Loggins & Messina

If you ever get the traveling blues
And need a place to rest your shoes
There's someone here to welcome you
I'd be so happy to know that you're alive

If knowing this should make you feel low
And you're feeling the need for someone to know
I love to hear your welcomed hello
I'd be so happy to know that you're alive

[Chorus:]
There's so many sights
Those bright city lights
(Will) help you try to find your way
It's a big, big world
(And) you're a big, big girl
So hurry up and don't be late
But if you ever want to come on home
There's no need in you being alone
All you've got to do is phone
I'd be so happy to know that you're alive

Mmmmm

[Chorus]

I'd be so happy to know that you're alive
So happy to know that you're alive

Do do do ...

Hey little girl won't you meet me at the schoolyard gate
I got back stage passes to the biggest show in town
So honey don't you make me late
If we leave really early and we hurry we can get in with the band
'Cause little Tim Smitty's got his old man's van
So let's get to gettin' while the gettin' is right
And roll with the rythm tonight

God knows that I love my music
Ain't no one gonna change my tune
Don't ya know that I love my music
Ain't never gonna change my tune

Hey little girl want to dance with you all night long
The music got me buzzin' and I feel pretty loose
I feel the rythm and it's comin' on strong baby baby
Lay the rythm on me baby, there's power in the sound
With everybody jumpin' we can bring the house down
So lets get to gettin' while the gettin' is right
And roll with the rythm tonight

God knows that I love my music
Ain't no one gonna change my tune
Don't ya know that I love my music
Ain't never gonna change my tune

(solo)

God knows that I love my music
Ain't no one gonna change my tune
Don't ya know that I love my music
Ain't never gonna change my

Do do do ...

Love my music
Ain't no one gonna change my tune
Don't ya know that I love my music
Ain't never gonna change my tune

There's a wren in a willow wood
Flies so high and sings so good
And he brings to you what he sings to you
Like my brother, the wren and I
Well, he told me if I try, I could fly for you
And I wanna try for you 'cause

I wanna sing you a love song
I wanna rock you in my arms all night long
I wanna get to know you
I wanna show you the peaceful feelin' of my home

Summer thunder on moon-bright days
Northern lights and skies ablaze
And I bring to you, lover, when I sing to you
Silver wings in a fiery sky
Show the trail of my love and I
Sing to you, love is what I bring to you
And I wanna sing to you, oh

I wanna sing you a love song
I wanna rock you in my arms all night long
I wanna get to know you
I wanna show you the peaceful feelin' of my home

I wanna sing you a love song
I wanna rock you in my arms all night long
I wanna get to know you
I wanna show you the peaceful feelin' of my home

If you've been thinkin' you were all that you've got
Then don't feel alone anymore
'Cause when we're together then you've got a lot
'Cause I am the river and you are the shore

And it goes on and on, watching the river run
Further and further from things that we've done
Leaving them one by one
And we have just begun, watching the river run
Listening and learning and yearning to run, river, run

Winding and swirling and dancing along
We passed by the old willow tree
Where lovers caress as we sing them our song,
Rejoicing together when we greet the sea

And it goes on and on, watching the river run
Further and further from things that we've done
Leaving them one by one
And we have just begun, watching the river run
Listening and learning and yearning to run, river, run

You are a young man
And you're eager to seek
A way to let the world
Know what you think
The lesson learned
Is not taught in a school
You have to start out first
By being the fool

[Chorus:]
But I see changes
They happen every day
And I see change
Coming your way

You give your life away
For what in return
A chance to see your name
In lights, while you learn
Your manager is home
And working a way
To keep you on the road
And moving day to day

[Chorus]

You work yourself to death
So you can have a home
You put your money aside
To call it all your own
You finally save enough
And you think you're gonna advance
Turn around, there's Uncle Sam
He's got his hand down your pants

[Chorus 2x]

Maybe some change
Is all that we need
Change is coming to help us succeed
Change happens every day
Change happens every day
Change happens every day
