Analog Man (Gannin Arnold, Drew Hester, Joe Walsh ) - 4:03
Welcome to cyberspace, I'm lost in the fog
Everything's digital I'm still analog
When something goes wrong
I don't have a clue
Some 10-year-old smart ass has to show me what to do
Sign on with high speed you don't have to wait
Sit there for days and vegetate
I access my email, read all my spam, I'm an analog man.
The whole world's living in a digital dream
It's not really there
It's all on the screen
Makes me forget who I am
I'm an analog man
Yeah I'm an analog man in a digital world
I'm gonna get me an analog girl
Who loves me for what I am
I'm an analog man
What's wrong with vinyl, I think it sounds great
LPs, 45s, 78s but that's just the way I am
I'm an analog man
Turn on the tube, watch until dawn
One hundred channels, nothing is on
Endless commercials, endless commercials, endless commercials
The whole world's glued to the cable TV
It looks so real on the big LCD
Murder and violence are rated PG, too bad for the children
They are what they see
The whole world's living in a digital dream
It's not really there
It's all on the screen
Makes me forget who I am
I'm an analog man
Yeah I'm an analog man in a digital world
I'm gonna get me an analog girl
Who loves me for what I am
I'm an analog man
Yeah I'm an analog man in a digital world
Wrecking Ball (Tommy Lee James, Joe Walsh) - 3:45
You're wound up tight like a hairpin trigger
Just about ready to snap
You're driving 'round like a crash test dummy
All over the map
You're doing this, you're doing that
One thing leads to another
And maybe some day if you ever sleep
You're gonna wake up and discover
You live your life like a wrecking ball
Just get carried away
And then you bounce back from another close call
Live your life like a wrecking ball
You're at the table, it's the same old game
Double up the bet
You keep on hoping that your luck will change
It hasn't happened yet
You live your life like a wrecking ball
Pretty high price to pay
And then you slam into another brick wall
Live your life like a wrecking ball
[Guitar solo]
Live your life like a wrecking ball
Pretty high price to pay
And then you slam into another brick wall
Live your life like a wrecking ball
And you know it's tough to be the last man standing
When you're crawling on the floor
You're coming in for a bumpy landing
Better circle 'round some more
You live your life like a wrecking ball
Just get carried away
Then you bounce back from another close call
Live your life like a wrecking ball
Lucky That Way (Tommy Lee James, Joe Walsh) - 4:14
I'm not saying that I'm something special
But you might know my name to some degree
Sometimes I can't believe that I'm still standing
And it feels pretty good to be me
I get to live out here in California
I got a palm tree and a swimming pool
Have some fun and try to play my music
Was all I really said I could do
And if anybody asks me Joe how do you do it
Cause you do it with such style and grace
I just shake my head and smile
Look 'em in the eyes and say
I'm just lucky that way... just lucky
Got a good woman and she makes me happy
Most of the time I make her happy too
We decided we should live together
So we both said 'I do'
And when someone says Hey Joe, I saw you on TV
And how do you know what to play
I just shake my head and smile
Look 'em in the eyes and say
I'm just lucky that way
Started in the middle of nowhere
I didn't have far to fall
There were times I thought it was the end of the world
It didn't turn out so bad after all
Ya, I started in the middle of nowhere
I didn't have far to fall
And the times I thought it was the end of the world
Didn't turn out so bad after all
I'll let you all in on a little secret
If I could share with you a thing or two
If you just act like you know what you're doing
Everybody thinks that you do
And when anybody asks... me Joe, how do you do it
'Cause you do it with such style and grace
I just shake my head and smile, look 'em in the eyes and say
I'm just lucky, I'm just lucky
I'm just lucky that way
I'm just lucky that way
Spanish Dancer (Joe Walsh) - 3:49
She stands with her head in the air
Sweet smell of perfume
Castanets, fan and a rose in her hair
Holds every heart in the room
The eyes of a Spanish Dancer
They dart and they glance
Is it my imagination?
Or just part of the dance
Oh how she moves in the moonlight
Everyone under her spell
Wondering just what her smile might imply
Only the shadows can tell
The eyes of a Spanish Dancer
They flirt and they tease
Even the best laid plans
Bring a man to his knees
[Guitar solo]
Heads follow her every move
Seems like time standing still
Measuring chances of taking her home
Shame that no one ever will
The eyes of a Spanish Dancer
Sparkle and glance
Is it my imagination?
Or just part of the dance
The eyes of a Spanish Dancer
Candlelight's glow of romance
Is it an invitation?
Or just part of the dance
The eyes of a Spanish Dancer
Band Played on (Tommy Lee James, Joe Walsh) - 4:03
Look out my window see a world that's on fire
Some people think that we should just let it burn
With all this ignorance the flames just get higher... Higher
All of these people with their misinformation
Must be the truth if it's a blog on the screen...
We got to buy it it's the latest creation
Too many icebergs out on the ocean
Too many chances to sink like a stone
The great titanic about to go under
And the band played on
Guess everybody needs a new pair of glasses
A lot of shit out there nobody can see
Yeah everybody's got their heads up their asses
We're all out here dead in the water
We got a leak in the boat
We're all up shit creak without a paddle
Just trying to stay afloat
[Guitar solo]
We're all out here dead in the water
We got a leak in the boat
We're up shit creak without any paddle
Just trying to stay afloat
Too many icebergs out on the ocean
Too many chances to sink like a stone
The great titanic about to go under
And the band played on
And the band played...
And the band played on
Family (Tommy Lee James, Joe Walsh) - 4:21
I've been alone most of my life
I've never known what it was like
To end up somewhere and not have to pack
To be among friends I know have my back
But now I'm here where I belong
I've finally found a wife and a home
And a family that matters, means more to me
Than anything I have ever believed
And when we are gathered together
Tell me how blessed can somebody be
Give thanks, break bread, say grace, bow heads
For all of this love that surrounds me
We laugh, we cry, stand together that's why
It's all being part of a family
Tried it before, never felt right
I never dreamed that someday I might
Be part of something bigger than me
It makes me feel humble, finally I see
All that we have is each other
And that's all that I'll ever need
Give thanks, take time to say that I'm
So grateful for all that surrounds me
We laugh, we cry, stand together that's why
It's all being part of a family
One Day at a Time (Joe Walsh) - 3:18
Well you know,
I was always the first to arrive at the party, ooh!
And the last to leave the scene of the crime
Well it started with a couple of beers,
And it went I dont know how many years,
Like a runaway train headed for the end of the line.
Well I finally got around to admit that I might have a problem.
But I thought it was just too damn big of a mountain to climb.
Well I got down on my knees and said 'Hey!' (la la la)
'I just cant go on livin' this way!' (la la la)
Guess I have to learn to live my life one day at a time.
Oh ya! One day at a time!
Oh ya! One day at a time!
Oh ya! One day at a time!
Oh ya! One day at a time!
Well I finally got around to admit that I was a problem.
When I used to put the blame on everybody's shoulders but mine.
All the friends I used to run with are gone, (la la la)
Lord, I hadn't planned on livin' this long. (la la la)
I have to learn to live my life one day at a time!
It was something it was too blind to see,
I got help from something greater than me...
And I have to learn to live my life one day at a time!
Hi-Roller Baby (Tim Armstrong) - 3:18
Hi roller baby come on and take a chance on me
Hi roller baby come on and take a chance on me
The days of summer are almost over
Let me know what you decided
Let me know if you never tried it
You can go if you don't like it
But if you want to gamble
You can always throw the dice
Hi roller baby come on and take a chance on me
Hi roller baby, we could be good, just you and I
It's a hustle yeah you got your stories
You say you're old and you're 25
It's a dirty world but you're not frightened
Your so sure you're so enlightened
But you see something in my eyes
That you've never seen before
Hi roller baby come on and take a chance on me
Hi roller baby, we could be good, just you and I
Funk 50 (Joe Walsh) - 1:57
I'm goin' on vacation
Find some place where my phone don't work
And while my phone can't ring
I'm gonna do my thing
I'm gonna get my mojo working
I'm gonna bang my drum
I got a hunch just what I need
I'm gonna get me some
I'm gonna take you with me
Find some place to hide
If and when they find us
At least we can say we tried
Yeah I'm gonna get my motor movin'
I'm gonna dress in black
Walk down that red carpet
Show everybody I'm back
Show everybody I'm back
