Daddys Tune
A dirty wind blows through the sky
And the autumn leaves cut loose and fly
Leave me watching
And wishing I could follow
Though among the regrets that I cant get by
There are just one or two
Unkind things I said to you
Daddy what was I supposed to do?
I dont know why it was so hard to talk to you
I guess my anger pulled me through
No sooner had I hit the streets
When I met the fools that a young fool meets
All in search of truth and bound for glory
And listening to our own heart beats
We stood around the drum
Though its fainter now
The older I become
Living your life day after day
Soon all your plans and changes
Either fail or fade away

Take It Easy
Well Im a-running down the road trying to loosen my load
Ive got seven women on my mind
Four that want to own me, two that want to stone me
One says shes a friend of mine
Take it easy, take it easy
Dont let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Dont even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand and take it easy
Well Im a-standin on the corner in winslow, arizona
With such a fine sight to see
Its a girl, my lord, in a flatbed ford
Slowin down to take a look at me
Come on baby, dont say maybe
Ive got to know if your sweet love is gonna save me
We may lose and we may win
But we will never be here again
Open up Im climbin in to take it easy
Well Im a-running down the road trying to loosen my load
Got a world of trouble on my mind

Our Lady Of The Well
It is a dance we do in silence
Far below this morning sun
You in your life, me in mine
We have begun
Here we stand and without speaking
Draw the water from the well
And stare beyond the plains
To where the mountains lie so still
But its a long way that I have come
Across the sand to find this peace among your people in the sun
Where the families work the land as they have always done
Oh its so far the other way my countrys gone
Across my home has grown the shadow
Of a cruel and senseless hand
Though in some strong hearts
The love and truth remain
And it has taken me this distance
And a womans smile to learn
That my heart remains among them
And to them I must return

Shes A Flying Thing
Shes a flying thing that sings
With her eyes like smoky rings
The sun can feel her presence in the sky
And I think Im gonna stay
cause theres nothing in our way
And she says that she can teach me how to fly
If I could love her more
Than I have ever loved before
Then tomorrow Ill be standing at her door
And when I hear her voice
I have no other choice
Than to bend back my head and search the sky
Her hair is spun so fine
Roses fell like laughing wine
And she says that she can teach me how to fly
If I could give her all the things
Shes never had before
Then tomorrow Ill be standing at her door
To see her walking by
Is to see a windy sky

Soldier Of Plenty
God is great, God is good
He guards your neighborhood
Though its generally understood
Not quite the way you would
You try to take the slack
Stay awake and watch his back
But something happens every now and then
And someone breaks into the promised land
Ah boy boy
This world is not your toy
This world is long on hunger
This world is short on joy
A-e-i-o
You speak as if you know
Whats good for everyone
Whats good in what youve done?
Whats good about a world in which
War rages at a fever pitch
And people die for the little things
A little corn, a little beans

Baby How Long
How long did you blind me baby how long?
How long did you blind me baby how long?
With your little girl laugh and your siren song
Was I right about you girl or was I wrong?
Was I right about you lyin or was I wrong?
You had another man lovin you all along
You said baby I love you, I wouldnt trade you in if I could
You said look at me baby, if I wanted to leave you I would
Yeah you had me hangin on
Every time while you were gone
I believed you were hurryin home to me, baby
But you were never on time
How long did you lie to me baby how long?
How long did you lie to me baby how long?
With your love light shut off and your runnin light on
You said baby I love you, I wouldnt trade you in if I could
You said look at me baby, if I wanted to leave you I would
Yeah you had me hangin on
Every time while you were gone
I believed you were hurryin home to me, baby

The Only Child
Boy of mine
As your fortune comes to carry you down the line
And you watch as the changes unfold
And you sort among the stories youve been told
If some pieces of the picture are hard to find
And the answers to your questions are hard to hold
Take good care of your mother
When youre making up your mind
Should one thing or another take you from behind
Though the world may make you hard and wild
And determine how your life is styled
When youve come to feel that youre the only child
Take good care of your brother
Let the disappointments pass
Let the laughter fill your glass
Let your illusions last until they shatter
Whatever you might hope to find
Among the thoughts that crowd your mind
There wont be many that ever really matter
But take good care of your mother

Unloved
(performed by jann arden and jackson browne from her album living under june)
There will be no consolation prize
This time the bone is broken clean
No baptism, no reprise and no sweet taste of victory
All the stars have fallen from the sky
And everything else in between
Satellites have closed their eyes
The moon has gone to sleep
Unloved... unloved... unloved... unloved...
Here I am inside a hotel
Choking on a million words I said
Cigarettes have burned a hole
And dreams are drunk and penniless
Here I am inside my fathers arms
All jagged bone and whisky dry
Whisper to me sweetly now and tell me I will never die
Unloved... unloved... unloved... unloved
Here I am an empty hallway
Broken window, rainy night
I am nineteen sixty-two and I am ready for a fight

Rosie
She was standing at the load-in
When the trucks rolled up
She was sniffing all around
Like a half grown female pup
She wasnt hard to talk to
Looked like she had nowhere to go
So I gave her my pass
So she could get in and see the show
Well I sat her down right next to me
And I got her a beer
While I mixed that sound on stage
So the band could hear
The more I watched her watch them play
The less I could think of to say
And when they walked off stage
The drummer swept that girl away
But rosie youre all right -- you wear my ring
When you hold me tight -- rosie thats my thing
When you turn out the light -- Ive got to hand it to me
Looks like its me and you again tonight rosie

The Road
Highways and dancehalls
A good song takes you far
Your write about the moon
And you dream about the stars
Blues in old motel rooms
Girls in daddys car
You sing about the nights
And you laugh about the scars
Coffee in the morning cocaine afternoons
You talk about the weather
And you grin about the rooms
Phone calls long distance
To tell how youve been
Forget about the losses, you exaggerate the wins
And when you stop to let em know
Youve got it down
Its just another town along the road
The ladies come to see you
If your name still rings a bell
They give you damn near nothin
