1. _ Beautiful Loser
Words and music by Bob Seger
He wants to dream like a young man
With the wisdom of an old man.
He wants his home and security,
He wants to live like a sailor at sea.
Beautiful loser, where you goona fall?
You realize you just don't need it all.
He's your oldest and your best friend,
If you need him, he'll be there again.
He's always willing to be second best,
A perfect lodger, a perfect guest.
Beautiful loser, read it on the wall
And realize, you just don't need it all.
Hey you just don't need it all, don't need it all,
Oh, oh, ... don't need it all.
Hey, you can try but you can't have it all.
He'll never make any enemies,
He won't complain if he's caught in a freeze.
He'll always ask, he'll always say please.
Beautiful loser, never take it all
'cause it's easier, faster when you fall,
You just don't need it all
Oh, oh, ... you just don't need it all.

2. _ Momma
Words and music by bob seger
I was the baby brother,
I was the quiet other,
And i remember mother so well.
I was the little stranger,
I never was in danger,
I could 'a had a manger, pray tell.
Oh, how she could control me,
When i was bad she'd scold me,
Sometimes she wouldn't hold me,
And i'd cry.
But momma she never told me a lie -
Momma she never told me a lie.
I used to stay out evenings,
Stay out too late some evenings,
And momma would be there seething,
Back home.
Momma, she sat and waited,
Sat in the hall and waited,
Now i know why she hated
That phone.
And when i'd come in she'd grab me,
Right by the arm she'd grab me,
Lord, when she was finished with me,
I'd cry ... oh, i'd cry.
But momma she never told me a lie.
Momma she never told me a lie.
Momma she could control me,
And when i was bad she'd scold me,
Sometimes she wouldn't hold me,
And i'd cry.
Momma she never told me a lie.
Momma she never promised me the sky.
Momma she never told me a lie.

3. _ Nutbush City Limts
Words and music by tina turner
There's a church house, gin house,
School house, outhouse.
On u.s. 19,
Hey, the people keep the city clean.
They call it nutbush, nutbush,
Nutbush city, nutbush city limits.
25 is the speed limit,
Motorcycles not allowed in it.
Go to town on saturday,
Go to church on sunday.
Up in ... up in ... nutbush city, nutbush city limits.
Say it again...
Work the fields on weekdays,
Have a picnic every labor day.
Go to town on a friday,
Be in church on a sunday.
Up in ... up in ... nutbush city, nutbush city limits.
Little old town,
Down in tennessee.
A real quiet community,
A real quiet southern community.
Not much happens in nutbush;
You can hear the corn grow.
Got to watch out for the police,
Drivin' through nutbush.
Got to watch out for the police,
If you're drivin' through nutbush.
Watch out for the police,
Watch out for the police.
Keep an eye out for the police,
Keep an eye out for the police.
An eye out for the police.
Nutbush city limits,
Nutbush city limits,
Nutbush city limits.

4. _ Fine Memory
Words and music by bob seger
Last night i saw you walking
Past my bed late at night,
And the moon shone
Through your gown.
Such a fine memory,
I think i'm gonna take it with me.
And later as you were sleeping,
Sleeping next to me,
I felt your hair on my skin.
Such a fine memory,
I know i'm gonna take it with me.
I'm going to take it
Far as i go.
I'm going to take it
Far as i go.
And later as i was driving,
And the sky was getting light,
And the sun came
Through the trees,
I had a fine memory,
Such a fine memory.

5. _ Katmandu
words and music by bob seger
I think i'm going to katmandu.
That's really, really where i'm going to.
If i ever get out of here,
That's what i'm gonna do.
K-k-k-k-k-k katmandu.
I think that's really where i'm going to.
If i ever get out of here,
I'm going to katmandu.
I got no kick against the west coast.
Warner brothers are such good hosts.
I raise my whiskey glass and give them a toast.
I'm sure they know it's true.
I got no rap against the southern states.
Every time i've been there it's been great.
But now i'm leaving and i can't be late
And to myself be true.
That's why i'm going to katmandu.
Up to the mountain's where i'm going to.
And if i ever get out of here,
That's what i'm gonna do.
K-k-k-k-k-k katmandu.
That's really, really where i'm going to.
If i ever get out of here,
I'm going to katmandu.
I've got no quarrel with the midwest.
The folks out there have given me their best.
I've lived there all my life; i've been their guest.
I sure have loved it, too.
I'm tired of looking at the tv news.
I'm tired of driving hard and paying dues
I figure, baby, i've got nothing to lose.
I'm tired of being blue.
That's why i'm going to katmandu.
Up to the mountain's where i'm going to.
If i ever get out of here,
That's what i'm gonna do.
K-k-k-k-k-k katmandu.
Take me, baby, cause i'm going with you.
If i ever get out of here,
I'm going to katmandu.
I ain't got nothin' 'gainst the east coast.
You want some people where they got the most!
And new york city's like a friendly ghost;
You seem to pass right through.
I know i'm gonna miss the usa.
I guess i'll miss it every single day.
But no one loves me here anyway!
I know my plane is due.
The one that's going to katmandu.
Up to the mountain's where i'm going to.
If i ever get out of here,
That's what i'm gonna do.
K-k-k-k-k-k katmandu.
Really, really, really, going to.
If i ever get out of here,
If i ever get out of here,
If i ever get out of here,
I'm going to katmandu.

6. _ Jody Girl
Words and music by bob seger
Jody girl, jody girl, spend your time today
Watching clocks spin the hours away.
Jody girl, you know the world's
Goin' around all day,
Thinking back to the things you used to say.
Didn't he put you on a pedestal,
When first you met?
Sure was some honeymoon,
Ain't it hard to forget?
What ever happened to that crazy boy
With the love light in his eyes?
Used to bring you flowers every day.
Now you sit here on a cloudy afternoon
Watchin' a soap opera on t.v.
Your old man's workin'
And your kids are out playin'
And you're not feelin' too free.
Keep thinkin' back, thinkin' back to high school,
Them high school days.
All those wild, wild times you had.
All those boy friends, boy friends knockin' on your door.
Jody girl, jody girl,
Spend your time today
Watchin' clocks spin the hours away.
Jody girl, you know the world's
Goin' by all day.
Thinkin' back to before you promised to stay.
Didn't he put you on a pedestal
When first you met?
Sure was some honeymoon -
Ain't it hard to forget?

7. _ Travelin' Man
Words and music by bob seger
Up with the sun, gone with the wind,
She always said i was lazy.
Leavin' my home, leavin' my friends,
Runnin' when things get too crazy.
Out on thr road, out 'neath the stars,
Feelin' the breeze, passin' the cars.
Women have come, women have gone,
Everyone tryin' to cage me.
Some were so sweet, i barely got free,
Others, they only enraged me.
Sometimes at night, i see their faces,
I feel the traces they left on my soul.
Those are the memories that made me a wealthy soul.
Travelin' man, love when i can,
Turn loose my hand 'cause i'm goin'.
Travelin' man, catch if you can,
But sooner or lare i'm goin'.
Travelin' man ... travelin' man, yes i am.
Sometimes at night, i see their faces,
I feel the traces they left on my soul.
These are the memories that made me a wealthy soul.
These are the memories that made me a wealthy soul.

8. _ Black Night
Words and music by bob seger
He'll seem to come on with a vengance,
You'll think that you've been wasting time.
You'll think that you've been discussing history
And he'll have left you far behind.
Ah, but you must realize he needs you
To keep himself from going blind,
And when the black night falls upon you,
You'll find it easy to be kind... kind.
The stars may shimmer in the black sky,
The wind may rustle in the trees.
You may be worried he may psych you,
You might be praying on your knees.
Ah, but when you realize he needs you
And when you finally take some time,
The cool black night will fall upon you,
You'll find it easy to unwind.
Hey, the moon may rise on the misty mountain,
You'll wish you never made the climb.
But when the black night's finally with you,
You'll find it easy to be kind,
You'll find it easy to unwind,
You'll find it easy to be blind.

9. _ Sailing Nights
Words and music by bob seger
Like the wind that carried ahab
To a far, more distant shore,
To a shipwreck that was certain
Long before.
I can see there's no use sailing
Among ships i've known before.
It will only bring me more,
And more and more
Lonely sailing nights, more,
Racing, dimming lights.
Lonely nights, and all too
Familiar sights.
Just as water seeks its level,
So i only seek to live;
Hoping somehow i can find
A way to give.
And the sea, it softly beckons,
"come and go where you've not been."
With the dawning of a new day,
I'm gone, again.
Lonely sailing nights, ... gone,
Racing, dimming lights,
Lonely nights,
And all too
Familiar sights.
