"Jody Girl"

"Jody Girl"


Jody Girl, Jody Girl, Spend your time today
Watchin' clocks, spin the hours away
Jody girl, you know the world
Goin' round all day
Thinkin' back
To the things you used to say

Didn't he put you on a pedastal
When first you met
Sure was some honeymoon
Ain't it hard to forget

Now whatever happened to that crazy boy
With the love light in his eye
Used to bring you flowers every day

Now you sit here
On a cloudy afternoon
Watchin' the soap opera on the tv
An your old man's workin'
And your kids are out playin'
And you ain't feelin' too free

You keep thinkin' back
Thinkin' back to high school
Those high school days
All the wild wild wild good times you had
All the boyfriends,
Boyfriends knockin' at your door

[repeat first verse]

"Johnson, Lennie"

"Johnson, Lennie"


Here we go tape rolling
Sgt. Pepper take 6

He doesn't know which way to go
Even though he's made the dough
Lennie Johnson's lost his way
Lennie Johnson's lost his way
He's lost his mind
[?]
Lennie Johnson's lost his way

He spent his time with words of rhyme
He's rang the chime
We must find

Lennie Johnson's lost his way
Lennie Johnson's lost his way
He's lost his mind
He had it yesterday
Lennie Johnson's lost his way

An apple a day keeps the doctor away
I've heard them say
Not today

"Jumpin' Humpin' Hip Hypocrite"

"Jumpin' Humpin' Hip Hypocrite"



Hey, got my hands in my back pocket
I'm a jumpin'
Unscrewing the light from the socket
And I'd rather stand than sit
Puttin' all the people in the dark
Tellin' everyone good night bye bye
I put the sound

Carryin' the truth in my back pocket
My hands are holdin' me down
I've been waiting for people to ask me
What have you found

I'm a jumpin' humpin' hip hypocrit
I was dead before a gypsy
She held my head and
Fought with my boots till my eyes turned red
I'm a jumpin' humpin' hip hypocrit
Oh I'd rather stand than sit
I've been down to the gutter
Hopin' I've lived on honey and butter
But with me a life's a game
I call insane
I'm not the one to blame
I'm called insane

I was hung when I was young
I was named insane
I'm a jumpin' humpin' hip hypocrit
I broke all the laws before my age
I'm a jumpin' humpin' hip hypocrit
Yeah I'd rather stand than sit
I'm a jumpin' humpin' hip hypocrit
I turn around to see the clown
But with me a life's a game
I call insane
I'm not the one to blame
I'm called insane

I'm a jumpin' humpin' hip hypocrit
I'd rather stand than sit
I'm a jumpin' humpin' hip hypocrit
I'd rather stand than sit
I put the sound

"Katmandu"

"Katmandu"


I think I'm goin' to Katmandu,
I think it's really where I'm going to
Hey if I ever get out of here
That's what I'm gonna do

[Chorus:]
Kkkkkk,Katmandu
I think it's really where I'm going to
Hey if I ever get out of here
I'm goin to Katmandu

I got no kick against the west coast,
Warner Brothers are such good hosts
I raise my whiskey glass, give 'em a toast,
I'm sure they know it's true

I got no rap against southern states,
Every time that I've been there it's been great
But now I'm leavin' and I can't be late,
And to myself be true

That's where I'm goin to Katmandu
Up to the mountains where I'm going to

[Chorus]

I ain't got nothin' against the east coast,
you want some people well they got the most
New York City's like a friendly old ghost,
You seem to cruise right through

I know I'm gonna miss the USA,
I guess I'll miss it every single day
But no one loves me here anyway,
I know my plane is due

The one that's goin to Katmandu

[Chorus]

 

[fox69]

"Katmandu"

"Katmandu"



I think I'm goin' to Katmandu,
That's really really where I'm going to
If I ever get out of here
That's what I'm gonna do

Kkkkkk, Katmandu
I think it's really where I'm going to
If I ever get out of here
I'm goin to Katmandu

I got no kick against the west coast,
Warner Brothers are such good hosts
I raise my whiskey glass, and give 'em a toast,
I'm sure they know it's true

I got no rap against the southern states
Every time I've been there it's been great
But now I'm leavin' and I can't be late
And to myself be true

That's where I'm goin to Katmandu
Up to the mountains where I'm going to
If I ever get out of here
That's what I'm gonna do

I got no quarrel with the midwest
The folks out there have given me their best
I lived there all my life I've been their guest
I sure have loved it too

I'm tired of lookin' at the tv news
I'm tired of drivin' hard and payin' dues
I figure baby I've got nothing to lose
I'm tired of being blue

That's why I'm goin to Katmandu
Up to the mountains where I'm going to
If I ever get out of here
That's what I'm gonna do

Kkkkkk, Katmandu
Take me baby cause I'm goin' with you
If I ever get out of here
I'm goin to Katmandu

I ain't got nothin' against the east coast
You want some people well they got the most
And New York City's like a friendly ghost
You seem to pass right through

I know I'm gonna miss the USA
I guess I'll miss it every single day
But no one loves me here anyway
I know my plane is due

The one that's goin to Katmandu
Up to the mountains where I'm going to
If I ever get out of here
That's what I'm gonna do

Kkkkkk, Katmandu
Really really really I'm going to
If I ever get out of here
If I ever get out of here
If I ever get out of here
I'm goin to Katmandu

Ooh ooh ooh, ooh yeah

Katmandu
Katmandu
Katmandu
Katmandu
Katmandu
Katmandu

"Leaning On My Dream"

"Leaning On My Dream"



I was walkin to the corner drug store
and what should I happen to see
there were picket lines
and the people were a shoutin'
"Down with democracy"
as I strolled on by someone grabbed my arm and said
"buddy where do you stand"?
I said "I stand wherever I choose my friend
and you best let go of my hand"
as I walked away on a sunny day, I swear IA heard him scream
"you know you're leanin' on my dream"
"Hey man you're leanin on my dream"

Got home and turned on the tv set
and sat me down to eat
and a man came on
talkin' bout the coppers
they were blockin' off another street
Seems some folks was raisin' cain
and a riot had broke out

and they flashed the camera on the guy who had stopped me
I watched him runnin' about
as the cops were draggin him away
I heard on of 'em scream
"you know you're leanin' on my dream"
"these kids are leanin' on my dream"

oh yeah

well I got up and turned off the tv set
and to tell you I was feelin' mean
an I thought a while
tryin to make some sense
out of everything that I have seen

I was addin' the score when there's a knock on the door
was a letter addressed to me
It read "greetings from the president, united states"
I fell down on my knees

The next day I was on the picket line
and Lord you should have heard me scream
"you know you're leanin' on my dream"
"hey man you're leanin' on my dream"

"Let It Rock"

"Let It Rock"



In the heat of the day, down in Mobile, Alabama
Workin' on the railroad with a steel drivin' hammer
Tryin' to get some money, get some brand new shoes
Tryin to find a lady, chase away my blues
Hot and wasted sweatin' in the sun
'cause I'm not a foreman 'till my work is all done

Later in the evening when the sun is sinking low
I'll be out there waitin' for the whistle to blow
Sittin' in the teepee smokin' out on the track
Rollin' them bones till my foreman get back
Suddenly I hear the breakman up and shout
There's a non-stop train runnin' just two miles out

Everybody jumpin' and a screaming around
Tryin to get a line an get the teepee down
Railroad owner's 'bout to go insane
Tryin' to get the workers out the way of the train
Here come the engineer honk his horn
He got a train you got to let it roll on

Let it rock
Let it rock
Let it rock
Let it rock
Rock and roll all night long

Long time ago in Missouri
St. Louis Missouri
Home of the blues
Birth of the blues
Little old Chuck Berry
Chuck used to say:

There she is again over there by the record machine
Three times
Lookin' like a model on the cover of a magazine
Too damn cute to be a minute over 13, I believe that
Meanwhile...Ol' Chuck he be thinkin'

She's in the mood, no need to break it
I got a chance and Lord I'm gonna take it
If she'll dance we might even make it
Come on Queenie, let's shake it
Little Queenie
Go go go little Queenie
Rock an roll rock an roll rock an roll
go go go little Queenie
Rock an roll rock an roll rock an roll

Mr. Drew Abbott from Royal Oak, Michigan on guitar
While I'm at it,
Mr. Chris Campbell right here on bass from Plymouth, Michigan
Charlie Martin on the drums from Detroit, Michigan
Tommy Cartmell on saxophone from Birmingham, Michigan
Robin Robbins on keyboards from Grosse Point, Michigan
Silver Bullet yeah
I'm Bob Seger I'm from Ann Arbor, Michigan

Shake baby shake
Shake baby shake
Shake baby shake
Shake baby shake...
I believe we're about ready don't you?
A little bit of guitar, rock and roll
Let it rock

Said go on and Let it rock
Go on and Let it rock
Reach on down in your soul
A little bit of Detroit michigan soul
I love it
Rock an roll all night long
You're a beautiful audience good night
Thank you

Good night
Good night and get high and have a good time thank you

"Let The Rivers Run"

"Let The Rivers Run"



I've seen the top, I've seen the view
Lately I find not much is new
And there's always a hill out there beyond
Where I could be and where I belong

Some always take, some have to win
They leave you with scars again and again
As they reach for the sky only to fall
They never change, I've seen them all

Let the rivers run like they always do
It's not up to me it's not up to you
When we reach the end when our time is done
Let us all be still while the rivers run

Let the rivers run from the great divide
I will stay with you I'll be by your side
When we reach the end when the words are done
Let us listen well while the rivers run

"Like A Rock"

"Like A Rock"



Stood there boldly
Sweatin' in the sun
Felt like a million
Felt like number one
The height of summer
I'd never felt that strong
Like a rock

I was eighteen
Didn't have a care
Working for peanuts
Not a dime to spare
But I was lean and
Solid everywhere
Like a rock

My hands were steady
My eyes were clear and bright
My walk had purpose
My steps were quick and light
And I held firmly
To what I felt was right
Like a rock

Like a rock, I was strong as I could be
Like a rock, nothin' ever got to me
Like a rock, I was something to see
Like a rock

And I stood arrow straight
Unencumbered by the weight
Of all these hustlers and their schemes
I stood proud, I stood tall
High above it all
I still believed in my dreams

Twenty years now
Where'd they go?
Twenty years
I don't know
Sit and I wonder sometimes
Where they've gone

And sometimes late at night
When I'm bathed in the firelight
The moon comes callin' a ghostly white
And I recall
I recall

Like a rock. standin' arrow straight
Like a rock, chargin' from the gate
Like a rock, carryin' the weight
Like a rock

Like a rock, the sun upon my skin
Like a rock, hard against the wind
Like a rock, I see myself again
Like a rock
