When I feel that feelin' inside
And I know, yeah it's for sure
I wonder should I run and hide
or try and get back to her

Well it's been oh such a long time
since I have seen that girl of mine
So now I'm gonna make it on back
Comin' on back to my baby right on time

Been runnin' around with my head in a whirl
Thinking about that just one girl
And if she says that she's still mine
I'm comin'on home to her right on time

So now I'm gonna make it on back
Comin' on back to my baby right on time

Now I know, yeah & I'm so glad
Cuz she's the best girl I ever had
Next time I leave there's a promise of mine
Comin on back to you right on time
Comin back to you..oh...etc

I saw the night time fallin'
as I heard the sunrise a callin'
Hit me down without a warning
and I got the blues this morning

You came around trying to shoot me down
for the night time
you thought it was, you said it was
the right line
hit me down without a warning
and I got the blues this morning

oh, I got the feelin' so god damn bad yeah

and I feel a cold wind blowing
It's telling me that your going
leaving here without a warning
and I got the blues this morning
and I got the blues this morning
I got the blues this morning

Saturday feelin' like Sunday
And I really haven't made my way.
A lost road
It's a blownup railroad
Got to find a new engineer today.

And it's twice as hard on my stride
When I take a day and let it ride.

Hello, how are you, how do you do
Can you help me, come jump in my shoes
You'll know the feelin' of me
Thinkin' about you
And you really haven't made your way.

And ooh, it's a lost road
A blownup railroad
Got to find a new track, lay it down,
   now delay.

Welcome be stranger
With a drivin' wheel all his own
Me, the rearranger
And I can't find home

Ol' forgiver,
You're a true life giver
When I'm cold
Warm me when I shiver

Ol' forgiver
When I'm runnin' you down
Now ain't you the clown
I'm chasing, madly embracing.

You got me laughing inside
At the happy face I'm facing
Ol' forgiver
You wear it all on the outside.

You're quiet and unspoken
And I take it as a token
That I'll be broken
Long before you will be.
Yeah, you'll se

Ol' forgiver
You bring a day that is lasting
Still it's slowly slowly drifting by
For the lucky son
Of an unknown mother.

Ol' forgiver, fill my eyes.
Ol' forgiver, come on and fill my eyes.
I see you fillin' up my eyes.
Ol' forgiver, come on and fill up,
Fill up my eyes.

In she comes a-ridin',
On a mornin' sunrise
I am left to believing
All that is standing before my eyes
And I wonder
Would the sun have shown
Ever so brightly alone

We been livin' all of our lives
On the other side of the hill
Drifting on a golden wing, and I can't wait
To hear the smile
She can sing
Take me through the day
Take my breath away

And we ride the countryside
High and wide, and she brings
Crackers, cheese and wine
Oh, they're gonna bust my side
And she's got strawberries
Comin' by the dozen
Brown sugar and sweet cream
Set my mouth a-buzzin'

Take my hand and run
Take me down to the river blue
Throw a whisper to the wind that
All you're sayin' is true
Ride the countryside
Take me high and wide

Somebody called the keeper of the fire
Holy smoke I hope he ain't no lier
I've heard tell that while we're sleeping
All is well and safely keeping
We're only seeking

Then it came a mornin' we were feelin'
Just the same
Caring less...Let it turnitself to rain
Easy summer, and we're hung out high and dry
Somebody save us from this feelin'
Feeling in oureyes

Lookin' out there was a new light burnin'
Turned about everyone there kept on turnin'
Came on through like a childhood yearnin

Early times gone to rhyme
Somebody said it was a good time
To me it was a long long time
Just a long time

Early days gone to a gaze
Somebody said we'll make it crazy
And the leader passed it on
He got lazy

Songs they got to slippin' and
Right hand man took to trippin' and
The leader passed it on
Familiar faces I seen
Similar places and I wonder
How we left some traces

Come the moon Go the sun
And I believe there's something on the run
Catching up we ran so far behind
Early days gone to rhyme

Take the water blue water
Can you see how far it is from flowin' free
Can we let it just be
Without a feelin' of bein' just a little guilty
Alright

Get your water green water wipe your eyes in it
Still isn't very clear
It wouldn't be wise to get too near
Save the cause of your own true fear
Yes I remember when it turned the bend in a natural way
It seems there was a time in my mind
When it caught the light of day
I want to see it talkin' back to the sun
I need to feel it wild and on the run

I remember when it turned the bend in a natural way
Seems there was a time in my mind
When it caught the light of day
I want to see it talkin' back to the sun
I need to feel it wild and on the run

C'mon and get your water - blue water
Can we settle for what you can give
Sure and behold you're without the need to live
And a'changin' wind may bring you back to blue again
I'm havin' a time tellin' my children when

All you cowboys and your ladies
Take your boots off, they'll drive you crazy
When you come to town take a look around
Yes, you're off of your horse, you can set your soghts on a
Stronger course

And I mean you
And everybody too
Can you come on through
Come on through

Politicians, and your writers
Trading people's dreams
You've got moon blindness
While you're reaching up for the winner's cub
Keep your feet on the ground and your ears on what is
Coming down

And I mean you
And everybody too
Can you come on through
Come on through

All you singers and your lovely songs
Try so very hard to make them all belong
Some get taken others foresaken
We keep a'movin' a right along

And how about you
And everybody too
Can you come on through
Come on through

We were setting in the harbor
With our sights out on the land
There was something someone or other
That we couldn't quite understand
About the driving wheel
Want to know how it feels
To be taking time out turn it all about
Taking hold the drivin'

Thre were miles of time drowned
In the wine
We were talkin' 'bout better days
It was years ago when we pelt the goal
Was anchored to the changing ways

There ain't nothin' here only the fear of
What is right and what is real
Satisfaction smile come on board
For a while
We're taking hold of the drivin' wheel

We were set in the harbor
Had our sights on the land
All the men at the wheel moving on
With the plan
We were reaching tohether for
The same end
Sunshiny weather comin' 'round
The bend

Taking the dream how we ran
In the rage of another plan
Heading for the mountain wall
Where it all began to fall
When we heard the wind call

Take your homes in the sun
There ain't no need to run
You've been here you've been there
You've been everywhere
And the time has come to really care

Through our families we had eyes to see
What could really be
We were making plans in the
Promise land
Far away from the shining sea

For some it wasn't easy
Living in an old dream
There's so many rocks in the stream
Do you know what I mean

We are living in a time that is ours
To share
Catch up don't you stray too far behind
For the time has come for us
To really care
Would you trade me your dream
For mine

Taking the dream how we ran
In the rage of another plan
Heading for the mountain wall
Where it all began to fall
When we heard the wind call

Pleasure seeker new love reaper
I've heard tell you're quite
A nighttime keeper
Will you ever find the sun
Maybe never in a ten-day run

Painted faces forgotten bootlaces
Ain't it all the same in the
Brand-new places
So we dance between the lights
Taking a chance to make it right -
Make it right

Na na na na na na -- oh oh oh

She's an angel and she loves to
Spread her wings
I'm a stranger here but I love
the song she sings
Heaven knows that I can feel you
And all the ways that you
Come on through
My lady blue

Na na na...

You've got your reasons
Like the seasons they change
Talking of pleasure
While enjoying the pain


And though it keeps you in the light
And all the words are said just right
There's still a cry in the night

Up on the mountain
Through the snow-covered hills
Taken for granted
You can get all your fill

And if I seem to look away
And turn the pages of the play
There are these things I have to say

I'm a springtime boy and I look
For the joy
Of a world in bloom could it come
Never too soon
And while the world is turning
And the sun is burning
Do you think in my yearning that
The journey is through
I can't leave it up to you

And though it keeps you in the light
And all the words are said just right
There's still a cry in the night

Susannah there was peace between
our fathers
How we ceased lo be a bother
We would run together in the morning light
And separate until the cool of night
oh my Susannah

We can throw our dreams together
Though my other wing of feather
How can you stop the lightening,
In the sky and as the rains run red
One of the reasons why, oh my Susannah

It ain't safe to stay here any more
Got to load the wagon and head up north.
And rearrange their reasons in our minds
Keeping safe a way in the present times.
Keeping safe a way in the present times.

Susannah there was peace between
Our fathers
How we ceased to be a bother
We could run together in the morning light
And separate until the cool of night
Oh my Susannah, for me there ain't no other
I swear, I swear there ain't no other.
That won't stop the lightening in the sky
And as the rains run red,
One of the reasons why . . Oh yeah you're
the light in the southern Sky, Susannah

There he goes he's a trader, moving
On through the virgin land.
Got the word from the government that it's
Too late for a lowly man, to make a Stand.
His reasons read like a prophecy.
He made them up as he went along
Those who saw it as a falacy are
Remembered as only dead and gone.
And now we all know who was right.
And the time showed who was wrong.
We saw them wield all their might.
I guess they knew that it wouldn't be long.
I guess they knew that it wouldn't be long.
He's come to change all the wilderness
Change the course of the rivers too.
He's not about ta stop for any rest
But somebody, please say we're through
Here we go again and again
Save your woman, save the land
Save the children, they are the future hands
In the promised land
They're the future hands in the promised land
They're the future hands in the promised land.

And now they're left without a home
Somebody left them in the cold

Though its true I'm living with
A travelling heart,
And it was yours you knew from the very start
And I have come to know your eyes
When they're hiding
Lost in the time that slowly cries,
Come on riding
And 8 to 5 living, it ain't a lot less than alive
Knowing there's a dream calling out of
Your window
And don't we really know when time
is moving slow
And we all go on to nowhere

And every hour to work you say , just wishing
Where have I gone today . well I've
Gone fishing
With the sun in my eyes ond burning up
The skies and the river just watches me run.

Well its true I'm living with a
travelling heart,
But it was yours you knew from the very start
And I have come to know your eyes
When they're hiding
Lost in the time that slowly cries,
"Come on riding" yeah yeah

And all the stories you can read in the city
Look real hard between the lines, do you
See me?
Well the heart in my hand is slowing me
Down again
And the river just a watches me run.
Well the heart in my hands seems to slow
Me down again
And the river just watches me run. Aha.

Did you hear that telephone ring?
You'd better get ready and pack your things
It's time to be going out again
Kiss the ladies goodbye, wipe the tears
From their pretty eyes.
You'll be back sometime, but you don't
Know when
Moving on and on through the country
Moving on and on in the towns
Things are getting better in the towns for
You and me.
I wanna make it last another time around.

About an hour down the rood
Remember how good it was to go
Chalk it up to the best of all times
And all those hours on the plane,
A million miles on your brain.
No cause to wonder if it's still a good time
Moving on and on through the country
Moving on and on in the towns,
Things ore getting better in the towns for
You and me.
I wanna make it last another time around.

You hear the telephone ring
You'd better get ready and pack your things
Oh it's time to be going out again.
Kiss the ladies goodbye, wipe the tears
From their pretty eyes
You'll be back sometime but you don't
know when
Moving on and on through the country
Moving on and on in the towns
Things are getting better in the towns for
You and me
I wanna make it last another time around
I wanna make it last another time around

I don't know you but I can feel you
In all the ways you get through these days
Bluer than blue
You're throwin' your dreams up
they all come fallin' down
Then you turn away It's another day
And it seems you're earthly bound

There is doubt in your eyes in ehat you say
And what you want to do
I want to be a surprise can you see it
In my eyes, oh
Let me turn back to you

Out in the light of the dark
There is always left a spark
And would it be all right
Can I see you tonight?
Oh let me turn back to you

I never questioned a smile
Only lasting for a while
Someone must play the fool
If there's a fire in your heart
Then it's time for us to start
Let me turn back to you

Out in the light of the dark
There is always left a spark
And would it be all right
Can I see you tonight?
Oh let me turn back to you
Let me turn back to you
Oh let me turn back to you
Let me turn back to you.

Down in the quarterpast anybody's bedtime
Anybody anywhere who was halfway out his mind
I was sittin' in a Rock and roll bar
Down from another
Just on up the line
I was talkin' with a new found friend
Who lived his life
On river time

He was holdin' my attention I could
Almost hear the sound
How he ran on the Mississippi on a tug
From the up and down
He was rollin' like the river he could have
Gone on night and day
But I caught myself in midturn and I
Never looked away and

Could it ever happen again
Time awaiting the answer then
Lost and found in the city, New Orleans

Questions in her dark eyes I felt
She already knew
The answers bringing no surprise
Like a Spanish moon
She was grown up on the music
I could only hear at home
When she spoke on of the song I sang
And how it made her feel
So much less alone
Pickin' out the pictures that the tune
Brought in to mind
How it came to me that all along the song was
Her for all time

Could it ever happen again
Time awaiting the answer then
Down in the quarter, New Orleans
Down in the quarter, New Orleans
Down in the quarter, New Orleans
Down in the quarter, New Orleans

I been thinkin' 'bout a place
Like a dream that tries to show
Can you see it in my face
That it's time again to go

When I hear her callin' me
From a one way track
Then I got to go and see
What it is that brings me back

Oh, Georgia, I'm just a stray
Won't you shine on my way
I can see it ther in your diamond eyes
When you hold me where your beauty lies
Oh, Georgia , please, I'm down to my knees
Won't you bind my ties
Won't you bind my ties

Everybody's gone away
They're all leaving town
And I'm movin' on to say
I'm through kickin' my heart around
Yes, it's all over now
Crazy things in my head
Have to stay together somehow
For I've got the dream again

Oh, Georgia, I'm just a stray
Won't you shine on my way
I can see it ther in your diamond eyes
When you hold me where your beauty lies
Oh, Georgia , please, I'm down to my knees
Won't you bind my ties
Won't you bind my ties

As the moon goes fading
He lies awake waiting
For a break in the night
When he makes he's lonely flight
And it's the same old story
Somebody bound for glory
And somewhere in my life
I swear it had to belong

I've been countin' the stars
As they come on through the bars
And I've been heard singin'
A sad man's song
It's time for busting
Out of this jail
And get me a gun
No time for bail
And I've been here too many nights too long

And now I wonder if
They'll find me tonight
I've been sleepin' in the day
Runnin' below the pale moonlight

Hidin' in a canebrake
From a man I can't seem to shake
And in my head
I'm hearing a southern song
Mississippi,
Roll on in my brain
And keep me sheltered
In the summer rain
I could never stay here too many nights too long

And now I wonder if
They'll find me tonight
I've been sleepin' in the day
Runnin' below the pale moonlight

Escondido en un canaveral
De un hombre que no puedo ver
Y el hombre, escondido
De donde sera
Mississippi,
Roll on in my brain
And keep me sheltered
In the summer rain
I could never stay here too many nights too long
I could never stay here too many nights too long

If you see me fallin'
By the wayside callin'
Pick me up and let me start again
This old road has a way
Of takin' me down a little each day
And I can't see my way around the bend

All the things I like to take
Cost so much more than I make
And it's hard keepin' even either way
And so I'm headed for the bar
Or another round of cards
And like the game we play it as they lay

And we're all alone together
On a road that seems forever
To be takin' you from yours and me from mine
And though we know just where we're goin'
There are changes that ain't showin'
Night and day become the same fine line

Night and day become the same fine

My woman dances like a southern leel
She's out to take a chance to show me how it feels
But I can't sit here in this chair anymore
She's about to take my hand and drag me on the floor

There's a full moon in the sky
It's got a hold on me, I'm hyptotized
Like your love it's getting stronger
Please keep my heart a little longer

Indian Summer is on it's way
Cool at night - and hot all day
Ain't no black clouds filled with rain
Santa Ana wind blew them all to Maine

Baby takes my hand
She says she understands
About the way I feel
She knows this love is real

I'm a wide open space cowboy
I got lazy ways I got some hidden joy
Motorcycle and tons of RPM
Ain't gonna wait around till it's here again

Baby takes my hand...

Indian Summer is on it's way

Well I've thought about the things I need
And I'm willing just to let them be
There is nothing that I'd want anyway
That could take the place of you
And all the things you do and say

We've come so very far in such a little time
And looking back there is only you that I find
Who was willing to give and maybe lose
You've got me tying up my walking shoes
These walking shoes

Twenty years on the run
I've only known a setting sun
Burning out on a lonely road
I've come to feel a lighter load

And now it's time we can turn the page
I believe you and I have come of age
All along it was there to see
What was really meant to be

It's a game the only one in town
It's a game all the changes going round
It's taken twenty years to get it on the way
And all I had to do was play

I've seen you falling behind your dreams
And pictures changing without the scenes
Broken stories and borrowed lines
Ain't it hard these days
To get on your way
Well, it's still what you do
And it's not so much in what you say

And there are people who ride a train
Into the city and back again
Only to get up in the same old frame
Could you reckon with them blues
In a world that's win or lose
Any fool could see
It goes on just the same

So many people inside the past
Talkin' 'bout these days they're movin' too fast
And the future it will not last
Everybody has a dream
Take the one you can live between
'Cause you're the only one that's left to choose
What you want to win or lose

Everybody has a dream

In the beginning
Not so long ago
There were five country rockers
I saw the very first show
And I jumped up with the crowd
To give a standing hand
Livin', livin' in the band

There were two from Colorado
Texas and Nebraska too
Another came from Ohio
And they did not sing the blues
You had the feeling
They had nothing to lose
Livin', livin' in the band

Through the years and the changes
And with the will of a train
Some have parted strangers
Some have stayed in the game
And sooner or later you've got a winning hand
Livin', livin' in the band

Through the years and the changes...

I gave my heart away
It came back like a boomerang
Busted up and split in two
By a woman on the loose

Don't know how much I can take
I can't stand another break
I'm not up to getting used
In a game of win or lose

Excuse me
But I think I got the blues
She tried ho use me
Now She's onto someone new
Boomerang

It's essential that I must
Find somebody I can trust
If I'm puttin' in the time
I need it somewhere near the line
That we can draw if it gets too weak
And one of us wants to leave
From a broken love affair
It's time to clear the air

Excuse me
l've been a fool ina world of two
She's tried to use me
Now she's on to someone new

There's a wind that blows
On the southern sea
And it whirls around
Deep inside of me
Always bringing me up
Never letting me down
I had a dream I was on my way
To Bridgetown

I've seen ships that sail
Each and every day
And when they start up their engines
They steal my heart away

Barbados
I'm another one born to run
Barbados
I need another sweet taste of rum
I been sailing on this raging sea
The higher the venture
The better I'll be
Barbados

In the heart of the night
In the cool southern rain
There's a full moon in sight
Shining down on the Pontchartrain

And the river she rises
Like she used to do
She's so full of surprises
She reminds me of you
In the heart of the night

There's a nightbird singing
Right on through till the dawn
And the streets are still ringing
With people carrying on

It's been so long waiting
Just to be here again
Anticipating
All the time I could spend
In the heart of the night down in New Orleans
In the heart of the night down in New Orleans

And I trust in your love never falling down
And I trust in your love
Just like I do in this town never falling down

And I'm so glad to be back in New Orleans
Please don't wake me, don't shake me,
If this is only just a dream
It's the only place I can face that feels so right
Below that Dixie moon and loving you
In the Heart of the Night

Now and then you see me falling, way behind the things I need to do
Don't you believe I've missed my calling, I'm just the one to play your fool

Chorus:
Under the gun, under the gun, I'm down and crawlin' like I've never done
Under the gun, under the gun, standing in my own way and nowhere to run

Waited so long it felt like a lifetime and looking up just seemed so far away
Between these walls I live on the bottom line
It's just enough to get me through the day

(chorus)

(Solo)

Now and then you see me falling, way behind the things I need to do
Don't you believe I've missed my calling, I'm just the one to play your fool

(chorus repeats 2x)

Have you heard about the ones who can't get to sleep at night
Walking through their shoes in the neon light
There's a strain in their faces from the wind and the sand
Of the far away places where they had to make a stand

On their way down, on their way down, on their way down, down to the wire

They were talking in the news, of a run about to be made
It would come when they cut it loose, from the plan they lay
On some future night, when the talk is low
They agree it's right and Lord it's time to go

On their way down, on their way down, on their way down, down to the wire

(Solo)

Deep in the still of night (on their way down)
They'll be movin' across the line (on their way down)
On their way down, down to the wire

On their way down (deep in the still of night)
On their way down (they'll be movin' across the line)
On their way down, down to the wire

Chorus:
Standing in the midnight rain, all alone with the pieces of my heart again
Knowing one of us is right, and one of us is gone into another night
You've gone running all alone, running all alone

Into another night, you've gone running all alone

I've still got these feelings left, living in my heart and in my head
Breaking from the past, I've come to know at last
Only a fool would stay, stay and pretend, until the very end
Only a fool would stay, to the very end

I need you more than anyone or anything under the sun
Don't leave me lonely here, I get so lonely here

(chorus)

(Solo)

I need you more than anyone or anything under the sun
Don't leave me lonely here, I get so lonely here

(chorus)

Into another night, you've gone running all alone

Standing in the midnight rain  (repeats out)

Friends in the distance, some kind of strangers up close
Lovers of the last dance, we watch that flame burning low
Who's the winner or the loser, it's too dark for me to see
Only friends in the distance, strangers in danger, you and me

 Chorus:
You wanna talk about it, I wanna walk around it, I walk the night alone
There's nothing right about it, you're running right around it
Wait out the night alone

Friends in the distance, some kind of strangers up close
Lovers of the last dance, we watch the flame burning low

(Solo)

(chorus)

Friends in the distance, some kind of strangers up close
Lovers of the last dance, we watch that flame burning low
Tell me who's the winner or the loser, it's too dark for me to see
Only friends in the distance, strangers in danger, you and me
Only friends in the distance, strangers in danger, you and me, you and me

(Friends in the distance, friends in the distance)

From a backwater town in Ohio, all the way down to New Orleans
Hiding deep in the bayou, waiting on a Northbound river queen

For too many years now, I've been the devil's own
In a midnight rage, I take the streets alone

 Chorus:
Living in the shadows, hiding in the shadows of night
Wounded in the shadows, down on the streets,
down on the streets
Down on the streets of paradise

Walking around there was a wound in my head
For many long days I was left there for dead
So many miles from the borderline
Only half a man down on the streets tonight

Living in the shadows (hiding in the shadows of night)
Hiding in the shadows of night (wounded in the shadows)
Wounded in the shadows (lying in the shadows)
Down on the streets, down on the streets,
down on the streets of paradise
  (repeats 2x)

I gotta get down on the river again
She's a true life giver, she's my only friend
When I'm hidin' out, I need a way to ride on out
From all that gunfire up on the land
Too much for one man to make a stand

I gotta get down on the river again, I'm a running man
Runnin' through the night, runnin' for my life
Seems it's worth a lot, to a man who's not forgot who I am
I gotta get down on the river again, I'm a running man

I been cheated by a dealer, blackhearted man of a soul stealer
Kept me down in the game, until a voice called my name
I was holding my own on the losing end
Here comes the lady, she's a winning hand

I gotta get down on the river again, I'm a running man
Ride that dark lady down, roll on easy to another town
She's got wild and wistful ways, I'll take her any night or day
I gotta get down on the river again, I'm a running man

Just down the road, some sixty miles away
There's smoke in the sky, she's going down in flames

 Chorus:
Please wait for me, please wait for me
Time will fly like a cannonball, my darlin' you will see

Take all of my love and let it keep you warm
I shall return when we settle the score

(chorus)

Please wait for me

Oh I've waited so long, time has yet to prove who was right,
who was wrong
I have to justify all of my fears, down a broken road of tears
I love you, remember I need you, please wait for me

(Solo)

Just down the road, some sixty miles away
There's smoke in the sky, oh, she's going down in flames

(chorus)

Please, please wait for me, please wait for me
I'm goin' down the on stair, oh, but a heart with my head low
Please wait for me, my darlin' wait for me, please...
(to fade)

Chorus:
Sometimes we are all we got, this time I have not forgot
Even a blind man can see, that it could be you,
it might be me
And sometimes we are all we got

It was a long hot summer run,
back in the middle of sixty-four
Down by a clearing just out of the sun,
I swore I had been there before
When a shot rang out and suddenly I was face to face
with the enemy

Sometimes we are all we got, this time I have not forgot

A boy of eighteen and Southern bred,
his troops had left him there for dead
Laying up against a big oak tree,
it had all come down to either him or me
Just one of those times, two lives on the line
Is this the last thing I'll ever see?

(chorus)

This time I have not forgot, this time I have not forgot

There goes my heart
I feel it breakin' fast
Should've known from the start
That it could not last
When you build on dreams 
And other things
That love won't bring
There goes my heart

Breaking me down again
It happens every time
Wonderin' will it ever end
I'm going out of my mind
Worried & wasted now
Will we ever get back somehow
Here in this lost and found
There goes my heart

Buildin' on dreams 
And other things
That love won't bring
There goes my heart

Breaking me down again
It happens every time
Wonderin' will it ever end
I'm going out of my mind
Worried & wasted now
Will we ever get back somehow
Here in this lost and found
There goes my heart
There goes my heart

How will you feel tonight
When you're all alone
And you still think you're right
How will you feel tonight

Always running
You never walk
Do you ever listen
Or do you just talk

Afraid to take a chance
You'll always lose
You only like to dance
In the same old shoes

How will you feel tonight
When you're all alone
And you still think you're right
How will you feel tonight

Desperation
We've all had our share
A different situation
When there's nobody there

You ride in a wind of uncertainty
Filled with only vacant dreams
From another time another place
If you could see the lookon your face
Whish you could be in my place

How will you feel tonight
How will you feel tonight

Wasn't that me
In the lead tonight
Still a little behind
But I'll be alright

Ridin' down hard
Who do you think you are
In the lead tonight

I'm livin' with the hurt
I wrecked a thirty dollar shirt
It's the rule of the west
When you ride with the best
You can live with the hurt

I ride everything
They put under me
Ride real good
In bad company
Don't feel no pain
For I will regain the lead tonight

I'm livin' with the hurt
I wrecked a thirty dollar shirt
It's the rule of the west
When you ride with the best
You can live with the hurt

It's been one for the cowboys
And three for the bulls
Anyway I see it
I got my hands full
Don't feel the pain
Just a step away from the lead tonight

Break of hearts
Drifting to far apart
To be heard
Empty words
Making up too late from a losing start

Break of hearts
Waiting on a loosing game
Fleeting thing
Beautiful thing
There's nothing here worth saving
Too many pieces now all breaking

We were two crazy fools
Running out of things to do
Betting on distant dreams
Getting only empty things

Giving up
   We were both beyond trying
I've had enough
   There's something here that's dying

Break of hearts
Drifting too long too far apart
To be heard
Empty words
There's nothing here worth saving
Too many pieces now all breaking

Ten wheels rolling through a lonely night
I know what I'm feeling
And it's not quite right
Look out the window could be anywhere
I miss that thing that only we could share

Special care
The kind you can't get
Just anywhere
Special care

Oh my heart is surley breaking now
Sixteen days before I'm back in town
I'm caught between a rock and a hard place
I'd give anything just to see your face

Bringing me that special care
The kind I can't get just anywhere
Bring to me that special care

Ten thousand miles through some
   Lonely days
It's enough to change some of these
   Gypsy ways
When you're caught between somewhere
   and another place
I'd give anything just to see your face

Bring me that special care
The kind I can't get just anywhere
Bringing me special care

Instrumental

I've seen a picture from the Days Gone By
Lookin'  worn and withered, I heard a lonely cry
Of what could have been
And what wasn't quite
Now I'm swearin' to the wind
We were doin' it right

Here in the night so far away from it all
Out of my sight, how far down did we fall
From grace created
Oh how we related
In the picture from the days
The Days Gone By

You were letting your friends get in the upper hand
I had to turn the other way
You could not understand
And now we're out on our own
You have to wonder what lasts
When all that's left to recognize
Is a scene from the past

Here in the night so far away from it all
Out of my sight, how far down did we fall
How far down did we fall
How far down did we fall
(In the Days Gone By)

You got me turnin' to the left
You got me twisted to the right
Woman all I'm askin' is
Is anything all right?
You got me waiting in the day
I'm waiting long into the night
Baby don't you hear me say
Hey, is anything all right
With the ball in your court
You gotta cut me short
When there's nothin' left to lose
Ain't I the one you use?
I'm going down to the very last inning
I'm getting out, it was a tough beginning
No time to take maybe one last shot
Too late to find my blood running hot

From a whisper to a shout
Ain't I the Odd Man Out
From a whisper to a shout
And I'm the Odd Man Out

We were together livin' separately
Like a VCR without a TV screen
One more day, one more bad habit
Three words to say, that's all: "I've had it"

From a whisper to a shout
Ain't I the Odd Man Out
From a whisper to a shout
And I'm the Odd Man Out

From a whisper to a shout
Ain't I the Odd Man Out
From a whisper to a shout
And I'm the Odd Man Out

How Many Moons
How Many Moons
Has it been since I've seen your face
Seems like forever
Seems like I'll never
Ever get back to that place
Where it all began and the time just ran on through
How Many Moons must there be before I see you?

How many days
How many ways
Have I imagined I've heard your voice
Seems like a dream
I'm caught in between
And for me there is no other choice
But to get in the wind once more time again
But to get in the wind once more time again
I'm not livin' too well like this
How Many Moons must I be away from your kiss

She brings the spirit how I can hear it
The spirit of romance
Something to believe in I want to give in
With every golden chance

How many times
So fresh in my mind
I see my hands run all over you
Beautiful dream
I'm caught in between
Guess I'll never be through
Wishin' on the moon
I'm wishin' on the moon

Well, she don't change horses in midstream
She got but one heart and one dream
She had a feelin' I was runnin' scared
In the face of trouble we took a dare
To be one, to be two
Way below this burnin' sun
I swear there isn't anyone but you

Don't have to tell nobody just how we feel
They can take one look and they know it's real
Straight out of heaven through the confusion
Comes an eleven, she brings the truth to me
To be one, to be two
Way below this burnin' sun
I swear there isn't anyone but you

I was driftin' in my mind
Thought I was goin' blind
She saved my life in time
Ain't gonna be nobody's fool

Just when I thought it would not blow over
Straight out of nowhere comes a lover
Bringin' the things I'd never heard of
And all the dreams I could not be sure of
To be one, to be two
Way below this burnin' sun
I swear there isn't anyone but you

Well I'm Standing In The Fire again
Everybody knows I'm a workin' man
In some ways it's either sink or swim
These days I don't mind givin' in
You get but one chance to go 'round
And make the most of what I found
I'm Standing In The Fire again
Everybody knows I'm a workin' man

I've been out of work for such a long long time
Every day down in the factory line
Gettin' on some kind, any kind of good news
Only knowin' there's nothin' left to lose
You get but one chance to go round
And make the most of what I found
I get to work on time every single day
Till the robot takes my job away

You never get out of this worried life 
I do what I can while I'm markin' time
I've got to walk away I'm on sacred ground
Long long way from this factory sound

I'm Standing In The Fire again
Everybody knows I'm a workin' man
In some ways it's either sink or swim
These days I don't mind givin' in
I'm Standing In The Fire again
I'm Standing In The Fire again

There was a time in my life when I was with you
And everything was going right
But we got caught in the change and everyday
It would rain right on through the night
But it was never enough to put out this
Fire in my heart
Am I asking too much to want to stay in touch
With the dreams that took us this far

And I walk the river until it all runs dry
Lookin' for the answers
That live between you and I
If you're the last thing I have left to lose
Here in my life
I will walk this river till it all runs dry

I'm livin' with pictures of you I carry so close to me
Captured in time I remember so well how it used to be
And you can catch me here running
With the dream in my hand
Knowing that some day in some way
We'll be together again

And I walk the river until it all runs dry
Lookin' for the answers
That live between you and I
If you're the last thing I have left to lose
Here in my life
I will walk this river till it all runs dry

I follow it upstream, I follow it down
Out to the country and deep into town
And all these things that used to satisfy
Leave me lonely here with only tears in my eyes

Here in paradise another pefect day weatherwise
Middle of the summer ain't nothin' like the sun
Chase the rain away and keep it on the run
But down on the bay we'll go seperately
And here in paradise it's starting to get to me

Everybody's bustin' their tails
They do what they can to keep the wind in their sails
And if that ain't enough
There's just a few who seem to rise above
All the rest getting used till they're over and out
Everyone on the loose they've forgotten the reasons no doubt
That here in paradise the world is barely goin' round
And if seeing is believing it's time I was lookin' for solid ground

I've had a parrot on my shoulder
A monkey on my back
Trading one for the other
I'm caught between the tracks
Of a distant dream that won't materialize
Oh it's not all that it seems
Here in paraidise it's easy to lose your way
Night after night day after day
And if I stay too long here
It's still the same old song I fear
Just a toss of the dice here in paradise
It's still a toss of the dice
Here in paradise

I watch the days go slippin' into the night
Down a one way street with no left or right
Shattered dreams runnin' round my head
Over and over I turn from everything she said

I'm takin' one long last look
Deep in this heart of mine
I'm takin' one long last look
On this side of goodbye
When there's nothing left to say
I get my wheeels on the highway

A thousand nights that never saw the day
How I'd hang on every word she'd say
It's a heavy load but I got no choice
I can't take it forever haunted by her voice

I'm takin' one long last look
Deep in this heart of mine
I'm takin' one long last look
On this side of goodbye
When there's nothing left to say
I get my wheeels on the highway

Out int the streets
Everywhere I'd go
Everyone I'd meet they all seemed to know
I was half a man
Keepin' her around
I've got my mind made up
I'm about to leave this town

But I'm takin' one long last
Look deep in this heart of mine
I'm takin' one long last look
On this side of goodbye
When there's nothing left to say
I get my wheeels on the highway

After all these years
After all this time
I'm still holding you here
Deep in this heart of mine
More than a memory
You mean everything in the world to me
Through the sun and the rain
Here in my life you remain
After all these years

Through my hard times and trouble
You would come running on the double
Standing by my side
Bringing tears of joy to my eyes
After all these years
After all this time
Through the pain and the tears
We hold a flame that never die
After all these years

I heard it said we could never get back
That we had fallen off the track
But time would priove that we knew better
We could work it out and bring it all together
After all these years

After all these years
After all this time
Every hour of every day
You're always here on my mind
More than a memory
You mean everything in the world to me
Through the sun and the rain
Here in my life you remain
After all these years

Woman it's rainin' deep in my heart
One more time again my tears are fallin' hard
And I keep on tryin'
There's really no escape
From a heart that is dyin'
From one too many breaks

And woman it's rainin'
It won't stop comin' down
I can't find me a shelter
There's nowhere to run for higher ground

Woman it's rainin' deep in my heart
One more time again oh my tears are fallin' hard
And I feel less that zero through the dark of the night
Ton of rain on the rooftops, there's no relief in sight
And mind over matter won't free me this time

Not until you hold me
Not until you've told me
Not until you swear you say you're mine this time

Woman it's rainin' deep in my heart
One more time again
Oh my tears are fallin' hard

I remember the night I met you
I knew right then I would never forget you
When you came to me
From across a crowded room

All I needed came wrapped around your heart
In a matter of minutes the flame began to start
Not a moment too soon
From across a crowded room

And I said to myself
This is the one that I've been needing
There's nobody else
Who could stop this breaking heart from bleeding...
Oh no...

There was no way I could let you run
Through the night without me to some other one
I had everything to lose till you came to me
From across a crowded room

And I knew I couldn't find it in my heart
To let that night go unanswered
Bring to me the love I need
From across a crowded room
From across a crowded room

Back in my mind to the Southern Sea
To find the answers that became a part of me
On the hot white sands that hold back every wave
They remind me of the very love you gave
Beneath the tall palm trees blowing gently in the breeze
Close enough to high water, rollin' on in your dreams

Take my hand, we've got to run
Before we lose the setting sun
There's a place I know just above the cove
When the day is done
It's close enough to high water rollin' on in your dreams
Close enough to high water down to the Southern Sea

I need the wind back in my sails
I'm like a fish on dry land and I don't tell no tales
There's only one place I need to be
Back to the southern sea

Take my hand, we've got to run
Before we lose the setting sun
There's a place I know just above the cove
When the day is done
It's close enough to high water
Rollin' on in your dreams
Close enough to high water down to the Southern Sea
Close enough to high water rollin' on in your dreams

She's standin' there by the side of the night
And she feels the cold wind blow all over me
She tells me two makes one
Like the dawn from dark makin' light
Love steals in and cries out in the night
She's a woman with a broken heart
Her word is falling down and all apart
Standing all alone she waits for me
A woman with a broken herat
I leave her as the morning begins to rise
And I wonder where she goes
And where she hides when I'm gone
She tells me that it hurts
To hold another in her arms
But Love steals in and cries out in the night
She's a woman with a broken heart
Her world is falling down and all apart
Standing all alone she waits for me
It's a loneliness and she just can't break away
She knows it hurts you
But there is no other way
And only time will tell
If this love will work out well
She's a woman with a broken heart
Her world is falling down and all apart
Standing all alone she waits for me

In the last five days of the year
I was draggin' the lake for the moon
My hands were hot what they touched was not
Dying roses in a living room
And there's nothing like a tear to fall
To wash me clean of this town
How far will I have to crawl
Bent like a willow to the ground
Count me as one of the fallen angels
Every day I lose a little more grace
These streets have turned me to a total stranger
All I was lookin' for is gone from this place
And I know there's a river
That will take us to the sea
Where all that matters comes alive again
And I will find you and bring you there with me
How I remember every corner stone
On this 'ol street
Everyone who worked there
Every cop on the beat
How I ran every red light
Just to get home on time
Now a river of headlights
In an endless long line
Sending a message to those still around
Going through the changes
We're all strangers here
And I know there's a river
That will take us to the sea
Where all that matters comes alive again
And I will find you and bring you there with me

Many days upon this ancient highway
Shot like an arrow to the sun
Many miles from the Devil's playground
It is here that I had to come
Where the only sound is the night wind blowing
And the beating of the drum in my heart
And it serves to remind me
It's time for remembering
Where the past is present
Clearly as this desert
Was once the bottom of the sea
There were bridges underwater
Down in front and far behind
And here it doesn't really matter
In the mountains of the blood red sky
In this place that was before there was
Such a thing as time
And it serves to remind me
It's time for remembering
This is where I've come to fly with you Firebird
And when I close my eyes you show me
Everytime without fail
I will follow the way of my brothers
On the spirit trail
Here I hang on every word
That comes to me through you so clearly heard
And from deep inside I remember
All the meaningful things
This where I hear you sing Firebird
I want to fly with you Firebird
I'm gonna fly with you Firebird

It was the top of the world
Just holdin' that girl
Every Saturday night
Our love would take flight
But every small town boy knows
There comes a time
When one or both of you go
And when I held her today
This is all I could say
Out of sight is not out of mind
The love that you give
Is the love that you find
Cause what we have
Is so hard to find
Out of sight is not out of mind
I know you didn't believe
That love is enough
To keep two hearts together
Through the good times and the tough
I'm here to tell you that I'm strong
I'll still be waiting until the world is gone
Then when you went away
There was nothing to say
I still could see your sweet smile
Though you were gone all the while
And after years of lonely nights
You came back here to see if I was right
The moment you took my hand
It made us both understand

Walkin' down mainstreet
My heart follows where it's been before
I met you here a year ago
Cold beer and soft talk
We couldn't get enough
We were there till the lights
Went out at two
There's not been a lonely night since I met you
A time that I wouldn't let you
Do what you do
I can't believe that you're here beside me
After all this time you still want me
Like I'm wanting you
Do what you do
Out on the boulevard
Hand and hand at a table
Left for two
Sun goes down on the night
That leads me to you
On the beach by a firelight
Makin' love in the moonlight
There's not a thing in this world
That could keep me from you
There's not been a lonely night since I met you
A time that I wouldn't let you
Do what you do
I can't believe that you're here beside me
After all this time you still want me
Like I'm wanting you
Do what you do

I'm runnin' through Miami
Got my guitar in my hand
My ticket in the other one
Two more hours until we land
I've heard about a place
From a friend who knows it well
Between God and the Devil
In the land of the sun
There's sure to be a story here to tell
Hey companero!
Let's drop the top on the Bondmobile
It's nine am eighty degrees
We got nothin' but time to steal
Run on down to Spanish water
Take a cruise at Barbara Beach
Blue water sailors some cappuccino's
Island girls all just out of reach
Oh don't stop the carnival
No way no how
Oh don't stop the carnival
Down here in Curacao
On the road to that big stone church
Coming up out of nowhere
Steeple reaching to the endless sun
I'm not losing my religion here
Record a session out at San Juan Beach
We'll take the cool Montero
Mini cam and mini disk
Under that big sombrero
Oh don't stop the carnival
No way no how
Oh don't stop the carnival
Down here in Curacao

Instrumental

A young boy wonders
If love is the only way to go
Is it the ticket that opens
The door to life's picture show
And then an older boy wonders
If money would save his soul
He feels so alone that's why
This is what he needs to know
Let the wind blow
Let it's voice whisper all you need to know
If you listen it will show the way to go
Let the wind blow
I drive for days and I never see the ground
Pavement and glass have
Turned this world around
In our hearts we all know
This is not what life should be
But you won't find the path
'Til you know it isn't there to see
Let the wind blow
Let it's voice whisper all you need to know
If you listen it will show the way to go
Let the wind blow
Before the white man sailed unto this land
Long before our Godly ways
Pushed us to Custer's Stand
There were wise men who loved the land
Who foresaw the Trail of Tears
Cause they knew we were comming
For a thousand years
Let the wind blow
Let it's voice whisper all you need to know
If you listen it will show the way to go
Let the wind blow

There's a picture of a horse that's running
Hanging here right before my eyes
Always there to remind of the best of old times
With his eyes on fire, running like the wind
He's going to take me down forgotten trails again

And who knows where it's going?
Baby it's all going to show
I'm betting on a horse that's running
Same as before
Running like the wind

He's never been one to follow
He would set his own pace
Ain't nothing that he would allow
To take it all away
When the sun sets into the sea
You can find me on the horse that's running
That's where I'll be

And who knows where it's going
Baby it's all going to show
My money's on a horse that's running
Same as before

I can see him running
Running like the wind
With his eyes on fire
Running like the wind
He's gonna take me down forgotten tails again

We've Taken this road a thousand times
Rollin' away past the county line
To a place there waiting for the better every time

All the promises made and the ones that were kept
Bind in this distance that won't let us forget
How far we've come from every turn
The bridges behind us the lissons we learned

No more lonely sundowns
No more days of dirty rain
No more nights of crying out loud
Wishing it was some other way
Just a matter of a little more time
If you listen there's a signal in the night

Every time I hear that train
Running throught my heart like a hurricane
And all the questions that still remain
Seem to find their answers here
Every Time I hear that train

Red tile stretches the mountains to the bay
Better hang on baby, it'll take your breath away
We know we belong here someday we're gonna stay
It'll take all I got to leave it all today

And the place where you loved me
there on the sand
on a hot night in August
Where it all began
Just a matter of a little more time
If you listen there's a signal in the night

How could I have known
There wasn't a clue
That somewhere in this crazy world
It would lead me here to you

And I had the baggage 
Enough to bring it all down
With no one to turn to
That was then and this is now
When you came
With the heart and the soul
Giving all that you could give
Taking me from out of the cold
Where I was standing in my own way

I can only imagine 
The way I could have been denied
Slipping in the light fantastic
Just living a lie

God and the angels
Surely had a plan
And somehow through the years
One day I'd understand
That there's one for everyone
Now I believe that's true
You're the heart and the soul
That takes me to you
