- A Dream That Can Last
I feel like I died and went to Heaven
The cupboards are bare but the streets are paved with gold
I saw a young girl who didn't die
I saw a glimmer from in her eye
I saw the distance, I saw the past
And I know I won't awaken, it's a dream that can last
- Bringin' Down Dinner
The evening fog was rolling in
It was getting hard to see
The old white car edged down the road
Headed for the Double E
She was bringin' down dinner for Grandpa
It was crawlin' with vitamins
And tender as a mother's love
- Canerican
I am American, American is what I am
I cast my vote and now I got my man
Out on the range, I see the changes coming to this country
I am American, American is what I am
(American)
I am American, American is what I am
I was born in Canada, came south to join a band
Got caught up in the big time, traveling through the land
- Change Ain't Never Gonna
Ten men working had to get a new job
Try to save the planet from a fuel-burning mob
Who turned on everyone for being so controlling
Taking away all the freedom they've been knowing
Yeah, the government said they had to get new cars
Picked those fuel-burners and they went to Mars
They turned on everyone for being so controlling
- Cinnamon Girl
I want to live with a cinnamon girl
I could be happy the rest of my life
With a cinnamon girl
A dreamer of pictures, I run in the night
You see us together, chasing the moonlight
My cinnamon girl
Ten silver saxes, a bass with a bow
- Country Home
I don't like to go down to the flats
'Cause I can't park on a hill
Instead getting a rolling start
I have to pay the bill
I guess I need that city life
It sure has lots of style
But pretty soon it wears me out
And I have to think to smile
- Cowgirl in the Sand
Hello, cowgirl in the sand (hello, cowgirl in the sand)
Is this place at your command?
Can I stay here for a while?
Can I see your sweet, sweet smile?
Old enough now to change your name
When so many love you is it the same?
It's the woman in you that makes you want to play this game
- Don't Forget Love
Don't forget love
Don't forget love
Don't forget love
Don't forget love
Don't forget love
Don't forget love
When you're angry and you're lashing out, don't forget love
You don't know what you're talking about, don't forget love
- Down by the River
Be on my side, I'll be on your side, baby
There is no reason for you to hide
It's so hard for me staying here all alone
When you could be taking me for a ride, yeah
She could drag me over the rainbow
And send me away
- Eternity
Woke up this morning in a house of love
The birds were singing in the sky above
The dogs were barking and the deer were free
And we were living in a house of love
Woke up this morning in a house of love
Oh, fortunately
I hope we're living in a house of love
For eternity
- For the Love of Man
For the love of man
Who could understand
What goes on?
What is right and what is wrong
Why the angels cry
And the heavens sigh
When the child is born to live
- Heading West
When I was a little boy
Pulled my wagon all through the town
Went fishin' at the mill
Got home before the streetlights came on
Out behind my house
I used to go back to the railroad track
Put my ear down on the rail
Listen for the train to come back
- Help Me Lose My Mind
Nothing bothers me 'cause I'm so happy
Might look like it does, but that means nothing
I got a face that gets me in trouble
I got a voice that does its damage
But I'm rescued now and this is all in my head
I gotta win somehow and lose this mind instead
It's always working on finding my weakness
How I was made to feel and can't forget, can't forget
- Human Race
Today no one cares
Tomorrow no one shares
Because they all will be gone, but the children
(Children of the fires and floods)
Children of the fires and floods
Who's gonna save the human race?
Where are the children gonna run and hide?
(Children of the fires and floods)
- I Do
Show me that garden in the sun that you saw
Let me see the flowers and the bees before they fall
I know that you said they'll always be there
I know you're not worried and I know you care
And I know you ask all the same questions I do
I do
I do
Show me that flock of birds that filled the sky
- Lotta Love
It's gonna take a lotta love
To change the way things are.
It's gonna take a lotta love
Or we won't get too far.
So if you look in my direction
And we don't see eye to eye,
My heart needs protection
- My Heart
Down in the valley the sheperd sees
His flock is close at hand
And in the night sky a star is falling down
From someone's hand
Somewhere, somehwere
I gotta get somewhere
It's not too late, it's not too late
- Over and Over
At night when the sky is clear and the moon is shining down
My heart goes running back to you
I love the way you open up and let me in
So I go running back to you
Over and over again
Over and over again my love
Over and over again with you
Over and over again my love
- Piece Of Crap
Tried to save the trees
Bought a plastic bag
The bottom fell out
It was a piece of crap
Saw it on the tube
Bought it on the phone
Now you're home alone
- Powderfinger
Look out, mama, there's a white boat coming up the river
With a big red beacon, and a flag, and a man on the rail
I think you'd better call John
'Cause it don't look like they're here to deliver the mail
And it's less than a mile away
I hope they didn't come to stay
It's got numbers on the side and a gun
And it's making big waves
- Safeway Cart
Like a Safeway cart rolling down the street
Like a sandal mark on the Savior's feet
Just keep rolling on it's a ghetto dawn
Baby looks so bad with her TV eyes
Going, going, gone and the picture cries
It's a ghetto dawn
- Shape Of You
This ain't just a paint-by-numbers
I gotta be who I feel
When I think of the shape of you
You changed my life for the better
Wore my love like your favorite sweater
That brings me back to the shape of you
Shape of you, shape of you
Shape of you
- Shut It Down
Have to shut the whole system down
Have to shut the whole system down
People tryin' to save this earth
From an ugly death
Have to shut the whole system down
People tryin' to live
Working in a world of meat factories
Have to shut the whole system down
- Sleeps With Angels
She wasn't perfect
She had some trips of her own
He wasn't worried
At least he wasn't alone (Too late)
He sleeps with angels (Too soon)
He's always on someone's mind
He sleeps with angels (Too late)
He sleeps with angels (Too soon)
- Song Of The Seasons
Looking through a wavy glass window
In this old place by the lake
In the colors of the falling leaves
I see nature makes no mistake
In the water, as it ripples in the wind
There's a message I see of what's to come
In the honkers flying low above the waves
That's the reason this song is sung
- Southern Man
Southern man, better keep your head
Don't forget what your good book says
Southern change gonna come at last
Now your crosses are burnin' fast
Southern man
I saw cotton and I saw black
Tall white mansions and little shacks
- They Might Be Lost
I'm waiting for the boys to bring the truck in
They should've been here by now
It's way past 4:20 and I'm sitting waiting
For the boys to come get the goods
It's loaded on the porch all ready to go
She wants to know where they are
Looking for the headlights coming through the trees
- Think Of Me
When you see those geese in the skies, think of me
I can spread my wings and fly just like them
And I can gallop across your open prairie
While I dive below your deepest sea
Think of me
I'm gonna live long and I'm happy to report it back to you
It's a window world and I saw a sign on the highway too
As I flew over the wires and observed you livin'
- Tom Dula
Hang down your head, Tom Dula
Hang down your head and cry
Hang down your head, Tom Dula
Poor boy, you're bound to die
I met her on the mountain
And there I took her life
Met her on the mountain
- Train Of Love
Train of love
Racing from heart to heart
Running late
Still in the lonely part
This train will never run me down
But only take me where I'm bound
It's part of me and part of you
I'll always be a part of you
- Trans Am
Trans Am
The wagons in the valley
had pulled up for the night
Seth said
"go get the plow out Merle,
this place looks just right"
By then they were surrounded,
- Travel On
I've laid around and played around
This old town too long
Summer's almost gone
Yeah, winter's comin' on
I've laid around and played around
This old town too long
And I feel like I gotta travel on
- Tumblin' Thru The Years
Well, I was walking down the road one step at a time heading home
I was thinking 'bout the love we shared, you and me
It's a complicated thing, this life
If I wasn't here with you
Tumbling through the years without our love
Many days and many nights fly by as we go on our way
And we have our old friends and new by our side
- Walk Like a Giant
I used to walk like a giant on the land
Now I feel like a leaf floating in a stream
I wanna walk like a giant
I wanna walk like a giant on the land
Me and some of my friends
we were gonna save the world
we were trying to make it better
- Welcome Back
Gonna sing an old song to you right now
One that you heard before
Might be a window to your soul I can open slowly
I've been singing this way for so long
Riding through the storm
Might remind me of who we are
And why we walk so lowly
- Welfare Mothers
Welfare mothers make better lovers
Welfare mothers make better lovers
People, pick up on what I'm puttin' down now
Welfare mothers make better lovers
Down at every laundromat in town now
Welfare mothers make better lovers
While they're washin' you can hear this sound now
Welfare mothers make better lovers
