Hot town, summer in the city
Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty Been down, isn't it a pity Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city All around, people looking half dead Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head But at night it's a different world Go out and find a girl Come-on come-on and dance all night Despite the heat it'll be alright And babe, don't you know it's a pity That the days can't be like the nights In the summer, in the city In the summer, in the city Cool town, evening in the city Dressing so fine and looking so pretty Cool cat, looking for a kitty Gonna look in every corner of the city Till I'm wheezing like a bus stop Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop But at night it's a different world Go out and find a girl Come-on come-on and dance all night Despite the heat it'll be alright And babe, don't you know it's a pity That the days can't be like the nights In the summer, in the city In the summer, in the city Hot town, summer in the city Back of my neck getting dirty and gritty Been down, isn't it a pity Doesn't seem to be a shadow in the city All around, people looking half dead Walking on the sidewalk, hotter than a match head But at night it's a different world Go out and find a girl Come-on come-on and dance all night Despite the heat it'll be alright And babe, don't you know it's a pity That the days can't be like the nights In the summer, in the city In the summer, in the city |

What a day for a day dream,
What a day for a day dreamin' boy. And I'm lost in a day dream, Dreamin' 'bout my bundle of joy. And even if time ain't really on my side, It's one of those days for taking a walk outside. I'm blowing the day to take a walk in the sun, And fall on my face in somebody's new mowed lawn. I've been havin' a sweet dream, I've been dreamin' since I woke up today, It's starring me in my sweet dream, 'Cause she's the one that makes me feel this way, And even if time is passin' me by a lot, I couldn't care less about the dues you say I got. Tomorrow I'll pay the dues for dropping my load. A pie in the face for being a sleepy bull toad. And you can be sure that if you're feelin right A day dream will last a long time into the night. Tomorrow at breakfast you may prick up your ears, Or you may be dreamin' for a thousand years. |

[Chorus]
Nashville cats, play clean as country water Nashville cats, play wild as mountain dew Nashville cats, been playin' since they's babies Nashville cats, get work before they're two Well, there's thirteen hundred and fifty two Guitar pickers in Nashville And they can pick more notes than the number of ants On a Tennessee ant hill Yeah, there's thirteen hundred and fifty two Guitar cases in Nashville And any one that unpacks 'is guitar could play Twice as better than I will Yeah, I was just thirteen, you might say I was a Musical proverbial knee-high When I heard a couple new-sounding tunes on the tubes And they blasted me sky-high And the record man said every one is a yellow sun Record from Nashville And up north there ain't nobody buys them And I said, "But I Will" And it was [Chorus] Well, there's sixteen thousand eight hundred 'n' twenty one Mothers from Nashville All their friends play music, and they ain't uptight If one of the kids will Because it's custom made for any mothers son To be a guitar picker in Nashville And I sure am glad I got a chance to say a word about The music and the mothers from Nashville [Chorus] Kick it |

Come
And talk of all the things we did today Here And laugh about our funny little ways While we have a few minutes to breathe Then I know that it's time you must leave But, darling, be home soon I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled My darling, be home soon It's not just these few hours, but I've been waiting since I toddled For the great relief of having you to talk to And now A quarter of my life is almost past I think I've come to see myself at last And I see that the time spent confused Was the time that I spent without you And I feel myself in bloom So, darling, be home soon I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled My darling, be home soon It's not just these few hours, but I've been waiting since I toddled For the great relief of having you to talk to Darling, be home soon I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled My darling, be home soon It's not just these few hours, but I've been waiting since I toddled For the great relief of having you to talk to Go And beat your crazy head against the sky Try And see beyond the houses and your eyes It's okay to shoot the moon So, darling My darling, be home soon I couldn't bear to wait an extra minute if you dawdled My darling, be home soon It's not just these few hours, but I've been waiting since I toddled For the great relief of having you to talk to |

Do you believe in magic in a young girl's heart
How the music can free her, whenever it starts And it's magic, if the music is groovy It makes you feel happy like an old-time movie I'll tell you about the magic, and it'll free your soul But it's like trying to tell a stranger 'bout rock and roll If you believe in magic don't bother to choose If it's jug band music or rhythm and blues Just go and listen it'll start with a smile It won't wipe off your face no matter how hard you try Your feet start tapping and you can't seem to find How you got there, so just blow your mind If you believe in magic, come along with me We'll dance until morning 'til there's just you and me And maybe, if the music is right I'll meet you tomorrow, sort of late at night And we'll go dancing, baby, then you'll see How the magic's in the music and the music's in me Yeah, do you believe in magic Yeah, believe in the magic of a young girl's soul Believe in the magic of rock and roll Believe in the magic that can set you free Ohh, talking 'bout magic Do you believe like I believe Do you believe in magic Do you believe like I believe Do you believe, believer Do you believe like I believe Do you believe in magic [Fade] |

She's one of those girls,
Who seems to come in the spring. One look in her eyes, And you forget everything, You had ready to say. And I saw her today, yeah. A younger girl Keeps rollin' 'cross my mind. No matter how much I try, I can't seem to leave her memory behind. I remember her eyes, Soft dark and brown. Said she'd never been in trouble, Even in town A younger girl Keeps rollin' 'cross my mind. No matter how much I try, I can't seem to leave her memory behind. A younger girl Keeps rollin' 'cross my mind. And should I hang around, Acting like her brother? In a few more years, They'd call us right for each other. And why, If I wait I'll just die, yeah. A younger girl Keeps rollin' 'cross my mind. No matter how much I try, I can't seem to leave her memory behind. I remember her eyes, Soft dark and brown. Said she'd never been in trouble, Even in town A younger girl Keeps rollin' 'cross my mind. She's one of those girls, Who seems to come in the spring. One look in her eyes, And you forget everything, You had ready to say |

Did you ever have to make up your mind?
Pick up on one and leave the other one behind It's not often easy, and not often kind Did you ever have to make up your mind? Did you ever have to finally decide? Say yes to one and let the other one ride There's so many changes, and tears you must hide Did you ever have to finally decide? Sometimes there's one with deep blue eyes, cute as a bunny With hair down to here, and plenty of money And just when you think she's that one in the world Your heart gets stolen by some mousy little girl And then you know you better make up your mind Pick up on one and leave the other one behind It's not often easy, and not often kind Did you ever have to make up your mind? Sometimes you really dig a girl the moment you kiss her And then you get distracted by her older sister When in walks her father and takes you in line And says "Better go home, son, and make up your mind" Then you bet you'd better finally decide! And say yes to one and let the other one ride There's so many changes, and tears you must hide Did you ever have to finally decide? |

I was down in Savannah
Eatn' Cream and Bannanas When the heat just made me faint I began to get crosseyed I thought I was lost I'd begun to see things as they ain't. As the relatives gathered to see what's the matter The doctor came to see was I fine. But the doctor said give him jug band music, It seems to make him feel just fine. I was told a little tail about a skinny as a rail L.A. put cowboy with a headache He was hung up in the desert swappin' rats And tryn' ta get a drink of water with his knees gettin' mud caked And I'll tell you and exceptance how he stumbled into Memphis Tenassee Lookin' hard and gettin' dust baked. We gave 'im little water; a little bit of wine he opened up his eyes but they didn't seem to shine And the doctor said give him jug band music it seems to make him feel just fine So if you ever get sickly get sister run quickly to the dusty closet shelf and pull out a washboard; and play a guitar chord and do a little do it yourself. call on your neighbors to put down their labors and come and play the hardware in time cause the doctor said give him jug band music it seems to make him feel just fine I was floatin' in the ocean greased withsuntan lotion when i got wiped out by a beach boy he was surfin' when he hit me but jumped off his board to get me and he dragged me by the armpit like a child's toy as we staggerd into land with all the waitors eatn' sandwitches we tried to mooch a towel from the hoi poloi he emptied out his eardrums; i emptied out mine and everybody knows that the very last line is the doctor said give him jug band music it seems to make him feel just fine and the doctor said give him jug band music it seems to make him feel just fine. |

You and me and rain on the roof
Caught up in a summer shower Dryin' while it soaks the flowers Maybe we'll be caught for hours Waitin' out the sun You and me were gabbin' away Dreamy conversation sittin' in the hay Honey, how long was I laughing in the rain with you 'Cause I didn't feel a drop 'til the thunder brought us to You and me underneath the roof of tin Pretty comfy feelin' how the rain ain't leakin' in We can sit and dry just as long as it can pour 'Cause the way it makes you look makes me hope it rains some more You and me and rain on the roof Caught up in a summer shower Dryin' while it soaks the flowers Maybe we'll be caught for hours Waitin' out the sun |

If you are wond'rin' what I'm gonna do
While you are sleepin', am I sleepin' too? Well, I'm just sittin' here lovin' you Close my eyes and lovin' you I'm just sittin' back, sittin' here lovin' you I have been wond'rin' just what I would do If I'd weren't sleepin', had I not found you I'd be outside findin' you Walkin' on the avenues findin' you But I'm just sittin' back, sittin' here lovin' you Now the reasons never see me runnin' 'round Fingers on my forehead to calm me down She can even get me up and on my feet And when I die to take care of some business on the street I have been walkin' all my streets along I would keep walkin' to keep from goin' home I couldn't quite till I could see you Now I can't see me ever leavin' you 'Cause I'm just sittin' back lovin' you Lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you If you are wond'rin' what I'm gonna do While you are sleepin', am I sleepin' too? Well, I'm just sittin' here lovin' you Close my eyes and lovin' you 'Cause I'm just sittin' here lovin' you, lovin' you, lovin' you |

It's really true how nothin matters.
No mad, mad world and no mad hatters. No one's pitchin cause their ain't no batters In coconut grove. Don't bother door. Theirs no one comin. The oceans roar, were double drummin. Of many silly thoughts and silly ways The ocean breeze has cooled my mind. The salty days are her's and mine Just to do what we wanna Tonight we'll find a dune that's our And softly she will speak the stars Until sun-up It's all from havin' someone knowin' |

Boredom
Hangin' by myself in a bleak motel Overnight in a small town. Boredom My mind's countin' time, trucks go rollin' by Past the pumps and highway sign. Never was a place that felt less like home. Never woulda come here if I'd only known That it's a one-channel town and I'm all alone. I can't just sit 'n' watch my telephone 'Cause no one knows my number and it can't be found And there's no good people just kickin' around So here we are together Machines and me. I feel about as local as a fish in a tree and this Boredom. My mind's countin' time, trucks go rollin' by Past the pumps and highway sign. And in this town all the other sounds have ceased. And the Late Late Show died long ago With a few words from a priest. Boredom Hangin' by myself in a bleak motel Overnight in a small town. |

Why must every generation think their folks are square
And no matter where their heads are they know mom쨈s ain쨈t there Cause I swore when I was small that I쨈d remember when I knew what쨈s wrong with them that I was smaller then Determined to remember all the cardinal rules Like sun showers are legal grounds for cutting school I know I have forgotten maybe one or two And I hope that I recall them all before the baby쨈s due And I knoe he쨈ll have a question or two Like "hey Pop, can I go ride my zoom It goes two hundred miles an hour suspended on balloons And can I put a droplet of this new stuff on my tongue And imagine frothing dragons while you sit and wreck your lungs" And I must be permissive, understanding of the younger generation Then I쨈ll know that all I쨈ve learned my kid assumes And all my deepest worries must be his cartoons And still I쨈ll try to them him all the things I쨈ve done Related to what he can do when he becomes a man And still he쨈ll stick his fingers in the fan And "Hey, Pop, my girlfriend쨈s only three She쨈s got her own videophone and she쨈s taking L.S.D. And now that we쨈re best friends she wants to give a bit to me But what쨈s the matter Daddy, how come you쨈re turning green? Can it be that you can쨈t live up to your dreams?" |

I woke up this mornin', looked around my four walls
And a dream told me you ain't happy at all I packed up my bags, I took my last look and then Look out, pretty mom, I'm on the road again I'm on the road again (Just as sure as you're born) I'm on the road again (Just as sure as you're born) Look out, pretty mom, I'm on the road again I ran home last night to get my dinner hot I pulled on my door and found the door was locked I jumped through the window and believe it or not She had not even put my dinner in the pot I've never been evil and I've never been sly But if I sit some place and let the time roll by I start to get restless, pack my bags up and then Look out pretty mom, I'm on the road again |
