2.There Ain't No Way

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo

The dirty rain is falling
I hear the wind a calling me away
The motel sign is flashing
And in my mind I'm crashing what to say.
What to say

The words they started flowing
And passions started growing like years ago
The wine made my mind crazy
But now I'm not so hazy I gotta go
I Gotta Go

The love we made today
It was just a foolish way
To try to bring back yesterday there ain't no way.

The dirty rain is falling
And in my mind it's calling me away
I'm staring at the ceiling
I can't let that feeling make me stay.
I Just Can't Stay


3.A Big Red Kite

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo

I know I owe you a better time
Then the way that I've been
But something's messing with my mind
And it's not giving in

They say that I should want to be
A man who leads us all
But every time I look I see
Another leader fall.

So I'm gonna sit in a green field
And fly a big red kite I'm gonna
Send my mind up the string and I'm
gonna get it right.

They say that I should want to have
A big bank account
What Uncle Sam don't take from me
Man I don't need to count.

They say that I should want to stand
For what I don't believe
I'm sitting thinking to myself
What kind of man could leave.


4.Recycle Sally

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo

I know she's gone again
I saw her walking up the track
God only knows when she will be back
The only thing I know as sure as
Morning starts the day
When she comes home again
This is what they'll all say.

Recycle Sally coming round again
Recycle Sally we all know where you've been
Recycle Sally why can't the fools see
Recycle Sally Recycle Sally Recycle Sally
That you recycle to me.

Now Sally ain't about to start to get settled down
She likes to circulate herself all around town
She might get abused and crushed all out of shape
But they ain't made nothing that my Sally can't take.


5.Don't Expect Me To Be Your Friend

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo

I stopped sending flowers to your apartment
You said you aren't home much anymore
I stopped dropping by without an appointment
Cause I'd hear laughter coming through your door.

Sometimes late at night you'll still call me
Just before you close your eyes to sleep
You make me vow to try and stop by sometime
Baby that's a promise I can't keep.

I love you too much to ever start liking you
So lets just let the story kinda end
I love you too much to ever start liking you
So don't expect me to be your friend.

I don't walk down through the village or other places
That we used to go to all the time
I'm trying to erase you from my memory
Cause thinking of you jumbles up my mind.

You always act so happy when I see you
You smile that way you take my hand and then
Introduce me to your latest lover
That's when I feel the walls start crashing in.


6.A Simple Man

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo

Where do butterflies go when it rains?
Who goes around & tucks in the trains?
What makes a teddy bear like to sleep?
Why do we all make promises that we can't keep?

Where do puppy dogs go when their sad?
And what do elephants say when their mad?
Who do you tell if you don't have a friend?
Why do we open our mouths and stick our foot in?

These are the things that bother me,
Not a lot of things across some sea,
I don't even have a master plan,
I guess that I am just a simple man.

Where do robins sleep on the road?
And how can a little ant carry that load?
Why write words that we have to erase?
Why does everyone have more than one face?


7.I'd Love You To Want Me

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo

When I saw you standing there
I bout fell out my chair
And when you moved your mouth to speak
I felt the blood go to my feet.

Now it took time for me to know
what you tried so not to show
Now something in my soul just cries
I see the want in your blue eyes.

Baby, I'd love you to want me
The way that I want you
The way that it should be
Baby, you'd love me to want you
The way that I want to
If you'd only let it be.

You told yourself years ago
You'd never let your feeling show
The obligation that you made
For the title that they gave.


8.Let Me Down Easy

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo

Let me down easy
Let me down slow
Let me down easy
If you're gonna go
Bring me down slowly
Then let me off low
Let me down easy
If you're gonna go.

You had me way up in the air
But you were there to see me through
You had me way above the trees
Now you're leaving me
But I ask of you
I could do without you here
If I had a year before you go
Like the wind I'll drift around
Until I've found a way to show - that you must


9.Pee-ro Juan Valdez Sam Quixote

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo

Whenever you are down in Tijuana
I'll tell you who you should go to see
The man who can tell you what is happening
Pee-ro Juan Valdez Sam Quixote.

Ask Pee-ro about his friend Rosita
And if he should tell you you'd better not
Ask how is his sister Juanita
The line he'll give is man you ask a lot.

Oh oh ask Pee-ro
Oh oh ask Pee-ro
Oh oh ask Pee-ro
Oh oh ask Pee-ro

If ever you should feel a little down
Wait til Dr. Pee-ro comes around
He will give you something that will help
And it just might cure everything else.


10.Running Deer

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo

I promised you if you'd love me
That I'd never ever go
Want you to know now that I meant that
Just didn't know they'd need me so

My body's here in the city
But my soul is back at home
My people need my education
Pleading eyes won't leave my head alone.

So this is Running Deer running
To the home I left behind
This is running deer running
Before I run out of my mind.

I told you bout the reservation
And the way that I was raised
How my family never had much
Well now I've got some debts to pay

You were born here in the city
You've seen the hunger and the pain
My people lived like that for centuries
That's what I have got to try and change.


11.Gypsy And The Midnight Ghost

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo

Late one night the midnight ghost rolled out of San Jose
We could hear the echo of the whistle across the bay
Gypsy said that he could hear
The freedom he couldn't see
I smiled and rubbed old Rex's head
I think he understood me

From the Hills of California
To the North Carolina coast
Gypsy saw the skies looking through my eyes
Riding on the midnight ghost.

Gypsy would grab my arm and ask what we were passing by
I'd describe the Rio Grande and the redwood In the sky
Now we never talked about the time my mistake took away his
sight
Gypsy had accepted that he said Rex makes it alright.

We made friends in every state that's real important to me
Gypsy and Rex would have a home if something should happen to me
But I know the only thing that would bring old Gypsy down
Is having to miss the midnight ghost and all of those moving
sounds.


12.Am I True To Myself

Lyrics:Lobo
Music:Lobo

Today I looked down in the water
I saw a face look back at me
It hit me like a bolt of lightning
I may not like what I see.

Am I true to myself
Do I believe in what I do
Am I playing a role
Do I want to be like you
Or am I what I hate in others
Only seeing things my way
That's what I'm gonna ask myself today.

Do I really like my brothers
Do I like my hair so long
Do I try to think of others
Can I believe what's in my song

Do I think of all men equal
Or pretend I just don't see
Have I looked for good in others
Or just laughed and let them be.
