1. GOOD MORNING

When all the faces are filled with joy
Life's a holiday, whoa yeah
Now i'm feeling more and more this way
As morning leads the day i say oh boy

Now the darkest night has run to hiding shadows
Sunbeams come a dancing in the aisle
Here comes her majesty and royal sunshine
Arising in the wind of heaven's child

Good morning to you
Good morning to you
Good morning to you
Good morning to you
Here we are in our places
With bright, shining faces
And in our eyes is the new day

Good morning
Good, good, good, good morning
Good, good, good, good morning
Good, good, good, good morning
Yeah


2. I LOVE YOU

I want you
I need you
Cause i love you

I, i, i, i love you
Where shall we go
What shall we do
Cause i love you

I, i, i, i love you
Do do do do do do.....

I love you


3. GOING TO THE COUNTRY

Gonna leave the city put my troubles behind
People in the city goin' out of their minds
Goin' to the country just to feel like gold
People in the country really let themselves go

Hey, ho, one thing i know
People in the country got one thing for sure
Hey, ho, one thing i know
Every mother's child really lets himself go

Goin' to the country and leavin' right away
No time to talk i got to make a getaway
Gonna leave the city it's a crime and a shame
People in the city are goin' insane

Hey, ho, one thing i know
Every mother's child really lets himself go
Hey, ho, one thing i know
People in the country really let themselves go

Joining hands
Making plans
Come on down
Look around


4. HOT CHILI

Sittin' here thumbin' through the pages of a magazine
The pages tell me come right away, you know what i mean
The air is so spacey, the ladies are lacey
And there is nothing you gotta do
But eat hot chili

Hot chili is groovy
After a movie or watching tv
But when you order
South of the border
Soon you see
It's hotter than noon
It will melt your spoon
So buddy, you better get ready
For eatin' hot chili
It's not silly
To eat hot chili

Passport in hand
I made my plan to get away
Hopped on a plane
Rode out of the rain the very same day
Soon as i landed
My wish it was granted
Lovely senoritas always drinkin' tequila, yeah, yeah, yeah
And eatin' hot chili
Eatin' hot chili
I love hot chili

Ooh i love it hot chili
Hot chili, ooh


5. TOKIN'S

Sittin' gettin' higher in the back of a limousine
While people all around me
They are finding it harder to dream
Impossible people seen only in nightmares
Are beginning to make it real
And disorder keeps fadin'
The times they are changin'
Well, i wish i was behind the wheel

So i could live it just a little bit longer
Do my best to make our love stronger
In a while i know it's gonna change
We've got to live it just a little bit longer
Do our best to make our love stronger
In a while i know it's gonna change

Well, time and time and time again
I've been stuck out in the rain
But life has been so doggone sweet
There's no reason to complain
But the time has come for all to be one
Yes, we can talk about it now
And from the middle of the mess
Here comes one more guess
And i know it's gonna work somehow

If we can live it just a little bit longer
Do our best to make our love stronger
In a while i know it's gonna change
We've got to live it just a little bit longer
Do our best to make our love stronger
In a while i know it's gonna change

Cause we've gotta live it just a little bit longer
Do our best to make our love stronger
In a while i know it's gonna change
We've got to live it just a little bit longer
Do our best to make our love stronger
In a while i know it's gonna change

Now who would ever believe it could happen
Right here in my hometown
Especially when it's so far north
Of the mason-dixon line
But some of the people they just won't forget
While others slip into regret
And if things keep goin' the way they're goin'
I just might get killed yet

But i wanna live it just a little bit longer
Do my best to make our love stronger
In a while i know it's gonna change
We've got to live it just a little bit longer
Do our best to make our love stronger
In a while i know it's gonna change
And in a while i know it's gonna change
And in a while i know it's gonna change


6. GOING TO MEXICO

Pack my bags
Don't be too slow
I should have quit you baby
A long time ago
Left you flat
And split for mexico

Don't try to stop me
Child, you're talkin' too fast
You and your friends babe
You are a thing in my past
You're much too slow
I'm goin' to mexico

I've got four or five hundred miles to go
Down that southbound highway
'53 studebaker goin' for broke
I'm pushin' it night and day
I've had enough of your lies
To last a long, long time
You and your mother, babe
You're like a nursery rhyme
You're much too slow
I'm goin' to mexico

Yeah, come on baby
Yeah


7. STEVE MILLER'S MIDNIGHT TANGO

You have a cup of coffee and another cigarette
You're waiting for your baby but she hasn't shown yet
And if she doesn't make it, well you've got no regrets
Because you can't win or lose if you ain't made no bets
And then she comes in walkin' lookin' fine as you please
You wanna stop and drop right down on your knees
And say baby
Whoa

You say you never worry cause you don't need a home
Don't need an address, don't need a phone
And you don't have to worry 'bout bein' alone
Cause you can make your music on a ten cent comb
And then she comes in walkin' lookin' fine as you please
You wanna stop and drop right down on you knees
And say baby
Whoa


8. INDUSTRIAL MILITARY COMPLEX HEX

Feel like i'm livin' under some kind of hex
Livin' in here in this industrial military complex
Doesn't really help when i read time magazine
Cause they only distort the scene
The sky is so hazy i can't even see the sun
Livin' here is like livin' under a gun
I really do wonder 'bout the united nations
Why don't they face the situations

I'm a troubadour
Lookin' for a dream
I'm a troubadour
Lookin' for some dream

Lord, i'm so tired of payin' all of these dues
From sunday to sunday all i hear is bad news
Tired of the war and those industrial fools
Got to make it better cause i've got nothin' to lose

Ain't too clear to pay my income taxes
'specially when i know it goes to kill the masses
Love to hear the president make it perfectly clear
How the donkeys and the elephants are police up here

I'm a troubadour
Lookin for a dream
I'm a troubadour
Lookin for some dream

Lord, i'm so tired of payin' all of these dues
From sunday to sunday all i hear is bad news
Tired of the war and those industrial fools
I've got to make it better cause i've got nothin' lose
Won't somebody help me cause i've gotten in my shoes
Those industrial military complex blues


9. JACKSON-KENT BLUES

I was down in nashville just payin' my dues
Headed for ohio when i read the news
'bout the people demonstrating 'gainst the president's views
Four were shot down by the national guard troops
Just like uncle sam i put on my fighting shoes
School shot down cause there's no more to lose
Now we're headed to d.c. two by twos
Cause those low down, profound, killin' four blues

Lookin' for my congressman to make it well known
But the politicians already won't answer his telephone
Making in his office while they're shooting kids down at home
Worried about the voters but he won't be worried long

Silent majority still glued to the tube
Say cia ain't lookin', fbi come unglued
Shot some more in jackson just to show the world what they can do
While we're marching to d.c. cause there's too much to do

Give peace a chance
Give peace a chance
There's no turnin' back my friend
There's no turnin' back

When the president said that the tear gas is gone
The army's pulled out leavin' blood on the ground
The streets are empty and the crying's died down
You can be president if no one's around
Just like kow kow, you've heard it before
Get back gangster, don't you open that door
Space cowboy's back to tell you the score
Nothing any good is gonna come from a war
Got those low down, profound, killin' four blues

Give peace a chance
Give peace a chance
Give peace a chance


10. NEVER KILL ANOTHER MAN

When the wind blows you home
To the shores of home
Will you be one of those
Who killed another man

When the wind blows you home
To the shores of home
Will you be one
Who killed another man
Killed another man
Killed another man
Killed another man

If i can make it through this life
If i can make it through this life
If i can make it
If i can make it
I'll never kill another man
As my time rolls out
As my time rolls out
If i can make it
If i can make it
I'll never kill another man with these hands
Never kill another man
