1.Don't Make No Sense


2.Good To Ya Baby


3.Shelter Me

The earth can shake the sky come down*
The mountains all fall to the ground
But I will fear none of these things
Shelter me lord underneath your wings

Dark waters rise and thunder pounds
The wheels of war are going round
And all the walls are crumbling
Shelter me lord underneath your wings
Shelter me lord underneath your wings

Hide me underneath your wings
Hide me deep inside your heart
In your refuge - cover me
The world can shake
But lord I'm making you my hiding place

The wind can blow the rain can pour
The deluge breaks the tempest roars
But in the storm my spirit sing
Oh shelter me lord underneath your wing
Shelter me lord underneath your wing

Hide me underneath your wings
Hide me deep inside your heart
In your refuge - cover me
The world can shake
But lord I'm making you my hiding place

Now on the day you call for me
Someday when time - no more shall be
I'll say death where is your sting
Shelter me lord underneath your wing
Shelter me lord underneath your wing

Hide me underneath your wings
Hide me deep inside your heart
In your refuge - cover me
The world can shake
But lord I'm making you my hiding place

Now on the day you call for me
Someday when time - no more shall be
I'll say oh death where is your sting
Oh shelter me lord underneath your wings
I say shelter me lord underneath your wing
Shelter me lord underneath your wing

5.For What It's Worth

Something's happening here
What it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware

I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

Battle lines bein' drawn
Nobody's right if everyon's wrong
People speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind

Yeah, stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

What a field day for the heat
Ten thousand people in the street
Singing songs and carrying signs
Mostly say, 'Hooray for our side!'

I think it's time we stop
Children, what' that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

Paranoia strikes deep
Into your life it will creep
It starts when you're always afraid
Step out of line the man's coming to take you away

Yeah, stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
Stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down

Stop, hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look what's going down
You better stop

Stop
You better stop
Stop
You better stop


6.Midnight And Lonesome


7.Sac-Au-Lait- Fishing

There's somethin' in the water that's callin' my name. If I work
another hour I'mma go insane. Driftin' to the places I would
rather be... In my boat under a cypress tree.

(Chorus)
Hey, they're gonna see me comin' before the sun dries the
mornin' dew. Hey, you know I can't wait to go Sac-au-lait
fishin' down on whiskey bayou.
(End Chorus)

There's some good Cajun music on the radio. Every Sunday mornin'
it's a Fais do-do.
The birds in the trees seem to know this song. I pop a crop to
the beat while they're singin' along.

(Chorus)

Hey...

One more cast before the sun goes down.
That's just about the time the alligator come 'round. My baby,
she's a'waitin' and she's all alone. But if I keep gettin'
nibbles, I may never go home.

(Chorus)

(Chorus)

(Chorus)


8.Somebody's Got To Go


9.I'm Guilty Of Lovin You

It's over now, it's in the past, and we said our goodbyes.
What went wrong, I'll never know,
I guess we had some good times.
You tried to explain it, oh, let me down slow.
How I wish I could change it.
I can't help it, these feelings... just won't let go.

When the night closes in,
and the heartache begins,
just remember, I'm only guilty
of loving you...

I wish the rain would go away, from outside my window.
Each passing day reminds me, of how much I miss you.
Since you said you were leaving,
hmm, I'm so empty inside.
I refuse to believe it. If only we could be together again.

When the night closes in,
and the heartache begins,
just remember, I'm only guilty
of loving you...

Solo...

When the night closes in,
and the heartache begins,
just remember, I'm only guilty
of loving you... oh, baby.

When the night closes in,
and the heartache, heartache, begins,
just remember, I'm only guilty
of loving you...

Just remember, I'm only guilty of loving you....

11.One Foot In The Bayou

Diamong Rings, Limosines,
Down home girl, Uptown dreams
Penthouse suites, Broadway shows
They just don't move her like zydeco
She's goin up to the city, she don't know what to do
She's got one foot in New York City and one foot in the bayou

Taxi cabs, traffic jams
Sure do miss her candied yams
She packed her bags, you shoulda seen
That big suitcase full of turnip greens
She's goin up to the city, still got mud on her shoes
She's got one foot in New York City and one foot in the bayou

If she's gone I wish her well
She might come home you just can't tell
But if she runs out of of luck, I'll drive right up and get her
in my truck
She's goin up to the city, she don't know what to do
She was born and raised in Morgan City, still got mud on her
shoes
She got one foot in New York, One foot in the bayou


If she's gone I wish her well
She might come home you just can't tell
But if she runs out of of luck, I'm gonna drive right up and get
her in my truck
She's goin up to the city, she don't know what to do
She was born and raised in Morgan City, still got mud on her
shoes
She got one foot in New York yall, One foot in the bayou
Yea, she's got one foot in New York City, one foot in the bayou

She's got one foot in New York City, one foot in the Bayou
