Down at the Meramec Cafe
I hang out there when I got a day
Off from on the line
I go down there and I pop a beer
And I get to feelin' fine
Cos the folks down there are friends of mine
At the Meramec Cafe
Down at the Meramec Cafe
I meet a lot of guys who love to play guitar
And play all day
Til halftime rolls around and then
They have to go away
From the Meramec Cafe
So I'll sit in on a hand of hearts
And that's when the fun all starts
We pop a tape & start to jam
And get complaints from the people who cram for exams
Down at the Meramec Cafe
I would stay til my beard turns gray
But it's time for me to go
But I'll be back now don'tcha know
That I cannot stay away
From the Meramec Cafe

It takes a lot to love a man with no money in his hand
And a future that isn't really sure
A man who sits around from sun-up til sundown
Writing tunes, hoping something will occur
I waited many years for that someone to appear
I finally lost all hope
Then you came along, the answer to my song
When I was at the end of my rope
And you've been patient while I got myself in line
And now I want you to be mine
Now it's two people together that's how it's gonna be
You soon will be my wife, my all eternally
And when anybody asks me who got me where I did
I smile and think 'Here's looking at you kid'
There's no more I can say on this, our wedding day
I'm happy 'cos we made it this far
The future's lookin' bright and has ever since the night
We kissed below a sky full of stars.
Now the stars in your eyes will see me thru
When they hear the love I have inside for you
Now it's two people together that's how it's gonna be
You soon will be my wife, my all eternally
And when anybody asks me who got me where I did
I smile and think 'Here's looking at you kid'
Now the stars in your eyes will see me thru
When they hear the love I have inside for you
Now it's two people together that's how it's gonna be
You soon will be my wife, my all eternally
And when anybody asks me who got me where I did
I smile and think 'Here's looking at you kid'
And when anybody asks me who got me where I did
I smile and think 'Here's looking at you kid'

Home For The Holidays

I'm a man on the road, a wandering minstrel
And it gets lonely when you go from town to town
But there's people now who wanna hear me play my songs
And I can't let them down
But I can tell you all I think about it home
And of all of those who need me to be there
So if you aren't too sure I'm coming home at Christmastime
Have faith, the Lord will take good care
He'll make sure that I'm home for the holidays
When the tree lights up my gifts will be
The first ones that you see
I'm coming home for the holidays
When the folks all get together
And the snow is falling free
When the people of the earth celebrate the Saviour's birth
Then I'll be coming thru the door
I couldn't ask for more than to be with you
And all the rest I love back at home for the holidays
So if anybody asks you if I'm going to be home
Then you can tell them all for sure
I couldn't ask for more than to be with you
And all the rest I love back at home for the holidays
I couldn't ask for more than to be with you
And all the rest I love back at home for the holidays

It makes me smile
Just to see you standing at my door
I'm so alone
And I can't live without you anymore
So come and lay down by my side
I just wanna hold you close and be with you tonight
Cos I can't take
One more night without you in my arms
You're in my dreams
I go to sleep just knowing you'll be there
When I'm awake
I think about you, it don't matter where
Even the blind can see
I was meant to be with you & you were meant for me
But I can't take
One more night without you in my arms
One more night without you lying in my arms
One more night would do my heart a lot of harm
I need you here with me
Excuse me please for asking you to run away with me
But I can't take one more night without you in my arms
When I'm alone
I find myself just sittin' by the phone
This loneliness
I feel for you has gotten in my bones
I wonder where you are
You're more fun to play with than my electric guitar
But I can't take
One more night without you in my arms
One more night without you lying in my arms
One more night would do my heart a lot of harm
I need you here with me
Excuse me please for asking you to run away with me
But I can't take one more night without you in my arms
One more night without you in my arms
One more night without you in my arms

Right To Live

America, it's time to help our own
A few of us have tried but we can't do it all alone.
It's time to come together & make things come out right
We can't solve the problem until we all unite
But where do you think the food will come from
If we don't help the people who made this country strong
You can't feed little children on promises & dreams
It's time to help their families come along
From the headlines to the coastlines
The calls weren't being heard
We can't stay so distant that we don't hear the words
They need our assistance, as much as we can give
In turn they're giving us the right to live
The hungry have shed their tears of pain
It's our job to help them so their tears are not in vain
Hunger is a sickness that we can conquer now
Defeating it is easy. We have to show them how
Now some of us might say why feel guilty
The problems that we hear about are half a world away
Take a look around you, they're not so far at all
But to stamp 'em out we have to start today
From the headlines to the coastlines
The calls weren't being heard
We can't stay so distant that we don't hear the words
They need our assistance, as much as we can give
In turn they're giving us the right to live
The right to live
They're giving us the right to live.

I Love You More Each Day
02:18

I've sat down many times to write and tell you how I feel
But each time I find words are not enough
So I'm just gonna say it in terms I understand so well
And maybe then it won't be all that tough
Cos I love you like fleas love a dog
Like termites love a log
I guess that all I'm trying to say is
I love you like maggots love road bunnies
I know it may sound funny but I love you more each day
You may not think I'm serious when I sing to you
But I mean it from the bottom of my heart
Just look into my eyes, you find that all I say is true
When it comes to love, you're the biggest part
Cos I love you like a wrestler loves his suplex
Like my trash can loves my rejects
It's the only way I know to say
I love you like a pyro loves his arson
You perk me up of course & I love you more each day
Oh I love you like a killer loves mad slashing
Like a caveman loves head bashing
And I hope we stay this way you see
I love you like a street gang loves its chains
How else can I explain that I love you more each day
I love you more each day..........

Anyone But You

Holdin' hands on a rainy day
Walkin' through the park
Sittin' talkin' all night long
Laughin' in the dark
Makin' vows and promises to love each other true
I can't imagine doin' that with anyone but you
Headin' out in the afternoon
Feelin' good inside
Watchin' while the sun goes down
Love can't be denied
Talkin' over things we've done and never feelin' blue
I can't imagine doin' that with anyone but you
You are my reason, you're my everything
You smile and all the world begins to sing
And if you ever walked away I don't know what I'd do
Cos I can't imagine ever lovin' anyone but you
Arm in arm on a summer night
Hand in hand by day
Gazin' in each other's eyes
Nothin' much to say
Findin' out so many things in life we never knew
I can't imagine doin' that with anyone but you
Makin' plans for the future now
With all our hopes and dreams
Thinkin' 'bout the road ahead
Knowin' what it means
Givin' everything we've got to pull each other thru
I can't imagine doing that with anyone but you
You are my reason, you're my everything
You smile and all the world begins to sing
And if you ever walked away I don't know what I'd do
Cos I can't imagine ever lovin' anyone but you
(Anyone but you)
Anyone but you
Anyone but you
