1. BACK IN THE U.S.A.

Oh well oh well I feel so good today
We just touched ground on an international runway
Jet-propelled back home from overseas to the USA

New York, Los Angeles
Oh how I yearn for you
Detroit, Chicago, Chattanooga, Baton Rouge
God I long to be at my home back in old St Lou

Did I miss the skyscrapers
Did I miss the long freeway
From the coast of California
To the shores of the Delaware Bay
You can bet your life I did
Till I got back to the USA

Looking hard for a drive-in
Searching for a corner cafe
Where hamburgers sizzle on an open grill night and day
Yeah, and the jukebox jumping with records back in the USA

I'm so glad I'm living in the USA
Yes I'm so glad I'm living in the USA
Anything you want we got it right here in the USA

Ah we're so glad we're living in the USA
Yes we're so glad we're living in the USA
Anything you want we got it right here in the USA

Ah we're so glad
We're so glad
Ah we're so glad
We're so glad


2. WHEN I GROW TOO OLD TO DREAM

We have been gay
Going our way
Life has been beautiful
We have been young
After you've gone
Life will go on
Like an old song we have sung

When I grow too old to dream
I'll have you to remember
When I grow too old to dream
Your love will live in my heart

So kiss me my sweet
And so let us part
And when I grow too old to dream
That kiss will live in my heart

And when I grow too old to dream
Your love will live in my heart
Oh your love will live in my heart


3. JUST ONE LOOK

Just one look and I fell so hard
In love with you Oh Oh

I found out how good it feels
To have your love Oh Oh

Say you will, will be mine
Forever and always Oh Oh

Just one look and I knew
That you were my only one Oh Oh

I thought I was dreaming
But I was wrong Oh yeah yeah
Ah but I'm gonna keep on scheming
Till I make you, make you my own

So you see I really care
Without you I'm nothing Oh Oh
Just one look and I know
I'll get you someday Oh Oh

Just one look
That's all it took hah just one look
That's all it took woah just one look
That's all it woah baby you know I love you baby
I'll build my world around you come on baby


4. ALISON

Well it's so funny to be seeing you after so long girl
Ah but the way you look I understand that you are not impressed
But I heard you let that little friend of mine
Take off your party dress
I'm not gonna get too sentimental like those other sticky valentines
'Cause I don't know if you were loving somebody
I only hope he wasn't mine

Alison, I know this world is killing you
Oh Alison, my aim is true

Well I see you've got a husband now
Well did he leave your pretty fingers lying in the wedding cake
You used to hold him right in your hand
Ah but he took all he could take

Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking
When I hear the silly things that you say
I think somebody better put out the big light
'Cause I can't stand to see you this way

Alison, I know this world is killing you
Oh Alison, my aim is true
My aim is true
My aim is true
My aim is true


5. WHITE RHYTHM & BLUES

I don't want you to hold me tight
Till you're mine to hold
And I don't even want you to stay all night
Just until the moon turns cold

All I need is black roses
White rhythm and blues
And somebody who cares when you lose
Black roses, white rhythm and blues

You say that somebody really loves you
You'd find her if you just knew how
But honey, everyone in the whole wide world
Is probably asleep by now

And they're dreaming of
Black roses, white rhythm and blues
And somebody who cares when you lose
Black roses, white rhythm and blues

Close your eyes
Sleep away all your blues
I've done everything but lie
Now I don't know what else I can do

Ah, the night time sighs and I hear myself
But the words just stick in my throat
Would you think that somebody like me
Might hurt much more than it shows

Just send me black roses
White rhythm and blues
And somebody who cares when you lose
Black roses, white rhythm and blues
Black roses, white rhythm and blues


6. ALL THAT YOU DREAM

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 through shining silver lining clouds
Clouds change the scene
Rain starts washing all those cautions into your life
Makes you realize just what is true
What else can you do
Just follow the rules
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 times were ours
In the land of milk and honey
Time, time adds its scars
Rainy days they turn to sunny ones
Living the life, living the life, loving everyone

I've been down but not like this before
Can't be 'round this kind of show no more
I've been down but not like this before
Can't be 'round this kind of show no more


7. OOH BABY BABY

I did you wrong
My heart went out to play
And in the game I lost you
What a price to pay
I'm crying
Ooh baby baby
Ooh baby baby

Mistakes, I've know I've made a few
But I'm only human
You've made mistakes too
I'm crying
Ooh baby baby
Ooh baby baby

I'm just about at
The end of my rope
But I can't stop trying
I can't give up hope
'Cause I'll be here
Someday I'll hold you near
Whisper I still love you
Until that day is here
Ooh I'm crying
Ooh baby baby
Ooh baby baby
Ooh baby baby
Ooh baby baby
Oo-oo-oo-ooh


8. MOHAMMED'S RADIO

Everybody's restless
And they got no place to go
Someone's always trying to tell them
Something they already know
So their anger and resentment flow

Don't it make you want to rock and roll
All night long
Mohammed's radio
I heard somebody singing sweet and soulful
On the radio
Mohammed's radio

You know the sheriff's got his problems too
And he will surely take them out on me and you
In walks the village idiot and her face is all aglow
Because she's been up all night listening to
Mohammed's radio

Don't it make you want to rock and roll
All night long
Mohammed's radio
I heard somebody singing sweet and soulful
On the radio
Mohammed's radio

Everybody's desperate
Trying to make ends meet
Work all day still can't pay
The price of gasoline and meat
Alas their lives are incomplete

Don't it make you want to rock and roll
All night long
Mohammed's radio
I heard somebody singing sweet and soulful
On the radio
Mohammed's radio

You've been up all night just listening for his drum
Hoping that the righteous might just might just might just might just come
I heard the general whispering to his aide de camp
Be watchful for Mohammed's lamp

Don't it make you want to rock and roll
All night long
Mohammed's radio
I heard somebody singing sweet and soulful
On the radio
Mohammed's radio

Mohammed's radio


9. BLOWING AWAY

I've been romanced dined and danced
Crazy nights and wild times
But my life has lost its mystery
Love is blind and it cannot find me

I'm blowing away
Shadows take my love and leave
I'm blowing away
Shadows keep taking my love and leaving me

And I have cast aside my foolish pride
And I'm going down for the last time
And I have searched this earth
And I've sailed these seas
Love is blind and it cannot find me

I'm blowing away
Shadows take my love and leave
I'm blowing away
Shadows keep taking my love and leaving me
You keep taking my love and leaving me


10. LOVE ME TENDER

Love me tender
Love me true
Take me to your heart
For it's there that I belong
And we'll never part

Love me tender
Love me true
All my dreams fulfill
For my darling I love you
And I always will

Love me tender
Love me long
Tell me you are mine
For it's there that I belong
Till the end of time

Love me tender
Love me true
All my dreams fulfill
For my darling I love you
And I always will

Love me tender
Love me true
All my dreams fulfill
For my darling I love you
And I always will
