| Side One Out On The Road A Better Place They Don't Realise I'm Down The Last Wind Mr Heartbreaker I Was Born A Man Side Two |

I wasn't there (I wasn't there)
When I was needed (I wasn't there)
I was out on the road
Playing with my rock and roll band (I wasn't there)
I should have been right by her side
Like a good man ought to be
But this rock'n'roll music sure gotta hold on me
I wasn't there (I wasn't there)
When my shack was burning (I wasn't there)
I was out on the road playing with my rock'n'roll band (I wasn't there)
While someone else put out the fire
I was wailing my guitar
Somehow this rock'n'roll music sure got a hold on me
Somewhere I know, I sold my soul
Sold it to the devil or the king of rock'n'roll
Once I found out, what the music was all about
Picked up my baggage
And I joined in a big rock show
I knew that I had to go
I wasn't there (I wasn't there)
There for my wedding (I wasn't there)
I was back on the road
Playing with my rock and roll band (I wasn't there)
But when I came off stage that night
I found her waiting patiently, good girl
She knows that rock'n'roll music sure got a hold
Rock'n'roll music sure got a hold
She knows that rock'n'roll music sure got a hold on me
This was the last wind
The night is coming
The anchor is down
Until next morning
It's warm
And I see the mate in the dark yawning
I'm leaning over the rail
The water is dark and deep
I'm told to mend the sail
As so many times before
It's warm
And I feel the ship is rolling me to sleep
We saw a bird a few days ago
The sign for a lonely sailors dream to come true
But still there's a long, long way to go
Maybe one more week or two ... I don't know
The wind is our friend
It takes us everywhere
Without a friend
No certain end
It's warm
And I'm dreaming of someone to hold
And I'm dreaming of someone to hold
Evening, I see the sun
Leaving today
Cool night, mellow light
Don't fade away
Your eyes, paradise
What do they say
Leaving, loving
Stay one more day
And after all the tears have fallen my way
You'd think that we could never feel the same
Love is strange
Pick up the pieces again
Long time, friend of mine
Words of farewell
Love is, the learning
I knew you well
And after all the tears have fallen my way
You'd think that we could never feel the same
Love is strange
Pick up the pieces again
Pick up the pieces
Spread your wings, I'm all set
Trans Atlantic westbound jet
Heading out to JFK
I'll play my guitar along the way
It's the only thing I can do
Stick with me and we'll see it through
Make the most, without delay
I'm gone tomorrow but here today
Travel through the nation
In need of stimulation, Oh yeah
Travel through the nation
In search of situations, yeah
Boogaloo well walk on through
My prescription's good for you
Be my guest and fly with me
It's a way of life, a high for free
Travel through the nation
In need of stimulation, Oh yeah
Travel through the nation
In search of situations, yeah
