Verse Me and this truck are headed down to New Orleans I got the Pete wound up and she's running mighty lean But before I could make the deal go down Katrina done rumbled ino town And when the levees broke That's all that she wrote Chorus I'm headed into disaster Pushin into the red I'm headed into disaster Full speed ahead Got another load for the west side of the twin cities The Pete's loaded down and she's runnin mighty pretty As I approached the Mississippi bridge I could not believe what it did My jaw dropped in awe When I saw that big bridge fall chorus Bridge I've always been a small government man Lately I'm think that's not such a reall good plan People who hate the government Shouldn't be running the government Government is supposed to be Of, by, and for you and me chorus (We) We're headed into disaster The budget's in the red We're headed into disaster We must be out of our heads

Jackie 04:06
I named my new dog Jackie To honor the great 42 Wasn't too long till she surprised me With this amazing thing she could do This dog could speak like a movie star Least that's how it occurred to my ears So I took her down to the local bar To try and score some free beers Jackie and I walked right on in And straight away hailed the keep I said hey Joe what do you know I found me a dog what can speak I says to Joe now what will you pay Will you spot me a beer or three Joe says hey if she does what you say You can drink every night for free Joe says hey if she does what you say You can drink every night for free Jackie now don't be a timid mouse Let's offer up some kind of proof What do you find on the top of a house Jackie said quickly "roof" The bartender says no deal Ask her something more tough So I asked her how does sandpaper feel She without hesitation says "ruff" Joe says I ain't going to pay her Cause you ain't speaking the truth Then I asked her who's the greatest ball player She thought for a bit and says "Ruth" Chorus The bartender said with a hardy shout Take your dog and get out The bartender said with a hardy shout Take your stupid mangy dog and get out Jackie and I walked on down the street I was really feeling quite sad Thinking of all the girls I could meet And all the beers I coulda had Jackie she stops and she looks at me And cocks her cute little head [pause] She says "Next time you ask that question of me, Should I say Mickey Mantle instead?" She says "Next time you ask that question of me, Should I say Mickey Mantle instead?"

The Boston tea party was not about taxes Don't you believe it, here's what the facts is. The reason that Adams and Revere were so pissed Is something that history teachers often have missed You see East India Company had debts to pay So the King and Brit Parliament looked for a way To corner the market on the colonist's tea Giving East India monopoly. But a group of patriots fought for a new nation To set us all free from kings and corporations Washington Jefferson Sam Adams Revere Made a stand for values held dear CHORUS They said We the people, we have the power To take on all injustice, and make it right We the people, this is the hour To set aside all difference and stand and fight If history teaches anything it's that we must resist CORPORATE KINGS Rockefeller oil, Carnegie Steel American tobacco JP Morgan rail Randolf Hearst had the papers and opinions They each had their union busting minions But a group of progressives fought for the nation To set us all free from kings of corporations Teddy and the muckrakers Wilson and Taft Busted up trusts and they hoped it would last CHORUS BRIDGE: "Corporate Kings" have changed through centuries First there was one king and one company The robber barons were kings of monopoly Now a few globals want dominion over you and me So Progressives must once again fight for this nation To set us all free from corporate domination Lakoff Chomsky Bernie and Dean Must find a new message to say what we mean CHORUS Chords: Verse |E |Bm |D |A | |E |Bm |D |E | E |E | Pre Chorus |D |E |A |D | |E |F#m |D |E |E | Chorus |A |A |D |D |E |E |A |A | |A |A |D |D |E |E |A |A | |A A D E |D A E E |A D A |E | |E |A | (|A |Bm |) second and third chorus Bridge |D |E |F#m |D | |Bm |C#m |D |E |E | -> Pre-chorus Ending |A |Bm |A |Bm |

Driving to the late night show, through the falling snow Thinking about the holiday crush, and being in a rush I pull up to the stop light, Looking left and looking right Instead of coming to a stop my car spins like top I'm Slip slip slip slippin' away oh I'm slip slip slipping away I'm Slip slip slip slippin' away And slipping away won't do I get to the gig alright, and I'm up on stage all night Pouring out my heart, trying to get a start Getting to the end of the show and, I'm startin' to really know That I'm gone and I just want to go home I'm Slip slip slip slippin' away oh I'm slip slip slipping away I'm Slip slip slip slippin' away I'm slipping away from you Lead break bridge progression Now it's getting really late, even though we're sounding great But tonight the crowd is thin, nobody wandering in I can't wait to get to my car, then I see you at the bar That moment when our eyes meet you knocked me off my feet I'm Slip slip slip slippin' away oh I'm slip slip slipping away I'm Slip slip slip slippin' away I'm slipping away with you I'm Slip slip slip slippin' away oh I'm slip slip slipping away I'm Slip slip slip slippin' away I'm slipping away with you Chords: |E |B7 |B7 |E | |E |B7 |B7 |E walkup| |A |E |A |B | |B |B AGF#|E AG|E AG| [Lead break] |C#m |G#m |C#m |G#m | |F#m |G#m |F#m |G#m | |A |B | [drop and build] |B |B AGF#| |E AG|E AG|

Stay Close 05:21
We grab the leash and head on out Can't wait any more Sniffing round where other dogs go There's a big world to explore But you can't see what's going on up around the bend And you can't know what you might find where you have never been Chorus So Stay Close, don't you run too far ahead of me Stay Close, don't you fall too far behind Stay Close, there's danger there that you can't see The strength is in our numbers, when we stay close Swapping rings on our big day Can't wait any more Together adventure is about to begin There's a big world to explore But we can't see what's going on up around the bend And we can't know what we might find where we have never been chorus Toddling down the fair midway Can't wait any more Hold my hand, your legs are small There's a big world to explore Child you can't see what's going on up around the bend And you can't know what you might find where you've never been Bridge Fear is used as a wedge between community But we can conquer anything together if we chorus Holding hands, you're by my side Can't wait any more I'm passing to the other side There's a big world to explore I can't see what's going on up around the bend And I can't know what I might find where I have never been chorus Chords: Chorus |G |G |D |G | |G |G |D |G | |C |D |pause |G |G |D |G | |G |G |D |G | Verse |G |G |C |G | |G |G |C |G | |D |D |C |G | |D |D |C |D | Bridge |Am |Bm |C |D | |Am |Bm |C |D |

Life Is Like 03:21
Verse Every birth begins with a beating heart You know it's often hard figure out the start Once it gets to rolling, seems like it will never end Kinda like when you find that first forever friend Chorus Life is Like a roll of TP It rolls on until it's gone Seems at first that it will last But in the end it's going fast Plenty of people are willing to advise you Of all the ways and things that you ought to do The only way that you can get all of that to stop Is do it right and live your life always from the top Chorus Each time around doesn't seem to make a dent Pretty soon you're wondering where it all went As it gets to the end you start to treasure each Another roll, you know, is always out of reach Chorus Chorus G G D G G G D G Verse D G D G C G C D

Verse 1 You can hear that train a rolling, rumbling down the track You feel your time slipping by, it ain't never coming back You can see it in the distance, you can hear that whistle blow How your life got on this track, no body seems to know Chorus Train of days gone by Train of days gone by Verse 2 There's a voice out in the distance, you can hear it calling you Reminding you of your past, and all that you've been through Time may heal all problems, but it can also crush your dreams Leavin behind where you been, is even harder than it seems Chorus Verse 3 Time just keeps on rolling, right on down the line Try to even slow it down, is a huge waste of mind Although there is no stopping, there's switches on the way Throw the right ones now, and you'll arrive in better days Chorus [Lead Break] Chorus
