Lyrical Response

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Silence in the darkness creeps into your soul
Envy moves the light of self control
The gate that holds you captive has the door
Burnin' with determination to even up the score

 

Heart's on fire, strong desire, rages deep within
Heart's on fire, fever's risin', high
The moment of truth draws near

[WhoTom]

Well, my temperature's rising, got my feet on the floor
Crazy people rocking 'cause they want to some more
Let me in baby, I don't know what you got
But you better take it easy 'cause this place is hot

 

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Well I'm a standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
Such a fine sight to see
It's a girl my lord in a flatbed
Ford slowin' down to take a look at me

Come on baby
Don't say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is gonna save me

 

We may lose and we may win
Though we will never be here again
So open up I'm climbin' in
Take it easy

[PastaJoe]

She must belong to San Francisco 
She must have lost her way (Posted up poster of poncho and Cisco) 
One California day 
She said she believes in Robin Hood and brotherhood 
And colors of green and gray 
And all you can do is laugh at her 
Doesn't anybody know how to pray 

 

Arizona take off your rainbow shades 
Arizona have another look at the world, my my
Arizona cut off your Indian braids 
Arizona hey won'tcha go my way

[KD in CA]

If you're going to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you're going to San Francisco
You're gonna meet some gentle people there

[Gray Beard]

I saw her sitting in the rain
Raindrops falling on her
She didn't seem to care
She sat there and smiled at me

 

Then I knew
She could make me happy
Flowers in her hair
Flowers everywhere

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

In the twilight glow I see them
Blue eyes cryin' in the rain
When we kissed goodbye and parted
I knew we'd never meet again

[WhoTom]

Then somewhere near Salinas, Lord, I let her slip away
Lookin' for the home that I hope she'll find
And I'd trade all my tomorrows for one single yesterday
Holdin' Bobby's body close to mine

 

[Gray Beard]

I wanna be Bobby's girl,
I wanna be Bobby's girl.
That's the most important thing to me.
And if I was Bobby's girl,
If I was Bobby's girl.
What a faithful, thankful girl I'd be.

Each night I sit at home,
Hoping that he will phone.
But I know Bobby has someone else.
(You're not a kid anymore.)
Still in my heart I pray,
There soon will come the day,
When I will have him all to myself.

[SinceThe70s]

I'm a Barbie girl in the Barbie world
Life in plastic, it's fantastic

[Bill from NYC]

Don't you know, that it's true?

That for me, and for you,

The world is a ghetto.

[WhoTom]

If the story feels exactly like a dream,

Don't know what it means.

Things ain't what they seem.

 

And you can't just turn the page and let it go.

The things that you've been told

Are deep down in your soul.

 

[Gray Beard]

'Cause ladies love outlaws like babies love stray dogs
Ladies touch babies like a banker touches gold
And outlaws touch the ladies
Somewhere deep down in their soul.

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

I'm for the law and order the way it should be
This song's about the night they spent protecting you from me
Someone called us outlaws in some old magazine
And New York sent a posse down like I ain't ever seen

 

Don't you think this outlaw bit's done got out of hand
What started out to be a joke the law don't understand
Was it singing through my nose that got me busted by the man
Maybe this here outlaw bit's done got out of hand out of hand

[WhoTom]

Robbin' people with a six-gun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

I lost my girl and I lost my fun
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the law won

[PastaJoe]

I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy
I shot the sheriff, but I did not shoot the deputy

 

All around in my home town
They're trying to track me down
They say they want to bring me in guilty
For the killing of a deputy
For the life of a deputy, but I say

 

I shot the sheriff, but I swear it was in self-defense
I shot the sheriff, and they say it is a capital offense

[SinceThe70s]

Well, I'm running
Police on my back
I've been hiding
Police on my back
There was a shooting
Police on my back
And the victim
Well, he won't come back

[Bill from NYC]

A policeman put on his uniform,

He'd like to have a gun just to keep him warm,

Because violence here is a social norm,

You've got to humanize yourself.

 

[WhoTom]

Got two reasons why I cry
Away each lonely night
The first one's named sweet Anne Marie
And she's my heart's delight
Second one is prison, baby
The sheriff's on my trail
And if he catches up with me
I'll spend my life in jail

 

[Bill from NYC]

Well I went to the depot I never got there on time.

Went down to the depot, never got there on time.

Well the train went down she's a rollin' down the line.

 

Mister jailer go away now, don't tell me no lies.

Mister jailer go away now, don't tell me no lies.

When my train comes down she's rollin' down the line.
