[Verse 1]
There's something in the way she moves
Or looks my way or calls my name
That seems to leave this troubled world behind
If I'm feeling down and blue
Or troubled by some foolish game
She always seems to make me change my mind

[Chorus]
And I feel fine anytime she's around me now
She's around me now
Almost all the time
And if I'm well, you can tell she's been with me now
She's been with me now
Quite a long, long time and I feel fine

[Bridge]
Every now and then the things I lean on lose their mеaning
And I find myself careening
In places wherе I should not let me go
She has the power to go where no one else can find me
Yes, and to silently remind me
Of the happiness and good times that I know

[Verse 2]
But I just got to know them, it isn't what she's got to say
Or how she thinks and where she's been
To me, the words are nice the way they sound
I like to hear them best that way
It doesn't matter what they mean
She says them mostly just to calm me down

[Chorus]
And I feel fine anytime she's around me now
She's around me now
Almost all the time
And if I'm well, you can tell she's been with me now
She's been with me now
Quite a long, long time
Yes, and I feel fine
				

[Chorus]
In my mind, I'm gone to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine?
Can't you just feel the moonshine?
Ain't it just like a friend of mine
To hit me from behind?
Yes, I'm gone to Carolina in my mind

[Verse 1]
Karin, she's a silver sun
You best walk her way and watch it shine
And watch her watch the morning come
A silver tear appearing now I'm crying, ain't I?
I'm gone to Carolina in my mind

[Verse 2]
There ain't no doubt in no one's mind
That love's the finest thing around
Whisper something soft and kind
And hey, babe, the sky's on fire, I'm dying, ain't I?
I'm gone to Carolina in my mind

[Chorus]
In my mind, I'm gone to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine?
Can't you just feel the moonshine?
Ain't it just like a friend of mine
To hit me from behind?
Yes, I'm gone to Carolina in my mind

[Verse 3]
Dark and silent late last night
I think I might have heard the highway call
Geese in flight and dogs that bite
And signs that might be omens say I'm going, going
I'm gone to Carolina in my mind

[Bridge]
With a holy host of others standing around me
Still, I'm on the dark side of the moon
And it seems like it goes on like this forever
You must forgive me
If I'm up and gone to Carolina in my mind

[Chorus]
In my mind, I'm gone to Carolina
Can't you see the sunshine?
Can't you just feel the moonshine?
Ain't it just like a friend of mine
To hit me from behind?
Yes, I'm gone to Carolina in my mind

[Outro]
Gone to Carolina in my mind
And I'm gone to Carolina in my mind
Gone to Carolina in my mind
Gone, I'm gone
I'm gone
To say nice things about me
As I'm gone, to South Carolina
Got to carry on without me
I'm gone...
				

[Verse 1]
Just yesterday morning, they let me know you were gone
Suzanne, the plans they made put an end to you
I walked out this morning and I wrote down this song
I just can't remember who to send it to

[Chorus]
I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

[Verse 2]
Won't you look down upon me, Jesus
You've got to help me make a stand
You've just got to see me through another day
My body's aching and my time is at hand
And I won't make it any other way

[Chorus]
Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

[Verse 3]
Been walking my mind to an easy time, my back turned towards the sun
Lord knows when the cold wind blows it'll turn your head around
Well, there's hours of time on the telephone line to talk about things to come
Sweet dreams and flying machines in pieces on the ground

[Chorus]
Oh, I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you baby, one more time again, now

[Outro]
Thought I'd see you one more time again
There's just a few things coming my way this time around, now
Thought I'd see you, thought I'd see you, fire and rain, now
				

[Verse 1]
There is a young cowboy, he lives on the range
His horse and his cattle are his only companions
He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyons
Waiting for summer, his pastures to change

[Verse 2]
And as the moon rises, he sits by his fire
Thinking about women and glasses of beer
And closing his eyes as the dogies retire
He sings out a song which is soft but it's clear
As if maybe someone could hear

[Chorus]
Goodnight you moonlight ladies
Rockabye, sweet baby James
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose
Won't you let me go down in my dreams?
And rockabye sweet baby James

[Verse 3]
Now the first of December was covered with snow
So was the turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston
Now the Berkshires seemed dreamlike
On account of that frosting
With ten miles behind me and ten thousand more to go, whoa

[Verse 4]
There's a song that they sing when they take to the highway
A song that they sing when they take to the sea
A song that they sing of their home in the sky
Maybe you can believe it, if it helps you to sleep
But singing works just fine for me

[Chorus]
So goodnight all you moonlight ladies
Rockabye, sweet baby James
Deep greens and blues are the colors I choose
Won't you let me go down in my dreams?
And rockabye, sweet baby James
				

[Verse 1]
Take to the highway
Won't you lend me your name?
Your way and my way
They seem to be one and the same

[Pre-Chorus]
Mama don't understand it
She wants to know where I've been
I'd have to be some kind of natural born fool
To want to pass that way again

[Chorus]
But you know I could feel it
On a country road

[Verse 2]
Sail on home to Jesus
Won't you, good girls and boys?
I'm all in pieces
You can have your own choice

[Pre-Chorus]
But I can hear a heavenly band full of angels
And they're comin' to set me free
I don't know nothin' about the why or when
But I can tell you that it's bound to be

[Chorus]
Because I could feel it, child, yeah
On a country road
I guess my feet know where they want me to go
Walkin' on a country road, yeah

[Verse 1]
Take to the highway
Won't you lend me your name?
Your way and my way
They seem to be one and the same, child

[Pre-Chorus]
Mama don't understand it
She wants to know where I've been
I'd have to be some kind of natural born fool
To want to pass that way again

[Chorus]
But I could feel it, Lord
On a country road

[Pre-Chorus]
Walk on down
Walk on down
Walk on down
Walk on down
[Chorus]
Walk on down a country road

[Outro]
La-la la la-la, la-la la la la-la-laa
La-la-la-la la, la-la la la-la-la-l-la
Country road, woah yeah
Walkin' on a country road
Country road
Woo, country road
				

When you're down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, oh, 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 wherever I am
I'll come running, oh, yeah, baby
To see you again
Winter, spring, summer, or fall
All you got 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 now
Soon I be knocking
Upon your door

You just call out my name
And you know where ever I am
I'll come running, oh, yes I will
To see you again
Winter, spring, summer, or fall yeah
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 baby, don't you know about
Winter, spring, summer, or fall
Ain't now all you got to do is call
Lord, I'll be there, yes I will
You've got a friend

You've got a friend, yes
Ain't it good to know
You've got a friend
Ain't it good to know
You've got a friend
Oh yeah yeah
You've got a friend
				

Do me wrong, do me right
Tell me lies but hold me tight
Save your goodbyes for the morning light
But don't let me be lonely tonight

Say goodbye and say hello
Sure enough good to see you, but it's time to go
Don't say yes but please don't say no
I don't want to be lonely tonight

Go away then, damn you, go on and do as you please yeah
You ain't gonna see me gettin' down on my knees
I'm undecided, and your heart's been divided
You've been turnin' my world upside down

Do me wrong, do me right right now, baby
Go on and tell me lies but hold me tight
Save your goodbyes for the morning light, morning light
But don't let me be lonely tonight

I don't want to be lonely tonight, no, no
I don't want to be lonely tonight

I don't want to be lonely tonight
				

Moving in silent desperation
Keeping an eye on the Holy Land
A hypothetical destination
Say, who is this walking man?

Well, the leaves have come to turning
And the goose has gone to fly
And bridges are for burning
So don't you let that yearning
Pass you by

Walking man, walking man walks
Well, any other man stops and talks
But the walking man walks

Well the frost is on the pumpkin
And the hay is in the barn yeah
And Pappy's come to rambling on
Stumbling around drunk
Down on the farm

And the walking man walks
Doesn't know nothing at all
Any other man stops and talks
But the walking man walks on by
Walk on by

Most everybody's got seed to sow
It ain't always easy for a weed to grow, no no
So he don't hoe the row for no one
For sure one's always missing
And something is never quite right
Ah, but who would want to listen to you
Kissing his existence good night

Walking man walk on by my door
Well, any other man stops and talks
But not the walking man
He's the walking man
Born to walk

Walk on walking man
Well now, would he have wings to fly
Oh would he be free
Golden wings against the sky
Walking man, walk on by
So long, walking man, so long
				

[Intro]
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

[Verse 1]
I needed the shelter of someone's arms
There you were
I needed someone to understand my ups and downs
There you were
With sweet love and devotion
Deeply touching my emotion

[Chorus]
I want to stop and thank you, baby
I want to stop and thank you, baby, yes, I do
How sweet it is to be loved by you, feels so fine
How sweet it is to be loved by you

[Verse 2]
I close my eyes at night
Wondering where would I be without you in my life
Everything I did was just a bore
Everywhere I went, it seems I'd been there before
But you brighten up for me all of my days
With a love so sweet in so many ways

[Chorus]
I want to stop and thank you, baby
I just want to stop and thank you, baby, whoa, yes
How sweet it is to be loved by you
It's just like sugar sometimes
How sweet it is to be loved by you
Whoa, yeah

[Bridge]
You were better to me than I was to myself
For me, there's you and there ain't nobody else

[Chorus]
I want to stop and thank you, baby
I just want to stop and thank you, baby, oh, yes
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you

[Outro]
Oh, now, how sweet it is to be loved by you
It's like jelly, baby, oh, now
How sweet it is to be loved by you
Just like honey to the bee, baby, yeah, now
How sweet it is to be loved by you
How sweet it is to be loved by you
				

[Verse 1]
Way down here, you need a reason to move
Feel a fool, running your stateside games
Lose your load, leave your mind behind, Baby James

[Chorus 1]
Oh, Mexico
It sounds so simple, I just got to go
The sun's so hot I forgot to go home
Guess I'll have to go now

[Verse 2]
Americano got the sleepy eye
But his body's still shaking like a live wire
Sleepy Señorita with the eyes on fire

[Chorus 2]
Oh, Mexico
It sounds so sweet with the sun sinking low
The moon's so bright like to light up the night
Make everything all right

[Verse 3]
Baby's hungry and the money's all gone
The folks back home don't wanna talk on the phone
She gets a long letter, sends back a postcard
Times are hard

[Chorus 3]
Oh, down in Mexico
I never really been so I don't really know
Oh, Mexico
I guess I'll have to go
Oh, Mexico
I never really been but I'd sure like to go
Sing woah, Mexico
I guess I'll have to go now

[Outro]
Talking 'bout in Mexico (Mexico)
In a honky-tonk down in Mexico
Oh, Mexico, Mexico, Mexico
Oh, Mexico, Mexico, Mexico
Oh, Mexico, Mexico, Mexico
Oh, Mexico, Mexico
				

You can play the game, you can act out the part
Though you know it wasn't written for you
Tell me, how do you stand there with your broken heart
Ashamed of playing the fool?

One thing can lead to another
It doesn't take any sacrifice
Oh, father and mother, and sister and brother
If it feels nice, don't think twice

Just shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna be just fine
If we only will
If we only will, only
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna be much better
If we only will

You can run but you cannot hide
This is widely known
Listen to what you plan to do with your fool's pride
When you're all by yourself alone

Once you tell somebody the way that you feel
You can feel it beginning to ease
I think it's true what they say about the squeaky wheel
Always getting the grease

Better to shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna turn out right
If we only will
If we only will, what you know
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Things are gonna be much better
If we only will

Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel

Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
Shower the people you love with love
Show them the way that you feel
				

Well, I'm a steamroller, baby
I'm bound to roll all over you
Yes, I'm a steamroller, baby
I'm bound to roll all over you
I'm gonna inject your soul with some sweet rock 'n roll
And shoot you full of rhythm and blues

Well, I'm a cement mixer
A churning urn of burning funk
Yes, I'm a cement mixer for you, baby
A churning urn of burning funk
Well, I'm a demolition derby
A hefty hunk of steaming junk

Now, I'm a napalm bomb, baby
Just guaranteed to blow your mind
Yeah, I'm a napalm bomb for you, baby
Guaranteed to blow your mind
And if I can't have your love for my own
Sweet child, won't be nothing left behind
It seems how lately, baby
I'm a steamroller for you baby child
