Lobo Introducing Lobo Lyrics
1.Intro(Country Feelings)

Lyrics:Bob Montgomery/K.O'dell
Music:Bob Montgomery/K.O'dell

I've still got those country feelings
And their roots are in my soul
When I'm so tired I can't take it
Of this life that I've been sold

I turn off the world around me
And go drifting back in line
As those same old country feelings
Just come flowing across my mind


2.Me And You And A Dog Named Boo

Lyrics:Kent Lavoie
Music:Kent Lavoie

I remember to this day
The bright red Georgia clay
And how it stuck to the tires
After the summer rain
Will power made that old car go
A woman's mind told me that so
Oh how I wish
We were back on the road again

Me and you and a dog named boo
Travellin' and livin' off the land
Me and you and a dog named boo
How I love being a free man

I can still recall
The wheat fields of St. Paul
And the morning we got caught
Robbing from an old hen
Old McDonald he made us work
But then he paid us for what it was worth
Another tank of gas
And back on the road again

I'll never forget the day
We motored stately into big L.A.
The lights of the city put settlin'
Down in my brain
Though it's only been a month or so
That old car's buggin' us to go
We've gotta get away and get back on
The road again


3.The Albatross

Lyrics:Dick Holler
Music:Dick Holler

The man spoke to the albatross
What a funny thing you are
The man spoke to the albatross
Why must you fly so far
Today the waves are no ones slaves
Tomorrow's waves may be
Do you believe in me

The man spoke to the nightingale
Your songs to wild and free
The man spoke to the nightingale
Ah but sing a song for me
Once my skies could fill your eyes
With rain and sympathy
Do you believe in me

The man spoke to the whitest dove
How can I gain release
The man then killed the whitest dove
And justly kept the peace
For I must cry and surely die
To keep the people free
Do you believe in me
Do you believe in me
Do you believe in me


4.We'll Make It...I Know We Will

Lyrics:Kent Lavoie
Music:Kent Lavoie

Come on girl get aboard this bus
It's pretty crowded but there's room for us
It seems everybody here sees the beckoning light
Come on girl we'll be there Thursday night

The other side of the mountain
The greener side of the hill
A world is there for us to share
We'll make it I know we will

So come on girl get aboard this train
It's just about time we came out of the rain
We'll be stopping off in Lodi
But we won't be staying long
Come on girl we're going where we belong

So come on girl get aboard this dream
Only you know what it really means
When we get there you'll wash your hair
And let it dry in the sun
At the edge of the stream watching water run


5.A Little Different

Lyrics:Kent Lavoie
Music:Kent Lavoie

Once upon my boyhood time
The circus came to town
I remember church going people
Talking the carnies down
Misfits of society
That's what they said to me
So I sneaked up close
And watched them work
And found that actually

They laughed alot
They sang out loud
The way they walked
Made them look kinda proud
A little different from you
A little different from me
Alot like the man who walked
Through Galilee

Mr. and Mrs. Goldstein
Moved in next door to us
The neighbors were indignant
They put up quit a fuss
The neighborhood had gone to pot
And they had worked so hard
So I sneaked out back
Peeked through the fence
And watched them do the yard

They laughed a lot
They sang out loud
They looked just like the rest
Of the crowd
A little different from you
A little different from me
A lot like the man who walked
Through Galilee

Everyone is different
But everyone's the same
Riding around in circles
On life's mysterious train

What if other people
Thought that way of you
Too weak for the circus
Too dumb to be a Jew
A plain old Joe
In wash 'n' wear suit
Wasting his life away
Or do they look in envy
And do or don't they say


6.Reaching Out For Someone

Lyrics:Dick Holler
Music:Dick Holler

Going to San Francisco
To live my life away
Had to search for 15 years
To crash for just a day

I needed my revival
But I guess it never came
You know the summer brought the winter
And they both forgot my name

Reaching out for someone
Tell me what more can I say
Are you going my way

Wasted in Sausalito
A revelation came
I guess I could make it
But I won't play the game

Great God Almighty's gone
And he never even cried
And if you don't believe me
Then I want you by my side

Traveling on this mountain
I'll tell you what I see
I thought I saw Methuselah
Coming on down to me

Well I looked right up the rail road line
And I hear the rumblin' roar
I reached down in my pocket
And feel nothing anymore


7.She Didn't Do Magic

Lyrics:Kent Lavoie
Music:Kent Lavoie

Thumbing across Georgia I ran into Gloria
She seemed like a mystic to me
With a wave of her hand
She could make you feel grand
That was her mystery
Now I'll admit she knew alot of tricks
But so do lots of other chicks

She didn't do it like you can do magic
She didn't do it to me
She didn't do it like you can do it
She didn't do magic to me

Hiking through Virginia I met Melinda
She looked enchanting to see
She said give me your arm
And I'll show you my charms
That was her sorcery
I say it I will she had alot of skill
But compared to you she was way down hill

Arriving in Cleveland I'm coming to see you
Get you crystal ball out of the drawer
Cause I can tell if you been using you spell
And baby I know what for
The magic you loaned was to bring me home
And baby my love for you has grown

So you better do it like you can do magic
You better do it to me
Cause she didn't do it like you can do it
She didn't do magic to me


8.Little Joe(They're Out To Get Ya)

Lyrics:Dick Holler
Music:Dick Holler

Little Joe they're out to get ya
Right or wrong they'll never let you go
And you know it's them or you
And since they swore
You'd never make it back alive
If they don't bring you down by 12
They're gonna bring you down by 5

Well you came straight out of Tucson
Such a man among the mice
She swore she's gonna marry you
Change your life to right
But you ain't about to settle down
For a hundred years or more
But you know she's right behind you
As your sneaking out the door

Little Joe she's out to get ya
Right or wrong she'll never let you go
Cos she knows it's you for her
And since she swore you'd
Never get away alive
If she don't bring you down by 12
She gonna bring you down by 5

Well you came straight out of Frisco
On a boat for Vietnam
And you try to justify it
Can you kill another man
And you swear you'll never fire a gun
But a bullet kills your friend
And you flip the safety off your gun
And get ready for the end

Well you came straight from Diego
With some medals and some stars
And you fight the war all over
In the honky tonks and bars
And a man who should know better
Tells you fighting is just for fools
And though you know he's right you kill him
Because you got no other rule


9.I'm The Only One

Lyrics:Kent Lavoie
Music:Kent Lavoie

Trees are things that move
And tell you when the wind blows
Flowers are things that bloom
And tell you when the winter goes
Sand is a thing that tells you when
To empty your shoes
And I'm the only one
You tell all this to

Ralph is your cat who tells you that
He's got to go outside
Jane is your friends who tells you when
You ought not to cry
I know Boo she knows when you are
Feeling blue
But I'm the only one
You tell all this to
I'm the only one
You tell all this to

Fear is a word you hear
All alone in the dark
Fun is a day in the sun
With Ralph in the park
Happy's the time you find
A love that is true
And I'm the only one
Kathy tells all this to
I'm the only one
You tell all this to


10.We'll Be One By Two Today

Written:Kent Lavoie/A.Michael Gatley

We'll be one by two toady
Won't you help us find a better way
Please make us feel that we are right
To want to come together tonight

We've come to ask your help my friend
Cos you know just how it's been
We've got a lot to ask of you
And you know that's hard for us to do

Won't you help us
Help us

Those before us tripped and fell
Even though they think they're doing well
We don't want to live a lie
And watch our love slowly die

Won't you help us
Help us

Even Though we've asked your help before
My mouth turned dry walking through your door
Till now nothing meant so much to me
Through you eyes sweet Lord I see

Won't you help us
Help us


11.Another Hill To Climb

Lyrics:Kent Lavoie
Music:Kent Lavoie

You say you don't like
Where we call home
The way we live
Is bad and wrong
Travellin around instead
Of settling down
Our peace on mind
Is the highway sound

Another hill to climb
Another meal to find
A little air to breathe
That's all we need and we
Will be completely free

You say we don't care
What lies up ahead
There's money to save
Mouths to be fed
We're saving enough
To get away from this town
Lend us ten friend
We'll see you around

We don't see why
You're concerned about us
The way you worry friend
Got hang ups enough
Why not leave it all
And join us on the road
Life is beautiful
Free from the load


12.Reprise(Country Feeling)

Lyrics:Bob Montgomery/K.O'dell
Music:Bob Montgomery/K.O'dell

I've still got those country feelings
And their roots are in my soul
When I'm so tired I can't take it
Of this life that I've been sold

I turn off the world around me
And go drifting back in line
As those same old country feelings
Just come flowing across my mind
