Bob Dylans Blues
Well, the lone ranger and tonto
They are ridin down the line
Fixin evrybodys troubles
Evrybodys cept mine
Somebody musta tol em
That I was doin fine
Oh you five and ten cent women
With nothin in your heads
I got a real gal Im lovin
And lord Ill love her till Im dead
Go away from my door and my window too
Right now
Lord, I aint goin down to no race track
See no sports car run
I dont have no sports car
And I dont even care to have one
I can walk anytime around the block
Well, the wind keeps a-blowin me
Up and down the street
With my hat in my hand
And my boots on my feet
Watch out so you dont step on me
Well, lookit here buddy
You want to be like me
Pull out your six-shooter
And rob every bank you can see
Tell the judge I said it was all right
Yes!

Oh, I shined up my shoes and then I slicked down my hair
Put on my sunday suit, but I aint goin nowhere
Evrybodys lonesome for somebody else
But nobodys lonesome for me.
Evrybodys yearnin for somebody else
But nobodys lonesome for me

Now I aint had a kiss since I fell out of my crib
It looks to me like I been cheated out of my rib
Evrybodys lonesome for somebody else
No-bod-o-dy lonesome for me.

Oxford Town
Oxford town, oxford town
Evrybodys got their heads bowed down
The sun dont shine above the ground
Aint a-goin down to oxford town
He went down to oxford town
Guns and clubs followed him down
All because his face was brown
Better get away from oxford town
Oxford town around the bend
He come in to the door, he couldnt get in
All because of the color of his skin
What do you think about that, my frien?
Me and my gal, my gals son
We got met with a tear gas bomb
I dont even know why we come
Goin back where we come from
Oxford town in the afternoon
Evrybody singin a sorrowful tune
Two men died neath the mississippi moon
Somebody better investigate soon
Oxford town, oxford town
Evrybodys got their heads bowed down
The sun dont shine above the ground
Aint a-goin down to oxford town

Well I look back on the good times
As some lost part of me

Just cause Im alive

One Way Out
Aint but one way out baby, lord I just cant go out the door.
Aint but one way out baby, and lord I just cant go out the door.
Cause theres a man down there, might be your man I dont know.
Lord you got me trapped woman, up on the second floor;
If I get by this time I wont be trapped no more.
So raise our window baby, I can ease out soft and slow.
And lord, your neighbors, no they wont be
Talking that stuff that they dont know.
Lord, Im foolish to be here in the first place,
I know some man gonna walk in and take my place.
Aint no way in the world, Im going out that front door
Cause theres a man down there, might be your man I dont know.
Cause theres a man down there, might be your man I dont know.
Cause theres a man down there,
Freely
Lord, it just might happen to be your man...
Lord, it just a might be your man,
Oh baby, I just dont know...

Porterville
Its been an awful long time since I been home,
But you wont catch me goin back down there alone.
Things they said when I was young are quite enough to get me hung.
I dont care! I dont care!
They came and took my dad away to serve some time,
But it was me that paid the debt he left behind.
Folks said I was full of sin, because I was the next of kin.
I dont care! I dont care!
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo!
I dont care! I dont care!
Folks were out one night to put me up a fence,
And you can guess that Ive been runnin ever since.
Aint no one thats bout to help, and Ill keep on, I tell myself.
I dont care! I dont care!
I dont care! I dont care!
I dont care! I dont care!
Aint no one thats bout to help,
And Ill keep on, I tell myself.
I dont care! I dont care!
I dont care! I dont care!
I dont care! I dont care!

Real Men...
real men...
dont threaten.
real men dont lie.
real men dont take
at the expense of others.
real men dont quit.
real men dont make excuses.
real men dont follow blindly.
real men dont abuse women.
real men are good fathers.
real men live by respect.
real men dont seek violence,
but dont back down.
real men get involved.
real men face their fears,
and their failures.
real men own their mistakes.
real men dont judge.
real men pray with the same hands
they wipe their buts with,
and know it!
real men forgive.
real men love at all costs.
real men stand for what they believe...
what the world needs now
is real men... (and women) !

Falling Calling
(clarke / sylvester)
Didnt believe in the bible
Didnt believe the good book
Lord, lord please help me, help me take a look
These chains that Im wearing really aint my style
Lord, lord please help me, help me think awhile
I know that I did something wrong
I got into bad ways
Well the judge, yes he put me down, for five thousand days
Falling, falling, falling over you
Calling, calling, I dont know what to do
Falling, falling, falling over you
Calling, calling, I dont know what to do
The cell I am in is only six feet wide
And six feet to the roof
Theres a window thats strung with only three bars
Singing me the truth
Fifty and seventy dont seem right
Seventy aint my age
When I leave this place with a new face
Its to turn another a new page
Falling, falling, falling over you
Calling, calling, I dont know what to do
Falling, falling, falling over you
Calling, calling, I dont know what to do
Didnt believe in the bible
Didnt believe the good book
Well now lord, lord please help me, help me take a look
These chains that Im wearing well they really aint my style
Well now lord, lord please help me, help me think awhile
Falling, falling, falling over you
Calling, calling, I dont know what to do
Falling, falling, falling over you
Calling, calling, I dont know what to do

Lovin You Against My Will
(jamie ohara)
I dont wanna hurt nobody
Dont wanna make nobody cry
I dont wanna do wrong, I dont wanna do wrong
I dont wanna tell no lies
Im lovin you, lovin you against my will
Lovin you, lovin you against my will
I dont wanna hear the phone ring
Dont wanna hear your voice on the line
I dont wanna come to you, I dont wanna come to you
I dont wanna give in this time
Girl, Im lovin you, lovin you against my will
Your love is like a deep dark river
Pullin me out to sea
The harder I try to resist you
The weaker I seem to be
I dont wanna turn down your side street
I dont wanna pull in your drive
Dont wanna see you standin there, dont wanna see you standin there
Dont wanna see that look in your eyes
Girl, Im lovin you, lovin you against my will
Your love is like a deep dark river
Pullin me out to sea
The harder I try to resist you
The weaker I seem to be
I dont wanna feel your heartbeat
I dont wanna taste your kiss
I dont wanna call your name, I dont wanna call your name
I dont wanna want you like this
Girl, Im lovin you, lovin you against my will
Lovin you, lovin you against my will

Dont wanna watch the carson show all alone

With the one I loves head resting on my chest

Just wanna be with my love tonight
And I dont want my best friends even coming round

Carsons over and the lights way down low
And all I got, I got a heart full of soul
Lord, lord, lord, lord, lord
I said, lord, lord, lord, lord, lord
I said, lord, lord, lord, lord, lord
Just wanna be with my love tonight
And its a lovers prayer, oh yes it is
Takes a little time, takes a little care, yeah, yeah, yeah
And when it gets way on in the midnight hour
I just wanna play my guitar
I just wanna see you smile, touch your face
Be with you in my own place

(c) 1979 emi blackwood music inc.
Aint nobody, gonna do my baby wrong.
Aint nobody, gonna do my baby wrong.
Lord, I still love that woman
Even though I know shes gone, long gone.
Lord, I know shes out walkin,
Walkin up and down the street.
Well I know my babys out walkin
Walkin up and down the street.
Lord shes got a brand new story
For each and every man she meets.
Blind love, blind love,
It oughta be a crime,
For lovin you the way I do.
My best friend knows all about it,
He dont have a thing to say.
Lord he knows all about it,
He just dont have a thing to say.
Oh, it hurts me so bad, to see you treat me this way.
Well I see my baby walkin,
Now I dont even raise my hand.
When I see my baby walkin,
I dont even raise my hand,
Oh it hurts me in my heart,
To see you with another man.
Blind love, blind love,
It oughta be a crime,
For lovin you the way I do.
Blind love, blind love,
It oughta be a crime,
For lovin you the way I do.
Blind love, blind love,

For lovin you the way I do.

My Old Kentucky Home
Turpentine and dandelion wine
Ive turned the corner and Im doin fine
Shootin at the birds on the telephone line
Pickin em off with my gun of mine
I got a fire in my belly
And a fire in my head
Goin higher and higher
Until Im dead
Sister sue, shes short and stout
She didnt grow up - she grew out
Mama says shes plain but shes just bein kind
Papa thinks shes pretty but hes almost blind
Dont let her out much cept at night
But I dont care cause Im all right
Oh, the sun shines bright on
My old kentucky home
And the young folks roll on the floor
Oh, the sun shines bright on
My old kentucky home
Keep them hard times away from my door
Brother gene, hes big and mean
And he dont have much to say
He had a little woman who he whupped each day
But now shes gone away
He got drunk last night
Kicked mama down the stairs
But Im all right so I dont care

Nothin But A Kiss
(myles goodwyn)
Published by mfg sing sing music/socan - ascap
Youve been part of my life since you was 15
Weve been playin this game forever it seems
We dont give a damn if its wrong or right
Were just huggin and kissin almost every night
We aint lookin to go all the way
We dont look for trouble, we just play
And youre at the top of my list
We fool around, we just like to kiss, like this
Just like this, it aint nothin but a kiss, just like this
My heart starts pounding, and my souls on fire
If I told you different, then Id be a liar
We laid it all out and then we let it be
Theres a big difference between you and me
I dont know if its wrong or right
But weve been doin our thing most every night
I know baby, its hit or miss, but Im right on target
It aint nothin but a kiss, like this
Just like this, it aint nothin but a kiss, baby
Just like this, it aint nothin but a kiss
Your mama dont like it, your daddy dont like it
They never will leave us alone
My knees start shakin, my hands are shakin
Kissin on the telephone
Ooh, it aint nothin but a kiss
Ooh, it aint nothin but a kiss, just like this
It aint nothin but a kiss, just like this
We tell our friends, dont you get in our way
Our familys searchin all night, and then bitch all day
We dont really care what other people do
If its hide-and-seek, well too bad for you
It dont matter, win, place or show
Whatever you say, it goes
But I think if I could make a wish
Id stay here with you and we could kiss, like this
Just like this, it aint nothin but a kiss baby
Just like this, it aint nothin but a kiss
Just like this, it aint nothin but a kiss
Just like this, it aint nothin but a kiss baby
Just like this, it aint nothin but a kiss now
Just like this, it aint nothin but a kiss

All the widows watch
Through all window sills
Hair raisin in every room
Up the street come a walkin chill
An you ask for nothin

See my tears good father
Will they wash it away
All my dirt from your holy feet
No I dont believe it works that way
cause you ask for nothin

Before God an man
Held by the holy hand of winter
Brought low by winters holy hand
Yes my sister girl
I know that it is true
You see me with the lords eye girl
An you see right through
An you ask for nothin
Is there somethin behind my eyes
I can look good I swear
When the spirit blows
All ore an all through yeah

An you ask for nothin

Before God an man
Held by the holy hand of winter
Brought low by winters holy hand

Man In The Street
Im not a happy guy
But Im not always sad
And Im no millionaire
But I dont do so bad
But no matter who you think you are
Theres always someone with a different view
Theres always someone thinks hes got a right
To say whats good for you
So how do you know
That the man in the street dont care
And why dont you care
When the man in the street dont know
Anyway
Im not a clever guy
But Im sure not that dumb
Dont have the inside news
But I know what goes on
And if you put your faith in God above
Or if you watch the skies for superman
Theres always times when you can see the answers
Slip right through their hands
So how do you know
That the man in the street dont care
And why dont you care
When the man in the street dont know
Anyway
So no matter who they think they are
As they tell you who to fight or how to dance
Why dont you give yourself a break
And give us all a chance
cause how do you know
That the man in the street dont care
And why dont you care
When the man in the street dont know

Dont Mean Nothing
Welcome to the big time.
Youre bound to be a star
And even if you dont go all the way,
I know that youll go far
This race is for rats, it can turn you upside down
Aint no one you can count on in this sleazy little town, oh no
Lots of promises in the dark
But dont you open your heart
Chorus
Cause it dont mean nothin
The words that they say
Dont mean nothin
These games that people play
No, it dont mean nothin
No victim, no crime
It dont mean nothin
Till you sign it on the dotted line
The director smiles as you walk in the door
He says, I love your work, babe but
Youre just not what were looking for
Its never what but who it is you know
So easy to get stuck in all that california snow
Take a good look around and youll find
People tryin to mess with your mind
Repeat chorus
Hollywood can be so lonely
Make you the winner of a losing fight
But the party is never over
Cause stars are always shining
Doesnt matter if its day or night
The producer says, let me change a line or two
And a little bit of something can look awfully good to you
And you want to scream, but you gotta keep it all inside
When youre trying to make a living,
There aint no such thing as pride, no
Lots of promises in the dark
But dont you open your heart
Chorus
It dont mean nothing at all. . .

He Dont Know
He took your love
But its still mine
He took all the things that I loved best
But you still aint got happiness
Gave you everything girl money can buy
Hes a real big spender and a generous guy
You gave up on me, cant understand
Deep down inside girl, Im still the man

I passed your house today
I took it real hard
There was a brand new mercedes
Parked right in front of your yard
He buys you things from a to z
But no one, no one can satisfy you like me
(he dont know what to do for you) he dont know
(he dont know what to do for you) he dont know like I know
(he dont know what to do for you) but I do
You know I do
You had the world
But you wanted more
But nothin can be better than what you had before
But you still got a chance to let him go
Gave you all of the best love
One man can give (check it out)
Girl, youre gonna feel it
Just as long as I live
Gave you all the love he could
But dont you know that
I spoiled you too good
(he dont know what to do for you) he dont know
(he dont know what to do for you) he will never know
(he dont know what to do for you) and I do
You know I do

Cant you see Im shaking in my shoes
Ive done everything but I still got the blues
Everywhere I turn theres misery
Stuck in the middle of nowhere street
Go away come back where ya goin
Dont do that, do this, dont you blow it
Run dont walk, shout dont talk about it
You dont know anything about it
Its no good theres no way out
No way out
A fine affair and theres no doubt
Theres no doubt
That theres no way out, no way out
She left some money in a paper sack
And a note to say she aint coming back
Its no good theres no way out
A fine affair and theres no doubt
But theres no way out, no way out
Theyre coming at me from everywhere
They say shes already gone from here
Go away come back where ya goin
Dont do that, do this, dont you blow it
Run dont walk, shout dont talk about it
