KEEPIN' TIME
(M. Galley/T. Galley)

I ain't got a ticket but I'm gonna ride
Just 'gotta keepin' time with the music
I'm raisin' my hands up but I'm touchin' the sky
Just gotta keepin' time with the music

Don't stop. Don't stop the music
Don't stop. Don't stop the band
Don't stop. We're goin' to use it
Don't stop. Don't stop the band
Don't stop. Don't stop the music
Don't stop. Don't stop the band
Don't stop. We're goin' to use it
Don't stop. Don't stop the band

Don't stop now 'cause I'm breakin' through
Just 'gotta keepin' time with the music
I can't stop my feelings it's all up to you
Just gotta keepin' time with the music

Don't stop. Don't stop the music
Don't stop. Don't stop the band
Don't stop. We're goin' to use it
Don't stop. Don't stop the band

Don't stop. Don't stop the band


COAST TO COAST
(Hughes)

Goin' today, just passin'
The road I know, so well
Seems the more, I ride you
You give me more, you'll tell

And if I try, soon it will show
To keep me strong
And know that, I've had times, so good
From Coast to Coast
Leavin' my hard times behind
oh yeah, behind

And if I try, soon it will show
To keep me strong
And know that, I've had times, so good
From Coast to Coast
Leavin' my hard times behind
oh yeah, oh I love so

I love you so
Oh yeah

I love the Coast, I love the Coast
Oh yeah


WHAT IS A WOMAN'S ROLE
(Hughes)

Haaaaaaah, Haaaaaaaah, Haaaaaaah

What is a woman's role
Got to know a woman's role

Turned out I had some time to stay
But the word you asked me anyway
But you thought I was trying to follow you about
I've got to know
I don't 'wanna call out

It's in your soul
It's a woman's role

Haaaah, Haaaaah

Too bad you didn't trust me
But the change in you came fast
And I knew how it would be

You can't hold me down
That's one thing for sure
I've got to know, what I came here for
What is a woman's role

Haaaah, Haaaaah

Reaching out to tell me
Need your help, I know you're on my side girl
I need you right away

(Solo)

Turned out I had some time to stay
But the word you asked me anyway
But you thought I was trying to follow you about
I've got to know
I don't 'wanna call out

It's in your soul
It's a woman's role

Haaaah, Haaaaah

Got something to tell me
Mmmmmm, you got a lot to tell me
Mmmmmm, what is a woman's role

'Cause I need a woman
Ooooh I need woman
Ooooh, yes I do

I need your hand, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do

Ooooh missing your soul baby

What do you need?
I need a woman
What do you need?
Said I need a woman
What do you need?
I need a woman
What do you need?
Said I need a woman
What do you need?
What do you need?
Said I need a woman, woman, woman
What do you need?
One that's gonna take away my blues
What do you need?
She's gonna give me back my role now
What do you need?


WAY BACK TO THE BONE
(Hughes)

Can't say you have it 'til you know what you find
To get it right and to make it in time
It's down to myself and my friends help me along
It's not what you say it's the feeling that's the song

It's strange, it seems
I hadn't felt it
'Til I got home
I drove right back to the place again
I said listen; way back to the bone
I'm coming home

This time I was open, this time I was greased
And make some suggestions and call out my peace
I've got to keep movin', keep movin' along
It's not what you say it's the feeling that's the song

It's strange, it seems
I hadn't felt it
'Til I got home
I drove right back to the place again
I said listen; way back to the bone
I'm coming home

Well, well, oh well
Well, well, you know darn well

Can't say you have it 'til you know what you find
To get it right and to make it in time
It's down to myself and my friends help me along
It's not what you say it's the feeling that's the song

It's strange, it seems
I hadn't felt it
'Til I got home
I drove right back to the place again
I said listen; way back to the bone
I'm coming home

I'm coming home
Coming home
I'm coming home

You'd better get ready
You'd better get ready, yeah, yeah
You don't forget to bring it
You don't forget to bring it
Say, you don't forget to bring it
Whooo
Go boy, don't forget
Oooh yeah

Back to Top of Page

FEELIN' SO MUCH BETTER NOW
(Hughes)

Lord
You are wrong
Let's work it out
You're coming on strong
I'm just a boy
Who's never at home
But when I get back, I'll be travelin' alone

Listen
Eagle Eyes in the U.S.A
I was there last night
And it was okay
The sun was going down
No, I'll never forget
That gold town

What more
I got loose, messed around
I passed out (out on the ground)

Feelin' so much better now
I've changed my mind, somehow
And when it's my turn
It's 'gonna show

Oh Lord Jesus
I need your way

I need to hold 'ya
I 'wanna stay
'Cuz you know
I'm right on the line
And you know there won't be a second time, oh no

I got loose, messed around
I passed out (out on the ground)

Feelin' so much better now
I've changed my mind, somehow
And when it's my turn
It's 'gonna show

Feelin' so much better now
I've changed my mind, somehow
And when it's my turn
It's 'gonna show

Feelin' so much better now
I've changed my mind, somehow
And when it's my turn
It's 'gonna show

Feelin' so much better now
I've changed my mind, somehow
And when it's my turn
It's 'gonna show


WILL OUR LOVE END
(Hughes)

Ahhhhhhhh - Ahhhhhhhh

You said you had some friends, across the river
You almost didn't go, but you change your mind
Now I sit alone, mmmmmm...thinking about you
Talking, to myself

No, you must know, how hard it all must be
To walk around, with love left in your heart
No, I know this isn't right
Where are you, you're on your own

Come on, do something fast
You know, I won't last
Will our love end
Will our love end
Will our love end
I wonder

Come on, do something fast
You know, I won't last
Will our love end
Will our love end
Will our love end
I wonder

I'll see you soon my friend, across the river
Surely I will go, I won't change my mind
Will I sit alone, mmmmmm...thinking about you
Talking, to myself

Come on, do something fast
'Cause you know, I won't last
Will our love end
Will our love end
Will our love end
I wonder

Ahhhhhhh - Ahhhhhhh


LOSER
(M. Galley/T. Galley)

Losing my direction
Running out of time
Walkin' around in circles
Going out of my mind

I'm down for the third time
I'm glad to see
Everything is changing
Everything but me

I'm a loser, I'm a loser
I'm a loser, I'm a loser

(Loser, loser, loser, loser)

Seems the more I want to
No matter how I've tried
Always destinations
Seems to pass me by

Taking all I offer
All I have to give
Leaving me alone now
Still my life to live

I'm a loser, I'm a loser
I'm a loser, I'm a loser

(Loser, loser, loser, loser)

Don't you know, don't you know
I'm a loser, I'm a loser, yeah


YOU ARE THE MUSIC
(M. Galley/T. Galley)

Get up to the rhythm
Start by clapping your hands
You don't need the words now
It's easy to understand
Get your body movin'
Keep time with the beat
Somewhere in the middle
We're all 'gonna to meet

You are the music, we are the band
We're gonna make it, we both need a hand
'Cause you are the music... we are the band
Together we'll make it, across this land

Makes you feel better
Go right and stomp your feet
Take the hands of your sisters
And the brothers that you meet
We are all one together
Partyin' feeling fine
You can't take the music, it's yours and mine

'Cause you are the music, we are the band
We're gonna make it, with both feet ahead
'Cause you are the music...we're just the band
Together we'll make it...

'Cause you are the music, we're just the band
Together we'll make it, across this land

Get up to the rhythm
Start by clapping your hands
You don't need the words now
It's easy to understand
Get your body movin'
Keep time with the beat
Somewhere in the middle
We're all 'gonna to meet

'Cause you are the music, we are the band
We're gonna make it, we both need a hand
'Cause you are the music...we're just the band
Together we'll make it, across this land
