That's what he said
But I can't choose between a vegan
And a pot head

So I chose you
Because you're sweet
And you give me lots of lovin'
And you eat meat
And that's how you became
My only man of the hour

You never lie
And you don't cheat
And you don't have any baggage tied
To your four feet
Do I deserve
To be the one
Who will feed you breakfast, lunch, and dinner
And take you to the park at dawn
Will you really be
My only man of the hour

Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash
As we fell into the sun
And the first one said to the second one there
"I hope you're having fun"

 

Band on the run, band on the run
And the jailer man and sailor Sam
Were searching everyone
For the band on the run, band on the run
For the band on the run, band on the run

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you dance... I hope you dance...

Singing to an ocean, I can hear the ocean's roar
Play for free, I play for me and play a whole lot more, more!
Singing about the good things and the sun that lights the day
I used to sing on the mountains, has the ocean lost its way

Yeah they were dancin' and singin'
And movin' to the groovin'
And just when it hit me
Somebody turned around and shouted

"Play that funky music, white boy
Play that funky music right
Play that funky music, white boy
Lay down that boogie
And play that funky music 'til you die."

"...Everybody here is out of sight
They don't bark and they don't bite
They keep things loose, they keep things alight
Everybody was dancin' in the moonlight

Dancin' in the moonlight
Everybody's feelin' warm and right
It's such a fine and natural sight
Everybody's dancin' in the moonlight

We like our fun and we never fight
You can't dance and stay uptight
It's a supernatural delight
Everybody was dancin' in the moonlight..."

I was travellin' down the road feelin' hungry and cold
I saw a sign sayin' "Food and Drinks for Everyone"
So naturally, I thought I would take me a look inside
I saw so much food there was water coming from my eyes

Yeah, there was ham and there was turkey, there was caviar
And long tall glasses with wine up to y'are
Then somebody grabbed me, threw me out of my chair
Said, "Before you can eat, you gotta dance like Fred Astaire"

You know I can't dance, you know I can't dance
You know I can't dance, you know I can't dance, I can't dance!
I am a man of the road, a hobo by name
I don't seek entertainment, just poultry and game
But if it's all the same to you then yes, I will try my hand
If you were hungry as me then I'm sure you will understand

Hmm, now wait a minute, of course I can dance
Of course I can dance, I'm sure I can dance
I'm sure I can dance, I can dance
I can dance, I really hit the floor, ah, it feels good
Look at me dancin'!

I did a Two Step, Quick Step and a Bossanova
A little Victor Sylvester and a Rudy Valentino
You should have seen me moving right across the floor
Hand me down my tuxedo, next week I'm coming back for more

I can dance, oh yes, I can dance
Look at me dance on the floor movin'
I feel good, I can dance, I can dance
I can dance, I can dance, I can dance, I can dance

A white sports coat and a pink carnation
I'm all dressed up for the dance
A white sports coat and a pink carnation
I'm all alone in romance

Once you told me long ago
To the prom with me you'd go
Now you've changed your mind, it seems
Someone else will hold my dreams

A white sports coat and a pink carnation
I'm in a blue, blue mood

I'm all dressed up for the dance
I'm all alone in romance

That she's a woman through and through
She's a complicated lady, so color my baby moody blue, 
Oh, Moody blue
Tell me am I gettin' through

I keep hangin' on 
Try to learn the song
But I never do
Oh, Moody blue,

Tell me who I'm talkin' to
You're like the night and day
And it's hard to say 
Which one is you.

Confess, your kiss still knocks me off my legs. 
The first time I saw you was like a punch right through my chest 
And I will forever, 'cause you'll forever be 
My one true broken heart, pieces inside of me, 
And you'll forever, my baby be.

You will rest your head, your strength once saving. 
And when you wake you will fly away, 
Holding tight to the legs of all your angels. 
Goodbye my love, into your blue, blue eyes, 
Your blue, blue world, you're my baby blue.

Put your head on my shoulder
Hold me in your arms, baby
Squeeze me oh-so-tight
Show me that you love me too

 

Put your lips next to mine, dear
Won't you kiss me once, baby?
Just a kiss goodnight, maybe
You and I will fall in love (you and I will fall in love)

Sometimes, I feel I gotta get away
Bells chime, I know I gotta get away

And I know if I don't, I'll go out of my mind
Better leave her behind with the kids, they're alright
The kids are alright
The kids are alright
The kids are alright

Why don't we just give Alabama
Rope enough to hang himself?
Ain't no call to worry the jury
His kind takes care of itself

 

Twenty-third Psalm Majordomo
Reserve me a table for three
In the Valley of the Shadow
Just you, Alabama and me

 

Alabama getaway
Alabama getaway
Only way to please me
Turn around and leave
And walk away

 

RIP Robert Hunter

… It's getting near dawn
When lights close their tired eyes
I'll soon be with you my love
Give you my dawn surprise
I'll be with you darling soon
I'll be with you when the stars start falling

… I've been waiting so long
To be where I'm going
In the sunshine of your love

When the night has come, and the way is dark,
And that moon is the only light you see.
No I won't be afraid, no I-I-I won't be afraid
Just as long as the people come and stand by me.

 

Darlin' darlin' stand by me, ooh stand by me Oh stand
Stand stand by me C'mon stand by me stand by me

When you walk through a storm
Hold your head up high
And don't be afraid of the dark

 

At the end of a storm
There's a golden sky
And the sweet silver song of a lark

 

Walk on through the wind
Walk on through the rain
For your dreams be tossed and blown

 

Walk on, walk on
With hope in your heart
And you'll never walk alone

Karen she's the silver sun, you best walk her way and watch it shine,
watch her watch the morning come.
A silver tear appearing now I'm crying, ain't I? I'm going to Carolina in my mind.

There ain't no doubt in no ones mind that loves the finest thing around,
whisper something soft and kind.
And hey, babe, the sky's on fire, I'm dying, ain't I? I'm going to Carolina in my mind.

In my mind I'm going to Carolina. Can't you see the sunshine, can't you just feel the moonshine?
Ain't it just like a friend of mine to hit me from behind? Yes, I'm going to Carolina in my mind.

… There are places I'll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain

 

… All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I've loved them all

Woke up this morning with a wine glass in my hand
Whose wine? What wine?
Where the hell did I dine?
Must have been a dream
I don't believe where I've been
Come on, let's do it again

 

Do you, you feel like I do?
Do you, you feel like I do?

What can I do, what can I be?
When I'm with you I want to stay there
If I'm true, I'll never leave
And if I do, I know the way there
Ooh, then I suddenly see you
Ooh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life
Got to get you into my life

I rode my bicycle past your window last night
I roller-skated to your door at daylight
It almost seems like you're avoiding me
I'm okay alone, but you've got something I need

Well, I've got a brand-new pair of roller skates
You've got a brand-new key
I think that we should get together
And try them on to see

So I took a big chance at the high school dance
With a missy who was ready to play
Wasn't me she was foolin'
'Cause she knew what she was doin'
And I know love is here to stay
When she told me to

Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Walk this way, walk this way
Ah, just give me a kiss

He came from somewhere back in her long ago
The sentimental fool don't see
Tryin' hard to recreate
What had yet to be created once in her life
She musters a smile
For his nostalgic tale
Never coming near what he wanted to say
Only to realize
It never really was

She had a place in his life
He never made her think twice
As he rises to her apology
Anybody else would surely know
He's watching her go

But what a fool believes he sees
No wise man has the power to reason away
