1. Kodachrome3:32

   Letra

   When I think back On all the crap I learned in high school It's a wonder I can think at all And though my lack of education Hasn't hurt me none I can read the writing on the wall Kodachrome They give us those nice bright colors They give us the greens of summers Makes you think all the world's a sunny day I got a Nikon camera I love to take a photograph So mama don't take my Kodachrome away If you took all the girls I knew When I was single And brought them all together for one night I know they'd never match my sweet imagination Everything looks worse in black and white
2. Tenderness2:53

   Letra

   What can I do What can I do Much of what you say is true I know you see through me But there's no tenderness Beneath your honesty Right and wrong Right and wrong Never helped us get along You say you care for me But there's no tenderness Beneath your honesty You and me were such good friends What's your hurry? You and me could make amends I'm not worried I'm not worried Honesty Honesty It's such a waste of energy No you don't have to lie to me Just give me some tenderness Beneath your honesty You don't have to lie to me Just give me some tenderness
3. Take Me To The Mardi Gras3:32

   Letra

   C'mon take me to the Mardi Gras Where the people sing and play Where the dancing is elite And there's music in the street Both night and day Hurry take me to the Mardi Gras In the city of my dreams You can legalize your lows You can wear your summer clothes In the New Orleans And I will lay my burden down Rest my head upon that shore And when I wear that starry crown I won't be wanting anymore Take your burdens to the Mardi Gras Let the music wash your soul You can mingle in the street You can jingle to the beat Of Jelly Roll
4. Something So Right4:34

   Letra

   You've got the cool water When the fever runs high You've got the look of lovelight in your eyes And I was in crazy motion Til you calmed me down It took a little time But you calmed me down When something goes wrong I'm the first to admit it I'm the first to admit it But the last one to know When something goes right Well it's likely to lose me It's apt to confuse me It's such an unusual sight I can't get used to something so right Something so right They've got a wall in China It's a thousand miles long To keep out the foreigners They made it strong I've got a wall around me You can't even see It took a little time To get next to me When something goes wrong I'm the first to admit it I'm the first to admit it But the last one to know When something goes right Well it's likely to lose me It's apt to confuse me It's such an unusual sight I can't get used to something so right Something so right Some people never say the words I love you It's not their style to be so bold Some people never say those words I love you But like a child they're longing to be told When something goes wrong I'm the first to admit it I'm the first to admit it But the last one to know When something goes right Well it's likely to lose me It's apt to confuse me It's such an unusual sight I can't get used to something so right Something so right
5. One Man's Ceiling Is Another Man's Floor3:44
6. American Tune3:44

   Letra

   Many's the time I've been mistaken And many times confused Yes, and I've often felt forsaken And certainly misused But I'm all right, I'm all right I'm just weary to my bones Still, you don't expect to be Bright and bon vivant So far away from home, so far away from home And I don't know a soul who's not been battered I don't have a friend who feels at ease I don't know a dream that's not been shattered or driven to its knees But it's all right, it's all right For we've lived so well so long Still, when I think of the road we're traveling on I wonder what's gone wrong I can't help it, I wonder what's gone wrong And I dreamed I was dying I dreamed that my soul rose unexpectedly And looking back down at me Smiled reassuringly And I dreamed I was flying And high up above my eyes could clearly see The Statue of Liberty Sailing away to sea And I dreamed I was flying We come on the ship they call the Mayflower We come on the ship that sailed the moon We come in the age's most uncertain hour and sing an American tune But it's all right, it's all right You can't be forever blessed Still, tomorrow's going to be another working day And I'm trying to get some rest That's all, I'm trying to get some rest
7. Was A Sunny Day3:40

   Letra

   Was a sunny day Not a cloud was in the sky Not a negative word was heared From the people passing by Was a sunny day All the birdies in the trees And the radio's singing song All the favorite melodies He was a navy man Stationed in Newport News She was a high school queen With nothing left to lose CHORUS Her name was Lorelei She was his only girl She called him Speedoo But his Christian name Was Mr.Earl CHORUS
8. Learn How To Fall2:45

   Letra

   You got to learn how to fall Before you learn to fly And mama, mama it ain't no lie Before you learn to fly Learn how to fall You got to drift in the breeze Before you set your sails It's an occupation where the wind prevn Before you set your sails Drift in the breeze Oh and it's the same old story Ever since the world began Everybody got the runs for glory Nobody stop and scrutinize the plan Nobody stop and scrutinize the plan You got to learn how to fall Before you learn to fly The tank towns they tell no lie Before you learn to fly Learn how to fall
9. St. Judy's Comet3:19
10. Loves Me Like A Rock3:32

    Letra

    When I was a little boy And the Devil would call my name I'd say "now who do ... Who do you think you're fooling?" I'm a consecrated boy Singer in a Sunday choir My mama loves, she loves me She gets down on her knees and hugs me She loves me like a rock She rocks me like the rock of ages And she loves me When I was grown to be a man And the Devil would call my name I'd say "now who do . .. Who do you think you're fooling?" I'm a consummated man I can snatch a little purity My mama loves me, she loves me She gets down on her knees and hugs me She loves me like a rock She rocks me like the rock of ages And she loves me If I was President And the Congress call my name I'd say "who do ... Who do you think you're fooling?" I've got the Presidential Seal I'm up on the Presidential Podium My mama loves me She loves me She gets down on her knees and hugs me And she loves me like a rock She rocks me like the rock of ages And she loves me She loves me, loves me, loves me, loves me
