Everybody's Here

I’m not one to make a speech
I just want to learn what they did not teach
Dream a dream just beyond our reach
We’re still young
We’re still young
Take these steps to higher ground
Rediscover all the things you found
I will know you by the way you sound
When you come
And when you come
Then everybody’s here
Everybody’s here
Listen to yourself at any cost
Know who you are and you will never get lost
Be thankful for every bridge you crossed
Along the road
Along the road
Now that everybody’s here
Thank God that everybody’s here
For awhile
At least for awhile
Everybody’s here
Listen to yourself at any cost
Know who you are and you will never get lost
Be thankful for every bridge you crossed
Along the road
Along the road
Now that everybody’s here
Thank God that everybody’s here
For awhile
At least for awhile
Everybody’s here

I won’t rest in this easy tide
Free can be the most expensive ride
I’m going to turn this ship around
And step out onto solid ground
For I shall drift along this river no more
Where the water turns white
I will push and I will fight
I will row this boat with all my might
Long after day turns into night
And I shall drift along this river no more
Follow me home, little girl
Follow me home
I’ll take you back upstream
Where we can be alone
I shall drift
I shall drift
I shall drift along this river no more
Follow me home, little girl
Follow me home
I’ll take you back upstream
Where we can be alone
Against the currents, against the wind
I may never get to sleep again
But I shall drift along this river no more
I shall drift (I shall drift)
I shall drift (I shall drift)
I shall drift along this river no more
If I’ve got to row the boat with my hands
I’m gonna take you to the Promised Land
And I shall drift along this river no more
I shall drift along this river no more

Light a candle as you come into the room
For to see her when she comes
All my natural reactions are in bloom
For to see her when she comes
For to see her when she comes
For to see her when she comes
Everything I have at the drop of a hat
For to see her when she comes
I walked my bride through a wildflower field
We had the seasons on the run
A hole opened in a cloudy sky
You looked so pretty in the sun
For to see her when she comes
For to see her when she comes
Nothing in this world I wouldn’t give for that
For to see her when she comes
For to see her when she comes
For to see her when she comes
Everything I have at the drop of a hat
Nothing in this world I wouldn’t give for that
One million dollars in one second flat
For to see her when she comes
For to see her when she comes

Funny Papers
03:53
|
|

Take your knees out of your hands and pass the funny papers
And treat the sidewalk to your feet
Mama go outside and bring the key to the plastic cages
There's someone else I have to greet
Take your favorite things and head down to the fallout shelter
you might like it better than the street
Get yourself underground that's where we'll meet
Summertime is lovely but I'll meet you in the Fall
Jealousy is madness but it happens to us all
You state your business and then put your hands in your lonely pocket
I don't say anything at all
We counteract the silence with the scratchy hum of electric sockets
And turn the lights on in the hall
Get yourself underground and don't you stall
Summertime is lovely but I'll meet you in the Fall
Jealousy is madness but it happens to us all
Summertime is lovely but I'll meet you in the Fall
Give me hope or at least tell me that you've got some whiskey
I might take a bribe if we were alone
You cross the desert of uncertain thoughts to a dirty answer
And pull a diamond from the stone
Get yourself underground I won't be long
Summertime is lovely but I'll meet you in the Fall
Jealousy is madness but it happens to us all
Summertime is lovely but I'll meet you in the Fall
Jealousy is madness but it happens to us all

Got To See You Tonight

I've got to see you
I've got to see you tonight
You with the pirates in your eyes
My love has never been this size
I'm the Procrastination Prince
But I haven't been that way ever since
You disassembled my disguise
I've got to see you
I've got to see you tonight
You with the drawbridge and the fence
Please don't deny me an audience
You with the diamonds in your mouth
I'm on a freeway heading south
Under a sunset of your hair
To make me wait would be unfair
I'm starting to think you don’t care
And that just doesn't make any sense
I've got to see you
I've got to see you tonight
I’m not going home
You’re deep in my bones
I sink like a sparrow
And fly like a stone
But I’ve got to see you tonight
I’ve got to touch your face
Stand in your space
I’ve got to get there before
Someone takes my place
I’ve got to see you tonight

Dark Horse
03:39

Comin’ down from an all-night drive
I had to stop in and take care of the wife
When I’m gone she says she feels a little deprived
So tonight we got to make it last
Then I gotta get to Dallas by tomorrow night
So I can make Jackson ‘fore the morning light
By the time I hit Atlanta I’m a hell of a sight
Bet I’ll make it home to you twice as fast
Betting on the Dark Horse
Couldn’t get much worse
So get this engine out of reverse
It’s only in our minds
Shaking off a bad curse
This time I’m going to come in first
So put your money on the dark horse
And honey, you’ll do fine
Louisiana coffee at an all-night diner
On I-85 into South Carolina
So far away I might as well be in China
But at least I’m back in the South
There’s a thunder cloud rising in my rearview mirror
But up ahead things look a little bit clearer
To put the pedal down you gotta put her in gear
So put you money where you put your mouth
Betting on the Dark Horse
Couldn’t get much worse
Get this engine out of reverse
It’s only in our minds
Shaking off a bad curse
This time I’m going to come in first
So put your money on the dark horse
And honey, you’ll do fine
Out in the middle of nowhere
Honey let’s pack up and go there as soon
As soon as I get back home
Betting on the Dark Horse
Couldn’t get much worse
Get this engine out of reverse
It’s only in our minds
Shaking off a bad curse
This time I’m going to come in first
So put your money on the dark horse
And honey, you’ll do fine

Mississippi Women
03:27
|
|
||

Well it’s a Saturday night on George Street at the Grocery
And you come in in a tight dress like we wouldn’t notice
Are you trying to blow the mind of every man in Jackson?
I’d be walking towards you now
If my shoes could find the traction
Must be something in the water
I can’t seem to put my hands on
But I’ll let you play Delilah to my Samson
We may never ignite, but that never was the goal
And these Mississippi women are shaking up my soul
We drove to Vicksburg in the morning
Crossed the Yazoo to the Delta
Followed Highway 61 up through Onward into Cleveland
Took the crossroads out of Clarksdale out to Stovall Farms
And there was cotton in the fields
Where Muddy Waters was a boy
There’s whiskey in the glass and weevils in the boll
And these Mississippi women are shaking up my soul
Mississippi women
Mississippi women
I heard the preacher on the radio with gravel in his throat
He told the congregation that only certain angels float
You’ve got to keep your wits about you
Or you’ll fall under the spell
Of a sweet and innocent modern day Jezebel
If you can climb the highest mountains
You can dig out of this hole
But these Mississippi women keep shaking up my soul
Mississippi women
Mississippi women
Lord I know about Mississippi women
They’re just like Tupelo honey

Somewhere America
03:44

Sometimes people change
You can’t do anything at all
Just when you think everything’s in place
Something’s bound to fall
She seemed like she loved me
Nothing struck me as weird
One day she was right here beside me
The next day she disappeared
She’s gone to Somewhere, America
For how long I don’t know
I got a phone call from Somewhere, America
She said she called just to say hello
She didn’t say she missed me
She didn’t say where she was
But she did say she needed some money
That’s the kind of thing she does
She’s gone to Somewhere, America
I don’t know for how long
She’s gone to Somewhere, America
I didn’t know anything was wrong
She’s gone to Somewhere, America
She says it's over and I believe her
She says she's never coming back
I swear next week I was going to leave her
But now...now I want her back
Sometimes people change
You find out what you love when it's gone
I've got to put everything in place
And bring my baby home
I'm going to Somewhere, America
This can't be done on the phone
I'm going to Somewhere, America
I didn’t know I could feel so alone
I'm going to Somewhere, America
I don’t know for how long
'Cause she’s gone to Somewhere, America
I didn’t know anything was wrong
I didn’t know anything was wrong
I didn’t know anything was wrong

Heavenly Days
03:57

Heavenly days they have come undone
Gone with the light
Gone with the sun
Bet my last dollar right before the starting gun
Horse should’ve come in at 50-to-1
I could’ve been wrong in the past
Wasn’t thinking
Years gone by way too fast
Too much drinkin’
I’m sinking
Heavenly days they have gone asunder
Now we have lightning
Now we have thunder
Little Walter records on the stereo
What do I do now?
Mama, I don’t know
Solo
Then I looked up to the sky
My whole life had passed me by
Had to choose to live or die
I bet the dark horse
In just the nick of time
Heavenly days they are in front of me
Know who I am
Know who I want to be
I think I owe you an apology
The things that I said, honey
I didn’t really mean
So let it be known
I’m not going to bet on the weather
I’m just going to show you
That I can do better
Heavenly days they are in front of me

The Seasons
03:25
|
|

I spread my dreams beneath your feet
At last I fall asleep on the concrete floor
Rolling through the green hills of Caroline
In the middle of old New York
And the seas will part between us
The lovers and the dreamers
And the visions of the seasons will be ours
I believe in the music between the sounds
And the silver notes of the moon
When all the voices of those we love are far away
Let me stay with you for one more night
And the seas will part between us
The lovers and the dreamers
And the visions of the seasons will be ours
I can hear it in the violence
See it in your shyness
I can feel it in the silence of love
Let the soldiers come between us
We’re lovers and we’re dreamers
And the visions of the season will be ours
