@ALBUM: On the Border
@SONG: ALREADY GONE

Well, I heard some people talkin' just the other day
and they said you were gonna put me on a shelf.
But let me tell you I got some news for you and you soon find out it's true
and then you'll have to eat your lunch all by yourself.

      'Cause I'm already gone
      and I'm feelin' strong.
      I will sing this vict'ry song.
      Woo-hoo-hoo-o, my my, woo-hoo-hoo-o.

The letter that you wrote me made me stop and wonder why
but I guess you felt like you had to set things right.
Just remember this, my girl, when you look up in the sky
you can see the stars and still not see the light, that's right.

      And I'm already gone
      and I'n feelin' strong.
      I will sing this vict'ry song.
      Woo-hoo-hoo-o, my my, woo-hoo-hoo-o.

Well, I know it wasn't you who held me down.
Heaven knows it wasn't you who set me free.
So oftentimes it happens that we live our lives in chains
and we never even know we have the key.

      But me, I'm already gone
      and I'm feelin' strong.
      I will sing, I will sing this vict'ry song
      'cause I'm already gone.

      Yes, I'm already gone
      and I'm feelin' strong.
      I will sing this vict'ry song
      'cause I'm already gone.

      Yes, I'm already gone,
      already gone ALRIGHT
      already gone
      already gone (fade)

@SONG: YOU NEVER CRY LIKE A LOVER

You never cry like a lover should,
sigh when it feels real good
or see the sky through the stone and wood.
You never cry like a lover.

      I thought I saw somebody I loved
      sleeping deep inside you.
      If I could catch you in an unguarded moment
      I'd stay right there beside you.

You never smile at me late at night,
laugh out loud when we get it right.
You can't get loose if there's too much light.
You never smile like a lover.

      TRY A LITTLE HARDER I can't live with you, baby,
      HARDER can't live without you.
      TRY A LITTLE HARDER And sometimes I believe in love,
      sometimes I doubt it.

   But your life goes on like a broken down carousel
   where somebody left the music on.
   I was hopin' you were the one,
   I was hopin' you were the one,
   I was hopin' you were the one,
   I was hopin' you were the one.

You never move like you used to do,
pour it out when you're feelin' blue.
Somebody must have put some pain in you,
you never cry like a lover,
you never cry like a lover.
YOU NEVER CRY LIKE A LOVER cry
YOU NEVER CRY LIKE A LOVER you never cry
CRY LIKE A LOVER come on and cry
YOU NEVER CRY LIKE A LOVER cry
CRY LIKE A LOVER cry
YOU NEVER CRY LIKE A LOVER cry cry
CRY LIKE A LOVER you never cry (fade)

@SONG: MIDNIGHT FLYER

      Oo, Midnight Flyer,
      engineer, won't you let your whistle moan.
      Oo, Midnight Flyer,
      I paid my dues and I feel like trav'lin' on.

A runaway team of horses ain't enough to make me stay,
so throw your rope on another man and pull him down your way.
Make him into someone to take the place of me,
make him every kind of fool you wanted me to be.

      Oo, Midnight Flyer,
      engineer, won't you let your whistle moan.
      Oo, Midnight Flyer,
      I paid my dues and I feel like trav'lin' on.

Maybe I'll go to Santa Fe, maybe San Antone,
any town is where I'm bound any way to get me gone.
Don't think about me, never let me cross your mind
'cept when you hear that midnight lonesome whistle whine.

      Oo, Midnight Flyer,
      engineer, won't you let your whistle moan.
      Oo, Midnight Flyer,
      I paid my dues and I feel like trav'lin' on.

      Oo, Midnight Flyer,
      engineer, won't you let your whistle moan.
      Oo, Midnight Flyer,
      I paid my dues and I feel like trav'lin' on,
      I paid my dues and I feel like trav'lin' on.

@SONG: MY MAN

Tell me the truth, how do you feel?
Like you're rollin' so fast that you're spinnin' your wheels.
Don't feel too bad, you're not all alone,
we're all tryin' to get along.

With everybody else tryin' to go their way
you're bound to get tripped and what can you say?
Just go along till they turn out the lights,
there's nothing we can do to fight it.

      No man's got it made till he's far beyond the pain
      and we who must remain go on living just the same.

I once knew a man, very talented guy.
He'd sing for the people and people would cry.
They knew that his song came from deep down inside,
you could hear it in his voice and see it in his eyes.

And so he traveled alone,
touch your heart, then be gone.
Like a flower he bloomed till that old
hickory wind  called him home.

      My man's got it made, he's gone far beyond the pain
      and we who must remain go on livine just the's ame.

      Now my man's got it made, he's gone far beyond the pain
      and we who must remain go on living just the same,
      we who must remain go on laughing just the same.

            - Bernie Leadon
@SONG: ON THE BORDER

Cruisin' down the center of a two-way street,
wond'rin' who is really in the driver's seat.
Mindin' my bus'ness, along comes big brother,
says, "Son, you better get on one side or the other."

      WO-OH I'm out on the border,
      WO-OH I'm walkin' the line.
      WO-OH Don't you tell me 'bout your law and order,
      I'm tryin' to change this water to wine.

After a hard day I'm safe at home
foolin' with my baby on the telephone,
out of nowhere somebody cuts in and says,
"Hmm, you in some trouble, boy, we know where you been."

      WO-OH I'm out on the border,
      WO-OH I thought this was a private line.
      WO-OH Don't you tell me 'bout your law and order,
      I'm tryin' to change this water to wine.

   Never mind your name JUST GIVE US YOUR NUMBER
   mm, never mind your face JUST GIVE US YOUR CARD
   Mm, and we wanna know WHOSE WING ARE YOU UNDER.
   You better step to the right OR WE CAN MAKE IT HARD.

      WO-OH I'm stuck on the border.
      WO-OH All I wanted was some peace of mind.
      WO-OH Don't you tell me 'bout your law and order,
      I'm tryin' to change this water to wine.

        ON THE BORDER
        ON THE BORDER
        ON THE BORDER
        ON THE BORDER
        ON THE BORDER leave me be, I'm just walking this line
        I'M OUT ON THE BORDER
        ON THE BORDER all I wanted was some peace of mind, peace of mind
        I'M OUT ON THE BORDER
        ON THE BORDER can't you see I'm tryin' to change this water to wine
        I'M OUT ON THE BORDER
        ON THE BORDER don't you tell me 'bout your law and order
        I'M OUT ON THE BORDER I'm sick and tired of all your law and order
        ON THE BORDER say goodnight in here
        I'M OUT ON THE BORDER
        ON THE BORDER
        I'M OUT ON THE BORDER (fade)

@SONG: JAMES DEAN

      James Dean, James Dean, I know just what you mean.
      James Dean, you said it all so clean
      and I know my life would look alright
      if I could see it on the silver screen.

You were the low down rebel if there ever was
even if you had no'cause.
James Dean, you said it all so clean
and I know my life would look alright
if I could see it on the silver screen.

   We'll talk about a low-down bad refrigerator,
   you were just too cool for school.
   Sock hop, soda pop, basketball and auto shop,
   the only thing that got you off was breakin' all the rules.

      James Dean, James Dean, so hungry and so lean.
      James Dean, you said it all so clean
      and I know my life would look alright
      if I could see it on the silver screen.

   Little James Dean up on the screen
   wond'rin' who he might be.
   Along came a Spyder, picked up a rider,
   took him down the road to eternity.

      James Dean, James Dean, you bought it sight unseen.
      James Dean, James Dean, you bought it sight unseen.
      You were too fast to live, too young to die, bye bye.
      You were too fast to live, too young to die, bye bye.
      Bye bye TOO FAST TO LIVE TOO YOUNG TO DIE
      Bye bye TOO FAST TO LIVE TOO YOUNG TO DIE
      Bye bye TOO FAST TO LIVE TOO YOUNG TO DIE
      Bye bye TOO FAST TO LIVE TOO YOUNG TO DIE
      TOO FAST TO LIVE TOO YOUNG TO DIE
      Oo-oo-oo-oo TOO FAST TO LIVE TOO YOUNG TO DIE
      Bye bye TOO FAST TO LIVE TOO YOUNG TO DIE
      Oh, James Dean TOO FAST TO LIVE TOO YOUNG TO DIE

@SONG: OL' 55

Well, my time went so quickly, I went lickety-splitly
out to my ol' fifty-five.
As I pulled away slowly feelin' so holy
God knows I was feelin' alive.

      And now the sun's comin' up,
      I'm ridin' with Lady Luck,
      freeway cars and trucks.
      Stars beginning to fade
      and I lead the parade
      just a wishin' I'd stayed a little longer.
      Lord, don't you know the feelin's gettin' stronger.

Six in the mornin' gave me no warnin',
I had to be on my way.
Now the cars are all passin' me, trucks are all flashin' me,
I'm headed home from your place.

      And now the sun's comin' up,
      I'm ridin' with Lady Luck,
      freeway cars and trucks.
      Stars beginning to fade
      and I lead the parade
      just a wishin' I'd stayed a little longer.
      Lord, don't you know the feelin's gettin' stronger.

Well, my time went so quickly, I went lickety-splitly
out to my ol' fifty-five.
As I pulled away slowly feelin' so holy
God knows I was feelin' alive.

      And now the sun's comin' up, yes it is,
      I'm ridin' with Lady Luck,
      freeway cars and trucks.
      Freeway cars and trucks
      ridin' with Lady Luck.
      Freeway cars and trucks
      ridin' with Lady Luck.
      Freeway cars and trucks
      ridin' with Lady Luck.

                             - Tom Waits

@SONG: IS IT TRUE?

How come you love him when he takes you for a fool,
he's only looking for a good time.
How can he love you when he treats you mean cruel,
he's not the best thing that you could find.

      Is it true? I can't believe it.
      Is it true? I just can't see it.
      Is it true? Is that you?

When we were young we didn't really have a care,
you were hung up, I had a good line.
I never knew it then but, man, I was in love.
How could I know it was the right time?

      Is it true you've lost that feelin ?
      Is it true you might be leavin ?
      Is it true? Don't wanna find out.

   Yes, I was so wrong for leading you on,
   there wasn't much I could do.
   I was a wild one but I can change some
   if that's important to you.

      Is it true you've lost that feelin ?
      Is it true you might be leavin ?
      Is it true, is it true?

She's really leavin',
she's really leavin',
she's really leavin'.

@SONG: A GOOD DAY IN HELL

Move in, can't you see she wants you,
she has you deep in her eyes.
You been wond'rin' why she haunts you,
beauty in the devil's disguise

      She can tell you all about it,
      she sees it in the stars.
      She'll burn you if you try to put her down.
      Oh well, it's been a good day in hell
      and tomorrow I'll be glory bound.

Higher, she can keep you loaded,
feedin' you whiskey and wine.
Fire, the devil's on the phone,
he laughs and says you're doin' just fine.

      In that big book of names
      I wanna go down in flames
      seein's how I'm goin' down.
      Oh well, it's been a good day in hell
      and tomorrow I'll be glory bound.

Truckin', it's all that I been doin',
every girl's a fork in the road.
Stuck in some sticky situations,
feelin' like I wanna explode.

      All this gratification
      and sick conversation,
      someone get me out of town.
      Oh well, it's been a good day in hell
      and tomorrow I'll be glory bound.
      It's been a good day, a good day.

               - Glenn Frey & Don Henley
@SONG: THE BEST OF MY LOVE

Every night I'm lyin' in bed
holdin' you close in my dreams,
thinkin' about all the things that we said
and comin' apart at the seams.
We try to talk it over but the words come out too rough.
I know you were tryin' to give me the best of your love.

Beautiful faces and loud empty places,
look at the way that we live.
Wastin' our time on cheap talk and wine
left us so little to give.
That same old crowd was like a cold dark cloud that we could never rise above
but here in my heart I give you the best of my love.

      O-O-O-OH SWEET DARLIN' you get the best of my love
      YOU GET THE BEST OF MY LOVE
      O-O-O-OH SWEET DARLIN' you get the best of my love
      YOU GET THE BEST OF MY LOVE

   I'm goin' back in time and it's a sweet dream,
   it was a quiet night and I would be alright
   if I could go on sleeping.

But every mornin' I wake up and worry
what's gonna happen today.
You see it your way and I see it mine
but we both see it slippin' away.
You know we always had each other, baby, I guess that wasn't enough.
Oh, but here in my heart I give you the best of my love.

      O-O-O-OH SWEET DARLIN
      YOU GET THE BEST OF MY LOVE ( THE BEST OF MY LOVE )
      O-O-O-OH SWEET DARLIN
      YOU GET THE BEST OF MY LOVE ( THE BEST OF MY LOVE )
      O-O-O-OH SWEET DARLIN' every night and day
      YOU GET THE BEST OF MY LOVE ( THE BEST OF MY LOVE )
      O-O-O-OH SWEET DARLIN' oo-oo-oo-oo oo-oh
      YOU GET THE BEST OF MY LOVE ( THE BEST OF MY LOVE )
      O-O-O-OH SWEET DARLIN
      YOU GET THE BEST OF MY LOVE (THE BEST OF MY LOVE)
      O-O-O-OH SWEET DARLIN' you get the best of my love
      YOU GET THE BEST OF MY LOVE (THE BEST OF MY LOVE)
      O-O-O-OH SWEET DARLIN' mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
      YOU GET THE BEST OF MY LOVE (THE BEST OF MY LOVE)
      O-O-O-OH SWEET DARLIN' you got it
      YOU GET THE BEST OF MY LOVE (fade)
