Ain't seen a night, things work out right, go by.
Things on my mind, and I just don't have the time, and it don't seem right. Ain't seen a day, that I don't hear people say, they know they're gonna' die. This may seem a little bit crazy, but I don't think you should be so lazy. If you think you've heard this before, well, stick around I'm gonna' tell you more. One just like the other, sin's a good man's brother, but is that right? You tell me that I don't, then I say I won't, but then I might. You said this is the way it's supposed to be, but it just don't seem right to me, and that's outta' sight. Some folks need an education, don't give up, or we'll loose the nation. You say we need a revolution? It seems to be the only solution. |

Aimless lady, is this your home town?
Tell me baby, tell me where you're bound. When our eyes met, you were in the very first row. I couldn't even guess your name, but I just had to know. You were meant for me, would you grab your coat and flee? You were a mystery, but you just had to be ... An aimless lady. Aimless lady. Aimless lady. Should I try, and satisfy, you lady? Ain't no lie, now we'll get by, my baby. If you can stand, a real good man, now lady, Take my hand, and understand, me baby. Take your time, you're doing fine, now lady. You got yours, and I got mine, now baby. Can you see, the way to be, now lady. Stay with me, and set me free, now baby. Aimless lady. Aimless lady. Aimless lady. You're mine aimless lady. Yeah, aimless lady. You're mine aimless lady. Mine, aimless lady. Oooo ... |

When I was feeling 'bout sixteen,
I never had no idea. Listen to me if you want to know what I mean, your expression will let me see. I never knew what I was looking for, I never had the time. And now that time has opened up my door, now I'm looking forward just to see what, just what's mine. When I was feeling 'bout eighteen, it's then when I began to see. No matter how hard you push on the door, it won't open without the key. Opportunity only knocks once, if you shut it out it's a sin. And when something keeps right on poundin', then, my friend, you'd better let it in. Now I feel just a little bit old and, sadness fills my brain. I can flash to future years and nothing is the same. Nothing is the same. Nothing is the same. Nothing is the same. |

I know all about you, your childhood days, Your mom and dad, your pretty face. Mean mistreater, if you need me, I'm needin' you to set me free. Mmmm ... |

Everybody, listen to me,
And return me, my ship. I'm your captain, I'm your captain, Although I'm feeling mighty sick. I've been lost now, days uncounted, And it's months since I've seen home. Can you hear me, can you hear me, Or am I all alone. If you return me, to my home port, I will kiss you mother earth. Take me back now, take me back now, To the port of my birth. Am I in my cabin dreaming, or are you really scheming, To take my ship away from me? You'd better think about it, I just can't live without it. So, please don't take my ship from me. Yeah, yeah, yeah ... I can feel the hand, of a stranger, And it's tightening, around my throat. Heaven help me, Heaven help me, Take this stranger from my boat.

I'm getting closer to my home ... Repeated to fade |

Hey, hey, mama; mama, what you tryin' to do?
You keep on talkin' to me, 'till your face turns blue. Well, do you think I'm a young boy, yet to make up my mind? Well, I'm just castin' all my toys, I'm gonna' leave what's behind me, behind. I'm gonna' leave what's behind me, behind. I saw an old high school friend, just the other day, He didn't ask me how I'd been, he asked me "how was my pay?" Now, do you call this a friendship, judging from what he said? If you do, I've a real tip: ain't nobody gonna' know about my bread. Ain't nobody gonna' know about my bread. If you got somebody, that you can trust to the very end, I said if you do, I want to be like you, 'cause you sure got a real good friend. You sure got a real good friend. Friend ... Friend ... |

Once I had a little girl
Sometimes I think about her But buddy, you know She's not really there When memories do call I just, I just can't live without her But trying all the time is so hard to bear Heartbreaker, can't take her Heartbreaker, bringing me down Heartbreaker, can't take her Heartbreaker, bringing me down I don't cry no more I live while I'm flying But I'll think back And you can hear me say Heartbreaker, can't take her Heartbreaker, bringing me down Heartbreaker, can't take her Heartbreaker, bringing me down 내게도 어여쁜 여인이 있었지 때로는 그녀 생각을 해 하지만 친구, 자네도 알잖아 그녀는 떠나고 없어 그 추억이 밀려 오면 난 그녀 없이 살 수 없어 항상 이런 식으로는 견딜 수 없어 가질 수 없는 매정한 사람 나를 절망에 빠뜨린 무정한 사람 가질 수 없는 매정한 사람 나를 절망에 빠뜨린 무정한 사람 더 이상 울지 않아 취한 채 살아 가겠지만 내가 추억을 떠올리면 당신도 내 말을 들을 수 있을거야 가질 수 없는 매정한 사람 나를 절망에 빠뜨린 무정한 사람 가질 수 없는 매정한 사람 나를 절망에 빠뜨린 무정한 사람 오래 전 이 밴드를 처음 접했을 땐 이름에 포함된 funk란 단어 때문에 funk 밴드로 오인할 뻔도 했지만 그와는 별 상관 없는 하드락 밴드죠. 이들이 이런 밴드 이름을 갖게 된 건 별다른 이유에서가 아니라, 출신 지역인 미시간에 위치한 유명한 'Grand Trunk Railroad'를 패러디해서 이름을 지었기 때문이라는군요. 핵심 멤버는 기타리스트와 송라이터를 겸하는 Mark Farner와 드러머 Don Brewer입니다. 이전에 지방 밴드에서 함께 호흡을 맞춘 사이라고 합니다. 무명이던 이들은 1969년 아틀란타 팝페스티발에서 무료로 공연을 하고 있었는데 레코드 관계자 눈에 띄여 곧바로 계약을 하고 데뷔작을 발표합니다. 그 데뷔작에서 수록된 이들의 대표곡 중 하나입니다. 후반부 연주에서 거슬리는 하울링이 몇 번 들리는데 라이브라서 그런게 아니라 원래 그렇게 녹음이 된 것 같네요.
