Rio

Patrick simmons / jeffrey baxter
When things get stale
You get on a boat and sail to rio
The beaches and the sea
Thats where I long to be
In rio
But Im workin for the man every day up in the city
Got to get away on a boat around the corner
And its waiting there for you and me
In rio
Dark eyed lady
Drive mercedes everywhere
In rio
She said, do you wanna take a ride?
So I jumped right in beside her
In rio
But Im workin for the man every day up in the city
Got to get away on a boat around the corner
And its waiting there for you and me
In rio

Eyes Of Silver

Tom johnston
Eyes of silver hungry and aware
Eyes of silver, your mystic love I share
cause Im hungry baby
For the love you give away
Kick out all that stupid pride
Thats standin in my way
Inside my loving eyes are open wide
Eyes of silver, on which I shall rely
Diamonds are forever, and gold can make you lie
But your eyes of silver shine on, shine on
Blades of steel have helped a man to conquer all
Rubies by the hundreds fill the taj mahal
Eyes of silver, you tell me what I need
To bring this cold and lonely man
Down to his bended knees
Inside my lovin arms are open wide
For you eyes of silver
On which I shall rely
Diamonds and gold make you lie, lie, lie

Need A Little Taste Of Love

M. isley/e. isley/r. isley/
R. isley/o. isley/c. jasper
Hey mister, walkin with the blues
Hey sister, payin heavy dues
Havin troubles, and it aint so hard to find
When youre ridin double, and youre runnin out of time
No need to feel, that you lack the spirit
Within the body, but its in the soul
If you wanna be loved, then let somebody hear it
Might as well face the facts, no need to be holdin back
Need a little taste of love
Hey mister, tell me how long has it been
Hey sister, so how could you pretend
Why keep the sorrow, where it dont belong
Well come tomorrow, oh help me sing the song
No need to feel, that you lack the spirit
Within the body, but its in the soul
If you wanna be loved, then let somebody hear it
Might as well face the facts, no need to be holdin back
Need a little taste of love

Music Man

Tom johnston
Its late at night
Cant go to sleep
Eyes open wide
Doin the midnight creep
Well its just a holiday
For a circus dream
cause Im a music man baby
Hangin from a wire with no net below
You know Im gonna catch you if you fall
Swirling dancers
Driftin in the night
Make you go crazy
Forget what is wrong and what is right
cause the melody gonna make you high
Float you away like a cloud in the sky
And the music man with a song for you
A sweet georgia minstrel who loves to sing the blues
Get it
Come and get it

Toulouse Street

Patrick simmons
Im walkin in shadows, I cannot see
Faces, they smile when I fall or flee
Doors without windows all shuttered tight again
I just might pass this way again
I just might pass this way again
I just might pass this way
I just might pass this way again
The night she is hot, creole girls they sing
My heart, it is pounding, my ears they ring
The spell has been cast down in new orleans again
I just might pass this way again
I just might pass this way again
I just might pass this way
I just might pass this way again
Locked in a room down in new orleans
My blood is a flowin fast
Locked in a room down in new orleans
My blood is a flowin fast
The night she is hot, creole girls they sing

Take Me In Your Arms

Eddie holland/lamont dozier/
Brian holland
I know youre leavin me behind
Im seein you darlin for the very last time
Show a little tenderness before you go
Please let me feel your embrace once more
Take me in your arms and rock me, rock me a little while
We all must feel heartache sometimes
Right now, right now Im feelin mine
Ive tried my best to be strong, but Im not able
Im like a helpless child left in a cradle
Before you leave me behind let me feel happy one more time
Take me in your arms and rock me, rock me a little while
Im losin you and my happiness
My life is so dark I must confess
Ill never, never see your smiling face no more
Ill never, never hear your knock upon my door
Before you leave me, leave me behind
Let me feel happy one more time
Take me in your arms and rock me, rock me a little while

Echoes Of Love

Patrick simmons / willie mitchell / earl randle
I hear your voice everywhere
Its echoes of love
Making me look back over my shoulder
Echoes of love are started all over
Echoes of love
Keeps on haunting
Im out of control
Keeps on burning
Echoes of love are out of control
Bringing back love I used to hold
Darlin, since you went away
Think about you every day
So many memories
Got to get the best of me
Recalling the times
I used to hold you
I just wouldnt do
What I was supposed to
Ive done things

Rockin Down The Highway

Tom johnston
Got those highway blues, cant you hear my motor runnin
Flyin down the road with my foot on the floor
All the way in town they can hear me comin
Fords about to drop, she wont do no more
And I smell my motor burnin
Underneath the hood is smoke
Cant stop, and I cant stop
Got to keep on movin or Ill lose my mind
Oh, rockin down the highway
Oh, rockin down the highway
Oh, rockin down the highway
Oh, rockin down the highway
The highway patrol got his eyes on me
I know what hes thinkin and it aint good
Im movin so fast he can barely see me
Gonna lose that man, I know I should
I gotta kick in my pedal
Make my ford move a little bit faster
Cant stop, and I cant stop

Sweet Maxine

Patrick simmons/tom johnston
She can capture your heart, when they start the music playin
Sparkle in her eyes, you better be wise or you will end up losin your mind
I said baby, pretty baby, got to get my hands on you
Somethins got a hold on
Somethins got a hold on me
Somethins got a hold on
Somethins got a hold on me
She was born with it in her soul
Lord she knows how to rock and roll
She was born with it in her soul
Lord she knows how to rock and roll
Shes the answer to a poor boys dream
Never seen such a sweet young thing
Shes a teaser, love to squeeze her
An actress from a fantasy scene
I said baby, pretty baby
Open your eyes to the truth
Somethins got a hold on
Somethins got a hold on me

Take Me To The Highway

Simmons/okerman/fedele/midnight/schwartz
Drove my car to the top of the hill
And I looked out across the town
I got the urge to move again
I guess Ill never settle down
We talked about things getting better
But they still looked the same to me
Could be a near sighted heart
Seein what it wants to see
So take me to the highway
Take me far from here
These days Im not seein anything too clear
Nothin seems to move fast enough
When time isnt on your side
Cant seem to keep the wheels in motion
No matter how hard you try
I need another point of view
Someplace Ive never seen
Keepin my eyes wide open
Goin where Ive never been
