"Donna On My Mind"

"Donna On My Mind"

Donna on my mind when I get up in the morning,
Donna on my mind the whole day through,
love can't come so quick and real without any warning wonder if she's thinking of me too.

Once I thought that no one girl could ever hold me even thought this thing called love was just fantasy,
now I won't be satisfied until she's mine,
'till then I'll just have Donna on my mind.

Once I thought that no one girl could ever hold me even thought this thing called love was just fantasy,
now I won't be satisfied until she's mine,
'till then I'll just have Donna on my mind.

"Down Came The World"

"Down Came The World"

Down, down, down came the world
I went round, round, round in a whirl
I built every dream around one girl
Then down, down, down came the world.

She must have loved a little
Just to keep me hanging on
How could lips that kiss so sweet
Lie and be so wrong?

Our love was just a pattern
Of the perfect boy and girl
The only dream I own
In this world.

Down, down, down came the world
I went round, round, round in a whirl
I built every dream around one girl
Then down, down, down came the world.

[Instrumental]

I built every dream around one girl
Then down, down, down came the world
Down, down, down came the world...

"Dream Baby"

"Dream Baby"

Sweet dream baby,
Sweet dream baby
Sweet dream baby,
How long must I dream.

Dream baby, got me dreamin'
Aweet dreams the whole day through.
Dream baby got me dreamin'
Sweet dreams in nighttime too.

I love you and I'm dreamin' of you
That won't do
Dream baby, help me stop my dreamin' of you
And make my dreams come true.

Sweet dream baby
Sweet dream baby
Sweet dream baby,
How long must I dream...

"Dreaming My Dreams With You"

"Dreaming My Dreams With You"

I hope that I won't be that wrong anymore,
And maybe I've learned this time.
I hope that I find what I'm reaching for,
The way that it is in my mind.

Someday I'll get over you.
I'll live to see it all through.
But I'll always miss,
Dreaming my dreams with you.

But I won't let it change me,
Not if I can.
I'd rather believe in love.
And give it away as much as I can,
To those that I'm fondest of.

Someday I'll get over you.
I'll live to see it all through.
But I'll always miss,
Dreaming my dreams with you.

Someday I'll get over you.
I'll live to see it all through.
But I'll always miss,
Dreaming my dreams with you.

"Drinkin' And Dreamin'"

"Drinkin' And Dreamin'"

Everybody's lookin' for some way in,
I'm lookin' for some way out.
I've been wastin' my time standin' in line
If this is what it's all about.

All I got is a job that I don't like
And a woman that don't understand.
So tonight at the bar,
I'll get in my car
And take off for the promise land.

Drinkin' and dreamin'
Knowin' damn well I can't go.
I'll never see Texas, L.A., or Old Mexico.
But here at this table, I'm able to leave it behind.
Drink 'til I'm dreamin', a thousand miles out of my mind.

This suit and this tie, is just a disguise.
This ain't really me.
Some people are born, to be tied down,
Some people are born to be free.

When I look down the road she don't know
How it gets under my skin.
She's got my body but my heart and soul
Are out there ridin' the wind.

Drinkin' and dreamin'
Knowin' damn well I can't go.
I'll never see Texas, L.A., or Old Mexico.
But here at this table, I'm able to leave it behind.
Drink 'til I'm dreamin', a thousand miles out of my mind.

"Drivin' Nails In The Wall"

"Drivin' Nails In The Wall"

Here I sit drivin' nails in the wall
Thinking I hear someone in my hall
She said that she'd be back in no time at all
Here I sit drivin' nails in the wall.

In the dark that stacks around me
Dreams of you keep pounding me
Leading me to where I've never been
And the voice keeps telling me
This could be insanity
But I know my name as well as you.

Here I sit drivin' nails in the wall
Thinking I hear someone in my hall
She said that she'd be back in no time at all
Here I sit drivin' nails in the wall.

In the wilted patterns of my mind
Find that I've left you behind
Sowing up my torn memories
Surviving living, three bed room
Electric kitchen and living room
Just burning and it's on a new free way

Here I sit drivin' nails in the wall
Thinking I hear someone in my hall
She said that she'd be back in no time at all
When she is back I'm gonna nail to the wall...

"Easy Money"

"Easy Money"

I didn't rob no bank or break no teller machine
I didn't mug nobody or steal from a widow's child
But I'll take your money and do a little dance and sing
But to tell the truth, I'm only gonna keep it a while

[CHORUS:]
Easy money, easy come and easy go
Easy money, easy come, where it goes, I don't know

Never could hold on when anything wasn't mine
Trouble's all it ever got me into
And knowin' that I'd just be wastin' time
Thinkin' I could ever hold onto you

[CHORUS:]
Easy lovin', easy come and easy go
Easy lovin', easy come, where it goes, I don't know

I got a two-wide trailer on the banks of the Black Water Draw
Back at the house it trickles down to a stream
I ain't breakin' my back and I sure ain't breakin' the law
Livin' on mud bud's a mainstay country cuisine

[CHORUS:]
Easy livin', easy come and easy go
Easy livin', easy come, where it goes, I don't know

[CHORUS:]
Easy lovin', easy come and easy go
Easy money, easy come, where it goes, I don't know

"Endangered Species"

"Endangered Species"

I made it through my rock and roll years
With a spent dream and
A few dollar bills
I don't know what I learned
I don't know what I know
And if I don't now I never will

I ain't seen it all but it's plain to see
I just might be an endangered species

Like an old gray fox I know how he feels
With the new hats snapping at my heels
I ain't sure what it's all about
I ain't in but don't count me out

They all like to dance but if you want to dance with me
You might be dancing with an endangered species

I wasted some time
With some women I found
At no time ever settlin' down
With one over here and one over there
And that's where-nobody cares

But a man in love is what I want to be
I guess-that makes me an endangered species

"Entertainer"
(originally by Billy Joel)

"Entertainer"
(originally by Billy Joel)

I am the entertainer,
I know just where I stand
Another serenader,
Another long haired man.

Today I am your champion,
I may have won your heart
But I know the game,
You'll forget my name.

I won't be here
In another year
If I don't stay
On the charts

I am the entertainer
Had to pay my price
Things I didn't know at first
I learned by doing twice.

But still they come to haunt me
Still they want their say
So I learn to dance
With my hands in my pants.

Rub my neck
And just write 'em a check
And they'll be on their way.

I am the entertainer
I've been all around the world
I played all kinds of places
Played all kinds of girls.

I don't remember faces
I don't remember names
What the hell, it's just as well
'Cause after a while
And a thousand miles
It all becomes the same.

I am the entertainer
I come to do my show
You heard my latest record
Spin on the radio.

Well, it took me years to write it
The best years of my life
It's a beautiful song
But it ran too long
Wanna have a hit
You gotta make it fit
So they cut it down to 3:05.

I am the entertainer
Idol of my age
Make all kinds of money
Boy, when I go on the stage.

They see me in the paper
And in the magazines
If I go cold
My feet get sore
Put me in the back
Of the discount rack
Like another can of beans.

I am the entertainer
I know just where I stand
Another serenader,
Another long haired man.

I am the entertainer...
