Too Far Gone
(j.p. maunick/g. harvey)
He wanted to believe that the
Field was his to play
Says hes happy that shes gone away
Any fool can tell shes here to stay
From his mind she would never stray
Hes trying to hide it
But inside the pain cant be denied
I guess he's too far gone
No hes spendin all his time tryin
To tell the world hes free
Depp inside he know hell never be
And now it seems that hes lost the key
Hes like a raft driftin out at sea
Hes tryin to to fake it
But the sadness is all that he can feel
I guess that hes too far gone
He cannot see that as he talks
Hes takin a road that is goin nowhere
Theres no tellin hime, hes too far gone
Hes walkin down the street lookin sure of himself today
Hes never short of things to say
In his mind he knows hes lost his way
Its the proce he has to pay.
Gone too far
Too far gone
Gone too far
Too far gone

I Cant Get Her Off My Mind
By tommy boyce and bobby hart
Ive been standing on the corner all day
Tryin to think of little things to say
cause she walks by evry day about this time
And I dont think, Ill ever get her off of my mind.
Well I only met her bout a week ago
But the way she smiles let me know
That she could see that maybe we were two of a kind.
And I dont think Ill ever get her off of my mind.
Oh shes so pretty I couldnt believe
Shed ever look my way
But the way Im feeling
Im gonna be stealing
That little girls heart today.
Well, Im so happy I could almost fly
And I guess you know the reason why,
Im walkin down the street with her little hand in mine.
And I dont think Ill ever get her off of my mind.
Oh shes so pretty I couldnt believe
Shed ever look my way
But the way Im feeling
Im gonna be stealing
That little girls heart today.
Well, Im so happy I could almost fly

Railroad Lady
By: jimmy buffett, jerry jeff walker
1973
Shes a railroad lady
Just a little bit shady
Spendin her days on the trains
Shes a semi-good looker
But the fast rails they took er
Now shes tryin, just tryin to get home again
South station in boston to the freightyards of austin
From the florida sunshine to the new orleans rain
Now that the railpacks
Has taken the best tracks
Shes tryin, just tryin to get home again
Shes a railroad lady
Just a little bit shady
Spendin her life on a train
Once a pullman car traveller
Now the brakeman wont have er
Shes tryin, just tryin to get home again
Once a high ballin loner he thought he could own er
Bought her a fur and a big diamond ring
She hocked em for cold cash
Left town on the wabash
Never thinkin, never thinkin of home way back then
But the rails are now rusty
The dinin cars dusty
Gold plated watches have taken their toll
Yeah the railroads are dyin
And the lady shes cryin
On a bus to kentucky and home thats her goal
Shes a railroad lady
Just a little bit shady
Spendin her life on a train
Shes a semi-good looker
But the fast rails they took er
Now shes tryin, just tryin to get home again
Coda:
Yes on a bus to kentucky and home once again

Incommunicado
By: jimmy buffett, deborah mccoll, m.l. benoit
1980
For the duke and travis mcgee
Travis mcgees still in cedar key
Thats what ol john macdonald said
My rendezvouss so long overdue
With all of the things Ive sung and Ive read
They still apply to me
They all make sense in time
Chorus:
But now Im incommunicado
Drivin by myself down the road with a hole in it
Songs with no vibrato
Takin the long way home
Now on the day that john wayne died
I found myself on the continental divide
Tell me where do I go from here
Think Ill ride into leadville and have a few beers
I think of red river or liberty valance
Cant believe the old mans gone
Chorus:
But now hes incommunicado
Leavin such a hole in a world that believed
That a life with such bravado
Was takin the right way home
So when I finished that last line
I put the book by itself on the shelf with my heart in it
Never wastin time takin the right way home
I know Im never wastin time findin the right way home
Chorus:
Still I am incommunicado
Livin next door to a leg with a pin in it
Life with such bravado
Is takin the right way home
Tryin to make it
Tryin to fake it
Tryin to take it home
Tryin to make it
Tryin to fake it
Tryin to take it home
I know im...
Tryin to make it
Sometimes I fake it
Tryin to take it home
All Im doing is...
Tryin to make it
Tryin to fake it
Tryin to take it home
But now Im incommunicado...

I Hear Your Name
(j.p. maunick/g. harvey)
Its been a year today
Baby, since you came into my life
Feels just like yesterday
That we both stood beneath the open sky
Playing like children in the rain
As though we had known our destiny
Nothin would every be the same
I guess I knew you were the one for me
Chorus:
I hear your name (I hear your name)
Suddenly the world is standin still
I hear your name (I hear your name)
And I start dreamin of makin love
I hear your name (I hear your name)
Bringin on a rush of ecstasy
I hear your name
And I feel like makin love to you
Weve come such a long way
A travellers road, no lookin back
Heres where I want to stay
Safe in your arms feelin body & soul
When youre not here I long to feel
The lovin warmth of your embrace
Mssin you madly night and day
Longin to see you face to face
Chorus
There is no use in tryin to hide
The way that I feel
Life is so clear with you on my mind
I know for sure i'm not mislead
And baby, I love everything that you do
For me
Chorus
Feel like makin makin love
I feel like makin love
cos I feel like makin makin love
I feel like makin love

Carolea
She came to the coast from the show me state
With her daddys blue eyes and her mamas blind hate
Guess she didnt know much but she knew the rules
What she needed to learn, she would find in l.a.
Not back in that school
Didnt wanna read about it
Guess she wanted to see
Carolea, shes carolea
Yeah, yeah, never quite sure what she wanted to be
Just a little girl alone in a big bad place
With a devious mind and a beautiful face
Ever since she was a baby she learned how to play
Wanted money in her hands from the easiest way
All her friends said, stop girl, you cant pay the price
But the hard way out dont appeal to the beast inside
She dont wanna hear about the better life
Guess shes ready to be
Hey, carolea
She never tells the truth to the folks back east
Truth about the drugs and the men she gets paid to please
Well they dont know
Yeah, they dont see
Yeah, that finally now after all these years
Shes let the beast inside roam free

Pleasure dome
Now I know none of this was planned, it all just kinda happened
I got more than I wanted, but how is still a mystery
Obsessed with this feeling, I trusted it, so I followed it
Im tripping and stumbling across the land, full of miracles
Into a world so far from home, miles and miles from nowhere
Rooms without doors open for me, oh no
Taking me miles and miles from nowhere
Oh (miles and miles), oh yeah
Lost in this pleasure dome, lost in my own pleasure dome
Oh man, I aint got a clue, how you get out, or how to find this place
I want my control back, but Im afraid, Ill lose that feeling
Lost in a world so far from home, Im miles and miles from nowhere
Falling inside my own pleasure dome, Im miles and miles from nowhere
Oh (miles and miles), oh yeah
Lost in this pleasure dome, lost inside my pleasure dome

Lost in a world, cant find my way home, miles and miles from nowhere
Falling inside my own pleasure dome, miles and miles from nowhere

Here I am
Broken wings
Quist thoughts
Unspoken dreams
Here I am
Alone again
And I need her now
To hold my hand
Chorus
Shes all, shes all I ever had
Shes the air I breathe
Shes all, shes all I ever had
Its the way she makes me feel
Its the only thing thats real
Its the way she understands
Shes my lover, shes my friend
And when I look into her eyes
Its the way I feel inside
Like the man I want to be
Shes all Ill ever need
So much time
So much pain(but)
Theres one thing
That still remains (its the)
The way she cared
The love we shared
And through it all
Shes always been there
Shes all, shes all I ever had
In a world so cold, so empty
Shes all, shes all I ever had
Its the way she makes me feel
Its the only thing thats real
Its the way she understands
Shes my lover, shes my friend
And when I look into her eyes
Its the way I feel inside
Like the man I want to be
Shes all Ill ever need

Shes Going Out Of My Mind
Shes going out of my mind
By: mac mcanally
1984
I talk to her pictures
And stare at the walls
And my friends come and offer their help
To my back theyre afraid that Im losing it all
To my face they say Im not myself
And they name all the doctors they think I should see
But they dont understand its not me
Chorus:
Shes goin out of my mind
And Im showin all of the signs
I thought that our love was one of a kind
Now shes goin out of my mind
The place that I kept her
Has suited her well
Though its not where she wanted to be
And from up on that pedestal I couldnt tell
That shed rather be down here with me
Now she just tells me how we cant relate
But she leaves out the part I cant take
Chorus:
Shes goin out of my mind
And Im showin all of the signs
I thought that our love was one of a kind
Now shes goin out of my mind
Theres a tear in her eyes as they drive me away
And I turn to the doctors and say
Chorus:
Shes goin out of my mind
And Im showin all of the signs
I thought that our love was one of a kind
Now shes goin out of my mind
Yeah shes goin out of my mind

Alright
Shes always reminding me that things are gonna be alright.
Yes, shes always beside me.
She keeps reminding me that everything will be alright.
Im so confused.
Shes not amused.
cause I do way too much thinking.
Its not supposed to be this hard.
So, she calls me out and theres no doubt that I do way too much drinking.
I guess its got me through this far.
When my life gets crazy, she can still amaze me.
Sometimes I think, hell, whats the use of going on?
But, shes always reminding me that things are gonna be alright.
Yes, shes always beside me.
She keeps reminding me that everything will be alright.
I heard the news.
I just refuse to believe that we were sinking.
Still cant believe they went that far.
So, I start to shout, but Im all cried out and still doing way too much thinking.
Cant seem to scrape away those scars. no.
And, if my life gets crazy, she can still amaze me.
Sometimes I think, hell, whats the use of going on?
But, shes always reminding me that things are gonna be alright.
Yes, shes always beside me.
She keeps reminding me that everything will be alright. alright.
I think I can finally see what shes been telling me.
Its all inside my head.
I guess I knew it all along.
And, shes always reminding me that things are gonna be alright.
Yes, shes always beside me.
She keeps reminding me that its all in me.
But, shes always reminding me that things are gonna be alright.
Yes, shes always beside me.
She keeps reminding me that everything will be alright.
She keeps reminding me that everything will be alright.
She keeps reminding me that everything will be alright.
She keeps reminding me that everything will be alright.

Round And Round
Tryin' to figure out just where you are
You tried to play the game of love, didn't get too far
You told yourself you'd be nobody's fool
You want a good reason why love is so cruel, baby
Oh, oh, round and round
Love's got you goin'
It's turnin' you upside down
You play the game, it's so insane
Like lost and found
Love's got you spinnin' all around, baby
Are you thinkin' love has passed you by, oh
Do you feel so alone, sometimes you just sit and cry
Tryin' to think if love was meant for you
Oh, you're startin' to wonder what you're gonna do, baby
Oh, oh, round and round
Love's got you goin'
It's turnin' you upside down
You play the game, it's so insane
Like lost and found
Love's got you spinnin' all around, baby
Oh, oh, I know you need a place to be
You want someone who cares and shares
And loves you so
I want to know there's something you can do, oh
You need to realize all things can come to you
Just believe it's all about your heart, baby
And you're gonna make it when you're ready to start, oh
No need to go round and round
Love's got you goin'
It's turnin' you upside down
You play the game, it's so insane
Called lost and found
Love's got you spinnin' all around, baby
Whoa, whoa, round and round
Love's got you goin'
It's turnin' you upside down
You play the game, it's so insane
Called lost and found
Love's got you spinnin' all around, baby
The world is all out there for you
It all depends on what you do
Your life's too short for wastin' time
So follow your heart and make up your mind
Round and round
Love's got you goin'
It's turnin' you upside down
You play the game, it's so insane
Called lost and found
Love's got you spinnin' all around, baby

You Nearly Did Me In
(ian hunter)
See lonely shadows - silver needles
Abandoned in the evening war
Lost children of the night - come catch the candle bright
I hear a hollow sound - falling to the ground - shes lost before shes found
Sad broken angels takin rainbows
Out on the street for all to see
If we are the chosen few - what ever happened to
All those things we knew, if this is being free -
Id rather search for me
Chorus
You nearly did, you nearly did, you nearly did
You nearly did me in, you nearly did me in
And I need some place to hide - my weary anger down
Out on some misty distant highway
Feel like I though a million miles
Is my search nearly done - I think I see someone
I get the urge to run on blindly through the rain,
And I fool myself again
Chorus
What ever happened to dignity
What ever happened to integrity
What ever happened to honesty
Well Ill tell you something baby - I feel the pain just like the sea

Tryin' To Get The Feelin'
Doctor, my woman is comin' back home late today
Could ya' maybe give me something?
'cause the feelin' is gone and I must get it back right away
Before she sees that I've been
Up, down, tryin' to get the feeling again
All around.... tryin' to get the feeling again
The one that made me shiver, made my knees start to quiver
Every time she walked in
And I've looked high, low, everywhere I possibly can
But there's no tryin' to get the feeling again
It seemed to disappear as fast as it came
Where did it run to?
I thought I'd done all that I could
Just to keep the lovelight burnin'
But whatever I've done I guess I just haven't done it too good
'cause all that's left is yearnin'
Cause I been up, down, tryin' to get the feeling again
All around....tryin' to get the feeling again
The one that made me shiver, made my knees start to quiver
Every time she walked in
And I've looked high, and low and everywhere I possibly can
But there's no tryin' to get the feeling again
It seemed to disappear as fast as it came
And I've been lookin', I've been lookin', I've been lookin'
I've been up, and down and tryin' to get the feelin'
I've been up ..I've been down...I've been tryin' to get
I've been tryin'..I've been tryin'..I've been tryin'
To get the feeling
I've been tryin' to get the feeling again
I want to get that feeling
I'm going to get that feeling
I got to get that feeling
I got to get that feeling
And again...and again...and again...and again
Tryin' to get that feeling

Just Looking For Him

She can concentrate on workin
Until her work is done
She can hold a conversation
As well as anyone
Shell fool you with sincerity
And if you didnt know her well
You would never see it
You could never tell
Chorus:
Shes just looking for him
Shes only rememberin
She might look like shes ready
To fall in love again
But shes just looking for him
She keeps one eye on the road
And one on the other lane
Lookin for his car
His memorys re-played
She searches other faces
Tryin to find that spark
But no one new can reach her
Or fill her hollow heart

Oh youd better keep your distance
Dont let her reel you in
Shes not quite herself now
How could she be when

Where do I go to soothe my head?

Where do I see? Where do I shine?

Shes Only Happy When Shes Dancin
Monday mornin - its time to get up
Two cups of coffee and she runs for the bus
Looks in the window and fixes her hair
Nobody notices and nobody cares
She admits it aint no kinda life
Workin 9 to 5 you know...
Shes only happy when shes dancin
There aint no place shed rather be
When shes dancin
Just her heart and her soul and her fantasies
When friday evenin finally rolls around
She grabs a taxi and she heads uptown
Goes to a place they call the ball and chain
Nothin matters until monday so she goes insane
Well its a bitch tryin to make ends meet
But thats the way the story goes
Shes only happy when shes dancin
There aint nothin makes her feel so free
When shes dancin
The girls outrageous and its plain to see
Solo
She aint got much but she got independence
Ya - shes doin alright
His eyes are on her as the evenins endin
But she aint goin for no mystery
Because nobody rides for free
Shes only happy when shes dancin
Dancin - there aint no place shed rather be
When shes dancin
Just her heart and her soul and her fantasies - dancin

Shes Leaving
Shes leaving, shes leaving
Everybody knows
Shes leaving, shes leaving
And I feel like such a fool
She left me standing here just two feet tall
I just dont know how she could do it
In front of our friends and all
She had better things to do and bigger plans
I thought we could make it with just us two
But I guess we cant
cause she cant
And Im only one man
But I love her
Its winter
Suddenly its winter
And I feel so cold inside
Its different
It couldve been so different
If only she didnt feel that need to lie
Whats the matter girl

That you couldnt tell me

Stayed in bed all mornin just to pass the time
Theres something wrong here there can be no denyin
One of us is changin
Or maybe weve just stopped tryin
And its too late baby
Now it too late
Tho we really did try to make it
Somethin inside has died
And I cant hide and I just cant fake it
It used to be so easy living with you
You were light and breezy and
I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy and I feel like a fool
And its too late baby
Now it too late
Tho we really did try to make it
Somethin inside has died and I cant hide
And I just cant fake it
Therell be good times again for me and you
But we just cant stay together
Dont you feel it too?
Still Im glad for what we had and how I once loved you
And its too late baby

Somethin inside has died and I cant hide
And I just cant fake it
