If you're feeling low, no
And your world comes tumbling down
If you see hard times, stop
Better take a look around

Good things must end
They never last
Look to tomorrow
Forget the past

New York City was so damned cold
I had to get out of that town before I got old
California and rock and roll dream
Got too high and we blew our whole scene
But we had a good time

 

Old times, good times
Old times, good times

In the days of my youth
I was told what it means to be a man
Now I've reached that age
I've tried to do all those things the best I can
No matter how I try
I find my way to the same old jam

 

Good times, bad times
You know I've had my share
When my woman left home
For a brown-eyed man
Well, I still don't seem to care

Stay the same, don't ever change, 'cause I'd miss your ways
With your Bette Davis eyes and your mama's party dress
While this city pumps its aching heart for one more drop of blood
We work our fingers down to dust and we wait for kingdom come
With the radio on

Oh, my, my, oh, hell yes
Honey, put on that party dress
Buy me a drink, sing me a song
Take me as I come 'cause I can't stay long


Last dance with Mary Jane
One more time to kill the pain
I feel summer creepin' in and I'm tired of this town again

Maybe I'm a man
Maybe I'm a lonely man who's in the middle of something
That he doesn't really understand
Maybe I'm a man
And maybe you're the only woman who could ever help me
Baby, won't you help me to understand?
Ooh-ah

Well my pad is very messy, got whiskers on my chin
Never had no problems 'cause I've always paid the rent
I got no time for lovin'
'Cause my time is all used up

I stand outside creatin'
All the groovy kinds of love

I'm a man, yes I am and I can't help but love you so
I'm a man, yes I am and I can't help but love you so

I know you wanna leave me
But I refuse to let you go
If I have to beg and plead for your sympathy
I don't mind, 'cause you mean that much to me

 

Ain't too proud to beg and you know it (sweet darlin')
Please don't leave me girl (don't you go)
Ain't too proud to plead, baby, baby
Please don't leave me, girl (don't you go)

Now Jason's getting married in the blink of an eye
I got an invitation, but I didn't reply
Tell your little brother that we put down the gloves
And give him all of my love

 

All of my friends say I should move on
She's just another girl
Don't let her stick it to your heart so hard
And all of my friends say it wasn't meant to be
And it's a great big world
She's just another girl

Roll my tape

(Which one?)
I'm doin' that one

 

Thirty days in the hole
(Yeah, that's nice)
Thirty days in the hole
Thirty days in the hole
(Lord have mercy)
'Come on in man, that's it. Yeah. Right.

Come on in, baby take you coat off, come on in, baby take a load off
Come on in, baby shake the blues off I'm gonna love that frown away
Come on in, baby put a smile on, come on in, baby tell me what's wrong
Come on in, the blues will be long gone I'm gonna love your hurt away

Be a winner, be a star
Yeah, be happy to be who you are
Got to be yourself, gotta make a plan
Got to go for it while you can

 

Come on over, come on in
Pull up a seat, take a load off your feet
Come on over, come on in
You can unwind, take a load off your mind
Oh-oh, yeah
Uh-huh
Come on in

I sent a letter to a man I know
Said, "one for the money and
Two for the show"
I waited all summer for his reply
Said, "three to get ready and four to fly"


Only two things in the world I love
That's rock 'n' roll and my turtle dove
When i was a young man i needed good luck
But i'm a little bit older now
And i know my stuff

 

Come on honey, let me sing them away
Come on honey, let me sing them away
Oh, honey, let me sing your blues away

… Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on

 

… Didn't I make you feel like you were the only man? Yeah
And didn't I give you nearly everything that a woman possibly can?
Honey, you know I did

 

And each time I tell myself that I, well I think I've had enough
But I'm gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough

 

… I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby (whoa, break it)
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah (whoa, have a)
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby
You know you got it if it makes you feel good
Oh, yes indeed

I got a woman, want to ball all day
I got a woman, she won't be true, no
I got a woman, stay drunk all the time
I said I got a little woman and she won't be true

I've got a woman
Way cross town
She's good to me oh, yeah


She's there to love me both day and night
No groans or fusses, treats me right
Never running in the street
Leaving me alone
She knows a woman's place is around home at night

Give me what you can tonight
Time is all we have to play
Tell me you can't live without me
Tell me every day by day by day

Day by day
Nothing lasts forever, only fades away
Day by day

Life's too short to make a mistake
Let's think of each other and hesitate
Young and impatient we may be
There's no need to act foolishly
If we part, our hearts won't forget it
Years from now we'll surely regret it

Give me just a little more time
And our love will surely grow
Give me just a little more time
And our love will surely grow

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-shiny day
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-shiny day

Take the highway
Lord knows I've been gone too long
Lot of sad days
One day you'll turn around and I'll be gone

And the time has finally come
For me to pack my bags and walk away
Hear me say

Life's like a road that you travel on

When there's one day here and the next day gone

Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand

Sometimes you turn your back to the wind

 

There's a world outside every darkened door

Where blues won't haunt you anymore

Where the brave are free and lovers soar

Come ride with me to the distant shore

 

We won't hesitate, break down the garden gate

There's not much time left today

 

Life is a highway

I want to ride it all night long

If you're going my way

I want to drive it all night long

If you gotta play at garden parties
I wish you a lotta luck
But if memories were all I sang
I'd rather drive a truck


But it's all right now
I learned my lesson well
You see, you can't please everyone
So you got to please yourself

I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
And just for that one moment I could be you


Yes I wish that for just one time
You could stand inside my shoes
You'd know what a drag it is to see you

When you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
Anything your heart desires
Will come to you

 

If your heart is in your dream
No request is too extreme
When you wish upon a star
As dreamers do

Why are there so many songs about rainbows and what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions, and rainbows have nothing to hide
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong wait and see

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

Hey, have you ever tried
Really reaching out for the other side?
I may be climbing on rainbows
But baby, here goes

 

Dreams, they're for those who sleep
Life is for us to keep
And if you're wondering what this song is leading to
I want to make it with you
I really think that we could make it, girl

We'll end up a'sittin' on a rainbow
Against all odds
Honey, we're the big door prize
We're gonna spite our noses
Right off of our faces
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
Dancin' in our eyes
There won't be nothin' but big old hearts
Dancin' in our eyes

I left my home in Georgia
Headed for the 'Frisco bay
'Cause I've had nothing to live for
And look like nothing's gonna come my way

 

So I'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
Watching the tide roll away
Ooh, I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
Wastin' time
