Can't take no more lies or cheating
I had took a long hard
Dragged out miserable life you see
Nothing means much to me

Stand up call out
Don't take nothing low down
It's much better
When you're making your own way
Your own say

Won't we feel good that morning
Going along our way together
Won't we feel good that day hey hey hey hey
Going along together
Taking our time in seeking our pleasure
Won't we feel good that day hey hey hey hey

Won't we feel good that morning
Going along our way
Won't we feel good that morning
Won't we feel good that day
Won't we feel good that morning
Won't we feel good that day

Stand up call out
Don't take nothing low down
It's much better
When you're making your own way
Your own say

Won't we feel good that morning
Going along our way together
Won't we feel good that day hey hey hey hey
Going along together
Taking our time in seeking our pleasure
Won't we feel good that day hey hey hey hey

Won't we feel good that morning
Going along our way together
Won't we feel good that day hey hey hey hey

Quiet shadows plays in the evening
In the cold sea the sun went down
Bright stars on the blue water
In the hours of the night

All the sweetness touched by hands
Everything's close but so far away
Everything's given to people as a law

The wind rests
The creek is like a mirror
And the sailor takes down the sails
Over the meadow
The mist is dancing
You can't believe it
But this is all yours

All the sweetness touched by hands
Everything's close but so far away
Everything's given to people as a law

[Break]

Quiet shadows plays in the evening
In the cold sea the sun went down
Bright stars on the blue water
In the hours of the night

All the sweetness touched by hands
Everything's close but so far away
Everything's given to people as a law

Standing in the shadow
Of a Spanish lady
Second hand bargain
With a song so sad
And a rose in her hand
Was crying

Lonely rooms in back of bars
Bright lights and sitting out in the stars
There was room to write a poem

But the words don't come easy
They're hung on frozen lips standing there
While the world's anticipating love
And the words don't come easy
Lady laughs a laughing tear and says
All we really need today
Is the sun in our life
The sun in our life

Money was only mean to buy time
No money left over
Made the street to show that the door was open
Out in the silence of the angry crowd
Only the beggars crying aloud
Not a precious thing was spoken

But the words don't come easy
They're hung on frozen lips standing there
While the world's anticipating love
And the words don't come easy
Lady laughs a laughing tear and says
All we really need today
Is the sun in our life
The sun in our life

I'm looking through at yesterday
All my life thrown away
Keep searching for the same old clue
How can I get to you

Cast your spell upon me one more time
I wanna feel your magic woman touch
Cast your spell upon me one more time
I wanna feel your magic woman touch

I know there's been a change in me
Ask me why I don't know
My friends no longer speak to me
Pass me by I don't know

Cast your spell upon me one more time
I wanna feel your magic woman touch
Cast your spell upon me one more time
I wanna feel your magic woman touch

I've made up my mind
On what I'm gonna do
This feeling inside
Making it all right, making it all right
Making it all right with me

[Break]

Cast your spell upon me one more time
I wanna feel your magic woman touch
Cast your spell upon me one more time
I wanna feel your magic woman touch

Cast your spell upon me one more time
I wanna feel your magic woman touch
Cast your spell upon me one more time
I wanna feel your magic woman touch

Cast your spell upon me one more time
I wanna feel your magic woman touch

He came riding in on a sunrise
A hot west Texas day
A fancy man in a painted wagon
Some fancy things to say

Looks like you folks'll need some water
Well water is my game
For the small price of a hundred dollars
I bet you I can make it rain

So get away all non-believers or the rain'll never come
Someone start a fire burning, somebody beat the drum
Some may think I'm crazy for making all these claims
But I swear before the day is over you folks'll see some rain

They all just stood a staring trying to believe
But there was one named Lizzy Cooper said he was a lying cheat
She said you call yourself a rainman, well you oughta be ashamed
For starting all these people dreaming thinking you can make it rain

So get away all non-believers or the rain'll never come
Someone keep the fire burning, somebody beat the drum
Some may think I'm crazy for making all these claims
But I swear before the day is over you folks'll see some rain

Oh Lizzy, a man's gotta have a dream
And if you can't walk on the inside with me
I'll meet you in between
Come with me Lizzy
And the stars'll write your name
And if you still think I'm lying to you
Look yonder here comes the rain

So get away all non-believers or the rain'll never come
Someone keep the fire burning, somebody beat the drum
Some may think I'm crazy for making all these claims
But I swear before the day is over you folks'll see some rain

So get away all non-believers or the rain'll never come
Someone keep the fire burning, somebody beat the drum
Some may think I'm crazy for making all these claims
But I swear before the day is over you folks'll see some rain

Good to see you again, Rosie
I know I've changed a lot since then
You're lookin' fine, babe

Three years that ain't long, Rosie
I still remember our song
When you were mine, babe

Times change, times change I know
But it sure moves slow
Down river when you're locked away

Hey why didn't you write, Rosie
I stayed awake most every night
Countin' my time babe

Oh no I ain't mad Rosie
I know you had to mind your dad
But just a line babe

Oh sure I remember then
We went off to school
Ain't that right
Well he ain't no fool

He's a good man Rosie
Hold him tight as you can
Don't ask me why babe

Yeah nice seein' you again Rosie
Me I got things to do
Well good-bye babe

[Chorus 2x]

Rosie down river
Down river when you're locked away
Rosie I'm losing
Down river

Got to stop from running
Got to make myself slow down
If I need some loving
Got to find some love around

I can't hold on
It's been so long
And I'd do anything
To find some love good love
If I slow down
If I take a look around
Maybe I'll come across
Some home sweet home

[Chorus:]
If I slow down
Yeah if I slow down
If I slow down
Yeah if I slow down

[Verse 2]

[Verse 1]

[Chorus]

Young girls and porches are filling out
Tempers and torches are burning
Brown is the colour of town
Living in thunder

Hair on my top lip now I'm a man
I so often hear and feel it
Nice paying the price for being kept under

[Chorus:]
Mama says don't hang around that front gate too long
Boys like you who stay too late are surely gonna go so wrong
But Mama there's safety in numbers
It's the first time I've ever felt strong
Delaware Taggett and the Outlaw Boys
Adding a laugh to the Broadway noise
Slipping your mind where your mind don't wanna go

Off-duty porters lay sleeping wives
On-duty daughters are finding
Why just touching a boy gives a thrill like a shiver

Whispers and shadows are moving fast
No prizes given to people
Last drowned in the past down on the river

[Chorus]

Sweet silver angels over the sea
Please come down flying low for me

One time I trusted a stranger
'cause I heard his sweet song
And it was gently enticing me
Though there was something wrong
When I turned he was gone

[Chorus:]
Blinding me his song remains reminding me
He's a bandit and a heartbreaker
Oh but Jesus was a crossmaker

[Chorus]

He wages war with the devil
A pistol by his side
And though he chases him out my window and
Won't give him a place to hide
He keeps his door open wide
Fighting him
He lights a lamp inviting him
He's a bandit and a heartbreaker
Oh but Jesus was a crossmaker

[Chorus]

I hear the thunder come rumbling
The light never looked so dim
I see the junction get nearer
And danger's in the wind
And either road's looking grim

Hiding me I flee desire's dividing me
He's a bandit and a heartbreaker
Oh but Jesus was a crossmaker
Yeah but Jesus was a crossmaker

[Chorus:]
Take me home
Sailing on with Romany
To and fro on a icy morning
Feeling calm to have an old friend 'round
Feeling warm to see the wind blow down

Take me home
Where saints and children laughing
Tell the Dutchman ships are passing
Feeling safe to reach the harbor sound

Feeling warm to see the wind blow down

Take me home
Leave the galley sailors talking
Leave the bridge and captain's walking
Feeling naked on the covered ground
Feeling warm to see the wind blow down

The wind blowed
Down in the moonless light
The sea was dark
The breeze was light
Everyone's thoughts were their own
Caught by the ocean thief
The bow hit on a coral reef
Romany sank like a stone

[Chorus]

[Verse 1]

[Chorus:]
I'm gonna be blue in the morning
I'm gonna be blue in the morning
Soon as I saw the look in her eyes
Should known it was over over

I'm gonna be blue in the morning
'Cause I can't take a warning
See a girl and fall in love
With just a pretty face so easy easy

God help me don't wanna be
Don't wanna be a loser
Loser no more
Please help me help me to see
Help me to see the chooser
Chooser for sure

[Verse 2]

[Chorus 2x]

If you know you're right
When the others are wrong
It's hard to sit and take it
They treat you like you've lost your senses
Call you troublemaker

I'm not trying to cause you trouble
I don't wanna fight
Someone's got to stand up sometime
And do what's right

[Chorus:]
Just have the courage of
The courage of your convictions

People tell you do what's right
And set and good example
Sometimes right means who to hate
Listen to the people
I'm not trying to mess your mind up
But it's plain to see
People pulling from both sides
It's agitating me

So have the courage of
The courage of your convictions

People teaming up on sides
Hating one another
Know your heart before you join
A team to hurt your brother

If there's a way to lead us from this
Like in troubled times
It won't be found through blood and hate
But through courageous minds

[Chorus]
