Allman Brothers - Midnight Rider

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XyOD-ctLXv0



well, i've got to run to keep from hiding
and i'm bound to keep on riding
i've got one more silver dollar
but i'm not gonna let them catch me, no
not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider

and i don't own the clothes i'm wearing
and the road goes on forever
i've got one more silver dollar
but i'm not gonna let them catch me, no
not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider

and i've gone by the point of caring
some old bed i'll soon be sharing
i've got one more silver dollar
but i'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
not gonna let them catch the midnight rider

well i'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
not gonna let them catch the midnight rider

well i'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
not gonna let them catch the midnight rider

Allman Brothers - Ramblin' Man

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WGVW7byRCA



lord, i was born a ramblin' man
tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best i can
and when it's time for leavin'
i hope you'll understand
that i was born a ramblin' man

my daddy was a gambler down in georgia
he wound up on the wrong end of a gun
and i was born in the back seat of a greyhound bus
rollin' down highway forty-one

lord, i was born a ramblin' man
tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best i can
and when it's time for leavin'
i hope you'll understand
that i was born a ramblin' man

i'm on my way down to new orleans this mornin'
i'm leavin' out of nashville, tennessee
they're always having a good time down on the bayou
lord, them delta women think the world of me

lord, i was born a ramblin' man
tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best i can
and when it's time for leavin'
i hope you'll understand
that i was born a ramblin' man
. . .

lord, i was born a ramblin' man
lord, i was born a ramblin' man
lord, i was born a ramblin' man

Steve Miller Band - Space Cowboy

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwoiy-Fwm0E



i told you 'bout living in the U.S. of A.
don't you know that i'm a gangster of love
let me tell you people that i found a new way
and i'm tired of all this talk about love
and the same old story with a new set of words
about the good and the bad and the poor
and the times keep on changin'
so i'm keepin' on top
of every fat cat who walks through my door

i'm a space cowboy
bet you weren't ready for that
i'm a space cowboy
i'm sure you know where it's at
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

i see the show downs, slow downs, lost and found, turn arounds
the boys in the military shirts
i keep my eyes on the prize, on the long fallen skies
and i don't let my friends get hurt
all you back room schemers, power trip dreamers
better find something new to say
cause you're the same old story
with a new set of words
and you got some heavy dues to pay


i'm a space cowboy
bet you weren't ready for that
i'm a space cowboy
i'm sure you know where it's at
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah


(additional lyrics not covered in this version:
i was born on this rock
and i've been travelin' through space
since the moment i first realized
what all you fast talkin' cats would do if you could
you know, i'm ready for the final surprise
there ain't no way around it
ain't nothing to say
that's gonna satisfy my soul deep inside
all the prayers and surveyors
keep the whole place uptight
while it keeps on gettin' darker outside

i'm a space cowboy
bet you weren't ready for that
i'm a space cowboy
i'm sure you know where it's at
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

i see the show downs, slow downs, lost and found, turn arounds
the boys in the military shirts
i keep my eyes on the prize, on the long fallen skies
and i don't let my friends get hurt
all you back room schemers, power trip dreamers
better find something new to say
cause you're the same old story
with a new set of words
and you got some heavy dues to pay

i'm a space cowboy
bet you weren't ready for that
i'm a space cowboy
i'm sure you know where it's at
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
