Living on free food tickets.
Water in the milk from the hole in the roof Where the rain came through, What can we do? Mmm. Tears from your baby sister, Cryin' 'cause she doesn't have a dress Without a patch for the party to go, Ah but you know she'll get by, Because she's living in the love of the common people, Smiles from the heart of a family man, Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to, Mummy's gonna love you just as much as she can, And she can. It's a good thing you don't have busfare, it would fall through the hole in your pocket And you'd lose it in the snow on the ground, Walking to the town to find a job. Trying to keep your hands warm, But the hole in your shoe lets the snow come through And it chills to the bone, Boy you better go home where it's warm. And you can live in the love of the common people, Smiles from the heart of a family man, Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to, Mummy's gonna love you just as much as she can, And she can. Living on dreams ain't easy, but the closer the knit the tighter the fit And the chills stay away, You take them in stride, family pride. You know, faith is your foundation With a whole lot of love And a warm conversation and many a prayer, making you strong where you belong. Living in the love of the common people, Smiles from the heart of a family man, Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to, Mummy's gonna love you just as much as she can, Yeah Living in the love of the common people, Smiles from the heart of a family man, Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to, Mummy's gonna love you just as much as she can, Yeah ... (repeat chorus and fade) (or end with the following) And she can. |

Do you remember days not so very long ago
When the world was run by people twice your size And the days were full of laughter and the nights were full of stars And when you grew tired you could close your eyes Yes the stars were were there for wishing and the wind was there for kites And the morning sun was there for rise and shine And even in the sniffles kept you home from school in bed You couldn't hardly stay there after nine And I wonder if the smell of morning's faded What happened to the robin's song that sparkled in the sky Where's all the water gone that tumbled down the stream Will I ever catch another butterfly Do you remember campouts right in your own backyard And wondering how airplanes could fly And the hours spent just playing with a funny rock you found With crystal specks as blue as all the sky Yes, the days were each a treasure as they blended into years The memories that come so sharp and plain And while we were enjoying these moments, did we mourn That today would never come this way again And I wonder if the smell of morning's faded What happened to the robin's song that sparkled in the sky Where's all the water gone that tumbled down the stream Will I ever catch another butterfly Now I watch my son, he's playing with his toys He's happy and I give him all I can But I can't help feeling just a little tingling inside When to hear him say, he wants to be a man And I wonder if the smell of morning's faded What happened to the robin's song that sparkled in the sky Where's all the water gone that tumbled down the stream Will I ever catch another butterfly Will I ever catch another butterfly |

Yes I've been dreaming about you every day
Each and every day Had I been thinking about you all night long I even wrote a song Just to try to tell you how I really feel To make you understand my love is real That you're on my mind all the time I wish to God you were mine once again I remember talkin' to you I remember walkin' with you I remember laughin' all the time And you were mine Now the days seem so long I can't face a night alone I beg you please won't you please come home I remember talkin' to you I remember walkin' with you I remember laughin' all the time I remember singin' to you I remember dreamin' with you I remember lovin' you alone And now the days seem so long I can't face a night all alone I beg you please won't you please come home Words and music by John Denver |

If I look like home to you, if I am your sign Don't try to understand it, girl, when I draw the line It hasn't come to this that you can say I waste my time Looking everywhere, going nowhere For the skies they look so lazy now, heavy are the clouds There's nothing here that I could learn or what it's all about You haven't said a thing to me and you talk so very loud Looking everywhere, going nowhere Well I think I'll try the circus or go back to Mexico It's time to make mistakes again, it's time to change the show It's time and time and time again to find another way It's time to gather forces and get out of yesterday Because I lost what I was looking for, there's nothing left to share I need to take myself away to be some other where A face, a life, a minute more, I don't think I can spare Looking everywhere, going nowhere Cause I tell you when you hurt me and you just don't seem to know I inform you that I'm lonely and you still don't think I'll go So if I lie to you and smile a thought, it's only half way here It's just the circus, and I'm singing I'm never really near If I look like home to you, If I am your sign Don't try to understand it, girl, when I draw the line It hasn't come to this that you can say I waste my time Looking everywhere Looking everywhere Looking anywhere, going nowhere Words and music by Michael Johnson, Laurie Kuehn and Michael Johnson |

When I get older, losin' my hair Many years from now Will you still be sending me a Valentine Birthday greeting, bottle of wine If I got home at a quarter to three Would you lock the door Will you still lead me Will you still feed me When I'm sixty-four You'll be older too And if you say the word I could stay with you I could be happy fixing a fuse Whe the lights are gone You could knit a sweater by the fireside Sunday morning go for a ride Doin' the garden, diggin' the weeds Who could ask for more Will you still lead me Will you still feed me When I'm sixty-four Every summer we can rent a cottage in the Isle of White If it's not too dear We shall scrimp and save Grandchildren on your knee Vera, Chuck and Dave Send me a postcard, drop me a line Stating point of view Indicate precisely what you mean to say You're sincerely wasting away Give me your answer, fill in a form Mine forever more Will you still lead me Will you still feed me When I'm sixty-four Oh yeah Words and music by John Lennon and Paul McCartney |

It's late December the New Years never coming
Time passes slowly in a two room walk up flat The sun is silent there's a cold rain gonna come on No one to talk to But my ladys yellow cat Rain drops falling on the flowers In the window box Plastic roses that I planted yesterday I didn't think they'd die so soon But they're all withered now Seems like everything I touch Turns out that way Well I guess I just go walking The cats no good for talkin' to He don't know what I'm saying And the rain is always Playing on my mind On my mind Street lights drifting through the blinds that cover window panes Blending softly with the bare lights over head Then together they run swiftly through my memory And eerie image of a strange and empty bed Wind is whipping up the papers in the streets below Got some books to read But it seems they've all been read Clouds are crowded in a misty Drifting sky above And I wish to hell I could remember what I said. A crystal wine glass on a table filled with scarlet stains Stands alone and empty where there once was two The jug is silent on the table with my broken dreams The wine is gone my lady and so my love are you |

All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'm standing here outside your door I hate to wake you up to say goodbye But the dawn is breaking, it's early morn The taxi's waiting, he's blowin' his horn Already I'm so lonesome I could die So kiss me and smile for me Tell me that you'll wait for me Hold me like you'll never let me go 'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane Don't know when I'll be back again Oh babe, I hate to go There's so many times I let you down So many times I've played around I tell you now, they don't mean a thing Every place I go, I'll think of you Every song I sing, I'll sing for you When I come back, I'll bring your wedding ring So kiss me and smile for me Tell me that you'll wait for me Hold me like you'll never let me go 'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane Don't know when I'll be back again Oh babe, I hate to go Now the time has come to leave you One more time, let me kiss you Close your eyes, I'll be on my way Dream about the days to come When I won't have to leave alone About the times I won't have to say Oh, kiss me and smile for me Tell me that you'll wait for me Hold me like you'll never let me go 'Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane Don't know when I'll be back again Oh babe, I hate to go But I'm leaving on a jet plane Don't know when I'll be back again Oh babe, I hate to go |

(These words are incorrect at this time) My old man had a round of soul He'd hear an old freight train Then he'd have to go Said he'd been blessed with a gypsy bone That's the reason they guessed He'd been cursed to roam Came into town back before the war Didn't even know what it Was he was looking for He carried a tattered bag for his violin It was full of lots of songs Of places he had been He talked real easy Had a smiling way to pass abn^. to you When his fiddle played Making people drop their cares and woes To hum out loud those tunes That his fiddle howed Till the people there began to join that sound And everyone in town was Laughing, singing, dancing round Like the fiddlers tune was All the years that passed That love would keep them warm All their lives they'd share A dream come true All because she danced while his fiddle tuned My old man had a round of soul He'd hear an old freight train Then he'd have to go All that I recall said when I was young No one else could really Sing those songs he sung Words and Music by Walker |

Rusty green summer's almost gone, I see winds clouding up the sun
And I can't find my way, everything's grey Rusty green eyes on my mind, memories someplace out of time All the things we would do ,I still love you It's a sad song to sing, painted rusty green A brief fading picture of spring |

Lady, are you crying, do the tears belong to me
Did you think our time together was all gone Lady, you've been dreaming, I'm as close as I can be And I swear to you our time has just begun Close your eyes and rest your weary mind I promise I will stay right here beside you Today our lives were joined, became entwined I wish that you could know how much I love you Lady, are you happy, do you feel the way I do Are there meanings that you've never seen before Lady, my sweet lady, I just can't believe it's true And it's like I've never, ever loved before (Chorus) Lady, are you crying, do the tears belong to me Did you think our time together was all gone Lady, my sweet lady, I'm as close as I can be And I swear to you our time has just begun |

I Guess He?d Rather Be In Colorado
I guess he'd rather be in Colorado He'd rather spend his time out where the sky looks like a pearl after a rain Once again I see him walkin Once again I hear him talking to the stars he makes and asking them for bus fare I guess he'd rather be in Colorado He'd rather play his banjo in the morning when the moon is scarcely gone In the dawn the subways comin in the dawn I hear him hummin' Some old song he wrote of love in Boulder Canyon I guess he'd rather be in Colorado I guess he'd rather be in Colorado I guess he'd rather work out where the only thing you earn is what you spend In the end up in his office In the end a quiet cough is all he has to show He lives in New York City |

Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry Sunshine on the water looks so lovely Sunshine almost always makes me high If I had a day that I could give you I'd give to you the day just like today If I had a song that I could sing for you I'd sing a song to make you feel this way Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry Sunshine on the water looks so lovely Sunshine almost always makes me high If I had a tale that I could tell you I'd tell a tale sure to make you smile If I had a wish that I could wish for you I'd make a wish for sunshine for all the while Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry Sunshine on the water looks so lovely Sunshine almost all the time makes me high Sunshine almost always... |

Just yesterday morning they let me know you were gone Susanne the plans they made put an end to you I woke up this morning and wrote down this song I just can't remember who to send it to I've seen fire and I've seen rain Seen sunny days that I thought would never end Seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought I'd see you again Won't you look down upon me Jesus you got to help me make a stand You just got to see me through another day My body's aching, my time is at hand I just can't make it any other way I've seen fire and I've seen rain Seen sunny days that I thought would never end Seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought I'd see you again I've been walking my mind to an easy time my back turned t'wards the sun Lord knows when the cold wind blows it will turn your head around There's hours of time on the telephone line they'll talk about things to come Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain Seen sunny days that I thought would never end Seen lonely times when I could not find a friend But I always thought I'd see you one more time again Words and music by James Taylor |

He was born in the summer of his 27th year
Coming home to a place he'd never been before He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again You might say he found a key for every door When he first came to the mountains, his life was far away On the road and hanging by a song But the string's already broken and he doesn't really care It keeps changin' fast and it don't last for long It's the Colorado Rocky Mountain high I've seen it raining fire in the sky The shadows from the starlight are softer than a lullaby Rocky Mountain high (Colorado) Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado) He climbed cathedral mountains, he saw silver clouds below He saw everything as far as you can see And they say that he got crazy once and he tried to touch the sun And he lost a friend but kept the memory Now he walks in quiet solitude, the forests and the streams Seeking grace in every step he takes His sight is turned inside himself to try and understand The serenity of a clear blue mountain lake And the Colorado Rocky Mountain high I've seen it raining fire in the sky Talk to God and listen to the casual reply Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado) Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado) Now his life is full of wonder but his heart still knows some fear Of the simple things he cannot comprehend Why they try to tear the mountains down to bring in a couple more More people, more scars upon the land In the Colorado Rocky Mountain high I've seen it raining fire in the sky I know he'd be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly Rocky Mountain high The Colorado Rocky Mountain high I've seen it raining fire in the sky Friends around the campfire and everybody's high Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado) Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado) Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado) Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado) Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado) Rocky Mountain high (high in Colorado) |

When I was a child, my family would travel Down to western Kentucky where my parents were born And there's a backwards old town that's often remembered So many times that my mem'ries are worn And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County Down by the Green River where Paradise lay Well, I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in asking Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away Well sometimes we'd travel right down the Green River To the abandoned old prison down by Adrie Hill Where the air smelled like snakes and we'd shoot with our pistols But empty pop bottles was all we would kill And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County Down by the Green River where Paradise lay Well, I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in asking Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away And the coal company came with the world's largest shovel And they tortured the timber and stripped all the land Well, they dug for their coal till the land was forsaken Then they wrote it all down as the progress of man And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County Down by the Green River where Paradise lay Well, I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in asking Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away And daddy won't you take me back to Muhlenberg County Down by the Green River where Paradise lay Well, I'm sorry, my son, but you're too late in asking Mister Peabody's coal train has hauled it away Words and music by John Prine |

Where the Walker runs down to the Carson Valley plain
There lived a young maiden, Darcy Farrow was her name The daughter of old Dundee, and a fair one was she The sweetest flower that bloomed o'er the range Her voice was as sweet as sugar can be Her touch was as soft as a bed of goose down Her eyes shone bright like the pretty lights That shine in the night out at Yerington town She was courted by young Vandermeer A fine lad was he, as I am to hear He gave her silver rings and lacy things He promised to wed before the snows came that year Her pony did stumble and she did fall Her dying touched the hearts of us one and all Young Vandy in his pain put a bullet through his brain We buried them together as the snows began to fall They sing of Darcy Farrow where the Truckee runs through They sing of her beauty in Virginia City too At dusky sundown to her name they drink a round And to young Vandy, whose love was true |

Josie works the counter at the downtown five and dime
Anything at all to help her pass the time Her mama keeps the baby and grandpa rambles on About the good times playing in his mind It's a hard life livin' when you're lonely It's a long night sleepin' alone It's a hard time waitin' for tomorrow It's a long, long way home Josie spends the evening with the people "on" the pages Of the paperback she picked up "at" the store Or sometimes it's the TV or she'll try to write a letter But they don't come too often anymore It's a hard life livin' when you're lonely It's a long night sleepin' alone It's a hard time waitin' for tomorrow It's a long, long way home I stare at the gray walls before me And I see her face in the stone I try to imagine our baby I wish they would let me go home I wish they would let me go home I wish they would let me go home It's a hard life livin' when you're lonely I wish they would let me go home It's a long night sleepin' alone I wish they would let me go home It's a hard time waitin' for tomorrow I wish they would let me go home It's a long, long way home I wish they would let me go home It's a long, long way home I wish they would let me go home Bring me and the other boys home I wish they would let me go home Bring me and the other boys home Words and music by John Denver |

It's five o'clock this morning and the sun is on the rise
there's frosting on the window pane, and sorrow in your eyes the stars are fading quietly, the night is nearly gone and so you turn away from me, and tears begin to come CHORUS And it's goodbye again, I'm sorry to be leavin' you Goodbye again, as if you didn't know, it's goodbye again And I wish you could tell me, why do we always fight when I have to go It seems a shame to leave you now, the days are soft and warm I long to lay me down again, and hold you in my arms I long to kiss the tears away, give you back the smile Other voices beckon me, to go a little while CHORUS I have to go and see some friends of mine, some that I don't know, some who aren't familiar with my name It's something that's inside of me, not hard to understand It's anyone who listens to me sing And if you hours are empty now, who am I to blame You think if I were always here, our love would be the same As it is the time we have, is worth the time alone And lying by your side, the greatest peace I've ever known But it's goodbye again, and I'm sorry to be leavin' you, goodbye again as if you didn't know, it's goodbye again And I wish you could tell me, why do we always fight when I have to go |
