- 01. learning to fly
well i started out down a dirty road
started out all alone
and the sun went down as i crossed the hill
and the town lit up the world got still
i'm learning to fly but i ain't got wings
coming down is the hardest thing
well the good ol' days may not return
and the rocks might melt and the sea may burn
- 03. into the great wide open
eddie waited 'til he finished high school
he went to hollywood got a tattoo
he met a girl out there with a tattoo too
the future was wide open
they moved into a place they both could afford
he found a night club he could work at the door
she had a guitar and she taught him some chords
the sky was the limit
- 05. the dark of the sun
in the dark of the sun will you save me a place
give me hope give me comfort

i saw you sail across a river
underneath orion's sword
in your eyes there was a freedom
i had never known before
hey yeah yeah
- 11. you and i will meet again
you and i will meet again
when we're least expecting it
one day in some far off place
i will recognize your face
i won't say goodbye my friend
for you and i will meet again
i heard you singing to no one
i saw you dancing all alone
- 12. makin' some noise
when i was a young boy i was workin' for the state
i wasn't makin' much money i was stayin' out late
go down at nighttime and play music in the bars
take my breaks out underneath the stars
i was makin' some noise
i was a workin' boy up at the top of my voice
sayin' look at me mama i'm makin' some noise
i had to rock the boat i had to shake the tree

I'm not much on mystery
Yeah you gotta be careful what you dream
I thought this might pass with time
Yeah I thought I was satisfied
But oh baby let me tell you, I got a thing about you
Baby let me tell you, I got a thing about you
It don't matter what you say
- All Or Nothin'
Your daddy was a Sgt. Major
You didn't wanna but he made you
Wipe his brass from time to time
It left a picture in your mind. You know? You know?
[Chorus:]
You want it all, you want it all
All or nothin'
- American Dream Plan B
[Verse 1:]
I’m gonna make my way through this world someday
I don’t care what nobody say
American dream, political scheme
I’m gonna find out for myself someday
But I’m half-lit, I can’t dance for shit
But I see what I want, I go after it
And my girl’s alright, treats me nice
- American Girl
Well, she was an American girl
Raised on promises
She couldn't help thinkin'
That there was a little more to life somewhere else
After all it was a great big world
With lots of places to run to
And if she had to die tryin'
She had one little promise she was gonna keep
- Big Weekend
there's some friends that i know
living in this town and i've come far to see them
gonna track em' down

left a tip for the maid and i packed up my guitar
dropped my key on the counter rented a car
gonna hook up with em' later and go hit the bars
i need a big weekend kick up the dust
- Breakdown
It's alright if you love me,
It's alright if you don't
I'm not afraid of you runnin' away honey,
Iv'e got this feeling you won't
Say there ain't no use in pretending,
Your eyes give you away
Something inside you is feeling like I do,
- Century City
Sometimes I wanna leave you
Sometimes I wanna go
Right back where I came from
Back where I belong
But it never lasts for too long
Always goes away
Well I still don't look for reasons
That's much too hard these days
- christmas all over again
well it's christmas time again decorations are all hung by the fire
everybody's singin' all the bells are ringing out
and it's christmas all over again yeah again
long-distance relatives haven't seen'em in a long long time
yeah i kind of missed 'em i just don't wanna kiss 'em no
it's christmas all over again yeah again
and all over town little kids gonna get down
and christmas is a rockin' time put your body next to mine
- Dogs On The Run
Well we come with what was on our backs
Yeah, when the leaves had died and all turned black
Back when the wind was cold and blew them 'round
When we laid our blankets on the ground
Yeah and I woke up feelin' hungry
Lookin' straight into the sun, and left a cold night on the ground
Like a dog on the run
- Don't Come Around Here No More
Don't come around here no more
Don't come around here no more
Whatever you're lookin for
Hey don't come around here no more
I've given up stop
I've given up stop
I've given up stop
- Don't Do Me Like That
I was talking with a friend of mine
Said a woman had hurt his pride
Told him and she loved him so an
Turned around and let him go
Then he said, "you better watch your step"
Or your gonna get hurt yourself
Someone's gonna tell you lies
Cut you down to size
- Even The Losers
Well, it was nearly all summer we sat on your roof
Yeah, we smoked cigarettes and we stared at the moon
And I'd show you stars you never could see
Baby, it couldn't have been that easy to forget about me
Baby, time meant n othing, anything seemed real
Yeah, you could kiss like fire and you made me feel
Like every word you said was meant to be
- Good Enough
She was hell on her mama
Impossible to please
She wore out her daddy
Got the best of me
And there's somethin' about her
That only I can see
And that's good enough
- Here Comes My Girl
You know , sometimes, I don’t know why,
But this old town just seems so hopeless
I ain’t really sure, but it seems I remember the good times
Were just a little bit more in focus
But when she puts her arms around me,
I can, somehow, rise above it
Yeah man, when I got that little girl standing right by my side,
- Hometown Blues
Baby can't wait
Baby gotta go
Gonna do a number
On the late night show
Do a little song
Do a little dance
Gonna make the best
Of her big chance
- I Need To Know
Well the talk on the street
Says you might go solo
A good friend of mine saw
You leavin' by the back door
I need to know
(I need to know)
I need to know
- I Should Have Known It
I should have known it
I should have seen
Leave it to you
To treat me mean
Every promise
Was just a runaround
I should have known it
- It'll All Work Out
She wore faded jeans and soft black leather
She had eyes so blue they looked like weather
When she needed me I wasn't around
That's the way it goes, it'll all work out
There were times apart, there were times together
I was pledged to her for worse or better
When it mattered most I let her down
- King's Road
Well they took me out on the old Kings Road
I didn't know which way to go
There was people all around wearin' funny lookin' clothes
Some boys, some girls, some I don't know
I didn't know which way to go
I'm a new world boy on the old Kings Road
- Last Dance With Mary Jane
She grew up in a Indiana town,
Had a good lookin' mama who never was around.
But she grew up tall and she grew up right
With them Indiana boys on an Indiana night.
Well she moved down here at the age of eighteen,
She blew the boys away; was more than they'd seen.
I was introduced and we both started groovin'
- Learning To Fly
Well I started out down a dirty road
Started out all alone
And the sun went down as I crossed the hill
And the town lit up, the world got still
I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
- Lonesome Sundown
She's a lonely girl
Lost in the world
Got love in her eyes for me
She's a sweet young thing
Brings me dreams
In a box she made for me
Lonesome sundown, this is gonna be hard
- Luna
White light cut a scar in the sky
Thin line of silver
Night was all clouded with dreams
Wind made me shiver
Black and yellow pools of light
Outside my window
Luna come to me tonight
I am a prisoner
- Mary Jane's Last Dance
She grew up in an Indiana town,
Had a good-lookin' mama who never was around.
But she grew up tall and she grew up right
With them Indiana boys on them Indiana nights.
- Rebels
Honey don't walk out I'm too drunk to follow
You know you won't feel this way tomorrow
Well, maybe I'm a little rough around the edges
Inside a little hollow
I get faced with some things sometimes
That are so hard to swallow
Hey hey hey!
- Refugee
We got somethin', we both know it,
We don't talk too much about it.
Yeah it ain't no real big secret,
But somehow, we get around it.
It don't really matter to me baby,
You believe what you want to believe,
You don't have to live like a refugee.
- Refugee 80
We get somethin' we both know it, we don't talk too much about it.
Ain't no real big secret; all the same, 'somehow we get around it.
Listen, it don't really matter to me.
Baby, you believe what you wanna believe.
You see, you don't have to live like a refugee.
Somewhere, somehow, somebody must have kicked you around some.
Tell me why you wanna lay there, revel in your abandon.
Honey, it don't make no difference to me.
- Runnin' Down a Dream
It was a beautiful day, the sun beat down
I had the radio on, I was drivin'
Trees flew by, me and Del were singin' little Runaway
I was flyin'
[Chorus:]
- Sins of My Youth
You will find no wicked way in me
Look me over, you will see
You will find no weary change
I'm worn and wounded,
but still the same
Whoa
Let me tell you the truth
- Something Good Coming
I'm watching the water
Watching the coast
Suddenly I know
What I want the most
And I want to tell you
Still I hold back
I need some time
- Surrender
Don't go crazy now
Take it easy
I just can't hold out forever
Don't you lie to me?
You said me you love
Don't say you dont remember
- The Criminal Kind
You got a criminal mind, you got criminal looks
Boy you better look out, you're gonna get hooked
Don't you ever feel guilty when you come up short
Man you better be careful, you're gonna get caught
Cause you're the criminal kind, you're the criminal kind
Man what you gonna do? Where you gonna hide?
They're callin' you a sickness, disease of the mind
- The Last DJ
Well, you can't turn him into a company man
You can't turn him into a whore
And the boys upstairs
Just don't understand anymore
The top brass don't like him
Talking so much
And he won't play
- The Waiting
Oh baby don't it feel like heaven right now
Don't it feel like something from a dream
Yeah I've never known nothing quite like this
Don't it feel like tonight might never be again
Baby we know better than to try and pretend
No one coulda ever told me 'bout this
I said yeah yeah
- The Wild One, Forever
Well, the moon sank as the wind blew
And the streetlights sloWell the moon sank as the wind blew
The street lights slowly died
They call you the wild one, said stay 'way from her
Said she could love no one if she tried
But then somethin' I saw
In your eyes told me right away
- Too Good To Be True
Her imagination ran wild
Could this really happen to me?
She could barely hold back the tears
[Chorus:]
It was too good to be true
It was too good to be true
It was too good to be true
- Two Gunslingers
Two gunslingers, walked out in the street
And one said "I don't wanna fight no more"
And the other gunslinger thought about it
And he said, "yeah what are we fighting for?"
I'm t akin' control of my life,
I'm takin' control of my life
I'm takin' control of my life now,
- U Get Me High
I remember feeling like this
Diggin' was as a child
Inspiration in my fingertips
Imagination running wild
Ohhh ohhh, you get me high
You get me high
You give me something so deep
- You Don't Know How It Feels
Let me run with You tonight
I'll take You on a moonlight ride
There's someone I used to see
But she don't give a damn for me
But let me get to the point
Lets roll another joint
And turn the radio loud
- You Get Me High
Let's have another joint on me
Let's get as gone as we can be
And we'll float around the ceiling
Cause baby you get me high
Let's have a six pack of beer
Sit and watch the walls disappear
And we'll laugh and talk for hours
- You Got Lucky
You better watch what you say.
You better watch what you do to me.
Don't get carried away.
Girl, if you can do better than me, go...
Yeah, go...but, remember....
Chorus:
Good love is hard to find.
Good love is hard to find.
- Zombie Zoo
all down the street they're standin' in line
with white lipstick and one thing on their mind
hey little freak with the lunch pail purse
underneath the paint you're just a little girl
dancin' at the zombie zoo
painted in a corner and all you wanna do
is dance down at the zombie zoo
cute little dropout how come you pack a rod
