    1. Woman Don't You Cry For Me

      I'm gonna leave you here
      I'm gonna leave you at the station
      I've got a long way to go baby
      Woman don't you cry for me

      Now I can't take no more
      Now I don't need no complication
      I've got a long way to go baby
      Woman don't you cry for me

      There's no one place I want to be
      Attachment only hurts you
      Take care of yourself baby
      C'mon won't you let me be

      There's just one thing I got to see
      That's the Lord got to keep him in sight
      Take care of yourself baby
      C'mon won't you let me be

      There's no one place I want to be
      Attachment only hurts you
      Better take care of yourself baby
      C'mon won't you try to see

      There is just one thing I got to see
      That's the Lord got to keep him in sight
      Take care of yourself baby
      C'mon won't you let me be

      Now baby here's the door
      I don't need no aggravation
      I've got a long way to go baby
      Woman don't you cry for me

      I'm gonna leave you here
      I'm gonna leave you at the station
      I've got a long way to go baby
      Woman don't you cry for me

      I've got a long way to go baby
      Woman don't you cry for me

    2. Dear One

      Dear One near me - truth assessed
      Reborn worldwise - mind at rest
      True heart sow you - God has blessed
      Your soul whispers - love confessed

      My spirit sings to you now
      Creation stands at your feet
      My feelings call to you now
      Dear One I love (a) you

      You hear my spirit sing to you
      You see creation at your feet
      You feel my feelings calling you
      You know Dear One I love (a) you

      Dear One show me - simple Grace
      Move me toward Thee - with each pace

      My spirit sings to you now
      Creation stands at your feet
      My feelings call to you now
      Dear One I love (a) you

      You hear my spirit sing to you
      You see creation at your feet
      You feel my feelings calling you
      You know Dear One I love ( a ) you

    3. Beautiful Girl

      Never seen such a beautiful girl
      Got me shaking inside
      Calling on me from deep within her eyes
      Not the kind you go handing around
      Want to keep her right there
      But this love it don't come as no surprise

      And when I saw the way that she smiled at me
      I knew it there and then that she was A 1
      And then I felt the way she was touching me
      Was something I had known I was waiting upon

      Never seen such a beautiful girl
      Had me quickly untied
      Calling to me she made me realize
      Not the kind that is lost or is found
      She has always been there
      A lover needed for this soul to survive

      And when I saw the way that she smiled at me
      I knew it there and then that she was A1
      And when I felt the way she got through to me
      Was something I had know I was waiting upon

      Never seen such a beautiful girl
      Got me shaking inside
      Calling on me from deep within her eyes
      Not the kind you go handing around
      Want to keep her right there
      But this love it don't come as no surprise

    4. This Song

      This song has nothing tricky about it
      This song ain't black or white and as far as I know
      Don't infringe on anyone's copyright, so . . .

      This song we'll let be
      This song is in E
      This song is for you and . . .

      This tune has nothing Bright about it
      This tune ain't bad or good and come ever what may
      My expert tells me it's okay

      As this song came to me
      Quite unknowingly
      This song could be you could be . . .

      This riff ain't trying to win gold medals
      This riff ain't hip or square
      Well done or rare
      May end up one more weight to bear

      But this song could well be
      A reason to see - that
      Without you there's no point to . . . this song

    5. See Yourself

      It's easier to tell a lie than it is to tell the truth
      It's easier to kill a fly than it is to turn it loose
      It's easier to criticize somebody else
      Than to see yourself

      It's easier to give a sigh and be like all the rest
      Who stand around and crucify you while you do your best
      It's easier to see the books upon the shelf
      Than to see yourself

      It's easier to hurt someone and make them cry
      Than it is to dry their eyes
      I got tired of fooling around with other people's lies
      Rather I'd find someone that's true

      It's easier to say you won't than it is to feel you can
      It's easier to drag your feet than it is to be a man
      It's easier to look at someone eles's wealth
      Than to see yourself

    6. It's What You Value

      Someone's driving a 450
      And his friends are so wild
      They're still in their stick shifties
      But they feel they have much more style
      But I've found . . .

      It's all up to what you value
      Down to where you are
      It all swings on the pain you've gone through
      Getting where you are

      It's all up to what you value
      In your motor car
      It all rests on what it's cost you
      Getting where you are
      It's what you value

      Someone's driving a 6-wheeler
      Seems the world is all blurred
      Knows he's in a show stealer
      With a sound that's uncompared
      And I've found

      It's all up to what you value
      Down to where you are
      It all swings on the pain you're gone through
      Getting where you are

      It's all up to what you value
      In your motor car
      It all rests on what it cost's you
      Getting where you are
      It's what you value.

    7. True Love

      I give to you and you give to me
      True love . . . it's a true love
      So on and on it will always be
      True love . . . it's a true love

      For you and I have a guardian angel
      On high with nothing to do
      But to give to you and to give to me
      A love forever true
      A love forever true

    8. Pure Smokey

      Throughout my lifetimes I'd hesitate
      I'd feel some joy
      But before I'd show my thanks it became too late
      But now all the way I want to find the time
      Stop and say
      I thank you Lord for giving us each new day

      And as I think back over so many years
      Love that's filled my ears
      I got to thank you Lord for giving us Pure Smokey
      And anyone who hears - hears that voice so free
      He really got a hold on me
      And I thank you all for giving to us Smokey - Smokey

      Singing it so sweetly
      Like no one else could do
      Always trying something new
      I thank you all for giving us Pure Smokey

    9. Crackerbox Palace

      I was so young when I was born
      My eyes could not yet see
      And by the time of my first dawn
      Somebody holding me . . . they said

      I welcome you to Crackerbox Palace
      We've been expecting you
      You bring such joy in Crackerbox Palace
      No matter where you roam know our love is true

      While growing up or trying to
      Not knowing where to start
      I looked around for someone who
      May help reveal my heart - someone said

      While you're a part of Cracerbox Palace
      Do what the rest all do
      Or face the fact that Crackerbox Palace
      May have no other choice than to deport you

      I welcome you to Crackerbox Palace
      We've been expecting you
      You bring us joy in Crackerbox Palace
      No matter where you roam know our love is true

      Sometimes are good . . . sometimes are bad
      That's all a part of life
      And standing in between them all
      I met a Mr. Grief - and he said

      I welcome you to Crackerbox Palace
      Was not expecting you
      Let's rap and tap at Crackerbox Palace
      Know that the Lord is well and inside of you
    Chorus

    10. Learning How To Love You

      While all is still in the night
      And silence starts its flow
      Become or disbelieve me
      Left alone with my heart
      I'm learning how to love you

      While waiting on the Light
      How patience learned to grow
      Endeavor could relieve me
      Left alone with my heart
      I know that I can love you

      Love you like you may have never been
      Move you more ways than you have seen
      To a point in the time where we see so much more
      Than the ground that we touch
      With each step so unsure

      As teardrops cloud the sight
      Your eyes may never know
      No truth could ever fear me
      And left alone with my heart
      I'm learning how to love you.

      Love you like you may have never seen
      Move you more ways than you have been
      To a point in the time where we see so much more
      Than the ground that we touch
      With each step so unsure

      As teardrops cloud the sight
      Your eyes may never know
      No truth could ever fear me
      And left alone with my heart
      I'm learning how to love you.
