Breakdown
It's all right if you love me It's al l right if you don't I'm not afraid of you runnin' away Honey, I get the feelin' you won't
There is no sense in pretendin' Your eyes give you give away Something inside you is feelin' like I do We've said all there is to say
Baby, Breakdown, go ahead give it to me Breakdown, honey take me through the night Breakdown, I'm standing here, can you see? Breakdown, it's all right It's all right It's all right
Breakdown, go ahead give it to me Breakdown, honey take me through the night Breakdown, I'm standing here, can you see? Breakdown, it's all right It's all right It's all right Hometown Blues
Baby can't wait Baby gotta go Gonna do a number On the late night show Do a little song Do a little dance Gonna make the best Of her big chance
Don't really matter If she don't or if she do Tryin' to make the best of The ho metown blues
I got a friend Got a little girl Said she's the best In the whole wide world Said it so good Said its unreal Might not last But it's no big deal
Don't really matter If she don't or if she do Tryin' to make the best of The hometown blues
Baby, save me, save me, save me With your sweet smile Honey, I really need your love To help me kill a little bit o' time
All of the girls Run with the crowd They go wild When the lights go down They got a little money Live in a dream Wanna be the queen Of their little scene
Don't really matter If she don't or if she do Tryin' to make the best of The hometown blues The Wild One Forever
the moon sank as the wind blew The street lights slowly died They call you the wild one, said stay 'way from her Said she could love no one if she tried
But then somethin' I saw In your eyes told me right away That you were gonna have to be mine When the strangest feeling came over me Down inside no matter what it takes I'll never get over how good it felt When you finally held m e I'll never regret Baby those few hours Will grow in my head Forever
Well it's too bad, but I want you To know I understand Yeah, it's been a long time but I don't mind Yeah, it's all right I understand
Because somethin' I saw
In your eyes told me right away
That you were gonna have to be mine
When the strangest feeling came over me
Down inside I knew right away
I'll never get over how good it felt
When you finally kissed me
I'll never regret
Baby those few hours
Will grow in my head
Forever
Anything that's Rock -N- Roll
Some friends of mine and me stayed up all through the night Rockin' pretty steady til l the sky went light And I didn't go to bed, didn't go to work I picked up the telephone, told the boss he was a jerk Your mama don't like it when you run around with me But we gotta hip your mama that you gotta live free Don't need her, don't need school You don't like your daddy, and you don't like rules
So come baby, let's go, don't you hear the rock n' roll Playin' on the radio sounds so right Girl you better grab hold, everybody's gotta know Anything that' s rock n' roll fine
Oh, oh, oh, hold me little baby I'm a little bit shakin' and a little bit crazy But I know what I want, I want it right now While the electric guitar is playin' way up loud
So come baby let's go don't you hear the rock n' roll Playin' on the radio sounds so right Girl you better grab hold, everybody's gotta know Anything that's rock n' roll fine Fine, fine , it's so fine
Strangered in the Night
Well it was dark at midnight There was hardly any moon And no one really saw much No one was really sure But something didn't seem right Something seemed kinda queer The roar turned into whispers Everyone stood t here
When the sounds fit the night Something hiding from the light Like strangers in the night
Well I didn't see them shotguns I didn't see no knife I saw this crazy black guy With a demon in his eyes I heard him say "white man" I've seen that silver cue You don't remember me well But I remember you
When the sounds fit the night Something hiding from the light Like strangers in the night
Well the knife just left his fingers As the black guy took his aim White guys head exploded My God how much pain And then everybody scattered I heard some woman scream "God damn you old black bastard You've blown away my dreams"
When the sounds fit the night Something hiding from the light Like strangers in the night Fooled Again (I don't like it)
Strange voice on the telephone Tellin' me I better leave you 'lone Why won't somebody say what's goin' on Oh, oh, I think I've been through this before
Looks like I've been fooled again Looks like I'm the fool again I don't like it, I don't like it
You never said you had no longer to I need to know 'bout it if you do If two is one, I might as well be three It's good to see you think so much of me
Looks like I've been fooled again Looks like I'm the fool again I don't like it, I don't like it
You never said you had no longer to I need to know 'bout it if you do If two is one, I might as well be three It's good to see you think so much of me
Looks like I've been fooled again Looks like I'm the fool again I don't like it, I don't like it

White light cut a scar in the sky Thin line of silver The nigh t was all clouded with dreams Wind made me shiver Black and yellow pools of light Outside my window Luna come to me tonight I am a prisoner Luna glide down from the moon
The clouds are all silver and black Floating aro und me Luna come into my eyes Luna surround me With black and yellow pools of light Fall by my window Luna come to me tonight I am a prisoner Luna glide down from the moon
The clouds are all silver and black Floating around me Luna come into my eyes Luna surround me With black and yellow pools of light Fall by my window Luna come to me tonight I am a prisoner Luna glide down from the moon American Girl
Well she was an American girl Raised on promises She couldn't help thinkin that there Was a little more to life Somewhere else After all it was a great big world With lots of places to run to Yeah, an d if she had to die Tryin' she had one little promise She was gonna keep
Oh yeah, all right Take it easy baby Make it last all night She was an American girl
It was kind of cold that night She stood alone on her balcony She could the cars roll by Out on 441 Like waves crashin' in the beach And for one desperate moment there He crept back in her memory God it's so painful Something that's so close And still so far out of reach
Oh yeah, all right Take it easy baby Make it last all night She was an American girl

I walked to the window turned out the light Looked at the city went back through the night Yeah I stood in the darkness stood all alone Thank God for California thank God I'm going home

MAGNOLIA
From a table across the room She was signaling me with her eyes I walked over to be introduced I said hello, she just smiled And said I know a place not too far from here We could get away for awhile Yeah, that's when she kissed me and told me her name I never did tell her mine
Magnolia I remember the smell of the wind through the suite Magnolia And I know that she's out there somewhere in the world She's forgotten me but I remember her Magnolia
Well her lips were as warm As that wet southern night Her eyes were as black as the sky And I wondered aloud Just what I done right As I lay there with her by my side Then she took hold of my hand As she looked up at me And said now I must tell you good-bye And there in the moonlight As I watched her leave I felt a chill down inside
Magnolia I remember the smell of the wind through the suite Magnolia And I know that she's out there somewhere in the world She's forgotten me but I remember her Magnolia

LOUISIANA RAIN
Well it was out in California by the San Diego sea That was when I was taken in and it left its mark on me Yeah she nearly drove me crazy with all those China toys And I know she really didn't mean a thing to any of those sailor boys
Louisiana rain is falling at my feet Baby I'm noticing the change as I move down the street Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge
South Carolina put out its arms for me Right up until everything went black somewhere on Lonely Street And I still can't quite remember who helped me to my feet Thank God for a love that followed the angel's remedy
Louisiana rain is falling just like tears Running down my face, washing out the years Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge
Well I never will get over this English refugee Singing to the jukebox in some all-night beanery Yeah he was eating pills like candy and chasing them with tea You should have seen him lick his lips, that old black muddied beak
Louisiana rain is falling at my feet Baby I'm noticing the change as I move down the street Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge
Louisiana rain is falling just like tears Running down my face, washing out the years Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge
