1. _ Lodi
Just about a year ago, i set out on the road,
Seekin' my fame and fortune, lookin' for a pot of gold.
Things got bad, and things got worse, i guess you will know the tune.
Oh ! lord, stuck in lodi again.
Rode in on the greyhound, i'll be walkin' out if i go.
I was just passin' through, must be seven months or more.
Ran out of time and money, looks like they took my friends.
Oh ! lord, i'm stuck in lodi again.
The man from the magazine said i was on my way.
Somewhere i lost connections, ran out of songs to play.
I came into town, a one night stand, looks like my plans fell through
Oh ! lord, stuck in lodi again.
Mmmm...
If i only had a dollar, for ev'ry song i've sung.
And ev'ry time i've had to play while people sat there drunk.
You know, i'd catch the next train back to where i live.
Oh ! lord, i'm stuck in lodi again.
Oh ! lord, i'm stuck in lodi again.

2. _ Cross-tie Walker
I went down to the station, just to take a ride.
I went down to the station, just to take a ride.
Found myself on a flatcar, yesterday behind.
Pullin' out from the platform, there was no brass band.
I pulled out from the platform, nobody raised a hand.
And there were no tears of regret from my runaway train.
Train, train, train, train.
Got no sand in my pocket, you know i ain't tied down.
Ain't no sand in my pocket, never do sit down.
I'm just a cross-tie walker, where the freight trains run.
Run, run, run, run.
If you see me acomin', don't you waste my time.
If you see me acomin', don't you waste my time.
'cause there's more miles between us than the santa fe line.
Run, run, run, run.
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm....

3. _ Bad Moon Rising
I see the bad moon arising.
I see trouble on the way.
I see earthquakes and lightnin'.
I see bad times today.
Chorus:
Don't go around tonight,
Well, it's bound to take your life,
There's a bad moon on the rise.
I hear hurricanes ablowing.
I know the end is coming soon.
I fear rivers over flowing.
I hear the voice of rage and ruin.
Chorus
All right!
Hope you got your things together.
Hope you are quite prepared to die.
Looks like we're in for nasty weather.
One eye is taken for an eye.

(minus the "wah-do-day"'s)
You know the night time, oh, is the right time
To be with the one you love.
I said the night time, ooh, is the right time
To be with the one you love.
I said the night time, ooh, is the right time
To be with the one you love.
Baby, i said a baby, baby, come on and drive me crazy, lord,
You know i love you; always thinkin' of you.
Hey, baby; oh, i said a baby.
You know the night time is the right time
To be with the one you love.
Aaaah!
I said the night time oh, is the right time
To be with the one you love.
I said the night time, ooh, is the right time
To be with the one you love.
I said the night time oh, is the right time
To be with the one you love.

5. _ Sinister Purpose
When the sky is gray
And the moon is hate
I'll be down to get you.
Roots of earth will shake.
Chorus:
Sinister purpose
Knockin' at your door;
Come and take my hand.
Burn away the goodness;
You and i remain.
Did you see the last war?
Well, here i am again.
Chorus
I can set you free,
Make you rich and wise.
We can live forever;
Look into my eyes.
Chorus
Mm-mm-mm-mm....

6. _ Tombstone Shadow
Tombstone shadow, stretchin' across my path.
Tombstone shadow, stretchin' across my path.
Ev'ry time i get some good news, ooh,
There's a shadow on my back.
Saw the gypsy man, 'way down in san berdoo.
Said, i saw the gypsy man, 'way down in san berdoo.
Five dollars on the table, ooh,
Keep me 'way from my tomb.
Oh! oh!
Said i got thirteen months of bad luck,
Bound to be some pain.
Don't you do no trav'lin',
Fly in no machines.
Tombstone shadow, stretchin' across my path.
Ev'ry time i get some good news, ooh,
There's a shadow on my back.
The man gave me a luck charm, cost five dollars more,
Said, "put some on your pillow, and put some on your door."
He said, "take a long vacation, ooh,
For thirteen months or more."
Oh, lord!
Tombstone shadow, stretchin' across my path.
Tombstone shadow, stretchin' across my path.
Ev'ry time i get some good news, ooh,
There's a shadow on my back.
Oh, oh, lord!
Oh, lord!

7. _ Wrote A Song For Everyone
Met myself a comin' county welfare line.
I was feelin' strung out, hung out on the line.
Saw myself a goin', down to war in june.
All i want, all i want is to write myself a tune.
Chorus:
Wrote a song for ev'ryone,
Wrote a song for truth.
Wrote a song for ev'ryone
And i couldn't even talk to you.
Got myself arrested, wound me up in jail.
Richmond 'bout to blow up, communication failed.
If you see the answer, now's the time to say.
All i want, all i want is to get you down to pray.
Chorus
Chorus
Saw the people standin' thousand years in chains.
Somebody said it's diff'rent now, look, it's just the same.
Pharoahs spin the message, round and round the truth.
They could have saved a million people, how can i tell you?
Chorus

8. _ Commotion
Traffic in the city turns my head around.
No, no, no, no, no.
Backed up on the freeway, backed up in the church,
Ev'rywhere you look there's a frown, frown.
Chorus:
Com, commotion,
Git, git, git, gone.
Com, commotion,
Git, git, git, gone.
People keep atalkin', they don't say a word.
Jaw, jaw, jaw, jaw, jaw.
Talk up in the white house, talk up to your door,
So much goin' on i just can't hear.
Chorus
Hurryin' to get there so you save some time.
Run, run, run, run, run.
Rushin' to the treadmill, rushin' to get home,
Worry 'bout the time you save, save.
Chorus

9. _ Green River
Well, take me back down where cool water flows, yeah.
Let me remember things i love,
Stoppin' at the log where catfish bite,
Walkin' along the river road at night,
Barefoot girls dancin' in the moonlight.
I can hear the bullfrog callin' me.
Wonder if my rope's still hangin' to the tree.
Love to kick my feet 'way down the shallow water.
Shoefly, dragonfly, get back t'your mother.
Pick up a flat rock, skip it across green river.
Welllllll!
Up at cody's camp i spent my days, oh,
With flat car riders and cross-tie walkers
. old cody, junior took me over,
Said, "you're gonna find the world is smould'rin'.
And if you get lost come on home to green river."
Welllllll!
Come on home.
