Who's the Blonde Stranger?
WHO'S THE BLONDE STRANGER?
Nothing like this way out in west Texas
Galveston Bay is a whole other world
My wife's in her room getting over her sunburn
How would Louis Lamore get me next to that girl? She tells me her tan is the same way all over
She asks me to dance and says, "Keep your boots on"
She never met a number one cowboy
We rolled in the sand and drank rum until dawn Who's the blonde stranger"
Who entered my life"
Making me over on the moonlight
This side of Texas is all new to me
Who's the blonde stranger who lives by the sea? I stayed up all night and for me that's the first time
Sneak in the room just as cool as I can
Pull back the sheets and the bed is all empty
Except for a note left by some guy named Dan My head got all light and the room started spinning
I stepped outside just to get some fresh air
Out on a wave was my own darling Lola
And some pretty boy with bleach in his hair Who's the blonde stranger out there with my wife?
What were they doing in the moonlight?
This side of Texas is all new to me
Who are these strangers who live by the sea? Back on the ranch and everything's normal
Beach blanket bingo comes on the TV
We talk in our sleep and then the next morning
I ask her who's Dan and she asks who's Marie? -
When the Wild Life Betrays Me
WHEN THE WILD LIFE BETRAYS ME Can't believe I'm still here
With the morning so near
And last night so unclear I see a trembling hand
And a cold wedding band
Wonder where do I stand? When the wild life betrays me
And I'm too far from home
Will you be there to save me?
Will you shelter my heart til I'm strong?
Or will you just hang up the phone? Will my crazy old lies
And my worn out disguise
Turn to tears in your eyes What a fool I have been
There's no way I can win
Unless you take me back in When the wild life betrays me
And I'm too far from home
Will you be there to save me?
Will you shelter my heart til I'm strong?
Or will you just hang up the phone? -
Ragtop Day
RAGTOP DAY The five o'clock Friday blows
I let it go
I got to let it go
I put on my weekend clothes
Turn on the rock n' roll Throw all our cares away
It's a ragtop day
It's a ragtop day Classy little white and red turns everybody's head
My baby meets me at the Five and Dime
She's always right on time We roll all our cares away
It's a ragtop day
It's a ragtop day Cruise across the county line
A little dance and dine
A drive in picture show
And when the midnight's comin' down
We're headin' back to town
She lets her lovin' show Feels like we're the only ones to see the morning sun
Sleepin' thru the afternoon and risin' with the moon
Oh don't the stars look bright
It's a ragtop day
It's a ragtop day
We'll throw all our cares away
I live for that ragtop day -
She's Going Out of My Mind
SHE'S GOING OUT OF MY MINDI talk to her picture
And stare at the wall
And my friends come and offer their help
To my back they're afraid I'm losing it all
To my face they say I'm not myself
And they name all the doctors they think I should see
But they don't understand it's not me Chorus
She's going out of my mind
And I'm showing all the signs
I thought that our love was one of a kind
Now she's going out of my mind The place that I've kept her
Has suited her well
Though it's not where she wanted to be
And from up on that pedestal I couldn't tell
That she'd rather be down here with me
Now she just tells me how we can't relate
But she leaves out the part that I can't take Chorus There's a tear in her eye as they drive me away
And I turn to the doctors and say... -
Bigger Than The Both of Us
BIGGER THAN THE BOTH OF US The moon's smiling over my shoulder
I know these same stars will shine when I'm older
So I'm keeping heaven on my mind
'Cause a good love is so hard to find Chorus
And it's bigger than the both of us
Deeper than the sea
Tossing on the water riding destiny
Bigger than the both of us
Farther than the eye can see
We're dancing, our souls are dancing
Infinity You know there's a million ways to fail
But I know this isn't just a fairy tale
It's a one in million paradise
And I know love is the light in your eyes Chorus Bigger than the both of us
Our souls are dancing
Bigger than the both of us
Our souls are dancing -
Knees of My Heart
KNEES OF MY HEART I've got a question for you
Please grant me an interview
Don't want to read it in a magazine
Don't want to see it on the silver screen
Don't let the craziness tear us apart I'm down on the knees of my heart
Down here on the knees of my heart This comes from deep in my soul
Your sweet love has taken control
I'll swim across the ocean if you tell me so
I'll take you to the jump up if you want to go
It never is too late to make a brand new start I'm down here on the knees of my heart
Down here on the knees of my heart Oh how I will sing if you give me everything
I live for the day when there's nothing in our way I will be waiting tonight
You'll find my boat by the light
I'm gonna show you what my love can do
Out on the ocean all alone with you
We'll find a desert island on an ancient chart Take me from the knees of my heart
Take me from the knees of my heart
Take me from the knees of my heart
Take me from the knees of my heart -
Come to the Moon
COME TO THE MOON There's a full earth tonight
And Mars is big and bright
And all our friends are flying in
It's such a lovely sight
Gravity never could hold me
That is what you always told me So come to the moon
I hope to see you soon
Half a million miles isn't far to go
You know I need you so
So come to the moon
The starship's leaving soon
Until then I'm just wishing on every star
You will be here real soon
Come to the Moon Those crazy martian days
We went our separate ways...
Time and space we'll find a place
to bring our lives in phase
We're lost amid the galaxies revolving
And we're all just a part of what's evolving
Evolving
So come to the moon -
Love in Decline
LOVE IN DECLINE Left one in the drizzling rain
Found one on the morning plane
Leaving out his well-known line
Bought her some gin - that did her in
Now they're making love behind the occupied sign Chorus
Just a living example of love in decline
Looking so hard and so little time
Going ninety to nothing and flying stone blind
Just a living example of love in decline Miami hotel disco bar
He asked if she's a movie star
Her eyes light and up - they're going far
No time for a room it happened to soon
Now they're making love in her rental car
Just a living example of love in decline -
Burn That Bridge
BURN THAT BRIDGE I'm not saying I'm scared of you
But your love is something new
When I hold you we're swaying in the wind
Of all the bridges I've ever crossed
High and lonesome and wild and lost
I feel this time I'll take it to the end
We don't care what the people may say
If there's a price it's the price we'll pay Chorus
And we'll burn that bridge when we come to it
Burn that bridge when we come to it
Burn that bridge when we come to it
Burn it down
Burn it down We've both done our share of runnin' around
Now we know enough to know the kind of love
we've found
It's the real thing and we've got to see it through
eI'm a singer and a sailor on a midnight sea
Oh captain come and take me on your fantasy
If we're crazy that ain't nothin' new
'Cause we don't care what the people may say
If there's a price it's the price we'll pay and Chorus Who knows how it started
Who knows it's ends
The point of no return is waiting
just around the bend -
La Vie Dansante
LA VIE DANSANTE They can can come take it all away
Break your heart in the light of day
Drown your love in a distant bay
So lonely
See the ship heading for the rocks See the time melting off the clocks
There's a light shattering all the locks
And saves me
It saves me Chorus
That's why I wander and follow La Vie Dansante
On the night wind that takes me just where I want
That's all I want La Vie Dansante
Why don't you wander and follow La Vie Dansante
On the night wind that takes you just where you want
That's all you'll want La Vie Dansante Miss the beat if you close your eyes
Every night wears a new disguise
And I live when a new surprise surrenders Feel it all with a willing heart
Every stop is a place to start
If you know how to play the part with feeling
I play with feeling
