Alive In The World Lyrics
I want to live in the world, not inside my head
I want to live in the world, I want to stand and be counted
With the hopeful and the willing
With the open and the strong
With the voices in the darkness
Fashioning daylight out of song
And the millions of lovers
Alive in the world
Black And White Lyrics
Long before you ever saw your chances
You were gonna burn this city down
Tired of the fashions and the dances
Tired of the people standing around
Ticking like a bomb in the night
And you knew you were right
Black and white
Blame it on the time it took to leave here
Blame it on th
Boulevard Lyrics
Down on the boulevard they take it hard
They look at life with such disregard.
They say it can't be won
The way the game is run
But if you choose to stay
You wind up playing anyway
It's OK
You know the kid's in shock
up and down the block
The folks are home
playing beat the cl
Call It A Loan Lyrics
In the morning when I closed my eyes
You were sleeping in paradise
And while the room was growing light
I was holding still with all my might
Oh-- what if it's true
What my heart says
Oh-- what'll I do
What if this feeling becomes hard to part with
You were meant to play your par
Candy Lyrics
Daughter of a woman who comes and goes,
Candy
Daugher of a man she barely knows,
Candy
All grown up about the things, people know to do,
How to take a love, and tear it in two
No no no, that isn't how it's gonna be
for Candy
She wants to be in love but she doesn't know why,
Cocaine Lyrics
You take Sally and I'll take Sue
Their ain't no difference between the two
Cocaine, running all 'round my brain
Headin' down Scott, turnin' up Main
Looking for that girl that sells cocaine
Cocaine, runnin' all 'round my brain
Late last night about a quarter past four

Culver Moon Lyrics
I live in a small town . . . deep in LA
About five miles north of where the Lakers play
Everybody here's from someplace else
Working all together just like Santa's elves
Baby, Culver me
And I'll Culver you
When the streets are shining with the smoggy dew
When the lights are glowi
Disco Apocalypse Lyrics
Down the side streets and the avenues
There be sisters walkin' two by two
Their dresses and their shoes are new
But their hearts are weary thru and thru
And it's a long way into the light of day
While the juke box and the radio play
Where the days turn into the nights
People move
Doctor My Eyes Lyrics
Doctor, my eyes have seen the years,
Through the slow parade of tears wtihout crying,
Now I want to understand,
I have dane all that I could
To see evil and the good without hiding,
You must help me if you can
Doctor My Ey
Farther On Lyrics
In my early years I hid my tears
And passed my days alone
Adrift on an ocean of loneliness
My dreams like nets were thrown
To catch the love that I'd heard of
In books and films and songs
Now there's a world of illusion and fantasy
In the place where the real world belongs
Now I
For America Lyrics
As if I really didn't understand
That I was just another part of thir plan
I went off looking for the promise
Believing in the Motherland
And from the comfort of a dreamer's bed
And the safety of my own head
I went out speaking of the future
While other people fought and bled
The
Hold Out Lyrics
Baby I guess you know my story
Baby I guess you know my side
It seems I've traded love for glory
But I'm still not satisfied
Given all the years
All the cries and cheers
Don't amount to much more than pride
Take my love for you
Take tomorrow too
There's not much left inside
How w
I Thought I Was A Child Lyrics
It's such a clever innocence with which you do your sorcery
As if somehow the years just bow and let that young girl go free
I thought I was a child until you turned and smiled
I thought I knew where I was going until I heard your laughter flowing
And came upon the wisdom in your
In The Shape Of A Heart Lyrics
It was a ruby that she wore
On a chain around her neck
In the shape of a heart
In the shape of a heart
It was a time I won't forget
For the sorrow and regret
In the shape of a heart
In the shape of a heart
I guess I never knew
What she was talking about
I guess I never knew
What
Information Wars Lyrics
Give us twenty minutes and we'll give you the world
We bring good things to life
The news you need from people you can count on
Doing what we do best
The heartbeat of America
Your true voice
You're in good hands
Now more than ever before
And in the flickering light and the comfor
It Is One Lyrics
They shot a man into the sky
The moon and stars became his bed
He saw the sun rise seven times
And when he came back down he said
It is one, it is one
One world spinning 'round the sun
Wherever it is you call home
Whatever country you come from
It is one, it is one, it is one, it
Late For The Sky Lyrics
The words had all been spoken
And somehow the feeling still wasn't right
And still we continued on through the night
Tracing our steps from the beginning
Until they vanished into the air
Trying to understand how our lives had led us there
Looking hard into your eyes
The was nobod
Lawless Avenues Lyrics
Papa hit him, Mama kissed him
Made him go to Catechism
With the sisters in their black and white
And all the time those city streets
Were teaching him another kind of wisdom
When to run and when to fight
Up at the playground after school
Listening to tales of the prison system
An
Lawyers In Love Lyrics
I think my heart must just be slowing down
Among the human beings
In their designer jeans
Am I the only one who hears the screams
And the strangled crys of Lawyers In Love
God sends his spaceships to America, The Beautiful
They land at 6:00 and there we are, The Dutiful
Eating fr
Lives In The Balance Lyrics
I've been waiting for something to happen
For a week or a month or a year
With the blood in the ink of the headlines
And the sound of the crowd in my ear
You might ask what it takes to remember
When you know that you've seen it before
Where a government lies to a people
And a cou
Looking East Lyrics
Standing in the ocean with the sun burning low in the west
Like a fire in the cavernous darkness at the heart of the beast
With my beliefs and possessions, stopped at the frontier in my chest
At the edge of my country, my back to the sea, looking east
Where the search for the tru
Looking Into You Lyrics
Well I looked into a house I once lived in
Around the time I first went on my own
When the roads were as many as the places I had dreamed of
And my friends and I were one
Now the distance is done and the search has begun
I've come to see where my beginnings have gone
Oh the walls
Love Needs A Heart Lyrics
Maybe the hardest thing I've ever done
Was to walk away from you
Leaving behind the life that we'd begun
I split myself in two
Proud and alone, cold as a stone
Rolling down that hill into the night
I could see the surprise and the hurt in your eyes
From behind each flashing city
Nothing But Time Lyrics
(by Jackson Browne & Howard Burke)
Rolling down 295 out of Portland, Maine
Still high from the people up there and feeling no pain
Gonna make it to New Jersey, gonna set it up and do it again
I got a bottle of wine (pass it over)
I got a broken white line (I'm still sober)
There
Of Missing Persons Lyrics
Your father was a rounder
He played that rock and roll
A leaper and a bounder
Down to his gypsy soul
The music was his angel
And sorrow was his star
And those of us who follow
Might hope to reach as far
They're walking slow in Houston
Speechless in D.C.
There was no way I could t
Our Lady Of The Well Lyrics
It is a dance we do in silence
Far below this morning sun
You in your life, me in mine
We have begun
Here we stand and without speaking
Draw the water from the well
And stare beyond the plains
To where the mountains lie so still
But it's a long way that I have come
Across the san
Red Neck Friend Lyrics
Pretty little one
How has it all begun?
They're teaching you how to walk
But you're already on the run
Little one--
What you gonna do?
Little one--
Honey, it's all up to you
Now your daddy's in the den shootin' up the evening news
Mama's with a friend, lately she's been so confus
Rosie Lyrics
****Rosie**** (Jackson Browne)
She was standing at the load-in when the trucks rolled up
She was sniffing all around like a half-grown female pup
She wasn't hard to talk to, looked like she had nowhere to go
So I gave her a pass so she could get in to see the show.
I sat her dow
Running On Empty Lyrics
Here are some lyrics:
Running on Empty
from Jackson Browne's Running on Empty album
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields
In sixty-five I was seventeen and running up one-on-one
I don't know where I'm running
Shaky Town Lyrics
(by Daniel Kortchmar)
I've witnessed those one night stands
Must have played in a thousand bands
But I'm just here tonight, tomorrow I'll be gone
Seen folks show their blacker sides
Seen them die just for foolish pride
And those drivers always ask to hear that same old song
That'
Sing My Songs To Me Lyrics
Sing my songs to me
Sing them to me softly
Sing me sunlight and shadows
Orange groves and meadows
Let your voice ring back my memories
Sing my songs to me
Bring my dreams to me
Bring them from the darkness
Let the minutes and hours
Show my mind strange new flowers
But I'd like to
Soldier Of Plenty Lyrics
God is great, God is good
He guards your neighborhood
Though it's generally understood
Not quite the way you would
You try to take the slack
Stay awake and watch his back
But something happens every now and then
And someone breaks into the promised land
Ah, boy
This world is not
Some Bridges Lyrics
Every day I walk out in this torn up world
And I fight to survive
I'm laughing when I make it to the Saturday
And I'm alive
Carrying your smile with me
Carrying your smile with me
Everywhere I look I see this world slippin' down
That low road, day by day
And I just go on working
That Girl Could Sing Lyrics
She was a friend to me when I needed one
Wasn't for her I don't know what I'd have done
She gave me back something that was missing in me
She could have turned out to be almost anyone
Almost anyone--
With the possible exception
Of who I wanted her to be
Running into the midnight
The Barricades Of Heaven Lyrics
Running down around the towns along the shore
When I was sixteen and on my own
No, I couldn't tell you what the hell those brakes were for
I was just trying to hear my song
Jimmy found his own sweet sound and won that free guitar
We'd all get in the van and play
Life became the P
The Late Show Lyrics
Everyone I've ever known has wished me well
Anyway that's how it seems, it's hard to tell
Maybe people only ask you how you're doin'
'Cause that's easier than letting on how little they can care
But when you know that you've got a real friend somewhere
Suddenly all the others are
The Load-out Stay Lyrics
Now the seats are all empty
Let the roadies take the stage
Pack it up and tear it down
They're the first to come and last to leave
Working for that minimum wage
They'll set it up in another town
Tonight the people were so fine
They waited there in line
And when they got up on the
The Road And The Sky Lyrics
When we come to place where the road and the sky collide
Throw me over the edge and let my spirit glide
They told me I was gonna have to work for a living
But all I want to do is ride
I don't care where we're going from here
Honey, you decide
Well I spend my time at the bottom of
Till I Go Down Lyrics
Till I go down
Till I go down
Till I go down
I'm not gonna shut my eyes
Till I go down
I'm not gonna shut my eyes
I've already seen the lies
On the faces of the men of war
Leading people to the killing floor
Till I go down
Till I go down
Till I go down
I'm not gonna shut my eyes
Walking Slow Lyrics
Walking slow down the avenue through my old neighborhood
Don't know why I'm happy, I got no reason to feel this good
Maybe it's because I'm all alone and I got no place to go
And everywhere I look I see another person I'll never know
I got a thing or two to say
Before I walk on b
You Love The Thunder Lyrics
You Love the Thunder
Jackson Browne
When you look over your shoulder
And you see the light that you have left behind
When you think it over, do you ever wonder
What it is that holds your life so close to mine
You love the thunder and you love the rain
What you see revealed within
