Together we stand
Divided we fall
Come on now people let's get on the ball
Let's work together
Come on, come one, let's work together

Make someone happy
Make someone smile
Let's all work together and make life worthwhile
Let's work together
Come on, come on, let's work together
Together we will stand every boy
Every woman and man

2 or 3 minutes
2 or 3 hours
What does it matter in this life of ours
Let's work together
Come on, come on, let's work together
Together we will stand every boy
Every woman and man

When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road that you travel seems all up hill
Let's work together
Come on, come on, let's work together
Together we will stand every boy
Every woman and man

'cause together we will stand every boy
Every woman and man

Yeah together we will stand every boy
Every woman and man

Night wolves moan
Winter hills are black
I'm all alone
Sitting in the back
Of a long white cadillac

Train whistle cries
Lost on its own track
I close my eyes
Sitting in the back
Of a long white cadillac

Chorus:
Sometimes i blame it on a woman
The one that made my poor heart bleed
Sometimes i blame it on the money
Sometimes i blame it all on me

Headlights shine
Highway fades to black
It's my last ride
Sitting in the back
Of a long white cadillac

Train whistle cries
Lost on its own track
I close my eyes
I ain't never coming back
In a long white cadillac

In a long white cadillac
In a long white cadillac
In a long white cadillac
In a long white cadillac

Bye, bye, baby, i'm gonna take this white trash on down the road

(j. garcia, b. weir, p. lesh, r. hunter)

Truckin' - got my chips cashed in
Keep truckin' - like the doodah man
Together - more or less in line
Just keep truckin' on

Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on main street
Chicago, new york, detroit, it's all the same street
Your typical city involved in a typical daydream
Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings

Dallas - got a soft machine
Houston - too close to new orleans
New york - got the ways and means
But just won't let you be

Most of the cats you meet on the street speak of true love
Most of the time they're sittin' and cryin' at home
One of these days they know they gotta get goin'
Out of the door and down to the street all alone

Truckin' - like the doodah man
Once told me you got to play your hand
Sometimes - the cards ain't worth a damn
If you don't lay 'em down

Sometimes the light's all shining on me
Other times i can barely see
Lately it occurs to me
What a long strange trip it's been

Hey, what in the world ever became of sweet jane?
She lost her sparkle, you know she isn't the same
Living on reds, vitamin c and cocaine
All a friend can say is "ain't it a shame"

Truckin' - up to buffalo
Been thinkin' - you got to mellow slow
Take time - you pick a place to go
And just keep truckin' on

Sitting and staring out of a hotel window
Got a tip they're kicking the door in again
I'd like to get some sleep before i travel
But if you got a warrant i guess you're gonna come in

Busted - down on bourbon street
Set up - like a bowling pin
Knocked down - it gets to wearing thin
They just won't let you be

You're sick of hanging around and you'd like to travel
Get tired of traveling, you'd like to settle down
I guess they can't revoke your soul for trying
Get out of the door - light out and look all around

Sometimes the light's all shining on me
Other times i can barely see
Lately it occurs to me
What a long strange trip it's been

Truckin' - i'm a goin' home
Whoa - oh, baby, back where i belong
Back home - sit down and patch my bones
And get back truckin' on

(dwight yoakam)

I was just standing
Alone in this room
Surrounded by memories
We stopped making too soon
I was just standing
I was just standing
Alone in this room
Alone in this room

I was just thinking
All to myself
How i still want you
And nobody else
I was just thinking
I was just thinking
All to myself
All to myself

In this darkness i move slowly
Always struggling to be free
But i still hear your voice
And everywhere i see the choice
That's made such a fool of me

I was just wondering
If there was a way
To bring you back to me
Maybe things i could say
I was just wondering
I was just wondering
If there was a way

(m. james)

Caught in a trap
Can't get out
Because i love you too much baby
Why can't you see
What you're doin' to me
When you don't believe a word i say

We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
We cannot build our dreams
On suspicious minds

Well, there's an old friend i know
Stopped by to say hello
Well, i still see suspicious in your eyes
Here you go again
Asking where i've been
Can't you see these tears are real i'm crying

We can't go on together
With suspicious minds
We cannot build our dreams
On suspicious minds

Oh, let our love survive
I'll dry these tears from your eyes
Let's don't let a good thing die
Baby, you know, i'd never lie to you
No, never lie to you
Yeah, yeah

Caught in a trap
I can't walk out
Because i love you too much baby
Why can't you see
What you're doin' to me
When you don't believe a word i'm saying

Caught in a trap
Can't walk out
Because i love you too much baby

Caught in a trap
Can't walk out
Because i love you too much baby

We're caught in a trap
We can't walk out
Because i love you too much baby

(bert berns)

I can see her right out my window
Walkin' on the street, my girl with another guy
His arms around her like it used to be with me
Hey man, it makes me want to die

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Here it comes
Here comes the night
Here comes the night
Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah

There they go it's funny how they look so good together
Wonder what is wrong with me
Why can't i accept the fact that she's chosen him
And simply let them be

Whoa, whoa, whoa

Here it comes
Here comes the night
Here comes the night
Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah

Oh, she's with him, he's turning out the lights
And now he's holding her the way i used to do
I can see her closing her eyes and telling the lies
Exactly like she told me too

Whoa, whoa, whoa

Here it comes
Here comes the night
Here comes the night
Whoa, whoa, whoa, yeah

Here it comes
Here comes the night
Here it comes
Here comes the night
Here it comes
Here comes the night
Here it comes
Oh, here comes the night
