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

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

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

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.

Keeping The Faith
(g. rossington, e. king, j. van zant, d. tate)
Are you a saint then dont be a stranger
Were you sent down from heaven to show me the way
And if you aint then I see a danger
You better take a minute and hear what Ive got to say
(chorus)
cause Ill keep on tryin to put it straight to you
You better give it straight to me
cause most women seem to have a good time
Makin a fool out of me
Im keepin my faith Ive made up my mind
Ive got nothin left to lose just lay it on the line
Im keepin my faith yea Ill find the one
Who wont steal me blind who wont turn and run
Im keepin my faith Im trustin in you
So dont treat me like those other ones do
Aint no gettin round it tell me to my face
Do you think Im a fool for keepin my faith in you
Ill treat you right Ill do you better
I wont disappoint you I wont make you cry
My friends tell me if you let her
Shell empty your pockets shell spend you dry

Highly Ambitious Dot
the lowly dot
learns that ambition is a virtue
and so one day
it rolls itself upon itself
until it becomes a line
and then it runs and struggles
and chases and rises and stretches
and curls and winds itself upon itself
until it becomes a shape
until it learns the best shape to be in
a circle that feeds upon its own shape
until it become a sphere
a ball
a rubber ball until it becomes
a bouncing ball
bouncing and bouncing until it masters
the tricks of being the most
important circle
the earth
where you live.

Mushmouth Shoutin
You know Im wild about you, baby,
Been keepin me from my sleep at night.
You know Im hung up on you, little doll,
You just dont treat your daddy right.
You know you crazy when you get drunks, you be talkin all out your head.
Youre acting mighty strange about me, sayin those things you said.
Im just wild about you, baby,
Been keepin me from my sleeps at night.
You know Im hung up on you, little darlin,
You just dont treat your daddy right, oh yeah.
Dya know I came home last night and I looked down on the floor,
I saw a fine pair of alligators, somethin I never had before.
But Im wild about you, baby,
Been keepin me from my sleeps at night.
You know Im hung up on you, little darlin,
You just dont treat your daddy right.
Said, now honey if you dont stop messin round with me,
Tryn to make me out a dumbbell, somethin I aint never gonna be.
Im still wild about you, baby,
You been keepin me from my sleeps at night.
You know Im hung up on you, little doll,
But you just dont treat your daddy right.

One Meat Ball
(l. singer-h.zaret)
The little man walked up and down
To find an eating place in town
He read the menu through and through
To see what fifteen cents could do
One meat ball, one meat ball
Well, he could afford but one meat ball
He told the waiter near at hand
A simple dinner he had planned
The guests were startled one and all to hear
That waiter loudly call
One meat ball, one meat ball
Well, this here gent wants one meat ball
Little man felt very bad
One meat ball was all he had
And in his dreams he hears that call
Ya gets no bread with one meat ball
One meat ball, one meat ball
Well, you get no bread with one meat ball
Well, he could afford but one meat ball
One meat ball, one meat ball
All he could afford was one meat ball
One meat ball

Long Time No See
What you been doin, aint you got no one
Where you been keepin yourself my friend
Have you been hidin underground riding
Foolin yourself in your special way
Wheres your old lady
She was a nice girl
Maybe its best that she went away
You have been losin nothing can change you
Hapiness spits in your face always
Where are you going, what will you see there
You never learn nothin by runnin away
What you been doin, aint you got no one
Where you been keepin yourself my friend
Loneliness growin, emptiness showin
Finding your peace two or three times a day
Three times a day

Bounce Bounce!
Waves calling and laughing
Waves ebb and flow
Waves rolling splashing
sandy remnants on the beach.
Bounce Bounce and bouncing
Bounce beats infectious
Bounce arms up and about
Its a dance re-energized
Ball on wall bouncing
Ball hits so hard on wall
Ball bounce taken with ease
Its to hearts sweet infection
Bounce bounce on waves
Bounce Bounce dance re-energized
Bounce like a ball on a wall
As hearts that yearn life is GOLD!

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
I know I could make you mine
You know I wouldnt mind at all

Light Of Love
Standing at the terminal, I can almost hear the music
Coming from the cold and chilly early night
When we get to the gate, baby, all of the things that were said
Will they turn you 'round and bring you back
Will they bring you back, will you come back home 'cos you know I'm waiting
Chorus:
The light of love is always on
You know my love's getting stronger and stronger
The light of love is always on, keepin' the night watch
Baby are you lonely, don't talk to strangers
I'm tryin' to tell myself you won't be gone for long
And when we get to the part, baby, where all of the tears start to come
Will you turn around, get on the plane that brings you back
Will you come back home, 'cos you know I'm waiting
chorus
(Solo)
The light of love is always on
chorus repeats 2x
Keepin' the night watch, keepin' the night watch

Whats A Man To Do
Before the tears Ive cried
Have even dried
Shell be with him
Theyll look in each others eyes
And with her lips still warm with lies
Shell kiss him
And though she knows shes wrong
She just keeps on
Keepin me hangin on
Tell me:
Chorus:
Whats a man to do
When the one hes promised to
Finds somebody new
Should I just stand by
Watch the love Ive lived for die
Lord I wish I knew
Tell me whats a man to do
Maybe Ill make a stand
Or should I just wash my hands
Of her forever
But Ive never been alone
Except for here at home
When theyre together
And though I know its wrong
I let her go on
Keepin me hangin on

Looking For Work
Infinite feints
for a lane
to go driving.
Still there's
no opening.
Jump shot
pumped from afar
spits in the net,
sole sound.
The bucket is made,
but the ball
the ball is still bouncing.

Cry Wolf
Ime out, no good now
Screamin too loud
And I cant hear a word you say
Look out, way too late
Suns going down
And Im comin around your way
You keep calling me all night
You keep saying its alright, alright
Got me runnin
When you cry, you cry, cry wolf
Got me running, cry,cry--cry, cry wolf
Dont touch, dont look now
Somethins cookin
And its keepin me hang around
But when the call comes through
Im ready for you and you say it aint true
But youre keepin your defenses down
You keep callin me all night
You keep saying its alright, alright
Got me runnin
When you cry, you cry, cry wolf
Got me runnin cry, cry--cry wolf

Basketball
I was bouncing my ball
on a warm summer day
when he looked up
and he did say
shoot me through
that hoop up there
and let me fly
right through the air
shoot me through
that orange round rim
if you make it
we will win
but if you miss it
that's okay
cuz i'll still love you
anyway
I shot the ball
and i made the shot
the ball looked up and said
thanks, thanks alot
I knew you could do it
I knew you would
keep practicing now
just like you should
