Lyrical Response

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

You know I don't understand why you don't treat yourself better
Do the crazy things that you do
'Cause all the debutantes in Houston, baby,
Couldn't hold a candle to you

 

Did you do it for love?
Did you do it for money?
Did you do it for spite?
Did you think you had to, honey?

 

Who is gonna make it?
We'll find out in the long run (in the long run)
I know we can take it
If our love is a strong one (is a strong one)

 

Well, we're scared, but we ain't shakin'
Kinda bent, but we ain't breakin' in the long run
Ooh, I want to tell you, it's a long run in the long run
 

In the long run
In the long run

[Gray Beard]

Houston has the Oilers, the greatest football team.  
We take the ball from goal to goal like no one's ever seen.  
We're in the air, we're on the ground - always in control,  
And when you say the Oilers, you're talking Super Bowl.  

'Cause we're the Houston Oilers, Houston Oilers,  
Houston Oilers, Number One.  
Yes, we're the Houston Oilers, Houston Oilers,  
Houston Oilers, Number One.  

We've got the offense, we've got the defense,  
We give the other team no hope.  
'Cause we're the Houston Oilers, Houston Oilers,  
You know we're gonna hold the rope.  
 

[WhoTom]

If you're ever in Houston, well, you better do right
You better not gamble, you better not fight
Or the sheriff will grab ya and the boys will bring you down
The next thing you know, boy, oh, you're prison bound

 

[SinceThe70s]

Cause I was born lonely down by the riverside
Learned to spin fortune wheels, and throw dice
And I was just thirteen when I had to leave home
Knew I couldn't stick around, had to roam
 

Ain't good lookin', but you know I ain't shy
Ain't afraid to look a girl, in the eye

So if you need some lovin, and you need it right away
Take a little time out, and maybe I'll stay
 

Then I got to ramble (ramblin' man)
Lord I got to gamble (gamblin' man)

[Bill from NYC]

Sweet blossom come on under the willow,

We can have high times if you'll abide.

We can discover the wonders of nature,

Rolling in the rushes, down by the riverside.

[PastaJoe]

I'm gonna lay down my sword and shield
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside
Down by the riverside

 

I'm gonna lay down my sword and shield
Down by the riverside
I'm gonna study, study, war no more

[Gray Beard]

Be on my side. I'll be on your side, baby.
There is no reason for you to hide.
It's so hard for me staying here all alone,
When you could be taking me for a ride.

She could drag me over the rainbow,
Send me away.

Down by the river,
I shot my baby.

[WhoTom]

If you come down to the river
Bet you gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry 'cause you have no money
People on the river are happy to give

.

When the last rose of summer pricks my finger,

And the hot sun chills me to the bone.

When I can't hear the song for the singer,

And I can't tell my pillow from a stone,

 

I will walk alone, by the black muddy river,

And sing me a song of my own.

I will walk alone, by the black muddy river,

And sing me a song of my own.

[SinceThe70s]

In the hazy light I see
Lonely crow, dark green dream
I got no paddle and I got no shoes
I'm solo in a rawhide canoe

 

Hundreds of them little bug eyes
Them drooly runny glassy eyes
Smilin' through the foggy soup
I crack a grin and laugh in tune

 

And I would love to float... On... Munky river

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Rollin' rollin' rollin'
Rollin' rollin' rollin'
Rollin' rollin' rollin'
Rollin' rollin' rollin'
Rawhide

[Bill from NYC]

Left my home in Norfolk Virginia,

California on my mind.

Straddled that Greyhound and rolled into Raleigh

and on across Carolina.

 

Stopped in Charlotte and bypassed Rock Hill

and we never was a minute late.

We was ninety miles out of Atlanta by sundown,

Rollin' cross Georgia state.

 

[Gray Beard]

Georgia, Georgia
The whole day through
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind

 

I said Georgia
Georgia
A song of you
Comes as sweet and clear
As moonlight through the pines

[Fan in Chicago]

Well then Georgia Peaches

Sure do got the style

They'll steal your heart with a Southern style

Well they talk a little funny, but they look so fine

[WhoTom]

Well the Ukraine girls really knock me out
They leave the west behind
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout
That Georgia's always on my my my my my my my my my mind

 

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Maybe I didn't love you
Quite as often as I could have
And maybe I didn't treat you
Quite as good as I should have
If I made you feel second best
Girl I'm sorry I was blind
You were always on my mind

[PastaJoe]

I got my mind set on you
Set on you
I got my mind set on you
Set on you
 

But it's gonna take money
A whole lot of spending money
It's gonna take plenty of money
To do it right, child

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Stop wasting my time
You know what I want
You know what I need
Or maybe you don't

 

Do I have to come right flat out and tell you everything?
Gimme some money

Gimme some money

[WhoTom]

Early in the mornin', risin' to the street
Light me up that cigarette and I'll strap shoes on my feet
Got to find the reason, reason things went wrong
Got to find a reason why my money's all gone

 

[Bill from NYC]

I play the street life, because there's no place I can go.

Street life, it's the only life I know.

Street life, and there's a thousand parts to play,

Street life, until you play your life away.
