. . .


There comes a time,
In each man's life,
To find your way,
Or fall behind

Who you are,
Is the path you take,
And I'll find my way ,
Through your mistake

Sometimes your tears,
Are your bridge to the sky,
But you can't trust souls,
With no truth in their eyes

Who you are,
Is the path you take,
And I'll find my way,
Through your mistake

Time will heal,
And all we know,
If nothing's learned,
Baby, nothing grows

Time will heal,
And all we know,
Everything stays the same,
Nothing changes,
Nothing changes

A man's not a man,
When he takes the lower road,
Dragging his tail,
To cover his tracks

When you plant the seeds,
Of doubt in my mind,
You know you run the risk,
Of being left behind

When I turn the mirror,
I turn it back on myself,
I can see your way,
Was a cry for help

Time will heal,
And all we know,
If nothing's learned,
Baby, nothing grows

Time will heal,
For all we know,
Everything stays the same,
Nothing changes,
Nothing changes

Crash on the levee, mama,
Water's gonna overflow,
Swamp's gonna rise,
No boat's gonna row.
Now, you can train on down
To Williams Point,
You can bust your feet,
You can rock this joint.
But oh mama, ain't you gonna miss your best friend now?
You're gonna have to find yourself
Another best friend, somehow.

Now, don't you try an' move me,
You're just gonna lose.
There's a crash on the levee
And, mama, you've been refused.
Well, it's sugar for sugar
And salt for salt,
If you go down in the flood,
It's gonna be your own fault.
Oh mama, ain't you gonna miss your best friend now?
You're gonna have to find yourself
Another best friend, somehow.

Well, that high tide's risin',
Mama, don't you let me down.
Pack up your suitcase,
Mama, don't you make a sound.
Now, it's king for king,
Queen for queen,
It's gonna be the meanest flood
That anybody's seen.
Oh mama, ain't you gonna miss your best friend now?
Yes, you're gonna have to find yourself
Another best friend, somehow.

. . .


Sailin' on, sailin' on
I can hear sweet voices singin, hear sweet music playin
Sailin' on, sailin' on
Oh, I wish you were here with me when I'm sailin on

Well, the spring, summer, autumn, and winter
All I know, you're gonna lay your head on my pillow
Ooh, on a normal night, spring, summer, autumn, winter
All I know, you're gonna tell me which you prefer

Sailin' on, sailin' on
Oh, I wish you were here with me when I'm sailin on
Everybody clap your hands

Sailin' on, sailin' on
Oh, I wish you could be with me when I'm...
Oh, I wish you could be with me when I'm...
Oh, I wish you could be with me when I'm...
Oh, I wish you could be with me when I'm...
Sailin' on
Everybody clap your hands

. . .


Did you drop your baby at the bottom of the blues?
Well, everybody's gotta suffer for all the things you choose
You say, I need you sweetie, but I ain't got the nerve
You can do what you please, but you get what you deserve

Don't know if they told ya, in the year that I come from
They were talkin' 'bout a revolution, talking about Vietnam
Well, you can't quite remember, baby ain't you heard?
You can do what you please, but you get what you deserve

Sooner or later, some kind of savior
Is gonna come down through the roof
Do me a favor, let me off easy when you do

I don't need no doctor, I don't need no truth
I'm goin' to California, baby I'm bulletproof
Just a strange believer, runnin' on the word
You can do what you please, but you get what you deserve

Get what you deserve (repeat)

. . .


Was a time when I was younger
I saw things get out of hand
Now I'm older in the story
I realize where I been
It's time I finally said

These days is almost gone
These days is almost gone
These days is almost gone
Don't be late, 'cause the sun won't wait

Takin' time and patience
To turn ourselves around
And baby it's just learning
To live with what we found
I love to hear the sound

When you wait too long
To get it right
Life can pass you by
The second chance
Could be your last
I'm reaching for the light
Yes I am

These days is almost gone
These days is almost gone
These days is almost gone
Don't be late, 'cause the sun won't wait

. . .


I am my father's child
Am my father's child
Train that's bound for nowhere
Runnin' free and wild
I am my father's child

The world has passed me by
World has passed me by
See the comin' shadows
Ain't got time to cry
The world has passed me by

I am already free
Am already free
Goin' be like Christmas
When the devil come for me
Am already free

I wanna know how it feels to be kissed
Cold chills running up and down my spine
I wanna know how it feels to be talked to
Until words drive me stoned out my mind

I know how it feels to be lonely
I know how it feels to be blue
Come and show me how it feels to really be loved
And I spend my time loving you

I wanna know how it feels to be needed
I wanna know by the end of the night
I wanna know how it feels to have a girl
Who loves me and treats me just right

I know how it feels to be cheated on
I know how it feels to be blue
Come and show me how it feels to really be loved
And I spend my time loving you

Well I know there's pot of gold at the end of the rainbow
That was such a long time ago
Come and show me how it feels to really be loved
And I won't be blue anymore

Hold on, baby hold on.
Love me, try love me
I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know how it feels
To be loved

. . .


You send up the ladder
Down without a rope
Was the only time it mattered
Ow, when I was broke

Then you're my second nature
A-coming over me
And though I might be shakin'
I'm standing on my feet

Goin' 'round in circles
Pickin' out a cue
Travelin' with no memory
Ow, in my shoe

Down don't bother me
If the music say
You can take a picture baby
Time won't care
And you're my second nature
A-coming over me
And though I might be shakin'

Down don't bother me no more
Down don't bother me no more
Down don't bother me no more
Down don't bother me no more

. . .


She got high on lovin'
Sorry but I'm passing through
Maybe I got a toothpick
In the bottom of my walkin' shoes
This ain't a town for tear drops
Or tattoo regrets
Nah, yeah

Sneakin' out the back way
In the middle of a starry night
Ain't gonna be remembered
For all the things that I did right
Can't say I need you, can't say I don't
But I won't

Chorus:
And no need to miss me when I'm gone
And no need to miss me when I'm gone
And no need to miss me when I'm gone
And no need to miss me when I'm gone
I wouldn't have very long

Get Out My Life Woman/Who Knows

[No lyrics]

. . .


You were talking and I thought I heard you say
"Please leave me alone.
Nothing in this world can make me stay.
I'd rather go back, I'd rather go back home."

But if you believed in me like I believe in you,
We could have a love so true, we would go on endlessly.
And I know anyday, anyday, I will see you smile.
Any way, any way, only for a little while.

Well someday baby, I know you're gonna need me
When this old world has got you down.
I'll be right here, so woman call me
And I'll never ever let you down.

Chorus

And I know anyday, anyday, I will see you smile.
Any way, any way, only for a little while.

To break the glass and twist the knife into yourself;
You've got to be a fool to understand.
To bring your woman back home after she's left you for another,
You've got to be a, you've got to be a man.

Chorus

Anyday, anyday, I will see you, I will see you smile.
Any way, any way, only for a little while.
Anyday, anyday, I will see you smile.
Any way, any way, just for a little, just for a little while.
