"Double E"

"Double E"



Back in the country
Livin' on the double e
In the sunshine of her life
There's a ready young filly
And mom and daddy
Won't let her leave
Mom and papa won't let her go

But when they go out dancin'
She breaks out on her own
She's hot enough to
Burn the house down
And mom and daddy don't know

When edith and earl
Renamed the double e
They nearly made history
The neighbors rose up
And some of them were mad as hell
'cause it used to be the double L

Change comes slow in the country
When you're new
There's a lot of distrust
Years pass by uneventful,
And memories turn to dust

Meanwhile granny
Has got her bright colors on
The sunshine in her eyes
Cruisin' by the bars
And honky tonks where she met grandpa
And caught that young man's eye

Dusty white eldorado
Cruisin' through the trees
Slippin' through the shadows
Of what used to be

Back in the day
Livin' in the summer of love
Livin' in the summer of love

Grandma's ok
But not the same since grandpa's gone
She's livin' in the summer of love

Back in the day
Livin' in the summer of love
Livin' in the summer of love

Livin' in the summer of love

Livin' in the summer of love

Livin' in the summer of love

"Down By The River"

"Down By The River"



Be on my side,
I'll be on your side,
baby
There is no reason
for you to hide
It's so hard for me
staying here all alone
When you could be
taking me for a ride.

Yeah, she could drag me
over the rainbow,
send me away
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river,
Dead, oh, shot her dead.

You take my hand,
I'll take your hand
Together we may get away
This much madness
is too much sorrow
It's impossible
to make it today.

Yeah, she could drag me
over the rainbow,
send me away
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river,
Dead, oh, shot her dead.

Be on my side,
I'll be on your side,
baby
There is no reason
for you to hide
It's so hard for me
staying here all alone
When you could be
taking me for a ride.

Yeah, she could drag me
over the rainbow,
send me away
Down by the river
I shot my baby
Down by the river,
Dead, oh, shot her dead.

"Down Down Down"

"Down Down Down"



Come to see her in the river?
She'll be there to wave to you.
In the hope that you'll forgive her,
She will join you there...

Find out that now was
the answer to answers,
that you gave later.
She did the things that
we both did before now,
but who forgave her.

Now you see how down you've fallen,
Now you hear your conscious call.
Thank yourself alone for stallin',
I'm not there to call...

Call me a fool cause
I need her, and see her,
but now you're down.
Something inside you
will tell you I'm wise to
what you're spreadin' round.

If I could stand to see her cryin',
I would tell her not to care.
When she learns of all your lyin',
Would she join you there...?

Find out that now was
the answer to answers,
that you gave later.

"Down To The Wire"

"Down To The Wire"



Every time you touch her
sets your hands on fire,
And every thing you've got
is all that she requires.
And you hang on, hang on, hang on
to the words of a liar.
You can feel it getting
down to the wire.

All the hurt you thought was gone
has now returned,
And every thing she's laughing at
is all you learned.
And you let go, let go, let go,
'cause you know you're getting tired.
Can you feel it getting
down to the wire?

Take the time to close your
eyes and look around,
'Cause anyone who helped you out
can let you down.
And look out, look out, look out,
the voice is now the choir.
Can you feel it getting
down to the wire?

"Downtown"

"Downtown"


There's a place called Downtown
Where the hippies all go
And they dance the charleston
And they do the limbo
Yeah the hippies all go there
'Cause they want to be seen
It's like a room
full of pictures
It's like a psychedelic dream

Downtown
Let's go downtown
Downtown at night
Downtown
Let's have a party
Downtown at night

Yeah it's
right around the corner
Up and down the hill
When you hear the band playin'
It's gonna give you a chill
Give your money to the gateman
Young blood in his eye
Hold on to your baby
When you slip into the sky

Downtown
Let's go downtown
Downtown tonight
Downtown
Hear the band playin'
Downtown all right

[solo]

Jimi's playin' in the back room
Led Zeppelin on stage
There's a mirror ball twirlin'
And a note from Page
Like a water-washed diamond
In a river of sin
Goin' down like a whirlpool
When you get sucked in

Downtown
Let's go downtown
Downtown tonight
Downtown
Hear the band playin'
Downtown all right

[solo]

Downtown
Let's go downtown
Downtown tonight
Downtown
Let's have a party
Downtown all right

"Dream Machine"

"Dream Machine"



Live to ride,
ride my dream machine
Good conditions
sometime are extreme
Running from the daily grind
He was, he was a friend of mine
Gonna take a long, long time
But the stain will fade away
Running from the daily grind
He was, he was a friend of mine.

Live to ride,
ride in the lonesome wind
Cross the line,
you can't come back again
Never let a dream machine
Gather dust in your garage
Gonna take a long, long time
But the stain will fade away
Running from the daily grind
He was, he was a friend of mine.

Gonna take a long, long time
But the stain will fade away
Running from the daily grind
He was, he was a friend of mine.

Live to ride,
ride my dream machine.

"Dream That Can Last"

"Dream That Can Last"



I feel like I died
and went to Heaven
The cupboards are bare
but the streets
are paved with gold

I saw a young girl who didn't die
I saw a glimmer from in her eye
I saw the distance, I saw the past
And I know I won't awaken,
it's a dream that can last

I feel like I died
and went to Heaven
The cupboards are bare
but the streets
are paved with gold

And all the lights
were turned down low
And no one wondered or had to go
Out on the corner the angels say
There is a better life
for me someday

I feel like I died
and went to Heaven
The cupboards are bare
but the streets
are paved with gold

"Dreamin' Man"

"Dreamin' Man"



I'm a dreamin' man,
yes, that's my problem
I can't tell
when I'm not being real.
In the meadow dusk
I park my Aerostar
With a loaded gun
and sweet dreams of you.

I'll always be a dreamin' man
I don't have to understand
I know it's alright.

I see your curves and
I feel your vibrations
You dressed in black and white,
you lost in the mall
I watch you disappear
past Club Med Vacations
Another sleepless night,
a sun that won't fall.

I'll always be a dreamin' man
I don't have to understand
I know it's alright.

Now the night is gone,
a new day is dawning
And our homeless dreams
go back to the street
Another time or place,
another civilization
Would really make
this life feel so complete.

I'll always be a dreamin' man
I don't have to understand
I know it's alright.

Dreamin' man
He's got a problem
Dreamin' man
Dreamin' man
He's got a problem
Dreamin' man.

"Drifter"

"Drifter"



I'm just a drifter
I'll stay until you
try to tie me down
I'm not a quitter, baby
I'd like to stay and see
the whole thing go down.

Don't try to tell me
What I gotta do to fit
Don't try to rescue me,
I'm gonna go with my ship.

What about you, did I ever
take a thing from you?
What about me, how do I know
that your love is true?
What about you,
how can I count on you
to count on me?

I like to drive my car
If I've got someplace to go
I like to feel the wheel
Put down the top
and let it roll.

Don't try to fence me in,
Don't try to slow me down
Don't try to speed me up,
Or tie my feet
down to the ground.

What about you, did I ever
take a thing from you?
What about me, how do I know
that your love is true?
What about you,
how can I count on you
to count on me?

I'm just a drifter
I'll stay until
you try to tie me down
Don't try to rescue me,
Don't try to rescue me
I like to feel the wheel,
I like to feel the wheel
I like to feel the wheel.

"Driftin' Back"

"Driftin' Back"



Hey now now, hey now now
I'm driftin' back

Hey now now, hey now now
I'm driftin' back

Dreaming about the way things sound now
Write about them in my book
Worry that you can't hear me now
And feel the time I took

To help you feel this feeling
Let you ride along
Dreaming about the way you feel now
When you hear my song

I'm driftin' back
I'm driftin' back
I'm driftin' back
I'm driftin' back

I'm driftin' back
I'm driftin' back
I'm driftin' back
I'm driftin' back

In my meditation
I block out all my thoughts
When they come back I push them out
Like Jesus had a rock

They pushed in front of this cave now
They rolled across the ground
Hey now now, hey now now
They rolled across the ground

I'm driftin' back
I'm driftin' back
I'm driftin' back
I'm driftin' back

I'm driftin' back
I'm driftin' back
I'm driftin' back
I'm driftin' back

I'm driftin' back

Here's how I got my mantra
Gave them thirty five bucks now
Gave it to the Maharishi
It went to the organisation

Excuse my religion
Dreaming ‘bout the way things feel now
Write it in my book
Blocking out all the thoughts now

I'm driftin' back
I'm driftin' back
I'm driftin' back
I'm driftin' back

Hey now now, hey now now
I'm driftin' back

Hey now now, hey now now
I'm driftin' back

I'm driftin' back

I used to dig Picasso
I used to dig Picasso
Hey now now, hey now now
I used to dig Picasso

Then the big tech giant came along
And turned him into wallpaper
Hey now now, hey now now
I used to dig Picasso

I'm driftin' back
I'm driftin' back
I'm driftin' back
I'm driftin' back

Don't want my mp3
Don't want my mp3

I'm driftin' back
I'm driftin' back
I'm driftin' back
I'm driftin' back

I'm driftin' back

When you hear my song now
You only get five percent
You used to get it all
You used to get it all

Blocking out my anger
Blocking out my thoughts
Blocking out my anger now
Blocking out my thoughts

I'm driftin' back
I'm driftin' back
I'm driftin' back
I'm driftin' back

I'm driftin' back
I'm driftin' back
I'm driftin' back
I'm driftin' back

I'm driftin' back
I'm driftin' back
I'm driftin' back
I'm driftin' back

Gonna get me a hip hop haircut
Gonna get a hip hop haircut
Gonna get a hip hop haircut
Hey now now, hey now now

Hey now now, hey now now
Blocking out my anger
Finding my religion
I might be a Pagan

I'm driftin' back
I'm driftin' back
I'm driftin' back
I'm driftin' back
