     PAYOLA BLUES 
     ------------ 
     This one's for you Al Freed, 
     Wherever you go, whatever you do 
     'Cause the things they're doing today 
     Will make a saint out of you 
     Payola blues. 
     I've got the payola blues 
     Even though I already paid my dues. 
      
     Listen to me Mr. D.J., hear what I've got to say 
     If a man is making music, they ought to let his record play. 
     Payola blues 
     No matter where I go 
     I never hear my record on the radio. 
      
     Well, here's three thousand, that ought to get it on. 
     Well, thanks a lot man! I love your new song. 
     Payola blues 
     No matter where I go 
     I never hear my record on the radio. 
      
     And it goes like this. 
      
     I got a brand new record company, new manager too. 
     Got a great new record, I can't get through to you. 
     Payola blues 
     No matter where I go 
     I never hear my record on the radio. 
      
     How about this new Mercedes Benz, that ought to get it on. 
     Well, thanks a lot man! I'll play it all day long. 
     Payola blues 
     No matter where I go 
     I never hear my record on the radio. 
      
     I've got the payola blues, payola blues 
     I'm paying those payola blues 
     No matter where I go 
     I never hear my record on the radio. 
      
      
     WONDERIN' 
     --------- 
     I've been walking all night long 
     My footsteps made me crazy 
     Baby, you've been gone so long 
     I'm wonderin' if you'll come home 
     I'm hopin' that you'll be my baby 
     I'm wonderin' if I'll be alone 
     Knowin' that I need you to save me. 
      
     I've been talking all day long 
     To keep my heart from sadness 
     Baby, you've been gone so long 
     I'm wonderin' if you'll come home 
     I'm hopin' that you'll be my baby 
     I'm wonderin' if I'll be alone 
     Knowin' that I need you to save me. 
      
     I'm wonderin', I'm wonderin',  
     I'm wonderin', I'm wonderin',  
     I'm wonderin', I'm wonderin',  
     I'm wonderin', I'm wonderin'. 
      
     Well, I'm knowin' that I need you to save me 
     Knowin' that I need you to save me. 
     Knowin' that I need you to save me. 
     Knowin' that I need you to save me. 
     I'm wonderin', I'm wonderin'.

     JOHNNY 
     ------ 
     Someone wants to blow up the planet 
     Johnny wants to find out why 
     Johnny did a show in St. Louis 
     Love came through the sky. 
      
     Oh yeah, they were camped out, 
     Waiting for the sun to rise 
     Oh yeah, Johnny sang out 
     Love into the sky. 
      
     Johnny found a place out in Texas 
     Waiting for him to come 
     Made himself a reservation 
     And hope came, in the gun. 
      
     Oh yeah, he was flying, 
     Waiting for the sun to rise 
     Oh yeah, color by numbers 
     Waiting for the sun to rise. 
      
     Johnny did some time in the army 
     Johnny did a stint in Vietnam. 
     Now he can't forget it, 
     His mind is confused, slipping from his twisted hand. 
      
     Oh yeah, he's still back there 
     With one hand on the gun 
     Oh yeah, he's still back there 
     Waiting for the rising sun. 
      
     Now Johnny likes to go down the highway 
     The wind singing in his ears 
     Right up as most things go whirring by 
     By day everything looks clear. 
      
     Oh yeah, Johnny ride on 
     Gonna find a special home 
     Oh yeah, down the highway 
     Looking for the rising sun. 
      
      
     WE'RE GONNA ROCK FOREVER 
     ------------------------ 
     Down the highway, all across the nation 
     Trucks are moving rough, we pass the break of day 
     Sure looks like we're all gonna rock forever. 
     Rock, rock, rock. 
      
     After midnight you see the big trucks rolling 
     Pushing metal on down the super slab 
     Sure hard to tell from here where we are going 
     Rock, rock, rock. 
      
     Do it inside, do it outside, baby 
     Do it over again in the same old way 
     From now on we're all gonna rock together. 
     Rock, rock, rock. 
      
     Sure looks like we're all gonna rock forever. 
     The way we just keep rolling on and on 
     Yeah, sure looks like we're all gonna rock forever. 
     Rock, rock, rock. 
      
      
     YOUR LOVE 
     --------- 
     Your love is good to me 
     I should be standing tall 
     And walking proud 
     Your eyes keep looking out 
     And your heart keeps beatin' on 
     Oh yeah, without your love I would surely die. 
      
     Some night when I'm alone 
     I get to wonder what's been shown 
     And your love is like a light 
     Showing me the way through the night 
     Oh yeah, without your love I would surely die. 
      
     Your love is good to me 
     Good to you I try to be 
     Don't leave me, babe 
     Yeah, if I get the blues 
     My love you'll never loose 
     Don't ever take away your love. 
     Your love, your love. 
     Your love, your love. 
      
      
     SO TIRED 
     -------- 
     Time for me to show my hand 
     Let them know just who I am 
     'Cause I've been down and back again. 
      
     I'm so tired of talking to strangers, 
     Close my eyes and I see the danger 
     I feel like making some changes. 
      
     So tired of talking to strangers, 
     Close my eyes and I see the danger 
     I feel like making some changes.
