Well, I just got into town about an hour ago Took a look around, see which way the wind blow Where the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows Are you a lucky little lady in the city of light Or just another lost angel, city of night City of night, city of night, city of night, woo, come on
L.A. woman, L.A. woman L.A. woman Sunday afternoon L.A. woman Sunday afternoon L.A. woman Sunday afternoon Drive through your suburbs Into your blues, into your blues, yeah Into your blue-blue blues Into your blues, oh, yeah
I see your hair is burnin' Hills are filled with fire If they say I never loved you You know they are a liar Drivin' down your freeways Midnight alleys roam Cops in cars, the topless bars Never saw a woman So alone, so alone So alone, so alone
Motel money murder madness Let's change the mood from glad to sadness
Well, I just got into town about an hour ago Took a look around, see which way the wind blow Where the little girls in their Hollywood bungalows Are you a lucky little lady in the city of light Or just another lost angel, city of night City of night, city of night, city of night, whoa, come on
L.A. woman, L.A. woman L.A. woman, you're my woman Little L.A. woman, little L.A. woman L.A. L.A. woman woman L.A. woman, come on

'Cause, baby, there ain't no mountain high enough Ain't no valley low enough Ain't no river wide enough To keep me from getting to you, babe

'Cause, baby, there ain't no mountain high enough Ain't no valley low enough Ain't no river wide enough To keep me from getting to you, babe
Oh no, darling No wind, no rain Or winter's cold can stop me, baby, na na, baby 'Cause you are my goal If you're ever in trouble I'll be there on the double Just send for me, oh, baby, ha
My love is alive (woo) Way down in my heart Although we are miles apart If you ever need a helping hand I'll be there on the double Just as fast as I can Don't you know that there
Ain't no mountain high enough Ain't no valley low enough Ain't no river wide enough To keep me from getting to you, babe
Don'tcha know that there Ain't no mountain high enough Ain't no valley low enough Ain't no river wide enough Ain't no mountain high enough Ain't no valley low enough
We've had some fun, and yes we've had our ups and downs
Been down that rocky road, but here we are, still around
We thought about someone else, but neither one took the bait
We thought about breaking up, now we know it's much too late
We are bound by all the rest
Like the same phone number
All the same friends
And the same address
I am happy to be stuck with you
(Ooh) Yes, it's true (yes, it's true)
I'm so happy to be stuck with you
(Ooh) 'Cause I can see (I can see)
That you're happy to be stuck with me
We've had our doubts
We never took them seriously
And we've had our ins and outs (ooh, wa-ooh)
But that's the way it's supposed to be
We thought about giving up (giving up)
But we could never stay away
(Ooh, wa-ooh) We thought about breaking up
But now we know it's much too late
And it's no great mystery (ooh)
If we change our minds
Eventually, it's back to you and me
I am happy to be stuck with you
(Ooh) Yes, it's true (yes, it's true)
I'm so happy to be stuck with you
(Ooh) 'Cause I can see (I can see)
That you're happy to be stuck with me
We are bound by all the rest (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Like the same phone number
All the same friends
And the same address
I am happy to be stuck with you
(Ooh) Yes, it's true (yes, it's true)
I'm so happy to be stuck with you
(Ooh) 'Cause I can see (I can see)
That you're happy to be stuck with me
I'm so happy to be stuck with you
(Ooh, wa-ooh) I'm happy to be stuck with you
(Ooh, wa-ooh) Happy to be stuck with you
(Ooh, yes, it's true)
I'm not in love So don't forget it It's just a silly phase I'm going through And just because I call you up Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made I'm not in love, no no, it's because..
I like to see you But then again That doesn't mean you mean that much to me So if I call you Don't make a fuss Don't tell your friends about the two of us I'm not in love, no no, it's because..
I keep your picture Upon the wall It hides a nasty stain that's lying there So don't you ask me To give it back I know you know it doesn't mean that much to me I'm not in love, no no, it's because..
(Be quiet, big boys don't cry) (Big boys don't cry) (Big boys don't cry) (Big boys don't cry) (Big boys don't cry) (Big boys don't cry) (Big boys don't cry) (Big boys don't cry) (Big boys don't cry) (Big boys don't cry)
Ooh you'll wait a long time for me Ooh you'll wait a long time Ooh you'll wait a long time for me Ooh you'll wait a long time
I'm not in love So don't forget it It's just a silly phase I'm going through And just because I call you up Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made I'm not in love I'm not in love
Can't stay at home, can't stay in school
Old folks say, "You poor little fool"

Every night i'm lyin' in bed Holdin' you close in my dreams Thinkin' about all the things that we said Comin' apart at the seams
We try to talk it over But the words come out too rough I know you were tryin' to give me the best of your love
Beautiful faces and loud empty places
Look at the way that we live
Wastin' our time on cheap talk and wine
Left us so little to give
That same old crowd was like a cold dark cloud That we could never rise above But here in my heart I give you the best of my love
Oh... whoa oh sweet darlin' You get the best of my love (You get the best of my love) Oh... whoa oh sweet darlin' You get the best of my love (You get the best of my love)
I'm goin' back in time and it's a sweet dream It was a quiet night and I would be all right If I could go on sleeping But every mornin' I wake up and worry What's gonna happen today? You see it your way I see it mine But we both see it slippin' away
You know we always had each other baby (Ooh...) I guess that wasn't enough oh-oh ooh whoa But here in my heart I give you the best of my love Oh... whoa oh sweet darlin' You get the best of my love (The best of my love) Oh... whoa oh sweet darlin' You get the best of my love (The best of my love) Oh... whoa oh sweet darlin' Every night and day You get the best of my love (The best of my love) Oh... whoa oh sweet darlin' Oh-oh oh-oh You get the best of my love (The best of my love) Oh... whoa oh sweet darlin' You get the best of my love (You get the best of my love) The best of my love Oh... whoa oh sweet darlin' Mmm-mmm mmm-mmm-mmm You get the best of my love (The best of my love) Oh... whoa oh sweet darlin' You got it You got it
Now the seats are all empty
Let the roadies take the stage
Pack it up and tear it down
They're the first to come and the last to leave
Working for that minimum wage
They'll set it up in another town
Tonight the people were so fine
They waited there in line
And when they got up on their feet they made the show
And that was sweet
But I can hear the sound
Of slamming doors and folding chairs
And that's a sound they'll never know
Now roll them cases out and lift them amps
And haul them trusses down and get 'em up them ramps
'Cause when it comes to moving me
You know you guys are the champs
But when that last guitar's been packed away
You know that I still wanna play
So just make sure you got it all set to go
Before you come for my piano
But the band's on the bus
And they're ready to go
We gotta drive all night and do the show in Chicago
Or Detroit, I don't know
We do so many shows in a row
And these towns all look the same
We just pass the time in the hotel rooms
And wander 'round backstage
'Til those lights come up and we hear that crowd
And we remember why we came
Now we got country and western on the bus, R 'n' B
We got disco and eight tracks and cassettes in stereo
And we got rural scenes and magazines
And we got truckers on C.B.
And we got Richard Pryor on the video
We got time to think of the ones we love
While the miles roll away
But the only time that seems too short
Is the time that we get to play
People you've got the power over what we do
You can sit there and wait
Or you can pull us through
Come along, sing this song
You know that you can't go wrong
'Cause when that morning sun comes beating down
You're gonna wake up in your town
But we'll be scheduled to appear
A thousand miles away from here
Written by Maurice Williams
People stay just a little bit longer We want to play, just a little bit longer
Now the promoter don't mind And the union don't mind If we take a little time And we leave it all behind and sing One more song
Oh won't you stay just a little bit longer Please, please, please say you will Say you will
Oh won't you stay just a little bit longer Oh please, please stay just a little bit more
Now the promoter don't mind And the roadies don't mind If we take a little time And we leave this all behind and sing One more song
Busted flat in Baton Rouge, waitin' for a train When I's feelin' near as faded as my jeans Bobby thumbed a diesel down just before it rained And rode us all the way into New Orleans
I pulled my harpoon out of my dirty red bandana I's playin' soft while Bobby sang the blues Windshield wipers slappin' time I's holdin' Bobby's hand in mine We sang every song that driver knew
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose Nothin', it ain't nothin' honey, if it ain't free And feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues You know feelin' good was good enough for me Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee
From the Kentucky coal mines to the California sun Yeah, Bobby shared the secrets of my soul Through all kinds of weather, through everything we done Yeah, Bobby baby kept me from the cold
One day up near Salinas, Lord, I let him slip away He's lookin' for that home and I hope he finds it Well, I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday To be holdin' Bobby's body next to mine
Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose Nothin', and that's all that Bobby left me Well, feelin' good was easy, Lord, when he sang the blues And feelin' good was good enough for me Good enough for me and my Bobby McGee, yeah
La da da, la da daa, la da daa da daa da daa La da da da daa dadada Bobby McGee-ah La li daa da daa daa, la da daa da daa La la laa la daada Bobby McGee-ah yeah La di da, ladida la dida la di daa, ladida la dida la di daa
Hey now Bobby now now Bobby McGee yeah Lo lo lo lolo lo lo laa, lololo lo lolo lo lolo lo lolo lo la laa Hey now Bobby now now Bobby McGee yeah Lord, I called him my lover, I called him my man I said I called him my lover, did the best I can C'mon, hey now Bobby now, hey now Bobby McGee, yeah Lo lo Lord, a Lord, a Lord, a Lord, a Lord, a Lord, a Lord, oh Hey, hey, hey, Bobby McGee, Lord
I believe the children are our future Teach them well and let them lead the way Show them all the beauty they possess inside Give them a sense of pride to make it easier Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
Everybody searching for a hero People need someone to look up to I never found anyone who fulfill my needs A lonely place to be And so I learned to depend on me
I decided long ago Never to walk in anyone's shadows If I fail, if I succeed At least I'll live as I believe No matter what they take from me They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all Is happening to me I found the greatest love of all Inside of me The greatest love of all Is easy to achieve Learning to love yourself It is the greatest love of all
I believe the children are our future Teach them well and let them lead the way Show them all the beauty they possess inside Give them a sense of pride to make it easier Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be
I decided long ago Never to walk in anyone's shadows If I fail, if I succeed At least I'll live as I believe No matter what they take from me They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all Is happening to me I found the greatest love of all Inside of me
The greatest love of all Is easy to achieve Learning to love yourself Is the greatest love of all
And if, by chance, that special place That you've been dreaming of Leads you to a lonely place Find your strength in love
Aw, Cracklin' Rosie, get on board We're gonna ride 'Till there ain't no more to go Taking it slow And Lord, don't you know We'll have me a time with a poor man's lady
Hitchin' on a twilight train Ain't nothing here that I care to take along Maybe a song To sing when I want No need to say please to no man For a happy tune
Oh, I love my Rosie child You got the way to make me happy You and me we go in style
Cracklin' Rose You're a store bought woman But you make me sing like a guitar hummin' So hang on to me, girl Our song keeps runnin' on Play it now, play it now Play it now, my baby
Cracklin' Rosie, make me a smile Girl, if it lasts for an hour, that's all right Cus We got all night to set the world right Find us a dream that don't ask no questions Yeah

If I live to be a hundred
And never see the seven wonders
That'll be alright
If I don't make it to the big leagues
If I never win a Grammy
I'm gonna be just fine
'Cause I know exactly who I am
I am Rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done
My momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends that love me
And they know just where I stand
It's all a part of me
And that's who I am
So when I make a big mistake
And when I fall flat on my face
I know I'll be alright
Should my tender heart be broken
I will cry those teardrops knowing
I will be just fine
'Cause nothing changes who I am
I am Rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done
My momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends that love me
And they know just where I stand
It's all a part of me
And that's who I am
I'm a saint
And I'm a sinner
I'm a loser
I'm a winner
I am steady and unstable
I'm young
But I am able
I am Rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done
My momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends that love me
And they know just where I stand
It's all a part of me
And that's who I am
I am Rosemary's granddaughter
The spitting image of my father
And when the day is done
My momma's still my biggest fan
Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy
But I've got friends that love me
And they know just where I stand
It's all a part of me
And that's who I am
Lord, I hope this day is good
I'm feelin' empty and misunderstood
I should be thankful, Lord, I know I should
But Lord, I hope this day is good
Lord, have You forgotten me?
I've been prayin' to You faithfully
I'm not sayin' I'm a righteous man
But Lord, I hope You understand
I don't need fortune and I don't need fame
Send down the thunder, Lord, send down the rain
But when You're plannin' just how it will be
Plan a good day for me
Lord, I hope this day is good
I'm feelin' empty and misunderstood
I should be thankful, Lord, I know I should
But Lord, I hope this day is good
You've been the King since the dawn of time
All that I'm asking is a little less crime
It might be hard for the devil to do
But it would be easy for You
Lord, I hope this day is good
I'm feelin' empty and misunderstood
I should be thankful, Lord, I know I should
But Lord, I hope this day is good
Sittin' in restaurant she walked by I seem to recall that certain look in your eye I said who is that You said with a smile Oh it's nobody, oh nobody
Well maybe that explains the last two weeks You called me up, dead on your feet Working late again I ask who with, you said nobody, oh nobody
Well your nobody called today She hung up when I asked her name Well I wonder does she think she's being clever You say nobody's after you The fact is what you say is true But I can love you like nobody can, even better
Late last night we went for a drive you were miles away I ask who's on your mind, you said nobody Why do you ask Oh her again, I could've told you that
We came back home got ready for bed I said to myself, I've got one shot left You're still mine and I won't stand in line behind nobody, nobody
Well your nobody called today She hung up when I asked her name, well I wonder Does she think she's being clever You say nobody's after you The fact is what you say is true But I can love you like nobody can, even better Well your nobody called today She hung up when I asked her name, well I wonder Does she think she's being clever You say nobody's after you The fact is what you say is true But I can love you like nobody can, even better
Oh well your nobody called today She hung up when I asked her name, well I wonder Does she think she's being clever
Babe, tomorrow's so far away There's something I just have to say I don't think I can hide what I'm feelin' inside Another day Knowin' I love you And I, I'm getting too close again I don't want to see it end If I tell you tonight Would you turn out the lights And walk away knowin' I love you?
I'm gonna take you by surprise And make you realize Amanda I'm gonna tell you right away I can't wait another day Amanda I'm gonna say it like a man And make you understand Amanda I love you
And I feel like today's the day I'm lookin' for the words to say Do you want to be free, are you ready for me To feel this way? I don't want to lose you So, it may be too soon, I know The feeling takes so long to grow If I tell you today Will you turn me away And let me go? I don't want to lose you
I'm gonna take you by surprise And make you realize Amanda I'm gonna tell you right away I can't wait another day Amanda I'm gonna say it like a man And make you understand Amanda (oh girl)
You and I I know that we can't wait And I swear, I swear it's not a lie girl Tomorrow may be too late You, you and I girl We can share a life together It's now or never And tomorrow may be too late (oh-oh)
And, feelin' the way I do I don't want to wait my whole life through To say I'm in love with you
Why do we never get an answer when we're knocking at the
door
With a thousand million questions about hate and death and war?
'Cause when we stop and look around us, there is nothing that we need
In a world of persecution that is burning in its greed
Why do we never get an answer when we're knocking at the
door?
Because the truth, it's hard to swallow, that's what the war of love is for
It's not the way that you say it
When you do those things to me
It's more the way that you mean it
When you tell me what will be
And when you stop and think about it
You won't believe it's true
That all the love you've been giving
Has all been meant for you
I'm looking for someone to change my life
I'm looking for a miracle in my life
And if you could see what it's done to me
To lose the the love I knew could safely lead me through
Between the silence of the mountains
And the crashing of the sea
There lies a land I once lived in
And she's waiting there for me
But in the grey of the morning
My mind becomes confused
Between the dead and the sleeping
And the road that I must choose
I'm looking for someone to change my life
I'm looking for a miracle in my life
And if you could see what it's done to me
To lose the love I knew could safely lead me to
The land that I once knew
To learn as we grow old the secrets of our souls
It's not the way that you say it
When you do those things to me
It's more the way you really mean it
When you tell me what will be
Why do we never get an answer when we're knocking at the
door
With a thousand million questions about hate and death and war?
'Cause when we stop and look around us, there is nothing that we need
In a world of persecution that is burning in its greed
Why do we never get an answer when we're knocking at the
door?
So, so you think you can tell Heaven from hell? Blue skies from pain? Can you tell a green field From a cold steel rail? A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell?
Did they get you to trade Your heroes for ghosts? Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze? Cold comfort for change? Did you exchange A walk-on part in the war For a leading role in a cage?
How I wish, how I wish you were here We're just two lost souls Swimming in a fish bowl Year after year Running over the same old ground What have we found? The same old fears Wish you were here
I had a friend, was a big baseball player Back in high school He could throw that speedball by you Make you look like a fool, boy
Saw him the other night at this roadside bar I was walking in, he was walking out We went back inside, sat down, had a few drinks But all he kept talking about was
Glory days Well, they'll pass you by, glory days In the wink of a young girl's eye, glory days Glory days
Alright
Well, there's a girl that lives up the block Back in school, she could turn all the boy's heads Sometimes on a Friday I'll stop by and have a few drinks After she put her kids to bed
Her and her husband Bobby, well, they split up I guess it's two years gone by now We just sit around talking about the old times She says when she feels like crying She starts laughing thinking 'bout
Glory days They'll pass you by, glory days In the wink of a young girl's eye, glory days Glory days
rock it now
Think I'm going down to the well tonight And I'm gonna drink 'til I get my fill And I hope when I get old, I don't sit around thinking about it But I probably will
Yeah, just sitting back Trying to recapture a little of the glory of Well, the time slips away Leaves you with nothing, mister, but boring stories of
Glory days Yeah, they'll pass you by, glory days In the wink of a young girl's eye, glory days Glory days
Well, they'll pass you by, glory days In the wink of a young girl's eye, glory days Glory days
Well, alright, ooh yeah Well, alright (alright) Come on now (oh, yeah) Well, alright (it's alright) Ooh, yeah (oh, yeah)
