THAT LONG AND LONESOME OLD FREIGHT TRAIN
FROM THE MORNING MIST CAME A SOUND IN THE DISTANCE
NOTHING BUT AN OLD FREIGHT TRAIN
AND HE’S ROLLING ALONG LIKE THE RHYTHM TO THIS SONG
THAT LONG AND LONESOME OLD FREIGHT TRAIN
THAT LONG AND LONESOME OLD FREIGHT TRAIN
WHAT A FEELING IN ME WATCHING CARS FROM TENNESSEE
AND DOWN BELOW THAT DIXON LINE
THE SINGIN’ BRAKEMAN’S ON THE LOOSE,
DREAMING OUT FROM HIS CABOOSE
OF THAT LONG AND LONESOME OLD FREIGHT TRAIN
THAT LONG AND LONESOME OLD FREIGHT TRAIN
I PASSED HIM ON THE RUN ON THE WAY TO BINGHAMTON
ALLENTOWN AND PHILADELPIA-Y
ILION AND NEW YORK AND AROUND TO SPENCERPORT
CAME HOME BESIDE THAT OLD FREIGHT TRAIN
THAT LONG AND LONESOME OLD FREIGHT TRAIN
FROM THE MORNING MIST CAME A SOUND IN THE DISTANCE
NOTHING BUT AN OLD FREIGHT TRAIN
AND HE’S ROLLING ALONG LIKE THE RHYTHM TO THIS SONG
THAT LONG AND LONESOME OLD FREIGHT TRAIN
THAT LONG AND LONESOME OLD FREIGHT TRAIN

DIAMOND SHINE
SEE THAT GIRL ACROSS THE STREET
THE ONE WITH THE PRETTY SMILE
THERE WAS A TIME WHEN SHE WAS MINE,
JUST FOR A LITTLE WHILE
O BUT I WAS SUCH A FOOL,
I DIDN’T TREAT HER RIGHT
AND SOMEHOW SHE SLIPPED AWAY
BACK INTO THE NIGHT
WHEN ALL IT TAKES IS JUST A LITTLE LOVE TO MAKE A DIAMOND SHINE
TAKE ME BACK TO A BETTER WORLD, WHEN HER LOVE WAS MINE
AT THE TIME I GUESS I THOUGHT THAT I WAS PRETTY SMART
CUZ I DIDN’T CARE ABOUT THE WAY I BROKE HER HEART
THEN ANOTHER CAME ALONG AND SAW THE BEST IN HER
AND THEY LEFT ME ON MY OWN TO SEE HOW MUCH IT HURTS
ALL IT TAKES IS JUST A LITTLE LOVE TO MAKE A DIAMOND SHINE
TAKE ME BACK TO A BETTER WORLD, WHEN HER LOVE WAS MINE
SOME WOULD SAY SHE’S JUST A LUMP OF COAL
HER SPARKLE’S HARD TO SEE
BUT I KNOW SHE USED TO SHINE, THAT WAY,
SOMETIMES FOR ME
ALL IT TAKES IS JUST A LITTLE LOVE TO MAKE A DIAMOND SHINE
TAKE ME BACK TO A BETTER WORLD, WHEN HER LOVE WAS MINE

SILVER MACLEAN
ROUND HERE YOU MIGHT HEAR A STORY
OF A MAN NAMED SILVER MACLEAN
THEY SAY THAT HE FOUND A LOST GOLD MINE
AND DIED WITHOUT STAKING A CLAIM
NOW SILVER AND ME ONCE WAS PARTNERS
WE KNEW EVERY CANYON AND DRAW
ONE DAY WE STUMBLED ON THAT OLD MINE
MORE GOLD THAN YOU EVER SAW
THAT GOLD MINE WAS HID BY A BOULDER
LOOKED JUST LIKE A TOMBSTONE
IN LEGEND THERE’S A CURSE ON THAT TOMBSTONE
THAT’S WORSE THAN THE FEVERISH MADNESS OF ITS GOLD
SOME SAY THAT SILVER WAS MURDERED
ON THE NIGHT THAT HE DISAPPEARED
BUT SILVER SWORE ME TO SILENCE
HIS FEVER WAS MUCH STRONGER THAN FEAR
EVERY NIGHT HE RIDES, SEARCHING AGAIN
FOR THAT LOST TOMBSTONE MINE WE ONCE FOUND
BUT HE’S SEARCHING IN VAIN
WITH A HEART OF STEEL AND A BURNING BREATH
HE FOLLOWS ME RIGHT TO MY DEATH
I’M THE ONE THAT KNOWS THE SCORE
I KNOW WHAT HE’S SEARCHING FOR
TONIGHT DOWN HERE IN THE VALLEY
THE PRISONER WAITS FOR AN OLD FRIEND
AND A PROMISE HE SWORE HE WOULD KEEP
TOMORROW AT DAYBREAK THEY HANG ME
BUT BEFORE THEY AWAKE I’LL BE GONE
WITH SILVER MY FRIEND I WILL RIDE ONCE AGAIN
INTO THAT COLD HEARTED DAWN
EVERY NIGHT HE RIDES, SEARCHING AGAIN
FOR THAT LOST TOMBSTONE MINE WE ONCE FOUND
BUT HE’S SEARCHING IN VAIN
WITH A HEART OF STEEL AND A BURNING BREATH
HE FOLLOWS ME RIGHT TO MY DEATH
I’M THE ONE THAT KNOWS THE SCORE
I KNOW WHAT HE’S SEARCHING FOR
WITH HIS HEART OF STEEL

WHAT IF FRANKIE DOESN’T LIKE IT ?
They were sitting in a restaurant, acting like two debutantes
Two big and swarthy guys with evil little eyes
Staring down their chins
Now it seems they liked the boss a lot
But they’ve been too free with what he’s got
Playing bigshots for their friends
Hey, the party never ends
Now there’s nothing left to divvy up
What if Frankie doesn’t like it
Well he’ll push us both outside
Take us for a ride
If Frankie doesn’t like it
If Frankie doesn’t like it, oh I’ve heard some stories
And they really give me the blues
Frankie doesn’t like it
He’ll take us swimming, and buy us a brand new pair of shoes
Frankie doesn’t like it, well there’ll be no laughing
Thre’ll be no songs today
Frankie doesn’t like it, well we’ve had our fun
Now we’r gonna have to pay
If Frankie doesn’t like it, oh I’ve heard some stories
And they really give me the blues
Frankie doesn’t like it
He’ll take us swimming, and buy us a brand new pair of shoes
Frankie doesn’t like it, well there’ll be no laughing
Thre’ll be no songs today
Frankie doesn’t like it, well we’ve had our fun
Now we’e gonna have to pay
Now he’s gonna have to put us on ice
If Frankie doesn’t like it
Well the curtains are gonna come down
When Frankie comes to town

COME ALONG CARMELITA
Come along Carmelita, salvation is tearing your heart off
Take a hand and beware, there is ice in the air
And your friends are all waiting to see
How you’ve grown Carmelita
I heard of, in rhythm, your brown eyes
Yes and tricks in the long grass that fix to your terrace in time
And if the wind in the windows
Should make your line leave for the forest
There is no harm I’ve found if you live in the ground
There will only be fresh mountain dreams to dream

NOWHERE TOWN
Living in this nowhere town
Can't be sure the world goes 'round
Far as I can see it's standing still
Time flies, the days drag on
Pretty soon a year is gone
It's a crime when life is only time to kill
Downtown, fill 'er up, Cigarettes and coffee cups
Wishin' I had someplace else to be
Billboards and magazines
Photographs and fantasies
Of some far-off world that I might never see
Livin' down this nowhere town, Dying to get away
Hangin' 'round, nowhere bound
Scared I might just stay
People in a nowhere town
They grow up and settle down
They're about as nice as they can be
Guess they've got a different dream
And to them it's everything
But it don't do much for me
Livin' down this nowhere town, Dying to get away
Hangin' 'round, nowhere bound
Scared I might just stay
I'll find a better life someday
Everything will go my way
Hey I'm gonna be...Somewhere living free...

MEXICAN TOWN
AMONG THE BURNED OUT BUILDINGS SCATTERED AROUND
THERES IS ONE SPARKLING JEWEL THAT SHINES IN THE CROWN
OF A CITY ONCE GREAT THE ENVY OF THE WORLD
BUT THE GREATEST TREASURE OF ALL IS THE LOVE OF A GIRL
THIS IS THE WAY IT WENT DOWN IN MEXICAN TOWN
YES THIS IS THE WAY IT WENT DOWN IN MEXICAN TOWN
I WAS SO BLUE I COULDN’T SEE THE STARS IN THE SKY..
THEY WERE HIDDEN FROM VIEW BY THE TEARS IN MY EYES
AND LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT JUST A FEW FEET AWAY
WAS A GIRL WITH A LOVE THAT WOULD SAVE ME ONE DAY
THIS IS THE WAY IT WENT DOWN IN MEXICAN TOWN
THE GAY SENORITAS
SMILING SO SWEETLY
WE DANCED THE NIGHT AWAY
SHE WAS A BEAUTY AND WHEN SHE CAME TO ME
I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY
THIS IS THE WAY IT WENT DOWN IN MEXICAN TOWN

WHISKY TRAIN
He’s sitting alone, drinking again
Taking a ride on that old whiskey train.
He stumbles on board well before noon
And settles down to wait for the moon
For a trip that takes
'Til the rising of the moon
He never forgets the horrors he’s seen
Or the images left from places he’s been
Or all of the things that he had to do
When he was a soldier fighting for you
His hands were steady and his eyes were fine
When he took his place at the front of the line
He could wait4hours then strike like a viper
Courage and nerve were the pride of a sniper
But his ticket was punched in that foreign land
Now His day is complete with a bottle in hand
The whiskey will push the memories aside
And give him a space were it’s easy to hide
To those who don’t know him he’s only a drunk
A useless old man, down on his luck
They can’t imagine his sorrow and pain
Or the reason he rides that old whiskey train

LIVE FOR TODAY
I WOKE UP THIS MORNING AND THOUGHT TO MYSELF
IT’S TIME TO STOP LEAVING MY DREAMS ON THE SHELF
SO I PACKED IN MY JOB AND I PICKED UP MY PAY
TO HELL WITH TOMORROW, GONNA LIVE FOR TODAY
SO I’LL EAT WHEN I’M HUNGRY, DRINK WHEN I’M DRY
I WON’T LET TODAY GO PASSING ME BY
THE PAST IS A MEMORY, THE FUTURE’S A DREAM
TODAY IS FOR LIVING, IT’S PEACHES AND CREAM
LIVE FOR TODAY LIVE FOR TODAY
TO HELL WITH TOMORROW IT’S ONE DAY AWAY
I’LL FOLLOW MY HEART AND DO WHAT I MAY
AND TO HELL WITH TOMORROW GONNA LIVE 4 TODAY
WE DON;T KNOW THE FUTURE, CAN’T CHANGE THE PAST
TODAY IS THE DAY THAT MIGHT BE OUR LAST
WE MAY MAKE MISTAKES AND HEAD THE WRONG WAY
BUT WE’LL FIND OUT TMORROW WHER WE GONE ASTRAY
LIVE FOR TODAY LIVE FOR TODAY
TO HELL WITH TOMORROW IT’S ONE DAY AWAY
I’LL FOLLOW MY HEART AND DO WHAT I MAY
AND TO HELL WITH TOMORROW
GONNA LIVE FOR TODAY
I’LL FOLLOW MY HEART AND DO WHAT I MAY
AND TO HELL WITH TOMORROW
GONNA LIVE FOR TODAY

SALLY’S WALTZ
The blue of her dress matched the blue of his eyes
The shine of his boots matched her hair
They swayed to the music, wrapped up in love
Like they were the only ones there
His heart was so heavy while hers was so gay
He had orders to leave with the dawn
While she dreamed of marriage
He was marching away
And when she awoke he was gone
Now Sally is waltzing alone in her room
With all of the shades pulled down
And nothing's as lonely as dancing alone
With only a memory to hold
With only a memory to hold
The bullet that took him went straight through her heart
It tore her young world apart
She's lost her mind now, and just like a child
For years she's been dancing alone
Now Sally is waltzing alone in her room
With all of the shades pulled down
And nothing's as lonely as dancing alone
With only a memory to hold
With only a memory to hold
With only his memory to hold

I’M A CADILLAC
I’M A CADILLAC, MAKE WAY FOR ME JACK
I’M THE KING OF THE OPEN ROAD
EVERYONE ADMIRES MY WHITE WALL TIRES,
EVERYWHERE I GO
THERES A LINE OF GIRLS LETTING DOWN THEIR CURLS
BEGGING ME TO TAKE THEM HOME
AND EVERYONE LOOKS UP FROM THEIR COFFEE CUP
WHEN I START TO ROLL..I’M A CADILLAC..I’M A CADILLAC
I’M A CADILLAC, LONG AND BLACK
MY TRIM IS SOLID CHROME
I GO ANYWHERE AND ALL THE PEOPLE STARE
THE GIRLS CAN’T LEAVE ME ALONE
I’M ALL SPARKLE AND SHINE
LIKE A CHAMPAGNE GOOD TIME
AND THERE AIN’T NOTHING SO FINE
AS A REAL HIGH-TONE CADILLAC BROUGHAM
EL DORADO..I’M A CADILLAC, I’M A CADILLAC
IN MY CADILLAC, I’VE GOT SOMETHING YOU LACK
IN YOUR LINCOLN, T-BIRD OR ROLLS
AS FOR CRUISING SPEED, I’VE GOT ALL THAT YOU NEED
YOU HAVE MY GUARANTEE
I CAN HEAR YOU SIGH AND THE LOOK IN YOUR EYES
SAYS YOU WANTA COME INSIDE
WELL COME ON IN, IT’S NO SIN
I’M BEYOND YOUR WILD DESIRES
CUZ I’M A CADILLAC
I’M A CADILLAC..I’M A CADILLAC

WHO DO YOU THINK I SAW TODAY
DOWN BY THE RIVER WHERE THE CATFISH PLAY
CALAMITY JANE AND BUFFALO BILL
TELL YOU MAN IT WAS QUITE A THRILL
HE SAID HEY THERE PRETTY VALENTINE..
SHOW ME YOURS, I’LL SHOW YOU MINE
I NEED ONE MORE GLASS OF YOUR SWEET WINE
NOW ROLL THOSE DICE ONE MORE TIME
IN THE SAME OLD GAME
THE SAME OLD GAME
THE SAME OLD GAME SINCE TIME BEGAN
CLEOPATRA AND BABY TOO
WHY USE YOUR ASP WHEN A KISS WILL DO
CLEO AND THE KING OF FRANCE
PLAYED A GAME WITHOUT SILK PANTS
WHY THEY WANT TO DO THAT FOR
ITS ALL PART OF LOVE AND WAR
TRIED TO EVEN UP THE SCORE
AND FORGOT WHAT THEY WERE FIGHTIN FOR
IN THE SAME OLD GAME
THE SAME OLD GAME
THE SAME OLD GAME SINCE TIME BEGAN
EVERYBODY WANTS WHAT THEY CAN'T HAVE
FIGHT FOR GOOD 'TIL IT ALL GOES BAD
NOBODY KNOWS WHY THINGS WENT WRONG
BUT IT ALL WORKS OUT WHEN THE FEELING’S STRONG
IN THE SAME OLD GAME
THE SAME OLD GAME
THE SAME OLD GAME SINCE TIME BEGAN
