1. DEATH IN THE WILDERNESS

Death in the wilderness
It's a hopeless case I guess
Who's looking out for the wilder side
It will soon all be gone
You can tell it won't be long
We'll find the wilderness has died

We'll be the lonely one
Concrete, plastic human throng
Tellin' one another have you heard the news
We'll mow it down, we'll rape the ground
'Til there's nothing left to abuse
The rabbit, he'll be gone
The bird will sing no song
The wolf, the bear, the lion too
The insect far and near, creatures like the deer
We'll put in cages a the zoo

Death in the wilderness
It's a hopeless case I guess
Who's looking out for the wilder side
It will soon all be gone
You can tell it won't be long
We'll find the wilderness has died

The stream will all dry out
The fish, gone no doubt
We'll have no animals to fear
The tree will be no more
We'll use it to build the store
Mountain scene will disappear
These changes takin' place
Will affect the human race
We'll all know it when it's gone
God save this planet now
We've got to help somehow
We've left it happen way too long

Death in the wilderness
It's a hopeless case I guess
Who's looking out for the wilder side
It will soon all be gone
You can tell it won't be long
We'll find the wilderness has died
We'll find the wilderness has died


2. IT'S HARD TO TELL

It's hard to tell
With a casual look
Can you read his mind
Like an open book
When you cross the room
Can you feel his eyes
Is he the one
Gonna make your night

It's hard to tell
Where your next love lies
It's hard to tell
If the feeling's there
Do you seize the moment
Or should you beware
Is he the one
Does it feel just right
When you're face to face
Should you act surprised

It's hard to tell
Where your next love lies
Will he want your number
Will he want your name
Are you going to panic
Or play the game
Will he call tomorrow
Will he call tonight

It's hard to tell
Where your next love lies

It's hard to tell
If he's for real
Mysterious ways
He makes you feel
Is he the one
Does it feel just right

It's hard to tell
Where your next love lies


3. DAYS GO BY

When you light that funny cigarette
Would you pass it back to me
I'm feeling a little down and out
And it'll keep me company
I'm just a long lost sinner
Living life here on the line
I'll give it right back to you
I know it's not really mine
Now don't put it out, not right yet
It's burning pretty good
Maybe I'll have one more toke
You think I should

OO-oo, days go by

I just sit around and get real high
OO-oo, what a glow
I just hang out, they come and go
Hey, the walls are starting to move
The floor is way down there
What a buzz it is
There's electricity in the air
Boy, I'm feeling really gone
I'm feeling really cool
I think I'll have another one
I'm just another fool
You know they say it's illegal
But what isn't these days
No matter what you do
There'll be somebody on your case
OO-oo, days go by
It just seems like I sit around and get high

OO-oo, shame on me

They're going to put me in a penitentiary
I must not be together
Look at the shape I'm in
I just know people are saying
"He's looking awful thin"
I guess I can count my blessings
Though I've always been this way
I guess I'll quit tomorrow
Maybe another day

OO-oo, days go by

I guess I'll sit around and get real high
You know time has no absolute
It's a just seems like it's spent
Everything has a tendency to be so warped and bent
While looking here and there
I'm surprised to see
Everybody's gone here
Everybody's gone but me

OO-oo, days go by

I just sit around and get real high

OO-oo, what a glow

I just hang out, they come and go


4. LOW DOWN

Low down, low down dirty shame
Low down, low down dirty shame

I've had nothing but the blues
Since I heard your name
No more, no more blues today
No more, no more blues today
I've been fond of you baby
But you got me crying everyday
I've been waiting, waiting so long for you
Waiting, waiting so long for you
It was good news sometimes
And then sometimes, it was bad news

Low down, low down dirty shame
Low down, low down dirty shame

I've had nothing but the blues
Since I heard your name
I've been crying, crying, crying all night long
Crying, crying all night long
I had nothing but the blues
Since you came along

Low down, low down dirty shame
Low down, low down dirty shame


5. THIS TOWN

This town I live in ain't fit for man or beast
This town I live in ain't fit for man or beast
There's a man down here, a man down there
They all want to rob you or take you somewhere
This town I live in ain't fit for man or beast
I'm going down to the store, boy

And get myself a dog
I'm going down to the store, boy
And get myself a dog
I'm going to chain, chain, chain him
Up to my fence
Make him bark, bark, bark

Understand my French
I'm going down to the store, boy
And get myself a dog
If I had a hundred dollars
I'd buy myself a gun
If I had a hundred dollars

I'd buy myself a gun
I'd stick it out the door
And wait for an attack
I'll need somebody just to cover my back
If I had a hundred dollars
I'd buy myself a gun

The moral of the story
You better watch where you go
The moral of the story, boy
You better watch out where you go
They'll get you in the morning
They'll get you at night

Some, then want to rob you
But most, they want to fight

This town I live in, I got to go
This town I live in
This town I live in, I got to go


6. GUITAR MAN

Guitar man, tell me what your secret am
Tell me please, can you put my mind at ease
When you're standing in the spotlight
With all the girls around
I was wondering how you do it

How you make that sound, guitar man
Tell me what your secret am
Tell me please, can you put my mind at ease
Your fingers move so swiftly
Across those silver strings

It looks so nice and easy
How you make it sing, guitar man
Tell me what your secret am
Tell me please, can you put my mind at ease
Guitar man, in a guitar jam

Playing low, playing slow
Playing loud, working the crowd
Playing high, you seem to fly
Guitar man, tell me what your secret am
Uh, hey man, have you seen my Stratocaster

Hand me that Gibson over there, will you
Let my try your Martin, man
Do you mind
Plug it in that Marshall
Turn it up a little bit louder


7. IF I HAD A ROCKET

If I had me a rocket
I'd fly off to the moon

If I had me a rocket, boy
I'd fly off to the moon

It's getting so crowded here
I can't find no room
People, lots of people
Coming out of the walls
People, lots of people
Coming out of the walls
When there's too many people

Ain't no room at all
You can't hide out no more
Satellite will track you down
You can't hide out no more
Satellite will track you down
You can't run from your neighbors
There's a neighbors all around

If I had me a rocket
I'd fly off to the moon

If I had me a rocket, boy
I'd fly off to the moon

It's getting so crowded here
I can't find no room


8. PERFECT WOMAN

Got me a woman, boy she's fine
Love me in the morning, love me at night
One thing about her I think is cool
A perfect woman, she's got no rules
Soft to the touch, silky smooth
She got everything a man could use
Ain't no doubt about it, when we make love
She's good down under, she's good up above
She's a perfect woman, she's fine

I want to make love to her all the time

Perfect woman, when we make love
She's good down under, she's good up above
She's a-ready, she's a-willin'
She's got that thing
Ordinary man
Feel like a king
She's got her hand on love for shure
Forget your troubles, boy
She's got the cure
She's a perfect woman
She's fine

I want to make love to her all the time

Perfect woman, when we make love
She's good down under, she's good up above
She's a perfect woman
When we make love
She's good down under, she's good up above


9. OLD BLUE

I had an old dog, and his name was Blue
Bet your life he was a good dog too
Blue chased a possum up a hollow limb
Possum won, got the best of him

Bye-bye Blue
You good dog, you

Bye-bye Blue
You good dog, you

Blue he died, and he died so hard
He shook the ground in my backyard
We lowered him down with a golden chain
Every link we'd call his name
Bye-bye Blue
You good dog, you

Bye-bye Blue
You good dog, you

My old Blue was a good old hound
You could hear him holler for miles around
When I get to heaven, first thing I'll do
I'll grab my horn and call Old Blue

Bye-bye Blue
You good dog, you

Bye-bye Blue
You good dog, you

Bye-bye Blue
You good dog, you

Bye-bye Blue
You good dog, you

Bye-bye Blue


10. DOCTOR TOLD ME

Well my heart ain't in it
My mind is blank
Can't seem to function
Can't seem to think
Doctor told me cure your ills

Get yourself a woman boy that'll pay your bills
Have her clean your house, make your bed
Rub your bottom down, hold your head
Get yourself a lover, a friend and a wife
Get yourself a woman boy, get yourself a life

Doctor told me
Doctor told me
Doctor told me get yourself a life

Well, I got out on the street and I looked around
here come a woman, she was fine and brown
I said "Come here baby, my name is Bob
I'm a long, tall lover, but I ain't got no job"

Doctor told me (I told her)
Doctor told me
Doctor told me get yourself a life

Well she looked at me with a sparkle in her eye
Told me I was crazy, told me I was high
"Get outta here", she said, "or I'll cut you with my knife"
You better be gone boy, get yourself a life

Doctor told me
Doctor told me (I told her)
Doctor told me get yourself a life

Here I'm standin' 'round a lonesome old house
Ain't got nobody, ain't got no spouse
I sure fell bad, i sure feel blue
One thing I sure feel, I'm sure needin' you

Doctor told me
Doctor told me
Doctor told me get yourself a life


11. MISS 01'ST LOUIS

Miss ol' St. Louie, wish I was back
Picking my guitar by the railroad track
All them pretty womens, hangin' 'round me
Miss ol' St. Louie, how it used to be
Mississippi River, water so deep
Running down to Memphis on to New Orleans

Trying to hustle quarters, nickels, and dimes
Ol' St. Louie's where I spent my time
Standing on the corner with my old wooden box
Watching them steam boats gather at the dock
Cotton and tobacco and people for sale
Trying to stay clear of the St. Louie jail

Strumming to the rythm of an old freight train
Ol' St. Louie's where I played my game
Ain't no doubt about it, wish I was back
Picking my guitar by the railroad track
All them pretty womens, hangin' 'round me
Miss ol' St. Louie, how it used to be


12. NOBODY KNOWS

Words that we say could all be lies someday
Scattered to the wind, I don't know
Things that we trust could crumble into dust
No one can really say it ain't so

When you go over a mountain
When you're looking down the road
When you think you're going backwards

It's all in vain, it seems insane
When you ask, nobody knows
If our actions seem in doubt
By the way we move about

Seems like we're always on the run
Our mark is just a scratch
Like holding up a match
And trying to see the burn against the sun

When we're going over a mountain
When we're looking down the road

If you think you're going backwards
It's all in vain, it seems insane
When you ask, nobody knows
When all our days are gone

You can catch us with a song
Something that seemed almost right
We've known love and joy
Eternity's been our toy
Something to play with in the night

When we're going over a mountain
When we're looking down the road

If you think you're going backwards
It's all in vain, it seems insane

When you ask, nobody knows
When I go over my mountain
When I'm looking down the road

If I think I'm going backwards
It's all in vain, it seems insane

When I ask, nobody knows
