LYRICS to the song: There comes a point where anyone must stop and make a stand when anger makes your reason fade away. Ya know I’ve heard my own voice saying things I never would have said, but I knew that it couldn’t wait another day If I’m backed into a corner no one is my friend I might want to say “I love you” , but I tell you “..it’s the end”. and then I Turn and Walk Away I turn and walk a - way… CHORUS: I turn and walk a - way… Turn and walk a - way… Turn and walk a - way… Turn and walk a - way… I turn and walk a - way… I can feel our future beckoning but my past is with me too … and I’m scared ‘cuz I just don’t know what to do probably turn my back on any chance of spending time with you cuz what I need is time to think things through. I try to tell you what I’m feeling, but my logic sounds insane I see a tear welling in your eye and I know that I’m to blame. but yet I Turn and Walk Away CHORUS: (Guitar Solo) CHORUS: I never once considered the way that I would feel once you agreed with me that day… When I told you that I needed to be FREE to live my life I never thought you’d think it was OK But when I looked into your eyes, I knew what you would say “The First Rule of Freedom is that everyone can play”. and then YOU Turned and Walked Away you Turned and Walked Away CHORUS:

********************************************** You know I wake up every morning The very first thing that I do Is push away my pillow that my arms told me was you. Everything around me reminds me of the good times that we had n' it always gets me thinking… “what was it made you treat me so bad?”. Then I fire up the coffee ... for just one cup instead of two then while I’m takin a shower ... Damn… I see that bottle of your favorite shampoo As I look for a fresh T-shirt, I find those earrings that you'd been looking for in my top drawer and I think "Hey, I'll bring it over to you … " but I ain’t knocking on your New Man’s door CHORUS Was it all my own fault? Did I come on too strong? Is that why I'm lonely today. Did you mean one single word that you said --- or did you always have .... a half-assed love. [SOLO] My friends are always try'n to tell me ... maybe our love just wasn't meant to be if it turns out they're wrong, they all say ... that someday you'll come back to me but between now and then.. I’ll just have to wait and find out whatever will be That all real easy to them but it sure is hard for me The hours turn to days, the days into weeks while I try to find things I can do to fill up my mind and comfort my soul, and keep me from thinking 'bout you. Every now and then there's that one little thing that someone around me will say. And it sends me plunging right back into "How could you leave me this way?" CHORUS

On The Road 04:59
================================================== Rollin’ on down the road where I left you standing at our front door Spirit broken, tryin’ like Hell to hang on just a few miles more Feelin’ like the air is so heavy I can’t even take a breath … and knowing, it was my decision to bring on this living death On the road. All alone. try-ing to forget what I can’t ignore On the Road On my own knowing I got actions to answer for On the road. It’s been 3 days now… since you told me… as I climbed in my Kenworth at dawn You couldn’t take no more of being lonely… so when I get home… you’ll be gone My mind was reeling as you said those words… thinkin’ life is not a victimless crime ‘cuz there’s only one job-I know how to do and it doesn’t offer part-time (SOLO) (CHORUS) Pushing hard… Mile after mile… Town after town… All just a blur Traffic heavy… thru my tears… hauling 20 thousand pounds of douglas fir Feelin-like-I-ought’to-just shut my eyes let this iron devil end all my pain The only thing to hold me back is knowing I would never see you again. On the Road All alone… Trying to forget things I can’t ignore “ “ On my Own. Knowing I got actions to answer for. . . “ “ All alone… Spending every night behind a different door On the Road All alone. I got to hear your voice… just 1 time more Rollin’ on down the road where I left you standing at our front door

------------------------------------------------------------------ Lyrics: When I was young, I tried to be all things to everyone and looking in a mirror … always made me want to run But every year another fear was put to pasture Day by day, I became my Fathers son. I survived the slings and arrows of misfortune Learned to laugh away the pain and have some fun and in time, I came to like what I’d become I remember un-requited love for a girl who didn’t know my name Fear of her rejection made me slink away ashamed. Watching from afar I used to wonder… how to fan her passion into flames then feeling like a fool while others woo’ed her I’d never even tried to stake a claim and I knew I only had myself to blame (CHORUS) As the failures of our youth subside We use the answers they provide to build our armor strong enough to last … Shielding the Future from the past Children grow up slower now than they ever did before They’ve all been so protected they can’t even find the door With an iPhone in their face they’ll never see it they all DEPEND ON Google TO BE smart Lose or win, they always got their trophy but it’s failure that has wisdom to impart so the real world is sure to break their heart At 60 years of age I see things clearer than before The blunders of my childhood I no longer answer for.. Getting older has its drawbacks and its problems .. and dying’s terrifying that’s for sure But when we know our armor is unbroken being younger loses most of its allure and trouble’s not so hard to endure (CHORUS - CHORUS)

LYRICS to the song: Way back when… I first came to town ..I Jammed at the Cantab Lounge. I met a lot of talented people there and some of them were even renowned. One memorable cat named Little Joe Cook taught me many important things. He called me Pony Tail Bob taught me how to play music that swings… Well Little Joe said "Hey, Pony-Tail You got to think of what the music will say?” Them hamburger’s lookin for cheese on top, but they’re depending on the music you play. He said people got their own drama and they got their own romance too so-my-pledge-is-to-help-that-girl get up and dance with you So I think … It’s about time ..for you to dance your pants off you disco freaks It’s about time ..'cause this band is so tight that it squeaks It’s about time that girl found out, you’re the man she’s been dreaming about, and it’s about time you stop sittin' there like some old antiques (Guitar Solo … ) It’s about time ..that you sweat off some of that beer It’s about time for your shoes to beat the floor to tears It’s about time .she found out .. You’re the man she’s been dreaming about . And it’s about time that you stop wasting your best years Little Joe said “Slow dancing’s good. but it's hard to get the girls on the floor.” “and if you’re up there playing slow blues all night, the ladies, they’ll head right for the door”. To get you out of your seat 'n moving your feet, you need songs that Motivate Then the boys and girls can begin to negotiate. . . That's why I sat down and wrote this song about why you’re all here You wanna meet a new friend, see some old ones and drink some beer. But there’s another thing you gotta do that’ll help you get the other things too Ask that pretty girl right over there to dance with you. It’s about time ..you forget about all your fears It’s about time -you-shift your Game into High Gear It’s about time that girl found out .. You’re the man she’s been dreaming about, and it’s about time you stop wasting your best years Hell Yeah .. It’s about time ..that you sweat off some of that beer It’s about time for your shoes to beat the floor to tears It’s about time .she found out .. You’re the man she’s been dreaming about . And it’s about time that you stop wasting your best years It’s about time ..you fought back all your fears It’s about time -you-put this night in High Gear It’s about time she found out .. You’re the man she’s been dreaming about, and it’s about time you stop wasting your best years

Break Time 05:27
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = Oh, I got the feeling things are different.  The way you talk to me has changed. I wanna do some rearranging. I’m tired of your silly game.   I know what you been doin’  you been stepping out on me  but you like that I provide for you,   a life of luxury I’m here to tell you that it’s break time, girl … it’s time to  make the break from me Well, I know that you been havin’  lots of fun behind my back ..seems like you need variety   and I sure can’t  give you that  If you had any decency  you’d pack your stuff and leave  And let me get over you  and have some time to grieve Well I’m telling you it’s break time, girl … Oh…you got to make the break from me SOLOS You can’t escape your Karma you gonna reap the things you sow n’the stuff you’re pulling baby    tells me    it’s your time to go  Maybe somewhere out there  there’s a man that wouldn’t care  but right now, I just want to get you out of my hair So wake up now, it’s break time, girl … You got to make the break from me.   Please help me find a good woman … each day I pray to the lord above Someone I can count on  to give me all her love  A woman who above all else will always be a friend  Someone who will have my back   until the very end I know you can’t be that girl So, you gotta make the break from me I don’t even want you to be that girl   It’s time to make the break from me ..head on out baby pack up your things … and hit the road Oh, it’s break time, girl … Yeah … it’s break time.

LYRICS to the song: As the days go passing by, you wonder how you keep on try’n But you do it anyway … though you don’t know how or why. It gets harder all the time to find the reason or the rhyme And no matter what you try to do … there’s never enough time CHORUS: But don’t give up on love …even though its got to end You know that nothing lasts forever .. but you still have to pretend. When you let love take the wheel … .. you never know where it will go. But, when the time comes to suffer .. you’ll be the last one to know… the last one to know After 20 years together you still hope for many more but you can’t see what’s waiting as you open the next door When something happens to your world that steals the wind from your sails you might feel that you can’t handle what the future entails But you can’t give up on love …even if its got to end You know nothing lasts forever .. but you still have to pretend. When you let love take the wheel … .. you never know where it will go. But, when the time comes to suffer .. you’ll be the last one to know… the last one to know It’s probably pointless to give advice we have to learn things day by day But maybe somewhere there is someone that I can help along the way It always seems like we’re alone But there’s a lot that we all share Though our lives are all different we’re in the same boat everywhere But you can’t give up on love …even though its got to end You know that nothing lasts forever .. but you still have to pretend. When you let love take the wheel … .. you never know where it will go. But, when the time comes to suffer .. you’ll be the last one to know… the last one to know

I gave you all I got to give .. but now you want double So the money I make next week .. it’s already gone CHORUS: I’m not asking you to-pay-back-all-the loans but the well is all dried up and I’m down to the bone so baby how will you get blood from a stone ... On the day we met you told me I had what you needed All for you and none for me .. well that wasn't very fair on the night you left you ripped me open … and left my heart bleeding But now that you’ve gone away … I really don’t care Chorus Guitar Solo Chorus Still.. I don’t mind helping you ‘cause you’re in trouble Yeah I know... I’m wasting my time, but don’t get me wrong. Ya know I gave you all I got to give .. but now you want double Every Penny I Make .. is already gone Chorus

If a man don’t have a lot o’ money, well he don’t mean nothing to you If his wallet is a little too thin, you don’t care what else he can do .. As long as he will buy you everything then nothing else matters to you It don’t matter … if a man loves you You don’t care … if he’s always true well the only things …that you care about are the things he can get for you as long as he buys you everything well that’s all that matters to you and I really don’t like it … You ought to think about why you act that way cuz there’s more that a man can do for you If he can’t afford to take you anywhere, well… cuddlin’ on the couch is real nice too … You know he wouldn’t have to buy you a million things if you just wanted him to be with you But you need a man with lots o’ money, or he won’t mean nothing to you If that paycheck is on the skinny side, you don’t care what else he can do .. as long as he can buy you everything well that’s all that seems to matter to you Well baby You … are a Money Lovin’ Woman Yeah baby You … are a Money Lovin’ Woman I said You … are a Money Lovin’ Woman Yeah…. you

You came home late again last night Out partyin’ with your friend … talking with Marilu bout what I can’t do and all the changes she recommends Well, I don’t care what that girl thinks ‘cuz she don’t have a clue   We both know she’s empty headed  And she’s teachin’ it all to you So stop right now, your point’s been made There’s been e-nough said, so… Come on, Just Go Yeah, Come on, Just Go. So, please girl, keep your story 'cuz I don't want to know I’ve had it with your complainin’ Just pack your things and go. I don't want to hear about where you been and why I need to change I just want space between me and you I need you outta my hearing range. So please don't waste any more of your breath ... burnin' my ear off, so… Come on, Just Go Yeah, Come on, Just Go. All this yelling ain’t n ever gonna change a thing Except make my headache worse, and my ears ring If you’re unhappy here Why don’t you disappear Just imagine how contented you would be Ya know I really wanna make you happy. Sounds crazy but it’s true cuz the way I’ll do it is simple I’ll walk (STOP) right out on you. The life we’ve had’s been so filled up…with arguments and noise I think the time has finally come for you to see some other boys You must be tired of finding fault with me… with never the slightest gain You’d better move before it’s too late and we both go down the drain Well you take your stuff, and I’ll take mine it’s time for leavin’, so… Come on, Just Go Yeah, Come on, Just Go

Look Around 04:59
LYRICS Every time you turn around, your whole world’s turnin’ up side down but in your mind it’s nothing that you did. Nothin’ seems to go your way. You spend all your time thinkin’ what to say to make sure that what you’re hiding all stays hid. Everywhere you go you find a guy who never seems to mind doing all the things too hard for you But your plan just ain’t no good at all you set yourself up for a fall gettin’ paid for work that others do for you … Look Around Oh, look around. No one else here is having such a hard time. Aw, Look Around. Oh, look around. When are you gonna see the problem is inside of you? You try so hard to make it appear that you’re like all the other people here. Inside, you hope your bad luck won’t return. It’s Karma girl not luck at all the one you’ve built is just like a ball that’s rolling fast downhill and it won’t return When you use up all the people here you’re next step is to disappear and start the process over somewhere new With all the players just the same the only difference is their name You feel like you pulled off such a coup... Oh, Look Around Oh, look around. There ain’t no one else but you... thats having such a hard time. Look Around. Oh, look around. When are you gonna see that the problem is inside of you? You try to show how hard you try, but you will never justify the way you’ve treated people that call you Friend. No matter what you say or do, There’s no one more at fault than you You gotta always pay the piper in the end. Someday soon you’re gonna find you have to learn to use your mind when your body no longer buys you anything I hope you find out what to do when time catches up to you but I think your answer will be some fool’s wedding ring. Look Around Oh, look around. Oh , there ain’t no one else but you... thats having such a hard time. I said look Around. Oh, look around. When are you gonna see that the problem is inside of you? When are you gonna see that the problem’s inside of you? Oh, when are you gonna see the problems inside of you?

====================== === Song Lyrics - (mostly) By Dave Mason ====================== Oooooh … Seems I got to have a change in scene Cause every night I have the strangest dreams Imprisoned by the way things might have been Left here on my own or so it seems I got to leave before I start to scream But someone locked the door and took the key CHORUS: (You) Feelin' alright? I’m not feelin' too good myself Are You Feelin' alright? I’m not feelin' too good myself, good myself Baby you sure took me for one big ride Even now I sit and I wonder why… And when I think of you I stop myself from crying I just can’t waste my time, I must keep dry. Got to stop believin' in all your lies Cause there’s too much to do before I die CHORUS: (Guitar SOLO) Oooooh … Don’t ya get too lost in all this stuff I'm sayin' Cause you know at the time… I really felt this way But that was then… and now it's today and I can't get off yet so I'm here to stay ‘til someone comes along and takes my place With a different name and a different face CHORUS: Vamp & 2nd Solo Oooooh …
