"Sleep Tight, Goodnight Man"

"Sleep Tight, Goodnight Man"



The sandman told me he's done all he can
The situation calls for more than sand
You've been crying all night long
Tossing and turning and it's almost done.

I am here, I'm gonna help you sleep
Count on me instead of counting sheet
Close your eyes and leave the rest to me.

And you'll have sweet dreams at the last of night
And easy feeling and a morning light
Drift away with a touch of the hand
From the sleep tight, goodnight man.

Soft and sooth and as a lullaby
I'll kiss your tears from those weary eyes
And in the morning you will understand
That you've been touched by the goodnight man.

I'll rock you gently like a rolling wave
Hold you in my arms until you drift away
So just lay back and leave the rest to me.

And you'll have sweet dreams at the last of night
And easy feeling and a morning light
Drift away with a touch of the hand
From the sleep tight, goodnight man.

"Slow Dance More"

"Slow Dance More"



Grady johnson was a common man
Four children and some bottom land
Early to bed he said well that ain't me
I gotta spend some time with my family

Left to it's own device may becomes june
But children grow up all too soon

So love your neighbor as yourself
Don't use money to measure wealth
Trust in God but lock your door
Buy low sell high and slow dance more

Mama johnson was grady's wife
She bore his children and she graced his life
Hand in hand and side by side
They worked hard to simplify

Some folks have and some have not
What really counts is what you do with what you've got

So love your neighbor as yourself
Don't use money to measure wealth
Trust in God but lock your door
Buy low sell high and slow dance more

And more I think I understan
What my father's father meant
When he said son what matters most
You can count on just one hand

So love your neighbor as yourself
Don't use money to measure wealth
Trust in God but lock your door
Buy low sell high and slow dance more

Buy low sell high and slow dance more

"So In Love With You"

"So In Love With You"



So in love with you.

Girl, I've seen you lonesome every morning,
by my side you'd never be alone,
just tell me what it is your heart desire,
‘cos all I wanna do is take you home.

‘cos I'm so in love with you
yes, I'm so in love with you
yes, I'm so in love with you
I'm so in love with you.

Come on girl, I need you here beside me,
I'll show you love like you've never known
And I will tell the world how much I love you,
‘cos all I wanna do is take you home.

‘cos I'm so in love...

see, is it only just a minute
your love I've got to win it
don't let me down
you know there's one thing about you,
I just can't live without you
don't let me down.

You're the one that keeps all together,
let me hold you in my arms all thro' the night
What I'm trying to say it's girl I love you
and loving you is the best part of my life.

'cos I'm so...

"So Little Love In The World"

"So Little Love In The World"



One rainy afternoon at Union Station
As I sat alone and waited on my train
I overheard a lover's conversation
Laced with desperation and pain.

I heard a girl say when is your train leavin'
The schedule's blurry, something's in my eyes
I heard a boy say I'll just board it early
With a voice some lone drown out goodbye.

I thought there's so little love in the world
There's so little love in the world
With all of those millions of lonely boys and girls
Why is there so little love in the world.

I saw them walk together thro' the station
I saw the girl walk back alone her head held down
Her tremblin' lips the only indication
Of her losin' struggle not to cry...

"Soldier Of Love"

"Soldier Of Love"



I am only one of those who care
Who care about the faith of love
I know there's many others just like me
I know they two ain't had enough
'cos this heart's doin' battle on the front line
love's got no heroes in these modern times
what love needs is a defender
I am a soldier of love.

I see it in your eyes you felt the heat
There was a time when you believed
Love is the only way to make it thro'
Or be another casualty
From that heart's doin' battle on the front line
Love's got no heroes in these modern times
What love needs is a defender
I am a soldier of love.

"Some Prisons Don't Have Walls"

"Some Prisons Don't Have Walls"



As I walk down this busy street
I think about your leaving
How my life may never be the same
I know I should be planning ways
To enjoy this endless freedom
Losing you has put my heart in chains.

Darling, some prisons don't have walls
Your memory won't let me go at all
I found no way out since you've been gone
Some prisons don't have walls.

Every night I turn the tv on
To break the sound of silence
For a while it takes you off my mind
Just when I feel over you reality surrounds me.

There I am right back doing time.

Darling, some prisons don't have walls
Your memory won't let me go at all
I found no way out since you've been gone
Some prisons don't have walls...

"Somebody Help Me"

"Somebody Help Me"



Morning sunshine through the curtain
Throws a Rorschach on my wall
Waking up wide asleep
I try unraveling it all
By all rights I should be dead
From this bullet hole in my head
Oddly enough I seem to be alive
Greatly dismayed I discover
That the feel under the covers
With the red toe walks
Can possibly be mine.

Won't somebody help me?
You've got to help me
Because wine and too much wine
And a female friend of mine
Rode a Mustang through my mind last night.

It was a Saturday, I don't matter day
We were drinking at the old Red Log
And another and another
With my long lost brother
'Til the room began to fog
Then a fine looking woman walked by
Looked me in the eye
Heaved a sigh and took me by surprise
I said: 'sit down and take your place
Of my long lost brother ace'
Who had just caved in
And passed out on the floor.

Won't somebody help me?

"Somebody Took My Love"

"Somebody Took My Love"



I never thought that it would end this way
Somehow it'd always go home
And yet this morning when I reached for her
She was gone.
I never asked for any promises
I knew she'd always be there
I swear somebody must be loving at me somewhere.

Love, love
Somebody took my love, love
How can this be?
She said: she'd always be there for me
Love, love
Somebody took my love, love
We set us free
You don't know what she means to me.

I never saw a single morning sun
When did it catch her her heart
How could I ever have let him break us apart.
I feel so helpless and so out of touch
There's no escape in this pain
But in my heart I know
She can't be the one to blame.

Love, love
Somebody took my love, love
How can this be?
She said: she'd always be there for me
Love, love
Somebody took my love, love
We set us free
You don't know what she means to me.

So cold, spending my nights alone
Somebody hears me calling your name
Somebody sent you home...

"Someone Is Me"

"Someone Is Me"



There's aluminium cans an' cigarette butts
Lyin' in the sides of street
Baseball field in the county park
Buried in a blanket of weeds.

There's a swastika sprayed from an aerosol can
Displayed on the overpass
Drivin' around, it's easy to see
This town's goin' down real fast.

Somebody should do somethin' about it
How hard could it be?
Somebody should do somethin' about it
Maybe that someone is me.

Followed a couple into Ferguson's Grille
The doors swung back in my face
Closed my eyes but I felt the stares
When I bowed my head to say grace.

Watched the table of suits stiff the waitress a tip
Like they didn't have a nickel to spare
Walked out in the heat risin' on Main Street
But I felt the chill in the air.

Somebody should do somethin' about it
(Somebody, somebody)
How hard could it be?
Somebody should do somethin' about it
(Somebody, somebody.)
Maybe that someone is me.

I don't expect this world to be Heaven
But it sure could be better
I could sit around bitchin'; stand around waitin'
But I might be waitin' forever.
(Forever, forever.)

Somebody should do somethin' about it
(Somebody, somebody)
How hard could it be?
Somebody should do somethin' about it
(Somebody, somebody.)
Maybe that someone is me...

"Someone Must Feel Like A Fool Tonight"

"Someone Must Feel Like A Fool Tonight"



Someone must feel like a fool tonight
Knowing they let you go
Someone is wishing they've done you right
Regreting they hurt you so.

Now that you're here in my loving arms
Forget all your yesterdays
Someone must feel like a fool tonight
For letting you slip away.

When I see the moon shining in your eyes
A feeling comes over me
The warmth of your touch makes me realize
Just how lucky can I be.

Surely he knows and he's sorry now
That he turned your love away
Someone must feel like a fool tonight
Knowing you're here to stay...
