"Who Woulda Thunk It?"

We used to say I could walk all night, and we could and we did Down that gravel road, to that tiny town, and the door always opened Now we say I could walk all night. It's not true We can't walk all night, no, because we don't want to We want a bed and a blanket, some light breakfast, sometime tomorrow We want a bed and a blanket, some light breakfast, sometime tomorrow And I sing it now, hey hey, hey hey, who woulda thunk it Hey hey, hey hey, who woulda thunk it We used to say I could eat a horse, and we could and we did In fast food joints in the middle of someplace on the way to someplace else Now we say I could eat a horse. It's not true We can't eat a horse, no, because we don't want to We want somethin from the cookbook, that new one with the great graphics Somethin from the cookbook, that new one with the great graphics Oh and I sing it now, hey hey, hey hey, who woulda thunk it Hey hey, hey hey, who woulda thunk it We used to say I don't care if I never have any money As long as I have my sweet honey and a shack in the woodland Now we say I don't care if I don't have money, but it's not true We can't live without money, no, because we don't want to We want one of those and two of those, and oh that one looks neat, wrap it up Put it on my MasterCard. Put it on my Visa And I sing it now, hey hey, hey hey, who woulda thunk it Hey hey, hey hey, who woulda thunk it Hey hey, hey hey Hey hey, hey hey now, who woulda thunk it We used to say I don't care if I never grow old I'm gonna flame, gonna burn, take one quick turn and be gone like James Dean Now we don't say that. It's too late to die young So we sit at the table long after supper and a good wine Here's what we sing, we go, hey hey, hey hey, who woulda thunk it Hey hey, hey hey, who woulda thunk it

"In the Dark with You"

People are in the dark, they don't know what to do Had a little lantern oh but it got blown out too I'm reachin out my hands. I know you are too Cuz I just want to be in the dark with you Every day every night all over my whole life through Just let me be in the dark with you Every day every night all over my whole life through Every year what you hear goes from worse to worse Some say the whole world suffers beneath a curse I know less all the time. Kiss me 'fore I prove that's true Just let me be in the dark with you Every day every night all over my whole life through I just want to be in the dark with you Every day every night all over my whole life through Ah the people are in the dark, they don't know what to do Had a little lantern oh but it got blown out too I'm reachin out my hands. I know you are too Cuz I just want to be in the dark with you Every day every night all over my whole life through Just let me be in the dark with you Every day every night all over my whole life through

"Help Me Make It through This Funky Day"

Well the coffee boiled and the sun fled Ah there's grime on the windows, and the streets are dead It been Tuesday all week and it's Tuesday again Today is a Parisian, I am an American And I know it ain't, I know I ain't, I hope you ain't gonna go away Ah will ya help me help me help me help me help me help me make it through this funky day Ah will ya help me help me help me help me baby will ya help me Ya gotta help me make it through this funky day It look like February 19th and November 8th They had an ugly little baby and they're gonna call it Today Ah my face feel like clay every time I try to grin And I think I might cry if I try to grin again Oh but I know it ain't, I know I ain't, I hope you ain't gonna go away Ah will ya help me help me help me help me help me help me make it through this funky day Ah will ya help me help me help me help me baby will ya help me Ya gotta help me make it through this funky day I don't want to go out because I'm tired of the door I'm tired of everybody actin like it's wierded out 1954 It's just the year of the barfly. It's just the month of the roach Hold on to my shoulders, baby, I'm sinkin so low And I know it ain't, I know I ain't, I hope you ain't gonna go away Ah will ya help me help me help me help me help me help me make it through this funky day Ah will ya help me help me help me help me help me help me help me make it through this Help me make it Ah will ya baby will ya help me Oh will ya baby will ya help me make it through this Ya gotta help me Help me help me help me make it through this funky day It's just another, it's just another It's just another, it's just another It's just another funky funky funky funky funky day.

"I Slept All Night by My Lover"

Lookin out my window, glad to see another dawn A few cars strugglin through the snow It's so hard to believe it could all be here and gone So quickly that we wouldn't even know And I slept all night by my lover She trembles in her sleep, deep in a bad dream I touch her brow and she ceases shaking Why should I sleep with such a lovely watch to keep In an hour or so the children will be waking And I slept all night by my lover Madmen with guns stalk the deer at night And bring down the dark the whole world over Even in my dreams I see their shining eyes And they pierce me and leave me with no cover And I slept all night by my lover

"Where Do the Wild Geese Go?"

Where do the wild geese go when they go away Where do the wild geese go Are all their babies up there in that V on holiday How do they know the way How do they know the way How do they know the way How do they know the way Where do the dark clouds go when they go away Where do the dark clouds go Where does the night go at the break of day How can ya love me so well How can ya love me so well How can ya love me so well How can ya love me so well Where does your wild heart go when it goes away Where does your wild heart go Does it travel all night with the wild geese That why it beatin so That why it beatin so That why it beatin so That why it beatin so Where do the wild geese go when they go away Do they travel all night Do they travel all night Do they travel all night Do they travel all night Where do the wild geese go when they go away Where do the wild geese go Are all their babies up there in that V How do they know the way How do they know the way How do they know the way How do they know the way Where do the wild geese go Where do the wild geese go Where do the wild geese go when they go away Where do the wild geese go Where do the wild geese go when they go away Where do the wild geese go Where do the wild geese go when they go away Where do the wild geese go

"Good Morning Coffee"

I will bring you your good mornin coffee, will you smile If not now then have a sip or two and maybe in a while I love you I love you in the good mornin and in the night Every day I wait with you wherever we are it's all right Here's your coffee, it may still be too hot, it is freshly brewed I'll just pour myself a cup and then I will crawl in with you

"All the Money's Gone"

That was a trip. Wasn't that a trip, my darlin I love to see ya happy in the mountains But who's that knockin on the door now How many pennies in that stack you're countin All the money's gone. All the money's gone Gut it out, pack it up and move on All the money's gone. All the money's gone Do you know how much I love you I'd like to buy ya the world's largest bathtub But I put my hand so deep in my pocket I found some lint, some burnt matches and a couple of ticket stubs But all the money's gone. All the money's gone Gut it out, pack it up and move on All the money's gone. All the money's I've been walkin the streets Where the shoes and the clothes and the haircuts, they holler and they holler We Americans, we are so easily pleased A jug of wine, a loaf of bread and fifty thousand dollars But all the money's gone. All the money's gone Gut it out, pack it up and move on All the money's gone. All the money's All the money's gone. All the money's

"Letters from Europe"

Letters from Europe All our pals far away Who pack, pack it all up Left the USA One with a paintbrush One with a musical instrument One with masks and juggling balls We cried when they went We said we know it's weird here We said we know it's weird here We said we know it's weird here We said we know it's weird here, but it weird there, too We're gonna miss ya Postcards from the coffee shops The station in Amsterdam The hotel in Lyons London, riding on a tram Adventures in transportation Affairs of the heart Also ah your lucky friends All the other parts We said we know it's weird here We said we know it's weird here We said we know it's weird here We said we know it's weird here, but it weird there, too We're gonna miss ya Ah my children sing their own songs I still, I still do too I'm gonna send some on a cassette On an airplane to you I hope ya get a lot of work I know travellin suits you Oh and if ya miss the USA Well sometimes I do too. We said we know it's weird here We said we know it's weird here We said we know that it weird here We said we know it's weird here, but it weird there, too Ah we're gonna miss ya

"Just a Bum"

I saw a man, he's a well-dressed man He had a tan from the Yucatan He had a car, he looked like a star I said, Hey, don't I know who you are But when he glanced into my eyes I saw yes I saw was such a big surprise He was afraid that he's just a bum Someday when all his stuff is gone and he's left without a dime Time ain't money when all ya got is time And you can see him standin on the corner with a nine-day beard and bright red eyes I know a guy, he's a pal of mine I say, hey. He say, I'm doin fine I'm movin up the ladder, rung rung rung I'm gonna get my million while I am still young But at night when he's had a few His eyes say different than his tongue They say I'm afraid that I'm just a bum Someday when all my stuff is gone and I'm left without a dime Time ain't money when all ya got is time And I can see me standin on the corner with my nine-day beard and my bright red eyes Goin hey, hey hey hey hey, come on and listen to my story, hey, hey hey hey hey, ah hey Some people live to work, work to live Any little tremble and the earth might give Ya can't hide it in a Volvo or a London Fog Can't hide it in a mansion with an imported dog No matter how we plan and rehearse, we're at pink slip's mercy in a paper universe And we're afraid that we're just a bum Someday when all our stuff is gone and we're left without a dime Time ain't money when all ya got is time And we can see us standin on the corner with our nine-day beards and our bright red eyes Goin, hey hey hey hey hey hey hey Hey hey hey hey, come on and listen to my story man hey, hey hey hey hey, ah hey The man of sorrow's acquainted with grief Stands in line waiting for relief He will tell ya it wasn't always this way One bad little thing happened one bad little day Heartbreak has bad teeth and a sour smell and lives when he can in a cheap hotel And he's afraid that he's just a bum Someday when all his stuff is gone and he's left without a dime Time ain't money when all ya got is time And you can see him standin on the corner with a nine-day beard and bright red eyes Goin, hey hey hey hey hey hey hey Hey hey hey hey, come on and listen to my story man hey, hey hey hey hey, ah hey

"People with Bad Luck"

People with the bad luck lookin at the people with the good luck and goin, ooooh If ya got the good luck it's hard to figure out What the one with the bad luck is carryin on about What would just enough of the good luck and money or the lack of it do Make a young man of 40 an old man of 22 People with the bad luck lookin at the people with the good luck and they're goin, ooooh Maybe someone you thought was very kind and true Turned around and did somethin just plain mean to you And it might make you cry, and it might make you real mad And it might get you to thinkin about the kind of luck that you both had People with the bad luck lookin at the people with the good luck and they're goin, ooooh Don't we all want to laugh a little, don't we all want to cry Don't we all want to live a little before it's time to die If ya got the good luck it sure might seem that way But if you got the bad luck you just cannot make it through the day People with the bad luck lookin at the people with the good luck and goin, ooooh Once I had me a good friend, he was funny and full of cheer But his luck was always so bad and he's no longer here Sometimes in this world I'm wonderin that we ain't grateful for every breath Sometimes in this world I'm wonderin that we don't all just drink ourselves to death People with the bad luck lookin at the people with the good luck and they're goin, ooooh Yeah the people with the bad luck lookin at the people with the good luck and they're goin, ooooh
