Lyrics

I”m gonna take a freight train
Down at the station, Lord
I don”t care where it goes
Gonna climb a mountain
The highest mountain
I”ll jump off, nobody gonna know

Can”t you see, whoa, can”t you see
What that woman, Lord, she been doin” to me
Can”t you see, can”t you see
What that woman, she been doin” to me

I”m gonna find me
A hole in the wall
I”m gonna crawl inside and die
”Cause my lady, now
A mean ol” woman, Lord
Never told me goodbye

Can”t you see, ohh, can”t you see
What that woman, Lord, she been doin” to me
Can”t you see, can”t you see
What that woman, Lord, she been doin” to me

I”m gonna buy a ticket, now
As far as I can
Ain”t a-never comin” back
Ride me a southbound
All the way to Georgia, now
Till the train, it run out of track

Can”t you see, ohh, can”t you see
What that woman, Lord, she been doin” to me
Can”t you see, can”t you see
What that woman, she been doin” to me
Oh, Lord

Can”t you see, whoa, can”t you see
What that woman, Lord, she been doin” to me
Can”t you see, whoa, can”t you see
What that woman, she been doin” to me

Can”t you see (oh, she”s such a crazy lady), can”t you see
What that woman (what that woman) she been doin” to me
Can”t you see (Lord, I can”t stand), can”t you see
What that woman (ohh), she been doin” to me
Can”t you see (I”m gonna take a freight train)
Can”t you see (down at the station, Lord)
What that woman, she been doin” to me (ain”t never comin” back) oh oh
Can”t you see (gonna ride me a southbound, now)
Can”t you see (all the way to Georgia, Lord)
What that woman, she been doin” to me (till the train run out of track), oh

Creedence Clearwater Revival’s album, “Willy and the Poor Boys” under the label, “Fantasy”
Written by John Fogerty
Performed by The MLC Project - Lead vocals by Bill Carpenter (Westland Class of 1973)

Lyrics

Some folks are born made to wave the flag
They”re red, white and blue
And when the band plays "Hail to the Chief"
They point the cannon at you, Lord

It ain”t me, it ain”t me
I ain”t no senator”s son, son
It ain”t me, it ain”t me
I ain”t no fortunate one

Some folks are born silver spoon in hand
Lord, don”t they help themselves, yeah
But when the taxman comes to the door
The house look a like a rummage sale

It ain”t me, it ain”t me
I ain”t no millionaire”s son, no, no
It ain”t me, it ain”t me
I ain”t no fortunate one

Yeah, some folks inherit star-spangled eyes
They send you down to war
And when you ask ”em, "How much should we give?"
They only answer, "More, more, more"

It ain”t me, it ain”t me
I ain”t no military son, son
It ain”t me, it ain”t me
I ain”t no fortunate one, one

It ain”t me, it ain”t me
I ain”t no fortunate one
It ain”t me, it ain”t me
I ain”t no fortunate one

Lyrics

It”s not in the way that you hold me
It”s not in the way you say you care
It”s not in the way you”ve been treating my friends
It”s not in the way that you stayed till the end
It”s not in the way you look or the things that you say that you”ll do
Hold the line, love isn”t always on time, oh oh oh
Hold the line, love isn”t always on time, oh oh oh
It”s not in the words that you told me, girl
It”s not in the way you say you”re mine, ooh
It”s not in the way that you came back to me
It”s not in the way that your love set me free
It”s not in the way you look or the things that you say that you”ll do
Hold the line, love isn”t always on- time, oh oh oh
Hold the line, love isn”t always on time, oh oh oh
(Solo)
It”s not in the words that you told me
It”s not in the way you say you”re mine, ooh
It”s not in the way that you came back to me
It”s not in the way that your love set me free
It”s not in the way you look or the things that you say that you”ll do
Hold the line, love isn”t always on time, oh oh oh
Hold the line, love isn”t always on time, oh oh oh
(Love isn”t always on time)
Hold the line, love isn”t always on time
(Love isn”t always, love isn”t always on time)
Hold the line, love isn”t always on time, love isn”t always on time
Love isn”t always on time, love isn”t always on time, oh oh oh

Lyrics

Whatcha gonna do when she says goodbye
Whatcha gonna do when she is gone
Whatcha gonna do when she says goodbye
Whatcha gonna do when she is gone

So you’re having trouble with your romance
Well you better check it out before it goes
’Cause you may not be seein’
Things just the way you should
And you don’t recognize what everybody knows

Whatcha gonna do when she says goodbye
Whatcha gonna do when she is gone
Whatcha gonna do when she says goodbye
Whatcha gonna do when she is gone

And all at once you’re ready to hang it up
’Cause things didn’t turn out the way you planned
And all your friends they’re calling you a fool
’Cause you don’t know a good thing
When you got it in your hands

Whatcha gonna do when she says goodbye
Whatcha gonna do when she is gone
Whatcha gonna do when she says goodbye
Whatcha gonna do when she is gone

And all at once you’re ready to hang it up
’Cause things didn’t turn out the way you planned
And all your friends they’re calling you a fool
’Cause you don’t know a good thing
When you got it in your hands

Whatcha gonna do when she says goodbye
Whatcha gonna do when she is gone
Whatcha gonna do when she says goodbye
Whatcha gonna do when she is gone

I been up, I been down.
Take my word, my way around.
I ain’t askin’ for much.
I said, Lord, take me downtown,
I’m just lookin’ for some tush.

I been bad, I been good,
Dallas, Texas, Hollywood.
I ain’t askin’ for much.
I said, Lord, take me downtown,
I’m just lookin’ for some tush.

Take me back way back home,
not by myself, not alone.
I ain’t askin’ for much.
I said, Lord, take me downtown,
I’m just lookin’ for some tush.

Written by Glenn Frey and Don Henley
Performed by The MLC Project - Lead vocals by Mark Wardlow (Westland Class of 1974)

Lyrics

Desperado,why don’t you come to your senses
You been out ridin’ fences for so long now
Oh, you’re a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin’ you
Can hurt you somehow

Don’t you draw the Queen of Diamonds, boy
She’ll beat you if she’s able
You know the Queen of Hearts is always your best bet

Now, it seems to me some fine things
Have been laid upon your table,
But you only want the ones that you can’t get

Desperado, oh, you ain’t gettin’ no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they’re drivin’ you home

And freedom, oh freedom, well that’s just some people talkin’
Your prison is walking through this world all alone

Don’t your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won’t snow and the sun won’t shine
It’s hard to tell the night time from the day
You’re losin’ all your highs and lows;
Ain’t it funny how the feeling goes away?

Desperado, why don’t you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences; open the gate
It may be rainin’, but there’s a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you, before it’s too late

Van Morrison’s album, “Blowin’ Your Mind!” under the label, “Bang Records”
Written by Van Morrison
Performed by The MLC Project - Lead vocals by ?

Lyrics

Hey, where did we go?
Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow
Playin’ a new game
Laughin’ and a-runnin’, hey, hey
Skippin’ and a-jumpin’
In the misty morning fog with
Our, our hearts a-thumping and you
My brown-eyed girl
And you, my brown-eyed girl
And whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow?
Going down the old mine with a
Transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing
Hiding ’hind a rainbow’s wall
Slipping and sliding
All along the waterfall with you
My brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing?
Sha-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la tee-da
Just like that
Sha-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la tee-da, la-tee-da
So hard to find my way
Now that I’m all on my own
I saw you just the other day
My, how you have grown
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometimes I’m overcome thinking ’bout it
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you
My brown-eyed girl
You, my brown-eyed girl
Do you remember when we used to sing?
Sha-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la tee-da
Sha-la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la, la-la tee-da

“Take me Home, Country Roads” - 1971
John Denver’s album, “Poems, Prayers, and Promises” under the label, “RCA”
Written by Bill Danoff, Taffy Nivert, and John Denver
Performed by Saundra Lynn (Moore) Chapman and Angela (Phillips) Gelasi

Lyrics

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, growin’ like a breeze

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

All my memories gather ’round her
Miner’s lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

I hear her voice in the mornin’ hour, she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
Drivin’ down the road, I get a feelin’
That I should’ve been home yesterday, yesterday

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

Take me home, (down) country roads
Take me home, (down) country roads
