UP

1. ROSE ON THE WATER (J. Vargas/J. Espinoza)

 

ROSE ON THE WATER

SAILS AT MY FEET

WAVES MAKE THEIR CALLING

SONGS OF THE BEACH

I'LL GET YOUR LOVING

LIKE A KLEPTO THIEF

I'LL GET YOUR LOVING

AND SET YOU FREE

 

ROSE ON THE WATER

ALL LOVE IS HERE

MY HEART IS CALLING

ECHOES FROM THE PIER

I'LL GET YOUR LOVING

WHAT DO YOU FEAR?

I'LL GET YOUR LOVING

COME OVER HERE

I'LL GET YOUR LOVING

WHY CAN'T YOU HEAR?

I'LL GET YOUR LOVING

YEAH, YEAH

 

ROSE ON THE WATER

AT LAST WE'RE FREE

MARTYRS HAVE FALLEN

WHISPERS THE BREEZE

I GOT YOUR LOVING

LIKE A KLEPTO THIEF

I GOT YOUR LOVING

I PLANT THE SEED

I GOT YOUR LOVING

NOW WE ARE FREE

I GOT YOUR LOVING

YEAH, YEAH

 

LOVE, AND LOVE, AND LOVE IS ONE

 

UP

2. BLUES PILGRIMAGE (J. Vargas/J. Espinoza)

 

SOMEWHERE ON THE DELTA

WHERE THE BLUES WAS BORN

A MAN CHILD'S GROWING

CLOTHES ARE OLD AND WORN

PLAYS A BOX GUITAR

STRUMMING OUT SOME CHORDS

SINGING 'BOUT SALVATION

LIKE HIS SOUL IS TORN

ON A BLUES PILGRIMAGE

 

STANDING AT THE CROSSROADS

SINKING TO HIS KNEES

YOU KNOW HE'D SELL HIS SOUL

IF THAT IS WHAT HE NEEDS

TO MAKE HIS GUITAR CRY

JOIN THE BLUES ELITE

LIKE THE GREATS BEFORE HIM

HE'LL MAKE THE PILGRIMAGE

ON A BLUES PILGRIMAGE

 

DOWN THE MISSISSIPPI

WHERE THE MUDDY WATER RUN

WHERE SON HOUSE PLAYED

'NEATH THAT OLD HOT DELTA SUN

MEMPHIS AND ST. LOUIS

HELLO B.B. KING

STRAIGHT ON THE CHICAGO

FOLLOWING HIS DREAM

ON A BLUES PILGRIMAGE

 

DOWN THE MISSISSIPPI

WHERE THE MUDDY WATER RUN

WHERE SON HOUSE PLAYED

'NEATH THAT RED HOT DELTA SUN

MEMPHIS AND ST. LOUIS

B.B.'S STILL THE KING

STRAIGHT ON TO CHICAGO

FOLLOWING HIS DREAM

ON A BLUES PILGRIMAGE

 

UP

4. LOVE, AIN'T GOT NOWHERE TO GO (J. Vargas/J. Espinoza)

 

I GOT A LOVE

AIN'T GOT NOWHERE TO GO

I GOT A LOVE

AIN'T GOT NOWHERE TO GO

'CAUSE SHE GOT SOME OTHER GUY

AND I'M LEFT OUT IN THE COLD

 

I GET NO SLEEP

KNOWING IT'S ALL WRONG

JUST KNOWING IT'S ALL WRONG

BUT I TRY AND DO THE RIGHT THING

'CAUSE I KNOW I DON'T BELONG

 

I GOT A LOVE

AIN'T GOT NOWHERE TO GO

5. RIDE, BABY, RIDE (J. Vargas/J. Espinoza)

 

WHEN I WOKE UP THIS MORNING

HAD A ZORG-ON CAME FROM OUTER SPACE

I WAS DREAMING 'BOUT MY BABY

HOW SHE DRIVE ME CRAZY DRESSED UP IN LACE

SHE GOTTA A WHOLE LOT OF LOVIN'

AND SHE SHAKE IT LIKE A FRISCO QUAKE

 

WELL, I GOT BEHIND THE WHEEL

HEADED OUT ON TO THE INTERSTATE 5

I WAS PUMPING ON THE PEDAL

I WAS DOING OVER NINETY-FIVE

I GOTTA A ONE TRACK MIND

SHE'S A BRONCO WAITIN' FOR A RIDE

 

RIDE, BABY, RIDE

WE'RE GONNA RIDE PRETTY BABY

SHAKE IT LIKE SOME TUMBLIN' DICE

 

SHE LIKES THE STUNT KIND OF ACTION

IT'S LIGHTS, CAMERA, HERE WE GO

SHE'S A STACK OF DYNAMITE

WITH HER DETONATOR SET TO BLOW

I'M A KAMAKAZEE PILOT

GONNA HIT YOU ON YOUR DECK BELOW

 

RIDE, BABY, RIDE

WE'RE GONNA RIDE PRETTY BABY

SHAKE IT LIKE SOME TUMBLIN' DICE

6. BLACK CAT BOOGIE (J. Vargas/J. Espinoza)

 

SHELL ON OUT

FIVE BUCKS TO START THE NIGHT

THE NEXT DANCER

HURRY AS SHE WALK ON BY

NEON LIGHTS, ROAD MUSIC

CIGARETTES, AND BEER

BRACED AGAINST THE MIRROR

COME ON, TAKE IT ALL OFF BABE

OH, HOW THEY LIKE TO PLAY

AT THE BLACKCAT

THEY DO THE BLACKCAT BOOGIE

YEAH, AT THE BLACKCAT

ONE MORE ROUND

AS SHE STRUT ACROSS THE FLOOR

BIG DOLLAR TIPS

IF YOU WANNA SEE SOME MORE

SLIP THAT TOP OFF FOR YA

WATCH HER SHAKE 'EM FREE

FIRM AND PROUD

THAT SURE IS WHAT YOU NEED

BEND OVER, AND TOUCH YOUR TOES

GOODNESS, WHAT YOU GOT TO SHOW

7. 1969 (J. Vargas/J. Espinoza)

 

SUNDRESS AND FLOWERS

I GOT HER ON MY MIND

SHE GAVE ME FREE SWEET LOVE

AQUARIUS WAS HER SIGN

BACK IN NINETEEN

BACK IN NINETEEN

NINETEEN SIXTY-NINE

 

DID YOU EVER HEAR HIM PLAY?

HE OPENED UP MY EYES

WHAT A GLORIOUS MOMENT

WHEN HE KISSED THE SKY

BACK IN NINETEEN

BACK IN NINETEEN

NINETEEN SIXTY-NINE

 

DID YOU THINK THE WORLD WOULD CHANGE?

THAT THE WAR WOULD END

AND FREEDOM SING?

DID YOU TAKE THE MAGIC CARPET RIDE

FOLLOWING A DREAM?

DID I SEE YOU THERE AT WOODSTOCK

OR ON THE DOCK OF THE BAY

ON PURPLE HAZE?

BACK IN NINETEEN SIXTY-NINE

 

BACK IN NINETEEN

BACK IN NINETEEN

DO YOU REMEMBER NINETEEN SIXTY-NINE?

BACK IN NINETEEN

BACK IN NINETEEN

DO YOU REMEMBER NINETEEN SIXTY-NINE

DO YOU REMEMBER ALL OF THE MAGIC?

BACK IN NINETEEN SIXTY-NINE

BACK IN NINETEEN

BACK IN NINETEEN

DO YOU REMEMBER NINETEEN SIXTY-NINE?

8. RIDIN’ HIGH (J. Vargas/P.A. Guttman)

 

I'M RIDING, I'M RIDING HIGH

YES I'M RIDING, I'M RIDING HIGH

I'M ROLLING, RUNNING ON THROUGH THE NIGHT

 

SHE'S A COOL TEASER AND I CAN'T GET HER OFF MY MIND

WHEN I'M AWAY FROM HER, SEEMS LIKE I'M DOING TIME

WELL I'M RIDING, I'M RIDING HIGH

I'M BURNING UP THIS ROAD

TRYING TO GET HOME 'FORE THE MORNING LIGHT

 

THE MAN TOLD ME "SON, TRY THIS SHIRT AND TIE"

BUT I'M DOING WHAT I CAN NOT TO DO THAT "NINE TO FIVE"

I'M RIDING, I'M RIDING HIGH

I SAID "TOO MUCH RULES AND REGULATIONS"

I GOT TO SAY "BYE BYE"

 

I WASTED TOO MUCH TIME DOWN THERE ON COULD NINE

BUT NOW I'M UP AND MOVING MAKING UP FOR LOST TIME

SEE I'M RIDING, I'M UP HERE RIDING HIGH

AND I CAN'T BE LOOKING BACK

I GOT TO GET BACK FOR WHAT IS MINE

 

I'M RIDING, I'M RIDING HIGH

I'M RIDING, 'SAID I'M RIDING HIGH AND I CAN'T SLOW DOWN

I'M TRYING TO MAKE IT THROUGH THE NIGHT

 

UP

9. THINKING OF YOU (J. Vargas/J. Espinoza)

 

HOLD ON

TO WHAT'S LEFT OF MY PRIDE

I'M LEAVING

MY FREEDOM BEHIND

IT'S ALL WRONG

MY REASON CONFINED

COLD WALLS

STEEL BARS

GREY LIGHTS

DON'T TAKE THE KEY AWAY, PLEASE!

THINKING OF YOU

I HAVEN'T MUCH TIME

MY SOUL IS A WOUND

THEY'RE TAKING MY LIFE

AND, I'M THINKING OF YOU

 

SO LONG

I WANT YOU TO KNOW

IT'S NEAR DAWN

I'M TRYING TO COPE

DON'T CRY

DON'T GIVE UP HOPE

THEY'RE COMING

TO TAKE ME

ON THAT FINAL WALK

DON'T PULL THAT SWITCH ON ME, PLEASE!

THINKING OF YOU

I'VE RUN OUT OF TIME

MY SOUL IS A WOUND

THEY'RE TAKING MY LIFE

AND, I'M THINKING OF YOU

THINKING OF YOU
