By the shore's of old Lake Michigan Where the "hawk wind" blows so cold An old Cub fan lay dying In his midnight hour that tolled Round his bed, his friends had all gathered They knew his time was short And on his head they put this bright blue cap From his al...

Down to the banana republics, down to the tropical sun Go the expatriated americans, hopin' to find some fun Some of them go for the sailing, caught by the lure of the sea Tryin' to find what is ailing, livin' in the land of the free Some of them are running...

The day you're born they sign a piece of paper To certify the date of your birth And the day you die they sign another Just to prove you've gone back to the earth And between those two pieces of paper There's the truth that is so hard to find And the story of...

One evening as the sun went down and the jungle fire was burning Down the track came a hobo hiking and he said boys I'm not turning I'm headin for a land that's far away beside the crystal fountains So come with me we'll go and see the Big Rock Candy Mountains...

Beneath the moonlit sky Shadows walk beside the water Sad goodbye whispered on the shore Hear those wind chimes play They serenade the shadow lovers Ring and fade away Like California promises I will never love another Wait for me, 'til I return But she never...

Looking out the window of this Hollywood hotel, You'd never know that it was Christmas Eve. The billboards and the neon took the place of silver bells, And the temperature is 84 degrees. I can hear the traffic on the crowded strip below As the palm trees poke...

A traveling salesman stopped for gas, as it was getting late. He sure was getting tired, and it was snowing on the Interstate. He says, "Will you fill her up, my friend, and see if my oil's alright, And do you know a place where a tired-out traveling man might...

If I thought for just one moment I could take you at your word I'd let you in on almost anything I see but you been caught in the act of spreading secrets that you heard and they got a way of gettin' back to me (chorus) Total strangers come and tell me my li...

Well I wish I had some memories That I'd keep inside my trunk I wish I had a nickel for every beer I've drunk And I wish I had me a sailing ship That'd take me over the sea. I wish I could talk you in to coming home with me Is this the part where I came in I'v...

Come on babe, won't you take a chance, Your papa's gonna show you a brand new dance, You shuffle on down, now don't you be no drag And do that Election Year Rag. You take two steps to the left and two steps to the right, Then just land in the middle and you h...

Well.... I walk up to the mike and and then I shake my hips I take a deep breath and put a snare on my lips See me on the street you wouldn't know my name But imitating Elvis is my claim to fame So when you put my imitation name in lights There'll be imitation...

She is history, No one will give her a star on the walk, She'd have a hundred if pillows could talk, Where have I seen her before? She's the face on the cutting room floor. Life's no mystery, Acting in school at the tenderest age, Lit up the room when she wal...

When Johnny got the letter It had no return address, But he recognized the writing And he didn't have to guess. The postmark said Seattle Just a thousand miles away, So he put it in the drawer For fourteen days Every night he'd take that envelope And hold it...

Some people sit in the jacuzzi Every night and every day, They think that boiling water Will take all their blues away. To be successful is so stressful, So the hottentots unwind, And party, party, party While they're boiling their behinds. But not me, I lik...

How much tequila did I drink last night? It's really anybody's guess. I poured them so fast, I couldn't keep them in the glass, But this morning I sure am a mess. My head is four or five times its normal size And I got this big old cactus stuck between my eyes...

Last night I stayed up late to watch the sunrise It afforded a wonderful view Count the sheep till I cry Count the times you said goodbye I can't sleep when I can't sleep with you There's no need to think you'd remember A love like some forgotten I.O.U. I've...
