Last night I sat my baby right down And said the talk's all round the town You're cheatin' while I work all day I guess that feelin's finally gone And I got so tired of spendin' my nights alone So I packed my bags and I'm goin' away But I sure would hate to lose your lovin' don't you know If you said good-bye it just wouldn't feel right some how 'Cause it felt so good Whole lot better than I thought it could Honey I hate to lose you now Well I swore I wouldn't sit and cry 'Cause my baby left me both high and dry Wouldn't sit and pine gonna move on down the line Well I knew just what I had to do Had to find me some love that's new 'Cause lovin's so easy to find But I sure would hate to lose that lovin' don't you know If you said good-bye it just wouldn't feel right some how 'Cause it felt so good Whole lot better than I thought it could Honey I hate to lose you now But I think it's gonna be all right 'Cause I found a little girl last night And she said you better just move on in 'Cause I got my rent paid through next week and I'll be out tonight But don't ya know I'll do my best to be back by ten I sure would hate to lose that lovin' don't you know If you said good-bye it just wouldn't feel right some how 'Cause it felt so good Whole lot better than I thought it could Honey I hate to lose you now Don't you know Honey I hate to lose you now Tryin to tell you Honey I hate to lose you now |

I see you lookin' 'round searchin' for some good times girl Ain't no doubt about it, nothin' sweeter in this world forget the ringin' on your party line I'll be there in person and I'll be right on time Give me just one clear moment I can turn your head around All I need is one clear moment To get you back up off the ground I see you cryin' and I don't know why The way you look you should be flyin' high In that one clear moment Overheard you talkin' 'bout your lover walkin' out the door It's just the same sad story, you know we've heard it all before We've all been kicked we've all been pushed around I'll claim your heart back from the lost and found Give me just one clear moment I can turn your head around All I need is one clear moment To get your feet back up off the ground I hear you callin' for some sympathy I got the answer that can set you free In that one clear moment You're wonderin' how I'll make your grey skies blue I see the doubt in your eyes, but what I say is true Ah gimme that one clear moment I can turn your head around All I need is one clear moment To get you back up off the ground I hear you callin' for some sympathy I got the answer that will set you free In that one clear moment |

Serious blue eyes, so pale and so shy Look closer 'cause she's got that look in her eye Red hair that sails on a soft southern breeze Fingers that fly on accordion keys You ain't seen nothin', 'till you've seen my cajun girl She's really somethin', my sweet singing cajun girl Cook cajun, speak creole, and lay on the spice Her fancy so free on these Saturday nights She sings and she plays at the parish hall dance Big city chanteuses just don't stand a chance You ain't seen nothin', 'till you've seen my cajun girl She's really somethin', my sweet singing cajun girl Might find me a dream, just West of New Orleans If you pole up the bayou St. John The way twin fiddles play And she squeezes her box until dawn All night they carry on Tell long leg Lucille I must send my regrets It's nothin' she's done, it's just someone I met With innocent heart, true talent so rare She bloom on the bayou, this flower so fair You ain't seen nothin', 'till you've seen my cajun girl She's really somethin', my sweet singing cajun girl You ain't seen nothin', 'till you've seen my cajun girl Might find me a dream, just West of New Orleans If you pole up the bayou St. John The way twin fiddles play And she squeezes her box until dawn All night they carry on |

Hey old friend, it's been such a long time Since I saw your smilin' face pressed against my window pane Though it's the middle of the night And we were racin' the light of the mornin' All those new thoughts dawnin' About the wrong and the right We spent our money so fine The girls were standing in line Every other night Was always the same Paradise without any shame We'd stay up all night Tryin' to find just the right rhymes And we were fightin' the good fight Hangin' on to the good times Jaunita she's a little bit older now Spotcheck Billy looks just the same Three card monte on the boulevard With mirrors on his shoes And I just have to laugh When I recall the time down in New Orleans Don't ya know Rained us out of an indoor show We spent our money so fine The girls were standin' in line Down in the quarters at lucky Pierre's A time of our life without any cares We'd stay up all night Tryin' to find just the right rhymes And we were fightin' the good fight Hangin' on to the good times Yes old friend we had some times And later on the moon declined To shine its light so benevolently It's grace withheld from our company and though we went our own ways We couldn't escape from where we came So we find ourselves back at the table again Tellin' stories of survivors and friends We'd stay up all night Tryin' to find just the right rhymes And we were fightin' the good fight Hangin' on to the good times Up all night Tryin' to find just the right rhymes And we were fightin' the good fight Hangin' on to the good times Up all night Tryin' to find just the right rhymes And we were fightin' the good fight Hangin' on to the good times |

Lookin' out on the evening light You see the lightnin' and the thunder rollin' in As you strain to keep that setting sun in sight Ya start to get that Summer feelin' back again of a time lost in illusion not afraid to cross that line You don't have to close your eyes You don't have to turn away You can't expect to take the right road every morning When you start to feel the words get in the way Listen to your heart And what it has to say You say you're searchin' for some common ground The golden thread that keeps us all together And you wish these troubled times would turn around Bring back just a little warmer weather to your life To shine through the sorrow And not fade out with the morning light But you don't have to close your eyes You don't have to turn away You can't expect to take the right road every morning When you start to feel the words get in the way Listen to your heart And what it has to say You say you're lookin' to leave the danger zone Lookin to leave off all this pain and sorrow And you hate so much to live your life alone But with half a chance you'd say good-bye tomorrow To be free From all this confusion And hav it like it used to be Soft as a Summer day Warm as a gentle breeze Rollin' out across the sea But you don't have to close your eyes You don't have to turn away You can't expect to take the right road every morning When you start to feel the words get in the way Listen to your heart And what it has to say |

Rollin' down highway 95 Sailin' through her hometown countryside Move on over stand astride My cruise control's in overdrive Need to take my baby for a ride Ooo she's like a smooth stretch of highway Ooo she's like a cool Summer breeze If my motor's runnin' right, we might lose control tonight Got the shape I love to squeeze, looks that bring me to my knees Oh please, let it roll tonight Might be doin' more thahn fifty-five When I sit my baby right down by my side Where the rubber hit the road This rig don't dig no overload Come on, and let my baby ride Ooo she's like a smooth stretch of highway Ooo she's like a cool Summer breeze If my motor's runnin' right, we might lose control tonight Got the shape I love to squeeze, looks that bring me to my knees Oh please, let it roll tonight Now I know just how heaven feels When she reach beneath my big old steerin' wheel Dyna flow, power glide Bored and stroked, I'm satisfied When I take my baby for a ride Ooo she's like a smooth stretch of highway Ooo she's like a cool Summer breeze If my motor's runnin' right, we might lose control tonight Got the shape I love to squeeze, looks that bring me to my knees Oh please, let it roll tonight |

Baby what's wrong with you Have to tell ya it seemed like we were through And your memory's almost gone Met this girl in New York City That took the night train all the way from Buffalo Just to see the midnight show And every time I start to feelin' stronger You call me up with just the right line Keep me hangin' on a little longer That's where I stumble every time I keep thinkin' it'd be all right Wondrin' when you'd come back home Come to your senses girl and hold me tight Love me like ya used to do It's gonna be a long time till I get over you I don't mind the lonely days so much Can't take those long nights dreamin' bout your tender touch Lyin' awake waitin' for the phone to ring Got to my courage up And find a way that I can cut you loose But it don't seem to be no use Got to tell ya every time I start to feelin' stronger You call me up with just the right line Keep me hangin' on a little longer It get me every time I keep thinkin' it'd be all right Wondrin' when you'd come back home Come to your senses girl and hold me tight Love me like ya used to do It's gonna be a long time till I get over you Seem like every time I start to feelin' stronger You call me up with just the right line Keep me hangin' on a little longer And don't it get me every time I keep thinkin' it'd be all right Wondrin' when you'd come back home Come to your senses girl and hold me tight Love me like ya used to do It's gonna be a long time till I get over you |

Come home last night wishin I could unwind Turned on the news ya know it blew my mind Current affairs got me in a spin People everywhere doin' each other in Fussin' and fightin' from dusk till dawn Lyin', stealin, wheelin', dealin', it just keeps rollin' on Nothin but bad news and it's wearin' kind of thin With every news situation sems to be a no win It's just business as usual It's just business as usual Send in the funds, keep the faith alive Without your checks how can we survive We got cars in the yard, bills to pay Crosses to bear, we got souls to save Each and every day, people sittin' round, a Sunday go to meetin' town T.V. prophets bringing on a judgement day The rectory's wrecked, the preacher's funds are goin' slowin' down Elders eyes see their good life slippin' away It's just business as usual It's just business as usual If it rings of truth throw it out the window If you need any proof, it's any way the wind blows If you're askin' me, I'll tell you that I don't know And so it goes, so it goes And it'all goin' down, on the outskirts of town I saw it on the radio, in the heart of the village It's rape, plunder, and pillage I got it off the press, so it must be so It must be so It's just business as usual It's just business as usual It's just business as usual It's just business as usual |

There's a feelin' in the sky tonight Tough as nails and I feel the cold wind start to bite Folks I meet seem so cold Blown like leaves their faces hard and set in stone I'd just like to know Cold and tired, hope all gone Just how far this road goes on I'd just like to see All or nothin', high or low Just how far this game can go Plant my feet on foreign soil No return I crossed that mil some time ago Cast my eyes on streets that shine Reflect my image and I know I'm livin' on borrowed time I'd sure like to feel Dreams I chased so long ago Weren't wasted miles on empty roads I'd just like to believe All these desperate cries I hear Are falling on a sympathetic ear In world of illusions All you're left with is your changin' luch Kisses and tears and unanswered questions Just a child of chance with your changin' luck Changin' luck A song I've heard since I was young Sounds so sweet on this lonely street, makes me cry Askin' myself why oh why I'm such a fool to listen to this deadly kind of lullaby I'd just like to know Cold and tired, hope all gone Just how far this road goes on I'd just like to see All or nothin', high or low Just how far this game can go In world of illusions All you're left with is your changin' luch Kisses and tears and unanswered questions Just a child of chance with your changin' luck Changin' luck |

Standing by the ocean watch it tear away the shore Glide out upon the desert, the horizon is the door And though your voice is shouting above the wind it can't be heard Drop all sense of reason, it's there you'll find your worth And though you are srrounded, feeling quite alone There's a light to guide you home If you stand with your face to the wind off the water At the point of lands end where the ocean begins Look to the memory of the ones gone before The light and meaning of the voices on the wind Searching for safe passage as you knock on every door You still can hear the howling of the mongrel dogs of war You call our for some comfort seeking shelter from the night A raging rain's upon you feeling tired of the fight And though you are surrounded, feeling quite alone There's a light to guide you home If you stand with your face to the wind off the water At the point of lands end where the ocean begins Look to the memory of the ones gone before The light and meaning of the voices on the wind Thier words carry over water, and fall back down to earth What follows is the silence as you contemplate their worth A vision comes before you, but the meaning's still unclear Standing at the threshold as you watch it disappear And though you are surrounded, feeling quite alone There's a light to guide you home If you stand with your face to the wind off the water At the point of lands end where the ocean begins Look to the memory of the ones gone before The light and meaning of the voices on the wind |
