Lyrics
Down To The Riverside
Gonna tell ya 'bout a place I know
Every night when the sun gets low
C'mon baby let's take a ride
Down to the riverside
Leave your worrys at the five and dime
Got no money but we got the time
C'mon baby let's take a ride
Down to the riverside
It's an easy state of mind
Have another glass o' wine
Set my clock to River Time
Kickin' back from the daily grind
Everybody gonna laugh and sing
Keep a-goin' 'cause it ain't no thing
C'mon baby let's take a ride
Down to the riverside
"No, no..."
Ain't talkin' 'bout Idaho (no, no...)
Ain't talkin' 'bout Ohio (no, no...)
Ain't talkin' 'bout Buffalo
Go down to the riverside
"No, no..."
Ain't talkin' 'bout Chicago (no, no...)
Ain't talkin' 'bout Kokomo (no, no...)
Ain't talkin' 'bout Mexico
Go down to the riverside
"No, no..."
Ain't talkin' 'bout Pimlico (no, no...)
Ain't talkin' 'bout Toronto (no, no...)
This ain't no pony show
Go down to the riverside
Let's go
Let's go
Let's go down to the riverside
Time Flies
Time ain't money - 'n' it ain't on my side
'n' time waits for no one - along for the ride
Time on your hands - is no time to kill
The time of your life - just won't stand still
The race has just started at the sound of the gun
Time flies when you're havin' fun
There's no time like the present -
'cause that's all you got
'n' time that is borrowed is a burial plot
The past 'n' the future - don't mean much to me
It's just a question of time before 'long time no see'
It's like chasin' your tail - this race can't be run
Time flies when you're havin' fun
Time ain't all sliced up - like the hours on a clock
There just ain't no difference -
between the tic and the tock
So next time around - I know what I'll do
Spend all my time - with somebody like you
And tell everybody under the sun
Time flies when you're havin' fun
Just Say Yes
I know that you got hurt the other day
He didn't tell you he just went away
But here's something that i always meant to say
I can see you're cryin' but can't you see i'm tryin'
I want you, don't say no, take your time, take it slow
And when you know this ain't b.S. - just say yes
I didn't know that i said something wrong
You're feelin' weak 'cause i came on to strong
But i had to say i loved you all along
I can see you're cryin' but can't you see i'm tryin'
I want you, don't say no, take your time, take it slow
And when you find some happiness - just say yes
You got to see, it just takes time
I'm not yours and you're not mine
It just takes time till we find
A love that's yours a love that's mine
Now we've been workin' at it quite a while
You make me happy when i see you smile
Lemme ring you up and walk you down the aisle
I can see you're cryin' 'cause you know i ain't lyin'
I want you, don't say no, take your time, take it slow
And when you're in your wedding dress - just say yes
Don't say no, don't say maybe, just take a lucky guess
So put on your weddin' dress and just say yes
Same Old Song
I keep singin' that same ol' song
Hopin' everyone'll sing along
It ain't too fancy and it doesn't have a strong beginnin'
Well it's a story you already heard
It's a story 'bout a boy and girl
They wanna get a life together but the world keeps spinnin'
Ooh baby what's the buzz
'What it is' is what it was
Right or wrong, baby - it's the same ol' song
It's all just work and never any play
Turn around and it's another day
This ain't life it's just the same old way of livin'
It's a long shot to kingdom come
Get to thinkin' they should cut and run
But nights are good for some forgettin' and some forgivin'
I say - ooh baby what's the buzz
'What it is' is what it was
Right or wrong, baby, it's the same ol' song
The other day they figured somethin' out
Discovered what their life was all about
With all the ups and downs they had to learn just how to take it
Work is work and play is play it's true
So get some cake and you can eat it, too
It's all about the time together now and you can make it
Ooh baby what was is was
'What it is' is what's the buzz
It's right all along baby - it's the same ol' song
It's the same ol' song it's the same ol' song
You're In The Circus Now
Come on down - step right up
Every day can be a party
Spin the wheel -
you're in the circus now
Make the rounds - join the club
Hearts are breakin' nights are starry
No big deal - you're in the circus now
She ain't got no discipline,
He's a big time spender
Wanna bees and mighta been's
You're the last contender
Paint the town - one flight up
No mistakin' Ken and Barbie
It ain't real - you're in the circus now
Hand me downs - flesh and blood
God's forsaken Vince Lombardi
Take the field -
you're in the circus now
Lost and found - in a rut
Nerves are gratin' - you ain't hardly
Unrevealed - you're in the circus now
She ain't got no dirt on him,
He's a first offender
Use-to-bees and shoulda been's
You're the Great Pretender
Kiss the ground - knock on wood
Aggravatin' off the charts, just
Spin the wheel -
you're in the circus now
Crow
Way out there over the horizon
In a distant line of trees
Holding all the keys
And yet to be in this much confusion
The fading glimpse of sanity
A shiny object in the breaking day
It's just a distraction
From the grey and unfamiliar world
Way out there over the horizon
Fly away without a care
Try to understand
Till everything fades away to nothing but despair
Weary Soul
I was out late last night - woke up real early
Walkin' around in the yard
I won't think twice - my mind won't lemme
Feel like i'm blown apart
I stepped onto the porch - ain't in a hurry
Already wasted today
Stiff as a board - troubles around me
You were just pullin' away
Tent poles and grommets - bad dogs and sonnets
Why don't you leave me alone
I drive to memphis - that road is endless
I've got a weary soul
I was feelin' a chill - autumn's real pretty
I can smell smoke on the wind
Over the hill - the lights of the city
Squirrels runnun' out on a limb
Tell me no lies - ask me no questions
You don't want to hear my remark
Look at your prize - my mind's a prison
Life is a walk in the dark
Chorus
Now i look all around - pictures and nick nacks
Night came to early today
Ear to the ground - shovel and pick-ax
Know what I'm gonna say
Diggin' for pests - hair is unruly
Head's ended up in the sky
You are the best - i mean that truly
I will till the minute i die
Chorus
Let's Party
C'mon baby let's party all night long
C'mon baby let's party all night long
You get the Baily's 'n' I'll get the bong
We'll get drunk 'n' have a little smoke-a-thon
So c'mon baby let's party all night long
C'mon baby let's start a family
C'mon baby let's start a family
We'll have us some babies a-1 2 3
We can grow our own little fam'ly tree
So c'mon baby let's start a fami ly
C'mon baby let's go to the picture show
C'mon baby let's go to the picture show
You get the kids and get ready to go
To the drive in movie now the sun's gettin' low
So c'mon baby let's go to the picture show
Ooh
I'm so in love with you i know just what to do
Ooh
Gonna work real hard 'n' party when the day is through
Solo
C'mon baby let's cuddle in the rockin' chair
C'mon baby let's cuddle in the rockin' chair
The kids are all gone and so's my hair
We can walk around the house in our underwear
So c'mon baby let's cuddle in the rockin' chair
C'mon baby let's go to the great beyond
C'mon baby let's go to the great be yond
St. Pete's throwin' a party out on heaven's lawn
We can play croquet until the break of dawn
So c'mon baby let's go to the great beyond
Yeah c'mon baby we can party all eternity
