Lose Them Blues
04:05
|
|||
Play it where it lay
and send it back again
there's nothing they can say
that will change the end
And all their words may try to
bring you down
One can only pray
that they come round
It's the price we pay
to gain uncommon ground
some things that were lost
need not be found
Ooh, lose them blues
and all you can't use
Now, don't refuse
to lose them blues
Like a castle in the skies
you will rise, rise, rise
Shine like a crazy diamond
in disguise
Shed all of those sorrows
and dry your eyes
May all of your tomorrows
bring sweet surprise
And all their words may try to
bring you down, down, down
One can only pray
that they come round
It's the price we pay
to gain uncommon ground
some things that were lost
need not be found
Ooh, lose them blues
when you choose
there's nothing they can say

Jackpot Baby

Jackpot Baby
With you I am a winner
For the rest of our days
we'll dine on chicken dinner
Your elusive ways
are tamed by no beginner
but, the reward you pay
Causes them to linger
Everything about you is in spades
Baby, you and I will have it made
Flush with them royal serenades
Our kind of love it never fades
Jackpot Baby
Oh, you're the one
Let's get away from here and have some fun
Jackpot Baby
Stay by my side
With you right there, I know, I'll be lucky tonight
Jackpot Baby
Meet me down the river
I'm rags on my own
please save this sinner
I've been long alone
but, know you will deliver
we'll fill this happy home
and be all the richer
Jackpot Baby
Oh, our time has come
Let's go far away from here and have some fun
Jackpot Lady
Now, let's get wild
Play them suicide kings with a smile
Jackpot Baby
stay by my side
with you right there, I know, I'll be lucky tonight
I'll get lucky tonight

I've been stuck in the middle
in the middle, baby, with you
And it seems like yesterday
when we finally knew the truth
And all those games we played
where the revolver was our Clue
I remember how you used to say
you gotta give the devil his due
When the Mockingbird sings to me
it's song is always the same
Mockingbird please let me be
and don't come back again
When the Mockingbird has come
there's no rest for anyone
Oh, the Mockingbird's song
sings forever on
I've been stuck in the middle
in the middle, baby, with you
And I remember you used to say
Well, it seems like yesterday

Unplug My Mind
03:59
|

Gonna unplug my mind and be all right
Too much noise works it overtime
Now, you can't believe everything you read
Not every position is guaranteed
Impassioned words plead for your soul
but, them cries of conspiracy are getting old
Well, you can't believe everything you hear
or live your life in constant fear
Round the world a whisper sounds louder than a gun
but, what's true for many is wrong to some
Gonna unplug my mind and be just fine
take a break from it all and sleep through the night
And maybe in my dreams
I'll find a little peace
'cause these days feel extreme
and it seems so out of reach
Gonna unplug my mind and be all right
Too much noise works it overtime
No, you can't believe everything you see
even when the pictures look like me
careful manipulations made to sway
So, you better think twice about what you say
And maybe in my dreams
I'll find a little peace
'cause these days it can seem...
so out of reach

Roll On
02:47
|

Where the ocean waves
reach the shore
they drift away
and leave me wanting more
they carry my cares
far out to sea
until they become
distant memories
They roll on
far away from here
for the ocean knows no fear
whatever your troubles
baby, you know, it rolls on
In quiet moments
at dawn's first light
my hope for the world
shines on despite
whatever may come
throughout the day
and whatever may
threaten disarray
So, roll on
onto the setting sun
on when the day is done
whatever your troubles
baby, you know, it rolls on
...and some day
some day you may find
your trouble will subside
to be replaced by piece of mind
Roll on
roll on without an end
forever to transcend
whatever your troubles
baby, you know, it rolls on
it rolls on

When She Drives
02:50
|
|||
One
Day I will
come to realize
She
took the keys
and went for a ride
My baby, knows no other way
I'll try not to close my eyes
when she rockets down the interstate
doing a hundred and five
she's got horses and v8
it may have been unwise
best to clear out her lane
my baby, when she drives
My baby, knows no other way
you better recognize
she'll leave you while you hesitate
and wave bye bye
she's got horses and v8
it may have been unwise
best to clear out her lane
my baby, when she drives
Too
it should not
be of much surprise
When
she comes round
and begins to slide
She's
bound to be
first across the line
Just
imagine if
she actually was to try

Cherry Cheesecake
02:39
|
|||
My baby, when she goes
you know she comes back to me
She's my Cherry Cheesecake
and she's as sweet as can be
there's something in her way
and that's just fine by me
Now, when she kicks off her shoes
you know she'll solve the mystery
She's like Mrs White
rockin' the convervatory
She's my Cherry Cheesecake
and she's got all that I need
there's something in her way
and that's all right with me
Now, when she makes up her mind
you know she's gonna have her say
She'll talk in the dark
and sleep in the light of day
She's my Cherry Cheesecake and everything's ok
Yes, she's my Cherry Cheesecake and everything's ok
