Back in the U.S.A. written by Chuck Berry © Arc Music Corp (BMI) Oh well oh well I feel so good today We just touched ground on an international runway Jet-propelled back home from overseas to the USA New York, Los Angeles Oh how I yearn for you Detroit, Chicago, Chattanooga, Baton Rouge God I long to be at my home back in old St Lou Did I miss the skyscrapers Did I miss the long freeway From the coast of California To the shores of the Delaware Bay You can bet your life I did Till I got back to the USA Looking hard for a drive-in Searching for a corner cafe Where hamburgers sizzle on an open grill night and day Yeah, and the jukebox jumping with records back in the USA I'm so glad I'm living in the USA Yes I'm so glad I'm living in the USA Anything you want we got it right here in the USA Ah we're so glad we're living in the USA Yes we're so glad we're living in the USA Anything you want we got it right here in the USA Ah we're so glad We're so glad Ah we're so glad We're so glad |

Alison written by Elvis Costello © Plangent Vision Music Inc (ASCAP) Well it's so funny to be seeing you after so long girl Ah but the way you look I understand that you are not impressed But I heard you let that little friend of mine Take off your party dress I'm not gonna get too sentimental like those other sticky valentines 'Cause I don't know if you were loving somebody I only hope he wasn't mine Alison, I know this world is killing you Oh Alison, my aim is true Well I see you've got a husband now Well did he leave your pretty fingers lying in the wedding cake You used to hold him right in your hand Ah but he took all he could take Sometimes I wish that I could stop you from talking When I hear the silly things that you say I think somebody better put out the big light 'Cause I can't stand to see you this way Alison, I know this world is killing you Oh Alison, my aim is true My aim is true My aim is true My aim is true |
White Rhythm and Blues written by John David Souther © Ice Age Music (ASCAP) I don't want you to hold me tight Till you're mine to hold And I don't even want you to stay all night Just until the moon turns cold All I need is black roses White rhythm and blues And somebody who cares when you lose Black roses, white rhythm and blues You say that somebody really loves you You'd find her if you just knew how But honey, everyone in the whole wide world Is probably asleep by now And they're dreaming of Black roses, white rhythm and blues And somebody who cares when you lose Black roses, white rhythm and blues Close your eyes Sleep away all your blues I've done everything but lie Now I don't know what else I can do Ah, the night time sighs and I hear myself But the words just stick in my throat Would you think that somebody like me Might hurt much more than it shows Just send me black roses White rhythm and blues And somebody who cares when you lose Black roses, white rhythm and blues Black roses, white rhythm and blues |
All That You Dream written by Paul Barrére and Bill Payne © Naked Snake Music (ASCAP) I've been down but not like this before Can't be 'round this kind of show no more All, all that you dream Comes through shining silver lining clouds Clouds change the scene Rain starts washing all those cautions into your life Makes you realize just what is true What else can you do Just follow the rules Keep your eyes on the road that's ahead of you I've been down but not like this before Can't be 'round this kind of show no more All of the good times were ours In the land of milk and honey Time, time adds its scars Rainy days they turn to sunny ones Living the life, living the life, loving everyone I've been down but not like this before Can't be 'round this kind of show no more I've been down but not like this before Can't be 'round this kind of show no more |

Mohammed's Radio written by Warren Zevon © Zevon Music (BMI) Everybody's restless And they got no place to go Someone's always trying to tell them Something they already know So their anger and resentment flow Don't it make you want to rock and roll All night long Mohammed's radio I heard somebody singing sweet and soulful On the radio Mohammed's radio You know the sheriff's got his problems too And he will surely take them out on me and you In walks the village idiot and her face is all aglow Because she's been up all night listening to Mohammed's radio Don't it make you want to rock and roll All night long Mohammed's radio I heard somebody singing sweet and soulful On the radio Mohammed's radio Everybody's desperate Trying to make ends meet Work all day still can't pay The price of gasoline and meat Alas their lives are incomplete Don't it make you want to rock and roll All night long Mohammed's radio I heard somebody singing sweet and soulful On the radio Mohammed's radio You've been up all night just listening for his drum Hoping that the righteous might just might just might just might just come I heard the general whispering to his aide de camp Be watchful for Mohammed's lamp Don't it make you want to rock and roll All night long Mohammed's radio I heard somebody singing sweet and soulful On the radio Mohammed's radio Mohammed's radio |
I'm Blowing Away written by Eric Kaz © Glasgo Music I've been romanced dined and danced Crazy nights and wild times But my life has lost its mystery Love is blind and it cannot find me I'm blowing away Shadows take my love and leave I'm blowing away Shadows keep taking my love and leaving me And I have cast aside my foolish pride And I'm going down for the last time And I have searched this earth And I've sailed these seas Love is blind and it cannot find me I'm blowing away Shadows take my love and leave I'm blowing away Shadows keep taking my love and leaving me You keep taking my love and leaving me |
