This America (Martin van Wijk)


It's my land and in days to come
Follow me and we can have some.
Beautiful flowers I give to you,
If I'll stay then I'll be true.

Lovely lady, you call me,
Two together we will be free.
Beautiful presents I shall bring,
All together we can sing.

This America,
I love how you love us.
This America,
I love how you need us.
This America,
I love how you want us to be free.
Come on and follow me.

People ask me to come and see
All the things they can offer to me.
I turn them down, 'cause I like your style.
I'll stick around here for a while.

This America,
I love how you love us.
This America,
I love how you need us.
This America,
I love how you want us to be free.

This America,
I love how you love us.

Come on and follow me,
Come on and follow me,
Come on and follow me,
Come on and follow me,
Come on and follow me,
Come on and follow me,
Come on and follow me,
Come on and follow me.

Nashville rebel (Robbie van Leeuwen)


They call me the Nashville rebel,
They say, `Leave that girl alone.'
Don't you give them advice,
So you turn to ice
And you might as well talk to stone.
But I've got things to do
And things to say in my own way.

I don't have time for your parties,
I love little kissing games.
I've got songs to write
In the steal of night,
I was born to write and sing.
And I've got things to do
And things to say in my own way.

Nashville rebel,
Nashville rebel,
Nashville rebel,
Nashville rebel.

They call me the Nashville rebel,
Oh boy, don't you waste your time?
For I given my heart to this old guitar
You deserve a better love than mine.
And I've got things to do
And things to say in my own way.

I'm the Nashville rebel,
I'm a loner and not like it fine.
A doctor has a wife and lives a normal life,
But I just don't have the time,
'Cause I've got things to do
And things to say in my own way.

Nashville rebel,
Nashville rebel,
Nashville rebel,
Nashville rebel,
Nashville rebel,
Nashville rebel.

Ball of confusion (Martin van Wijk)


Ooh, yeah, yeah.
Ooh, woh, woh.

It's all just a ball of confusion,
Think it out and take it for a ride.
So take my advice and don't you lose it
By not giving up before we tried,
Before we tried, before we tried.

I don't know about revolution,
I don't even know the reason why.
So let us start and give a contribution
By not giving up before we tried,
Before we tried, before we tried.

I need your love, you need mine,
I'm your lover, you're my slave.
Come on baby, get it done,
Coming closer, turn me on,
Turn me on.

It's all just a ball of confusion,
Think it out and take it for a ride.
So take my advice and don't you lose it
By not giving up before we tried,
Before we tried, before we tried.

I need your love, you need mine,
I'm your lover, you're my slave.
Come on baby, get it done,
Coming closer, turn me on,
Turn me on.

I am wrong and you are right,
Don't give up without a fight.
If you'll win, I'll let you in,
If you'll lose, I'll be confused.

Bring it back,
Yeah, bring it on home.
Bring it back,
Now bring it on home.
Yeah, bring it back,
Oh, bring it on home.
Yeah, bring it back,
Now bring it on home.

Ah, ah!
Ah, ah!
Ah, ah!
Ah, ah!
Ah, ah!
Ah, ah!

I won't be lonely long (Martin van Wijk)


Sitting here waiting at the station,
Waiting for my train to come.
I've got a one-way ticket hanging out my pocket,
I won't be lonely long.

Eleven forty-five I'm gonna get that train,
I know I won't be lonely again.
Mister, rent your driver, put your foot on the floor,
I can't be there at no later than four.

Burn the track, get me back,
There's someone at the end of the line.
Let's fade away like the evening sun.
I won't be lonely long,
I won't be lonely long.

Never marry a railroad man (Robbie van Leeuwen)


Have you been broken-hearted once or twice?
If it's yes, how did you feel at his crossed lines?
If it's no, you need this good advice.

Never marry a railroad man,
He loves you ev'ry now and then
His heart is at his new train.
No, no, no!
Don't fall in love with a railroad man.
If you do forget him if you can.
You're better off without him.
Ah!

Have you ever been restless in your bed
And so lonely that your eyes became wet?
Let me tell you then one thing.

Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm.
Mm mm mm mm mm mm mm.
Mm mm mm mm.
No, no, no!

Never marry a railroad man,
He loves you ev'ry now and then
His heart is at his new train.
No, no, no!
Don't fall in love with a railroad man.
If you do forget him if you can.
You're better off without him.
No, no, no!
No, no, no!
No, no, no!
No, no, no!

Dream on dreamer (Robbie van Leeuwen)


Dream on dreamer
And tell me 'bout the secrets of your soul.
Your lips still there, a mysterious smile
And the reason why I wanna know.

Dream, dream,
Dream on dreamer.
Dream, dream,
Dream on dreamer.

Dream on dreamer
And tell me 'bout the feeling in your mind.
I'm so [...] just to know right now
What will happen and what has been.

Dream, dream,
Dream on dreamer.
Dream, dream,
Dream on dreamer.

Maybe there's loving in your heart
And you tell me that we will never part.
Maybe an ocean of love is waiting for me.

Dream on dreamer
And tell me 'bout the secrets of your soul.
Your lips still there, a mysterious smile
And the reason why I wanna know.

Dream, dream,
Dream on dreamer.
Dream, dream,
Dream on dreamer.
Dream, dream,
Dream on dreamer.
