GOIN' BACK
In a foreign land

There were creatures at play

Running hand in hand

Leading nowhere to stay

Driven to the mountains high

They were sunken in the cities deep

Livin' in my sleep.

I feel like goin' back

Back where there's nowhere to stay

When fire fills the sky

I'll still remember that day

These rocks I'm climbin' down

Have already left the ground

Careening through space.

I used to build these buildings

I used to walk next to you

Their shadows tore us apart

And now we do what we do

Driven to the mountains high

Sunken in the cities deep

Livin' in our sleep.

I feel like goin' back

Back where there's nowhere to stay.

COMES A TIME
Comes a time when you're driftin'

Comes a time when you settle down

Comes a light feelin's liftin'

Lift that baby right up off the ground.

Oh, this old world keeps spinning round

It's a wonder tall trees ain't layin' down

There comes a time.

You and I we were captured

We took our souls and we flew away

We were right we were giving

That's how we kept what we gave away

Oh, this old world keeps spinning round

It's a wonder tall trees ain't layin' down

There comes a time.

Oh, this old world keeps spinning round
It's a wonder tall trees ain't layin' down
There comes a time.

LOOK OUT FOR MY LOVE
There's a lot to learn

For wastin' time

There's a heart that burns

There's an open mind.

Look out for my love, look out for my love

Look out for my love, look out for my love

You own it

You own it now

You own it.

There's a weight on you

But you can't feel it

Livin' like I do

It's hard for you to see it.

Was I hurt too bad

Can I show you daylight

How could I be sad

When I know that you might.

Look out for my love, look out for my love

Look out for my love, look out for my love.

Look out for my love

It's in your neighborhood

I know things are gonna change

But I can't say bad or good.

Silver wings of mornin'

Shinin' in the gray day

While the ice is formin'

On a lonely runway.

Hydraulic wipers pumpin'

'Til the window glistens

Somethin' sayin' somethin'

No one seems to listen.

Men with walkie-talkies

Men with flashlights wavin'

Up upon the tower

Time reads daylight savings.

I'm home again to you babe

You know it makes me wonder

Sittin' in the quiet slipstream

In the thunder.

Look out for my love, look out for my love

Look out for my love, look out for my love

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

And so do I.

It's gonna take a lotta love

To get us thru the night.

It's gonna take a lotta love

To make things work out right.

So if you are out there waitin'

I hope you show up soon,

'Cause my heart needs relatin'

Not solitude.

Gotta lotta love Gotta 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.

It's gonna take a lotta love

PEACE OF MIND
You know it takes a long long time
You know it takes a long long time
You love her so and still you know
That you will never want to let her go
Unless you leave her first
Then you come out on top
But still there's just one thing
You haven't got

Peace of mind

like when you treated her kind
It's hard to face that open space

You know it takes a long long time
You know it takes a long long time
When first you gave and shared your soul
Shouldered all these things that take their toll
She knows your weak spot

but she still got you hot
And so you do it again

reveal the lines within
And go for peace of mind
Like when you treated her kind
It's hard to face that open space

I'm looking for peace of mind
Anywhere you can find
Still seeking for peace of mind

You know it takes a long long time

HUMAN HIGHWAY
I come down from the misty mountain
I got lost in the human highway
Take my head refreshing fountain
Take my eyes from what they've seen
Take my head and change my mind
How could people get so unkind?

I come down from the crowded mansion
I went lookin' for the D.J's daughter
Since that day I heard it mentioned
That my name is on the line
Now my name is on the line
How could people get so unkind?

Now my name is on the line

How could people get so unkind?

I come down from the misty mountain
I got lost in the human highway
Take my head refreshing fountain
Take my eyes from what they've seen
Take my head and change my mind
How could people get so unkind?

ALREADY ONE
What can I do? What can I say?
Running down the suspicious highway
I can't forget how love let me down
And when we meet it still gets in my way
But we're already one, already one
Now only time can come between us
'Cause we're already one, our little son
Won't let us forget

Your laughin' eyes your crazy smile
Every time I look in his face
I can't believe how love lasts a while
And looks like forever in the first place
But we're already one, already one
Now only time can come between us
'Cause we're already one, our little son
Won't let us forget

In my new life I'm travellin' light
With eyes wide open for the next move
I can't go wrong till I get right
But I'm not fallin' back in the same groove
But we're already one, already one
Now only time can come between us
'Cause we're already one, our little son
Won't let us forget

FIELD OF OPPORTUNITY
I've been wrong before I'll be there again
I don't have any answers my friend
Just this pile of old questions
My memory left me here
In the field of opportunity

It's ploughin' time again

I'm goin' back to my house
But I'm not goin' now
It's too early to be leavin' here somehow
Let me bore you with this story
How my lover let me down
Well I'll borrow seeds of sadness from the ground
In the field of opportunity
It's ploughin' time again
There ain't no way of teeling
Where the seeds will rise and when
I'll just wait around till springtime
And then I'll find a friend
In the field of opportunity
It's ploughin' time again

When I'm all done cultivatin'
I'll be rockin' in my porch
Tryin' to picture you
And where you are
There'll be no hesitatin'
When cupid lights his torch
With these headlights
Comin' down the hill
Between the stars
In the field of opportunity
It's ploughin' time again
There ain't no way of teeling
Where the seeds will rise and when
I'll just wait around till springtime
And then I'll find a friend
In the field of opportunity
It's ploughin' time again

MOTORCYCLE MAMA
Motorcycle Mama won't you lay your big spike down
Motorcycle Mama won't you lay your big spike down
I always get in trouble when you bring it round
Motorcycle Mama won't you lay it down.

I'm runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin' down the proud highway
Yeah, I'm runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin' down the proud highway
And as long as I keep movin'
I won't need a place to stay.

Motorcycle Mama won't you lay your big spike down
Motorcycle Mama won't you lay your big spike down
I always get in trouble when you bring that round
Motorcycle Mama won't you lay it down.

Well I'm here to deliver I hope you can read my mail
I just escaped last night from the memory county jail
I see your box is open and you flag is up
My message is ready If there's time enough.

Motorcycle Mama won't you lay your big spike down
Motorcycle Mama won't you lay your big spike down
Motorcycle Mama won't you lay it down

FOUR STRONG WINDS
Think I'll go out to Alberta,

Weather's good there in the fall.

I Got some friends that I can go to working for,

Still I wish you'd change your mind

If I asked you one more time,

But we've been through this a hundred times or more.

Four strong winds that blow lonely,

Seven seas that run high,

All those things that don't change,

Come what may.

If the good times are all gone,

Then I'm bound for moving on

I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way
If I get there before the snow flies,

And if things are looking good,

You could meet me if I send you down the fare.

But by then it would be winter,

not to much for you to do

and those wind sure can blow cold way out there.

Four strong winds that blow lonely,

Seven seas that run high,

All those things that don't change,

Come what may.

If the good times are all gone,

So I'm bound for moving on.

I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way

Still I wish you'd change your mind
If I asked you one more time,

But we've been through there a hundred times or more
Four strong winds that blow lonely,
Seven seas that run high,
All those things that don't change,
Come what may.

If the good times are all gone,
Then I'm bound for moving on

I'll look for you if I'm ever back this way
