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.
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 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.
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.

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.
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

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
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

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

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.
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.
