Trip the Light Fantastic ------------------------------ Let's trip the light fantastic, darling Watch the world spin around your head Let's risen up the bow little darling Until the moon is dead Let's drag the sun up in the east Start a fire for the feast Celebrate until all feelings gone Let's trip the light fantastic, baby And foxtrot to the dawn ------------------------ Let's trip the light fantastic, darling Join hands and tie the noose (Turn it loose) Let's trip the light fantastic And ride the red caboose Let's turn the amps up way past ten And rock out Wild Thing once again Play until all our senses bleed Let's trip the light fantastic, baby In our hour of need ------------------------- Let's paint the town in fiery red Raise a ruckus, raise the dead Roll away the stone and start again Let's trip the light fantastic, baby Won't you please just tell me when --------------------------

Earrings Drop 03:53

Earrings Drop ------------------- My Girl looks so good walking with me on our street She always has a smile for everyone that we meet And i know what they're thinking what she doing with a fellow like me? But when we walk through our door she's still here beside me -------------- She takes her earrings off And let's her long hair drop I'm so glad that she's my girl I'm the luckiest guy in the world The whole wide world ------------- My Girl makes me grin, her morning kiss makes my day begin She turns me on with ease She makes my life such a breeze And i hear all that talking she's too good for a fellow like me She always picks me up and lets me be me ----------------- She takes her earrings off And let's her long hair drop I'm so glad that she's my girl I'm the luckiest guy in the world The whole wide world ------------- And when the lights go out And there's no one about She's alone with me And when we go all the way She's the only one going with me Only me ----------------

Travelling guitar man ——————————- Driving all night long The radio is playing your song Coming in on the airwaves loud and strong On and on through the night You see her face in every passing taillight And you wish she was here with you for tonight --------------------------- She sits by the fire alone Waiting for your phone call I love you, I love you They’re waiting at the concert hall And through the light you can hear them call I love you, I love you -------------------------- Travelling guitar man Won’t you play that song for me You got the keys to the rainbow And you got the colours for me Come on give me what I’m needing Paint me a picture of life Come on give me all your bleeding Come on, I know you can Travelling guitar man ---------------------------- (Solo interlude) ---------------------------- Another town another show One more down so many more to go You do it for love You do it for her And one day she will know ------------------------------------ She sits by the fire alone Waiting for your phone call I love you, I love you I guess she knew it all along She wears your ring and her heart holds strong And you love her, you love her -------------------------------- Travelling guitar man Won’t you play that song for me You got the keys to the rainbow And you got the colours for me Come on give me what I’m needing Paint me a picture of life Come on give me all your bleeding Come on, I know you can Travelling guitar man -------------------------------------

Going Home 04:09
lyrics

Going Home --------------------- Train I ride keeps me searching for gold And falling leaves They don’t keep me from the cold Going home And you were smiling Seems a long time ago And goodbye lover And the train was moving slow Going home And finding reasons Why man must make his way And put his dreams out on the line And you’re the reason Why I’m passing through this way All alone Going home Lonely crossroads Seems I’ve been there before The rain is falling down I’m seeking shelter from the storm Going home And you were laughing You smile forever in my mind And goodbye lover Seems I left those dreams behind Going home And finding reasons Why man must make his way And put his dreams out on the line And you’re the reason Why I’m passing through this way All alone Going home

Julietta ------------- Julietta You need to forget her She's just no good for you Julietta She's a big go-getter And that will never do --------------- Take it from me I've seen her around With other girls that look just like you All legs and all smiles Beauty that runs for miles And you should start running too ---------------------- Julietta Do i need to write a letter She's just stringing you along Julietta You know you can do better Try the guy singing this song ------------- Love is strange But we are stranger Strangers to the joy we crave Love is forever For brave hearts together And that is reason enough to save you --------------- Julietta You know I've never met her But actions speak louder than sound Julietta She'll sell you out; don't let her For myself i just need you around ----------------

Oh these days are surely numbered ------------------------------------------------ The devil’s in the corn tonight The fields are empty and the moon Ain’t right Tried to warn her she just wouldn’t see Dante’s hellhounds following me Oh these days are surely numbered Oh these days are bound to fall Oh these days are surely numbered Watch the shadows climb the wall Mama’s in the kitchen I can see her working through the screen door in a pool of light Daddy says “You Ain’t worth nuthin’ until a good woman sets things right” Oh these days are surely numbered Oh these days are bound to fall Oh these days are surely numbered Watch the shadows climb the wall We were walking hand in hand by the stream How was I to know if it was just a dream Life dripping from a switchblade knife I guess She will always be my wife Oh these days are surely numbered Oh these days are bound to fall Oh these days are surely numbered Watch the shadows climb the wall Goodness lies on the river bed Rocks and stones for her sweet head Stars are set like jewels above And shine forever to mark our love Oh these days are surely numbered Oh these days are bound to fall Oh these days are surely numbered One is love and love is all Love is all

It will do for now --------------------- Day by day i get more confused Keep on running on empty trying not to lose If there's an answer well it sure as hell ain't here All this down time ain't making it more clear ------------------ But it will do for now Anytime any place anyhow It will do for now All that heaven will allow ------- Day by day it gets a little harder to take What you give ain't what you get or even get to make If there's a God gonna call her up right now Ask for a line of credit interest free --------------- But it will do for now Anytime any place anyhow It will do for now All that heaven will allow ------------ The world is changing That much is for sure Don't need to tie myself to it Any more Think i'll head to mars Where sunsets are blue The skyline is red It's crazy but it's true ------------- But it will do for now Anytime any place anyhow It will do for now All the heavens will allow -------------- Day by day i get more confused Running around in circles that revolve around you It's the gravity of the situation The planets align for such a short space of time right now --------------------- But it will do for now Anytime any place anyhow It will do for now All the heavens will allow ---------------------

Fancy Free ------------------ You walk the road You keep your code And it doesn't really matter 'bout the load You walk the land Without a hand Without a worry or a sole demand I see you there Where drifters dare And it doesn't really matter if they care But I can't see Why you left me Left me for the road Fancy Free -------------------- You just drifted out on the summer rain Without a thought or worry on your brain You just drifted out on the summer rain And I'm telling you I won't get caught again -------------------- Interlude -------------------- You are alone You've got no home But it doesn't really matter when you roam You live for now As time allows Without a worry of when or how I see you lie Where drifters die And it doesn't really matter if they pass you by Still I can't see Why you left me Left me here alone Fancy Free ---------------------- You just drifted out on the summer rain Without a thought or worry on your brain You just drifted out on the summer rain And I'm telling you I won't be caught again -------------------- Chorus repeat instrumental --------- And I'm telling you I won't be caught again Fancy Free

To Journey the unknown ---------------------------------- The truth sits on the lips of dying love And cries out for help from above To be misunderstood is to stand alone To know you is to journey the unknown --------------------- Darling Please help me Take my hand and lead me to salvation Show me your wonderful elation Darling Don't leave me Standing in the tracks of your tears Just know your Love to me is the weather when it clears away ----------------- The truth sits on the lips of dying love And cries for help from above To be misunderstood is to stand alone To know you is to journey the unknown --------------------- To journey the unknown Is to cross the threshold of your embrace Soft in perfumes and lace To journey the unknown Is to read the love deep in your eyes And that smile upon your face -------------------- Darling If you want me I will walk by your side into tomorrow Where you lead i am surely bound to follow And darling hand in mine Let's walk together in the sunshine Just know you will be my forever valentine --------------------- The truth sits on the lips of dying love And cries for help from above To be misunderstood is to stand alone To know you is to journey the unknown ---------------------
