Earth Blues

Well, I see hands and attesting faces
Reachin’ up but not quite touching the promised land
Well, I taste tears and a whole lot of previous years wasted
Saying ‘lord please give us a helping hand’
Lord lord lord
Lord, there’s got to be some changes
Lord lord lord
Gonna be a whole lot of re-arranges

Lord lord lord
You better hope love is the answer
Lord lord lord
Yeah, it better come before the summer

Well, everybody can hear the sound of freedom’s beating heart
Sirens flashing with earth and rockets stoning
You better love me like it’s gonna be the last time
And tell the child to bury daddy’s old clothes
Love love love
Yeah, they’re talking about getting together, yeah
Love love love
Together for love love love
Love love love
You better hope love is the answer baby
I think you better hope it comes before the summer

Everybody
Everybody
Everybody
Every sister
Everybody
Every mother
Everybody
To feel the light
Everybody
It’s shining bright baby
Everybody
Everybody, we got to live together, oh
Right on baby
Feel those earth blues coming at you baby

Don’t let your imagination take you by surprise
A queen and me i, one day, visualize
My head in the cloud, my feet on the pavement
Don’t get too stoned, please remember you’re a man
Love love love
Lord, there’s got to be some changes
Love love love
Living together’s gonna be a lot of re-arranges
Love love love
You better be ready, lord, my lord
Love love love
Just hope love comes before the summer

Everybody
Everybody,
Everybody
Got to feel the light
Everybody
You gotta feel the light, baby
Everybody,

Hey Baby (New Rising Sun)

So now you’ve caught on
Hey baby, where do you, comin’ from
Boy she looked at me and smiled,
And looked into space
And she said, ‘i’m comin’ from the land of new rising sun’
And I said, ‘hey, baby where you tryin’ to go to’
Then she says, ‘i’m gonna spread around peace of mind
And a whole lotta love to you and you’
Hey girl I’d like to come along
Yes, I’d love to come along
‘would you like to come along?

Straight Ahead

Hello, my friend
So happy to see you again
I was so alone
All by my self
I just couldn’t make it

Have you heard, baby
What the winds blowing round
Have you heard, baby
A whole lot of peoples coming right on down

Communication, yeah
Is coming on strong
And don’t give a damn, baby
If your hair is short or long, huh

I said, get out of your grave
Everybody is dancing in the street
Do what you know, don’t be slow
You gotta practice what you preach
‘Cause it’s time for you and me
Come to face reality (it sounds like he says “fake reality”)

Forget about the past, baby
Things ain’t what they used to be
Keep on Straight Ahead
Keep on straight Ahead

Straight Ahead, baby
Straight Ahead, baby

We got to stand side by side
We got to stand together and organize
They say power to the people,
That’s what they’re screamin’
Freedom of the soul
Pass it on, pass it on to the young and old

You got to tell the children the truth
They don’t need a whole lot of lies
Because one of these days, baby
They’ll be running things
So when you give them love
You better give it right
Woman and child and man and wife
The best love to have is the Love Of Life

Pushing on Straight Ahead
Straigh Ahead, baby

Hello my friend
It’s so good to see you again
And I’ve been all by my self
I don’t think I can make it alone
I gotta keep on pushing ahead

My Friend

Hey, look out for my glass up there, man!
That’s my drink, man, that’s my drink, alright…
Make it a double, or eh…
Somebody has to sing
Some body will sing?
Somebody will sing, right?
(I don’t know!)

Y’all pass me that bottle,
And I’ll sing you all a real song
Yeah!

Stepping Stone

I sure got the blues this morning, baby
Yeah! And I’m here to tell you about it
So you might as well pick up on it!
I’m a man
At least I’m tryin’ to be
I’ve lived before
The other half of me
I’ve lived before
That you don’t want me
But in this search
For nothing desperately
Oh, I’m tryin’ tryin’
Not to be a fool
I’m tryin’ tryin’
Lord to keep my cool, baby tryin’ so hard to keep it together

After I find, baby
That true love of mine
I’m just rollin’ screamin’
Cryin’ flyin’
Can’t be trusted, but busted
Rolling Stone

You’re a woman
At least you say you are
You’re a woman
At least you look like you are
You’re a woman
At least you taste like you are
But you can take it off
In bed with my guitar
And then you leave them
Throw me outside
To cry, cry
To the moon and the nighttime
Save my soul,
You can’t find
All you want is a ticket to ride
After you show me everything
It did prove otherwise
You just rollin’, screamin’, cryin’ good love is sometime, but can’t be trusted
Steppin’ Stone
Steppin’ Stone

Drifting

Drifting
On a sea of forgotten teardrops
On a lifeboat
Sailing for
Your love

Sailing home

Drifting
On a sea of old heartbreaks
On a lifeboat
Sailing for
Your love
Sailing home

Ezy Ryder

There goes Ezy,
Ezy Ryder
Ridin down the highway of desire
He says the free wind
takes him higher
Tryin to find his heaven above
but he’s dyin to be loved

He’s tellin me livin
is so magic
Something is forever
so he claims
He’s talkin’ bout lyin’
it’s so tragic baby
But don’t you worry bout today
we got freedom comin’ our way

How long
do you
think he is gonna last
carryin’ out on a gas

See all the others say
‘do what you please’
Gotta get the brothers together
and the right to be free
In a cloud of angel dust
I think I see me a freak
Hey motorcycle mama
you gonna marry me?

Dolly Dagger

Here comes Dolly Dagger
Her love’s so heavy, gonna make you stagger
Dolly Dagger, she drinks the blood from a jagged edge… aw, drink up baby

Been riding broomsticks since she was fifteen
Blowin’ out all the other witches on the scene
She got a bullwhip just as long as your life
Her tongue can even scratch the soul out of the devil’s wife.
