1. TATTOO'D LADY

Tattoo'd Lady,
Bearded baby,
They're my family.
When I was lonely,
Something told me, where,
I could always be.

Where I could,
Wish for pennies,
If we had any.
You'd meet me down,
At the shooting gallery.

Yes I'm a,
Fair ground baby.
Wonder what made me,
Fall for the pearly queen.

I spent my youth,
Under canvas roof,
As I roamed from town to town.

I'm not fooling,
When I say I got no schoolin',
Never like the class bell sound.

From the caravan,
I hear the fairground band,
Sounding good as they can be.

You know I can't be found,
But if you look around,
Tomorrow we'll be gone by dawn.
Alright...

Now hear it on the loud speaker say,
The fire eater is a real fine sight to see,
Yeah he's a death cheater,
Some kind of central heater,
Be sure to save a seat for me.

Let me tell you 'bout wicked Sadie,
She's no baby,
The law came,
And tried to close her sideshow down.
But soon she had the D.A. cheering,
The police chief wearing,
Her garter for a crown.

I spent my youth,
Under canvas roof,
As I roamed from town to town.

I'm not fooling,
When I say I got no schoolin',
Never like the school bell sound.

From the caravan,
I hear the fairground band,
Sounding good as they can be.

You know I can't be found,
But if you look around,
Tomorrow we'll be gone by dawn.
Yeahh...

Tattoo'd Lady,
Bearded baby,

Something told me, where,
I could always be.

If we had any.

2. CRADDLE ROCK


If I was a cradle, then you’d let me rock.
If I was a pony, then you’d let me trot.
If I was the atom, you'd split me into three.
But when I want to see you baby,
How come you lock your door on me!
Owww....

If I was a baby, you wouldn’t let me fall.
If I was an outlaw, you wouldn’t have me caught.
If I was a tiger, you wouldn’t have me caged.
If I was somebody else,
Then you would act your age!

You’ll miss out if you, leave me out of your,
Day and night, I been trying to make you see that.
Hear what I got to say,
It’s all about me and you!

If I was a blind-man, then you'd make me see.
If I was a deaf-man, you’d give me ears to hear.
If I was a lame-man, you’d give me legs to walk.
But if you were true to me baby,
Then listen when I talk.
Owww....

If I was a cradle, then you’d let me rock,
If I was a pony, then you’d let me trot.
If I was the atom, split me into three.
If I want to see you baby,
Don’t you lock your door on me!


3. 20/20 VISION

People talk about her like she was a diamond on the shelf.

Well, I got 20/20 vision, I can see that for myself.
I got a high steppin' baby, you know she's really about as good as gold.

Enough to keep my baby here by me.

Oooh...whooo...

You know my little baby, she buzz around like a bumble bee.

And I won't complain if she comes around here and stings me.

Enough to keep my baby good company.

Yeah...oooh...whooo...

You know my little baby, I'd recognize her anywhere.
If I seen her in a crowd, I'd recognize her anywhere.

Take me home...


4. THEY DON'T MAKE THEM LIKE YOU ANYMORE

They don't make them like you anymore,
That's for sure,
And when they made you,
They made sure they threw away the mold.
It comes as no surprise to me,
That I want to be in your vicinity.
If I stand close to you,
I'm not sure if I'm really there.
With my feet on the ground,
But my head it's lost in the air,
Oh, how I wish you could see,
That I'd love to be in your vicinity.

Where would I go?
What would I do if you should run from me?
How does it show were I to lose?
Would you explain to me?
There's something growing,
There's something showing,
There's something won't let me be.
Yeahhh..

Where would I go?
What would I do if you should run from me?
How does it show were I to lose?
Would you explain to me?

There's something won't let me be.

They don't make them like you anymore,
That's for sure,
And when they made you,
They made sure they threw away the mold.
Oh, how I wish you could see,
I want to be in your vicinity.

Well I've heard that one day,
Everything comes to him that waits,
Well that may be so,
But you know it may be too late,
Oh, how I'd love for you to see,
That I want to be in you vicinity.


5. LIVIN' LIKE A TRUCKER

Well I've been livin' like a trucker,
For a month or more.
Well, I'm steaming like a diesel,
That cannot feel it's throat.
Well, I'm closing all the windows,
Keeping out the rain.
But, I'm not complaining,
In fact I'd do it all again.
I'm a ramblin' man,
Cannot stop a travlin' man.

I've been singing for my supper,
But I never get to eat.
Well I queue up at the diner.
But I cannot find a seat.

Well, I've been livin' like a gypsy,
Feeling like a king.
Really feel like singin'..you know,
That's the mood I'm in.
I'm a ramblin' man,
Some kind of travlin' man.

You'll never catch me working 9 to 5,
That's for some people, but me I wanna ride.
All around the world, to the planets end,
I've seen some places, but more I ain't seen yet.

Yeah....

Lose an hour, gain an hour,
Somewhere on a map.
Flying through the time zone,
Another plane to catch.
Why I've always gotta see what's on the other side,
So I pack my bag.
Get on my way.
And catch my train and ride.

I've been livin' like a hawker,
In days both hot and cold.
Well, I'm sleeping if I have to,
Before the wagons roll.

Well, I've been hopin' and I've been prayin,
Since I was last here.
Tell your mama not to worry,
Come on baby, get on up here.

I'm a ramblin' man,
Some kind of travlin' man.

Well I've been livin' like a trucker,
For a month or more.
Well, I'm steaming like a diesel,
That cannot feel it's throat.

Well, I'm closing all the windows,
Keeping out the rain.
But, you won't hear me complaining,
In fact I'd do it all again.
I'm a travlin' man,
Some kind of ramblin' man.

Yes, I'd do it all again.
I'd do it all again, baby.
Travlin' man, travlin' man.
Yeah....

6. SLEEP ON A CLOTHES-LINE

I could sleep on a clothes line,
As easy as pie.
I can't keep my eyes open,
No matter how I try.
I gotta sit down,
I can't stay on my feet.
I been up all night,
I been walkin' the street.
Oh yeah...

Looking for my baby,
But everywhere I've gone.
Tell me I just missed her,
It's gone on too long.

Well, I'd go up on a mountain,
And I'd fight a wild cat.
Walk over Niagara,
And all the way back.
Get lost in the jungle,
And I'd live up a tree.

That's what I would want to do,
If you would stay with me.
Oh yeah...

Looking for you baby,
Gone from pillar to post.
Wverywhere I'd just missed you baby,
By a minute at the most.

Well I'm looking for you baby,
In the cafe's and the bar.
All the places is glad to know you,
And they say you cannot go too far.
But you've gone far enough baby,
If I find out I've done nothing wrong.
Don't have to ask who's the fool,
I won't be the one.
Owwwww.......not a loser...

Well, I would sleep on the tail-plane,
Of a Jumbo Jet.
Walk over the Ocean
And I'd never once get wet.
Go skating on an iceberg,
And that's what I would once do.
Lay it down a dozen times,
Just to hear you say,
"I Love You".

Looking for you baby,
But everwhere I go.
Tell me I just missed you baby,
By a minute at the most.

Well, I could,
Sleep on a clothes line,
As easy as pie.
I can't keep my eyes open,
No matter how I try.
I gotta sit down,
I can't stay on my feet.
I been up all night,
I been walkin' the street.
Yeah...

Looking for you baby,
Everwhere I go.
Tell me I just missed you baby,
You know, it's gone on too long.
Yeah..
Gone too long baby.
Yeah..


7. WHO'S THAT COMING

Tell me, who's that coming?
Not walking, but running.
Cool as the mountain breeze.
Well, that song she's humming,
Could make my guitar start strumming.

Automatically.

Tell me, who's that speaking?
To make my heart start beating.
Really wanna make it pound.
Well, those words she's saying,
Could make even the devil start praying.
On his knees down upon the ground.
She's always had just what it took,
To read me like I was an open book.
There's something burning deep inside of me,
And she's the only one who can set me free.

Yeah....awhhh..

Tell me, who's that coming?
Not hitching or thumbing.
Walking straight at me.
Well, I sure am grinning,
Yeah, she's the one..and,
I guess she'll always be.
Tell me, who's that coming?
Not walking, but running.
Cool as the mountain breeze.
Well, that song she's humming,
Could make my guitar start strumming.

Automatically.
Yeah...

She's always had just what it took,
To read me like I was an open book.
There's something burning deep inside of me,
And she's the only one who can set me free.
Awhhh..that's right.

Who's that coming?
Who's that coming here?
Who's that coming?
Who's that coming?
Who's that coming?
Is that you?
Is that you?
Well, tell me, is that you?
Tell me, is that you?

Who's that coming?
Who's that coming?


8. A MILLION MILES AWAY

This hotel bar is full of people,
The piano man is really laying it down,
The old bartender is as high as a steeple,
So why tonight should I wear a frown?
The joint is jumpin' all around me,
And my mood is really not in style,
Right now the blues flock to surround me,
But I'll break out after a while.

Yes I'm a million miles away,
I'm a million miles away,
I'm sailing like a driftwood,
On a windy bay,
On a windy bay.

I'm a million miles away,
I'm a million miles away,
But I'm sailing like a driftwood,
On a windy bay,
On a windy bay.

Why ask how I feel,
Well, how does it look to you?
I fell hook, line and sinker,
Lost my captain and my crew.

I'm standing on the landing,
There's no one there but me,
That's where you'll find me,
Looking out on the deep blue sea.

There's a song on the lips of everybody,
There's a smile all around the room,
There's conversation overflowing,
But I sit here with the blues.

This hotel bar has lost all its people,
The piano man has caught the last bus home,
The old bartender just collapsed in the corner,
Why I'm still here, I just don't know,
I don't know.

I'm a million miles away,
A million miles away,
I'm sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay,
On a windy bay.

I'm a million miles away,
A million miles away,
I'm sailing like a driftwood on a windy bay,
Send me away...
