Play For Free

Piano man came into town,
But they didn't wan't his sound
So they said "play for free so you might be found"
So he packed up his wurlitzer,
And he drove across town.
So he could play for free so he might be found
AND HE PLAYED FOR THEM ALL
NOT A CENT WAS MADE BUT FOR THE BAR
HIS FINGERS PLAYED THROUGH HIS HEART
AND DR JOHN WOULD PLAYBACK IN THE CAR
They said "It's not the seventies anymore"
"You have got to change that sound"
"Play for free so you might be found."
After the show was done,
Some people were hanging out,
Wanting to play for free so they might be found.
CHORUS
He doesn't need an open mic
He's got plenty in his house
but they said "play for free so you might get found"
He doesn't understand tonight
Because the music is not a job.
So he could "Play for free so he might get found"
OUTRO
Play for free so you might get found

What you need, I got it
What you want, you don't know
But just try, think about it
Maybe we can start it up
ARE YOU GONNA CRY YOUR WAY TO HEAVEN
ARE YOU GONNA CRY YOU WAY TO HEAVEN
ARE YOU GONNA CRY YOUR WAY TO HEAVEN
IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE GONNA DO?
What you have is a question
And the answer, is in my love
Just try, think about it
Don't cry, I'm a man you could love
CHORUS
I looked really hard, I can't find you
I probably should be getting a clue
I know how you are, when you don't get what you want
I guess I don't mind your abuse
are you gonna cry?
are you gonna cry girl yeah
are you gonnna cry your way cry your way
cry your way cry your way
cry your way CRY YOUR WAY YEAH
SOLO
CHORUS

Goodbye To My Lady
04:22
|

|
I know these times are uncertain
But I didn't expect her to say
Though we've been together all of this time
She says its time for a change
It's not you it is everything
And I just can't take it this way
I love you, you love me and darling
That just not enought to get me to stay, so
I SAID GOODBYE TO MY LADY
AND I TRIED TO UNDERSTAND
I SAID GOODBYE TO MY LADY
I KNOW THINGS WONT BE THE SAME
Today, through words unspoken,
Wanted to tell you something from my day, then
I remembered that we've been dismembered
And it hurts to not tell a thing
This hurts you this hurts me and darling
I'm trying to forget what we said.
I love you you love me and darling
That's not enough to get me to stay
CHORUS
SOLO
I know she's been thorugh some changes
Clearly she's not quite done
With that darkness inside tearing her life apart
But she brought me down to see her pain
CHORUS
WE CAN'T LKEEP GOING
IT'S JUST A DROP IN THAT OCEAN
OF PAIN
WE JUST CAN'T SWIM
I know this time we are chanigng
We are both moving on
Not sure what was
Really contained in the phrase
I've got to work on me
CHORUS
I SAID GOODBYE
AND IT MADE ME CRY
ON THE PHONE
"I'LL PACK YOUR THINGS"
OH

My Town

It was a valentine's day disaster
And what more could I expect
As my life keeps moving faster
You are getting further and further away
WHY DID YOU HAVE TO COME BACK TO
MY TOWN
I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU
DON'T NEED YOU HERE
AND WAS IT REALLY SO HARD
TO STAY OUT?
I DON'T WANNA SEE YOU
BUT I DONT WANT TO SEE YOU GO
You were my dream
Of the perfect love to be
I know I'm not
And you don't have the same evil
that I've got
CHORUS
VOCAL HALF/ORGAN HALF
RIFF x1
I'm on a plane
Headed for what remains
Maybe I should have decided
I was broken too long.
CHORUS
VOC HALF/ ORGAN FULL
RIFF x2
You are a star
You were beautiful to me years ago
And you still are
But maybe I was broken too long
CHORUS
ORGAN MELODY SOLO FULL

All That Matters
04:08
|
|||
|
Too bad about the money, knew it might dry up.
Time to pack up, leave the band again
On the lookout for better work
gonna leave the music for a while
BEEN PICKIN IT UP, TO PUT IT BACK DOWN
GUITAR IN A CLOSET NEVER MAKING A SOUND
IS THAT ALL THAT MATTERS? SUCCESS?
She drove here from florida
And now she's working at this bar
Industry ignored her
but they're not looking very hard
CHORUS
Bills paid late, only first dates
can't be asked to participate
play for free or some pay to play scheme?
that's just not in my
plans!
Gonna leave the music for a while.
Gonna leave the music for a while.
IS THAT ALL THAT MATTERS?
CHORUS
Gonna leave the music for a while.

Dreams

And when I wake up from my dreams
I want to be with you
Tell you what I really mean
I want you to stay
why've you got to haunt me
when I know that you're flying away?
I hate to see you lonely
I wish that you could hold me today
you know that I will be in Nashville
you're probably landing in L.A.
or maybe they sent you to texas
who am I to say?
And when I wake up from my dreams
my dreams
my dreams
my dreams
solo
higher vocal- verse 1, Chorus
when you call me from your hotel
you've got so much to say
and when we find ourselves together
it's like we have't missed a day
And when I wake up from my dreams
I want to be with you
Tell you what I really mean
I want you to stay
