Son Of A Poor Man

Hometown lady, leavin for the city
Bags in hand, shes boardin the train
Her last look through the window, I saw her eyes were as red as mine
I waved goodbye but I cant believe shes leaving.
But a woman cant be high-class
In a lonely farmers town
And the son of a poor man
Aint gonna turn your head around
But if you ever get lonely
Just pick up the telephone
And the son of a poor man will bring you home.
Maybe soon Ill see her on some television show
Painted lips and fingers singing for the world
A fashion plate for sure dancin for your plastic world
Call me up if you can but if not well Ill understand
But a woman cant be high-class
In a lonely farmers town
And the son of a poor man
Aint gonna turn your head around
But if you ever get lonely

After Tonight

Staring up at the moonlight
Looking up at the stars
Im alone and I just want to be with you
But I dont know where you are
Maybe I took you for granted
So blind, I let your love slip away
Now Im missing you so much I cant stand it
Please believe me when I say,
After tonight, I never will be the same again
This time Im sure that nothing means more
Than giving you all the love I can
After tonight I promise, Im gonna be a better man
Just hold me tight, and Ill be all right
After tonight
Anticipating the moment
When I can make love with you again
Patience is a virtue Im finding
Very hard to understand
After tonight, I will never be the same again
This time Im sure that nothing means more

Any Kind Of Love

Well if youre ever in a tight spot,
And all the things around you are gettin hot,
Come to me and I can cool you off.
And if you ever get yourself in a jam,
And if you ever feel you need to find a man
Call my number and, darling, you found one
But I know now, it can never work out
The way I really wished that it would.
But a second-hand love is better than no love at all
And the walls get a little closer,
And my throat gets a little tighter when
I say to you that a second-hand love from you is better than no love at all
Any kind of love from you is better than no love at all
If you got the feeling it aint right tonight
And if the fire at home aint as hot as you like
Ive got a fire thats burning for you.
And if you ever feel you need to get away
To get away from the rest of your life,
Ill come a-runnin and show you the world.

Accidents Can Happen

Theres a side of you, could bring on homicide
But livin in a cell changes my view
Maybe your automobile could lose its right front wheel
It happens every day, it could be you
Look back over your shoulder, when you think youre alone, youre not
Each noise, every shadow, look out!
Chorus:
Accidents can happen, its always in the news
Accidents can happen to you
You read it in the paper, you see it on the tube
Accidents can happen
To you
A little haitian doll, that looks a lot like you do
A little powdered poison in your tea
Electricity, invisible to see, Id like to introduce you to mr. e
A malfunction, who would notice, machines and things get hot
A permanent vacation can be bought
Chorus - look out!
(solo)
Accidents can happen, accidents can happen, accidents can happen to you

Building The Bridge

Father to son, husband to wife
Brother to brother, black man to white
Living together, falling apart
Looking for the common ground in every human heart
It all comes down to the two of us
Yeah this is where we start
We are building the bridge
One small stone at a time
With a lot of love
And some help from above
From your heart to mine
Theres a land of justice, cities filled with pride
A mountain of hope, just on the other side
Across a river of indifference, and a valley of despair
Theres a tower of courage, piercing through the air
I have a dream for our children, I want to take them there
And we are building the bridge
One small stone at a time
With a lot of love
And some help from above

The Heart Survives

When she turned away, you know it was just in time
Cause Id used up all my strength
And you cant let a woman see you cryin
And you know its real
Shes not gonna change her mind
You choose not to change your ways
Though she begged you a thousand times
And you dont understand
And you want to be a man about it
In time youll learn to live without it
And you know that youll survive
But still sometimes you doubt it
If you can stand a little rain
Youre gonna grow again
Cause you know that when love dies
The heart survives
Your stare at the empty walls
Inside of this vacant home
You walk through these hollow halls
And at night you sleep alone

Thru The Window

Thru the window, I slip away
Into the darkness, time has come
I must use caution, summer nights are here, Ill race for the shadows, Ill make a trail
No one can follow, and all I feel
Is the breeze rushin by my face
Runnin free thru the night in the street
Like it best when I feel the heat
I know my babys waitin just for me
Creepin, thru her neighborhood
I hope nobody, has seen or heard
My intentions, are driven by this flame inside
I see her light on, her silhouettes
In the window, shes waiting for
My arrival, on this summer night
Runnin free thru the night in the street
Like it best when I feel the heat
Runnin free thru the night in the street
I know my babys waiting just for me
Runnin free thru the night in the street
I like it best when I fell the heat, oh yeah

Ill Follow You

Late one night on a road in texas
I pulled into an all-night cafe
Whats my pleasure? well maam the fact is, I dont know
Sat down next to a rajun cajun
A black haired beauty from new orleans
Did my duty can I buy you a drink dear
She said please
Bridge
(so) we rolled right along,
And the night got long
So I said how would you like it to be?
Then she sang her song
Said if I come along
You must find a place in your heart for me
I was lost on a road to nowhere
And asked if she was goin my way
She was late for a date with no one
(so) please dont leave
Shed just left a love that was dying
And had no plans of goin back

Sophisticated Lady

Sophisticated lady tryn to change my ways
Just because youre caught in your social maze.
I think its about time that you realize
Your money and your powers got you mesmerized.
Pretty lady.
Get back.
Pretty lady.
Sophisticated lady put your blue jeans on,
Youre anybodys baby when your mamas gone.
Educated lady with your college degree,
Amazes me why you just cant see.
Learned evrything from your books on the shelf,
But no one ever taught you how to think for yourself.
Pretty lady.
Get back.
Pretty lady.
Sophisticated lady put your blue jeans on,
Youre anybodys baby when your mamas gone.
Sophisticated lady , take a lesson from me,
I can help you be what you want to be.

Runnin Blind

First you say one thing then you say another.
I dont know the difference, were you lyin to me baby?
But it seems to me you got yourself in a bind.
Always on the road playin your guitar.
Leaving me at home for cryin out loud.
Wish you could see babe that youre runnin blind, yeah!
Change is comin no more runnin
Change is comin no more runnin
Well its time for you to play all that you can say
Is get out of my way. dont be in the way
Always hear you screamin
I know youre just dreamin of leavin it all behind.
Hands keep goin up and down
Eyes are turnin around and around
Your goin crazy and nobody minds
Change is comin no more runnin
Change is comin no more runnin
Change is comin no more runnin
Change is comin no more runnin
Oooooo! you cant go on runnin blind!
