1. CHILDREN OF THE FUTURE

We are children of the future
Wonder where this world is going to, going to
We are children of the future
Wonder what in this world we are going to do, going to do

When they get high
They can see for miles and miles
When i get high
I can see myself for miles

You know i've got something that you can use
It takes a little bit of lovin'
A little bit of huggin'
A little bit of lovin'
A little bit of huggin

And if you don't think that you can find
And if you don't think that it's peace of mind


2. PUSHED ME TO IT

Thought i didn't need you
You pushed me to it
But i was wrong, girl
Yeah, you didn't do it
My friends tried to tell me
But i was blind
All i can say, babe
I didn't mean to be unkind


3. YOUVE GOT THE POWER

You've got the power
To open the door
You've got the power
It's been done before
Once you get there
You're sure to see
You open your eyes
And love will be easy

Cause there's someone who wants you
Someone to love and please you
Cause there's someone who needs you
Ooooohhhh


4. IN MY FIRST MIND

Singing a song of love
Growing each day
Knowing how it's been
Living for today
I wanted to love you, babe
I swear i do know how
To go back is pointless
Understand this now

Our time, it hasn't been too long
It all seems to drift away
No more the past
It's the future
That i'm living for today
And if it's not getting you
Where ever you need to go
There's still a place in my heart
If you did not know this is so

In my first mind
You are so fine
All the good things you do
Are in my own time

In my second mind
I can see you grow
Feel you flow
It moves my soul, yeah


5. THE BEAUTY OF TIME IS THAT ITS SNOWING (PSYCHEDELIC B.B.)

We are children of the future
We are children of the future
We are children of the future


6. BABYS CALLINME HOME

Baby's callin' me home
She keeps on callin' me home
Hate to see her cryin'
My baby knows i'm dyin'
But she keeps on callin' me home

Baby knows i've been wrong
But she keeps on callin' me home
Hate to see her cryin'
My baby knows i'm dyin'
When she keeps on callin' me home

Baby's callin' me home
She keeps on callin' me home
Hate to see her cryin'
My baby knows i'm dyin'
When she keeps on callin' me home
My baby's callin' me home
Mmmmm
My baby's callin' me home


7. STEPPINSTONE

I was your steppin' stone
I was your little dog's bone
But now you've made it without me
You know all about me
And that's all right

You cry
The whole night long
I try
Love's right and wrong
And now the sun's sleepin' through
And it's down on you, too
It's just not fair

Now what is right is right
And what's done's done
But before you come 'round my door, woman
Gonna see where you're comin' from
Better count up your change
And put a smile on your mind
Before you want away for any more of my time
I couldn't have loved you better
I could have loved you worse
I know what comes last baby
And you've known it from the first

I was your steppin' stone
I was your little dog's bone
But now you've made it without me
You know all about me
And that's all right


8. ROLL WITH IT

There's a plane goin' down the runway
Believe i better go with with it
There's a train goin' by the highway
Believe i better roll with it

I don't know what's got into me
All i know is i've got to be free
Take off all these chains that bind me
Once i'm gone, you'll never find me

Did she love you
Mmmm hmmm
Did she need you
Mmmm hmmm
Did she please you
Mmmm hmmm
Did she leave you
Mmmm hmmm

Iiii, iiii, iiii, iiii
Iiii, iiii, iiii, iiii


9. JUNIOR SAW IT HAPPEN

My sweet child was seen across town
With some stranger man
She had a smile on her face
Looked out of place
Suitcase was in her hand

Junior saw it happen
Why didn't i listen to you, hey
Whoa, ohh
Whoa, {??}
Whoa, ohh
Whoa, now she's down the tracks with him

I remember on the day she left me
That's one thing i'll never forget
In the apartment we owned
All she left was a phone
And a broken down tv set

Junior saw it happen
Why didn't i listen to you, hey
Whoa, ohh
Whoa, {??}
Whoa, na na na na na
Whoa, now she's down the tracks with him

Didn't believe it when i first got word
But boy, i sure do now
I couldn't face it, my mind wouldn't take it
It didn't make sense somehow
Because i thought you was happy
With the way we lived
And the things that we used to do
Whoa, no no no
Whoa, {??}
Whoa, no no no no
Whoa, now she's down the tracks with him


10. FANNY MAE

I know, my baby told me so
Yes, i know, my baby told me so
She said i'm leavin' you, daddy
Got such a long way to go

Well, i can hear your {??} ringin', baby all down that line
Yes i can hear your {??} ringin', baby all down that line
And when i hear your {??} ringin'
I know you're not far behind

Fanny mae, baby won't you please come home
Now i'm so tired livin' all alone


11. KEY TO THE HIGHWAY

By:bill broonzy and charles segar

I've got the key to the highway
I am bound to go
I'm gonna roam this highway
Till my dying day

When the moon peeks over the mountain
Honey, i'll be on my way
I'm gonna roam this highway
Till my dying day

Give me one more, one more kiss mama
Just before i go
Cause when i leave here, baby
I won't be back, no i won't be back anymore

Mmmm, to the highway
Oh, lord, i'm out and bound to go
I'm gonna leave here running
Cause walking's much too slow
