1.Hearts on Fire
(R. Meisner/E. Kaz)
Had myself a tall one
Waitin' at the bar
Wasn't gonna leave her
Till I had her in the car
Moon was growing bright
Stars were standing still
Waiting for my baby
In the cold December chill
I been achin'
From desire
Blood running like a ragin' river
But her heart's on fire
Couldn't write a letter
'Cause I don't know what to say
Couldn't write a song
'Cause I don't know what to play
Come a little closer
Better hold me tight
Gonna roll on down the highway
And rock on with my baby all night
2.GOTTA GET AWAY
(R. Meisner/E. Kaz/W. Waldman)
Gotta get away
Gonna leave this town today
It's been too long a time
I've been ready to go
But I just couldn't face it
My back's to the wall
Ooh, don't you know
I can't take it no more
This time in my life I know I won't be coming home
Can't you see in my eyes I'm gonna have to go it alone
I don't know where I'm going
All I know
Is that I gotta get away from here
There ain't nothin' in these dusty streets
But there's something in these dreams
I don't know what they mean
They come and they go
And they keep haunting me
Night after night
I turn them away
But they keep calling
This time in my life I know I won't be coming home
Can't you see in my eyes I'm gonna have to go it alone
I don't know where I'm going
All I know
Is that I gotta get away from here
3.COME ON BACK TO ME
(R. Meisner/E. Kaz/W. Waldman)
I saw you yesterday
On the street where we once lived
You didn't see me as you passed me by
I noticed how you've changed
And the only reason is
The one you're with just doesn't treat you right
You need someone who really loves you
You need someone who cares about you
You need someone who really wants you
Won't you come on back to me
Come back to me
You've been with him so long
That you don't realize
How he takes you for granted all the time
And when he breaks you down
Do you ever think of me
I never made you cry when you were mine
You need someone who really loves you
You need someone who cares about you
You need someone who really wants you
Won't you come on back to me
Come back to me
4.DEEP INSIDE MY HEART
(R. Meisner/E. Kaz)
I stayed up all night
Waiting for you to call
But something ain't right
Night after night
I get lonely
It's been awhile
Since I've seen that look in your eyes
Now that you're gone
I can't go on
Without you
Deep inside my heart
I had a feelin' right from the start
You didn't love me
Deep inside my heart
I had a feelin' you tore apart
You didn't want me
Like I wanted you
I turned out the light
I tossed and I turned until dawn
I couldn't sleep
And just couldn't keep
From cryin'
I'll never learn
Whatever I do I get burned
You went away
Now I face the day
Without you
5.I NEED YOU BAD
(R. Meisner/E. Kaz/W. Waldman)
I was caught in the shadows of another love
And chained to the memory of my deep dark past
Life has no meaning when you're feeling sad
Oh baby, I need you bad
You'll never believe me, but I swear it's true
I was alone, 'til I met you
You've given me something that I never had
Oh baby, I need you bad
The years were so lonely
Living without you
Now I've got you here in my life
Can't make it without you
Our love is so right
Don't leave me alone tonight
6.ONE MORE SONG
(Jack Tempchin)
I was singin' in a bar in San Diego
And the clock on the wall said
Time to go
And the old man in the chair
By the fire
Said would you boys mind playin'
One more
One more song for the night gone by
One more song for the long ride home
One more song before I walk out the door
One more song before I'm alone
Me and my buddies we were known
As the Silverados
I was leavin' town
For good that night
So, we sang him one more in
The Old Sombrero Bar
Beneath the broken
Neon light
One more song for the night gone by
One more song for the good times and the bad
For the faces of strangers and the
Voices of friends
One more song for the times we had
So we sang him a sad and a sweet one
And we sang it so soft
And so high
And his tired eyes
They smiled goodbye
When the waitress said
Closin' time
I thought, it's funny the places
Life will lead you
As I was packin' away my bass guitar
I was singin' this song as the road
Raced along, and the empty night
Swallowed my car
One more song for the night gone by
One more song for the things we've done
One more song for this road
I'm traveling on
One more song for the time to come
For the times to come
7.TROUBLE AHEAD
(R. Meisner/E. Kaz/W. Waldman)
Right there in your face
I can see the signs
You're livin' your life just a little too fast
I know that you think
You have so much time
Take it from me it never will last
Trouble ahead, trouble's gonna find you
You don't know what you're heading for
Dead ahead trouble's waiting for you
Trouble ahead and waiting at your door
Something that you said
Gave you away
You're looking so hard but you never will see
Ooh, don't you know
It's not me you're running from
What will it take to make you believe
Trouble ahead, trouble's gonna find you
You don't know what you're heading for
Dead ahead trouble's waiting for you
Trouble ahead and waiting at your door
Trouble, trouble ahead
Trouble's gonna find you
Trouble ahead
Trouble ahead, trouble's gonna find you
You don't know what you're heading for
Dead ahead trouble's waiting for you
Trouble ahead and waiting at your door
8.WHITE SHOES
(Jack Tempchin)
I want 'em
I need 'em
And I'm gonna go out and get 'em
White shoes
I know I'll
Feel better
When I slide down into the leather
White shoes
You know she left me with a lonesome blues
Been sittin' around too long with nothin' to do
Yeah, she really made me pay those dues
But, I'm going out on the town tonight
In white shoes
White shoes
Woah, woah, white shoes
White shoes
Woah, woah -- white shoes
Well, I woke up
Form a dream
When I saw 'em in a magazine
White shoes
I said, Jack
You gotta start new
And the first thing you gonna do
Is get some white shoes
You know she left she with a lonesome blues
Been sittin' around too long with nothin' to do
Yeah, she really made me pay those dues
But, I'm goin' out on the town tonight
In white shoes
White shoes
Woah, woah, white shoes
White shoes
Woah, woah -- white shoes
I want 'em
I need 'em
Yes, and I went out
And got 'em
White shoes
That new girl
When I see her
I'm gonna walk right up
And meet her in
White shoes
You know she left me with a lonesome blues
Been sittin' around too long with nothin' to do
Yes, she really made me pay those dues
But, I'm goin' out on the town tonight
In white shoes
White shoes, woah, woah
White shoes
Woah, woah -- white shoes
9.ANYWAY BYE BYE
(Richie Furay)
Are you sad that I'm leavin'
Well baby, bye byes aren't always pleasin'
Would you come along with me
If I was leavin'
I been down on my knees
Long enough for pleasin'
I got to clear my head
Changes that I dread
Are waiting for me
Waiting for me
Anyway, bye bye
Many thoughts
Have passed
Between us
But when words aren't made clear
They become so meaningless
I gotta get away from here
I'm tossin' in sleeplessness
Wondering who
Has the right to happiness
I got to clear my head
Changes that I dread
Are waiting for me
Waiting for me
Anyway, bye bye
