GOIN' BACK 
     ---------- 
     In a foreign land 
     There were creatures at play 
     Running hand in hand 
     Leading nowhere to stay 
     Driven to the mountains high 
     They were sunken in the cities deep 
     Livin' in my sleep. 
      
     I feel like goin' back 
     Back where there's nowhere to stay 
     When fire fills the sky 
     I'll still remember that day 
     These rocks I'm climbin' down 
     Have already left the ground 
     Careening through space. 
      
     I used to build these buildings 
     I used to walk next to you 
     Their shadows tore us apart 
     And now we do what we do 
     Driven to the mountains high 
     Sunken in the cities deep 
     Livin' in our sleep. 
      
     I feel like goin' back 
     Back where there's nowhere to stay. 
      
      
     COMES A TIME 
     ------------ 
     Comes a time when you're driftin' 
     Comes a time when you settle down 
     Comes a light feelin's liftin' 
     Lift that baby right up off the ground. 
      
     Oh, this old world keeps spinning round 
     It's a wonder tall trees ain't layin' down 
     There comes a time. 
      
     You and I we were captured 
     We took our souls and we flew away 
     We were right we were giving 
     That's how we kept what we gave away. 
      
     Oh, this old world keeps spinning round 
     It's a wonder tall trees ain't layin' down 
     There comes a time. 
      
      
     LOOK OUT FOR MY LOVE 
     -------------------- 
     There's a lot to learn 
     For wastin' time 
     There's a heart that burns 
     There's an open mind. 
      
     Look out for my love, look out for my love 
     Look out for my love, look out for my love 
     You own it 
     You own it now 
     You own it. 
      
     There's a weight on you 
     But you can't feel it 
     Livin' like I do 
     It's hard for you to see it. 
      
     Was I hurt too bad 
     Can I show you daylight 
     How could I be sad 
     When I know that you might. 
      
     Look out for my love, look out for my love 
     Look out for my love, look out for my love. 
      
     Look out for my love 
     It's in your neighborhood 
     I know things are gonna change 
     But I can't say bad or good. 
      
     Silver wings of mornin' 
     Shinin' in the gray day 
     While the ice is formin' 
     On a lonely runway. 
      
     Hydraulic wipers pumpin' 
     'Til the window glistens 
     Somethin' sayin' somethin' 
     No one seems to listen. 
      
     Men with walkie-talkies 
     Men with flashlights wavin' 
     Up upon the tower 
     Time reads daylight savings. 
      
     I'm home again to you babe 
     You know it makes me wonder 
     Sittin' in the quiet slipstream 
     In the thunder. 
      
     Look out for my love, look out for my love 
     Look out for my love, look out for my love. 
      
      
     LOTTA LOVE 
     ---------- 
     It's gonna take a lotta love 
     To change the way things are. 
     It's gonna take a lotta love 
     Or we won't get too far. 
      
     So if you look in my direction 
     And we don't see eye to eye, 
     My heart needs protection 
     And so do I. 
      
     It's gonna take a lotta love 
     To get us thru the night. 
     It's gonna take a lotta love 
     To make things work out right. 
      
     So if you are out there waitin' 
     I hope you show up soon, 
     'Cause my heart needs relatin' 
     Not solitude. 
      
     Gotta lotta love 
     Gotta lotta love. 
      
     It's gonna take a lotta love 
     To change the way things are. 
     It's gonna take a lotta love 
     Or we won't get too far. 
      
     It's gonna take a lotta love 
     To change the way things are. 
     It's gonna take a lotta love 
     Or we won't get too far 
      
      
     PEACE OF MIND 
     ------------- 
     You know it takes a long, long time 
     You know it takes a long, long time 
     You love her so and still you know 
     That you will never want to let her go 
     Unless you leave her first 
     Then you come out on top 
     But, still there's just one thing 
     You haven't got. 
      
     Peace of mind 
     Like when you treated her kind 
     It's hard to face that open space. 
      
     You know it takes a long, long time 
     You know it takes a long, long time 
     When first you gave and shared your soul 
     Showed her all those things that take their toll 
     She knows your weak spot 
     But, she still gets you hot 
     So you do it again 
     Reveal what lies within. 
      
     And go for peace of mind 
     Like when you treated her kind 
     It's hard to face that open space. 
      
     You're lookin' for peace of mind 
     Anywhere you can find 
     Still searchin' for peace of mind. 
      
     You know it takes a long, long time 
     You know it takes a long, long time. 
      
      
     HUMAN HIGHWAY 
     ------------- 
     I come down from the misty mountain 
     I got lost on the human highway 
     Take my head refreshing fountain 
     Take my eyes from what they've seen. 
     Take my head and change my mind 
     How could people get so unkind. 
      
     I come down from the crooked mansion 
     I went lookin' for the D.J.'s daughter 
     Since that day I heard it mentioned 
     That my name is on the line. 
     Now, my name is on the line 
     How could people get so unkind. 
      
     Now, my name is on the line 
     How could people get so unkind. 
      
     I come down from the misty mountain 
     I got lost on the human highway 
     Take my head refreshing fountain 
     Take my eyes from what they've seen. 
     Take my head and change my mind 
     How could people get so unkind. 
      
      
     ALREADY ONE 
     ----------- 
     What can I do, what can I say 
     Running down this suspicious highway 
     I can't forget how love let me down 
     And when we meet it still gets in my way. 
      
     But we're already one 
     Already one 
     Now only time can come between us 
     'Cause we're already one 
     Our little son won't let us forget. 
      
     Your laughing eyes, your crazy smile 
     Every time I look in his face 
     I can't believe how love lasts a while 
     And looks like "forever" in the first place. 
      
     But we're already one 
     Already one 
     Now only time can come between us 
     'Cause we're already one 
     Our little son won't let us forget. 
      
     In my new life I'm travelin' light 
     Eyes wide open for the next move 
     I can't go wrong 'til I get right 
     But I'm not fallin' back in the same groove. 
      
     But we're already one 
     Already one 
     Now only time can come between us 
     'Cause we're already one 
     Our little son won't let us forget. 
      
      
     FIELD OF OPPORTUNITY 
     -------------------- 
     I've been wrong before 
     And I'll be there again 
     I don't have any answers my friend 
     Just this pile of old questions 
     My memory left me here 
     In the field of opportunity 
     It's plowin' time again. 
      
     I'm going' back to my house 
     But I'm not goin' now 
     It's too early to be leaving here, somehow 
     Let me bore you with this story 
     "How my lover let me down" 
     While I borrow seeds of sadness 
     From the ground. 
      
     In the field of opportunity 
     It's plowin' time again. 
     There ain't no way of telling 
     Where these seeds will rise or when 
     I'll just wait around 'til springtime 
     And then, I'll find a friend 
     In the field of opportunity 
     It's plowin' time again. 
      
     When I'm all done cultivatin' 
     I'll be rockin' on the porch 
     Tryin' to picture you and where you are 
     And there'll be no hesitatin' 
     When Cupid lights the torch 
     With those headlights comin' down the hill 
     Between the stars. 
      
     In the field of opportunity 
     It's plowin' time again. 
     There ain't no way of telling 
     Where these seeds will rise or when 
     I'll just wait around 'til springtime 
     And then, I'll find a friend 
     In the field of opportunity 
     It's plowin' time again. 
      
      
     MOTORCYCLE MAMA 
     --------------- 
     Motorcycle Mama 
     Won't you lay your big spike down 
     Motorcycle Mama 
     Won't you lay your big spike down 
     I always get in trouble when you bring it round 
     Motorcycle Mama 
     Won't you lay it down. 
      
     I'm runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin' 
     Down the proud highway 
     Yeah, I'm runnin', I'm runnin', I'm runnin' 
     Down the proud highway 
     And as long as I keep movin' 
     I won't need a place to stay. 
      
     Motorcycle Mama 
     Won't you lay your big spike down 
     Motorcycle Mama 
     Won't you lay your big spike down 
     I always get in trouble when you bring that round 
     Motorcycle Mama 
     Won't you lay it down. 
      
     Well I'm here to deliver 
     I hope you can read my mail 
     I just escaped last night 
     From the memory county jail 
     I see your box is open 
     And you flag is up 
     My message is ready 
     If there's time enough. 
      
     Motorcycle Mama 
     Won't you lay your big spike down 
     Motorcycle Mama 
     Won't you lay your big spike down 
     I always get in trouble when you bring it round 
     Motorcycle Mama 
     Won't you lay it down.
