Roadhouse Blues
Yeah
Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel
Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel
Yeah, we're going to the roadhouse, gonna have a real good time

Yeah, the back of the roadhouse, they've got some bungalows
Yeah, the back of the roadhouse, they've got some bungalows
They dance for the people who like to go down slow

Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll all night long
Do it, Robby, do it

You gotta roll, roll, roll, you gotta thrill my soul, alright
Roll, roll, roll, roll, thrill my soul

Ashen lady, ashen lady
Give up your vows, give up your vows
Save our city, save our city right now

Well, I woke up this morning and I got myself a beer
Well, I woke up this morning and I got myself a beer
The future's uncertain and the end is always near

Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, hey, all night long

Waiting For The Sun
At first flash of Eden we race down to the sea
Standing there on freedom's shore
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun

Can you feel it now that spring has come
That it's time to live in the scattered sun
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun

Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting
Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting
Waiting for you to come along
Waiting for you to hear my song
Waiting for you to come along
Waiting for you to tell me what went wrong

This is the strangest life I've ever known
Yeah, waiting

Can you feel it now that spring has come
That it's time to live in the scattered sun
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun
Waiting for the sun

You Make Me Real
I really want you, really do
Really need ya, baby, God knows I do
Cos I'm not real enough without you
Oh, what can I do

You make me real
You make me feel like lovers feel
You make me throw away mistaken misery
Make me free, love, make me free

I really want you, really do
Really need ya, baby, really do
Well, I'm not real enough without you
Oh, what can I do

You make me real
Only you, baby, have that appeal
So let me slide in your tender sunken sea
Make me free, love, make me free

You make me real, alright
You make me feel like lovers feel
You make me throw away mistaken misery
Make me free, love, make me free
Make me free, you make me real

Peace Frog
There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles - she came
She came - there's blood in the streets, it's up to my knees - she came
She came - there's blood in the street, the town of Chicago - she came
She came - blood on the rise, it's followin' me

Just about the break of day
She came in, then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair

She came - blood on the streets runs a river of sadness, yeah
She came - blood in the streets, it's up to my thighs
She came - the river runs down the leg of the city
She came - the women are crying, red rivers of weeping

She came in town and then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair

Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding
Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile, egg-shell mind

Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven
Blood stains the roofs and the palm trees of Venice
Blood in my love in the terrible summer
Bloody red sun of fantastic L.A.

Blood screams her brain to chop off her fingers
Blood will be born in the birth of a nation
Blood is the rose of mysterious union

There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles
Blood in the streets, it's up to my knees
Blood in the street, the town of Chicago
Blood on the rise, it's followin' me

Blue Sunday
I found my own true love was on a blue Sunday
She looked at me and told me I was the only 
One in the world
Now I have found my girl

My girl awaits for me in tender time
My girl is mine
She is the world, she is my girl

La, la, la, la

My girl awaits for me in tender time
My girl is mine
She is the world, she is my girl

Ship Of Fools
The human race was dyin' out
No one left to scream and shout
People walkin' on the moon
Smog will get ya pretty soon

Everyone was hangin' out
Hangin' up and hangin' down
Hangin' in and holdin' fast
Hope our little world will last

Yeah, along came Mister Goodtrips
Looking for a new a ship
Come on, people, better climb on board
Come on, baby, now we're going home
Ship of fools, ship of fools

The human race was dyin' out
No one left to scream and shout
People walkin' on the moon
Smog gonna get you pretty soon

Ship of fools, ship of fools
Ship of fools, ship of fools
Ship of fools, ship of fools, ship of fools
Hey, climb on board
Ship's gonna leave ya, oh, far behind
You gotta climb on board, yeah
Ship of fools, ship of fools

Land Ho!
Grandma loved a sailor who sailed the frozen sea
Grandpa was the whaler and he took me on his knee
He said, "Son, I'm going crazy from livin' on the land
Got to find my shipmates and walk in foreign sands."

This old man was graceful, with silver in his smile
He smoked a briar pipe and he walked for country miles
Singing songs of shady sisters and old time liberty
Songs of love and songs of death and songs to set men free, hey

I've got three ships and sixty men
A course for ports unread
I'll stand at mast, let north winds blow
Till half of us are dead - land ho

Well, if I get my hands on a dollar bill
Gonna buy a bottle and drink my fill
If I get my hands on a number five
Gonna skin that little girl alive
If I get my hand on a number two
Come back home and marry you, marry you, marry you, alright
Hey, land ho
Hey, land ho

If I get back home and I feel alright
You know, babe, I'm gonna love ya tonight
Love you tonight, love you tonight
Hey, land ho
Hey, land ho
Hey, land ho

The Spy
I'm a spy in the house of love
I know the dream that you're dreamin' of
I know the word that you long to hear
I know your deepest secret fear

I'm a spy in the house of love
I know the dream that you're dreamin' of
I know the word that you long to hear
I know your deepest secret fear

I know everything, everything you do
Everywhere you go, everyone you know

I'm a spy in the house of love
I know the dream that you're dreamin' of
I know the word that you long to hear
I know your deepest secret fear
I know your deepest secret fear
I know your deepest secret fear

I'm a spy
I can see what you do
And I know

Queen Of The Highway
She was a princess, Queen of the highway
Sign on the road said, "Take us to Madre."

No one could save her, ave the blind tiger
He was a monster, black, dressed in leather
She was a princess, Queen of the highway

Now they are wedded, she is a good girl
Naked as children out in the meadow
Naked as children, wild as can be
Soon to have offspring, start it all over
Start it all over

American boy, American girl
Most beautiful people in the world
Son of frontier Indian swirl
Dancing through the midnight whirlpool
Formless, hope it can continue a little while longer, come on

Indian Summer
I love you the best
Better than all the rest
I love you the best
Better than all the rest
That I meet in the summer
Indian summer

That I meet in the summer
Indian summer
I love you the best
Better than all the rest

Maggie M'Gill
Miss Maggie M'Gill, she lived on a hill
Her daddy got drunk and left her the will
So she went down, down to Tangie Town
People down there really like to get it on

Now if you're sad and you're feeling blue
Go out and buy a brand new pair of shoes
And you go down, down to Tangie Town
Cos people down there really like to get it on, get it on, yeah

Illegitimate son of a rock and roll star
Illegitimate son of a rock and roll star
Mom met dad in the back of a rock and roll car, yeah

Well, I'm an old blues man and I think that you understand
I've been singing the blues ever since the world began, yeah

Maggie, Maggie, Maggie M'Gill
Roll on, roll on, Maggie M'Gill
Maggie, Maggie, Maggie M'Gill
Roll on, roll on, Maggie M'Gill
Maggie, Maggie, Maggie M'Gill
Roll on, roll on, Maggie M'Gill
