1. _ Turn It Loose
Tom johnston
People all around me
Everywhere i go
I thought i had a grip on things
Now i just don't know
People turn their backs on me
My feet are movin' slow
I done time, i been shined
Ain't gonna fight no more
I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna try
Ain't no use to sit and cry
Turn it loose; don't hold back
Got to set your spirit free
Turn it loose; listen to me, children
It's the best kind of remedy
Turn it loose; you got the power
That's the way it's got to be
Turn it loose; get on board
It's just for people like you and me
Some friends, they hide it
Keep it deep inside
For the boy it's a struggle
Don't you know it's a lie
You got to be the real thing
It flows with the tide
You are the person
With the answer inside
I'm gonna make it
I'm gonna try
Ain't no use to hang your head and cry
Turn it loose; don't hold back
Got to set your spirit free
Turn it loose; listen to me, children
It's the best kind of remedy
Turn it loose; you got the power
That's the way it's got to be
Turn it loose; get on board
It's just for people like you and me

2. _ Rio
Patrick simmons / jeffrey baxter
When things get stale
You get on a boat and sail to rio
The beaches and the sea
That's where i long to be
In rio
But i'm workin' for the man every day up in the city
Got to get away on a boat around the corner
And it's waiting there for you and me
In rio
Dark eyed lady
Drive mercedes everywhere
In rio
She said, "do you wanna take a ride?"
So i jumped right in beside her
In rio
But i'm workin' for the man every day up in the city
Got to get away on a boat around the corner
And it's waiting there for you and me
In rio
When things get stale
You get on a boat and sail to rio
The beaches and the sea
That's where i long to be
In rio
But i'm workin' for the man every day up in the city
Got to get away on a boat around the corner
And it's waiting there for you and me
In rio

3. _ Losin' End
Michael mcdonald
There aren't enough words to say
When all i mean is i no longer love you
I'd like to leave it lie right there
For the rest ain't kind
I'm pickin' up my pride, and i'll be on my way
If you no longer need me
I only had a word or two that i care to say
Listen, baby
If you should ever find your spirit start to breaking
When your heart is aching
Remember me
I was your fool for really quite a long time
'til i found out how it feels to play
On the losing end
When you finally turn and find
No one around to catch you when you're falling
To hear you when you're calling
Oh, remember me, oh, darlin'
When you finally turn and find
No one around
To catch you when you're falling
To hear you when you're calling
From down on the losin' end
Oh, ain't it just the losin' end

4. _ Carry Me Away
Patrick simmons / jeffrey baxter / michael mcdonald
There was a place in east st. louis
It was in nineteen fifty nine
When they played they filled the streets with music
That lonely blue note music
That takes your cares away, far away
They packed the place when the band was playin'
To get some joy from a smoke filled room
Through that door you could see the bodies swayin'
The blue note band was playin'
Some lonely blue note song, all night long
Oh, it carried me away, oh, carried me away
Oh, it carried me away, oh, carried me away
No place i'd rather stay
If you should ever make it to st. louis
On some hot and lonely night
If you listen you can hear that blue note music
They fill the streets with music
It carries you away, far away
Oh, it carried me away, oh, carried me away
Oh, it carried me away, oh, carried me away
No place i'd rather stay

5. _ It Keeps You Runnin'
Michael mcdonald
Say, where you gonna go
Girl, where you gonna hide
You go on leavin' out your heart
And all it's sayin' down deep inside
From here i can feel your heartbeat
Oh, you got me all wrong
You ain't got no worry
You just been lonely too long
I know what it means to hide your heart
From a long time ago
Oh, darlin'
It keeps you runnin', yeah it keeps you runnin'
It keeps you runnin', yeah it keeps you runnin'
It keeps you runnin', yeah it keeps you runnin'
It keeps you runnin', yeah it keeps you runnin'
Oh, i know how you feel
Hey, you know i been there
But what you're keepin' to yourself
Oh, you know it just ain't fair
Are you gonna worry
For the rest of your life
Why you in such a hurry
To be lonely one more night
I know what it means to hide your heart
From a long time ago
Oh, darlin'
It keeps you runnin', yeah it keeps you runnin'
It keeps you runnin', yeah it keeps you runnin'
It keeps you runnin', yeah it keeps you runnin'
It keeps you runnin', yeah it keeps you runnin'

6. _ 8th Avenue Shuffle
Patrick simmons
Hey, hey, honey, what's on your mind
Well, you said that sleepin' with a poor band's not your style
Ain't that just a little unkind
Hey, marlon brando, what would you do in a spot like this
I don't play as your pawn tonight
Doin' the new york hustle with a hundred dollar miss
Summer night in the city
New york girls they always make you feel so fine
There's music, and i can always hear it playin'
New york nights and there's music in the streets
A doin' the eighth avenue shuffle on a friday afternoon
With the hum of a thousand engines
Singin' that old familiar tune
And now yakety yak and don't talk back
When a guy lay me down with my pontiac
Tell those high school queens of mine that the
Prom was for your monkey shine
Try 'n' a catch a cab in new york city
New york girls are oh, so pretty
Try 'n' a catch a cab in new york city
New york girls make you feel so fine
Try 'n' a catch a cab in new york city
New york girls are oh, so pretty
Try 'n' a catch a cab in new york city
Music in the streets
Another night, another town
I'm out on the road and ther's no one around
And it's rainin', yeah, it's rainin'
Silence is all around
It's cold and lonely, oh darlin', if only i could feel it
Oh, can you feel it
Eighth avenue shuffle on a friday afternoon
With the hum of a thousand engines
Singin' that old familiar tune
Hey, marlon brando, do you agree it feels so fine
Doin' the new york hustle
These girls are doin' the monkey shine
Summer night in the city
New york girls they always make you feel so fine
There's music, and i can always hear it playin'
New york nights and there's music in the streets

7. _ Wheels Of Fortune
Patrick simmons / jeffrey baxter / john hartman
Caught up in wheels of fortune while you've been asleep
Come on, give it up, you got what's comin' to you
No use for you to struggle, now you're in too deep
It's gonna be a long, long time before it's through
Changin' wheels of fortune
Drivin' us on and on
Winnin', sometimes losin'
As soon as it's here it's gone
I'm so tired of losin'
But i still play the game
And i know there's no reason
Still i go on searchin' just the same
Well, i've kicked around your city
Seen your vanity
Mister society, can you hear me
You get your satisfaction and you cover all the action
But your loaded dice won't help you in the end
Changin' wheels of fortune
Drivin' us on and on
Winnin', sometimes losin'
As soon as it's here it's gone
I'm so tired of losin'
But i still play the game
And i know there's no reason
Still i go on searchin' just the same

8. _ Takin' It To The Streets
Michael mcdonald
You don't know me but i'm your brother
I was raised here in this living hell
You don't know my kind in your world
Fairly soon the time will tell
You, telling me the things you're gonna do for me
I ain't blind and i don't like what i think i see
Takin' it to the streets
Takin' it to the streets
Takin' it to the streets
Takin' it to the streets
Take this message to my brother
You will find him everywhere
Wherever people live together
Tied in poverty's despair
You, telling me the things you're gonna do for me
I ain't blind and i don't like what i think i see
Takin' it to the streets
Takin' it to the streets
Takin' it to the streets
Takin' it to the streets

9. _ For Someone Special
Tiran porter
Well, i thought you'd be back on the track
But i guess i was wrong, man
For the look in your eyes was the same
Empty high that you'd shown
As i ran down the road i'd forgotten this load was upon you
So the band packed its bags and played on, goodbye
It's been years since i cried
But this feeling inside really hurt me
And you know that we're loyal
Through the years of hard toil we stood by
But our licks' gotten better
I thought you could weather the good times
So i guess that it's hard to leave
Bad times and downers behind
So it came down to sayin'
You haven't been playin' for so long
That our heads caked with rust
And the dust of a million sad sighs
In the mornings i've tried
To reach down inside
And push that nightmare away
Now i'm glad that it's over, it's over
Now i can play
