Easy Rider, headin’ out west to chase the light of day
The Earth’s your mother, the Sun’s your dad and Man’s your brother yeah
Easy Rider, ride that road that leads you to your fate
Peace is your banner, a pothead saviour of the human race
Lookin’ for a place that suits you best
Gonna find a paradise out West
You’re the king of the highway baby, such a jewel in the rough
Listen to your motor burning, you’re about to hit the road
Easy Rider, comin’ round, looking for that freedom to which you’re bound
Easy Rider, off the hook, gonna make it like you knew you would
Easy Rider, cruisin’ on a technicolor highway
Day-glo traveler, groovin’ to the sounds that hit you through the waves
Smilin’ as the wind blows in your face
Out to make this world a better place
You’re the king of the highway babe, such a jewel in the rough
Listen to your motor burning, you’re about to hit the road
Easy Rider, comin’ round, looking for that freedom to which you’re bound
Easy Rider, off the hook, gonna make it like you knew you would
Easy Rider – Psychedelic cowboy on the move
Easy Rider – Gonna make it like you knew you would

Deadhead Suzie
04:09
|
|||
Born down in south Louisiana in a county close to New Orleans
All-American teen, graduation queen, straight out of the cover of a magazine
Guys tried to take you out on dates and you just told them they would have to wait
You’d rather spend your days staying up ‘til late and-a-listenin’ to your records play
And the people called you
Deadhead Suzie, a teenage freak in love with music
Deadhead Suzie, and all you wanna do is dance
Ever since you was a little baby California was on your head
You dreamt of incense smell, flowers in your hair and dancing barefoot to The Grateful Dead
Teachers said that hippies were no good and that your music was a lousy mess
But every night in bed you’d hear Jerry sing and fantasize about a better place
And you dreamt of being
Deadhead Suzie, a teenage freak in love with music
Deadhead Suzie, and all you wanna do is dance
Left home the week after your birthday, one way ticket on a Greyhound bus
Daddy sighed and Momma cried as they waved their little girl goodbye
Hound dropped you off in San Francisco and you headed to the Fillmore show
The band went on, broke into Casey Jones and ever since you have been on the bus
Now you’re happy being Deadhead Suzie, a teenage freak in love with music
Deadhead Suzie, and all you wanna do is dance
Everybody knows you’re
Deadhead Suzie, swingin’ to American Beauty
Deadhead Suzie, and all you wanna do is dance

A Town With No Name
08:29
|

There I stood, on the limits of a town that had no name
I was wasted, I was tired and I felt framed
With no chance of getting back to whence I came
It was cold, and the night was falling down
‘Twas much too dark, to go on my path until the morning came
So I stepped into that town which had no-
Dead end streets where violence reigns, Where life ain’t worth a damn and looks can kill,
Bloodshot eyes fixed on my nape,
And I kept my sight down babe, just kept on movin’ honey
The dogs don’t roam the streets on a town that had no name
The children have no dreams on a town that had no name
And I just walk on by, in fear that I might die
Because this city has no shame
There they stood, as I turned the corner I saw the flashing blade
I was stabbed twice in the back and left for dead
In the gutter as the steam rised from the drain
On a town that had no name,
The night is ruled by madness and decay
Once you’re there you won’t return
‘Cause once they get you babe, you will become one more of them
On a town that had no name,
The streets are paved with nightmares and dismay Once you’re there you won’t come back
So keep on movin’ baby, and join the dance now honey
The dogs don’t roam the streets on a town that had no name
The children have no dreams on a town that had no name
And I just walk on by, in fear that I might die
Because this city shows no shame

Let Me Follow You Down
05:16
|

Wading through a cloud of cigarette smoke
Stumbling on my way to reach the bar
Raised a shaky hand of tinkling ice cubs
When I saw you through the glass
Maybe it was the red bandana showing through your hair
Though I guess the booze played its part too All I know’s the dj played some Elton John
And I had to walk up to you, put my lips next to your ear and say
Hey, let me follow you down
You’re the cutest chick I’ve seen around
Hey, let me follow you down
You’re the cutest chick I’ve seen around
And so time went by and we got to know each other well
Paranoid woman and foolish man
Then one day I told you that I loved you
And I’ve lost the count how long it’s been since then
You know there’s times I feel like I could kill you
But then I’d probably be bored on my own
And even though your ass gets fatter daily
Every time I look at you now, the only thing that I can do is say
Hey, let me follow you down
You’re the cutest chick I ever found
Hey, let me follow you down
You’re the cutest chick I ever found
Sometimes when I kiss you, I travel back to the time we met
Find myself in that foggy, stinky crowded bar and every single time I invariably say
Hey, let me follow you down
You’re the cutest chick I've seen around
Hey, let me follow you down
You’re the sweetest chick I ever found

King Of The Mountain
05:56
|
|||
Something had me last night shakin’ with a big fright
Woke up from a bad dream, ‘twas the worst I’ve ever been in yeah
Thunder crushing everywhere, spiders in my underwear
Monsters following my steps, lions having me for breakfast yeah
But I turned ‘round in bed, and I saw your face
And the dream went away
Now I don’t care – ‘cause I’m the king of the mountain
If you’re with me – I’m the king of the mountain
Life can sometimes be a drag, nosy neighbours and traffic jams
Bandmates who don’t know their parts, or finding out that you’ve run out of pot
But I feel ok, I’m living day by day
And I know I’ll grow old But I don’t care – ‘cause I’m the king of the mountain
If you’re with me – I’m the king of the mountain
Yes I feel ok, I’m living day by day
And I know I’ll grow old But I don’t care – ‘cause I’m the king of the mountain
If you’re with me – I’m the king of the mountain

Drifter

I’m a road worn travellin’ man
Who’s wandered far and wide across the land Like a gypsy babe, my only home’s the highway
But I don’t care, I’m simply living my way
Paid the price of being free
With worn out bones and no place to rest my feet
Still my eyes have seen a thousand glowing wonders
The sun, the moon and stars escort me on my transit
Haunting nights and glory days
On the run to live my way
Like the rain in the meadows
I’m a king on his throne
With the whole world on my palm
Sparks shine in the darkness
Waves crash on the rocks
And I keep drifting, on and on
Haunting nights and glory days
On the run to live my way
Like the rain in the meadows
I’m a king on his throne
With the whole world on my palm
Birds fly over mountains
Grass grows in the dark
And I keep drifting, on and on

The Midnight Train
05:33

Riding alone in the midnight train, gonna get to my girl today
Travellin’ on ‘til the mist of dawn, when the sun will shed its light again
Movin’ through mountains, rivers and valleys, a cosmic tapestry at the touch of a hand
Watching the world unfold in front of my face as the locomotive burns the rails
Uh uh uh, I’m riding on the midnight train
Uh uh uh, oh yeah
Here it comes again - The midnight train
Speeding at noon on the shadow of the moon, seeing colours that I never dreamt,
Thinking out loud and painting shapes in the clouds as the train keeps chooing on its way
At the light of the stars the future turns into past – gonna see them up close some day
People dream on as the Earth sings its song and I hear it speed along, speed along, speed along
Uh uh uh, I’m riding on the midnight train
Uh uh uh, oh yes
On the midnight train - Here it comes again
Riding on the midnight train, like a lightning bolt across the air
Never mind your destination, in the end what matters most’s the trip
Oh yeah, here it comes again – The midnight train

Three days out in the desert, with the sun burning my skin
My horse had given up and I was sure to follow him
I climbed up to a ridge and saw a village from the crest
It could be an illusion, but it was my only chance
I hit the town half dead and headed for the first saloon
I kicked the door wide open and collapsed onto a stool
“A jar of ice cold beer,” I cried, and the waitress brought it soon
And as I looked up to her face, my heart went up in flames
‘Cause she’s got stars in her eyes
‘Cause she’s got stars in her eyes
She’s got stars in her own two eyes
She's got stars
Then two desperadoes broke into the bar with guns
They shot down the bartender and called for gold to fill their bags
The maiden screamed in fear and looked for shelter by my side
She begged me to protect her and I swore I’d risk my life
‘Cause she’s got stars in her eyes
‘Cause she’s got stars in her eyes
She’s got stars in her own two eyes
She's got stars
The smoke began to clear and I dropped the rifle from my hand
The bodies of the bandits were laying in a pool of blood
A hole burned in my chest but she stood harmless by my side She stroked my hair and kissed my lips, and I died a happy man
‘Cause she’s got stars in her eyes
‘Cause she’s got stars in her eyes
She’s got stars in her own two eyes
She's got stars in her
Shining stars in her
She's got stars in her eyes
