1. _ Between A Laugh And A Tear
When paradise is no longer fit for you to live in
And your adolescent dreams are gone
Through the days you feel a little used up
And you don't know where your energy's gone wrong
It's just your soul feelin' a little downhearted
Sometimes life is too ridiculous to live
You count your friends all on one finger
I know it sounds crazy just the way that we live
Chorus:
Between a laugh and a tear
Smile in the mirror as you walk by
Between a laugh and a tear
And that's as good as it can get for us
And there ain't no reason to stop tryin'
When this cardboard town can no longer amuse you
You see through everything and nothin' seems worthwhile
And hypocrite used to be such a big word to you
And it don't seem to mean anything to you now
Just try to live each and every precious moment
Don't be discouraged by the future forget the past
That's old advise but it'll be good to you
I know there's a balance see it when i swing past
Chorus:
Between a laugh and a tear
Smile in the mirror as you walk by
Between a laugh and a tear
And that's as good as it can get for us
And there ain't no reason to stop tryin'
Between a laugh and a tear
Smile in the mirror as you walk by
Between a laugh and a tear
And that's as good as it can get for us
And there ain't no reason to stop tryin'
When paradise can no longer amuse you.....

2. _ You
I've seen the rolling stones
Forgot about johnny rotten
Saw the who back in '69
Saw bobby seal
Talkin' to the panthers
Sayin' just what he had on his mind
I saw marlon brando
On a motorcycle
He was actin' out rebellion
I saw rocky stallone
In an x-rated movie
Called the italian stallion
I've seen lots of things
But i have not seen a lot of other things
Chorus:
(but i know)
You've got to stand for something
Or you're gonna fall for anything
You've gotta stand right up for somethin'
Or you're gonna fall....for anything
I saw nikita krushchev
Kissin' fidel castro
Saw a man walkin' on the moon
I saw miss america
In a girly magazine
I bet you saw that too
I've seen the london bridge
In the middle of a desert
Seen 33 years go by
I know the american people
Paid a high price for justice
And i don't know why
Nobody seems to know why
I know a lot of things
But i don't know a lot of other things...
Yeah yeah yeah
Chorus:
(but i know)
You've got to stand for something
Or you're gonna fall for anything
You've gotta stand right up for somethin'
Or you're gonna fall....for anything
Well i've been to harlem county
And i've seen paris, texas
And i've spent some time in rome
I know a lot of funny people
In a lot of funny places
But the midwest is my home
We've got to start respectin' this world
Or it's gonna turn around and bite off our face
Chorus:
(but i know)
You've got to stand for something
Or you're gonna fall for anything
You've gotta stand right up for somethin'
Or you're gonna fall....for anything
(but i know)
You've got to stand for something
Or you're gonna fall for anything
You've gotta stand right up for somethin'
Or you're gonna fall....for anything

3. _ Small Town
Well i was born in a small town
And i live in a small town
Prob'ly die in a small town
Oh, those small communities
All my friends are so small town
My parents live in the same small town
My job is so small town
Provides little opportunity
Educated in a small town
Taught the fear of jesus in a small town
Used to daydream in that small town
Another boring romantic that's me
But i've seen it all in a small town
Had myself a ball in a small town
Married an l.a. doll and brought her to this small town
Now she's small town just like me
No i cannot forget where it is that i come from
I cannot forget the people who love me
Yeah, i can be myself here in this small town
And people let me be just what i want to be
Got nothing against a big town
Still hayseed enough to say
Look who's in the big town
But my bed is in a small town
Oh, and that's good enough for me
Well i was born in a small town
And i can breathe in a small town
Gonna die in this small town
And that's prob'ly where they'll bury me

4. _ The Kind Of Fella I Am
Well i don't like it when i see your eyes dartin'
Back and forth across the room
And i don't like it when i see you doin' dances
Baby that i ain't used to
Chorus:
But that's the kind of fella i am
That's the kind of fella i am
I'm a jealous kinda fella
And i might fall in love with you
I'm a jealous kinda fella
And i just might fall in love with you
Hey
Well i don't like it when you try to impress me
With your daddy's jewels and his car
And i don't like it when i hear you talkin'
'bout your ex-boyfriend the movie star
What i like is when you walk me home
And you let me hold you tight
But i don't like it when i hear that you learned
All this from some other guy
Chorus:
But that's the kind of fella i am
That's the kind of fella i am
I'm a jealous kinda fella
And i might fall in love with you
I'm a jealous kinda fella
And i just might fall in love with you
Hey
So look out
Chorus:
But that's the kind of fella i am
That's the kind of fella i am
I'm a jealous kinda fella
And i might fall in love with you
I'm a jealous kinda fella
And i just might fall in love with you
Hey

6. _ Rumbleseat
All the leaves are green
All my friends are gone
I'm livin' in my hometown
I can barely get along
I feel sorry for myself
That's an easy thing to do
I feel sorry for the world
I feel sorry for you
Yes i am a pitiful sight
I can't even get one thing right
Chorus:
I know just what it's like
To be ridin' in the rumbleseat
Yes i know just what it's like
To be a big time rider in the rumbleseat
Well i could have a nervous breakdown
But i don't believe in shrinks
I should be drunker than a monkey
But i don't like to drink
Call up some girls
But i'm afraid of the phone
I'm always talkin' to myself
I guess i'm never alone
Am i the only one that feels this way
I'd buy myself some stylish clothes
But i sure hate to pay
Chorus:
I know just what it's like
To be ridin' in the rumbleseat
Yes i know just what it's like
To be a big time rider in the rumbleseat
The sun is coming up
Just goin' to bed
I combed my hair with my pillow
Still got some dreams left
Tomorrow is a new day
Gonna make these dreams come true
I'm gonna believe in myself
I'll tell you what i'm gonna do
I'm gonna stop puttin' myself down
I'm gonna turn my life around
I'll be ridin' high
With my feet kicked up in the rumbleseat
Yeah we'll go for a drive
And we'll be singin' shotgun from that rumbleseat
Yes i'll blow you a kiss
And we'll be ridin' big time in my rumbleseat

7. _ The Face Of The Nation
As i run through this life
Sometimes it breaks my heart
Seein' old people goin' downtown
Stumblin' their way through the dark
And the little babies cry
For their mothers' warmth
Sometimes i feel so helpless
I don't know where to start
Chorus:
And the face of the nation
Keeps changin' and changin'
The face of th enation
I don't recognize it no more
The face of the neation
The face of the nation
So many lonely people
Damn those broken dreams
Oh yes it could be better
You can say that about anything
Some got it worse than me
Some got it worse than you
You see the people starvin' underneath the tree
And you wonder what happened to the golden rule
Chorus:
And the face of the nation
Keeps changin' and changin'
The face of th enation
I don't recognize it no more
The face of the neation
The face of the nation
You know babe i'm gonna keep on tryin'
To put things right
If only for me and you
Cause the devil sleeps tonight
Chorus:
And the face of the nation
Keeps changin' and changin'
The face of th enation
I don't recognize it no more
The face of the neation
The face of the nation
And the face of the nation
Keeps changin' and changin'
The face of th enation
I don't recognize it no more
The face of the neation
The face of the nation

8. _ Rain On The Scarecrow
scarecrow on a wooden cross blackbird in the barn
Four hundred empty acres that used to be my farm
I grew up like my daddy did my grandpa cleared this land
When i was five i walked the fence while grandpa held my hand
Chorus:
Rain on the scarecrow blood on the plow
This land fed a nation this land made me proud
And son i'm just sorry there's no legacy for you now
Rain on the scarecrow blood on the plow
Rain on the scarecrow blood on the plow
The crops we grew last summer weren't enough to pay the loans
Couldn't buy the seed to plant this spring and the farmers bank foreclosed
Called my old friend schepman up to auction off the land
He said john it's just my job and i hope you understand
Hey calling it your job ol' hoss sure don't make it right
But if you want me to i'll say a prayer for your soul tonight
And grandma's on the front porch swing with a bible in her hand
Sometimes i hear her singing "take me to the promised land"
When you take away a man's dignity he can't work his fields and cows
There'll be blood on the scarecrow blood on the plow
Blood on the scarecrow blood on the plow
Well there's ninety-seven crosses planted in the courthouse yard
Ninety-seven families who lost ninety-seven farms
I think about my grandpa and my neighbors and my name
And some nights i feel like dyin' like that scarecrow in the rain
Chorus:
Rain on the scarecrow blood on the plow
This land fed a nation this land made me proud
And son i'm just sorry they're just memories for you now
Rain on the scarecrow blood on the plow
Rain on the scarecrow blood on the plow
Rain on the scarecrow blood on the plow
This land fed a nation this land made me so proud
And son i'm just sorry they're just memories for you now
Rain on the scarecrow blood on the plow
Rain on the scarecrow blood on the plow

9. _ R.o.c.k. In The U.s.a (a Salute To The 60
They come from the cities
And they come from the smaller towns
Beat up cars with guitars and drummers
Goin crack boom bam
Chorus:
R.o.c.k. in the u.s.a.
R.o.c.k. in the u.s.a.
R.o.c.k. in the u.s.a., yeah, yeah!
Rockin' in the u.s.a.
Said goodbye to their families
Said goodbye to their friends
With pipe dreams in their heads
And very little money in their hands
Some are black and some are white
Ain't to proud to sleep on the floor tonight
With the blind faith of jesus you know that they just might, be
Rockin' in the u.s.a.
Hey!
Voices from nowhere
And voices from the larger towns
Filled our head full of dreams
Turned the world upside down
There was frankie lyman-bobby fuller-mitch ryder
(they were rockin')
Jackie wilson-shangra-las-young rascals
(they were rockin')
Spotlight on martha reeves
Let's don't forget james brown
Rockin' in the u.s.a.
Rockin' in the u.s.a.
Hey!
Chorus:
R.o.c.k. in the u.s.a.
R.o.c.k. in the u.s.a.
R.o.c.k. in the u.s.a., yeah, yeah!
Rockin' in the u.s.a.
