Big Song

Dinosaur Rex's
Lived in Texas
And that's a great big place
In the United States
Still they both seem small
Cause if I sang about it all
I'd need a big, big, big, big song
Big, Big, Big Song
This world goes on and on
There's a whole lot of space
Even the moon's got a face
Life's a big, big, big, big song
A Rhinoceros
A Hippopotamus
Could co-exist
In the Amazon
The river NIle
Goes on for miles
And there fish grow
Ten feet long
CHORUS
Jumbo planes
And cargo trains
Millions of cars
And tankers too!
The rockets fly
All through the sky
And orbit around the moon
CHORUS

Desert Rose

In the first dream, there’s a diamond sun with dragon clouds above your place. There’s cactus flowers, ‘n’ spring showers that match the beauty of your face. My Cleopatra dressed in gold, with heavenly visions untold. And while I sleep, the wind blows; you’re my Desert Rose
In the second dream, there’s a ruby sun, ‘n’ you’re breathing fresh sea air. You are swimmin’, ‘n’ the sky is dimmin’, 'n’ there’s sand dunes everywhere. My Cleopatra dressed in gold, with heavenly visions untold. While I sleep, the wind blows, ‘n’ you’re my desert rose
I'm called in my mind to these places, the sands a divine oasis
In the third dream, there’s a pearl sun ‘n’ I drove all day through
Tumbleweed piles that lined for miles, a mirage shaped like you
Three Dreams in the Desert, three dreams about you
My Cleopatra dressed in gold, with heavenly visions untold
Three Dreams in the Desert, three dreams of life with you
While I sleep, the wind blows, ‘N’ you’re my…, you’re my…, you’re my… desert rose

Loan Shark City

The weight is on their side
The boys they know the code
Their just working for the government
And doing what they're told
They've got to keep the people honest
Cause freedom breeds corruption
So they're out there on their audits
And there won't be any interruption
Down in Loan Shark City
Everybody wants your pay
Say In Loan Shark city
Nobody gets away
You want to buy a car
Well you're talking high finance
But you've got to have some wheels
If you want to make romance
The dealer takes you by the hand
And shows you through the lot
Then he goes and checks your credit
He wants everything you've got
Down in Loan Shark City
Everybody wants your pay
In Loan shark City Nobody gets away
You want to buy a house
The man says with a grin
Wait while I get the keys
I'll let you folks on in
Three hundred thousand dollars
But when you add in the interest
You'll pay that man three times
What is printed on that list
Down in Loan Shark City
Everybody wants your pay
In Loan Shark City
Nobody gets away
Me and my wife
Just sit and watch TV
Wondering what ever happened
Weren't we born to be free
We're so broke
and freedom costs so much
Now were working 80 hours
To pay off everything we've touched
Down in Loan Shark City
Everybody wants your pay
In Loan Shark city
Nobody gets away

Since I Met You
02:49

Finally met a woman whose soul shined through
Since I Met You
I always thought the world would go on treating me cruel,
then I met you
You take my love, but you earn it
The love you give keeps me yearning
I’m feeling better every day of my life
I’m feeling better every day and at night
I’m feeling better every day of my life
Since I Met You
I seem to have a new bounce in my step
Since I Met You
I used to dwell on the things I couldn’t get,
then I met you
You take my love but you earn it
The love you give keeps me yearning
I’m feeling better every day of my life
I’m feeling better every day and at night
I’m feeling better every day of my life
Since I Met You
Alone and scared cower inside
With you, I flower on the outside
I wasn’t trying maybe that’s what you liked
When I met you
You always left your door open at night
When I met you
You take my love but you earn it
The love you give keeps me yearning
I’m feeling better every day of my life
I’m feeling better every day and at night
I’m feeling better every day of my life
Since I Met You

I'm going to get the words right this time
I'm going to make the perfect rhyme
I dreamed this was my thousandth hit song
I'm a Weekend Warrior when it comes to this guitar
But our love can't go wrong
I won't make promises that I can't keep
Traveling that roads just not for me
I'm a Weekend Warrior when it comes to this guitar
But your love sets me free
Got my headdress on
I got my bow along
I'm going out now for the kill But I'll be back in time
I'm going to make you mine
I'm your Weekend Warrior Weekend Warrior
Weekend Warrior
I'll take any job just to be with you
I'd crawl the sewers
that's what I'd do
And if that what it takes
And that's all this Weekend Warrior makes
Your love will pull me through
Got my headdress on
I got my bow along
I'm going out now for the kill But I'll be back in time
I'm going to make you mine
I'm your Weekend Warrior Weekend Warrior
Weekend Warrior

Raining Sunshine

Sky’s been clear as long as I remember
Two July’s and one December
I’m feeling good for a long, long time
I’ve got no blues running ‘round my mind
cause it’s Raining, Sunshine
Raining Sunshine
I’ve got three kids and real good job
Been six months since my baby’s sobbed
Traded my gun for a pickup truck
Now I’m riding with “Lady Luck”
cause it’s Raining, Sunshine
Raining Sunshine
Tonight I’ll lay on these sheets ‘til morn’
I’ll let this moist air keep me warm
Trace these footprints on my heart
Back to that loving woman who made it start
Raining Sunshine
Raining Sunshine
Raining Sunshine
Raining Sunshine

Flirtatious
03:02

|
I see you in the morning
We share a smile
You ask me how I’m doing
and do it with style
I start to laugh
then you wink at me
You’ve got the eyes that could set this prisoner free
You’re so Flirtatious
My, My, My You’re so Flirtatious
And I, I, I want you
Warm days in the afternoon
we share a meal
Outside on the patio
our love is real
You tease me
and I please you
I get high watching everything you do
You’re so Flirtatious
My, My, My You’re so Flirtatious
And I, I , I want you
Sometimes I feel like a criminal
Thinking the things I do
I sit and dream that we are making love so much
That's why I go crazy with your touch
When the day is done
And you ask me where I’m going
I want to take you
Where the rivers overflowing
You’re so Flirtatious
My, My, My You’re so Flirtatious
And I, I , I want you

They Give Me Hope

Walking down Seventh Avenue
Walking to work, and I’m singing the blues
There’s a bus parked near the curb
He’s been there for weeks
There’s a guy who sleeps inside
Who kind of gives me the creeps
One time I walked by, I stopped to look inside
I’m truly amazed how that man in there survives
But He Gives Me Hope
He Gives Me Hope
He Gives Me Hope
if he can do it maybe so can I
I arrive at work sometimes a little late
There are only two people there that I hate
The lady who sits behind me
smokes three packs a day
The guy in front of me
says Jesus is the way
Sometimes I must admit we do not jive
But I’m truly amazed how those people survive and
They Give Me Hope
They Give Me Hope
They Give Me Hope
If they can do it maybe so can I
I’ve been to Minnesota, Wisconsin
down to Mexico too
I’ve got the Seattle, Vancouver
Oregon blues
Everywhere I go people ask me for change
“Can you spare a nickel or dime”
Reality is out of range
I’m truly amazed how this whole world survives but
It Gives Me Hope
It Gives Me Hope
It Gives Me Hope if it can do it, maybe so can I
Walking down Seventh Avenue
I’m walking home
but I’m still singing the blues
That factory is pumping that black old smoke
It makes me so sick I have to stop and choke
That smog’s tearing up my baby blue eyes
I’m truly amazed how this whole town survives
But it gives Me Hope
It Gives Me Hope
It Gives Me hope if it can do it, maybe so can I

Baby Boy Green did not want to grow up to be mean,
but he lived in a town where you fight to survive or go down
Baby Boy Green didn’t want to grow up to be mean
Baby Boy Green
His mama laid down and had pains for him
He was barely out of school and in jail again
Baby Boy Green did not want to grow up to be mean
Baby Boy Green
On the first of the month, there's a check in the mail
If it is on time, you can make his bail
Baby Boy Green didn't want to grow up to be mean
Baby Boy Green
It's like a movie scene
Where Dirty Harry is mean
And he's chasing Baby Boy Green
Just the other day, another mother was walking down the street,
like a moving target bound to be hit
Now she’s lying at my feet
Baby Boy Green didn’t want to grow up to be mean
Baby Boy Green
