It was an early mornin' bar room And the place just opened up And the little man came in so fast And he started at his cups And the broad who served the whiskey She was a big old friendly girl She tried to fight her empty nights By smilin' at the world...

When I met America, I didn't know her name But it seems she was something special even then I knew it just the same Yes, I loved the things she stood for Help the helpless make people free And I knew that an American is what I wanted to be It was the s...

Well, I've sung out one more evening, and I'm wrung out, feeling beat. I walk on out the door once more to an empty city street. A Good guitar will serve you well when you're living in the lights but it's never going to warm you in the middle of the nig...

She wasn't very pretty, She wasn't very smart, But everything she said to him came strait from her heart. Write a song about me, Sing a song that's of my day, Everybody special in there ordinary way. Looking for an anthem, He was looking for a song,...

Turning on my pillow, thinking kind of strange. The color is of midnight in this room. The cars outside are coughing and it's kind of hard to sleep and there's neon out the window, not the moon. And it was just an any old kind of day, The kind that comes...

When I rearrange the pieces of the puzzle of my past I sigh at the heartaches, relive the laughs And I think about the moments that have left their mark And the too few faces that shine a little light in the dark If you don't mind I'm gonna tell you a sto...

Oh, barefoot boy, once he came unto a land of forests, and of streams that tumbled through the meadows to the sea. He called it home for many were its wonders and he learned to live upon the land taking only what he needed. Barefoot boy he don't like t...

So you're 13 and there's a silent scream out there, And you can hear it. Just your basic protest song. Now you're 16 and there's a danger in the air, And you can see it. Just your basic protest song. Turnin' 20 and it's around you everywhere, And you...

The kid heard the word up in Brooklyn. It was his second year of medical school. He went and stashed some jeans into his guitar case, His father said, "You're a fool". But the boy jumped on board a Greyhound bus, It took him two days to get to Mobile, An...

His mama was a midnight woman His daddy was a drifter drummer One night they put it together Nine months later came the little black bummer He was a laid back lump in the cradle Chewing the paint chips that fell from the ceiling Whenever he cried he got...

She was crazy (she was beautiful), I guess she had to be. I was angry (you were blind), because I could not see. I saw only what her cigarettes had done to her skin. I should have known the outside world would reveal what was within. She was burning her...

I could tell you that I get asked a lot of times How I can change the world I've also have been asked a lot of times How I can be a rock and roll singer And do you see what's on the end of my fingers? Calluses and what that means is If you're willing to play...

Caroline Comes from the rain Glistening and shivering She laughs as she shakes off the weather Caroline Whispers her words Saying she'll always love me At least when we are together Caroline Starts closing in Surrounding the spot Where wa...

My child arrived just the other day He came to the world in the usual way But there were planes to catch and bills to pay He learned to walk while I was away And he was talkin' 'fore I knew it, and as he grew He'd say "I'm gonna be like you dad You know...

I was cramped into a coffee house pew two dollar coke in my hand listening to the music run through and out of a drowning man. Ten years ago I first heard him singing to a screaming crazy crowd now there's thirteen loyal people trying to sound that loud...

All my life's a circle Sunrise and sundown The moon rose through the nighttime Till the day break comes around All my life's a circle But I can't tell you why The seasons spinning round again The years keep rolling by It seems like I've been here before I can...

If you were looking for a way to make me mad it was a sure fire way you found Acting like a half wit fool, laying your money around Well I came back here to tell you Lou, 'bout what you almost did Don't you ever put the cash on the counter Lou, when I'm wit...

Old john joseph was a man with two first names They left him in the railroad yard when they took away the trains. And only one run a week comes on roaring down that line So all he got to worry 'bout is time. I come by in the evening, to hear 'bout where h...
