"It Sure Was (Love)"

"It Sure Was (Love)"

They said, "What do you think you would do
If she told you that she'd been untrue?"
I'd say, "I won't say I won't be sorry, no.
It sure was love while it lasted."

They said, "How will you feel deep inside
When the love you believed in has died?"
I ain't sayin' it won't hurt me
It sure was love while it lasted

I'll be livin off of the good times
That you've given me to face
I have had my share of the sunshine
I can stand a little rain.

So we don't give a damn what they say
We've go something they can't take away
'Cause whatever comes tomorrow
It sure was love while it lasted

It sure was good while it lasted
It sure was love while it lasted.

"It's All Over (All Over Again)"
(with Rita Coolidge)

"It's All Over (All Over Again)"
(with Rita Coolidge)

I know you know I'm sorry
And you know that I feel the same
We've grown too lonesome together (Oh, yes we have)
And all that we share is the blame.
Let's take a chance while there's something to say
Oh darling, don't throw it away
We know that we've both got so much to lose
And the rest of our lifetime to pay
We could be good to each other (Yes, we could)
Better than we've ever been
Oh, darlin' we're starting all over
It's all over, all over again
I know, we could be good to each other (Yes, we could)
Better than we've ever been
Oh, darlin', we're starting all over
It's all over, all over again.
It's all over, all over again.

"It's Never Gonna Be The Same Again"

"It's Never Gonna Be The Same Again"

All we've ever owed each other for the time we spent together
Was the right to know it's over when it's gone
What it wasn't doesn't matter and it still don't feel no better
Just to know who done who righteously or wrong
Lord I wish that I could say I could see a single way
That we could take it back to where it used to be
Before the daylight broke to pieces everything I used to make believe
And it's never gonna be the same again I'm sorry we can't even still be friends
Trusting you has left some wounds that time ain't gonna mend
And it's a never gonna be the same again

[guitar]

It's a shame to know it's over and you're nothing but another
Pretty thing that I don't do before I die
But the saddest part of all is never knowin' if you'll ever even wonder why
And it's never gonna be the same...
Oh you can't never gonna be the same again

"Jesse Jackson"

"Jesse Jackson"

He was walking with your brother on the streets of Alabama
He was marching next to Martin when he died
Working face to face in Cuba and Managua Nicaragua
He did not yet beat the devil, but he tried

Hold on brother, Jesse Jackson
There's a better world a'coming
Where a man can hope a man will show some heart
You just keep right on believing
In the better side of human
They ain't ready for it yet, but it's a start
And you move'em when you hit'em in the heart

We must bring it all together we must start right from the bottom
Back to helping one another when we can
'Cause if he's hungry and he's human and he's fighting for his Freedom
Then he shouldn't be too hard to understand

Hold on brother, Jesse Jackson
There's a better world a'coming
Where a man can hope a man will show some heart
You just keep right on believing
In the better side of human
They ain't ready for you yet, but it's a start
And you move'em when you hit'em in the heart

Hold on brother, Jesse Jackson
There's a better world a'coming
Where a man can hope a man will show some heart
You just keep right on believing
In the better side of human
They ain't ready for you yet, but it's a start
And you move'em when you hit'em in the heart

"Jesse Younger"

"Jesse Younger"

Little Jesse Younger was a well respected lad
Doing all he could to please his mommy and his dad
But he never planned to be the man
They said that he'd become
And somehow or another Jesse's little baby brother
Is his father's and his mother's only son

Ev'ry day the neighbors say that it's a dirty shame
The way he spat upon his family and scandalized their name
And his parents never really ever said he'd been disowned
But somehow or another now his little baby brother
Is his father's and his mother's only son

Oh, Jesse Younger you're a devil not a man
Can you dare to treat your parents so unkind?
You have selfishly refused to live your life the way they planned
And you've started going your own way and speaking your own mind.

Jesse Younger's parents wonder where it all went wrong
Now that Jesse's name has turned to ashes on their tongues
But he chose to starve and try to carve a future of his own
And he got his druthers because now his younger brother
Is his father's and his mother's only son.

Oh, Jesse Younger, you're a devil not a man
Can you dare to treat your parents so unkind?
You have selfishly refused to live your life the way they planned
And you've started going your own way and speaking your own mind.

"Jesus Was A Capricorn"

"Jesus Was A Capricorn"

Jesus was a Capricorn
He ate organic food
He believed in love and peace
And never wore no shoes

Long hair, beard and sandles
And a funky bunch of friends
Reckon we'd just nail him up
If he came down again

[Chorus:]
'Cause everybody's gotta have somebody to look down on
Prove they can be better than at any time they choose
Someone doin' somethin' dirty decent folks can frown on
If you can't find nobody else, then help yourself to me

Eggheads fussin' rednecks cussin'
Hippies for their hair
Others laugh at straights who laugh at
Freaks who laugh at squares

Some folks hate the Whites
Who hate the Blacks who hate the Klan
Most of us hate anything that
We don't understand

[Chorus]

"Jody And The Kid"

"Jody And The Kid"

She would meet me in the mornin', on my way down to the river
Waitin' patient by the Chinaberry tree
With her feet already dusty, from the pathway to the levee
And her little blue jeans rolled up to her knees

I'd pay her no attention, as she tagged along beside me
Tryin' hard to copy everything I did
But I couldn't keep from smilin', when I'd hear somebody sayin'
Looky yonder there goes Jody and the kid

Even after we grew older, we could still be seen together
As we walked along the levee holdin' hands
For as surely as the seasons, she was changin' to a woman
And I'd lived enough to call myself a man

And she often lay beside me, in the coolness of the evenin'
Till the morning sun was shinin' on my bed
And at times when she was sleepin', I would smile when I'd remember
How they use to call us Jody and the kid

Now the world's a little older, and the years have changed the river
'Cause there's houses where they didn't used to be
And on Sundays I go walkin', down the pathway to the levee
With another little girl who follows me

And it makes the old folks smile, to see her tag along beside me
Doin' little things the way her mama did
But it gets a little lonesome, when I hear somebody sayin'
Looky yonder, there goes Jody, and the kid

"Johnny Lobo"

"Johnny Lobo"

Once upon a dusty reservation
Somewhere in the land of Sitting Bull
Johnny Lobo played with fire and dreamed of open spaces
Locked inside a heaven gone to hell
All the dreams were gone but not forgotten
Murdered like the holy buffalo
But Johnny Lobo knew the rules and grew into a warrior
Fighting for his people and his soul

Oh...... Johnny Lobo
Oh...... Johnny Lobo

Loaded down with lessons that he carried
Home from Viet Nam to Wounded Knee
Johnny Lobo burned a flag he knew had been dishonored
Paid the price for thinking he was free
Someone set his house on fire, burned it to the ground
With his wife and children locked inside
Later when the bitter tears were falling to the ashes
Something good in Johnny Lobo died

Oh...... Johnny Lobo
Oh...... Johnny Lobo

In a darkened corner of a tavern
Burning down old memories again
Johnny Lobo stares into the smoke and dream of clouds
Running like wild horses with the wind
Holy Phoenix rising from the ashes
Into the circle of the sun
Johnny Lobo's warrior heart was burnished in the embers
And the battle's just begun

Oh...... Johnny Lobo
Oh...... Johnny Lobo

"Josie"

"Josie"

I've been chasing after Josie since the day I could run
Even though I didn't know it at the time
And I followed her from Texas 'til she found me undone
Just a jump ahead of what I left behind.

She was proud of her young body as a body could be
On her way to be a woman of the world
And I still can see her smiling as she gave it to me
Lookin' like a lonesome little girl.

[Chorus:]
Josie, is it true that you've grown harder than your years
Sellin' them your sadness on the street
How much did you lose between the laughter and the tears
Gettin' back the bitter for the sweet

Well, she loved me back to livin' at a time I was lost
With the closest thing to love I've ever known
And she led me through some bridges I was burnin' to cross
Then she went and burned some bridges of her own.

Now the road's a little colder every time that I leave
For another empty place I've never been
And I don't suppose it's likely that she's lookin' for me
But someday I may just chase her down again.

[Chorus:]
Josie, is it true that you've grown harder than your years
Sellin' them your sadness on the street
How much did you lose between the laughter and the tears
Gettin' back the bitter for the sweet

"Just Suppose"

"Just Suppose"

You’re going back now and I guess you think she’s waiting
‘Cause she’s waited there so many times before
I suppose that you suppose that she’s still crying
Like the way she was when you walked out that door

And I imagine you intend to say you’re sorry
For the sorry things you always seem to do
Yes I guess you feel ashamed and I can’t really say I blame you
I suppose I’d feel the same if I were you

You took your time to get your mind together
And gave her time to find somebody else
But if she’s not true, Lord, who are you to blame her
You know you’ve been untrue a time or two yourself

And I expect you to expect me to feel guilty
For not giving back the love you threw away
But just suppose you really love her now like I do
What do you suppose you’d do if you were me
