"Soda Pop"

"Soda Pop"


[CHORUS:]
Soda Pop, Soda Pop, everybody want to make it to the top. [X4]

[CHORUS]

Take a million dollars, baby, put it in my hand;
Put my favorite retouched photo on the soda can.
Put my face on television, say my name a lot; (lot lot lot)
Show your cola in every household, give it all you got;
Better strike while the iron's hot.

[CHORUS]

There's a generation out there, waitin' to be tapped;
If we play our cards right, baby, we'll be sittin' fat.
Play a little rock 'n roll music, tease 'em with a tune;
Show a couplea old time pictures from the baby boom,
An' suck 'em in while I croon.

[CHORUS]
[CHORUS]
[CHORUS]

Gimme that, gimme that, money, money, money....

"Somebody Help Me"

"Somebody Help Me"


I been all around the world
Searching for my baby
Tell me where can she be
Lookin' high and low
Way back in Kokomo
It's still a mystery

Somebody help me
She don't want me no more
Somebody help me
I can't do this alone

I crossed the Great Wall of China
Spent my last dime
Way down the Amazon
Swam the Indian Ocean
Been up in Nova Scotia
Where has my baby gone

Somebody help me
There's somethin' goin' wrong
Somebody help me
I can't do this alone

I keep walkin' the backstreets
Tryin' to find my baby
I keep chasin' the shadows
She don't want me no more
Don't want me no more

I went home to Pocatello Idaho
Can I find a familiar face
Askin' everybody, everyone I know
She disappeared without a trace

Somebody help me
She don't want me no more
Somebody help me
I can't do this alone

Somebody help me
There's somethin' goin' wrong
Somebody help me
I can't do this alone

"Someday Never Comes"
(with Dawes)

"Someday Never Comes"
(with Dawes)



First thing I remember was askin' papa, "Why?",
For there were many things I didn't know.
And Daddy always smiled; took me by the hand,
Sayin', "Someday you'll understand."

[CHORUS:]
Well, I'm here to tell you now each and ev'ry mother's son
You better learn it fast; you better learn it young,
'Cause, "Someday" Never Comes."

Well, time and tears went by and I collected dust,
For there were many things I didn't know.
When Daddy went away, he said, "Try to be a man,
And, Someday you'll understand."

[CHORUS]

And then, one day in April, I wasn't even there,
For there were many things I didn't know.
A son was born to me; Mama held his hand,
Sayin' "Someday you'll understand."

[CHORUS]

Think it was September, the year I went away,
For there were many things I didn't know.
And I still see him standing, try'n' to be a man;
I said, "Someday you'll understand."

[CHORUS]

Ohhhh, when He calls my name, I will ah-ah-a-answer,

"Southern Streamline"

"Southern Streamline"


Mama I'm on fire
Old flame
Sweet desire
Comin' on the midnight
Comin' on the midnight train
Rollin' steel and thunder
Bring my baby back again

Roll on down the line
Big wheels rollin' right on time
Hear that whistle blowin'
Hear that engine roar and whine
Take care of my baby
Ridin' on that southern streamline

Well I got a little letter this morning
Just about the break of day
Bluebird ringin' my doorbell
Rollin' my blues away
Said honey when we go steppin'
Long about Saturday night
So head it down to the station
An' everything'll be alright

Honey what's that sound
Big wheels rollin' homeward bound
See that smokestack sparkin'
Lightin' up a purple sky
Take care of my baby
Ridin' on that southern streamline

Well I got a little letter this morning
Just about the break of day
Bluebird ringin' my doorbell
Rollin' my blues away
Said honey babe we'll go steppin'
Long about Saturday night
So head it down to the station
An' everything'll be alright

Mama I'm on fire
Old flame
Sweet desire
Comin' on the midnight
Honey let your little light shine
Rollin' steel and thunder
Ridin' on that southern streamline
Take care of my baby
Ridin' on that southern streamline

Everybody want it,
Everybody need it
Everybody got to have it,
Everybody knows

[Chorus]
Lookin' for some, sugar sugar, sugar sugar, sugar sugar in my life!

And the work is done
That's when I got to find my baby,
Shes the only one

Lookin' for some, sugar sugar, sugar sugar, sugar sugar in my life!
Sugar sugar, sugar sugar, sugar sugar in my life!

Take some time to share your lovin',
That's the golden rule

Got to have some, sugar sugar, sugar sugar, sugar sugar in my life!
Sugar sugar, sugar sugar, sugar sugar in my life!
Sugar sugar, sugar sugar, sugar sugar in my life!
Sugar sugar, sugar sugar, sugar sugar in my life!
Sugar sugar, sugar sugar, sugar sugar in my life!

"Summer Of Love"

"Summer Of Love"


It was the summer of love
Freedom was in the air
Young people everywhere
So many questions if you dare

It was the summer of love
Stand back it will blow your mind
Never seen such a powerful time
Universe about to unwind

Reach out your arms
Touch the moon, touch the sky
Face to the wind
To be free

It was the summer of love
So many people on the move
Flower children lookin' for the truth
Will they find it or just excuse

Reach out your arms
Touch the moon, touch the sky
Face to the wind
To be free

"Swamp River Days"

"Swamp River Days"


Two-lane
Shinin' in the july dust
Heat risin' off the road
Out in front of my truck
Pulled my pick-up over the hill
Down the slide gravel through the cat-tails
Give me those swamp river days again

Sat down in the shade of a cotton wood tree
Pretty soon the swamp critters' callin' me
Skinny river kids swim in my mind
Hucklebums on cane-pole time
Give me those swamp river days again

Old memories out in the crick
Playin' hooky with a hobo stick
Old memories startin' to fade
Take me away

Cody river playin' on the radio
Takes me back to a girl I used to know
Sweet Susie do you think about me
That was good as it's ever gonna be
Give me those swamp river days again
Give me those swamp river days again

"Sweet Hitch-Hiker"

"Sweet Hitch-Hiker"


Was ridin' along side the highway,
Rollin' up the countryside.
Thinkin' I'm the devil's heatwave,
What you burn in your crazy mind?
Saw a slight distraction
Standin' by the road.
She was smilin' there, yellow in her hair.
"Do you wanna," I was thinkin', "would you care?"

Sweet hitch-a-hiker,
We could make music at the Greasy King.
Sweet hitch-a-hiker,
Won't you ride on my fast machine?

Cruisin' on thru the junction,
I'm flyin' 'bout the speed of sound.
Noticin' peculiar function,
I ain't no roller coaster; show me down.
I turned away to see her,
Whoa, she caught my eye.
But I was rollin' down, movin' too fast.
"Do you wanna," she was thinkin', "can it last?"

Sweet hitch-a-hiker,
We could make music at the Greasy King.
Sweet hitch-a-hiker,
Won't you ride on my fast machine?

Was busted up along the highway,
I'm the saddest ridin' fool alive.
Wond'ring if you're goin' in my way,
Won't you give a poor boy a ride?
Here she comes a-ridin',
Lord, she's flyin' high.
But she was rollin' down, movin' too fast.
"Do you wanna," she was thinkin', "can I last?"

Sweet hitch-a-hiker,
We could make music at the Greasy King.
Sweet hitch-a-hiker,
Won't you ride on my fast machine?

Sweet hitch-a-hiker,
We could make music at the Greasy King.
Sweet hitch-a-hiker,
Won't you ride on my fast machine?

Sweet hitch-a-hiker,
We could make music at the Greasy King.
Sweet hitch-a-hiker,
Won't you ride on my fast machine?

Sweet hitch-a-hiker,
We could make music at the Greasy King...
