"Girl From The North Country"

"Girl From The North Country"


Well now if you're travelin' the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine

And if you go when the snowflakes storm
When the rivers freeze and summer ends
Please see she has a coat so warm
To keep her from the howlin' winds

And will you see that her hair is hangin' long
That it rolls and flows on down her breast
Yes will you see her hair's hangin' long
That's the way I remember her best

I wonder if she remembers me at all
Well many's a time I hope and pray
Mmmm in the darkness of my night
In the brightness of my day

So if you're travelin' the north country fair
Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline
Remember me to one who lives there
She once was a true love of mine

"Gone Baby Gone"

"Gone Baby Gone"


Tell you where its at
Ain't nobody crying now Cept for me
But it always mattered to me, yeah
Lost your head, life is dead
So please
Don't come singing that sad song any more
Cause it just doesn't matter to me

Find another fantasy, yeah
Go on fly, fly back to your flame
Just a game I ain't playing
So please
You won't be running that game on me no more
Cause you're gone baby gone to me
You ain't coming back cause you're gone baby gone to me

Right back where its at
Find another fantasy
As you fly
Fly back to your flame
Lost your game, no one playing
So please
Won't be running that game around here no more
Cause you're gone baby
To me
You ain't coming back back cause you're gone baby gone
To me
You ain't coming back cause you're gone baby gone

"Goodnight Louise"

"Goodnight Louise"


Goodnight Louise
It's lights out for me
It was hot for a minute
We were right down there in it
But hey Lou c'est la vie

Sweet romance
One last dance
I should be moving on
But they're playing our song
I might Louise I just might

What's in a moon one lonely night
What's in a heart that is true
Some would say that means everything
Don't mean a thing without you

So flies love
And stars up above
You were first but not the last
You're the queen of my past
Goodnight Louise.. goodnight

You were first
But not the last
You're the queen of my past
Goodnight.. Louise.. Goodnight
Goodnight

"Got You On My Mind"

"Got You On My Mind"


Got you on my mind
Feeling kind of sad and low
Got you on my mind
Feeling kind of sad and low
Wondering where you've gone
Wondering why you had to go

Tears fall from my eyes
Every time I hear your name
Tears fall from my eyes
Every time I hear your name
Wondering why you've gone
Wondering why things aren't the same

(Baby you know I got you on my mind
mmmm hmmmm
I'm feeling kinda sad and low
You know ah ha
I said I've got you on my mind
I'm feeling kind of sad and low
You know how I feel
I'm wondering where you've gone
Why did you have to go)

Got you on my mind
Feeling kind of sad and low
Got you on my mind
Feeling kind of sad and low
Wondering where you are
Wondering why you had to go

Tears fall from my eyes
Every time I hear your name
Tears fall from my eyes
Every time I hear your name
Wondering why you've gone
Wondering why things aren't the same

"Harbor Lights"

"Harbor Lights"


Son of a Tokyo Rose
I was bound to wander from home
Stranger to whatever I'd awaken to
Spun the wheel
Took a shot in the dark
One way ticket
And a runaway heart
A sailors dream came true
The night I dreamed of you

Through the neon doorways
Down the stony streets I fell
All hands high side all eyes a wreck
I followed
Sailing shadows reds and blues
Curtains drawn but I saw through
The window to your soul
And I found you

Whoa oh oh oh
The harbor lights of Venus
Shining through the breeze
That brings me back
To you my love..
To you my love..
To you my love
Oooooh

My eyes must be betrayin'
But that lonesome jukebox playin'
Somethin 'bout the Harbor Lights
Is callin' me
Back to some Jamaican bay
Doesn't seem so far away
Keep the change
But I'll repay these memories

Dawn came in this morning
Like some old junked out melody
The words she spoke as we awoke
Still haunt me
What you feel too
Won't reveal you
Let me steal you for my life

Whoah oh oh oh
The harbour lights of Venus
Shining through the breeze
That brings me back
To you my love..
To you my love..
To you my love...

Whoah oh oh oh
The harbour lights of Venus
Shining through the breeze
That brings me back..
Oh to you my love
To you my love..
To you my love...

Ooooh

The words she spoke as we awoke
Still haunt me

May reveal you
Let me steal you for my life"

Whoa oh oh oh
The harbor lights are of Venus
Shining through the breeze
That brings me back
To you my love
To you my love
To you my love

Whoa oh oh oh
The harbor lights of Venus
Shining through the breeze

To you my love
To you my love

"Hard Times"

"Hard Times"


I am down in the sea of confusion
Neath the waves of no recovery
Swept away by a distant voice calling
Ain't no use in trying to rescue me

I am falling
Back into your spell
Back into your cell of no return
No way to rescue me

I still see you
Reaching out to take your hold on me
Through a crack in the moon
I believed you
But I know this time there ain't no use

I am falling
Back into your spell
Back into a cell of no return
No way to rescue me

Falling
Back into your spell
Back into your cell of no return
No way to rescue me

I am falling
Back into your spell
Back into your cell of no return
No way to rescue me

Back into your spell
Back into your cell of no return
No way to rescue me

"He's A Fool For You"

"He's A Fool For You"


Day after day
He goes out of his way
Cos he knows you're gonna be there
And if he doesn't say too much
At least he keeps in touch to show his care

And it ain't like he never loved before
And it ain't like he'll never love no more
Just some day maybe he'll find some way baby
To turn you around

He may just be right
Why is he so in love with you
Why can't he find something better to do

But it ain't what he loves you for
No it ain't that you got so much more
It's just that sometimes someone
Got to play the dumb one to get along
And you may just get along

My my my my
He's a fool for you
No one else will do

Laugh and be gay ooh
You look so nice that way
You know you'll get a smile
Wear a ribbon in your hair
And he'll notice that it's there
It's just his style

You just state your case and sing the song
And you take it as it comes along
Who knows some day maybe
You'll take a look out baby and find you care

And I know you'll be there hey hey
My my my my
He's a fool for you
No one else will do

My my my my
He's a fool for you
No one else will do

"Heart Of Mine"

"Heart Of Mine"


One day you may
Find true love that will last forever
And ever
Till then you'll spend
A lifetime wishing one together
You never thought she'd say goodbye
And you'll never understand the reasons why

Heart of mine
How will you keep from dying
Stop reminiscing
Who is she kissing
Heart of mine
Oh what's the use in trying
No one can mend you now mmmmm

Love plays cruel games
You can't believe she's found another
...Lover
Does she miss me
Sometimes you just can't help but wonder
No you can't hold the hands of time
And you'll always be the one she left behind

Heart of mine
How will you keep from dying
Stop reminiscing
Who is she kissing

Heart of mine
Oh what's the use in trying
No one can mend you now

And you'll never understand the reasons why
Heart of mine
How will you keep from dying
Stop reminiscing
Who is she kissing

Heart of mine
Oh what's the use in trying
No one can mend you now
Oh heart of mine

Heart of mine
Heart of mine

"Hell To Pay"
(feat. Bonnie Raitt)

"Hell To Pay"
(feat. Bonnie Raitt)



Well I got a Senator over in Texas.
Got me a judge down in New Orleans.
Bought me a Senator over in Texas
and a judge down in New Orleans.
Sometimes I call the world my oyster
sweetest little deal you’ve ever seen.

Well the one kid’s high on God knows what and
the other one smashed the Benz.
Between the bank boys and the lawyers
I don’t know where it ends.
Sometimes I got to wonder about
living high in the hog.
There’s times I wish I’d married me
a woman instead of buying this fierce old dog.
Can’t Say the old man didn’t warn me
when he’s bringin’ me judgment day
And one little thing I forgot to
remember, there’s a matter of some hell to pay

And then here comes shifty and his new 150 he
wants to take me for a ride.
Saying hey little mamma how ‘bout a little drama.
Why don’t you just hop in inside?
Said I might look like a yokel
but I’m high tech mogul with a tiger in my tank
I said oh my goodness you’re a real smooth
talker I believe I’ll take that drink.
But first thing buddy better cool your jets
before you make your play
You gotta feed the kitty and oh yes
well there’s a matter of some hell to pay.

Well now you got your devil in the details.
Got your devil in the cake
You can’t look around most anywhere
that the devil ain’t on the take
He’s waiting on down at the end of the isle
he’s a waiting at the pearly gates.
I’d say the man’s about everywhere
ubiquitous some might say
Truth is he’s worn out all us fools
ain’t no one left to play
He’s bored, he’s mad, he’s all shook up
and there’s gonna be hell to pay.

Well we’ve dirtied up the waters
we pretty much trashed the earth
The butcher and the baker and everybody else
has taken it for all its worth.
Sayin “me oh my it was a big old pie
and I sure as hell filled my cup”
That Senator’s a comin on a big white horse
and the judge is gonna fix me up
but if ya complicate this moment
it’s time to fight and pray
Cause now it’s time for the money shot baby
times up and there’s hell to pay
