"Business On The Street"

"Business On The Street"

Don't put your business in the street
Your brothers and sisters is about all you need
No tellin' who you might meet

It might make you sad
Make you feel mad
Make you blue
What are you gonna do?

The biggest fool of all is me
I play the music for the music you see
For money I do publicity

So I can buy guitars
Put a studio in the backyard
You know what it costs me
To find another key, alright

And when you get a little bit older
You're carryin' too much weight on your shoulder
Share your heavy load, come on over

So we go and see
What you're gonna be
Don't you try too hard
Don't you break your heart

Oh yes, wrong, right
I'm tellin' ya, tell me
Gonna be alright
Gonna be alright
Gonna be alright

"Buyin' Time"

"Buyin' Time"

Unless you believe in magic
There ain't much left you can be
A skeptic or a fool
Have you been watching your TV

Incredible is all I think of
Did I really see
Wordless faces double talkin'
A runnin' it down to me

About buyin' time
Brother can you spare a dime
And ain't it a crime
How we got to buy time, yeah

People goin' hungry
Ain't no jobs, they're in the street
Nobody's got no answer
They're just staring at their feet

Ain't no way about it
Things are lookin' pretty bleak
And everybody's scufflin' hard
Tryin' to make ends meet

We're just buyin' time
Brother can you spare a dime
Ain't it a crime
How we got to buy time, yeah

It happened once before, you know in 1932
But now there's so many more of us
There's something we gotta do

Something radical, something different
Got to hit on something new
America, the dream is lost
And it's killin' me and you

We're buyin' time
Brother can you spare a dime
Ain't it a crime
How we got to buy time

We're just buyin' time

"Can't Get No Booty"

"Can't Get No Booty"

Can't get no booty
Can't get no booty
Can't get no booty
Can't get no booty

I can't see it anyway
Because I've always been such an easy prey
Can't get no booty
Can't get no booty

Try'n and try'n again
No matter how hard I shake my tail feather in your face
All I can think of it's such a disgrace
There's so much good man goin' to waste

Maybe it's because of the clothes I wear
Maybe it's the Palmade on my hair
Can't get no booty
Can't get no booty

Is it the way I talk
Maybe it's the way I walk
Is it the way I think
Maybe it's just the way I speak

Can't get no booty
Can't get no booty
Can't get no booty
Can't get no booty

Having trouble seeing through your shades
What you been reading 'bout me in the trades?
Trying to make myself perfectly clear
It's not the inches, it's the engineer

And when I'm running my strongest way
What is the feeling that you can't fake
Maybe it's the tattoo on my face
Maybe it's that I just know my place

Can't get no booty
Can't get no booty
Can't get no booty
Can't get no booty

"Can't Let Go"

"Can't Let Go"

I think of the two of us
An' how we both came to trust
In each other
And how we both have grown

Suddenly you're afraid
And letting it slip away
Just you remember we're
We're a very special love

Can't let go can't let go
You and me is all I know
It took a lot of love to
Get us to this place

Can't let go can't let go
I just keep holdin' on
Tell this impatient heart
This is no mistake

So much for promises
And what you think love is
Maybe time
Will find you what you need

Slow down
Things go through change
And pleasure can come from pain
Here's a memory
Of where we both belong

Didn't it work
For us so long
Together we'll find
What's gone

Can't let go can't let go
You and me is all I know
It took a lot of love to
Get us to this place

Can't let go can't let go
I just keep holdin' on
Tell this impatient heart
This is no mistake

"Change Partners"

"Change Partners"

All of the ladies attending the ball
Are requested to gaze in the faces
Found on the dance cards

Please then remember
And don't get to close to one special one
He will take your defenses and run

So we change partners
Time to change partners
You must change partners
Again

This is how most of our ladies grew up
At the country club dances
They learned how to handle the boys

Gently but firmly they learned to say no
There were four more young men
Who were waiting in the color and the noise

So we change partners
Time to change partners
You must change partners
Again

All of the ladies attending the ball
Are requested to gaze in the faces
Found on the dance cards

Please then remember and follow your list
'Cause the dear things get hurt
And the broken hearts make you feel

So we change partners
Time to change partners
You must change partners
Again

"Cherokee"

"Cherokee"

In my short time I've loved, I've shined
And now I find all my lovin' just been blind
Southern girl, come on
You and me, babe, gotta move on, come on

My fortunes mean nothing
I never cared about fame
The dark eyed Cherokee
Like the raven she knows me

The secret she keeps like her soul so deep
Nothin' 'round here get to me
Like the lady from Tennessee
Like the lady from Tennessee

"Church (Part Of Someone)"

"Church (Part Of Someone)"

You see, it's my thing to be part of someone
As a true friend is part of me you know that there's so much
Oh, little girl, we've got to tell each other about the whole world
And most especially one another, oh yeah, all right
And you know, and you know?

And it's hard, yes it is it's hard, yes it is
And I wonder
I wonder could it be a dream?
Oh yes

And you know that the self made man, babe
Is truly shallow he knows he's no one but who he wants to be
So while you still sing, baby you got to tell me, baby
Is it your thing to be part of anyone anyone, anyone?

And I wonder
Yes I wonder could it be a dream?

And it's hard, yes it is it's hard, yes it is
And I wonder

Oh now one more time

And I wonder
And I wonder children, could it be a dream?

Can I tell a people story, it ain't too long
There's very few that can face each other or themselves alone

Feet, where are you goin', we're just circlin' yeah?

"City Junkies"

"City Junkies"

She is benediction
She is addicted to thee
She is the root connection
She is connecting with thee

She is sublimation
She is the essence of thee
She is concentrating on he
Chosen she

I'm dancing barefoot
Heading for a spin
Some strange music draws me in
Makes me come on like some heroine

She is recreation
She's intoxicated by thee
She has the slow sensation
That he is levitating with she

Here I go
Well, I don't know why
I float so ceaselessly
Could it be, he's taken over me

I'm dancing barefoot
In mid-air I spin
Some strange music draws me in
Makes me come on like some heroine

I'm dancing barefoot
Heading for a spin
Some strange music draws me in
Makes me come on like some heroine

"Closer To You"

"Closer To You"

Have you seen
The ladies passing by
They don't seem to notice
That I'm lonesome and I cry
But soon they'll listen
I can tell you, tell you why
Gonna make a record
Gonna go sky high

I just wanna be closer to you
I just wanna see if you can be moved
I don't wanna be a fool for you
Or be alone

Going to the city
All the hustlers in the street
Can't you imagine where
This country boy's head might be
Bright lights are shining
I can see in front of me
At night clockwork deception
Won't save or set us free

I just wanna be closer to you
I just wanna see if you can be moved
I don't wanna be a fool for you
Or be alone

Gonna tour the country
Gonna play for all my friends
Such a positive action
I've got energy to lend
So come on down, we're cookin'
Let the rhythm get you high
Bring all the ladies
Tell them why, why, why

I just wanna be closer to you
I just wanna see if you can be moved
I don't wanna be a fool for you
Or be alone
