1. _ Pony Boy
Pony boy pony boy
Won't you be my pony boy
Giddy-up giddy-up giddy-up whoo
My pony boy
Ride with me ride with me
Won't you take a ride with me
Underneath the starry sky
My pony boy
O'er the hills and through the trees
We'll go ridin' you and me
Giddy-up giddy-up giddy-away
My pony boy
Down into the valley deep
'neath the eaves we will sleep
Sky of dreams up above
My pony boy

2. _ Soul Driver
I rode through forty nights of the gospels rain
'neath black sky pouring snakes, frogs, and a love in vain
You were down where the river runs wide
Baby, let me be your soul driver
Well if something in the air feels a little unkind
Don't worry darling, oh it'll slip your mind
I'll be your gypsy joker your shotgun rider
Baby let me be your soul driver
Well now no one knows which way love's wheel turns
We may get rich or crash and burn
This fortune weight or just the black hand of fate
This love rushes over us and its ghostly voice
If the angels are unkind or if the seasons are dark
Or if in the air love just falls apart
Well then here's to our destruction
Baby let me be your soul driver
Yea here's to our destruction
Baby let me be your soul driver

3. _ Real Man
Took my baby to a picture show
Found a seat in the back row
Sound came up lights went down
Rambo he was blowin' 'em down
I don't need no gun in my fist baby
All i need is your sweet kiss
To get me feelin' like a real man
Feelin' like a real man
Well you can beat on your chest
Hell any monkey can
But you got me feelin' like a real man
Oh feelin' like a real man
Me and my girl saturday night
Late movie on channel five
The girls were droppin' they're droppin' like flies
To some smooth talkin' cool walkin' private eye
I ain't got no nerves of steel
But all i got to know is if your love is real
To get me feelin' like a real man
Oh feelin' like a real man
Well you can beat...
I ain't no fighter that's easy to see
And as a lover i ain't goin' down in history
But when the lights go down and you pull me close
Well i look in your eyes and there's one thing i know
Baby i'll be tough enough
If i can find the guts to give you all my love
Then i'll be feelin' like a real man
Oh feelin' like a real man
Well you can beat...

4. _ Human Touch
You and me we were the pretenders
We let it all slip away
In the end what you don't surrender
Well the world just strips away
Girl, ain't no kindness in the face of strangers
Ain't gonna find no miracles here
Well you can wait on your blesses my darling
I got a deal for you right here
I ain't looking for praise or pity
I ain't coming 'round searching for a crutch
I just want someone to talk to
And a little of that human touch
Just a little of that human touch
Ain't no mercy on the streets of this town
Ain't no bread from heavenly skies
Ain't nobody drawing wine from this blood
It's just you and me tonight
Tell me, in a world without pity
Do you think what i'm askin's too much
I just want something to hold on to
And a little of that human touch
Just a little of that human touch
Oh girl that feeling of safety that you prize
Well it comes at a hard hard price
You can't shut off the risk and the pain
Without losing the love that remains
We're all riders on this train
So you've been broken and you've been hurt
Show me somebody who ain't
Yeah, i know i ain't nobody's bargain
But, hell, a little touch up and a little paint...
You might need something to hold on to
When all the answers, they don't amount to much
Somebody that you could just to talk to
And a little of that human touch
Baby, in a world without pity
Do you think what i'm askin's too much
I just want to feel you in my arms
Share a little of that human touch
Feel a little of that human touch
Give me a little of that human touch

5. _ Man's Job
Well you can go out with him
Play with all of his toys
But takin' care of you darlin'
Ain't for one of the boys
Oh there's somethin' in your soul
That he's gonna rob
And lovin' you baby lovin' you darlin'
Lovin' you woman is a man's man's job
Lovin' you's a man's job baby
Lovin' you's a man's job
Lovin' you's a man's job baby
Lovin' you's a man's job
Well now his kisses may thrill
Those other girls that he likes
But when it comes to treatin'
A real woman right
Well of all of his tricks
No they won't be enough
'cause lovin' you baby lovin' you woman
Lovin' you darlin' is a man's man's job
Lovin' you's a man's job baby
Lovin' you's a man's job
Lovin' you's a man's job baby
Lovin' you's a man's job
You're dancin' with him he's holding you tight
I'm standing here waitin' to catch your eye
Your hand's on his neck as the music sways
All my illusions slip away
Repeat riff from intro twice
Now if you're lookin' for a hero
Someone to save the day
Well darlin' my feet
They're made of clay
But i've got something in my soul
And i wanna give it up
But gettin' up the nerve
Gettin' up the nerve
Gettin' up the nerve is a man's man's job
Lovin' you's a man's job baby
Lovin' you's a man's job
Lovin' you's a man's job woman
Lovin' you's a man's job

6. _ The Long Goodbye
My soul went walkin' but i stayed here
Feel like i been workin' for a thousand years
Chippin' away at this chain of my own lies
Climbin' a wall a hundred thousand miles high
Well i woke up this morning on the other side
Yeah yeah this is the long goodbye
Hey yeah this is the long goodbye
Same old faces it's the same old town
What once was laughs is draggin' me now
Wailin' on rain hangin' on for love
Words of forgiveness from some god above
Ain't no words of mercy comin' from on high
Oh no just a long goodbye
Yeah yeah just one long goodbye
Well i went to leave twenty years ago
Since then i guess i been packin' kinda slow
Sure did like that admirin' touch
Guess i like'd it a little too much
The moon is high and here i am
Sittin' here with this hammer in hand
One more drink oughta ease the pain
Starin' at that last link in the chain
Well let's raise our glass and let this hammer fly
Hey yeah this is the long goodbye
Hey yeah this is the long goodbye

7. _ Cross My Heart
First time i crossed my heart i was beggin' baby, please
At your bedside, down on my knees
When i crossed my heart
When i crossed my heart
I crossed my heart, pretty baby over you
Second time i crossed my heart rain came in from the south
I was lyin' there with something sweet and salty in my mouth
When i crossed my heart
When i crossed my heart
When i crossed my heart, pretty darlin' over you
Well, you may think the world's black and white
And you're dirty or you're clean
You better watch out you don't slip
Through them spaces in between
Where the night gets sticky and the sky gets black
I grabbed you, baby, and you grabbed me back
And we crossed our hearts
We crossed our hearts
Yeah, i crossed my heart...
Little boys, little girls
They know their wrongs from their rights
Once you cross your heart
You ain't ever supposed to lie
Well, life ain't nothin' but a cold hard ride
I ain't leavin' 'til i'm satisfied
I cross my heart
Yeah, i cross my heart
Well, i cross my heart, pretty darlin' over you

8. _ Gloria's Eyes
I was your big man i was your prince charming
King on a white horse hey now look how far i've fallen
I tried to trick you yeah but baby you got wise
You cut me cut me right down to size
Now i'm just a fool in gloria's eyes
Swore i'd get you back i was so sure
I'd get you back like i done so many times before
A little sweet talk to cover over all of the lies
You came runnin' back but to my surprise
Well there was somethin' gone in gloria's eyes
Well in the dark when it was just me and you
I asked the question that i knew the answer to
Is that a smile my little dolly on the shelf
Tell me is that a smile
Of is it something else?
Now i work hard to prove my love is true
Now i work hard and i bring it on home to you
At night i pray as silently you lie
Some day my love again will rise
Like a shining torch in gloria's eyes
I was your big man your prince charming
King on a white horse now look how far i've fallen

9. _ With Every Wish
Ol' catfish in the lake, we called him big jim
When i was a kid, my only wish was to get my line in him
Skipped church one sunday and throw'd in my line
Jim took that hook, pole and me right over the side
Went drifting down past old tires and rusty cans of beer
The angel of the lake whispered in my ear
"before you chose your wish, son, you'd better think first
With every wish there comes a curse"
I fell in love with beautiful doreen
She was the prettiest thing this old town'd ever seen
I courted her and i made her mine
But i grew jealous whenever another man'd come walkin' down the line
And my jealousy made me treat her mean and cruel
She sighed, "bobby, oh bobby, you're such a fool
Don't you know before you chose your wish you'd better think first
With every wish there comes a curse"
These days i sit around and laugh at all the rivers i've crossed
But on the far banks there's always another forest where a man can get lost
Well there in the high trees love's bluebird glides
Guiding us 'cross another river on the other side
And there someone is waitin' with a look in her eyes
And though my heart's grown weary, and more than a little bit shy
Tonight i'll drink from her waters to quench my thirst
And leave the angels to worry
With every wish...

10. _ Real World
Mr. trouble come walkin' this way
Year gone by feels like one long day but i'm alive
And i'm feelin' all right
Well i run that hard road outta heartbreak city
Built a roadside carnival out of hurt and self-pity, it was all wrong
Well now i'm moving on
Ain't no church bells ringing
Ain't no flags unfurled
It's just me and you and the love we're bringing
Into the real world
Into the real world
I built a shrine in my heart, isn't pretty to see
Made out of fool's gold memory and tears cried
Now i'm headin' over the rise
I'm searchin' for one clear moment of love and truth
I still got a little faith but what i need is some proof tonight
I'm lookin' for it in your eyes
Ain't no church bells ringing
Ain't no flags unfurled
Just me and you and the faith we're bringing into the real world
Into the real world
Well tonight i just wanna shout
I feel my soul waist deep and sinking into this black river of doubt
I just wanna rise and walk along the riverside
And when the morning comes baby i don't wanna hide
I'll stand right at your side with my arms open wide
(killer guitar solo here)
Well tonight i just wanna shout
I feel my soul waist deep and sinking into this black river of doubt
I just wanna rise and walk along the riverside
'til the morning comes
I'll stand right by your side
I wanna find some answers i wanna ask for some help
I'm tired of running scared baby let's get our bags packed
We'll take it here to hell and heaven and back
And if love is hopeless, hopeless at best
Come on put on your party dress, it's ours tonight
And we're goin' with the tumblin' dice
Ain't no church bells ringing
Ain't no flags unfurled
It's just me and you and the hope we're bringing into the real world
Well into the real world
Oh into the real world

11. _ Roll Of The Dice
Well i've been a losin' gambler
Just throwin' snake eyes
Love ain't got me downhearted
I know up around the corner lies
My fool's paradise
In just another roll of the dice
All my elevens and sevens been comin' up
Sixes and nines
But since i fell for you baby
Been comin' on changin' times
They're just waitin' over the rise
Just another roll of the dice
I've stumbled and i know i made my mistakes
But tonight i'm gonna be playin' for all of the stakes
Well it's never too late so come on girl
The tables are waiting
You and me and lady luck well tonight
We'll be celebrating
Drinkin' champagne on ice
In just another roll of the dice
High-rollers lay down your bets and i'll raise 'em
Well i know the odds ain't in my favor
Maybe i'm just a clown throwin' down
Looking' to come up busted
I'm a thief in the house of love
And i can't be trusted
Well i'll be making my heist
In just another roll of the dice
Move on up
Come on seven
Roll me baby
In this fool's heaven

12. _ 57 Channels (and Nothin' On)
I bought a bourgeois house in the hollywood hills
With a truckload of hundred thousand dollar bills
Man came by to hook up my cable tv
We settled in for the night my baby and me
We switched 'round and 'round 'til half-past dawn
There was fifty-seven channels and nothin' on
Well now home entertainment was my baby's wish
So i hopped into town for a satellite dish
I tied it to the top of my japanese car
I came home and i pointed it out into the stars
A message came back from the great beyond
There's fifty-seven channels and nothin' on
Well we might'a made some friends with some billionaires
We might'a got all nice and friendly if we'd made it upstairs
All i got was a note that said "bye-bye john
Our love is fifty-seven channels and nothin' on"
So i bought a .44 magnum it was solid steel cast
And in the blessed name of elvis well i just let it blast
'til my tv lay in pieces there at my feet
And they busted me for disturbing the almighty peace
Judge said "what you got in your defense son?"
"fifty-seven channels and nothin' on"
I can see by your eyes friend you're just about gone
Fifty-seven channels and nothin' on...

13. _ I Wish I Were Blind
I love to see the cottonwood blossom in the early spring
I love to see the message of love that the bluebird brings
But when i see you walking with him down along the strand
I wish i were blind when i see you with your man
I love to see your hair shining in the long summer's light
I love to watch the stars fill the sky on a summer night
The music plays, you take his hand
I watch how you touch him as you start to dance
And i wish i were blind when i see you with your man
We struggle here but all our love's in vain
And these eyes that once filled me with your beauty now fill me with pain
And the light that once entered here is banished from me
And this darkness is all, baby, that my heart sees
And though the world is filled with the grace and beauty of god's hand
Oh i wish i were blind when i see you with your man

14. _ All Or Nothin' At All
Said you'd give me just a little kiss
And you'd rock me for a little while
Well you'd slip me just a piece of it
Listen up little child
I want it all or nothin' at all
I want it all or nothin' at all
Said you'd take me for a little dance
If you had a little time on your hands
Well all i do is push and shove
Just to get a little piece of your love
I want it all or nothin' at all
I want it all or nothin' at all
Well now i don't wanna be greedy
But when it comes to love there ain't no doubt
You just ain't gonna get what you want
With one foot in and one foot out
You got to give it all or nothin' at all
All or nothin' at all
Now i only got a little time
So if you're gonna change your mind
Then shout out what you're thinking of
If what you're thinkin' of is love
I want it all or nothin' at all
I want it all or nothin' at all
