Wasting time, wasting money. You been acting like a fool. You spend your whole life. Fighting for a guarantee. And all you really need is a friend. Hey, there's a good light.
Baseball season's underway. Well, you'd better get ready for a brand new day. Hey, Chicago, what do you say?. The Cubs are gonna win today. . They're singing.
When we first started on our way through love. We thought we were two of a kind. We thought forever was just you and me. And always a matter of time. .
[CHORUS]. Got no reason now for go-in' home. All my rea-son's now she is gone. Got no one there to talk to talk to and e-ven though I know. I ought to got no rea-son now for go-in' home.
Irene, goodnight,. Irene, goodnight,. Goodnight, Irene,. Goodnight, Irene,. I'll see you in my dreams. . Last Saturday night I got married,. Me and my wife settle down,,.
Gravitational forces. The time is 8:45. Fifteen minutes shy of competing the 4-hour sound check. It usually takes an hour and a half. . The room reminds me of a putt putt golf course.
We were standin' on a mountain top. Where the cactus flowers grow. I was wishin' that the world would stop. When you said we'd better go. . We took a rowboat 'cross the Rio Grande.
In the corner of the barroom. Lives the ghost of Langston Hughes. He's takin' notes and smokin' cigarettes. Sippin' slowly on his booze. Got them goin' nowhere blues.
I been down this street once or twice. i played the bars and the blues. never took noone's advice. to me its all yesterday's news. and we would drink an old flannery.
I left Houston, Texas on a Gulf Coast Hurricane. I was blown down by tornadoes, washed up by the rain. Well my pappy wasn't happy with me, he told me to go.
Well, I quit my job down at the car wash,. Left my mama a goodbye note,. By sundown I'd left Kingston,. With my guitar under my coat,. I hitchhiked all the way down to Memphis,.
I once went a courtin';. Down in 'ol Alabama.. I brought along a donkey;. And a slice of salama!. I saw her there a sitting;. In a dirty lawn chair,. And asked her nicely.
God rest ye merry gentlemen. Let nothing you dismay. For Jesus Christ our Saviour. Was born upon this day. . To save us all from Satan's power. When we were gone astray.
A time to be reapin', a time to be sowin'. The green leaves of summer are callin' me home. It was good to be young then in the season of plenty. When the catfish were jumpin' as high as the sky.
The old home town looks the same. As I step down from the train. And there to meet me is my Mama and Papa. . Down the road I look and there runs Mary.
(Goodbye sunshine). . Goodbye sunshine gee but I'll miss your smile. Don't cry sunshine I'll be back in a while. And when I'm lonesome and the lonely tears start.

I've laid around and played around this old town too long. Summer's almost gone yes winter's comin' on. I've laid around and played around this old town too long.
Green green it's green they say on the farside of the hill. Green green I'm going away to where the grass is greener still. . Well I told my mama on the day I was born.
(I'm a man with a dream and a good woman's love). . I was a rover on land and on sea. Till a good woman's love made a new man of me. Life had no meaning it was so incomplete.
