"Fido"

"Fido"

Fido stayed all night, he would not go home
I asked him to leave, I said I do not have that bone
I was feelin' lonesome sittin' by the phone
Wide awake stayin' up late wishin' I was home

You were on the outside talking to some chick
I was on the inside feelin' mighty sick
Sleep is what I wanted, you know what I got
Wide awake...

Dogs have it made, lyin' round in the shade
Never have to worry about get there on time
I can't help but wonder what was on your mind
Ridin' round in the pouring rain, havin a heck of time
Livin' may be easy, dyin' may be hard
But I'm wide awake stayin' up late, sendin' my regards

"For Free"

"For Free"

I slept last night in a good hotel
I went shopping today for jewels
The wind rushed around the dirty town
And the children let out from their schools

I was standing on a noisy corner
Waitin' for the walking green
Across the street he stood, you know he played real good
He was playing real good for free

Now me, I play for fortunes
And for those velvet curtain calls
I got a black limousine and about forty criminals
Escorting me to the halls

And I'll play if you have some money
Or if you're a friend to me
But that one-man band by the quick-lunch stand
He was just playing real good for free

Nobody stopped to hear him
Though he played so sweet and high
They knew had never beeen on their TV screen
So they passed his music by

Me, I meant to go over
And ask for a song
Maybe put on a harmony
I heard his refrain as the signals changed
An' he was still playin' real good for free

"For Me Again"

"For Me Again"

The moon can light the sky at night for me again
The sun can make the daytime bright and fun again
And my heart can be free the way it wants to be
'cause you come back to me again

The wind blows pain and clouds of rain away again
And lets me stay with just a happy day again
'cause now I really see how much you do love me
How good the world can be again

Oh when you left that day
I forgot how to care
And I hid myself away
But now since you are here

Winter days will seem like spring to me again
With all the love that you will bring to me again
And no matter what I'll do I will always see it through
'cause I won't be without you again

"Full Circle"

"Full Circle"

Funny how the circle turns around first your up and then your down again
Though the circle takes what it may give
Each time around it makes you live again
Funny how the circle is a wheel
And it can steal someone who is a friend
Funny how the circle takes your flight
And if it's it right it brings you back again
Funny how the circle turns around
You think your lost and then you're found again
Though you always look for what you know
Each time around it's something new again

"Get Down Your Line"

"Get Down Your Line"

Well you think you've got it bad
And you think that you've been had
Well you never were so wrong
If you just listen to this song
Your debts will all be doubled
Iffin' you all be so troubled
You never gonna help your brother
If you can't help yourself

Get down your line
Get down your line
Get down your line
Get down your line
And you'll be just fine
Get down your line
And don't waste no time
Then you can give everyday that you live

Well, get yourself together
Don't ever mind the weather
Then you can help your neighbour
And help him with his labor
If you get yourself together
Then giving is so much pleasure
It makes your life a treasure
If you can do someone some good

Get down your line
Get down your line
Get down your line
Get down your line
And you'll be just fine
Get down your line
And don't waste no time
Then you can give everyday that you live

"Get To You"

"Get To You"

Standing in the airport I am waiting for a plane
Goin' east to London, want to be back there again
It's the right time of year, all the trees are autumn brown
But I really only want to get to you

Sitting by the window, watching ocean going by
Seems I should be with you but how fast can this thing fly
Hey how it seems like an eternity
All the time it took me trying to get to you

Oh, that's a little better
Oh, that's a little better
Oh, that's a little better
Oh, that's a little better

Standing in the airport I am getting off the plane
Glad to be in London even though it's pouring rain
It's a bright sunny day when I see you run my way
But it took me twenty years to get to you
It's a bright sunny day when I see you run my way
But it took me twenty years to get to you

Oh, that's a little better
Oh, that's a little better
Oh, that's a little better
Oh, that's a little better

"Glory, Glory"

"Glory, Glory"

Glory, glory, Halleluja since I laid my burden down
Glory, glory, Halleluja since I laid my burden down
Glory, glory, Halleluja since I laid my burden down

Well I feel so much better, so much better
Since I laid my burden down
I feel so so much better, so much better
Since I laid my burden down

Glory, glory....

Thank you Jesus, thank you Jesus
Help me lay my burden down
I wanna thank you Jesus
I wanna thank you Jesus
Help me lay my burden down

Glory, glory...

"Goin' Back"

"Goin' Back"

I think I'm going back to the things that I learned so well in my youth
I think I'm returning to those days when I was young enough to know the truth
Now there are no games to only pass the time
No more electric trains, no more trees to climb
But thinking young and growing older is no sin
And I can play the game of life to win

I can recall the time when I wasn't ashamed to reach out to a friend
Now I think I've got a lot more than just my toys to lend
Now there's more to do than watch my sailboat glide
And every day can be a magic carpet ride
A little bit of courage is all we lack
So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back

Now there's more to do than watch my sailboat glide
But every day can be a magic carpet ride
A little bit of courage is all we lack
So catch me if you can, I'm goin' back

"Gunga Din"

"Gunga Din"

I'm writing this here letter from abroad a D.C.8
Headin' into Angel town, I hope it's not too late

It rained in New York City, Mr.Rock'n Roll couldn't stay
The crowd was mad and we were bad, chasin' the sun back to L.A.

Have breakfast with me mama, I hope they'll let us in
Got a leather jacket on, you know that it's a sin
Gunga Din

Sittin' backwards on this airplane, it's bound to make me sick
Spend your life on a D.C.8, never get to bed, settle down in the blue

Now we're over Kansas where the clouds are flowing by
The whole wide world looks back at me
Just like a mushroom high, I wonder why

"Have You Seen Her Face"

"Have You Seen Her Face"

Have you seen her face her eyes reflect the colors in the sky
A warm familiar place to be swept into
Whenever she's close by makes me wonder why

Run by don't turn back
Can't hide from that look in her eye

Must be the way she walks a style made up to capture all she needs
No time to spend on loose talk
If your luck runs right she might see you tonight anything in sight

Run by don't turn back
Can't hide from that look in her eyes

You'll find your locked in her spell all the sights and sounds
Your senses will be found
That only time will tell how much love can be to wait so patiently
Wait and see

Run by don't turn back
Can't hide from that look in her eyes
