Country Rock

"Silent shadows of the night, Faded with the morning light. We just wrote another song. Maybe a word or two is wrong. There's so much that could be said, It's hard to write it in a line. But when the final word is read, Maybe something could be said For all the brothers of the road. Just like you, we bear a heavy load. Been through hell and back again. If we don't lose we're bound to win."

"Well I don't know, if I dreamed it. I don't know, might be real. Lord, it's so strange, how one will find another, But I keep on searchin', cause I know you're out there, And all I gotta do is open my eyes and see her - the mystery woman."

"We've been through hell and high water, Ready to go through it all again. As long as we've got a quarter between us all, We're gonna have money to spend, oh."

"Some-where down on a back street Way down deep in the back seat, Where I first learned how to moan your name, I remember the night I met ya. Ooh Sweet Mama, I just can't forget ya. Can't stop thinkin' 'bout your crazy love.Crazy Love Crazy Love I love you Mama. But you're too bad to change."

"Don't worry for me Well I'm all right. Lord knows I"m having A natural good time. Pocket full of money, Gonna boogie all night; There ain't nobody tell me that's crime.When morning comes and it's time to go, Pony boy carry me home; Pony boy carry me home."

"Well I'm Southbound, Lord I'm comin' home to you. Well I'm Southbound, baby, Lord I'm comin' home to you. I got that old lonesome feelin' that's sometimes called the blues."

"Lord, I was born a ramblin' man, Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can. And when it's time for leavin', I hope you'll understand, That I was born a ramblin' man."

"You're my blue sky, you're my sunny day. Lord, you know it makes me high when you turn your love my way, Turn your love my way, yeah."

"I recall once upon a time, Livin was so easy and I felt so fine. But, my, my, my right before my very eyes, Satan came with fire to burn me, Wouldn't listen when they warned me. A dagger in my back while she's calling me honey, Wouldn't stand back, for neither love nor money."

"Crossroads, seem to come and go, yeah. The gypsy flies from coast to coast.Knowing many, loving none, Bearing sorrow havin' fun. But back home he'll always run To sweet Melissa... mmm..."

"Well, I've got to run to keep from hiding, And I'm bound to keep on riding. And I've got one more silver dollar, But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no, Not gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider.And I don't own the clothes I'm wearing, And the road goes on forever, And I've got one more silver dollar, But I'm not gonna let them catch me, no Not gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider."

"People can you feel it? Love is everywhere. People can you hear it? Love is in the air. We're in a revolution. Don't you know we're right? Everyone is singing. Yeah! There'll be no one to fight."

"Just one more mornin' I had to wake up with the blues. Pulled myself outta bed, yeah, Put on my walkin' shoes. Went up on the mountain, To see what I could see. The whole world was fallin', Right down in front of me."

"9 o'clock the next day And I'm ready to go. I got six hundred miles to ride To do one more show, oh no. Can I get you a taxi home? It sure was grand. When I come back here next year I wanna see you again."

"Back at the hotel, Lord we got such a mess. It seems that one of the crew Had a go with one of the guests, oh yes. Well, the police said we can't drink in the bar, What a shame. Won't you come upstairs girl, And have a drink of champagne?"

"Whiskey bottles, and brand new cars Oak tree you're in my way There's too much coke and too much smoke Look what's going on inside you. Ooooh that smell. Can't you smell that smell? Ooooh that smell. The smell of death surrounds you."

"Seems so long I been out on my own; Travel light and I'm always alone. Guess I was born with a travelin' bone. When my times up, I'll hold my own; You won't find me in an old folks home"

"And I found out a long time ago What a woman can do to your soul. Ah, but she can't take you anyway You don't already know how to go I get a Peaceful Easy Feeling And I know you won't let me down Because I'm already standing On the ground."

"Raven hair and ruby lips Sparks fly from her finger tips. Echoed voices in the night She's a restless spirit on an endless flight. Wooo hooo witchy woman, see how high she flies. Woo hoo witchy woman she got the moon in her eyes."

"Well this life that I've lead has took me everywhere There ain't no place I ain't never gone But its kind of like the saying that you heard so many times Well there just ain't no place like home."

"Well, I've been ridin' a winning horse for a long, long time. And sometimes I wonder, is this the end of the line? No one should take advantage of who they are. No man has got it made; if he thinks he does, he's wrong.Every mother's son Better hear what I say. Every mother's son Will rise and fall someday"

"Well, when I first met you, baby, you was a red light girl. But I tried to take you to a better world. But you would not listen. Still you think I am a fool. Well, you had it made in the shade, baby. Don't let that tree fall down on you."

"It's the Saturday night special Got a barrel that's blue and cold. Ain't good for nothin' But put a man six feet in a hole."

"Well now, they call me the breeze I keep blowin' down the road. I ain't got me nobody I don't carry me no load. Ain't no change in the weather Ain't no changes in me."

"I've seen a lot of people who thought they were cool. But then again, Lord I've seen a lot of fools. Well, I hope you people, Lord can hear what I say. You'll have your chance to hit it some day.Don't mess with the needle or a spoon Or any trip to the moon. It'll take you away."

"Play me a song Curtis Loew, Curtis Loew. Well I got your drinking money, tune up your Dobro. People said he was useless, them people are the fools. 'Cause Curtis Loew was the finest picker to ever play the blues."

"Well, every time that I come home nobody wants to let me be. It seems that all the friends I've got, just got to come, interrogate me. Well, I appreciate your feelings and I don't want to pass you by. But I don't ask you about your business, don't ask me about mine."

"Sweet Home Alabama, Where the skies are so blue. Sweet Home Alabama, Lord, I'm coming home to you."

"In Birmingham, they love the governor (Boo boo boo) Now we all did what we could do Now Watergate does not bother me Does your conscience bother you? Tell the truth"

"Well, I heard Mr. Young sing about her. Well, I heard ol' Neil put her down. Well, I hope Neil Young will remember A Southern man don't need him around anyhow."

"Big wheels keep on turning Carry me home to see my kin. Singing songs about the Southland I miss Alabamy once again."

"If I leave here tomorrow Would you still remember me? For I must be traveling on, now 'Cause there's too many places I've got to see.But, if I stayed here with you, girl Things just couldn't be the same. 'Cause I'm as free as a bird now. And this bird, you cannot change."

"Well, have you ever lived down in the ghetto? Have you ever felt that cold wind blow? Well, if you don't know what I mean Won't you stand up and scream? Cause there's things goin' on that you don't know."

"Boy, don't you worry you'll find yourself Follow your heart and nothing else And you can do this, oh baby, if you try All that I want for you my son is to be satisfied."

"Forget your lust for the rich man's gold, All that you need is in your soul. And you can do this, oh baby, if you try. All that I want for you my son is to be satisfied."

"Oh, take your time don't live too fast. Troubles will come and they will pass. Go find a woman you'll find love And don't forget son there is someone up above.And be a simple kind of man Be something you love and understand Baby be a simple kind of man Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can?"

"Well, the crowd cleared away And I began to pray And the water fell on the floor And I'm telling you son Well, it ain't no fun Staring straight down a forty-four.Well, he turned and screamed at Linda Lou And that's the break I was looking for. And you could hear me screaming a mile away, As I was headed out towards the door."

"I was scared and fearing for my life, I was shakin' like a leaf on a tree. 'Cause he was lean, mean, Big and bad, Lord Pointin' that gun at me.Oh, wait a minute, Mister I didn't even kiss her Don't want no trouble with you And I know you don't owe me But I wish you would let me Ask one favor from you."

"Train roll on, on down the line, Won't you please take me far away? Now I feel the wind blow outside my door, Means I'm, I'm leaving my woman at home. Lord yeah, Tuesday's gone with the wind. My baby's gone with the wind, the wind."

"Man, come on. I had a rough night, and I hate the fucking Eagles, man."

"They say that anger is just love disappointed. They say that love is just a state of mind, But all this fighting over who will be anointed. Oh how can people be so blind."

"And you were just too busy being fabulous, Too busy to think about us. I don't know what you were dreaming of, Somehow you forgot about love."

"Oh, it seemed like a holy place, Protected by amazing grace And we would sing right out loud, The things we could not say We thought we could change this world With words like "love" and "freedom" We were part of the lonely crowd Inside the Sad Cafe."

"Tell us what you're gonna do tonight mama, There must be someplace you can go. In the middle of the tall drinks and the drama, There must be someone you know. God knows you're looking good enough But you're so smooth and the world's so rough. You might have something to lose. Oh no, pretty mama, What you gonna do in those shoes?"

"Somebody's gonna hurt someone Before the night is through Somebody's gonna come undone. There's nothin' we can do. Everybody wants to touch somebody If it takes all night. Everybody wants to take a little chance, Make it come out right."

"Somewhere out there on that horizon Out beyond the neon lights I know there must be somethin' better but there's nowhere else in sight It's survival in the city When you live from day to day City streets don't have much pity When you're down, that's where you'll stay."

"Look at us baby, up all night Tearing our love apart Aren't we the same two people who lived Through years in the dark? Ahh... Every time I try to walk away Something makes me turn around and stay. And I can't tell you why."

"You can go the distance We'll find out in the long run (in the long run) We can handle some resistance If our love is a strong one (is a strong one)."

"I used to hurry a lot, I used to worry a lot I used to stay out till the break of day. Oh, that didn't get it, It was high time I quit it I just couldn't carry on that way. Oh, I did some damage, I know it's true Didn't know I was so lonely , till I found you."

"And you can see them there on Sunday morning Stand up and sing about what it's like up there They called it paradise, I don't know why You call some place paradise, kiss it goodbye"
