"Highway Of Our Love"

Morning has come,
With the first rays of sun,
Breakin' through our window pane.
Songs fill the air,
But there's no singer there,
Just an old wooden guitar playin'.

Writing a song,
Won't take very long,
Trying not to use the word "old".
Thinking about,
Taking chances and doubts,
That still linger in the cold.

Looking forward,
All that I can see,
Is good things happening
to you and to me.
I'm not waiting,
For times to change.
I'm going to live,
Like a free-roamin' soul,
On the highway of our love.

Looking forward,

Morning has come,
With the first rays of sun,
Breaking through our window pane.
Songs fill the air,
But there's no singer there,
Just an old wooden guitar playin'.

"Hillbilly Band"

There was an ill wind blowing
Through my hair last night
That froze me in my blue jeans.
I couldn't find a light
I know that something's coming
I can feel it in my bones
Thank God
for those old country boys,
I ain't out here alone.

My friends all tell me
I got daggers in my eyes
There's an anger in my heart
That they don't realize
I'm mad as hell at something
That I don't understand
Thank God
I'm on the road tonight
With this old hillbilly band.

Thank God
I'm on the road tonight
With this old hillbilly band.
We may not be good looking
But we sure get outta hand
Was that The Devil's stagecoach
Flying over the Rio Grande?
Thank God
I'm on the road tonight
With this old hillbilly band.

I swear that The Devil
Came visiting me last night
Surrounded my old stagecoach
With his eerie light
He was pounding on my windows
Rattling my wheels
I may not be The Devil
But I know just how he feels.

Thank God
I'm on the road tonight
With this old hillbilly band.
We may not be good looking
But we sure get outta hand
Was that The Devil's stagecoach
Flying over the Rio Grande?
Thank God
I'm on the road tonight
With this old hillbilly band.

"Hitchhiker"

When I was a hitchhiker on the road
I had to count on you
But you needed me to ease the load
And for conversation too
Or did you just drive on through.

You didn't see me in Toronto
When I first tried out some hash
Smoked some then and I'll do it again
If I only had some cash
Only had some cash.

Then I tried amphetamines
And my head was in a glass
Taped underneath the speedometer wires
Of my '48 Buick's dash.
But I knew that wouldn't last.

Then came California
Where I first saw open water
In the land of opportunity
I knew I was getting hotter
I knew I was getting hotter.

But the neon lights
And the endless nights
The neon lights
And the endless nights
The neon lights
And the endless nights
The neon lights
And the endless nights
They took me by surprise
The doctor gave me valium
But I still couldn't close my eyes
I still couldn't close my eyes.

Then came paranoia
And it ran away with me
I couldn't sign my autograph
Or appear on TV
Or see or be seen
See or be seen
Or see or be seen.

Living in the country
Sounded good to me
Smoking grass while the summer lasts
In the real organic sea
Where everything was green
Everything was green.

Then we had a kid and we split apart
I was living on the road
A little cocaine went a long long way
To ease that different load
But my head did explode
My head did explode.

I wish I was an Aztec
Or a runner in Peru
I would build such beautiful buildings
To house the chosen few
Like an Inca from Peru.

When I was a hitchhiker on the road
I had to count on you
But you needed me to ease the load
And for conversation too
Or did you just drive on
Did you just drive on
Did you just drive on through.

Or did you just drive on
Did you just drive on
Did you just drive on through.

"Hold You In My Arms"

When I hold you in my arms
it's a breath of fresh air,
when I hold you in my arms
I forget what's out there,
All those people with their faces
walkin' up the street,
They don't have to say a thing
just look around and you see.

New buildings going up,
old buildings coming down,
New signs going up,
old signs coming down,
You gotta hold onto something in this life.

Well the older generation
they got something to say,
But they better say it fast
or get outta the way.
All those gangsters with their crimes
they make it look so good,
We've been blowing up the planet
just like the old neighbourhood.

New buildings going up,
old buildings coming down,
New signs going up,
old signs coming down,
You gotta hold onto something in this life.

If I only had a heart
it would beat all night for you,
If I only had a heart
I would cry the whole day through,
When I hold you in my arms
it's like a breath of fresh air,
when I hold you in my arms
I forget what's out there.

Old heart's going up,
old heart's coming down,
My feelings going up,
my feelings coming down,
You gotta hold onto someone in this life.

When I hold you in my arms
it's a breath of fresh air.
When I hold you in my arms
I forget what's out there.

"Homefires"

I'm not the same man
I was a while ago
I've learned some new things,
I hope that it shows.

I'm free to give my love,
But you're not the one
I'm thinking of,
So for me
the wheels are turning
Got to keep
the homefires burning.

I'll walk these borders
In search of a line,
Between young lovers
Who live separate lives.

How long can this go on?
I can hear another song,
Late at night
when I've been drinking
Substitute comes at me winking.

How long can this go on?
I can hear another song,
Late at night
when I've been drinking
Substitute comes at me winking.

I'm not the same man
I was a while ago
I've learned some new things,
I hope that it shows.

I'm free to give my love,
But you're not the one
I'm thinking of.

"Honey, I Got The Blues"

Now, New York City
on a Friday night
A lot of things happenin',
a lot of bright lights.
Saw a pretty woman
all dressed in red
She turned to me
and this is what she said
She said, Honey I got the blues
I got the blues
from ridin' all night
in these high heel shoes.

Well, she took me to the corner
that she called her home
Turned around
and we were all alone.
Come on in, she said with a smile
Come on in and we can rest a while.
Well, Honey I got the blues
I got the blues
from ridin' all night
in these high heel shoes.

I said, Listen here,
honey, I been around
You ain't foolin' me, 'cause
I know what you've found.
She bent kinda low and then
she tickled my lips.
She said, Listen here, son,
I'm gonna give you a tip
Honey I got the blues
I got the blues
from ridin' all night
in these high heel shoes.

"I Ain't Got The Blues"

Well, I'm a little light-headed
But my body feels the same
And it feels like fallin' on down
And find another name
But the sand in my shoes
May trickle to my brain
Well, I ain't got the blues
But something more tame
Oh yeah, something more tame
Oh yeah, something more tame.

Well the sound of the drums
Is pounding in my head
Like ten thousand dancers
With bodies full of lead
And I feel like a bull
With an eye-full of red
Well, I ain't got the blues
But something better bred
Oh yeah, something better bred
Oh yeah, something better bred.

If tomorrow sees another
Kind of farm I know
Well, the people and the soldiers
And the gypsies groan
It would be like a wonder
And I cannot let it go
Well, I ain't got the blues
But something more slow
Oh yeah, something more slow
Oh yeah, something more slow.

But the people in the cities
And the other ones too
Ain't got too many wonders
That they're not tied to
And I can't help but feeling
As I'm wearing straight through
Well, I ain't got the blues
But something more true
Oh yeah, something more true
Oh yeah, something more true.

"I Am A Child"

I am a child, I'll last a while.
You can't conceive
of the pleasure in my smile.
You hold my hand,
rough up my hair,
It's lots of fun
to have you there.

God gave to you,
now, you give to me,
I'd like to know
what you learned.
The sky is blue
and so is the sea.
What is the color,
when black is burned?
What is the color?

You are a man, you understand.
You pick me up
and you lay me down again.
You make the rules,
you say what's fair,
It's lots of fun
to have you there.

God gave to you,
now, you give to me,
I'd like to know
what you learned.
The sky is blue
and so is the sea.
What is the color,
when black is burned?
What is the color?

I am a child, I'll last a while.
You can't conceive
of the pleasure in my smile.

"I Wonder Why"

For the love of man
Who could understand
What goes on
What is right
and what is wrong
Why the angels cry
And the heaven's sigh
When a child is born to live
But not like you and I.

Let the angels ring the bells
In the holy hall
May they hear the voice
That calls to them
For the love of man
Who will understand
It's alright
I know it's alright.

Down the dusty road
To the forest church
Let wander there
Let me wonder why
On the ocean wave
In the billowing sky
Let wander there
Let me wonder why.

Let the angels ring the bells
In the holy hall
Let them hear
the voice that calls.
For the love of man
Who will understand
It's alright
But I wonder why.

I wonder why.
I wonder why.
I wonder why.
I wonder why.

"If You Got Love"

When you walk in a room
You hold your head up high
You talk to people eye to eye
There's nothing to hide
You're feeling
so complete inside
Your heart feels
so complete inside
'Cause you got love.

If you got love
You know you got it
If you got love
Can't live without it
If you got love
The world you're walking in
Is at your command

You're staring
in the face of scorn
You know your spirit
can't be torn
You're living like a satellite
Maintain your distance
through the night
You know that
something isn't right
Your heart tells you
it's just not right
'Cause you got love.

If you got love
You know you got it
If you got love
Can't live without it
If you got love
The world you're walking in
Is at your command.

If you got love
The world you're walking in
Is at your command
If you got love
To share
If you got love
To share.
