THE FLAME (Love without Doubt)     Music & Lyrics by: Hal Buckingham

1. What about the conditions we live in... Always ready to break down and cry.

Nothing like it was in the beginning... Why's it getting so hard to get high?

CHORUS: It could be the sun goin' down, I guess...Can't really see thru these clouds

                   I keep watching in the usual place...Hangin' with the usual crowd.

                    It could be I've changed...I've let the candle go out.

                    No there's this flame burning here in my chest

                    I'm gonna give you LOVE WITHOUT DOUBT.

2. Out of the ashes the Phoenix arises...

What makes it happen? There's no way of knowing.

Woman, don't you know life's just full of surprises....

& maybe this time that Phoenix ain't showing

GET BUSY       Music and Lyrics by: Peter Ragan

1. Said, I'm a Busy Man...Do what a busy man do

Said, I'm a Busy Man...Do what a busy man do

But if you'd like I'll make some time I'll get busy with you

2. Now, when I'm asleep, You know I'm busy layin' down.

When I'm awake...you know I'm busy hangin' around.

Don't you get in my way...I got things to do.

But if you'd like I'll make some time I'll get busy with you

Repeat First Verse

ONE GOOD REASON  Music: Tommy Lewis & Hal Buckingham-Lyrics: Brett Perkinson & Tommy Lewis

1. I keep wondering if this love was meant to be......You keep staring at the door.

Something's going on inside your heart......Maybe you don't need me anymore.

    Give me just ONE GOOD REASON & I'll move on down the line.

    Tell me that it's over.....& I won't waste your time.

    Give me a sign to let me know that you want somebody new.

    Give me just ONE GOOD REASON & I'll get over you.

2. Girl, you're trying hard to hide the way you feel....But it's written in your eyes.

I'd rather have the truth, than what I'm going thru...I can't take those pretty lies.

If it's over...I'll hit the road.

Give me a sign to let me know that you want somebody new.

Give me just ONE GOOD REASON & I'll get over you.

TAKE ME TO CLEVELAND     Music and Lyrics by: Peter Ragan

1. He sits by the side of the old Ruby Road.....His ankle is busted...his water is low.

He's come a long way...got much farther to go. And just where he's at now he don't even know.

   He says "Take me to Cleveland, Chicago, L.A. Just over those mountains. It ain't far away.
    If you got a truck, we could get there today...So take me to Boston, New York, or Salt Lake."

2. How far to Tucson? Just over those hills? I'd be there this morning if I wasn't so ill.

I said "Sorry, my friend, Tucson's sixty miles north....You won't get there walkin' of this I am sure."

3. He's got family in Cleveland; a wife and two sons. In Detroit's got uncles...in Dallas, cousins.

He's got friends and relations throughout El Norte....And, lookin' back south, he's got no place to stay.

Take me to Denver, Pittsburg PA..........Take me to Nashville, Atlanta, Boise.

THE PERMIT SONG        Music by: Hal Buckingham -Lyrics by: Nina Perez

1. No matter what you do... they're going to find you.

They're gonna sign you up and send you down and certify you.

They'll tell you where to go and when to be there.

And if you stop and ask them why, all you get is a blank stare.

    I don't think they understand what's been goin' on....

    And just what they're messin' with... And just what they're messin' with...

2. No matter what you say they'll try and find you.

There's always somebody's code and somebody's road to compromise you.

But there will come a day and it may be soon...

When all of them guys with all of their lies are gonna be barking at the full moon.

3. No matter where you go, there you are now. Gettin' thru another day...you do it somehow.

Just keep the wolf at bay...keep him movin'. And all them things that're getting in your way

You go right through them.

NO WAY TO TELL YA      Music by: Hal Buckingham-Lyrics by Hal Buckingham & Harry Free

1. Nobody home...Nobody here...A couple of things I got to get clear:

Will we live in a place where we get what we need?

When we get there at last will we know when we see it? (...when we see it.)

I don't want no bad bad feelings...No fickle fickle affairs of the heart.

But, just when I thought that we had us a brand new beginning, You want to know "is it too late to start?"

CHORUS

    Funny you asked. I'd reply but there's no need to sell ya...

    Cause, if you don't know by now, There's no Way to Tell Ya.

1. Will my soul be free? Will I get my fifteen minutes? Couple of things I got to beleive:

That you say what you mean & you mean what you say...

Big time Love is a game you can win if you play it. (...if you play it.)

I been having bad bad dreams...I sweat it sweat it out yeah, every night.

It's always the same: we're adrift in a sea of gasoline... And you want to know: Will I give you a light?

CHORUS

SOLO

I don't want no bad bad feelings...No fickle fickle affairs of the heart.

But, just when I thought that we had us a brand new beginning, You want to know "is it too late to start?"

CHORUS (twice)

DO IT (Porque no lo haces?)            Music and Lyrics by: Peter Ragan

Porque no lo haces? Favor de hacer lo. Porque no lo haces? Te quiero te quiero.

Porque no lo haces? Favor de hacer lo. Porque no lo haces? Te quiero te quiero.

1. We used to do it. And then we would do it. We would really do it. Then we would do it again.

Now we don't do it. We never do it. Will we ever do it...ever do it again?

2. We could just do it...right here we could do it.

Right now we could do it. Then we could do it again.

'Cause if we don't do it we may never do it.

We may never do it...ever do it again.

DRIVIN' YOU OUT OF MY MIND     Music and Lyrics by: Tommy Lewis

1. You said it's over. What was I to do? Stand here, lookin' lonely, after all that we've been through?

You said "Don't blame yourself 'cause Honey...it's not you. I just need some time to be alone with somebody new."

2. I started to crumble...I started to crawl......Then a little voice inside my head said "Stand up straight and tall."

I packed up my old pickup truck with all my favorite things...Said goodbye to you-and-I and I cut those hurtin' strings.

    I'm drivin' you out of my mind....I know that I'll feel better, once I cross the County Line.

    I can't find a reason to do it one more time...I ain't hangin' around, I'm drivin' you out of my mind.

    Just a matter of pretending that we never loved at all.

    There was never a beginning....and I never had to take a fall.

I can't find a reason to do it one more time...

I ain't hangin' around, I'm drivin' you out of my mind.

NIGHT OF WEAKNESS             Music and Lyrics by: Hal Buckingham

1. There's a cold, clear chill to the wind...Oh, I need you now...

For the soft warm touch of your skin I'd climb a moun'-climb a moun'-climb a mountain.

But it seems that you're gone for good. The writing's on the wall.

You turned your back...Thought you should! I'd climb a moun'-climb a moun'-climb a mountain.

    Cause it was just one Night of Weakness.....One Night of Weakness

and I might as well go climb a mountain...As try and get back to you.

2. I was tryin' to get out of the rain...She was working late.

We talked,...and she whispered my name.....I'd climb a moun'-climb a moun'-climb a mountain.

Then the bed, the thrill, & the wine...It almost took your place.

But it was all just a crazy design...I'd climb a moun'-climb a moun'-climb a mountain.

LIVE WITH THAT     Music by: Hal Buckingham-Lyrics by: John Radcliffe and Tommy Lewis

1.Tears come down and things are said...that you can't take back.

One too many times, this old train should have jumped the track.

But I'm still standing here...and you're still standing here...And I know somehow our love will remain.

After all is said and done...I can live with that....Yeah, I can live with that.

2. Time has come and gone for letting go.

You still make my day complete...Keep me coming home.

And I'm still standing here...and you're still standing here...

And I know somehow our love will remain.

After all that we've been through...I can live with that.

Yeah, I can live with that

3. Yesterday...Tomorrow...'til the end of time

Thick or thin...dark or light...you are yours and I am mine.

And I'm still standing here...and you're still standing here...And I know somehow our love will remain.

One step forward-one step back...I can live with that.......Yeah, I can live with that
