2. _ Fever
When i get home from my job
I turn on my t.v.
But i can't keep my mind on the show
When i lay down at night
I don't get no sleep
So i turn on the radio
But, lord, the only thing i hear
Is you whisperin' in my ear
The words that you used to say
Well, now the days grow longer
My love grows stronger
And the fever gets worse every day
I got a fever for a girl
He's got the fever
Oh, he's got the fever
Nothing that a boy can do
When he's got the fever for a girl
He's got the fever
Oh, he's got the fever
Left this little boy blue
I can remember comin' home
See you standin' at the stove
With the dishes on the table
Dinner ready to go
Or maybe out to a movie show
Something that you'd like to see
Oh, you were my sun in the morning
And my moon at night
When you put your arms around me
Made me fell alright
Well, now the days grow longer
And my love just grows stronger
And the fever gets so bad at night
I got a fever for a girl
He's got the fever
Oh, he's got the fevernothing that a boy can do
When he's got the fever for a girl
He's got the fever
Oh, he's got the fever
Left this little boy blue
It's gonna be alright, now
If i can make it to the morning
I'm gonna be alright, now
If i can just make it to the morning
It's just this long and lonely nights
Everytime i close my eyes
All i see is her face
Everytime i shut my eyes
All i see is her face
But i'm gonna be alright, now
I'll be alright, now
When i shut down all the lights
When i turn off all the lights
When i turn down all the lights
And when i lay my head on the pillow
I can't stop myself in thinking
"baby, where are you tonight?"
"where is she tonight?"

3. _ Lion's Den
You broke my heart, tore it apart
Thought it was cute, thought it was smart
But now i'm back and i've got the strength of ten
So i got a message for you my friend
Chorus:
I'm daniel waitin' in the lion's den
Daniel waitin' for that lion to come
Daniel waitin' in the lion's den
Dum dum dee dum dum dee dee dum dum
That old lion's mean and long in the tooth
And like you, baby, he's out on the loose
Messin' hearts up time and time again
Well it's time for that messin' to end
(chorus)
At night i hear you out prowling around
Tearing guys up, scaring 'em down
Now all that growling's gonna come to no end
'cause i m just biding my time, my little friend

4. _ The Promise
Johnny works in a factory and billy works downtown
Terry works in a rock'n'roll band
Looking for that million-dollar sound
Me i don't do nothing much,
I spend a lot of time alone
Some nights i go to the drive-in,
And some night i stay home
I followed that dream
Just like those guys do way up on the screen
Drove a chopped up challenger
Down route 9
Through the dead ends and all the bad scenes
And when the promise was broken
I cashed in a few of my dream
Well, i built that challenger by myself
But i needed money and so i sold it
I lived a secret i should've kept to myself
But i got drunk one night and i told it
All my life i fought that fight
The one that no man can never win
And every day it just gets harder
To live the dream i'm believing in
Thunder road ...
I stay up every morning until it turns light
Thunder road ...
There's something dying out on the highway tonight
Well now i won big once and i hit the coast,
Oh but somehow i paid the big cost
Inside i felt like i was carrying
The broken spirits of all the other ones who lost
When the promise is broken you go on living
But man it takes something from down in your soul
Like when the truth is spoken, it don't make no
Difference
Finally something in your heart turns cold
Yeah i followed that dream, me and some guysin the dead ends and all the
Two-bit bars
The night the promise was broken
I was drunk and far away from home,
Sleeping with a stranger
In the back seat of a borrowed car
Thunder road ...
Here's one for the lost lovers and all the fixed games
Thunder road ...
Here's one for the tires rushing by in the rain
Thunder road ...
I remember when me and billy, we'd always say
Thunder road ...
We were gonna take it all, and throw it all away

5. _ Growin' Up
I stood stonelike at midnight suspended in my masquerade
I combed my hair till it was just right and commanded the night brigade
I was open to pain and crossed by the rain and i walked on a crooked crutch
I strolled all alone through a fallout zone and came out with my soul untouched
I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd but when they said `sit down' i stood up
Ooh-ooh growin' up
The flag of piracy flew from my mast my sails were set wing to wing
I had a jukebox graduate for first mate she couldn't sail but she sure could sing
I pushed b-52 and bombed `em with the blues with my gear set stubborn on standing
I broke all the rules strafed my old high school never once gave thought to landing
I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd but when they said `come down' i threw up
Ooh-ooh growin' up
I took month-long vacations in the stratosphere and you know it's really hard to hold your breath
I swear i lost everything i ever loved or feared i was the cosmic kid
Well my feet they finally took root in the earth but i got me a nice little place in the stars
I swear i found the key to the universe in the engine of an old parked car
I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd but when they said`sit down'i stood up
Ooh-ooh growin' up
Ooh-ooh growin' up

6. _ Born In The U.s.a.
Born down in a dead man's town
The first kick i took was when i hit the ground
You end up like a dog that's been beat too much
Till you spend half your life just covering up
Born in the u.s.a., i was born in the u.s.a.
I was born in the u.s.a., born in the u.s.a.
Got in a little hometown jam
So they put a rifle in my hand
Sent me off to a foreign land
To go and kill the yellow man
Born in the u.s..a....
Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man said "son if it was up to me"
Went down to see my v.a. man
He said "son, don't you understand"
I had a brother at khe sahn
Fighting off the viet cong
They're still there, he's all gone
He had a woman he loved in saigon
I got a picture of him in her arms now
Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Out by the gas fires of the refinery
I'm ten years burning down the road
Nowhere to run ain't got nowhere to go
Born in the u.s.a., i was born in the u.s.a.
Born in the u.s.a., i'm a long gone daddy in the u.s.a.
Born in the u.s.a., born in the u.s.a.
Born in the u.s.a., i'm a cool rocking daddy in the u.s.a.

7. _ Sad Eyes
(tracks version)
---------------------------------------------
Every day here you come walking
I hold my tongue, i don't do much talking
You say you're happy and you're doin' fine well go ahead, baby, i got plenty of time
Sad eyes never lie
Sad eyes never lie
Well for a while i've been watching you steady
Ain't gonna move 'til you're good and ready
You show up and then you shy away
But i know pretty soon you'll be walkin' this way
Sad eyes never lie
Sad eyes never lie
Baby don't you know i don't care
Don't you know that i've been there
Well if something in the air feels a little unkind
Don't worry darling, it'll slip your mind
I know you think you'd never be mine
Well that's okay, baby, i don't mind
That shy smile's sweet, that's a fact
Go ahead, i don't mind the act
Here you come all dressed up for a date
Well one more step and it'll be too late
Blue blue ribbon in your hair
Like you're so sure i'll be standing here
(another version)
------------------------------------------
'til the end
Just me and you baby
Just me and you girl
And i remember you even back then
And i remember you from back then
And i remember back then that i swore that for you i'd drive all night
Anytime, anyplace
That for you i'd drive all night
Anytime, anyplace
That for you i'd drive all night
Anytime, anyplace
That for you i'd drive all night
Through the wind
Through the rain
Through the snow
Just to buy you some shoes
Just to check you out
Just to kiss that pretty face
Just to taste your tender charms
Just to sleep
Just to sleep
In your arms
Babe, maybe you wasn't even listening
Maybe you wasn't even listening
But i remember you promised that you'd never go anyplace without me
You swore that you'd never go anyplace without me
You promised that you'd never leave without me
You swore that you'd never leave without me
And like everything else
And everybody else from back then you promised
And baby you lied
Baby you lied
Baby you lied
Baby you lied
Little girl you lied
So now you've come back
So now you've come back
So now you've come back
But just what makes you think that it's so easy
Just what makes you think
That it's so easy
Just to stop
To stop
To stop
To stop
To stop
To stop
To stop
To stop
To stop
To stop
To stop
To stop
To stop

8. _ Loose Ends
We met out on open streets
When we had no place to go
I remember how my heart beat
When you said "i love you so"
Then little by little
We choked out all the life that out love could hold
No, no
It was like we held a noose
And baby without check
We pulled it a little tighter around our necks
Each one waiting for the other
Darling to say when
Now baby you can leave me tonight on the loose end
We didn't count tomorrows
We took what we had and baby we ran
There was no place for sorrow
Every place we went i held your hand
And when the night closed in
I was sure your kisses told me all i had to know
But oh no
It was like we held a noose
And baby without check
We pulled 'til it grew tighter around our necks
Each one waiting for the other
Darling to say when
Oh baby you can leave me tonight on the loose end
Our love has fallen around us
Like we said it never would
We saw it happen to all the others
But to us it never would
Well how could something so bad, darling
Come from something that was so good
I don't know
But it was like we held a noose
And baby without check
We pulled 'til it grew tighter around our necks
Each one waiting for the other
Darling to say when
Oh baby you can leave me tonight on the loose end
On a loose end

9. _ I Wanna Be With You
So let the frozen sands crumble, crumble and fall
Yeah that's all right, i don't mind at all
Well let it all tumble right into the sea
Yeah that's all right, that's fine with me
Since you came down the line
I don't sleep at night
I got one thing on my mind
And so every day, every night
I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
That's what i wanna do
'cause you're so out of sight
I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
That's what i wanna do
Well i lost my job at the texaco station
Instead of pumpin' gas i dreamed of you
I got thrown out of my house
I got such a bad reputation
'cause all i wanna do is be seen with you
They gave me my pay and said walk
I don't care what they say
Go ahead and let 'em all talk
Until the world falls apart
I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
That's what i wanna do
Until they rip out my heart
I wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
That's what i wanna do
Bedtime, hold tight, love me just a little bit
All night, a little bit more
Tonight, tonight ...
Oh i don't know, i don't know
I don't understand ityou ain't pretty at all
But i come when you whisper
I run when you call
And baby i can't stand it
And baby that's all
Ridin' by your side in my car
Oh, oh i wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
Darlin' don't you know
Oh, oh i wanna be with you
I wanna be with you
Because i love you so

10. _ Where The Bands Are
I hear the guitars ringin' out
Ringin' out down union street
I hear the lead singer shoutin' out, girl
I wanna be a slave to the beat
Yeah, tonight i wanna break my chains
Somebody break my heart
Somebody shake my brains
Downtown there's something that i wanna hear
There's a sound, little girl, keeps ringing in my ear
Chorus:
I wanna be where the bands are
I wanna be where the bands are
Where the bands are
I wanna be where the bands are
I get off from work and i grab something to eat
I turn the corner and i drive down your street
Little gray houses darling looks like nowhere
But hey i know you're hiding in there
Come on out for just a little while
You know that heart of stone, girl, it just ain't your style
Tonight i wanna feel the beat of the crowd
And when i tell you that i love you
I wanna have to shout it out loud
Shout it out loud
(chorus)
I hear the guitars ringin' out again
Ringin' on down union street
I hear the lead singer shoutin' out and girl
I wanna be a slave to the beat
And i want something that'll break my chains
Something to break my heart
Something to shake my brains
There's a rocker's special on tonight
So meet me on down
'neath the neon lights
(chorus)

11. _ Pink Cadillac
You may think i'm fooling
For the foolish things i do
You may wonder how come i love you
When you get on my nerves like you do
Well baby, you know you bug me
There ain't no secret about that
Well come on over here and hug me
And, baby, i'll spill the facts
Well, honey it ain't your money
Cause baby i got plenty of that
I love you for your pink cadillac
Crushed velvet seats
Riding in the back, oozing down the street
Waving to the girls
Feeling out of sight
Spending all my money on a saturday night
Honey, i just wonder what you do there in back of your pink cadillac
Pink cadillac
Well now way back in the bible, temptations always come along
There's always somebody tempting you
Somebody into doing something they know is wrong
Well they tempt you man with silver and they tempt you sir with gold
And they tempt you with the pleasures that the flesh does surely hold
They say eve tempted adam with an apple
Man i ain't going for that
I know it was her pink cadillac
Crushed velvet seats
Riding in the back, oozing down the street
Waving to the girls
Feeling out of sight
Spending all my money on a saturday night
Honey, i just wonder what you do there in back of your pink cadillac
Now some folks say it's too big and uses too much gas
Some folks say it's too old and that it goes too fast
But my love is bigger than a honda, it's bigger than a subaru
Hey man there's only one thing and one car that will do
Anyway we don't have to drive it honey, we can park it out in back
And have a party in your pink cadillac

12. _ Seaside Bar Song
Well billy bought a chevy '40 coupe deluxe
Chrome wheels, stick shift
Give her gas, pop the clutch
Little girls on the corner
Like a diamond they shine
Someday billy i'm gonna make 'em all mine
Hey girl, you wanna ride in daddy's cadillac?
Because i love the way your long hair falls down your back
Bo diddley, bo diddley's at the seaside bar
We'll run barefoot in the sand, listen to his guitar
You say your mum's gonna meet you when the morning comes
And your papa's gonna beat you 'cause he knows you're out on the run
I'm gonna live a life of love and tonight you're the one
The highway is alive tonight
So baby do not be frightened
There's something 'bout a pretty girl on a sweet summer
Night
That gets this boy excited
Radio man finally understands and plays you something you can move to
You lay back easy ...
Your girl leans over and says
"daddy, can you turn that radio up any louder?"
Ah, the juke joint's humming
Everybody came down
Little willy and his soul boom putting all that stuff down
Well don't let that daylight steal your soul
Get in your wheels and roll, roll, roll, roll, roll
Mama's gonna meet you when the morning comes
And your daddy's gonna beat you 'cause he knows you're out on the run
But i don't care i'm gonna live and laugh and love while the night's still

13. _ Hearts Of Stone
You stare in the mirror at the lines in your face
And you try so hard to see
The way things were when we were at your place
Everyday was just you and me
And you cry because things ain't like before
Well, don't you know it can't be that way anymore
But don't worry baby
'cause i can't talk now, i'm not alone
So put your ear close to the phone
'cause this is the last dance, the last chance
For hearts of stone
If there was something, baby,
That i could do,
Something that would last, honey, i would
But you should know better than to think that you
Can return to the past
So close your eyes and i'll be there
Hold you once more and not go anywhere
I wish i could babe
But i can't talk now, i'm not alone
So put your ear close to the phone
'cause this is the last dance, the last chance
For hearts of stone
And you cry because things get so strange so fast
And you cry because nothing good ever lasts
Well, i know babe
But i can't talk now, i'm not alone
So put your ear close to the phone
'cause this is the last dance, the last chance
For hearts of stone
I can't talk now, i'm not alone
So put your ear close to the phone
'cause this is the last dance, the last chance
For hearts of stone

14. _ Trouble River (i Can't Keep From Crying)
Well, the river runs through this valley
Combing deep and black [?]
Coming like a tombstone's
Shadows across my back
Trouble river
Six foot high and risin'
Trouble river
I can't keep from cryin'
Woke up last night a'shakin'
Shakin' from a dream
All i seen was smilin' faces
Starin' back at me
Trouble river
Six foot high and risin'
Trouble river
I can't keep from cryin'
Snakes crawling in the house
I'm stuck in muddy ground
Tonight i'm gonna shed this skin
Cause water's risin' and i goin' down to
Trouble river
Six foot high and risin'
Trouble river
I can't keep from cryin'

15. _ Part Man Part Monkey
They prosecuted some poor sucker in these united states
For teachin' that man descended from the apes
They coulda settles that case without a fuss or fight
If they'd seen me chasin' you sugar
Thru the jungle last night
They'd a called in that jury and a one two three said
'part man part monkey, definitely'
Well the church bell rings from the corner steeple
Man in a monkey suit swears he'll do no evil
Offers his lover's prayer but his soul lies
Dark and driftin and unsatisfied
Well hey bartender tell me what'd ya see
Part man part monkey looks like to me
Well the night is dark the moon is full
The flowers of romance exert their pull
We talk a while my fingers slip
I'm hard and cracking like a whip
Well did god make man in a breath of holy fire
Or did he crawl on up out of the muck and mire
Well the man on the street
Believes what the bible tells him so
But you can ask me mister because i know
Tell them soul-suckin' preachers to come on down and see
Part man part monkey, baby that's me

16. _ Janey, Don't You Lose Heart
You got your book baby with all your fears
Let me honey and i'll catch your tears
I'll take your sorrow if you want me to
Come tomorrow
That's what i'll do
Listen to me
Janey don't you lose heart
Janey don't you lose heart
Janey don't you lose heart
Janey don't you lose heart
Well you say you got no new dreams to touch
You feel like a stranger babe who knows too much
You come home late and get undressed
You lie in bed and feel this emptiness
Well listen to me
Janey don't you lose heart
Janey don't you lose heart
Janey don't you lose heart
Janey don't you lose heart
Till every river it runs dry
Until the sun's torn from the sky
Till every feel you've felt burst free
Gone tumblin' down into the sea
Listen to me
Janey don't you lose heart
Janey don't you lose heart
Janey don't you lose heart
Janey don't you lose heart

17. _ My Love Will Not Let You Down
At night i go to bed
But i just can't sleep
I got something runnin' around my head
Ooh that just won't keep
In the silence i hear my heart beatin'
Time slippin' away
I got a time bomb tickin' deep inside of me
Girl all i want to say
I keep searchin' for you darlin'
Searchin everywhere i go
And when i find you there's gonna be just one thing that you gotta know
One thing you gotta know
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
At night i walk the streets lookin' for romance
But i always end up stumblin' in a half trance
I search for a connection in some new eyes
That hardly protect you from too many dreams passed by
I see you standin, across the room watchin' me without a sound
I'm gonna push my way through that crowd
I'm gonna tear your holy walls down
Tear all your walls down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
Well hold still now darlin'
Hold still for god's sake
Cause i got me a promise
I ain't afraid to make (i ain't afraid to make)
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down
My love, love, love, love, love, love, will not let you down

18. _ Brothers Under The Bridges
Saigon, it was all gone
The same coke machines as the streets i grew on
Down in a mesquite canyon, come walking along the ridge
Me and the brothers under the bridge
Campsite's an hour's walk from the nearest road or town
There's too much brush in camp for the chp choppers to touch down
Ain't lookin' for nothin , i just want to live
Me and the brothers under the bridge
Come the santa anas and man that dry brush would light
Jimmy devon got burned up in his own campfire one winter night
We buried his body in the white stone high up on the ridge
Me and the brothers under the bridge
I had enough of the town oh and the straight life
Ain't careful you end up on the wrong end of someone's knife
Now i want no trouble and i ain't got none to give
Me and the brothers under the bridge
Well i shipped home back in '72
And you know you were just a beautiul light in your mom's dark eyes of
Blue
I stepped out on the tarmac, we were just kids
Me and the brothers under the bridge
Come veterans' day i sat on the stand in my dress blues
I held your mother's hand, and they passed with the red, white and
Blue
One minute you're right there, and somethin' slips.............
