I told Althea I was feeling lost
Lacking in some direction
Althea told me upon scrutiny
That my back might need protection
I told Althea that treachery
Was tearing me limb from limb
Althea told me, now cool down boy
Settle back

Easy Jim

Well I'm a-running down the road trying to loosen my load
Got a world of trouble on my mind
Lookin' for a lover who won't blow my cover
She's just a little hard to find
Take it easy, take it easy
Don't let the sound of your own wheels drive you crazy
Come on baby, don't say maybe
I've got to know if your sweet love is gonna save me

I like the way your sparkling earrings lay
Against your skin so brown
And I want to sleep with you in the desert night
With a billion stars all around


'Cause I got a peaceful easy feelin'
And I know you won't let me down
'Cause I'm already standin'
On the ground

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert, you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la, la la la la, la la la, la la...

 Here we are folks
The dream we all dream of
Boy versus girl in the World Series of love
Tell me, have you got the look?

 

… You walked in, I woke up
I've never seen a pretty girl
Look so tough, baby
You got that look

Tell me just what you want me to be
One kiss and boom, you're the only one for me
So please tell me why don't you come around no more
'Cause right know I'm crying outside the door of your candy store


It just takes a little bit of this, a little bit of that
It started with a kiss, now we're up to bat
A little bit of laughs, a little bit of pain
I'm tellin' you, my babe, it's all in the game of love

To really love a woman
To understand her, you gotta know her deep inside
Hear every thought, see every dream
And give her wings when she wants to fly
Then when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms
You know you really love a woman

Girl, you really got me going
You got me so I don't know what I'm doing
Yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I can't sleep at night

Yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I don't know what I'm doing, now
Oh, yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I can't sleep at night
You really got me
You really got me
You really got me

I know you've deceived me
Now here's a surprise
I know that you have
'Cause there's magic in my eyes

I can see for miles and miles
And miles and miles and miles
Oh yeah

I work five days a week girl
Loading crates down on the dock
I take my hard earned money
And meet my girl down on the block
And Monday when the foreman calls time
I've already got Friday on my mind
When that whistle blows
Girl, I'm down the street
I'm home, I'm out of my work clothes

Somedays won't end ever
And somedays pass on be I'll be working here forever,
At least until I die, dammed if you do, dammed if you don't
I'm supposed to get a raise week, you know damn well I won't.

 

Workin' for a livin' (workin')
Workin' for a livin' (workin')
Workin' for a livin', livin' and workin'
I'm taking what they giving 'cause I'm working for a livin'.

Well I taught that weeping willow how to cry cry cry,

Taught the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky.

Tears I cried for that woman are gonna flood you big river,

And I'm a gonna sit right here until I die.

 

I met her accidentally in St. Paul, Minnesota,

She tore me up everything I heard her drawl, that southern drawl.

Well I heard my dream went back downstream, cavortin' in Davenport,

And I follow you big river when you called.

The wind blew some luck in my direction
I caught it in my hands today
I finally made a tricky French connection
You winked and gave me your o.k

I'll take you on a trip beside the ocean
And drop the top at Chesapeake Bay
Ain't nothing like the sky to dose a potion
The moon'll send you on your way

I turn my face to the sun
Close my eyes
Let my defenses down
All those wounds
That I can't get unwound

 

I let my past go too fast
No time to pause
If I could slow it all down
Like some captain
Whose ship runs aground
I can wait until the tide comes around

You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
Me, myself, I got nothing to prove
