Make It

Lyrics

Good evening people, welcome to the show
Got somethin' here I want you all to know
When laughin' people bring on primal screams
You got to think of
What it's gonna take to make your dreams

Make It
Don't break it
I said Make It
Don't Brake it
Do then you feel like the world's coming down on you

You know that history repeats itself
But you just learned so by somebody else
You know you do, you gotta think up fast
You gotta figure what it's gonna take to make it last
Make It
Don't brake it
I said Make It
Don't brake it
Then you do

Better weather, pull yourself together
Don't be catchin' the blues
Better weather, pull yourself together
What have you got to lose
You're only paying your dues
Too stinkin' proud but you're gonna pay
If you're gone I'll get you anyway
Although you know what you've been going through
Your only dreams feel like a tattoo

Make It
Don't brake it
I said Make It
Don't brake it
Then you do

Better weather, pull yourself together
Don't be catchin' the blues
Better weather, pull yourself together
What have you got to lose

Somebody

Lyrics

I need a lady, not somebody shady
Need someone to be close to
Somebody cozy, not somebody nosy
Help me see my whole day through
Someone to share the load
Somebody to walk the road i live on... Live!
Good lord send me, good lord mend me
Send me down someone for me
Said i won't be choosy, you could send me a floozy
Send me anybody you please
Somebody say you will
Somebody further still
Somebody, some-somebody for me
Now won't you send me somebody
Yeah, somebody
Won't you send me somebody
Now won't you send me somebody
Well, call for somebody, scream loud and bloody
Call woman, woman, come on to me
Save for tomorrow, share all your sorrow
Misery enjoys company (yes it does, yes it does)

Dream On

Lyrics

Every time I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face getting clearer
The past is gone
It went by, like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay

Yeah, I know nobody knows
where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know how to win

Half my life's
in books' written pages
Lived and learned from fools and
from sages
You know it's true
All the things come back to you

Sing with me, sing for the year
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing with me just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good lord will take you away

Yeah, sing with me, sing for the year
sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
sing with me, just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away

Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream until your dream comes true
Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream until your dream comes through
Dream On Dream On Dream On
Dream On Dream On
Dream On Dream On, AHHHHHHH

Sing with me, sing for the year
sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
sing with me just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away
Sing with me, sing for the year
sing for the laughter, sing for the tear
Sing with me just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good Lord will take you away......

One Way Street

Lyrics

Hey look yonder
What's that I see
Well that old bogus, honey
Comin' after me

I thought you told her
I was out of town
I wonder how she knowed
I was hangin' around

Say, listen babe
Don't go wastin' your time
You keep comin' 'round
You'll hear the same old line

You got a thousand boys
You say you need 'em
You take what's good for you
And I'll take my freedom

'Cause lately it's been so hard
to make ends meet oh yes it has
And honey, yo hey it's a
One Way Street
And I'm going the other way
(heh, heh, heh)

I thought I knew her
My cagey lady
How could my sunshine
be so damn shady
She'll say she love to talk
A conversation
But I'm the one
Who makes my situation

This one way city mmm
and I thought I knew
It's such a pity, honey
I'm dancing for you
Because lately it's been so hard
to make ends meet yea hey hey
And honey, yeow hey it's a
One Way Street yeh
Ah but I'm going the other way

( you know what I'm talking about baby )
( I've seen that little butterfly tattoo'd on your pants )
( I'm gonna get me some of that yehaha )

There's nothing over here
I never showed you
I made it pretty clear
I'm glad to know you

You know your brother Spike
He's on the level
But you always lookin'
Like you're mad at the devil

Don't say I copped a 'tude
It's all forgotten
It's just you're much too rude
Your fruits are rotten

You know I work so hard to keep it alive
Now all I hear from you
Is nothing but jive

Lately it's been so hard
Now to make ends meet
And honey, yeow hey it's a
One Way Street
And I'm goin' on the other way
Yes I do!

And lately it's been so hard
To make ends meet
And honey, you're headin' down a
One Way Street
And I really do feel
That I got to be movin' on

You're headin' down a one way street
You're foolin' everybody you meet
I said, you're headin' down a one way street
You're foolin' everybody but me
I said, you're headin' down a one way street
You're foolin' everybody you meet
I said, you're headin' down a one way street
You're foolin' everybody but me...
You got to get yourself back on your feet

Mama Kin

Lyrics

It ain't easy
Livin' like a gypsy
Tell ya honey how I feel
I've been dreamin'
Floatin' down the stream n'
Losin' touch with all that's real

Whole earth lover
Keepin' under cover
Never know where ya been
You've been fadin'
Always out paradin'
Keep in touch with Mama Kin

Well you've always got your tail on the wag
Shootin' fire from your mouth
Just like a dragon

You act like a perpertual drag
You better check it out
'Cause someday soon you'll have to
Climb back on the wagon

It ain't easy
Livin' like you wanna
It's so hard to find peace of mind
Yes it is
The way I see it
You gotta say shit
But don't forget to drop me a line

Said, you're bald as an egg when you're eighteen
Workin' for your dad is just a drag
You still stuff your mouth with your dreams
You better check it out
'Cause someday soon you'll have to
Climb back on the wagon

Keep in touch with Mama Kin
Tell her where you've gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea

(Short Guitar & Harmonica Solo)

It ain't easy
Livin' like you wanna
It's so hard to find peace of mind
Yes it is
The way I see it
You gotta say shit
But don't forget to drop me a line

Said you're bald as an egg at eighteen
Workin' for your dad is just a drag
You still stuff your mouth with your dreams
You better check it out
'Cause someday soon you'll have to
Climb back on the wagon

Keep in touch with Mama Kin
Tell her where you've gone and been
Livin' out your fantasy
Sleepin' late and smokin' tea

Write Me a Letter

Lyrics

Write Me A Letter
Write Me A Letter
Write it today
I'm goin' away

Write Me A Letter
Write Me A Letter
Write it today
I'm goin' away (yes it is)

Well I've been away forever
Suicide's crossin' my mind
Well I'll never, never, never, never, never
Get so far behind
I said, the ways of the night are evil
Without that Lord of Day
But I'll never, never, never, never, never
get so far away

I said write me
Write me
Write me
I said write me
Write me
Write me

Well there's nothin' I can see
That'd ever make me
Want to be without her
She's good, she good to me
Said there's no way to explain
The kind of feelin' that you get out in the way
She good, she good to me
She good, she good to me
See this emptyness inside will make me scream
Make gonna know how
She good, she good to me

I love her

Write Me A Letter
Write Me A Letter
Write it today
I'm goin' away

Well I've been away forever
Suicide's crossin' my mind
Well I'll never, never, never, never, never
get so far behind

Well I've been so many places
Hidin' from the wind and the rain
But you could write me a letter
For to save me from goin' insane

I said write me
Write me
Write me
A letter (what's inside?)
Write me
Write me
Write me baby!!

Movin' Out

Lyrics

We all live on the edge of town
Where we all live ain't a soul around
People start a-comin'
All we do is just a-grin
Said we gotta move out
'Cause the city's movin' in
I said we gotta move out
'Cause the city's movin' in

Tell me who you know
And I'll tell you who, too
Go see my friend and he'll set you free
Tell me what you see and
Mabye I can go too
No one knows the way but maybe me

Nobody goes there
Nobody shows where
Nobody knows where you can find me, yeah

Good mornin' glory, Hallelujah to ya
What is the story, what's been goin' through ya
Livin' like a king off the fat of the land
Workin' like a dog in a rock n' roll band

We're movin', we're gettin' out
We're movin', without a doubt
We're movin', we're goin' far
We're movin', oh yes we are

Nobody goes there
Nobody shows where
Nobody goes where you can find me
Nobody knows there
Nobody shows where
Nobody goes where you can find me, ah
Oh, Lordy, Lordy, Lordy...

Level with God
And you're in tune with the universe
Talk with yourself
And you'll hear what you wanna know
Gotta rise above
'Cause below it's only gettin' worse
Life in time
Will take you where you wanna go

Where you wanna go, where you wanna go
Where you goin'...

Good mornin' glory, Hallelujah to ya
What is the story, what's been goin' through ya
Livin' like a king off the fat of the land
Workin' like a dog in a rock n' roll band

We're movin', we're gettin' out
We're movin', without a doubt
We're movin', we're goin' far
We're movin', oh yes we are

Nobody knows there
Nobody shows where
Nobody goes where you can find me
Nobody knows there
Nobody shows where
Nobody goes where you can't find me
Round n' round...

We all live on the edge of town
Where we all live ain't a soul around
People start a-comin'
All we do is just a-grin
We gotta move out
'Cause the city's movin' in
I said we gotta move out
'Cause the city's movin' in

Yes we do....

Walkin' the Dog

Lyrics

Mary Mac, all dressed in black
Silver buttons up and down her back
I know, 'cause I love her so
She broke a needle now she can't sew

Walkin' the dog
I'm just a-walkin' your dog
Well if you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog

Ask my mama for fifteen cent
To see the elephant jump the fence
It jumped so high, it touched the sky
Didn't come back till the fourth of July

Walkin' the dog
I'm just a-walkin' your dog
Well if you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk your dog

Mary Mary, quite contrary
How does your garden grow
Well well, silver bells and little bitty bitty white shells
Pretty maids all in a row

Walkin' the dog
I'm just a-walkin' your dog
Well if you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog
Well if you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog
