1. TONIGHT’S THE NIGHT

Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night

Bruce Berry was a working man
He used to load that econoline van
A sparkle was in his eye
But his life was in his hands

Well, late at night when the people were gone
He used to pick up my guitar
And sing a song in a shaky voice
That was real as the day was long

Tonight's the night, yes it is, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, yes it is, tonight's the night

Early in the morning at the break of day
He used to sleep until the afternoon
If you never heard him sing
I guess you won't too soon

'Cause people let me tell you
It sent a chill up and down my spine
When I picked up the telephone
And heard that he'd died out on the mainline

Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night

Bruce Berry was a working man
He used to load that econoline van
Well, early in the morning at just about the break of day
He used to sleep until the afternoon

Tonight's the night, yes it is, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, tonight's the night


2. SPEAKING OUT

I went to the movie the other night
The plot was groovy, it was out of sight
I sat with my popcorn, out looking for good times
Lost in the cartoon
I grabbed the lifeline

I've been a searcher
I've been a fool
But I've been a long time coming to you
I'm hoping for your love to carry me through
You're holding my baby, and I'm holding you
And it's all right

Oh, tell me where the answer lies
Is it in the notebook behind your eyes
When your decision comes to view
I'll be watching my TV, and it'll be watching you

I've been a searcher
I've been a fool
But I've been a long time coming to you
I'm hoping for your love to carry me through
You're holding my baby, and I'm holding you
Yes I am.

Speaking out


3. WORLD ON A STRING

You know I lose, you know I win
You know I call for the shape I'm in
It's just a game you see me play
Only real in the way
That I feel from day to day

Although the answer is not unknown
I'm searching, searching and how I've grown
It's not all right to say goodbye
And the world on a string
Doesn't mean a thing

No, the world on a string
Doesn't mean a thing
It's only real in the way
That I feel from day to day
No, the world on a string
Doesn't mean a thing


4. BORROWED TUNE

I'm climbin' this ladder
My head in the clouds
I hope that it matters
I'm havin' my doubts

I'm watchin' the skaters
Fly by on the lake
Ice frozen six feet deep
How long does it take

I look out on peaceful lands
With no war nearby
An ocean of shakin' hands
That grab at the sky

I'm singin' this borrowed tune
I took from the Rolling Stones
Alone in this empty room
Too wasted to write my own

I'm climbin' this ladder
My heads in the clouds
I hope that it matters


5. COME ON BABY LET’S GO DOWNTOWN

Come on, baby, let's go downtown
Let's go, let's go, let's go downtown
Come on, baby, let's go downtown
Let's go, let's go, let's go downtown

Walk on, talk on, baby tell no lies
Don't you be caught with a tear in your eye

Sure enough, they'll be sellin' stuff
When the moon begins to rise
Pretty bad when you're dealin' with the man
And the light shines in your eyes

Come on, baby, let's go downtown
Let's go, let's go, let's go downtown
Come on, baby, let's go downtown
Let's go, let's go, let's go downtown

Snake eyes, French fries and I got lots of gas
Full moon and a jumpin' tune
Now you don't have to ask

Sure enough, they'll be sellin' stuff
When the moon begins to rise
Pretty bad when you're dealin' with the man
And the light shines in your eyes

Come on, baby, let's go downtown
Let's go, let's go, let's go downtown
Come on, baby, let's go downtown
Let's go, let's go
let's go downtown

Walk on, talk on, baby tell no lies.
Don't you be caught with a tear in your eye.

Sure enough, they'll be sellin' stuff
When the moon begins to rise
Pretty bad when you're dealin' with the man
And the light shines in your eyes

Pretty bad when you're dealin' with the man
And the light shines in your eyes


6. MELLOW MY MIND

Baby mellow my mind
Make me feel like a schoolboy on good time
Jugglin' nickels and dimes
Satisfied with the fish on the line

I've been down the road and I've come back
Lonesome whistle on the railroad track
Ain't got nothing on those feelings that I had

Something so hard to find
A situation that can casualize your mind

I've been down the road and I've come back
Lonesome whistle on the railroad track
Ain't got nothing on those feelings that I had

Baby mellow my mind
Make me feel like a schoolboy on good time
Jugglin' nickels and dimes
Satisfied with the fish on the line


7. ROLL ANOTHER NUMBER

It's too dark to put the keys in my ignition,
And the mornin' sun is yet to climb my hood ornament.
But before too long I might
see those flashing red lights
Look out, mama, 'cause I'm comin' home tonight.

Think I'll roll another number for the road,
I feel able to get under any load.
Though my feet aren't on the ground,
I been standin' on the sound
Of some open-hearted people goin' down.

I'm not goin' back to Woodstock for a while,
Though I long to hear that lonesome hippie smile.
I'm a million miles away from that helicopter day
No, I don't believe
I'll be goin' back that way.

Think I'll roll another number for the road,
I feel able to get under any load.
Though my feet aren't on the ground,
I been standin' on the sound
Of some open-hearted people goin' down.


8. ALBUQUERQUE

Well, they say that Santa Fe
Is less than ninety miles away
And I got time to roll a number and rent a car
Oh, Albuquerque

I've been flyin' down the road
And I've been starvin' to be alone
And independent from the scene that I've known
Albuquerque

So I'll stop when I can
Find some fried eggs and country ham
I'll find somewhere where they don't care who I am
Oh, Albuquerque
Albuquerque


9. NEW MAMA

(Instrumental)


10. LOOKOUT JOE

A hip drag queen and a side-walkin' street wheeler
Comin' down the avenue
They're all your friends, you'll come to love them
There's a load of them waitin' for you

Lookout Joe, you're comin' home
Old times were good times
Old times were good times

Remember Millie from down in Philly
She took my brain and forgot my name
The woman you were with was about the same
She took your money and left town

Lookout Joe, you're comin' home
Old times were good times
Old times were good times

Glory Hallelujah
Will I lay my burden down
Singin' on the streets around
Look at that crazy clown

Remember Bill from up on the hill
A Cadillac put a hole in his arm.
But old Bill, he's up there still,
Havin' a ball rollin' to the bottom.

Lookout Joe, you're comin' home.
Old times were good times,
Old times were good times.


11. TIRED EYES

Well he shot four men in a cocaine deal
And he left them lyin' in an open field
Full of old cars with bullet holes in the mirrors.
He tried to do his best but he could not.

Please take my advice
Please take my advice
Please take my advice
Open up the tired eyes
Open up the tired eyes

Well, it wasn't supposed to go down that way
But they burned his brother, you know
And they left him lying in the driveway
They let him down with nothing
He tried to do his best but he could not

Please take my advice
Please take my advice
Please take my advice
Open up the tired eyes
Open up the tired eyes

Well tell me more, tell me more, tell me more
I mean was he a heavy doper or was he just a loser
He was a friend of yours
What do you mean, he had bullet holes in his mirrors
He tried to do his best but he could not

Please take my advice
Please take my advice
Please take my advice
Open up the tired eyes
Open up the tired eyes

Please take my advice
Please take my advice
Please take my advice
Open up the tired eyes
Open up the tired eyes
