01 Further on down the road (05.44 feat. Taj Mahal
*
Further on down the road baby, you will accompany me.
Further on down the road baby, you will accompany me.
When I think back, your love was like the sun
And I don't remember no dark days, remember the warm warm fun.
Further on down the road baby, you will accompany me.
Fools in life, mmmm woman than a happy fool I'd rather be.
Oh baby I'll be glad to learn from you,
Darlin' I know you will be glad to learn from me.
And if we get down and things get sad,
We can cheer up eachother, and grin cuz things just ain't that bad.
If we fools in life, a happy fool I would rather be.
Day by day, just one step, one step at a time.
Cuz woman you have given me so much,
Just to ease this stubborn little achin' heart of mine.
I don't care where they came from,
and I don't care what they might say,
Woman you've been lovin' in my corner, all, all the way.
Day by day, that's the magical kind cuz it's flowin' all of the time.
Further on down the road, baby,
you will accompany me
Further on down the road, baby,
you will accompany me
When I look back,
your love was like the sun,
And I don't remember any cold days,
I just remember the warm warm fun.
Further on down the road, baby,
you will accompany me.
Ohhhh Babe, ohhhh babe, ohhhh darling
ohhhh babe, ohhhh darling, ohhhh babe,
ohhhh babe, ohhhh darling, ohhhh babe,
ohhhh babe, ohhhh babe, ohhhh darling...

02 Angel (03.54 feat. J.J. Cale
*
All up and down the boulevard
All the boys are looking hot
Tryina score, tryina make a pass
Anything at all, don't have to last
Angel, she's afraid now
She don't know about the street guys
She don't know how to hurt you deep
Let her play for keeps
Cut you like a knife, angel
When you survive
Cut you like a knife, angel
Street life
Blue hard hands and car trucks
Hustlers, lovers, come out the dark
They all know, and it's a fact
Angel, you better stand back
Sun cools down, the street come to life
Here come the boys with all the drive
Anyone can do this
They don't really care
They cut you like a knife, angel
When you survie
Cut you like a knife, angel
Street life
All up and down the boulevard
All the boys are looking hot
Tryina score, tryina make a pass
Anything at all, don't have to last
Cut you like a knife, angel
When you survive
Cut you like a knife, angel
Street life
Cut you like a knife, angel
When you survive
Cut you like a knife, angel
Street life

03 The folks who live on the hill (03.46
*
Someday we'll build a home on a hilltop high
You and I, shiny and new
Cottage that two can fill
And we'll be pleased to be called
The folks who live on the hill
Someday we may be adding a wing or two
A thing or two
We will make changes as any family will
But we will always be called
The folks who live on the hill
Our veranda will command a view of meadows green
The sort of view that seems to want to be seen
And when our kids grow up and leave us
We'll sit and look at that same old view
Just we two, Darby and Joan
Who used to be Jack and Jill
The folks who like to be called
What they have always been called
The folks who live on the hill
The folks who live on the hill
The folks who live on the hill
The folks who live on the hill

04 Gotta get over (04.37 feat. Chaka Khan
*
Can you feel a wind blowing
Got me talking to myself
One more day, one more truth, got to find out where
Feel the blow of the river taking me there
Good Lord only get you so far,
Then you got to help yourself
I don't need no reason, reason to hang my head
Cause I gotta get over
Get on over to the good side
Lord I gotta get over
Get over, you get a lil' closer
I gotta get over
Getting closer to the good side
Gotta get over
Getting over, over
I've been breaking like the waves upon the sand
You know I need some fortitude, gonna keep it close at hand
And I gotta shake it if I'm gonna break it on down the line
Ain't nobody can help me if I stay helpless all the time
I gotta get over
Get on over to the good side
Gotta get over
Help me get a little closer
I gotta get over
Getting closer to the good side
Lord I gotta get over,
Getting over, over

05 Till your well runs dry (04.42
*
You said you loved me and then you left
Broke every promise, you won every bed
You never miss your water till your well runs dry!
Tell me, tell me what you gonna do
When your, when your well runs dry
What you gonna do, when your, when your well runs dry?
What you gonna do when your well runs dry
I'd like to know
What you gonna do when your well runs dry?
Listen to me, darling
You cheat and you lie
How you come in running
Running, wanting second try
You never miss your water
Till your well runs dry!
Tell me, tell me what you gonna do
When your, when your well runs dry
What you gonna do, when your, when your well runs dry?
What you gonna do when your well runs dry
I'd like to know
What you gonna do when your well runs dry?
Sat down and sighed
And I heard you're packing
But you said nothing
I watched you pass me by.
I know you gonna miss me
You're gonna be so blue!
Tell me, tell me what you gonna do
When your, when your well runs dry
What you gonna do, when your (feeling good?)
When your well runs dry?
What you gonna do when your well runs dry
What you gonna do, when your (feeling good?)
When your well runs dry?
What you gonna do when your well runs dry
I'd like to know
What you gonna do when your well runs dry?
You never miss you water till your well runs dry!
Tell me, tell me what you gonna do
When your, when your well runs dry
What you gonna do, when your, when your well runs dry?
What you gonna do when your well runs dry
I'd like to know
What you gonna do when your well runs dry?
What you gonna do when your well runs dry?

06 All of me (03.22 feat. Paul McCartney
*
All of me, why not take all of me?
Can't you see I'm no good without you?
Take my lips, I wanna lose them
Take my arms, I'll never use them
Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry
How can I go on dear without you?
You took the part that once was my heart
So why not take all of me?
Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry
How can I go on dear without you?
You took the part that once was my heart
So why not take all of me?
Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry
How can I go on dear without you?
You took the part that once was my heart
So why not take all of me?

07 Born to lose (04.03
*
Born to lose, I've lived my life in vain
Every dream has only brought me pain
All my life I've always been so blue
Born to lose, and now I'm losing you
Born to lose, it seems so hard to bear
How I long to always have you near
You've grown tired and now you say we're through
Born to lose, and now I'm losing you
Born to lose, my every hope is gone
It's so hard to face each empty dawn
You were all the happiness I knew
Born to lose, and now I'm losing you
Born to lose, and now I'm losing you

08 Still got the Blues (05.54 feat. Steve Winwood
*
It used to be so easy to give my heart away
I found out the hard way
There's a price I have to pay
I found in that love's no friend of mine
I should have known better time after time
It was so long, so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you
It used to be so easy to fall in love again
I found out the hard way
It's a road that leads to pain
I found in that love was more than just a game
I was playin' to win
But losin' just the same
It was so long, so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you
So many years since I've seen your face
Here in my heart there's an empty space
Where you used to be
Well, it was so long, so long ago
But I've still got the blues for you
Though the days come and go
There is one thing I know
I've still got the blues for you
*
09 Goodnight Irene (04.23
*
Last Saturday night I got married
Me and my wife settled down
Now me and my wife are parted
Gonna take a little stroll downtown
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
Stop ramblin', stop your gamblin'
Stop stayin'out late at night
Come home to your wife and your family
And sit by the fire so bright
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
I love Irene, God knows I do
Love her 'til the rivers run dry
If irene should ever turn her back on me
Gonna take morphine and die
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
Irene goodnight, Irene goodnight
Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams
Goodnight Irene, Goodnight Irene
I'll see you in my dreams

10 Your one and only man (04.30
*
Hey, hey, hey
If I can only make you see
That you were only meant for me
Our love will be free
And I'll be your destiny
Your destiny, your destiny
If I can make you understand
Treat me right and love me
Then I will be your man
Your one and only man
These are the words that I have to say
Live by them each and every day
And as the time pass I know our love will last
Our love will last, our love will last
Take me blue and understand them
Live by them and love me
Then I will be your man
Your one and only man
These are the words that I have to say
Just live by them each and every day
And as the time pass I know our love will last
Our love will last, our love will last
Take me blue and understand
Live by them and love me
Honey I will be your man
Your one and only man
Your sweet lovin' man
I will be your man
(Your one and only man)
(Your one and only man)
(Your one and only man)
(I will be your man)

11 Every little thing (04.34
*
Well it's a cloud in morning
But I got the sun in my life
I wanna feel what forever feels like
With you by my side
People trying to sell your freedom
But they never been held by your love
Every little thing, every little thing
Your love is all I see
Every little thing, every little thing
You make me feel complete
All the little things, all the little things
Can wait until tomorrow
Every little thing, every little thing
Your love is all I need
And I get lost in my instant time
And I go somewhere else instead
When all you wanna do is love me
You can wait so patiently
Pull me closer just by looking
And I'll fall in love all over again
Every little thing, every little thing
Love is all I see
Every little thing, every little thing
You make me feel complete
All the little things, all the little things
They can wait until tomorrow
Every little thing, every little thing
Your love is all I need
Give me a piece of your heart
Give me a piece of your heart
Give me a piece of your heart
I'll give you a piece of my heart
Every little thing, every little thing
Your love is all I see
Every little thing, every little thing
You can make me feel complete
All the little things, all the little things
They can wait until tomorrow
Every little thing, every little thing
I wanna hear my children sing
Every little thing you do is beautiful
Open your heart and let the love come in
Every little thing you do is beautiful
Beautiful, so beautiful
Open your heart and let the love come in
It sound no
Every little thing you do is beautiful
Open your heart and let the love come in
Every little thing you do is beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful
Every little thing you do is beautiful
Open your heart and let your love come in
Every little thing you do is beautiful
Beautiful so beautiful
Every little thing you do is beautiful
Open your heart and let your love come in

12 Our love is here to stay (04.12
*
It's very clear
Our love is here to stay
Not for a year
But ever and a day
The radio and the telephone
And the movies that we know
May just be passing fancies
And in time may go
But, oh my dear
Our love is here to stay
Together we're
Going a long, long way
In time the Rockies may crumble
Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
But our love is here to stay
Oh my dear
Our love is here to stay
Together we're
Going a long, long way
In time the Rockies may crumble
Gibraltar may tumble
They're only made of clay
But our love is here to stay
Our love is here to stay
