Ridin' the storm out, waitin' for the thaw out On a full moon night in the Rocky Mountain winter. My wine bottle's low, watching for the snow I've been thinking lately of what I'm missing in the city. And I'm not missing a thing Watchin' the full moon crossing the range Ridin' the storm out Ridin' the storm out. My lady's beside me, she's there to guide me. She says that alone we've finally found home. The wind outside is frightening, but it's kinder than the lightning life in the city. It's a hard life to live but it gives back what you give. |

My whole life rides on the mood of my lady Her ups and downs are turning my life around She's happy today, it's like a breath of new life But tomorrow her sorrow will tear me down. Slowly, oh slowly I can tell that she needs me It shows right through the walls she's built around herself Oh higher, oh higher I'm climbing in her eyes It's a servant she wants but a man she must have. Oh, Oh woman I need you like I never needed anyone Oh, Oh woman like the morning needs the sun Oh, Oh woman you know that our lives have just begun I'll behave, Oh woman, 'cause I'm your slave. Oh, two lives in tune, it's a delicate balance to keep We'll stand together but never too near Oh, hold me close but don't you smother me I'll speak of my love but only for you to hear. Oh, Oh woman I need you like I never needed anyone Oh, Oh woman like the morning needs the sun Oh, Oh woman you know that our lives have just begun I'll behave, Oh woman, 'cause I'm your slave. |

Backwoods killer from a river town A mixed up kid that let his hair hang down High school rebel, he's always been bad And his poor old man's still wond'ring 'bout the lad But he's gone, gone away to find his fortune. There's a long-haired lady lookin' for a home With her young son, he'd left them both alone And his black-haired lover's got a broken heart 'Cause her lonely boy just won't play the part 'Cause he's gone, gone away to find his fortune. And it's been a long, long way From that little town to L.A. And I can't turn around Ladies, I'm gone, gone away to find my fortune. A restless nature fed my crazy dreams So I packed my bags in a big limousine laughed at the people who were laughin' at me Laughed and said I'm gonna be what I be And I'm gone, gone away to find my fortune. |

Say you know you've got to run You know you've got to hide You don't know who to follow Or who is on your side You don't know where you're goin' You won't talk of where you've been And I may see you tomorrow Or nevermore again. And I've seen you in the cities I've seen you on the road And your face is all a-twisted 'cause your brain is a heavy load And then you turn and ask me Say how will I ever know And you talk of all your searchin' But I think it's all for show Open up my friend Love someone if you can Go on, let her in Open up again. And I hear your mournful songs I hear your painful crys And I've seen the light of hunger Linger deep within your eyes And you talk about your sinkin' And what a hole you're in You expect for me to love you When you hate yourself my friend. And you've got yourself a potion Oh to keep you from your sleep In that dark and lonely hour Well I've heard you laugh and weep But you'll always be a-runnin' Runnin' till you find your doom 'Cause you never face your lonely soul You never face the gloom. Open up my friend Love someone if you can Go on, let her in Open up again. |

I was sittin' with the sun, meltin' into the horizon High in the hills, up above Topanga canyon And I've never been to any other place that made me feel more like movin' Made me feel like movin'. Stopped into a shop where I met a young lady She thought I ought to move, she said livin' here could save me Oh and I've never been with any other girl who made me feel more like movin' She made me feel just like movin'. But I used to wonder why people got so excited About movin' to California I've only been here a week but I've been enlightened To a whole new way of life And it makes me feel just like movin'.

Hometown lady, leavin' for the city Bags in hand, she's boardin' the train Her last look through the window, I saw her eyes were as red as mine I waved goodbye but I can't believe she's leaving. But a woman can't be high-class In a lonely farmer's town And the son of a poor man Ain't gonna turn your head around But if you ever get lonely Just pick up the telephone And the son of a poor man will bring you home. Maybe soon I'll see her on some television show Painted lips and fingers singing for the world A fashion plate for sure dancin' for your plastic world Call me up if you can but if not well I'll understand But a woman can't be high-class In a lonely farmer's town And the son of a poor man Ain't gonna turn your head around But if you ever get lonely Just pick up the telephone And the son of a poor man will bring you home. |

Go home, pretender I think this is the end here It's been a long time decidin' But I think I've found the right end. You're gonna go away, start a new life Forget today, start a new life Start a new life. Hopes crushed and battered But you laugh as if it didn't matter This joke is gonna turn blue And I won't be there to hold you. You're gonna go away, start a new life Forget today, start a new life Start a new life. Go home, debater It was soon and now it's later And that's only a piece of paper So don't you stand there a-laughin' and a-wavin' it. You're gonna go away, start a new life Forget today, start a new life Start a new life. |

Lookin' for a love Searchin' everywhere I can't get enough and I don't really care If it takes a lot of waitin' 'Cause I've got the time to spare It's gonna take a lot more lovin' But we got plenty of that around here. Laughin' heading home a woman could be fine Flying back alone, I don't really mind 'Cause it gives me the time for thinking How so many people just ruin their lives Folks miss out on so much lovin' By picking it up before it arrives. I can't see it but I know when it's there I can just feel it, it's everywhere I can't see it but I know when it's there I can just feel it, it's everywhere. Lookin' for a love Searchin' everywhere I can't get enough and I don't really care If it takes a lot of waitin' 'Cause I've got the time to spare It's gonna take a lot more lovin' But we got plenty of that around here. I can't see it but I know when it's there I can just feel it, it's everywhere I can't see it but I know when it's there I can just feel it, it's everywhere. |

Have you ever ridden horses through a rainstorm Or led a lion through a busy street bazaar There are many things I'd love to turn you on to But somehow I feel they're safer where they are. Well some people in bound infatuation While some others spell depression as the law Someone's mother getting no imagination So beware then, baby, sin is at everyone's door. Don't be the man I know with no expressions lord Ain't got none at all Pity the man I know with no expressions lord Ain't got none at all But you'll never, no you'll never see this man laughing Come to think of it, I've never seen this man cry But you might by sitting quietly hear him singing By and by, he'll stop and sigh, his voice will even start to speak and he will say goodbye. Have you ever ridden horses through a rainstorm Or led a lion through a busy street bazaar There are many things I'd love to turn you on to But somehow I feel they're safer where they are. |
