, don't make waves
Don't make waves, don't make waves, don't make waves

Don't Need That Heartache
I hate to say it heart, I told you so
You wouldn't listen you just had to go
And take her back again
Knowing you couldn't win
She's put you through all this before
An' you don't need that heartache anymore
I feel the hurt that's inside of you
I've seen all the things she's put you through
Now you're alone in ache
She's finally made you break
Your troubles just walked out the door
An' you don't need that heartache anymore
Maybe in a while you'll feel better
Try real hard to forget her
She ain't worth your teardrops or walking the floor
It's gonna take time but I know you'll do it
Come on heart you can get through it
You don't need that heartache anymore
Maybe in a while you'll feel better
Try real hard to forget her
She ain't worth your teardrops or walking the floor

Each time i try to think
Let me tell you now friend
Don't take her she's all i've got
Please don't take her love away from me
I'm beggin' you friend
Don't take her she's all i've got
She's everything in life i'll ever need
She's my fingers when i want to feel
She's the only thing in life to me that's really real
She is love she's all the love i know
She could kiss the ground in wintertime
And make a flower grow
Let me tell you now friend
Don't take her she's all i've got
Please don't take her love away from me
I'm beggin' you friend
Don't take her she's all i've got
She's everything in life i'll ever need
Let me tell you now friend
Don't take her she's all i've got
Well i said friend
Don't take her she's all i've got
I'm beggin' you friend
Don't take her she's all i've got

Down on the Bottom
I can't say looking back right now just where our love went wrong
But the hard cold fact is she's not here she's gone
Made me a promise she'd be true till the rivers all ran dry
The rivers still runnin' but she's long said goodbye
That's why I'm down on the bottom
Where the Moccasin's King and the big tall Cypress grow
Seems the only place that a country boy can find some peace of mind
And get back up, is on the bottom
Got friends in the world outside but none quite like ol' Cajun Joe
He lives down a slough where the river used to flow
Worked real hard most of his life till the pushin' came to shove
Gave it all he had but he just couldn't rise above
That's why he's down on the bottom
Where the alligator swims and the old grey moss hangs low
Seems the only place that a country boy can find some piece of mind
And get back up, is on the bottom
I can get back up here on the bottom
On the Natchez river bottom

Drinkin' Bone
Well it's Friday evenin' six O'clock
And all my friends are twistin' off
I'm at the house just turnin' on TV
And they all wonder why I've changed
How many times must I explain
It's basic honky tonk anatomy
The drinkin' bone's connected to the party bone
The party bone's connected to the stayin' out all night long
And she won't think it's funny and I'll wind up all alone
And the lonely bone's connected to the drinkin' bone
Hey two plus two is always four
And down is south and up is north
And thirty-two degrees is freezing cold
You play with fire you end up burned
The early-bird gets the worm
But the only thing you really need to know

Driving Me Out Of Your Mind
(mark nesler)
He's driving me out of your mind
You're goin' crazy over him i see the signs
He won't leave you alone he's with you all the time
Driving me out of your mind
Can't he see that you still haven't gotten over me
And you're just not in the mood for company
Is he really fool enough to think he has a chance
Buyin' one red rose and asking you to dance
He's driving me out of your mind
You're goin' crazy over him i see the signs
He won't leave you alone he's with you all the time
Driving me out of your mind
A broken heart like yours can't possibly mend overnight
So why's he out there holding you so tight
Thought i'd have all the time i need to make up for my wrongs
Someone tell me what the hell is going on
He's driving me out of your mind
You're goin' crazy over him i see the signs
He won't leave you alone he's with you all the time
Driving me out of your mind
He won't leave you alone he's with you all the time
Driving me out of your mind
Driving me out of your mind

Easy Living
Living for you is easy living
It's easy to live when you're in love
And I'm so in love
There's nothing in life but you
I'll never regret the things I'm giving
They're easy to give when you're in love
I'm happy to do whatever I do for you
For you maybe I'm a fool, but it's fun
People say you rule me with one wave of your hand
Darling, it's grand, they just don't understand
Living for you is easy living
It's easy to live when you're in love
And I'm so in love

Easy to Love
You'd be so easy to love
So easy to idolize all others above
So worth the yearning for
So swell to keep every home fire burning for
And we'd be so grand at the game

That you can't see your future with me
'Cause you'd be, oh so easy to love
You'd be so easy to love
So easy to idolize all others above

Edge of a Memory
All at once here I am in this barroom
Oh and most any night I'd be home
But those old thoughts of her are beginning to stir
I need to be anywhere but alone
When you close you can call me a taxi
Until then you can call me a fool
So just bring me a glass and don't bring up the past
If you did I don't know what I'd do
I'm right on the edge of a memory
Lord knows I don't wanna fall
'Cause it tells me she'll always be gone
And reminds me where I went wrong
Yeah, I'm right on the edge of a memory
And just hanging on
So bartender just keep 'em coming
Till she and I go out of my mind
Tonight I refuse to take on the blues
I'll just put off the truth till closing time
I'm right on the edge of a memory
Lord knows I don't wanna fall
'Cause it tells me she'll always be gone
And reminds me where I went wrong
Yeah, I'm right on the edge of a memory
And just hanging on

Eight Miles High
Eight miles high and when you touch down
You'll find that it's stranger than known
Signs in the street that say where you're going
Are somewhere just being their own
Nowhere is there warmth to be found
Among those afraid of losing their ground
Rain gray town known for its sound
In places small faces unbound
Round the squares huddled in storms
Some laughing some just shapeless forms
Sidewalk scenes and black limousines
Some living some standing alone

Eve Of Destruction
The eastern world;
It is explodin'.
Violence flarin';
Bullets loadin'.
You're old enough to kill,
But not for votin'.
You don't believe in war,
But what's that gun you're totin'?
And even the Jordan River
Has bodies floatin',
But ya tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend,
Ah, you don't believe
We're on the eve of destruction
And don't you understand
What I'm tryin' to say
And can't you feel the fears
That I'm feelin' today?
If the button is pushed,
There's no runnin' away.
There'll be no one to save
With the world in a grave.
Take a look around you, boy.
It's bound to scare you, boy
And ya tell me
Over and over and over again, my friend,
Ah, you don't believe
We're on the eve of destruction
But think of all the hate
There is in red China.
Then take a look around
To Selma, Alabama.
You may leave here
For four days in space,
But when you return
It's the same old place.
The poundin' of the drums,
The pride and disgrace.
You can bury your dead,
But don't leave a trace.
Hate your next door neighbor,
But don't forget to say grace
And tell me
Over and over and over and over again, my friend,
You don't believe
We're on the eve of destruction.
Ah, no, no, you don't believe
We're on the eve of destruction.

Every Time I Do
Whenever I go out
Anywhere in town
I look for a crowd
Where you're not hangin' 'round
Say that I won't give
Your memory any room
But every time I do
Just when I think I can
Take another's hand
Get on with my life
Won't look back again
Promise I won't keep
Comparin' them to you
But every time I do
Every time I do, I wish I didn't
Try to tell myself, but I just don't listen
It's a fool who just goes on missin'
What he can't have back, he never learns his lesson
I say I'll forget her, oh, but I know better
Don't I know by now we don't belong together?
Shouldn't get the blues when I think of you
But every time I do
When I'm drivin' home
You'd think that I'd have learned
Keep both hands on the wheel
Don't even make that turn
Swear that I won't go
Down Maple Avenue
But every time I do
Every time I do, I wish I didn't
Try to tell myself, but I just don't listen
It's a fool who just goes on missin'
What he can't have back he never learns his lesson
I say I'll forget her oh, but I know better
Don't I know by now we don't belong together?

Everybody's Been Burned
Everybody has been burned before
Everybody knows the pain
Anyone in this place
Can tell you to your face
Why you shouldn't try to love someone
Everybody knows it never works
Everybody knows and me
I know that door that shuts
Just before you get to the dream
You see
I know all too well
How to turn, how to run
How to hide behind, a bitter wall of blue
But you die inside if you choose to hide
So I guess instead, I'll love you

For Free
Written by joni mitchell
I slept last night in a good hotel
I went shopping today for jewels
The wind rushed around the dirty room
And the children let out from their schools
I was standing on a noisy corner
Waiting for the walking green
Across the street he stood
And he played real good
On his clarinet, for free
Now me i play for fortune
And those velvet curtain calls
I've got a black limousine
And two ladies
Escorting me to the halls
And i play if you have the money
Or if you're a friend to me
But the one man band
By the quick lunch stand
He was playing real good, for free
Nobody stopped to hear him
Though he played so sweet and high
They knew he had never
Been on the tv screen
So they passed his music by
I meant to go over and ask for a song
Maybe put on a harmony
I heard his refrain
As the signal changed
He was still playing real good, for free

For Me Again
The moon can light the sky at night for me again
The sun can make the daytime bright and fun again
And my heart can be free the way it wants to be
'Cause you come back to me again
The wind blows pain and clouds of rain away again
And lets me stay with just a happy day again
'Cause now I really see how much you do love me
How good the world can be again
Oh, when you left that day I forgot how to care
And I hid myself away but now since you are here
Winter days will seem like spring to me again
With all the love that you will bring to me again
No matter what I'll do, I will always see it through
'Cause I won't be without you again

For Me It's You
Everybody has a gift that's given to them
When they come into this life
Something they can do better than others
And never really have to try
For the longest time I didn't know what I was born to do
But the moment that I took you in my arms
And held you close to me I knew
For me it's you, just comes naturally
Nobody in the whole wide world can love you as good as me
I don't know why? But it's so easy to do
Guess the Lord has a way of blessing us all and for me it's you
Some can take a brush and make
Colors and canvas a work of art
While some can swing a bat and knock a little white ball
Clear out of the park
And I can't help but notice when one does what they do best
They give it all they've got and love it
With all of their heart and nothing less
For me it's you, just comes naturally
Nobody in the whole wide world can love you as good as me
I don't know why? But it's so easy to do
Guess the Lord has a way of blessing us all and for me it's you

Nobody in the whole wide world can love you as good as me
I don't know why? But it's so easy to do
Guess the Lord has a way of blessing us all and for me it's you
Some can take a brush and make
Colors and canvas a work of art
While some can swing a bat and knock a little white ball
Clear out of the park
And I can't help but notice when one does what they do best
They give it all they've got and love it
With all of their heart and nothing less
For me it's you, just comes naturally
Nobody in the whole wide world can love you as good as me
I don't know why? But it's so easy to do
Guess the Lord has a way of blessing us all and for me it's you
Guess the Lord has a way of blessing us all
And for me it's you

For Me It's You
(mark nesler/tony martin)
Everybody has a gift that's given to them when they come into this life
Something they can do better than others and never really have to try
For the longest time i didn't know what i was born to do
But the moment that i took you in my arms and held you close to me i knew
For me it's you
Just comes naturally
Nobody in the whole wide world
Can love you as good as me
I don't know why
But it's so easy to do
Guess the lord has a way of blessing us all
And for me it's you
Some can take a brush and make colors and canvas a work of art
While some can swing a bat and knock a little white ball clear out of the park
And i can't help but notice when one does what they do best
They give it all they've got and love it with all of their heart and nothing less
For me it's you
It just comes naturally
Nobody in the whole wide world
Can love you good as me
I don't know why
It's so easy to do
Guess the lord has a way of blessing us all
And for me it's you
Guess the lord has a way of blessing us all
And for me it's you

From a Distance
From a distance the world looks blue and green
And the snow-capped mountains white
From a distance the ocean meets the stream
And the eagle takes to flight
From a distance there is harmony
And it echoes through the land
It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace
It's the voice of every man
From a distance we all have enough
And no one is in need
There are no guns, no bombs, no diseases
No hungry mouths to feed
From a distance we are instruments
Marching in a common band
Playing songs of home, playing songs of peace
They're the songs of every man
God is watching us, God is watching us
God is watching us from a distance
From a distance you look like my friend
Even though we are at war
From a distance I can't comprehend
What all this war is for
From a distance there is harmony
And it echoes through the land
It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves
It's the heart of every man
It's the hope of hopes
It's the love of loves
It's the song of every man

Full Circle
Funny how the circle turns around
First you're up and then you're down again
Though the circle takes what it may give
Each time around it makes it live again
Funny how the circle is a wheel
And it can steal someone who is a friend
Funny how the circle takes your flight
And if it's right, it brings it back again
Funny how the circle turns around
You think you're lost and then you're found again
Though you always look for what you know
Each time around it's something new again
Funny how the circle is a wheel
And it can steal someone who is a friend

Gettin' Me Over Mountains
It's an everyday battle
Just tryin' to break even
No, there ain't no gettin' ahead
When you're just gettin' by
But she's standin' on the front porch
When I get home in the evenin'
That's how I know
Everything's gonna be all right
I've crossed rivers with her kisses
Come through hard times with her soft touch
I don't know how but she makes it look easy
Gettin' me over mountains with her love
These days, I wanna give up
Declare the world a winner
When the bills and the dog gone boss
Won't cut me no slack
But when were turnin' these lights down
And I'm lyin' there with her
There ain't a rock on the road of life
I can't get past
I've crossed rivers with her kisses
Come through hard times with her soft touch
I don't know how but she makes it look easy
Gettin' me over mountains with her love
Oh, gettin' me over mountains with her love

Goin Back
I think I'm goin' back
To the things I learned so well in my youth
I think I'm returning to
Those days when I was young enough to know the truth
Now there are no games to only pass the time
No more electric trains, no more trees to climb
But thinking young and growing older is no sin
And I can play the game of life to win
I can recall a time
When I wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend
Now, I think I've got
A lot more than just my toys to lend
Now there's more to do than watch my sailboat glide
But every day can be a magic carpet ride
A little bit of courage is all we lack
So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back
Now there's more to do than watch my sailboat glide
But every day can be a magic carpet ride
A little bit of courage is all we lack
So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back

Good Ol' Fashioned Love
The kind of love that I've been lookin' for
I'm not sure they make it anymore
It's easy to fall for a pretty smile
It works real good for a while 'til the new wears off
And it starts to fall apart
I want a well-made, out-of-style, good ol' fashioned love
The kind that stays together when the going gets too tough
I don't want a new love, they just don't last long enough
I want a well-made, out-of-style, good ol' fashioned love
I know it's a rare thing now to find
But I just don't want any other kind
A love like that's worth a sacrifice
If the heart's been broken, I can fix it up
All I need is someone like me
Who wants a well-made, out-of-style, good ol' fashioned love
The kind that stays together when the going gets too tough
I don't want a new love, they just don't last long enough
I want a well-made, out-of-style, good ol' fashioned love

Hat Trick
You packed up all my clothes and put 'em by the door
Is this your way of telling me, I don't live here anymore?
You've gone and called a cab and told me where to go
Two hearts that used to be on fire have just gone up in smoke
Now I ain't no magician, can't change the way things are
I can't make you love me if it's not in the cards
I can't wave a magic wand and make you want me near
But I can do a hat trick, I'll put it on and disappear
Now I ain't gonna crawl and I won't jump through hoops
To try and make you love me like I used to do
You pulled this stunt before and I kept holding on
But this time when you close the door, look around and I'll be gone
'Cause I ain't no magician, can't change the way things are
I can't make you love me if it's not in the cards
I can't wave a magic wand and make you want me near
But I can do a hat trick, I'll put it on and disappear
So I'll just do my hat trick, I'll put it on and disappear

Have A Good One
(max d. barnes/paul craft/david kent)
Have a good one she told me as she walked away
What a fine time to tell me to have a nice day
She's gone now but the words she said still linger on and on
Have a good one, thought i had one, i guess i was wrong
She could have said i'm sorry or darlin' please don't cry
But now there's tears each time i hear that cheerful goodbye
It's over but over and over it echoes all night long
Have a good one, thought i had one, i guess i was wrong
She could have said i'm sorry or darlin' please don't cry
But now there's tears each time i hear that cheerful goodbye
It's over but over and over it echoes all night long

Have You Seen Her Face
Have you seen her face?
With her eyes reflect the colors in the sky
On one familiar place
To be swept into
Whenever she's close by
Makes me wonder why
Run by, don't turn back
Can't hide from the look in her eye
Must be the way she walks
A style made up to capture all she needs
No time to spend on this talk
If your luck runs dry
She might see you tonight
Everything inside
Run by, don't turn back
Can't hide from the look in her eye
Run by, don't turn back
Can't hide from the look in her eye
You'll find you're locked in her spell
All the sights and sounds
Your senses will be found
And only time will tell
How much love can be to wait so patiently
Wait and see
Run by, don't turn back
Can't hide from the look in her eye

Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on, our troubles will be miles away
Here we are, as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years, we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough

He Was a Friend of Mine
He was a friend of mine, he was a friend of mine
His killing had no purpose, no reason or rhyme
Oh, he was a friend of mine
He was in Dallas town, he was in Dallas town
From a sixth floor window a gunner shot him down
Oh, he died in Dallas town
He never knew my name, he never knew my name
Though I never met him I knew him just the same
Oh, he was a friend of mine
Leader of a nation for such a precious time
Oh, he was a friend of mine

Heaven In My Woman's Eyes
It's cold this time of year and the people in this city make it colder
They've all forgotten what it means to lend a hand or cry on a shoulder
In this land of opportunity we fight like hell to make an extra dime
It would surely get the best of me without the heaven in my woman's eyes
It's the heaven in my woman's eyes that make life's hell a better place to be
It's the heaven in my woman's eyes that gives the inspiration that I need
Sometimes it seems a man is born to lose no matter how hard he tries
Life on earth would sure be hell without the heaven in my woman's eyes
Simplicity was once a way of life but now it's buried with our past
A dollar used to go a long long way but now it just goes fast
Oh how I wish that I could be as free as our union eagle flies
But the only time I'm free is when I view the heaven in my woman's eyes
It's the heaven in my woman's eyes that make life's hell a better place to be
It's the heaven in my woman's eyes that gives the inspiration that I need

Oh, hello Dolly, well, hello Dolly

You're lookin' swell, Dolly, I can tell, Dolly

Here Without You
Daytime just makes me feel lonely
At night I can only dream about you
Girl, you're on my mind
Nearly all of the time
It's so hard being here without you
Words in my head keep repeating
Things that you said when I was with you
And I wonder is it true
Do you feel the same way too
It's so hard being here without you
Being here without you
Oh, I know this won't last
I'll see you someday
It seems as though that day will come never
But there's one thing I'll swear
Though you're far away
I'll be thinking about you forever
Streets that I walk on depress me
Ones that were happy when I was with you
Still with all the friends I know
And with all the things I do
It's so hard being here without you
Being here without you

Hey Joe, where you goin' with that money in your hand?
I'm gonna find my woman, she's runnin' around with some other man
I'm gonna go down town, buy me a blue steel 44
I'm gonna go down town, gonna buy me a blue steel 44
When I find my woman, she's not gonna run anymore
Hey Joe, I hear you shot your woman dead
Hey Joe, I hear you've shot your woman dead
Yes I did, you know I found them both in the same damned bed
Hey Joe, where you gonna go?
Hey Joe, where are you gonna go?
I guess I go to my favorite Mexico
I guess I go down where a man can be free
Yes, I guess I go down where a man can be free
Ain't no damned old hangman gonna put a noose around me, babe
Hey Joe, where are you goin' with that gun in your hand?
Hey Joe, where are you goin' with all of that cash?

Hickory Wind
In South Carolina, there are many tall pines
I remember the oak tree that we used to climb
But now when I'm lonesome I always pretend
That I'm gettin' the feel of hickory wind
I started out younger, had most everything
All the riches and pleasures, what else can life bring?
But it makes me feel better each time you begin
Callin' me home, hickory wind
It's a hard way to find out that trouble is real
In a far away city, with a far away feel
But it makes me feel better each time you begin
Callin' me home, hickory wind
Keeps callin' me home, hickory wind

Holdin' Heaven
I’m face to face with an angel
How’d you get those eyes so blue?
You’re a vision in white and I’ve been waitin’ all night
Just to have one dance with you
Now all my dreams are comin’ true
I’m holdin’ Heaven in my arms tonight
Everything about you is so perfectly right
I’ve never been there but I think I might
Be holdin’ Heaven in my arms tonight
I’m not sure where you came from
But I thank my lucky stars above
That I got the chance to have a dance
But one dance just ain’t enough
I think I’m fallin’ in love
I’m holdin’ Heaven in my arms tonight
Everything about you is so perfectly right
I’ve never been there but I think I might
Be holdin’ Heaven in my arms tonight
I’m holdin’ Heaven in my arms tonight

Honky Tonk Dancing Machine
I could tell she was a hot rod
When she walked in all alone
Made a pit stop at the front bar
In a puff of smoke was gone
I followed her smell of perfume
'Cause she was too far out of sight
Tried to catch up but the girl was running
One hell of a race tonight
She's a real low maintenance
Country music beat driven
Honky tonk dancin' machine
All it takes to keep her tuned up
Is boots and Wrangler jeans
She scoots about fifty times around the floor
On one shot of Jim Beam
She's a real low maintenance
Country music beat driven
Honky tonk dancin' machine
There's a girl on every corner
Watching her make the bend
Hoping he'll be the next one
To take her for a spin
She's not the kind that can be hot wired
With money or romance
Got a body built for pleasure
But all she wants to do is dance
She's a real low maintenance
Country music beat driven
Honky tonk dancin' machine
All it takes to keep her tuned up
Is boots and Wrangler jeans
She scoots about fifty times around the floor
On one shot of Jim Beam
She's a real low maintenance
Country music beat driven
Honky tonk dancin' machine
She scoots about fifty times around the floor
On one shot of Jim Beam
She's a real low maintenance

Hot Night in the Country
Two buttons on her blouse open
Along with the windows, hopin'
She might catch an evenin' breeze
Oh, yeah
Ice cube down her neck drippin'
Oh, my look where it's slippin'
Got me sweatin' like a glass of tea
It's a hot night in the country
Takin' us to an all time high
Gettin' downright sultry
And it can only get hotter tonight
The whole time that I see her
Coolin' herself by the freezer
I'm steady pickin' up steam
She sighs and that ain't helpin'
Already had me meltin'
Like a scoop of homemade ice cream
It's a hot night in the country
Takin' us to an all-time high
Gettin' downright sultry
And it can only get hotter tonight
It's a hot night in the country
Takin' us to an all-time high
Gettin' downright sultry
And it can only get hot

How Insensitive
How insensitive, I must have seemed
When she told me that she loved me
How unmoved and cold, I must have seemed
When she told me so sincerely
Why she must have asked?
Did I just turn and stare in icy silence?
What was I to say? What can you say
When a love affair is over?
How insensitive, he must have seemed
When she told me that she loved him
How unmoved and cold, he must have seemed
When she told him so sincerely
Why she must have asked?
Did he just turn and stare in icy silence?
What was she to say? What can he say
When a love affair is over?
Now she's gone away
And I'm alone with a memory of her last look
Vague and drawn and sad, I see it still
All her heartbreak in that last look
How she must have asked
Could I just turn and stare in icy silence?
What was I to do? What can one do
When a love affair is over?

How Much Does the World Weigh
I stayed up thinking late last night
Do they have a way to count the stars?
There's a lot of scientific minds
That claim to know what all the answers are
Well, if that's the case
How much does the world weigh?
Somebody's probably worked it out
You could look up what the experts say
But all you gotta do is look around
You'd be surprised who knows
Ask that woman trying to make the rent
Pay the bills and feed the kids
Six months ago their daddy walked away
Ask that man whose family stayed around
'Cause he finally put that bottle down
Now he fights that battle everyday
Hey, how much does the world weigh
The human spirit is a funny thing
How far it bends before it breaks?
And to keep the world from caving in
How much strength does it take?
Well, don't ask me
Ask that couple in the waiting room
The doctors say it's still too soon
It's their little girl and all they can do is pray
Ask that little boy whose gotta choose
Mom or dad, either way he'll lose
They're breaking up and he thinks he's to blame
Hey, how much does the world weigh?
Ask that Man hanging on the cross
His last breath will save the lost
The answer's in the tears on His face
Hey, how much does the world weigh?
How much does the world weigh?
How much does the world weigh?

How'd I Wind Up in Jamaica
Sign said, 'Cold beer' so I pulled in there
Pulled up a chair to have just one
Now my head hurts I got this sun burn
Oh what on earth have I done
How'd I wind up in Jamaica?
Washed up like some lost cast away
How did one round of beer lead to me laying here
On this bed of sand in Montego bay
Hey don't I know you, ain't you the girl who
I was talking to, back at the bar?
Your dress was light green and I had on blue jeans
Tell me what's it mean, when we don't know where they are
How'd I wind up in Jamaica?
Was it your wild hair or was it mine?
Oh I barely remember, you cussing December
As you passed me that salt and the lime, ring a bell
It's been a year now we're still here now
All settled down, might not go back again
Like a couple of beach bums, we hardly work much
Still ask each other every now and then
How'd we wind up in Jamaica?
Was it your wild hair or was it mine
Oh who cares it don't matter we're happy ever after
Now pass me that salt and the lime
Got it made here in Jamaica
I wouldn't have it any other way
And to this day it ain't clear all I know is we're here
On this bed of sand in Montego bay

And to this day it ain't clear all I know is we're here
On this bed of sand in Montego bay

How'd I Wind Up In Jamaica
Sign said cold beer, I pulled in there
Pulled up a chair, to have just one
Now my head hurts, got this sun burn
Oh what on earth, have I done
How'd I wind up in Jamaica
Washed up like some lost cast away
How did one round of beer lead to me laying here
On this bed of sand in Montego Bay
Don't I know you, ain't you the girl who
I was talking to, back at the bar
Your dress was light green and I had on blue jeans
Tell me what's it mean, when we don't know where we are
How'd I wind up in Jamaica
Was it your wild hair or was it mine
Oh I barely remember, you cussing December
As you passed me that salt and the lime
It's been a year now, we're still here now
All settled down, might not go back again
Like a couple of beach bums, we hardly work much
Still ask each other every now and then
How'd we wind up in Jamaica
Was it your wild hair or was it mine
Oh who cares it don't matter we're happy ever after
Now pass me that salt and the lime
Got it made here in Jamaica
Wouldn't have it any other way
To this day it ain't clear all I know is we're here
On this bed of sand in Montego Bay

Hungry Planet
Written by skip battin, kim fowley, and roger mcguinn
I'm a hungry planet
I had a youthful face
They were in a hurry
To go to outer space
They needed bombs and tungsten
Ore and iron too
So they climbed and they dug and they blew
Divided me right in two
I'm a hungry planet
Orbiting in the sky
The things they did to hurt me
Pass on by and by
Now here i am all alone
They never ever learn
Well i had to shake and quake
And make their houses burn
I'm a hungry planet
I had the bluest seas
Oh the people kept choppin' down
All my finest trees
Poisonin' my oxygen
Diggin' into my skin
Takin' more out of my good earth
Than they'll ever put back in
I'm a hungry planet

I Ain't Got Nothin' But the Blues
Ain't got the change of a nickel
Ain't got no bounce in my shoes
Ain't go no fancy to tickle
I ain't got nothing but the blues
Ain't got no coffee that's perking
Ain't got no winnings to lose
Ain't got a dream that is working
I ain't got nothing but the blues
When trumpets flare up
I keep my hair up
I just can't make it come down
Believe me peppie
I can't get happy
Since my ever loving baby left town
Ain't got no rest in my slumbers
Ain't got no feelings to bruise
Ain't got no telephone numbers
I ain't got nothing but the blues
Ain't got the change of a nickel
Ain't got no bounce in my shoes

Ain't got no coffee that's perking
Ain't got no winnings to lose

Ain't got no rest in my slumbers
Ain't got no feelings to bruise

Ain't got no east, no west, no good, no best
Ain't got no man to choose
I ain't got nothing

I Come And Stand At Every Door
I come and stand at every door
But no one hears my silent prayer
I knock and yet remain unseen
For I am dead, for I am dead...
I'm only seven although I died
In Hiroshima, long ago
I'm seven now as I was then
When children die they do not grow...
My hair was scorched by swirling flame
My eyes grew dim, my eyes grew blind
Death came and turned my bones to dust
And that was scattered by the wind...
I need no fruit, I need no rice,
I need no sweets, no even bread.
I ask for nothing for myself
For I am dead, for I am dead...
All that I ask is that for peace
You fight today, you fight today...
So that the children of this world,
May live and grow and laugh and play...

I Could Write a Book
If they ask me, I could write a book
About the way you walk and whisper and look
I could write a preface on how we met
So the world would never forget
And the simple secret of the plot
Is just to tell them that I love you, a lot
Then the world discovers as my book ends
How to make two lovers of friends
If they ask me, I could write a book
About the way you walk and whisper and look
I could write a preface on how we met
So the world would never forget, never, never forget
And the simple secret of the plot
Is just to tell them that I love you, allot

I Don't Believe That's How You Feel
I don't believe that's how you feel
I don't believe that you don't love me
Guess I must have hurt you bad
I didn't mean to make you sad
And I sure regret the things I told you now
I don't believe that we're all through
I don't believe that it's all over
Let's forget who's right or wrong
And remember we belong together
Let's forgive and forget and start over
We all make mistakes now and then
I don't want to love any other
I just want to love you again

I Guess I'll Have to Change My Plan
I guess, I'll have to change my plan
I should have realized there'd be another man
I overlooked that point completely
Until the big affair began
Before I knew where I was at
I found myself upon the shelf and that was that
I tried to reach the moon but when I got there
All that I could get was the air
My feet are back upon the ground
I've lost the one girl, I'd found
Before I knew where I was at
I found myself upon the shelf and that was that
I tried to reach the moon but when I got there
All that I could get was the air
My feet are back upon the ground
I've lost the one girl, the one girl I had found

I Knew I'D Want You
I'd like to love you
With all of my heart
You've had me on your trip
Right from the start
And when you looked at me
With love in your eyes
I knew, I'd want you, oh yeah.
I'd like to hold you
If you want me to
I've found somethin' new girl
Just by lookin' at you
And it's in your smile
And it's in the way
I knew, I'd want you, oh yeah.
I meet so many people
I feel I don't know
But I felt so close to you
When you said hello...
I'd like to love you
And together we'd find
The place we've been looking for
Where we'd have peace of mind
And there we'll be happy
And there I'll know why
I knew, I'd want you, oh yeah, oh yeah...

I Know My Rider
Well, I know my rider's gonna miss me when I'm gone
Well, I know my rider's gonna miss me when I'm gone
She's gonna miss her loving daddy from rollin' in her arms
When you see me coming, better hoist your window high
(Your window high)
When you see me coming, better hoist your window high
(Your window high)
When you see, you see me leaving, better hang down your head and cry
Well, I know my rider, she's bound to love me some
(To love me some)
Well, I know my rider, she's bound to love me some
(To love me some)
She use to throw her arms around me like a circle around the sun
Well, I know my rider's gonna miss me when I'm gone

I Know You Got Soul
It's been a long time I shouldn't have left you
Without a strong rhyme to step to
Think of how many weak shows you slept through
Time's up I'm sorry I kept you
Thinking of this you keep repeating you miss
The rhymes from the microphone soloist
So you sit by the radio hand on the dial soon
As you hear it pump up the volume
Dance wit the speaker till you hear it blow
Then plug in the headphone 'cause here it go
It's a 4 letter word when it's heard, it control
Your body to dance soul Ditects the tempo like a red alert
Reaches your reflex, so let it work
When this is playing, you can't get stuck wit
The steps, so get set and I'm a still come up wit
A gift to be swift, follow the leader, the rhyme will go
Def wit the record that was mixed a long time ago
It can be done but only I can do it
For those that can dance and clap your hands to it
I start to think and then I sink into the paper like I was ink
When I'm writing, I'm trapped in between the lines
I escape when I finish the rhyme, I got soul
You got it, you got it
You got it, you got it
I know you got soul
Picture a mic, the stage is empty
A beat like this might tempt me
To pose, show my rings and my fat gold chain
Grab the mic like I'm on Soul Train
But I'll wait 'cause I mastered this
Let the others go first so the brothers don't miss
Eric B. break the sticks
Rakim will begin when you make the mix
I'll experiment like a scientist
You wanna rhyme, you gotta sign my list
'Cause I'm a manifest and bless the mic I hold
You want it next? Then you gotta have soul
'Cause if you ain't got it, I'm a make an encore
Take the mic, make the people respond for
The R, 'cause that's the way it'll have to be
If you wanna get on after me
Think about it, wait, erase your rhyme
Forget it and don't waste your time
'Cause I'll be in the crowd if you ain't controlling it
Drop the mic, you shouldn't be holding it
This is how it should be done
This style is identical to none
Some try to make it sound like this but you're getting me
So upset that I'm wet 'cause you're sweating me
I drip steam like a microphone fiend eager to MC is my theme
I get hype when I hear a drum roll
Rakim is on the mic and you know I got soul
You got it, you got it
You got it, you got it
I got soul that's why I came
To teach those who can't say my name
First of all, I'm the soloist, the soul controller
Rakim gets stronger as I get older
Constant elevation causes expansion
I write my rhyme while I cool in my mansion
Then put it on tape and in the city I test it
Then on the radio the R's requested
You listen to it, the concept might break you
'Cause almost anyone can relate to
Whoever's out of hand, I'm give him handles
Light 'em up, blow 'em out like candles
Or should I just let him melt?
Then give him a hand so they can see how it felt
I'm not bold just 'cuz I rock gold
Rakim is on the mic and you know I got soul
You got it, you got it
You got it, you got it
Now I'm a stop to see what you got
Get off the mic before I get too hot
I want to see which posse can dance the best
It should be easy 'cause the beat is fresh
Now if your from Uptown, Brooklyn bound
The Bronx, Queens, or Long Island sound
Even other states come right and exact
It ain't where you're from, it's where you're at
Since you came here, you have to show and prove
And do that dance until it don't move
'Cause all you need is soul self-esteem will release
The rest is up to you, Rakim'll say peace
You got it, you got it
You got it, you got it
You got it, you got it
You got it, you got it
You got it, you got it

I Left My Heart in San Francisco
The loveliness of Paris seems somehow sadly gay
The glory that was Rome is of another day
I've been terribly alone and forgotten in Manhattan
I'm going home to my city by the bay
I left my heart in San Francisco
High on a hill, it calls to me
To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars
The morning fog may chill the air, I don't care
My love waits there in San Francisco
Above the blue and windy sea
When I come home to you, San Francisco
Your golden sun will shine for me

I Love You That's All
I don't need to go on pretending
I don't need the key to your door
Why would I leave goodbye open-ended
That's not what goodbye is for
Now I don't have one thing against you
You're breakin' my heart not the law
The angel I made you into had to fall
I'll miss you I love you that's all
Sometimes I get sentimental
But what would I say if I called
I feel like I'm caught in the middle
Somewhere between flyin' and takin' a fall
Now I don't have one thing against you
You're breakin' my heart not the law
The angel I made you into had to fall

I See You
I see you
Under there behind your hair
Everywhere, I see you
I see you
Turned on eyes can't tell lies
Empathize, I see you
Warm sliding sun through the cave of your hair
Wind washing fields kind of space living there
I see you
I know you
Met before, seventh floor
First world war, I know you
Who lives there?
Tell old fair I'm aware
That she cares, who lives there?
Green specks bright spiraling out in the sky
Catch my mind, turn my head, have to look, don't know why?
Who lives there?
We thought how
For a while they just smile
Just a silent thought
I see you
Sun is there behind your hair
Everywhere, I see you
I see you
Lyrics delivered by lyricsfly.com
Under there behind your hair
Everywhere, I see you
I see you
Turned on eyes can't tell lies
Empathize, I see you
Warm sliding sun through the cave of your hair
Wind washing fields kind of space living there
I see you
I know you
Met before, seventh floor
First world war, I know you
Who lives there?
Tell old fair I'm aware
That she cares, who lives there?
Green specks bright spiraling out in the sky
Catch my mind, turn my head, have to look, don't know why?
Who lives there?
We thought how
For a while they just smile
Just a silent thought
I see you
Sun is there behind your hair
Everywhere, I see you

I Still Love the Night Life
How dare you accuse me of bein' on a leash
Just because you haven't seen me
On the town the last few weeks?
You say that girl, I'm seein' has somehow made me change
But I say take a closer look
Deep down I'm still the same
Yeah, I still love the night life
Even though I've settled down
I can have the time of my life
Without leavin' the house
We have our own private parties
The good times never end
Yeah, I still love the night life
It's the best it's ever been
There may not be a jukebox, but I still love to dance
We two step 'cross that kitchen floor
Each time we get the chance
From neon light to soft white, sawdust to squeaky clean
It's different circumstances
Ah, but some things never change
Yeah, I still love the night life
Even though I've settled down
I can have the time of my life
Without leavin' the house
We have our private parties
The good times never end
Yeah, I still love the night life
It's the best it's ever been
Yeah, I still love the night life
Even though I've settled down
I can have the time of my life

We have our own private parties
The good times never end
Yeah, I still love the night life

I Thought About You
Seems that I read, or somebody said
That out of sight is out of mind
Maybe that so but I tried to go
And leave you behind, what did I find?
I took a trip on the train and I thought about you
I passed a shadowy lane and I thought about you
Two or three cars parked under the stars
A winding stream
Moon shining down on some little town
And with each beam, same old dream
At every stop that we made, oh, I thought about you
But when I pulled down the shade, then I really felt blue
I peeked through the crack and looked at the track
The one going back to you, and what did I do?
I'll leave it to you, oh what did I do?
I thought about you

I Trust
In times of despair, I think about the good things that you've done
And though you're not there, I sometimes ask myself, is anyone?
It's hard being human, when the whole world's uptight
But somehow I know
That everything's gonna work out all right
I might lose my patience but won't you please try to understand
I've got obligations and I intend to face 'em and take my stand
Oh, it's so hard being human, with all the troubles in sight
But somehow I know
That everything's gonna work out all right
Yes I do, yeah
Stick by me baby, in spite of my thoughts
That's all I want you to do and try to help me when I'm down
And I'll take good care of you
Now I want to thank you for all the gentle loving that you give
It brightens my feelings and gives me the strength I need to live
Oh it's so hard being human, with all of the troubles in sight
But somehow I know
That everything's gonna work out all right
Somehow I know
That everything's gonna work out all right

I Wanna Feel
At the time, it seemed like the right thing
Breakin' up and goin' separate ways
But now I find, I can't keep from wishin'
I was back with you in yesterday
Laughin' and lovin' wild and free
No one else but you and me
I wanna feel that way again
I wanna touch you like I did back then
I wanna hold you in my arms, let a candle burn till dawn
Feel your breath upon my skin
It was the best I've ever been
I can't believe we let it end
I wanna feel that way again
Holdin' hands, walkin' down a dirt road
In the dark and knowin' everything was right
We would dance, and talk about tomorrow
Our lips would touch and set the night on fire
Back then there was nothin' we couldn't do
Believin' that dreams come true
I wanna feel that way again
I wanna touch you like I did back then
I wanna hold you in my arms, let a candle burn till dawn
Feel your breath upon my skin
It was the best I've ever been

I Wanna Grow up to Be a Politician
I want to grow up to be a politician
And take over this beautiful land
I want to grow up to be a politician
And be the old U.S. of A.'s number one man
I'll always be tough but I'll never be scary
I want to shoot guns or butter my bread
I'll work in the towns or conservate the prairies
And you can believe the future's ahead
I'll give the young the right to vote as soon as they mature
But spare the rod and spoil the child to help them feel secure
And if I win election day I might give you a job
I'll sign a bill to help the poor to show I'm not a snob
I'll open my door, I'm charging no admission
And you can be sure, I'll give you my hand
I want to grow up to be a politician
And take over this beautiful land
I'll make you glad, you got me in with everything I do
And I'll defend until the end, the old red white and blue
I want to grow up to be a politician
And take over this beautiful land

I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better
The reason why, oh, I can say
I have to let you go, babe and right away
After what you did I can't stay on
And I'll probably feel a whole lot better when you're gone
Baby, for a long time you had me believe
That your love was all mine and that's the way it would be
But I didn't know that you were putting me on
And I'll probably feel a whole lot better when you're gone
Oh, when you're gone
Now, I've got to say that it's not like before
And I'm not gonna play your games any more

I'm from the Country
Way back up in the country, back in the hills
Down in the hollows where the folks are real
Livin’ with the crazies and the old wildcats
Sawed off shotguns and coonskin caps
That’s where I’m from and I’m proud to say
I’m from the country and I like it that way
Everybody knows everybody, everybody calls you friend
You don’t need an invitation, kick off your shoes, come on in
Yeah, we know how to work and we know how to play
We’re from the country and we like it that way
All day long we work in the fields
Then bring it on home to a home cooked meal
We love you like Sunday, treat you like Saturday night
And when the beds get full we can sleep in the hay, hey
We’re from the country and we like it that way
Everybody knows everybody, everybody calls you friend
You don’t need an invitation, kick off your shoes come on in

I'm on My Way Home Again
No, I don't think I'll ever get on that train again
I'll just smile and wave at the engineer
I'll put my guitar in a gunny sack
And walk away and I won't be back
And when the whistle blows my name
I'll say, "Whoo whoo, I'm on my way home again"
No, I don't think I'll ever come this way again
I'll be content with the pictures in my mind
I remember how that lonesome road
Used to press my back like a heavy load
And when the diesel calls my name
I'll say, "Whoo whoo, I'm on my way home again"
Running hee, I'll just sit and look out the window
Too dee, I'll just spend the day drinking beer
Winds, they will find me asleep at the TV
The rest of the week will be free, free
No, I don't think I'll ever get on that train again
I'll just smile and wave at the engineer
I'll put my guitar in a gunny sack
And walk away and I won't be back

If I Love Again
I often wonder why you came to me
Brought such a flame to me then let it die
And if another love should find my heart
It will remind my heart of your goodbye
With every new love you'll come back to me
In other eyes it's you I'll see
If I love again, though it's someone new
If I love again it will still be you
In someone's else's fond embrace
I'll close my eyes and see your face
If I love again I'll find other charms
But I'll make believe you are in my arms
And though my lips whisper, "I love you" my heart will not be true
I'll be loving you every time I love again

If I Stay
Lately the ties that bind
Feel like a noose around my neck
Chokin' the life from me
And leavin' my dreams gaspin' for breath
I've lost sight and so have you of the man you were attracted to
We lost me somewhere along the line
And I can't live like this no more knowing just outside that door
There's a road that leaves this all behind
There's a half a tank of freedom in my Chevy and I'm leavin'
And there's nothin' in this world you can say
So don't insist on standin' in my way
I can't find me if I stay
If you really love me if you care at all
You'll gladly step aside
I've given you the best of me
And now the rest of me is gonna take a ride
There's a gravel road that turns into a two lane black top highway
That stretches out for miles and miles and miles
And the mileposts and the road signs are pointin' out a white line
To a man I haven't been in quite awhile
There's a half a tank of freedom in my Chevy and I'm leavin'
And there's nothin' in this world you can say
So don't insist on standin' in my way
I can't find me if I stay
I can't find me if I stay
I can't find me if I stay
I can't find me if I stay

And the mileposts and the road signs are pointin' out a white line
To a man I haven't been in quite awhile
There's a half a tank of freedom in my Chevy and I'm leavin'
And there's nothin' in this world you can say
So don't insist on standin' in my way
I can't find me if I stay
I can't find me if I stay
I can't find me if I stay
I can't find me if I stay
I can't find me if I stay

If You're Gone
If I need you, it's to me you're everything
If I have you, if I love you just the same
If you're here, the night is rightly gone before
If you're gone, I'll see the daylight and that's all
If I stand on understanding what is now
If I ever need someone to show me how
If the daylight can be hidden by the sun
If you're gone, then I know I will need someone
If I love you, if I know how much I care
If I find the things you are then anywhere
If I know you, I may never know your name
If you're gone, then there is nothing that remains

Isn't It Romantic?
I've never met you, yet never doubt dear
I can't forget you, I've thought you out, dear
I know your profile and I know the way you kiss
Just the thing I miss on a night like this
Isn't it romantic?
Music in the night, a dream that can be heard
Isn't it romantic?
Moving shadows write the oldest magic word
I hear the breezes playing in the trees above
While all the world is saying you were meant for love
Isn't it romantic?
Merely to be young on such a night as this?
Isn't it romantic?
Every note that's sung is like a lover's kiss
Sweet symbols in the moonlight
Do you mean that I will fall in love per chance?
Isn't it romance?
Sweet symbols in the moonlight
Do you mean that I will fall in love per chance?
Isn't it romance?

It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing)
What good is melody, what good is music
If it ain't possessin' something sweet?
Nah, it ain't the melody and it ain't the music
There's something else that makes this tune complete
Yes, it don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing
Well, it don't mean a thing, all you got to do is sing
It makes no difference if it's sweet or hot
Just give that rhythm everything you got
Yes, it don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing
It don't mean a thing, don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing
I said, it don't mean a thing, if it ain't got that swing
Nah, it makes no difference if it's sweet or hot
Just give that rhythm everything you got
Don't mean a thing, boy, if it ain't that a swing

It Happens Each Day
Like a silent ray of sunlight
Catching in my eye
Like a bird sea-goin'
Coasting on my sky
It happens each day
You're away from here...
A bunch of friends are missing
From this tapestry
I remember kissing
Do you remember me
It happens each day
You're away from here...
Like a disembodied spirit
Watching over me
Like a sister sailing ship
Dead against the sea
It happens each day
You're away from here...

Every time I see you smile, come to me, don't be long

It's About Time
Another fourteen hour day, crisis solved deadline made
I came home like always, tired and beat
Threw dinner in the microwave, beside it on the counter lay
A letter from my wife addressed to me
It said, I know you're workin' hard that's easy to see
Tryin' to provide the best for the kids and me
We've had less to work with but we've always worked it out
A house and yard, clothes and cars ain't all it's all about
It's about time that you're not givin'
Life that you're not livin'
Losin' your focus, not knowin' you don't notice
That our dreams are slowly fading
Are you hearin' what I'm sayin'
Don't you think we're worth the sacrifice
'Cause if we are, you need to realize
It's about time
While you were on a business trip, to bad you had to miss
Your spittin' image hit the winning run
You know he adores you, he was lookin' for you
Remember that you promised him, you'd come
Did you know your little girl lost her front tooth today
She put it underneath her pillow and tried to stay awake
I laid down beside her, didn't want to sleep alone
This is not about, "Not loving" can't you see what's goin' on
It's about time that you're not givin'
Life that you're not livin'
Losin' your focus, not knowin' you don't notice
That our dreams are slowly fading
Are you hearin' what I'm sayin'
Don't you think we're worth the sacrifice
'Cause if we are, you need to realize
It's about time
I walked up the stairs to find three angels sound asleep
One by one I tucked 'em in and kissed 'em on the cheek
I stood there and thought about how selfish I had been
And how one day without 'em would be more than I could stand
And now I understand
It's about time I should be givin'
Life I should be livin'
Keepin' my focus and let 'em know I notice
That the thing that's most important
Is sharing in each moment
Heaven knows they're worth the sacrifice
It's not too late now, that I realize
It's about time
It's not too late now, that I realize
It's about time

It's All Over Now, Baby Blue
You better go now, take what you want
You think will last
But if there's something you wish to keep
Better grab it fast
Yonder stands your orphan with his gun
Crying like a fire in the sun
Look out for who, the saints are comin' through
And it's all over now, baby blue
The highway is for gamblers, better use your sense
Take what you have gathered from coincidence
The empty-handed painter from your streets
Is drawing crazy patterns on your sheets
The sky too is foldin' under you
And it's all over now, baby blue
All your seasick sailors, they are goin' home
Your empty-handed armies, they are goin' home
Your lover who just walked out the door
Has taken all his blankets from the floor
The carpet too is movin' under you
And it's all over now, baby blue
It's all over now, baby blue
It's all over now, baby blue

It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)
Darkness at the break of noon
Shadows even the silver spoon
The handmade blade, the child's balloon
Eclipses both the sun and moon
To understand you know too soon
There is no sense in trying
Pointed threats, they bluff with scorn
Suicide remarks are torn
From the fool's gold mouthpiece the hollow horn
Plays wasted words proves to warn
That he not busy being born
Is busy dying
So don't fear if you hear
A foreign sound to your ear
It's alright, ma
I'm only bleeding
For them that must obey authority
That they do not respect in any degree
Who despise their jobs, their destinies
Speak jealously of them that are free
Do what they do just to be
Nothing more than something they invest in
A question in your nerves is lit
Yet you know there is no answer fit to satisfy
Insure you not to quit
To keep it in your mind and not forget
That it is not he or she or them or it
That you belong to
Although the masters make the rules
For the wise men and the fools
It's alright, ma
I'm only dieing

Jack Tarr the Sailor
When first I came to Liverpool
I went upon the spree
Me money at last I spent it
Fast got drunk as drunk could be
And when my money was all gone
It was then that I wanted more
But a man must be blind to make up his mind
To go to sea once more
I spent the night with Angeline
Too drunk to roll in bed
Me watch, it was new and my money was too
And the morning with them she fled
And as I roamed the streets of Bath
The whores they all would roar
There goes Jarr Tarr the poor sailor
He must go to sea once more
As I walking down the street
I ran into Rapper Brown
I asked him for to take me in
And he looked at me with a frown
He said, "Last time you was on board with me
You job no score, but I'll take your advance
And I'll give you the chance
And I'll send you to sea once more"
They shipped me aboard of a whaling ship
Bound for the Arctic Sea
Where the cold winds blow through the frost and the snow
Jamaica rum would freeze
Alas! I had no luck with my gear
For I left my money ashore
It was then that I wished
That I was there, safe with the girls ashore
Come all ye boat seafaring lads
Who listen to my song
And when you come off them long trip
Pray that you don't go wrong
Take my advice, drink no strong drink
Don't go sleeping with no whores
But get married lads and have all night in
And go to to sea no more

Jamaica Say You Will
Jamaica was the lovely one, I played her well
As we lay in the tall grass where the shadows fell
Hiding from the children, so they would not tell
We would stay there 'til her sister rang the evening bell
Jamaica, say you will
Help me find a way to fill these empty hours
Say you will come again tomorrow
The daughter of a captain on the rolling seas
She would stare across the water from the trees
Last time, he was home he held her on his knees
And said the next time, they would sail away just where they pleased
Jamaica, say you will
Help me find a way to fill these lifeless sails
And stay until my ships can find the sea
Jamaica was a sweet young one, I loved her true
She was a comfort and a mercy through and through
Hiding from this world together, next thing I knew
We had brought her things down to the bay, what could I do
Jamaica, say you will
Help me find a way to fill these sails
And we will sail until our waters have run dry

Jeannine
Last time, last time I saw Jeannine
She looked just like a royal queen
And she cruises by with some wealthy guy
In a Cadillac limousine, last time
Last time I saw Jeannine
Last time, last time I saw Jeannine
Recall when we were seventeen
I was a beau 'twas not so long ago
But too short of that long lost dream
To satisfy Jeannine
Now she's gone from me
Moved away from the old neighborhood
And I'm certain she's gone for good
Last time, last time I saw Jeannine
The dollar signs stood in between
It was a love lost to the rising cost
But since then, I have never seen
I haven't seen Jeannine
Now she's gone from me
Moved away from the old neighborhood
And I'm certain she's gone for good
Last time, last time I saw Jeannine
The dollar signs stood in between
And it was a love lost to the rising cost
But since then, I have never seen
I haven't seen Jeannine
Last time, last time I saw Jeannine
Last time, last time I saw Jeannine
Hey cats, are you ready?
Oh Jeannine, Jeannine
Jeannine, Jeannine
Jeannine, Jeannine
Jeannine, Jeannine
Last time, last time I saw Jeannine
Last time, last time I saw Jeannine

She looked just like a royal queen

John Riley
Fair young maid all in her garden
Strange young man passer by
Says, "Fair young maid, will you marry me?"
This then, sir, was her reply
"Oh no, kind sir, I cannot marry thee
For I've a love who sails across the sea
Though he's been gone these seven years
Still no man shall marry me"
"What if he's in some battle slain?
Or if he's drowned in, in the deep salt sea?
What if he's found another love?
He and his love both married be?"
"If he's in some battle slain
I will die, when the moon doth wane,
and if he's drownded in the deep salt sea,
I'll be true to his memory
And if he's found another love
and He and his new love both married be
I wish them health and happiness
Where they dwell across the sea"
He picked her up all in his arms
And kisses gave her one, two and three
Saying "Weep no more, my own true love
I am your long lost John Riley"
Saying, "Weep no more, my own true love
I am your long lost John Riley"

Just a Season
If all my days was hills to climb and circles without reason
If all I was was passing time, my life was just a season
Dares and dreams and silly schemes and fillies running freely
I was young and no song was sung that didn't sound appealing
I'd have my fun with a shy girl and maybe hop a train
And I'd look back at her standing in the rain
Dirty hands and root beer stands and money like a river
Making deals to see how it feels to get more than you're giving
I'd have my fun with a gamblin man and bluff him with my face
And it's drinks for everybody in the place
If all my days was hills to climb and circles without reason
If all I was was passing time my life was just a season
If all my days was hills to climb and circles without reason
If all I was was passing time my life was just a season
Shouting crowds and mummer's shrouds and people going crazy
Always said what was in their heads it surely was amazing
I had my fun in the bull ring and never got a scar
It really wasn't hard to be a star
If all my days was hills to climb and circles without reason
If all I was was passing time my life was just a season

Just Let Me Be in Love
My breath is short, my heart is beating fast
Every time I smile at her she’s smiling back
If I’m dreaming, please just let me sleep
Anyone can see that she’s too good for me
Oh, give her time, she’ll find out soon enough
Just let me have and hold her till she does
What we’ve got going on is so incredible
This chemistry between us feels so wonderful
But knowing me, I’ll probably, find a way to mess it up
Who knows, who cares, right now, just let me be in love
Don’t concern me with reality
Don’t convince me she’s too Heavenly
Forget the future, disregard the past
And those are questions I don’t want to ask
Oh to my heart, all that matters is tonight
Just let me live this moment in her eyes
What we’ve got going on is so incredible
This chemistry between us feels so wonderful
But knowing me, I’ll probably, find a way to mess it up
And who knows, who cares, right now, just let me be in love
What we’ve got going on is so incredible
This chemistry between us feels so wonderful
But knowing me, I’ll probably, find a way to mess it up

Just Like a Woman
Nobody feels any pain
Tonight as I stand inside the rain
Ev'rybody knows
That Baby's got new clothes
But lately I see her ribbons and her bows
Have fallen from her curls
She takes just like a woman, yes she does
She makes love like a woman, yes she does
And then she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl
Queen Mary, she's my friend
Yes, I believe I'll go see her again
Nobody has to guess
That Baby can't be blessed
Till she sees finally that she's like all the rest
With her fog, with her amphetamine and her pearls
She takes just like a woman
And she makes love like a woman
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl
It was raining from the first
And I was dying there of thirst
So I came in here
And your long-time curse hurts
But what's worse
Is this pain in here
I can't stay in here
Ain't it clear that
I just don't fit
Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
And when we meet again
Introduced as friends
Please don't let on that you knew me when
I was hungry and it was your world
You take just like a woman
And you take just like a woman, yes you do
And you make love like a woman, yes you do
And then you ache just like a woman
But you break just like a little girl

Just My Imagination (Running Away with Me)
Each day through my window
I watch him as he passes by
I say to myself, "What an incredible guy"
To have a love like that
Must surely be a dream come true
Out of all the women in the world
He belongs to only you
But it was just my imagination
Runnin' away with me
It was just my imagination
Runnin' away with me
Soon we'll be married
And raise a family
A cozy little home out in the country
With two kids or three
I tell you, I can visualize it all
This couldn't be a dream
How real it all seems
Ohh, but it was just my imagination
Once again, runnin' away with me
Tell you, it was just my imagination
Runnin' away with me
Every night on my knees I pray
Dear Lord, hear my plea
Don't ever let another take his love from me
Or I will surely, surely die
His love is heavenly
When his arms enfold me
I hear a tender rhapsody
But in reality, he doesn't even know me
Just my imagination
Once again
Runnin' away with me
Ohh, just my imagination
Runnin' away with me
It was just my imagination
Runnin' away with me
It was just my imagination
Runnin' away with me
Just my imagination
Runnin' away with me

Just Squeeze Me (But Don't Tease Me)
Treat me sweet and gentle when you say, 'Goodnight'
Just squeeze me but please don't tease me
I get sentimental when you hold me tight
Just squeeze me but please don't tease me
Missing you since you went away
Singin' the blues away each day
Counting the nights and waiting for you
I'm in the mood to let you know
I never knew I loved you so
Please say, you love me too
When I get this feeling I'm in ecstasy
So squeeze me but please, don't tease me
Yes, squeeze me, mama, don't tease me, no, no
Oh, squeeze me, mama, please don't tease me

Kathleen's Song
When I awake you will be gone, shady tomorrow
I want to go, where will you be?
So I'll stay home letting my hair grow long
And I will be walking in dew
While fire burns summer is gone, winter is sorrow
But time don't mean nothing to me
When only the owls listen to hear my songs
And I will be walking in dew
And I will be waiting for you
Some people say, "Love goes away", not mine
A rose is red for your cheeks, I will borrow
And find a place for you to see
A sash of blue tells me your love is strong
Each day my life, starting anew
And I will be waiting for you

Keeper of the Stars
It was no accident me finding you
Someone had a hand in it
Long before we ever knew
Now I just can't believe you're in my life
Heaven's smilin' down on me
As I look at you tonight
I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars
He sure knew what he was doin'
When he joined these two hearts
I hold everything, when I hold you in my arms
And I've got all I'll ever need
Thanks to the keeper of the stars
Soft moonlight on your face oh, how you shine
It takes my breath away
Just to look into your eyes
I know I don't deserve a treasure like you
There really are no words
To show my gratitude
So I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars
He sure knew what he was doin'

Killing Me Softly With His Song
Strumming my pain with his fingers, singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song, killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words, killing me softly with his song
I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style
And so I came to see him to listen for a while
And there he was this young boy, a stranger to my eyes
Strumming my pain with his fingers, singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song, killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words, killing me softly with his song
I felt all flushed with fever, embarrassed by the crowd
I felt he found my letters and read each one out loud
I prayed that he would finish but he just kept right on
Strumming my pain with his fingers, singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song, killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words, killing me softly with his song
He sang as if he knew me in all my dark despair
And then he looked right through me as if I wasn't there
And he just kept on singing, singing clear and strong
Strumming my pain with his fingers, singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song, killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words, killing me softly with his song
Strumming my pain with his fingers, singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song, killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words, killing me
He was strumming my pain, yeah, he was singing my life
Killing me softly with his song, killing me softly with his song

King Apathy III
Freaks collecting stained-glass rubies
Pillowed gently on a strand
Bearing looks of frenzied blankness
Slowing down their B.B. King
Middle class suburban children
Wearing costumes that reveal
Blindly follow recent pipers
With their mystical appeal, for now
So I'm leavin' for the country, to try and rest my head
'Cause if I hang around this scene too long
You know babe, I'll be dead
All the changes superficial
Apathy, still a king
Liberal reactionaries
Never dealing anything, for now
So I'm leavin' for the country, to try and rest my head
'Cause if I hang around this scene too long
You know babe, I'll be dead

Lady Friend
Here it comes again, it's going to happen to me
Here it comes, I should have learned to duck
She's going to say, she's going away
And I will have to live without her and survive
Here it comes, it looks just like the last wave I drowned in
Here it comes and I'm so far from shore
She's going to go and take her trinkets
And I will have to live without her and survive
Here it comes again, the night is going to fall
Here it comes, she's going to say goodbye
She's going to go and leave only me
And I will have to live without her and survive

Lately
i used to think i had it made
everytime we said goodnight
this little dating game we played
has always seemed to feel alright
i had my privacy and your heart on a string
its never been my style to ruin a good thing
but lately I've been thinking a change of plans
maybe get a couple wedding bands
do something crazy
maybe get a piece of land and see
if we can start a family tree
i don't know what's gotten into me
but I've been dreaming bout babies
I know it can be hard these days
to be a family man
I know that the experts say
you need to live life while you can
I've heard phychology on what makes true love true
and I've read the books with educated points of view
but lately I've been leaning more to dr. seuss
reading up on mother goose
seems she's quite a lady
I've been seeing lots of pinks and blues
and little bitty tennis shoes
hearing good night daddy I love you
yeah I've been dreamin' bout babies
I used to dream of fancy foreign cars
and black tie affairs
now we live in separate condos
while we climb the golden stairs
but lately
I've been thinking it makes more since
to build a house with a picket fence
forget the Mercedes
get some puppy dogs and training wheels
and a family olds mobile
I can't believe just how good it feels to be dreamin about babies
I can't believe just how good it feels

I thought that I had met a man who said
That he knew a man who knew what was going on
I was mistaken, was only another stranger that I knew
And I thought that I had found daylight
To guide me through my night and all this darkness
I was mistaken, was only reflections of a shadow that I saw
And I thought that I had seen someone
Who seemed at last to know the truth
I was mistaken, was only a very small child
And he was laughing, laughing in the sun
In the sun, in the sun, in the sun

Lay Down Your Weary Tune
Lay down your weary tune, lay down
Lay down the song you strum
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum
Struck by the sounds before the sun
I knew the night had gone
The morning breeze like a bugle blew
Against the drums of dawn
Lay down your weary tune, lay down
Lay down the song you strum
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum
The ocean wild like an organ played
The seaweed wove and strands
The crashin' waves like cymbals clashed
Against the rocks and sands
Lay down your weary tune, lay down
Lay down the song you strum
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum
The last of leaves fell from the trees
And clung to a new love's breast
The branches bare like a banjo monk
To the winds that listened the best
Lay down your weary tune, lay down
Lay down the song you strum
And rest yourself beneath the strength of strings
No voice can hope to hum

Lay Lady Lay
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Whatever colors you have in your mind
I'll show them to you and you'll see them shine
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Until the break of day, let me see you make him smile
His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean
And you're the best thing that he's ever seen
Stay, lady, stay, stay with your man awhile
Why wait any longer for the world to begin?
You can have your cake and eat it too
Why wait any longer for the one you love?
When he's standing right in front of you
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead
I long to see you in the morning light
I long to reach for you in the night
Stay, lady, stay, stay while the night is still ahead
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed

Lazy Days
It's a lazy day, I'm down with nothing else to do
It's a crazy day, I've got a thing that I wanna try with you
Now baby, don't you go away
Please don't spoil my lazy day
Now isn't it better, didn't you know?
Just sittin' down here by the radio
I'm gonna make you worry none about your income tax
No, there's no need to hurry, I think I have to relax
It's a lazy day, I'm down with nothing else to do
And it's a crazy day, I've got a thing that I wanna try with you
Now baby, don't you go away
Please don't spoil my lazy day
No, you don't have to think about nothing to do
'Cause when I get you down by the barbecue
Oh, I'm gonna make you feel funny, sparkle like a brand new dime
No, I don't have no money but I always got plenty of time
It's a lazy day, I'm down with nothing else to do
It's a crazy day, I've got a thing that I wanna try with you
Now baby, don't you go away

Let's Do It (Let's Fall in Love)
But that's why birds do it, bees do it
Even educated fleas do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
In Spain the best upper sets do it
Lithuanians and let's do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
The Dutch in old Amsterdam do it
Not to mention the Finns
Folks in Siam do it
Think of Siamese twins
Some Argentines without means do it
People say in Boston even beans do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Romantic sponges they say do it
Oysters down in oyster bay do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Cold Cape Cod clams 'gainst their wish do it
Even lazy jellyfish do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Electric eels, I might add do it
Though it shocks 'em I know
Why ask if shad do it
Waiter bring me shad roe
In shallow shoals, English soles do it
Goldfish in the privacy of bowls do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
The dragonflies in the reeds do it
Sentimental centipedes do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Mosquitoes, heaven forbid, do it
So does every katydid do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
The most refined ladybugs do it
When a gentleman calls
Moths in your rugs do it
What's the use of mothballs?
Locusts in trees do it, bees do it
Even over educated fleas do it
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Let's do it, let's fall in love
Let's do it, let's fall in love

Lifestyles of the Not So Rich and Famous
Honey they're bringin' out a TV crew
They wanna do a story about me and you
They'll be stringin' up bright lights in the backyard
There'll be cameras on their shoulders, we'll be readin' cue cards
Leave them long johns on the line
If the kids look dirty, that'll be just fine
They're gonna put us on lifestyles of the not so rich and famous
They wanna see us go hog wild over beans and barbecue
They wanna see my Fairlane up on blocks, the holes in all our socks
Talkin' about lifestyles of the not so rich and famous
Tell 'em about your mama and the bowling league
Tell 'em about junior and his baseball team
I'll show 'em my nine point buck on the wall
I'll blow a few times on my new duck call
Let 'em see ol' blue how he sleeps all day
We'll bring out the Elvis TV trays
They're gonna put us on lifestyles of the not so rich and famous
They wanna see us go hog wild over beans and barbecue
They wanna see my Fairlane up on blocks, the holes in all our socks
Talkin' about lifestyles of the not so rich and famous
Yeah our idea of high class livin' is sittin' on the porch on a cool night
Our champagne and caviar is an R.C. Cola and a moon pie
I'm talkin' about lifestyles of the not so rich and famous
Lifestyles of the not so rich and famous

Limehouse Blues
And those weird China blues
Never go away
Sad, mad blues
For all the while they seem to say
Oh, Limehouse kid
Oh, oh, Limehouse kid
Goin' the way
That the rest of them did
Poor broken blossom
And nobody's child
Haunting and taunting
You're just kind of wild
Oh, Limehouse blues
I've the real Limehouse blues
Can't seem to shake off
Those real China blues
Rings on your fingers
And tears for your crown
That is the story
Of old Chinatown
Rings on your fingers
And tears for your crown
That is the story
Of old Chinatown

Long Live the King
The first thing that they tell you
Is that you will be king
A priest at least they tell you
And that then everything
Will be alright at last
You will finally be cast
Into your rightful throne
They've got it all down cold
Next thing that they tell you
Is not to be afraid
Think you're better than the others
Somewhat fine and brave
They lead astray
You could be up there all alone
A star they say
A million miles away from home
An empty space
Is that the place you wanted?
The last thing that they tell you about
Is they ask you "Will it hurt?"
They said,"Sell what you can, boy
Get out while the getting's good"
And they whisper in the evening
Now, all around town
They said, "Woo, Humpty Dumpty
The king is falling down"
I said,"Just like Humpty Dumpty
(All the king's horses
The king is falling down"
(And all the king's men)
I said, "Ooh, Humpty Dumpty now
(Could not put old Humpty Dumpty now)
The king is falling down"
(Back together again)
I said,"Oh, the king is falling down"
(All the king's horses and all the king's men)
I said,"Oh, the king is falling down"
(Could not put old Humpty Dumpty now back together again)
I said,"Oh, the king is falling down"
(All the king's horses and all the king's men)
I said,"Oh, the king is falling down"
(Could not put old Humpty Dumpty now back together again)
I said,"Oh, the king is falling down"
(All the king's horses and all the king's men)
I said,"Oh, the king is falling down"

Love That Never Dies
Something happens to me every time when we touch
Sometimes I'm worried, 'cause I think I might love you too much
Yeah, I know what your mama said and maybe she's right
But can't you feel what my heart is saying tonight
For a woman like you, life's an opening door
You're the beautiful girl that we're all looking for
Yeah, you can have anything, anything that you want
But, baby, what we've already got can never be bought
If our love is a timeless flight
Well, you know that's alright
'Cause we're gonna take our time loving tonight
I'm gonna hold you right here in my arms
As the Limousine takes us away
And we'll dream about the music of some brighter day
Throw a dime to the tambourine man
And kiss all the horses goodbye
And believe in the spirit of a love that never dies
Yeah, you can have anything, anything that you want
But, baby, what we've already got can never be bought
If our love is a timeless flight
Well, you know that's alright
'Cause we're gonna take our time loving tonight

Love You Ain't Seen The Last Of Me
I been losin' my mind
One love at a time
Getting up just to be knocked down
But with all of that pain
I come back again
And I always go one more round
Women, me and love
We just can't get it right
I might lose the battle
But I love the fight
No love, you ain't seen the last of me
I just keep comin' back to see
If I can capture the dream
Yeah love, you done all you can do to me
I don't give up so easily
No, you ain't seen the last of me
I got a big, long list
Of all the times I've missed
When I zeroed in on love
And at times it seems
Like one heartache begins
Where the last one has just left off
And tonight it looks like
Another one is aimed in my heart
And she's lookin' at me
And I'm feelin' that feelin' start
Oh love, you ain't seen the last of me

Lover of the Bayou
Ladies and gentlemen let's have a fine hand for The Byrds
Catfish pie in a gris-gris bag
I'm the lover of the bayou
Mark your doorstep with a half-wet rag
I'm the lover of the bayou
Raised and swam with the crocodile
Snacked-eye taught me the moyo style
Sucked and weaned on chicken bile
I'm the lover of the bayou, yeah
Well, I learned the key to the master lock
I learned to float in the water clock
I learned to capture the lightnin' shock
I'm the lover of the bayou
And I've got cats and teeth and hair for sale
I'm the lover of the bayou
Baron Samedi is on your tail
I'm the lover of the bayou
I cooked the bat in the gumbo pan
Drank the blood from a rusty can
Turned me into the hunger man
I'm the lover of the bayou, yeah

Mae Jean Goes to Hollywood
Honey, when I brought you here you said that you would sing
You said that you would wing your way to fortune and fame
Now I've given everything to keep you warm and clean
I didn't bat an eye when you changed your name
I'm getting tired of hearing people
Call you someone else
I'm getting used to seeing you go in the morning
And even supper by myself
Now this Hollywood producer has offered you the world
He lets you drive his sporty new Camaro
Wonder just how many girls he's told that story to
How many dreams have gone away in sorrow
I'm getting tired of biting my nails
And pumping gasoline
I'm getting tired of waiting for you
To figure out why this city is unclean
Mae Jean run back home with me
And I'll go back to working on your daddy's farm
Mae Jean run back home with me
This wicked cities bound to do us harm
Now all this time I helped you with your promising career
I never said one word about your singing
I just want to let you know that you'll still be my star
If you say goodbye to Hollywood and do your singing in the shower
Mae Jean run back home with me
Back to where the air is clean and free
May Jean run back home with me
If this city doesn't get us first it's gonna sink into the sea

Makin Memories of Us
I'm gonna be here for you baby I'll e a man of my word
Speak the language in a voice that you have never heard
I want to sleep with you forever I want to die in your arms
In a cabin by a meadow where the wild bees swarm
Now that I found you I want to surround you
I'll win to steal your attention like a bad outlaw
I want to stand out in a crowd for you a man among men
I want to make your world better than it's ever been
I want to know you like nobody knows you
I'll win your trust making memories of us
I'm gonna be here for you from now on this you'll know somehow
You've been stretched to the limits but it's alright now
I'm gonna make you a promise if there's life after this
I'm gonna be there to meet you with a warm wet kiss
Cause I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
I'll win your trust making memories of us
I'm gonna love you like nobody loves you
I'll earn your trust making memories of us

Makin' Whoopee
Every time I hear that march from Lohengrin
I am always on the outside lookin' in
Maybe, that is why I see the funny side
When I see somebody's brother take a bride
Weddings make a lot of people sad
But if you're not the one, they're not so bad
Another bride, another June
Another sunny honeymoon
Another season, another reason
For makin' whoopee
A lot of shoes, a lot of rice
The groom is nervous
Who can blame him? He answers twice
It's really killin', but he's so willin' to make whoopee
Picture a little love nest, I got you
Down where the roses cling, it's very romantic
Picture that same sweet love nest
Think, what a year can bring, I'm with you
He's washing dishes and baby clothes, he should
He's so ambitious, not really, he even sews, 2003 babe
But don't forget folks, that's what you get folks
For makin' whoopee
Another year, what, or maybe less
What's this I hear, can't you guess? No
She feels neglected and he's suspected, that's right
Of makin' whoopee
She sits alone 'most every night
He doesn't phone nor even write, I forgot the number
He says, he's busy, yeah but she says, is he?
He's makin' whoopee
He doesn't make much money
Yeah, five hundred thousand per, who told ya that?
Some judge who thinks he's funny
Says, you pay six to her
He says, "Now judge, what if I fail?"
Judge says, "Bud, right into jail" Whoops
You better keep her, I think it's cheaper
Than makin' whoopee
Yeah, don't forget, folks
That's what you get, folks
For makin' whoopee

Meditation (Meditação)
In my loneliness when you're gone
And I'm all by myself and I need your caress
I just think of you and the thought of you holding me near
Makes my loneliness soon disappear
Though you're far away
I have only to close my eyes and you are back to stay
I just close my eyes and the sadness that missing you brings
Soon is gone and this heart of mine sings
Yes I love you so and that for me is all I need to know
I will wait for you till the sun falls from out of the sky
For what else can I do
I will wait for you, meditating how sweet life
Will be when you come back to me

Mind Gardens
Once upon a time, there was a garden on a high hill
Standin' green and [Incomprehensible] against the sea
And there the sun came and the rain pourin' down
the garden grew and splattered bits of color on the ground
And took shape and symmetry all around
There came winds, driven and howlin'
There came snow and I feared for the garden
So I built a wall and another, roofed it over, thick and strong
I kept it from the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
But when the sun came and the gentle rain of spring
They could not find the garden behind those walls
It would have died, safely, securely, died
But as I watched and as I learned
I tore the walls all down, the garden still lives

Mistletoe and Holly
Oh, by gosh, by golly
It's time for mistletoe and holly
Tasty pheasants, Christmas presents
Countrysides covered with snow
Oh, by gosh, by jingle
It's time for carols and Kris Kringle
Overeating, merry greetings
From relatives you don't know
Then comes that big night
Giving the tree the trim
You'll hear voices by starlight
Singing a Yuletide hymn
Oh, by gosh, by golly
It's time for mistletoe and holly
Fancy ties an' granny's pies
An' folks stealin' a kiss or two
As they whisper, "Merry Christmas" to you
Then comes that big night

You'll hear voices by starlight

Moon River, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're going I'm going your way
Two drifters off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end
Waiting 'round the bend my Huckleberry friend

Mr Spaceman
Woke up this morning with light in my eyes
And then realized it was still dark outside
It was a light coming down from the sky
I don't know who or why
Must be those strangers that come every night
Those saucer shaped lights put people uptight
Leave blue green footprints that glow in the dark
I hope they get home all right
Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along, I won't do anything wrong?
Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along for a ride?
Woke up this morning, I was feeling quite weird
Had flies in my beard, my toothpaste was smeared
Over my window, they'd written my name
Said, so long, we'll see you again
Hey, Mr. Spaceman
Won't you please take me along, I won't do anything wrong?

My Back Pages
Crimson flames tied through my years
Rollin' high and mighty trapped
Countless violent flaming roads
Using ideas as my map
"We'll meet on edges soon," said I
Proud 'neath heated brow
Ahh, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
Half wracked prejudice leaped forth
"Rip down all hate," I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull, I dreamed
Romantic flanks of musketeers
Foundation deep, somehow
Ahh, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
Sisters fled by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow
Ahh, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
Ahh, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
My guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow
Ahh, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
Lyrics delivered by lyricsfly.com
Rollin' high and mighty trapped
Countless violent flaming roads
Using ideas as my map
"We'll meet on edges soon," said I
Proud 'neath heated brow
Ahh, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
Half wracked prejudice leaped forth
"Rip down all hate," I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull, I dreamed
Romantic flanks of musketeers
Foundation deep, somehow
Ahh, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
In a soldier's stance, I aimed my hand
At the mongrel dogs who teach
Fearing not I'd become my enemy
In the instant that I preach
Sisters fled by confusion boats
Mutiny from stern to bow
Ahh, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
Ahh, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
My guard stood hard when abstract threats
Too noble to neglect
Deceived me into thinking
I had something to protect
Good and bad, I define these terms
Quite clear, no doubt, somehow
Ahh, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now

My Byrd Performs
Fine art never moved my soul
No vintage wine designer clothes
But my world shakes for me
My bird sings sweetly
A different kind of tinsel
Decorates my tree
Yes my bird performs
A thousand Cheshire cats
Grin inside of me
Yes my bird performs
There she goes
Shakespeare's sonnets leave me cold
The drama stage and the high brow prose
But my world shakes for me
My bird sings sweetly
The brightest fireworks
Are lighting up my sky
Yes my bird performs
The cage is open
But she's no desire to fly
'Cause my bird performs
There she goes
And you keep saying what you got
You keep saying what you got
Look out!

My Funny Valentine
My funny valentine, sweet comic valentine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable, un-photographable
Yet you're my favorite work of art
Is your figure less than Greek?
Is your mouth a little weak?
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
Don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay, little valentine, stay!
Each day is Valentine's Day
Don't change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay, little valentine, stay!
Each day is Valentine's Day

My Ideal
Long ago my heart and mind
Got together and designed
The wonderful girl for me
Oh, what a fantasy
Thought the ideal of my heart
Can't be ordered a la carte
I wonder if she will be
Always a fantasy
Will I ever find the girl in my mind?
The one who is my ideal
Maybe she's a dream and yet she might be
Just around the corner waiting for me
Will I recognize the light in her eyes
That no other eyes reveal
Or will I pass her by and never even know
That she was my ideal
Will I recognize the light in her eyes
That no other eyes reveal
Or will I pass her by and never even know
That she is my ideal

My Romance
My romance, doesn't need to have a moon in the sky
My romance, doesn't need a blue lagoon standing by
No month of May, no twinkling stars
No hideaway, no soft guitar
My romance doesn't need a castle rising in Spain
Or a dance to a constantly surprising refrain
All at once I can make my most fantastic dreams come true
My romance, doesn't need a thing but you
My romance doesn't need a castle rising in Spain
Or a dance to a constantly surprising refrain
And wide awake, I can make my most fantastic dreams come true
My romance, doesn't need a thing but you, but you

Natural Harmony
Falling free, me and you
Happening so graciously
You can't hurry natural harmony
Feel so free, wider than me
Seems just like the day of birth
Our first awakening to this earth
Dancing through the streets side by side
Head thrown back, arms open wide
Going home, almost gone
Merging with a grain of sand
Try hard to catch us if you can
Dancing through the streets side by side
Head thrown back, arms open wide

Needed
You say you hate to bother me
Baby, I'll be right there
You're having one of those days
I can see right through this phone
Nothing's out of my way
You can't ask too much
I'm just thankful to be
The one you lean on
So, lay your troubles on me
That's what I live for
Makes me feel so complete
It's the reason I was born
Baby, what makes love, love
And gives my life meaning
Is to be needed, needed
I know this ain't easy
Sometimes, we try so hard
That we just end up overworked
And overwhelmed
That's why I've got this shoulder
And two arms open wide
You won't ever have to
Do it by yourself
Lay your troubles on me
That's what I live for
Makes me feel so complete
It's the reason I was born
Baby, what makes love, love
And gives my life meaning
Is to be needed, needed
Baby, what makes love, love
And gives my life meaning
Is to be needed, needed
I wanna be needed, needed

Never Gonna Break Again
Seeing you sitting alone
Stranded with your heart broke down
Reminds me of everything
Wrong with the world right now
It seems nobody takes pride
In anything they do or say
They give their word
But it ain't worth very much these days
Maybe, I'm old school, behind the times
But I still believe if a man does something
He ought to do it right
So, when I make love
It's made to last
And when I build trust
It's built to stand fast
Everything I start
I see it to the end
If you let me fix your heart
It's never gonna break again
Whoever had your heart before
Left it in pretty bad shape
If he gave it the time and the care it needs
Well, he did it too late
It's gonna take a little work
But it's nothing I can't do
Piece by piece, I'll put it together back
Better than new
And it comes with my
Lifetime guarantee
Just put your heart in my good hands
And, girl, you'll see
That when I make love
It's made to last
And when I build trust
It's built to stand fast
Everything I start
I see it to the end
If you let me fix your heart
It's never gonna break again
When I make love

No Ordinary Man
Eight seconds ain't very long to live
But tonight he barely made five
He gave all that he had to give
But the big bull won tonight
He climbs into that old pickup
Black coffee in his hand
Rodeo ain't no ordinary life
But a cowboy ain't no ordinary man
Well he rides just to keep his spirit alive
Makin' money for his wife and kids
He tried other kinds of work
But nothing ever seemed to fit
Oh, he loves the smell of a Brahma bull
The feel of leather in his hand
Rodeo ain't no ordinary life
But a cowboy ain't no ordinary man
He's got a gold buckle on his mind
And he don't ride to lose
Tomorrow night, he'll nod and yell outside
And they'll turn his future loose
But no matter how bad he hurts
He'll tip his hat to the fans
Rodeo ain't no ordinary life
But a cowboy ain't no ordinary man
Well he rides just to keep his spirit alive
Makin' money for his wife and kids
He tried other kinds of work
But nothing ever seemed to fit
Oh, he loves the smell of a Brahma bull
The feel of leather in his hand
Well Rodeo ain't no ordinary life
But a cowboy ain't no ordinary man

Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)
I once had a girl
Or should I say she once had me
She showed me her room
Isn't it good Norwegian wood?
She asked me to stay
And she told me to sit anywhere
So I looked around
And I noticed there wasn't a chair
I sat on the rug biding my time
Drinking her wine
We talked until two and then she said
"It's time for bed"
She told me she worked
In the morning and started to laugh
I told her I didn't
And crawled off to sleep in the bath
And when I awoke I was alone
This bird had flown
So I lit a fire
Isn't it good Norwegian wood?

Nothing Was Delivered
Nothing was delivered
And I tell this truth to you
Not out of spite or anger
But, simply because it's true
Now you must provide some answers
For what you sell has not been received
And the sooner you come up with them
And the sooner you can leave
Nothing is better, nothing is best
Take care of your health and get plenty of rest
Nothing was delivered
And it's up to you to say
Just what you had in mind
When you made everybody pay
Now I hope you won't object to this
Giving back all that you owe
And the sooner you come up with them
And the sooner you can go
Nothing is better, nothing is best
Take care of your health and get plenty of rest
No, nothing was delivered
I can't say I sympathize
With what your fate is going to be
Yes, for telling all those lies
No, nothing was delivered
Yes, and someone must explain
That as long as it takes to do this
Then that's how long you'll remain
Nothing is better, nothing is best
Take care of your health and get plenty of rest

Well, I had an old dog and his name was Blue
Yes, I had an old dog and his name was Blue
Well, I had an old dog and his name was Blue
Bet ya five dollars he's a good dog too
Old Blue chased a possum up a holler limb
Blue chased a possum up a holler limb
Blue chased a possum up a holler limb
The possum growled, Blue whined at him
Bye bye, Blue
You good dog, you
Bye bye, Blue
You good dog, you
When old Blue died, he died so hard
He shook the ground in my back yard
We lowered him down with a golden chain
And every link we called his name
Bye bye, Blue
You good dog, you
Bye bye, Blue
You good dog, you
My old Blue was a good old hound
You could hear him hollering miles around
When I get to Heaven first thing I'll do
Is grab my horn and call for Blue

Old John Robertson
Old John Robertson
He wore a Stetson hat
People everywhere would
Laugh behind his back
No one cared to take
Any time to find out
What he was all about
Fear kept them out
Children laughed and played
And didn't know his name
They could tell when he
Was coming just the same
Walking slow with old John's
Crippled wife by his side
Then she sighed, then she died
Magic words from him
Entrancing children's ears
But they laughed at him
When he went to hide his tears
All in vain was no game
For he'd lost an old friend
In the end, in the end
Old John Robertson
He wore a Stetson hat
People everywhere would
Laugh behind his back

Old One Better
Well, she said when she left that a change might do me good
So I took her advice and I did the best I could
I've gone from this to that 'til I'm nothing like I used to be
In fact, everyone says I'm a totally different me
Got a new life but I still like the old one better
It's nice but it just won't ever quite be the same
I have everything a man would want but I can't forget her
Oh, I got a new life but I still like the old one better
I pulled up my roots in the country and I moved uptown
Went from a slower pace to running with a faster crowd
I found a sweet young girl to replace all the love we knew
But I guess there's just some things that you can't improve
Got a new life but I still like the old one better
And it's nice but it just won't ever quite be the same
I have everything a man could want but I can't forget her
And, oh, I got a new life but I still like the old one better

On a Clear Day (You Can See Forever)
On a clear day, rise and look around you
And you'll see who you are
On a clear day, how it will astound you
That the glow of your being outshines every star
You'll feel part of every mountain, sea, and shore
You can hear from far and near
A world you've never heard before
And on a clear day, on that clear day
You can see forevermore
You'll feel part of every mountain, sea, and shore
You can hear from far and near
A world you've never heard before

On Again Off Again
She locks him out, but leaves the key
Where he knows it'll always be
In their secret place
He comes and goes and she never knows
Just where she stands in this crazy game he plays
He's always been this way
On again, off again
It's breakin' her heart again
The way he runs hot and cold
For her it's gettin' old
One day they're flyin' high
The next day he's sayin' goodbye
If things don't change
She just can't go on loving him
On again, off again
She ain't gettin' any younger
And he ain't gettin' any closer
To buyin' her a ring
And every time she brings it up
He does his dance and tells her anything
To keep her on a string
It's On again, off again
It's breakin' her heart again
The way he runs hot and cold
For her it's gettin' old
One day they're flyin' high
The next day he's sayin' goodbye
If things don't change
She just can't go on loving him
On again, off again
One day they're flyin' high
The next day he's sayin' goodbye
If things don't change
She just can't go on loving him
'Cause forever can't begin 'til this thing ends
This on again, off again

Out of Control Raging Fire
Today an old heartache came calling
An old flame I thought died out like some falling star
Instead it's rekindling some memories
That may start an out of control raging fire
That look in your eyes brings back memories
You still have that same smile that once won my heart
The bittersweet feelings still linger
That once fueled our out of control raging fire
An out of control raging fire
Pain has no memory when you burn with desire
The flames grow higher and higher
Till we've reached an out of control raging fire
Inside us the passion is burning
It's too late to stop what we've started tonight
How can we resist this temptation
To restart an out of control raging fire
An out of control raging fire
Pain has no memory when you burn with desire
The flames grow higher and higher
Till we've reached an out of control raging fire
Yes, we've reached an out of control raging fire

Out of This World
You're clear out of this world
When I am looking at you
I hear out of this world
The music that no mortal ever knew
You're right out of a book
The fairy tale I read when I was so high
No amoured knight out of a book
Was more enchanted by a laurel life
And I after waiting so long for the right time
After reaching so long for a star
All at once from the long and lonely nighttime
And despite time, here you are
I'd cry out of this world
If you said we were through
So let me fly out of this world
And spend the next eternity or two with you
After waiting so long for the right time
After reaching so long for a star
And at once from the long and lonely nighttime
And despite time, here you are
I'd cry out of this world
If you said we were through
So let me fly out of this world
And spend the next eternity or two with you
You're clear, out of this world
Out of this world, out of this world

Pale Blue
Oh I love you in the morning
When the sun comes shining through
And I love you in the daylight
When the sheets turn pale blue
Well I want to be your lover
And to have you all alone
But I've always got another
And I haven't got a home
Someday I'll stop my traveling
Settle down with you
And I'll see you in the daylight
And the sheets are pale blue

Paths of Victory
Trails of troubles, roads of battles
Paths of victory we shall walk
The trail is dusty and my road it might be rough
But the better roads are waiting and boys it ain't far off
I walk down by the river, I turn my head up high
And I saw that silver lining that was hanging in the sky
Trails of troubles, roads of battles
Paths of victory we shall walk
The evening dust was rolling, I was walking down the track
The was a one way wind a-blowing, it was blowing at my back
That evening train was rolling, the humming of its wheels
My eyes they saw a better day as I looked across the fields
Trails of troubles, roads of battles
Paths of victory we shall walk
The trail is dusty, the road it might be rough
But the good Lord is awaiting and boys He ain't far off

Pink Flamingos
(wood newton/micki furhman)
I was a rebel in my younger years
I'd...drink with the devil if he bought me a beer
Wore out two pickups just running around
Mama thought i never would settle down
That was before i met sweet irma jean
She made a new man outta me
We got pink flamingos in the front yard
Picture window with a view of wal-mart
Blue collar heaven domestic bliss
It just doesn't get any better than this
We got pink flamingos, pink flamingos, pink flamingos
Sweet irma jean is a den mother now
With a station wagon and a charge account
Bubba junior pitches for his baseball team
Little sister's running for rose bud queen
And me i'm doing good at the used car lot
Is this a great country or what
We got pink flamingos in the front yard
Picture window with a view of wal-mart
Blue collar heaven domestic bliss
It just doesn't get any better than this
We got pink flamingos, pink flamingos, pink flamingos
People slow down when they drive by
They wave and smile but there's envy in their eyes
We ain't rich and won't be for a while
But no doubt about it baby we got style
With got pink flamingos in the front yard
Picture window with a view of wal-mart
Blue collar heaven domestic bliss
It just doesn't get any better than this
With got pink flamingos in the front yard
Picture window with a view of wal-mart
Blue collar heaven domestic bliss
It just doesn't get any better than this
We got pink flamingos
Picture windows

Portrait of Jennie
A Portrait of Jennie
More precious to me
Than a masterpiece
How ever famous it be
The portrait of Jennie
Is etched on my heart
Where her features have been
Sketched from the start
Ah, the color and beauty of life
And the glow of her spirit divine
All cast in heaven's own design
With a portrait of Jennie
I never will part
For there isn't any portrait of Jennie
Except in my heart
For there isn't any portrait of Jennie
Except in my heart

Positively 4th Street
You've got a lotta nerve
To say you are my friend
When I was down
You just stood there grinning
Yeah, you've got a lotta nerve
To say you gotta helping hand to lend
You just want to be on
The side that's winning
I know the reason that
You talk behind my back
I used to be among the crowd
You're in with
Do you take me for such a fool
To think I'd make contact
With the one you hide
What he don't know to begin with
I wish for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
Just for that one moment
I could be you
Yes, I wish for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is
To see you

Prelude to a Kiss
If you hear a song in blue
Like a flower crying for the dew
That was my heart serenading you
My prelude to a kiss
And if you hear a song that grows
From my tender sentimental woes
That was my heart trying to compose
A prelude to a kiss
Though it's just a simple melody
With nothing fancy, nothing much
You could turn it to a symphony
A Schubert tune with a Gershwin touch
Oh, how my love song gently cries
For the tenderness within your eyes
My love is a prelude that never dies
A prelude to a kiss
Though it's just a simple melody
With nothing fancy, nothing much
You could turn it to a symphony
A Schubert tune with a Gershwin touch
Oh, how my love song gently cries
For the tenderness within your eyes
My love is a prelude that never dies
My prelude to a kiss

Pretty Boy Floyd
Well gather round children, a story I will tell
About pretty boy Floyd the outlaw, Oklahoma knew him well
Was in the town of Shawnee on a Saturday afternoon
His wife beside him in a wagon as into town they rode
And along come a deputy sheriff in a manner rather rude
Using vulgar words of language and his wife she overheard
And pretty boy Floyd grabbed a long chain, and the deputy grabbed a gun
And in the fight that followed, he laid that deputy down
Then he ran through the trees and bushes and lived a life of shame
Every crime in Oklahoma was added to his name
He ran through trees and bushes on the Canadian River shore
And many a starving farmer opened up his door
It was in Oklahoma City, it was on a Christmas day
A whole carload of groceries and a letter that did say
You say that I'm an outlaw, you say that I'm a thief
Well, here's a Christmas dinner for the families on relief
As through this life you travel, you meet some funny men
Some rob you with a six-gun, and some with a fountain pen
As through this life you ramble, as through this life you roam
You'll never see an outlaw take a family from their home

Proud of Me
As the sun's coming up
She puts coffee on
Love in a cup
She makes it strong
She kisses my cheek
And I'm on my way
With her on my mind
I work hard all day
Just trying to keep
Her proud of me
It's hard to believe
A girl like her fell
For someone with grease
Under his fingernails
Like a tattoo
Soap can't wash off
It's easy to see
I'm nobody's boss
I'm just trying to keep
Her proud of me
I don't know what she sees
In me that she loves
Oh, but I'm gonna do my best
To see she always does
I don't know what she sees
In me that she loves
Oh, but I'm gonna do my best

I can't give her much
But I think that she knows

Psychodrama City
At a dance, I'm standing there
Suddenly approached by a lady fair
Said to me, “It ain't no lie
If I can't have you I'd surely die”
Psychodrama city, don't need none today
My good friends say to me
“World will end soon, wait you'll see”
Said, "I don't care, won't be here
Going to Florida for a half a year”
Psychodrama city, don't need none today
Me and my friends got on a plane
One of my friends got off again
To this day don't know why
He got on at all, if he didn't really want to fly
Psychodrama city, don't need none today
Me and my friend went over my friends house to see
Me and my friends on his TV before the night is over
I saw six murders, two riots and a war
Not going to watch my friends TV, no more
No psychodrama city, don't need none today

Put Your Hand in Mine
He sat up on the bed and he watched me packing
He already knew why I was leavin'
I took what I needed but I sure left a lot still hanging
But I figured Id get it come the weekend
He said, “Daddy when you get there
Are you gonna have a refrigerator?"
I kinda laughed and said I guess I will
Then he handed me a tracing of his hand
On the back of a piece of paper and a magnet
And my heart stood still when he said
Put your hand in mine and I'll be there anytime
When it feels like you could use a friend
I'll be there to lift you up again
You can reach out to me anytime
And put your hand in mine
I drove past the Hardin Baptist Church
Though it wasn't really on the way to my hotel
Beside me on the seat I was looking at five small fingers
When I heard the chapel bell and it took me
Back another life ago when our hearts were open
Oh, back when we could still agree
Back when the future that we had was full of hope and
You and I we got down on our knees and said
Put your hand in mine and I'll be there anytime
When it feels like you could use a friend
I'll be there to lift you up again
You can reach out to me anytime
And put your hand in mine
I couldn't even stay away one night
I noticed you left on the light
And I've only got one thing to say
If you're not too tired and it's not too late
Put your hand in mine and I'll be here all the time
When it feels like you could use a friend
I'll be here to lift you up again
Would you reach out to me one more time
And put your hand in mine?
Would you reach out to me just one more time
And put your hand in mine?

Redneck Roses
Not so long ago on his way home from work
He’d stop by the side of the road
Step out of that old beat up ford
That he drove
And he’d walk around, searchin’ the ground
For a handful of wildflower blooms
Thinkin’ of where he’d be soon
There with her
She called them redneck roses
’Cause that’s what they were
A simple gift of love from a country boy to his girl
She called them redneck roses
They didn't cost a dime
But they brought a smile to her face every time
Now it’s years down the line, she sits home alone
It’s the usual end of the day
Once again, he’s still workin' late
And never calls
They've got a house on a hill, no problems with bills
And a baby that’s on the way
But her heart longs for those yesterdays
And his love
She called them redneck roses
’Cause that’s what they were
A simple gift of love from a country boy to his girl
She called them redneck roses
They didn't cost a dime
But they brought a smile to her face every time
They could still put a smile on her face
If he only had the time

Come my love with me
Across the sea
Return to paradise
All in life worthwhile
Is on that isle
Return to paradise
Velvet moon above
Evil turns to love
Love ever more
Come my love and find
Your peace of mind
Return to paradise
Velvet moon above
Evil turns to love
Love ever more
Come with me and find
Your peace of mind
Return to paradise
To paradise, to paradise
To paradise, to paradise
To paradise, to paradise
To paradise, to paradise

Right About Now
Right about now she's brushin' her hair
Slippin' on her gown, wishin' I was there
She just hates these lonely nights when I'm gone
Right about now she's turnin' back the sheets
Askin' God to watch over me
She'd never dream what I'm thinkin' about right about now
Right about now temptation's knockin' on my door
I'm a one step away from doin' what I've never done before
I can hear the devil whisper, go ahead, she'll never find out
But if I did her wrong I could never feel right about now
Right about now she's reachin' for the phone
She knows it's me callin' home
I can almost see the smile on her face
Right about now if she only knew
What a lonely man could do
And it would break her heart in two right about now
Right about now temptation's knockin' on my door
I'm a one step away from doin' what I've never done before
I can hear the devil whisper, go ahead, she'll never find out
But if I did her wrong I could never feel right about now
Yeah, I can hear the devil whisper, go ahead, she'll never find out
But if I did her wrong I could never feel right about now

Rock 'n Roll Star
So you want to be a rock and roll star?
Then listen now to what I say.
Just get an electric guitar
Then take some time
And learn how to play.
And with your hair swung right,
And your pants too tight
It's gonna be all right.
Then it's time to go downtown
Where the agent man won't let you down.
Sell your soul to the company
Who are waiting there to sell plastic ware.
And in a week or two
If you make the charts
The girls 'll tear you apart.
Was it paid for your riches and fame,
Was it all a strange game?
You're a little insane.
The money, the game, and the public acclaim,
Don't forget what you are,
You're a rock and roll star.
La, La, La, La, La................
