"Drift Away"

"Drift Away"


Day after day I'm more confused
So I look for the light in the pouring rain
You know that's a game that I hate to lose
I'm feelin' the strain, ain't it a shame

Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

Beginning to think that I'm wastin' time
I don't understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
I'm countin' on you to carry me through

And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
And when I'm feelin' blue
The guitar's comin' through to soothe me
Thanks for the joy that you've given me
I want you to know I believe in your song
Rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You help me along makin' me strong

"Drifting Away"

"Drifting Away"


Sadness slips into the room
On silent steps of sorrow
Stealing sleep and all my dreams
Where will we be tomorrow?

Lying with you, crying with you, drifting
Talking till dawn yet we go on, drifting
Don't understand where we began just drifting apart
Drifting apart feeling alone drifting away

We can't seem to work it out
drifting from day to day
Wasn't it all about, drifting away
Drifting away, drifting away

Losing the feeling
And now the music of the song is almost gone
That we used to play
From sweet surrender from drifting away, drifting

Two lovers lost two rivers crossed, drifting
Two bridges burned, no lesson learned, drifting
Lonely together, hurting each other
Still we can't say that it's over
Can we bring back yesterday?
Will we be forever, forever drifting away
Drifting, drifting away

"Easy Way Out"

"Easy Way Out"


Darlin' all you do is deceive.
Always a heartache up your sleeve
What good does it do to be hidin' the truth
(Hidin' Hidin')
The only one you really fool is you.

[Chorus:]
Baby I'm teaking the easy way out
And I know that you know what I'm talking about
All these games that you play I can live without
I'm takin' the easy way out

Your misbehavin' is to much to bear
You got me thinking that you just don't care
All of your lyin's so hard to believe
(Lyin' Lyin')
Why do you do these things to me.

[Chorus]

Startin' tonight it's gonna be much better
It's gonna feel good to get you off my mind

[Chorus]

"Evergreen"

"Evergreen"


Sometimes love will bloom in the springtime
Then like flowers in summer it will grow
And then fade away in the winter
When the cold winds begin to blow

But when it's evergreen, evergreen
It will last through the summer and winter too
When love is evergreen, evergreen
Like my love for you

So hold my hand and tell me
You'll be mine through laughter or through tears
Then let the whole world see, our love will be
Evergreen through all the years

For when it's evergreen, evergreen
It will last through the summer and winter too
When love is evergreen, evergreen
Like my love for you

"Falling"

"Falling"


I'm falling, I'm falling
Falling in love with you

Baby, Come closer closer to me, And listen listen so carefully
Remember all the nights that I told you that I loved you
It wasn't true, I used you, And you were just someone new

To thrill this lonely heart of mine
I was lying all the time
Pretending to be falling in love with you
But it's different now, I've kissed you now
So forgive me forgive me somehow

Hold me tight for tonight, Then tell me truth
If you still love me, Say that you love me
Don't leave me now

Now that I'm falling for you
I'm falling, I'm falling
Falling in love, Falling in love with you

"Far, Far Away"
(originally by Don Gibson)


Far, far away is my love of yesterday
She's gone, gone, gone, gone, from me, from me
Far, far away is my life, my love my way
Wonder where, where, where, where
Where oh where can she be?

Days, endless days nights, dark dismay
Lonely, I'm lonely where can she be?
Far, far away is my love of yesterday
Wonder where, where, where, where where
Oh where can she be?

Far, far away is my love of yesterday
Wonder where, where, where, where where
Oh where can she be?
Where where, where, where, where where
Oh where can she be?

"Friday Night"

"Friday Night"


Well I was driving in my car
With fourteen women after me
Down Fifth Avenue
A friday night it just to be
She was standing on the corner
Thumbing a ride
I said: "Hop in baby
Scoot closer by my side"
Honey let's go riding you look so exciting
Where have you been hiding?

[Chorus:]
Friday night, feeling tight
Friday night, think she might
Friday night, friday night
There's no telling what you'll find
Cruising on a friday night

She didn't say a word
She just kept those big blue eyes on me
I wondered what she could be thinkin'
As she put her little hand on my knee
I took another sip of malted brew
And then I looked in her eyes
And as I sank into her baby blues
I thought "My oh my"
There's no use in fighting you look so exciting
Where have you been hiding girl?

[Chorus]

Cruising on a friday night
Cruising on a friday night
Cruising on a friday night

"Gigolette"

"Gigolette"


Oh, they call you Gigolette, they say that you're the Devil's pet.
They say beware for you destroy, the heart and soul of everyboy.

They say that your lips are soft and warm.and they say that your touch has a magic charm
But that you're a butterfly flying from guy to guy.

Yes you're known as Gigolette, oh love and them and leave them Gigolette,
They say you're laugh when lovers cry they say it's a kiss and then goodbye.

They say that your heart is made of stone and they say stay away leave you alone.

Ah, that you're a fly by night many arms to hold you tight.

But it's too late for me.too late now to forget,I'm under the spell of Gigolette.
My chance to run away is past, I'm in your arms at last.

So come on and hold me.oh hold me close to you.
Oh kiss me,don't break my heart in two.

Tomorrow you're may be ot of sight, but tonight, tonight, tonight love me Gigolette.

"Girl Like Mine"

"Girl Like Mine"


There's a girl in my life
The best little girl that I could ever find
Her lips are warm when the nights are cold
In the summertime she can make it snow
She's alright, she's alright
If you want to get a girl that's really fine
You gotta get a girl, a girl like mine
She's alright, she's alright.

You take your girl to a show
You got to stand in line but she says no
You finally get your ticket and you walk in
There she's standing with a silly grin

But not mine, she'll stand in line
If you want to get a girl that's truly fine
You gotta get a girl, a girl like mine
Cause she's alright, she's alright.

You buy your girl a fancy dress
That's the only way she'll look her best
I give my girl bell-bottom slacks
A big wide belt and she's a gas
She's alright, she's alright
If you want to get a girl that's really fine
You gotta get a girl, a girl like mine
Cause she's alright, she's alright

"Give Myself A Party"
(originally by Don Gibson)

"Give Myself A Party"
(originally by Don Gibson)


I've got alot of memories,
To last me the rest of my life
So if you don't want to love me,
Well baby that'll be alright
I'm gonna take all the lovin'
That I had for you
Gonna take all the loneliness
And sit right down with the blues.

I'm gonna give myself a party
Serve old memories
I'll give myself a party
Think of how it used to be
Remember all the happiness
That we once knew
I'll give myself a party
Just me and the blues.

A few of your love letters
A photograph or two
The gift you gave me on my birthday
With words of I love you
There's lots of things to think about
When you're happy being blue
I'm gonna take all the heartache
And sit right down with the blues.

I'm gonna give myself a party
Serve old memories
I'll give myself a party
Think of how it used to be
Remember all the happiness
That we once knew
I'll give myself a party
Just me and the blues.
