1. _ Riding On A Railroad
We are riding on a railroad, singing some else's song
Forever standing by the cross road. take a side and step along.
We are sailing away on a river to the sea. maybe you an me can meet again.
We are riding on a railroad, singing someone else's song sing along.
Time to time i tire of the life that i've been leading
Town to town, day by day
There's a man up here who claims to have his hands upon the reins.
There are chains upon his hands and he's riding upon a train.
We are riding on a railroad, singing some else's song
Forever standing by the cross road. take a side and step along.
We are sailing away on a river to the sea. maybe you an me can meet again.
We are riding on a railroad, singing someone else's song.

2. _ Isn't It Nice To Be Home Again
Late last night so far away
I dreamed my-self a dream
Well i dreamed i was so all alone
Isn't it nice to be home again?
I said welcome home
Didn't we miss your smiling face
Well the sun was nice in l.a.
Sun-shine
Isn't it nice to be home again?
Well i said isn't it nice to be home a-gain?

3. _ Let Me Ride
Hand me down my golden crown and let me ride
Don't deny the highway in my soul
Jump and sing that silver thing that i feel inside
Hallelujah let that big wheel roll
It's time to give me just a little bit of old time glory
I'm talking 'bout the coming of the sunshine story
Set this poor soul free
Let it be
Break these bonds that hold my soul and i'm on my way
I can't help feeling there's no time to lose
I done made my mind up yesterday that i just can't stay
So hand me down my highway shoes
It's time to give me just a little bit of old time glory
I'm talking 'bout the coming of the sunshine story
Set this poor soul free
Let it be

4. _ Soldiers
It was just after sunrise
And down by the sea
Down on the sand flats
Where nothing will grow
Come drumming and footsteps
Like out of a dream
Where the golden green waters come in
Just nine lucky soldiers had come
Through the night
Half of them wounded
And barely alive
Just nine out of twenty was headed for home
With eleven sad stories to tell
I remember quite clearly when i got out of bed
I said, oh, good morning what a beautiful day

5. _ Mud Slide Slim
Mud slide slim and the blue horizon
Oh, mud slide, i'm dependent on you
I don't know but i've been told
There's a time from time to time
I can't eat, i can't sleep
But i just might move my feet
'cause there's nothing like
The sound of sweet soul music
To change a young lady's mind
And there's nothing like a
Walk on down by the bayou
To leave the world behind
Mud slide i'm depending upon you
Mister mud slide slim and the blue horizon
I've been letting the time go by
Letting the time go by
Yes, i'm letting the time go by
Letting the time go by
I'm gonna cash in my hand and
Pick up on a piece of land
And build myself a cabin back in the woods
Lord, it's there i'm gonna stay
Until there comes a day
When this old world starts to changing for the good
Now the reason i'm smiling is over on a island
On a hillside in the woods where i belong
I wanna thank jimmy, jimmy, john, nick and laurie
The no jets construction for setting
Me down a homestead on the farm
Mud slide, i'm depending upon you
Mister mud slide slim and the blue horizon

6. _ Highway Song
Father, let us build a boat and sail away
There's nothing for you here
And brother, let us throw our lot out upon the sea
It's been done before
I'm thinking 'bout a broken heart
I'm talking 'bout the break of dawn
You love me while i'm here
Then you can miss me when i'm gone
Sweet misunderstanding
Won't you leave a poor boy alone
I'm the one eyed seed of a tumbleweed
In the belly of a rolling stone
(chorus)
Back on the highway, yeah, yeah, yeah
Back on the road again
I had a little woman in memphis
She wanted to be my bride
She said, settle on down, traveling man
You can stay right by my side
I tried so hard to please her
But i couldn't hold out too long
'cause one saturday night i was laying in bed
And i heard that highway song
- chorus -
Now one of these days that highway song will lose its appeal to me
I'm gonna settle on down like a natural born man
I'm gonna live my life naturally (free and easy)
Until that day the thunder's gonna roll
And i notice there's a sign of rain
So i grab my bags and i pack my clothes
And i'm back on the road again
- chorus -
I'm thinking 'bout a broken heart
I been talking 'bout the break of dawn
You loved me while i'm here
And you can miss me when i'm gone
And i said sweet misunderstanding
Won't you leave a poor boy alone
'cause i'm the one eyed seed of a tumbleweed
In the belly of a rolling stone
- chorus -
Here i am again
Holiday inn
Same old four walls again
Gee, but it's fine to be back home again (whoa, now)
Say, holiday inn, i'm on the road again

7. _ Machine Gun Kelly
I'll tell you 'bout machine gun kelly
He rode along the outlaw trail
Machine gun kelly was a simple man
But the woman was as hard as hell
(chorus)
Watch out machine gun
Don't let her run you 'round
Don't let a woman put you six feet in the ground
Machine gun
I'll tell you 'bout katherine kelly
Tired of being such small time
Figured they'd kidnap a rich man's son
And make it in the world of crime
- chorus -
You'd better watch out machine gun kelly
Careful of what you do now
If you keep listening to your old lady
Ain't no telling what'll happen to you now
Machine gun
The government boys they came for machine gun
And took the poor boy away
They stuck him in a hole in leavenworth prison
Where he lived until his dying day
Watch out machine gun
Don't let her put you down
Don't let a woman make you out to be a clown
Machine gun
Watch out machine gun

8. _ Love Has Brought Me Around
Don't come to me with your sorrows anymore
I don't need to know
How bad you're feeling today
I declare i've had my share
And i've heard it all before
It's time for me to be stealing away
Let those rain clouds roll out on the sea
Let the sun shine down on me, hey, hey
Love has brought me around
Love has brought me around (yes, it has)
Love has brought me around
Love has brought me around
When my sky was full of gray
And my day was full of blue
There was nothing i could do
To see myself through
Now my head is full of springtime
And my heart is full of you
Good-bye lonely blue
It shall all come true
Miss november i detect a frown
Close your eyes and turn it upside down
Love has brought me around
Love has brought me around (don't you know)
Love has brought me around
Love has brought me around
I know you know what
I've got to say is an old clich?anyway so they say
Love has brought me around
Love has brought me around
Love has brought me around
Love has brought me around (yes, it has)

9. _ Hey Mister, That's Me Up On The Jukebox
Hey mister, that's me up on the jukebox
I'm the one that's singing this sad song
Well, i'll cry everytime that you slip in one more dime
And let the boy sing the sad one, one more time
Southern california that's as blue as the boy can be
Blue as the deep blue sea
Won't you listen to me now
I need your golden gated cities like a hole in the head
Just like a hole in the head, i'm free
Hey mister, that's me up on the jukebox
I'm the one that's singing this sad song
Well, i'll cry everytime that you slip in one more dime
And let the boy sing the sad one, one more time
I do believe i'm headed home
Hey mister, can't you see that i'm as dry as a bone
I think i'll spend some time alone
Yes, unless you've found a way of squeezing water from a stone
Let the doctor and the lawyer do as much as they can
Let the springtime begin
Let the boy become a man
I done wasted too much time just to sing you this sad song
I done been this lonesome picker a little too long
Hey mister, that's me up on the jukebox
I'm the one that's singing this sad song
Well, i'll cry everytime that you're up and slip in one more dime
And let the boy sing the sad one, one more time
Well, i've been spreading myself thin these days
Don't you know
Good-bye

10. _ Places In My Past
There are ladies in my life
Lovely ladies in these lazy days
And though i never took a wife
May i say that i have loved me one or two
Of the people in my past
Fading faces in a waking dream
And though they never seemed to last very long
There are faces i remember
From the places in my past
I said all the dead head miles
And the insincere smiles
Sometimes i can laugh and cry
And i can't remember why
But i still love those
Good times gone by
Hold on to them close or let them go, oh no
I don't know
I just seem to sing these songs
And say i'm sorry for the friends i used to know

11. _ You've Got A Friend
When you're down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, whoa nothing is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon i will be there
To brighten up even your darkest nights.
You just call out my name,
And you know whereever i am
I'll come running, oh yeah baby
To see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall,
All you have to do is call
And i'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You've got a friend.
If the sky above you
Should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together and call my name out loud
And soon i will be knocking upon your door.
You just call out my name and you know where ever i am
I'll come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
And i'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend?
People can be so cold.
They'll hurt you and desert you.
Well they'll take your soul if you let them.
Oh yeah, but don't you let them.
You just call out my name and you know wherever i am
I'll come running to see you again.
Oh babe, don't you know that,
Winter spring summer or fall,
Hey now, all you've got to do is call.
Lord, i'll be there, yes i will.
You've got a friend.
You've got a friend.
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend.
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend.
You've got a friend.

12. _ You Can Close Your Eyes
Well the sun is surely sinking down
But the moon is slowly rising
So this old world must still be spinning 'round
And i still love you
(chorus)
So close your eyes
You can close your eyes, it's all right
I don't know no love songs
And i can't sing the blues anymore
But i can sing this song
And you can sing this song
When i'm gone
It won't be long before another day
We gonna have a good time
And no one's gonna take that time away
You can stay as long as you like
- chorus -

13. _ Long Ago And Far Away
Long ago a young man sits and plays his waiting game
But things are not the same it seems as in such tender dreams
Slowly passing sailing ships and sunday afternoon
Like people on the moon i see are things not meant to be
Where do those golden rainbows end?
Why is this song so sad?
Dreaming the dreams i've dreamed my friend
Loving the love i love
To love is just a word i've heard when things are being said
Stories my poor head has told me cannot stand the cold
And in between what might have been and what has come to pass
A misbegotten guess alas and bits of broken glass
Where do your golden rainbows end?
Why is this song i sing so sad?
Dreaming the dreams i dream my friend
Loving the love i love to love to love to love
