Hard Rain

(darryl worley/steve leslie)

I've got too many pockets on my shirt
Too many choices and it's only getting worse
Too many things that i could do today
Too many stops along the way

I miss the way it used to be
Back when there were just two channels on t.v.
That way of life was so much easier
I've got too many pockets on my shirt

Somehow it all got out of hand
Too complicated for a simple man
Don't want to have to pick and choose
Hey, look at all these things i'll never use

I'm gonna find a one-lane road
Where there's only one way i can go
Take a little trip back to the way things were
I've got too many pockets on my shirt

Somehow it all got out of hand
Too complicated for a simple man
Don't want to have to pick and choose
Hey, look at all these things i'll never use

I'm gonna find a one lane road
Where there's only one way i can go
Take a little trip back to the way things were
I've got too many pockets on my shirt

Wish i could get back to the way things were
I've got too many pockets on my shirt
Too many pockets on my shirt

All day long i break my back
To keep this company in the black
There's gotta be an end to all this labor
When i hear that whistle blow
I can't wait to see your smiling face and
Lose myself in your embrace
But lately every day when i walk in
Oh it feels like work again

So maybe we should find ourselves a mountain top
A little place to stop for awhile
Get above the things that made us feel this way
Hey, a day or two and we'll come back in style
Just a little time together
Oh, it's bound to make things better
Till the weight of this old world starts closing in
And it feels like work again

Now life, it ain't no fairy tale
And i guess we know all too well
How sometimes it can get a little crazy
Yeah, that's the way it is
So we just keep on going
But there's peace of mind in knowing
We can run off somewhere every now and then
When it feels like work again

So baby we should find ourselves a mountain top
A little place to stop for awhile
Get above the things that made us feel this way
Hey, a day or two and we'll come back in style
Just a little time together
Oh, it's bound to make things better
Till the weight of this old world starts closing in
And it feels like work again

Yeah, we just keep on going
'cause there's peace of mind in knowing
We can run off somewhere every now and then
When it feels like work again
Yeah when it feels like work again

Two in the morning telephone rings
Somehow i knew who it was
'cause baby it's always the same old thing
When you need my love

You say it's over again and again
This time you've had enough
Girl i know you've been fighting with him
When you need my love

Oh i wish i could just say no
And get you out of my heart
It must be nice to have some place to go
When your world falls apart

He'll call tomorrow with the same ol' line
And you'll forget about us
I'll be lonely until the next time
When you need my love

Oh i wish i could just say no
And get you out of my heart
It must be nice to have some place to go
When your world falls apart

Now someday someone's gonna love me true
And baby when she does
Then i wonder what you're gonna do
When you need my love

Yeah, then i wonder what you're gonna do
When you need my love
When you need my love
When you need my love
What are you gonna do

(darryl worley/steve leslie)

There's an old friendly breeze that blows in the gulf of mexico
Somehow it always knows when i'm feeling low
So i'm gonna anchor down and wait till it comes around
Leave the rest of the world behind, yeah that's how i'll pass the time

Till i catch my second wind, get back up and gain control again
Find the strength i lost back when you stopped loving me
I guess i'll just stay out here until i know the coast is clear
Sit and watch the tide roll in till i catch my second wind

There's a peace in the way i feel when the water's still
And as long as it's calm out here i've got time to kill
But as soon as it starts to stir i'll lose track of the way things were
Float away on the open air, but i'm not going anywhere

Till i catch my second wind, get back up and gain control again
Find the strength i lost back when you stopped loving me
I guess i'll just stay out here until i know the coast is clear
Sit and watch the tide roll in till i catch my second wind

I don't have a lot, but i'm proud of what i've got
I can't complain
'cause i see people hangin' round, on the city streets downtown
Living on pocket change
There're times i've been confused, felt that i was born to lose
Oh but i survived
Unlike the one's who pray and feel more than blessed each day
To just be still alive

Is there something we can do
Seems the odds against survival are a million to one
The only hope they have will die
In the hearts of you and i if nothing's ever done
I can't save them by myself
Oh but god forbid that i just turn my head
And walk on by
Don't let me be a stranger to those less fortunate than i

Seems that old golden rule, that i learned back in school
Has lost its shine
It's a crying shame, and i wonder could the blame
Be yours and mine
Discipline was tough, and that old principal was rough
But the times were good
'cause no one ever found one single child shot down
In the neighborhood

Is there something we can do
Seems the odds against survival are a million to one
'cause every day that passes by
Another street gang victim dies
And still there's nothing done
I can't save them by myself
Oh but god forbid that i just run away somewhere and hide
From the fear and the danger of those less fortunate than i
Lord don't let me be a stranger to those less fortunate than i

When she walked out on me you hung around
Said you couldn't stand to see me going down
And that someday i'd forget all about her in time
You were right she's the last thing on my mind

Now you say that since i'm feeling strong again
You're leaving and you'll always be my friend
Thanks to you, i know now what love is all about
There's just one little thing that you left out

Who's gonna get me over you
Who'll take your place like you took hers
And pull me through
You got me over her when she left
Just like you said you'd do
But tell me who's gonna get me over you

You put together all she tore apart
But somewhere along the way i lost my heart
You had me believing i could make it on my own
Right up to the moment you were gone

Who's gonna get me over you
Who'll take your place like you took hers
And pull me through
You got me over her when she left
Just like you said you'd do
But tell me who's gonna get me over you
