1. GOOD TO SEE YOU

Good to see you
Good to see you again
Good to see your face again
Good to see you

I'm the suitcase in your hallway
I'm the footsteps on your floor
When I'm looking down on you
I feel like
I know what my life is for

Good to see you
Good to see you again
Good to see your face again
Good to see you

I've been down the endless highway
I've passed on the solid line
Now at last I'm home to you
I feel like making up for lost time

Good to see you
Good to see you again
Good to see your face again
It's good to see you


2. SILVER AND GOLD

Working hard every day
Never notice how the time slips away
People come, seasons go
We got something that'll never grow old

I don't care if the sun don't shine
And the rain keeps pouring down on me and mine
'Cause our kind of love never seems to get old
It's better than silver and gold

I used to have a treasure chest
Got so heavy that I had to rest
I let it slip away from me
Didn't need it anyway so I let it slip away

I don't care if the sun don't shine
And the rain keeps pouring down on me and mine
'Cause our kind of love never seems to get old
It's better than silver and gold

I don't care if the sun don't shine
And the rain keeps pouring down on me and mine
'Cause our kind of love never seems to get old
It's better than silver and gold


3. DADDY WENT WALKIN’

My old dad went a walkin' one day
Pushing tall weeds right outta his way
My old dad went a walkin' one day
Hey now, hey now

Corduroy pants and an old plaid shirt
Daddy went a walkin' just to feel the earth
Got a little dirty but that's all right
Hey now, hey now

Old man crossin' the road
You've got to let him go
Old man crossin' the road
He's feelin' fine

Daddy went a ridin' in his old car
Took the dog with him 'cause it ain't too far
Daddy went ridin' in his old car
Hey now, hey now

Brown leather boots and an old straw hat
Daddy's getting wood with the barnyard cat
Got a little dirty but that's all right
Hey now, hey now

Old man crossin' the road
You've got to let him go
Old man crossin' the road
He's feelin' fine

Mama's waiting at the top of the hill
They'll be laughing, oh the stories they'll tell
When he holds her in his arms again
They'll be sweethearts with time on their hands

My old dad went a walkin' one day
Pushing tall weeds right outta his way
My old dad went a walkin' one day
Hey now, hey now

Corduroy pants and an old plaid shirt
Daddy went a walkin' just to feel the earth
Got a little dirty but that's all right
Hey now, hey now

Daddy went a ridin' in his old car
Took the dog with him 'cause it ain't too far
Daddy went ridin' in his old car
Hey now, hey now

Brown leather boots and an old straw hat
Daddy's getting wood with the barnyard cat
Got a little dirty but that's all right
Hey now, hey now


4. BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD AHAIN

Used to play in a rock 'n' roll band
But they broke up
We were young and we were wild
It ate us up
Now I'm not saying who was right or wrong

Looking out on a big green lawn
Girls and boys
Playing in the afternoon sun
Life's a joy
I heard an old song playing on the radio

Buffalo Springfield again

I'd like to see those guys again
And give it a shot
Maybe now we can show the world
What we've got
But I'd just like to play for the fun we had

Buffalo Springfield again
Buffalo Springfield again


5. GREAT DIVIDE

In the canyons of the great divide
Familiar places that we can run and hide
Are filled with strangers
Walking in our houses alone

In the great divide
Nothing to decide
No one else to care for or love
In the great divide
You won't fit in too well

On the horses of the carousel
She rides alone with you and me
She rides like she knows
Wherever she goes, we'll be there

On the carousel
Life is going well
Anyone can tell, we're in love
On the Carousel
You're gonna like the way you feel

You and I we got caught down there
In the twisted canyons of the great divide
We walked the floor
Now we don't go there anymore

In the great divide
Nothing to decide
No one else to care for or love
In the great divide
You don't fit in too well

In the great divide
Nothing to decide
No one else to care for or love
In the great divide
You won't fit in too well


6. HORSESHOE MAN

In the land of the broken hearted
People looking for the horseshoe man
They've been picking up little pieces
They've been putting them all in his hand

And the way the story started
Two lovers long ago
Took a vow to live with hearbreak
Took a chance, but how could they know love?

How could they know love
Love
How could they know love

Horseshoe man's been working his magic
Fixing heartbreak everywhere
He's the one we all can count on
When we're lost and don't know where love is

He takes the pieces in his hands
And shakes them up like he doesn't care
He says that there will always be heartbreak
Because love is everywhere

Love, I don't know about love
Love, I don't know

Love don't care if you're wrong or right
Love don't know if you're black or white
Love ain't looking for perfection
Love's the answer, love's the question

Love, I don't know about love
Love, I don't know

Love, I don't know about love
Love, I don't know about love


7. RED SUN

When the red sun sets on the railroad town
And the bars begin to laugh with a happy sound
I'll still be here right by your side
There'll not be anyone in my heart but you

And the dreams that you're having, they won't let you down
If you just follow on 'cause you know where you're bound
The well will be flowing and the words will come fast
When the one who is coming arrives here at last

On the grassy hills of the railroad town
Where we cut through the fences and over the crown
Where wind was blowing right through your hair
I dreamt that my Momma and Daddy were there

And the dreams that you're having, they won't let you down
If you just follow on 'cause you know where you're bound
The well will be flowing
and the words will come fast
When the one who is coming arrives here at last

When the red sun sets on the railroad town
And bars begin to laugh with the happy sound
I'll still be here right by your side
There'll not be another in my heart but you


8. DISTANT CAMERA

The flash of a distant camera reconnecting thoughts and actions
Fragments of our missing dreams
Pieces from here and there fall in place along the line
Disappearing between you and me

Life is changing everywhere I go
New things and old both disappear
If life is a photograph
Fading in the mirror

All I want is a song of love
Song of love to sing for you.
All I need is this song of love
To sing for you.

On the floor where daylight dances
With the ones that missed their chances
When they couldn't let it show
Lies the land of sweet surrender,
Like a dream it might have ended there, but we didn't even know.

Now forever we will live as one
Floating in love's atmosphere.
If love is a piece of dust
Shining in the sun

All I want is a song of love
Song of love to sing for you.
All I need is this song of love
To sing for you.

Song of love
Song of love


9. RAZOR LOVE

I got to bet that your old man
Became fascinated with his own plan
Turned you loose, your mama too
There wasn't a thing that you could do.

But I got faith in you,
It's a razor love that cuts clean through.
I got faith in you,
It's a razor love that cuts clean through.

You really made my day
With the little things you say

Looking through the window at a silhouette
Trying to find something
I can't find yet
Imagination is my best friend
Got to look out for the greedy hand, greedy hand
Make a living like a rolling stone
On the road there's no place like home
Silhouettes on the window.

Who was it made your eyes flicker like that
Tell me baby, how'd you get the knack
You came to me with open arms
And I really took you down the track

Now all I've got for you,
Is the kind of love that cuts clean through.
All I got for you is razor love
It cuts clean through.

You really made my day
With the little things you say

Now I'm looking through the window at a silhouette
Trying to find something
I can't find yet
Imagination is my best friend
Got to watch out for the greedy hand, greedy hand
Make a living like a rolling stone
On the road there's no place like home
Silhouettes on the window.

You really make my day
With the little things you say.


10. WITHOUT RINGS

Someone's hanging out
We can't forget about.
Things that people do when they're free.
Like visitors from space
It's hard to find a place
To blend in and go unrecognized.

I'm waiting for a sign,
I'm standing on the road,
My mind outstretched to you.
I'm picking something up
I'm letting something go
Like a dog I'm fetching this for you.

Pictures in mind:
Rows of poppy fields,
Harmony entwined,
Changing gears that grind.
Pictures in my mind.

Pictures in my brain:
Electrical energy,
Fighting drugs with pain,
There's a war inside.
Pictures in my brain.

I'm looking for a job,
I don't know what I'm doing,
My software's not compatible with you.
But this I can't deny,
I know that you can fly,
'Cause I'm here on the ground without you.

Angel without wings,
Owner without things,
Sharpshooter without rings around you.
The road we used to ride,
Together side by side
Has flowers pushing through the dotted line
