1. _ Katmandu
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-KATMANDU,
I THINK THAT'S 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 MOUNTAINS 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 - KATMANDU,
THAT'S REALLY, REALLY WHERE I'M GOING TO,
OH, IF I EVER GET OUT OF HERE
I'M GOING TO KATMANDU.
I GOT NO QUARREL WITH THE MIDWEST,
THE FOLKS OUT THERE HAVE GIVEN ME THIER BEST.
I LIVED THERE ALL MY LIFE,
I'VE BEEN THIER GUEST,
I SURE HAVE LOVED IT, TOO.
I'M TIRED OF LOOKING AT THE T.V. 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 MOUNTAINS WHERE I'M GOING TO.
IF I EVER GET OUT OF HERE
THAT'S WHAT I'M GONNA DO.
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 NOTHING 'GAINST THE EAST COAST.
YOU WANT SOME PEOPLE, WELL 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 U.S.A.,
I GUESS I'LL MISS IT EVERY SINGLE DAY,
BUT NO ONE LOVES ME HERE ANYWAY,
I KNOW MY PLAYING IS THROUGH.
THAT'S WHY I'M GOING TO KATMANDU,
UP TO THE MOUNTAINS WHERE I'M GOING TO.
IF I EVER GET OUT OF HERE,
THAT'S WHAT I'M GONNA DO.
K-K-K-K-K-KATMANDU,
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.

2. _ Fire Lake
Who's gonna ride that chrome three wheeler
Who's gonna make that first mistake
Who wants to wear those gypsy leathers
All the way to Fire Lake
Who wants to break the news about Uncle Joe
You remember Uncle Joe
He was the one afraid to cut the cake
Who wants to tell poor Aunt Sarah
Joe's run off to Fire Lake
Joe's run off to Fire Lake
Who wants to brave those bronze beauties
Lying in the sun
With their long soft hair falling
Flying as they run
Oh they smile so shy
And they flirt so well
And they lay you down so fast
Till you look straight up and say
Oh lord
Am I really here at lost
Who wants to play those eights and aces
Who wants a raise
Who needs a stake
Who wants to take that long shot gamble
And head out to Fire Lake
Head out
Who wants to go to Fire Lake
And head out
Who wants to go to Fire Lake
Head out
Out to Fire Lake
Who's gonna do it
(Bob Seger)

3. _ Beautiful Loser
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 CAN'T HAVE 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 CAN'T HAVE IT ALL.
...YOU CAN'T HAVE IT ALL,
YOU CAN'T HAVE IT ALL,
OH, OH, ... 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.

4. _ Shakedown
No matter what you think you've done
You'll find it's not enough
No matter what you think you know
You won't get through
It's a given, L.A. law Someone's faster on the draw
No matter where you hide I'm comin' after you
Now matter how the race is won It always ends the same
Another room without a view Awaits downtown
You can shake me for a while
Live it up in style
No matter what you do I'm comin' after you
Shakedown, breakdown, takedown
Everybody wants into the crowded light
Breakdown, takedown, your busted
Let down, your guard, honey
Just about the time you think that it's alright
Breakdown, takedown, your busted
This is a town where everyone Is reaching for the top
This is a place where sceond best will never do
It's O.K. to want to shine
But once you step across that line
No matter where you hide I'm comin after you
Shakedown, breakdown, takedown
Everybody wants into the crowded light
Breakdown, takedown, your busted
Shakedown, beakdown, honey
Just about the time you think that it's alright
Breakdown, takedown, your busted

5. _ Tomorrow
They say the sun
Is gonna grow someday
It's gonna get a real close
And burn us all up
No more traffic in the street
No more road rage
No more pretending
Things are real tough
I cant promise you tomorrow
No one has the right to lie
You can beg and steal and borrow
It won't save you from the sky
Let me see a show of hands
Tell me the truth now
What happens if
Nuetrinos have mass
I can't tell you about tomorrow
I'm as lost as yesterday
In between your joy and sorrow
I suggest you have your say
Here's to the little things
The sports section
The weather channel
A good battery

6. _ Manhatten
Shakey Davey's got a twelve gauge in his hand
It's sawed off to the limit
He's got a vague plan
There's this liquor store on Madison
There's another one down on Washington square
He's pretty sure no one's ever seen him
Down around there
The first one's birdshot the next four are double aught buck
The last one's a slug just for good luck
He's got his works in his pocket
He wants to score as soon as he's done
He can't wait to get straight to get long gone
He puts on his long coat scribbles off a short note
Sits himself down and waits for the sun to go down
It's right around midnight and there's still too damn many people on this street
He's walked all the way from Battery Park he's got sweaty hands and burnin' feet
He's desperate for a fix
His body's screamin' "Get me high"
He bursts through the door and lets one fly
Sunrise in the park and Davey's cold as stone
He got some bad merchandise and he was all alone
Two more unsolved mysteries a iot of paper pushed around
Most folks are just wakin' up in this great big town

7. _ Fire Down Below
Here comes old Rosie she's looking mighty fine
Here comes hot Nancy she's steppin' right on time
There go the street lights bringin on the night
Here come the men faces hidden from the light
All through the shadows they come and they go
With only one thing in common
They got the fire down below
Here comes the rich man in his big long limousine
Here comes the poor man all you got to have is green
Here comes the banker and the lawyer and the cop
One thing for certain it ain't never gonna stop
When it all gets too heavy
That's when they come and go
With only one thing in common
They got the fire down below
It happens out in Vegas happens in Moline
On the blue blood streets of Boston
Up in Berkeley and out in Queens
And it went on yesterday and it's going on tonight
Somewhere there's somebody ain't treatin' somebody right
And he's looking out for Rosie and she's looking mighty fine
And he's walking the streets for Nancy
And he'll find her everytime
When the street light flicker bringing on the night
Well they'll be slipping into darkness slipping out of sight
All through the midnight
Watch 'em come and watch 'em go
With only one thing in common
They got the fire down below

8. _ Chances are
Chances are you'll find me
Somewhere on your road tonight,
Seems I always end up drivin' by,
Ever since I've known you
It just seems you're on my way,
All the rules of logic don't apply
I long to see you in the night,
Be with you till morning light...
I remember clearly
How you looked the night we met,
I recall your laughter and your smile,
I remember how you made me
Feel so at ease,
I remember your grace, your style...
And now your all I long to see,
You've come to mean so much to me...
Chances are I'll see you,
Somewhere in my dreams tonight.
You'll be smilin' like the night we met,
Chances are I'll hold you,
And I'll offer all I have
You're the only one I can't forget,
Baby your the best I've ever met...
And I'll be dreamin' of the future,
And hopin' you'll be by my side
And in the morning I'll be longing,
For the night...
For the night...
Chances are I'll see you,
Somewhere in my dreams tonight...
You'll be smilin' like the night we met...
Chances are I'll hold you,
And I'll offer all I have,
You're the only one I can't forget...
Baby your the best I've ever met.
(From the motion picture Hope Floats 1998)

9. _ Satisfied
I need some wisdom
I need some truth
I need some beauty
I need some proof
And in the meantime
I need a place to hide
If I had you babe I'd be satisfied
Went to the ocean
stood in the surf
I felt the water
I felt the earth
I head the angels
They couldnt be denied
If I had you babe
I'd be satisfied
Who's gonna beleive me
I'm a broken down dog
But I can still snarl with the best
The train is leavin
We can catch it if we run
We can leave it all behind
This utter emptiness
You are the reason
That I was born
You are the answer
I'm lookin for
All of the others
Just stood around and lied
If I had you babe
I'd be satisfied
Ooooh yeah
awwwh yeah
Awwwh

10. _ Her Strut
She's totally committed
To major independence
But she's a lady through and through
She gives them quite a battle
All that they can handle
She'll bruise some
She'll hurt some too
But oh they love to watch her strut
Oh they do respect her but
They love to watch her strut
Sometimes they'll want to leave her
Just give up and leave her
But they would never play that scene
In spite of all her talking
Once she starts in walking
The lady will be all they ever dreamed
Oh they'll love to watch her strut
Oh they'll kill to make the cut
They love to watch her strut
Yeah love to watch her strut
Watch her strut

11. _ Sunspot Baby
She packed up her bags
and she took off down the road
Left me here stranded
with the bills she owed
She gave me a false address
Took off with my American Express
Sunspot Baby
She sure had me way outguessed
She left me here stranded
like a dog out in the yard
Charged up a fortune
on my credit card
She used my address and my name
Man that was sure unkind
Sunspot Baby
She sure has a real good time
I looked in Miami
I looked in Negril
The closest I came was a month old bill
I checked the Bahamas and they said she was gone
I can't understand why she did me so wrong
But she packed up her bags
And she took off down the road
Said she was going to visit sister Flo
She used my address and my name
And man that was sure unkind
Sunspot Baby
I'm gonna catch up sometime
Sure had a real good time

12. _ New Coat of Paint
Let's put a New Coat of Paint
On this lonesome old town
Set 'em up, set 'em up
we'll be knockin' 'em down
You wear a dress babe, I'll wear a tie
We'll laugh at that old bloodshot moon
In that burgundy sky
All our scribbled love dreams
Lost or thrown away
Never miss the shuffle on an overflowin' day
When love needs a transfusion
Shoot it full of wine
Fishin' for a good time
Starts with throwin' in your line
Let's put a New Coat of Paint
On this lonesome old town
Set 'em up, set 'em up
we'll be knockin' 'em down
You wear a dress babe, I'll wear a tie
We'll laugh at that old bloodshot moon
In that burgundy sky
(Tom Waits)

13. _ Tryin' To Live My Life Without You
I used to smoke five packs of cigarettes a day
It was the hardest thing to put them away
I drank four or five bottles of wine
I kept a glass in my hand all the time.
Breakin' those habits was hard to do
But it's nothin' compared to the changes
That you put me through
Tryin' to live my life without you, babe
Is the hardest thing I'll ever do
Tryin' to forget the love we once shared
Is the hardest burden I'll ever bear
I had the worst reputation in town
For chasin' all the women around
I thought changin' my way of living was hard to do
But it's nothing campared to the cahnges
That you've put me through
I've done everything I've tried to do
But it's gonna take a miracle to get me over you
Tryin' to live my life without you, babe
Is the hardest thing I'll ever do
Tryin' to forget the love we once shared
Is the hardest burden I'll ever bear
(Bob Seger)

14. _ Understanding
It seems like only yesterday
I didn't have a clue
I stood alone not knowin where to turn
Now suddenly I look around
And everything looks new
I don't know why, but I think I'm startin' to learn
They call it understanding
A willingness to grow
I'm finally understanding
There's so much I can know
Until the day you came along
I used to just get lost
I only heard the things I wanted to hear
It always seemed like no one cared
But then you took the time
And now I look and everything seems clear
You've got me understanding
You've really helped me see
I'm finally understanding
It's meant so much to me
You've got me understanding
You're really on my side
You've got me understanding

15. _ Shame on the Moon
Until you've been beside a man
You don't know what he wants
You don't know if he cries at night
You don't know if he don't
When nothin comes easy
Old nightmares are real
Until you' ve been beside a man
You don't know how he feels
Once inside a woman's heart
A man must keep his head
Heaven opens up the door
Where angels fear to tread
Some men go crazy
Some men go slow
Some men go just where they want
Some men never go
Oh blame it on midnight
Ooh shame on the moon
Everywhere it's all around
Comfort in a crowd
Strangers faces all around
Laughin right out loud
Hey watch where your goin
Step light on old toes
Cause until you've been beside a man
You don't know who he knows
Oh blame it on midnight
Ooh shame on the moon
Oh blame it on midnight
Ooh shame on the moon
(Rodney Crowell)

16. _ Rock and Roll Never Forgets
So you're a little bit older and a lot less bolder
Than you used to be
So you used to shake 'em down
But now you stop and think about your dignity
So now sweet sixteens turned thirty-one
You get to feelin' weary when the work days done
Well all you got to do is get up and into your kicks
If you're in a fix
Come back baby
Rock and roll never forgets
You better get yourself a partner
Go down to the concert or the local bar
Check the local newspapers
Chances are you won't have to go too far
Yeah the rafters will be ringing cause the beat's so strong
The crowd will be swaying and singing along
And all you got to do is get in into the mix
If you need a fix
Come back baby
Rock and roll never forgets
Oh the bands still playing it loud and lean
Listen to the guitar player making it scream
All you got to do is just make that scene tonight
Heh tonight
Well now sweet sixteens turned thirty-one
Feel a little tired feeling under the gun
Well all Chuck's children are out there playing his licks
Get into your kicks
Come back baby
Rock 'n Roll never forgets
Said you can come back baby
Rock 'n Roll never forgets
(Bob Seger)
