1. WHERE HAVE ALL THE GOOD TIMES GONE ?

All my life Ive never stopped to worry `bout a thing,
Open up and shout it out,an' never try to sing,
Wondering if Ive done it wrong,
Will this depression last for long,wont you tell me,
Where have all the good times gone.
Where have all the good times gone.
Where have all the good times gone.
Once we had an easy ride and always felt the same,
Time was on our side and we had everything to gain,
This could be like yesterday,
Is thst me with your happydays,
Where have all the good times gone.
Where have all the good times gone.
Where have all the good times gone.
Ma and pa look back on all the things they used to do,
Never had no money and they always told the truth,
Daddy didnt need no little toys,
Mommy didnt need no little boys,Wont you tell me,
Where have all the good times gone.
Where have all the good times gone.
Where have all the good times gone.
Ow!
Yesterday was such an easy game for you to play,
Ah but then lets face it,things are easier today,
Yes you need some bringing down,
Get your feet back on the ground,
Where have all the good times gone.
Where have all the good times gone.
Where have all the good times gone.
Where have all the good times gone.
Where have all the good times gone.


2. HANG'EM HIGH

Somewhere,lost it in a turn
Trouble seems to fit him like a glove.
First come,First served,he's serving it back,
Travels light,without a pack,without love.
He comes from nowhere,returns on his own,
late for the hanging,yes he's heading for the moon
Hang `em High.
Leather,across his thighs,
Blasting out the night,he's terrified to drive.
One eye on the road, crashed upon his head,
One ear to the ground,he's listening to the dead.
He comes from nowhere,returns on his own,
late for the hanging,yes he's heading for the moon
Hang `em High.
Alone to himself,he's laughing up his sleeve,
Looking back in anger,the city is rleaved.
Vision of Light,
Child of the night,
Passing by


3. SECRETS

She aint waiting til she gets older,
Her feet are making tracks in teh winter snow,
She got a rainbow that touches her shoulder,
She be headed where the thunder rolls,
Ah,ah,ah
She got rhythm,
Got that rhythm,of the road
Ah,ah,ah
She get crazy,
Woman get crazy if she cant go
Ah but ah,she just looking good.
She comes like the secret wind
Shes as strong as the mountains,walks tall as a tree.
She been there before,she'll never give in,
She'll be gone tomorrow like the silent breeze.
Ah,ah,ah
She got rhythm,
Got that rhythm,of the road
Ah,ah,ah
She get crazy,
She get crazy if she cant go
Ah but ah,she just looking good.
You know how sometimes,you got to rush,
You're running blind,but she jumps the gun.
Question is,not does love exist,but when,she leaves,where she goes.
I got a feeling she dont know either,
Wait like the wind,watch where she blows.
Oh,oh, got that rhythm,
That sweet rhythm,of the road
Oh,oh,oh she get crazy,
Woman get crazy,if she cant go
Oh,oh a looking good
Ah yes!

6. LITTLE GUITARS

Senorita I'm in trouble again and I can't get free
(Senorita) You're exactly what the doctor ordered, come on talk to me
(Ah) Can't crow before I'm out of the woods
But there's exceptions to the rule
(Ah-ah) Senorita, do you need a friend? I'm in love with you

Catch as catch, catch as catch can
Anybody in their right mind could see, it's you and me
Oooh-ooo-ooh
Oooh-oooh

You say you're lonesome, just getting by
But you turn your eyes from me
Be sure you're hurting long before you fly 'cause, you've got me

Catch as catch, catch as catch can
Anybody in their right mind could see, you and me
Catch as catch, catch as catch can
When I see you, all your little guitars sing to me

I can see you don't know which way to turn
But the sun still shines
(Senorita) Don't you know that you can dance with me, anytime?
(Ah) Can't crow before I'm out of the woods
There's exceptions to the rule

7. BIG BAD BILL IS SWEET WILLIAM NOW

Big Bad Bill (is sweet William now)
Well,way down yonder in Louisville,
Lived a cat named Big Bad Bill,
I wants to tell ya,
Ah the cat was rough and tough and would strutt his stuff
Had the whole town scared to death,
When he walked by they all held their breath,
He's a fighting man, sure enough
And then Bill got himself a wife,
Now he leads a different life...
Big Bad Bill is sweet William now,
Married life done changed him somehow,
He's the man the town used to fear,
Now they all call him sweet pappa Willie dear,
Stronger than Samson I declare,
Til the brown skinned woman,
Bobbed his hair
Big Bad Bill dont fight any more,(No he dont)
Doing the dishes,mopping up that floor (Yes he is)
Well he used to go out drinking,
Looking for a fight,
Now he gotta see that woman,everynight,
Big Bad Bill is sweet william now
Ah Play it boys.

Big Bad Bill dont fight any more,(No he dont)
Doing the dishes,mopping up that floor (Yes he is)
Well he used to go out drinking,
Looking for a fight,
Now he gotta see that woman,everynight,
Big Bad Bill is sweet william now (doing the dishes)

Big Bad Bill is sweet william now
