1.A Brighter Day
There's a little bitty boy down in Jamaica＊
Who has the gift of seeing second sight
He sees the world and all it's troubles
But inside his heart the sun is shining bright
So everybody shout to your brother
Everybody sing let your spirit fly away
Oh oh oh shout to your brother
So all the people have a brighter day
Well the network news went down to the island
To try to understand the things he sees
But he just laughed and he waved at the camera
He said open up your mind and follow me
So everybody shout to your brother
Everybody sing let your spirit fly away
Oh oh oh shout to your brother
So all the people have a brighter day
When people go to war it hurts us all you see
They don't feel the need to congregate
I may be just a boy but I am not a fool
Our leaders need to simplify instead of complicate
So everybody shout to your brother
Everybody sing let your spirit fly away
Oh oh oh shout to your brother
So all the people have a brighter day
Everybody... yeah... everybody
Everybody shout to your brother
Everybody sing... can ya hear him say
Oh oh oh shout to your brother
So all the people have a brighter day
Everybody shout... to the little bitty boy
Everybody sing... all the people just gotta believe
Oh oh oh shout to your brother
I wanna tell ya, all the people have a brighter day
Ohh ohh can ya hear what the little boy say
2.Far From Home
I wish you could have stayed a little longer cause it seems like
only yesterday＊
You've gotten so much stronger now I know you're on your way
We've waited for this moment now it's hard to let you go
Cause baby when you're gone away I know I'm gonna miss you so
Spread your wings and fly away
When the rain begins to fall
Just remember that you'll never be that far from home
I looked in your room today I saw an old and worn out shoe
It's one from your favorite pair. I remember when they were new
You used to wear them everywhere when you used to hold my hand
Time slips through your fingers just like a tiny little grain of
sand
Baby just spread your wings and fly away
When the rain begins to fall
Just remember that you'll never be that far from home
Just remember that you'll never be that far from home
Just remember that you'll never be that far from home
Just remember that you'll never be that far from home
Spread your wings and fly away
Spread your wings and fly away
Spread your wings and fly away
3.Old Juarez
Well there's a new gunslinger in Juarez town＊
Fallen for a raven haired girl he found
The heat is strong but she wears a ring
That kind of love is a killing thing
Oh, oh, their eyes are shining bright
Oh, oh, dancing in the moonlight
Oh, oh, they ain't living in the shadows
Oh, oh, down in Old Juarez
He don't care about danger with this kind of love
He's either six feet under or in heaven above
She can live but he must die
Part time lover was living a lie
Oh, oh, their eyes are shining bright
Oh, oh, dancing in the moonlight
Oh, oh, they ain't living in the shadows
Oh, oh, down in Old Juarez
Back in the bar you don't see a tear in her eye
She stands there thinking, drinking to her last goodbye
Tell it baby
In the night time
The heat is rising
Out in the street
Her eyes burning bright
Down in Old Juarez
Her eyes are shining bright
Someone's watching in the shadows
Down in Old Juarez
Baby, baby please
You got me down on my knees＊
4.Chateau
Standing on the back porch talking to your sister＊
The walls came down and hit me like a Twister
Been locked up and they've thrown away the key
Now we've all got a show on the real TV
Going back, yeah, yeah
Going back, whoa, whoa
Going back, yeah, yeah
Gotta get back, gotta get back
Going back to the Chateau
Going back to the Chateau
Gotta get back
Hanging in the alley on a Saturday night
Howling at the moon feeling alright
Talking trash you crazy freak
Hit him so damn hard he won't get up for a week
Going back, yeah, yeah
Going back, whoa, whoa
Going back, yeah, yeah
Gotta get back, gotta get back
Going back to the Chateau
Going bac to the Chateau
Gotta get back
Going back, yeah yeah
Going back, whoa whoa
Going back, yeah yeah
Gotta get back, gotta get back
Going back to the Chateau
Going back to the Chateau
Going back to the Chateau
Gotta get back
5.I Know We Won
There's a blackbird sitting in the old oak tree＊
Right there on the branch where we used to be
We'd climb so high and watch the clouds roll by
You and I
I shared this dream with my best friend
Those summer days we thought they'd never end
Like a river flowing round the bend
Carrying us away
When hearts are young they sometimes break
But heal with every breath they take
And if life was just a game we played
I know, I know we won
And if I'm lying I'm dying
Cause I still feel the same old way
The longer I'm with you the more I want to stay
And if life was just a game we played
I know we won
After all is said and done
I know we won
When hearts are young they sometimes break
But heal with every breath they take
And if life was just a game we played
I know, I know we won
I know, I know we won
6.My Baby
There's a kind of light shining down through the trees＊
There's a bright moon light shining down through the trees
And I know my baby's coming down to be with me.
She got a basket on her arm, my love is high
She got a basket on her arm, my love is high
Now when she opens up the basket things are gonna be alright
I hear my baby calling
My, my, my, my, my, my baby goodnight
Well, well
My, my, my, my, my, my baby goodnight
Yeah, yeah
Oh, baby goodnight.
I hear that bird a calling, singing like a whippoorwill
Well, well well I hear that bird a calling, singing like a
whippoorwill
And when I hear that bird a calling, it gives my baby such a
thrill
And I think I called my baby
My, my, my, my, my, my baby goodnight
Well, well, well
My, my, my, my, my, my baby goodnight
Oooooooh
Oh baby goodnight
And I don't believe you heard me
My, my, talking about, talking about baby my light
My, my, my, my, talking about baby my light
Oh, baby goodnight
And I'm talking to the preacher
7.World Gone Crazy
Working real hard in the heart of the city＊
Noon day sun feeling hot and sweaty
Trying to make my pay, trying to make my monthly rent
Working real hard for the US dollar
Living real poor gonna make me holler
I don't wanna live in the street like some folks do.
I was raised up on the corner
In front of a grocery store
Shining shoes with the Daily News
For two pence on the floor
Given a chance I'd go back to the days of a simpler time
Cause this old world's gone crazy
And I'm about to lose my mind
Working real hard in the heart of the city
Noon day sun feeling hot and sweaty
Trying to make my pay, trying to make my monthly rent
Working real hard for the US dollar
Living real poor gonna make me holler
I don't wanna live in the street like some folks do.
My brother drives delivery right down on Dolphin Street
Has a little house by the railroad track
Kinda small but it was neat
The police came and got him for robbing a liquor store
And even though he didn't do it
They got what they came for
Working real hard in the heart of the city
Noon day sun feeling hot and sweaty
Trying to make my pay, trying to make my monthly rent
Working real hard for the US dollar
Living real poor gonna make me holler
I don't wanna live in the street like some folks do.
It's a poor man but life is bitter sweet
Doesn't wanna lose that good thing that he's got
But the same old government that pays you every week
Will come and take your home away and put you in the street
Working real hard in the heart of the city
Noon day sun feeling hot and sweaty
Trying to make my pay, trying to make my monthly rent
Working real hard for the US dollar
Living real poor gonna make me holler
I don't wanna live in the street like some folks do.
8.Little Prayer
When I wake alone at night＊
And you're so far away
I say a little prayer for you
And everything's okay
There's sunlight in your sparkling eyes
And summer in your smile
I'm sending up this little prayer
You'll stay here for awhile
Cause heaven knows I've been lonely
Oh but mercy came to me
Heaven must have sent you down
To set my poor heart free
So when I fall asleep at night
Your angel face I see
Thank heaven for this little prayer
That sent you here to me
Cause heaven knows I've been lonely
Oh but mercy came to me
Heaven must have sent you down
To set my poor heart free
So when I fall asleep at night
Your angel face I see
Thank heaven for this little prayer
That sent you here to me
Thank heaven for this little prayer
That sent you here to me
9.Don't Say Goodbye
This reminds me of those things we used to do＊
As that guy says pour another round
And this crazy love has got a mind of its own
I knew eventually I'd find you in this town
And your eyes always tell what your lips they can't say
Remember those nights down in old San Jose
Baby I know, you don't have to say any more
We can do anything you want tonight
As long as we don't say goodbye
On the balcony that overlooks the pool
We watched the carnival unfolding far below
I thought I saw someone waiting underneath the mango tree
It looked just like that guy you used to know
And your eyes always tell what your lips they can't say
Remember those nights down in old San Jose
Baby I know, you don't have to say any more
We can do anything you want tonight
As long as we don't say goodbye
10.Law Dogs
11.Young Man's Game
Now there ain't no rules or regulations
when you're playing rock'n'roll
You got your backbeat in the driver's seat
you're rollin' and it's out of control
Now they say that it's a young man's game
and that is who is fanning the flame
But they seem to forget
who shot the rocket out of the hole
You got your young string slingers
burnin' up and down the fretboard all day
You got your metal on the darkside
warnin' of the judgement day.
But there's still a lot of guys on the road
and they're knockin' down a backbeat, Lord
We got thirty long years
of bringing people rock'n'roll
Rockin' music makes us whole
it doesn't matter if you're young or old
They love to hear on the radio
it takes your troubles away
I'll tell you what don't work for me
that crazy ideology
That says playin' that rock'n'roll
is just a young man's game
Now if you're playin' in a collesium
or in a smoky old club
Long as all the people rockin'
there's a whole lotta shakin' going on
When you're singin' in harmony
and you're down on your bended knee
Throw your guitar in the trunk
and drive your Cadillac to the show.
(Repeat Chorus)
(Repeat Chorus)
I'm hear to tell you it drives me insane
to hear that rock'n'roll music's
just a young man's game
Drivin' in my car I'm tryin' to relax
But those rock'n'roll critics goin' yak yak yak
I'm here to tell you it drives me insane
to hear that rock'n'roll music's
just a young man's game
Drivin' in my car I'm tryin' to relax
Have Mercy! Those critics talkin' yak yak yak!
