Keb' Mo' (born Kevin Moore, October 3, 1951) is an American blues singer, guitarist, and songwriter, currently living in Nashville, Tennessee.
From early on he had an appreciation for the blues and gospel music. By adolescence he was already an accomplished guitarist.
Keb' Mo' started his musical career playing the steel drums and upright bass in a calypso band. He moved on to play in a variety of blues and backup bands throughout the 1970s and 1980s. He first started recording in the early 1970s with Jefferson Airplane violinist Papa John Creach through an R&B group. Creach hired him when Moore was just twenty-one years old; Moore appeared on four of Creach's albums: Filthy!, Playing My Fiddle for You, I'm the Fiddle Man and Rock Father.
Around that time Moore was also a staff writer for A&M Records, and arranged demos for Almo - Irving music. Keb' Mo's early debut, Rainmaker, was released on Chocolate City Records, a subsidiary of Casablanca Records, in 1980. He was further immersed in the blues with his long stint in the Whodunit Band, headed by Bobby "Blue" Bland producer Monk Higgins. Moore jammed with Albert Collins and Big Joe Turner and emerged as an inheritor of a guarded tradition and as a genuine original.
Lullaby baby blues
Time to kick off your walkin' shoes
And hug the pillow on your bed
And lay down your sleepy head
Hush now no need to talk
Hear the ticking of the clock
Stars that twinkle, stars that shine
Dream and you'll have wings
Goodnight baby blues
Close your eyes baby blues
The moonlit sky watches over you
So close your eyes baby blues
Lullaby baby blues
Time to kick off your walkin' shoes
And hug the pillow on your bed
And lay down your sleepy head
Goodnight baby blues
Close your eyes baby blues
The moonlit sky watches over you
My baby she wrote me a letter
She didn't call me on the phone
Five little words was all she wrote
She said "See ya later I'm gone"
She had no explanation
About why she had to go
Well I can't take a joke,
But I can take a hint
She don't love me no more
(Chorus:)
But if nobody loves you
And you feel like dust
On an empty shelf
Just remember
You can love yourself
My mother says
She loves me
But you know
She could be jivin' too
And everybody's always criticizing
Everything that I do
I work 9 to 5, do the best I can
Try to please the boss
I bought a big ol' house,
And a brand new car
And then he laid me off
(Chorus)
Everytime I meet a lady
I wanna try to get to know
Either I'm too small
Or she's too tall
She's rich and I'm po'
So I called my old friend
Hazel Mae
Asked her out for a little date
She said: “I'm married now
And I got three little kids,
I don't care much about cocaine
And you never see me jumpin out no airplane
Wine and whisky don't gimme no thrill
And I don't care nothin 'bout them nasty little pills
But women now that's a whole nother thing
You won't see me wastin all the money I made
And you ain't gonna never see me drive no escalade
If you're looking for a handout you wastin' your time
I wouldn't give a crutch to a cripple, I wouldn't give a bum a dime
But women that's a whole nother thing
Now when you talk about your women that's a whole nother thing
I like 'em big tall short fat thin and in between
I like 'em when they're gentle and I like 'em when they're mean
I like 'em when they whisper but I love 'em when they scream
(Don't be tellin me what to do with my money
I know a good investment when I see one
Look over there walkin' by look at that ... )
I don't buy stock, I don't place no bets
And I won't be smokin' none of them stanky cigarettes
Only one think make me throw my money away
And that's a little TLC and a little T&A;
But women that's a whole nother thing
I'm gonna say it again - women that's a whole nother thing
play the blues somebody...

I see them bloom for me and you
and I think to myself, what a wonderful world
The colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands, sayin' "How do you do?"
They're really saying "I love you"
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll ever know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
All the colours of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shakin' hands sayin' "How do you do"
They're really saying "I love you"
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than ill ever know
and I think to myself what a wonderful world
Walk back in
Sometimes I wonder what my heart’s supposed to do.
Yesterday she needed me, today she says we’re through.
She ripped my heart to pieces, tore my soul apart.
And now she wants to know how to get back in my heart.
Well you don’t have to beg, you don’t have to cry.
Just walk back in and dry your weepin’ eyes.
Don’t have to run baby, don’t have to crawl.
Just walk back in, we can start all over again.
She walked in the kitchen, handed me a note.
She said I’ve been such a fool boy, that’s all that she
wrote.
She said life ain’t worth living, without you by my side
She stood there trembling, asking me if my love had died?
You don’t have to beg, don’t have to cry.
Just walk back in, and dry your weepin’ eyes.
You don’t have to run, don’t have to crawl.
Just walk back in, we can start all over again…..baby.
Tonight we’re gonna work it out, yes we will.
Welcome home baby, I’m so glad we worked it out.
Victims of Comfort
No rocket's gonna fly that high,
There's no escaping the enemy, It's you & I,
We've poisoned up the water,
We're chokin' on the air,
Let's stop before it gets too late,
Or is it already too late?
Is it already too late?
For the victims of comfort,
Got no one else to blame,
We're just the victims of comfort,
Connosuiers of pain.
It's a technological merry-go-round,
Dangerous illusions buried under the ground,
And everyone likes a party,
But know one wants to clean,
Well I'd like to see a change somehow
But I'm a little busy right now,
Just a little busy right now.
I'm just a victim of comfort,
I got no one else to blame,
I'm just a victim of comfort,
A Cryin' shame.
Oh and what do we got to lose?
Everything.
Yes and what do we stand to gain?
Everything, so lets try together,
Before we have to cry together,
It's too soon to die together.
I'm just a victim of comfort,
Got no one else to blame,
I'm just a victim of comfort,
Connosuier of pain.
We were victims of comfort
Got no one else to blame,
I'm just a victim of comfort,
You've been wishing all of your life
For a woman that'll love you
Tell the truth and treat you right
And you've been alone crying yourself to sleep
Now you got a girl who can rock your world
Put a smile on your face and a love you're gonna keep
This is the beginning are you ready to learn
To love somebody for a lifetime
Wake up it's your turn.
Chorus:
So tell me now that you got a whole enchilada
Now that you gotta,
What you're gonna do, what you gonna do
Are you gonna be any better
Than the man you had you be to get her
Oh now that you gotta
What you gonna do, what you gonna do, what you gonna do.
Oh yeah
Are you ready to get involved
Where your anticipation is needed to get things resolved
We all get used to living by ourselves
But now you're dealing with a situation
That involves someone else
Well it's about to get different
You're gonna need a new device
Cause she's gonna open up your mind
And open up your life.
Chorus:
So tell me now that you got a whole enchilada
Now that you gotta,
What you're gonna do, what you gonna do
Are you gonna be any better
Than the man you had you be to get her
Oh now that you gotta
What you gonna do, what you gonna do, what you gonna do.
And this is the beginning are you ready to learn
To love somebody for a lifetime
Wake up it's your turn.
[Chorus:]
Are you gonna be any better
Than the man you had you be to get her
Oh now that you gotta
Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'.
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside
And it is ragin'.
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'.
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin'.
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'.
The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is
Rapidly fadin'.
And the first one now
Will later be last
Heavenly father up above
Have mercy on me
After 7 years of bad bad love
I finally got free
I don’t mean to seem ungrateful
You answered my prayers
And father if you’re able
Don’t let me do the same damn thing all over again
You get the fever
You get the itch
And you forget about the mess you were in
You forget about the money the lawyers and the pain
And do the same damn thing all over again
Oh mighty father great and good
You need to be in my shoes
You let me fall in love just like before
And now I’m stepping in a big pile of the blues
But now the honeymoon is over
Let’s not pretend
I guess I never
Learned my lesson
I did the same damn thing all over again
You get the fever
You get the itch
And you forget about the mess you were in
You forget about the money the lawyers and the pain
And do the same damn thing all over again
Mother Mary, father Joe
I need to talk to your son
He had troubles just like mine
And he’s the chosen one
So if I ever go to heaven, will that be the end?
Or will I fall for some sweet little angel
And do the same damn thing all over again
You get the fever
You get the itch
And you forget about the mess you were in
You forget about the money, the lawyers and the pain
I was down for so long
Everything I did was wrong
And I found fault
In everyone but me
I was hurt and alone
I could not find my way home
Broke-down and hungry
And too tired to moan
[Chorus]
Then I heard somebody calling my name
Saying ain't no need to be shamed
I found out that the door was always open
I was trapped in my mind
A prisoner of my own design
Lost in a world
A world of confusion
I was there by myself
Couldn't find no help no where else
Thought I'd call up the hotline
But there was nobody there
[Chorus]
[Instrumental Bridge]
When I die
I won't be gone
I'll be living in the everlasting
While I'm here
I hope that I can find
The answers to the questions
Life keeps asking
Cause in the end, it's a new beginning
When I dream
I'm dreaming of a place
And a knowing that's impossible to learn
It it's here
Right before your eyes
Everywhere you go, everywhere you turn
Early in the morning
Late at night
Cause in the end
It's a new beginning
In my life
There's beauty everywhere
On the mountain high
And the valley so low
But when I leave
And my soul flys away
Somewhere to a place
That nobody really knows
When I get there
I probably won't write no letter
You just got to come on
And see for yourself
Cause in the end
Its a new beginning
Just gotta come on in
And see for yourself
Cause in the end
Remember when we first met
I was so excited just to get to know you
Oh baby just to know you
I was just a little bit shy
God willing I was ready
To try to show you
Oh just to show you
I felt a little funny
But it was really no joke
I wanted to prove my love
In every word that I spoke
(Chorus:)
But the action
Speaks louder
You know the action
Speaks louder than
The word
The action,
Louder than the word
I loved you just the way you were
Somehow I had to find the nerve to tell you
Oh baby just to tell you
So I did what a man must do
I walked right over to you
And I was asking
Baby, lets go dancing
I felt a little guilty
But I had committed no crime
I wanted to love you
Love you and love you
For a long time
(Chorus)
(Bridge:)
I can't wait until I'm holding you
And there's no doubt in your mind
You're the one and only one for me
Only one for me
I'm gonna prove my love no matter how long that it
takes
The feelings I have for you they're no mistake
It ain't you
No it ain't me
That's just not the way
That love's supposed to be
And it's just no good
No it ain't right
For you to be sittin' all alone
Just cryin' every night
You're down on your knees
Scared he's gonna leave
But if you really wanna know
You're gonna have to let him go
'Cause that's not love
It don't feel that bad
'Cause that's not love
It don't feel that sad
No that's not love
'Cause you don't feel good inside
I don't know what it is
But that's not love
Inside your heart
It's always rainin'
And you're oh so tired
Tired of your own complaining
This is for real
It ain't no game
You can't measure your love
By the depths of your pain
And You're down on your knees
Scared he's gonna leave
But if you really wanna know
You're gonna have to let him go
'Cause that's not love
It don't feel that bad
No that's not love
It don't feel that sad
No that's not love
'Cause you don't feel good inside
I don't know what it is
But that's not love
And You're down on your knees
Scared he's gonna leave
But if you really wanna know
You're gonna have to let him go
'Cause that's not love
It don't feel that bad
No that's not love
It don't feel that sad
That's not love
'Cause you don't feel good inside
I don't know what it is
But that's not love
It's no secret, I don't care
Gonna shout it out everywhere
I love my baby
Hot, cold, fast or slow
I love my baby,
Gonna tell everybody I know
In the evening, in my bed
I hear voices in my head
They say never, never ever
Let her go
Well I love my baby,
Gonna tell everybody I know
Yes I love my baby,
Gonna tell everybody I know
Other women
Don't mean a thing to me
You can pick 'em all up
Drop 'em all in the sea
If I got no money, she don't care
She'll open up her pocketbook and pay my fare
I know she loves me
Up, down, high or low
Well I love my baby,
Gonna tell everybody I know
Yes I love my baby,
Gonna tell everybody I know
Hey y'all
Other women
Don't mean a thing to me
You can pick 'em all up
Drop 'em all in the sea
'Cause if I got no money, you know she don't care
She'll open up her pocketbook and pay my fare
I know she loves me
Up, down, high or low
Well I love my baby,
Gonna tell everybody I know
Yes I love my baby,
Gonna tell everybody I know
She's a sweet thing
She's a fine thing
She's a loving thing
Gonna tell everybody I know
Tell everybody I know
I got a suitcase, I take it everywhere I go
I got a suitcase baby, I take it everywhere I go
It's just a big old bag of trouble, trouble all I know
I met a girl, fell in love
And our love was true
I met a girl, fell in love
Ooh, our love was true
Well and I found out, Lord she had a big old suitcase
Lord, so we put our bags together, made a home for two
People we put our bags together, you know made a home
for two
Then along came the children, gave them all a suitcase
Well the house got too small, the bags got too big
We was holdin'on to everythin', whatever said or did
Well I complained about the salt, in the black eyed
peas
Then she put her hand on her hip and she told me to
leave
And take my suitcase, and get on out that door
You gonna hear from my lawyer, I can't take it no more
I had to get down on my knees, beg her to let me stay
I had to get down on my knees and beg her to let me
stay
I said baby, we got a whole lot of baggage
Let's call somebody and have it hauled all away
I got a suitcase, I take it everywhere I go
People I got a suitcase, I take it everywhere I go
O darling my dear
please let me hold you near
you waited long time
while i made up my mind
i can't believe
that you're still there for me
i stumble
i fell
and now i'm here to tell you
i need you right now
i'll stay and we'll work it out
i can't believe that you're still there for me
kept on forgiving me
you gave me everything
i know now
i'm sure
my heart has found a cure
i'm ready
i'm strong
but you knew that all along
i can't believe
that you're still there for me
o darling my dear
please let me hold you near
this is where i'm at
i'm gonna learn how to love like that
i can't believe that you're still there for me
Standin' at the station
Teardrops in my eyes
Standin' at the station
Wonderin' why
You love him more than you love me
You wanna marry him
Make a family
That's why I'm standin' at the station
Teardrops in my eyes
Well I'm standin' at the station
Sad as a man can be
And you're gazing through the window
Waving good-bye to me
Well I know you got to do what you got to do
But you're leaving me
And I'm loving you
That's why I'm standin' at the station
Teardrops in my eyes
Yes I'm standin' at the station
Teardrops in my eyes
Come back home baby, I need ya
When I was a young boy
Well they tried to tell me
That I was movin'
Movin' way too fast
And I knew everything
About everything
But I really didn't wanna listen
To a bunch of old folks talkin' trash
So I got out on the highway
Pedal to the floor
Smokin' and drinkin'
And a whole lot more
But when they came to collect me
Out of that jail
They said boy next time
You get no bail
(Chorus:)
You better slow down
You better slow down
Woke up one mornin'
Ooh to a hunger
I moaned
And I began to twitch
Felt the need
For some lovin'
A little sweet somebody
To scratch my itch
Momma said I don't mean to pry
But I'm here to advise you
Seeds like to grow
When you put 'em in fertilizer
(Chorus)
Doin' my own thing
I'm all grown up
Yes I am
Little bit older
But I feel like a young buck
I'm ridin' down the highway
In a brand new mini van
Wife and kids screamin'
Ooh God I'm a family man
I'm outta mind
Losin´ control
I could leave tomorrow
But there ain't nowhere to go
When the music starts to playin
She slides out on the floor
Dancing without a partner
Swaying on the two and four
There's a rythym in her footsteps
And a flower in her hair
A smile on her face
Cause she's in a place
Where she don't have a care
She ain't looking for no lover
She ain't looking for a romance
She just wants to dance
She just wants to dance
Yeah she just wants to dance
Ooo she just wants to dance
Well she's moving kinda lazy
And it's obvious to me
This little girl ain't crazy
She's as wild as she is free
She can feel it in her fingers
And it moves on down her spine
And when it hits her hips
She parts her lips
And you know she's feeling fine
She ain't looking for no lover
She ain't looking for a romance
She just wants to dance
She just wants to dance
Yeah she just wants to dance
She just wants to dance
Oh go on get it girl
She ain't looking for no lover
She ain't looking for a romance
She just wants to dance
She just wants to dance
Get out the way and let the girl dance
Yeah she just wants to dance
Yeah she just wants to
Slide along the floor
She wanna shuffle her shoes and shake her hips
She wanna wave her hands in the air
She wanna shake that hanky
Yeah
But she don't want no hanky panky
Yeah she just wants to dance
Leave her alone
You don’t need no fancy tricks
Painted eyes or glossy lips
I love you just the way you are
Hope you don’t mind my beat up car
You don’t need to change your dress
You don’t need to change your shoes
Don’t try to hide your natural looks
Forget about the cover let me read the book
Don’t get me wrong I like them heels
But the way I feel is the way I feel
You don’t need to change your dress
You don’t need to change your shoes
Go ahead be wild and free
you don’t have to shave yo’ legs for me.
Hunnybabe don’t starve yourself
You’re lookin good you’re lookin well
And I’m proud to have you by my side
Glad to have you in my life
You don’t have to clean my house
You don’t have to wash my clothes
Go ahead be wild and free
Cause you don’t have to shave yo’ legs for me
You’re an angel
You don’t have to read them magazines
You already know how to get to me
Just be yourself and I will too
That’s all we really have to do
You don’t have to be ashamed
You don’t have to hide your knees
Go ahead be wild and free
You don’t have to shave yo legs for me.
Now go ahead be wild and free
He’s a King without a castle or a crown
And every night he lays his body down
In a different town but one thing stays the same
Everybody knows his name.
People may laugh or cry as his stories are told
To tell the truth like this a man must be bold
And the people are glad for the things he shares
Everybody knows he cares.
[CHORUS]
By the light of the moon comes a flood of emotion
Riley B King he’s the king of the ocean
He’s royal blue like the deep blue sea
Riley B King
Out of the darkness and into the light
To fight the peaceful warrior’s fight
Such a beautiful sight and the way you feel
Watching him with Lucille
And the heart of the man is open wide
And he closes his eyes and looks inside
To a love of the world to the song he sings
Giving it everything.
[CHORUS]
[CHORUS]
Don't stand there lyin', straight to my face
You not a lawyer, you got no case
And your alibi, it don't make sense
You're just a criminal, I got all the evidence
And they say the truth will set you free
But the less you say, the better off you'll be
You have the right to remain silent
You know you're guilty, don't even try it
Don't lie, I won't buy it
Just walk away and remain silent
I'm the judge, I'm the jury
Justice will be swift, there'll be no mercy
The punishement will fit the crime
One thing for sure, you're gon' do some time
And they say the truth will set you free
But the less you say, the better off you'll be
You have the right to remain silent
You know you're guilty, don't even try it
Don't lie, I won't buy it
Just walk away and remain silent
Anything you say, can and will be used against you
And you don't need anymore help, incriminatin' yourself
You have the right to remain silent
You know you're guilty, don't even try it
Don't lie, I won't buy it
Just walk away and remain silent
You have the right to remain silent
You know you're guilty, don't even try it
Don't lie, I won't buy it
Just walk away and remain silent
Yes, you got the right to remain silent
You know you're guilty, don't even try it
Don't lie, I won't buy it
Takin' it easy, moving slow
It's always calm just before the storm, you know
Along she came, with a brand new season
Since we've been together
There's been a change in the weather
(Chorus:)
She's a rainmaker
She makes the rain fall from my eyes
She's a rainmaker
She makes a grown man wanna cry
Well, I never thought
That a tear could fall
From the eyes of a man
Who never even cried at all
Now, I've been happy
I've been blue
For the change in the season
(Chorus)
The lightning flashes, the thunder roars
There's no stoppin' the wind
The tide is washing
Her a path to my door
I've never ever loved like this before
Storm is over, the sun is bright
There's a rainbow in my life
Clouds are gone, the sky is clear
And since we've been together
There's been a change in the weather
Authors: K.Moore, G.Graper
You had style, you had class
you had everything to make a love last
you had grace, you had charm
you had me hanging on your arm
when I found out you were a fake
you rared up and bit me like a snake
and I was ready to let go
and let all my feelings show.
Chorus:
Tell me why you wanna be so cold
why you wanna be so mean
you've gone and let your true colors show
you're a perpetual blues machine.
We could've been just fine
if you'd have only been all mine
'cause I was for real, but you did not know
that you were steppin' on my heart
as you were walking out the door.
But now I know who you are
and it's a damn good thing we didn't get too far
'cause I'm not the one who's right for you.
You need a man to do your rolling
like you want him to do.
Chorus
Now you've gone, and I'm glad
that we didn't let it get too bad
you know I tried to make it go
but there was just no way to tell you so.
All the world over, so easy to see
People everywhere just wanna be free
Listen, people listen, that's the way it should be
Deep in the valley, people got to be free
You should see, what a lovely, lovely world this could
If everyone learned out to live together
But it seems to me such an easy, easy thing this should
Why can't you and me learn to love one another
All the world over, so easy to see
People everywhere just wanna be free
I can't understand it, so simple to me
People everywhere just got to be free
If there's a man who is down and needs a helping hand
All it takes is you to understand and to see him
through.
Well it seems to me, we got to solve it individually
And I'll do unto you what you do to me
There'll be shoutin' from the mountains on out to sea
No two ways about it, people have to be free
Ask me my opinion, my opinion will be
'Natural situation for a man to be free
Oh, what a feelin's just come over me
Love can move a mountain, make a blind man see
Everybody's singin', now let's go see
Deep in the valley, now they ought to be free
All the world over, so easy to see
People everywhere just wanna be free
Listen, people listen, that's the way it should be
Deep in the valley, people got to be free
- - (Call/Response) - -
All the world over, so easy to see
(See that train over there)
People everywhere just wanna be free
(that's the train of freedom)
I can understand it, so simple to me
(It's about to arrive in a minute)
People everywhere, just got to be free
(You know it's long overdue)
(Repeat and Fade)
All the world over, so easy to see
People everywhere just wanna be free
Listen, people listen, that's the way it should be
Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
People come and
People go
They take and they give
Build you up
Just to let you down
That's just the way it is
All I need is one friend
To get me through the day
One friend
That never goes away
Only one friend
To understand
And never let me down
I've been in love
I've been in pain
I'm a sinner
And a saint
No matter where I am
Or what I do
It's you I appreciate
All I need is one friend
To get me through the day
One friend
That never goes away
Only one friend
To understand
And never let me down
Can't nobody love you
More than you love yourself
And as long as I've got my one good friend
I don't need nobody else
All I need is one friend
To get me through the day
One friend
That never goes away
Only one friend
To understand
If I never get to heaven I don't care
I been down to the crossroads
And there ain't no devil down there
They got the whole town shakin'
Out in L.A.
They got the blues in Mississippi
I'm going back some day
And I ain't gonna fuss and fight
I ain't stayin' up all night
Worryin' 'bout the things that I can't change
Let everybody think I'm a little bit strange
(Chorus:)
´Cause I love Muddy Water
It's dirty but it feels alright
I love Muddy Waters
I'm ready for the blues tonight-ooh yes I am
On my way to California
My old car broke down
I left it sittin' right there
And I walked on into town
I found a cheap hotel
Got a twenty dollar room
And when I woke up the next day
It was four o'clock in the afternoon
Well I ain't gonna fuss and fight
I ain't stayin' up all night
Worryin' 'bout the things that I can't change
Let everybody think I'm a little bit strange
(Chorus)
Ooh why should I worry all night and day
Whatever it is
It's gonna be ok
Daddy came around every once in awhile
But momma, she was there all the time
And summertime in Compton
Was not like TV
But we were right there
Where we needed to be
And the Thurmond boys
On peach street
With only their dad
So proud of themselves
And that old Pontiac they had
And miss brooks her bible
And her three little boys
At the double rock
Baptist church
Makin' a joyful noise
(Chorus:)
Well there's more than
One way home
Ain't no right way
Ain't no wrong
And whatever road you
Might be on
You find your own way
'Cause there's more than
One way home
Got me a job at the grocery store
Workin' weekdays after
School from 5 to 9
Tommy, John and Charlie were
The neighborhood stars
With their midsize homes,
And their big fancy cars
And when the eagle flied on Friday
I'd go out and play
Wastin' time with Otis
Out on the dock of the bay
And my ticket to adventure
Was a ride on the bus
Different places,
Different faces
But they were just like us

I REALLY NEED TO SEE YOU
MOMMY CAN I COME HOME
MOMMY CAN I COME HOME
MOMMY CAN I
Oh momma, where's my daddy
Why don't he ever come around
Momma, where's my daddy
Is he nowhere to be found
Momma, where's my daddy
Can we call him on the phone
Does he ever think about us
Or does he have a heart of stone
Momma what's the matter
Why's there water in your eyes
Do you need him as much as I do
I love you momma, please don't cry
Where does he come from
What does he look like
Does he have a face like mine
Is he ever comin back here
And why'd he leave us all behind
Momma when did you and daddy get married
Was it in 19 and 83
“Son, your daddy and I were married
But he just wasn't married to me“
Oh momma, where's my daddy
Why don't he ever come around
Momma, where's my daddy
And I followed her to the station, with her suitcase in
my hand,
And I followed her to the station, with her suitcase in
my hand.
Well, it's hard to tell, it's hard to tell, when all your
love's in vain,
All my love's in vain.
When the train rolled up to the station, I looked her in
the eye,
When the train rolled up to the station, and I looked her
in the eye.
Well, I was lonesome, I felt so lonesome, and I could not
help but cry.
All my love's in vain.
When the train, it left the station, there was two lights
on behind,
When the train, it left the station, there was two lights
on behind,
Well, the blue light was my baby, and the red light was
my mind.
All my love's in vain.
Uumh, Willie Mae, Uumh, Willie Mae, Uumh uumh,, all my
I love the way you love me,
An' I love the way you comb your hair.
I love the way you love me baby,
Love the way you comb your hair.
If it was left up to me baby,
You wouldn't never get to go no where
Hey sweet mama, baby don't you go too far.
Hey sweet mama, baby don't you go too far.
I wanna know where you is every minute,
Who you're with and where you are.
I love you baby so please don't you
Leave me here all alone,
I can't stand it baby when you
Leave me here all alone.
So where ever you decide to go baby,
Just don't stay gone too long.
..........guitar solo........
Love you baby, I just can't leave you alone.
You know I Love you baby, And I just can't leave you alone.
I love you baby jus' like a, jus' like a dog loves a bone.
I'm gon' wrap my arms around you
Squeeze you 'til I cry.
I'm gon' wrap my arms around you
Squeeze you 'til I cry...Yes I am.
Girl I'm gon' keep on lovin' you baby
'Til the day I die.....
(Huh)
I'm looking out my window
Feeling kinda blue
I aint heard from my baby
Did she find somebody new
So I called up her number
And her number had changed
So I climbed up to the mountain
And I screamed out her name
I said hey, hey, hey, hey
My, my, Loola-loo
Loola-loo don't leave me
I will do anything for you
Loola-loo you make me feel so fine
Loola-loo I need you
Don't take your love away
Loola-loo, oh woman don't make me cry
Don't make me cry
I stood out on the corner
I walked up and down the street
Looking for my Loola
With that smile so nice and sweet.
I'm not going to hide it
My love just keeps on growing
Cos she looks so good to me
Wether she's coming or she's going
I said hey, hey, hey, hey
My, my, Loola-loo
Loola-loo don't leave me
I will do anything for you
Loola-loo you make me feel so fine
Loola-loo I need you
Don't take your love away
Loola-loo, oh woman don't make me cry
Don't make me cry
Well maybe she just needs some time alone
Or maybe my little Loola's heart
Has suddenly turned to stone
I cant give up on Loola
I've got to take a stand
So I wrote this little letter
And I gave to the postman
It said Baby, please call me
Please drop me a line
Cmon throw an old dog a bone
I need to know if you're still mine
I said hey, hey, hey, hey
My, my, Loola-loo
Loola-loo don't leave me
I will do anything for you
Loola-loo you make me feel so fine
Loola-loo I need you
Don't take your love away
Loola-loo, oh woman don't make me cry
Don't make me cry
My, my, Loola-loo
Loola loo
Let's go drifin through the trees
Let's go sailing on the sea
Let's go dancing on the juke-join floor
And leave our troubles all behind, have a party
So easily forgotten, are the most important things
Like the melody and the moonlight in your eyes
And a song that lasts forever
Each song getting better all the time
Life is beautiful, life is wonderous
Every star above shining just for us
Life is beautiful, on a stormy night
Somewhere in the world the sun is shining bright
I get crazy, so afraid
That I might lose you some fine day
And I'll be nothing but a tired old man
And I don't wanna be without you at the party
So easily forgotten, the most important thing
Is that I love you - I do
And I want to spend my days and nights
Walking through this crazy world with you
Life is beautiful, life is wonderous
Every star above shining just for us
Life is beautiful, on a stormy night
Somewhere in the world the sun is shining bright
(inst verse)
So easily forgotten, the most important thing
Is that I love you - I do
And I want to spend my days and nights
Walking through this crazy world with you
(that's right baby)
Life is beautiful, life is wonderous
Every star above shining just for us
Life is beautiful, on a stormy night
Somewhere in the world the sun is shining bright
You say,
You want to get over.
What are you gonna do?
Watch the world go by
In a corner of the room?
I know,
None of my business.
But there's something I need to say,
If you could see you
The way I see you
You'd start flying on your own.
Step aside and . . .
Refrain:
Let your light shine.
Let your love show
It's a short ride
Down the long road.
When the rains come
And the winds blow
Let your light shine
Wherever you go.
This world is ready and waiting
For you to break on through.
It's time to recognize,
To realize,
You're the only one like you.
Step on up,
Step into your greatness.
Don't be afraid.
There's a place where you will rise up to;
No one else could do what you do.
Get out of the way
Refrain
Get out of the way
It's the last fair deal goin' down,
last fair deal goin' down
It's the last fair deal goin' down, good Lord,
on that Gulfport Island Road1
Ida Belle, don't you cry this time
Ida Belle, don't you cry this time
If you cry about a nickel, you'll die 'bout a dime
I wouldn't cry, but the money it ain't mine
My captain 's so mean on me
My captain's so mean on me
My captain's so mean on me, good Lord,
on that Gulfport Island Road
Workin' my way back home
Workin' my way back home
I'm workin' my way back home, good Lord,
on that Gulfport Island Road
It's the last fair deal goin' down, last fair deal goin'
down
It's the last fair deal goin' down, good Lord,
on that Gulfport Island Road
On that Gulfport Island Road
I got a kindhearted woman, do anything in this world for
I got a kindhearted woman, do anything in this world for
But these evil-hearted women, man, they will not let me
I love my baby, my baby don't love me
I love my baby, ooooh, my baby don't love me
But I really love that woman, can't stand to leave her be
Ain't but the one thing, makes Mister Johnson drink1
I's worried about2 how you treat me, baby, I begin to
think
Oh babe, my life don't feel the same
You breaks my heart, when you call Mister So-and-So's
name
She's a kindhearted woman, she studies evil all the time
She's a kindhearted woman, she studies evil all the time
Two cars, three kids, six phones
A whole lot of confusion up here in my home
Five-hundred stations on the TV screen
Five-hundred versions of the same ol' thing
Y'all know it's crazy
And it's drivin' me insane
Well, I don't wanna be a superman
I just wanna go somewhere, use my hands
And keep it simple
Oh real simple
You know I called my doctor on the telephone
The lines were open, but there was nobody home
Press one, press two, press pound, press three
Why can't somebody just pick up the phone and talk to
Y'all know it's crazy
You know it's driving me insane
I don't wanna be a superman
I just wanna go somewhere, use my hands
And keep it simple
(Yes I do)
Real simple
(Play the blues)
Well I went down to the local coffee store
The menu went from the ceiling all the way down to the
floor
Decaf, cappuccino, or latte said the cashier
I said gimme a small cup of coffee and let me get the
hell up outta here
Y'all know it's crazy
Oh it's driving me insane
Well, I don't wanna be a superman
I just wanna go somewhere, use my hands
And keep it simple
Oh lord, real simple
Well now I don't wanna be a superman
I just wanna go somewhere, use my hands
And keep it simple
Real simple
Hello my old friend
It's been awhile
All our old clothes
Are back in style
We went our separate ways,
Only to return
To face a lesson
We failed to learn
We didn't understand the truth
We were blinded by the eyes of youth
But time kept on moving
And a change has come
You think that I don't know
Where you're coming from
Well I feel just like you
And I cry just like you
But I heal just like you
And under my skin
I'm just like you
You gave your love and your innocence
And they took away your confidence
You'renot those women
I'm not those men
Put your arms around me
I am your friend
'Cause I feel just like you
And I cry just like you
But I heal just like you
And under my skin
I'm just like you...
You and everybody else
When I get hurt
I cry for help
And I've got secrets
That god only knows
And god knows I feel...
Just like you
And I cry just like you
But I heal just like you
And under my skin
I'm just like you
I feel just like you
And i cry just like you
I heal just like you
And i break down just like you
I feel just like you...
And i cry just like you
But im weak just like you
And under my skin...
Christmas time, it comes but once a year
Bells are ringing and the families all hear
All the children wanna help decorate the tree
And many lots of nice presents under there for you and
Oh, Santa Claus is comin'
It's a Jingle Bell Jamboree
Yeah, it's a Jingle Bell Jamboree
Momma's in the kitchen, pappa's in there too, yes right
Well, howdy Uncle Bod? Howdy howdy how are you
There we gonna play some old records and a few CD's
Or you can go in the other room and see what's on TV
Oh, Santa Claus is comin'
Yeah, Santa Claus is comin'
And it's a Jingle Bell Jamboree
Jingle Bell Jamboree
Well, it's all right if there's no stockings on the
wall
'Cause what matters most is peace on earth
And goodwill to all
Well, everybody's got something that a baby needs
They say the more you give, the more you will receive
Well, don't worry if you can't give nothin', ain't a
harm
Well, it's the state of mind that matters most of all
Yeah, we'll all get together
I said, "Let's all get together for a Jingle Bell
Jamboree"
Yeah it's a Jingle Bell Jamboree
Oh, it's a Jingle Bell Jamboree, yeah, yeah, yeah
Go, go house to house, yeah, go sing and come
Oh, ye faithful it's a Jingle Bell Jamboree
Yeah, I said to you, "Jingle Bell Jamboree"
I'm dreaming of a Jingle Bell Jamboree
Oh baby, you know a Jingle Bell Jambo
Silent Night, Holy, Jingle Bell Jamboree
I used to think that
Life was unfair
So many crazy things going on out there
Now all I wanna do
Is just watch the river flow
Cause sooner or later
Its just gonna go where it goes
I took my chances
And it all worked out somehow
Cause what goes around
Comes around
And it's all coming back to me now
I used to wonder what would happen to me
What kind of person I would turn out to be
But all I ever wanted
Was just to have a little fun
And wake up every morning
With the one I love
My momma told me
Just do the best you know how
Cause what goes around
Comes around
And it's all coming back to me now
Well..well..well
Momma told me
Just do the best you know how
See what goes around
Comes around
And it's all coming back to me now
Yea it's all coming back to me now
Oh yea,
Do the best you know how
Its all gonna work out somehow
Took my chances
And it all works out somehow
Momma told me, do the best you know how
What goes around
Comes around
You said you was hurtin' you almost lost your mind
Now the man you love he hurt you all the time
But when things go wrong ooh wrong with you
It hurts me too
You'll love him more when you should love him less
Why lick up behind him and take his mess
But when things go wrong whoa wrong with you
It hurts me too
He love another woman yes i love you
But you love him and stick to him like glue
When things go wrong ooh wrong with you
It hurts me too
Now he better leave you or you better put him down
No i won't stand to see you pushed around
But when things go wrong ooh wrong with you
Isn't she lovely
Isn't she wonderfull
Isn't she precious
Less than one minute old
I never thought through love we'd be
Making one as lovely as she
But isn't she lovely made from love
Isn't she pretty
Truly the angel's best
Boy, I'm so happy
We have been heaven blessed
I can't believe what God has done
through us he's given life to one
But isn't she lovely made from love
Isn't she lovely
Life and love are the same
Life is Aisha
The meaning of her name
Londie, it could have not been done
Without you who conceived the one
Every ray of sunshine,
Every drop of rain,
Every time the wind blows,
I hear your name.
Every time a flower grows
Or a baby cries,
Everything that's young and old
will live and die.
and I don't know whats out there
way behind the sun
and I got a feelin'
that we're not the only ones
And I can see miracles happnin' all the time
And I can see eternity through infinite eyes
And I was just a thinkin',
just the other day,
about some other universe, not so far away.
maybe I'm an alien from a neighborhood star
or maybe I'll just fly away on a slide guitar.
I don't know whats out there
way behind the sun
and I got a feelin'
that we're not the only ones.
And I can see miracles happnin' all the time
I can see eternity through infinite eyes.
I don't know whats out there
way behind the sun
and I got a feelin'
that we're not the only ones.
And I can see miracles happnin' all the time
I can see eternity through infinite eyes.
through infinite eyes...
So much has been unspoken along the way
Hearts have healed and hearts have broken
In the pain of yesterday
Gone are the shadows, vanished in the night
Let your heart surrender, let your soul take flight
Let bygones be bygones, and troubles be long gone
And if I never told you how I feel about ya
I'm tellin you now
We gather here together-all of our friends
In a room full of love and laughter
The healin begins
And if this was my last moment, my last breath
I'd want to be surrounded with joy and happiness
And let bygones be bygones, and troubles be long gone
And if I never told you how I feel about ya
I'm tellin you now
Get with me baby
I'm on your side
Get with me baby
I'm on your side
Well there's a change
In the weather
Change of time
But I'm a stubborn man
I won't change my mind
Get with me baby
I'm on your side
Talk to me baby
I'm on your side
Talk with me baby
I'm on your side
I don't wanna argue
Sure don't wanna fight
Just tell me what's wrong
And let me make it alright
Get with me baby
I'm on your side
I´ll be your sugar daddy
Just call on me
I´ll be your vigilante
If that's what you need baby
What I need to be girl
Get with me baby
I'm on your side
Get with me baby
I'm on your side
Now I don't wanna own you
Like a private property
Come on baby
Just be nice to me
Get with me baby
I'm on your side
Get with me baby
Brother,
I need to talk to you
This might sound strange
And you’ll probably think I’m crazy and I’ve lost my
mind,
Well, okay
I’m amazing; I’m incredible
I’m a miracle, a dream come true
I’m marvelous; I’m beautiful
Guess what?
So are you.
People,
It’s becoming clear
I can feel it down in my soul.
I know that I am you and you are me.
Uh-oh.
And I’m grateful for the simple things
That we take for granted every day
Listen,
I can walk I can talk, I can use my mind.
Okay.
I’m amazing; I’m incredible
I’m a miracle, a dream come true
I’m marvelous; I’m beautiful
Guess what?
So are you.
That don’t mean we’re better than anyone or anything
It’s a call to come together and accept responsibility
And be amazing, incredible
You’re a miracle, a dream come true
And I’m marvelous; I’m beautiful
Guess what?
I know I'm just a workin' man
Sometimes I need a helpin'hand
It's alright
They hardly ever notice me
They never raise my salary
It's alright
Maybe I don't seem so bright
And my future's lookin' dim
And I'm runnin'in a rat race
That I'm never gonna win
I may not be a soldier, in the army
And I don't have money, fortune or fame
And there's nobody out there, strokin' my ego
But when it comes to my woman
I'm a hero
Don't know technology
I'm not as smart as I wanna be
It's alright
But I know the recipe
And the terminology
For love
Sure enough
Maybe she'd be better off
With an educated man
But she's my inspiration
And I'm doin'the best I can
I may not be a soldier, in the army
And I don't have money, fortune or fame
And there's nobody out there, strokin' my ego
But when it comes to my woman
I'm a hero
My baby loves me
And she knows what I need
And when she holds me
I feel like a king
And if I ever lose her
Oh Lord what would I do?
I might go crazy
I may not be a soldier, in the army
And I don't have money, fortune or fame
And there's nobody out there, strokin' my ego
But when it comes to my woman
I may not be a soldier, in the army
And I don't have money, fortune or fame
And there's nobody out there, strokin' my ego
But when it comes to my woman
I'm a hero
I'm a hero
She thinks I'm alright, oh Lord
Do you ever get worried
And your load is hard to bear
And your life is like a sad sad story
No one nobody really cares
But if you ever need someone to talk to
And if you ever need a helping hand
I'll be your ship out on the ocean
I'll be your water in the desert sand
I've been there I've felt like you do
Feelin' like winter would never turn to spring
And everybody I know has got problems
But there's a solution to everything
And if you ever need someone to talk to
And if you ever need a helping hand
I'll be your ship out on the ocean
I'll be your water in the desert sand
And after you've found your way
You won't owe me nothin'
'Cause you're gonna know that your well
Will never run dry, never run dry
If you ever need someone to talk to
And if you ever need a helping hand
I'll be your ship out, your ship out on the ocean
I'll be your water in the desert sand
I'll be your water
And I will give you shelter
I'll be your water
I will be there for you
I'll be your ship out on the ocean
I been high
I been low
I been everywhere I wanted to go
But I never been here before
I been all around the world
Even outer space
But what I'm seeing right now
Feels like a brand new place
I was so damn close
If it was a snake
It would have bit me
Crawling right under my nose
Baby I must admit it
That I really didn't get it
But now you got me singing
La-la-ba-dee-dah
La-la-ba-dee-dah
How could I have been so blind?
Cause now you got me singing
La-la-ba-dee-dah
Oh baby
La-la-ba-dee-dah
For the first time in my life
I see love
I see love
I been in
I been out
Of every kind of love affair
But all I ever got was the blues
I've had money, cars
And some good champagne
But your love much better
Than all them things
I'm so glad to have you
Here with me
Standing right under my nose
Baby I must admit it
That now I really get it
And that's why I'm singing
La-la-ba-dee-dah
La-la-ba-dee-dah
How could I have been so blind?
Lord have mercy, you got me singing
La-la-ba-dee-dah
Oh baby
La-la-ba-dee-dah
For the first time in my life
I see love
I see love
Oh and I'm so glad to have you
Here with me
Standing right under my nose
Baby I must admit it
That now I really get it
And that's why I'm singing
La-la-ba-dee-dah
La-la-ba-dee-dah
How could I have been so blind?
Cause now you got me singing
La-la-ba-dee-dah
Oh baby
La-la-ba-dee-dah
For the first time in my life
I see love

Oh baby

For the first time in my life
We were sick and tired of Buffalo,
tired of freezin’ and shovelin’ snow
So we packed it up and moved out to the coast,
to find us a house in California.
Somethin’ at the beach or Hollywood,
three of four bedrooms sound real good,
Don’t have to have a pool or river run,
just a simple little house in California.
The bank said, “son, what do you do?”,
I said I play guitar down at the Rendez-vous,
He said, “boy you got to be a big time actor or a
corporate lawyer,
if you want to buy a house in California!”
{Refrain}
‘Cause it don’t snow and it don’t rain,
ever’ day looks the same,
and before you pack your thangs, let me warn ya’,
It’s the land of milk and honey,
but you better have good money,
If you’re lookin’ for a house in California!
Well I got me a job, my wife’s got two,
kids flippin’ burgers at the local drive-thru,
We all doin’ everything we can,
we savin’ for a house in California.
Then one day the bank starts shakin’,
the sky went dark and the earth was a quakin’
Then o’r night, it be came alarmin’,
how the price dropped on a house in California!
Well it needs a roof and it needs a floor,
yeah yeah, it’s a real fixer-upper,
Friends back east said somebody should have warned
ya, about buyin’ my big house in California.
{Refrain}
‘Cause it don’t snow and it don’t rain,
ever’ day looks the same,
and before you pack your thangs, let me warn ya’,
It’s the land of milk and honey,
but you better have good money,
Remember if you can
When cotton was picked by hand
Down in Dixy under southern sky
Working from sun to sun
Remember if you will
Lightening from a whiskey still
The blues and the breese
The sweet magnolia trees
A little church house upon the hill
Chourus
And I can hear the Delta calling
From the light of a distant star
I can see my future and i can feel my past
When Henry plays his steel guitar
Ohhh oh yea
Instrumental
Wont you take be back in time
And free me from this crime
Well I have no shame and I have no blame
Its time for us to be moving on
Chours
And I can hear the Delta calling
From the light of a distant star
I can see my future and I can feel my past
When Henry plays his steel guitar
When Henry plays his steel guitar
And I can hear the delta calling
From the light of a distant star
I can see my future and I can feel my past
When Henry plays his steel guitar
When Henry plays his steel guitar
If your problems
Won't go away
And you're worried
Both night and day
Hand it over
Get on your knees and pray
If you're sick
Feeling low
Got no money
Got nowhere to go
Hand it over
Get on your knees and pray
Hand it over
Hand it over
Give it up, give it over
Hand it over
Get on your knees and pray
Ain't no mountain
You cant climb
Ain't no answer
You can't find
All you need is a hand to hold
I´ll heal your body
And feed your soul
If the road is dark
And you can`t find your way
Just let the spirit light the way
Hand it over
Get on your knees and pray
Ain't no mountain
You cant climb
Ain't no answer
You can't find
All you need is a hand to hold
I´ll heal your body
And feed your soul
If the road is dark
And you can`t find your way
Just let the spirit light the way
Hand it over
Get on your knees and pray
Hand it over
Hand it over
Give it up, give it over
Hand it over
Grandma's hands clapped to church on Sunday mornings
Grandma's hands played the tambourine so well
Grandma's hands used to issue out a warning
She say, "Kevin why you run so fast,
Might fall on a piece of glass,
Might be snakes there in that grass?"
Grandma's hands, they keep on calling to me.
Grandma's hands soothed the local unwed mothers
Grandma's hands used to ache sometimes and swell
Grandma's hands, lord they'd really come in handy
She say, "Bobbie why you want to whip that boy?
What you want to whip him for?
He didn't throw no apple core."
Grandma's hands, they keep on calling to me.
Grandma's hands soothed the local unwed mothers
Grandma's hands used to ache sometimes and swell
Grandma's hands, well they really came in handy
She say, "Bobbie why you want to whip that boy?
What you want to whip him for?
He didn't throw no apple core."
But I don't have grandma anymore
Well you might be saved
You might be reborn
You might own a car
With a big loud horn
Maybe it's just news
On your television
Or it might be God trying to get your attention
Are you an engineer
Working on a farm
Or a casanova
With a whole lot of charm
It might be a mouse
Living in your kitchen
Or it might be God trying to get your attention
Well it might sound bad
Or it might sound good
It might be made of steele
Or it might be made of wood
Maybe it's just news
On your television
Or it might be God trying to get your attention
Well it might be in the church house
Or it might be on the street
Somehow or another
Every soul has got to meet
Well it might be in the city
Or it might be in the town
One way or another
You're gonna find the higher ground
Well you might be deaf
Or you might be blind
Should put the message
Right in your mind
Might look like a plan
Or a coalition
Or it might be God trying to get your attention
Ohhh
Well you might be deaf
Or you might be dumb
You'll get the answer
When the answer comes
It might be news
On your television
Or it might be God trying to get your attention
It might be God trying to get your attention
Oh yeah
Listen to the birds
Listen to the trees
Listen to the river
Listen to the sea
Listen to the mountain
Listen to the land
Listen to the woman
Listen to the man
Listen to the rain
Listen to the wind
Listen to your mind
Then listen all over again
Listen to the birds
Listen to the trees
Listen to the river
Listen to the sea

Listen to the land
Listen to the woman
Listen to the man
Listen to the rain
Listen to the wind
Listen to your mind
Baby this life can break your heart
Everyone hurts to some degree
So while this world is falling apart
Why dont you come be with me?
Dont you know that life can be so cold
When you're without the one you need
How much longer do I have to go?
Waiting for you, come be with me
CHORUS
Love can be so simple when you let it flow
Keep it in your head, feel it in your heart
Send it through your soul
Look up at the stars burning bright
Listen to the wind whisper sweet
Heaven and earth know the moment is right
Why dont you come be with me?
CHORUS
Look up at the starts burning bright
Listen to the wind whisper sweet
Heaven and earth know the moment is right
Why dont you come be with me?
Heaven and earth know the moment is right
Early in the morning
I was in my bed
My baby turned and kissed
On the top of my head
Made me breakfast
Sent me on my way
Kissed me on the lips
And said ‘Have a nice day’
She had me right where she wanted
I was in a trance
Ain’t nothing wrong with Texas
But I’d really love to go to France
I would do most anything
But I’m still making payments
On her wedding ring
I went to my employer
Mr. Hayes
I’ve been working like a mother
How ‘bout a doggone raise
Money is tight
You know there ain’t no chance
Won’t you reconsider
My baby wants to go to France
I see us walking
Along the Champs Elysees
Exchanging kisses
In a small French café
Wake up momma
Don’t you fret
I found two cheap tickets
On the internet
We leave on Monday
For two whole weeks
All we have to do is just
Eat and sleep
I had her right where I wanted
She was in a trance
Ain’t nothing wrong with Texas
There's something happening here
And what it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I've got to beware
Think it's time we stop children, what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin' down
There's battle lines being drawn
And nobody's right, if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
A-getting so much resistance from behind
And we stop, what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin' down
What a field day for the heat
A thousand people in the street
Singin' songs and a-carryin' signs
Mostly say "hooray for our side"
It's time to stop, hey what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin' down
Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step outta line, the men come and take you away
You betta stop, hey what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin' now
Stop, hey what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin' now
You betta stop, now, what's that sound
Everybody look what's goin' now
I hear the train a comin'
It's rolling round the bend
And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when,
I'm stuck in Folsom prison, and time keeps draggin' on
But that train keeps a rollin' on down to San Anton..
When I was just a baby my mama told me, son
Always be a good boy, don't ever play with guns.
But I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die
When I hear that whistle blowing I hang my head and cry..
I bet there's rich folks eating in a fancy dining car
They're probably drinkin' coffee and smoking big cigars.
Well I know I had it coming, I know I can't be free
But those people keep a movin'
And that's what tortures me...
Well if they'd free me from this prison,
If that railroad train was mine
I bet I'd move it all a little further down the line
Far from Folsom prison, that's where I want to stay
And I'd let that lonesome whistle blow my blues away.....
I've seen people get healed,
raised from the dead.
Miracle happen when your prayers get seen.
I've seen walls come down,
Night turned to day,
I've seen love rising up.
And hate turned away.
Why don't you follow me to where
the healing waters flow.
Why don't you lay your burdens down and me yourself at
home.
Follow me up;
Follow me up.
Follow me up on the narrow road.
Follow me up, yeah.
Follow me
Up on the narrow road
I've seen people give up
When the feeling don't come.
I've seen them losing their voices
In an unknown tongue.
And at the end of the day
There's an aching need short of the answers you still
somehow believe.
So won't you follow me to where
the healing waters flow.
Won't you lay your burdens down and
make yourself at home.
Follow me up;
Follow me up.
Follow me up on the narrow road.
Yeah, follow me up.
Up on the narrow road
So when the time for leaving calls me
like I know it will,
I know you'll find the strength within
your heart to carry on.
So won't you follow me to where
the healing waters flow.
Lay your burdens down and make yourself at home.
Follow me up;
Aint got no money
Nowhere to sleep
No friends no family
No bread no meat, no bread no meat
No friends no family
No bread, no bread no meat
Aint got no reason
Aint got no rhyme
Aint gettin' no younger
And I'm runnin' outta time
Runnin' outta time
Aint gettin' no younger

Aint got no picture
Aint got no wall
Aint got nobody to hear me when I call

Aint got no window
Aint got no door
But I can feel sun shinin' where it's never shined before
Never shined before
Feel sun shinin' where it's never shined before
But I'm still climbing up the mountain side
Cant count me out
As long as I got my heart and soul
I got everything
I got everything I need
Everything I need
Aint got no pictures
Aint got no walls
Aint got nobody gonna hear me when I call
Every mornin', every evenin', every day I, I think of you
The way you love me, through and through
When I'm with you, it feels like heaven
You're an angel, holdin' me
Your sweet, sweet lovin', it sets me free
And in my wildest, imagination,
I could never, imagine you
Lovin' me as much as, as I do love you
And it may be winter, it may be fall
I might have plenty, or nothin' at all
But baby I'll be there, whenever you call, ever you call
'Cause every mornin', and every evenin', every day I, I
think of you
The way you love me, through and through
I don't have your number
I don't know your name
Don't have your picture
In a golden frame
Ohh but when I see you
My heart goes wild
Feels like christmas morning
To a little child
Don't you know
That I've been watching you
Don't you know
That I've been longing for the chance
Can't you tell that i've been hoping too
Be loving you, and only you
Don't you know
Don't you know
I am only human
Just flesh and bones
And I got a feelin'
That I've never known
Ohh it feels like thunder
Not a cloud in sight
It feels like sunshine
In the middle of the night
Well don't you know
I've been watching you
Don't you know, I've been longing for the chance
Can't you tell, I've been hoping too
Be loving you, and only you
Don't you know
Well maybe someday
We will see
Don't you know
That I've been watching you
Don't you know
I've been longing for the chance
Can't you tell
I've been hoping too
Be loving you and only you
Don't you know
Don't you know
Don't you know
Don’t, try to explain
My hearts already broken
And I’m feelin the pain
The promise that you could not keep
Though it’s easy to see
You’re tired of me
Don’t, try to explain
I can see the truth
It’s all over your face
Someone has come between us
And I’m still lovin you
I know what I must do
It might take some time
To heal my wounded heart
Well I’m hurt
Downhearted
And I’m feelin misused
But I got my whole life ahead
And here’s where I start baby
Ohh don’t, don’t try to explain baby
Cause you’re all out in the open
But I’ll take the blame
For lovin you way too much
And foolishly hopin
All the time knowin
Aww don’t, don’t have to explain baby
Don’t you worry about it
Cause I’ll be okay
Cause you see pain ain’t nuthin new
Well it’s sure not the first time
And it’s probly not the last
Solo
You don’t have to explain baby
Don’t you worry about it
Cause I’ll be okay
You see, pain ain’t nuthin new
Well it’s sure ont the first time
And it probly won’t be the last
Standin'on the corner of my life, you are
Always lookin' out but never goin' far
Sittin on the sideline for another day
Nuthin like the present, so come out and play
Jumpin skippin twistin liftin
Happy in the world that you are livin

I believe that we can have it all,
Just don't say no (don't say no)
Don't say no (don't say no)
Go ahead and spread your wings, you'll love the flight
Love and understanding is a lovely sight
Walkin down the road of life, you're on your way

I done called up the bossman
Told him where to go
And just what to do
Call me crazy
But i did what I had to do
You can call me stupid
I just did what I had to do
I had to steal a little time baby
So I could spend it all on you
I parked the car down the street
And I unplugged the phone
So it would look just like
Ain't nobody home
I put a rose on your pillow
Where you lay your pretty head
I'm gonna rub your tired shoulders
Bring your dinner to your bed
Look out baby
I'm in a dangerous mood
I had to steal a little time baby
So I could spend it all on you
I'm gonna light a candle
Put the champagne on ice
And if one ain't enough
Well we'll just have to do it twice
I done made myself a will
And I've called my next of kin
'Cause I'm gonna love you over
And over and over
Again and again
Look out baby
I'm in a dangerous mood
I had to steal a little time baby
So I could spend it all on you
Look out baby

Look out baby

Flat broke and busted, it just don?t seem fair
The Man in Heaven, don't hear my prayer
And these dice are loaded, and I still can?t win
Flat broke and busted, crapped out again
Maybe tomorrow, I'll see the light
And I'll know the difference, tween wrong and right
My ship is out there, but it can't come in
Flat broke and busted, crapped out again

And now I'm hangin on tight, to the end of my rope

And the love you find turns out not to be
Don't explain, girl just let it go
I don't really want to know
All I want you to do is, just come on back
I'll be right here
Just come on back, I"ll dry your tears
There's a man at my house he's so big and strong
He goes to work each day, stays all day long
He comes home each night looking tired and beat
He sits down at the dinner table and has a bite to eat
Never a frown always a smile
When he says to me how's my child
I've been studying hard all day in school
Tryin' to understand the golden rule
Think I'll color this man father
I think I'll color him love
Said I'm gonna color him father
I think I'll color the man love, yes I will
He says education is the thing if you wanna compete
Because without it son, life ain't very sweet
I love this man I don't know why
Except I'll need his strength till the day that I die
My mother loves him and I can tell
By the way she looks at him when he holds my little
sister Nell
I heard her say just the other day
That if it hadn't been for him she wouldn't have found
her way
My real old man he got killed in the war
And she knows she and seven kids couldn't of got very
She said she thought that she could never love again
And then there he stood with that big wide grin
He married my mother and he took us in
And now we belong to the man with that big wide grin
Think I'll color this man father
I think I'll color him love
It's a lovely night
A beautiful evening
Time is slippin' away
It's getting late
You should be leaving
But I've got something to say
Please, don't go
Let's get closer
A little bit closer
Turn the lights, down low
I need to let you know
I'm so in love with you
Getting closer is all I want to do
We've been friends
Close companions
There's nothing to conceal
So I'm letting go
My little secret
To tell you how I feel
So please, don't go
Let's get closer
A little bit closer
Turn the lights, down low
I need to let you know
I'm so in love with you
Getting closer is all I want to do
So please, don't go
Let's get closer
A little bit closer
Turn the lights, down low
I need to let you know
I'm so in love with you
Getting closer is all
Oh please, don't go

Looking for a home

And l can`t see
The city`s no place for me
And l can`t seem to find my way

day to day, yes l am
`Cause l want to be
Where my soul can run free
Well, l`m just a city boy
Looking for a home
Now, l don`t
Want to be no prisoner
And l sure don`t want
to be no slave
l want look out at night
And see stars in the sky
The Little Dipper
And the Milky Way
l can`t sleep
lt`s too loud
And everywhere
Everywhere l go, you know,
there seems to be a crowd
And l`m tired of
all these concrete streets
l want to feel the dirt
Up under my feet
`Cause l want to go
Somewhere where the buffalo roam
l`m just a city boy
Looking for a home
l want to go
Somewhere, somewhere where
the buffalo roam
Oh, l`m just a city boy
Looking for a home
Well, now, just a city boy
And l`m looking for a home
Well the stars are out tonight
And I got no where to go
Well my no where is somewhere
You really don't wanna know
And in the morning
I'll be at the stoplight
Looking kinda strange
Asking for forgivness and
Begging for some change
Begging for a change
That will turn my life around
Change that will put my feet on the ground
Change that will make everything okay
Well I don't like standing here
With a bucket and a sign
And I haven't seen my family
In a very long time
And I don't mean to make you feel guilty
On top of all your stress and strain
Like me your praying to the lord above
Begging for some change
Yea your begging for a change
That will turn your life around
Change that will put your feet on the ground
Change that will make everything okay
For a change of the good of everyone
Change for the love of everyone
Change that will make everything allright
And don't act like you don't see me
Cause brother I know you do
How about a little donation
I wanna help you too
For a change that will turn your life around
A change that will put your feet on the ground
A change that will make everything okay
Yes it will
Well I got no room for a sofa
And I got no tv
But I got this little lady
A kind stranger that came to me
And I heard about the bloody school yards
And the questions of who to blame
I hear the children crying for a change
Begging for a change
Yea their begging for a change
That will turn their life around
Change that will put their feet on the ground
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
With a big hotel, a boutique, and a swinging hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop, shoo-bop-bop-bop
They took all the trees and put 'em in a tree museum
And then they charged all the poeple a dollar and a
half just to see 'em
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop, shoo-bop-bop-bop
Hey farmer, farmer, put away your DDT now
Give me spots on my apples but leave me the birds and
the bees, please
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
I say, they paved paradise and they put up a parking
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop
Late last night I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi carried off my old man
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise and they put up a parking lot
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop
Oh, now, they paved paradise and they put up a parking
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop
Hey, steam rolled paradise and put up a parking lot
O, beautiful for spacious skies
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountains majesty
Above the fruited plain
America, America
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea
O, beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife
Who more than self their country loved
And mercy more than life
America, America
May God thy gold refine
And may all success be nobleness
And every gain divine
O, America, America
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From sea to shining sea
From sea to shining sea
None of my businesses's gettin' all of my concern.
I tried to put out the fire, but the flames still burn,
And as she pleases, she comes and goes,
She's got the wind in her hair.
She never ceases to hurt me so,
Does she really care?
Is she ever comin' home? Is she ever gonna phone?
Another nicht alone...
Has anybody seen my girl? Has anybody seen my woman?
California, Tennesse, send my baby home to me!
Where am i goin' or what am i gonna do?
I know i'm not crazy, i'm just hooked on you.
So go on and use me, endlessly, could you let me know
When you need me, hold me close and, baby, don't let go.
Are you ever comin' home? Are you ever gonna phone?
Another night alone...
Has anybody seen my girl? Has anybody seen my woman?
California, Tennesse, send my baby home to me!
Has anybody seen my girl? Has anybody seen my woman?
California, Tennesse, send my baby home to me,
Angelina, baby, won't you please come home
Angelina, baby, won't you please come home
You know my heart is aching and all my dreams have gone
Well, now my bed is empty, my feets and my hands are cold
You know my bed is empty, my feets and my hands are cold
Come on home, Angelina, my love for you will never grow
Well now I've tried to love you with diamonds and pearls
But all that did was tear us apart
And I've tried to give you everything in the world
When all you really wanted - to wound my heart, oh-ho
Angelina, baby, won't you please come home
Oh, Angelina, baby, won't you please come home
You know my heart is aching and all my dreams have gone
Well I've tried to love you with diamonds and pearls
But all that did was tear us apart
And I've tried to give you everything in the world
When all you really wanted - to wound my heart, my heart
Angelina, baby, baby, won't you please come home
Well, sweet Angelina, baby, won't you please come home
You know my heart is aching and all my dreams have gone
(That's right, baby)
Am I wrong
Fallin in love with you
Tell me am I wrong
Well
Fallin in love with you
While your other man was out there
Cheatin and lyin
Steppin all over you
Sweet thing
Tell me am I wrong
Holdin on to you so tight
Tell me
Tell me
Am I wrong
Holdin on to you so tight
If your other man come to claim you
He'd better be ready
Ready for a long long fight
Well I gotta be strong
Well I know you're dependin on me
You know I gotta be strong
I know you're dependin on me
To give you all of my attention
All of my time
And all of the love you need
Oh tell me
Am I wrong
Tryin to hold on to you
Tell me am I wrong
Tryin to hold on to you
I just wanna make a home for you baby
And all of your children too
Tell me am I wrong
Fallin in love with you
Gotta tell me am I wrong
Fallin in love with you
While your other man was out there
Cheatin and lyin
Steppin all over you
While your other man was out there
Cheatin and lyin
I don't have a reason
To turn you around
I don't have all the reasons
To turn you around
I ain't going nowhere baby
No how, no way
You're not always an angel baby
And I ain't no saint
You're not always an angel baby
And I ain't no saint
Well I know I'm gonna leave you baby
Well baby that something I ain't
I don't have a reason
To turn you around
I don't have a reason
To turn you around
I ain't going nowhere
No way, no how
My love is like a rock
Not a fair-weathered friend
My love is like a rock
I ain't no fair-weathered friend
I´ll follow you up the mountain
Down the road and back again
I don't have no trophy
To prove I'm a man
I don't need no trophy
To prove I'm a man
I just want somebody to talk to
So I can be free
I don't have a reason
Sorry about that false alarm
Turned you around
I ain't got all the reasons
To make you stay
I ain't going nowhere
Sittin' here in my problem
What am I gonna do now
Am I gonna make it
Someway, somehow
Maybe I'm not supposed to know
Maybe I'm supposed to cry
And if nobody ever knows
The way I feel
It's all right
And it'll be ok
(Chorus:)
I'm gonna make my world a better place
I'm gonna keep that smile on my face
I'm gonna teach myself how to understand
I'm gonna make myself a better man
Climbing out of the window
Climbing up the wall
Is anybody gonna save me
Or are they gonna let me fall
Well I don't really wanna know
I´ll just hold on the best I can
And if I fall down
I´ll just get back up
It'll be alright
It'll be ok
(Chorus 2x)
Maybe I'm not supposed to know
Maybe I'm supposed to cry
And if nobody ever knows
The way I feel
That's all right
It'll be ok
