1. _ Smile
By chaplin, parsons and phillips
Smile, though your heart is aching.
Smile, even though it's breaking.
Though there are clouds in the sky,
You'll get by...
If you smile through your fears and sorrows.
Smile and maybe tomorrow.
You'll see the sun come shining through.
If you just light up your face with gladness,
Hide every trace of sadness.
Although a tear may be ever, ever so near.
That's the time you must keep on trying.
Smile, what's the use of crying?
You'll find life is still worthwhile
If you'll just smile, come on and smile.
If you just smile.

2. _ Tulsa Time
By danny flowers
Well, i left oklahoma
Driving in a pontiac,
Just about to lose my mind.
I was going to arizona,
Maybe on to california
Where people all live so fine.
My mother says i'm crazy,
My baby calls me lazy,
But i'm gonna show them all this time
'cause you know i ain't no fool and
i don't need no more damn schoolin'.
I was born to just walk the line.
Living on tulsa time.
Living on tulsa time.
Gonna set my watch back to it
'cause you know that i've been through it.
Living on tulsa time.
So there i was in hollywood,
Thinking i was doing good,
Talking on the telephone line.
They don't want me in the movies
And nobody sings my songs;
My mama says my baby's doing fine.
So then i started winking,
Then i started thinking
That i really had a flash this time.
That i had no bussiness leaving,
And nobody would be grieving;
You see i'm on tulsa time.

3. _ Blues Power
(by eric clapton and leon russell)
Bet you didn't think i knew how to rock 'n' roll.
Oh, i got the boogie-woogie right down in my very soul.
There ain't no need for me to be a wallflower,
'cause now i'm living on blues power.
I knew all the time but now i'm gonna let you know:
I'm gonna keep on rocking, no matter if it's fast or slow.
Ain't gonna stop until the twenty-fifth hour,
'cause now i'm living on blues power.
First verse
Talking to you, now.
The boogie's gonna pull me through.
Keep on, keep on, keep on keeping on.
Keep on keeping on, keep on keeping on.

4. _ Presence Of The Lord
By eric clapton
I have finally found a way to live just like i never could before.
I know that i don't have much to give, but i can open any door.
Everybody knows the secret, everybody knows the score.
I have finally found a way to live in the color of the lord.
I have finally found a place to live just like i never could before.
And i know i don't have much to give, but soon i'll open any door.
Everybody knows the secret, everybody knows the score.
I have finally found a place to live in the presence of the lord.
In the presence of the lord.
I have finally found a way to live just like i never could before.
And i know i don't have much to give, but i can open any door.
Everybody knows the secret, i said everybody knows the score.
I have finally found a way to live in the color of the lord.
In the color of the lord.

5. _ If I Don't Be There By Morning
By bob dylan and helena springs
Blue sky upon the horizon,
Private eye is on my trail,
And if i don't be there by morning
You know that i must have spent the night in jail.
I've been running from memphis to l. a.
Had an appointment set sometime for today,
And if i don't be there by morning
You know that i must have gone the other way.
Finding my way back to you girl,
Lonely and blue and mistreated too.
Sometimes i think of you girl,
Is it true that you think of me too?
I got a woman living in l. a.
I got a woman waiting for my pay,
And if i don't be there by morning,
Pack my clothes, get down on your knees and pray.
Chorus
I left my woman with a twenty dollar bill.
I left her waiting, i hope she's waiting for me still.
If i don't be there by morning
You know that i, i never will.

6. _ Can't Find My Way Home
By steve winwood
Come down off your throne and leave your body alone.
Somebody must change.
You are the reason i've been waiting so long.
Somebody holds the key.
But i'm near the end and i just ain't got the time
And i'm wasted and i can't find my way home.
Come down on your own and leave your body alone.
Somebody must change.
You are the reason i've been waiting all these years.
Somebody holds the key.
Chorus
But i can't find my way home.
But i can't find my way home.
But i can't find my way home.
But i can't find my way home.
Still i can't find my way home,
And i ain't done nothing wrong,
But i can't find my way home.

7. _ Ramblin' On My Mind
(by robert johnson)
I got rambling, i got rambling all on my mind.
I got rambling, i got rambling all on my mind.
I hates to leave my baby, but she treats me so unkind.
I got mean things, i got mean things all on my mind.
I got mean things, i got mean things all on my mind.
I hates to leave my baby, but she treats me so unkind.
I'm going down to the station, catch the fastest train i see.
I'm going down to the station, catch the fastest train i see.
I got the blues 'bout miss so-and-so, and her son's got the blues about me.
I got rambling, i got rambling all on my mind.
I got rambling, i got rambling all on my mind.
I hates to leave my baby, but she treats me so unkind.

8. _ Knockin' On Heaven's Door
By bob dylan
Ma, take this badge off of me.
I can't use it any more.
It's getting dark, too dark to see.
Feel like i'm knockin' on heaven's door.
Knock, knock, knockin' on heavens door.
Knock, knock, knockin' on heavens door.
Knock, knock, knockin' on heavens door.
Knock, knock, knockin' on heavens door.
Ma, take these guns away from me.
I can't shoot them any more.
There's a long black cloud following me.
Feel like i'm knockin' on heaven's door.
Chorus
