I Was Only Telling A Lie

Got the one room suite in the downtown motel
Got a lovely view
Classic shot of the parking lot
An off ramp of route 72
Half flat six pack of lukewarm beer
So lay down by my side
Like to whisper sweet nothings in my filthy ear
til Im satisfied
Baby-bootie, juicy-fruity, truck-stop cutie, roadside-beauty
Im in love with you
Hope it dont last too long
You got the mackerel eyes
Brought the side of fries
You got me hypnotized
Im in love again
Now baby when I told you that
I love you
I was only telling a lie
Ill be long gone come the crack of dawn
And I believe the word is

Steamroller Blues

James Taylor
Well, I'm a steamroller, baby
I'm bound to roll all over you
Yes, I'm a steamroller now, baby
I'm bound to roll all over you
I'm gonna inject your soul with some sweet rock 'n roll
And shoot you full of rhythm and blues
Well, I'm a cement mixer
A churning urn of burning funk
Yes, I'm a cement mixer for you, baby
A churning urn of burning funk
Well, I'm a demolition derby (yeah)
A hefty hunk of steaming junk
Now, I'm a napalm bomb, baby
Just guaranteed to blow your mind
Yeah, I'm a napalm bomb for you, baby
Oh, guaranteed, just guaranteed to blow your mind
And if I can't have your love for my own (now)
Sweet child, won't be nothing left behind
It seems how lately, baby

Baby Buffalo

Are you there?
Can you hear me?
Somewhere near me
In the morning long ago
Had to hold you so close
Had to never let go
Time on the river
Sliding on by
Hard to believe
Wink of an eye
Whered you go baby buffalo?
Whats become of old cotton eyed joe?
Hold up, lying low
Long gone coma a summertime snow
Talk to your doctor
Making her rounds
Ninety-six tear
One thousand clowns
There they are
Shining bright

Long Ago And Far Away

Long ago a young man sits and plays his waiting game
But things are not the same it seems as in such tender dreams
Slowly passing sailing ships and Sunday afternoon
Like people on the moon I see are things not meant to be
Where do those golden rainbows end?
Why is this song so sad?
Dreaming the dreams I've dreamed my friend
Loving the love I love
To love is just a word I've heard when things are being said
Stories my poor head has told me cannot stand the cold
And in between what might have been and what has come to pass
A misbegotten guess alas and bits of broken glass
Where do your golden rainbows end?
Why is this song I sing so sad?
Dreaming the dreams I dream my friend
Loving the love I love to love to love to love

Riding On A Railroad

We are riding on a railroad, singing some elses song
Forever standing by the cross road. take a side and step along.
We are sailing away on a river to the sea. maybe you an me can meet again.
We are riding on a railroad, singing someone elses song sing along.
Time to time I tire of the life that Ive been leading
Town to town, day by day
Theres a man up here who claims to have his hands upon the reins.
There are chains upon his hands and hes riding upon a train.
We are riding on a railroad, singing some elses song
Forever standing by the cross road. take a side and step along.
We are sailing away on a river to the sea. maybe you an me can meet again.
We are riding on a railroad, singing someone elses song.

Dont Let Me Be Lonely Tonight

Do me wrong, do me right,
Tell me lies but hold me tight,
Save your goodbyes for the morning light,
But dont let me be lonely tonight.
Say goodbye and say hello,
Sure enough good to see you, but its time to go,
Dont say yes but please dont say no,
I dont want to be lonely tonight.
Go away then, damn you,
Go on and do as you please,
You aint gonna see me gettin down on my knees.
Im undecided, and your hearts been divided,
Youve been turning my world upside down.
Do me wrong, do me right (right now baby),
Go on and tell me lies but hold me tight.
Save your goodbyes for the morning light (morning light),
But dont let me be lonely tonight.
I dont want to be lonely tonight.
No, no, I dont want to be lonely tonight.
I dont want to be lonely tonight.

Circle Round The Sun

Now, I love my baby
And shes bound to love me some
Yes, I love my baby
And shes bound to love me some
Now, she throws her arms around me
Like a circle around the sun
I lay down last night, lord
Just to try to take my rest
I lay down last night, lord
I was trying to take my rest
But my thoughts they just kept wandering
Like the wild geese in the west
Now I know that sunrise, sunrise
Its gonna shine in my back yard someday
I said I know that sunrise, sunrise, sunrise
Its gonna shine in my back yard someday
And that wind just bound to rise up
Gonna blow, blow all my blues away
Hey, I love my baby
And shes bound to love me some

Someone

Someone
Im searching for someone wholl be true
Wholl change my life of blue
Into a dream of golden rainbows
Where are you?
I seems Ive been searching
Searching more than just one lifetime
My heart is a magnet all for you
Ill know you when I see you
Within my heart is carved a sculpture of your love
Life is worth less than nothing without love
Love is the force from which all beings live
Dont you see, its the purpose of living to love and be loved
Again and again
Where are you
My heart cries for you
My eyes long to see you
My soul is all for you
Oh where are you, someone?
Dont you see, its the purpose of living to love and be loved

Daddys All Gone

I dont have much to say
Thought Id call you up anyway
Just to try to show you the way
That I feel today
Oh, I miss you, baby
I sure am on the road
I dont need to say much more
Just the same old well-known stranger
That I was before
It seems like yesterday now
Daddys all gone
Only half way home
Hes holding on to the telephone
Saying, please, dont let the show go on
Theres a bus every other hour
Theres even the midnight train
But that dont leave me the power
To see your face again
Its not that simple
You see, theres a room full of smiling faces
