Take It Or Leave It

How come he enjoys himself not me? (I dont know)
How come she smiles a good morning to me?
How do they make a hard days work easy?
Tell me something Ill put it to the test
Take hold of yourself and you will see
How lucky we are to be free,
Now you take for granted,
Life and country.
How come he jokes with friends but not me?
How can she sing out of tune not me?
How do they find time for kids on sunday?
I cant express uncalled for agress,
Youre in one-way traffic cant you see?
Before a head-on crash steer free,
When if its too late,
Dont come and cry to me.
How come they get on with but not me?
How can they walk arm-in-arm happily?
How does that old boy dance down the street?
Tell me something Ill put it to the test,
Take hold of yourself and you will see,
How lucky we are to be free,
Now you take for granted,
Life and country.
How come we never get on you and me?
How can we find out the remedy?
How does that old ladys home look neat?
How does that old ladys home look neat?
How does that old ladys home look neat?

One Way Or Another

Theres been some
Changes in my time
But this ones playing
Games with my mind
Stopped in my tracks
No thought of looking back
The ladys got me tied up
But Ive already made my mind up
One way or another
Shell be mine
It wasnt anything I could define
None of those ringing bells
Giving me a sign
I just took a look
But I was on the hook
The ladys got me tied up
Dont know how its gonna wind up
One way or another
Gonna be all right
Im beginning to think
That a forever kind of love
Is the kind of love
Ill look for forever
But still Ill love and love again
One way or another
I will find my friend
I knew some day my heart
Would lead my head
Beyond the path
My chosen life had led
Id been so sure
But where is the cure
The ladys got me real good
But you cant say
What I should do
One way or another
Its all over now
One way or another

Free Through Eternity

Soft in the morning
Love without warning
Peace cause theres no disguising it
When its love you cant hide from it
Now I dont want to be the shadow
When you find your new life
I only want to hold you in the dead of night
You dont have to search for me
You dont have to set yourself free
You are free through eternity
Now I have learned to sing with a steady mind
Fill the void and pass the time
And face this ground and erase the blue
When I leave the scene it all comes down to you
You dont have to search for me
And you dont have to set yourself free
You are free through eternity
Now I know its gotta be hard to find
That blessed balance - that fine line
But turn around and bless me
Or let me go in peace
I can meet you halfway
And give you all you need
But you dont have to search for me
And you dont ever have to set yourself free
You are free
Through eternity
Eternity
Eternally
You are free eternally
You are free

Ladys Baby

Ladys baby smiles and coos,
Takes away my lonely blues.
(ladys/babys? ) mother cooks my meals,
Warm and cool is really real...
Runnin never was much fun -
All it did was bring me down.
Chasin round isnt where its at.
Tension puts you in the ground.
Ladys baby pulls my hair,
Lets me know hes really there.
(ladys/babys? ) mother touches me,
And at last I really see...
Runnin never was much fun -
All it did was bring me down.
Chasin round isnt where its at.
Tension puts you in the ground.
Ladys baby lets me know
Life was meant for movin slow.
(ladys/babys? ) mother knows this too.
Lady, I love you.

Free

Here as I sit in this lonely square
This train of thought runs through my mind
I like it best when the choice is mine
I want to be free to speak my mind
And if I cry I want no-one to be there (be there)
Free to do what I want to do
And you should share this freedom too
If I lie it must be for a reason
Weve come a long way now
Theres still a way to go
And still were moving onwards
For all that you might think we are innocent
Innocent people
We are free
Im working hard
Im looking for the week-end
Oh! my good god
How the work is hard
And when its down to getting home
We dont know what to do - do you
I hurry home
All the people seem to hurry
Dont push me on
I think for myself
We move as one
We like to keep it all together
I take it all
No problem at all
Im a page in the book
Oooh take a look
Im a part of the whole
All my body and soul
I want you to know Ive cried me a river
Why cant this taker change into a giver
Why cant I work it out
I want to be free
Free in what Im choosin
Free with no excuses
Free to see the people
And to move ooo! ooo! ooo!
Free to choose my lover
Free to choose my brother
Free to need another
And I do - I need you
Im having a ball
Im part of the wall
No-one sees me at all
Im asking for one dance
I know that there wont be a second chance
Theres no return
Im ready to burn
I think Ill never learn
Im looking for direction
What I need from you is real protection
Ive done my best
Ive failed the test
I dont care about the rest
Wont someone set me free
Free in what Im choosin
Free with no excuses
Free to see the people
And to move! ooo! ooo! ooo!
Free to choose my lover
Free to choose my brother
Free to need another
And I do - I need you

No Speech

O.k. ready to take off
Do it slow
Im living on the bottom
I got to go
Five little fingers
Grabbing at the glass
Gone, those days
Now Im running
Up and down in my cage
Too late to defend, Im buried - insane
Dont you know theres more to life than to win
Are you that kind of stereotype?
Its no time, theres no time
Theres nothing I could answer
No speech
As long (as) I get nothing
No speech
As long (as) I get nothing
But I want to get home
Let me free, this is not my home
Put away your flashing stick
Dont try to get closer-through my head
Give me a little bit more of your own
A little more, dont wanna be
Anybodys clown
Too late to defend, Im buried - insane
Dont you know theres more to life than to win
Are you that kind of stereotype ?
Its no time, theres no time
Theres nothing I could answer
No speech
As long (as) I get nothing
No speech
As long (as) I get nothing
But I want to get home
Let me free, this is not my home
No speech
As long (as) I get nothing
No speech
As long (as) I get nothing
But I want to get home
Let me free, this is not my home

Lucky Arms

(j.b. rudd/vip vipperman)
Hes got lucky arms
He gets to hold her
The way I know I never will again
Theyre dancing close
With her head on his shoulder
Lucky arms, lucky heart, lucky him
They dont see me standing in these shadows
She dont know how bad my heart still aches
Hes holding on to everything I let go
Sure is making good off my mistakes
Hes got lucky arms
He gets to hold her
The way I know I never will again
Theyre dancing close
With her head on his shoulder
Lucky arms, lucky heart, lucky him
Before too long the music will stop playing
Hell take her hand and then hell take her home
And I can just imagine what hes saying
The way hes smiling I can tell he knows
Hes got lucky arms
He gets to hold her
The way I know I never will again
Theyre dancing close
With her head on his shoulder
Lucky arms, lucky heart, lucky him
Lucky arms, lucky heart
He ought to thank his lucky stars
Lucky arms, lucky heart, lucky him

You Keep Me Hangin On

(brian holland/lamont dozier/edward holland, jr.)
Set me free, why dont cha babe
Get out my life, why dont cha babe
cause you dont really love me
You just keep me hangin on
You dont really need me
But you keep me hangin on
Why do you keep a coming around
Playing with my heart?
Why dont you get out of my life
And let me make a new start?
Let me get over you
The way youve gotten over me
Set me free, why dont cha babe
Let me be, why dont cha babe
cause you dont really love me
You just keep me hangin on
Now you dont really want me
You just keep me hangin on
You say although we broke up
You still wanna be just friends
But how can we still be friends
When seeing you only breaks my heart again
And there aint nothing I can do about it
Woo, set me free, why dont cha babe
Woo, get out my life, why dont cha babe
Set me free, why dont cha babe
Get out my life, why dont cha babe
You claim you still care for me
But your heart and soul needs to be free
Now that youve got your freedom
You wanna still hold on to me
You dont want me for yourself
So let me find somebody else hey!
Why dont you be a man about it
And set me free
Now you dont care a thing about me
Youre just using me
Go on, get out, get out of my life
And let me sleep at night
cause you dont really love me
You just keep me hangin on...

Pursuit On 53rd Street

Tom johnston
On a cross-town bus in the city
I spied a lady all dressed in black
High heeled shoes and her dress cut loose
Her front was saggin out on the rack
I believe, I believe
That the ladys gonna bring me luck
I believe, I believe
That the ladys gonna bring me luck
Driver, wont you stop this crazy machine
And let my feet out and touch the ground
Got to lay me a line on the lady
Before she walks down the street too far
I believe, I believe
That the ladys gonna bring me luck
I believe, I believe
That the ladys gonna bring me luck

Home

Home alone
A place to be on
Where to find me on phone
I'll be seated by the stone

Home for long
A place to go strong
Where to find me no wrong
I'll be waiting a knock at gong

Home for good
A place to get food
Where to find no trace of rude
I'll be relaxed to manage my mood
_
Home my home
A place to avoid life storm
Where smiles 're always worm
I'll be chatting with brother Tom

Home my fame
A place to hold my name
Where my title find its stem
I'll be standing to rub my shame

Home of peace
A place that none tease
Where respect never miss
I'll be holding your forehead for a kiss

Home best refuge
A place we no grudge
Where care has no judge
I'll be having meals by the fridge

Home is sweetest
A place without evil test
Where, West from East
I'll sing, Home remain the best

Look At Me

I know a place where we can talk
A precious smile poor little girl so pale and proud
Hold me
Control me
So proud
Youre on the town youre on your own
Dont walk away dont pass me by and run for home
Hold me
Control me
Dont run for home
I followed you I tracked you down
And now its time to go underground
Ive never been alone with you
So hold my hand and lead me through
If you say Ill make room for you
If you do exactly what I tell you to
The saddest face the perfect thing
Its time to face whats happening
Now that youre here
Theres nothing to fear
Just look at me
Look at me
Theres something I cannot resist
Let me tell you what it is
Its when you walk away from me
I promise not to set you free
Dont try to run Im everywhere
If you escape then Ill be there
I know a place where we can talk
Ill walk with you, dont hide away
And leave me here alone
Not here alone
Alone with you
I think you always knew
Just look at me
Look at me
Look at me
Look at me
Youre on the town youre not alone
I cant give up poor little girl so sweet and small
So sweet and small
Hold me
Control me
Please
Hold me
Control me
Look at me
Look at me

You're Not Free

I remember you like it was yesterday
Remember the time you said youd find me
I remember the songs that you used to play
I hear them still and it reminds me
My runaway you know youve gone wrong for so long
So glamorus at the outset
Now youre almost done
Youre not free
Youre only lost
Time to get home
And count up the calls
Livin on dreams
That never were real
Get down to the touch
Because you cant feel
Youre not free
Youre only lost
Prayin to God
Youve broken the chains
One day youll look back
And think of my name
All of your friends
Pretend youre the best
They run you around
But they could care less
Theyll never see
How good it could be
No man like me
Theyll never know
Just where it could go
You think youre free
Youre not free
Youre only lost
Time to get home
And count up the calls
Livin on dreams
That never were real
Get down to the touch
Because you cant feel
You stumbled
And you still dont see it
The losers always think they can win
Youre never gonna wannabelieve it
You think youre gone
But I see ya yeah
Youre not free
Youre only lost
Time to get home
And count up the calls
Livin on dreams
That never were real
Get down to the touch
Because you cant feel
Youre not free
Youre only lost
Time to get home
And count up the calls
Livin on dreams
That never were real
Get down to the touch
Because you cant feel
Youre not free
Youre only lost
Youre not free
Youre not free
Youre not free

The Defector

Orbison/dees/angie morrow
It's the bonnie and clyde days
Where the girls wear curls and lace
And the boys can't stand the pace of war
It's not the war but the cause the country's fighting for
The seed of discontent is sown
They're burning card back home, back home
The old folks just can't ignore
The posters with ink anymore
I'm not sure what to think
Now i wonder why i'm on this foreign shore
To find peace of mind
For now i walk alone
Amd it's no better to leave than stay
And give more than i had to give
My life was not my own the wife i've never known
I may never know i may never go back home
To the land of the free, back home
To the land of the free back home
Would there be a place for me back home back home?
Well i always wonder why
Will they take me when i die back home

Got To Be Free

Hush little baby dont you cry
Soon the sun is going to shine
Were going to be free like the birds and the bees
Running wild in the big country
Got to be free to do what I want
Walk if I want, talk if I want
Got to be free to say what I want
Make what I want and play what I want
As free as the birds up in the sky
As free as the bugs and the spiders and flies
I dont know how but Im gonna try
Ive just got to be free
And it wont be long cos were right
And they are wrong
Weve got to get out of this world somehow
Weve got to be free, weve got to be free now
Got to be free to laugh when I want
Think what I want and cry if I like
Got to be free to do what I want
Say what I want and swear if I like
As free as the sun and the moon in the sky
As free as a flea or a proud butterfly
I dont know how but Im gonna try
Ive just got to be free
Yeah, weve got to get out of this world somehow
Weve got to be free, weve got to be free now
Got to be free to do what I want
Walk if I want and talk if I want
Got to be free to say what I want
Make what I want and play what I want
Ive got to be proud and stand up straight
And let people see I aint nobodys slave
Ive got to be free before its too late
Ive just got to be free
Got to be free to do what I want
Walk if I want, talk if I want

Leave My Blues At Home

I been trapped inside four walls, feel like I cant call to no one
Ah, way out on the outside.
Well livin alone is easy, but too long just dont seem really
Quite the thing to do, no.
Think Ill drink up a little more wine, to ease my worried mind.
And walk down on the street, and leave my blues at home. all behind.
The landlord is on my line, I cant get no peace of mind.
But I know theres something better.
I cant stay and I cant run, cant keep waitin for someone
To find and go roll.
Well Ill gather up all my four leaf clovers.
Dont leave, Im on my way over.
A walk down on the street, and leave my blues at home. all behind.
And I feel I have to scream
Whenever I get the notion.
And though I try so hard,
I cant hold back my emotions.
But i... love you, but I cant have ya. wont you sit by my side.
You dont work, the man dont pay ya.
There aint no saint to come and save ya, oh, puttin your toll down.
Well, if you ride you pay the fare... with satan on your back.
And he dont care where you come from or where you goin.\
And before I get myself all down, I jump up and kick the door down.
And walk down on the street, and leave my blues at home. all behind.

Tell Me, Are You Tired

What do you do when youre down and out
Do you sit and sigh and wonder why
If the answer just comes right to you-ou
Its letting you know just what to do
Oh your ladys tired of you running around
And if you dont stop shell put you down
Says shes got good to gi-i-ive
All of her love and affection here
All you got to do is stop running around
Chorus: tell me, are you tired
Tell me, are you tired runnin around
Ooh oo-oo-oo-ooh
Tell me, are you tired
Running arou-ou-ou-ound, mm-mm
Tell me, are you tired
Tell me, are you tired pla-a-ay round town
Tell me, are you tired
Tell me, are you tired gettin down on the town
Stay at home, stay at home
Lady says she needs your love
It just cant come from up above
She doesnt want to be by herself
Says she wants you and no one else
Knows you bring home the bread
Thats half the plan, stay and hold her hand
You being home is surely missed
All she wants is you to hug and kiss
All you got to do is start
Stay at home

I Dont Wanna Go Home

(lead vocal - lenny zakatek)
Go back home you damn fool
Surely you know you cant win
You should never have come near this place
You should have stayed outside, lookin in
Its too late to turn back
Nobody asked you to try
But they blinded you with diamonds
And all the money that money can buy
And Im so afraid of being on my own
But I dont wanna go home
You cant win you damn fool
You drank all the wine from the cup
And your painted ladys gone now
And youre way back on the downside, lookin up
You cant catch the monkey on your back
Nobody asked you to try
But for every heart they held a spade
And you lost more than money can buy
And Im so afraid of being on my own
But I dont wanna go home
Im like a washed up rag
Tattered and torn
I wish Id never been born
And Im so afraid of being on my own
But I dont wanna go home
Im like a down and out just blowin my horn
Oh I dont wanna go home
Im like a washed up rag
Tattered and torn
Oh I dont wanna go home

Dont Stay Home

Life could slip away in absent minded numbness
Im only sayin this cuz I wish for the best
When you always stay in self-incarceration
I thinks its such a shame
Dont stay home this time no dont stay home
If he dont have to he dont want to
Dont stay home this time no dont say no
Oh how Id like to diffuse your time bomb anger
Its screaming danger danger this kind of world
Dont care if youre home so you better get some
Dont stay home this time no dont stay home
If he dont have to he dont want to
Dont stay home this time no dont say no
Everything Im sayin you can dismiss
Because I sat alone on this past christmas
I deserved to be alone
But I guess I should have gone home
Hey dont break the mold kid just eat around it
Yeah thats what I did
Ill be running around the block
For no apparent reason
Somethin youll catch me doin in any season
Gotta break a sweat man gotta go bust out
Biddy by by by by
Good-bye to the drout, yea
Dont stay home this time no dont stay home
If he dont have to he dont want to
Dont stay home this time no dont say no
Dont stay home this time no dont stay home
If he dont have to he dont want to
Dont stay home this time no dont stay home

Its vol 1, john denver (italian), take me home, country roads and other hits, country classics and voice of america albums. a live version also appears on the live in london album.
Its a long way from la to denver
Its a long time to hang in the sky
Its a long way home to starwood in aspen
A sweet rocky mountain paradise
Oh, my sweet rocky mountain paradise
Springtime is rollin round slowly
Grey skies are bringin me down
I cant remember when Ive ever been so lonely
I forgot what its like to be home
Cant remember what its like to be home
But I think on my ladys sweet memories
I think on my childrens sweet smiles
I think on my home in starwood in aspen
All my friends and the snow covered hills
Oh, my friends are the snow covered hills
And I tell you Im happy to be here
To share and consider this time
For I see here the shadows of changes
And a feeling of new friends to find
And I see here some new friends to find
But its a long way from this place to denver
Its a long time to hang in the sky
Its a long way home to starwood in aspen
A sweet rocky mountain paradise
Oh, my sweet rocky mountain paradise

Starstruck

If Im high on a hill
She will still be looking down at me
What does she see
That brings her closer every day to my heart
If Im away from home
And think Im all alone
Shes there, somewhere
I look around to see
And looking back at me
Shes there, beware
Creeping like a hungry cat
Seen it before
And I know it can mean that
* the ladys starstruck shes nothing but bad luck
The ladys starstruck running after me
The ladys starstruck shes nothing but bad luck, yeah, yeah
I could fly to the moon
But shed soon find a way to be there
I never knew for a while
That a smile made em really care
She wants a souvenir
To everyone its clear
Shes hooked, one look
She wants a photograph
And everybody laughs
But not me, cause I see
Shes creeping like a hungry cat
Seen it before and I know it can mean that
*
I used to be a game
Now I cant repeat my name at all
She seems to believe that
I never can refuse her call
She wants a souvenir
To everyone its clear
Shes hooked, one look
She wants a photograph
And everybody laughs
But not me, cause I see
Shes creeping like a hungry cat
Seen it before and I know it can mean that
* x 2
And back of a tree
Im looking back at me
Blind and off my state
Ive just got to beware
The ladys starstruck
Yes, shes bad luck, bad luck
