1. AFTER MIDNIGHT

After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang out
After midnight, we're gonna chug-a-lug and shout

We're gonna cause talk and suspicion
Give an exhibition
Find out what it is all about
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang out
After midnight, gonna shake your tambourine
After midnight, it's gonna be peaches and cream

We're gonna cause talk and suspicion
Give an exhibition
Find out what it is all about
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang out
After midnight, we're gonna let it all hang out


2. MAGNOLIA

Whip-poor-will's singing
Soft summer breeze
Makes me think of my baby

I left down in New Orleans
I left down in New Orleans
Magnolia, you sweet thing
You're driving me mad
Got to get back to you, babe

You're the best I ever had
You're the best I ever had
You whisper "Good morning"

So gently in my ear
I'm coming home to you, babe

I'll soon be there
I'll soon be therE


3. CRAZY MAMA

Crazy mama, where you been so long
Crazy mama, where you been so long

You've been hiding out, I know that's true

Crazy mama, I sure need you
Crazy mama, where you been so long

Standing on the corner, looking for you, baby
Standing on the corner, looking for you, baby
Lord mercy, I can not see, crazy mama coming back to me

Crazy mama, where you been so long


4. CALL ME THE BREEZE

They call me the breeze, I keep blowing down the road
They call me the breeze, I keep blowing down the road
I ain't got me nobody, I ain't carrying me no load

Ain't no change in the weather, ain't no change in me
Ain't no change in the weather, ain't no change in me

I ain't hidin' from nobody, ain't nobody hidin' from me
I got that green light, babe, I got to keep moving on
I got that green light, babe, I got to keep moving on
I might go out to California, might go down to Georgia, might stay home


5. LIES

You told me this, you told me that
You try to tell me, tell me where it's at
You said you loved me, I can see through that

Lies, lies, lies

You left me hangin', hangin' from a limb
You said you loved me, then you left with him
Lord, you did it to me, I see it in your eyes

Lies, lies, lies

Tell me baby, why you take my time
You get a thrill off playing with my mind
Lord, you did it to me, I see it in your eyes

Lies, lies, lies


6. CAJUN MOON

Cajun moon, where does your power lie
As you move across the southern sky
You took my babe way too soon
What have you done, Cajun moon

Someday babe, when you want your man
And you find him gone, just like the wind
Don't trouble your mind whatever you do
'Cause Cajun moon took him from you

When daylight fades, the night comes on
You can hear the silence of this song
Don't trouble your mind whatever you do
'Cause he got me like he got you


7. ROCK AND ROLL RECORDS

I make rock 'n' roll records
I sell 'em for a dime
I make my living and feed my children

All in good time
The blues they go for a quarter
Guaranteed to satisfy
It's a real funky deal

Don't let it pass you by
If your evening sun don't shine, my friend
Tell you what I'm gonna do I'm gonna hammer out this rhythm
Till I get right next to you


8. COCAINE

If you want to hang out, you've got to take her out, cocaine

If you want to get down, get down on the ground, cocaine
She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie, cocaine

If you got bad news, you want to kick them blues, cocaine
When your day is done and you got to run, cocaine
She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie, cocaine

If your thing is gone and you want to ride on, cocaine
Don't forget this fact, you can't get it back, cocaine
She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie, cocaine


9. HEY BABY

Hey baby, it's your time now
Hey baby, you made it somehow
Don't let nobody come and bring you down

Hey baby, you've got 'em on the run
You know, you've got 'em on the run

I know you, you have just begun
When you came into my life
My love, I thought I would die
There's never been nobody like you
You take away these blues

Hey baby, you're looking real good
You know, you're looking real good

You make the day a song like I knew you would
When you came into my life Lord, I thought I would die
I never met nobody like you
For telling my troubles to


10. DON'T CRY SISTER

Don't cry sister cry, it'll be alright, in the morning
Don't cry sister cry, everything'll be just fine
Don't cry sister cry, it'll be alright, I tell you no lie
Don't cry sister cry, don't do it, don't do it

When Old Man Trouble knocks on your door
Don't give him no key, he just wants more
He'll turn your life to misery
Kick you down, just like me

Don't cry sister cry, it'll be alright, in the morning
Don't cry sister cry, everything'll be just fine

If you woke downhearted and you feel so bad
Somebody wants something of nothing you had
Love don't come too easy, you see
A little bit of you and a little bit of me

Don't cry sister cry, don't do it, don't do it
Don't cry sister cry, everything'll be just fine

Everything'll be just fine
Everything'll be just fine

Don't cry sister cry, don't do it, don't do it
Don't cry sister cry, don't do it, don't do it


11. CARRY ON

If life's little downs they keep coming aroun
Carry on, carry on

With darkness all about, you want to scream and shout
Carry on, carry on

Don't cry baby, look at where you've been
Everybody knows you just need a friend
Please, please, please, if you're down on your knees
Carry on, carry on

Your head is full of doubt, you can't figure it out
Carry on, carry on

Between the time it takes to make all those mistakes
Carry on, carry on

It don't matter what you say or do
It just seems to work out if you want it to
Let out all the slack, take it off your back
Carry on, carry on

Let me bend your ear, never shed a tear
Carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on


12. MAMA DON'T

Yeah, Mama don't allow no guitar playing 'round here
Yeah, Mama don't allow no guitar playing 'round here
I don't care what mama don't allow I'll play my guitar anyhow

Mama don't allow no guitar playing 'round here
Hey, Mama don't allow no bass in this place

I don't care what mama don't allow
We're all gonna play all at the same time anyhow

Mama don't allow us all playing at the same time


13. DEVIL IN DISGUISE

From the California shore to New York City
The beat don't never stop
You can hear it on the radio anywhere you go

It's steady as the rhythm of a clock
It cuts through the noise of the city life
It won't seem to go away
It's the devil in disguise I tell you no lies

My fingers do the walking everyday
Yonder comes a young girl she wants to take a whirl

She thinks it's all a dream
She got rock and roll way down in her soul
She wants to know where's the limousine
Get up honey let your mama sit down
You're too young anyway

The devil in disguise give her the prize
Then you can carry her away
When the road I travel starts to unravel
Every which way it goes

The beat starts to press on my bullet proof vest
And my high turns out to be low
Give me my guitar I'm going to go far
Let me see it let me hold it in my hand

I'm the devil in disguise I tell you no lies
I'm playing in a rock 'n roll band


14. DOWNTOWN L.A.

Downtown L.A. is a depressing place

You can see young men with deep lines in their face
They could all be something if somebody cared
But nobody knows they're even down there
Old woman walking with a sack on her back
Picking up the garbage people put out back
Men down there trying to walk the line

Trading their soul for a bottle of wine
In the inner city it ain't no good
It's a long, long way from Hollywood
Bad kind of people got a hold of the street
They got something that the poor people need
At two in the morning they bust your head

Fat chance walking you'll end up dead
It' the law of the jungle with a gun and a knife
If you stay long enough you lose your life
Man down there he couldn't be lying
He was sleeping in the street and he couldn't keep from crying

Said he'd been there for twenty one years
Through the bars and the brawls and the blues and the tears
Prop up the front the back falls down
All around the canyons of L.A. town
When he asked me for a dollar I looked him in his face

Downtown L.A. is a depressing place


15. SHANGHAID

Hong Kong, Tokyo and Singapore
New York, Boston and Baltimore
They'll take you right down where you don't want to go
If you talk too fast and you walk too slow

Shanghaid, Shanghaid
Been locked up and Shanghaid
Shanghaid, Shanghaid
Been locked up and Shanghaid

I tried to live by the golden rule
Do unto others and they'll do unto you
Every time I get turned on I end up singing the same song

Shanghaid, Shanghaid
Been locked up and Shanghaid
Shanghaid, Shanghaid
Been locked up and Shanghaid

I was crossing the desert on a sunny day
I met two women that passed my way
They took me to a tent and they locked the door
And all they ever said was "More, more"

Shanghaid, Shanghaid
Been locked up and Shanghaid
Shanghaid, Shanghaid
Been locked up and Shanghaid

And I'm standing right here with my usual slack
Police got me for talking back
"You're out on the street, you'd better watch your step
If you talk too loud, now button your lip"

Shanghaid, Shanghaid
Been locked up and Shanghaid
Shanghaid, Shanghaid
Been locked up and Shanghaid

Sitting in a bar in West Berlin
Sipping on a glass that's low again
Talking to a woman I thought I knew
The lights went out and I did too

Shanghaid, Shanghaid
Been locked up and Shanghaid
Shanghaid, Shanghaid
Been locked up and Shanghaid


16. CHANGE YOUR MIND

I detect a side-effect of a complicated life
The edge is on, sharp as a knif

Underground tremor, stop it with a dime
Hey girl, call me if you change your mind

Contemplation, meditation, all that jive
Taking out the medicine just before sunrise

Underground tremor, stop it with a dime
Hey girl, call me if you change your mind

I just want to love you and that's a fact
I just want to tell you when we get back
You're just the kind of woman do a man all night
You're just the kind of woman that's a dynamite

Underground tremor, stop it with a dime
Hey girl, call me if you change your mind


17. LONESOME TRAIN

Lonesome train, ride all day
Lonesome train, ride all day
Since I lost my woman, I lost my way

Mr Conductor, where is this train bound
Mr Conductor, where is this train bound
Is it headed up, is it headed down
Lucky for me, I'm on the sunny side
Lucky for me, I'm on the sunny side
Since I lost my woman, it's a lonesome ride

Lonesome train, ride all day
Lonesome train, ride all day
Since I lost my woman, I lost my way


18. LONG WAY HOME

Early in the morning, about a quarter to four
Me and my girlfriend walkin' out the door
We're heading for the car and we got right in
And that's when I noticed the shape she was in
She turned to me and said right out
Let's steer it awhile, let's steer it about

Take the long way home, take the long way home
Make this night last

Well we drove down town and up in the woods
We drove around and around till I understood
I was holding the wheel, she was making out
And all this time I was driving about
She was fondling my hair and hugging my neck
And all I was thinking was, oh what the heck

Take the long way home, take the long way home
Make this night last

I was looking in the mirror and to my surprise
There was two big red lights shining in my eyes
I pull over and he drove alongside
And out of his car and up to my right
He looked at her and she looked at him
And the next thing I noticed he got right in

Take the long way home, take the long way home
Make this night last

Take the long way home, take the long way home
Take the long way home, take the long way home
Make this night last
