Glenn Frey Solo Collection Lyrics
1.This Way To Happiness

Lyricist:Glenn FreyJack TempchinJay Oliver
Writer(s):Glenn FreyJack TempchinJay Oliver

Way outta town on some midnight highway
Headed nowhere, was just drivin' by myself
The night was cold, the wind was blowin'
Me, I felt like I was someone else

I was achin', I was alone
No destination, so far away from home
Suddenly I find myself callin' to the heavens above
Please send me someone to love

Which way to happiness? Over the mountain
Which way to freedom? Just across the sea
Lord, I been searchin' for what seems like forever, now
Which way to happiness for someone like me?

It seems like I spend my whole life runnin'
Runnin' away from what I couldn't be
Down some endless road just south of nowhere
Always movin' but never really free

I had a dream, I said a prayer
Just like the answer, you were standin' there
The neon sign that was fifteen stories tall
I could hear the angels call

This way to happiness, the train is leavin'
Over the mountain, headin' to sea
Highway to freedom is when you start believin'
This way to happiness, you and me

I've rolled this rig from coast to coast
I've seen alot, I've done more than most
I was like a sailor lost at sea
When, like an angel from above, you came down and rescued me

This way to happiness, the train is leavin'
Over the mountain, headin' to sea
Highway to freedom is when you start believin'
This way to happiness, you and me


2.Who's Been Sleeping In My Bed

Lyricist:Bobby WhitlockJack Tempchin
Writer(s):Bobby WhitlockJack Tempchin

I came in through the front door
I know I heard the back door slam
Tell me, who do you think you're foolin'
You been messin' with another man

You're actin' very suspicious
You got that guilty look in your eye
And you smell like Old Spice on your skin
So there ain't no way that you can lie

I said, 'Who's been sleepin' in my bed?
Who's been lovin' you, baby?
Who's been playin' in my house?
Who's been sleepin' in my bed?'

Looks like a hurricane hit here
The sheets are all over the floor
And the curtains are drawn in the middle of the day
And the lights are turned way down low

I said, 'Who's been sleepin' in my bed?
Who's been lovin' you, baby?
Who's been playin' in my house?
Who's been sleepin' in my bed?'

Well, I'm callin' up the hospital, darlin'
Gettin' a room with two beds in your name
'Cause you and your brand new boyfriend
Will about to be together again

I said, 'Who's been sleepin' in my bed?
Who's been lovin' you, baby?
Who's been playin' in my house?
Who's been sleepin' in my bed?'

I want to know


3.Common Ground

Lyricist:Glenn FreyJack Tempchin
Writer(s):Glenn FreyJack Tempchin

Wonderin' how to cross the river
On a cold and windy night
With the water ragin' higher
By the moon's shinin' light

Suddenly a man stepped forward
And he looked at all around
He said, 'We all must cross this river
We all stand on common ground'

Though I was standin' amongst strangers
I did not know their names
I realized they were with me
And our journey was the same

As he spoke out loud, I looked around me
I could see they knew it too
We would cross or die together
No one man could make it through

There was shelter across the river
Across the water deep and black
As a storm moved in behind us
There was no way to turn back

So, I stepped right up beside him
And took one last look around
That before my eyes I realized
We all stand on common ground
We all stand on common ground

So, many years have come and gone
Since we crossed that river wide
When I look back on that night
It still moves me so inside

This world today is like that river
It's water cold and black
We all must cross together
For there is no turnin' back

For the mountain high or a city street
It's the same old world below our feet
It's time to wake up, people, and take a look around
We all stand on common ground

It's time for every woman and every man
And hold the future in our hands
Wake up and look around
We all stand on common ground
We all stand on common ground


4.Call On Me(Theme From

Lyricist:Glenn FreyJack Tempchin
Writer(s):Glenn FreyJack Tempchin

If you need someone to talk to
And you're feelin' all alone
And there's no one else to turn to
Just pick up your telephone

If your love affair's sinkin'
Like a ship that's goin' down
And you find yourself on a dead end street
In a lonely part of town

Everyone you counted on let you down
Baby, you can call on me
I been waitin' for you in the lost and found
Baby, you can call on me

I got an angel on my shoulder
I got the devil by my side
I gotta have someone to talk to
'Cause it's a long and lonely ride

I've seen it all before and I'll see it all again
I see where it starts out and I see where it all ends
The gutters in the streets and the mansion on the hill
Nothin' ever changes, nothin' ever will

If your old man don't treat you right
Baby, you can call on me
If you find yourself in trouble, up all night
Baby, you can call on me

If you know someone sneakin' around
Baby, you can call on me
If you don't like what's comin' down
Baby, you can call on me

I'll put it all out on the table
You've got to tell me how you feel
But you better be ready to face the truth
If you want to make this deal

I'll find a needle in a haystack, a lover or a friend
I got everything's goin' on, but I will not pretend
I tell it like it is, you know I take it as it lies
I'll tell you where you find it, I make no alibis

If you don't like what's goin' down
Baby, you should call on me
I been waitin' for you in the lost and found
Baby, you can call on me, call on me


5.The One You Love(Album Version)

Lyricist:Glenn FreyJack Tempchin
Writer(s):Glenn FreyJack Tempchin

I know you need a friend, someone you can talk to
Who will understand what you're going through
When it comes to love, there's no easy answer
Only you can say what you're gonna do

I heard you on the phone, you took his number
Said you weren't alone, but you'd call him soon
Isn't he the guy, the guy who left you cryin'?
Isn't he the one who made you blue?

When you remember those nights in his arms
You know you gotta make up your mind

Are you gonna stay with the one who loves you
Or are you goin' back to the one you love?
Someone's gonna cry when they know they've lost you
Someone's gonna thank the stars above

What you gonna say when he comes over?
There's no easy way to see this through
All the broken dreams, all the disappointment
Oh girl, what you gonna do?

Your heart keeps sayin' it's just not fair
But still you gotta make up your mind

Are you gonna stay with the one who loves you
Or are you goin' back to the one you love?
Someone's gonna cry when they know they've lost you
Someone's gonna thank the stars above


6.Sexy Girl(Album Version)

Lyricist:Glenn FreyJack Tempchin
Writer(s):Glenn FreyJack Tempchin

She moved in next door to me
And she showed me her world
What a neighbor, thanks for the favor
She's a very sexy girl

She's a sexy girl
(Sexy girl, sexy girl)
She's a very sexy girl
She's a sexy girl
(Sexy girl, sexy girl)
She's a very sexy girl

I got a feeling I can't go wrong
'Cause every time I see her
It's like hearing my favorite song
She's already down the steps
She's way down the block
But my heart keeps beating faster
And it just won't stop

She's a sexy girl
(Sexy girl, sexy girl)
She's a very sexy girl, that's right
She's a sexy girl
(Sexy girl, sexy girl)
She's a very sexy girl

I love to take her walkin' and when we started talkin'
I'd tell her she's the finest I've ever seen
She'd look into my eyes but then I realize
I'm holding on to a dream

She's a sexy girl
(Sexy girl, sexy girl)
She's a very sexy girl, she's mine
She's a sexy girl
(Sexy girl, sexy girl)
She's a very sexy girl

Stop any man walking down the street
Ask him what kind of girl he'd like to meet
There's not one thing in this whole wide world
He'd rather see than a sexy girl

She's a sexy girl
(Sexy girl, sexy girl)
She's a very sexy girl, oh yeah
She's a sexy girl
(Sexy girl, sexy girl)
She's a very sexy girl


7.Smuggler's Blues(Album Version)

Lyricist:Glenn FreyJack Tempchin
Writer(s):Glenn FreyJack Tempchin

There's trouble on the streets tonight
I can feel it in my bones, I had a premonition
That he should not go alone

I knew the gun was loaded
But I didn't think he'd kill
Everything exploded, and the blood began to spill

So baby, here's your ticket
Put the suitcase in your hand, here's a little money now
Do it just the way we planned
You be cool for twenty hours, and I'll pay you twenty grand

I'm sorry it went down like this
And someone had to lose, it's the nature of the business
It's the smuggler's blues, smuggler's blues

The sailors and pilots, the soldiers and the law
The pay-offs and the rip-offs and the things nobody saw
No matter if it's heroin, cocaine, or hash
You've got to carry weapons, 'cause you always carry cash

There's lots of shady characters, lots of dirty deals
Ev'ry name's an alias, in case somebody squeals
It's the lure of easy money, it's got a very strong appeal

Perhaps you'd understand it better
Standin' in my shoes, it's the ultimate enticement
It's the smuggler's blues, smuggler's blues

You see it in the headlines, you hear it ev'ry day
They say they're gonna stop it but it doesn't go away
They move it through Miami, sell it in L.A.
They hide it up in Telluride, I mean it's here to stay

It's propping up the governments in Columbia and Peru
You ask any D.E.A. man, he'll say there's nothin' we can do
From the office of the President
Right down to me and you, me and you

It's a losing proposition but one you can't refuse
It's the politics of contraband
It's the smuggler's blues, smuggler's blues


8.The Heat Is On(Soundtrack Version)

Lyricist:Harold FaltermeyerKeith Forsey
Writer(s):Harold Faltermeyer

The heat is on, on the street
Inside your head, on every beat
And the beat's so loud, deep inside
The pressure's high, just to stay alive
'Cause the heat is on

Oh woo oh ho, oh woo oh ho
Caught up in the action I've been looking out for you
Oh woo oh ho, oh woo oh ho
Tell me can you feel it? Tell me can you feel it?
Tell me can you feel it?

The heat is on, the heat is on
The heat is on, it's on the street
The heat is on

Oh woo oh ho, oh woo oh ho
Caught up in the action I've been looking out for you
Oh woo oh ho, oh woo oh ho
Tell me can you feel it? Tell me can you feel it?
Tell me can you feel it?

The heat is on, the heat is on
The heat is on, it's on the street
The heat is on

The shadows are on the darker side
Behind those doors, it's a wilder ride
You can make a break, you can win or lose
That's a chance you take when the heat's on you
When the heat is on

Oh woo oh ho, oh woo oh ho
Caught up in the action I've been looking out for you
Oh woo oh ho, oh woo oh ho
Tell me can you feel it? Tell me can you feel it?
Tell me can you feel it?

The heat is on, the heat is on
The heat is on, it's on the street
The heat is on, the heat is on
The heat is on, it's on the street
The heat is on, the heat is on


9.You Belong To The City(Album Version)

Lyricist:Glenn FreyJack Tempchin
Writer(s):Glenn FreyJack Tempchin

The sun goes down, the night rolls in
You can feel it starting all over again
The moon comes up and the music calls
You're gettin' tired of starin' at the same four walls

You're out of your room and down on the street
Movin' through the crowd and the midnight heat
The traffic crawls, the sirens scream
You look at the faces, it's just like a dream

Nobody knows where you're goin'
Nobody cares where you've been

'Cause you belong to the city
You belong to the night
Livin' in a river of darkness
Beneath the neon lights
You were born in the city
Concrete under your feet

It's in your moves, it's in your blood
You're a man of the street

When you said goodbye, you were on the run
Tryin' to get away from the things you've done
Now you're back again and you're feeling strange
So much has happened but nothing has changed

You still don't know where you're goin'
You're still just a face in the crowd

You belong to the city
You belong to the night
Livin' in a river of darkness
Beneath the neon lights
You were born in the city
Concrete under your feet

It's in your blood, it's in your moves
You're a man of the street

You can feel it, you can taste it
You can see it, you can face it

You can hear it, hey, you're getting near it, hey
You wanna make it, 'cause you can take it

You belong to the city, you belong to the night
You belong to the city, you belong to the night

You belong
You belong


10.True Love(Album Version)

Lyricist:Glenn FreyJack TempchinCole Porter
Writer(s):Glenn FreyJack TempchinCole Porter

Out of the blue, out of the night
You came along and you changed my life
I'm feeling things I swear I never felt before
You looked at me, that's all it took
You read my heart like an open book

Well, it was true love, right from the start
It was true love, straight from my heart
It was true love, ain't no doubt about it, baby
True love, I can't live without it

Before I met you baby, I was alone
Thought I was happy livin' on my own
But now I realize
This world was made for two, like me and you
With you by my side, everything's fine
There ain't no mountain, sugar, we can't climb

We got a true love, that's all we need
Is a true love, it's got a lifetime guarantee
It's a true love, so hard to find baby
True love, put your heart on the line now

True love, makes every day a little brighter
True love, makes every burden just a little lighter
True love, it'll make you be a better man
If you had true love, you'd understand

Out of the blue, out of the night
You came along and you changed my life
You got me feeling things, I swear I never felt before
You lift me up, you make me strong
You give me lovin' lastin' all night long

It's a true love, right from the start
It's a true love, comin' straight from my heart
True love, need you here beside me baby
True love, need your love to guide me
True love, I can't deny this feelin' no, no matter how hard I
try
True love, I just know what I feel
And it's a true love

She's my baby, she's my girl
She changed my life, oh, she changed my world
She's my buttercup, oh, fill me up, woo yeah

Talkin' about love, talkin' about love
It's gotta be a true love

True love
True love
True love

12.Part Of Me, Part Of You

Lyricist:Glenn FreyJack Tempchin
Writer(s):Glenn FreyJack Tempchin

I felt it when the sun came up this morning
I knew I could not wait another day
Darling, there is somethin' I must tell you
A distant voice is calling me away

Until we find the bridge across forever
Until this grand illusion brings us home
You and I will always be together
From this day on you'll never walk alone

You're a part of me, I'm a part of you
Wherever we may travel, whatever we go through
Whatever time may take away
It cannot change the way we feel today
So hold me close and say you feel it too
You're part of me and I am part of you

I can hear it when I stand beside the river
I can see it when I look up in the sky
I can feel it when I hear that lonesome highway
So many miles to go before I die

We can never know about tomorrow
But still we have to choose which way to go
You and I are standing at the crossroads
Darling, there is one thing you should know

You're a part of me, I'm a part of you
Wherever we may travel, whatever we go through
Whatever time may take away
It cannot change the way we feel today
So hold me close and say you feel it too
You're part of me, I am part of you, part of you

I look at you, your whole life stands before you
I look at me and I'm running out of time
Time has brought us here to share these moments
To look for somethin' we may never find

Until we find the bridge across forever
Until this grand illusion brings us home
You and I will always be together
From this day on you'll never walk alone

You're a part of me, I'm a part of you
Wherever we may travel, whatever we go through
Whatever time may take away
It cannot change the way we feel today
So hold me close and say you feel it too
You're part of me, I am part of you, part of you

Part of me, part of you, part of me, part of you


13.I've Got Mine(Album Version)

Lyricist:Glenn FreyJack Tempchin
Writer(s):Glenn FreyJack Tempchin

Someone's sleeping on the sidewalk
As the winter sun goes down
Someone's drinking cold champagne
In another part of town

And the only thing he thinks about
As he sips his glass of wine
'It sure feels good sitting here tonight
Now that I've got mine'

I've got mine, I've got mine
This isn't such a bitter world
'Cause I've got mine

Someone's wandering the streets tonight
No way to warm his hands
Someone's turning up their fireplace
Making travel plans

His mind is on some sandy beach
Where the sun is gonna shine
He thinks, 'I don't have to hang around
Now that I've got mine'

You see them in their limousines
You see the way they stare
But they don't see us looking back
Because they don't really care

They say, 'I've got mine, I've got mine
The world is as it's meant to be
'Cause I've got mine'

So I make a small donation
What more can I do?
You know I didn't make this world
I'm in it just like you

I've worked all my life on this house of cards
To keep it all in line
I can't take care of everyone
Now that I've got mine

There's another kind of poverty
That only rich men know
A moral malnutrition
That starves their very souls

And they can't be saved by money
They're all running out of time
And all the while they're thinkin'
'It's okay 'cause I've got mine'

I've got mine, I've got mine
I don't want a thing to change
'Cause I've got mine

I've got mine, I've got mine


14.River Of Dreams(Album Version)

Lyricist:Glenn FreyJack Tempchin
Writer(s):Glenn FreyJack Tempchin

On a dark December morning
When the sun refused to shine
I spent another sleepless night
Got so much on my mind
Think I finally know what's wrong
I think I've gotta leave this place behind

So I said, 'Wake up, Linda
I've had a dream
I dreamed we moved away from here
To a place I've never seen
Where the nights were long and cold
And the air was fresh and clean'

And there we were standing
Underneath the western sky
Beside a home we built ourselves
Way up in the mountains high
And we lived happy there, just you and I
On a river of dreams

There's no need to worry now
'Cause I've got a plan
We don't need this modern world
I'm not a modern man
We're gonna get ourselves off these city streets
We're gonna get back on the land

There's a whole lot of people out there
Feel just like you and me
They'd love to pack their leavin' trucks
Say goodbye to all their misery
We say we pack up that Camaro, honey
Chase the sun until we're free

And if I could I'd lift you up on angel wings
We'd fly away and never worry about a thing
We'd know the joy and riches a simple life can bring
On a river of dreams, on a river of dreams

You get your things together now
I'll be getting mine
I've finally got the feeling, girl
The sun is gonna shine
You know people don't run out of dreams
People just run out of time

Let's find that place out there
Underneath the western sky
We'll build a home ourselves
Way up in the mountains high
We'll live happy there till the day we die
On a river of dreams

And we'll have stars to wish on every single night
We'll build a fire and make love by candlelight
We'll do our moon dance till we get it right
On a river of dreams, on a river of dreams

Roll on river, roll on river dreams
I can see us standing by the river
Holding hands beside the river

16.Brave New World(Album Version)

Lyricist:Glenn FreyJack Tempchin
Writer(s):Glenn FreyJack Tempchin

Out on the blue horizon, the clouds were rollin' in
The ground below was shaking, with the risin' wind
I looked over my shoulder, said goodbye to my home
After today there'd be no turning back, we were on our own

Everyone had taken sides, the battle lines were drawn
We stared into the face of war and waited for the dawn
Everything that we worked for, they took from our hands
We were left with no choice but to stand up and fight for this
land

But don't worry, darlin', this will all be over soon
Just remember you will always be my girl
And somehow you will find the strength
To stand up on your own and live in this brave new world

How it all came down to this, no one can really say
Every time we cried out for help, they looked the other way
Now there's no turning back, we have got to be strong
We will travel the hard road to freedom, no matter how long

But don't worry, darlin', this will all be over soon
Just remember you will always be my girl
These are the times we're born into
This is why we're here to live in this brave new world
