Easy Livin' Hensley This is a thing I have never known before It's called easy livin' This is a place I've never seen before And I've been forgiven Easy livin’ and I've been forgiven Since you've taken your place in my heart Somewhere along the lonely road I had tried to find you Day after day on that windy road I had walked behind you Easy livin’ and I've been forgiven Since you've taken your place in my heart Waiting, watching Wishing my whole life away Dreaming, thinking Ready for my happy day And some easy livin' |
Look At Yourself Hensley I see you running Don't know what You're running from Nobody's coming What'd you do that was so wrong Look back and turn back Look at yourself Don't be afraid, just Look at yourself If you need assistance Or if all you need is love There's no point in hiding Tell me what you’re frightened of You've got a friend, just Look at yourself Don't be afraid, just Look at yourself |
Lady In Black Hensley She came to me one morning One lonely Sunday morning Her long hair flowing In the midwinter wind I know not how she found me For in darkness I was walking And destruction lay around me From a fight I could not win Ah ah ah... She asked me name my foe then I said the need within some men To fight and kill their brothers Without thought of love or God And I begged her give me horses To trample down my enemies So eager was my passion To devour this waste of life Ah ah ah... But she wouldn't think of battle that Reduces men to animals So easy to begin And yet impossible to end For she’s the mother of our men Who counselled me so wisely then I feared to walk alone again And asked if she would stay Ah ah ah... Oh lady lend your hand outright And let me rest here at your side Have faith and trust in peace she said And filled my heart with life There is no strength in numbers Have no such misconception But when you need me Be assured I won't be far away Ah ah ah... Thus having spoke she turned away And though I found no words to say I stood and watched until I saw Her black coat disappear My labour is no easier But now I know I'm not alone I find new heart each time I think upon that windy day And if one day she comes to you Drink deeply from her words so wise Take courage from her as your prize And say hello from me Ah ah ah... |
Free Me Hensley Free me, free me Why won't you free me Free me from your spell Come on and free me Why won't you free me Come on and free me Free me from your spell Why should I worry That you might not love me You're not the only love That I've ever had Your sweet memory Will always comfort me So why should I be feeling sad As far as I can tell You knew so well I was always At the end of the line I've loved you as much As any man can But not enough To make you mine So long, easy rider I know I'll miss you for awhile But sooner or later I know that I'll forget you And I tell you babe Free me Come on and free me Why won't you free me Free me from your spell Oh babe, free me Why won't you free me Come on and free me Free me from your spell We let a good love die We let it pass us by Though you tried to Keep me hangin' on But with all this doubt It'll never work out So tomorrow I'll be travellin' on And saying: So long, easy rider I know I'll miss you for awhile But sooner or later I know that I'll forget you And I beg it babe Free me Come on and free me Why won't you free me Free me from your spell Come on and free me I'm on my knees, babe Free me Why won't you free me Free me from your spell Oh babe, come on Come on and free me Why won't you free me Free me from this spell |
Stealin' Hensley Take me across the water ‘Cause I need some place to hide I done the rancher’s daughter And I sure did hurt his pride Well, there's a Hundred miles of desert Lies between his hide and mine I don't need no food And no water, Lord ‘Cos I'm running out of time Fightin', killin', wine and women Gonna put me to my grave Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin' Nothing left to save but my life Stood on a ridge And shunned religion Thinking the world was mine I made my break and a big mistake Stealin', when I Should've been buyin' All that fightin', killin' Wine and those women Gonna put me to an early grave Runnin', hidin', losin', cryin' Nothing left to save but my life, life... So I stood on a ridge And shunned religion Thinking the world was mine I made my break and a big mistake Stealin', when I Should've been buyin' I was stealin’ When I should’ve been buyin’ I was stealin’ When I should’ve been buyin’ Stealin’, when I Should’ve been buyin’ ... I was stealin’ ... |
The Wizard Hensley/Clarke He was the wizard Of a thousand kings And I chanced to meet him One night wandering He told me tales And he drank my wine Me and my magic man Kinda feeling fine He had a cloak of gold And eyes of fire And as he spoke I felt a deep desire To free the world Of its fear and pain And help the people To feel free again Why don't we listen to The voices in our hearts ‘Cause then I know we'd find We're not so far apart Everybody's got to be happy Everyone should sing For we know the joy of life The peace that love can bring So spoke the wizard In his mountain home The vision of his wisdom Means we'll never be alone And I will dream of my magic night And a million silver stars That guide me with their light |
July Morning Byron/Hensley There I was on a July morning Looking for love With the strength Of a new day dawning And the beautiful sun At the sound Of the first bird singing I was leaving for home With the storm And the night behind me And a road of my own With the day came the resolution I'll be looking for you La la la la... I was looking for love In the strangest places Wasn't a stone That I left unturned Must have tried more Than a thousand faces But not one was aware Of the fire that burned In my heart, in my mind, in my soul La la la la ... There I was on a July morning I was looking for love With the strength Of a new day dawning And the beautiful sun And at the sound Of the first bird singing I was leaving for home With the storm And the night behind me Yeah, and a road of my own |
Fallin In Love Hensley Falling keep on falling Keep on falling love Now I don't mind All this running around Seems I've been doing it Most of my life My music's been kind But some days I find It brings me two kinds of trouble And three kinds of strife So don't try to compare it 'Cause I just want to Share it with some people I like to call friends There ain't nothing bad and No need to feel sad And there's certainly no need To make amends It won't do you no harm and There's no cause for alarm I won't be praying for Help from above If the only thing Wrong with rock and roll Is that I keep on falling in love If the only thing Wrong with rock and roll Is that I keep on falling Keep on falling Keep on falling in love |
Woman Of The Night Box/Lawton/Kerslake Ride along lady woman of the night Looking for a place to go Dancing on storm clouds Hiding from the light Looking for an easy Joe You just wanna play around Searching for a higher ground Walking every side street Kicking up the leaves Running from the pouring rain Standing on the corners Shaking from the cold Only got yourself to blame You just wanna play around Searching for a higher ground Someone who could Make you happy Someone who would care You've broken your life Beyond repair You're reaching for every rainbow You're wondering why Don't reach out for love 'Cause it's a lie You've got your number on the wall Of some deserted station hall Is this your only claim to fame Will you just play your waiting game But you won't stop the things you do Some night the evil get to you |
I'm Alive Lawton How strange when You know the feeling That something ain't right You're fooled by the need of being You're blind to the light Don't ask where The stranger leads you He'll show you the way Just go out and make your conquest You've something to say I'm alive, I'm alive and I'm me I've just got to be free I'm alive to the world There's been so much Bad time wasted Just look and you'll see We've got so much going for us It's not just a dream Let's look and we'll find the answers To questions I've made We'll reach out for new beginnings Let love show the way Let's leave our past behind The love can make us blind But now we know That we're alive |
Who Needs Me Kerslake Don't take life for granted 'Cause you know that Life won't grant you back The feelings on the love That you once had You've taken me for granted 'Cause you know I'm a lover just like you And I'll do anything You want me to Who needs me? Who needs me now? You'll find someone How you'll find one Who needs me? Who needs me now? You'll find another but no better You can't argue with me now I needed you and You did not know how Don't let go of something That is good when I'll tell you it's bad Let 'em hear the story Make 'em sad And if the price of love Can cost you less than When it first began I guess that you won't Find a better man Who needs me ... |
Sweet Lorraine Box/Byron/Thain Would you like to take This magic potion with me On a trip to a cosmic Playground far beyond She understands She's been before It's in her hands To find the door Sweet Lorraine Let the party carry on You and I will swim the sea Sweet Lorraine Let the party carry on You and I can feel the breeze There is no time, no wealth Only I surround you The fortune of this guide Is simply sincerity She understands ‘Cos she's been before It's in her hands To find the door, so |
Free'n Easy Lawton/Box Ain't it strange That when you're onely And your friends they're not around So you make your big decision Get your feet back on the ground When you're down And no one wants you And you wonder who you are When your friends They don't desert you When you make it you're a star But I'm gonna stay Free and easy I know just what I am I'm gonna be free and easy Well, I've been through All the heartaches And I've been through all the pain But when you're up and riding high Everybody stakes their claim I'm gonna be free and easy I know just what I am I'm gonna be free and easy I'm gonna be free and easy I know just who I am I'm gonna be free and easy |
Gypsy Box/Byron I was only seventeen I fell in love with a gypsy queen She told me: "Hold on" Her father was the leading man Said: "You’re not welcome on our land" And then as a foe He told me to go He took me to a little shack And put a whip across my back Then told her: "Leave me" I was out for quite a time Came back with her on my mind Sweet little girl She means all the world Oh, I want my gypsy queen Will she still be torn between Her father and lover One day I will go to him Strong enough to fight and win The kind of a man That he’ll understand |
Cheat'n Lie Hensley Well, it seems to me That I've been cheated And it would appear That I've been lied to All the promises That you repeated Were never destined To come true When I stop to think How I once trusted you It's harder still To bear this doubt I'm a innocent victim of Heartbreaking circumstance And I still can't get it figured out 'Cos all you did was cheat and lie Now you're gone and Made me cry When my heart is heavy and I just can't get it straight Just the way you made me feel A wound that only time can heal Won't you take a little time To show me my mistake 'Cos all you did was cheat and lie Now you're gone and Made me cry When my heart is heavy and I just can't get it straight Just the way you made me feel A wound that only time can heal Won't you take a little time You know you gotta Show me my mistake |
One More Night Hensley One more night ... City lights are Burning in the distance Seems they're tellin' me To hurry home But I can't push these Wheels of mine no harder So hold on baby for One more night alone There's time for me to take just One look over my shoulder One last glance at What's been going on 'Cause I'll be there at First light in the morning We'll pick up the pieces And baby, then we'll be long gone Pick up the pieces and run with me As fast as you can You know you always said I was the man Pick up the pieces, let's do it now Let's say our last farewell Tomorrow may be too late As far as I can tell |
