- I Feel Free2:54
Letra
Feel free when I dance with you We move like the sea. You, you're all I want to know I feel free. I feel free. I feel free. I can walk down the street, there's no one there Though the pavements are one huge crowd I can drive down the road; my eyes don't see Though my mind wants to cry out loud I feel free. I feel free. I feel free I can walk down the street, there's no one there Though the pavements are one huge crowd I can drive down the road; my eyes don't see Though my mind wants to cry out loud Though my mind wants to cry out loud Dance floor is like the sea Ceiling is the sky You're the sun and as you shine on me I feel free. I feel free. I feel free - Sunshine of Your Love4:11
Letra
It's getting near dawn, When lights close their tired eyes. I'll soon be with you my love, To give you my dawn surprise. I'll be with you darling soon, I'll be with you when the stars start falling. I've been waiting so long To be where I'm going In the sunshine of your love. I'm with you my love, The light's shining through on you. Yes, I'm with you my love, It's the morning and just we two. I'll stay with you darling now, I'll stay with you till my seas are dried up. I've been waiting so long I've been waiting so long I've been waiting so long To be where I'm going In the sunshine of your love. - White Room4:59
Letra
In a white room with black curtains, by the stations Black roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings Silver horses ran down moonbeams, in your dark eyes Dawn-light smiles on you leaving, my contentment I'll wait in this place where the Sun never shines Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves You said no strings could secure you at the station Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows I walked into such a sad time at the station When I walked out, felt my own need just beginning I'll wait in this place where the Sun never shines Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd Consolation for the old wounds now forgotten Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in het dark eyes She's dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings I'll wait in this place where the Sun never shines Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves - Crossroads (Live At Winterland)4:08
- Badge2:42
Letra
Thinkin' 'bout the times you drove in my car Thinkin' that I might have drove you too far And I'm thinkin' 'bout the love that you laid on my table I told you not to wander 'round in the dark I told you 'bout the swans, that they live in the park Then I told you 'bout our kid, now he's married to mabel Yes, I told you that the light goes up and down Don't you notice how the wheel goes 'round? And you better pick yourself up from the ground Before they bring the curtain down Yes, before they bring the curtain down Talkin' 'bout a girl that looks quite like you She didn't have the time to wait in the queue She cried away her life since she fell off the cradle - Presence of the Lord4:49

Letra
The rain is falling through the mist Of sorrow that surrounded me. The sun could never thaw away The the bliss that lays around me. Let it rain, let it rain, Let your love rain down on me. Let it rain, let it rain, Let it rain, rain, rain. Her life was like a desert flower Burning in the sun. Until I found the way to love, It's harder said than done. Chorus Now I know the secret; There is nothing that I lack. If I give my love to you, You'll surely give it back. Chorus - Bell Bottom Blues5:01

I shot the sheriff But I did not shoot the deputy I shot the sheriff But I didn't shoot the deputy All around my home town They're trying to track me down They say they want to bring me in guilty For the killing of the deputy For the life of a deputy I said I shot the sheriff But I swear it was in self defense I shot the sheriff And they say it was a capital offense Sheriff John Brown always hated me For what? I don't know But every time that I plant a seed He said, "kill it before it grows" (2x) I said (2x) I shot the sheriff But I swear it was in self defense Freedom came my way one day And I started out of town All of a sudden I see Sheriff John Brown Aimin' to shoot me down So I shot, I shot him down I said (2x) I shot the sheriff But I did not shoot the deputy Reflexes got the better of me And what is to be must be Every day the bucket falls to the well One day the bottom will drop out Yes, one day the bottom will drop out I said I shot the sheriff But I didn't shoot the deputy Oh, no, oh, no I shot the sheriff But I did not shoot no deputy Oh, no - Knockin' on Heaven's Door4:24
- Hello Old Friend3:34
Letra
As I am strolling down the garden path, I saw a flower glowing in the dark. It looked so pretty and it was unique; I had to bend down just to have a peek. Hello old friend, It's really good to see you once again. Hello old friend, It's really good to see you once again. I saw you walking underneath the stars; I couldn't stop 'cause I was in a car. I'm sure the distance wouldn't be too far If I got out and walked to where you are. Chorus An old man passed me on the street today; I thought I knew him but I couldn't say. I stopped to think if I could place his frame. When he tipped his hat I knew his name. Chorus Chorus - Cocaine3:35

If you wanna hang out you've got to take her out Cocaine If you wanna get down, down on the ground Cocaine She don't lie She don't lie She don't lie Cocaine If you got bad news, you wanna kick them blues Cocaine When your day is done and you wanna run Cocaine She don't lie She don't lie She don't lie Cocaine If your thing is gone, and you wanna ride on Cocaine Don't forget this fact, you can't get it back Cocaine She don't lie She don't lie She don't lie Cocaine She don't lie She don't lie She don't lie Cocaine - Lay Down Sally3:49
Letra
There is nothing that is wrong In wanting you to stay here with me. I know you've got somewhere to go, But won't you make yourself at home and stay with me? And don't you ever leave. Chorus: Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms. Don't you think you want someone to talk to? Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon. I've been trying all night long just to talk to you. The sun ain't nearly on the rise And we still got the moon and stars above. Underneath the velvet skies, Love is all that matters. Won't you stay with me? And don't you ever leave. I long to see the morning light Coloring your face so dreamily. So don't you go and say goodbye, You can lay your worries down and stay with me. And don't you ever leave. - Wonderful Tonight3:41
Letra
It's late in the evening She's wondering what clothes to wear She'll put on her make-up And brushes her long blond hair And then she'll ask me: Do I look alright? And I'll say: Yes, you look wonderful tonight We'll go to a party And everyone turns to see This beautiful lady That's walking around with me And then she'll ask me: Do you feel alright? And I'll say: Yes, I feel wonderful tonight I feel wonderful Because I see the love light in your eyes And the wonder of it all Is that you just don't realize How much I love you It's time to go home now I've got an aching head So I'll give her the car keys She'll help me to bed And then I'll tell her As I turn out the light I say: My darling, you were wonderful tonight Oh, my darling, you were wonderful tonight Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh - Promises2:59
Letra
I don't care if you never come home I don't mind if you just keep on rowin' away on a distant sea 'Cause I don't love you and you don't love me You cause a commotion when you come to town You give 'em a smile and they melt Having lovers and friends is all good and fine But I don't like yours and you don't like mine La la, la la la la La la, la la la la I don't care what you do at night Oh, and I don't care how you get your delights I'm gonna leave you alone I'll just let it be I don't love you and you don't love me I got a problem Can you relate? I got a woman callin' love hate We made a vow we'd always be friends How could we know that promises end? La la, la la la la La la, la la la la I tried to love you for years upon years You refuse to take me for real It's time you saw what I want you to see And I'd still love you if you just loved me I got a problem Can you relate?

- Miss You5:07
Letra
Don't change your mind, I ain't got the time to sit and wonder. I'm doing fine. If you decide to leave, I won't go under. You know I've come this far without you; It won't be too hard to be alone. I've got choices all around me, So I won't be spending too much time at home. Girl, I'm gonna miss you. I'm gonna miss you, baby. I can't forgive you, Still I'm gonna miss you, baby. No, don't say a word. I already heard that you don't love me. In your state of mind, I don't need to hear your side of the story. Your friends all said we had a future And I don't think I really want to know. My friends keep telling me to lose you And how glad they'll be when you decide to go. Chorus I broke my back to make you happy. Sometime, somehow, someone's got to care. If you think you're better off without me, Just remember, it's a dirty world out there. Chorus I'm gonna miss the ground you walk on, Gonna miss the air you breathe. I'm just not quite happy, baby, 'bout your crazy plans to leave. - Pretending4:43
Letra
How many times must we tell the tale? How many times must we fall? Living in lost memory You just recalled Working on the sound of the band Trying to get the music right Two go out working Three stay home at night That's when she said she was pretending Like she knew the plan That's when I knew she was pretending Pretending to understand Pretending, pretending Pretending, pretending Satisfied but lost in love Situations change You're never who you used to think you are How strange I get lost in alibis Sadness can't prevail Everybody knows strong love Can't fail Don't be pretending about how you feel Don't be pretending that your love is real Don't be pretending about how you feel Don't be pretending that your love is real - Bad Love5:08
Letra
Oh, what a feeling I get when I'm with you You take my heart into everything you do And it makes me sad for the lonely people I walked that road for so long Now I know that I'm one of the lucky people Your love is making me strong I've had enough bad love I need something I can be proud of I've had enough bad love No more bad love And now I see that my life has been so blue With all the heartaches I had 'till I met you But I'm glad to say now that's all behind me With you here by my side And there's no more memories to remind me Your love will keep me alive I've had enough bad love I need something I can be proud of I've had enough bad love No more bad love I've had enough bad love I need something I can be proud of I've had enough bad love No more bad love I've had enough bad love I need something I can be proud of I've had enough bad love No more bad love I've had enough I've had enough No more bad love I've had enough I've had enough - Tears in Heaven4:35

Would you know my name If I saw you in Heaven? Would it be the same If I saw you in Heaven? I must be strong And carry on 'Cause I know I don't belong Here in Heaven Would you hold my hand If I saw you in Heaven? Would you help me stand If I saw you in Heaven? I'll find my way Through night and day 'Cause I know I just can't stay Here in Heaven Time can bring you down Time can bend your knees Time can break your heart Have you begging please Begging please Beyond the door There's peace, I'm sure And I know there'll be no more Tears in Heaven Would you know my name If I saw you in Heaven?

- Riding with the King4:25
Letra
I dreamed I had a good job and I got well paid. I blew it all at the penny arcade. A hundred dollars on a kewpie doll. No pretty chick is gonna make me crawl. Get on a TWA to the promised land. Every woman, child and man Gets a Cadillac and a great big diamond ring. Don't you know you're riding with the king? He's on a mission of mercy to the new frontier, He's gonna check us all on out of here. Up to that mansion on a hill Where you can get your prescription filled. Get on a TWA to the promised land. Everybody clap your hands. And don't you just love the way that he sings? Don't you know we're riding with the king? Riding with the king. Don't you know we're riding with the king? A tuxedo and shiny 335. You can see it in his face, the blue never lie. Tonight everybody's getting their angel wings. And don't you know we're riding with the king? I stepped out of Mississippi when I was ten years old With a suit cut sharp as a razor and a heart made of gold. I had a guitar hanging just about waist high And I'm gonna play this thing until the day I die. Don't you know we're riding with the king? Don't you know we're riding with the king? Riding, you're riding with the king. You're riding, you're riding with the king. - Sweet Home Chicago5:17

Letra
If I had possession over judgment day, If I had possession over judgment day, Lord, the women I'm lovin' would have no right to pray. And I went to the mountain, far as my eye could see. Lord, I went to the mountain, far as my eye could see. Some other man got my woman and the lonesome blues got me. And I rolled and I tumbled, cried the whole night long. Lord, I rolled and I tumbled, cried the whole night long. And I woke up this morning, my biscuit rollin' on. Had to fold my arms and slowly walked away. (I didn't like the way she done.) Lord, I fold my arms and I slowly walked away. Well, I said in my mind, "Your trouble gonna come some day." Well, now run here baby, get down on bended knee. Lord, now run here baby, get down on bended knee. I wanna tell you all about the way they treated me. - Ride the River4:35
