"Number One"
(with Rita Coolidge)

"Number One"
(with Rita Coolidge)



You were conceived at the right time everything about you blows my mind
Thought I'd been in love before now I just got my foot in that door now
There's never been anyone like you for me
All the rest have been two's and three's
Darling from now on and on and on you're gonna be number one
Number one in my book and now in my life
Number one and you're still by my side
Number one is ways I've never known before number one someone I love so

Since you've come along life's been a joy
That's a turn around for this ol' boy
Over me and next to none you're gonna be number one
Over me and next to none you're gonna be number one

"Once More With Feeling"

"Once More With Feeling"



We're just goin' through the motions
of the parts we've learned to play
Never quite together like before
But somehow darlin' something good
got lost along the way
And our song ain't nothing
special anymore

Let's try it one more time
with feeling darlin', take it from the top
Let me feel those tears a fallin' babe
I don't want to miss a single drop
Darlin' make believe your makin'
me believe each word you say
Try it once more with feeling
and we'll call it a day

Ah you're reachin' out to touch me
darlin' just the way you used to do
An you're lookin' everywhere but in my eyes
Well that's an oldy but it's a goody babe
but them words ain't ringin' true
And you don't seem very sure of your life

So try it one more time with feeling
darlin' take it from the top
This one is the big one baby so give
it everything you got
Darlin' make believe your makin' me
believe each word you say
Let's try it once more with feeling
and we'll call it a day

"One For The Money"

"One For The Money"


I've seen you standing there stunned in the spotlight
I've seen the sweat streak the pain on your face
Cause you're caught like a clown in a circle of strangers
Who do you screw to get out of this place

[Chorus:]
It's one for the money
And too far to go
Three fingers of whiskey
Just for the soul
That lady you're pleasin'
Is hungry and cold
Don't look in her eyes
You'll see what you sold

Too many bodies in too many bars
Too many feelings are fallin' behind
Cause you're easy to fool when you're lost in the stars
Shoot out that spotlight before you go blind

[Chorus:]
It's one for the money
And too far to go
Three fingers of whiskey
Just for the soul
That lady you're pleasin'
Is hungry and cold
Don't look in her eyes
You'll see what you sold

"Out Of Mind, Out Of Sight"

"Out Of Mind, Out Of Sight"


Buddy tip your bottle back and climb aboard the bus join your brothers in the van
You ain't bum in Birmingham and you ain't one of us we don't really give a damn

London is a hundred miles away from where we're at and a thousand years behind
Splitin' from the sorry gag that left us feeling flat out of sight and out of mind
Cruisin' through the country side we'll never see again ain't it lonesome out tonight
We've been on this road now since I can't remember when
Out of mind and out of sight
Buddy tip your bottle back...

[guitar]

Yeah I've been everywhere and I've seen any thing there is but I never saw the light
Scared to death of dyin' so I do my best to live out of mind and out of sight
Knowing no one nowhere's gonna miss us when we're gone
Let's keep drinkin' till we're blind
Everybody's sleeping and I'm stuck inside a song out of sight and out of line
Some day when it's over and it's time to settle down and we've left it all behind
We can sit and wonder how we've ever got around
Out of sight and out of mind out of sight and out of mind

"Part Of Your Life"
(with Rita Coolidge)

"Part Of Your Life"
(with Rita Coolidge)



You draw the line and I will walk it.
You say the word and I’ll talk it
Show me your cross and I will bear it.
Tell me your dream and I’ll share it.

[CHORUS:]
I just want to be a part of your life.
Sharin’, carin’ laughin’ and crying
Livin’ and dying… just for you
Just for you… just for you

Sing me you song and I will play it.
Your favorite prayer and I’ll pray it.
Give me your debt and I will take it.
As long as you’re there I can make it.

[CHORUS:]

Just for you…

Just for you…

Just for you…

Just for you…

Just for you…

"Pilgrim's Progress"

"Pilgrim's Progress"



Am I young enough to believe in revolution
Am I strong enough to get down on my knees and pray
Am I high enough on the chain of evolution
To respect myself, and my brother and my sister
And perfect myself in my own peculiar way

I get lazy, and forget my obligations
I'd go crazy, if I paid attention all the time
And I want justice, but I'll settle for some mercy
On this Holy Road through the Universal Mind

I get lazy, and forget my obligations
I'd go crazy, if I paid attention all the time
And I want justice, but I'll settle for some mercy
On this Holy Road through the Universal Mind

I got lucky, I got everything I wanted
I got happy, there wasn't nothing else to do
And I'd be crazy not to wonder if I'm worthy
Of the part I play in this dream that's coming true

I get lazy, and forget my obligations
I'd go crazy, if I paid attention all the time
And I want justice, but I'll settle for some mercy
On this Holy Road through the Universal Mind

"Please Don't Tell Me How The Story Ends"

"Please Don't Tell Me How The Story Ends"



This could be our last good night together
We may never pass this way again.
Just let me enjoy it 'til it's over, or forever
Please don't tell me how the story ends.

See the way our shadows come together
Softer than your fingers on my skin
Someday these may be all we remember of each other
Please don't tell me how the story ends.

Never's just the echo of forever
Lonesome as a love that might have been.
Let me go on lovin' and believin' 'til it's over
Please don't tell me how the story ends.

"Prove It To You One More Time Again"

"Prove It To You One More Time Again"



Nobody's blamin' you.
Don't get me wrong.
I know so many things you done for me.
But you got your life that you gotta live
And I'll get along.
I just wonder who you wanted me to be.

And I just can't believe that you still don't believe in me
Or hold a clue to who I am.
I just hope to God that I still got the heart to take it
And prove it to you one more time again.

So many lies we've told so many times
Maybe it's too late to make it love again
If we got a choice then we gotta chance
We gotta try
And do the story true right to the end.

And I can't believe that you still don't believe in me
And you still don't understand me
I just hope to God that I still got the heart to take it
And prove it to you one more time again.

"Rain"
(with Rita Coolidge)

"Rain"
(with Rita Coolidge)



Rain falling always falling pain hurting never ending
Tear come off tears of sorrow fear after day tomorrow
Cry when there's no use crying goodbye there's no use trying
It all runs together when your love once are gone
And your head spins in circles you're lyin' with your face down and you're afraid

Salvation army band playin' in their all night stand
Rain pourin' from the sky blind people passin' by
No one will help 'em now no one will even try
It all runs together...

This is his time at last (this is his time) his life is fading fast
His faith is fled away (his faith is gone) he tries but cannot break
This is the way we live (this is the way) we take and never give
It all runs together...
Rain falling always falling...
Someone could have helped him but no one would try
Cause their pride wouldn't let them and now he's gonna die there in the rain
Shall we gather at the rain (shall we gather at the river)

"Ramblin' Jack"

"Ramblin' Jack"


I got a friend named Ramblin’ Jack
He’s got a face like a tumbled down shack
That’s been lived in too long to be torn down
He’s high on life and low on luck
And big on driving diesel trucks
And knows the boys that built them by the sound

Most of his lifetime he’s been wasted
On the wine of life he’s tasted
And I guess the rest, Lord, he was stoned
And he’s known to lay his weary head
In some funky, unfamiliar beds
But he was only looking for a home

[Chorus:]
And I know he ain’t afraid of where he’s going
And I’m sure he ain’t ashamed of where he’s been
He has paid a little piece of his soul
For every seed that he’s been sowing
And he made his own mistakes, and love, and friends
Ain’t that what matters in the end

Soulful songs and sailing ships
Put a smile upon his lips
Easy as the laughter in his eyes
And if he knew how good he’d done
Every song he ever sung
I believe he’d truly be surprised

Looking back he’s come so far
Looking at his lucky star
Somewhere, out there, rocking on the road
Risky nights and wasted days
Wild and righteous, wicked ways
Mixing up the music in his soul

[Repeat Chorus]

I got a friend named Ramblin’ Jack
