Theyre On The Road
Its the season of the golden leaves
When the wind turns into a bitter breeze
I was walking thru the oak leaves on the hill
With my lady, oh shes got a strong will
And I see her thru these ever-clouded eyes
This time its goodbye and I cant answer why
Maybe its because I aint quite shy of running yet
Or maybe its because Im the hometown boy in the spotlight
But my roots aint in the ground
Theyre on the road
Settle down was all I ever heard from her
If you cared, she said, you would weigh my words
But my life doesnt ride on the factory road
Baby, dont ask me why, I cant even pretend to know

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

Why Aint I Running
More info about this song in the song database
I can hear that highway calling
As I watch the sunrise crawling across her shoulder
This is usually goodbye
And yet those words I just cant find here as I hold her
Shes like no other woman
That I have known before
And it aint me to see the morning sun
From this side of the door
Chorus:
Why aint I running, why aint I gone
How does she hold me without holding on
In love or a fight shes stronger than strong
Somethings not right if there aint nothing wrong
Its got me wondering, why aint I running
Why aint I gone
All those words I left behind me
Praying they would never find me and my freedom
But if they stood right here beside me
They would never recognize me for all that shes done
Once happiness was only
Whenever I was on my own
So now why do I feel lonely
Any time that Im alone
Repeat chorus
No, theyve never built a wall that high
Or made a chain that strong
And God aint never made a place
I felt like I belong
Repeat chorus

Secrets
She aint waiting til she gets older,
Her feet are making tracks in teh winter snow,
She got a rainbow that touches her shoulder,
She be headed where the thunder rolls,
Ah,ah,ah
She got rhythm,
Got that rhythm,of the road
Ah,ah,ah
She get crazy,
Woman get crazy if she cant go
Ah but ah,she just looking good.
She comes like the secret wind
Shes as strong as the mountains,walks tall as a tree.
She been there before,shell never give in,
Shell be gone tomorrow like the silent breeze.
Ah,ah,ah
She got rhythm,
Got that rhythm,of the road
Ah,ah,ah
She get crazy,
She get crazy if she cant go
Ah but ah,she just looking good.
You know how sometimes,you got to rush,
Youre running blind,but she jumps the gun.
Question is,not does love exist,but when,she leaves,where she goes.
I got a feeling she dont know either,
Wait like the wind,watch where she blows.
Oh,oh, got that rhythm,
That sweet rhythm,of the road
Oh,oh,oh she get crazy,
Woman get crazy,if she cant go
Oh,oh a looking good
Ah yes!

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 ?

He Aint Heavy... Hes My Brother
(bob russell/bobby scott)
The road is long with many a winding turn
That leads us to who knows where, who knows when
But Im strong--strong enough to carry him
He aint heavy, hes my brother
So on we go--his welfare is my concern
No burden is he to bear--well get there
For I know he would not encumber me
He aint heavy, hes my brother
If Im laden at all--Im laden with sadness
That everyones heart isnt filled with the gladness of love for one another
Its a long, long road from which there is no return
While were on our way to there
Why not share?
And the load--it doesnt weigh me down at all
He aint heavy, hes my brother
He aint heavy, hes my brother
He aint heavy. hes my brother

Dont Think Twice, Its Alright
Well it aint no use to sit and wonder why babe
If you dont know by now
It aint no use to sit and wonder why babe
It dont matter anyhow
When the rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and Ill be gone
Youre the reason Im traveling on
And dont think twice, its alright
Aint no use in turning on your light babe
Its a light Ive never known
There aint no use in turning on your light baby
Im on the dark side of the road
I wish there was something you could do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talking anyway
And dont think twice, its alright
Aint no use in calling out my name now
Like youve never done before
Aint no use in calling out my name now
I cant hear you anymore
Thinking and wondering all the way down the road
I once loved a woman, a child, Im told
I gave her my heart, she wanted my soul
And dont think twice, its alright
Im going down that long lonesome road babe
Where Im bound I cant tell
But goodbye is too good a word babe
So Ill just say fare thee well
I aint saying you treated me unkind
Coulda done better but I dont mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
And dont think twice, its alright
And dont think twice, its alright

Most Of The Time
Most of the time Im clear focused all around
Most of the time I can keep both feet on the ground
I can follow the path, I can read the sign
I can stay right with it, and the road unwinds
I can handle whatever I stumble upon
I dont even notice that shes gone
Most of the time
Most of the time its well understood
Most of the time I wouldnt change it if I could
I can make it all match up, I can hold my own
I can deal with the situation right down to the bone
I can survive and I can endure
And I dont even think about her
Most of the time
Most of the time my head is on straight
Most of the time Im strong enough not to hate
I dont build up illusion til it makes me sick
I aint afraid of confusion no matter how thick
I can smile in the face of mankind
Dont even remember what her lips felt like on mine
Most of the time
Most of the time she aint even in my mind
I wouldnt know her if I saw her, shes that far behind
Most of the time I cant even be sure
If she was ever with me or if I was ever with her
Most of the time Im halfways content
Most of the time I know exactly where it all went
I dont cheat on myself, I dont run and hide
Hide from the feelings that I buried inside
I dont compromise and I dont pretend
I dont even care if I ever see her again
Most of the time

Say it aint so jo, please, say it aint so
Thats not what I wanna hear jo
And I got a right to know
Say it aint so jo, please, say it aint so
Im sure theyre telling us lies jo
Please tell us it aint so
They told us that our hero has played his trump card
He doesnt know how to go on
Were clinging to his charm and determined smile
The good old days have gone
The image and the empire may be falling apart
The money has gotten scarce
One mans word held the country together
But the truth is getting fierce
Say it aint so jo, please, say it aint so
We pinned our hopes on you jo
And theyre ruining our show
Ooh baby dont you think
Were gonna get burned
Ooh baby dont you think
Were gonna get burned
Were gonna get turned
Were gonna get burned
Yes were gonna get turned
Were gonna get burned
Were gonna get turned
Yes, were gonna get burned
Were gonna get burned
Were gonna get burned
Yes were gonna get turned
Were gonna get burned

And never let another girl thrill my heart

My huggin and my kissin belong to just one

If you gave me nine lives like a tommy cat

My Hometown
I was eight years old and running with a dime in my hand
Into the bus stop to pick up a paper for my old man
Id sit on his lap in that big old buick and steer as we drove through town
Hed tousle my hair and say son take a good look around
This is your hometown, this is your hometown
This is your hometown, this is your hometown
In '65 tension was running high at my high school
There was a lot of fights between the black and white
There was nothing you could do
Two cars at a light on a saturday night in the back seat there was a gun
Words were passed in a shotgun blast
Troubled times had come to my hometown
My hometown, my hometown, my hometown
Now main streets whitewashed windows and vacant stores
Seems like there aint nobody wants to come down here no more
Theyre closing down the textile mill across the railroad tracks
Foreman says these jobs are going boys and they aint coming back to
Your hometown, your hometown, your hometown, your hometown
Last night me and kate we laid in bed talking about getting out
Packing up our bags maybe heading south
Im thirty-five we got a boy of our own now
Last night I sat him up behind the wheel and said son take a good
Look around
This is your hometown

Some folks are born made to wave the flag
Ooh, theyre red, white and blue
And when the band plays hail to the chief
They point the cannon right at you
It aint me, it aint me
I aint no senators son
It aint me, it aint me
I aint no fortunate son
Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord they dont help themselves
But when the taxman comes to the door
Lord, the house looks like a rummage sale
It aint me, it aint me
I aint no millionaires son
It aint me, it aint me
I aint no fortunate son
Some folks inherit star spangled eyes
Ooh, they send you down to war
And when you ask them how much should we give ?
They only answer more! more! more!
It aint me, it aint me

Running Up That Hill
If I only could, Id be running up that hill.
If I only could, Id be running up that hill.
It doesnt hurt me.
Do you want to feel how it feels?
Do you want to know that it doesnt hurt me?
Do you want to hear about the deal that Im making?
You, its you and me.
And if I only could,
Id make a deal with god,
And Id get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
If I only could, oh...
You dont want to hurt me,
But see how deep the bullet lies.
Unaware Im tearing you asunder.
Ooh, there is thunder in our hearts.
Is there so much hate for the ones we love?
Tell me, we both matter, dont we?
You, its you and me.
Its you and me wont be unhappy.
And if I only could,
Id make a deal with god,
And Id get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building,
Say, if I only could, oh...
You,
Its you and me,
Its you and me wont be unhappy.
Cmon, baby, cmon darling,
Let me steal this moment from you now.
Cmon, angel, cmon, cmon, darling,
Lets exchange the experience, oh...
And if I only could,
Id make a deal with god,
And Id get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.
And if I only could,
Id make a deal with god,
And Id get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems.
And if I only could,
Id make a deal with god,
And Id get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,

You Just Cant Win
One more coffee
One more cigarette
One more morning trying to forget.
If I had the chance
To join your dance
I wouldnt like to bet,
Your game is something yet
Its a shame,
Aint natural for you,
Baby, its a sin,
You know you just cant win
When you are in.
You used to ride on buses
Take a tube to camden town.
Now you go by aeroplane
Dont let nothing bring you down.
Its a shame,
Aint natural for you,
Baby, its a sin,
Dont you know you just cant win
When you are in.
Now the road is dark and lonely,
But you got a pearl light mode.
Youre up in park lane now
And Im somewhere around
In tottenham court road.
Its a shame,
Aint natural for you,
Baby, its a sin,
Dont you know you just cant win
When you are in.

Were Both Thinking Of Her
(george tobin/mark keefner)
You dont hear me talking to ya baby
Cant seem to get through
Are you wishing I was someone new?
You know I am your one and lonely
And things are changing fast
Got a feeling tonight could be our last
Youre running in the wrong direction
Im running out of time
Cause baby were both thinking of her tonight
Were both thinking of her
Were both thinking of her tonight
Whats she got that I aint got - shes got you
Aint it funny me and her were best friend
I remember those nights
Trading things about you til she got it right
Dont want to seem a little plastic
Help me where do I start
Deep in my mind I know whos on your heart
Youre running away with my best friend
Im running out of time
Cause baby were both thinking of her tonight
Were both thinking of her
Were both thinking of her tonight
Whats she got that I aint got - shes got you
Tell me something you know the words
Whats it gonna be
Baby tell me what you dont see in me
