Cowgirl in the Sand (Young) - 18:11
Hello cowgirl in the sand
Is this place
At your command
Can I stay here
For a while
Can I see your
Sweet sweet smile
Old enough now
To change your name
When so many love you
Is it the same?
It's the woman in you
That makes you want
To play this game.
Hello ruby in the dust
Has your band
Begun to rust
After all
The sin we've had
I was hopin' that
We'd turn back
Old enough now
To change your name
When so many love you
Is it the same
It's the woman in you
That makes you want
To play this game.
Hello woman of my dreams
This is not
The way it seems
Purple words
On a grey background
To be a woman
And to be turned down
Old enough now
To change your name
When so many love you
Is it the same
It's the woman in you
That makes you want
To play this game.
Walk on (Young) - 4:00
I hear some people
Been talkin' me down,
Bring up my name,
Pass it 'round.
They don't mention
Happy times
They do their thing,
I'll do mine.
Ooh baby,
That's hard to change
I can't tell them
How to feel.
Some get stoned,
Some get strange,
But sooner or later
It all gets real.
Walk on, walk on,
Walk on, walk on.
I remember
The good old days,
Stayed up all night
Gettin' crazed.
Then the money
Was not so good,
But we still did
The best we could.
Ooh baby,
That's hard to change
I can't tell them
How to feel.
Some get stoned,
Some get strange,
But sooner or later
It all gets real.
Walk on, walk on,
Walk on, walk on.
Fool for Your Love (Young) - 3:20
All through the lonesome night
I tossed and I turned
Lost in these dreams of you
Since the day I learned
How could you give yourself
To another man
A fool for your love,
Fool for your love.
Fool for your love.
Look how your eyes have changed,
All the love has gone
Where did I lose you babe,
What did I do wrong
How could you give yourself
To another man
I'm a fool for your love,
Fool for your love.
Fool for your love.
Now you won't say goodbye,
But you don't want to stay
I never thought that I
Would lose you this way.
A fool for your love.
All through the lonesome night
I tossed and I turned
Lost in these dreams of you
Since the day I learned
How could you give yourself
To another man
A fool for your love,
Fool for your love.
Fool for your love.
A fool for your love,
I hold on your love.
I'm just a fool in love with you.
I'm a fool, fool for your love
I'm just a fool for your love
I'm a fool for you.
Peace of Mind (Young) - 4:51
You know it takes
A long, long time
You know it takes
A long, long time
You love her so
And still you know
That you will never
Want to let her go
Unless you leave her first
Then you come out on top
But, still
There's just one thing
You haven't got.
Peace of mind
Like when you treated her kind
It's hard to face
That open space.
You know it takes
A long, long time
You know it takes
A long, long time
When first you gave
And shared your soul
Showed her all those things
That take their toll
She knows your weak spot
But, she still gets you hot
So you do it again
Reveal what lies within.
And go for peace of mind
Like when you treated her kind
It's hard to face
That open space.
You're lookin' for
Peace of mind
Anywhere you can find
Still searchin' for
Peace of mind.
You know it takes
A long, long time
You know it takes
A long, long time.
Words (Between the Lines of Age) (Young) - 11:07
Someone and someone
Were down by the pond
Looking for something
To plant in the lawn.
Out in the fields they
Were turning the soil
I'm sitting here hoping
This water will boil
When I look through the windows
And out on the road
They're bringing me presents
And saying hello.
Singing words, words
Between the lines of age.
Words, words
Between the lines of age.
If I was a junkman
Selling you cars,
Washing your windows
And shining your stars,
Thinking your mind
Was my own in a dream
What would you wonder
And how would it seem?
Living in castles
A bit at a time
The King started laughing
And talking in rhyme.
Singing words, words
Between the lines of age.
Words, words
Between the lines of age.
Motorcycle Mama (Young) - 4:12
Motorcycle Mama
Won't you lay your big spike down
Motorcycle Mama
Won't you lay your big spike down
I always get in trouble
When you bring it round
Motorcycle Mama
Won't you lay it down.
I'm runnin',
I'm runnin', I'm runnin'
Down the proud highway
Yeah, I'm runnin',
I'm runnin', I'm runnin'
Down the proud highway
And as long as I keep movin'
I won't need a place to stay.
Motorcycle Mama
Won't you lay your big spike down
Motorcycle Mama
Won't you lay your big spike down
I always get in trouble
When you bring that round
Motorcycle Mama
Won't you lay it down.
Well I'm here to deliver
I hope you can read my mail
I just escaped last night
From the memory county jail
I see your box is open
And you flag is up
My message is ready
If there's time enough.
Motorcycle Mama
Won't you lay your big spike down
Motorcycle Mama
Won't you lay your big spike down
I always get in trouble
When you bring it round
Motorcycle Mama
Won't you lay it down.
Tonight's the Night (Young) - 10:33
Tonight's the night,
Tonight's the night
Tonight's the night,
Tonight's the night
Tonight's the night,
Tonight's the night
Tonight's the night,
Tonight's the night.
Bruce Berry was a working man
He used to load that Econoline van.
A sparkle was in his eye
But his life was in his hands.
Well, late at night
When the people were gone
He used to pick up my guitar
And sing a song in a shaky voice
That was real as the day was long.
Tonight's the night, yes it is,
Tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, yes it is,
Tonight's the night.
Early in the mornin'
At the break of day
He used to sleep
Until the afternoon.
If you never heard him sing
I guess you won't too soon.
'Cause people let me tell you
It sent a chill
Up and down my spine
When I picked up the telephone
And heard that he'd died
Out on the mainline.
Tonight's the night,
Tonight's the night
Tonight's the night,
Tonight's the night.
Bruce Berry was a working man
He used to load that Econoline van.
Well, early in the morning
At just about the break of day
He used to sleep
Until the afternoon.
Tonight's the night, yes it is,
Tonight's the night
Tonight's the night,
Tonight's the night
Tonight's the night,
Tonight's the night
Tonight's the night,
Tonight's the night.
All Along the Watchtower (Dylan) - 8:11
There must be some kind of way out of here
Said the joker to the theif
There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief
Business men they drink my wine
Plowmen dig my earth
None will level on the wine
Nobody of it is worth
No reason to get exited
The thief he kindly spoke
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
But you and I we've been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us talk falsely now
The hour's getting late
All along the watchtower
The princess kept the view
While all the women came
And went bare feet servants too
Outside in the cold distance
A wild cat did growl
Two riders were aproaching
And the wind began to howl
