Some people say I’m obnoxious and I’m lazy
Some people say I take advantage of the younger girls and they’re right Some people say should have been taught a few more manners at home Some say I’m chauvinistic better of just to leave me alone I don’t know what I’m supposed to do If I can’t please myself could I really please you? Chorus Being brought up The American fool Being brought up The American fool Some people like to talk and tell you their ideals and how it’s supposed to be Some people are fools like me and say what’s on their mind immediately Some people don’t say at all and some just care too much Some people, some people, some people are driving me crazy I don’t know what I’m supposed to do When I can’t please myself could I really please you? Some people say I’m obnoxious and I’m lazy Some people say I take advantage of the younger girls and they’re right I don’t know what I’m supposed to do If I can’t please myself could I really please you? |

I was courting a Southern belle.
Her daddy was a rich 'un, too. Sports car outside her door, She was pretty good looking, too. You call me up, want me to come over When the servants are all in bed. And she said, "Daddy's on a flight tonight. Does that put any ideas in your head?" I say to her: Take it all the way. Can you really take it all the way down? Can you really take it all the way down, down, down? Down, down, down. So we watch a little TV, I drink up the family wine. She said, "You're such a snake in the grass, boy. But tonight, you're mine." But wait a minute, wait a minute, baby. Are you tryin' to make a fool out of me? She said, "I've seen men like you before. I've got a long family tree." And she said to me: Take it all the way. Can you really take it all the way down? Can you really take it all the way down, down, down? And I say to myself: Even a fool like me can be the lovin' kind. Even a fool like me can be the lovin', lovin' kind. Take it all the way. Can you really take it all the way down? Can you really take it all the way down, down, down? Take it all the way.

Office girls, they pass me by.
They don't know my name. Put me on the danger list, Just too wild to tame. Take the drinks off of the table. Throw my guitar out the door. Set my sights on some new sunrise. Help my feet to the floor. I ain't lookin' for affection. I guess I need myself a shove. Give me someone I can look up to. Show me someone I can love. Good boys go to heaven, Good girls say their prayers. Me, I don't say anything at all. I hope the Big Man still cares. Touch my soul with your religion. Cut my throat with your spite. Hurt me with your silence, girl. Stay with me, stay with me, Stay with me tonight. I ain't lookin' for affection. I guess I need myself a shove. Give me someone I can look up to. Show me someone I can love. I ain't lookin' for affection. I guess I need myself a shove. Give me someone I can look up to. Show me someone I can love. Don't go starin' at me. Makes me feel so insecure. Talk behind my back if you want to. I don't hear no more. Take me to my destination. Put me on the plane. Fly me up to heaven, dear Lord. Take me home again. I ain't lookin' for affection. I guess I need myself a shove. Give me someone I can look up to. Show me someone I can love. I ain't lookin' for affection. I guess I need myself a shove.

In these long, hot summer days, need a way to cool ourselves down. Pop off the top of that Chevrolet, drive through the carwash, laugh and fall around. Smokin' the old Ducados the old man got down in Spain. Eatin' eggs and French fries on the side. Ride that Harley Davidson in the hot summer heat. Lord knows that I just love to ride. Go by and pick up that Kentucky girl. She knew me when I got my start. Oh yeah, those were different days... in the valley of the thundering hearts, thundering hearts thundering hearts thundering hearts Get your greasy hair, girl, right on my face. This old redneck's on fire, burnin' up. Give us a kiss, baby, make it on the same place. Humidity's about to drive me all crazy wild. Pretty soon, the sun will be goin' down, and this little town will be cool and dark. Forget about heaven. Let me stay here forever in the valley of the thundering hearts thundering hearts thundering hearts thundering hearts |

As the train rattled on All the passengers had gone to bed Except a young man with a baby in his arms Who sat there with a bowed-down head The innocent one began crying just then As though its poor heart would break One angry man said, "Make that child stop its noise For it's keeping all of us awake." |

She had a dream And boy it was a good one So she chased after her dream With much desire But when she got too close To her expectations Well the dream burned up Like paper in fire Paper in fare Stinkin' up the ashtrays Paper in fire Smokin' up the alleyways Who's to say the way A man should spend his days Do you let them smolder Like paper in fire He wanted love With no involvement So he chased the wind That's all his silly life required And the days of vanity Went on forever And he saw his days burn up Like paper in fire There is a good life Right across this green field And each generation Stares at it from afar But we keep no check On our appetites So the green fields turn to brown Like paper in fire |

The warden threw a party in the county jail. The prison band was there and they began to wail. The band was jumpin' down they began to swing. You should've heard those jailbirds sing. Let's rock, everybody, let's rock. Everybody in the whole cell block was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock. Well Spider Murphy played on the saxophone, Little Joe was blowin' on the slide trombone. The drummer boy from Illinois went crash, boom, bang, the whole rhythm section was the Purple Gang. Let's rock, everybody, let's rock. Everybody in the whole cell block was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock. Well number forty-seven said to number three: "You're the cutest jailbird I ever did see. I sure could enjoy some of your company, come on and do the Jailhouse Rock with me." Let's rock, everybody, let's rock. Everybody in the whole cell block was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock. Well sad sack was a sittin' on a block of stone When over in the corner weepin' all alone. The warden said, "buddy, don't you be no square. If you can't find a partner use a wooden chair." Let's rock, everybody, let's rock. Everybody in the whole cell block was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock. Well Henry said to Bugs, "For Heaven's sake, no one's lookin', now's our chance to make a break." Bugsy turned to Shifty and he said, "Nix nix, I wanna stick around a while and get my kicks." Let's rock, everybody, let's rock. Everybody in the whole cell block was dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock. |

Tony Jones stabbed Alice Jones On their first anniversary Down in Dallas, Texas In a small apartment With nobody present. He pulled out a knife And he stuck it to her. He left her bleeding On the floor in the kitchen With cake on her fingers And her wedding ring holding. In her hand was a note That said the wicked must suffer And he drove off quickly To his girlfriend's apartment. But who really suffers in the end? It's easy enough for us to pretend that Everything's all right with the family. Everything is safe here at home. Everything's all right with the family. The beds are made but there's no sheets on. From the courtroom stand Tony said he was sorry. That he was sad and mixed up, And he didn't know what he was doing, That he'd always loved Alice And he begged for forgiveness. So he threw himself On the mercy of the jury And he told how his father Had beat and abused him Back in grade school In the basement den, And that maybe prison Was the best thing for him. And he said, "Oh God, can you forgive me?" yeah But who really suffers in the end? It's easy enough for us all to pretend that Everything's all right with the family. Everything is safe here at home. Everything's all right with the family. The beds are made but there's no sheets on. How many days does it take to make us weak? And how many hours do people spend lonely? In the heart of the heart the family lay dying The ruin of a nation lies at our feet, yeah. Everything's all right with the family. Everything is safe here at home. Everything's all right with the family. The beds are made but there's no sheets on. (Repeat chorus.) |

Tony Jones stabbed Alice Jones On their first anniversary Down in Dallas, Texas In a small apartment With nobody present. He pulled out a knife And he stuck it to her. He left her bleeding On the floor in the kitchen With cake on her fingers And her wedding ring holding. In her hand was a note That said the wicked must suffer And he drove off quickly To his girlfriend's apartment. But who really suffers in the end? It's easy enough for us to pretend that Everything's all right with the family. Everything is safe here at home. Everything's all right with the family. The beds are made but there's no sheets on.

He was a good lookin' guy. Stood about six foot three, Long brown hair As nice as he could be. Everybody liked him But he didn't have a clue, He looked silly as hell In those funny French shoes. You know the type Without any heels, Leather soles, Kind of a slip on deal. He was cavalier Whether he'd win or lose But he looked silly as hell In those funny French shoes. I know it's not right To judge a man by his clothes, By the way that he looks Or the people he may know. I'm embarrassed to say If I had to choose I could never really trust Any man wearing those funny French shoes. Funny French shoes, Funny French shoes, No man should be wearin' Those funny French shoes. They look good on a woman's foot. I must say that they do But no guy should be wearin' Those funny French shoes. Get some socks on, man! |

This land, today, shall draw its last breath And take into its ancient depths This frail reminder of its giant, dreaming self While I, with human-hindered eyes Unequal to the sweeping curve of life Stand on this single print of time Human wheels spin round and round While the clock keeps the pace Human wheels spin round and round Help the light to my face That time, today, no triumph gains At this short success of age This pale reflection of its brave and blundering deed For I, descend from this vault, Now dreams beyond my earthly fault Knowledge, sure, from the seed Human wheels spin round and round While the clock keeps the pace Human wheels spin round and round Help the light to my face This land, today, my tears shall taste And take into its dark embrace This love, who in my beating heart endures, Assured, by every sun that burns, The dust to which this flesh shall return It is the ancient, dreaming dust of God Human wheels spin round and round While the clock keeps the pace Human wheels spin round and round Help the light find my face Human wheels spin round and round While the clock keeps the pace Human wheels spin round and round Help the light find my face |

They call me Junior. I live here on the street. I earn two hundred dollars a week. I'd like to say "Hey, thanks a lot." I know I'm missin' something But I don't know what it is That I don't got. I sit here watchin' The people down below. I try to imagine The places they may go. I don't know. I stay home a lot. I know I'm missin' something But I don't know what it is That I don't got. I see the world through the TV Guide, What a safe place for me to run. What a small little man I am. I'm afraid of everything From golden rules to airplanes. What a small little man I am. They call me Junior. I'm caught up in this hell. Sometimes I feel better But I never do feel well. Jesus must have one hell of a plan for me. I know I'm missin' something But I don't know what it is That I don't got. And if I have anything to say About judgment day There'll be a crown in heaven For those who live this way. Anyway, You know exactly who you are. I see the world through the TV Guide, What a safe place for me to run. What a small little man I am. I'm afraid of everything From the golden rule to airplanes. What a small little man I am. They call me Junior. I live here on the street. I earn two hundred dollars a week. I'd like to say "Hey man, thanks a lot" My name is Junior (Chorus out) |

Suzanne was the jewel keeper. In a word she stole all the jewels And she took them to a foreign land Which was strictly against all the rules, And she wore them all proudly Like a tiara crown on her head. She slept with them at night. Suzanne and the jewels in a bed. Suzanne and her jewels Livin' on the edge of a friend. Suzanne, how will you sleep at night When they take that crown from your head? Suzanne lived down by the river, The fountain of youth did flow And she played on a steel guitar And the drifters did come and they'd go. And she'd put on her crown And she'd sing them a song And some drifters would stay here the night But they never did stay long. Suzanne and her jewels Livin' on the edge of a friend. Suzanne, how will you sleep at night When they take that crown from your head? This girl flew on the wind, She wrote her own name in the stars. Just goes to show sometimes you win No matter how crazy you are. But a thief can come knocking Even with blood on the door And drink up your fountain of youth And throw your jewels and your crown on the floor. Suzanne and her jewels Livin' on the edge of a friend. Suzanne, how will you sleep at night When they take that crown from your head? Suzanne and her jewels Livin' on the edge of a friend. Suzanne, how will you sleep at night When they take that crown off your head? |

I was loud and a little sad. She was visiting from Atlanta, Georgia. She had come to spend the summer with her dad. I thought she was very pretty. We would kiss and hold hands Every night by the football field. Her body was tan From the afternoons by the public swimming pool. Sweet evening breeze Blows around my thoughts and memories. As I lie here today And drink my tea, I can still see Sweet evening breeze. I saw her in a coffee shop In a big hotel down in Austin, Texas. She had cut her long hair off And replaced it with Blue eyes of sadness. Still acted like we were kids And she told me that she had to marry And she asked me if I did Still remember. Sweet evening breeze Blows around my thoughts and memories. As I lie here today And drink my tea, I can still see Sweet evening breeze. How redundant the future can be. These days of old are very, very Ridiculous for me to see When I think about the real gone stories And how time holds the winning hand. I can tell by the lines on our faces And the young can't understand That they look at me When they look at themselves. Oh, sweet evening breeze Blows around my thoughts and memories. As I lie here today And drink my tea, I can still see Sweet evening breeze. |

When Jesus left Birmingham All the disciples went crazy. When Jesus left Birmingham All the people went completely nuts. They all busted out on a wild night Riding high on a golden calf. When Jesus left Birmingham All the people had themselves a big long laugh. Well my girl, she's a walker And she can talk herself out of any mess. My girl, she don't pray But somehow she seems still to be blessed. And when those crazy nights come callin', Man, she'll dance on the tables Like all of the rest. When my girl left Birmingham She was doing what she thought was best. It's all free on the inside. I passed a very uncomfortable feeling last night. Save us right now, we need you... To hell with all the lies and liars. Recovery, recovery, I don't know about any recovery. Inside, gotta get inside, Inside. I see myself with a rosary, I'm in a garden and I'm talking to myself. I ain't sayin' much worth repeating, Just askin' for forgiveness and all of his best. When those crazy nights come callin', Man, I'm just as human as I can be. When Jesus left Birmingham He left it there for you and me. When Jesus left Birmingham He left it there for you and me. So let it rock, let it roll, Let the Bible Belt come and save my soul.

There may come a day when you grow weary Troubled waters stain the paper cup From other venues, other voices carry Spilled dreams soaking into thirsty dust Maybe then and there you'll find another Lover with a blank and empty heart Filled with breath and old sails to discover Strength to push the seas apart On the day we met I began to want you On the day we met I began to lose you too Both of us circling round the moon Both of us circling round the moon There may come a day when you feel anger China cracked and glued by clumsy hands Veins of memory touching only hunger the heart devours what it cannot understand On the day we met I began to want you On the day we met I began to lose you too Both of us circling round the moon Both of us circling round the moon Maybe it was then I saw my future Saw it as a shadow on the ground Beneath the earth old nails to discover Strength to hold my body down On the day we met I began to want you On the day we met I began to lose you too Both of us circling round the moon On the day we met I began to want you, want you On the day we met I began to lose you too Both of us circling round the moon the both or us circling round the moon both of us circling round the moon |

This is me you're talkin' to From May through September It was all about me 'n you, Baby It was all about me 'n you Well it looks like to me That you have conveniently forgotten everything This confusion that has surrounded you Is this your morality and not your brain You've got a birthmark below your navel You wear a size seven and a half shoe You got this Rolex watch that I suspect you cobbed From that doctor who said he loved you How come you can't remember? This is me you're talkin' to From May through September It was all about me 'n you, Baby It was all about me 'n you Well you told me that you lived in the wind Like a bird who never touched the ground And if you did you would surely die without making a sound "Live, let's live", that's all you kept sayin' And our summer was full of life We're gonna send them a postcard, and show 'em what it's like to be alive But I never wanted to leave your side No, I just couldn't believe that you'd lie No, I never wanted to say "good-bye" baby How come you can't remember? This is me you're talkin' to From May through September It was all about me 'n you, Baby It was all about me 'n you |

I stand here a black man I have no history I was brought up in East Chicago And I grew up on the streets The chains around the playground were the chains around my heart The brand upon my shoulder Well it reminds you who you are And it all comes true Yes it all comes true Like a wheel inside a wheel It turns on you And you think, What have I done? What can I do? What you believe about yourself It all comes true I was just a young girl My mother called me "Hon" My father was unhappy 'Cause I should have been his son They said, "Learn to be a waitress and learn to be a wife And be thankful for a chance to live an ordinary life" And it all comes true Yes it all comes true Like a wheel inside a wheel It turns on you And you think, What have I done? What can I do? What you believe about yourself It all comes true My life is a contradiction of sorrow and desire I drag my heart across the ash to throw it on the fire Maybe there's a reason and could there be a plan Or are we all just fools to think we'll understand And it all comes true Yes it all comes true Like a wheel inside a wheel It turns on you And you think, What have I done? What can I do? What you believe about yourself It all comes true And it all comes true Yes it all comes true Like a wheel inside a wheel It turns on you And you think, What have I done?

Daylight is leaving And the night is closing in In just a few hours The sleeplessness begins again My head feels thick And I'm unable to think I guess I'll wait 'til tomorrow And see what it brings I have a little hope left And I guess that's someplace to start But my memory's full Of a deep blue heart. My fun-loving sense of humor Is nowhere to be found I stare into my own eyes With tears flowing down I'd sing out a song But I've forgotten the tune And the words now escape me But I think it's about you My vision now is way out in the dark With just a little sight left Of a deep blue heart I see us both flying In the clear blue sky Floating out on the ocean With the sun in our eyes Caught in a moment Just me and you In complete honesty Where everything is true That's what I wanted to believe Right from the start Just a little place for myself In a deep blue heart Carve out a place for myself In your deep blue heart |

Most anywhere you go, And his holdings are in Texas And his name is Diamond Joe. And he carries all his money In a diamond-studded jar. He never took much trouble With the process of the law. I hired out to Diamond Joe, boys, Did offer him my hand, He gave a string of horses So old they could not stand. And I nearly starved to death, boys, He did mistreat me so, And I never saved a dollar In the pay of Diamond Joe. Now his bread it was corn dodger And his meat you couldn't chaw, Nearly drove me crazy With the waggin' of his jaw. And the tellin' of his story, Mean to let you know That there never was a rounder That could lie like Diamond Joe. Now, I tried three times to quit him, But he did argue so I'm still punchin' cattle In the pay of Diamond Joe. And when I'm called up yonder And it's my time to go, Give my blankets to my buddies Give the fleas to Diamond Joe. |

And my road seem dark as night I got stones in my passway And my road seem dark as night I have pains in my hearts They have taken my appetite I have a bird to whistle And I have a bird to sing Have a bird to whistle And I have a bird to sing I got a woman that I'm lovin' Boy, she don't mean a thing My enemies have betrayed me Have overtaken poor Bob at last My enemies have betrayed me Have overtaken poor Bob at last An ' 'ere's one thing certainly They have stones all in my pass Now you tryin' to take my life And all my lovin' too You laid a passway for me Now what are you trying to do I'm cryin' please Plea-ease let us be friends And when you hear me howlin' in my passway, rider Plea-ease open your door and let me in I got three legs to truck home Boys, please don't block my road I got three legs to truck home Boys, please don't block my road I've been feelin' ashamed 'bout my rider Babe, I'm booked and I got to go |

I read your letter, darlin'
Tears filled my eyes All of the promises you made were nothing but lies So I turned your photograph around face to the wall And when I dim the lights in my room tonight Teardrops will fall Teardrops will fall tonight Tears I can't hide Tears that I'd rather keep Deep down inside Tears fall And love is gone beyond these walls And when I dim the lights in my room tonight Teardrops will fall I'm gonna pray tonight, baby Hopin' you will hear And maybe you'll write all those wrongs And dry each tear I sit alone tonight Hopin' you will call And when I dim the lights in my room tonight Teardrops will fall Teardrops will fall tonight Tears I can't hide Tears that I'd rather keep Deep down inside Tears fall And love is gone beyond these walls And when I dim the lights in my room tonight Teardrops will fall Teardrops will fall tonight Tears I can't hide Tears that I'd rather keep Deep down inside Tears fall And love is gone beyond these walls And when I dim the lights in my room tonight When I dim the lights in my room tonight Teardrops will fall |

Why does the sun go on shining
Why does the sea rush to shore Don't they know it's the end of the world 'Cause you don't love me any more Why do the birds go on singing Why do the stars glow above Don't they know it's the end of the world It ended when I lost your love I wake up in the morning and I wonder Why everything's the same as it was I can't understand, no, I can't understand How life goes on the way it does Why does my heart go on beating Why do these eyes of mine cry Don't they know it's the end of the world It ended when you said goodbye Why does my heart go on beating Why do these eyes of mine cry Don't they know it's the end of the world It ended when you said goodbye |

Well I see you've got a new boyfriend Got your mixed up husband too I got 25 dollars in my pocket Want me to spend it all on you But I know that you cheat on all of us That's just the way that you do Hey, girl, I don't care where you've been I know, I've been there too Chorus: Woo, woo baby, Do you think that's fair? Do we really have to be so lonely and so scared Woo, woo baby, Do you think that's fair? Well I know this is up to me and you We make this thing turn out like we want to Well, last time I thought about you Didn't really think that much And the last time we spoke you said You were afraid of my touch And then you went your way I stumbled down a highway, I went mine You know, I think it's funny the Way infatuation gets beat up by the time CHORUS Well I see your life has evolved Into one big masquerade And all of those old fools you used to run to They shot you full of old age Well, don't go expecting too much no, no From this new love affair Probably fall flat on its face No one to pick you up, no one who cares CHORUS |

I've been walking the streets in the evening Racing through the human jungle at night I'm so confused my mind is indifferent Hey, I'm so weak won't somebody turn off the light Electricity runs through the video As I watch from this hole I call home All the stony's are dancin' to the radio And I got the world calling me up here tonight on the phone Chorus: I need a lover that won't drive me crazy Some girl to thrill me and then go away I need a lover that won't drive me crazy Some girl that knows the meaning of Hey hit the highway Well I'm not wiped out by this poolroom life I'm living Gonna quit this job, go to school, or head back home Well, I'm not asking to be loved or be forgiven I just can't face shaken in this bedroom one more night alone I need a lover that won't drive me crazy I need a lover that won't drive me crazy I need a lover that won't drive me crazy Some girl that knows the meaning of Hey hit thte highway |

Well I hear in Miami they have a lot of girls Who toast their flesh in the sun Living on allowances they receive from the old man at home To keep up appearances to have fun CHORUS: Hey baby Living in Miami I know you're hip to those hotel alibis I know you're nowhere near twenty But I ain't the kind to kiss and tell or tell lies Well they are easy to look at, they are hard to hold They have high opinions of themselves But at night you can find them drinking in the bar Wishing that they could find somebody else CHORUS Well they pull and tug on their high fashion clothes As they strip off their armor in their apartment bedrooms They wish that somewhere they can find a spark Well their sights and visions and dreams are set high They think the world can be won with a smile I hear 'em giggle out loud, lost in the crowd Give me a cuddle when we get outside CHORUS Hey baby Living in Miami I know you're hip to those hotel alibis I know you're nowhere near twenty But I ain't the kind to kiss and tell or tell lies |

God gave Moses a few little rules And he said I want you to pass them around Take a look at those old tools I can't believe the shit that's going down You're supposed to have a good time But I think you take it a little too far Watchin' your life in vista-vision A monkey on your back, a brand new car Well Shakespeare threw down his pencil, Said I think I'm gonna start layin' brick Too much of this Romeo stuff enough to make Anybody sick "To be or not to be," I mean what's that supposed to mean I'm changin' my image tomorrow Be a groupie, make the scene Chorus: Pray for me if you want to If you don't want to don't stay Somebody shot the Vicar and the minister's on his way Sellin' open legs on the corner Punchin' Judy workin' uptown Pray for me if you want to Before some fool shoots you down The man in the cage is always for freedom The way of the transgressor is hard Cain and Abel and their old man Playin' croquet in the back yard Two guys beat up the sole survivor Up beat on the back street I don't really want to get involved Won't someone help me to my feet. Chorus |
