Death in the wilderness It's a hopeless case I guess Who's looking out for the wilder side It will soon all be gone You can tell it won't be long We'll find the wilderness has died We'll be the lonely one Concrete, plastic human throng Tellin' one another have you heard the news We'll mow it down, we'll rape the ground 'Til there's nothing left to abuse The rabbit, he'll be gone The bird will sing no song The wolf, the bear, the lion too The insect far and near, creatures like the deer We'll put in cages at the zoo Death in the wilderness It's a hopeless case I guess Who's looking out for the wilder side It will soon all be gone You can tell it won't be long We'll find the wilderness has died The stream will all dry out The fish, gone no doubt We'll have no animals to fear The tree will be no more We'll use it to build the store Mountain scene will disappear These changes takin' place Will affect the human race We'll all know it when it's gone God save this planet now We've got to help somehow We've left it happen way too long Death in the wilderness It's a hopeless case I guess Who's looking out for the wilder side It will soon all be gone You can tell it won't be long We'll find the wilderness has died We'll find the wilderness has died |

It's hard to tell With a casual look Can you read his mind Like an open book When you cross the room Can you feel his eyes Is he the one Gonna make your night It's hard to tell Where your next love lies It's hard to tell If the feeling's there Do you seize the moment Or should you beware Is he the one Does it feel just right When you're face to face Should you act surprised It's hard to tell Where your next love lies Will he want your number Will he want your name Are you going to panic Or play the game Will he call tomorrow Will he call tonight It's hard to tell Where your next love lies It's hard to tell If he's for real Mysterious ways He makes you feel Is he the one Does it feel just right It's hard to tell Where your next love lies |

When you light that funny cigarette Would you pass it back to me I'm feeling a little down and out And it'll keep me company I'm just a long lost sinner Living life here on the line I'll give it right back to you I know it's not really mine Now don't put it out, not right yet It's burning pretty good Maybe I'll have one more toke D'you think I should? OO-oo, days go by I just sit around and get real high OO-oo, what a glow I just hang out, they come and go Hey, the walls are starting to move The floor is way down there What a buzz it is There's electricity in the air Boy, I'm feeling really gone I'm feeling really cool I think I'll have another one I'm just another fool You know they say it's illegal But what isn't these days No matter what you do There'll be somebody on your case OO-oo, days go by It just seems like I sit around and get high OO-oo, shame on me They're going to put me in a penitentiary I must not be together Look at the shape I'm in I just know people are saying "He's looking awful thin!" I guess I can count my blessings Though I've always been this way I guess I'll quit tomorrow Maybe another day OO-oo, days go by I guess I'll sit around and get real high You know time has no absolute It's a just seems like it's spent Everything has a tendency to be so warped and bent While looking here and there I'm surprised to see Everybody's gone here Everybody's gone but me OO-oo, days go by I just sit around and get real high OO-oo, what a glow I just hang out, they come and go |

I had an old dog, and his name was Blue
Bet your life he was a good dog too Blue chased a possum up a hollow limb Possum won, got the best of him Bye-bye Blue You good dog, you Bye-bye Blue You good dog, you Blue he died, and he died so hard He shook the ground in my backyard We lowered him down with a golden chain Every link we'd call his name Bye-bye Blue You good dog, you Bye-bye Blue You good dog, you My old Blue was a good old hound You could hear him holler for miles around When I get to heaven, first thing I'll do I'll grab my horn and call Old Blue Bye-bye Blue You good dog, you Bye-bye Blue You good dog, you Bye-bye Blue You good dog, you Bye-bye Blue You good dog, you Bye-bye Blue |

Miss ol' St. Louie, wish I was back Picking my guitar by the railroad track All them pretty womens, hangin' 'round me Miss ol' St. Louie, how it used to be Mississippi River, water so deep Running down to Memphis on to New Orleans Trying to hustle quarters, nickels, and dimes Ol' St. Louie's where I spent my time Standing on the corner with my old wooden box Watching them steam boats gather at the dock Cotton and tobacco and people for sale Trying to stay clear of the St. Louie jail Strumming to the rythm of an old freight train Ol' St. Louie's where I played my game Ain't no doubt about it, wish I was back Picking my guitar by the railroad track All them pretty womens, hangin' 'round me Miss ol' St. Louie, how it used to be |

Words that we say could all be lies someday
Scattered to the wind, I don't know Things that we trust could crumble into dust No one can really say it ain't so When you go over a mountain When you're looking down the road When you think you're going backwards It's all in vain, it seems insane When you ask, nobody knows If our actions seem in doubt By the way we move about Seems like we're always on the run Our mark is just a scratch Like holding up a match And trying to see the burn against the sun When we're going over a mountain When we're looking down the road If you think you're going backwards It's all in vain, it seems insane When you ask, nobody knows When all our days are gone You can catch us with a song Something that seemed almost right We've known love and joy Eternity's been our toy Something to play with in the night When we're going over a mountain When we're looking down the road If you think you're going backwards It's all in vain, it seems insane When you ask, nobody knows When I go over my mountain When I'm looking down the road If I think I'm going backwards It's all in vain, it seems insane When I ask, nobody knows |
