Real Life Blues"
1992 Space Songs, Warner Chappell Ltd.

So much trouble in the world, I can't watch or read the news
Brings me down so bad babe, when I read the daily blues.
So much heartache in the world, all the sickness and the war
Keep my head down in the sand, 'cause I just can't take no more

I'm talking 'bout trouble - too many reasons for the blues
I'm talking trouble - it's time we had some better news

So much fighting in the world, God and country leads to war
They say we fight for peace, but I just can't take no more
So much killing in the world, terrorist victims by the score
So much trouble in the world babe, and I just can't take no more

I'm talking 'bout trouble - too many reasons for the blues
I'm talking trouble - it's time we had some better news

"Religion"
1973 Chrys-A-Lee Music Ltd.

I never really understood religion
Except it seems a good excuse to kill.
I never really could make a decision,
I don't suppose I ever really will.

I can't relate to any power structure
Where ego is the driving energy;
I let mine go a long, long time ago, now,
When I decided that I would be free.

The only thing I understand is living;
The biggest sacrifice to make is death.
And once you're dead there's nothing left for giving,
So life means fighting for your every breath.

"Remember Me"
1992 Space Songs, Warner Chappell Ltd.

Now you might think I'm crazy, 'cause of all the things I do
I'd rob steal kill somebody, just to get back home to you
I'll climb the highest mountain, swim the deepest sea
Do anything you want me to, if you'll remember me

Remember me when I'm dead and gone, remember me
Remember me when I'm dead and gone, remememember

Now if you need some loving, before I am deceased
Well I don't own this body Babe, it's only out on lease
So don't wait until tomorrow, let's do it while we can
And I will be forever, your ever loving man

Remember me when I'm dead and gone, remember me
Remember me when I'm dead and gone, remememember

Hey Babe can't you tell me, what's a man to do
I'd climb the highest mountain, just to prove that I love you
Swim shark infested waters, I'd cross the deepest sea
Do anything you want me to, if you'll remember me

Remember me when I'm dead and gone, remember me
Remember me when I'm dead and gone, remememember

Well I can't reach you Babe, 'cause you don't notice me
I'll do anything that you want me to, I'll even set you free
Now life don't come too easy, so live it while you may
If they ask you about the future, just turn around and say

Remember me when I'm dead and gone, remember me
Remember me when I'm dead and gone, remememember

"Ride My Train"
1974 Space Songs Ltd.

I don't ride, if you won't ride with me
I don't ride, if I can't ride for free
I don't care, if you don't understand
Want your lovin' but - I don't need your hand

(If he don't understand, I want your lovin' but I don't need your hand)
(Ride my train to the promised land, I need your lovin' but I don't need your hand)

Take my body, all you want for free
Ain't the way I - live my life to me
I don't care, if you don't understand
Want your lovin' but - I don't need your hand

(If he don't understand, I want your lovin' but I don't need your hand)
(Ride my train to the promised land, I want your lovin' but I don't need your hand)

I don't ride, if I can't ride for free
I don't ride, if you don't ride with me
I don't care, if you don't understand
I want your lovin' but - I don't need your hand

(If he don't understand, I want your lovin' but I don't need your hand)
(Ride my train to the promised land, I need your lovin' but I don't need your hand)
(Ride my train to the promised land, I need your lovin' but I don't need your hand)
(Ride my train to the promised land, I need your lovin' but I don't need your hand)

Well I don't give nothing, I don't give a damn
If you wanna run see another man
I don't care nothing, I am what I am
It doesn't bother me if you don't understand

Won't you - please, ride my train
Don't say no to me - don't try to tease my brain
Won't you - please, ride my train
If you want me to ride again

"Ride On Cowboy"
1979 Space Songs Ltd.

Keep ridin' cowboy, hang up your gun
Peace is within you, your day will come
Keep pushin' forward, do what you can
You got to prove that, you are a man

Ride on, ride on cowboy, you had your time to speak - yeah
Ride on, ride on cowboy, ride on to battle creek - yeah
Life is a gamble, nothing has changed
Nothing is different, just rearranged

Works in a saddle, horse and a gun
You are the lawman, your day will come
Ride on, ride on cowboy, ride on to liberty
Ride on, ride on cowboy, you are the last to be free - yeah

Times they are changin', quick on the draw
Progress will lay you, right on the floor
Said ride, ride on cowboy, you know what's wrong with you - yeah
Ride on, ride on cowboy, leave your fightin' we're through

Ride on cowboy, keep on ridin' cowboy,
Keep on, keep on
Keep ridin' cowboy, keep ridin' cowboy,
Ride on cowboy, keep ridin'

"Ridin', Truckin"
1980 Space Songs Ltd.

Ridin', truckin', groovin' to the music - it's the only way to go
Don't need no worries, gonna need no
It's a feelin' - don't you know

When you're ridin' down the highway doin' ninty-five
Keep your eyes on the road, if you wanna stay alive
One eye on the mirror for the highway patrol
Foot on the pedal - ooohh, you let it roll

Ridin' along the highway - everybody is goin' my way
Just drivin' along down the freeway,
Everybody is doin' the Lee way - hey, hey
Ridin', truckin', groovin' to the music
I'm ridin', I'm truckin', groovin' to the music
Ridin', truckin', groovin' to the music
I'm ridin', truckin', groovin' to the music

Flyin' down the thruway, leave your rubber on the track
People take the road, cause there ain't no turnin' back
Start to feel the groove, and it's comin' on fast
I may not be a winner, but I want it to last

Truckin' down the highway, and I'm losin' my load
Streamin' down the crossway, with my rubber on the road
Headin' for the corner, cause I hope it's controlled
Truckin' to the music - from my radio

Said ridin' along on the highway - everybody is goin' my way
Drivin' along down the freeway - everybody doin' the Lee way - hey, hey
I'm ridin', I'm truckin', groovin' to the music
I'm ridin', truckin', groovin' to the music
Ridin', truckin', groovin' to the music
I'm ridin', truckin', groovin' to the music - hey, hey

I'm Ridin', truckin', groovin' to the music
I'm ridin', I'm truckin', groovin' to the music
Ridin', truckin', groovin' to the music
I'm ridin', truckin', groovin' to the music

Ridin', truckin', groovin' to the music - ridin', truckin' on
Ridin', truckin', groovin' to the music - ridin', truckin' on

"Rock-N Roll Guitar Picker"
1980 Space Songs Ltd.

I always wanted to be a rock 'n roll guitar picker
Never wanted to be a big town city slicker
My friends said to me, they said you don't understand
You never make a livin' in a rock 'n roll band
But I play it loud, and the music keeps rockin' on

Well my moma she said, what you gonna do
when you get past twenty-one
Said, I don't think I'll make it - but if I'm mistaken,
Well the music will be rockin' on
I said rock 'n roll music - is gettin' me high
I wanna rock 'n roll until the day that I die,
I always wanted to be - a rock 'n roll guitar man

Well honey let me take you to a rock 'n roll dance
I'll tell you how to do it if you give me a chance
I'll give you good music and you're gonna do right
Baby let you rock 'n roll - all through the night

I always wanted to be a rock 'n roll guitar picker
I always wanted to be a rock 'n roll guitar man
I always wanted to be a rock 'n roll guitar man

Well back in my school I was a rock 'n roll fool
I didn't learn my lessons and I thought I was cool
The headmaster caught me, the things that he taught me
Will keep me out of trouble - but rock 'n roll rules

Well I always wanted to be a rock 'n roll guitar picker
I always wanted to be a rock 'n roll guitar man
I never wanted to be a big town city slicker
I always wanted to be a rock 'n roll guitar man

"Rock & Roll Music To The World"
1972 Chrys-A-Lee Music Ltd.

We did some rock and roll up in Texas,
and the folks from the coast towns said,
"You better watch yourself up in Texas or you,
you might just wind up dead, boy."
But the people I found, they were groovin' to the sound
of rock and roll music in the air.
We all had a ball - with no hassles at all;
pretty soon I'm gonna go back there.

I'm singin' rock and roll music to the world,
Rock and roll music to the world.
Ain't no relation to the United Nations,
Keep rock and rollin' to the world.
Give peace a chance, get up and dance
when I sing - rock and roll music to the world.

I'm gonna scream, I'm gonna shout,
Get my emotions - and work them all right out.
I wanna live - just like I give;
No need to fight, wait for tonight
when I sing - rock and roll music to the world.

Rock and roll music to the world, rock and roll music to the world.
Ain't got no callin' - except for ballin',
Rock and roll music to the world.
Don't need no boost, just turn me loose,
and I sing - rock and roll music to the world.
I tell the truth, I ain't no star,
I only shout and leave the rest to my guitar.
