your eyelids are getting heavy
hard to lift
your mind begins to wander
things start to drift
your arms are getting heavy
hard to lift
you sink down a little deeper
you're feeling wonderful

There she is sitting there
Out behind the smoke house in her rocking chair
She don't do nothin'
She don't say nothin'
She don't feel nothin'
She don't know nothin'
Maybe she's crazy I don't know
But maybe that's why I love her so

Got a wife got a family
Earn my livin' with my hand
I'm a roller in a steel mill
In downtown Birmingham

My daddy was a barber
And a most unsightly man
He was born in Tuscaloosa

There's a red moon rising
On the Cuyahoga River
Rolling into Cleveland to the lake

There's a red moon rising
On the Cuyahoga River
Rolling into Cleveland to the lake

Cold gray buildings where a hill should be
Steel and concrete closin' in on me
City faces haunt the places
I used to roam
Cowboy, cowboy - can't run, can't hide
Too late to fight now - too tired to try

Wind that once blew free

I was born right here, November forty three
Dad was a captain in the army
Fighting the Germans in Sicily
My poor little momma
Didn't know a soul in L.A.
So we went down to the Union Station
Made our getaway
Got on the Dixie Flyer bound for New Orleans

Why weep or slumber America
Land of brave and true
With castles and clothing and food for all
All belongs to you

Ev'ry man a king ev'ry man a king
For you can be a millionaire
But there's something belonging to others

Your eyelids are gettin' heavy
Hard to lift
Your mind begins to wander
Things start to drift
Your arms are getting heavy
Hard to lift
You sink down a little deeper
You're feeling wonderful

Once upon a time there was a vulture and a hog
Livin' in a house upon a hill
Had this little boy who lived with them
And they worked him like a dog
With any luck, they'd have him up there still
'Long came a magic man with a magic bag
Full of nasty little green things in a funky old rag
He said, "Boy you may not know it but this here's salvation you see."

Yes baby I been drinkin'
And I shouldn't come by I know
But I found myself in trouble
And I had nowhere else to go

Got some whisky from the barman
Got some cocaine from a friend
I just had to keep on movin'

I've heard them say so often they could love their wives alone,
but I think that's just foolish: men must have hearts made of stone
Now my heart is made of softer stuff: it melts at each warm glance
A pretty girl can't look my way without a new romance
Oh!
I could love a million girls and every girl a twin
I could love a chinese girl an eskimo or finn
I could love a german girl a girl with golden curls

Hate New York City
It's cold and it's damp
And all the people dressed like monkeys
Let's leave Chicago to the Eskimos
That town's a little bit too rugged
For you and me, babe

Rollin' down Imperial Highway

Still in my heart after all these years
Separated by time now by distance
I couldn't allow myself to feel
The loss that I feel right now
As I put this song down

You're far away
And happy I know

broken windows and empty hallways
a pale dead moon in the sky streaked with gray
human kindness is overflowing
and i think it's going to rain today

scarecrows dressed in the latest styles
with frozen smile to chase love away
human kindness is overflowing

Out among the stars I sail
Way beyond the moon
In my silver ship I sail
A dream that ended too soon
Now I know exactly who I am
And what I'm here for
And I will go sailing no more

I'm different and I don't care who knows it
Somethin' about me
It's not the same yeah
I'm different and that's how it goes
Ain't gonna play no goddamn game

Got a different way of walkin'
I got a different kind of smile

If I were a rich man with a million or two
I'd live in a penthouse in a room with a view
And if I were handsome, no way
It could happen, 'coz dreams do come true

I wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you
Wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have
Wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have

In Germany Before The War
There was a man who owned a store
In nineteen hundred thirty four
In Dusseldorf
And every day at fine o nine
He'd cross the park down to the Rhine
And he'd sit there by the shore

I don't love the mountains
I don't love the sea
I don't love Jesus
He never done a thing for me
I ain't pretty like my sister
Or smart like my dad
Or good like my mama
It's money that I love

There's a hundred thousand Frenchmen in New Orleans
In New Orleans there are Frenchmen everywhere
But your house could fall down
Your baby could drown
Wouldn't none of those Frenchmen care

Everybody gather 'round
Loosen up your suspenders

Last night I had a dream
You were in it, I was in it with you
Everyone that I knew
And everyone that you know was in my dream
I saw a vampire
I saw a ghost
Everybody scared me but you scared me the most
In the dream I had last night

Seven ships without a sail
Seven cats without a tail
Boy, it's weird here
On this spooky old pier tonight

But I'm not frightened `cause I know what it is
Everything is just the same as it was
I'm in trouble because of Linda

The milk truck hauls the sun up
And the paper hits the door
The subway shakes my floor
And I think about you
Time to face the dawning gray
Of another lonely day
Baby, it's so hard
Living without you

I've been around the world
Had my pick of any girl
You'd think I'd be happy
But I'm not
Ev'rybody knows my name
But it's just a crazy game
Oh, it's lonely at the top

Was a fool with my money
And I lost every dime
The sun stopped shining
And it rained all the time
It did set me back some
But I've made it through
But I'll never get over losing you

Don't send me no young girl to love me
With their eyes shinin' bright
All the young girls are afraid of me
Send me a woman tonight

Don't send me no hand-holdin' baby
'Cause I been with babies before
Don't send me nobody that's crazy

Met one summer evening
As the sun was going down
She was lyin' on the beach
In her graduation gown

She was wrapped up in a blanket
I could tell, she knew her way around
And as I lay down beside her

Will you have whiskey with your water
Or sugar with your tea
What are these crazy questions
That they're asking of me
This is the wildest party
That there ever could be
Oh, don't turn on the light
'Cause I don't want to see

There's a girl over there
With the rhythm everywhere
She's a very fine girl
And she's been awfully nice to me
When we walk
As we sometimes do
All the way out Collins Avenue
Well it's very very fine

Golly, Mister, where you going?
You'll be late for work
Careful or you'll drop your briefcase Jesus, what a jerk
There he goes Down to the subway
Off to catch the train
Too bad for him
He forgot his umbrella
Poor Mr. Sheep

Let's go back to yesterday
When a phone call cost a dime
In New Orleans, just a nickel
Turn back the hands of time
Turn back the hands of time

Picture a room with a window
A sofa and some chairs

Everyone has gone away

Can you hear me? Can you hear me?

No one cared enough to stay

Can you hear me? Can you hear me?

Waitin' for come rain to fall
Waitin' for some mail to come
Waitin' for the dawn again
Old man on the farm

Milk the cow slop the pigs
Sweeping out the chicken house
Drinking whiskey in the barn

It all began in grammar school
And on the beach
Everybody graduate, there we were
Off we went to junior high, there we were
Everybody graduate
Off we went to high school
Someone of us
On the beach he was, and there he stayed

She's only a girl
With a voice peculiar
And eyes a strange hue
She's born to wilful
Tried to help her some
But she's impervious to change

She dresses in black tar

Gonna take off my pants [Repeat: x4]

And your mama can't stop me
And your papa can't stop me
And the police can't stop me
No one can stop me

Gonna do it right now

No one likes us
I don't know why.
We may not be perfect
But heaven knows we try.
But all around even our old friends put us down.
Let's drop the big one and see what happens.

We give them money

Left los angeles a short while ago
Flew 'cross the country back to buffalo
Walked around through the sleet and the snow
With a red bandana on my head
Saw my momma on 12th and grand
Standing in the alley with the junkyard man
They were both so loaded they could hardly stand
Talkin' 'bout going to mexico

Last night I saw Lester Maddox on a TV show
With some smart ass New York Jew
And the Jew laughed at Lester Maddox
And the audience laughed at Lester Maddox too

Well, he may be a fool but he's our fool
If they think they're better than him, they're wrong
So I went to the park and I took some paper along

I never drink in the afternoon
I never drink alone
But I sure do like a drink or two
When I get home

Let me tell you what I do
I sit here in this chair
I pour myself some whiskey

In America you'll get food to eat
Won't have to run through the jungle
And scuff up your feet
You'll just sing about Jesus and drink wine all day
It's great to be an American

Ain't no lions or tigers
Ain't no mamba snake

You're still the same girl you always were
You're still the same girl you always were

A few more nights on the street, that's all
A few more holes in your arm
A few more years with me, that's all

You're still the same girl

Close your eyes now, little girl
They don't want to hear you cryin'
You never had a chance
You never had a chance

It's a great big dirty world
If they say it ain't, they're lyin'
Sandman's coming soon

Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
Short people got no reason
To live

They got little hands
Little eyes
They walk around

All dressed up, nowhere to go
Looks so easy but it isn't you know
Hard to find what you're dreamin' of
But there's something special about our love

Different people, different worlds
You just call me, and I'll be there for you
We belong together you know it's true

I saw your name, baby
In a telephone booth
And it told all about you, mama
Boy, I hope it was the truth

I took down your number
Looked up your address, Sue
And I was hopin' that maybe

Was a little girl
Maybe five-foot-two
Had the cutest little feet
Made my heart go tweet-tweet
Quite a pleasant disposition
Then came a pretty young French girl, mmm
Whom I met in Las Vegas
When I was there with my parents

Welcome, welcome, welcome
To this great arena
Durham, North Carolina
The heart of the research triangle
We've come to this particular place tonight
We've gotta look at things from every angle
We need some answers to some complicated questions
If we're going to get it right

What can you do to amuse me
Now that there's nothing to do
The TV set's busted and can't get a picture
The radio plays nothing but news

Why don't you tickle me
Gee whiz won't that be fine
What a great idea

Into a life of pain came something beautiful
Someone who loved me much as I love her
There have been trials and tribulations, and not just a few
But we made it through
And now the time's at hand

We're gonna get married
And have everything

The time for us to say goodbye is near
The day I hoped would never come is here
Though many hearts are broken we must somehow carry on
Cause I think you're gonna miss me when I'm gone

I thought my life was over when we met
So little to remember, so much to forget
Though it was you who saw me through the darkness to the dawn

The time for us to say goodbye is near
The day I hoped would never come is here
Though many hearts are broken we must somehow carry on
Cause I think you're gonna miss me when I'm gone

I thought my life was over when we met
So little to remember, so much to forget

Very far away, in a foreign land
Lives the yellow woman and the yellow man
He's been around for many-a-year
They say, they were there, before we were here
Eatin' rice all day
While the children play
You see he believes
In the family

You've got a friend in me
You've got a friend in me
When the road looks rough ahead
And you're miles and miles
From your nice warm bed
You just remember what your old pal said
Boy, you've got a friend in me
Yeah, you've got a friend in me
