Yeah!

I like the way you smile
And carry on
I'd like to take it inside
Alright now
But a fool I'd never be
There's no time
Yeah, for you and me.

One day with you
When you call me old
Gonna pull out, baby
And leave you on your own
Cause a fool I'd never be
There is no time
For you and me
Oh, Alright

(Yeah) I need some poor other baby
Got to see about me
I want a babe in the movies
Under me
Got to stretch out cookin'
I can set you free
Cause a fool I'd never be
Cause a fool I'd never be
Yeh-yeh, yeah.

Well you're gonna need someone
Baby when you're blue
Well you're gonna need someone
Just to sleep your nights through
So baby please, Make it up to me
And I'll love you.

Baby, in the past
And the blues had come to get ya
But we don't have to laugh
Cause if you make it up to me

You hurt me before

I packed everything I own
And I put it in a knapsack
I'm leaving Birmingham, yes I am
And I ain't lookin' back
I bought me a guitar and I wrote a song
I played it for the D.J. on the telephone.


Going out to Hollywood, feeling good, yes I am
Hello L.A., bye bye Birmingham
Alright!


Riding on a Greyhound bus
'Cross the Tennessee borderline
Eating from a Po' Boy sandwich
Taking drinks from a quart of wine
I got to get off at the very last stop
My ticket's only good to Little Rock.


Going out to Hollywood, feeling good, yes I am
Hello L.A., bye bye Birmingham.


I got mixed up with a big city woman in Little Rock
I had to spend a week one time in the county jail
I had to take a two-day job to get my guitar out of hock
That's the way it goes when you got no dough to make bail.


I ran out of transportation funds, I had to hitchhike
I caught me a ride with a tattooed dude on a motorbike
People gonna know when I'm in town
Heads are gonna turn when they hear my sound.


Going out to Hollywood, feeling good, yes I am
Hello L.A., bye bye Birmingham
Ow, Uh!


You know that I'm tired of going down
I believe I'm gonna leave this town
I'm leaving Birmingham, Yes I am
Yes I am, Yes I am!


Hello L.A., bye bye Birmingham
Hello L.A., bye bye Birmingham
Hello L.A., bye bye Birmingham
Hello L.A., bye bye Birmingham
Bye bye Birmingham
Bye bye Birmingham
Bye bye Birmingham
Bye bye Birmingham
Bye bye Birmingham!

All those weekend images tuggin' in the fog
Midnight flood your eyes off just to buy me a jug
Weekend soon behind me telling me to explore
Come on Saturday freedom open up your door.
(One day a week just isn't enough.)


Evening's at the bus stop
With the traffic lights so red
While the day's ships hunger
Faces filled with dread
At tomorrow's sunrise
Each must resume his task
Do they break my soul Medusa
I just gotta ask.
(One day a week just isn't enough.)


Saturday Freedom always soon fades
Do me a favor, Please stay away
Saturday freedom, six days to behold
Don't leave so quickly, You never grow old.


Wooo-wooo Ahh, Wooo-wooo Ahh
Wooo-wooo Ahh, Wooo-wooo Ahh
Wooo-wooo Ahh, Wooo-wooo Ahh
Wooo-wooo Ahh, Wooo-wooo Ahh!


I think that it's mistaken to say freedom's unsold
And if you feel the same way too, Truth is never told
I can't wait, We just gotta have it
Hey, but it's free
Come on Saturday freedom
Give my girl to me.
(One day a week just isn't enough.)


Saturday Freedom always soon fades
Do me a favor, Please stay away
Joys of the kill are ours to hold
Saturday freedom, mine to behold
Saturday freedom, six days to behold
Don't leave so quickly, Never grow old
Saturday freedom seven days a week
Saturday freedom seven days a week
I want it, Saturday freedom seven days a week
Saturday freedom seven days a week
Saturday freedom seven days a week
Gimme Saturday freedom seven days a week
Saturday freedom seven days a week
Saturday freedom seven days a week.

Pack in all the people that they meet
Hello Miss Smith, You show me around
Gay Paris was quite a town.


Yes, I heard all about your scene
I know all about you rock and roll queens
Yes, I do
Whoa!

Turn yourself around
Stop looking at the ground
Things will be much better if you try
When I feel your love next to mine
I forget about space and time.


Sing yourself a happy song
Things aren't always, always wrong
We can make it better if we try
When things are good and things are bad
Our love is all we really have.


When the cloud is past away
And the sun comes out to stay
I'll remember days like this with you
When we made things better cause we tried
Then our love is stronger deep inside.

With money in your hand
But one thing I'd like

To know that you can't buy it
Can't touch it with no pot of gold.

You'll never buy the salt of the earth, no, no.

Well you can buy most anything
(You can't buy, you can't buy, you can't buy, oh, oh, oh)

But you can't buy the love of this natural man.

Lovin' you's easy, this time I want more
Cause I can count on arms when I'm sad
When you touch me, I feel higher than before
You never fail to make me feel glad.


I always wonder how free I feel to wander
When your life is with mine, like running with the wind
Your lovin' frees mine all the time.


Lovin' you's easy, I live in guilty
Smile on tomorrow, today will agree
Something's closer when you're far away
Just won't leave me, your warmth seems to stay.


I always wonder how free I feel to wander
When your life is with mine, like running with the wind
Your lovin' frees mine all the time.


She always gives me good things
All the good things that she knows
She always sings bad songs, the sad songs that she knows.


Lovin' you's easy, no lie
You got your feet on the ground and my head's in the sky
Lovin' you's easy, no lie
You got your feet on the ground and my head's in the sky
Lovin' you's easy, no lie!
