1.Boys Night Out

(t. b. schmit/w. jennings/b. gaitsch)

They're in the heat in the heart of the city
Big wind out of mexico
There's a girl wants it bad as me
And i'll be right there when she lets me go.

So let it all come down
Don't care where we're going
Trouble in this town
It's just what i need

Tired of looking back
No one lives forever
Jumping off the track
It feels good to me

Don't you know it turns your blood to wine
When you're moving so fine
It's the boys night out
You can run those lights
You can leave them on bright
It's the boys night out

Kept it straight just as long as i had to
Now i've got to let it ride
There's a girl who needs love so bad
And when i'm with her i feel alive

I her she's got some friends
They know how to use it
Oh, it never ends
You know what i mean

Any beat you choose
They can find the rhythm
They'll show us some moves
We've never seen

Don't you know it turns your blood to wine

There's a war between good and evil
It's not to hard to realize
There's no way you can beat the devil
'til you look him straight in the eyes


2.Don't Give Up

(t. b. schmit)

Living in the city it's a hazy way
Picking up the pieces that get in my way
But one thing i can clearly see
That's when you're looking, looking straight into me
Don't you know it
Won't you show it

Don't give up
Baby watcha trying to do
Don't give up
Just cause you're feeling blue
Don't give up
Girl you gotta understand
Don't give up
I can lend a helping hand

I can feel your confusion 'round and 'round
Staring out the window, hearing the sound
Of people, people talking about
What they know nothing, nothing about
Can't you see it
Don't you feel it

Don't give up...

Do you think you're the only girl whose been troubled
And on the run
Well listen to me one time baby
You and me, we're gonna see the sun

Don't give up


3.Hold Me In Your Heart

(t. b. schmit/w. jennings/b. gaitsch)

I will live just as long as you want me
In your arms where no bad dreams haunt me
I can live just as long as you're there
And you care--i feel it everywhere

In a world that i never will understand
All i know is we're all just passing by
In your arms is the one place that i'm not afraid
Of dying...

Hold me in you
Hold me in your heart
Hold me in you
Hold me in your heart

In a time when it's all so confusing
We can win and it feels like losing
Try to love...we don't know...what is love?
Try to live and don't know life at all

There are nights that i never think i'll live through
There are days i don't know what i'll do
I keep on for your love makes me want to live
One more moment

Hold me in you
Hold me in your heart
Hold me in you
Hold me in your heart

Deep in the midnight you are there to hear my cries
You are the good light shining 'til the darkness dies
Long as we're together
I'll keep on forever

Hold me in you
Hold me in your heart
Hold me in you
Hold me in your heart


4.Everybody Needs A Lover

(t. b. schmit/w. jennings/b. gaitsch)

Sadie made it down in hollywood
She worked real hard and she did real good
Now the years are finally coming down
Oh, though she owns this whole town

She's living and she's dying
She spent her whole time trying
Seems like even when you do it
Then you find out you can go right through it

Everybody needs a lover
Everybody needs a friend
Everybody needs a lover
To keep them moving 'til the end

Stevie won it all in rock and roll
Had it right down in his soul
Still has to face the day
Oh, some blues won't play

He's living and he's dying
He's spent his whole life trying
Seems like even when you do it
Then you find out you can go right through it

Everybody needs a lover
Everybody needs a friend
Everybody needs a lover
To keep them moving 'til the end

Buy the papers and i read them all day
Wonder when they're gonna blow it away
Working hard just to keep myself sane
But some days it's all pain

Everybody needs a lover
Everybody needs a friend
Everybody needs a lover
To keep them moving 'til the end


5.Into The Night

(t. b. schmit)

Keep on talking--i'll start walking
Don't care about the things you say
I've had enough of your bad love
Can't take it for another day

Even though you had me thinkin'
Everything was all right
Why do i cry

Into the night
Come on baby
Check out everything in sight
Into the night
Where you gonna go, can you tell me
When you're running into the night

Everyday now--i don't know how
I fall into the same old thing
First you tell me sincerely
You're gonna be my every dream

Then you turn around like fire
Making sure the time's right
Then you're gone like the wind

Into the night
Come on baby
Check out everything in sight
Into the night
Where you gonna go, can you tell me
When you're running into the night

Then i see you walk to the door
Nothing can make you stay
Don't know what to say anymore
You just fade away
Into the night...


6.A Better Day Is Coming

(t. b. schmit/w. jennings/b. gaitsch)

Yesterday i walked a mean street
Looking for a long lost heart beat
Came upon a poor music man just singing

God brought it all together
How we used to play forever
I felt every song i've sung come ringing

You know it's been so long since i felt it in my soul
But from this day on my life is on a roll
If someone stands up just to let the spirit flow
Then a better day is coming

I came home and shared my feeling
You said there's a new world stealing
Open up and let the light just fill us

You know it's been so long since we felt it in our soul
But from this day on our life is on a roll
If we all stand up just to let the spirit flow
Then a better day is coming

There's a world unseen though we know it very well
Where there's harmony that no one can buy and sell
When our voices rise in the innocence of song
Then a better day is coming

We held on through some awful years
We can wait 'til our day appears

You know it's been so long since we felt it in our soul
But from this day on our life is on a roll
If we all stand up just to let the spirit flow
Then a better day is coming

And in this broken world where we have so much to grieve
We must try so hard to believe what we believe
If we keep a dream of how good it all can be
Then a better day is coming

You know it's been so long since i felt it in my soul
But from this day on my life is on a roll
If someone stands up just to let the spirit flow
Then a better day is coming

And in this world of grieving
We must try believing
If we keep our dreams
Then a better day is coming

A better day is coming
Brighter world is dawning
If we all stand up


7.Jazz Street

(t. b. schmit/w. jennings/b. gaitsch)

When the feeling is lost i can find it
I go down to a street i know
It's a place where they live to unwind it
They lay back and just keep rolling

Sax man steps right out
Doesn't care who hears it

Gypsy bass picks a place where it's working
The drummer lays out some real life rhythm

When this old soul needs clearing
I stay until they bring me back

It ain't the radio
Living to play, you know
Down on jazz street
(meet me down on jazz street, yeah)
This ain't your hollywood
They really do it good
Down on jazz street

Down on jazz street there's one kind of people
Love the truth and they hate the jive
It's a church though it don't have a steeple
They're the ones who know what this life is

Down here they step out
They don't care who feels it

Every time they set me (to) flying
Seen them raise up the dead and dying
When your old heart is weary
They'll give you everything you lack
So when your soul needs clearing
Go down where they can bring you back

It ain't the radio
Living to play, you know
Down on jazz street


8.I Guess We'll Go On Living

(t. b. schmit/w. jennings/b. gaitsch)

Seems like these days love's a dangerous thing
Is it a gift or curse that you bring?
Oh love...so many dreams will die

But i go on with all the hope in my heart
Though i know life can just tear me apart
Funny old road and i know it will bend
Maybe rainbows shining there at the end

I know a girl who just gave it away
She says it's hard when there's no one who'll stay
These days...oh i have heard her cry

But she writes songs about the way that she feels
And i hear them and i believe they are real
She is so strong that i feel it in me
And she's right there where she always will be

I guess we'll go on living
Give it all 'til it all starts giving
Walk through this pain and sorrow
Just to feel one more tomorrow
I guess we'll go on living

Oh lovers who gave life to me
I hope they're all happy as they can be
Oh how the years go by

There's a sweet wind blowing out of the west
So i breathe in and know i'm still blessed
I never know what the next day will be
But i'll get up just so i can see

While there is music inside you and me
I guess we'll go on living


9.Down Here People Dance Forever

(t. b. schmit/w. jennings/b. gaitsch)

Night on a street without memories
In a club without a name
Here people have no tomorrow
And the dance is not a game

You let me feel all the night inside you
What could i do?
I made a place for me there beside you
Now the dance is never through

'cause we soon found out
Down here people dance forever
It's a haunting sight to see
It's their one way out
Down here people dance forever
While you're dancing you are free

Life comes to us through the music
Feel the heartbeat in the drum
Life, this is no time to lose it
Please don't let the morning come

I got a message from tomorrow
I'm overdue
I sent a message to tomorrow
I will be there when the dance is through

But i know right now
Down here people dance forever
It's a haunting sight to see
It's their one way out
Down here people dance forever
While you're dancing you are free

And you'll soon find out
Down here people dance forever...
