"The Party's Over (Everybody's Gone)"

"The Party's Over (Everybody's Gone)"


Goodbye Hawkeye, So long Houlihan
B.J. and Klinger, Winchester and
Father Mulcahy and Colonel Potter gone
The party is over but the players will live on

The party's over everybody's gone
Now I know just how it feels
To really be alone
Was his Dad down at the station
When he reached Crab Apple Cove
His Mama waving from the kitchen
Was his cow down by the road

Did they throw a bash in Boston
Were the little girls all grown
Did they turn out in Toledo
To watch a man come marching home

Laughter was the remedy
You prescribed for every wound
Even suicide was painless
You even laughed at doom

Every week it was something
That needed to be shown
You sometimes hid the message
But you always brought it home

"The Shelter Of Your Eyes"

"The Shelter Of Your Eyes"


In the shelter of your eyes
I have finally learned my song
It took so long to realize
I just can't make it all alone

Words are only what they say
But this feeling isn't wrong
And I'm so glad I found my way
It's good to be where I belong

And I'm gonna stay right hear cause
I'm in rhythm with your eyes
Tune out the world and rest my head
In the shelter of your eyes

In the shelter of your eyes
I have finally learned my song
I'm so glad I found my way
It's good to be where I belong

"The War To End All Wars"

"The War To End All Wars"


Sing the baby off to sleep
Turn off his Mickey Mouse light
Stand alone in the darkness
Prepare yourself for the fight

Across the ocean friends are dying
Here at home it's much the same
Don't cry now precious lady
You know you're not to blame

The sky was clean
And the trees were green
And the earth was a place of joy
When I was a boy

"The Way I Came In"

"The Way I Came In"


The words won't come out easy
And the time just drags on by
The fingers touch
But there is no feeling
And the eyes they can not lie

My thoughts are of leaving
Cos I lives is no longer real
The time has come
To face the music
And recognize the way I feel

I've reached the point
That it's time for me
To start it all over again
I may be going now
With nothing but my pride
But that's the way that I came in
That's the way that I came in

The hurt is way past hurting
And the tears have long since dried
Our love is no longer living
It is the time for good bye

That's the way that I came in
I'm going out the way that I came in

"Then I Met You"

"Then I Met You"


Well I never saw a sunset
Or a tree
And I never heard a crow caw
Just for me
I was like a wheel stuck in a rut
Until I gave a chimpanzee a nut
I never saw a flower red and bright
I never saw the stars come out at night
Never liked Thanksgiving or Christmas
Time or my mind
Then I met you
Then I met you

Well I never saw the rain
Fall from the sky
And I never heard a cloud
Talk in my eye
I never saw the old man in the moon
And I've always hated Sunday afternoon
I never knew a baby had to touch
Because her world is not that much
I never really gave this life a chance at all
Then I met you
Then I met you
Thank god I met you

"There Ain't No Way"

"There Ain't No Way"


The dirty rain is falling
I hear the wind a calling me away
The motel sign is flashing
And in my mind I'm crashing what to say.
What to say

The words they started flowing
And passions started growing like years ago
The wine made my mind crazy
But now I'm not so hazy I gotta go
I Gotta Go

The love we made today
It was just a foolish way
To try to bring back yesterday there ain't no way.

The dirty rain is falling
And in my mind it's calling me away
I'm staring at the ceiling
I can't let that feeling make me stay.
I Just Can't Stay

"Thinking Of You"

"Thinking Of You"


When I got back to Atlanta
A whole lot worse for the wear
I may have lost the world I love
But at least I had been there
Lonesome, hurt and worried
With not a lot to do
Driving down Stone Mountain Road
Trying not to think of you

The southern woods are warm
And still
They lay good on my mind
And surely but so slowly
I'm starting to unwind
Trying not to think of things
That you did or didn't do
Here I am once again
Trying not to think of you

But I all do is think of you
And where you might be now
What's new with you?
Do you still have Boo?
I gotta find a way some how
To stop thinking of you

I wonder who I'll find this time
To turn my head for awhile
Maybe I'll pick a Georgia peach
Or maybe walk a mile
Whichever way it
Don't much make a damn what I do
'Cause either way I'll spend my time
Trying not to think of you

"This Old Love"

"This Old Love"


Why can't I turn and walk away
Why am I looking for one more thing to say
My heart has nailed my feet to the floor
I cannot make my body move towards the door

This old love sure is hard to kill
It just wants to stay alive
This old love has an iron will
It just will not die

Just when we think it's finally gone
We find a little string that
Keeps it hanging on
Then we both pull until we ache
But I don't think that string is
Ever gonna break

"Three Pick-Ups"

"Three Pick-Ups"


I delivered papers in the
Early morning rain - Oh what a pain
Getting up and going to school after that
But I saved my pennies and
I saved my dimes
Bought a Fender Stratocaster
On time
Had the best guitar around
And that's a fact

It had three pick-ups
And a tremolo bar
A hard-shell case designed for a star
I couldn't play much
It didn't matter to me
I thought I was Duane Eddy

Music wasn't much back then
I can still remember when
The boys asked me to join their band
People liked my guitar
So I stood in the light
And it seemed that after every night
It was me who always got
The biggest hand

"Toll Road"

"Toll Road"


I got me a girl on the other side of Big River
And you know that every night time I have to be with her
There's only one bridge across Big River
And it's a problem to me
I got to give the man a nickel and a quarter
And that's a fortune to me

Toll Road, T'sa toll road

For a poor hard workin' boy like me it seems funny
That every time I want lovin' I've got to pay money
I've got to take something down to the pawn shop man
And get less than it's worth
I don't mind the nickels
It's the quarters that hurt

Toll road, t'sa toll road
I got to spend my money to see my baby
Got to get me a ticket at the little station
Toll road, t'sa toll road
