2.Never Been To Spain(Live / 1973)

Well I never been to Spain
But I kinda like the music
Say the ladies are insane there
And they sure know how to use it
They don't abuse it
Never gonna lose it
I can't refuse it

Well I never been to England
But I kinda like the Beatles
Well, I headed for Las Vegas
Only made it out to Needles
Can you feel it
must be real it feels so good
Oh, feels so good

Well I never been to Heaven
But I been to Oklahoma
Well they tell me I was born there
But I really don't remember
In Oklahoma, not Arizona
What does it matter
What does it matter

Whoa, I never been to Spain
But I kinda like the music
Say the ladies are insane there
And they sure know how to use it
They don't abuse it
Never gonna lose it
I can't refuse it

Well I never been to Heaven
But I been to Oklahoma
Well they tell me I was born there
But I really don't remember
In Oklahoma, not Arizona
What does it matter
What does it matter


3.Going In Circles(Live / 1973)

Going in circles, don't really know
Where I have come from, where I will go
You say that you love me, and maybe you do
There's nothing that matters or anything new

I've been through a million trips in the night
Living with shadows, looking for light
And passing the faces, how lonely they seem
Looking for traces of yesterdays dream

Going in circles, been here before
Never expected anything more
Might die tomorrow, I might go to Spain
Dumb to the sorrow, numb to the pain

Circles.
Going in circles.
Circles.


4.The Family Of Man(Live / 1973)

This tired city was somebody's dream
A billboard horizon as black as they seem
A four level highway across the land
We're building a home for the family of man

Prices are rising
The devil's to pay,
Moving the mountains that got in the way,
Prayer books and meetings to find a plan,
deciding the fate of the family of man,


And it's so hard whatever are we coming to,
Yes it's so hard with so little time,
And so much to do


Memories replacing the loves that are lost
Burning our bridges as soon as they're crossed
Factories built where the rivers ran -
Time's running out for the family of man

So hard,,,

So hard, so hard, so hard, family of man, so hard, family of
man, so hard, family of man,so hard, family of man,so hard
family of man,,,


5.Midnight Runaway(Live / 1973)

Find my way back home. I don't know if I want to go.
All I want to know, can I keep doing all these shows? Yeah
Haven't got the time to worry over little things.
Fighting for some time to be alone, all alone.
Take you for a ride. I'll take you where you wanna go.
Are you ready for a ride? Make me feel that you want to go.
Can't they understand I'm tired of this business scene?
I gotta get away make me feel that I'm in a dream.

Won't you be my midnight runaway?
Won't cha take the time to runaway with me?
Feeling fine tonight, we'll runaway.
Should we head for the hills or to the sea?

They're messing with my head.
I need a little time to think.
Worryin' every night, can I float, will I sink?
Can't they understand? I'm tired of their ruthless game.
I gotta get away, or you know I'll go insane.

Won't you be my midnight runaway?
Won't cha take the time to runaway with me?
Feeling fine tonight, we'll runaway.
Should we head for the hills or to the sea?

Won't cha be my runaway?
Won't cha take the time to runaway with me?
Feelin' fine, let's runaway,
Should we head for the hills or to the sea?

Can't they understand,
Haven't got much time,
Ready for a ride?
Haven't got much time, can't they see?
Do, do they understand?
I need a helping hand,
I gotta get away, get away, yeah.
Awww.
Got to get to me.
Awww.
Can't, can't they understand why?
Don't they understand,
Can't, can't they understand why?
Oh, got to get away
Can't, can't they understand why?
Don't they understand...


6.Liar(Live / 1973)

I won't ever leave, you want me to stay
Nothing you can do, that could turn me away
Hangin on anyway
Believin the things you say, bein a fool
You've taken my life, so take my soul
That's what you said, and I believe it all
I want to be with you
as long as you want me to
But don't move away
Ain't that what you said?
Ain't that what you said?
Ain't that what you say?
Liar, Liar, Liar

We may see no night
We have see no day
If I ever leave, but you want me to stay
You can believe in me
I won't believe it, I won't let you go
Ain't that what you said?
Ain't that what you said?
Ain't that what you say?
Liar, Liar, Liar

You've taken my life, so take my soul
That's what you said but who are we to know
I want to be with you
Long as you want me to
But don't move away
Ain't that what you said?
Ain't that what you said?
Ain't that what you say?
Liar, Liar, Liar


7.Good Feeling 1957(Live / 1973)

Oooooh yea yea
Listen to me people
Money is fancy clothes
No I don't need none of that
All I need is a jungle hat
And a shirt upon my back
Give the feel of a country road
And a friend to pass the time
Let the sun shine down on me
And I'll sing upon your hippie time

Good old feelin' in my heart
Got a feelin'
That good old feelin' in my heart
Don't ya know, don't ya know I feel it
Good old feelin' in my heart
Good old feelin' in my heart
Good old feelin' in my heart

I remember when momma told me
When I was a little boy
She said my son your life won't always be easy
You will not always find joy
You got to listen to me people
Cause I live life day to day
No matter what I'm doing, or where I go
I take a little time to pray

Good old feelin' in my heart
Don't ya know the feelin'
That Good old feelin' in my heart
I got your feelin'
Good old feelin' in my heart
Can you feel my braces baby
Good old feelin' in my heart
Everybody walkin' round
I listen to them talk
Everybody's complainin' about livin'
Well people don't ya know the joyous life
Is not when you receive
So the next time around
Why don't you try a little giving

Well that good old feelin' in my heart
Can't get it out your head yea
That good old feelin' in my heart
Got to help me sometimes Lord
Good old feelin' in my heart
Yeah ohhhh
Good old feelin'
Good old feelin' in my heart
Good old feelin' in my heart
Good old feelin' in my heart
Good old feelin' in my heart
Good old feelin' in my heart
Good old feelin' in my heart
Good old feelin' in my heart
Good old feelin' in my heart

10.Joy To The World(Live / 1973)

Jeremiah was a bullfrog
Was a good friend of mine
I never understood a single word he said
But I helped him a-drink his wine
And he always had some mighty fine wine

Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

If I were the king of the world
Tell you what I'd do
I'd throw away the cars and the bars AND THE WARS
make sweet love to you
Singing...

Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

You know I love the ladies
Love to have my fun
I'm a hot night flier and a rainbow rider
A straight shootin' son-of-a-gun
I said a straight shootin' son-of-a-gun

Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the world
Joy to you and me

Joy to the world
All the boys and girls now
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me


11.Black And White(Live / 1973)

The ink is black, the page is white
Together we learn to read and write
A child is black, a child is white
The whole world looks upon the sight, a beautiful sight

And now a child can understand
That this is the law of all the land, all the land

The world is black, the world is white
It turns by day and then by night
A child is black, a child is white
Together they grow to see the light, to see the light

And now at last we plainly see
We'll have a dance of Liberty, Liberty!

The world is black, the world is white
It turns by day and then by night
A child is black, a child is white
The whole world looks upon the sight, a beautiful sight

The world is black, the world is white
It turns by day and then by night
A child is black, a child is white
Together they grow to see the light, to see the light

The world is black, the world is white
It turns by day and then by night
A child is black, a child is white
The whole world looks upon the sight, a beautiful sight

The world is black, the world is white
It turns by day and then by night
A child is black, a child is white
Together they grow to see the light, to see the light

C'mon, get it, get it
Ohh-ohhhh, yeah, yeah
Keep it up now, around the world
Little boys and little girls
Yeah, yeah-eah, oh-ohhh


12.Pieces Of April(Live / 1973)

April gave us springtime and the promise of the flowers
And the feeling that we both shared and the love that we called
ours
We knew no time for sadness, that's a road we each had crossed
We were living a time meant for us, and even when it would rain
we would laugh it off.

I've got pieces of April, I keep them in a memory bouquet
I've got pieces of April, it's a morning in May

We stood on the crest of summer, beneath an oak that blossomed
green
Feeling as I did in April, not really knowing what it means
But it must be then that you stand beside me now to make me feel
this way
Just as I did in April, but it's a morning in May.

I've got pieces of April, I keep them in a memory bouquet
I've got pieces of April, but it's a morning in May

I've got pieces of April, I keep them in a memory bouquet
I've got pieces of April, but it's a morning in May


13.Out In The Country(Live / 1973)

Whenever I need to leave it all behind
Or feel the need to get away-ay-ay
I find a quiet place, far from the human race
Out in the country

Before the breathin' air is gone
Before the sun is just a bright spot in the night-time
Out where the rivers like to run
I stand alone and take back somethin' worth rememberin'

Whenever I feel them closing in on me
Or need a bit of room to move
When life becomes too fast, I find relief at last
Out in the country

Before the breathin' air is gone
Before the sun is just a bright spot in the night-time
Out where the rivers like to run
I stand alone and take back somethin' worth rememberin'

------ organ ------

Before the breathin' air is gone
Before the sun is just a bright spot in the night-time
Out where the rivers like to run
I stand alone and take back somethin' worth rememberin'

Before the breathin' air is gone
Before the sun is just a bright spot in the night-time
Out where the rivers like to run
I stand alone and take back somethin' worth rememberin'

Before the breathin' air is gone
Before the sun is just a bright spot in the night-time
(fade)


14.Mama Told Me(Not To Come)(Live / 1973)

Want some whiskey in your water?
Sugar in your tea?
What's all these crazy questions they're askin' me?
This is the craziest party that could ever be
Don't turn on the lights 'cause I don't wanna see

Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
'That ain't the way to have fun, no'

Open up the window, let some air into this room
I think I'm almost chokin' from the smell of stale perfume
And that cigarette you're smokin' 'bout scare me half to death
Open up the window, sucker, let me catch my breath

Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
'That ain't the way to have fun, son'
'That ain't the way to have fun, son'

The radio is blastin', someone's knockin' at the door
I'm lookin' at my girlfriend - she's passed out on the floor
I seen so many things I ain't never seen before
Don't know what it is - I don't wanna see no more

Mama told me not to come
Mama told me not to come
She said, 'That ain't the way to have fun, son'

'That ain't the way to have fun, no'
KILL
'That ain't the way to have fun, no'
'That ain't the way to have fun, son'
'That ain't the way to have fun, no'
'That ain't the way to have fun, son'

'That ain't the way to have fun, no'
'That ain't the way to have fun, son'
'That ain't the way to have fun, no'
'That ain't the way to have fun, son'


15.Drum Solo(Live / 1973)


16.An Old Fashioned Love Song(Live / 1973)

Just an old-fashioned love song
Playin' on the radio
And wrapped around the music
Is the sound of someone promising they'll never go
You swear you've heard it before
As it slowly rambles on
No need in bringing 'em back
'Cause they're never really gone

Just an old-fashioned love song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me
Just an old-fashioned love song
Comin' down in three-part harmony

To weave our dreams upon and listen
To each evening when the lights are low
To underscore our love affair with tenderness and feelings
That we've come to know
You swear you've heard it before
As it slowly rambles on and on
No need in bringing 'em back
'Cause they're never really gone

Just an old-fashioned love song
Comin' down in three-part harmony
Just an old-fashioned love song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me
Just an old-fashioned love song
Comin' down in three-part harmony
Just an old-fashioned love song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me

To weave our dreams upon and listen to a song

Just an old song, comin' down
Just an old song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me
Just an old song, comin' down
Just an old song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me

Just an old-fashioned love song
Comin' down in three-part harmony
Just an old-fashioned love song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me

Just an old-fashioned love song
Comin' down in three-part harmony
Just an old-fashioned love song
One I'm sure they wrote for you and me


17.Jam(Live / 1973)

Ooh, I love you baby sometimes ain't too much
Lord, I got to have ya, love to feel your touch
I had you in the summertime, I loved you in the fall.
I got to take you home with me, I got to make you ball.
Do you feel all right, do you feel all right
