End of Time
Signal fire out on the plain
Then suddenly clouds and a pouring rain
Box car rolls train cars creak
Banks over flow on the Cripple Creek
One minute I’m fine
One minute I’m free
Then another I’m blind and crippled in need
Oh my my well yeah yeah
I can’t look I can only stare
Well yeah yeah, oh my my
Lover come look me in the eye
One minute I’m fine
One minute I’m free
Then another I’m blind and crippled in need
One minute I’m born
One minute I die
In the middle I’m yours ‘til the end of time
Elephant tears on the ocean floor
Mother of pearl and the third world war
Toll bells ring phone calls made
Some little kid sings at the veterans parade
One minute I’m fine
One minute I’m free
Then another I’m blind and crippled in need
One minute I’m born
One minute I die
In the middle I’m yours ‘til the end of time

Covered
This world’s got me covered
This world’s got me covered
This world’s got me covered up in sin
This world’s got me covered
Covered up in sin
I try so hard to tell you baby
Can’t you see what kind of shape I’m in
This world’s got me worried
This world’s got me worried
This world’s got me worried all the time
This world’s got me worried
Worried all the time
I try so hard to tell you baby
Somehow I can’t keep myself from cryin'
This world’s got me thinkin'
This world’s got me thinkin'
This world’s got me thinkin'
Thinking I’m no good
This world’s got me thinkin'
Thinking I’m no good
I try so hard to tell you baby
Somehow I’m always misunderstood
This world’s got me covered
This world’s got me covered
This world’s got me covered up in sin
This world’s got me covered
Covered up in sin
I try so hard to tell you baby
Can’t you see what kind of shape I’m in

Rise

Rise
In the month of June
When the stars are out
I will look at you
And know what you’re about
We will rise above our hate
We will rise above our doom
We will rise it’s not too late
I will rise right up for you
In the month of May
When the flowers bloom
Darlin’ if I may
Tell you I love you
We will rise above our hate
We will rise above our doom
We will rise it’s not too late
I will rise right up for you
Darlin’ it is hard as we travel through this life
To keep our heads above the waves crashin' day and night
Darlin’ it is hard as we travel through this life
To keep our heads above the waves crashin' day and night
Crashin' day and night
In the Summertime
When the lilies bloom
I will look at you
We’ll know what to do
We will rise above our hate
We will rise above our doom
we will rise it’s not too late
I will rise right up for you

Be the Boss
What’s it gonna take to be the boss
What’s it gonna take to be the boss
I been out here all day little girl
And don’t you know my legs are crossed
What’s it gonna take to break the curse
What’s it gonna take to break the curse
I been dragged out in the mud
I been trampled by the slugs in this here universe
What’s it gonna take to make amends
What’s it gonna take to make amends
I wanna be yr lover little girl

What’s it gonna take to make ya happy
What’s it gonna take to make ya happy
We already took a nap I already took the garbage out
And I met yr pappy
Somehow or another we’re gonna win
Somehow or another we’re gonna win
What’s it gonna take to get it right
What’s it gonna take to get it right
I’m sleeping with my eyes open mamma
And don’t you know I’m up all night
What’s it gonna take to drive it straight
What’s it gonna take to drive it straight
I took ya out to lunch I took ya out to the circus
And I stayed out way to late
Somehow or another we’re gonna win
Somehow or another we’re gonna win

As My Eyes Run Wild
I was young
I was young and debutante
I thought I’d get
I thought I’d get whatever I want
I strayed so far away
Do-si-do
Do-si-do and swing that girl
‘Round you go
In this great round crazy world
We stray so far away
Now I’ll stay close to you my friend this time
As my eyes run
As my eyes run wild
It was cold
It was cold out in the wind
Now I’m home
It was you who took me in
I strayed to far away
It was strange
To be estranged from all my friends
Now I’ve changed
And today I’m back again
I strayed so far away
Now I’ll stay close to you my friend this time
As my eyes run
As my eyes run wild
Now I’m old
I am old and I am weak
But my eyes
Are as young as cripple creek
I strayed so far away
Now I’ll stay close to you my friend this time
As my eyes run
As my eyes run wild

Million to One

Million to One
All my worries all my worries gone (my heart aches, my mind aches)
All my worries all my worries gone (right time the wrong place)
Hold on hold on hold on
I feel alright
I feel alright
When it’s a million to one a million to one a million to one
(Don’t leave ‘em sitting, they might separate)
A million to one a million to one a million to one
(Don’t leave ‘em standing, don't leave it up to fate)
All my worries all my worries gone (I’m climbing I’m climbing)
All my worries all my worries gone (once more to the top floor)
Hold on Hold on Hold on
I feel alright
I feel alright
When it’s a million to one a million to one a million to one
(Don’t leave ‘em sitting, they might separate)
A million to one a million to one a million to one
(Don’t leave ‘em standing, don't leave it up to fate)
When it’s a million to one a million to one a million to one
(Don’t leave ‘em sliding, into plate)
A million to one a million to one a million to one
(Don’t leave ‘em hanging)

All the Way Down

All the Way Down
I been hidin’
With a straight-lace face
I’m decidin’
To join the human race
You bring me round
Even when I’m all the way down
I been draggin’
My knuckles on the ground
I been braggin’
About the size of my frown
You bring me round
Even when I’m all the way down
You got black coffee
Runnin’ through your veins
Never wash you off me
Even when it rains
You bring me round
Even when I’m all the way down
All the way down

Goodbye

Goodbye
We
We got all
Out of sorts
Out of line
But I
Don’t wanna tell you
Goodbye
Love
Love it blinds
When it shines
In your eyes
And I
Don’t wanna tell you
Goodbye
Why
Oh why
Must we cut each other down
I’m still gonna try
Cause the only way is up
When your heart has hit the ground
We
We got it all
Out of sorts
Out of line
But I
Don’t wanna tell you
Goodbye
Why
Oh why
Must we cut each other down
I’m still gonna try
Cause the only way is up
When your heart has hit the ground
We
We got it all
Out of sorts
Out of line
But I
Don’t wanna tell you
Goodbye

Who's Who

Who’s Who
Read a book about politics
To try t’ get a clue
Got a greeting card from my grandma
It just ‘God bless you’
Read a Rolling Stone’s jacket
Listenin’ made me feel free
I read the message in your eyes
It was written in calligraphy
Everything I read
Eventually comes true
All the pieces are in place
But nobody knows who’s who
Who’s who? Who’s who?
Who’s who? Who’s who?
Who’s who? Who’s who?
Who’s who? Who’s who?
Read an atlas of the world
To check my IQ
But I got so distracted out in Spain
Cause I was thinkin' about you
So I read your love letter
I hung on every word
Your commas looked like llamas
And your paragraphs were baby birds
Your stationary was pink
The ink you used was blue
But the name at the bottom wasn’t yours
Now I’m tryin to figure out who’s who
Who’s who? Who’s who?
Who’s who? Who’s who?
Who’s who? Who’s who?
Who’s who? Who’s who?
I read an encyclopedia
To see if it was true that
Marilyn Monroe had on her back
A naked lady tattoo
I read a book about gorillas
I stole it from the zoo
When the zoo keeper smiled at me
She didn’t even have a clue
So I read the users manual
Your father gave me for you
But it was for your sister so I kissed her
And it didn’t even matter who’s who
Who’s who? Who’s who?
Who’s who? Who’s who?
Who’s who? Who’s who?
Who’s who? Who’s who?

On the Road
Seein’ friends on every coast
Thrift store in a town of ghosts
Don’t when I’ll see my home
Wonder how long I’ve been gone
O don’t you wanna go
On the road
Up one highway down the next
Finding banks that’ll cash our checks
Smilin’ in the rear view mirror
As another good town disappears
O don’t you wanna go
On the road
Music store in Tennessee
Baby are you the one for me
Sounds so good do you think I can
Fit this guitar in the van
Don’t say no
I wanna play it in the show
O don’t you wanna go
On the road
Summer’s over lets get some sleep
Count our blessings count some sheep
When the leaves begin to fall
I’ll be ready just give me a call
O don’t you wanna go
On the road

That's What I Call Love

That’s What I Call Love
Love traces it’s steps back to you
Love’s made me a wreck but not this love
I watch you watching the stars up above
They twinkle out your name in lights
That’s what I call love
Love waits for you in the hall
Love comes in the mail or a telephone call
I watch you watching the stars up above
They twinkle out your name in lights
That’s what I call love
Love is only worth it’s weight in the color of the leaves
Does this mean that I’ve fallen for you and you’ve fallen for me?
Love casts it’s eyes onto you
Love love is wise love is beautiful and true
I watch you watching the stars up above
They twinkle out your name in lights
That’s what I call love
That’s what I call love
That’s what I call love

Summer Sun
Climbed the mountain high
Rode the rolling sea
Only had to look inside
To find serenity
Crossed the desert sands
Lived the city streets
Only had to look inside
To find serenity
Live your life alive
Never lie and find the time
To find your summer sun
Your summer sun
Live your life alive
Never lie and try to find
Your summer sun
Your summer sun
