We’re here to love, oh, we’ve all got the power, ah, it’s our finest hour
Though the stars up in heaven keep shining down
From the ghetto to the holy land somebody’s needing somebody’s hand
And it’s time that we all understand we’re here to love.

Some will lose their soul to the power of gold and all that it may possess
They count their blessings by the things that they own
Never learning that more is less
But from the moment we’re born until the fading light
All the seasons that turn in between
It’s the love that you give and the hours you give
That’s the measure of the life that you lead.

We’re here to love, oh, we’ve all got the power, ah, it’s our finest hour
Though the stars up in heaven keep shining down
From the ghetto to the holy land somebody’s needing somebody’s hand
And it’s time that we all understand we’re here to love…

[chorus]
You’re just another mess, another late night call i shouldn’t be making
Just another high, another one night shot i shouldn’t be chasing
I got my excuses, no i don’t know why i do it but
You’re just another, just another thing i shouldn’t be doing
I shouldn’t be doing

[verse 2]
Just like smoking, just like drinking,
I’m a fool for ever thinking i’m done
Yeah, i always break that promise, if i’m honest it ain’t ever just one
Or two, when i’m running into you
I’m right back on that road, pushing that first domino

[chorus]
You’re just another mess, another late night call i shouldn’t be making
Just another high, another one night shot i shouldn’t be chasing
I got my excuses, no i don’t know why i do it but
You’re just another, just another thing i shouldn’t be doing
I shouldn’t be doing

[chorus]
Yeah you’re just another kiss, another friday night i shouldn’t be wasting
Just another “what you doing later on?” i shouldn’t be saying
I got my excuses, no i don’t know why i do it but
You’re just another, just another thing i shouldn’t be doing
I shouldn’t be doing, shouldn’t be doing, shouldn’t be doing

Before You Hit The Highway
You Better Stop For Gas
And There’s A 50 In The Ashtray
In Case You Run Short On Cash
Here’s A Map And Here’s A Bible
If You Ever Lose Your Way

Just One More Thing Before You Leave
Don’t Forget To Remember Me”

This Downtown Apartment Sure Makes Me Miss Home
And Those Bills There On The Counter
Keep Telling Me I’m On My Own
And Just Like Every Sunday I Called Momma Up Last Night
And Even When It’s Not, I Tell Her Everything’s All Right
Before We Hung Up I Said
“Hey Momma, Don’t Forget:

To Tell My Baby Sister I’ll See Her In The Fall
And Tell Me Maw That I Miss Her
Yeah, I Should Give Her A Call
And Make Sure You Tell Daddy That I’m Still His Little Girl
Yeah I Still Feel Like I’m Where I’m Supposed To Be
Don’t Forget To Remember Me”

Tonight I Find Myself Kneeling By The Bed To Pray
I Haven’t Done This In A While
So I Don’t Know What To Say But
Lord, I Feel So Small Sometimes In This Big Ol’ Place
Yeah, I Know Theres More Important Things, But
Don’t Forget To Remember Me

Don’t Forget To Remember Me

Chorus:
They wouldn’t bend
They held onto the will of god so we are told
They wouldn’t bow
They would not bow their knees to the idol made of gold
They wouldn’t burn
They were protected by the fourth man in the fire
They wouldn’t bend, they wouldn’t bow
They wouldn’t burn.

Now the prophet daniel tells about three men who walked with god
Shadrack, meshack and abednego before the wicked king they stood
And the king commanded them bound and thrown
In the firey furnace that day.
But the fire was so hot that the men were slain
That forced them on their way.
Now when the three were cast in and the king rose up to witness this awful fate
He began to tremble at what he saw, and in astonished tones he spake.

Did we not cast three men bound into the midst a’ that fire?
For lo, i see four men unhurt, unbound and walkin’ down there
There’s shadrack, meshack and abednego in the firey coals they trod
And the form of the fourth man that i see is like the son of god.

Did we not cast three men bound into the midst a’ that fire?
For lo, i see four men unhurt, unbound and walkin’ down there
There’s shadrack, meshack and abednego in the firey coals they trod
And the form of the fourth man that i see is like the son of god.

Chorus:
They wouldn’t bend
They held onto the will of god so we are told
They wouldn’t bow
They would not bow their knees to the idol made of gold
They wouldn’t burn
They were protected by the fourth man in the fire
They wouldn’t bend, they wouldn’t bow
They wouldn’t burn.

Chorus:
They wouldn’t bend
They held onto the will of god so we are told
They wouldn’t bow
They would not bow their knees to the idol made of gold
They wouldn’t burn
They were protected by the fourth man in the fire
They wouldn’t bend, they wouldn’t bow
They wouldn’t burn.

Chorus:

I Can See Her Sittin’ In The Kitchen Chair
In A Cotton Dress With Her Long Black Hair.
But A Woman Ain’t Pretty If A Man Ain’t There,
That I Can’t Afford To Be.

It’s A Shame, It’s A Shame
She Won’t Be The One To Blame
Oh The Hurtinest Thing In The Whole Wide World
Is The Heart Of A Lonely Girl.

Like A Red Tail Fox To A Blue Tick Hound,
She’s The Hottest Thing For Miles Around.
All Them Other Boys In Our Hometown,
Got Tricks Hid Up Their Sleeves.

Now It Ain’t Her That I Don’t Trust,
She’s Pretty And Pure As Diamond Dust.
But Lonesome Is This Lonesome Girl
She Can’t Help For What She Needs.

It’s A Shame, It’s A Shame
She Won’t Be The One To Blame
Oh The Hurtinest Thing In The Whole Wide World
Is The Heart Of A Lonely Girl.

The Heart Of A Lonely Girl,
The Heart Of A Lonely Girl.
It’s The Hurtinest Thing In The Whole Wide World
The Heart Of A Lonely Girl.

Daddy Was A Rambler Just Like Me,
I Guess The Apple Don’t Fall Too Far From The Tree.
When I Ask Why Momma Had To Go That Day,
Well He Don’t Know And She Won’t Say.

It’s A Shame, It’s A Shame
She Won’t Be The One To Blame
Oh The Hurtinest Thing In The Whole Wide World
Is The Heart Of A Lonely Girl.

Yeah, It’s A Shame, It’s A Shame
She Won’t Be The One To Blame
Yeah The Hurtinest Thing In The Whole Wide World
Is The Heart Of A Lonely Girl.
Yeah The Hurtinest Thing In The Whole Wide World
Is The Heart Of A Lonely Girl.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You’ll never know dear, how much i miss you
Please don’t take my sunshine away

I’ll always love you and make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me to love another
You’ll regret it all some day

You told me once, dear, you really loved me
And no one else could come between
But not you’ve left me and love another
You have shattered all my dreams

You told me once, dear, you really loved me
And no one else could come between
But not you’ve left me and love another
You have shattered all my dreams

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You’ll never know dear, how much i miss you
Please don’t take my sunshine away

He said “i came here to watch the sun
Disappear into the ocean
It’s been years
Since i smelled the salty sea”
He turned his bottle up and down
And i saw him lost
And i saw him found
He said “i don’t know what i’ve been lookin’ for, maybe me…”

Well, i told him i too had been travelin’ around
Livin’ out of my van from town to town
Playin’ for tips and whatever records i could move
I said “i dont reckon i’ll be makin it big,
You know it’s hard to get rich
Off a tout of coffee house gigs”
And he said “yeah, but ain’t it a blessin’
To do what you want to do”

I told him i pulled off here
To watch the sun
Disappear into the ocean
’cause it’s been years since i smelled this salty sea”
And he turned his bottle up and down
He saw me lost and he saw me found
And i said “i dont know what i’ve been lookin for, maybe me”

I said “it’s getting kind of late
Better be heading down the interstate
Can i give you a lift
To san francisco bay?”
He said “nope, i think i’m just going to sit here and rest
And maybe wait on the tokyo-montana express
I might just lay here and dream my life away

I’m going to sit right here,
I’m going to watch the sun disapeear into the ocean
’cause its been years, it’s been years
I’m gonna turn my bottle up and down
You can see my lost
And you can see my found”

I met him on the cliffs of twin rocks, oregon
He was sitting on his bedroll looking
Just like richard brautigan
Just like him

Well i make my living by the sweat of my brow
Give me some work and i will work it out
All i need is a chance and you will see
What i want is a j-o-b.

I need a job
Not a government plan
All i wanna do is work with my two hands
Gonna fire up the truck, head up to dc
Tell them s.o.b.’s i need a j-o-b

You were so concerned about my situation
That you packed up and went on vacation
When you were lyin’ in thee sand
Didi you think about me?
Busted and broke without a j-o-b

I need a job
Not a government plan
All i wanna do is work with my two hands
Gonna fire up the truck, head up to dc
Tell them s.o.b.’s i need a j-o-b

That’s right

I got a simple solution
To clear up this confusion
Fire ’em all, and then they’ll be
Screamin’ like you and me

I need a job
Not a government plan
All i wanna do is work with my two hands
Gonna fire up my truck, head up to dc
Tell them s.o.b.’s i need a j-o-b

I need a job
Not a government plan
All i wanna do is work with my two hands
Gonna fire up the truck, head up to dc
Tell them s.o.b.’s i need a j-o-b
Tell them s.o.b.’s i need a j-o-b
I need a job

How’s your new love
Are you happy
Hope your doin’ fine
Just to know it
Means so much to me.

What’s that darlin’
How am i doin’
Guess i’m doin’ alright
Except i cant sleep
And i cry all night ’til dawn.

What i’m trying to say
Is i love you and i miss you
And i’m so sorry
That i did you wrong.

Look up darlin’
Let me kiss you
Just for old time sake
Let me hold you
In my arms one more time.

Thank you darlin’
May god bless you
And may each step you take
Bring you closer
To the things you seem to find.

Goodbye darlin’
Gotta go now
Gotta try to find a way
To lose these memories
Of a love so warm and true.

And if you should ever find it
In your heart to forgive me
Come back darlin’
I’ll be waitin’ for you…

I Got My Heart Set, My Feet Wet
And He Don’t Even Know It Yet
But No One Needs To Know Right Now

I’ll Tell Him Someday Some Way Somehow
But I’m Gonna Keep It A Secret For Now

I Want Bells To Ring, The Choir To Sing
The White Dress, The Guests, The Cake, The Car, The Whole Darn Thing
But No One Needs To Know Right Now

I’ll Tell Him Someday Some Way Somehow
But I’m Gonna Keep It A Secret For Now

We’ll Have A Little Girl, A Little Boy
A Little Benji We Call Leroy
But No One Needs To Know Right Now

And I’m Not Lonely Anymore At Night
And He Don’t Know Only Only He Can Make It Right

And I’m Not Lonely Anymore At Night
And He Don’t Know Only Only He Can Make It Right

I’m Not Dreamin’ Or Stupid
But Boy Have I Been Hit By Cupid
But No One Needs To Know Right Now

No One Needs To Know Right Now
No One Needs To Know Right Now

I’m gonna get my coat,
I feel the breath of a storm.
There’s something i’ve got to do tonight,
You go inside and stay warm.

Has anybody seen my love,
Has anybody seen my love,
Has anybody seen my love.
I don’t know,
Has anybody seen my love?

You want to talk to me,
Go ahead and talk.
Whatever you got to say to me
Won’t come as any shock.
I must be guilty of something,
You just whisper it into my ear.
Madame butterfly
She lulled me to sleep,
In a town without pity
Where the water runs deep.
She said, “be easy, baby,
There ain’t nothin’ worth stealin’ in here.”

You’re the one i’ve been looking for,
You’re the one that’s got the key.
But i can’t figure out whether i’m too good for you
Or you’re too good for me.

Has anybody seen my love,
Has anybody seen my love,
Has anybody seen my love.
I don’t know,
Has anybody seen my love?

Well, they’re not showing any lights tonight
And there’s no moon.
There’s just a hot-blooded singer
Singing “memphis in june,”
While they’re beatin’ the devil out of a guy
Who’s wearing a powder-blue wig.
Later he’ll be shot
For resisting arrest,
I can still hear his voice crying
In the wilderness.
What looks large from a distance,
Close up ain’t never that big.

Never could learn to drink that blood
And call it wine,
Never could learn to hold you, love,
And call you mine.

Don’t lie, you got it all figured out
That smile has got me spinnin’ around
Don’t even try actin’ like it ain’t no thing
’cause i can see you move a little closer, closer
Girl i gotta get to, get to know ya, know ya
Everything about you makes me want ya, want ya
Know what you’re doin’ baby don’t ya, don’t ya

You been lookin’ over here all night
When i look, you look away
Oh i love the little games you play
I bet you didn’t mean to brush my hand when you walked by
Like you didn’t mean to drive me crazy

Wanna get outta here and let me show you
How good it would feel to hold you
Put your pretty head on my shoulder, oh yeah

I say, “Can you believe it?”
As we’re lying on the couch
The moment I could see it
Yes, yes, I can see it now

CHORUS
Do you remember we were sitting there by the water?
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter
You are the best thing that’s ever been mine

Flash forward and we’re taking on the world together
And there’s a drawer of my things at your place
You learn my secrets and you figure out why I’m guarded
You say we’ll never make my parents mistakes

We got bills to pay
We got nothing figured out
When it was hard to take
Yes, yes, this is what I thought about

CHORUS
Do you remember we were sitting there by the water?
You put your arm around me for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter
You are the best thing that’s ever been mine

Do you remember all the city lights on the water?
You saw me start to believe for the first time
You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter
You are the best thing that’s ever been mine

And I remember that fight, 2:30AM
You said everything was slipping right out of our hands
I ran out crying and you follow me out into the street
Braced myself for the goodbye, cause that’s all I’ve ever known
And you took me by surprise, you said, “I’ll never leave you alone”

You said, “I remember how we felt sitting by the water
And every time I look at you it’s like the first time.
I fell in love with a careless man’s careful daughter
She is the best thing that’s ever been mine.”

(Hold on, we’ll make it last)
(Hold on, never turn back)
(Hold on) You made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter
(Hold on) You are the best thing that’s ever been mine

(Hold on) Do you believe it?
(Hold on) We’re gonna make it now
(Hold on) And I can see it
(Yeah, yeah, yeah) (I can see it now)

But When Somebody Loves You
There’s Nothing You Can’t Do
When Somebody Loves You It’s Easy To Get Through
When Somebody Loves You The Way I Love You.

When It’s Late The Sun Hangs Low
By Yourself, Nowhere To Go
Sing A Song, You Dance Alone
Play Solitaire And Stare At The Phone.

But When Somebody Loves You
There’s Nothing You Can’t Do
When Somebody Loves You It’s Easy To Get Through
When Somebody Loves You The Way I Love You.

Let’s Put Aside Our Foolish Pride
And Let Our Hearts Say Hello
We Both Agree We’re Just No Good
At Bein’ On Our Own.

’cause When Somebody Loves You
There’s Nothing You Can’t Do
When Somebody Loves You It’s Easy To Get Through
When Somebody Loves You The Way I Love You.

The Way I Love You.

The Way I Love You…

Just Close Your Eyes,
The Sun Is Going Down.
You’ll Be Alright,
No One Can Hurt You Now.
Come Morning Light,
You And I’ll Be Safe And Sound.

Don’t You Dare Look Out Your Window, Darling,
Everything’s On Fire…
The War Outside Our Door Keeps Raging On.
Hold On To This Lullaby;
Even When The Music’s Gone.

Just Close Your Eyes,
The Sun Is Going Down.
You’ll Be Alright,
No One Can Hurt You Now.
The Morning Light,
You And I Will Be Safe; And Sound.

Just Close Your Eyes,
You’ll Be Alright.
Come Morning Light,
You And I’ll Be Safe And Sound.

In A Hospital Bed
In The Secrets She Kept
That Would Lead To Her Death
Well The Fucker Had Took What He Wanted
And I Promised He’d Get What Was Comin
But She Never Made A Sound
When He Pushed Her To The Ground
Well Rise And Fall, Curtain Call
Build Around Your Heart A Wall
Of Brick And Stone Both Thick And Tall
Build Around Your Heart A Wall

I Tried To Keep Breathin
As The Last Car Was Leavin
Drank Myself Courageous
Crept Behind The Stage
Towards The Target For Which I Was Gunnin
God Forgive Me But He Had It Comin
It Was Deadly Crooked Fangs
But Outside A Church Bell Clangs
Well Rise And Fall, Curtain Call
Build Around Your Heart A Wall
Brick And Stone Both Thick And Tall
