Just like a young boy running down the road
I'm singing out the same old song
Can't go back the way I started from
The road goes on and on
Won't you help me, help me, help me, help me,
Help me, help me, help me, help me,
Take my way on home
Help me make my way on home
After Berlin.
Lights are shining in the German sky
Cosmic walls between the moon and I
Don't know where I started from
So won't you take me, take me, take me, take me,
Take me, take me, take me, take me,
Just the way I am
Ah, take me, just the way I am
After Berlin.
All day cruising down the corridor
Seeing things I never seen before
Tomorrow morning in old Berlin
Where they lock you out or lock you in
Won't you save me, save me, save me, save me,
Save me, save me, save me, save me,
From the final day
Save me from the final day
After Berlin.
Just like a young boy running down the road
I'm singing out the same old song
I can't go back the way I used to go
The road goes on and on
Won't you help me, help me, help me, help me,
Help me, help me, help me, help me,
Find my way back home
Won't you help me make my way on home
After Berlin.
Help me, help me, help me, help me.
Help me, help me, help me, help me.
Help me, help me, help me, help me
AIN’T IT THE TRUTH

Eat ripe tomatoes
You know what I mean.
Ain't it the truth
Ain't it the truth, now, baby

Your majesty
Your curvaceousness

Make me feel all right, now

AMBER JEAN
Every morning got sun to shine
Every day got plenty of time
Every night there's a moon so fine
There for you, my Amber Jean.
Still some lines that should get crossed
Still some coins that might be tossed
Still some love that hasn't been lost
There for you, my Amber Jean.
Amber Jean, oh, Amber Jean,
Prettiest eyes I've ever seen.
Every morning got sun to shine
Every day got plenty of time
Every night there's a moon so fine

AMERICAN DREAM
AMERICAN DREAM
I used to see you on every T.V.
Your smiling face looked back at me.
I used to see you on every T.V.
Your smiling face looked back at me.
Then they caught you with the girl next door,
People's money piled on the floor,
Accusations that you try to deny,
Revelations and rumors begin to fly.
Now you think about reaching out
Now you think about reaching out
Maybe get some help from above.
Now you think about reaching out
Maybe get some help from above.
Reporters crowd around your house.
Going through your garbage like a pack of hounds,
Speculating what they may find out,
It don't matter now, you're all washed up.
You wake up in the middle of the night.
You wake up in the middle of the night.
Your sheets are wet and your face is white,
You tried to make a good thing last,
How could something so good, go bad, so fast?
American dream, American dream
American dream, American dream
American dream, American dream.
Don't know when things went wrong,
Don't know when things went wrong,
Might have been when you were young and strong.

BAD FOG OF LONELINESS
Bad fog of loneliness
Put a cloud on my single-mindedness
I dream of sweet caress
From you.
What makes tomorrow guess
What makes me take from me, and put aside the rest
I dream of sweet caress
From you.
So long woman I am gone
So much pain to go through
Come back maybe I was wrong
Bad fog of loneliness
Put a cloud on my single-mindedness
I dream of sweet caress

BAD NEWS
Bad news is come to town
He's walking three feet off the ground
He's ordering another round.
Bound by his own ideas,
Lost, doesn't know where she is found.
Bad news is fighting mad
He went and lost the biggest prize he ever had
But a prizefighter can't be sad
When he smiles under golden lights and lamps
Taking daylight fights again and again.

BEAUTIFUL BLUEBIRD
One mornin' when I was ridin'
In my old pickup truck
A beautiful bluebird came flyin' down
My eyes caught the color
As it lead me down the road
Dippin' and bobbin' in the sun
I've never seen that blue before
'cept in one place
And she's not here with me right now
So I followed all the way
To the top of the hill
That's where she kept on climbin' Lord
Someday I will
Beautiful bluebird
See how she flies
Looks like she's always goin' home
If heaven had a window
Where the sun came shinin' through
Like a beautiful bluebird
I'd come flyin' back to you
Well it kind of struck me funny
Sort of made me smile
After all these years on this old road
How God could show me somethin'
Never say a word
There's so much that I don't know
I've never seen that blue before
Except in one place
And she's not here with me right now
I followed all the way to the top of the hill
That's where she kept on climbin' Lord
And someday I will

BOX CAR
I'm just a passenger on this old freight train
I ride the boxcar through the night
I doesn't matter where I might get off
I doesn't matter where I lie.
I've been to cities, I've been to countries
I've left a lover in many towns
I don't care if I ever get back to
Where I'd already been around.
I'm like an eagle, I like to fly high
I'm like a snake, I like to lay low
I'm like a black man, I'm like a white man
Maybe a red man, I don't know.
I'm just a passenger on this old freight train
I ride the boxcar through the night
I doesn't matter where I might get off

BURNED
Been burned and with both feet on the ground,
I've learned that it's painful comin' down.
No use runnin' away, and there's no time left to stay.
Now I'm finding out that it's so confusin',
No time left and I know I'm losin'.
Flashed and I think I'm fallin' down,
Crashed, and my ears can't hear a sound.
No use runnin' away, and there's no time left to stay.
Now I'm finding out that it's so confusin',
No time left and I know I'm losin'.

COUNTRY GIRL
Winding paths through tables and glass
First fall was new
Now watch the summer pass
So close to you.
Too late to keep the change,
Too late to keep the change,
Too late to pay,
No time to stay the same
Too young to leave.
No pass out sign on the door set me thinking
No pass out sign on the door set me thinking
Are waitresses paying the price of their winking?
While stars sit in bars and decide what their drinking,
They drop by to die 'cause it's faster than sinking.
Too late to keep the change,
Too late to keep the change,
Too late to pay,
No time to stay the same
Too late to keep the change,
Too late to pay,
No time to stay the same
Too young to leave.
Find out that now was the answer
Find out that now was the answer
To answers that you gave later
She did the things that we both did before, now,
But who forgave her.
If I could stand to see her crying
If I could stand to see her crying
I would tell her not to care.
When she learns of all your lyin'
Will she join you there?
Country girl I think you're pretty,
Country girl I think you're pretty,
Got to make you understand,
Have no lovers in the city,
Let me be your country man.
Got to make you understand
DANCE, DANCE, DANCE
Never thought love had a rainbow on it
Used to think a cloud was a nightmare
That was up until I first met you
Now I go around hoping you care.
Dance, dance, feel it all around you
Dance, dance, dance,
Never thought love had a rainbow on it
See the girl dance
See the girl dance.
Mississippi mud never touched her fingers
California sand lies in her hand
Love her more than life as the daylight lingers
Early in the morning I'll be her man.
Dance, dance, feel it all around you
Dance, dance, dance,
Mississippi mud never touched her fingers
See the girl dance
See the girl dance.
DAY AND NIGHT WE WALK THESE AISLES
Day and night we walk these aisles
In the same old movie show
And look for someone to feel for a while.
There's matinees on Saturdays
When we sit in the velvet chairs
Popcorn boxes fly through the air.
Sad movies, they make you cry
Sad movies make you wonder why
You ever came.
Do something to me,
Don't make me wait
Stab something through me,
Don't cry out the good things
That I appreciate.
Day and night we walk these aisles
In the same old movie show
And look for someone to feel for a while
The light's go on, the movie's gone
And the manager's up there
He says he doesn't care
And we take our money back.
Sad movies, they make you cry
Sad movies make you wonder why
You ever came.
DEPRESSION BLUES
Got a woman that loves me
and I love her so
But she's all dressed up now
With nowhere to go.
All our old hang-outs
Are boarded up and closed
Or bein' bought by somebody
Nobody knows.
But things ain't that bad
We still got the kids
We're goin' out to the movies
Right after this.
Goin' back to school
Savin' up my tuition
Gonna rewrite all the rules
On the old blackboard.
'Cause it seems things today
There ain't no magic in 'em
They don't cut the grade
Like they used to.
Depression blues
Nowhere to go
Bein' bought by somebody
Nobody knows.
Is there anybody out there
With a voice loud and clear
Gonna sing all the words
We all wanna hear.
Depression blues
Nowhere to go
Bein' bought by somebody
Nobody knows.
DOGHOUSE
Well, I came home late one night
And much to my surprise
I was thrown right across the kitchen floor
She hit me right between the eyes.
Now I'm living in the doghouse, doghouse
Doghouse, doghouse,
Doghouse, doghouse.
I was out with a friend of mine
We were feeling mighty fine
And we sure was movin' fast
And I didn't make it back on time
And she put me in the doghouse, doghouse
Doghouse, doghouse,
Doghouse, doghouse.
I had a big tall red with one of my friends
He was feeling mighty fine
When I came home late that night
She hit me right between the eyes
And she put me in the doghouse, doghouse
Doghouse, doghouse,
Doghouse, doghouse.
She put me in the doghouse,
Doghouse, doghouse,
I'm living in the doghouse,
Doghouse, doghouse,
Doghouse, doghouse.
So if you find yourself in a party mood
Let your conscience be your guide
Don't be like me and let Lefty win
Or you'll find yourself outside
Living in the doghouse, doghouse
Doghouse, doghouse,
Doghouse, doghouse
DANCE, DANCE, DANCE

DO I HAVE TO COME RIGHT OUT AND SAY IT
Do I have to come right out and say it,
Tell you that you look so fine?
Do I have to come right out and ask you to be mine?
If it was a game I could play it,
Trying to make it but I'm losing time
I got to bring you in, you're overworking my mind.
Indecision is crowding me,
I have no room to spare
And I can't believe she cared
Like a dream she has taken me
And now I don't know where
And a part of me is scared
The part of me I shared
Once before.

DON’T PITY ME BABE
Young Pegi just died today
Young Pegi just died today
And I guess nobody even knows the case
But the way the story goes
She just ran out of clothes
No will this world
Just for the peg down
Last words, can't talk
And then she wrote.
Some people can't stand no rain
Some people can't stand no rain
When it's cloudy outside
You can't see the sun
But on a bright and sunny day
The people all go away
Except one
Oh no don't pity me babe
I know I'm alright
O yeah, I'm alright.
Don't see no tears around me
Don't see no tears around me
I don't take too much stock
In the things people say
I'm not saying that they're wrong
They've just been standing around too long
Gone bad,
Oh no, don't pity me babe
I know I'm alright
O yeah, I'm alright.
Can't ride my broom no more
Can't ride my broom no more
'Cause the landlady's taken
To sweeping the floor
I guess I'll go back to my place
And occupy a little space
John Doe,
Oh no, don't pity me babe
I know I'm alright
O yeah, I'm alright.
The streets are crammed, can't walk
Might find somebody and talk
I can't find nobody who
Say boo, guess who
'Cause that street is paved with aires
And everybody is putting on theirs
Can't breathe
Oh no, don't pity me babe
I know I'm alright
O yeah, I'm alright.
He's standing outside my door
He's standing outside my door
But he won't ring the bell
And he's just to scared to knock
And he's puzzled
And he's young
And he's doing what's already been done
One more
Oh no, don't pity me babe
I know I'm alright
O yeah, I'm alright.
Oh no, don't pity me babe
I know I'm alright
DON’T SPOOK THE HORSE
If you want to go riding in the tall green grass,
Try to not spook the horse.
If you want to pet that old hound dog,
Make sure he ain't rolled in shit.
There's a pretty little girl, and she's living down there,
Down on her daddy's farm.
If you're going to mess around with that chick,
Be sure to close the barn door.
Try to not spook the horse.
Make sure she ain't rolled in shit.
There's a field of green and an old red barn
Deep in the valley of hearts.
If you want to go riding in the tall green grass
Try to not spook the horse.
Try to not spook the horse.
Try to not spook the horse
DON’T TAKE YOUR LOVE AWAY FROM ME
There's just one thing I'm askin' of you
There's just one thing, baby, I'm askin' of you
Don't ever leave me, baby
No matter what you do
There's just one thing I'm askin' of you.
Don't take your love away from me
Don't take your love away from me
'Cause if you ever leave me, baby
How wrong you would be
Don't take your love away from me.
When I make a promise, you can bet that it's true
When I make a promise, baby, you can bet that it's true
So put your chips down, baby
Empty your pockets, too
'Cause when I make a promise, you can bet that it's true.
Don't take your love away from me
Don't take your love away from me
'Cause if you ever leave me, baby
How wrong you would be
Don't take your love away from me
DOWN DOWN DOWN
Come to see her in the river
She'll be there to wave to you
In the hope that you'll forgive her
She will join you there.
Find out that now was the answer to answers that you gave later
She did the things that we both did before now and who forgave her?
Now you see how down you've fallen
Now you hear your conscience call
Thank yourself alone for not stalling
I'm not there to call
Call me a fool, 'cause I need her and see her but now you're now
Something inside you will tell you
I'm wise to what you're spreading round.
If I could stand to see her cryin'
I would tell her not to care
When she learns of all your lyin'
Will she join you there?
Find out that now was the answer to answers that you gave later
