Boomtown Blues
Words and music by bob seger
Southern sun
Ridin high
Winter nights
Warm and dry
Youve earned your space buddy
Youve done your time
How come youve got no
Peace of mind
Lots of work
Everywhere
Lots of money honey
Gettin your share
The folks back home say
Theyd love to be in your shoes so
How come youve got those
Boomtown blues
You cant miss that freezin rain
Youd have to be insane
To head back north
And go through all that again
No chill in the air
No morning dew
No change of seasons
The sky always seems so blue
The earth aint black and
The wind aint cold
All of a sudden now
You feel so old
Somethins wrong
And its cuttin deep
Youre feelin restless and its
Hard to sleep
Look what you win but
Look what you lose
Stuck here in heaven
With these boomtown blues

High Heels
Now, new york city on a friday night
A lot of things happenin, a lot of bright lights.
Saw a pretty woman all dressed in red
She turned to me and this is what she said
She said, honey I got the blues
I got the blues from ridin all night in these high heel shoes.
Well, she took me to the corner that she called her home
Turned around and we were all alone.
Come on in, she said with a smile
Come on in and we can rest a while.
Well, honey I got the blues
I got the blues from ridin all night in these high heel shoes.
I said, listen here, honey, I been around
You aint foolin me, cause I know what youve found.
She bent kinda low and then she tickled my lips.
She said, listen here, son. Im gonna give you a tip
Honey I got the blues
I got the blues from ridin all night in these high heel shoes.

Youve Got To Give Me All Your Lovin
Youve got to give me all your lovin
cause a man aint nothin without womans love
Youve got to give me all your lovin
Give it all to me cause a part just aint enough
Like a flower needs the rain to grow
Like a winter needs a fall of snow
Youre the one I need
To satisfy my soul
Its a lonely feelin late at night
Without you here to put the feelin right
Youre the one I need
Your love is out of sight
Youve got to give me all your lovin
cause a man aint nothin without womans love
Youve got to give me all your lovin
Give it all to me cause a part just aint enough
Youre the only woman on my mind
Ive been waitin such a long long time
If you stay by me who knows what you might find
Theres a certain magic in your smile
And its plain to see youve sure got style
Just to be with you Id walk a thousand miles
Youve got to give me all your lovin
cause a man aint nothin without womans love
Youve got to give me all your lovin
Give it all to me cause a part just aint enough

New Orleans
(words & music by tepper - bennett)
Youll never know
What heaven means
Until youve been down to new orleans
You aint been livin till you cuddle and coo
With some black-eyed baby by de old bayou
Youve never seen
Youve never seen those cupid doll queens
Like they got em in new orleans
And, ooh, they love you like no-one can
It makes you awful glad that you were born a man.
If-if-if you aint been there
Then you aint been nowhere
The livins lazy and the lovins fine
If you feel low down
So help me hannah
You should lose the blues in loui-si-i-si-ana.
Get the lead
Get the lead out of your jeans
And hot foot it down, hot foot down to where?
New orleans
Louisiana baby tells you stay awhile
Live it up, love it up, southern style
Way down in new new orleans.

Since Youve Been Gone
J. spinks
Since youve been gone
Theres something I wanna say
Since youve been gone
Theres no one taking your place
Since youve been gone
Ive just been foolin around
Since youve been gone
This worlds been turned upside down
Didnt think Id find a girl that I could not forget
Anything we started not so long ago - aint over yet
Since youve been gone
Staring at your photograph
And I know it wont be long
An I know youre coming back
You turned me on
Since the first time I set eyes on you
You turned me on
Ooh the things you want me to do
Dont get me wrong
cos youre not the only girl Ive ever had
But since youve been gone
Girl you know the thought of yous driving me mad
All I do is think of you I lie awake - lie awake
And no matter how I try this loneliness - you know I cant take
Since youve been gone
Staring at your photograph
And I know it wont be long
An I know youre coming back
Since youve been gone
Theres something I wanna say
Since youve been gone
Theres no one to stand in my way
Since youve been gone
So scared of losing this time
Since youve been gone
Girl you know that I cant get you out of my mind
Since youve been gone
Staring at your photograph
And I know that I was wrong
An I know youre coming back
Since youve been gone
Tried my best to read between the lines
If some things are hard to say
You better tell me one more time
Since youve been gone
Since youve been gone

Win
(hey, it aint over)
Me, I hope that Im crazy
I feel you driving and rolling the wheel
Slow down, let someone love you
Ohh, Ive never touched you since I started to feel
If theres nothing to hide me
Then youve never seen me hanging naked and wired
Somebody lied, but I say its hip
To be alive
Now your smile is spreading thin
Seems youre trying not to lose
Since Im not supposed to grin
All youve got to do is win
(thats all ya gotta do)
(ooh, it aint over)
Me, Im fresh on your pages
Secret thinker sometimes listening aloud
Life lies dumb on its heroes
Wear your wound with honor, make someone proud
Someone like you should not be allowed
To start any fires
Now your smile is spreading thin
Seems youre trying not to lose
Since Im not supposed to grin
All youve got to do is win
(thats all ya gotta do)
(ohh, it aint over)
Now your smile is spreading thin
Seems youre trying not to lose
Since Im not supposed to grin
All youve got to do is win
(thats all ya gotta do, ohh)
All youve got to do is win
(it aint over)
When your smile is spreading thin
(seek and believe in you)
Since youre trying not to lose
(it aint over, no, no)
Since Im not supposed to grin
(thats all ya gotta do)
All youve got to do is win
(it aint over, no,,, ohh)
(seek and believe in you)
All youve got to do is win
(it aint over, no, no)
Wo-ohh, all youve got
Is all youve got
(it aint over)

Blue Motel Room
Ive got a blue motel room
With a blue bedspread
Ive got the blues inside and outside my head
Will you still love me
When I call you up when Im down
Here in savannah its pouring rain
Palm trees in the porch light like slick black cellophane
Will you still love me
When I call you up when I get back to town
I know that youve got all those pretty girls coming on
Hanging on your boom-boom-pachyderm
Will you tell those girls that youve got german measles
Honey, tell them youve got germs
I hope youll be thinking of me
Because Ill be thinking of you
While Im traveling home alone
Tell those girls that youve got joni
Shes coming back home
Ive got road maps
From two dozen states
Ive got coast to coast just to contemplate
Will you still love me
When I get back to town
Its funny how these old feelings hang around
You think theyre gone
No, no
They just go underground
Will you still love me
When I get back to l.a. town
You and me, were like america and russia
Were always keeping score
Were always balancing the power
And that can get to be a cold cold war
Were going to have to hold ourselves a peace talk
In some neutral cafe
You lay down your sneaking round the town, honey
And Ill lay down the highway
Ive got a blue motel room
With a blue bedspread
Ive got the blues inside and outside my head
Will you still love me
When I get back to town

Nothing Ever Goes As Planned
Written by dennis deyoung
Lead vocals by dennis deyoung
Whatcha going to do when the sun goes down tonight
Youll hit the same old clubs, rap that same old trash
Thats right
Youve got them real silk shirts and them baggy pants
Dago shoes in the colors that match
But the girls are acting bored
And youre feeling like youre going to lose
Youve got the g.q. blues
You get up every morning and you go to work each day
(you go to work, you go to work, you go to work)
Been doing the same damn job for ten long years this may
(youve got to work, youve got to work, youve got to work)
Youve been working and saving for your jamaican dream
Paradise is waiting across the sea
But when your plane lands montego turns to monsoon
Youve got the island blues
cause, nothing ever goes as planned
Its a hell of a notion
Even pharaohs turn to sand
Like a drop in the ocean
Youre so together and you act so civilized
But every time that things go wrong youre still surprised
Youve done your duty, youve paid a fortune in dues
Still got those mother natures blues
I strut around the stage like a little king tonight
Theyll scream for every word and every note, thats right
But when the show is over and Im all alone
Cant reach my baby on the telephone
And everywhere I look mr. loneliness is in the news
Ive got the big star blues
Boy, nothing ever goes as planned
Its a hell of a notion
Even pharaohs turn to sand
Like a drop in the ocean
Im so together and I act so civilized
But every time that things go wrong
Im still surprised
Ive done my duty and paid a fortune in dues
Still got them mother natures blues

Aint No Sad Song
(chico ross/hal davis/the bear)
Baby, the love we used to share
Has faded day by day
And now you wanna leave me
So youre lookin for away
And if you see a tear in my eye
Its not for you I cry
Dont you know I tried to make our love
Like every love should be
You say it aint enough
So youre walking out on me
But if you cant find just what you want
Dont you come runnin back to me
Baby, I know you think Im at home
Cryin the blues
But remember darlin
Somebody else will want what you couldnt use
Oh, yeah, what you couldnt use
Aint no sad song
Since youve been gone
Aint no sad song
Since youve been gone
You made me so very, very happy boy
But if you dont wanna be mine
Hey, when will I stop lovin you
Oh baby, I dont know, I dont know
All my friends give me advice
They say hang on, girl
Ooh, but I want him
Hang on girl
I dont need him
The clock didnt stop ticking
cause you let me be
Time will let nobody
Take your love from me
You made me so very, very happy boy
But if you dont wanna be mine
I know you wanna be
With someone for yourself
But I know you dont want me
To be with no one else
Aint no sad song
Since youve been gone
Aint no sad song
Since youve been gone
Aint no sad song
Since youve been gone

I just got your letter baby
Too bad you cant come home
I swear Im goin crazy
Sittin here all alone
Since youre gone
I got a mess of blues
I aint slept a wink since sunday
I cant eat a thing all day
Every day is just blue monday
Since youve been away
Since youre gone

Whoops there goes a teardrop
Rollin down my face
If you cry when youre in love
It sure aint no disgrace
I gotta get myself together
Before I lose my mind
Im gonna catch the next train goin
And leave my blues behind
Since youre gone
I got a mess of blues
Whoops there goes a teardrop
Rollin down my face
If you cry when youre in love
It sure aint no disgrace
I gotta get myself together
Before I lose my mind
Im gonna catch the next train goin
And leave my blues behind

Youve Got A Friend
When youre down and troubled
And you need a helping hand
And nothing, whoa nothing is going right.
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest nights.
You just call out my name,
And you know whereever I am
Ill come running, oh yeah baby
To see you again.
Winter, spring, summer, or fall,
All you have to do is call
And Ill be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Youve got a friend.
If the sky above you
Should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together and call my name out loud
And soon I will be knocking upon your door.
You just call out my name and you know where ever I am
Ill come running to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you got to do is call
And Ill be there, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Hey, aint it good to know that youve got a friend?
People can be so cold.
Theyll hurt you and desert you.
Well theyll take your soul if you let them.
Oh yeah, but dont you let them.
You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
Ill come running to see you again.
Oh babe, dont you know that,
Winter spring summer or fall,
Hey now, all youve got to do is call.

The London Boys
Cow bell strikes another night
Your eyes are heavy and your limbs all ache
Youve bought some coffee, butter and bread
You cant make a thing cause the meters dead
You moved away
Hold your folks youre gonna stay away
Bright lights, soho, wardour street
You hope you make friends with the guys that you meet
Somebody shows you round
Now youve met the london boys
Things seem good again, someone cares about you
Oh, the first time that you tried a pill
You feel a little queasy, decidedly ill
Youre gonna be sick, but you mustnt lose faith
To let yourself down would be a big disgrace
With the london boys, with the london boys
Youre only seventeen, but you think youve grown
In the month youve been away from your parents home
You take the pills too much
You dont give a damn about that jobs youve got
So long as youre with the london boys
A london boy, oh a london boy
Your flashy clothes are your pride and joy
A london boy, a london boy
You think youve had a lot of fun
But you aint got nothing, youre on the run
Its too late now, cause youre out there boy
Youve got it made with the rest of the toys
Now you wish youd never left your home
Youve got what you wanted but youre on your own
With the london boys
Now youve met the london boys
Now youve met the london boys
Now youve met the london boys

Learnin The Blues
The tables are empty, the dance floors deserted.
You play the same love song - its the 10th time youve heard it.
Thats the beginning, just one of the clues.
Youve had your first lesson in learnin the blues.
The cigarettes you light, one after another,
Wont help you forget her, and the way that you love her.
Youre only burnin a torch you cant lose.
But youre on the right track for learnin the blues.
When youre at home alone,
The blues will taunt you constantly.
When youre out in a crowd,
The blues will haunt your memory.
The nights when you dont sleep, the whole night youre crying.
But you cant forget her, soon you even stop trying.
Youll walk that floor and wear out your shoes.
When you feel your heart break, youre learnin the blues.
When youre at home alone,
The blues will taunt you constantly.
When youre out in a crowd,
Those blues will haunt your memory.
The nights when you dont sleep, that whole night youre crying.
But you cant forget her, soon you even stop trying.
Youll walk the floor, and youll wear out your shoes.
When you feel your heart break, youre learnin those blues.

Youve Done Nothing
You dont know what you want to be
You dont know what you want to do
Never going to amount to much of anything
So whats the difference if you win or lose?
Well thats something
Well isnt that something
Youve done nothing wrong and its never your fault
Youve done nothing
Dont care where your friends have gone
Because you never really needed them anyway
Never going to be exactly who you are
Because you try too hard to be just like them
Well thats something
Well isnt that something
Youve done nothing wrong and its never your fault
Youve done nothing
Youve got brains in your head
Feet in your shoes
You can steer yourself
Any way you choose
Youre on your own
And you know what you know
And its up to you to decide where youll go
Well thats something
Well isnt that something

Youve Been Around
Wheres the pain in the violent night?
Im depressed by the grill
I stay over many years
I should have thought of that
For the love of the money
Like a black-hearted vile thing
Its the nature of being
Its too many lonely nights
I cant tell bad from wrong
I cant pass you by
Too exchanging
Youve been around
But youve changed me
When the flesh meets the spirit world
Where the traffic is thin
I slip from a vacant view
I should have thought of that
And the sound of tomorrow
Like a black-hearted vile thing
Like the silence of tension
Its too many lonely nights
I cant tell good from bad
I cant pass you by
Too exchanging
Youve been around
But youve changed me
Youve been around
Cant pass you by
Youve been around
But youve changed me
Ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-change!

Long Way From Home
The clubs are all closed and the ladies are leaving,
Theres nobody nobody knows on the street;
A few stranded souls standing cold at the station,
An nowhere to go but to bed and to sleep.
Chorus:
Lord, would you look at you
Now that youre here, aint you
Proud of your peers
And the long way youve come?
All alone, all the way
On your own, whos to say
That youve thrown it away for a song?
Boy, youve sure come a long way from home.
So its so long to so many so far behind you,
Fair-weather friends that you no longer know;
Youve still got the same lonely songs to remind you
Of someone you seemed to be so long ago.
Lord, would you look at you
Now that youre here, aint you
Proud of your peers
And the long way youve come?
All alone, all the way
On you own, whos to say
That youve thrown it away for a song?
Boy, youve sure come a long way from home.

She Dont Get The Blues
Well she puts her dancing shoes on every night
And comes alive there in the smoke beneath the neon lights
And she dont like those hurtinsongs
Cause shes already lived em
She dont get the blues, she gives em
Well she checks her broken heart there at the door
She aint looking for romance, shes danced that dance before
Well I pity the next poor fool that gets caught up in her rhythm
Cause she dont get the blues, she gives em
Shes been on the losing end of love too many times
And she aint gonna go for anything youve got in mind
So before you start let me impart
These few words of wisdom
She dont get the blues, she gives em
Shes been on the losing end of love too many times
And she aint gonna go for anything youve got in mind
So before you start let me impart
These few words of wisdom
She dont get the blues, she gives em
No she dont get the blues, lord she gives em

I Can Tell By The Way You Smell
(walter davis)
Hey, look here baby, whats going on ?
Step over in the light
Oh, no! look here.
Your hair is all wrecked, youre full of sweat
Your underskirt is wringing wet
You come in here walking just like a goose
It looks like somebody just tranked you to loose
Youve been doing something
Youve been doing something wrong
Youve been doing something
Youve been doing something wrong
I can tell by the way you smell
And theres grandma and grandpa out on the porches
Must be kidding bout her ninety years
Aint too old, God almighty, just keep shifting them gears
Well, you aint too old, said you aint too old
Aint too old, doing the boogie, you aint too old
I can tell by the way they smell
Well, its a-run here mama! just look at little sis
Got her hand in her toodle, way up to her wrist
Shes doing something wrong, shes doing something wrong
Shes doing something wrong, God knows shes doing it
I can tell by the way she smell
Go on and change your clothes!
