"River's Invitation"

"River's Invitation"


I've been all across the country
And I've stayed in every town
Because I'm trying to find my baby
But no one has seen her around
And you know which way I'm headed
If my baby can't be found

I spoke to the river
And the river spoke back to me
It said man you look so lonely
You look full of misery
And if you can't find your baby
Come and make your home with me

Well, I don't want to leave her
Because I know she's still alive
And someday I'm going to find her
And I'll take her for a ride
And we'll spend our days forever
In our home beneath the tide

"Ruby Lee"

"Ruby Lee"


Staring at shadows on the wall
Wish I knew of someone I could call
Someone who might understand it all
Ruby Lee, sure wish you were here with me

Someone lying with me in my bed
Some stranger who don't understand my head
Wish it was you lying here instead
Ruby Lee, sure wish you were here with me

Drowning in a sea of pretty faces
Being quite the man about the town
Packing up and going pretty places
But I sure miss you around

Listen to the noises down the hall
Think I'll move out of here in the fall
Ain't exactly having me a ball
Ruby Lee, sure wish you were here with me

Drowning in a sea of pretty faces
Being quite the man about the town
Packing up and going pretty places
But I sure miss you around

Listen to the noises down the hall
Wishin' there was someone out to call
Ain't exactly having me a ball
Ruby Lee, sure wish you were here with me

"Runaway Train"

"Runaway Train"


When I had it all up
And I can't explain why
I keep on changing names
Try to depend on time, you know
To get you out of my mind

What makes it worse than that
Is I can look away
Like watchin' something dull, you know
Holdin' on through your desires

[Chorus:]
Like a runaway train
Never think my mind will be the same
So now I'm telling you
There's nothing left to show
The silence is over
Some fortune grasp
And we'll be on the road
For you my heart is beating fast

Sometimes, sometimes there's a moment
When all things appear brand new
Maybe the moment is being gone
Never left the sign

Most everything I touched
Seems to fade away
But my dreams are unmisteakable
From effect of your desire

Like a runaway train
Never in my mind will be the same
And now I'm telling you
There's nothing left to show
The silence is over
Some fortune grasp
And we'll be on the road
For you my heart is beating fast

So, if you ever
If you ever change your mind
And, did you ever
Did you ever find your wings in flight, away?

Like a runaway train
My runaway train
Like a runaway train
And we'll be on the road
For you my heart is beating fast

"Sail Away"

"Sail Away"


In America you'll get food to eat
Won't have to run through the jungle
And scuff up your feet
You'll just sing about Jesus and drink wine all day
It's great to be an American

Ain't no lions or tigers-ain't no mamba snake
Just the sweet watermelon and the buckwheat cake
Ev'rybody is as happy as a man can be
Climb aboard, little wog-sail away with me

Sail away-sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
Sail away-sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay

In America every man is free
To take care of his home and his family
You'll be as happy as a monkey in a monkey tree
You're all gonna be an American

Sail away-sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay
Sail away-sail away
We will cross the mighty ocean into Charleston Bay

"Sandpaper Cadillac"

"Sandpaper Cadillac"


Riding along in a sandpaper Cadillac
Somebody's strikin' a match on the back
Brimstone lines marring the body so fair
Brimstone lines marring the body so fair

Slowly, my mind and dream change into woe, now
My car is dead and gone, Lord
And I just can't carry on
Changing, my thoughts become so clear to me
My car wants to be free, I know
And it's calling out to me, yeah
Walking along with a gold-plated pussycat
Somebody's pouring blood on its back
Paint that has pierced all the pores in his hide
Paint that has pierced all the pores in his hide

Slowly, my mind and dream change into woe, now
My cat is all alone, I know it
And it hasn't got a bone
Changing, my thoughts become so clear to me
My cat begins to sleep
And it's sleeping 'round with me
Don't you know I need that thing so bad
My car and my cat are going bad
And I need everything I can, Lady
Aaaaa! Oh, no no, this can't be the same, no
They're gonna meet me once again, yeah
They're gonna meet me once again, Lord

"Seven Days"

"Seven Days"


Seven days, seven more days she'll be comin'
I'll be waiting at the station for her to arrive
Seven more days, all I gotta do is survive.

She been gone ever since I been a child
Ever since I seen her smile, I ain't forgotten her eyes.
She had a face that could outshine the sun in the skies.

I been good, I been good while I been waitin'
Maybe guilty of hesitatin', I just been holdin' on
Seven more days, all that'll be gone.

There's kissing in the valley,
Thieving in the alley,
Fighting every inch of the way.
Trying to be tender
With somebody I remember
In a night that's always brighter'n the day.

Seven days, seven more days that are connected
Just like I expected, she'll be comin' on forth,
My beautiful comrade from the north.

There's kissing in the valley,
Thieving in the alley,
Fighting every inch of the way.
Trying to be tender
With somebody I remember
In a night that's always brighter'n the day.

"She Believes In Me"

"She Believes In Me"


I'm tossing and turning and I can't get to sleep
Got something on my mind I just can't release
Then she whispers so softly that she believes in me

If I let her down and tried to disguise it
She always see's through it always replies that
No matter what I do she believes in me

All the times I failed gone slightly off the rails
She's there to remind me she believes in me
When it all goes wrong and I feel I'm on my own
She's there to remind me she believes in me

Don't get me wrong I'm not some kind of fool
I'd give her my world if she asked me to
Cuz here's no denying she believes in me

But I'm only human I'm just a guy
That sometimes makes mistakes and I can't explain why
Some say she's crazy but she believes in me

All the times I failed gone slightly off the rails
She's there to remind me she believes in me
When it all goes wrong and I feel I'm on my own
She's there to remind me she believes in me

She believes in me in what I do
She believes in me I need her too
She believes in God above
She believes when we make love

All the times I failed gone slightly off the rails
She's there to remind me she believes in me
When it all goes wrong and I feel I'm on my own
She's there to remind me she believes in me
Ya she's there to remind me she believes in me
Ya she's there to remind me she believes in me
Ya she's there to remind me she believes in me

"She Came In Through The Bathroom Window"
(originally by The Beatles)

"She Came In Through The Bathroom Window"
(originally by The Beatles)



She came in through the bathroom window
Protected by a silver spoon
But now she sucks her thumb and wanders
By the banks of her own lagoon

Didn't anybody tell her?
Didn't anybody see?
Sunday's on the phone to Monday,
Tuesday's on the phone to me

She said she'd always been a dancer
She worked at 15 clubs a day
And though she thought I knew the answer
Well I knew what I could not say.

And so I quit the police department
And got myself a steady job
And though she tried her best to help me
She could steal but she could not rob

Didn't anybody tell her?
Didn't anybody see?
Sunday's on the phone to Monday,
Tuesday's on the phone to me
Oh yeah.

Well she's never starts moaning

Well she never starts to raving about the beauty that she is saving
She let her to see her body to me
Somebody please
We got the meet [x8]

"Shelter Me"

"Shelter Me"


This ain't no place for losers
Or the innocent of mind
It's a full time job for anyone
To stay alive

The streets are set like boundaries
For a war that's never won
On a wasteland full of broken dreams
And hired guns

[Chorus:]
Shelter me, baby shelter me
When I lose control or my way home
Shelter me

I go to sleep with one eye open
The other holds my tears
In the darkness I can hide my heart
But not my fears

In the morning like a soldier
I'll approach the battleground
Another day, another dollar made
And the world goes round

[Chorus:]
Shelter me, baby shelter me
When I'm sinkin' down, or losin' ground
Shelter me

Every time I tumble down
I wanna pack it up and leave this town
But when I finally get the nerve
And the lead out of my shoes
I think of you, I think of you

[Chorus out:]
Shelter me, baby shelter me
When I lose control or my way home
Shelter me
