Boys, they can't take my refrigerator now. They'll never get my car now. I paid cash for 'em and they're mine, and I'm keepin' 'em!

Keepin'-Th'Big-Ball Bouncin
Caught up in the nonsense.
Keepin'-th'big-ball bouncing.
And waiting for some annoucement...
To stop that loud sound that pounds!
Caught up in the nonsense.
Keepin'-th'big-ball bouncing.
Yet hypnotized to the aspect,
Folks stay ready to pounce.
But no one moves to unload the packs,
Stacked on their backs.
Mounting are their burdens,
And some like it like that!
Caught up in the nonsense.
Keepin'-th'big-ball bouncing.
Bitten lips,
Bleeding blood.
Taking it.
With the moaning.
Sighing in their pain with pleas...
As if they seek someone to please.
And squeezing sweat from handkerchieves...
In fields they're proud to plow,
But gone!
Caught up in the nonsense.
Keepin'-th'big-ball bouncing.
With a dragging of their feet...
To feed defeat on urban streets.
And reminiscing this so easy,
As if this beat succeeds.
And it does.
A nothingness achieved...
Like this does.
Caught up in the nonsense.
Keepin'-th'big-ball bouncing.
Keepin'-th'big-ball bouncing.
Keepin'-th'big-ball bouncing.
Keepin'-th'big-ball bouncing.
Keepin'-th'big-ball bouncing.
And...
A nothingness achieved,
Like this does.
Ahhhh...bouncin'
Keepin'-th'big-b all bouncin'
Keepin'-th'big-ball bouncin'
Keepin'-th'big-ball bouncin'
Ahhhh...bouncin'
Keepin'-th'big-ba ll bouncin'
Keepin'-th'big-ball bouncin'
Keepin'-th'big-ball bouncin'
Ahhhh...bouncin'
Keepin'-th'big-ba ll bouncin'
Keepin'-th'big-ball bouncin'
Keepin'-th'big-ball bouncin'
Ahhhh...bouncin'
Keepin'-th'big-ba ll bouncin'
Keepin'-th'big-ball bouncin'
Keepin'-th'big-ball bouncin'
And nothing gets achieved...

Keepin' Up
What's goin' on with the sun and the moon
'Cause one's goin' down to early, one's comin' up to soon
The hands on my old clock tell me once again that I'm fallin' behind
There's too much to do and not enough time
Keepin' up, I'm movin' as fast as I can
Keepin' up, in a circle that never ends
I can't stop like it or not I'm stuck
It's runnin' me to death and I'm out of my breath keepin' up
There's no such thing for me as a nine to five
It takes more sweat than that just to get us by
It's like I'm chasin' my own tail
'Cause Monday mornin' starts another stressed out week
The world is breathing down my neck I can feel the heat
Keepin' up, I'm movin' as fast as I can
Keepin' up, in a circle that never ends
I can't stop like it or not I'm stuck
It's runnin' me to death and I'm out of my breath keepin' up
By the time we make ends meet
There's not much left for you and me
And no job security
It sure makes it tough
Keepin' up
Keepin' up
I can't stop like it or not I'm stuck
It's runnin' me to death and I'm out of my breath keepin' up
I'm movin' as fast as I can
Keepin' up, in a circle that never ends
Keepin' up
I can't stop
Keepin' up, like it or not
Keepin' up, I'm movin' as fast as I can
Keepin' up, in a circle that never ends
Keepin' up
I can't stop
Keepin' up, like it or not
Keepin' up...

Keeping Our Love Alive
Cmon make my day
Thats what she said, pointing her gun
Your lucks on the run
Some fast talkin, quick step walkin, roadblocks ahead
You may say Im guilty but I try
Keepin our love alive
The judge and jury
The accused in fury--clutching at straws
Its all for the cause
Circumstances blew your chances
Its understood
You mat say Im guilty but I tried
Keepin our love alive, keepin our love alive
Treadin through the grapevine
Sendin you a lifeline
Dont let it go
You may say Im guilty but I tried
Keepin our love alive
Keepin our love alive

Keep On Keepin On
Keep on keepin on
By dickey betts and daniel toler
(c) 1980 emi blackwood music inc. and pangola publishing company
Tried everything I know,
Held my hand but now Ive got to show.
Trying to understand the things youve learned,
But you dont seem to be concerned at all.
Chorus:
Im gonna keep on keepin on,
Aint gonna leave you alone,
Keep on keepin on,
Aint gonna leave you alone,
Gonna get you to love me.
Sometimes it seems like theres just no way at all,
You just keep drifting and drifting away.
You aint never home, when I call you on the telephone,
But Im gonna fool around, get you back someday.
Chorus
I dont care what everybodys gotta say,
Im gonna love you anyway,
Even if you dont care any longer,
My little bit of love keeps getting stronger.
Chorus
Lord Im gonna, keep on keepin on.
Gonna, make you mine. love me...yeah.

Mine All Mine
Forgive me father
For I have sinned
Ive been through hell and back again
Shook hands with the devil
Looked him in the eye
Looked like a long lost friend
Anything you want
Any dirty deeds
Hes got everything
Except what I really need
Keepin me temporarily satisfied
But not one thing I tried
Filled me up inside
Or felt like mine
Mine, all mine
Yeah, the search goes on
The more I look
My world keeps getting smaller
Staring at the sun
Searchin for the light
Almost ended up blinded
Some only see
What they want to see
Claiming victory
Oh, but thats not me
Give me truth
Give me something real
I just want to feel
Like its
Mine, all mine
Oh really mine, all mine
Come on give me something
Something thats mine, all mine, all mine
Mine, all mine
All the words on the wall
Look the same in the mirror
Every riddle
Every clue
You got allah in the east
You got jesus in the west
Christ, whats a man to do?
Theyll find a cure for anything
Just kill the pain
Numb my brain
We see a man
Speaking the word of god
Provin to be a fraud
His own church applauds
Stop lookin out
Start lookin in
Be your own best friend
Stand up and say
Hey! this is mine
All mine, all mine, all mine
Baby, you got something
And I got something
And its mine, all mine, all mine
Mine, all mine
Mine, all mine
Yes, Im searching
Mine, all mine
Got to have it
Mine, all mine
Mine, all mine

Even Now
Words and music by bob seger
Theres a highway
A lonesome stretch of gray
It runs between us
And takes me far away
Out in the distance
Always within reach
Theres a crossroad
Where all the victims meet
I close my eyes
And see her face
Its all I want to see
And deep inside
It still amazes me
Even now
Shes all that I want
Shes all that I need
Even now
Shes givin it all
Shes givin it free
Even now
When everythings right
When everythings wrong
Even now
Shes keepin me straight
Shes keepin me strong
She gets to me
Somehow
Even now
And through the darkness
Through all the endless days
Through all the changes
The pointless one act plays
I can still make it
I can still stand tall
Cause Ive got my girl
To get me through it all
Through all the doubt
And all the fear
And all that I cant say
Still somehow
Shell help me find my way
Even now
Shes still in my heart
Shes still in my soul
Even now
Shes still on my mind
Wherever I go
Even now
Through all of my days
And all of my nights
Even now
Shes keepin it real
Shes keepin it right
She gets to me
Somehow
Even now
Shes all that I want
Shes all that I need
Even now
Shes givin it all
Shes givin it free
When everythings right
When everythings wrong
Shes keepin it real
Shes keepin it strong
Even now

Bury Me In My Shades
In a pad with no heat, up on Sullivan Street,
The last of the hipsters lay dyin'.
Wearin' his shades, so like no one could tell
Like whether or not he was cryin'.
All the junkies and loners
An' coffee shop owners
Were all gathered 'round his bed.
He took one last puff
Of some imported stuff
And this are the last words he said.
He said, 'Send my sandals home to Mom,
Hang my T-shirt away.
Burn my guitar
In Washington Squar',
'Cause I never learned how to play.
Give my pad
To some needy lad
And tell him the rent is all paid.
Keep my cash,
An' my stash,
An' my hash,
But bury me in my shades.
Bury me in my shades, boys,
Bury me in my shades.
Burn my guitar
In Washington Squar',
But bury me in my shades.'
He said, 'Give my Brooklyn chicks away
To anyone who needs 'em.
Give all of my poems away
To anyone who'll read 'em.
Dig me a grave 'neath the coffeeshop,
And let a sad folksong be played.
Get everyone high
On the moment I die,
Bury me in my shades.
Bury me in my shades, boys,
Bury me in my shades.
Burn my guitar
In Washington Squar',
But bury me in my shades.'
We threw his sandals out in the hall,
We left his T-shirt lay.
We sold his guitar
At the corner bar
To someone who knew how to play.
We smoked all his stash,
And spent all his cash,
And threw all his poems away.
And Bob got his records,
And Ed got his books,
And I got the poor beatnik shades.
'Bury me in my shades, boys,' he said,
'Bury me in my shades.
Burn my guitar
In Washington Squar',
But bury me in my shades.'

Shadows
There are two of me
One does the right thing,
One cannot see.
Standing back to back,
Who is the strong one
In the last act?
Every path I take,
Roads I go down,
Choices I make,
Take me right between
Patches of light and
Darkness in me.
Oh, we have to keep
A watch on our shadows--
Every move
They secretly make.
We try to be
So close to heaven,
But then our shadows,
They run away.
They pull away.
Oh....
And the shadows prove,
Falling behind,
Tracing each move, oh,
When I do some wrong,
There is no hiding;
Shadows are long.
So we have to keep
A watch on our shadows--
Every move (every move)
They secret make, yeah, yeah,
We try to be
So close to heaven, (mmmm....)
But then our shadows,
Pull us away.
They pull away....
We have to keep
A watch on our shadows--
Every move (ooooh....)
They secretly make, yeah,
We try to be
So close to heaven,
But then our shadows,
They pull us away.
Oh, we have to keep
A watch on our shadows--
Every move (oooh....) they secretly make, yeah,
We try to be
So close to heaven,
But then our shadows
Pull us away.
Pull us away.
Pull us away.
(ha, hu ha, oh no, cha cha.
Oh no, gotta keep our watch.
Keepin it under my shadow.
Oh no, gotta keep our watch.
On my shadow.
Oh no, gotta keep our watch.
Keepin it under my shadow.
Oh no, gotta keep our watch.
Keepin it under my shadow.
Oh no, gotta keep our watch.
Keepin it under my shadow.
Oh no, gotta keep our watch.

Oh no, gotta keep our watch.
Keepin it under my shadow.
Oh no, gotta keep our watch.

Oh no, gotta keep our watch.

That Kind
She was only seventeen
And was every young boys dream
The blue eyed beauty queen of the day
Broke some hearts, including mine
But everyone knew, she was just that kind
Seems like all her dreams were spent
On the boys that came and went
But the promises were all but left behind
She was good, and she was mine
But everyone knew, she was just that kind
Hey, they said
Theyre gonna take you her to hollywood
Gonna make her like a movie star
Maybe put her in a picture show
Took her chance, she paid her dime
And maybe I loved her, cause she was that kind
She was gone by twenty one
When most lives had just begun
There was so much left undone along the way
She took her chance, she paid her dime
Oh, you gotta be strong, to be that kind
Hey, they said
We gonna take you out to hollywood
We gonna make you like a movie star
We gonna put you in a picture show
Wasted life, a waste of time
But I couldnt have loved her if she wasnt that kind
No, I couldnt have loved her if she wasnt that kind

Keepin On Yearning
Keepin on smoking, lord I keep on joking
Keepin on moving a round
Leaving everything behind until at last
I find what no ones ever found
Feeling kind of lonely on the telephone
To day I must keep moving on
Leaving everything I know I really need
And so I guess Ill move a long
It doesnt matter if the sun dont shine
It doesnt matter if the rain dont fall
I could think about you all the time
Do you ever think of me at all
Keepin on yearnin, keepin on learnin
Lord I keep turning it on
Leaving everything I know I really love
And so I guess Ill move along
It doesnt matter if the sun dont shine
It doesnt matter if the rain dont fall
I know I could make you mine
You know I wouldnt mind at all
Keepin on smokin, gotta keep on joking
Gotta keep moving around
Leaving everything behind until at last
I find what no ones ever found
It doesnt matter if the sun dont shine
It doesnt matter if the rain dont fall
I could think about you all the time
Do you ever think of me at all
Keepin on yearnin, gotta keep on learnin
Gotta keep turning it on
Leaving everything I know I really love
And so I guess Ill move along
It doesnt matter if the sun dont shine
It doesnt matter if the rain dont fall

You know I wouldnt mind at all

Somethings going on in society

You chew your fingers and stare at the floor
(dancing with the big boys)
One wrong word and youre out of sync
Talking bout a hands on policy

Death to the trees
(dancing with the big boys)
They werent bad, they werent brave
Nothing is embarrassing

There are too many people, too much belief

Where theres trouble theres poetry

Your family is a football team

Pay-day Friday and the weekend's here,
I've been workin' all week tryin' to pay for this gear
gonna raise Hell on Union Street,
thirteen guys and a packet of three.
And if I don't get laid I'll sure die tryin',
tonight this city's gonna be all mine.
I wanna talk about motorbikes, cars and things,
no sophistication or designer jeans.
I'm no angel, but I know what I like,
a little rough and tumble on a Friday night.
I'm like a cornered rat, I gotta explode.
Goodbye baby don't know when I'll be home.
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys,
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys,
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys tonight.
By eleven o'clock I'll be flyin' high,
ain't nothing in the world that I won't try.
Jimmy got smashed, took his trousers off,
Barman said, " You boys have had enough.
Join the army, get yourself a decent job."
Indecent exposure in a parking lot.
Tora, Tora, Tora, out with the boys,

Swear to God that it wasn't one of us.
A seven foot bouncer called the police,
we got pulled in for disturbing the peace.
Well if you can't take a joke
then there ain't no point in living,
Sunday morning I woke up laughin'.

If It Weren't For Him (feat. Rosanne Cash)
(Vince Gill - Rosanne Cash)
Wince Gill & Rosanne Cash
If she'd only knew what I was thinking
If she'd only knew what was in my head
Why can't she see my heart is breaking
She'd be mine if it weren't for him.
So many times I dreamed I had her
I call her name when I lay down
Still I can't learn to live without
Her jealous heart is all I found.
See your face would be my destiny
Now I won't take what you can give to me
This lonely place is all I hope to find
If it weren't for him then you'd be mine.
--- Instrumental ---
If he'd only knew what I was thinking
