1-TRAIN KEPT A ROLLIN'
(Bradshaw, Mann, Kay)
well, on a train, I met a dame,
she rather handsome, we kind looked the same
she was pretty, from New York City
I'm walkin' down that old fair lane,
I'm in heat, I'm in love,
but I just couldn't tell her so
I said, train kept a-rollin' all night long
train kept a-rollin' all night long
train kept a-rollin' all night long
train kept a-rollin' all night long
with a "heave!", and a "ho!"
but I just couldn't tell her so, no, no, no
well, get along, sweet little woman get along
on your way, get along, sweet little woman get along
on your way,
I'm in heat, I'm in love,
but I just couldn't tell her so, no, no, no

well, we made a stop in Albequerque
she must'a thought I was a real cool jerk
got off the train, and put her hands up
lookin' so good I couldn't let her go
but I just couldn't tell her so
I said, train kept a-rollin' all night long

2-KINGS AND QUEENS
(Hamilton/Kramer/Tyler/Whitford/Douglas)
long ago in days untold
were ruled by lords of greed
maidens fared with gold they dared
to bare their wombs that bleed
kings and queens and guillotines
taking lives denied
starch and parchment laid the laws
when bishops took the ride
only to deceive
oh I know I
lived this life afore
somehow I know now
truths I must be sure
tossin', turnin', nightmares burnin'
dreams of swords in hand
sailing ships, the Viking spits
the blood of father's land
only to deceive
living times of knights and mares
raising swords for maidens fair
sneer at death, fear only loss of pride
living other centuries
deja vu or what you please
follows true to all who do or die
screams of no reply
they died
screams of no reply
and died died
lordy, lordy, they died
3-SWEET EMOTION
(Tyler, Hamilton)
talk about things and nobody cares
wearing other things that nobody wears
ya callin' my name, but I gotta make it clear
can't say where I'm gonna be in a year.
some sweat hog mama with a face like a gent
said my get up and go musta got up & went.
you got good news but you're a real good liar
cause backstage lover set your pants on fire.
riff 8x, sweet emotion 2x
pulled into town in a police car
your daddy said I took you just a little too far.
tellin' other things, but your girlfriend lied
can't catch me cause the rabbit done died.
standin' in front just shakin' your ass.
take you back stage you can drink from my glass.
talk about something you can sure understand
cause a month on the road and i'll be eatin' from your hand.
4-DREAM ON
(Tyler)
every time that I look in the mirror
all these lines on my face getting clearer
the past is gone
it went by like dusk to dawn
isn't that the way
everybody's got their dues in life to pay
yeah, I know nobody knows
where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
you got to lose to know how to win
half my life's in books' written pages
live and learn from fools and from sages
you know it's true
all the things come back to you
sing with me, sing for the years
sing for the laughter and sing for the tears
sing with me, if it's just for today
maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
dream on (3x)
dream yourself a dream come true
dream on (3x)
dream until your dream comes true
dream on (7x)
5- MAMA KIN
(Tyler)
It ain't easy, livin' like a gypsy.
Tell ya, honey, how I feel.
I've been dreaming,
Floatin' down stream and
Losin' touch with all that is real.
Whole earth lover, keepin' under cover
Never knowin' where ya been.
You've been fadin', always out paradin.
Keepin' touch with Mama Kin.
Well you've always got your tail on the wag.
Shootin' fire from your mouth just like a dragon.
You act like a perpertual drag.
You better check it out,
Or someday soon you'll have to climb back on the wagon.
It ain't easy, livin' like ya wanna,
And it's so hard to find piece of mind. Yes it is.
The way I see it, you've got to say shit.
But don't forget to drop me a line.
Said you're as bald as an egg at eighteen.
And workin' for you dad is just a drag.
He still stuffs your mouth with your dreams.
You better check it out,
Or someday soon you'll have to climb back on the wagon.
Keepin' touch with Mama Kin.
Tell her where you've gone and been.
Livin' out your fantasy,
Sleeping late and smoking tea.(2x)

6-THREE MILE SMILE
(Tyler/Perry)
take a walk in the warm New England sun
ain't no time to look for clues
you get the point from Uncle Sam's loaded gun
who be the hand that light the fuse
take a look, take a look at my old billy goat
he used to raise all kinds of hell
he took a dose of radiation dope
back in the barn is where he fell, like hell
Lucy, chromosome
Lucy, superdome
what makes you think you patronizin' my old friends
after you ride in my parked car
what you do when your oil's mexican
OPEC boys you went too far, too far
Lucy, papadum
Lucy, sing the song
ah, dig it up ah, live it up(2x)
look out
7-REEFER HEAD WOMAN
(Melrose/Bennett/Gillum)
I got a reefer headed woman
she fell right down from the sky
I got a reefer headed woman
she fell right down from the sky
well, I gots to drink me two fifths of whiskey
just to get half as high
when the good Lord made that woman
he sure went to town
ooh, when the good Lord made that woman
he sure went to town
well, when he was feelin' high
ooh, he sure shoulda been feelin' low
8-LORD OF THE THIGHS
(Tyler)
Down to who knows who, just to socialize.
I'm waiting for my girls, when you call my eyes.
You got no way to make a man honey,
You got to understand.
I'm your man, child. Lord of the Thighs.
Well, well, Lordie my God,
What do we got here?
She's flashin' 'cross the floor,
Make it perfectly clear.
You're the bait, and you're the hook,
Someone 'bound to take a look.
I'm your man, child. Lord of the Thighs.
You must of come here to find it,
You've got the look in your eyes.
Although you really don't mind it -
I am the Lord of your Thighs!
You must of come here to find it baby,
You've got the look in your eyes.
Although you really don't mind it
I am the Lord of your Thighs!
