Joseph's many coloured coat
Left him lyin' in the moat
He lived his life
As prince and slave
And in the end forgave
You wanna feel like a man
Then act like a man
You wanna be like a man
Then act like one yeah
You live your life
By bein' fair
You'll find that
Your strength lies there
For pigs and armies
Will fight in vain
Against a natural main
You wanna feel like a man

You wanna be like a man
Then act like a man
The road of life
Is dark and steep
Sometimes it's like a
Nightmare creepin'
If you don't give for what you take
You may never wake

Just about love, like the wing of some high-flying bird,
Of the songs I will sing to you, you can hear every word,
That I ever heard come to you.
Of the people I've been, of the visions I have seen,
Of the things I think about, of situations that I can hear sometimes,
And the places I have been at times, just trying to be,
These things can only happen once in a lifetime,


These things can only matter here if you have time.
Someone will touch you softly and it will be me,
Someone will call your name and then come to me, free.
Free as the wind, free as the rain falling,
Free as the night, free as nature calling ...

Hold on girl, now don't be blue,
dry those tears for me and you,
Can't you see our love is true, when you remember,
To do just what you say you'll do, can't you see I live for you?
And I need you to trust me too, open your eyes.
So the sun can shine lights in you, will light on your windows,
And change all your baby blues to golden sparks that light your eyes,
When you finally realize that your fears were all just lies,
So open those eyes and let the sun shine lights in you,
Light on your windows and take all your baby blues

Turn around,
go back down,
back the way you came,
Can't you see that flash of fire ten times brighter than the day?
And behold a mighty city broken in the dust again,
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.

Turn around,
go back down,
back the way you came,
Babylon is laid to waste, Egypt's buried in her shame,
The mighty men are all beaten down, their kings are fallen in the ways,
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.

Turn around,
go back down,
back the way you came,
Terror is on every side, lo our leaders are dismayed.
For those who place their faith in fire, their faith in fire shall be
repaid,
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.

Turn around,
go back down,
back the way you came,
And shout a warning unto the nation that the sword of God is raised.
Yes, Babylon, that mighty city, rich in treasures, wide in fame,
Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.

The meek shall cause your tower to fall, make of you a pyre of flame,
Oh you who dwell on many waters, rich in treasures, wide in fame.
you bow unto your God of gold, your pride of might shall be a shame,
For only God can lead His people back unto the Earth again.

Oh God, Pride of Man, broken in the dust again.
A Holy mountain be restored, and mercy on that people, that people

I used to walk on the city streets
Now I wander far and wide
And I never found my happiness
Until I moved to the country-side
Now follow me for a quiet day
Out riding on the trails
Waitin' Smog, Traffic Bomb
Where all the pigs and tales

I'm in shady grove
Shady Grove my honey
Shady grove my true love
I'm bound for Shady Grove

If you've been watching the city streets
Can't seem to get much greener
Then I know where we're going to
Our heads will feel much cleaner

It's Shady Grove my true love
Shady Grove my honey
Shady Grove my true love
I'm bound for Shady Grove

?
It's easy to know who you are
When you're living with the trees
I'm in Shady Grove
Shady Grove, where it's always clean ?

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we see
No, I won't be afraid
Oh, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me, so

* Darling darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon


Should tumble and fall
Ot the mountain
Should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me, and
(Repeat * 2 times)

Whenever you're in trouble
Won't you stand by me, oh stand by me

You poisoned my sweet water.
You cut down my green trees.
The food you fed my children
Was the cause of their disease.
My world is slowly fallin' down
And the airs not good to breathe.
And those of us who care enough,
We have to do something.......
Oh.......oh What you gonna do about me?
Oh.......oh What you gonna do about me?
Your newspapers,
They just put you on.
They never tell you
The whole story.
They just put your
Young ideas down.
I was wonderin' could this be the end
Of your pride and glory?
Oh...oh What you gonna do about me?
Oh...oh What you gonna do about me?
I work in your factory.
I study in your schools.
I fill your penitentiaries.
And your military too!
And I feel the future trembling,
As the word is passed around.
"If you stand up for what you do believe,
Be prepared to be shot down."
Oh...oh What you gonna do about me?
Oh...oh What you gonna do about me?
And I feel like a stranger
In the land where I was born
And I live like an outlaw.
An' I'm always on the run
An Im always getting busted
And I got to take a stand
I believe the revolution
Must be mighty close at hand
Oh...oh What you gonna do about me?
Oh...oh What you gonna do about me?
I smoke marijuana
But I cant get behind your wars.
And most of what I do believe
Is against most of your laws
I'm a fugitive from injustice
But I'm goin' to be free.
Cause your rules and regulations
They dont do the thing for me
Oh....oh What you gonna do about me?
Oh....oh What you gonna do about me?
And I feel like a stranger
In the land where I was born
And I live just like an outlaw.
An' I'm always on the run.
Oh....oh What you gonna do about me?

I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire,
I got a cobra snake for a necktie,
I got a brand new house by the road side,
Made out of rattlesnake hide.
I got me a chimney made on top,
Made from a human skull,
Now come on, take a little walk with me,
Now who do you love?
Come on Arlene, take me by the hand,
Let me know you understand,


Who do you love? ...
Ride nine times on the midnight train
Through the fire and cold rain,
Who do you love? ...
I've got a tombstone hand in a graveyard mine,
Just twenty-two and I don't mind dying,
Who do you love? ...

I don't ever want to see you crying,
And I don't ever want to see you blue,
oh no, all I ever wanted to do was know you
And maybe hope you could know me too.
Well I don't ever want to make you sorry

Can you hear it in the morning, it sings the golden song,
I saw his moving ever on the run, from and to the sound of one
Turning in, turning out, spirals high, never down,
Wonder, wonder wanders, loving, loving lovers,
Freefall, tumbling walls, one world, one one truth,
If if it's above life is low, life is slow,
Love is life, it's love, love

I'll stay a while, but I won't stay long.
No I won't, it's been too long since I've been next to my lover,
I'll stay a while, but I won't stay long.
It's been too long since I've been next to my lover, hey hey hey hey,
'Cause I recall in the letter I read,
I sure had fun, but now I'm thinking you're here,
Evening driving wheel will come to rest some time.
It's been too long since I've been next to my lover, oh woah woah woah


Evening driving wheel will come to rest some time.
yeah,
It's been too long since I've been next to my lover, oh woah woah woah
yeah,
It's been too long.

And I'm feeling stranger than I did the day before

But is the sky falling
Or is it all in my mind

Someone said tomorrow was too late
And I know that yesterday will never wait for you
Fly in the wind
Higher than then
Or is it all in my mind

If I could only tell you how I feel
Suddenly it seems to me that everything's quite real
Dying's no sin

Don't Cry My Lady Love by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Don't cry, my sweet love
You know how I can't stand you crying
All right, my lady love
I know you have heart, begin tryin'

Some day in the morning
When the sunshine won't shine in your window
You may remember
That I was the sun in your window

But these things happen all the time
They're always the same
One's always crying
And one's always easing the pain

You say goodbye, my lady love
I don't want the memories to haunt you
Just look in my eyes, babe
You can change my mind if you want to

But some day that someone
That you never cared for, will start again
You may remember
The one boy you won't share your heart with

But these things happen
And they're never right on time
One's always leavin'
And one's always changin' his mind

Another time, another place
You'll know that I'd really love you
Dry your eyes, my funny face
Another place, another world about you

Don't you remember
The way that you once tried to leave me
And maybe some day
You may know you really didn't need me

But these things happen all the time
They're always the same
One's always crin'
And one's always takin' the blame
One's always crin'
And one's always takin' the blame

In the valley where the moons and lovers play live two children who were born on Saturday.
One was dark, one was fair, followed by the hawk, mothered by the mare.
Stranger children you will never see, brothers of the forest and the sea,
One was land, one was air, and they kept the fires burning there.
In a golden vessel and silver vase, kept them burning in the strange enchanted
place,
Kept them burning to the sky, for they knew someday the sun would die

And I don't ever want to see you blue,
Oh no, all I ever wanted to do was know you
And maybe hope you could know me too.
Well I don't ever want to make you sorry
For anything you've ever said or done,
Oh no, all I ever wanted to do was love you,
And maybe hope you could love me too.
And it's all right baby, I'm in love with you,
And it's all right, I would never make you blue or try to play with you,

Well I don't ever want to spoil your party, babe,
Or tell you where to go or what to do,
Oh no, all I ever wanted to do was know you,
There may be hope you could know me too.
And it's all right baby, I'm in love with you,
And it's all right, I would never make you blue or try to play with you,

Well I don't ever want to spoil your party, babe,
Or tell you where to go or what to do,
Oh no, all I ever wanted to do was love you,
There may be hope you could love me too

Been waiting here a ong long time, pain and trouble on my mind,
You came along and made me see, oh you lifted me.
Shot up everything that our money could buy, over and over, tryin' to find out
why.
I was a sinkin' ship on a stormy sea, oh I found love.
I found love in a baby's smile, I found love in an old man's eye,
I found love in a lover's kiss, ooh I found love.
All my friends thought I was cryin', it's strange to see a good man going
down.
I gave all I had to give and you came along, taught me how to live.
I want to thank you each and every day, thank you baby, for showin' me the
way,
I was a sinkin' ship on a stormy sea, oh I found love, love, love, I found
love

Valenti

Out of my mind, that's what she said to me, she was unkind, said I was crazy.
I thought that was cruel, she didn't know me at all,
What can you do when someone tells you you're insane?
She heard the news, knew all about me, I was too strange.
She could do very well without me, and I didn't cry, I tried to say hello.
But it makes you feel crazy when somebody calls you insane.
I tried to tell her things were all right with me, she wouldn't listen for a minute,
But then when she told me it was all in my mind, what else can a poor boy do?
It pays to let her fly over to the table
Where the games were measured out in thin white lines.
The last time I saw her, she was stoned out of her mind,
How many minds had she sent spinning only to find they hadn't gone anywhere at all?
I said that was sad, she didn't understand
It hurts in your heart when somebody says you're insane.
I tried to tell her things were all right with me, she wouldn't listen for a minute,
But then when she told me it was all in my mind, what else can a poor boy do?
It pays to let her fly over to the table
Where the games were measured out in thin white lines.
The last time I saw her she was tryin' to blow her mind,
What can you do when someone tells you you're insane? What can you do?
Stop for a while and listen, stop for a while and listen, and then some easy go your way.

Valenti

Sometimes I'm up, sometimes I'm down, I get caught in the middle morn,
And I'm going around an dround, there's something I'm telling you,
you're good, I'm diggin' you, hey hey, what can a poor boy do these days,
Hey hey, what can a poor boy do these days,
Except play my guitar, keep me from goin' crazy,
I want to play my guitar, it's all that still saves me.
Sometimes you say you love me then you act strange,
You got me believin' I was deranged but there's trouble now I'm telling you.
You're good, I'm diggin you, hey hey, what can a poor boy do these days,
Hey hey, what can a poor boy do these days,
Except to play my guitar, keep me from being _____ me,
I'm gonna play my guitar, that's all that still moves me.
_____ now what you say or do, anything you want me to, I believe this thing's true.
Look how I'm digging you, hey hey, what can a poor boy do these days,
Hey hey, what can a poor boy do these days,
Except to play my guitar, keep me on moving,
I want to play my guitar, that's all that still moves me,
I want to play my guitar, that's all that still thrills me.

Valenti

I am a good old Rebel, that's exactly what I am,
The open land of freedom, I do not give a damn.
We heard a thousand Yankees, well I'm dead on that Southern thing,
We got three hundred thousand, all they ever got next to us.
They gather the Southern people at an old Southern steel shop,
And I wish we'd got three million more, mud we've got.
I can't take off my musket, fire now no more,
But I ain't gonna rebel, yes I got damn___ sure.
You don't want no part in what I've done or am,
And I will not be reconstructed and I do not give a damn.

Valenti

How long can this go on, are you still actin' the same old crazy way?
I think there's something wrong, I think somebody took your heart away,
I believe someone took your love away, I want to bring love back to stay,
But if somehow I don't get to you, you'll still be okay.
How long can this lonely night be, I sing the same old sad love song,
It's the only song I know, it's just like me,
And I believe someone took your love away, I want to bring love back today,
But if somehow I don't get to you, you'll still be okay.
I believe someone took your love away, I want to bring love back to stay,
But if somehow I don't get to you, you'll still be okay.
How many times can I tell you the same old story, I say the same old line,
I love you, baby, that's what I'm worryin' about.
I believe someone took your love away, I want to bring you a heart today,
But if somehow I don't get to you, you're still okay.
I believe someone took your heart away, I want to bring you a heart today,
But if somehow I don't get to you, baby, you'll be okay.
So I'll try, try here, I'm a tryin' to find another way to say I really love you,
I may not ever win, I'm gonna sing this song, tryin' to talk to you,
I belive someone took your love away, I want to bring you a heart today,
But if somehow I don't get to you, you're still okay.

Valenti

Every time I try to tell where you're goin' wrong
You run and hide your head and call me crazy,
All I tried to tell you was that you could get it on
If you just wouldn't be so lazy.
Oh, what can we do, oh I tried to tell you, everything is true.
I'm tryin' to tell you I've tried everything I knew, ooh, to try and tell you
The truth ... I wanna tell you the truth, baby, I wouldn't ever lie to you,
I'm gonna tell you the truth now.
Every time I try to point out the way you're goin' down
You run and drown another jug of whiskey,
And when I said you had to get together, try to love you brother,
Did I let__ into your head on a mystery?
Oh, what can we do, I believe in you, how can I tell you, everything is true.
I tried to tell you, I tried everything I knew, ooh to try to tell you
The truth ... I wanna tell you the truth, baby, tell you the truth,
And no I'd never lie to you, ooh, to try to tell you the truth, baby, truth,
I wouldn't never never never ...
I watch you count the spaces passing by,
Makes me want to cry, get the strangest kind of old lonely,
As the oceans overlfow with people come and people go
And still you're only make-believin',
Baby, what can we do? I believe in you, how can I tell you, everything is true,
And I tried to tell you the truth ... [etc]

Sometimes I dream of a world without war
People laughing in the sun
And a world without love ain't no place to live
Yet, we're still living but the gun
And I'm just another cowboy on the run

Sometimes the rain gets all in my eyes
'Till I can't see the wrongs I've done
I've got trouble on ahead, the sheriff's close behind
Oh God, I'd love to see the sun
And I'm just another cowboy on the run

Standing in a window, I don't know what to do
Standing in a doorway, I'm trying to pass on through
Walking on a freeway, I don't know where to go
Out on my highway, there's nothing here to do

I'd like to sail the sea, ride wild and free
And act as if my time won't ever come
Well, I keep on getting higher, set my soul on fire
But when it's all been said and done
I'm just one more cowboy on the run

Just another cowboy on the run
Oh, how I'd love to see the sun
And we're still living by the gun

words - Robert Hunter
music - David Freiberg

I heard you singing
What were you singing when the people got right?
Were you singing Stand and Deliver?
Or was it Down by the River?
Were you singing a fine old tune like Gone to Glory?
Laying it down with grace and power
Long about the midnight hour

I heard the people all singing
Like they'd never sung before
All over the country
Who could help but stand beside you?

Hello, hello - is there anybody here?
My knuckles are sore from rapping all day
I said: Give me one more chance
I'd do it for you if I had your way
If I had your way

What do I know? What do I see?
Don't know nothing but the name of the game
It's high-card draw with everything wild
You bet your life like anyone's child
What else would you want to do?

I heard the people all singing
Like they never sung before
Singing in key and strumming
Everything they heard from you
Hello, hello, hello, hello ... goodbye

Looking back across the years


Other matters disappear
In the murmur I can hear
Familiar voices loud and clear
Hello, hello, hello, hello ... goodbye

I heard you singing
Like one last song in the middle of the night
Were you singing in tongues of fire
Or was it knots of anger?

Were you singing a fine old tune like
Love Me, Love Me, Love Me Only?
Were you caught btween the curtains
Thinking this was too uncertain?

Remember ... the people were singing
Like they never sung before
All over the country
Did you love the way they loved you?

Ain't no knocker on the last big door
Just push on the panel and walk on in
Hello, hello, is there anybody here
But a two-bit high and a busted mirror?
Hello, hello - is anybody here?
My tongue is so sore from rapping all day

Sunshine in the dead on night
I know that can't be right
Could it be? I don't know
But it never done that thing before
So close to my own back door
It got me wondering what to do
And the only thing was to come and tell you
Because - I heard you singing - I heard you

I don't ever want to see you crying,
And I don't ever want to see you blue,
oh no, all I ever wanted to do was know you
And maybe hope you could know me too.
Well I don't ever want to make you sorry
For anything you've ever said or done,
Oh no, all I ever wanted to do was love you,
And maybe hope you could love me too.
And it's all right baby, I'm in love with you,
And it's all right, I would never make you blue or try to play with you,

Well I don't ever want to spoil your party, babe,
Or tell you where to go or what to do,
Oh no, all I ever wanted to do was know you,
There may be hope you could know me too.
And it's all right baby, I'm in love with you,
And it's all right, I would never make you blue or try to play with you,

Well I don't ever want to spoil your party, babe,
Or tell you where to go or what to do,
Oh no, all I ever wanted to do was love you,
There may be hope you could love me too

Oh, what you do to me, oh, what you do to me, little girl.
Ooo, have another hit of sweet air, come on, ooo, have another hit.
I want to know where you're going,
I want to know, sweet mama, where you're gonna go, yeah.
Ooo, have another hit of fresh air, ooo, have another hit.
Oh, baby, what you gonna do, oh, honey, what you gonna do, sweet thing?
Ooo, have another hit of sweet love, ooo, have another hit.
I love you, yes I do, babe, and I love you, I do, sweet lips.
Ooo, have another hit of sweet California sunshine, ooo, have another hit.
Take me home, take me home, take me home with you,
Take me home, I wanna go home with you, little girl.
Ooo, have another hit of fresh air, ooo, have another hit.

Joseph's many coloured coat
Left him lyin' in the moat
He lived his life
As prince and slave
And in the end forgave
You wanna feel like a man
Then act like a man
You wanna be like a man
Then act like one yeah
You live your life
By bein' fair
You'll find that
Your strength lies there
For pigs and armies
Will fight in vain
Against a natural main
You wanna feel like a man
Then act like a man
You wanna be like a man
Then act like a man
The road of life
Is dark and steep
Sometimes it's like a
Nightmare creepin'
If you don't give for what you take
You may never wake

Just about love, like the wing of some high-flying bird,
Of the songs I will sing to you, you can hear every word,
That I ever heard come to you.
Of the people I've been, of the visions I have seen,
Of the things I think about, of situations that I can hear sometimes,
And the places I have been at times, just trying to be,
These things can only happen once in a lifetime,


These things can only matter here if you have time.
Someone will touch you softly and it will be me,
Someone will call your name and then come to me, free.
Free as the wind, free as the rain falling,
Free as the night, free as nature calling ...

hey hey hey hey, Mona,
I'm gonna tell you what I'm gonna do,
I'm gonna build my house next door to you,
Can I make love to you once in a while?
Maybe we could do a little kissing
and tellin' lies.
When I come out on the front, girl,
You'll listen to my heart goin' bumpity bump.
I need you baby and it ain't no lie,
When I'm through lovin' I'll surely die
Hey, Mona, hey hey hey hey, Mona,

Turn around,
go back down,
back the way you came,
Can't you see that flash of fire
ten times brighter than the day?
And behold a mighty
city broken in the dust again,
Oh God, Pride of Man,
broken in the dust again.
Turn around,
go back down,
back the way you came,
Babylon is laid to waste,
Egypt's buried in her shame,
The mighty men are all beaten down,
their kings are fallen in the ways,
Oh God, Pride of Man,
broken in the dust again.
Turn around,
go back down,
back the way you came,
Terror is on every side,
lo our leaders are dismayed.
For those who place their faith in fire,
their faith in fire shall be
repaid,
Oh God, Pride of Man,
broken in the dust again.
Turn around,
go back down,
back the way you came,
And shout a warning unto the nation
that the sword of God is raised.
Yes, Babylon, that mighty city,
rich in treasures, wide in fame,
Oh God, Pride of Man,
broken in the dust again.

The meek shall cause your tower to fall,
make of you a pyre of flame,
Oh you who dwell on many waters,
rich in treasures, wide in fame.
you bow unto your God of gold,
your pride of might shall be a shame,
For only God can lead
His people back unto the Earth again.
Oh God, Pride of Man,
broken in the dust again.
A Holy mountain be restored,
and mercy on that people, that people

I used to walk on the city streets
Now I wander far and wide
And I never found my happiness
Until I moved to the country-side
Now follow me for a quiet day
Out riding on the trails
Waitin' Smog, Traffic Bomb
Where all the pigs and tales

I'm in shady grove
Shady Grove my honey
Shady grove my true love
I'm bound for Shady Grove

If you've been watching the city streets
Can't seem to get much greener
Then I know where we're going to
Our heads will feel much cleaner

It's Shady Grove my true love
Shady Grove my honey
Shady Grove my true love
I'm bound for Shady Grove

?
It's easy to know who you are
When you're living with the trees
I'm in Shady Grove
Shady Grove, where it's always clean ?

When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we see
No, I won't be afraid
Oh, I won't be afraid
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me, so

* Darling darling stand by me
Oh, stand by me
Oh stand, stand by me, stand by me
If the sky that we look upon


Should tumble and fall
Ot the mountain
Should crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No, I won't shed a tear
Just as long as you stand
Stand by me, and
(Repeat * 2 times)

Whenever you're in trouble
Won't you stand by me, oh stand by me

You poisoned my sweet water.
You cut down my green trees.
The food you fed my children
Was the cause of their disease.
My world is slowly fallin' down
And the airs not good to breathe.
And those of us who care enough,
We have to do something.......
Oh.......oh What you gonna do about me?
Oh.......oh What you gonna do about me?
Your newspapers,
They just put you on.
They never tell you
The whole story.
They just put your
Young ideas down.
I was wonderin' could this be the end
Of your pride and glory?
Oh...oh What you gonna do about me?
Oh...oh What you gonna do about me?
I work in your factory.
I study in your schools.
I fill your penitentiaries.
And your military too!
And I feel the future trembling,
As the word is passed around.
"If you stand up for what you do believe,
Be prepared to be shot down."
Oh...oh What you gonna do about me?
Oh...oh What you gonna do about me?
And I feel like a stranger
In the land where I was born
And I live like an outlaw.
An' I'm always on the run
An Im always getting busted
And I got to take a stand
I believe the revolution
Must be mighty close at hand
Oh...oh What you gonna do about me?
Oh...oh What you gonna do about me?
I smoke marijuana
But I cant get behind your wars.
And most of what I do believe
Is against most of your laws
I'm a fugitive from injustice
But I'm goin' to be free.
Cause your rules and regulations
They dont do the thing for me
Oh....oh What you gonna do about me?
Oh....oh What you gonna do about me?
And I feel like a stranger
In the land where I was born
And I live just like an outlaw.
An' I'm always on the run.
Oh....oh What you gonna do about me?

I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire,
I got a cobra snake for a necktie,
I got a brand new house by the road side,
Made out of rattlesnake hide.
I got me a chimney made on top,
Made from a human skull,
Now come on, take a little walk with me,
Now who do you love?
Come on Arlene, take me by the hand,
Let me know you understand,


Who do you love? ...
Ride nine times on the midnight train
Through the fire and cold rain,
Who do you love? ...
I've got a tombstone hand in a graveyard mine,
Just twenty-two and I don't mind dying,
Who do you love? ...

(Crazy Laughter)

When walking between the lines and the squares,
Be careful that you don't step on the bears.

(snorting)

There are bears on the stairs, often in pairs,
And their very hard to get along with.

(sniff, Sniff Sniff)

There are bears in the gutter, so be careful not to utter,
A sound that will disturb.

(burp)

Ther's something about honey, makes a bear kinda funny,
Especially when it's time to eat.

(Sniffs.... SHHHH.....

There's a bear

(crazy Laughter)

An' my belly is cravin', I got a shakin' in my head
I feel like I'm dyin' an' I wish I were dead
If I lived till tomorrow it's gonna be a long time
For I'll reel and I'll fall and rise on codine
An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time

When I was a young man I learned not to care
Wild whiskey in front an' I often did swear
My mother and father said, "Whiskey is a curse
But the fate of their baby, is a many times worse"
An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time

You'll forget your woman, you'll forget about the man
Try it just once, an' you'll try it again
It's sometimes you wonder and it's sometimes you think
That I'm a-livin' my life with abandon to drink
An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time

Stay away from the cities, stay away from the towns
Stay away from the men pushin' the codine around
Stay away from the stores where the remedy is found
I will live a few days as a slave to codine
An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time

An' my belly is cravin', I've got a shakin' in my head
An' I've started heatin' oh, whether my body has said
Stab yourself with the grains of cocaine
An' you'll end up dead or you'll end up insane
An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time

An' my belly is cravin', I've got a shakin' in my head
I feel like I'm dyin' an' I wish I were dead
If I lived till tomorrow it's gonna be a long time
For I'll reel and I'll fall and rise up on codine
An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time
An' it's real, an' it's real, one more time

Sometimes I dream of a world without war
People laughing in the sun
And a world without love ain't no place to live
Yet, we're still living but the gun
And I'm just another cowboy on the run

Sometimes the rain gets all in my eyes
'Till I can't see the wrongs I've done
I've got trouble on ahead, the sheriff's close behind
Oh God, I'd love to see the sun
And I'm just another cowboy on the run

Standing in a window, I don't know what to do
Standing in a doorway, I'm trying to pass on through
Walking on a freeway, I don't know where to go
Out on my highway, there's nothing here to do

I'd like to sail the sea, ride wild and free
And act as if my time won't ever come
Well, I keep on getting higher, set my soul on fire
But when it's all been said and done
I'm just one more cowboy on the run

Just another cowboy on the run
Oh, how I'd love to see the sun
And we're still living by the gun

I don't ever want to see you crying,
And I don't ever want to see you blue,
oh no, all I ever wanted to do was know you
And maybe hope you could know me too.
Well I don't ever want to make you sorry
For anything you've ever said or done,
Oh no, all I ever wanted to do was love you,
And maybe hope you could love me too.
And it's all right baby, I'm in love with you,
And it's all right, I would never make you blue or try to play with you,
Well I don't ever want to spoil your party, babe,
Or tell you where to go or what to do,
Oh no, all I ever wanted to do was know you,
There may be hope you could know me too.
And it's all right baby, I'm in love with you,
And it's all right, I would never make you blue or try to play with you,
Well I don't ever want to spoil your party, babe,
Or tell you where to go or what to do,
Oh no, all I ever wanted to do was love you,
There may be hope you could love me too.

Doin' time in the USA
We're doin' time in the USA
Brothers and my sisters
Mamas and your children too
Daddy's there's a big wheel turnin'
Rollin' over you
And I feel like a convict buddy
Feel like a ton of lead
Runnin' from the hounds
In the moonlight
Oh lord let me catch
My breadth
I wanna be free
Like a big bird flyin'
Free like the drivin' rain
Free like a hot sun shinin'
Somebody's done clipped my wings
I can't get no satisfaction
No kinda way
Locked in
Good god you know I'm locked down
Doin' time in the USA
Rave on
Rave on buddy
Bout' your good vibrations
All the way
Lay back
Get high
With your baby
Your love in the USA
We're doin'time in the USA
We're doin' time in the USA

Don't Cry My Lady Love by Quicksilver Messenger Service
Don't cry, my sweet love
You know how I can't stand you crying
All right, my lady love
I know you have heart, begin tryin'

Some day in the morning
When the sunshine won't shine in your window
You may remember
That I was the sun in your window

But these things happen all the time
They're always the same
One's always crying
And one's always easing the pain

You say goodbye, my lady love
I don't want the memories to haunt you
Just look in my eyes, babe
You can change my mind if you want to

But some day that someone
That you never cared for, will start again
You may remember
The one boy you won't share your heart with

But these things happen
And they're never right on time
One's always leavin'
And one's always changin' his mind

Another time, another place
You'll know that I'd really love you
Dry your eyes, my funny face
Another place, another world about you

Don't you remember
The way that you once tried to leave me
And maybe some day
You may know you really didn't need me

But these things happen all the time
They're always the same
One's always crin'
And one's always takin' the blame
One's always crin'
And one's always takin' the blame

In the valley where the moons and lovers play live two children who were born on Saturday.
One was dark, one was fair, followed by the hawk, mothered by the mare.
Stranger children you will never see, brothers of the forest and the sea,
One was land, one was air, and they kept the fires burning there.
In a golden vessel and silver vase, kept them burning in the strange enchanted
place,
Kept them burning to the sky, for they knew someday the sun would die

Oh, what you do to me, oh, what you do to me, little girl.
Ooo, have another hit of sweet air, come on, ooo, have another hit.
I want to know where you're going,
I want to know, sweet mama, where you're gonna go, yeah.
Ooo, have another hit of fresh air, ooo, have another hit.
Oh, baby, what you gonna do, oh, honey, what you gonna do, sweet thing?
Ooo, have another hit of sweet love, ooo, have another hit.
I love you, yes I do, babe, and I love you, I do, sweet lips.
Ooo, have another hit of sweet California sunshine, ooo, have another hit.
Take me home, take me home, take me home with you,
Take me home, I wanna go home with you, little girl.
Ooo, have another hit of fresh air, ooo, have another hit.

Been waiting here a ong long time, pain and trouble on my mind,
You came along and made me see, oh you lifted me.
Shot up everything that our money could buy, over and over, tryin' to find out
why.
I was a sinkin' ship on a stormy sea, oh I found love.
I found love in a baby's smile, I found love in an old man's eye,
I found love in a lover's kiss, ooh I found love.
All my friends thought I was cryin', it's strange to see a good man going
down.
I gave all I had to give and you came along, taught me how to live.
I want to thank you each and every day, thank you baby, for showin' me the
way,
I was a sinkin' ship on a stormy sea, oh I found love, love, love, I found
love

You went away and left me long time ago
And now you're knockin' on my door

I hear you knocking but you can't come in
I hear you knocking, go back where you've been
I begged you not to go, but you said goodbye
And now you tell me all your lies
I hear you knocking, but you can't come in
I hear you knocking, go back where you've been

You better get back to your use to be
'Cause your kind of love ain't good for me

I hear you knocking, but you can't come in
I hear you knocking, go back where you've been
I told you way back in Fifty Two
That I would never go with you
I hear you knocking, but you can't come in
I hear you knocking, go back where you've been

To do just what you say you'll do,

And I need you to trust me too,
open your eyes.
So the sun can shine lights in you,

So open those eyes

Light on your windows
and take all your baby blues
