Jonah Miller: Mom says its because she has PMS.::Steve Miller: Do you even know what PMS is, Jonah ?::Jonah Miller: Of course I do dad, I'm not a little kid anymore. It's the Pissed At Men Syndrome.
Kim: We're not perfect. Any of us. We make mistakes, we screw up but then we forgive and move forward.

TOUGH AS A DESERT CACTUS! (original print ad - all caps)
Cagney in his greatest role!
As it really was! A big, blazing drama of the West!
Jeremy Rodock: You know, I ain't got you figured yet, McNulty. You act like a man with a lot of ideas. But all of them second rate... and not one honorable.::McNulty: Kee - rect.
Jeremy Rodock: One thing you gotta learn tho - horse is man's slave but treat 'em like a slave and you ain't a man.
Fat Jones: [In the bunkhouse: Steve is moving in] Say, friend... You don't just happen to have one of them new mail order catalogues?::Steve Miller: No, I ain't.::Fat Jones: Feller told me they had pictures in them this year - women in corsets.::Wrangler in bunkhouse: Fats, you got a dirty mind. That's why you'll never amount to nothin'.::Fat Jones: I ain't seen a woman - outside 'o Jocasta - in eight months. And you ain't gettin' no prettier. [Other wrangler gives him the finger]
Jeremy Rodock: [Explaining to Jocasta why he must go search out and hang the horse thieves, in spite of Jo's wishes to the contrary] Jo... you come as close to bein'... well, as close to bein' everything to me as anything livin'. But I still can't do what you want me to do. We're livin' in the middle of nowhere. Two hundred miles from any kind of law and order. Except for what I built myself. Ever since I started - and this you don't know - I've been badgered, skunked, bitten out and bushwhacked by thieves from everywhere. And now, one of my men's been killed. I find my horses, I find the killer. If I find the killer, I hang him. I gotta' keep my own reckoning, Jo. It's the way I built my life and half the transportation of the West. Goodbye, Jo.
Jocasta Constantine: [Offering to loan Steve ten dollars] I'd lend you more, if you would use the money to go back home.::Steve Miller: Go home? Why?::Jocasta Constantine: Steve, we've only talked a few times since you came here. But I know this about you. You are gentle. You haven't been used, and made hard. This is not your kind of life. Look at the men in the bunkhouse: Baldy, and Fat Jones, and Abe. Never a chance for a family, or a home. In ten years, you're gonna' be like them - a "nobody" on a horse. That's what a wrangler is: a "nobody" on a horse. With bad teeth, broken bones, double hernia, and lice!
Jocasta Constantine: Go home. Before you kill your first man. Or put a rope on your first hanging, and it begins to eat you up alive. Learn a decent trade. Find yourself a nice girl and get married. Live in a place where you can bring up children. A normal life. A normal life that... Steve, I... I'm sorry. Sometimes I think you're my own man. The old dreams.
Steve Miller: [Upset at Mr. Rodock after witnessing Rodock's hanging of a horse thief - an impromptu "frontier justice" hanging, done without benefit of a formal trial] Maybe I ain't hard, maybe that's why. But Mr. Rodock, you didn't have to hang him.
Jeremy Rodock: [Explaining to Jocasta why he felt the hanging was necessary] I tell ya' Jo, it's the only way. It's FEAR that keeps men honest. And with that hangin' today, I laid fear like a fence ten feet high, around my property!
Jocasta Constantine: [to Mr. Rodock] I understand now why you never married or ever wanted to marry. To marry you have to invest your heart in someone. How can you invest if you don't trust?
Jeremy Rodock: [Jeremy to Jocasta as Steve rides away on Jeremy's horse] A fella doesn't die of a broken heart from his first love, only from his last.

[after Lola and Steve escape from the Indians into the cavalry camp]::Lola Manners: Do you mind if I kiss you?::Sgt. Wilkes: No, ma'am, I'd like it. Providin' your man don't mind.::[she kisses him]::Lola Manners: That's for savin' my life.::Sgt. Wilkes: Now you disappoint me. I thought it was 'cause I'm pretty. Got some coffee boilin' on the fire. Wanna just sorta help yourself?::Lola Manners: Oh, coffee. You know, now that I look at you... you ARE pretty.
[High-Spade explains to Lola why Lin has been pursuing his brother, 'Dutch']::High-Spade Frankie Wilson: Well, that's the way it was. The old man sired two sons. One was no good... never was any good. Robbed a bank... a stagecoach. Then when he came home and wanted to hide out, the old man wouldn't go for it. So Dutch shot him... in the back.
Sgt. Wilkes: You're a man after my stamp. Wish we'd have had you with us at Bull Run. We might not have run so fast.::Lin McAdam: Well, I wanna tell you somethin'. I was with you at Bull Run. So was High-Spade.::High-Spade Frankie Wilson: Only we was on the other side.
Waco Johnnie Dean: What was I saying?::Lola Manners: You were talking about yourself.::Waco Johnnie Dean: Where did I stop?::Lola Manners: You didn't. But you can now. I already know all about Waco Johnnie Dean, the fastest gun in Texas.::Waco Johnnie Dean: Texas? Lady, why limit me?
High-Spade Frankie Wilson: Did you ever wonder what he'd think about you hunting down Dutch Henry?::Lin McAdam: He'd understand. He taught me to hunt.::High-Spade Frankie Wilson: Not men. Hunting for food, that's alright. Hunting a man to kill him? You're beginning to like it.::Lin McAdam: That's where you're wrong. I don't like it. Some things a man has to do, so he does 'em.
High-Spade Frankie Wilson: Where's that Steve boy? Drinkin' whiskey?::Lola Manners: He's dead.::High-Spade Frankie Wilson: Sudden, wasn't it?::Lola Manners: Very. He was killed by that gentleman standing at the bar. The one that's looking at us.::High-Spade Frankie Wilson: Don't seem right for people to go around killing nice folks like...::Lola Manners: He's not "people". He's Waco Johnnie Dean.
[Lin McAdam and High-Spade are signing up for the shooting contest]::Bartender: Who would you be?::High-Spade Frankie Wilson: High-Spade Frankie Wilson... with a hyphen. That's what I sit on when I get tired.
[after Lin wins the Winchester 73 rifle]::Dutch Henry Brown: How much will you take for it?::Lin McAdam: It's not for sale.::Dutch Henry Brown: That's too bad. That's too much gun for a man to have just for... shootin' rabbits.::Lin McAdam: Or for shootin' men in the back.
Opening title card: This is the story of the Winchester Rifle Model 1873, "The gun that won the West." To cowman, outlaw, peace officer or soldier, the Winchester '73 was a treasured possession. An Indian would sell his soul to own one.
High-Spade Frankie Wilson: We've hit a lot of towns, Lin. What makes you think he'll be here?::Lin McAdam: He'll be here.::High-Spade Frankie Wilson: We've been wrong before.::Lin McAdam: He'll be here.::High-Spade Frankie Wilson: On account of that?::[High-Spade indicates the Winchester '73 rifle that is the top prize at Dodge City's Fourth of July shooting competition]::Lin McAdam: If he isn't here already, that gun'll bring him.

Kow Kow Calqulator
Was a very smooth operator
Had himself a pet alligator
Kept it in a chrome elevator, yeah
When the sun began to shine
The alligator come outside
Kow Kow played the chimes
Together they would go for a ride
As they travelled with a heavy load
They came across a dead horse at the side of the road
With two generals standing at each end
Fighting over whose fault it had been
And all that's left was this war
And they couldn't get things back together like they were before
Well, listen
Turn on your love light
Turn it on, let it shine
Inside your heart
Let it shine, turn it on
Your love light
Turn it on
Turn it on
Let it shine
Inside your mind
So many times Kow Kow had heard it said before
Oh, don't, Lord, don't go near that door
The cause of our evil you'll uncover
Because of our misery you discover
Well, misery seeks its own company
Kow Kow had heard it said
Now he sits there crying
Oh, with his hands across his head
Kow Kow Calqulator
Oh, a very smooth operator
Get back in your elevator
Kow Kow Calqulator
Turn on your love light
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Let it shine

I've got the key to the highway
I am bound to go
I'm gonna roam this highway
Till my dying day
When the moon peeks over the mountain
Honey, I'll be on my way
I'm gonna roam this highway
Till my dying day Give me one more, one more kiss mama
Just before I go
Cause when I leave here, baby
I won't be back, no I won't be back anymore
Mmmm, to the highway
Oh, Lord, I'm out and bound to go
I'm gonna leave here running
Cause walking's much too slow
I met you on somebody's island
You thought you had known me before
I brought you a crate of papaya
They waited all night by your door
You probably wouldn't remember
I probably couldn't forget
Jungle love in the surf in the pouring rain
Everything's better when wet
Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy
Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy
But lately you live in the jungle
I never see you alone
But we need some definite answers
So I thought I would write you a poem
The question to everyone's answer
Is usually asked from within
But the patterns of the rain
And the truth they contain
Have written my life on your skin
Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy
Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy You treat me like I was your ocean
You swim in my blood when it's warm
My cycles of circular motion
Protect you and keep you from harm
You live in a world of illusion
Where everything's peaches and cream
We all face a scarlet conclusion
But we spend our time in a dream
Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy
Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy
Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy
Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy
Listen to the blackbird sadly sing
For you, for me
Look at all the pointless suffering
Humanity
I am dreaming of a garden
And I see the midnight flight
Of a blackbird, through my vision
To the light
To the light
She is standing in the doorway
With the love light in her eye
And she beckons me to journey
Through the night
Through the night
Listen to the blackbird sadly sing
For you, for me
Look at all the pointless suffering
Humanity To the people, who are naked
As they breathe in amber haze
Wandering endlessly narcotic
Through the maze
Through the maze
To the leaders, who are timeless
As they flaunt their warlike ways
Flying endlessly o'er the wasteland
Seeking praise
Seeking praise
Listen to the blackbird sadly sing
For you, for me
Look at all the pointless suffering
Humanity

My sweet child was seen across town
With some stranger man
She had a smile on her face
Looked out of place
Suitcase was in her hand
Junior saw it happen
Why didn't I listen to you, hey
Whoa, ohh
Whoa, {??}
Whoa, ohh
Whoa, now she's down the tracks with him
I remember on the day she left me
That's one thing I'll never forget
In the apartment we owned
All she left was a phone
And a broken down TV set Junior saw it happen
Why didn't I listen to you, hey
Whoa, ohh
Whoa, {??}
Whoa, na na na na na
Whoa, now she's down the tracks with him
Didn't believe it when I first got word
But boy, I sure do now
I couldn't face it, my mind wouldn't take it
It didn't make sense somehow
Because I thought you was happy
With the way we lived
And the things that we used to do
Whoa, no no no
Whoa, {??}
Whoa, no no no no
Whoa, now she's down the tracks with him
There's Frank James and Jesse James
Billy the Kid and all the rest
Supposed to be some bad cats
Way out in the West
If those cats could of dug me
And my gangster ways
They would have hung up their guns
And dug into their graves
Cause I'm a gangster
A gangster of love
I'm a gangster
A gangster of love
Now look here
When I go into a bar
Girls from near and far
Say I'm a gangster
A gangster of love
I jumped in my white horse Cadillac
I rode across the border line
I roped 55 girls
I kissed them all the same time
Took 25 or 30, put 'em all on a freight
There was a million dollar reward for me in each and every state
Sheriff says is your name Stevie "Guitar" Miller in a very deep voice
And I said yes sir brother sheriff, and that's your wife on the back of my horse
I can't help it
I'm a gangster
I can't help it

There are so many places
You have roamed
So many people
You have known
I know many of them you loved
Some are here, some are gone
None of them could love you
Cause I'm the only one
You've been away
Ohh, so long
And I need you
So, come on
Don't you be sad
Cause it won't be long
I know it's been bad
But you'll soon, soon be home
If I couldn't just be with you
Everything would be fine

It would ease your troubled mind I'm your love
You're my woman
And you waited so patiently
Darling I'm waitin' here
Come on, come on, come on, come on home
There's so many things you got to hear
Some don't, don't stay away long
Don't stay away long
Well, listen little girl
You know I need you so

And that's something you should know
The feeling's gettin' stronger
You know I can't get away
I've got to be with you baby
Each and every day
So hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry home
Pack my bags
Don't be too slow
I should have quit you baby
A long time ago
Left you flat
And split for Mexico
Don't try to stop me
Child, you're talkin' too fast
You and your friends babe
You are a thing in my past
You're much too slow
I'm goin' to Mexico I've got four or five hundred miles to go
Down that southbound highway
'53 Studebaker goin' for broke
I'm pushin' it night and day

To last a long, long time
You and your mother, babe
You're like a nursery rhyme
You're much too slow
I'm goin' to Mexico
Yeah, come on baby

Empty pockets
Well, they don't ever make the grade
Mama may have

But God bless the child
Who's got his own
Who's got his own
When you've got money
You've got lots of friends
They're always hangin' around your door
But when the money's all gone
And the spending ends
They don't come around much anymore
Rich relations give
A crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But you better not take too much, no
Mama may have
Papa may have
But God bless the child
Who's got his own
Who's got his own
Them that's got shall get

I wish I were an apple
Swingin' in an apple tree
Every time my baby came by
She'd take a bite of me
Tell me that she loves me
Call me sugar plum
Throw her arms around me
Till I thought my time had come
You better get on home (You better get on home)
You better get on home (You better get on home)
You better get on home (You better get on home)
I'm gonna marry you some day
You know I love you honey
Love your kisses, too
There isn't a thing in this whole darn world
That I would not do for you
Take me to the parlor, baby
Cool me with your fan
I swear you are the sweetest thing
In the sight of mortal man
You better get on home (You better get on home)
You better get on home (You better get on home)
You better get on home (You better get on home)

I'm gonna marry you some day
Where you come darling
It must be from down south
I can tell, I can tell, I can tell pretty mama
By the bees buzzin' 'round your mouth
Now way over yonder
On yonder's wall
Get down with me darling
Get down y'all
You better get on home (You better get on home)
You better get on home (You better get on home)
You better get on home (You better get, you better get on home)

I'm gonna marry you some day
I left my message on your number
In hopes that you might call
Riding high on good intentions
Still hanging on the wall
Although my words were never all too
Clear it's understood
It's never too late to say in other ways
Something in our lives we'll rearrange
More than just your call on holiday
Ring me up, don't bring me down
Don't let me hear you won't
Come through tonight
Ring me up, don't bring me down
You know this lonely heart stands by me
While I'm waiting
Remembering how it came together
The meaning in your eyes
Now words fall out like perfect strangers
We both apologize
In all this time I thought I knew you
And over looked somehow the reasons why
You kept inside Ring me up, don't bring me down
Don't let me hear you won't
Come through tonight
This lonely heart stands by me
While I'm waiting
Ring me up, don't bring me down
Don't let me hear you won't
Come through tonight
Ring me up, don't bring me down
Here's hoping the days gone by we'll see again
This lonely heart stands by and I'm still waiting
Ooh still waiting
Ooh still waiting
Leavin' home, out on the road
I've been down before
Ridin' along in this big ol' jet plane
I've been thinkin' about my home
But my love light seems so far away
And I feel like it's all been done
Somebody's tryin' to make me stay
You know I've got to be movin' on
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
Cause it's here that I've got to stay
Goodbye to all my friends at home
Goodbye to people I've trusted
I've got to go out and make my way
I might get rich you know I might get busted
But my heart keeps calling me backwards
As I get on the 707
Ridin' high I got tears in my eyes
You know you got to go through hell
Before you get to heaven
Big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
Cause it's here that I've got to stay
Touchin' down in New England town
Feel the heat comin' down
I've got to keep on keepin' on
You know the big wheel keeps on spinnin' around
And I'm goin' with some hesitation
You know that I can surely see
That I don't want to get caught up in any of that
Funky shit goin' down in the city Big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
Cause it's here that I've got to stay
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
Cause it's here that I've got to stay
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah
Big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
Cause it's here that I've got to stay
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
Carry me to my home
Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner
Cause it's there that I belong

Oh, willow weep for me
Weeping willow tree
Bend your branches green
Along the stream
That runs to sea
Listen to my plea
Listen willow and weep for me
Gone my lovers dream
Lovely summer dream
Gone and left me here to weep my tears into the stream
Sad as I can be
Hear me willow and weep for me
Whisper to the wind
And say that love has sinned
To leave my heart a breakin' and a makin' a moan
Murmur to the night
To hide her starry light
So none will find me sighing here and crying all alone
Oh, weeping willow tree
Weeping sympathy
Bend your branches down along the ground
And cover me
When the shadows fall
Bend, oh, willow and weep for me
Oh, weeping willow tree
Weeping sympathy
Bend your branches down
Along the ground and cover me
When the shadows fall
Bend, oh, willow and weep for me
Gone my lovers dream
In the winter time
When all the leaves are brown
And the wind blows so chill
And the birds have all flown for the summer
I'm callin', hear me callin', hear me callin'
In the winter time
When all the leaves are brown
And the wind blows so chill
And the birds have all flown for the summer
I'm callin', hear me callin', hear me callin'
I'm callin', hear me callin', hear me callin'
In the winter time
In the winter time
When all the leaves are brown
And the wind blows so chill
And the birds have all flown for the summer
I'm callin', hear me callin, hear me callin'
Wide river
She opens her mouth to the sea
Singing dear, dear ocean, now
Here is a kiss from me
And she runs like a river to the setting sun
She runs like a river that has never been won
She runs like a river that will always be free
Wide river
Carry me back home
To the place I love
That I call my own
And we can run like a river to the setting sun
Run like a river that has never been won
Run like a river that will always be free
Wide river
Do you remember me
It was not so long ago
That you set me free
And now I run like a river to the setting sun
I run like a river that has never been won
I run like a river that will always be free Come on baby
Let's run in circles
Come on darling let's circle each other
And find the love, all the love that we need
Come on baby, let's circle each other
Well, we can do, do for each other
I'll do for you, and you'll do for me
And we can run like a river to the setting sun
Run like a river that has never been won
Run like a river that will always be free
And we can run like a river to the setting sun
Run like a river that has never been won
Run like a river that will always be free
And we can run like a river to the setting sun
Run like a river that has never been won
Run like a river that will always be free
Ooh, mama
Well look what's been done
You can only see the stars
After a setting sun
You run for the money
You don't even know about wild mountain honey
Come on mama
Heal this lonesome man
Grow the tree of wholeness
In this desert land
Come on children
Now learn how to run
By heaven, the stars, the moon and the sun
Come on papa
Your end is the means
Don't trade your love and goodness
For the golden machine
You run for the money

As my time rolls out
As my time rolls out
If I can make it
If I can make it
I'll never kill another man with these hands
Never kill another man
Out working on the virgin ground
Waitin' for the time I could head to town
All those pretty girls, I'll be looking for the pearl
That could bring me up and ease me down
Flying down the dusty road
Little foreign wheels putting on a show
My thoughts are hazy about this girl
Might make me crazy, I bet she will
Never say, never say no
Don't ever let me hear ya say ya gotta go
Never say, never say no
You better say never say no Then she stopped to my surprise
Little foreign wheels want to cross the line
With her voice so soft
Turned the poppin' Johnny off
Then I began to realize
She said her daddy needs to know
'Bout this ol' boy 'fore he lets her go
I'll work for him, then time will tell
He'll get to know me, I bet he will
Never say, never say no
Don't ever let me hear ya say ya gotta go
Never say, never say no
Never let me hear ya say ya gotta go
No, never say, never say no
Never let me hear ya say ya gotta go
Never say, never say no, no
Never say, never say no
Don't ever let me hear ya say ya gotta go
Never say, never say no
Never let me hear ya say ya gotta go
Never say, never say no
Don't ever let me hear ya say ya gotta go
Never say, never say no, no
Don't ever say, never say no
Never let me hear ya say ya gotta go
Never say, never say no
Never let me hear ya say ya gotta go
I don't want nobody to tell me 'bout what to do
Nobody to tell me 'bout me and you
Nobody to tell me 'bout what to do
Nobody to tell me 'bout me and you
Oh baby, nobody but you, baby
Nobody, nobody but you, baby

Woo baby, nobody but you, baby
Nobody, woo baby, nobody but you, baby
Woo nobody, nobody but you, baby
Nobody, nobody but you, baby
All the things you think and say
Float away into space
Done in thought or done in haste
They have no place, they leave no trace
All the things you think and do
Have become a part of you
All your deeds have come to pass
Nothing lasts, nothing lasts
Like a river flowing past your windowpane
Life's never the same
Like the sun you're born to set
You'll die in sin
And be born once again
Now you know, so damn well
That your life is a heaven and a hell
And it's very easy to tell
When you're sick and when you're well So the secret to this life
Is so very easy to learn
If you ever love another
Never ask for anything in return
Like a river flowing past your windowpane
Life's never the same
Like the sun you're born to set
You'll die in sin
And be born once again
All the things you think and say
Float away into space
Done in thought or done in haste
They have no place, they leave no trace
All the things you think and do
Have become a part of you
All your deeds have come to pass
Nothing lasts, nothing lasts
Oh, I'd like to be like a bird up in the sky
Hoppin' from branch to branch and learning to fly
I'd fly right over the hill
Right to your window sill, your window sill
I'm just crazy about you darlin'
You're one in a million
Or I'd like to be like a fish down deep in the sea
Swimmin' from canyon to canyon and feeling free
I'd pull up on your line
Let you catch me any time, any time
I'm just crazy about you darlin'
You're one in a million Or I'd like to be like a great big bumble bee
I'd live in a hive that was hangin' from your tree
I'd make sweet honey for you
That's just what I would do, only for you
I'm just crazy about you darlin'
You, you, you
You're one in a million
Out of the night
You came movin'
Out of the night
Movin' so cool
Lookin' for a lover
Lookin' for a friend
You must surely be some new kind of cool
Out of the night
You came running
Didn't have to baby
But you just couldn't stop
Said that you love me
But you won't tell me why
You better watch it
Watch it, watch it, watch it, watch it
Pretty baby or you're gonna make me cry
I wear my heart on my sleeve
You know the one I love, I'll never leave
I'm not blind to the shining light
Of a heart that's true in the middle of the night Out of the night
You came movin'
Out of the night
Movin' so cool
Say that you love me but don't tell me why
You got to want me, want me, want me
Got to want me pretty baby
Or you're gonna make me cry
Take me for a lover, take me for a friend
Cuz you know if you do
I will stay here with you to the end
I wear my heart on my sleeve
You know the one I love, I'll never leave
I'm not blind to the shining light
Of a heart that's true in the middle of the night
Out of the night
And into the dawn
We keep movin', movin', movin', movin', movin'
Pretty baby, we keep movin' on
Don't worry 'bout tomorrow
Or yesterday
We got to live this life
That we love from day to day to day to day to day
Well, the room is a cyclone
And you are in the eye
There ain't no movement
Things that could die
But the reelin' and the spinnin'
Of the rock and roll sides
Will all be gone before midnight
And die before sunrise
You better go to overdrive
Go to overdrive
If you know what it is
And you wanna stay alive
You better go to overdrive
Go to overdrive
Yes, the corner's full of monkeys
And your ear drum's full of lies
Time is out the window
And there's echoes in your sides
They've been burnin' down your walls
Ever since the peep of dawn
And now the dealer's in the fireplace
Tryin' to turn it on
You better go to overdrive
Go to overdrive
If you know that it's time
And you oughtta take a dive
You better go to overdrive
Go to overdrive Go to overdrive
Go to overdrive
You know what it is
And you wanna stay alive
You better go to overdrive
Go to overdrive
Now the light road's gettin' restless
Cause he knows your overdue
But it's just another train ride
Bein' all the same to you
And the last shot's at your finger tips
Like that flicker in the grass
And the last cord hits the ashes
And you know you gotta pass
You better go to overdrive
Go to overdrive
If you know that it's time
And you oughtta take a dive
You better go to overdrive
Go to overdrive
Here I lie, feel like crying
It's no surprise, I just keep on trying
If you're out there somewhere tonight
Would you think of me, ooo-eee
Baby we live in two separate worlds
Sure ain't living in a perfect world
So I'm calling out wherever you may be
Ooo-eee
I'm all alone
Remember your touch
I'm all alone
I think I love you too much
And I know wherever you are tonight
You'll begin to see
Baby we live in two separate worlds
Sure ain't living in a perfect world
So I'm calling out wherever you may be
Ooo-eee
So you're in the country
Where the air is so pure
You know that's me who's knocking
Baby, knocking on your door And if you're flying in a plane
High up in the sky
You know I'm calling out your name
You know that baby I'm your guy, yeah
Miles between us
And we count the days
Miles between us
And there's two separate ways
I'm with you even when you're far away
Baby we live in two separate worlds
Sure ain't living in a perfect world
So I'm calling out wherever you may be
Oh, oh, oh
Baby we live in two separate worlds
Sure ain't living in a perfect world
I'm with you even when you're far away
Calling out wherever you may be
Calling out wherever you may be
Calling out wherever you may be
Calling out wherever you may be
Calling out wherever you may be
Calling out wherever you may be
Calling out wherever you may be
Calling out wherever you may be
Calling out wherever you may be
Calling out wherever you may be
Thought I didn't need you
You pushed me to it
But I was wrong, girl
Yeah, you didn't do it
My friends tried to tell me
But I was blind
All I can say, babe
I didn't mean to be unkind
She's a quicksilver girl
A lover of the world
She spreads her wings
And she's free
She's a quicksilver girl
A lover of the world
She's seen every branch
On the tree
Ah, ah, quicksilver girl
Ah, ah, quicksilver girl
Ah, ah, quicksilver girl
Ah, ah, quicksilver girl
Ahhhh, ahhhh, ahhhh, ahhhh
If you need a little lovin'
She'll turn on the heat
If you take a fall
She'll put you back on your feet
If you're all alone
She's someone to meet
If you need someone
She's a quicksilver girl
A lover of the world
She spreads her wings
I see you jaded like a debutante
Things your image never shows
There's something hiding deep inside of you
Something that I'll never know
Then I saw you on the streets alone
Had you paged on the corner phone
The words just kept me straining to express
You're hard to break and you still ache
Like a young girl, like a young girl's heart
Like a young girl, just like a young girl's heart I stand here waiting in my lily white
Scan the lines you'll be famous for
Then we'll talk about what's good and what's bad
Romantic moves we won't have to score
Like you were saying what you really want
Ah, it's funny you should ask me now
It was all right there in the story I just read
I'm hard to break and you still ache
Like a young girl, like a young girl's heart
Like a young girl, just like a young girl's heart
Like a young girl, just like a young girl's heart
Like a young girl, like a young girl's heart
Just like a young girl, like a young girl's heart
Like a young girl, just like a young girl's heart
Like a young girl, like a young girl's heart
Like a young girl, just like a young girl's heart
Like a young girl, like a young girl's heart
Just like a young girl's heart
You've got the power
To open the door
You've got the power
It's been done before
Once you get there
You're sure to see
You open your eyes
And love will be easy
Cause there's someone who wants you
Someone to love and please you
Cause there's someone who needs you
Ooooohhhh
Some people call me the space cowboy, yeah
Some call me the gangster of love
Some people call me Maurice
Cause I speak of the pompitous of love
People talk about me, baby
Say I'm doin' you wrong, doin' you wrong
Well, don't you worry baby
Don't worry
Cause I'm right here, right here, right here, right here at home
Cause I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
And I'm a sinner
I play my music in the sun
I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight toker
I sure don't want to hurt no one
I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
And I'm a sinner
I play my music in the sun
I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight toker
I get my lovin' on the run
Wooo Wooooo
You're the cutest thing
That I ever did see
I really love your peaches
Want to shake your tree
Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time
Ooo-eee baby, I'll sure show you a good time
Cause I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
And I'm a sinner
I play my music in the sun
I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight toker
I get my lovin' on the run
I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
And I'm a sinner
I play my music in the sun
I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a midnight toker
I sure don't want to hurt no one
Wooo Woooo
People keep talking about me baby
They say I'm doin' you wrong
Well don't you worry, don't worry, no don't worry mama
Cause I'm right here at home
You're the cutest thing I ever did see
Really love your peaches want to shake your tree
Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time
Winter's people watching
As I sail from season's four
To join some crazy ladies
In a game upon the shore
None of them with broken wings
But still refuse to fly
So with sweetness on my lips
I smile a last goodbye
And now I spend my life
On the velvet side of hell
Aimlessly here searching
For what I cannot tell
The quietness is terrible
It's more than I can stand
But thousands now stand cheering
As my blood flows in the sand
Spoken: You're not the child
You thought you were
You wake up in the night
And know you're blind
And yet they keep on pushing
Trying the insides of your mind
Forever, forever arresting to control
Until the emptiness of heaven welcomes your weary soul
Rise up with the new dawn's early morning
Feel the sunshine warm upon your face
Tomorrow's come a long, long way to help you
Yes, it's your saving grace
Every day, every way
Tomorrow, it's your saving grace
Well, now got no time to worry
Cause I've got no time to hurry
Baby, it's your saving grace
Now don't you lay those blames on me
Don't you play those games on me
Cause baby it's your saving grace
You got to need a little lovin'
Now baby it's your saving grace
Hey, I feel alright
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Your saving grace
Ah, hey, hey, hey
Your saving grace
La la la la la la la la...
Spoken: Your cash ain't nothing but trash (Take 1). Here we go. Yeah, you may have heart about the gangster of love and the space cowboy, but I'm gonna whip a cat on you right now who's had more trouble, trials and tribulations.
One, two, three, hey
Yeah
It's alright
Look here
I was walking down the main track
One night
I met a fine chick
She was built just right
She stopped when I flashed my roll
I told her she could have all of my dough
She turned around and with a frown
She said this ain't no circus
And I don't need a clown
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
And there ain't no need in your hangin' around
Just to make a hit with that chick
I tried to get a Cadillac right quick
The man at the place he looked so strange
I had 900 bucks and some change
We disagreed
I tried to plead
Well, he said I ain't a chicken
And I don't need your feed
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Well, baby you're crawling way past your speed
I was walkin' into town in my white bucks
A man with a gun, he said hands up
I tried to get away but too slow
He got me and took all of my dough
I heard him shout
As he cut out
Well you ain't lost nothin'
What you cryin' about
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
And he took my watch and I passed out
I woke up in the arms of a big cop
Police station
Next stop
Judge swung his fist down
Plunk plunk
$20 fine cause you're drunk
Pick up the dough
And you can go
All I had was a buffalo
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
Your cash ain't nothin' but trash
But I'm sure gonna get me some more

[Instrumental]
Sittin' high on a hillside takin' in all the growth
Time to throw away my problems
Cause I made 'em up myself
So I took all those worries, put 'em up on a shelf
And headed on down to the sea shore
Clouds slowly passin' as I walked on the sand
I picked up a seashell and I made up my plan
I could feel the spirit of life in my hand
As I reached my destiny
Whoa ho ho ho oh oh oh whoa
I feel free
Whoa ho ho ho oh oh oh whoa
Where I can have my own space I walked on the beach in the early morn
I ran on the sand till I could breathe no more
I stood on a rock looking out at the sea
And believed what I said when I said
I feel free
Whoa ho ho ho oh oh oh whoa
I feel free
Whoa ho ho ho oh oh oh whoa
Where I can have my own space
So you think you know just what goes on inside your head, my friend
There is so much more than you and I can comprehend
Things that make you laugh, things that make you cry
Let you love when you feel like you wanna die
There's no answer to the questions that we find inside, my friend
But when we start to wonder why, we wind up further behind, my friend
All we see has always been shown
But there's so many things that I've never known
So you think you know, my friend
But you don't know, my friend, my friend
You think you know
But you don't know
All for one and one for all
It's everything or nothing at all
Listen, my friend
You don't know
No, my friend
You don't know
My dark hour
My dark hour, you know it's drivin' me wild
Well, well, I went to see the doctor
And I had my fortune read
And you know the doctor told me
Son you better stay in bed
Who's that comin' down that road
Looks like he's carryin' a heavy load
{??} and he started to say
Want to come with me on my way
My dark hour, mother nature's child
My dark hour, oh, it's drivin' me wild Well, I went to see the doctor
Just to have my fortune read
Well, well, well, well, well, the doctor told me
Son you better stay in bed
So do you think these sinners will fall
Or do you think they'll survive us all
Well, well, well, well down this road
Won't you help me carry my load
My dark hour, mother nature's child
My dark hour, oh, it's drivin' me wild
My babe, she don't stand no cheatin', my babe
Oh no, she don't stand no cheatin', not my babe
Oh yes, she don't stand no cheatin'
She don't stand none of that midnight creepin'
My babe, true little baby
That's my babe, true little baby
My babe, I know she loves me, my babe
Oh yes, I know she loves me, my babe
Oh yes, I know she loves me
She don't do nothin' but kiss and hug me
My babe, true little baby
That's my babe, true little baby My babe, she don't stand no foolin', my babe
Oh no, she don't stand no foolin', my babe
Oh no, she don't stand no foolin'
When she's hot there ain't no coolin'
My babe, true little baby
That's my babe, true little baby
She's my baby, true little baby
She's my babe, true little baby
She's my baby, true little baby
She's my babe, true little baby
Motherless children have a hard time
When their mother is gone
Motherless children have a hard time
When their mother is gone
Motherless children have a very hard time
All the weepin', all that cryin'
Motherless children have a hard time
When their mother is gone
People say a sister will do
When the mother is gone
People say a sister will do
When the mother is gone
People say a sister will do
She'll get married, turn her back on you
Motherless children have a hard time
When their mother is gone Father do the best he can
When the mother is gone
Father do the best he can
When the mother is gone
Father do the best he can
But there's so many things he just don't understand
Motherless children have a hard time
When their mother is gone
I was lookin' for some place to plead my case
And I'm standing here all alone
I was framed, the times they have change
And I don't know where I'm goin'
Motherless children have a hard time
All that weepin', all that cryin'
Motherless children have a hard time
When their mother is gone

I'm gonna tell you a story 'bout Mary Lou
You know the kind of woman make a fool of you
She make a young man itch
She man an old man fart
The way she took my money was a crying shame
Mary Lou she took my watch and chain
Mary Lou she took my diamond ring
Mary Lou she took the keys to my cadillac car
Jumped in my kitty and drove off far
Left me stranded in Kalamazoo
Making her fortune off a fool like you
She married a rich man
Had a dozen mountain goats
Drove that cat until he flipped his lid
Come back into town about a year ago
Told me she was sorry that she hurt me so
I had a fifty-five Ford and a two dollar bill
The way she looked at that man gave me a chill
[Instrumental]
I know, my baby told me so
Yes, I know, my baby told me so
She said I'm leavin' you, daddy
Got such a long way to go
Well, I can hear your {??} ringin', baby all down that line
Yes I can hear your {??} ringin', baby all down that line
And when I hear your {??} ringin'
I know you're not far behind

Dance a light fandango
Never let me down

Kim, remember what we said
Can you hear me?
Come and play the drum
Come and play the drum

And I'm tryin' to find a job
But it just keeps gettin' tougher every day
But I got to do my part cause I know in my heart
I got to please my sweet baby, yeah
Well, I ain't superstitious
And I don't get suspicious
But my woman is a friend of mine
And I know that it's true that all the things that I do
Will come back to me in my sweet time

Sweet Maree came walking up to me
She moving kind of slow
Said Maree, well, what can the trouble be
She said just don't know
Just don't know
Oh, got something worrying me
Oh, moving slow

[Instrumental]
Somebody somewhere told me
You were gonna break my heart
Somebody somewhere told me
You were gonna break me apart
I didn't listen and I didn't care
I didn't think that talk was anywhere
I didn't listen and I didn't care
Nobody told me 'bout your low down friends
Somebody somewhere help me
I got to find a brand new way
Somebody somewhere help me
I got to make a brand new way I didn't listen and I didn't know
I didn't think it would hurt me so
I didn't listen and I didn't know
Nobody told me 'bout your low down friends
Somebody somewhere help me
I got to turn it, turn it 'round
Somebody somewhere help me
I got to get my feet on the ground
I didn't listen and I didn't care
I didn't think that talk was anywhere
I didn't listen and I didn't know
I didn't think it would hurt me so
[Instrumental]
I told you 'bout living in the U.S. of A.
Don't you know that I'm a gangster of love
Let me tell you people that I found a new way
And I'm tired of all this talk about love
And the same old story with a new set of words
About the good and the bad and the poor
And the times keep on changin'
So I'm keepin' on top
Of every fat cat who walks through my door
I'm a space cowboy
Bet you weren't ready for that
I'm a space cowboy
I'm sure you know where it's at
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I was born on this rock
And I've been travelin' through space
Since the moment I first realized
What all you fast talkin' cats would do if you could
You know, I'm ready for the final surprise
There ain't no way around it
Ain't nothing to say
That's gonna satisfy my soul deep inside
All the prayers and surveyors
Keep the whole place uptight
While it keeps on gettin' darker outside
I'm a space cowboy
Bet you weren't ready for that
I'm a space cowboy
I'm sure you know where it's at
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I see the show downs, slow downs, lost and found, turn arounds
The boys in the military shirts
I keep my eyes on the prize, on the long fallen skies
And I don't let my friends get hurt
All you back room schemers, small trip dreamers
Better find something new to say
Cause you're the same old story
It's the same old crime
And you got some heavy dues to pay
I'm a space cowboy
Bet you weren't ready for that
I'm a space cowboy
I'm sure you know where it's at
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Say that you love me a little bit
Say that I do something special
I don't want no sympathy
But you mean the world to me
Say that you need me and let me know
Say that I do something special
It wouldn't take that much of your precious time
But I need a little love to carry on
A busy life is no excuse
For leaving me alone
I hope you know what you lost
When it's gone
Say that you love me a little bit
Say that I do something special
I don't want no sympathy
But you mean the world to me
Say that you need me and let me know
Say that I do something special Remember how we used to love and carry on
And how I used to dance you across the floor
The way it was compared to now
Is tearin' me apart
We never say I love you anymore
Say that you love me a little bit
Say that I do something special
Something special
Something special
Something special
Ooooooooo
Ooooooooo
You give me something to come home to, baby
You give me something to believe in
I know in my heart
You have loved me from the start
Whoa, baby
I know that it's real
I can tell by the way that I feel
Oh
You give me something to believe in
Yes, and you give me something to go on living for
And I know in my heart
You have loved me
From the start
Whoa, baby
I know that it's real
I can tell by the way that I feel Lie down, my love, lie down
I will sing you a lullaby
Lie down, my love, lie down
Rest easy and close your eyes
Like clear water in a mountain stream
I will come to you in your dreams
Like pictures reflected in a mountain lake
I will be with you when you wake
You give me something to hold on to
You give me something to believe in
And I know in my heart
You have loved me
From the start
Whoa, baby
I know that it's real
I can tell by the way that I feel
Oh, oh
Lie down, my love, lie down
I will sing you a lullaby
Lie down, my love, lie down
Rest easy and close your eyes
Like clear water in a mountain stream
I will comfort you in your dreams
Like pictures reflected in a mountain lake
I will be with you when you wake
You have a cup of coffee and another cigarette
You're waiting for your baby but she hasn't shown yet
And if she doesn't make it, well you've got no regrets
Because you can't win or lose if you ain't made no bets
And then she comes in walkin' lookin' fine as you please
You wanna stop and drop right down on your knees
And say baby
Whoa
You say you never worry cause you don't need a home
Don't need an address, don't need a phone
And you don't have to worry 'bout bein' alone
Cause you can make your music on a ten cent comb
And then she comes in walkin' lookin' fine as you please
You wanna stop and drop right down on you knees
And say baby
Whoa
I'm a stranger here
And I just moved into your town
I'm a stranger here
And I just moved into your town
Because I'm a stranger
Everybody's doggin' me around
Doggin' me around
Sometimes I wonder why they treat a stranger so
Yes sir, sometimes I wonder why they treat a stranger so
They all should remember that they're
They're gonna reap just what they sow
Just what they sow
Sometimes I wonder do my baby know I'm here
Sometimes I wonder do my baby know I'm here
You know that she do
My baby don't really care
Well, I'm goin' down south if I wear out 99 pair of shoes
Well, I'm goin' down south if I wear out 99 pair of shoes
You know I will be welcome, I won't have these stranger blues
These stranger blues
Well, the train stopped here cause the tracks are out of line
Well, the train stopped here cause the tracks are out of line
I'm gonna pack my bags
I'm gonna move on down that line
[Instrumental]
I was your steppin' stone
I was your little dog's bone
But now you've made it without me
You know all about me
And that's all right
You cry
The whole night long
I try
Love's right and wrong
And now the sun's sleepin' through
And it's down on you, too
It's just not fair Now what is right is right
And what's done's done
But before you come 'round my door, woman
Gonna see where you're comin' from
Better count up your change
And put a smile on your mind
Before you want away for any more of my time
I couldn't have loved you better
I could have loved you worse
I know what comes last baby
And you've known it from the first
I was your steppin' stone
I was your little dog's bone
But now you've made it without me
You know all about me
And that's all right
Singing a song of love
Growing each day
Knowing how it's been
Living for today
I wanted to love you, babe
I swear I do know how
To go back is pointless
Understand this now
Our time, it hasn't been too long
It all seems to drift away
No more the past
It's the future
That I'm living for today
And if it's not getting you
Where ever you need to go
There's still a place in my heart
If you did not know this is so In my first mind
You are so fine
All the good things you do
Are in my own time
In my second mind
I can see you grow
Feel you flow
It moves my soul, yeah
Feel like I'm livin' under some kind of hex
Livin' in here in this industrial military complex
Doesn't really help when I read Time magazine
Cause they only distort the scene
The sky is so hazy I can't even see the sun
Livin' here is like livin' under a gun
I really do wonder 'bout the United Nations
Why don't they face the situations
I'm a troubadour
Lookin' for a dream
I'm a troubadour
Lookin' for some dream
Lord, I'm so tired of payin' all of these dues
From Sunday to Sunday all I hear is bad news
Tired of the war and those industrial fools
Got to make it better cause I've got nothin' to lose Ain't too clear to pay my income taxes
'Specially when I know it goes to kill the masses
Love to hear the President make it perfectly clear
How the donkeys and the elephants are police up here
I'm a troubadour
Lookin for a dream
I'm a troubadour
Lookin for some dream
Lord, I'm so tired of payin' all of these dues
From Sunday to Sunday all I hear is bad news
Tired of the war and those industrial fools
I've got to make it better cause I've got nothin' lose
Won't somebody help me cause I've gotten in my shoes
Those industrial military complex blues
I went to bed late last night
Pulled down the shade
And turned out the light
I fell asleep, and I began to dream
The most extraordinary beautiful dream
Incense and perfume filled the air
The sound of music was everywhere
I met a woman by a babbling brook
She was gifted, she was wise
She was reading a book
She talked about virtue
She talked about vice
She acted kinda naughty
But she looked real nice
I could see her body move
To the rhythm, to the beat
Of a powerful groove
Her lips are red
Her body is soft
She is a movin' volcano
Man, I mean she's hot
She got the long cool legs
She got the sexy sexy style
She got the cool sweet walk
She got the beautiful smile
When I awoke, it was the break of day
I got to go to work, I got to earn my pay
I am a man who works on the line
I'm the muscle, I'm the blood, I'm the overtime
I gotta lift that bail
Work my fingers to the bone
You know I can't stop the train
I gotta let it roll on
No need to dream about it anymore
Cuz I found my dream lover on the 13th floor
Incense and perfume filled the air
The sound of music was everywhere
I met a woman by a babbling brook
She was gifted, she was wise
She was reading a book
Her lips are red
Her body is soft
She is a movin' volcano
Man, I mean she's hot No need to dream about it anymore
Cuz I found my dream lover on the 13th floor
She got the long cool legs
She got the sexy sexy style
She got the cool sweet walk
She got the beautiful smile
She got the long cool legs
She got the sexy sexy style
She got the cool sweet walk
She got the beautiful smile
Her lips are red
Her body is soft
She is a movin' volcano
Man, I mean she's hot
No need to dream about it anymore
Cuz I found my dream lover on the 13th floor
She got the long cool legs
She got the sexy sexy style
She got the cool sweet walk
She got the beautiful smile
She got the long cool legs
She got the sexy sexy style
She got the cool sweet walk
She got the beautiful smile

Ohh woo woo ooh ooh ooh ooh
I was down in Nashville just payin' my dues
Headed for Ohio when I read the news
'Bout the people demonstrating 'gainst the President's views
Four were shot down by the National Guard troops
Just like Uncle Sam I put on my fighting shoes
School shot down cause there's no more to lose
Now we're headed to D.C. two by twos
Cause those low down, profound, killin' four blues
Lookin' for my Congressman to make it well known
But the politicians already won't answer his telephone
Making in his office while they're shooting kids down at home
Worried about the voters but he won't be worried long
Silent majority still glued to the tube
Say CIA ain't lookin', FBI come unglued
Shot some more in Jackson just to show the world what they can do
While we're marching to D.C. cause there's too much to do
Give peace a chance
Give peace a chance
There's no turnin' back my friend
There's no turnin' back
When the President said that the tear gas is gone
The army's pulled out leavin' blood on the ground
The streets are empty and the crying's died down
You can be President if no one's around
Just like Kow Kow, you've heard it before
Get back gangster, don't you open that door
Space Cowboy's back to tell you the score
Nothing any good is gonna come from a war
Got those low down, profound, killin' four blues
Give peace a chance
Give peace a chance
Give peace a chance
Sittin' here thumbin' through the pages of a magazine
The pages tell me come right away, you know what I mean
The air is so spacey, the ladies are lacey
And there is nothing you gotta do
But eat hot chili
Hot chili is groovy
After a movie or watching TV
But when you order
South of the border
Soon you see
It's hotter than noon
It will melt your spoon
So buddy, you better get ready
For eatin' hot chili
It's not silly
To eat hot chili
Passport in hand
I made my plan to get away
Hopped on a plane
Rode out of the rain the very same day
Soon as I landed
My wish it was granted
Lovely senoritas always drinkin' tequila, yeah, yeah, yeah
And eatin' hot chili
Eatin' hot chili
I love hot chili
Ooh I love it hot chili
Hot chili, ooh
I want you
I need you
Cause I love you
I, I, I, I love you
Where shall we go
What shall we do
Cause I love you
I, I, I, I love you
Do do do do do do.....
I wanna be loved
But by only you
I wanna be loved
But by only you
Because I never had a love as true
Your kiss is so sweet
Honey your love is light
Your kiss is so sweet
Honey your love is light
Come on and love me
Honey love me tonight I wanna be loved
But by only you
I wanna be loved
But by only you
Because I know
I know your love is true
I wanna be loved
But by only you
I wanna be loved
But by only you
Because I never had a love as true
I don't want to live in a world of darkness
I want to live in a world of light
I don't want to live in a world that's heartless
I want to live in a world of sight
Well you know, I want to make the world turn around
Living in a world of justice
Living in a world of shame
Living in a world of freedom
Living in a world of pain
Well you know, I want to make the world turn around
Turn the darkness into light
Turn the hunger into life
Turn the wrong into right
Put an end to the strife
Turn the blindness into sight
Save a human life
Make the world turn around I want to live in a world of gladness
I want to know what your heart is made of
Don't want to live in a world of sadness
I want to live in a world of love
Well you know, I want to make the world turn around
Living in a world of justice
Living in a world of light
Living in a world of freedom
Living in a world of sight
I want to send a message
To every boy and girl
I want to send a message
About the world
We got to build it up
Stop tearing it down
We got to build it up
Make the world turn around
Don't you know that I'm high on you mama

Like a horse and rider (Like a horse and rider)

I'm coming to you, coming to you
And there's nothing pretty baby that I wouldn't rather do
Look outside your window, look into the night
Hold on to your heart now darling, I'll be there in the morning light
Like a horse and rider (Like a horse and rider)
Like a midnight flyer (Like a midnight flyer)
I'm coming to you, coming to you
And there's nothing pretty baby that I wouldn't rather do
Look outside your window, look into the night
Hold on to your heart now darling, I'll be there in the morning light
Like a horse and rider
Like a horse and rider (Like a horse and rider)
Like a horse and rider (Like a midnight flyer)

You got to have rock love
To weather the storm
It's got to be rock love
To help you carry on
When the winds of temptation move your soul
Stay with me now, don't you let it go
I told you so
Rock love will weather the storm
You got to have rock love to hear your song
It's got to be rock love, yeah
To make you strong
When everybody puts you down
The rock of love will be around
It's solid ground Rock love will weather the storm
Rock love, yeah, will help you carry on
Sweet Jesus will see you through
Your trials, tribulations too
No matter how far you go
Still I will love you so
I told you so
Rock love will weather the storm
Yeah
Thought about the folks back home
All those miles that we had roamed
Still can see your pretty hair
When I come back will you be there
You flew away like a kite
I hope you find your light
I pray they treat you right
What a sacrifice
Miles and miles I have roamed
Lookin' for that home sweet home
Thought I had the love with you
But I found out that you weren't true
You made me feel so nice
Ready for wedding rice
Then you said no dice
What a sacrifice Lookin' back on time that's gone
I realized I might have been wrong
But Macon took you for a ride
They broke us up for their own pride
But you were young and didn't understand
That you had found your lifetime man
Maybe someday you'll see
It gets so lonely being free
So don't be wrong twice
What a sacrifice
There's a plane goin' down the runway
Believe I better go with with it
There's a train goin' by the highway
Believe I better roll with it
I don't know what's got into me
All I know is I've got to be free
Take off all these chains that bind me
Once I'm gone, you'll never find me Did she love you
Mmmm Hmmm
Did she need you
Mmmm Hmmm
Did she please you
Mmmm Hmmm
Did she leave you
Mmmm Hmmm
Iiii, Iiii, Iiii, Iiii
Iiii, Iiii, Iiii, Iiii
Did you see the lights
As they fell all around you
Did you hear the music
Serenade from the stars
Wake up, wake up
Wake up and look around you
We're lost in space
And the time is our own
Whoa, whoa
Iiiiiiiiii
Did you feel the wind
As it blew all around you
Did you feel the love
That was in the air
Wake up, wake up
Wake up and look around you
We're lost in space
And the time is our own
Whoa, whoa
Iiiiiiiiii
The sun comes up
And it shines all around you
You're lost in space
And the earth is your own
Whoa, whoa
Summer, fall, winter, spring
Of the seasons I will sing
To help you through your birth
As you spend your time on earth
In the wind
The summer song won't last long
When this warm old man has come
I'll sing your of your birth
As you spend your time on earth
In the wind
And so it goes
As the wind blows
The seasons will flow
To help you through your birth
As you spend your time on earth
In the wind A mother's child
A father's son
In this crowd, I'm only one
To tell you of your worth
As you spend your time on earth
In the wind
And so it goes
As the wind blows
And so it goes
As the wind blows

Goin' to the country just to feel like gold
People in the country really let themselves go
Hey, ho, one thing I know
People in the country got one thing for sure
Hey, ho, one thing I know
Every mother's child really lets himself go
Goin' to the country and leavin' right away
No time to talk I got to make a getaway
Gonna leave the city it's a crime and a shame
People in the city are goin' insane Hey, ho, one thing I know
Every mother's child really lets himself go
Hey, ho, one thing I know
People in the country really let themselves go
Joining hands
Making plans
Come on down
Look around
[Instrumental]
I can see the harbor lights
Looks like the fourth of July
Maybe Christmas night
Reflected in water
In my cell, behind this wall
I share my time
With many a soul who is lost
Why must I always be a loser
Why can't I ever be a winner
So as time
Goes rolling by
I lose my chance
It's only one life
If I had the wings of an angel
O'er these prison walls I would fly
Straight from the darkness into the light
Why must I always be a loser
Why can't I ever be a winner
Spoken: My dearest darling, as I'm writing you this letter
They're coming to take me away
They're beginning to shave my head now, sweetheart
But as their doing it
I just want you to know
That I wouldn't have it any other way
I'm glad that I killed your mother
She was a low-down dirty old hag
But in the end darling
You will get your revenge
Because you see
Their gonna send you my belongings
In a plastic bag
La, la, la
A plastic bag
Sittin' here waitin', anticipatin'
What I'm gonna do to you
You may not see it
But you sure do need it
And I'll change your mind 'fore you're through
Been cool so far, but I'm gonna steal your car
And you'll learn to dig it too, baby
Come {??} and it won't be long
Before you feel me comin' through
I've got no hands on the wheel
But I'm drivin' by feel
And I got you sewn up and surrounded too
Take you down the track in a burlap sack
And you'll learn to dig it too
You're my horse and you never win a race
But I got to foot this {??} to you
You better not brag, you're a hunky old hag
And that goes for your mother too
Well you tell me you love, gonna slug you in the eye
And you'll learn to dig it baby
Well you've got a job and I've heard that before
And you're in the same line as Pussy Galore
You wear your dresses short
And I'll see you in court
You better bring me back some money or don't knock on my door
Gonna get me a whip and I'm gonna teach you to skip
And you'll learn to dig it baby
Well, I'm movin' faster
Than the plaster casters
And all your groupies too
Got love cause you need it, baby
And we're gonna mess with you
It's not the way that love is meant to be
You took me by surprise but now I see
You know this heartache-night is killing me
(Baby bye-bye)
Forget the past, honey
Better try someone new (Baby don't cry)
There's nothing left here
For me or for you
You know this heartache-night
Will soon be through
Goodbye love
Goodbye love
Goodbye love
What's done is done, darling
This much is true
It's all over now
Don't be blue
You know this heartache-night
Will soon be through Goodbye love
Goodbye love
Goodbye love
Baby bye-bye
Goodbye love
Baby bye-bye
Goodbye love
Baby bye-bye
Goodbye love
Goodbye love
Goodbye love
When all the faces are filled with joy
Life's a holiday, whoa yeah
Now I'm feeling more and more this way
As morning leads the day I say oh boy
Now the darkest night has run to hiding shadows
Sunbeams come a dancing in the aisle
Here comes her majesty and royal sunshine
Arising in the wind of heaven's child Good morning to you
Good morning to you
Good morning to you
Good morning to you
Here we are in our places
With bright, shining faces
And in our eyes is the new day
Good morning
Good, good, good, good morning
Good, good, good, good morning
Good, good, good, good morning
Yeah
I've got a heart like a wheel
Feel like I got to roll
Ooohh
Heart like a wheel
I told you so
And I've been loving you for so long
You are the one
Heart so real
I love you so
Well, I can give what I take
And you know I want to give you my love
Babe I ain't faking
You know I want to give you my love
I've been loving you for so long
You are the one
Heart so real
I love you so
Come on and roll
I've been loving you for so long
You are the one
Heart so real
I love you so
It takes two to make love
It takes love to make a family real
I got to know what you need
I got to know what you really feel And I've been loving you for so long
You are the one
Heart so real
I love you so
Come on and roll
You know it's such a pity
If you're going to get the summertime blues
Lovers everywhere are pairing off two by twos
And I've been loving you for so long
You are the one
Heart so real
I love you so
I've been loving you for so long
You are the one
Heart so real
I love you so
I've got a heart like a wheel
I love you so
I've got a heart like a wheel
I've got to roll
I know you took too long
Deep inside you baby something wrong
You got to get down, to the truth
I know it may hurt you mama but you got to do it
In the end it will heal your heart
Yes it will
In the end it will heal your heart
Yes it will
I gave you my love baby, you just used it
Gave you direction mama but you just lose it
People kept telling me that you were just crazy
I won't buy their talking baby, I know you just lazy
In the end it will waste your heart
Yes it will
In the end it will waste your heart I was worried about your tomorrow
I was worried about all your sorrow
I know you took too long
Deep inside you mama there's something wrong
You got to get down to the truth
I know I may hurt you baby but you got to do it
In the end it will heal your heart
Yes it will
In the end it will heal your heart
Yes it will
Yes it will, yes it will, yes it will, yes it will

Recorded live at the Aquarius Theatre, Boston
You know
If somebody, somewhere done you wrong
Oh, don't worry about your revenge, no
I said if somebody, somewhere done you wrong
Oh, don't worry about your revenge, no no
'Cause that's when evil
Oh, evil slips on in
Hey, when I first met you baby
You were nothing but a child
When I first met you baby
I used to let you run wild But somewhere, somehow
Lord, I don't know how
All your goodness
Slipped away
And that's when evil
Yeah
Evil let it stay
Evil let it stay, yeah
Evil's with me in the morning
Evil's with me and I can't get away, no
But there's gonna come a time
Oh, when somebody else is gonna pay
Gonna pay baby
[Instrumental]
Meet me at the station about a quarter past five
That's about the time that I come alive, yeah
Don't make sense if it ain't the real thing y'all
Nothing but the real thing makes my bell ring
Love me baby, won't you love me please
You got me down here on my knees, yeah
I'm so glad that I'm still alive
Come on baby, won't you make me feel good now
Come on baby now don't be too slow
Now I'm in a hurry, you know I got to go
Don't make sense if you don't know how to move
I'm a natural born lover, I was born in a groove, yeah
Oooh
Spoken: It's Jumpin' Jack Flash on the drums
Big boss man
Can't you hear me when I call
Big boss man
Can't you hear me when I call
Well, you ain't so big
You just tall that's all
You got me workin' boss man
Workin' 'round the clock
I want a little drink of water
But you just won't let me stop
Big boss man
Can't you hear me when I call
Well, you ain't so big
You just tall that's all Now I'm gonna get me a boss man
One that's gonna treat me right
Work hard in the day time
Rest easy at night
Big boss man
Can't you hear me when I call
Well, you ain't so big
You just tall that's all
Well, you ain't so big
You just tall that's all
I'm half a sinner, and I'm half a saint
It's hard to tell by the company I keep
That I'm tryin' to live in a state of grace
It's risky business, it's the queen of hearts
That's the way it is, there's no holds barred
But if your dream comes true, there's something to sing about
Blue eyes, I don't want to lose you
Don't lie, I don't want to lose
Blue eyes, I don't want to lose your love
Sweet satisfaction, wrapped in the arms of a warm embrace
No fascination could ever take your place
Light up the shadows
Brick by brick the walls come down
Who can judge your magic love
So mystically profound
Blue eyes, I don't want to lose you
Don't lie, I don't want to lose
Blue eyes, I don't want to cry
Don't cry, I don't want to lose
Blue eyes, I don't want to lose your love
Ooh, I need you
You know I need you so much
Ooh, I need
I can't resist your warm touch
Eyes, blue eyes
How many times must the words be spoken
Eyes, blue eyes
How many times must the heart be broken tonight
Blue eyes, I don't want to lose you
Don't lie, I don't want to lose
Blue eyes, I don't want to lose your love
Sweet satisfaction, wrapped in the arms of a warm embrace
No fascination could ever take your place
Light up the shadows
Brick by brick the walls come down
Who can judge your magic love
So mystically profound
Blue eyes, I don't want to lose you
Don't lie, I don't want to lose
Blue eyes, I don't want to cry
Don't cry, I don't want to lose
Blue eyes, I don't want to lose your love
Ooh, I need you
You know I need you so much
Ooh, I need
I can't resist your warm touch
Eyes, blue eyes
How many times must the words be spoken
Eyes, blue eyes
How many times must the heart be broken tonight
Blue eyes, I don't want to lose you
Don't lie
Blue eyes, I don't want to lose you
Don't lie
Blue eyes, I don't want to lose you
Don't lie
I don't want to lose
Blue eyes, I don't want to cry
Don't cry
Inside her silver house, alone
She sings a song
Of water turned to sand
She waits, her time is her own
Inside her looking glass
Black is the color she sees
While waiting for the sun
She lives, so patiently
Young man travelling along
Passes by a window
Singing a song
Feel the wind blow
As my blood flows
Through the shadows
Of my soul, today
See the rainbows
As my love grows
My heart knows
What my mind won't say The living is easy
I'm born to be free
The living is easy
There's no reason to explain
Sitting in her sitting room, patiently
She waits for a change, suddenly
Oh, the changes come
Hearing a song, her blood begins to flow
She no longer is alone
Lying in her sitting room, silently
He touches her hand, joyfully
And so love has begun
With joy in her heart
She receives his flowing soul
And love grows
And it grows
And it grows
Inside her purple house
Oh Lord, filled by her man
A child begins to grow
Oh Lord, who can understand
Well, I went to see my woman
Way back down on the farm
Went to see my woman
Way back on the farm
Sundown's gonna catch me
In my sweet baby's arms
She likes to rock
She likes to roll
She likes to
Push, push, push to the stroll
Down, down, down, down
Down behind the barn
Sundown's gonna catch me
In my sweet baby's arms
You know, we went up on the mountain
Looked down on the sea
Went up on the mountain
And we looked down on the sea
You know, sundown's gonna catch me
Lovin' my sweet baby She likes to rock

Some folks were meant to live in clover
But they are such a chosen few, chosen few
And clover being green
Is something I've never seen
Cause I was born to be blue
When there's a yellow moon above me
They say there's moonbeams I should view, I should view
But moonbeams being gold
Are something I can't behold
Cause I was born to be blue
When I met you
The world was bright and sunny
When you left the curtain fell
I'd like to laugh
But nothing strikes me funny
Now my world's a faded pastel, oh well
I guess I'm luckier than some folks
Woo woo woo
I've known the thrill of lovin' you, lovin' you
And that alone is more than I was created for
Cause I was born to be blue
When I met you
The world was bright and sunny
When you left the curtain fell
I'd like to laugh
But nothing strikes me funny
Now my world's a faded pastel, oh well
I guess I'm luckier than some folks
I've known the thrill of lovin' you, lovin' you
And that alone is more than I was created for
Cause I was born to be blue

Nobody loves you like the way I do
Light rain's over
The sun's all around
Four leaf clover
As I pull you down
I'll take you over
You're tied at the stake
Nobody loves you like the way I do
Nobody loves you like the way I do
Nobody loves you like the way I do

Got no place to go
Sun is going down, man

Sittin' in the bar out at the airport
Tryin' to flag a plane
Plane she won't fly
Plane she won't fly

Everybody wants to be her man
Everybody knows her name
And every single time that she walks by
Everybody just falls back lame
Everybody wants to see her
Ain't nobody wants to talk
They're afraid that they might say too much
Afraid that she might walk
You know she walks like a lady
But she acts like a child
She can drive you crazy
Yeah, she can drive you wild
Talks like a baby
But she looks like a lady to me
Why do they blame her
Why do they call her name that way
All they want to do is
Try to shame her
Try to make her play their game that way
They'll never chain her down
They'll never make her stay that way
She's not that way
You can't explain her cause all she wants to do is
Walk like a lady
But she acts like a child
She can drive you crazy
Yeah, she can drive you wild
Talks like a baby, but she looks like a lady to me Time just keeps on passin'
Till I finally asked her out
She said pick me up at eight
And don't be late
And we'll see what you're about
Up to the drive just ready to roll
The girl was no where to be seen
She stood me up, she knocked me down
Boy, that girl is mean
You know she walks like a lady
But she acts like a child
She can drive you crazy
Yeah, she can drive you wild
Talks like a baby, but she looks like a lady to me
Why do they blame her
Why do they call her name that way
All they want to do is
Try to shame her
Try to make her play their game that way
They'll never chain her down
They'll never make her stay that way
She's not that way
You can't explain her cause all she wants to do is
Walk like a lady
Talk like a lady
You know she walks like a lady
You know she talks like a baby
Walk like a lady
Talk like a lady
You know she walks like a lady
You know she talks like a baby
Looks like a lady to me
Looks like a lady to me
Looks like a lady to me

When Sunny gets blue
Her eyes get gray and cloudy
Then the rain begins to fall
Pitter, patter, pitter, patter
Love has gone so what can matter
No lover man comes to call
When Sunny gets blue
She breathes a sigh of sadness
Like the wind that stirs the tree
Wind that sets the leaves to swayin'
Like some violins are playin'
Weird and haunting melody
People used to love to hear her laugh, to see her smile
That's how she got her name
Since that sad affair
She's lost her smile, she's changed her style
Somehow she's not the same
But memories will fade and pretty dreams will rise up
Where her other dreams fell through
Hurry new love, hurry here
And brush away each falling tear and hold her near
When Sunny gets blue
People used to love to hear her laugh, to see her smile
That's how she got her name
Since that sad affair
She's lost her smile, she's changed her style
Somehow she's not the same
But memories will fade and pretty dreams will rise up
Where her other dreams fell through
Hurry new love, hurry here
And brush away each falling tear and hold her near
Ask my baby what she wants to be
She'll say a monkey swingin' in a tree
Ask my baby what she's thinkin' of
She'll say there's nothing greater than love
Well, look through the window
Tell me what do you see
A beautiful planet
Peace and harmony
Think love you're surrounded
We are one you and I
Gather your leaves together
There's only love until we die
Until we die
Ask my baby what she's goin' through
She'll say the same thing, the same thing as you
Ask my baby what she's thinkin' of
She'll say there's nothing greater than love
Look through the window
Tell me what do you see
A beautiful planet
Peace and harmony
Think love you're surrounded
We are one you and I
Gather your leaves together
There's only love until we die
I've been digging something up
Bet you thought I've been sleeping
Having trouble waking up
It's just the hours I've been keeping
Up in this attic all alone
The situation's unnerving
And while the candle's going out
Each weathered page I keep turning
Looking back, fundamental romance
Some are still around
Some went underground
Criticize all the letters I find in this tattered book
Please take a look
The things I told you I never told anyone
And all this time you knew
You'd always be my only one
I've been looking something up
It always seems to amaze me
That's just the way we used to dance
You never thought it was crazy
The things I told you I never told anyone
And all this time you knew
You'd always be my only one
Just you
The things I told you I never told anyone
And all this time you knew
You'd always be my only one
It always seems to amaze me
You never thought it was crazy
Looking back, fundamental romance, campus Romeo
But only you would know
I realize that you've waited so long for the cards to fall
And after all
The things I told you I never told anyone
And all this time you knew you'd always be my only one
The things I told you I never told anyone
And all this time you knew you'd always be my only one
[Instrumental]
Sittin' gettin' higher in the back of a limousine
While people all around me
They are finding it harder to dream
Impossible people seen only in nightmares
Are beginning to make it real
And disorder keeps fadin'
The times they are changin'
Well, I wish I was behind the wheel
So I could live it just a little bit longer
Do my best to make our love stronger
In a while I know it's gonna change
We've got to live it just a little bit longer
Do our best to make our love stronger
In a while I know it's gonna change
Well, time and time and time again
I've been stuck out in the rain
But life has been so doggone sweet
There's no reason to complain
But the time has come for all to be one
Yes, we can talk about it now
And from the middle of the mess
Here comes one more guess
And I know it's gonna work somehow
If we can live it just a little bit longer
Do our best to make our love stronger
In a while I know it's gonna change
We've got to live it just a little bit longer
Do our best to make our love stronger
In a while I know it's gonna change Cause we've gotta live it just a little bit longer
Do our best to make our love stronger
In a while I know it's gonna change
We've got to live it just a little bit longer
Do our best to make our love stronger
In a while I know it's gonna change
Now who would ever believe it could happen
Right here in my hometown
Especially when it's so far north
Of the Mason-Dixon line
But some of the people they just won't forget
While others slip into regret
And if things keep goin' the way they're goin'
I just might get killed yet
But I wanna live it just a little bit longer
Do my best to make our love stronger
In a while I know it's gonna change
We've got to live it just a little bit longer
Do our best to make our love stronger
In a while I know it's gonna change
And in a while I know it's gonna change
And in a while I know it's gonna change
My grandpa, he's 95
And he keeps on dancin'
He's still alive
My grandma, she's 92
She loves to dance
And sing some, too
I don't know
But I've been told
If you keep on dancing
You'll never grow old
Come on darling
Put a pretty dress on
We're gonna go out tonight
Dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance
All night long
I'm a hard working man
I'm a son of a gun
I've been working all week in the noon day sun
The wood's in the kitchen
And the cow's in the barn
I'm all cleaned up and my chores are all done
Take my hand, come along
Let's go out and have some fun
Come on darling put a pretty dress on
We're gonna go out tonight
Dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance
All night long

Dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance
All night long
Come on darling, don't look that way
Don't you know when you smile
I've got to say you're my honey pumpkin lover
You're my heart's delight
Don't you want to go out tonight
You're such a pretty lady
You're such a sweet girl
When you dance it brightens up my world
Come on darling put a pretty dress on
We're gonna go out tonight
And dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance
Dance, dance, dance

Not fuss or fight, but...I really wanna talk to you
You see, I'm not in agreement with the law this morning
So don't be my judge and jury, do I get through to you
But every time I try to build up my case
You tear it down with your pretty face
You stand your ground
And show the lightning in your eyes
And then I feel it
Cool magic wins me over
Oh, so silent, always strong and I tell ya
Cool magic wins me over
So, I surrender to your charm
I'm too defensive to give up without a fight
But you know my motions what am I gonna do
Although it seems it's never-ending
And I'm desperate
To live right here
Under your spell tonight
And every time I try to build up my case
You tear it down with your pretty face
You stand your ground and
Show the lightning in your eyes
And then I feel it
Cool magic wins me over
Oh, so silent, always strong and I tell ya
Cool magic wins me over
So I surrender to your charm
Just when I feel I'm 'bout to lose my mind
Then here it comes again one more time
I really need it
Cool magic wins me over

Cool magic wins me over
So I surrender to your charm
Cool magic

There's some things I can't find
Some are better left alone
There are few things I won't find
Some are better left alone
Like that bulldog in the bathroom
Like that wombat on the phone
As I float in my leer jet
Without a sling shot or a shield
As I hang in my leer jet
Without a shotgun or a shield
Hey, a flying saucer wobbled past
With a bulldog at the wheel
Yeah Can you give us a description
Said the air force on the phone
Can you certify you've seen this
Said the air force on the phone
No, but here's his passport
And his teeth mark's on the phone
If I take a long vacation
And nail my bulldog to a wall
If I leave this smoggy nation
And nail my bulldog to a wall
If my bulldog keeps his mouth shut
Will you remember me at all
Oh, the days are gettin' brighter
Yeah, I'm a lucky man
Got the smile comin' on
Reach out and shake my hand
Cause just to see you in the morning
Well, honey it makes me smile
That you keep on keepin' on
Get me down off of this here
I can't feel, it's not too clear
And how I worry when you're not near But it's all so easy
Yes, it's all so easy to please, babe
Life's gonna be my pleasure
If I can only get enough
But I feel it all up around me
And the pain gets so rough
If you come right here and love me
You know I'll make it true
That you keep on keepin' on

The prairies, the deserts
Of the U.S.A.

Hollywood gave her a call
She went and lived it all
On the silver screen Sometimes she laughed and she cried
She kept it all inside
For the magazines
The silver screen
The Hollywood dream
Dit dit die o

Dit dit die o
She lives in an ivory tower
A tower built by fame
Um Hummmm
She's got the wealth and power
But she hasn't got a man
Um Hummmm
No matter how hard she tried
She was so empty inside
So lonely
She hung her head and she cried
Was it the love she denied
Never satisfied
Deep inside
She said goodbye
She paid the price for her fame
Everyone knows her name
America
A superstar
She'd come so far

My dearest darling, come closer to Maurice so I can whisper
sweet words of epismetology in your ear and speak to you of
the pompitous of love. Even though our road is rough and
long, for you to leave me at this time darling, must surely
be wrong. So come back and reconsider one more thing. Maurice
is the only one to make your little heart sing.

Ooh mama ooh, ooh mama ooh
I'm gonna buy you some brand new shoes

I don't know why you won't make no more apple pie. Since you've
been gone it's been starvation mama, ever since I lost my
probation. Don't you remember the time that you ended up in
jail? That's right darling, it was Maurice who went your bail.
Now, there's just one more thing that I want to say before you turn
and walk away.
Bom Bom Bom Bom do wah da di dit
Bom Bom Bom Bom do wah da di dit
Bom Bom Bom Bom do wah da di dit...
Darling please, don't walk out that door, you must reconsider
darling, you've done it so many times before. It's not too late,
It's never too late, precious one, for Maurice to love you.
Just remember sweetheart, I bought myself a gun and I will be
the only one.
