Tobacco Road 

I was born in a dump
Mama died and my daddy got drunk
He left me there to die or grow
In this place called Tobacco Road

I grew up in a rusty shack
All I own was hangin' on my back
Lord knows how I loathe
This place called Tobacco Road

But it's home, yeah
The only life that I've ever known
I used to livin' that way, baby, and it's price of you
But I Love you 'cause you're my own

I'm gonna leave get a job
With the help and grace from above
Save my money get rich I know
In this place called Tobacco Road

Bring Dynamite and a crane
Blow it up and start all over again
Build a town I'll be proud to show
And keep the name of Tobacco Road

But it's home
The only life that I've ever known
I used to livin' that way, and it's price of you
But I Love you 'cause you're my own

Tobacco Road, Tobacco Road, Tobacco Road

Better By You Better Than Me You can find a way to be my passion You listen to the blood flowin' in my vein You hear the teaching of the wind Tell her what I'm like within I can't find the words my mind is dim It's better by you better than me Guess you'll have to tell her how I tried To speak the thoughts of hell so long inside Tell her now I've got to go Fight in the streets and guide the sword Tell her the world's not much fallin' for It's better by you better than me It's better by you better than me You can tell her what I want it to be You can say what I only can see It's better by you better than me Guess I'll have to change my way of livin' Only really know the way I've been Guess I'll lean to fight and kill Tell her not to wait until Finds my blood upon her window sill It's better by you better than me It's better by you better than me You can tell her what I want it to be You can say what I only can see It's better by you better than me It's better by you better than me You can say what I can see You can tell her what I want it to be It's better by you better than me It's better by you You know better than me Yeah you can say what I only can see

Waitin' For The Wind Lonely is the night Now that darkness has fallin' Nothing seems right And the world is callin' Everybody's looking back As the wind comes whispering by The're waitin' for the answers then Like the time they heard a cry Hang on Don't ever go Life's here I know Wind called on me How it took me by surprise Cause night come upon me Creeping through the distant skies Wind tell me what you can 'Bout the life - what I came from A breeze blew and whispered then In a voice rich as the sun Hang on Don't ever go Life's here I know

That Was Only Yesterday Guess I'll have to get out of this town No sense in my waiting around Only thing left for me here is pain She's gone for sure now why pretend Left last night with a friend Leaving not a word that would explain That was only yesterday But will I ever face tomorrow She took away what I'd had And returned it full of sorrow That was only yesterday Will I ever face tomorrow She took away what I'd had And returned it full of sorrow I think I better find somewhere A place where I won't care I need some time to hide my shame Was only just one day ago Found what I'd been searching for Had left town on a late night train And that was only yesterday But will I ever face tomorrow She took away what I'd had And returned it full of sorrow That was only yesterday Will I ever face tomorrow She took away what I'd had And returned it full of sorrow That was only yesterday Will I ever face tomorrow She took away what I'd had And returned it full of sorrow!

Self Seeking Man If there's any justice in the world Then there's something I've got to say For all the fools who fend for themselves For you it's dying day I've been done out of my money and wealth And I'm sitting on square one Trying to get my head together Waiting for the sun I tried so hard to win Sometimes I'd gamble my own life And anyone who crossed my path Would never cross it twice I'd take until there was nothing left But the odds turned on me Now I'm down and out again Deep in misery I've been a self-seeking man Self-seeking man Self-seeking man Who lived for himself Who wound up the fool And got nothing for it I've been done out of my money and wealth And I'm sitting on square one Trying to get my head together Waiting for the sun I've been a self-seeking man Self-seeking man Self-seeking man Who lived for himself Who wound up the fool And got nothing for it

Times Have Changed Times have changed, It's plain to see Things just aren't like they used to be Blink your eyes and life may pass you by Too much happening to wonder why. The past has gone and future's come Like a stranger at your door Yet all the people carry on Their ways of living And the sins they left behind All seem forgiven. Times have changed It's plain to see Things just aren't like they used to be Never ending changes near and far Makes you wonder really who you are They've changed it all We're not so small Like we used to be. Yesterday the future was a dream Now that dream is just a passing thing Your spirit cries you must realise (sic) There are greater things to come All the people carry on their ways of living And the sins left behind All seem forgiven.

As Long As The World Keeps Turning You said I've been waiting outside your door Biding my time hoping soon I might be recognized Sometimes you leave without even a glance Passing me by like I don't set a chance Only a smile would make all of my waiting worthwhile Chorus: For as long as the world keeps turning My fire will keep on burning For your love For your love Maybe I'm searching for what I can find Maybe your difference and what's in my mind Oh, but nevertheless a feeling just can't be denied Chorus I can't sleep at night No, I can't eat a bite I can't run I can't hide Without you I might die

The Weight I pulled into Nazareth, was feeling 'bout half past dead I just need some place where I can lay my head Hey mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed? He just grinned and shook my hand, No was all he said Take a load off, Fanny Take a load for free Take a load off, Fanny And you put the load right on me Go down Miss Moses, there's nothing you can say It's just old Luke, and Luke's waiting on the judgement day ``Well, Luke my friend, what about young Anna-Lee?'' He said ``Do me a favour son, won't you stay and keep Anna-Lee company?'' Take a load off, Fanny Take a load for free Take a load off, Fanny And you put the load right on me Catch a cannonball now to take me down the line My bag is sinking low and I do believe it's time To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one Who sent me here with her regards for everyone Take a load off, Fanny Take a load for free Take a load off, Fanny And you put the load right on me
