"Little Green Apples"

"Little Green Apples"


And I wake up in the morning, with my hair down in my eyes,
And she says hi, and I stumble to the breakfast table,
While the kids are going off to school goodbye.
And she reaches out and takes my hand,
Squeezes it, says, how you feelin' hon?
And I look across at smiling lips that warm my heart and see my morning sun.
And if that's not lovin' me, then all I've got to say.
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summertime.
There's no such thing as Dr. Zeuss, Disneyland, and Mother Goose no nurs'ry rhyme.
God didn't make little green apples
And it don't rain in Indianapolis when the winter comes.
There's no such thing as make-believe, puppy dogs, and autumn leaves and B.B. guns.
Sometimes I call her up at home knowing she's busy
And ask if she could get away and meet me, and grab a bite to eat.
And she drops what she's doin' and hurries down to meet me, and I'm always late.
But she sits, waiting patiently and smiles when she first sees me
Cause she's made that way and if that's not lovin' me
Then all I've got to say.

"Little Green Bag"
(performed with Barenaked Ladies, originally by George Baker Selection)



Lookin' back on the track for a little green bag,
Got to find just the kind or I'm losin' my mind

Out of sight in the night out of sight in the day,
Lookin' back on the track gonna do it my way.

Out of sight in the night out of sight in the day,
Lookin' back on the track gonna do it my way.

Lookin' back

Lookin' for some happiness
But there is only loneliness to find
Jump to the left, turn to the right
Lookin' upstairs, lookin' behind!

Lookin' for some happiness
But there is only loneliness to find
Jump to the left, turn to the right
Lookin' upstairs, lookin' behind, yeah!

Lookin' back on the track for a little green bag,
Got to find just the kind or I'm losin' my mind

Out of sight in the night out of sight in the day,
Lookin' back on the track gonna do it my way.

Lookin' back on the track for a little little green bag,
Got to find just the kind or I'm losin' my mind,

Alright.

Lookin' for some happiness
But there is only loneliness to find
Jump to the left, turn to the right
Lookin' upstairs, lookin' behind.

Lookin' for some happiness
But there is only loneliness to find
Jump to the left, turn to the right
Lookin' upstairs, lookin' behind.

"Lodi"

"Lodi"


Just about a year ago, I set out on the road,
Seekin' my fame and fortune, lookin' for a pot of gold.
Things got bad, and things got worse, I guess you will know the tune.
Oh ! Lord, stuck in Lodi again.
Rode in on the Greyhound, I'll be walkin' out if I go.
I was just passin' through, must be seven months or more.
Ran out of time and money, looks like they took my friends.
Oh ! Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again.

The man from the magazine said I was on my way.
Somewhere I lost connections, ran out of songs to play.
I came into town, a one night stand, looks like my plans fell through
Oh ! Lord, stuck in Lodi again.

Mmmm...
If I only had a dollar, for ev'ry song I've sung.
And ev'ry time I've had to play while people sat there drunk.
You know, I'd catch the next train back to where I live.
Oh ! Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again.
Oh ! Lord, I'm stuck in Lodi again.

"Looking Out My Window"
(performed with James Taylor Quartet)



(Now people you know who I am,
And you know what I can do,
But I got a problem now and I'm gonna tell you about it,
I'm looking for this woman, y'see,
Listen, this is the way the story goes)

Looking out my window
Looking at the rain
Nothing left but pain
Why'd you go and leave me
Sad alone and blue
Looking out my window woman
Tryin' to find you

Why did you leave me?
Why did you grieve me?

Looking out my window
What do I see?
Nobody's crying
Half as bad as me
I don't think that they feel
So alone and blue
Looking out my window baby
Trying to find you

Why did you leave me?
Why did you grieve me?

I'd like to tell you about
This little girl that left
Me so alone and blue
The trouble is if I paint the
Picture too well you
Might fall in love with her too
She was about 5'6
A little bag of tricks
My mama told me to watch myself but I didn't listen
Because for you baby I'd scratch out my eye

Looking out my window
Down the railroad track
Waiting for that little brown eyed girl
She's coming back
I gotta hear that whistle blowing
Down the line
Come back girl
She'll be mine, oh mine

Why did you leave me?
Why did you grieve me?

Woah

Baby come on home
I'm so alone
Y'know I don't care what the world might say
I'm gonna love you
Oh baby

I'm down on my knees
And I'm beggin' you please
Ah

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby,

I love you, I love you

Come on home, come on home baby, come on home baby, come on home baby, to me.

"Love And Blessings"
(originally by Paul Simon)

"Love And Blessings"
(originally by Paul Simon)



Love and blessings, simple kindness
Fell like rain on thirsty lions
Fields and gardens, long abandoned
Came to life in dust and sand
Lovers lives, sweet as honey
Touched as if old love was new
Bankers pockets overflow with gold and money
Prophecies of wealth came true

Ain't no song like an 'ol song jol
Ain't no song like an 'ol song jolly
Ain't no time like good times jol
Ain't no time like the good times jolly

If the summer kept a secret
It was heaven's lack of rain
Golden days and amber sunsets
Let the scientists complain
Ain't no word on, in an image
Something called me from my sleep
Love and blessings, simple kindness
Ours to hold, but not to keep

Ain't no song like an 'ol song jol
Ain't no song like an 'ol song jolly
Ain't no time like good times jol
Ain't no time like the good time jolly

Everywhere you look
Everywhere you go
Everybody's looking forward
I can't get enough of that
I can't get enough of that
I can't get enough of that
Everybody's looking forward

Love and blessings, simple kindness
Ours to hold, but not to keep

"Love Is On Our Side"

"Love Is On Our Side"


I'll be around, love is on our side
I'll be around, love is on our side
I'll be around, love is on our side
I'll be around, love is on our side

Love is a two way street
Didn't know what pain could bring
Time has shown me the way
Now I'm here for a brighter day
For the first time in my life
I can really see the light
In hearts we both have found
True love won't let us down

I'll be around, love is on our side
I'll be around, love is on our side
I'll be around, love is on our side
I'll be around, love is on our side

Now more than anytime
I need you in my life
Joy will be our guide
Keep the feeling rain or shine
Tender moments fill my mind
They remain till the end of time
Clouds are gone, the skies are clear
And a deeper love appears

"Love's Been Good To Me"

"Love's Been Good To Me"


I have been a rover
I have walked alone
Hiked a hundred highways
Never found a home
Still in all I'm happy
The reason is, you see
Once in a while along the way
Love's been good to me

There was a girl in denver
Before the summer storm
Oh, her eyes were tender
Oh, her arms were warm
And she could smile away the thunder
Kiss away the rain
Even though she's gone away
You won't hear me complain

I have been a rover
I have walked alone
Hiked a hundred highways
Never found a home
Still in all I'm happy
The reason is, you see
Once in a while along the way
Love's been good to me

There was a girl in portland
Before the winter chill
We used to go a-courtin'
Along october hill
And she could laugh away the dark clouds
Cry away the snow
It seems like only yesterday
As down the road I go

I've been a rover
I have walked alone
Hiked a hundred highways
Never found a home
Still in all I'm happy
The reason is, you see
Once in a while along the way
Love's been good to me
