I'm Your Captain/Closer To Home
Mark Farner

Everybody, listen to me,
And return me, my ship
I'm your captain, I'm your captain,
Although I'm feeling mighty sick
I've been lost now, days uncounted,
And it's months since I've seen home
Can you hear me, can you hear me,
Or am I all alone
If you return me, to my home port,
I will kiss you mother earth
Take me back now, take me back now,
To the port of my birth
Am I in my cabin dreaming, or are you really scheming,
To take my ship away from me?
You'd better think about it, I just can't live without it
So, please don't take my ship from me
Yeah, yeah, yeah ...
I can feel the hand, of a stranger,
And it's tightening, around my throat
Heaven help me, Heaven help me,
Take this stranger from my boat
I'm your captain, I'm your captain,
Although I'm feeling mighty sick
Everybody, listen to me,
And return me, my ship

Heartbreaker
Mark Farner

Once I had a little girl
Sometimes I think about her
But you know she's not really there
When memories do call
I just, I just can't live without her
But tryin' all the time is so hard to bear
Heartbreaker, can't take her
Heartbreaker is bringing me down
Heartbreaker, can't take her
Heartbreaker, bringing me down
I don't cry no more
I live while I'm flying
But I'll think back
And you can hear me say:
Heartbreaker, can't take her
Heartbreaker, bringing me down
Heartbreaker, can't take her
Heartbreaker, bringing me down
Heartbreaker, can't take her
Heartbreaker, bringing me down
Heartbreaker, can't take her
Heartbreaker, bringing me down
Heartbreaker, can't take her
Heartbreaker, bringing me doWn
Heartbreaker, can't take her
Heartbreaker, bringing me down
Heartbreaker, can't take her
Heartbreaker, bringing me down
Heartbreaker, can't take her
Heartbreaker, bringing me down

The Railroad
Mark Farner

Seem like the noon-day sun ain't never gonna' stop
The work is hard in a railroad yard,
Hey, hey, gotta' make it today to punch a time card
Workin' on the railroad

Oh, you know, the railroad is a mighty good line,
Come on and ride the railroad, one more time
Oh, you know, the railroad is a mighty good line,
Come on and ride the railroad, one more time

Dirt and sweat, runnin' down my back,
Workin' on the railroad
Work all day long up and down the railroad tracks

Workin' on the railroad
And with God we've been working, all hand in hand
Workin' on the railroad

We're An American Band
Don Brewer

On the road for forty days,
Last night in Little Rock put me in a haze
Sweet, sweet Connie - doin' her act,
She had the whole show and that's a natural fact
Up all night with Freddy King,
I got to tell you poker's his thing
A-booze 'n ladies keep me right,
As long as we can make it to the show tonight

We're an American band
We're an American band
We're coming to your town, we'll help you party it down
We're an American band

Four young chaquitas in Omaha,
Was waitin' for the band to return from the show
Feelin' good, feelin' right, it's Saturday night,
The hotel detective -- he was out-a-sight
Now, these fine ladies, they had a plan,
They was out to meet the boys in the band
They said, "Come on, dudes, let's get it on,"
And we proceeded to tear that hotel down

We're an American band
We're an American band
We're coming to your town, we'll help you party it down
We're an American band

We're an American band
We're an American band
We're coming to your town, we'll help you party it down
We're an American band

T.N.U.C.
Mark Farner

You won't find me, knockin' at your door
I've known forever, you don't love me no more
If you don't want to lay there, with your mouth shut tight
I'm gettin' myself together, yes I'm leavin' tonight
You ain't gonna' find nobody, to treat you like I do
I bend down on my knees, you treat me like a fool
Now I know what you're tryin' to do, awww it ain't gonna happen
'Cause I just done got hip to you, I'm a walk out laughin'

Inside Looking Out
J. Lomax, A. Lomax, E. Burdon, B. Chandler

I'm sitting here lonely like a broken man
I serve my time doin' the best I can
Walls and bars they surround me
But I don't want no sympathy
No baby, no baby, all I need is some tender lovin'
To keep me sane in this burning oven
And when my time is up
You'll be my reefer
Life gets worse on God's green earth
Be my reefer, got to keep smokin' that thing
No, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
I said now baby.... baby,
Yes I'm beggin'.... I'm beggin'
Makes me feel good.... feel good,
Yes I feel good.... ahhhhh...
Yes I feel alright.... feel alright
yes I feel alright .... feel alright
Yes I feel alright.... ahhhhh
Ohhhhh
Ice cold water runnin' through my veins
They try and drag me back to work again
Pain and blisters on my mind and hands
I work all day making up a.... a burlap bag
The oats they're feeding me are driving me wild
I feel all happy like a new born child
Now when my time is up you wait and see
These walls and bars won't keep that stuff from me
No, no, baby, won't keep that stuff from me
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
I need you right now mama
I need you right now baby
Right by my side honey
Oh and I love
Make me feel alright
Yes I, yes I, yes I, I, I...
You better come on up and get down with me
I'll make you feel real good
Just you wait and see
Make me feel alright
Yes now I feel alright
Yes I, yes I, yes I, I...

Gimme Shelter

If I don't get some shelter, oh, I'm gonna' fade away

War children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away

I said a love sister, it's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away, kiss away, kiss away

War children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
War children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away

War children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away
War children, it's just a shot away, it's just a shot away

Love sister, it's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away
Love sister, it's just a kiss away, it's just a kiss away
