I Don't Want To Go Home
(S. Van Zandt)
Oh, I know that it's getting late
But I don't want to go home
I'm in no hurry baby time can wait
'Cause I don't want to go home
Listen to the man sing his song
I don't want to go home
I don't mind if it takes all night long
'Cause I don't want to go home
Listen, baby, I know we had to try
To reach up and touch the sky, baby
Whatever happened to you and I
That I don't want to go home?
Lord, look at how all the people stare
Said I don't want to go home
In their minds I know they've all been there
I don't want to go home
I know the words to this song are real
But, oh, I don't want to go home
I know he's talking 'bout the way I feel
And I don't want to go home
Listen, baby, I know we had to try
To reach up and touch the sky, baby
Whatever happened to you and I
That I don't want to go home?
I want to hear people laughing and having a good time
I want to know why she told me she had to go
Why did she leave me lonely?
I know that it's time to go
But I don't want to go home
You can play play your blues, play 'em soft and low
'Cause I don't want to go home
I know the words to this song are real
But, oh, I don't want to go home
I know he's talking 'bout the way I feel
And I don't want to go home
I don't want to go, believe me, darling
I don't want to go home
Don't wanna be all alone
I don't want to go home, baby
Ain't nobody waitin' at home
Baby, won't you please come home
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, won't you please come home?

You Mean So Much To Me
(B. Springsteen)
When she comes to me, like a childhood song
Or an old time friend I haven't seen in so long
When she sings to me it's like a robin's song
She can sing so sweet
No, she won't do me no wrong
When he comes to me in the dark of night
I'm scared and lonely, he can make it alright
When he sings to me, soft and low
I cry, "Oh daddy, please don't let this little girl go"
You mean so much to me baby
You know you're drivin' me crazy
You mean so much to me baby
Oh, I want you for my girl
Oh yes I do
'Cause sometimes she's like a baby playing with a toy
Sometimes she's so much woman
She makes me feel like a little boy
When he comes to me and he's all alone
I cry, "Hey baby, please don't do me no wrong"
You mean so much to me baby
You know you're drivin' me crazy
You mean so much to me baby
Oh, I want you for my guy
Oh baby, I love you so, yes I do
Oh baby, don't ever let me go, oh no, no
When I wake up in the morning and you're by my side
I know we got a love that will never die
In the cool of the evening, when you give me that sign
Yea, you know I ain't leavin', oh we got a love so fine
You mean so much to me baby
You know you're drivin' me crazy
You mean so much to me baby
Oh I want you for my, mmm, baby
Oh I want you for my, ooh, baby
I want you for my my my my my girl

The Fever
(B. Springsteen)
When I get home from my job
I turn on my T.V.
But I can't keep my mind on the show
When I lay down at night
I can't get no sleep
So I turn on the radio
But, the only sound I hear
Is you whisperin' in my ear
The words that you used to say
Now my days grow longer
As my love grows stronger
And the fever gets worse and
I got a fever for a girl
I got the fever
Oh, I got the fever
There ain't nothing that a poor boy can do
When he's got the fever for a girl
I got the fever
Oh, I got the fever
Well, you left this little boy
I can remember comin' home
I see you standin' at the stove
With the dishes on the table
Dinner ready to go
Or maybe on out to a movie show
Something that you'd like to see
Oh, baby, you're my sun in the morning
And my moon at night
I think about you, baby
I feel alright
Days grow longer
As my love grows stronger
And the fever gets worse and
I've got the fever for the girl
I got the fever
Oh, I got the fever
There ain't nothing that a poor boy can do
When he's got the fever for a girl
Got the fever
Oh, I got the fever
Yea, you left this little boy blue
I can remember comin' home
I see you standin' at the stove
With the dishes on the table
Dinner ready to go
Or maybe on out to a movie show
Something that you'd like to see
Oh, baby, you're my sun in the morning
And my moon at night
I think about you, baby
I feel alright
Days grow longer
Love grows stronger
And the fever gets worse and
I've got the fever for the girl
I got the fever
Oh, I got the fever
There ain't nothing, there ain't nothin' I can do
When he's got the fever for a girl
Got the fever
Oh, I got the fever
Left this little boy blue, well
Sure left this little boy blue
There ain't nothin' I can do
Oh, I've got the fever, baby
Baby please come home
I don't wanna be alone
I got the fever for you, girl

Love On The Wrong Side Of Town
(B. Springsteen/S. Van Zandt)
I was there when you needed someone
Look now, baby, see what you have undone
I did most of the talking
But you were the one who lied
Bye-bye, baby, our love is tumblin' down
I can't be hangin' around
Love on the wrong side of town
You were gone when I needed you by my side
There was no one to dry the tears from my eyes
You were the one who cheated
But I was the one who cried
Bye-bye, baby, our love is tumblin' down
I can't be hangin' around
Love on the wrong side of town
Love on the wrong side of town
Bye-bye, baby, love on the wrong side of town
Bye-bye, baby

Got to be a Better Way Home
(S. Van Zandt)
Baby just believe me don't try to read me
I've got to catch the 5:05
I've got a ragged hungry band full of stone survivors
We're out here tryin' to keep it alive
No more favors fuckin' strangers say I owe
Don't care about your problems baby all I want to know
How am I gonna get it
How am I gonna get it
How am I gonna get it tonight?
I work hard enough
I'm tired of smiling at liars
I never said I'd try to set the world on fire
Leave me alone
Got to find a better way home
I do it all in an hour
Could you talk a little louder
I don't open my eyes until midnight
They're screamin' to please me, got to make it look easy
'Cause I'm fighting for my life in the spotlight
I'm dancin' in my corner but the bell won't ring
I've got no time to argue, baby, but tell me one thing
How am I gonna get it
How am I gonna get it
How am I gonna get it tonight?
I work hard enough
Tired of smiling at liars
I never said I'd try to set the world on fire
Leave me alone
Got to find a better way home
I hear the motor revvin' baby, I've got to go
But just before I leave there's one thing I've got to know
How am I gonna get it
How am I gonna get it
How am I gonna get it tonight?
I work hard enough
Tired of smiling at liars
I never said I'd try to set the world on fire
Leave me alone
Got to find a better way home
Comin' home, baby
Comin' home, baby
Comin' home, baby
Comin' home, baby

This Time It's For Real
(S. Van Zandt)
Baby, you can't slow me down
I've come too far to ever turn back now
I've spent my whole life working
Working so hard for it, yes I did
Baby, I changed the odds today
Gonna push the scales, baby, till they tilt my way
Pass that bottle, deal the cards
'Cause I ain't waiting no more, no more
You can say what you want to
But there ain't nothing gonna change my mind
Baby, this time it's for real
I know, I know it, baby
This time it's for real
It's got to be real, baby
The time has come and I've paid the bill
I'll keep the glass raised 'till my cup is filled
I'm gonna keep on shaking
'Till it all comes tumblin' down
Yes I will, baby
Baby, don't give me no advice
Gonna shoot it all, baby, on a roll of the dice
When you start with nothing
You ain't got nothing to lose
Listen, baby
Well you can do what you want to
But there ain't nothing gonna stop me now
Baby, this time it's for real
I know, I know it baby
This time it's for real
I said, said come on
Got to be, baby
You can stay if you wanna
It don't make a bit of difference to me
Baby, this time it's for real
I know, I know it baby
This time it's for real
I know it's got to be real now
I know it this time, baby
I know it, come on, baby
I know, I know, I know it
Baby, this time it's for real
I know it's got to be real
Got to be, got to be real
I know it
It's got to be, got to be real

Hearts of Stone
(B. Springsteen)
You stare in the mirror at the lines in your face
And you try so hard to see
The way things were when we were at your place
Everyday was just you and me
And you cry because things ain't like before
Well, don't you know it can't be that way anymore
But don't worry baby
I can't talk now, I'm not alone
So put your ear close to the phone
This is the last dance, the last chance
For hearts of stone
If there was something, baby, that I could do
Something that would last, honey, I would
But you should know better than to think that you
Can return to the past
So close your eyes and I'll be there
Hold you once more,not go anywhere
I wish I could, babe
But I can't talk now, I'm not alone
So put your ear close to the phone
This is the last dance, the last chance
For hearts of stone
And you cry because things get so strange so fast
And you cry because nothing good ever lasts
Well, I know babe
Yes, I know, babe
But I can't talk now, I'm not alone
So put your ear close to the phone
'Cause this is the last dance, the last chance
For hearts of stone
This is the last dance, the last chance
For hearts of stone

This Time Baby's Gone for Good
(S. Van Zandt)
You're restless baby - the good is gone from your eyes
I've seen that look before but it's different this time
I wonder how long you've been living in this lie
I can't hold on girl
And I can't give up, no, no
I just can't turn and walk away
The night won't make it right, baby, not this time
I know there's nothing left that's gonna change your mind
We played the hard way as long as we could
But this time baby's gone for good
You're running scared, girl
You've lost what you once believed
Do you lie awake at night do you think about me?
Have you found somebody who can give you what you need?
But I can't stay here
It hurts so badly
But I can't just turn and walk away
The night won't make it right, baby, not this time
I know there's nothing left that's gonna change your mind
We played the hard way as long as we could
But this time baby's gone for good
Baby worries, baby bleeds
Baby must have what she sees
Was it so hard, couldn't you see me?
The night won't make it right baby not this time
I know there's nothing left that's gonna change your mind
We played the hard way but it took a little bit too long
But this time baby knows she's wrong
This time baby knows she's wrong
This time baby knows she's wrong
So wrong

I Played the Fool
(S. Van Zandt)
Like the child who's soul's a flame that loves to burn
I'm just the kind of guy who never learns
I guess you had to go
Why was I the last to know?
I played the fool, girl
I did just what you expected
I played the fool
And you're making it so hard to leave this time
I see so much when I look in your eyes
I just can't help myself - I'm hypnotized
It's my turn to walk away
But, baby, I'll be back someday
I played the fool, girl
I did just what you expected
I played the fool
And you're making it so hard to leave this time
It's my turn to walk away
But baby I'll be back someday
I played the fool, girl
I did just what you expected
I played the fool, girl
And you're making it so hard to leave this time
It's my turn to walk away
But baby I'll be back someday
I played the fool, girl
I did just what you expected
I played the fool

Some Things Just Don't Change
(S. Van Zandt)
After the wind dried my eyes
Baby, I knew I'd have to make it without you
I was up all night telling myself lies that I didn't need you
Oh you know I need you baby
Blinded by pride I sent you away
Spend all my time just thinking about you
And all the words that I'd like to say
Stayed inside me, wish you were here beside me
All that fills my life is emptiness and trouble
How could I be so wrong?
Just as long as the sun rises in the morning
Long as the stars shine at night
Just as long as the river's flowin'
My love's gonna keep on growing
Babe, it's all the same
Some things just don't change
Got home today and I got your letter
Cried all night long
Thought by this time I'd be feeling better
Come on home, I've been so lonely
Through my tears I see your face
How could I be so wrong?
Just as long as the sun rises in the morning
Long as the stars shine at night
Just as long as the river's flowin'
My love's gonna keep on growing
Some things just don't change
They just don't change, baby
And I'm gonna love you
Long as the sun rises
Long as the stars shine at night
And always, and always
I'm gonna keep on lovin' you, baby
I can't help myself
No matter where you go
You're still my baby
No matter where you are
You're still my little girl
Always
Come on home
come on home
The door is always open
