I Love L. A.
Hate new york city
Its cold and its damp
And all the people dressed like monkeys
Lets leave chicago to the eskimos
That towns a little too rugged
For you and me, you bad girl
Rollin down the imperial highway
With a big nasty redhead at my side
Santa ana wind blowin hot from the north
And we was born to ride
Roll down the window, put down the top
Crank up the beach boys, baby
Dont let the music stop
Were gonna ride it till we just cant ride it no more
From the south bay to the valley
From the west side to the east side
Everybodys very happy
cause the sun is shining all the time
Looks like another perfect day
I love l.a. (we love it)

Red Bandana
Left los angeles a short while ago
Flew cross the country back to buffalo
Walked around through the sleet and the snow
With a red bandana on my head
Saw my momma on 12th and grand
Standing in the alley with the junkyard man
They were both so loaded they could hardly stand
Talkin bout going to mexico
I said momma I was born
Out there I was born again
Been clear to california and back
Was out there so long many times I thought I was dead
She said, sonny whats that you got wrapped around your head?
Its a red bandana
Its a red bandana
Its a red bandana
Its from hollywood usa
Looked for the woman I used to love
Seen her in a bar off the harlem road
Talking in a booth with charley hobbs

Love Story
I like your mother
I like your brother
I like you
And you like me too
Well get a preacher
Ill buy a ring
Well hire a band
With an accordion
A violin
And a tenor who can sing
You and me you and me, baby
You and me you and me you and me, baby
You and me you and me you and me, baby
You and me you and me you and me, baby
Well have a kid
Or maybe well rent one
Hes got to be straight
We dont want a bent one
Hell drink his baby brew
From a big brass cup

The One You Love
Iii probably get accused of misogyny for this one, but I dont really consider that me in the song. this guys going on about how women are so changeable, and hes frightened of some little gir
Can relate to it, though. my wife and I had a turbulent courtship, and she scared me half the time. Id talk to her on the phone, and maybe when she hung up shed say, okay, bye. and
Think, uh-oh - it was a bad goodbye. I was like 48 years old or something, and a bad goodbye would just kill me.
The whole thing is trying to anticipate another persons needs, and feeling so superior if you can do it - feeling so smart because you know what this person is thinking. because sometimes
E dont tell you whats bothering them. but maybe thats because they dont want you to solve them. Ive had more fights with women that start with her saying, whats wrong? &qu
Nd I say, nothing. but she keeps asking me until I say, something is going to be wrong if you keep asking me whats wrong. you can drive each other crazy - its definitel
Ther variety of bad love.

I Gotta Be Your Man
Let me be your lover boy
Just wanna hold your hand
Something we might both enjoy
Can you understand
Now I been waitin' for a long time
For you to tell me that you'd be mine
And honey I'm doin' the best I can
But I got to be your man
I got to be your man
I got to
That great big moon that shines
Down in the sky above
Remindin' me of love baby
Whoa, I'm really gonna give it to ya
And in our solitude
I hold you in my arms
Captivated by your charms
Whoa
Whoa, now you're gonna get it
When the mornin' sun comes up

Feels Like Home
something in your eyes
makes me wanna lose myself
makes me wanna lose myself
in your heart
something in your voice
makes my heart beat fast
hope this feeling will last
the rest of my life
if you knew
how lonely my life has been
and how low i've felt for so long
if you knew
i wanted someone to some along
and change my world
the way you've done
it feels like home
feels like home to me
feels like i'm on my way back
where i come from
feels like home

I Want You To Hurt Like I Do
I ran out on my children
And I ran out on my wife
Gonna run out on you too, baby
I done it all my life
Everybody cried the night I left
Well, almost everybody did
My little boy just hung his head
And I put my arm, put my arm around his little shoulder
And this is what I said:
Sonny I just want you to hurt like I do
I just want you to hurt like I do
I just want you to hurt like I do
Honest I do, honest I do, honest I do
If I had one wish
One dream I knew would come true
Id want to speak to all the people of the world
Id get up there, Id get up there on that platform
First Id sing a song or two you know I would
Then Ill tell you what Id do
Id talk to the people and Id say

Four Eyes
One september morning when I was five
My daddy said, son, rise from your bed.
I thought, I must be dreaming, its still dark outside
He said, son if you fall behind youll never get ahead
Heres your little brown cowboy shirt, put it on
Heres your little brown cowboy pants, put em on
Heres your little brown shoes, can you tie them yourself?
Get into the car, were gone!
We drove, it seemed like forever,
Further than Id ever been away from home
Then my daddy stopped the car, and he turned to me
He said, son its time to make us proud of you,
Its time to do whats right
Gonna have to learn to work hard
I said, work? what are you talking about?
Youre not gonna leave me here, are you?
He said yes I am!
And drove off into the morning light
For a while I stood there, on the sidewalk
A roy rogers lunch pail in my hand

Strange Things
I was on top of the world
It was right in my pocket
I was livin' the life
Things were just the way they should be
When from out of the sky like a bomb comes some little punk in a rocket
Now all of a sudden some strange things are happenin' to me
I had friends,
I had lots of friends
Now all my friends are gone
And I'm doin' the best I can to carry on
I had power (power)
I was respected (respect)
But not any more
And I've lost the love to the one whom I adored
Let me tell you about the strange things are happenin' to me
Strange things
Strange things are happenin' to me...
Ain't no doubt about it
You got someone you think you know well
It turns out a stranger
