Clear Water 03:03
I’ve got love in my sights I can’t do no wrong Even with you baby I'll make an exception See my soul, see my words, down in clear water See my soul, see my words, I am going to find you You know what it does to me To see you walk away It just makes me more happy That now I get to play See my soul, see my words, down in clear water See my soul, see my words, I am going to find you

Rachel 03:39
Daddy was a working man Mama was a quick, quick can-can Never had much money Always had to work for what they had On the side of the street In the back of a subway streetcar In the back of an alley Street side love Rachel was a good, good girl Always did her homework on time Never had no worries Until the day her momma and daddy died Street side love Living life on a corner store Making ends meet for her child When the boys from the city Come around they’re always real wild Street side love

Living here just outside of town There ain’t nobody else here but me A stack of papers outside But I don’t want to read In this house of blues It doesn’t matter what you do In this house of blues We’re gonna see you soon I see you standing out on the front porch Wearing that old summer time dress I guess you’re heading back to Tulsa No I think I’ll stay here and get some rest In this house of blues It doesn’t matter what you do In this house of blues We’re going to see you soon In this house of blues

America 03:12
Stop staring up at the TV Didn’t you ever learn how to read I think I’ll go back upstairs Watch your back she’s a bit too keen America In the land of the free America Don’t you want to come see Get up the record’s playing too slow I can’t wait for that summer wine Let’s meet up back at your place And go for a long, long ride America Come and lie down on my bed America Please squeeze my aching head America In the land of the free America Don’t you want to come see

When I was a young boy growing up You held me high You told me to be never sacred but brave And to never cry Oh I was scared and lonely But then I found my way You’ve never been a stranger Stuck behind those sacred walls Keep walking down that old road Don’t look down or you’ll fall The good times never seem to last that long It’s nice to know you’re not alone Sometimes we all need a little help It’s better than being on your own Oh I was scared and lonely But then I found my way You’ve never been a stranger Stuck behind those sacred walls Keep walking down that old road Don’t look down or you’ll fall You’ve never been a stranger Stuck behind those sacred walls Don’t look down or you’ll fall You’ve never been a stranger

Loving Lady 03:25
Well I’m driving back and I head out on the highway In a rust bucket made for two I don’t want to be a desperado Honey all I want is you Loving lady I’m trying to stay alive I’m gonna try to get back down to Mexico Feel that warm summer breeze I just want you to be my lucky lady Darling I just want you next to me Loving lady I’m trying to stay alive Well I’m driving back and I head out on the highway In a rust bucket made for two I don’t want to be a desperado Honey all I want is you Loving lady I’m trying to stay alive
