    Midnight, gettin' uptight
    Where are you?
    You said you'd meet me, now it's quarter to two
    I know I'm hangin' but I'm still wantin' you
    Hey, Jack- it's a fact they're talkin' in town
    I turn my back and you're messin' around
    I'm not really jealous- don't like lookin' like a clown

    I think of you every night and day
    You took my heart and you took my pride away...

    Refrain:
    I hate myself for loving you
    Can't break free from the things that you do
    I wanna walk but I run back to you
    That's why I hate myself for lovin' you

    Cold was the night and hard was the ground
    They found her in a small grove of trees
    And lonesome was the place where Georgia was found
    She's too young to be out on the street
    Why wasn't God watching?
    Why wasn't God listening?
    Why wasn't God there
    For Georgia Lee?
    Ida said she couldn't keep Georgia from dropping out of school
    I was doing the best that I could
    Oh, but she just kept running away from this world
    These children are so hard to raise good
    Why wasn't God watching?
    Why wasn't God listening?
    Why wasn't God there
    For Georgia Lee?
    Close your eyes and count to ten
    I will go and hide but then
    Be sure to find me, I want you to find me
    And we'll play all over
    We'll play all over
    We'll play all over
    Again
    There's a toad in the witch grass, there's a crow in the corn
    Wild flowers on a cross by the road
    And somewhere a baby is crying for her mom
    As the hills turn from green back to gold
    And why wasn't God watching?
    Why wasn't God listening?
    Why wasn't God there
    For Georgia Lee?
    Why wasn't God watching?
    Why wasn't God listening?
    And why wasn't God there
    For Georgia Lee?

    Old pirates, yes, they rob I
    Sold I to the merchant ships
    Minutes after they took I
    From the bottomless pit
    But my hand was made strong
    By the hand of the Almighty
    We forward in this generation
    Triumphantly
    Won't you help to sing
    These songs of freedom?
    'Cause all I ever have
    Redemption songs
    Redemption songs
    Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
    None but ourselves can free our minds
    Have no fear for atomic energy
    'Cause none of them can stop the time
    How long shall they kill our prophets
    While we stand aside and look? Ooh
    Some say it's just a part of it
    We've got to fulfill the Book
    Won't you help to sing
    These songs of freedom?
    'Cause all I ever have
    Redemption songs
    Redemption songs
    Redemption songs
    Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery
    None but ourselves can free our minds
    Wo! Have no fear for atomic energy
    'Cause none of them-a can-a stop-a the time
    How long shall they kill our prophets
    While we stand aside and look?
    Yes, some say it's just a part of it
    We've got to fulfill the book
    Won't you have to sing
    These songs of freedom?
    'Cause all I ever had
    Redemption songs
    All I ever had
    Redemption songs
    These songs of freedom
    Songs of freedom

    When you're falling awake
    And you take stock of the new day
    And you hear your voice croak
    As you choke on what you need to say
    Well, don't you fret, don't you fear
    I will give you good cheer
    Life's a long song
    Life's a long song
    Life's a long song
    If you wait then your plate I will fill
    As the verses unfold
    and your soul suffers the long day
    And the twelve o'clock gloom
    Spins the room, you struggle on your way
    Well, don't you sigh, don't you cry
    Lick the dust from your eye
    Life's a long song
    Life's a long song
    Life's a long song
    We will meet in the sweet light of dawn
    As the Baker Street train spills your pain
    All over your new dress
    And the symphony sounds
    underground puts you under duress
    Well, don't you squeal as the heel
    Grinds you under the wheels
    Life's a long song
    Life's a long song
    Life's a long song
    But the tune ends too soon for us all

    Call Me The Breeze - JJ Cale

    Call me the breeze
    I keep blowin' down the road
    Well now, they call me the breeze
    I keep blowin' down the road
    I ain't got me nobody
    I don't carry me no load
    Ain't no change in the weather
    Ain't no changes in me
    Well, there ain't no change in the weather
    Ain't no changes in me
    And I ain't hidin' from nobody
    Nobody's hidin' from me
    Oh, that's the way its supposed to be
    Well, I got that green light, baby
    I got to keep movin' on
    Well, I got that green light, baby
    I got to keep movin' on
    Well, I might go out to California
    Might go down to Georgia, I don't know
    Well, I dig you Georgia peaches
    Makes me feel right at home
    Well now, I dig you Georgia peaches
    Makes me feel right at home
    But I don't love me no one woman
    So I can't stay in Georgia long
    Well now, they call me the breeze
    I keep blowin' down the road
    Well now, they call me the breeze
    I keep blowin' down the road
    I ain't got me nobody
    I don't carry me no load
    Ooh, Mr. Breeze

    A Pirate Looks At 40

    Mother, mother ocean, I have heard you call
    Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
    You've seen it all, you've seen it all
    Watched the men who rode you switch from sails to steam
    And in your belly you hold the treasures few have ever seen
    Most of them dream, most of them dream
    Yes I am a pirate, two hundred years too late
    The cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder
    I'm an over-forty victim of fate
    Arriving too late, arriving too late
    I've done a bit of smuggling, I've run my share of grass
    I made enough money to buy Miami, but I pissed it away so fast
    Never meant to last, never meant to last
    And I have been drunk now for over two weeks
    I passed out and I rallied and I sprung a few leaks
    But I got stop wishing, got to go fishing, down to rock bottom again
    Just a few friends, just a few friends
    I go for younger women, lived with several a while
    Though I ran them away, they'd come back one day
    Still could manage to smile
    Just takes a while, just takes a while
    Mother, mother ocean, after all the years I've found
    My occupational hazard being my occupation's just not around
    I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown
    I feel like I've drowned, gonna head uptown

    Calling Elvis

    Is anybody home?
    Calling Elvis
    I'm here all alone
    Did he leave the building?
    Or can he come to the phone?
    Calling Elvis
    I'm here all alone
    Well tell him I was calling
    Just to wish him well
    Let me leave my number
    Heartbreak hotel
    Oh love me tender
    Baby, don't be cruel
    Return to sender
    Treat me like a fool

    I'm here all alone
    Alright
    Why don't you go get him?
    I'm his biggest fan
    You gotta tell him
    He's still the man
    Long distance, baby
    So far from home
    Don't you think maybe
    You could put him on
    Tell him I was calling
    Just to wish him well
    Let me leave my number
    Heartbreak Hotel
    Oh, love me tender
    Baby, don't be cruel

    Here all alone
    Did he leave the building?
    Or can he come to the phone?
    Calling Elvis
    I'm here all alone

    Smooth Operator

    Diamond life, lover boy
    He move in space with minimum waste and maximum joy
    City lights and business nights
    When you require streetcar desire for higher heights
    No place for beginners or sensitive hearts
    When sentiment is left to chance
    No place to be ending but somewhere to start
    No need to ask, he's a smooth operator
    Smooth operator, smooth operator
    Smooth operator
    Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male
    Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale
    Face to face, each classic case
    We shadow box and double cross
    Yet need the chase
    A license to love, insurance to hold
    Melts all your memories and change into gold
    His eyes are like angels but his heart is cold
    No need to ask, he's a smooth operator
    Smooth operator, smooth operator
    Smooth operator
    Coast to coast, LA to Chicago, western male
    Across the north and south, to Key Largo, love for sale
    Smooth operator, smooth operator
    Smooth operator, smooth operator
    Smooth operator, smooth operator
    Smooth operator, smooth operator
    Smooth operator, smooth operator

    I've been down, but not like this before
    Can't be 'round this kind of show no more
    All, all that you dream
    Comes to shine in silver lining
    And clouds, clouds change the scene
    Rain starts washing all these cautions
    Right into your life, make you realize
    Just what is true, what else can I do
    Just follow the rule
    Keep your eyes on the road that's ahead of you
    I've been down, but not like this before
    Can't be 'round this kind of show no more
    All of the good, good times were ours
    In the land of milk and honey
    And time, time has its scars
    Rainy days they turn to sunny ones
    Livin' the life, livin' the life lovin' everyone
    I've been down, but not like this before
    Can't be 'round this kind of show no more

    A boy is born in hard time Mississippi
    Surrounded by four walls that ain't so pretty
    His parents give him love and affection
    To keep him strong moving in the right direction
    Living just enough, just enough for the city
    His father works some days for fourteen hours
    And you can bet he barely makes a dollar
    His mother goes to scrub the floors for many
    And you'd best believe she hardly gets a penny
    Living just enough, just enough for the city yeah
    His sister's black but she is sho 'nuff pretty
    Her skirt is short but Lord her legs are sturdy
    To walk to school she's got to get up early
    Her clothes are old but never are they dirty
    Living just enough, just enough for the city
    Her brother's smart he's got more sense than many
    His patience's long but soon he won't have any
    To find a job is like a haystack needle
    'Cause where he lives they don't use colored people
    Living just enough, just enough for the city
    Just enough for the city
    Living for the city
    Just enough for the city
    Enough for the city
    Just enough for the city
    Living for the city
    Just enough for the city
    Enough for the city
    Just enough for the city
    Living for
    Just enough for the city
    Living for the city
    Just enough for the city
    Just enough for the city
    For the city
    Just enough for the city
    For the city
    Just enough for the city
    For the city
    Just enough for the city
    For the city

    At home drawing pictures
    Of mountain tops
    With him on top
    Lemon yellow sun
    Arms raised in a V
    Dead lay in pools of maroon below
    Daddy didn't give attention
    Oh, to the fact that mommy didn't care
    King Jeremy the wicked
    Oh, ruled his world
    Jeremy spoke in class today
    Jeremy spoke in class today
    Clearly I remember
    Pickin' on the boy
    Seemed a harmless little f**k
    But we unleashed the lion
    Gnashed his teeth and bit the recessed lady's breast
    How could I forget
    And he hit me with a surprise left
    My jaw left hurting
    Dropped wide open
    Just like the day
    Oh like the day I heard
    Daddy didn't give affection
    And the boy was something that mommy wouldn't wear
    King Jeremy the wicked
    Ruled his world
    Jeremy spoke in class today
    Jeremy spoke in class today
    Jeremy spoke in class today
    Try to forget this (try to forget this)
    Try to erase this (try to erase this)
    From the blackboard
    Jeremy spoke in class today
    Jeremy spoke in class today
    Jeremy spoke in
    Spoke in
    Jeremy spoke in
    Spoke in
    Jeremy spoke in class today
    Uh uh uh uh (spoke in, spoke in, spoke in)
    (Spoke in)
    Uh uh uh uh (spoke in, spoke in, spoke in)
    Whoa oh (spoke in)
    (Spoke in, spoke in)
    Whoa oh (spoke in)
    Whoa oh (spoke in, spoke in, spoke in)
    Ah ah ah yeah
    Ah ah ah ah (spoke in, spoke in, spoke in)
    Yeah yeah ah ah ah (spoke in, spoke in, spoke in)
    Ah ah ah ah ah
