PEE-RO JUAN VALDEZ SAM QUIXOTE

Whenever you are down in Tijuana
I'll tell you who you should go to see
The man who can tell you what is happening
Pee-ro Juan Valdez Sam Quixote.

Ask Pee-ro about his friend Rosita
And if he should tell you you'd better not
Ask how is his sister Juanita
The line he'll give is man you ask a lot.

Oh oh ask Pee-ro
Oh oh ask Pee-ro
Oh oh ask Pee-ro
Oh oh ask Pee-ro

If ever you should feel a little down
Wait til Dr. Pee-ro comes around
He will give you something that will help
And it just might cure everything else.

REACHING OUT FOR SOMEONE

Going to San Francisco
To live my life away
Had to search for 15 years
To crash for just a day

I needed my revival
But I guess it never came
You know the summer brought the winter
And they both forgot my name

Reaching out for someone
Tell me what more can I say
Are you going my way

Wasted in Sausalito
A revelation came
I guess I could make it
But I won't play the game

Great God Almighty's gone
And he never even cried
And if you don't believe me
Then I want you by my side

Traveling on this mountain
I'll tell you what I see
I thought I saw Methuselah
Coming on down to me

Well I looked right up the rail road line
And I hear the rumblin' roar
I reached down in my pocket
And feel nothing anymore

REASON TO BELIEVE

If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied, straight-faced, while I cried
Still I'd look to find a reason to believe

If I gave you time to change my mind
I'd find a way to leave the past behind
Knowing that you lied, straight-faced, while I cried
Still I'd look to find a reason to believe

Someone like you
Makes it hard to live without
Somebody else
Someone like you
Makes it easy to give,
Never think of myself

RECYCLE SALLY

I know she's gone again
I saw her walking up the track
God only knows when she will be back
The only thing I know as sure as
Morning starts the day
When she comes home again
This is what they'll all say.

Recycle Sally coming round again
Recycle Sally we all know where you've been
Recycle Sally why can't the fools see
Recycle Sally Recycle Sally Recycle Sally
That you recycle to me.

Now Sally ain't about to start to get settled down
She likes to circulate herself all around town
She might get abused and crushed all out of shape
But they ain't made nothing that my Sally can't take.

RINGS


Ring ring telephone rings
Somebody says baby what you doin'
I've been wonderin' where you've been
Now and then I think about you and me

There's no use fighting about things
We can't recall
Cos it don't matter girl at all

Just come on home
And baby we'll laugh and sing
And we'll make love
And let the telephone ring

Ring ring door bell ring
Baby come on in
I got the Allman Brothers on the stereo

I'm glad you came around
I've been feeling down
Talking to Tony and Mario

You know they make good conversation
But girl that ain't no consolation
Cos I got love and baby I'll give you some
And if somebody comes we'll let the door bell ring

Ring ring golden ring
Around the sun around your pretty finger
Ring ring voices ring
With a happy tune anybody can be a singer

The sun comes up across the city
I swear you never looked so
Dog gone pretty

Hand in hand
We'll stand upon the sand
With the preacher man
And let the wedding bell ring

ROCK 'N' ROLL DAYS

I've seen a lot of things change in many ways
Since I was a boy back in the rock and roll days
Back when a bust was a six-pack of cold beer.
Marciano, he was champ the band all played through one
amp
And the biggest thing was getting rubber in second gear

I love the rock and roll days
And I love all the good old ways
We used to do things in our crowd
I love the rock and roll days
And I love all the good old ways
We used to do the same things that we do now.

The only bikes back there were Schwinns
The only pigs were the bad wolf's friend
And going to the outdoor movie was something neat
Messing around then was not big
That's the one thing I did not dig
I was lucky to get as far as the back seat.

RUNNING DEER

I promised you if you'd love me
That I'd never ever go
Want you to know now that I meant that
Just didn't know they'd need me so

My body's here in the city
But my soul is back at home
My people need my education
Pleading eyes won't leave my head alone.

So this is Running Deer running
To the home I left behind
This is running deer running
Before I run out of my mind.

I told you bout the reservation
And the way that I was raised
How my family never had much
Well now I've got some debts to pay

You were born here in the city
You've seen the hunger and the pain
My people lived like that for centuries
That's what I have got to try and change.

SOMETHING TO SEE ME THROUGH

I know I'm a grown man
With a life of my own
I packed up and I left you
I call another place home
But sometimes being grown
Is a hard thing to do
That's the time I start thinking of you

So come and sing me a love song
Like you used to do
I just need a love song
To see me through

We can sit in the back yard
In our old white swing
I know I'll feel better
The moment you start to sing
That's the time my worries leave me
For awhile
That's the time once again I'm a child

A lot of things change
As we grow old
Some things we buy up
And others are sold
But one thing won't change
No matter what I do
That's the way I feel
When I'm with you

STANDIMG AT THE END OF THE LINE

You've been around for a long
long time;
I've seen you here before.
You'll meet some guy who really turns
And sneak out of the side door.
You'll never look my way I know
I ain' much to look at

But one of these nights you're goin' home with me

I'm gonna see to that.

Well
I'm just waitin' out my time
Standing at the end of the line

I got a lot of lovin' I'm savin' inside for you.
Yeah
I'm just waitin' out my time

Standing at the end of the line

But you're gonna know that you've been loved

When I get through lovin' you.

You looked right at me and smiled

One time just last week

And what one look from you did to me

It kept me in my seat.
But you picked another guy to entertain you that night

And I was left to entertain myself

So I got into a fight.

While
I was just waitin' out my time . . .

STILL IN LOVE

I get through the day I go on
My own way
But I don't really know what to do
Night comes to pass and with it the past
And all of my past is you

And I'm still in love with you
I'm still in love with you

She hears my dreams she
Knows what they mean
But she must have dreams of her own
It's not that she means nothing to me
Or that I'd rather be alone

It's just that I'm still in love with you
I'm still in love with you

I'm back at the start chasing your heart
But only one part is true
I'm still in love with you
Yes I'm still in love with you

You call me at night to see if I'm alright
But you want to know if she's here
You don't want her here and
You don't want me there
Now baby do you still care

Could it be that you're still in love with me
Are you still in love with me
