"Time To Heal"


Well, I came into the city
with a swansuit on my back.
I didn't have no place to live,
I didn't even have a country shack.
I didn't have no money,
didn't even have a place to go.
Just one thing on my mind,
I'm gonna tell you so you know.

I've been hurt so bad now,
couldn't know the way I feel.
Well, I tell you,
I've been hurt so bad,
gonna take a long, long time to heal.

Well, I got myself a woman,
then I proved myself a man.
Got myself a place to live,
gonna do the best I can.
Got myself some money,
even got myself a place to go.
One thing on my mind,
I'm gonna tell you so you know.

Well, I've been hurt so bad now,

"Sail Across The Mountain"


As the day begins, it finds me wonderin'
what to do with myself.
You came here, you left your mark, you disappeared,
now there is nobody else.

Time was we sailed across the mountain.
The song of the sky made my body rejoice.
Time was we sailed across the mountain.
Sailed across the mountain,
and the sun was in my voice.

I need someone to come along and
take this weight right of my shoulder before I fall.
You were here, but now you've gone.
The summer came and slept away from under us all.

Time was we sailed across the mountain.
The mist cleared away and I saw your face there.
Time was we sailed across the mountain.
Sailed across the mountain,
and the sun was in your hair.

The mountainside is very steep,
can't go on, I've tried to sleep.
Somebody lay me down.
If you don't climb, you're gonna fall,
catch your wary dreams at all.
A-a-ah, yeah (somebody lay me down).
Back in the ground,
yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah.
Somebody lay me down.
I need somebody (somebody lay me down).
Need somebody to lay me down,
yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah,
somebody to lay me down.

How I got here I can't say.
It was my own fault,
I admit that I should have learned.
From watching others I have seen
it's either up or down,
there can be no in-between.

Time was we sailed across the mountain.
To think it could last can't have been very wise.
Time sent me falling down the mountain.
Falling down the mountain,
for the sun was in my eyes.

"Spirit"

   
I need you to show me the way.
"Can you help me?" is all I can say.
I need you to set me on straight.
Help me now before it's too late.

Come along, I'll give you your directions
how to try, but nothin' I see.
Or is it just a subtle reflection
of what I am or am destined to be.

I need you to set me on straight.
Help me now before it's too late.
I need you to show me the way.
"Can you help me?" is all I can say.

Come along, I'll give you your directions
how to try, but nothin' I see.
Or is it just a subtle reflection
of what I am or am destined to be.
Hoh!

I need you to show me the way.
"Can you help me?" is all I can say.
I need you to set me on straight.
Help me now before it's too late.

Come along, I'll give you your directions.
how to try, but nothin' I see.
Or is it just a subtle reflection
of what I am or am destined to be.

"Boogie My Way Back Home"

   
Hey you with the guitar.
Where did you play last night?
I do believe it was in Memphis,
but I can't remember right now.
'Cause I been foul politicin'
and I acted in fear to be.
I had to get up five this morning
with them bells playing in my head.

Sometimes I work so hard,
I'm gonna play my fingers to the bone.
Well, I can boogie, boogie,
boogie on my way back home.

Well, I've been workin' every night
for the pastes buy meats and needs.
I'm gonna finish up tomorrow night
and turn myself a plane back east.
I'm gonna do my work
so I can help my pain and rest.
Well, I'll be back here someday soon
hope I can give my best.

Sometimes I work so hard,
I'm gonna play my fingers to the bone.
And now I can boogie, boogie,
boogie on my way back home.
Yeah.

Well, my axe is gettin' rusty
and an old slow demon I seem to be.
The throat is gettin' dusty,
before it's gone that I had thrifty hands.
Well, I've been up for heart breakin'
and I had to keep my men to pay.
I had to catch a plane this morning
with them bells ringing in my head.

Sometimes I work so hard,
I'm gonna, gonna play my fingers to the bone, hooh.
Well, now I can boogie, boogie,
boogie on my way back home.

Said I learned to boogie, boogie,
boogie on my way back home.

I can boogie, boogie,
boogie on my way back home.

"Back On The Streets"


Listen to me woman,
I just think it's a sin.
I know you hear me knockin',
But you won't let me in.
Might be fine for you
Just to keep me hangin' round.
But if you don't open up this door,
I'm gonna kick it down.

Sometimes I feel like
I'm back on the streets again.
Sometimes I feel like
There's nowhere to go.
Sometimes I feel like
I'm back on the streets again.

Listen , you've been telling me to short
For much too long.
But now I'm gonna put you back
Where you belong.
Might be fine for you
Just to keep me hangin' round.
But if you don't open up this door,
I'm gonna kick it down.

Sometimes I feel like
I'm back on the streets again.
Sometimes I feel like
There's nowhere to go.
Sometimes I feel like
I'm back on the streets again.
Sometimes it's the only place that I know.
That I know.

Sometimes I feel like
I'm back on the streets again.
Sometimes I feel like
there's no place to go.
Sometimes I feel like
I'm back on the streets again.
Sometimes it's the only place that I know.

Sometimes I feel like
I'm back on the streets again.
Sometimes I feel like
There's no place to go.
Sometimes I feel like
I'm back on the streets again.
Sometimes it's the only place that I know.

Only place that I know
Yeah.

"Don't Believe A Word"

   
One, two, three

Don't believe me if I tell you.
Not a word of this is true.
Don't believe me if I tell you,
Especially if I tell you that I'm in love with you.

Don't believe me if I tell you
that I wrote this song for you.
There just might be some other silly pretty girl
I'm singing it to.

Don't believe a word,
'cause words are only spoken.
And a heart is like a promise,
Meant to be broken.

Don't believe a word,
For words can tell lies.
And lies are no comfort
When there's tears in your eyes.

Don't believe me if I tell you.
Not a word of this is true.
Don't believe me if I tell you,
Especially if I tell you, that I'm in love with you.

Don't believe a word.
Lord, don't believe a word.
Don't believe me, don't believe me.
Oh, not a single word.
Oh.

"Fanatical Fascists"

   
There's a new sensation
Playin' across the nation.
Just don't care, they just don't care.
They'll eat your heart out
Before you start out.
Just don't care, they just don't care.

Every dog will have its own way.
Throw out the old, bring in the new, they say.
Every dog will have its new day.
Just don't care, just don't care.

Fanatical fascists with Italian mustaches
Just don't care, they just don't care.
They'll beat your brains in
So stop your complaining.
Just don't care, they just don't care.

Your heart is leaning to the left,
But your hand in your pocket
It leads you to the right.
Your heart is leaning to the left,
But the fight is tonight.
The fight's tonight.

Oh, no, no, oh, no, no.
Oh, no, no, oh, no, no.
Oh, no, no, oh, no, no.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

They just don't care, just don't care.
Just don't, just don't care.
Just don't, just don't care.
Just don't, just don't care.
Just don't, just don't care.

Just don't.
Just don't.

Just don't.
Just don't.
Just don't.

etc.

"Song For Donna"

   
Whenever I'm with you,
The more I can give you,
The love that's inside my heart.
No, it's not easy,
But baby believe me,
It hurts me when we're apart.

But the road won't go on forever.
You can dry your tears away.

Whenever you're near me,
I know you can hear
The love beating in my heart.
I know it ain't easy,
But baby believe me,
It hurts me when we're apart.

But the road won't go on forever.
You can dry your tears away.
No, the road won't go on forever.
I'll be by your side someday.

But the road won't go on forever.
You can dry your tears away.
No, the road won't go on forever.
I'll be by your side someday.

Won't go on forever,
Won't go on forever,

Won't go on forever,
Won't go on forever,

etc.

"Parisienne Walkways"


I remember Paris in '49.
The Champs Elysee, San Michelle
And old Beauolais wine.
And I recall that you were mine
In those Parisienne days.

Looking back at the photographs.
Those summerdays spent outside corner cafes.
Oh, I could write you paragraphs,
About my old Parisienne days.

"You"

   
Sometimes when I look around
At people who are lonely
I feel a sense of sadness deep inside
It makes me wonder how I got along
Before I found you
And what I'd do if you should turn around
And say goodbye

'Cause baby you
You're what I'm living for
I couldn't have asked for more
Right from the moment that I found you
I knew that you
You were the one for me
The one who could make me see
This world could be a brighter place

Sometimes when I think about
The friends I left behind me
I feel a sense of sadness deep inside
It makes me wonder how I knew
That one day you would find me
And what I'd do if you should turn around
And say goodbye

'Cause baby you
You're what I'm living for
I couldn't have asked for more
Right from the moment that I found you
I knew that you
You were my brightest star
And whether you're close or far
You're always here inside my heart

'Cause baby you
You're what I'm living for
I couldn't have asked for more
Right from the moment that I found you
I knew that you
You were my brightest star
(You were my brightest star)
And whether you're close or far
You're always here inside my heart

Yes, baby you
You're what I'm living for
I couldn't have asked for more
Right from the moment that I found you
I knew that you
You were the one for me
(You were the one for me)
The one who could make me see
This world could be a brighter
This world could be a brighter
With you this world's a brighter place
