So far away, doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore? It would be so fine to see your face at my door Doesn't help to know you're just time away Long ago I reached for you and there you stood Holding you again could only do me good How I wish I could, but you're so far away One more song about movin' along the highway Can't say much of anything that's new If I coild only work this life out my way I'd rather spend in bein' close to you. But you're so far away, doesn't anybody stay in one place any more It would be so fine to see your face at my door Doesn't help to know you're so far away
Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time There's something wrong here, there can be no denying One of us is changing, or maybe we've stopped trying
*And it's too late, baby, now it's too late Though we really did try to make it Something inside has died and I can't hide And I just can't fake it, oh no no no
It used to be so easy living here with you You where light and breezy and I knew just what to do Now you look so unhappy, and I feel like a fool
*Repeat
There'll be good times again for me and you But we just can't stay together, don't you feel it too Still I'm glad for what we had, and how I once loved you
But it's too late, baby, now it's too late Though we really did try to make it Something inside has died and I can't hide And I just can't fake it, oh no no no...
Too late baby, it's too late, now darling, it's too late
Sometimes I wonder if I'm Ever gonna make it home again. It's so far and out of sight. I really need someone to talk to And nobody else Knows how to comfort me tonight. Snow is cold; Rain is wet. Chills my soul right to the marrow. I won't be happy 'til I see You alone again. 'Til I'm home again and feelin' right. Snow is cold; Rain is wet. Chills my soul right to the marrow. I won't be happy 'til I see You alone again. 'Til I'm home again and feelin' right. 'Til I'm home again and feelin' right. I wanna be home again and feelin' right
You´ve got to get up every morning with a smaile on you´re face And show the world all the love in you´re heart Then people gonna treat you better You´re gonna find, yes you will That you´re beautiful as you feel.
Waiting at the station with a workday wind a-blowing I´ve got noting to do but watch the passers-by Mirrored in their faces I see frustration growing And they don´t see it showing, why do I?
You´ve got to get up every morning with a smaile on you´re face And show the world all the love in you´re heart Then people gonna treat you better You´re gonna find, yes you will That you´re beautiful as you feel.
I have often asked myself the reason for the sadness In a world where tears are just a lullabye If there´s any answer, maybe love can end the madness Maybe not, oh but we can only try.
You´ve got to get up every morning with a smaile on you´re face And show the world all the love in you´re heart Then people gonna treat you better You´re gonna find, yes you will That you´re beautiful as you feel.

Now, Smackwater Jack, He bought a shotgun 'Cause he was in the mood For a little confrontation. He just a-let it all hang loose; He didn't think about the noose. He couldn't take no more abuse So he shot down the congregation. You can't talk to a man With a shotgun in his hand. Now, Big Jim the chief Stood for law and order. He called for the guard to come And surround the border. Now, from his bulldog mouth, As he led the posse south, Came the cry, "We got to ride To clean up the streets For our wives and our daughters!" You can't talk to a man When he don't wanna understand. No, no, no, no, no. The account of the capture Wasn't in the papers, But you know, they hanged ol' Smack right then Instead of later. You know, the people were quite pleased 'Cause the outlaw had been seized And on the whole, it was a very good year For the undertaker. You know, you know, you can't talk to a man With a shotgun in his hand. A shotgun in his hand. Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun. Yeah, Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun. Oh, Smackwater Jack, yeah. Talkin' 'bout Smackwater Jack, yeah. Talkin' 'bout a-Smackwater Jack, now. Talkin' 'bout Smack. Talkin' 'bout Jack. Smackwater Jack, yeah
My life has been a tapestry Of rich and royal hue; An everlasting vision Of the ever-changing view; A wond'rous woven magic In bits of blue and gold; A tapestry to feel and see; Impossible to hold. Once amid the soft silver Sadness in the sky, There came a man of fortune; A drifter passing by. He wore a torn and tattered cloth Around his leathered hide And a coat of many colors; Yellow, green, on either side. He moved with some uncertainty As if he didn't know Just what he was there for Or where he ought to go. Once he reached for something Golden hanging from a tree And his hand came down emp-ty. Soon within my tapestry, Along the rutted road, He sat down on a river rock And turned into a toad. It seemed that he had fallen Into someone's wicked spell And I wept to see him suffer, Though I didn't know him well. As I watched in sorrow, There suddenly appeared A figure gray and ghostly Beneath a flowing beard. In times of deepest darkness I've seen him dressed in black. Now my tapestry's unraveling; He's come to take me back. He's come to take me back
Looking out on the morning rain I used to feel uninspired And when I knew I had to face another day Lord, it made me feel so tired Before the day I met you, life was so unkind But your love was the key to peace my mind
Cause you make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel like A natural woman
When my soul was in the lost-and-found You came along to claim it I didn't know just what was wrong with me Till your kiss helped me name it Now I'm no longer doubtful of what I'm living for Cause if I make you happy I don't need no more
Cause you make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel like A natural woman
Oh, baby, what you've done to me You make me feel so good inside And I just want to be close to you You make me fell so alive Cause you make me feel, you make me feel, you make me feel like A natural woman
River wind is icy Chills run through my bones Tides of life are ebbing out Between the cobblestones The streets are on fire With the burning sunrise And over the water I look in vain For love in someone's eyes
CHORUS: Oh, City streets The stories that they tell Oh, City streets They can be heaven, they can be hell
Winter colored morning Gray and dirty brown Reflecting the mood I'm in Despair is all around I long for sweet oblivion To take me from my pain Maybe bring me dreams of hope and faith So, I can break this chain
CHORUS
Lovers with their arms entwined Silhouettes against the light A warm bed is waiting as they head home After staying up all night For them the city is magic That's all they've ever known I wish I could find the magic But I'm scared and I'm feeling so alone
CHORUS
Oh, City streets, the stories thay have known iOh City Streets, City Streets, The City Streets
So you think you got the weight Of the world on your shoulders And it's getting too hard to bear You feel like you're getting older and older And nobody seems to care It isn't what you do, it's who you know Ain't that the way it is any more Makes you keep on wondering Don't it make you wonder now What are you living for
Well, it's a sweet life, baby, don't you think maybe You can give it another try It's your life, baby, but I'm not ready to say goodbye We got a sweet life, baby, why don't you take a good look around It's a sweet life, baby, don't let it get you down
Y'say you feel snowed under by circumstances You can make of it what you will You can look at the downside or take your chances And try to make it uphill Now you can't keep living inside your head In a prison cell all your own Just let yourself go, get your body out of bed You don't have to do it all alone
Well it's a sweet life, baby, don't you think maybe You can give it another try It's your life, baby, but I'm not ready to say goodbye Y'know this is real life, baby, Why don't you take another look around It's a sweet life, baby, don't let it get you down
It's a sweet life, baby, don't you think maybe
You can stop and taste the honey It's a sweet life, baby, it's all about the sugar It ain't about money
It's a sweet life, baby, don't you think maybe You can give it another try It's a sweet life, baby, and I'm not ready to say goodbye It's a sweet life, baby It's a sweet life, baby It's a sweet life, baby
Everything's lost in illusion I keep moving, but I can't seem to get out of the shadows Out into the light of day Everyone's out in the afternoon Turning their faces up to the sun like a spotlight What's wrong with me, I don't want to play
You're my obsession, I just can't get you out of my mind I look around and I see all the signs They say danger
I know you're gonna take me down to the darkness Down to the darkness Oh, but I want you to I know you're gonna take me down to the darkness Down to the darkness Oh, but you know I want you to Oh, yes I want you to
I'm afraid of the dark Oh, but I'm attracted to it I'm afraid of the dark I want to run away, but I can't do it
Through my hazy confusion I close my eyes, but your image is indelibly burned there Seared into my memory Now as I stand on the edge of the precipice Looking down into the black abyss I know I'll be lost with just one kiss But I want to be
Even as the tongues of fire lick at me from below No turning back, I just can't let go of the danger
I know you're gonna take me down I know you're gonna take me down to the darkness Oh, but I want you to I know you're gonna take me down to the darkness Oh, down to the darkness Oh, but you know I want you to Oh, yes I want you to I want you to take me down to the darkness Down, down, down to the darkness
I want to see the lovelight in your eyes I want to see the longing in your eyes When you look at me I want it to be the way it used to be I want to see the lovelight in your eyes
I want to feel the passion in your touch I want to feel the burning love I need so much When I reach for you I want you to hold me like you used to do I want to see the lovelight in your eyes I want to see the lovelight in your eyes I want to see the lovelight in your eyes I want to see the lovelight in your eyes
You used to walk with me on the street of dreams I remember you telling me You said nothing is what is seems Now as I walk alone, cold in the morning after Thoughts of you in someone else's arms In someone else's bed Explode inside my head
I want to see the lovelight in your eyes I want to see the fire back in your eyes When you look at me I want it to be the way it used to be I want to see the lovelight in your eyes I want to see the lovelight in your eyes I want to see the lovelight in your eyes I want to see the lovelight in your eyes
A candle's burning in my window And it's burning just for you I had some big plans for tomorrow But you had something else to do You came to me right out of nowhere You gave me shelter in your eyes And though you let the walls come caving in When the cold wind blew I can't stop thinking about you
You let me walk into your dream world You gave me things I couldn't steal And in the wee hours of the morning I still believe the dream was real Why did you show me all your colors When you knew that I was blind Still I keep looking for the reasons That'll see me through I can't stop thinking about you
I can't stop thinking about you I can't stop thinking about you
The night is dark, indeed Ah, but I can't hide There are voices in my house But nobody's inside I'll hit the town tonight But even if I do The party lights won't shine tonight 'Cause I can't stop thinking about you
You used to be as a child Full of hope and wonder Hey, now, do you remember those days Your mind was free and running wild Now the sound of thunder Has got you trapped in a corner hiding out You're running in a rat maze
You better think about the legacy That you want to leave behind It's all getting burnt-out, used-up Bought and sold to the bottom line That ain't the way it's gotta be You can leave a better world than you find You can look down, turn aside, run away But you can't put it out of your mind 'Cause it's your legacy
Don't it make your heart bleed Passing through the meadowland Wheel of fortune jackpot is what it looks like That's okay, go on, run your motor at high speed Rev it up to five grand Shades on, top down But as you barrel down the turnpike
You better think about the legacy That you're gonna leave behind Things are getting wasted out of hand People stealing each other blind Hey, that ain't the way it oughta be You can leave a better world than you find You can look down, turn around, run away But you can't put it out of your mind 'Cause it's your legacy
It isn't easy when you think your voice Doesn't matter to anyone Maybe you believe there's nothing you can do But if you just do nothing, you've made a choice To perpetuate the destruction Why don't you stand up, dig in When it all comes down, it's gotta begin with you It's you It's your legacy Baby, whatcha gonna do about it
You better think about the legacy That you want to leave behind Things are getting wasted, out-of-hand, burnt-out, used-up Sold to the bottom line Hey, that ain't the way it's gotta be Oh, don't you want to leave a better world than you find You can look down, turn aside, run away and hide But you can't put it out of your mind 'Cause it's your legacy Oh, your legacy
Look here It's gotta start somewhere, Jack If you don't go forward, you're gonna go back Hey, you better get a plan of attack 'Cause that's the only way that you're gonna keep track Of your legacy
Ain't that the way Whenever you think you've got it made Everything changes on you Ain't that the way Nothing is stranger than the truth And how it comes to you Ain't that the way
In this life we are living Moment to moment, day by day And through all our tribulations We reach out for each other And if we're lucky, someone cares enough to say
Ain't that the way Whenever you think you're in control Everything turns around Ain't that the way One day you're flying Next day you're on the ground Ain't that the way
So it goes You never know what's gonna happen You never know, but something always does And sometimes in quiet desperation You realize it's never gonna be the way it was
Ain't that the way Whenever you think you've got it all There's a wall in front of you Ain't that the way You gotta go through it, it's life And it's all okay Ain't that the way
