Silver Dollar Forger: Swingin' my sweet chariot low Gotta make it home to Georgia Excise lawman on my trail I'm a silver dollar forger I see a road block on my right Engine take me through the night Gotta make it home to the arms of my sweet baby. Twenty miles from that Georgia state I can hear the sirens wailing If only I can cross that line And leave the police trailing I see a red light at my rear Now i'm sweatin' cold steel fear Gotta make it home to the arms of my sweet baby. I'm tired of all this running Hiding from the light I want to walk out in the sun I'll soon be home I can see the clay I'll soon be in Atlanta If only I can hold that line I can live just how I want to I see the state line in my lights Engine take me through the night Gotta make it home to the arms of my sweet baby |

Glad When You're Gone: Now you say that you're leavin' Well it can't be too soon And you spend all of my money You knocked my guitar out of tune. Well you say you're sick and tired Tired of having me around And you call me cheatin' liar You drove my car into the ground. And i'll be glad when you're gone Yes i'll be glad when you're gone And when you walk out that door Darlin' please don't come back no more Now I wish i'd never known you And I wish we'd never met I was drunk you gave me whiskey When I was ill you called the vet. You say that it's over And you think you'll bring me down If you come back lookin' for me I'll be out there on the town |

Loved And Lost: Bad luck,is doggin' me around Bad luck,is doggin' me around And I can't change my ways Because I've been made second grade And it's better to have loved Loved and lost Yes it's better to have loved Loved and lost It's better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all. No love,has come to me and stayed No love,has come to me and stayed But I can't win this race But to try to run ain't no disgrace Losin' hands,have always been my deal Losin' hands,have always been my deal Never have drawn, drawn the ace But when trouble came I always looked it in the face |

Shanghai'd In Shanghai: Standing on a corner in downtown L.A. Waiting for the man to come along She comes up to me and says 'too bad, too sad' You know that he's been dead and gone. L.A. lady, kinda shady She picked him up and took him home I woke up groggy my sight was smoggy And I knew that it had been blown Early in the morning sitting in a hotel Moscow's looking fine through the wine Spaced out I crashed out When the K.G.B. came on the line. It's a cold one, bein' sent down It's gotta be fifty below Mama here's a postcard to let you know I'm in a saltmine and looking for coal Shanghai'd in Shanghai Stood on in Tuscon Ripped off and kicked right out the bed Flyin' across the desert from Texas to Tuscon But we're headed for a southern star The captain says it's fine in Havana This dude behind me needs a cigar. He's a big one, he's got a big gun I guess we better go along Mister we've got a gig in Arizona Second billing to the Rolling Stones Shanghai'd in Shanghai Stood on in Tuscon Ripped off and kicked right out the bed Shanghai'd in Shanghai Laid low in 'Frisco Done in and left behind for dead |

Jet Lag: I'm goin' back to New York city Times square sure will be shinin' bright I know it sure looks pretty But I don't go down every night. I'm gonna take in Memphis You know the one down in Tennessee And if you wanna boogie Now that's the place to be. Sittin' in a bar in Macon Drinkin' something called rebel yells When I thought I heard someone ringing I guess she's a southern bell. We just cut out of El Paso It just fries there in that desert sun And if you've ever been down there man Then you know why we run. I got jet lag And livin' out an overnight bag Time changes every day They do things a different way Back in the USA. Tryin' hard to make a phone call 'long distance over seas' 'yes ma'am I did say Scotland' 'could you spell that again for me please' Went out west to Colorado You know that it just blew my mind I'd love to go back there next trip I sure hope we get some time. Driving down a Detroit freeway Just lookin' at those concrete walls Hey but it's a good town to rock'n'roll in 'what do you mean the police closed the god damned hall?' Flyin' home tomorrow To be there's gonna be just great And after some time with my lady I'm gonna be back to rock'n'roll in the States |

Light My Way: Locked in a shadow Praying for release You found my prison Your love was the key So come on, light myday And come on, light my way Lonely's just a word now Something from my past Horizon's look brighter Loving you will last So come on, light my day And come on, light my way The world's now my oyster Had me marked 'reject' You changed the story Gave me back respect So come on, light my day And come on, light my way |

Sunshine: Sunshine, every single day Helps to light my way And darlin', right before my eyes It don't come as no surprise That it's easy Easy lovin' you And baby, 'til you came along There was always something wrong Around me There was emptiness of course But it's alright And it's easy Easy lovin' you And sunshine,having you around You're the light I never found And darlin', every minute you're away But it's brighter And it's easy Easy lovin' you |

Shapes Of Things: (P.Samwell-Smith, K.Relf, Jim Mccarty) Shapes of things before my eyes Just teach me to despise Will time make men more wise? Here within my lonely frame My eyes just hurt my brain But will it seem the same? Come tomorrow, will I be older? Come tomorrow, may be a soldier Come tomorrow, may I be bolder than today? Now the trees are almost green But will they still be seen When time and tide have been? Oh, into your passing hands Please don't destroy these lands Don't make them desert sands |
