"Everybody's Rockin'"

"Everybody's Rockin'"



When grandma and grandpa
get out on the floor
They rock until they drop
and then they rock some more
Yeah, everybody's rockin',
well, everybody's rockin'
Everybody's rockin',
rockin' to the dancin' beat.

From the shakey city
down to New Orleans
The Golden Gate
to the Bronx and Queens
Everybody's rockin',
yeah, everybody's rockin',
Well, everybody's rockin',
rockin' to the dancin' beat.

When Ronnie and Nancy
do the bop on the lawn
They're rockin' in the White House
all night long.
Everybody's rockin',
everybody's rockin',
Everybody's rockin',
rockin' their blues away.

Everybody's rockin',
rockin' their blues away
Everybody's rockin',
rockin' all night and day.

Everybody's rockin',
everybody's rockin'
Yeah, everybody's rockin',
everybody's rockin'
Everybody's rockin',
rockin' to the dancin' beat.
Everybody's rockin',
dancin' to the rockin' beat.

"Expecting To Fly"

"Expecting To Fly"



There you stood
on the edge of your feather,
Expecting to fly.
While I laughed,
I wondered whether
I could wave goodbye,
Knowin' that you'd gone.
By the summer it was healing,
We had said goodbye.
All the years
we'd spent with feeling
Ended with a cry,
Babe, ended with a cry,
Babe, ended with a cry.

I tried so hard to stand
As I stumbled
and fell to the ground.
So hard to laugh as I fumbled
And reached for the love I found,
Knowin' it was gone.
If I never lived without you,
Now you know I'd die.
If I never said I loved you,
Now you know I'd try,
Babe, now you know I'd try.
Babe, now you know I'd try,
Babe.

"Extra, Extra"

"Extra, Extra"



Selling papers on the corner,
I saw a man yesterday.
I asked him if he'd wanna
Tell me what made him this way.
He said, when it's born, it's warm,
Then it gathers strength in lies,
When it falls, it falls all over you.

He used to pick his friends.
They left him in the end.
An easy thing to lose,
The right to pick and choose.
When it's born, it's warm,
Then it gathers strength in lies,
When it falls, it falls all over you.

He said he left his wife,
The back-bone of his life.
Another came along,
But now I guess she's gone.
When it's born, it's warm,
Then it gathers strength in lies,
When it falls, it falls all over you.

I think I used to see
That old man on TV,
Can you be the same?
It seems like such a shame.
When it's born, it's warm,
Then it gathers strength in lies,
When it falls, it falls all over you.

The world he thought he knew,
Has better things to do.
As I went on my way
I thought I heard him say:
When it's born, it's warm,
Then it gathers strength in lies,
When it falls, it falls all over you.

"Fallen Angel"

"Fallen Angel"



Fallen angel

Who's your saviour tonight

You're surrounded
by these walls
and neon lights

Hungry people
move like waves
behind the beat

Where's the big drum

Where's the feel
of body heat

Where's the big drum

Where's the feel
of body heat

"Falling From Above"

"Falling From Above"



Grandpa said to cousin jed
Sittin' on the porch,
"i won't retire
But i might retread

Seems like that guy singin' this song
Been doin' it for a long time
Is there anything he knows
That he ain't said?

Sing a song for freedom
Sing a song for love
Sing a song for depressed angels
Falling from above"

Grandpa held the paper
Pretendin' he could see
But he couldn't read without his glasses on

"how can all these people
Afford so many things?
When i was young
People wore what they had on...and mama said

'a little love and affection
In everything you do
Will make the world a better place
With or without you'"

A little love and affection
In everything you do

Slammin' down a late night shot
The hero and the artist compared
Goals and visions and afterthoughts
For the 21st century

But mostly came up with nothin'
So the truth was never learned
And the human race just kept rollin' on

Rollin' through the fighting
Rollin' through the religious wars
Rollin' down the temple walls
And the church's exposed sores

Rollin' through the fighting
The religious wars
Mostly came up with nothin'

"grandpa here's your glasses
You'll see much better now,"
Said that young girl of edith and earl's
But grandpa just kept starin'
He was lost in some distant thought
Then he turned and said
To that young girl

"a little love and affection
In everything you do
Will make the world a better place
With or without you"

With or without you
A better place
With or without you
With or without you

Hear that rooster crowin'
Down on the double e
It's a new morning
Dawning on the green

Bouncing off the towers
And the sun's heading down for the streets
The business meeting
Window shades are drawn

Another morning edition
Headed for the porch
Because grandma puts down the paper
Before grandpa raises his fork

A little love and affection
In everything you do
With or without you

Hear the rooster crowing
Down on the double e

"Falling Off The Face Of The Earth"

"Falling Off The Face Of The Earth"



I just want to thank you
For all of the things you've done
I'm thinking about you
I just want to send my love
I send my best to you
That's my message of love
For all the things you did
I can never thank you enough

Feel like I'm falling
Falling off the face of the earth
Falling off the face of the earth
(Falling)
Feel like I'm falling
Falling off the face of the earth
Falling off the face of the earth

Oh...

I just want to tell you
You sure mean a lot to me
It may sound simple
But you are the world to me
It's such a precious thing
That time we shared together
I must apologize
For the troubled times

Feel like I'm falling
Falling off the face of the earth
(Falling)
Feel like I'm falling
Falling off the face of the earth
Falling off the face of the earth

Oh...

Feel like I'm falling
Falling off the face of the earth
Falling off the face of the earth
(Falling)
Falling off the face of the earth

(Falling)
Feel like I'm falling
Falling off the face of the earth
(Falling)
Feel like I'm falling
Falling off the face of the earth
(Falling)

"Families"

"Families"



When you try to bring our spirit home
Won't you celebrate our lives
In a way that's right for our children
And families

When you write your songs about us
Won't you try to do us justice
Because we want to be just like you
And your families

I see a light ahead
There's a chill wind blowin' in my head
I wish that I was home instead
With my family

There's a universe between us now
But I want to reach our and tell you how
Much you mean to me
And my family

I'm goin' back to the USA
I just got my ticket today
I can't wait to see you again
In the USA.

"Far From Home"

"Far From Home"



When I was a growing boy
A-rocking on my daddy's knee
Daddy took an old guitar and sang
Bury me on the lone prairie
Uncle Bob sat at the piano
My girl cousins sang harmony
Those were the good old family times
That left a big mark on me

Bury me out on the prairie
Where the buffalo used to roam
Where the Canada geese once filled the sky
And then I won't be far from home
Bury me out on the prairie
Where the buffalo used to roam
You won't have to shed a tear for me
'Cause then I won't be far from home

Walking down the trans-Canada highway
I was talking to a firefly
Trying to make my way to Nashville, Tennessee
When another car passed me by

Some day I'm gonna make big money
And buy myself a big old car
Make my way on down to that promised land
And then I'm gonna really go far

Bury me out on the prairie
Where the buffalo used to roam
Where the Canada geese once filled the sky
And then I won't be far from home
Just bury me out on the prairie
Where the buffalo used to roam
You won't have to shed a tear for me
'Cause then I won't be far from home

"Farm Aid Song"

"Farm Aid Song"



Well I hate to say the farmer
Was the last of a dying breed
Living off the land
And taking what he needs
Don't say much for the future
When a family can't survive
I'd hate to say the farmer
Was the last of his kind.

In the struggle for parity
Not one man's voice can sound
Cause the foundation
of the conglomerate
Is firmly in the ground.
Yeah, they want to feed the world
But for power and for greed
Then they'll cut off the supply
Until they get what they need.

Well I dreamed I saw a dust bowl
Where the farmers used to live
Earth was flying through the sky
It had nothing left to give
Tractors were burning
On the Whitehouse lawn
Just woke up one morning
And the farmers all were gone

I hate to say the farmer
Was the last of a dying breed
Living off the land
And taking what he needs.
Don't say much for the future
When a family can't survive.
I'd hate to say the farmer
Was the last of his kind.

Don't say much for the future
When a family can't survive.
I'd hate to say the farmer
Was the last of his kind.
