Closer To Home

Everybody, listen to me,
And return me, my ship.
I'm your captain, I'm your captain,
Although I'm feeling mighty sick.
I've been lost now, days uncounted,
And it's months since I've seen home.
Can you hear me, can you hear me,
Or am I all alone.
If you return me, to my home port,
I will kiss you mother earth.
Take me back now, take me back now,
To the port of my birth.
Am I in my cabin dreaming, or are you really scheming,
To take my ship away from me?
You'd better think about it, I just can't live without it.
So, please don't take my ship from me.
Yeah, yeah, yeah ...
I can feel the hand, of a stranger,
And it's tightening, around my throat.
Heaven help me, Heaven help me,
Take this stranger from my boat.

Although I'm feeling mighty sick.

Heartbreaker

Once I had a little girl
Sometimes I think about her
But you know she's not really there
When memories do call
I just, I just can't live without her
But tryin' all the time is so hard to bear
Heartbreaker, can't take her
Heartbreaker is bringing me down
Heartbreaker, can't take her
Heartbreaker, bringing me down
I don't cry no more
I live while I'm flying
But I'll think back
And you can hear me say:
Heartbreaker, can't take her
Heartbreaker, bringing me down
Heartbreaker, can't take her
Heartbreaker, bringing me down
Heartbreaker, can't take her
Heartbreaker, bringing me down
Heartbreaker, can't take her
Heartbreaker, bringing me down
Heartbreaker, can't take her
Heartbreaker, bringing me doWn
Heartbreaker, can't take her
Heartbreaker, bringing me down
Heartbreaker, can't take her
Heartbreaker, bringing me down
Heartbreaker, can't take her
Heartbreaker, bringing me down

T.n.u.c.

You won't find me, knockin' at your door
I've known forever, you don't love me no more
If you don't want to lay there, with your mouth shut tight
I'm gettin' myself together, yes I'm leavin' tonight
You ain't gonna' find nobody, to treat you like I do
I bend down on my knees, you treat me like a fool
Now I know what you're tryin' to do, awww it ain't gonna happen
'Cause I just done got hip to you, I'm a walk out laughin'

Some Kind Of Wonderful

I don't need a whole lots of money,
I don't need a big fine car.

I got more than I could ask for.

'Cause I got me a sweet ... a sweet, lovin' woman,
And she knows just how to treat me right.

She's some kind of wonderful, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahhh ...

When I hold her in my arms,
You know she sets my soul on fire.
Oooh, when my baby kisses me,
My heart becomes filled with desire.
When she wraps her lovin' arms around me,
About drives me out of my mind.
Yeah, when my baby kisses me,
Chills run up and down my spine.

My baby, she's clean out-of-sight.
Don't you know that she is ... she's some kind of wonderful.

Put here to pass by the times.

Whooo ... wheee!

You there, comin' up the stair, the feelin' is ice-blue cold.
Shake, it's more than I can take, I'm startin' to lose control.
Watch out, what's that noise, there's somebody at the door.
It must be Black Licorice, she come back to make me cry some more.

Time, ain't on my side, I'm losin' it more each day.
Licorice, licorice.

The Railroad

Up each morning at five o'clock,
Seem like the noon-day sun ain't never gonna' stop.
The work is hard in a railroad yard,
Hey, hey, gotta' make it today to punch a time card.
Workin' on the railroad.

CHORUS
Oh, you know, the railroad is a mighty good line,
Come on and ride the railroad, one more time.
Oh, you know, the railroad is a mighty good line,
Come on and ride the railroad, one more time.

Dirt and sweat, runnin' down my back,
Workin' on the railroad.
Work all day long up and down the railroad tracks.
Workin' on the railroad.
I'm a God fearing man, and with many I stand,
Workin' on the railroad.
And with God we've been working, all hand in hand.
Workin' on the railroad.

CHORUS

Oh, you know, the railroad is a mighty good line,
Workin' on the railroad.
Come on and ride the railroad, one more time.
Workin' on the railroad.
Oh, you know, the railroad is a mighty good line,
Come on and ride the railroad, one more time.

We're An American Band

On the road for forty days,
Last night in Little Rock put me in a haze.
Sweet, sweet Connie -- doin' her act,
She had the whole show and that's a natural fact.
Up all night with Freddy King,
I got to tell you poker's his thing.
A-booze 'n ladies keep me right,
As long as we can make it to the show tonight.

CHORUS
We're an American band.
We're an American band.
We're coming to your town, we'll help you party it down.
We're an American band.

Four young chaquitas in Omaha,
Was waitin' for the band to return from the show.
Feelin' good, feelin' right, it's Saturday night,
The hotel detective -- he was out-a-sight.
Now, these fine ladies, they had a plan,
They was out to meet the boys in the band.
They said, "Come on, dudes, let's get it on,"
And we proceeded to tear that hotel down.

CHORUS

We're an American Band, Ooo-ooo.

Inside Looking Out

I'm sitting here lonely like a broken man
I serve my time doin' the best I can
Walls and bars they surround me
But I don't want no sympathy
No baby, no baby, all I need is some tender lovin'
To keep me sane in this burning oven
And when my time is up
You'll be my reefer
Life gets worse on God's green earth
Be my reefer, got to keep smokin' that thing
No, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
I said now baby... baby,
Yes I'm beggin'... I'm beggin'
Makes me feel good... feel good,
Yes I feel good... ahhhhh...
Yes I feel alright... feel alright
yes I feel alright ... feel alright
Yes I feel alright... ahhhhh
Ohhhhh
Ice cold water runnin' through my veins
They try and drag me back to work again
Pain and blisters on my mind and hands
I work all day making up a... a burlap bag
The oats they're feeding me are driving me wild
I feel all happy like a new born child
Now when my time is up you wait and see
These walls and bars won't keep that stuff from me
No, no, baby, won't keep that stuff from me
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
I need you right now mama
I need you right now baby
Right by my side honey
Oh and I love
Make me feel alright
Yes I, yes I, yes I, I, I...
You better come on up and get down with me
I'll make you feel real good
Just you wait and see
Make me feel alright
Yes now I feel alright
Yes I, yes I, yes I, I...

Gimme Shelter

Oooo, oooo, oooo.
Oooo, oooo, oooo.

Oooo, a storm is threatenin', my very life today.
If I don't get some shelter, oh, I'm gonna' fade away.

CHORUS
War children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away.
War children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away.

Oooo, see the fire sweeping, up every street today.
Burns like a red-coal carpet, mad bull lost it's way.

CHORUS

Rape, murder, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away.
Rape, murder, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away.
Rape, murder, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away.

Oooo, a storm is threatenin', my very life today.
If I don't get some shelter, oh, I'm gonna' fade away.

War children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away.
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away.

I said a love sister, it's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away.
It's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away, kiss away, kiss away.

CHORUS

CHORUS

Love sister, it's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away.
Love sister, it's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away.
War children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away.
Love sister, it's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away.
War children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away.
Love sister, it's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away.
