"Me And Bobby McGee"

"Me And Bobby McGee"


Busted flat in Baton rouge
Headin' for the train
Feelin' nearly faded as my jeans
Bobby thumbed a diesel down
Just before it rained
Took us all the way to New Orleans
I took my harpoon out of my dirty red bandanna
I was blowin' sad while Bobby sang the blues
With them windshield wipers slappin' time
And Bobby clappin' hands
We finally sang up every song that driver knew

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
Buddy, that was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee

From the coal mines of Kentucky
To the California sun
Bobby shared the secrets of my soul
Standin' right beside me
Through everything I've done
And every night he kept me from the cold
Then somewhere near Salinas
I let him slip away
Lookin' for the home I hope he'll find
And I'll trade all my tomorrows for a single yesterday
Holdin' Bobby's body next to mine

Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose
And nothin' ain't worth nothin' but it's free
Feelin' good was easy, Lord, when Bobby sang the blues
Buddy, that was good enough for me
Good enough for me and Bobby McGee
Enough for me and Bobby McGee
Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
I let him slip away
Lookin' for the home I hope he finds
Enough for me and my Bobby McGee
Enough for me and my Bobby McGee, yeah

"Moth To A Flame"

"Moth To A Flame"


Here again drawn like a moth to a flame
An invisible force pulling me close to you
I can't break free
There's some kind of hold over me
Like a magnet, you attract me like steel

I'm a kamikaze pilot, it's a one-way one flight
Getting to you is getting to me
Must be lack of oxygen
I'm a do or die fanatic, no rationale
Cause anyone else could tell
You don't stand a snowball's chance in hell

Moth to a flame
A fatal attraction
I'm flying too close to the sun
Sooner or later, you're gonna get burned
Moth to a flame
A lethal reaction
I'm loving you under the gun
It's just a matter of time before I get

Over my head in your quicksand bed
The more I struggle the more I'm sucked in
Here again drawn like a moth to a flame
An invisible force pulling me close to you

I'm a kamikaze pilot, it's a one-way one flight
Getting to you is getting to me
Must be lack of oxygen
I'm a do or die fanatic, no rationale
Cause anyone else could tell
You don't stand a snowball's chance in hell

"Mother's Christmas Wish"

"Mother's Christmas Wish"


I wish you love
A life to share
And when you find
Someone to care
I hope that time
Is kind to you
And that all your dreams come true
This is a mother's Christmas wish for you

I wish you peace
Of heart and mind
To use your strength
But still be kind
To learn to give
To learn to lose
To live with truth in all you do
This is a mother's Christmas wish for you

And when you wake on Christmas day
With children of your own
I know then you'll see
What you've been to me
You are the greatest gift of all

A child was born
On Christmas day
A shining star
To lead the way
And Mary's love
Was pure and true
And that's the way that I love you
I pray that love would guide you through
This is a mother's Christmas wish for you

"Music Makes My Day"

"Music Makes My Day"


Music makes my day
It warms an empty place when you're away
Music makes my day
Love you are my song
Your melody's so soft
Your love so strong
Love you are my song

And though good fortune seems a long time calling
The sadness creeps into my song
My pearly friend will gently soothe me
And sing along

Music makes my day
It seems my waiting hours just fly away
Music makes my day
If I lost my friend
His loving words no more
My song would end
If I lost my friend

And though good fortune seems a long time calling
The sadness creeps into my song
My pearly friend will gently soothe me
And sing along

Music makes my day
It warms an empty place when you're away
Music makes my day
You know it makes it

"My Old Man's Got A Gun"

"My Old Man's Got A Gun"


Hey boy, I better warn you
To make your reservation
Your exit's overdue
I can only promise he ain't the soul to laugh
I've known him long enough to speak on his behalf

My old man's got a gun
And he knows you're a tricky one
He can't fail to make you run
And I don't need you
My old man's got a wife
And she loves him and her life
Silver tongue could be his strife
And I don't need you

Hey boy, don't let him fool you
I'll tell you something about him, gonna cool you
He'll get you in a corner
And make you really crawl
You'll never realize
A man could feel so small

My old man's got a gun
And he knows you're a tricky one
He can't fail to make you run
And I don't need you
My old man's got a wife
And she loves him and her life
Silver tongue could be his strife
And I don't need you

I don't need you, I don't need you
Hey boy, I better warn you
To make your reservation

"Never Enough"

"Never Enough"


Twelve hours a day ain't such a long time
It's only a means to an end
He thinks that his pay will buy her devotion
But he's only payin' for her to pretend
What more can he do but give her his heart
Wrapped up in a love so sincere
Lookin' around at all that they have
It seems clear

That it's never enough, never never enough
Why is all that we have simply never enough?
No it's never enough, never never enough
It's so sad
Is anything ever enough?

She ran out of time for people who loved her
Their love couldn't get her nowhere
Isn't it sad she started collecting
Friends who are strangers but she doesn't care
Surrounding herself with phonies and fools
Who tell her what she wants to hear
Looking around at all that they have it seems clear

That it's never enough, never never enough
Why is all that we have simply never enough?
No it's never enough, never never enough
It's so sad
Is anything ever enough?

Why must we want so much more than we have?
Will we never be satisfied?
Just look around
How can we feel so denied?

But it's never enough, never never enough
Why is all that we have simply never enough?
No, it's never enough, never never enough
It's so sad
Is anything ever enough?
Enough
[Repeats]

"Never Far Away"

"Never Far Away"


Every day I'd wake and ask myself
"Was I strong enough for you?"
Foolish doubts and fears took me away
I'm sorry now you never knew

For so long, I've wondered where you are
Underneath a tapestry of stars
In my heart, I knew you'd come again
I just didn't know where or when

Heaven waits for us, through loves open door
And it's brought you back to me once more
Heart don't fail me now, now that you are near
Love was never far away from here

I have tried to make some sense of this
Guess, I needed time away
Once I realized how foolish I've been
I couldn't waste another day

I forgive you with my heart and soul
And now it's time for us to lose control
Take me in your arms like you did before
Darling, don't talk anymore

Heaven waits for us, through loves open door
And it's brought you back to me once more
Heart don't fail me now, now that you are near
Love was never far away from here

Somewhere deep inside I always knew
That I was meant to spend my life with you
You're the only answer to my prayers
I knew that love would lead us back somewhere

Through love's open door
And it's brought you back to me once more
Heart don't fail me now, now that you are near
Love was never far away from here

"Never The Less / As Time Goes By"

"Never The Less / As Time Goes By"


Maybe I'm right and maybe I'm wrong
Maybe I'm weak and maybe I'm strong
But never the less I'm in love with you

Maybe I'll win and maybe I'll lose
And maybe I'm in for crying the blues
But never the less I'm in love with you

Somehow I know at a glance
The terrible chances I'm taking
Fine at the start
Then left with a heart that is breaking

Maybe I'll live a life of regret
And maybe I'll give much more than I get
But never the less
I'm in love with you

You must remember this
A kiss is just a kiss
A sigh is still a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by

And when true love is true
They still say I love you
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by

Moonlight and love songs
Never out of date
Hearts full of passion
Jeaslousy and hate
Woman needs man
And man must have his mate
That no one can deny

It's still the same old story
A fight for love and glory
A case of do or die
The world will always welcome lovers
As time goes by

But never the less
I'm in love with you
Never the less I'm in love

"New-Born Babe"

"New-Born Babe"


New-born babe
Don't know nothing 'bout the ways of the world
Or astronauts upon the moon, or witches on brooms
New-born babe
Don't know nothing 'bout the politics of people
Or chess pieces, or old churches
You just know your mother

New-born babe
Don't know nothing 'bout the way it's gonna be
Or clown faces or masterpieces
Or love affairs or rocking chairs
I see you sleeping away, getting older every day

New-born babe
Don't know nothing 'bout the way it's gonna be
Or clown faces or masterpieces
Or love affairs or rocking chairs
I see you sleeping away
Oh, you're getting older every day

"No Matter What You Do"

"No Matter What You Do"


No matter what you do I'll send you love
No matter what you say
No matter what you do I'll send you love
Starting today
I'm not lost
I'm not scared
I'm not frightened at all
I'm just sad that you're feeling this way
But no matter what you do
I'll send you love anyway

I started out with anger I was mad
I started out afraid
I had to let it go 'cause in your mind
You felt betrayed
You are lost
You are scared
You are frightened I know
And I'm sad that you're feeling this way
But no matter what you do
I'll send you love anyway

I found out
Just what is important
And I found out
Who really loves me
And I found out
That trials like these make us grow
So no matter what you feel I've done to you
Know that my heart was true
If reaping what you sow is real I know
I planted in truth

And I hope you find out
That it's you that you're hurting
It's time that you let it all go
'Cause no matter what you do
I'll send you love 'cause I know

That if I lose it all
I'll survive and I'll show
From the fall I can grow and go on
And I won't live in fear of the changes it makes
'Cause I've learned what it takes to be strong

So no matter what you do
I'll send you love
Oh no matter what you say
Oh no matter what you do
I'll send you love starting today
I'm not lost
I'm not scared
I'm not frightened at all
I surrender myself to my fate
So no matter what you do I'll send you love
Oh no matter what you do I'll send you love
Oh no matter what you do I'll send you love anyway
