   Blossom, smile some sunshine down my way
   Lately, I’ve been lonesome
   Blossom, it’s been much too long a day
   Seems my dreams have frozen
   Melt my cares away

   Send the sunshine down my way whenever you call my name
   I know what you mean to say to me, girl, it’s all the same

   Blossom, there’s any empty road behind
   Sit you down beside me
   Blossom, there’s a sweet dream on my mind
   There’s a song inside me
   Take these chains away

   Now, send the sunshine down my way whenever you call my name
   I know what you mean to say to me, girl, it’s all the same

   Blossom, smile some sunshine down my way
   Lately, I’ve been lonesome
   Blossom, it’s been much too long a day
   Seems my dreams have frozen
   Melt my cares away

2. So Far Away

   So far away
   Doesn’t anybody stay in one place anymore?
   It would be so fine to see your face at my door
   And it doesn’t help to know that you’re just time away

   Long ago, I reached for you and there you stood
   Holding you again could only do me good
   Oh, how I wish I could
   But you’re so far away, yeah

   One more song about movin’ along the highway
   I can’t say much of anything that’s new
   But if I could only work this life out my way
   I’d rather spend it bein’ close to you

   Really you’re so far away
   Doesn’t anybody stay in one place anymore?
   It would be so fine to see your face at my door
   And it doesn’t help to know, you’re so far away

   So far away
   Yeah, you’re so far away
   Oh yeah yeah yeah

   Travelin’ around sure gets me down and lonely
   Nothin’ else to do but close my mind
   And I sure hope the road don’t come to own me
   There’s so many dreams that I’ve yet to find

   But you’re so far away
   Doesn’t anybody stay in one place anymore?
   It would be so fine to see your face at my door
   And it doesn’t help to know you’re so far away

   You’re so far away
   Oh, you’re so far away
   You’re so far away

   Oh, I need to get in touch with you baby
   You’re so very, very, very far away
   Oh, you’re so, so far away

3. Machine Gun Kelly

   Machine Gun Kelly

   I’ll tell you about Machine Gun Kelly he rode along the outlaw trail.
   Machine Gun Kelly was a simple man but the woman was as hard as hell.
   Watch out Machine Gun, don’t let her run you round.
   Don’t let the woman put you six feet in the ground, Machine Gun.

   I’ll tell you about Katherine Kelly, tired of being such small time, now.
   Figured they’d kidnap a rich man’s son, make it in the world of crime.
   Watch out Machine Gun, don’t let her run you round.
   Don’t let the woman put you six feet in the ground, Machine Gun.

   You’d better watch out Machine Gun Kelly, careful of what you do, now.
   If you keep listening to your old lady, ain’t no telling what’ll happen to you, now,
   Machine Gun.

   The government boys they came for Machine Gun, took the poor boy away.
   Stuck him in a hole in Leavenworth prison where he lived until his dying day.

   Watch out Machine Gun, don’t let her put you down.
   Don’t let a woman make you out to be a clown, Machine Gun.
   Watch out Machine Gun.

   In my mind I’m gone to Carolina
   Can’t you see the sunshine
   Can’t you just feel the moonshine
   Ain’t it like a friend of mine
   To hit me from behind
   Oh, I’m gone to Carolina in my mind

   Karin she’s a silver sun
   You best walk her way and watch it shine
   Watch her watch the morning come
   A silver tear appearing now
   Well, I’m cryin’ ain’t I
   I’m gone to Carolina in my mind

   Ain’t no doubt in no one’s mind
   That love’s the finest thing around
   Whisper something soft and kind
   Hey, baby, the sky’s on fire
   I’m dyin’ ain’t I
   Ain’t I gone to Carolina in my mind

   In my mind I’m gone to Carolina
   Can’t you see the sunshine
   Can’t you just feel the moonshine
   Ain’t it like a friend of mine
   To hit me from behind
   Till I’m gone to Carolina in my mind

   Dark and silent late last night
   Think I might have heard the highway calling
   Geese in flight and dogs that bite
   And signs that might be omens
   Say I’m goin’, I’m goin’
   Gone to Carolina in my mind

   It’s with a holy host of others
   Standing round me
   Still I’m on the dark side of the moon
   And it looks like it goes on like this forever
   You must forgive me
   If I’m gone to Carolina in my mind

   In my mind I’m long gone to Carolina
   Can’t you see the sunshine
   I said can’t you just feel the moonshine
   Ain’t it just like a friend of mine
   To hit me from behind
   Oh, I’m gone to Carolina in my mind
   Oh, I’m gone to Carolina in my mind
   So I’m already gone
   I’m gone
   Say nice things about me
   I’m gone
   You’ll have to carry on without me
   I’m gone
   Oh, I’m gone to Carolina in my mind
   I’m gone
   Yes, I’m gone to Carolina in my mind

5. It’s Too Late

   It’s Too Late

   X

   ---

   Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
   There’s something wrong here, there can be no denying
   One of us is changing, or maybe we’ve stopped trying

   And it’s too late, baby, now it’s too late
   Though we really did try to make it
   Something inside has died and I can’t hide
   And I just can’t fake it

   It used to be so easy living here with you
   You were light and breezy and I knew just what to do
   Now you look so unhappy, and I feel like a fool

   And it’s too late, baby, now it’s too late
   Though we really did try to make it
   Something inside has died and I can’t hide
   And I just can’t fake it

   There’ll be good times again for me and you
   But we just can’t stay together, don’t you feel it too
   Still I’m glad for what we had, and how I once loved you

   But it’s too late, baby, it’s too late
   Though we really did try to make it
   Something inside has died and I can’t hide

6. Smackwater Jack

   Smackwater Jack

   Now Smackwater Jack, he bought a shotgun
   ‘Cause he was in the mood for a little confrontation
   He just let it all hang loose
   He didn’t think about the noose
   He couldn’t take no more abuse
   So he shot down the congregation

   You can’t talk to a man
   With a shotgun in his hand
   Shotgun

   Now Big Jim the chief stood for law and order
   He called for the guard to come and surround the border
   Now from his bulldog mouth
   As he led the posse south
   Came the cry, we got to ride
   Clean up the streets for our wives and our daughters

   You can’t talk to a man
   When he don’t want to understand
   No, no, no, no, no, no

   The account of the capture wasn’t in the papers
   But you know, they hanged ole Smack right then instead of later
   You know the people were quite pleased
   ‘Cause the outlaw had been seized
   And on the whole, it was a very good year
   For the undertaker

   You know, you know, you can’t talk to a man
   With a shotgun in his hand
   Shotgun in his hand

   Smackwater Jack, yeah
   Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun
   Yeah, Smackwater Jack bought a shotgun
   Smackwater Jack, yeah
   Smackwater Jack, yeah

   Talkin’ about Smackwater Jack, yeah
   Talkin’ about Smackwater Jack, oh
   Talkin’ about Jack and his shotgun,
   Talkin’ about Smack, talkin’ about Jack
   Smackwater Jack, yeah

7. Something In The Way She Moves

   Something In The Way She Moves

   X

   ---

   Well, there’s something in the way she moves
   Or looks my way or calls my name
   That seems to leave this troubled world behind
   And if I’m feeling down and blue
   Or troubled by some foolish game
   She always seems to make me change my mind

   I feel fine any time she’s around me now
   She’s around me now almost all the time
   If I’m well you can tell that she’s been with me now
   She’s been with me now quite a long, long time
   And I feel fine

   Every now and then the things I lean on
   They lose their meaning
   And I find myself careening
   Into places where I should never let me go, no

   She has the power to go where
   No one else can find me
   And to silently remind me
   Of the happiness and good times that I know
   Well, I guess I just got to know then

   It isn’t what she’s got to say
   Or how she thinks or where she’s been
   To me the words are nice the way they sound
   I like to hear them best that way
   Doesn’t much matter what they mean
   She says them mostly just to calm me down

   I feel fine any time that she’s around me now
   She’s around me now I guess just about all the time
   And if I’m well you can tell that she’s been with me now
   She’s been with me now quite a long, long time
   Yes, I feel fine

8. Will You Love Me Tomorrow

   Will You Love Me Tomorrow

   X

   ---

   Tonight you’re mine completely
   You give your love so sweetly
   Tonight the light of love is in your eyes
   But will you love me tomorrow

   Is this a lasting treasure
   Or just a moment’s pleasure
   Can I believe the magic of your sighs
   Will you still love me tomorrow

   Tonight with words unspoken
   You say that I’m the only one
   But will my heart be broken
   When the night meets the morning sun

   I’d like to know that your love
   Is love I can be sure of
   So tell me now and I won’t ask again
   Will you still love me tomorrow
   Will you still love me tomorrow
   Will you still love me tomorrow
   Will you still love me tomorrow

9. Country Road

   Country Road

   X

   ---

   Take to the highway
   Won’t you lend me your name
   Your way and my way
   Seem to be one and the same
   Mama don’t understand it
   She wants to know where I’ve been
   I’d have to be some kind of natural born fool
   To walk on the roads again

   But you know I could feel it
   Walking on a country road

   Sail on home to Jesus
   Won’t you good girls and boys
   I’m all in pieces
   You can have my choice
   ‘Cause I can see a heavenly band full of angels
   Coming just to set me free
   No, I don’t know nothing ’bout the why or when
   But I can tell you that it’s bound to be

   Just because I could feel it
   Walking on a country railroad

   Reckon my feet know where they want me to go
   Walking on a country road
   Walking on a dirt road

   So take to the highway
   Won’t you lend me your name
   Your way and my way
   Seem to be one and the same thing tonight
   Mama don’t understand it
   She wants to know where the boy’s been
   I’d have to be some kind of natural born fool
   To walk on that road again

   But you know I could feel it
   Feel it, feel it, feel it, feel it
   Walking on a country road

   Walk on down
   Walk on down
   Walk on down
   Walk on down a country road
   La, la, la
   Yeah, walk on down
   I’ll be walking on a country road
   See me walking down a country road
   Oh, yeah

10. Fire And Rain

    Fire And Rain

    X

    ---

    Just yesterday morning
    They let me know you were gone
    Suzanne, the plans we made put an end to you
    I walked out this morning
    And I wrote down this song
    Just can’t remember who to send it to

    I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain
    I’ve seen sunny days I thought they’d never end
    I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
    But I always thought I’d see you again

    Won’t you look down on me, Jesus
    You’ve got to help me to make a stand
    You just got to see me through another day
    My body’s aching
    And my time is at hand
    And I won’t make it any other way

    Oh, I have seen fire and I’ve seen rain
    I’ve seen sunny days I thought they’d never end
    I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
    But I always thought I’d see you again

    So I’ve been walking my mind to an easy time
    My back turned towards the sun
    Lord knows the cold wind blows
    It’ll turn your head around
    Well, there’s hours of time on the telephone line
    Talkin’ about things to come
    Sweet dreams and flying machines
    in pieces on the ground

    Oh, I have seen fire and I’ve seen rain
    I’ve seen sunny days I thought they’d never end
    I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
    But I always thought I’d see you somehow
    one more time again
    Thought I’d see you one more time again
    There’s just a few things coming my way
    this time around
    Thought I’d see you, thought I’d see you,
    fire and rain
    Thought I’d see you just one more time,
    Suzanne

11. Sweet Baby James

    Sweet Baby James

    There is a young cowboy lives on the range
    His horse and his cattle they’re his only companions
    He works in the saddle and he sleeps in the canyons
    Just waiting for summer his pastures to change

    Yes, and as the moon rises he sits by his fire
    Just thinking about women and glasses of beer
    And closing his eyes as the dogies retire
    He sings out a song which is soft but it’s clear
    Just as if maybe someone could hear

    He says good night all you moonlight ladies
    Rockabye sweet baby James
    Deep greens and blues for the colors I choose
    Won’t you let me go down in my dreams
    Oh, and rockabye sweet baby James

    Now the first of December it was covered with snow
    Yes, and so was the Turnpike from Stockbridge to Boston
    Oh, the Berkshires seemed dreamlike
    On account of that frosting
    With 10 miles behind me and 10,000 more to go, you know

    There’s a song that they sing when they take to the highway
    A song that they sing when they take to the sea
    A song that they sing of their home in the sky
    Maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep
    Just that singing seemed to work fine for me

    So, good night all you moonlight ladies
    Rockabye my sweet baby James
    Deep greens and blues for the colors I choose
    Won’t you let me go down in my dreams
    Oh, and rockabye my sweet baby James

    I feel the earth move under my feet
    I feel the sky tumbling down
    I feel my heart start to trembling
    Whenever you’re around

    Oh, baby, when I see your face
    Mellow as the month of May
    Oh, darling, I can’t stand it
    When you look at me that way

    I feel the earth move under my feet
    I feel the sky tumbling down
    I feel my heart start to trembling
    Whenever you’re around

    Oh, darling, when you’re near me
    And you tenderly call my name
    I know that my emotions
    Are something that I just can’t tame
    I’ve just got to have you, baby

    I feel the earth move under my feet
    I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down
    I feel the earth move under my feet
    I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down

    I just lose control
    Down to my very soul
    I get hot and cold all over

    I feel the earth move under my feet
    I feel the sky tumbling down
    Tumbling down
    Tumbling down
    Tumbling down
    Tumbling down

    When this old world starts a getting me down
    And people are just too much for me to face
    I’m gonna climb way up to the top of the stairs
    And all my cares just drift right into space

    On the roof it’s peaceful as can be
    And there the world below, it don’t bother me

    No no no

    So when I come home feeling tired and beat
    I’ll go up where the air is fresh and sweet for me now
    I’get far away from the hustling crowd
    And all that rat race noise down in the street

    Oh on the roof, that’s the only place that I know
    Look at the city baby
    Where you just have to wish to make it so
    Lets go up on my roof

    And at night the stars, they put on a show for free
    And darlin’ you can share it all with me

    Hear what I say
    Keep on tellin’ you that

    Right smack dab in the middle of town
    I’ve found a paradise just about trouble proof
    And if this old world starts a getting you down
    Well there’s room enough for two up on my roof

    Up on the roof
    Up on the roof
    Up on the roof, ohh
    Everything is alright
    Everything is alright
    Come on

    Put down what your doing tonight
    And climb up the stairs and then you’ll see me
    We got the stars up above us and the city lights below
    ohh ohhh ohhh
    Up on the roof

    We’re gonna have a good time

    You can stay as long as you like

    Only close your eyes
