2. JET AIRLINER

Leavin' home, out on the road
I've been down before
Ridin' along in this big ol' jet plane
I've been thinkin' about my home
But my love light seems so far away
And i feel like it's all been done
Somebody's tryin' to make me stay
You know i've got to be movin' on

Oh, oh big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, oh big ol' jet airliner
Cause it's here that i've got to stay

Goodbye to all my friends at home
Goodbye to people i've trusted
I've got to go out and make my way
I might get rich you know i might get busted
But my heart keeps calling me backwards
As i get on the 707
Ridin' high i got tears in my eyes
You know you got to go through hell
Before you get to heaven

Big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, oh big ol' jet airliner
Cause it's here that i've got to stay

Touchin' down in new england town
Feel the heat comin' down
I've got to keep on keepin' on
You know the big wheel keeps on spinnin' around
And i'm goin' with some hesitation
You know that i can surely see
That i don't want to get caught up in any of that
Funky shit goin' down in the city

Big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, oh big ol' jet airliner
Cause it's here that i've got to stay

Oh, oh big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, oh big ol' jet airliner
Cause it's here that i've got to stay
Yeah, yeah yeah, yeah

Big ol' jet airliner
Don't carry me too far away
Oh, oh big ol' jet airliner
Cause it's here that i've got to stay

Oh, oh big ol' jet airliner
Carry me to my home
Oh, oh big ol' jet airliner
Cause it's there that i belong


3. WINTER TIME

In the winter time
When all the leaves are brown
And the wind blows so chill
And the birds have all flown for the summer
I'm callin', hear me callin', hear me callin'

In the winter time
When all the leaves are brown
And the wind blows so chill
And the birds have all flown for the summer
I'm callin', hear me callin', hear me callin'
I'm callin', hear me callin', hear me callin'
In the winter time

In the winter time
When all the leaves are brown
And the wind blows so chill
And the birds have all flown for the summer
I'm callin', hear me callin, hear me callin'


4. SWINGTOWN

Ooo oooohhhh

Come on and dance, come on and dance
Let's make some romance
You know the night is fallin'
And the music's callin'
And we've got to get down to swingtown

We've been workin' so hard

5. TRUE FINE LOVE

I ain't complainin'
But i'd sure like to find me
A true, fine love
Someone another
That's as sweet as your mother
A true, fine love

Cause the time is right
For walking in the moonlight
I have suddenly found i'm ready to settle down
So come on get your rocks off
I'm gonna knock your socks off

You'll see, oh yeah
So come on pretty baby
We're going to raise a family

There'll be no hesitatin'
Cause i'm so tired of waitin'
For a true, fine love

So come on get your rocks off
I'm gonna knock your socks off

You'll see, oh yeah

We'll have a boy for you, we'll have a girl for me
Come on baby raise a family

So come on get your socks off

6. WISH UPON A STAR

Close your eyes
Rest your head
Let your spirits rise
Sleepy head
Rest your mind
It's been well fed
You can be what you want to

And it doesn't matter who you are
It doesn't matter where you are
If you wish upon a star
If you wish upon a star

And it doesn't matter who you are
It doesn't matter where you are
If you wish upon a star
If you wish upon a star

Close your eyes
Say goodnight
Hug your lover
Real tight
Let your dreams
Into your heart
Let your dreams take flight

And it doesn't matter who you are
It doesn't matter where you are
If you wish upon a star
If you wish upon a star

It doesn't matter who you are
It doesn't matter where you are
If you wish upon a star
If you wish upon a star

It doesn't matter who you are
It doesn't matter where you are
If you wish upon a star
If you wish upon a star


7. JUNGLE LOVE

I met you on somebody's island
You thought you had known me before
I brought you a crate of papaya
They waited all night by your door
You probably wouldn't remember
I probably couldn't forget
Jungle love in the surf in the pouring rain
Everything's better when wet

Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy
Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy

But lately you live in the jungle
I never see you alone
But we need some definite answers
So i thought i would write you a poem
The question to everyone's answer
Is usually asked from within
But the patterns of the rain
And the truth they contain
Have written my life on your skin

Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy
Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy

You treat me like i was your ocean
You swim in my blood when it's warm
My cycles of circular motion
Protect you and keep you from harm
You live in a world of illusion
Where everything's peaches and cream
We all face a scarlet conclusion
But we spend our time in a dream

Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy
Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy

Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy
Jungle love it's drivin' me mad
It's makin' me crazy

9. SACRIFICE

Thought about the folks back home
All those miles that we had roamed
Still can see your pretty hair
When i come back will you be there
You flew away like a kite
I hope you find your light
I pray they treat you right
What a sacrifice

Miles and miles i have roamed
Lookin' for that home sweet home
Thought i had the love with you
But i found out that you weren't true
You made me feel so nice
Ready for wedding rice
Then you said no dice
What a sacrifice

Lookin' back on time that's gone
I realized i might have been wrong
But macon took you for a ride
They broke us up for their own pride
But you were young and didn't understand
That you had found your lifetime man
Maybe someday you'll see
It gets so lonely being free
So don't be wrong twice
What a sacrifice


10. THE STAKE

Burnin' burnin' all you can take
Wheels are turning in the bed you make
I'll take you over, you're tied at the stake
Nobody loves you like the way i do

Light rain's over
The sun's all around
Four leaf clover
As i pull you down
I'll take you over
You're tied at the stake
Nobody loves you like the way i do
Nobody loves you like the way i do
Nobody loves you like the way i do


11. MY OWN SPACE

Sittin' high on a hillside takin' in all the growth
Time to throw away my problems
Cause i made 'em up myself
So i took all those worries, put 'em up on a shelf
And headed on down to the sea shore

Clouds slowly passin' as i walked on the sand
I picked up a seashell and i made up my plan
I could feel the spirit of life in my hand
As i reached my destiny

Whoa ho ho ho oh oh oh whoa
I feel free
Whoa ho ho ho oh oh oh whoa
Where i can have my own space

I walked on the beach in the early morn
I ran on the sand till i could breathe no more
I stood on a rock looking out at the sea
And believed what i said when i said
I feel free

Whoa ho ho ho oh oh oh whoa
I feel free
Whoa ho ho ho oh oh oh whoa
Where i can have my own space
