1.A Mess Of Blues
( pomus ／ shuman )
I just got your letter baby, too bad you can't come home
I swear i'm going crazy, sitting here all alone
Since you gone i got a mess of the blues
Whoops there goes a tear drop, a-rolling down my face
And if you cry when you're alone it's surely no disgrace
I ain't slept a wink since sunday, i can't eat a thing all day
And every day is just blue monday since you've been away
Since you gone i got a mess of the blues
Whoops there goes a tear drop, a rolling down my face
And if you cry when you're alone it's surely no disgrace
I gotta get myself together before i lose my mind
I'm gonna catch-a the next train going, and leave my blues
behind
Since you gone i got a mess of the blues
I gotta get myself together before i lose my mind
I'm gonna catch-a the next train going, and leave my blues
behind
Since you gone i got a mess of the blues
Since you gone i got a mess of the blues
Since you gone i got a mess of the blues
2.Ain't Complaining
( rossi ／ parfitt ／ williams )
There's nothing left, there's nothing right
There's nothing left, there's nothing right
There's nothing left, right left right
Up down up down up down up down
All right all right
You wind me up, you bring me down
Your reputation is all over the town
So long as you come home to me
I ain't complaining
You fool around, we scream and fight
The way you're treating me, you know it ain't right
But when you're making out with me
I ain't complaining
It ain't no use, you playing it loose
And thinking it don't matter to me
It ain't fair at all
You only have to call my name
And i'll come running to you
All right all right
You're out all night, you sleep all day
When i get home you're going out to play
Oh, woman give me some time and everything's fine
I ain't complaining
You just don't care, we're in a mess
And the company you keep ain't the best
But when you're lying there with me
I ain't complaining
It ain't no use, you playing it loose
And thinking it don't matter to me
It ain't fair at all
You only have to call my name
And i'll come running to you
But when the chips are down
A man can only take so much fooling around
And if you don't come home to me
I'll be complaining
All right
There's nothing left, there's nothing right
Our situation ain't looking too bright
'cause i have taken all i'm gonna take
Without complaining
It ain't no use playing it loose
And thinking it don't matter to me
It ain't fair at all
You only have to call my name
And i'll come running to you
But when the chips are down
A man can only take so much fooling around
And if i don't come home to you
You'll be complaining
All right all right all right all right
All right all right
3.All Around My Hat
All around my hat
I will wear the green willow
And all around my hat
For a twelwe month and a day
And if anyone should ask me
The reason why i'm wearing it
It's all for my true love
Who's far far away
Fare the well cold winter
And fare the well cold frost
But nothing have i gain
But my own true love i've lost
I'll sing and i'll be merry
When occasion i do see
She's a false deluded young girl
Let here go farewell she
And all around my hat
I will wear the green willow
And all around my hat
For a twelwe month and a day
And if anyone should ask me
The reason why i'm wearing it
It's all for my true love
Who's far far away
The other night she brought me
A fine diamond ring but,
She tought to have deprive me
Of a far better thing
But i being careful
As lovers ought to be
She's a false deluded young girl
Let her go farewell she
And all around my hat
I will wear the green willow
And all around my hat
For a twelwe month and a day
And if anyone should ask me
The reason why i'm wearing it
It's all for my true love
Who's far far away
All around my hat
I will wear the green willow
And all around my hat
For a twelwe month and a day
And if anyone should ask me
The reason why i'm wearing it
It's all for my true love
Who's far far away
4.Burning Bridges
( rossi ／ bown )
Building dreams has always been my way
Making time and living for the day
Burning bridges never made me cry
I could walk away with no goodbye
Easy take or easy leave them all
'til you scratch the writing on the wall
It's on and off and on again
Going on and then
Taking all i got again
Bleeding me leaving me dry
You're hanging on for what you can
Dragging out the pain
Taking all i give again
Fakin it making me cry
One day someday i may slide away
Turn around and call it all a day
Even though i fooled myself for years
I can't escape this ringing in my ears
It's on and off and on again
Going on and then
Taking all i got again
Bleeding me leaving me dry
You're hanging on for what you can
Dragging out the pain
Taking all i give again
Fakin it making me cry
5.Dear John
( gustafson ／ macauley )
Everybody was talking to me
Like i was a child
In their words i could hear them saying
It's just a matter of time
Anyway it's a long long race been run
Anyway it's a sad sad song been sung
Dear john goodbye she said
Sometimes it's hard she said
Dear john i've broken away
Vanity is hard old lady
You can't read her mind
I'm a fool but i don't fool easy
While you're foolin' around
Anyway i can hold my own tonight
I admit i was wrong and you where right
Dear john goodbye she said
Sometimes it's hard she said
Dear john i've broken away
Dear john goodbye she said
Sometimes it's hard she said

Anyway it's a sad sad song been sung
Dear john goodbye she said
Sometimes it's hard she said
Dear john i've broken away
Dear john goodbye she said
Sometimes it's hard she said
Dear john i've broken away
Dear john goodbye she said
Sometimes..
6.Don't Stop Me Now
( lancaster ／ bown )
Oh baby please, i'm on my knees
Oh baby please don't stop me now
Oh baby please don't stop me now
I scheme all night and i dream all day
I'm so paranoid someone's gonna take you away
You look surprised and i'm so amazed
But don't let true love fade away
I see your face and i hear your name
Give me one chance and no-one's gonna take you away
You look surprised and i'm so amazed
But don't let true love fade away
Oh baby please, i'm on my knees
Oh baby please don't stop me now
Oh baby please, it's always been a dream
If it's really me don't stop me now
Oh baby please don't stop me now
You look surprised and i'm so amazed
But don't let true love fade away
You look surprised and i'm so amazed
But don't let true love fade away
7.Dreamin'
8.Fun Fun Fun
well, she got her daddy's car and she cruised through the
hamburger stand now;
Seems she forgot all about the library, like she told her old
man now,
And with her radio blastin', goes cruisin' just as fast as she
can now,
And she'll have fun, fun, fun, till her daddy take the t-bird
away.
Well, the girls can't stand her 'cause she walks, looks, and
drives like an ace
Now.
She makes the indy five hundred look like a roman chariot race
now.
A lotta guys try to catch her, but she leads, 'em on a wild
goose chase now,
And she'll have fun, fun, fun, till her daddy takes the t-bird
away.
A-well, you knew all along that your dad was gettin' wise to you
now,
And since he took your set of keys, you've been thinkin' that
your fun is all
Through now.
But you can come along with me, 'cause we gotta lotta things to
do now,
And we'll have fun, fun, fun, now that daddy took the t-bird
away.
9.Going Down Town Tonight
( johnson )
I'm going down town tonight, i'm gonna find myself a dream
I'm gonna dress up right, and be the best they've ever seen
You can tell from their eyes, you can tell from their eyes
That they're never impressed, that they're never impressed
From the way they walk round, from the way they walk round
They are used to the best, they are used to the best
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
Why let them break you in with self-sophisticated praise
'cos when the cards are low you see the smile come on their face
If you speak the right words, if you speak the right words
They will hear what you say, they will hear what you say
They will take your attention, just take your attention
And then turn away, and then turn away
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
Just one thing before you go my ladies of the night
Just one thing i have to say i've got you, and you're
Confident and debonair you move between the stars
Hungry for those staring eyes that fill your waking hours
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
Your face is all run dry with all the echoes of the night
And so i'm home alone, i wash my head and hold on tight
If you speak the right words, if you speak the right words
They will hear what you say, they will hear what you say
They will take your attention, just take your attention
And then turn away, and then turn away
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
10.I Didn't Mean It
( john david )
When you say those words, those three little words
You're in at the deep end
Give up the night times, give up the high times
Give up the weekend
Give up the chance to be your own man
Let the feeling take over
The only way out is to lie if you can
But you don't have the knack
And you'll come crawling back, saying
I didn't mean it, i didn't mean it
I didn't mean to say what i said when i said i didn't mean it
I didn't mean it, i didn't mean it
I didn't mean to say what i said it was only a game
I didn't mean it, i didn't mean it
I didn't mean to tell you in so many words, i didn't mean it
I felt tied down, my pride down
That i put that lie down
The prize now for you is me
Well i was like you and all i could do was
Give up and surrender
The people can trace what they did in my face
But they're just pretenders
They told me mercenary action today
Is a line as simple and pure
But what if you found you made a mistake
The medicine's worse than the cure
And you'll be back for sure, saying
I didn't mean it, i didn't mean it
I didn't mean to say what i said when i said i didn't mean it
I didn't mean it, i didn't mean it
I didn't mean to say what i said it was only a game
I didn't mean it, i didn't mean it
I didn't mean to tell you in so many words, i didn't mean it
I felt tied down, my pride down
That i put that lie down
The prize now for you is me
Give up the chance to be your own man
Let the feeling take over
The only way out is to lie if you can
But you don't have the knack
And you'll come crawling back, saying
I didn't mean it, i didn't mean it
I didn't mean to say what i said when i said i didn't mean it
I didn't mean it, i didn't mean it
I didn't mean to say what i said it was only a game
I didn't mean it, i didn't mean it
I didn't mean to tell you in so many words, i didn't mean it
I felt tied down, my pride down
That i put that lie down
The prize now for you is me
11.In The Army Now
a vacation in a forreign land
Uncle sam does the best he can
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
Now you remember what the draftman said
Nothing to do all day but stay in bed
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
You be the hero of thw neiborhood
Nobody knows that you left for good
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
Smiling faces as you wait to land
But once you get there no one gives a damn
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
Hand grenades flying over your head
Missiles flying over your head
If you want to survive get out of bed
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
Shots ring out in the dad of night
The sergant calls (stand up and fight)
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
You've got your orders better shoot on sight
Your finger's on the trigger
But it don't seem right
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
Night is falling and you just can't see
Is this illusion or reality
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
12.Marguerita Time
( rossi ／ frost )
Captured my heart
Captured my memory
Captured a time for me
I could see
A time for me
Is gonna be
Deep in my heart
Deep in my memory
Deep in a part of me
Heart of me
Meant to be history
Could it be that i'm still wondering
I never knew what had happened to me
I didn't think it was true
That i could be just like anyone else
I'll take my chance with you
Picture a dream
Picture a fantasy
Picture a mood of me
Mystery you and me a mystery
Lost in a dream
Lost in a fantasy
Lost in what seemed to be
Dreams to be
Seemed to be
Had to be
Couldn't find no other reason
I never knew what had happened to me
I didn't think it was true
That i could be just like anyone else
I'll take my chance with you
Lets have a drink
It's marguerita time
It's marguerita time
After nine
Summer time
Any time
You'll still always find me wondering
I never knew what had happened to me
I didn't think it was true
That i could be just like anyone else
I'll take my chance with you
13.Ol' Rag Blues
( lancaster ／ lamb )
When you look into a mirror tell me what do you see？
Is it pictures of lily crying, you know what i mean？
I've been livin' high, i've been livin' low
Like a bird in the sky this is the way to go
What you gonna do with those faded blues you wear？
What you gonna do with those ol' rag blues？
What you gonna do with those ol' blue jeans you wear？
Ol' rag blues, ol' rag blues, ol' rag blues
Did you think it was forever？ well now you know
The summer sun keeps shining, shine through the blue
I've been livin' high, i've been livin' low
Never give up tryin', oh no, no, no
What you gonna do with those faded blues you wear？
What you gonna do with those ol' rag blues？
What you gonna do with those ol' blue jeans you wear？
Ol' rag blues, ol' rag blues, ol' rag blues
I can hear you callin' somewhere in the blue
Can you hear me callin' for you？ for you？
What you gonna do with those ol' blue jeans you wear？
Ol' rag blues, ol' rag blues, ol' rag blues
14.Red Sky
( david )
I was out on the highway
I was out on my feet
I was tired and hungry
I was late for the meet
I had a red sky behind me
I had the bad guys on my tail
I had a hundred different reasons
To keep me falling away
I had a red sky behind me
With the stars coming into view
And the thought that kept me going
Was soon i'm gonna make it with you
I had the desert on both sides now
I had the lights in my eyes
Of the town i remember
Up ahead in the cold black sky
I had a red sky behind me
I had the bad guys on my tail
I had a hundred different reasons
To keep me falling away
I had a red sky behind me
With the stars coming into view
And the thought that kept me going
Was soon i'm gonna make it with you
Well i remember that old saying
'bout how good tomorrow will be
But will i be lucky to see
With a red sky's lucky for me
In my dreams there is a picture
Of me in a big gold frame
And the poeple that i've never seen
Are pointing at my name
I had a red sky behind me
I had the bad guys on my tail
I had a hundred different reasons
To keep me falling away
I had a red sky behind me
With the stars coming into view
And the thought that kept me going
Was soon i'm gonna make it with you
I had a red sky behind me
With the stars coming into view
And the thought that kept me going
Was soon i'm gonna make it with you
Red sky...
Red sky...
Red sky...
15.Rock 'n' Roll
16.Rollin' Home
( david )
I left my home one day
For the sake of better pay
In a forreign land 12 centuries back in time
Where the sun keeps burning down
On the hole drilled in the ground
And i dream of the girl i left behind
Well i signed the dotted line
And i thought in a few years time
I'd be home and we can start a brand new life
But everything went wrong
And i just don't know how long
They will make me stay to pay for my crime
And i wish i was
Rollin'home, rollin'home
Home to the place i long to be
Oh, oh, oh, rollin'home, rollin'home
There's someone waiting there for me
There's a law that rules this land
That i just didn't understand
I didn't know that i was doing wrong
But they don't seem to care
And they all do it when they're over there
But here your face is justice of their god
And i wish i was
Rollin'home, rollin'home
Home to the place i long to be
Oh, oh, oh, rollin'home, rollin'home
There's someone waiting there for me
All the money that i've saved
To pay for better days
Just can't make up for how i miss you so
There's no consolation prize
Oh, but when i close my eyes
I'm dreaming of you in our new home
And i wish i was
Rollin'home, rollin'home
Home to the place i long to be
Oh, oh, oh, rollin'home, rollin'home
There's someone waiting there for me
Rollin'home there's somone waiting for me
Rollin'home there's somone waiting for me
17.The Wanderer
i'm the type of guy who never settles down
Where pretty girls are, you'll know that i'm around
I kiss 'em and i love 'em 'cause to me they're all the same
I hug 'em and i squeeze 'em, they don't even know my name
They call me the wanderer, yeah, wanderer
I roam round and round and round and round
There's flo on my left and there's mary on my right
And janie is the girl
That'll be with tonight
And when she asks me which one i love the best
I tear open my shirt and show
Rosie on my chest
'cause i'm the wanderer, yeah, wanderer
I roam round and round and round and round
(bridge)
Well, i roam from town to town
Live life without a care
I'm as happy as a clown
With my 2 fists of iron but i'm goin' nowhere
I'm the type of guy that likes to roam around
I'm never in one place;
I roam from town to town
And when i find myself a-fallin' for some girl
I hop right into that car of mine and drive around the world
'cause i'm the wanderer, yeah, wanderer
I roam round and round and round and round
