A Girl Like You

 

Don’t worry, but be afraid, don’t be a…

Don’t make me mad, don’t be so sad, don’t be a…

Don’t talk so fast, don’t cry so loud, don’t be a…

Don’t worry, but be afraid

 

Don’t be alarmed once you find out you don’t know a thing

We used to be alike but now I can sing

I see the light in your eyes now is almost as dim

As the light in your heart, do you know what I mean?

 

Don’t look my way, no don’t you stay, I don’t need a…

Don’t lead me on, don’t help yourself, I don’t need a…

Don’t cry on me, don’t die on me, I don’t need a…

Don’t look my way, no... don’t you stay…

 

I don’t need a girl like you hanging around me again

Someone with your nerve will make me meet the end

Crazy bitches like you only good for one thing

Stop acting your part and you’ll see what I mean.

 

High on the Hillside

 

Over and over I feel you beside me turning

You wake me up at night, moon shining bright, and I feel you

You got me on my knees, babe I'm begging please, don't you leave me

 

Over and over again, my friend

 

High on the hillside lets me see clearly, you flowing

Stay here forever, never come down, just keep dreaming

Pick me up again, make me understand what I'm seeing

 

Over and over again, my friend

 

I will fly with the hawk

I will swim to the sea

I will do what it takes baby

To keep you here with me

 

I'll be hard as a rock

I'll be tall as a tree

I will do what it takes, baby

To keep you here with me.


Take me Fishing

 

Take me fishing someday babe, we’ll catch enough to eat

Take me to the lighthouse in your room so sweet

I wondered by a sea of grass, stopped to smell the day

But I’m so full of nothing now, we’ll go fishing someday.

 

It was us remember

Smoking and drinking booze

You didn’t even know my name

It was the game we chose to lose

 

Take your tired arms, babe

And hold my tired head

Tell me about your loss

The night you found me dead.

 

Iowa

 

Go ahead, leave without me

I will stay right here behind

I am waiting for my baby

No, I’m not crying, that’s just the rain in my eyes

 

Rolling along a road that goes nowhere

Cutting away at the hole in the sky

Somewhere along my watch has stopped working

No, I’m not crying, that’s just the rain in my eyes

 

Over the hills, across the sky, there lies a land

Clear as a photograph, brings my family back, I like it there

All alone at the top of the world, here I stand

Burned in the fire, I couldn’t get higher without you here

 

Well, come with me, come be free

In the gleaming walls of childhood

So much hope, so much pain

Let it thunder, make it rain

 

Counting the days that pass without warning

Finding a way to be my own guide

The curtain has closed on these old travelers

No, I’m not crying, that’s just the rain in my eyes

 

Down in my soul I’ve got a feeling

Deeper than anyone ever could know

Keeps me from falling when there no where to run to

No, I’m not crying, that’s just the rain in my eyes.

 

 

Games for May

I was a good man, and I had a good plan

I had the crystal ball in my pocket

I felt the fire burn, and I watched the world turn

I cried out loud for one more day

 

To play games for May

To rest the day away

To sleep beside the ocean where I can get lost inside my mind

 

I am my father’s son, and I have my mother's tongue

I don’t suck my thumb anymore

I cried the day my dog died, but he's still alive

Hallelujah 

And playing games for May

And rest the day away

And sleep beside the ocean where I can get lost inside my mind

 

And now I’m going to where I done come from

Only taking them for some fun

Y'all can laugh at me and call me dumb, but anyway

Now I going to where I done come from

And playing games for May

And rest the day away

And sleep beside the ocean where I can get lost inside my mind

 

I worked my way on up, no I didn’t make this up

I come from the land of make-believe

I’m going back someday, someday soon I say

I’m going to live with my lost May.



All We Were

 

The sky is blue and the grass is green

She’s stuck somewhere in between

Memory does her no good
I brought her flowers every day

Thought I’d take the easy way

I got bored and she got sad

I broke her heart and she got mad

 

And I wonder what brought me to her in first place

She picked me up then dropped me on my face

She loved me so much but I liked her face

I wonder what brought me to her in the first place

 

I left her for a sunny day

Cause sunny days don’t betray

Fortunately now I’m alone

I’ll never go back there again

Now that I’ve let my life begin

I think about her from time to time

I’m feeling fine, I wonder if she’s feeling fine

 

And she loved me but all we were was okay

I tried to forget but there was no way

And she tried to forget but there was no way

She loved me but all we were was okay


All We Were

And she loved me but all we were was okay

She loved me but all we were was okay
She loved me but all we were was okay

Na na na na na na na na na na

All We Were

 

 

Forever and a Year

 

I walk alone by myself, I walk with you by my side

I dream alone in my bed, I dream with you by my side

I don’t know what you will do, I don’t know what I will do

 

You’re leavin’ now, and I’m freakin’ out

But I’ll wait forever and a year just for you

 

You dream of me in your sleep, I watch you dream of me
You taught me how to love the earth, I taught you how to love me

 

You’re leavin’ now, and I’m freakin’ out

But I’ll wait forever and a year just for you

 

No money will change my mind, maybe money will change your mind

I think you’ll feel alone, I’m afraid to be on my own

I wrote this song just for you, I guess I wrote it for me, too

You dream of me in your sleep, I watch you dream of me

 

You’re leavin’ now, and I’m freakin’ out

I’ll wait forever and a year just for you
I can wait if you can too

 
Rocket 455
 
What I’m gonna do, I don’t know
Got to find a way to get off death row
Woke up this morning 'bout a quarter to ten
Turned out the light and drank a bottle of gin

 

I got the blues
 
Phone started ringin’ half past three
I picked it up and you were talkin’ to me
Come over baby, I said with a smile
I know its late, but you’re just my style
 
I got the blues

Well I got ‘em so bad

I ain’t got nothin’ to lose

 

Me and my baby we got a date

Eight o-clock I better not be late

I met her on the corner I was right on time

But man, that woman ain’t worth my dime

 

I got the blues

Yeah, Yeah I got the blues

Well I got ‘em so bad

I ain’t got nothin’ to lose

 

Ridin’ around in my automobile

My baby beside me, her hands on the wheel

My engine was hot, I was ready to go

But my baby likes to take it slow

 

They knocked down my door

The cops were standin’ in line

They took me away just for havin’ a good time

Ridin’ around in my automobile

My baby beside me her hands on the wheel

My engine was hot, I was ready to go

But my baby likes to take it slow

 

I got the blues

Well I got em so bad

I ain’t got nothing to lose

No, No, nothing to lose

  


Waukesha

 

I took the train to Waukesha

Sat down at the table I bet it all

My life on the line I let it go

I'm tired of walkin' the lonely streets

 

Here in Waukesha

 

Hung from a nail I did my time

Looking for something I could not find

Caught in the storm it blew my mind

But still I'm walkin' down the lonley road

 

To Waukesha

Yeah, to Waukesha

I bet it all

 

And when the cool night air is around my head again

I see you and I know I've got a friend

And when the light in your eyes is shining like a big old ball

 

I'll be there

 

I woke last night and found a dream

Floating around my head it seemed

I pulled it down and tried it on

It fit quite nice and it seemed to say

 

Go to Waukesha

Yeah to Waukesha

I bet it all

 

San Luis Rey

 

San Luis Rey, heed my call

I hear laughter after all

Run for the mountains, run for the stream

Feed my pasture, 'till all is green

 

San Luis Rey, hold your tongue

Speak in rhythms of songs unsung

Let me listen, let me see

Let me wander beneath your trees

 

So tell me…

 

How much longer must I wait

Don't leave me stranded alone with my fate

Heal me from torture, save me from pain

Come walk with me through the wind and the rain

 

 

The Wandering Song (Reprised)
 

I was caught in a car crash, ‘bout lost my head

No good waist down, better off dead

 

I don’t know what you think, don’t really care,

Guess I’ll just keep on loosin’ my hair

You drink from the toilet, I drink from the stove

Now it’s time to say goodbye, why, I don’t really know

 

I’ve been waiting forever, seems like a year

Soldiers and loners, screaming in my ear.

 

Freedom remains stiff, one and for all

Race, size or creed don’t belong on the wall

Give me your hungry, I’ll give them a bone

Tomorrow will be the day we die, why, I really don’t know

 

What’s wrong with you man, you’ve nothing to fear

Come with me now and we’ll drink us a beer

 

Give me a second I’m on the last page

I’m living too much, it seems, these crazy days

Fly off the handle, and I’ll fly on home

Later we’ll fight and cry, why, I don’t really know.

 

Shifty Darlin’

 

When you find yourself in the street

And there ain’t nothin’ round to eat
When you can’t get no satisfaction

You go downtown just lookin’ for action

 

Come on baby let’s go downtown

I’ll take you out and show you around

When they turn the lights way down low

Kiss me baby and feel it grow

 

Shifty darlin’ why can’t you sit still

I don’t mind every move’s a thrill

Crazy baby it ain’t no lie

Without your love I’d surely die

 

Come on darlin’ put a pretty dress on

We’ll dance away till the break of dawn

Tomorrow morning I’ll surely be gone

The Misty Mountains are singing this song.
