Many loves in a lifetime, they seem to go astray Many people come and go, they never seem to stay Sometimes i kid myself, then i realise I'm just living in an artificial paradise A hundred times, my hopes and dreams are blown into the air A thousand times, it always seems no one is really there Then i know i'm fooling myself, i'm not so wise I'm just living in an artificial paradise Plastic state of mind, superficial clothes Living in a vacuum, close to zero Sometimes i kid myself, then i realise I'm just living in an artificial paradise |

Whatever happened to ole what's-her-name She used to be the big part of my game Now she's gone, but her passion is still in me I still remember the way she wore her hair Man, we used to go most everywhere Now she's gone, but her passion still lies in me Some call her a shady lady, others around her All I know, is I'm sure glad I found her Even though she's gone, her passion still is in me They say she drifted on to another place You know I just can't forget her face Even though she's gone, her passion still lies in me |

Traces of loving a life I remember Already grown by December By spring it was gone Traces of people and things, and places So much a part of my life Where did it go Time has brought some changes Caught us by surprise Where is the seed, that we need Keeps our love alive Traces of lines that lead back to nowhere Forgotten memories of yesteryear That's all gone Time has brought some changes Caught us by surprise Where is the seed, that we need Keeps our love alive Traces of lines that lead back to nowhere Forgotten memories of yesteryear That's all gone |

Down the road, and up the hill Round the bend, and behind the mill When just a kid i used to go To a place called shady grove That is where i first met her She changed my life with one just one word She called it love but i don't know I call it goin' down to shady grove Shady grove, shady grove In the middle of shady grove Sometimes we'd steal away at night All the same the feel was right There was no city, there was no town 'cause shady grove was all around We'd just lay down look up and see The vast expanse of the old, old tree When our love had turned to lust Shady grove would cover us Shady grove, shady grove In the middle of shady grove No one would ever come by We were young and very shy It seemed to wrap around us both The place we called shady grove Not long ago to my surprise I seemed to have to go back I went back to that same old spot The trees were gone - it's a parking lot Shady grove, shady grove In the middle of shady grove |

If I had me a rocket
I'd fly off to the moon If I had me a rocket, boy I'd fly off to the moon It's getting so crowded here I can't find no room People, lots of people Coming out of the walls People, lots of people Coming out of the walls When there's too many people Ain't no room at all You can't hide out no more Satellite will track you down You can't hide out no more Satellite will track you down You can't run from your neighbors There's a neighbors all around If I had me a rocket I'd fly off to the moon If I had me a rocket, boy I'd fly off to the moon It's getting so crowded here I can't find no room |

I had an old dog, and his name was Blue
Bet your life he was a good dog too Blue chased a possum up a hollow limb Possum won, got the best of him Bye-bye Blue You good dog, you Bye-bye Blue You good dog, you Blue he died, and he died so hard He shook the ground in my backyard We lowered him down with a golden chain Every link we'd call his name Bye-bye Blue You good dog, you Bye-bye Blue You good dog, you My old Blue was a good old hound You could hear him holler for miles around When I get to heaven, first thing I'll do I'll grab my horn and call Old Blue Bye-bye Blue You good dog, you Bye-bye Blue You good dog, you Bye-bye Blue You good dog, you Bye-bye Blue You good dog, you Bye-bye Blue |

Miss ol' St. Louie, wish I was back Picking my guitar by the railroad track All them pretty womens, hangin' 'round me Miss ol' St. Louie, how it used to be Mississippi River, water so deep Running down to Memphis on to New Orleans Trying to hustle quarters, nickels, and dimes Ol' St. Louie's where I spent my time Standing on the corner with my old wooden box Watching them steam boats gather at the dock Cotton and tobacco and people for sale Trying to stay clear of the St. Louie jail Strumming to the rythm of an old freight train Ol' St. Louie's where I played my game Ain't no doubt about it, wish I was back Picking my guitar by the railroad track All them pretty womens, hangin' 'round me Miss ol' St. Louie, how it used to be |

Words that we say could all be lies someday
Scattered to the wind, I don't know Things that we trust could crumble into dust No one can really say it ain't so When you go over a mountain When you're looking down the road When you think you're going backwards It's all in vain, it seems insane When you ask, nobody knows If our actions seem in doubt By the way we move about Seems like we're always on the run Our mark is just a scratch Like holding up a match And trying to see the burn against the sun When we're going over a mountain When we're looking down the road If you think you're going backwards It's all in vain, it seems insane When you ask, nobody knows When all our days are gone You can catch us with a song Something that seemed almost right We've known love and joy Eternity's been our toy Something to play with in the night When we're going over a mountain When we're looking down the road If you think you're going backwards It's all in vain, it seems insane When you ask, nobody knows When I go over my mountain When I'm looking down the road If I think I'm going backwards It's all in vain, it seems insane When I ask, nobody knows |

The old man he catches the fish in the morning He rides the river every day I go down to the bank and I holler when he passes "Hey, old man, are they biting today" "Hey, old man, are they biting today" I wake up in the morning, thinking 'bout my troubles I go down to the water and they pass away And when the old man comes a-floating down the river "Hey, old man, are they biting today" "Hey, old man, are they biting today" Now here we've got a thing that keeps on rolling It ain't heavy, don't take it that way The old man and me, we got a good thing going He gets his fish and I sit all day He catches fish and I sit all day |

Don't take her for granted, she has a hard time Don't misunderstand her or play with her mind Treat her so gently, it will pay you in time You've got to know she's the sensitive kind Tell her you love her, each and every night And you will discover she will treat you right If you believe, I know you will find There ain't nothing like the sensitive kind She gets lonely waiting for you You are the only thing to help her through Don't take her for granted, she has a hard time You've got to know she's the sensitive kind |

Money talks, it'll tell you a story
Money talks, says strange things Money talks very loudly You'd be surprised the friends you can buy with small change They say it's the root of all evil They say gold is the king Money talks, you'd better believe it All that gold don't mean a thing Rich people, hear those pockets jingle Spare change, hear the down-and-outers cry Money talks, tip-toe up behind you Steal what they can, off the cuff or on the sly Money talks Money talks Money talks Money talks |
