1. _ Too Much To Lose
Pardon me if i'm leaving in a hurry
Can't you see
There's too much to loose for me to stay around
I've plaid your game obeyed your rules
The best that i know how
Gonna get out while the game don't get me down
It's been a long long day and now it's gone gone
I won't see you again before dawn
There's too much to loose for me to stay around
So i'll just cash in the chips and leave this town
Pardon me if i don't turn back or even say goodbye
I surely have enjoyed your cup of tea
Got no more time to gamble on a thing that ain't too sure
And the dust-cloud on the edge on town is me
If you ever feel that you should want to get in touch somehow
Forget it - that's all in yesterday.
Forgiving is to lovers as trusting is to fools
And of losing there is nothing i can say
It's been a long long day and now it's gone gone
I won't see you again before dawn
There's too much to loose for me to stay around
So i'll just cash in the chips and leave this town
It's been a long long day and now it's gone gone
I won't see you again before dawn
There's too much to loose for me to stay around
So i'll just cash in the chips and leave this town
Well i'll just cash in the chips and leave this town

2. _ Mama Said
Mama said see it through
Don't let the night put the bite on you
Take your time make your plan
Mama said son be your own best man
Mama said play it straight do what you like only do it up right
Take your time don't run wild
Mama said son you're my one man child
Mama didn't have that know-it-all-way
She lived by the book and she prayed every day
Never was a time when a rhythm or rhyme
Or the words of a song ever slipped her mind
Mama said go out there play at the game and you better play it fair
Make sure your song get sung
Mama said honey be your own big gun
Mama didn't care when i never came home
She learned how to cope with the end of the phone
Dad went away to his place in the sky
Mum said son he was a real good guy
Mama said see it through
Don't let the night put the bite on you
Take your time don't run wild
Mama said son you're my one man child
Mama didn't have that know-it-all-way
She lived by the book and she prayed every day
Never was a time when a rhythm or rhyme
Or the words of a song ever slipped her mind
Mama said see it through
Don't let the night put the bite on you
Take your time make your plan
Mama said son be your own best man
Mama said go out there play at the game and you better play it fair
Take your time don't run wild
Mama said son you're my one man child
Take your time don't run wild
Mama said son you're my one man child

3. _ If It Should Please You
If it should please you, i have come to play
A glad or a sad tune, i wrote along the way
And a few good songs about the old highway
I been around so long lord, i guess i'm here to stay
So i'm itching to please you, with a topical song
And a few golden oldies and a little hoedown
And i think i know how to make you feel
We're one and the same now, like a big flywheel
I have seen the best of all those things you can't explain
Wanderlust i did not trust but i never did complain
So if it should please you, put away those blues
Just settle on back now, i'll do my licks for you
It's my own way and that's the way it goes
You're a real good reason for a real good show
I have seen the best of all those things you don't forget
Wanderlust i did not trust and i ain't been done in yet
So if you got the dead end of the dealing shoe
This is your last chance man, we belong to you
It's my own way and that's the way i feel
We're one and the same now, like a big flywheel
So if it should please you, i have come to play
A glad or a sad tune, i wrote along the way
And a few good songs about the old highway
I been around so long lord, i guess i'm here to stay
We're one and the same now, let's take it away
We're gonna take it real easy, let's take it away

4. _ Spin, Spin
So fine, so fine the web you spin,
I come too close and i'm caught again!
In the web of wild design,
I do not know what fate is mine!
All the day sit and spin,
Spin your web and you draw me in.
Spin, spin, spin, spin!
And my daddy said when i was young,
"beware the web of love, my son,
To be in love is to be insane,
Make an old man groan, a young man pain!"
All the day, sit and spin,
Spin your web and you draw me in.
Spin, spin, spin, spin!
Then i did go and the time did fly,
Many a true love passed me by.
And then you came like a blinding storm,
I landed in your web so warm,
Spin your web and you draw me in.
Spin, spin, spin, spin!
So fine, so fine the web you spin,
I come too close and i'm caught again!
In the web of wild desire,
And i cannot control the fire!
All the day sit and spin,
You spin your web and you draw me in.

5. _ A Message To The Wind
Hold my hand, so i can hold you in my heart
Hold my hand, so i can guide you through the forest of the night
By the sea upon the raging tide
A message to the wind
I must begin to write of love and rain
Touch my heart for it is beating just for you
Hear my song, as i sing it to the lost and lonely ones
If there were time to spend another day
A message to the wind
I would begin if he could blow my thoughts to you
Hold my hand, now it is time for me to go
Take my love and let it rest
For we must meet again somehow
When you're alone and willows start to bend
And rain begins to fall
At times you will pretend and not pretend at all
I'll be with you again
A message to the wind

6. _ You'll Still Be Needing Me
If i had my way, i would say "it's over darling"
If i could be brave, i would say "i'm leaving you"
But i must stay on 'till all hope is gone
'cause girl i know
Anywhere you go
You'll still be needing me
If you feel you can't make it on your own my darling
I'll be on your side when you can't find anyone
But for now let's try just to get by
Let the tide roll out
Let the tide roll in
It's time to sink or swim
La-la-la-la-la, lala-la-la-lalalala
La-la-la-la-la, lala-la-la-lalalala
If i could be strong, i'd be gone tomorrow morning
Still i play the part making life a broken toy
But i must stay on
'till all hope is gone
'cause girl i know
Anywhere you go
You'll still be needing me
Let the tide roll out
Let the tide roll in
It's time to sink or swim
La-la-la-la-la, lala-la-la-lalalala
La-la-la-la-la, lala-la-la-lalalala

7. _ Canary Yellow Canoe
In my canary yellow canoe - my yellow canoe
I want to go tripping in my canary yellow canoe
The eastmain, coppermine, back river too
In my canary yellow canoe
In my canary yellow canoe - yellow canoe
I want to run rivers in my canary yellow canoe
The desmoines river, rupert river, george river too
In my canary yellow canoe
In my canary yellow canoe - mellow yellow canoe
I want to go tripping in my canary yellow canoe
Chebugema, peace river, resolute too
In my canary yellow canoe
In my canary yellow canoe - my elephant too
I want to go tripping in my canary yellow canoe
Churchill, yellowknife, ross river too
In my canary yellow canoe

8. _ Lifeline
I was in some timeless place;
Timeless face; my embrace
Held empty air and empty space,
All on a sunny day.
She lived by the bounding main.
To baltimore, i took a plane.
An east coast lady lit my flame
All on a sunny day.
I was in some dreamless sleep
Where angels watch as lovers leap;
Some of them landed on their feet,
Living the lifeline straight.
She was like the breath of spring
When flowers grow and robins sing,
Keeping me from the pouring rain
All on a summer's day.
There's a lifeline that i know
And it holds me back and lets me go.
Whatever i do, i don't live my lifeline straight.
So it goes as lifetimes pass,
From heart to mind and back again.
My restlessness becomes a flame,
Letting my lifeline show.
She stood by the boundless tide,
Afraid to ride, afraid to hide,
Letting her conscience be her guide,
Needing a lifeline so.
I was in some aimless state
Where lovers meet while angels wait.
With gifts of time, they hesitate
All on a sunny day.
She lived by the bounding main.
From baltimore, i took a train.
An east coast lady lit my flame
All on a summer's day.
There's a lifeline in my soul
And it holds me back and lets me go.
I'm in love, so i've been told,
Letting the lifeline stay.
I've got a heartline in the air,
And if you listen for me, you'll find me there.
Whatever i do, i don't live my lifeline straight.

9. _ Forgive Me Lord
Make my world a better place to be
Remove these chains and set me free
Give my life one reason to begin
Forgive me lord for i have sinned
Take my hand and lead me as you choose
It seems we ain't got much to lose
Give this place one season without shame
Forgive me lord i've sinned again
I been down on my luck, as a matter of fact
I've even been chaste
Drifting along, singing a song
For the whole human race
I been caught in the act, as a matter of fact
I'm even well known
Floating on by with a laugh and a sigh
On the road that leads home
I got no more time left to roam, if you love me
Take this world and build it as you please
With a little help from the likes of me
Keep it safe from harm and make it pure
Forgive the rich and save the poor
Like the dust on the wind i've been taken again by my foolish pride
Drifting along, singing a song, that's how i get by
I been caught in the act, as a matter of fact i've even been chased
Floating on by with a laugh and a sigh for the whole human race
I got no more time left to waste, if you love me
Make my world a better place to be
Remove these chains and set me free
Give my face a different point of view
Forgive us lord if we run to you
If you love me
Make my world a better place to be
Remove these chains and set me free
Give my life one reason to begin
Forgive me lord for i have sinned
Give my life one reason to begin
Forgive me lord for i have sinned

10. _ Never Say Trust Me
The sky above is filled with stars the road is long - no cars are in sight
With one hand on the wheel i've been driving all day i can drive all night
I'm headed for home with one thing on my mind yeah
Every hotel i have seen has arbor-right chairs, arbor right dreams
Office parties and wedding pals and tacky pictures on the walls
Pretty barmaid to and fro the barman plays the songs we know
She gets into 'twist and shout' and its boozing time and i'm down and out
That's my second home yeah what more can i say lord
You should never say trust me
It's already been done
It's already been done
Beneath the seas beneath the trees and under the sun
Never say trust me
My faith in you is all you need
Love is all i need
The sky above is filled with stars may god bless you is all i can say
Cats and dogs and baby smiles will drive my loneliness away
What will be will be yeah
That is all that i know girl
You should never say trust me
'cause i know you'll be there
Yes i know you'll be there
I'll be a right as rain can be
This is our love affair
Never say trust me
My faith in you is all you need
Love is all i need
You should never say trust me
It's already been done
It's already been done
Beneath the seas beneath the trees
And under the sun
And under the sun

11. _ It's Too Late, He Wins
The days may come, the days may go
Like the dreams of love that we shared so long ago
It's the time, it's the place to realize that i was wrong
It's too late, he wins and it's there that you belong
It's there you will find all the love i couldn't give
While i live in regret, for as long as i may live
The years will pass but your memory will live on
It's too late, he wins and it's there that you belong
It's there you will find all the love i couldn't give
It's there you will stay, for as long as you may live
It's the time, it's the place to realize that i was wrong
It's too late, he wins and it's there that you belong
It's too late, he wins and it's there that you belong

12. _ Station Master
In the dawn's early light from a long and sleepless night
She returned again this morning from her long and restless flight
And her red hollow eyes did not show her much surprise
As she lay right down beside me like she never said goodbye
Please help me stationmaster, is the evening train on time
The wells run dry up yonder there's another down the line
It was all i could bear just to watch her lying there
Disowned and ragged princess with the sun locked in her hair
So cold, so frail with her mind locked in a jail
A victim of confusion, never knowing she could fail
Please help me stationmaster, is the evening train on time
The wells run dry up yonder there's another down the line
So i rocked her to sleep and i got up on my feet
And the day was filled with sunshine as i gazed across the street
And the door seemed to say over here step this way
The station is for travelers even you must ride someday
Please help me stationmaster, is the evening train on time
The wells run dry up yonder there's another down the line
Please help be stationmaster, can i stay for just awhile
Forgive me if i'm weary i ain't have much - much time to smile

13. _ Why Should I Feel Blue
I saw a moonlit scene i never will forget
I stole a kiss at daybreak
I never did regret it
Sometimes i wonder why i even try
So why should i feel blue?
I heard the sound of footsteps swaying in the dark
I poked my head out silent that's how it started
What to my eyes appeared as dust became a vision i don't know
What had finally found me with my back against the wall
Was destiny intruding all around me
And as the day wore on i knew
Another lonely night could never be
If there's is a reason you might try and forget
I'd like to find it cause i like to relive it
Sometimes i wonder why i ever cry
So why should i feel blue?
I was caught drifting disappearing from the land
Whitecaps in profusion all around me
But somehow in our eyes i found the strength to sail upon the raging sea
If there's a reason for the way that life is
I'd like to find it after all who's life is it
Sometimes i wonder why i even try
So why should i feel blue?
What had finally found me with my back against the wall
Was destiny intruding all around me
And as the days wore on i knew
Another lonely night with you could never be
I saw a moonlit scene i know it was real
All that you can ever do when love is reveal
Sometimes i every try why i even try
So why should i feel blue?
Sometimes i wonder why i ever cry
So why should i feel blue?

14. _ Borderstone
The night is as black as the coal dust on the tracks
Up to the east day is dawning
From time to time i get women on my mind
I'm a son of a gun
Borderstone, borderstone gonna cross your line tonight
Borderstone, pretty little town, gonna make my bed tonight
The train that i'm on is a hundred boxcars long
So i don't sleep through to the morning
That's some chilly wind in this gondola i'm in
I wish i had a glass of beer
Borderstone, borderstone gonna cross your line tonight
Borderstone, pretty little town, gonna make my bed tonight
Borderstone, borderstone gonna cross your line tonight
Borderstone, pretty little town, gonna make my bed tonight
The boardinghouse reach is a thing no school can teach you
I confess i've been outfumbled
And the sound of the beans boiling through the evergreens
Sure do please a hungry man
Borderstone, borderstone gonna cross your line tonight
Borderstone, pretty little town, gonna make my bed tonight
Borderstone, borderstone gonna cross your line tonight
Borderstone, pretty little town, gonna make my bed tonight
The sound of the wheels rebounds across the fields
I'm a name with no number
And so i guess i'd be drifting more or less
But still it's not meant to be
Borderstone, borderstone gonna cross your line tonight
Borderstone, pretty little town, gonna make my bed tonight
Borderstone, borderstone gonna cross your line tonight
Borderstone, pretty little town, gonna make my bed tonight
Borderstone, borderstone gonna cross your line tonight
Borderstone, pretty little town, gonna make my bed tonight

15. _ Remember Me (i'm The One)
Remember me i'm the one who hurt you, dear
Hurt you, hurt you, dear.
Remember me i'm the one who loved you, dear
Loved you, loved you, dear.
I'm the one who ran away and left you all alone
I'm the one who broke your heart and scorned the love i've known.
Remember me i'm the one who's sorry now,
Sorry, sorry, now.
I'm the one who ran away and left you all alone
I'm the one who broke your heart and scorned the love i've known.
Remember me i'm the one who's sorry now,
Sorry, sorry, dear.

16. _ Heaven Don't Deserve Me
I'm not afraid that when i'm dying
There'll be no one to hold my hand
If there's a god up there he loves me
As much as my old women can
I don't intend to be a martyr
I don't give a damn what people say
And if i never get to heaven
Heaven don't deserve me anyway
I've tasted life both good and evil
At times i was cruel and did not pay
And if i never get to heaven
Heaven don't deserve me anyway
I don't know what it was i came for
But i've enjoyed it up 'till until now
If there's a friend who ever needs me
I'll do my best to help somehow
I don't intend to keep no secrets
I don't give a damn what people say
And if i never get to heaven
Heaven don't deserve me anyway
I know and i'll admit my failures
I don't give a damn what people say
And if i never get to heaven
Heaven don't deserve me anyway
And if i never get to heaven
Heaven don't deserve me anyway

17. _ Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues (sunday Concert Plus)
When you're lost in the rain in juarez and it's eastertime too,
And your gravity fails and negativity don't pull you through,
Don't put on any airs when you're down on rue morgue avenue,
They got some hungry women there and they really make a mess outa you!
Sweet melinda, the peasants call her the goddess of doom,
She speaks good english and she invites you up into her room.
And you're so kind, too careful not to go to her too soon,
Then she steals your voice and leaves you howling at the moon!
Up on housing project hill it's either fortune or fame,
You must pick one or the other though neither of them is what they claim,
If you're lookin' to get silly you'd better go back to from where you came,
Because the cops don't need you and man they expect the same!
I started out on burgundy but soon hit the harder stuff,
Everybody said they'd stand behind me when the game got rough,
But the joke was on me - there was nobody there to even call my bluff,
I'm going back to new york city i do believe i've had enough,
I'm going back to new york city i do believe i've had enough!

18. _ Keepin' On Yearning
Keepin' on smoking, lord i keep on joking
Keepin' on moving a round
Leaving everything behind until at last
I find what no one's ever found
Feeling kind of lonely on the telephone
To day i must keep moving on
Leaving everything i know i really need
And so i guess i'll move a long
It doesn't matter if the sun don't shine
It doesn't matter if the rain don't fall
I could think about you all the time
Do you ever think of me at all
Keepin' on yearnin', keepin' on learnin'
Lord i keep turning it on
Leaving everything i know i really love
And so i guess i'll move along
It doesn't matter if the sun don't shine
It doesn't matter if the rain don't fall
I know i could make you mine
You know i wouldn't mind at all
Keepin' on smokin', gotta keep on joking
Gotta keep moving around
Leaving everything behind until at last
I find what no one's ever found
It doesn't matter if the sun don't shine
It doesn't matter if the rain don't fall
I could think about you all the time
Do you ever think of me at all
Keepin' on yearnin', gotta keep on learnin'
Gotta keep turning it on
Leaving everything i know i really love
And so i guess i'll move along
It doesn't matter if the sun don't shine
It doesn't matter if the rain don't fall
I know i could make you mine
You know i wouldn't mind at all

19. _ Stone Cold Sober
If you really knew how many times i've tried to help you
Make your mind up in the matters of the heart, you'd not be bothered
By the miscues or the bad trips that seem to come and plague us
Having thought it over, i sure would like to talk to you again
I was stone cold sober, it was daylight in october
When you reached across the table put your hand upon my shoulder
And my lips were warm with kissing while we found the missing pieces
To all the empty spaces i sure would like to talk that way again
We have soared above the clouds, we've heard the angels breathing
While we made love in the morning, there was never talk of leaving
We would lie that way for hours with our arms around each other
It was all so easy, i sure would like to talk to you again
'cause i'm stone cold sober, the daylight has crossed over
In the night, a touch of sadness
We had it coming, had it going way back then
I was stone cold sober when i woke the morning after
Having shattered the illusions of the object of my passions
With a will made out of iron and a mind that is her own
Having thought it over, i sure would like to talk to her again
We had it coming, had it going way back then
I hope that we can see each other often
That our points of view will blend into each other,
Like the sea and the horizon
And the sun will shine upon us as we live our lives forever
Having thought it over, i sure would like to talk to you again

20. _ Movin' (sunday Concert Plus)
Everybody's movin', movin' across the town,
The skyline grows and the cut of the clothes,
Is enough to turn you around.
Oh, oh the future is just an hour away,
And the hearts of youth are aflame,
Everybody's movin', nothin' stays the same!
Fields are turnin', the bridges are burnin',
And the light turns night into day.
It's the time to stake it or make it or break it,
For the time flies quickly away.
Oh, oh it's the time to start makin' your mark,
And it's the time to get in the game!
Everybody's movin', nothin' stays the same!
Upwards, outwards, all around,
They're reachin' for the sky.
The ribbons of highway and roads of steel,
It's a time to be alive!
Oh, oh, ain't no ragin' river that we can't cross,
Nor giant too tall to be slain,
Everybody's movin', nothin' stays the same!

21. _ Betty Called Me In
Betty jo, you made it plain
When first you held me near.
Even though you caused me pain,
You were all the world to me.
We made love; we had such fun.
Many fine times went by us.
Now it's all so hazy
And a little bit crazy.
Betty jo, my heart's on fire;
I don't need this crying.
The next time you see me,
The back seat of a taxi's where i'll be.
Betty called me in to say goodnight,
Much to my relief and pure delight.
I think that was my big love scene
I do belive her engine run all right.
Betty said: get ready, the time has come.
I was young and the good life had begun.
And with the dawn, the child in me was gone,
But it made a man out of me that night.
Betty made my clothes and sewed my jeans,
Listened to my songs and foolish schemes.
I think the way she got to me
Was aimed like a laser beam right to the soul.
Betty, my true love, do what you do tonight.
Where she goes i hope she knows she's right.
The worst demand and the best of times,
She was never the kind to kick and bitch and fight.
Betty called me in to say goodnight,
Much to my relief and pure delight.
And with the dawn, the child in me was gone,
But it made a man out of me that night.
I think that was my big love scene
I do believe her engine run all right.

22. _ Always On The Bright Side
You are like a wish come true i'm counting on you
Through two shipwrecked eyes i come to see
Everything i had to give has been given to you
Baby that's the way it all should be
Always on the bright side
Keeps it kind of light
That girl gets friendlier each day
Love alone will keep me breathing all through the night
In that quiet place where dreams abide
You and i together are a bit of all right
Feeling good is how we whish to be
Always on the bright side
Always out of sight
Nesting like two eagles in the trees
Always on the bright side
Keeps it kind of light
That girl gets friendlier each day
Always on the bright side
Always out of sight
Nesting like two eagles in the trees
