Solo
Writers: leo sayer & david courtney
Used to see him hanging around everywhere
In a world of his own
See him hanging round street corners
Where we would meet
He was a lonely kid
Now they tell us that hes moved on
Aint been seen for so long dont know where hes gone...
Its been so long, but Im on the road and
Though it aint been easy
At least I made it on my own
My tongues been tied for far too long
And now youre gonna hear me
At least I know where I belong...
S.o.l.o. Im on the road
S.o.l.o. Im on my own
Ysee everybodys got someone
To lay their troubled lives upon
Im really glad Ive only got my own...
Once upon a time, well I had lots of friends
I moved freely through their lives
But twos a couple and, well threes a crowd
I was just left out
Hanging around
Ive had as much now as I can take
There aint no need to stay...
S.o.l.o. Im on the road
S.o.l.o. Im all alone
And everybody smiles
As I go walking by
But I m really glad Ive only got my own...

This Old Road
Look at that old photograph
Is it really you
Smiling like a baby full of dreams
Smiling aint so easy now
Some are coming true
Nothings simple as it seems
But I guess you count your blessings with the problems
That youre dealing with today
Like the changing of the seasons
Chorus:
Aint you come a long way
Aint you come a long way
Aint you come a long way down
This old road
Looking at a looking glass
Running out of time
On a face you used to know
Traces of a future lost
In between the lines
One more rainbow for the road
Thinking of the faces in the window
That you passed along the way
Or the last thing you believed in
Chorus:
Aint you come a long way
Aint you come a long way
Aint you come a long way down
This old road
Say you tried to chase the sundown
And you let it slip away
And the holy night is falling
Chorus:
Aint you come a long way
Aint you come a long way
Aint you come a long way down
This old road
Look at that old photograph
Is it really you ?

If Walls Could Talk
(bobby miller)
Well, if things could talk then Im sure youd hear
A lot of things to make you cry my dear
Aint you glad [aint you glad]
Oh, aint you glad [aint you glad]
Aint you glad [glad]
Glad that things dont talk
Now, if shoes could tell where theyve been
When you say youve been visiting a friend
Aint you glad [aint you glad]
He-he-hey, aint you glad [aint you glad]
But aint you glad [glad]
Glad that shoes dont talk
Now, if doors could tell whos turned the knob
When hes away out on his job
If cars could tell whos been inside
And whos been taking you out for a ride
Aint you glad [aint you glad]
Oh, aint you glad [aint you glad]
But aint you glad [glad]
Glad that cars dont talk
In a world of trouble Id be
If things ever told on me
My whole life would be through
cause Im guilty, how about you ?
If things ever talk that way
Aint no telling what they might say
Aint you glad [aint you glad]
Oh, aint you glad [aint you glad]
Aint you glad [glad]
Glad that things dont talk

Here I Go Again
(coverdale/marsden)
I dont know where Im going
But, I sure know where Ive been
Hanging on the promises
In songs of yesterday
An Ive made up my mind,
I aint wasting no more time
But, here I go again
Here I go again
Tho I keep searching for an answer,
I never seem to find what Im looking for
Oh lord, I pray
You give me strength to carry on,
cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
An here I go again on my own
Goin down the only road Ive ever known,
Like a hobo* I was born to walk alone
An Ive made up my mind
I aint wasting no more time
Im just another heart in need of rescue,
Waiting on loves sweet charity
An Im gonna hold on
For the rest of my days,
cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
An here I go again on my own
Goin down the only road Ive ever known,
Like a hobo* I was born to walk alone
An Ive made up my mind
I aint wasting no more time
But, here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go...
An Ive made up my mind,
I aint wasting no more time
An here I go again on my own
Goin down the only road Ive ever known,
Like a hobo I was born to walk alone
cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
An here I go again on my own
Goin down the only road Ive ever known,
Like a hobo I was born to walk alone
An Ive made up my mind
I aint wasting no more time...
But, here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go again,
Here I go,
Here I go again...
* in the 1987 version this word is changed to drifter.

Vicious Streak
What am I gonna do
I feel like Im on fire
If you only knew
That youre the object of desire
I keep hanging on, keep hanging on
And I swear by God that youre the only one
I keep hanging on, keep hanging on
And I swear by God that it wont be long
My aim is true
My vision is clear
My thoughts are crude
Whenever youre near
I keep hanging on, keep hanging on
And I swear by God that youre the only one
I keep hanging on, keep hanging on
And I swear by God that it wont be long
I keep hanging on
Youve got a vicious streak
For someone so young
Youre like solar flair
In the rising sun
I keep hanging on
I keep hanging on
I keep hanging on
I keep hanging on

Going To Brownsville
(john estes, adapted by ry cooder)
Im going to brownsville, take that right hand road
Well, Im going to brownsville, take that right hand road
And I aint gonna stop walking till I get in sweet mamas door
The girl Im loving shes got great long curly hair
The girl Im loving shes got great long curly hair
And her mama and her papa well, they sure dont allow me there
If you catch my jumper (? ), babe, hanging upside your wall
Well, if you catch my jumper (? ), babe, hanging upside your wall
Well, you know by that I need my ashes hauled

Im going to brownsville, take that right hand road

Loving You Aint Easy
(saker/leathwood/sulsh)
Loving you, loving you aint easy
But I dont mind if I can stay here by your side
Every lonely road you walk along
Ill be there too
Just say the word love
And I would follow you
Every lonely road you walk along
Id walk along with you
If only you would show me that you care
Loving you, loving you aint easy
But I keep the pain inside and try to take it in my stride
Loving you, loving you aint easy
But I dont mind if I can stay here by your side
Wont you stop and take a look at me
Tell me what you see
Someone whos always there when everything goes wrong
Wont you stop and take a look at me
Must I always be
The kind of fool that you keep hanging on
Loving you, loving you aint easy
But I keep the pain inside and try to take it in my stride
Loving you, loving you aint easy
But I dont mind if I can stay here by your side
Theres been so many times Ive cried
But you wont know it
Cause baby I dont show it
Ooohh
Loving you aint easy
But I keep the pain inside and try to take it in my stride
Loving you, loving you aint easy
But I dont mind if I can stay here by your side

Dont Think Twice, Its All Right
It aint no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It dont matter, anyhow
An it aint no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you dont know by now
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and Ill be gone
Youre the reason Im travlin on
Dont think twice, its all right
It aint no use in turnin on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
An it aint no use in turnin on your light, babe
Im on the dark side of the road
Still I wish there was somethin you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talkin anyway
So dont think twice, its all right
It aint no use in callin out my name, gal
Like you never did before
It aint no use in callin out my name, gal
I cant hear you any more
Im a-thinkin and a-wondrin all the way down the road
I once loved a woman, a child Im told
I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
But dont think twice, its all right
Im walkin down that long, lonesome road, babe
Where Im bound, I cant tell
But goodbyes too good a word, gal
So Ill just say fare thee well
I aint sayin you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I dont mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But dont think twice, its all right

Meet In The Middle
(chaplin hartford/jim foster/don pfrimmer)
It was seven hundred fenceposts from your place to ours
Neither one of us was old enough to drive a car
Sometimes it was raining, sometimes it would shine
We wore out that gravel road between your house and mine
Id start walking your way
Youd start walking mine
Wed meet in the middle
neath that old georgia pine
Wed gain a lot of ground
cause wed both give a little
And their aint no road to long
When you meet in the middle
Its been seven years tomorrow since we said our vows
Under that old pine tree, you ought to see it now
Standing in the back yard reminding me and you
That if we dont see eye to eye theres something we can do
Id start walking your way
Youd start walking mine
Wed meet in the middle
neath that old georgia pine
Wed gain a lot of ground
cause wed both give a little
And their aint no road to long
When you meet in the middle
Babe I love the way we work it out
Thats what loves about
Id start walking your way
Youd start walking mine
Wed meet in the middle
neath that old georgia pine
Wed gain a lot of ground
cause wed both give a little
And their aint no road to long
When you meet in the middle
Id start walking your way
Youd start walking mine
Wed meet in the middle
neath that old georgia pine
Wed gain a lot of ground
cause wed both give a little
And their aint no road to long
When you meet in the middle
Id start walking your way
Youd start walking mine
Wed meet in the middle
neath that old georgia pine
Wed gain a lot of ground
cause wed both give a little
And their aint no road to long
When you meet in the middle

Gravel On The Road
This song was first released on the some days are diamonds album. it is the only album it has been released on.
If our lives could lie before us
Like a straight and narrow highway
So that we could see forever
Long before we took the ride
We would never look to heaven
Mke a wish or climb a mountain
cause wed always know the answer
To whats on the other side
But life aint no easy freeway
Just some gravel on the road
You pay for evry mile you go
And you spraed some dust around
But we all have destinations
And the dust will settle down
This life aint no easy freeway
Just some gravel on the road
So lets walk the road together
Who knows what well find tomorrow
Maybe good times maybe sorrow
Both are waitin round the bend
Given time two hearts discover
What theyre feelin for each other
At the best well end up lovers
At the least well make a friend
But life aint no easy freeway
Just some gravel on the road
You pay for evry mile you go
And you spread some dust around
But we all have destinations
And the dust will settle down
This life aint no easy freeway
Just some gravel on the road

The Long Road
And I wished for so long cannot stay
All the precious moments cannot stay
It's not like wings have fallen cannot stay
But still something's missing I cannot say yea
Holding hands are daughters and sons
And their faiths are falling down down down down
I have wished for so long
How I wish for you today
Will I walk the long road the long road
Cannot stay the long road
There's no need to say goodbye say goodbye
All the friends and family
All the memories going round round round
I have wished for so long
How I wish for you today
And the wind keeps roarin'
And the sky keeps turning grey
And the sun is setting
The sun won't rise another day
I have wished for so long
How I wish for you today
I have wished for so long
How I wish for you today
Will I walk the long road
We all walk the long road
Will I walk the long road
We all walk the long road
Will I walk the long road
Will I walk the long road
We all walk the long road
Will I walk the long road
We all walk the long road
Will I walk the long road

Orchard Road
Writers: leo sayer & alan tarney
To tell the truth its really such a sad affair
Standing here waiting in the cold night air
But Ive got to make this call
cause my heart is breaking.
I hear the bips drop a coin in the slot
Has it been that long
I thought youd forgotten me
Well I know that its getting late
But I just couldnt wait
Will I have the nerve to say
I just wanna come back
You shouldnt just go away
I just wanna come back
Ive been struck by such a bad luck
I need a place a little happiness and some love
I think I can see it now
Now let me paint the picture
Its twelve oclock and the curtains are drawn
Theyre counting sheep down in orchard road
Youre hanging on the telephone line tonight
And I wish I could be in orchard road
Not much been happening here
I think Ive got a job
Theyre gonna call me next week
And Ill be working out of town
But it sure beats hanging around
Whats that? tomorrow at two
Youre kidding me -- no
Is it allright with you
I dont know what to say
Itll be like a holiday
When you say youre all alone
Makes me wanna come back
And this house is not a home
I just gotta go back
Its twelve ten when I put down the phone
The moons shining down on orchard road
And Im feeling like a schoolboy again and tonight
Ill see you in my dreams of orchard road
Its funny but I thought Id never go back
I think sometimes I might loose track
But I remember you and the things we do
And I want it back.
In orchard road youve got my heart
I left it in your doorway
In orchard road a welcome back
Is waiting there just for me
In orchard road the sun will shine
Again I know I know
In orchard road you keep my love
Just waiting there for me
Its eight oclock and the dawns arrived
In orchard road its breakfast time
I climb in my car and I turn the key and Im gone
I am coming home
To orchard road
Im coming home

He Aint With Me
Calling all these other guys
Im seeing something I didnt before
Is that a new look in your eyes
Now you dont believe that Im asking for more
I saw you walking down the street
With another girl who looks just like me
People always say we look so happy
He took my love but he didnt take me
Chorus
He aint with me he aint with me
He says he loves me but he dont look in my eyes
But Ill take it till its all gone cause
He aint with me but at least Im not alone
You say you laughed with your old girlfriend
Youre doing nothing to encourage the end
I could be charming on long distance too
And if you want Ill make it easier for you
Communication is the key
Interrogation dont work for me
You saw that other guy smiling at me
If you were here I wouldnt act so free
Chorus
He aint with me he aint with me
He says he loves me but he dont look in my eyes
He likes to hold my hand in public
Stranger cant you see he aint with me
He aint with me he aint with me no more
He aint with me he aint with me
Bridge
I guess fate really has my number
Every time you wander away
I reconsider all the time you said youd stay
Chorus
He aint with me he aint with me
He aint with me no more
He likes to hold my hand in public
He aint with me he aint with me
But Ill take it till its all gone cause
He aint with me but at least Im not alone
He aint with me

I got some run-down shoes
Aint got no place to stay
But any old place will be okay
Its been a long, long day
I sure been on this road
Done nearly fourteen years
Cant say my names well known
You dont see my face in rolling stone
But I sure been on this road
Slow motion
Half a dollar bill
Jukebox in the corner
Shooting to kill
And its been a...

Cindy Incidentally

Oh cindy aint you noticed
That several of your friends have moved on
And the street outside is just a little too quiet
And your local papers run out of news
Im not persuading you or disengaging you
But cindy you and me we got to move
Can you refuse, no time to lose
Well hit the high road early this morning
So dont be late, dont hesitate
This dream can pass just as fast as lighting
And oh cindy incidentally baby I aint putting you on
Can you refuse, with ( ) lose
Well hit the high road early this morning
So dont be late, dont hesitate
This dream can pass just as fast as lighting
Oh cindy dont you worry
cause between us we can make it through
There aint nothing no no nothing
In the world I can do without you
So cindy get your coat on
Leave the rent with the gent up in the penthouse
Turn your music so loud lets attract a big crowd
Well drink a round to this town and bid goodbye

Money To Burn

Well the world just keeps on turning
And people keep on learning
Its crazy to be earning
All the money that youre burning
But if you fool yourself
An think youre really strong
Someone gonna see you
Show you that youre wrong..
Cos you cant take it with you
If you got money to burn

If youve got money to burn...
Riding in your roller
Oh, think youre pretty cool
But the big mans got your number
And hes just playing you for a fool
Cant take it with you

For your money to burn
Dont wanna be learn

For aint no dollar
Aint gonna turn
But I dont want money,
