"Stranger In A Strange Land"

"Stranger In A Strange Land"


How many days has it been
Since I was born
How many days until I die
Do I know any ways
That I can make you laugh
Or do I only know how to make you cry

When the baby looks around him
It's such a sight to see
He shares a simple secret
With the wise man

He's a stranger in a strange land
Just a stranger in a strange land
Tell me why
He's a stranger in a strange land
Just a stranger in a strange land

How many miles will it take
To see the sun
And how many years until it's done
Kiss my confusion away in the night
Lay by side when the morning comes

And the baby looks around him
And shares his bed of hay
With the burro in the palace of the king

He's a stranger in a strange land
Tell me why
He's a stranger in a strange land
Just a stranger in a strange land

Well, I don't exactly know
What's going on in the world today
Don't know what there is to say
About the way the people are treating
Each other, not like brothers

Leaders take us far away from ecology
With mythology and astrology
Has got some words to say
About the way we live today
Why can't we learn to love each other
It's time to turn a new face
To the whole world wide human race

Stop the money chase
Lay back, relax
Get back on the human track
Stop racing toward oblivion
Oh, such a sad, sad state we're in
And that's a thing

Do you recognize the bells of truth
When you hear them ring
Won't you stop and listen
To the children sing
Won't you come on and sing it children

He's a stranger in a strange land
Just a stranger in a strange land

"Struck By Lightning"

"Struck By Lightning"


On a cold and lonely night
I came into your life
That's when I realized
That I was struck by lightning
It's so frightening
But it's so exciting
Being here with you
How long has it been?
Three hundred years or ten?
Oh, but it's coming 'round again
I'm like struck by lightning
Oh, so frightening
Oh, it's so exciting
Being here with you
Oh, whispers and screaming in the darkest hour
Silence in the light of day
Oh, there's not one single way to know
Nor any words to say
You better play
Oh, whispers and screaming in the darkest hour
Silence in the light of day
Oh, there's not one single way to know
Nor so many words to say
Well, I'm struck by lightning
Well, I'm struck by lightning
So exciting
Being here with
Struck by lightning
Struck by lightning, ow
Struck by lightning
Struck by lightning

"Summertime"
(with Willie Nelson)



Summertime
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high

Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry

One of these mornings
You're going to rise up singing
Then you'll spread your wings
And you'll fly to the sky

But till that morning
There's a'nothing can harm you
With daddy and mamma standing by

Summertime
And the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin'
And the cotton is high

Your daddy's rich
And your mamma's good lookin'
So hush little baby
Don't you cry

"Sweet Emily"

"Sweet Emily"


All right,

There’s a lady I know,
And I'm lucky to say,
She's a woman in everyway,
Cause she weeps just like a widow,
When her hate is clouding up my day.

When she touches my eyes,
She takes my heart in here hand,
If you'd knew that child you'd plainly see,
When she laughs I realize,
I'm in love with my sweet Emily

Woo, she knows how to boogie,
Like a honky tonk queen,
But she tell me what is down and real

She's a dancin' delight,
And to make me feel good,
If I need forgiven, lord I’d know she would

Just one in the world,
And it's a natural thing,
She can put right back on the right track.
Oh, she can leave me on my knee.
You know 'I’m talkin' 'bout my sweet Emily.

Oh now, you can't guess the reason
For the way that I've been
But her love can always tell you were your heart is.

No way to explain,
With whole world in chains
But know that girl will always remain the same.

What more can I say
No words can describe
A feeling I have inside

For if you look in my eyes
You'll know I love my sweet Emily

Yah

If you look in my eyes
You'll know I love my sweet Emily

Take a time

If you look in my eyes
You'll know I love my sweet Emily

"Sweet Mystery"

"Sweet Mystery"


Oh, I can't explain the reason why
The almond lady caught my eye
Well, I don't even know why I try
Just call it sweet mystery
Oh, and I don't even know if it's really me
Who tried to see the girl I wanted you to be
So I taste these tears from my eyes
With salty sweet mystery
Sad lights along the Houston highway
Another man dead from the truckin' game
The very first night you disillusioned my way
Another love dies, and it's such a crying shame
Oh darlin', I'm feeling the rain fallin' from the stormy skies
When you say you love me, you got tears in your eyes
Whoa, I guess there's no need to say goodbye
It was such a sweet mystery

"Tenderly"
(with Willie Nelson)

"Tenderly"
(with Willie Nelson)



The evening breeze caressed the trees tenderly
The trembling trees embraced the breeze tenderly
Then you and I came wanderin' by and lost in a sigh were we
The shore was kissed by sea and mist tenderly
I can't forget how two hearts met breathlessly
Your arms opened wide and closed me inside
You took my lips you took my love so tenderly

The shore was kissed by sea...

"That Lucky Old Sun"

"That Lucky Old Sun"


Up in the mornin' out on the job, work like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day
Fuss with my woman toil for my kids
Sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray
While that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day
Good Lawd above, can't you know I'm pinin'
Tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with a silver linin'
Lift me to paradise
Show me that river
Take me across and wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day
Up in the mornin' out on the job,
Work like the devil for my pay
But that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day
Fuss with my woman toil for my kids
Sweat 'til I'm wrinkled and gray
While that lucky old sun has nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day
Good Lawd above, can't you know I'm pinin'
Tears all in my eyes
Send down that cloud with a silver linin'
Lift me to paradise
Show me that river
Take me across and wash all my troubles away
Like that lucky old sun, give me nothin' to do
But roll around heaven all day

"The Ballad Of Mad Dogs And Englishmen"

"The Ballad Of Mad Dogs And Englishmen"


Let me see here…
Kids, planes, runway strikes
Flashy pimps and family fights
Spotted dogs, blood-shot eyes
Our space captain laughs and tries
To understand the scheme of things
But just in time the scene has changed
The bus is here, bring the beer
Sherman's reading Shakespeare
Movie makers, boobie shakers
And Saxy airplane ticket takers
Union members
Leo Fender's pride and joy - electric toy
Teachers, learners, incense burners
Religious leaders and chronic bleeders
Thieves and pirates on a ride
It's a hippie commune bonafied
Life and time, war death dealers
Rock pop correspondence fever
But Okies and Limeys, curtain climbers
Stones and future Dominoes
Know which way the wind blows
Stolen cola no one knows
The shadow do
But it's still a shady crew
'Cause I love her, and she loves you
Just myself and forty friends
In the name of Cocker power
Out here on the road again
With Mad Dogs and Englishmen

"The Battle Of New Orleans"

"The Battle Of New Orleans"


In 1814, we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip'
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
And we caught the bloody British in a town in New Orleans
We fired our guns and the British kept a-coming
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more, and they began to running,
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
We looked down the river and we see'd the British come
and there musta' been a hundred of 'em beating on the drum
They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring
We stood beside our cotton bales and didn't say a thing
We fired our guns, and the British kept a-coming
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they began to running,
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
