Alone 03:13
Sitting on a bus bench Just quietly. No, no mister please don’t make no eye Contact with me. So many silly, pushy people Everywhere Leave me alone, alone why Do you have to stare? When I’m alone, Alone. Alone. I got everything I need When I’m alone. When I’m alone, Alone. Alone. I got everything I need When I’m alone. You say you want to come To come and, visit me. You want some company, but I, I don’t – have those needs. You need some talkin’ soon or You’ll just – fade away. But I don’t think you’ve got A single in-ter-esting thing to say. When I’m alone, Alone. Alone. I got everything I need When I’m alone. When I’m alone, Alone. Alone. I got everything I need When I’m alone. Eight billion people – they can talk among themselves. They should leave me alone to be all by myself. I wish them well, but I just don’t want them around. Is it so bad I just want that still quiet sound? So let me be, I’m fine here in my ser-en-i-ty. And if I find someone who likes the quiet too just like me. Then we can spend some time together Enjoy each others company. And let the world pass by We can – let them be. ‘Cause when WE’RE alone, just you and me Alone. WE have everything we need When WE’RE alone. When WE’RE alone, alone Alone. WE have everything we need When WE’RE alone.

Hot and Cold 02:18
When I met you I knew that it would last. The corners of your mouth turned up And then you made me laugh. I’d think about you all the time Nothing was the same. I’d see you in a sunny day And you brightened up the rain. The year we spent together A memory to me. But lately when I look you up you’re Too busy to see me. Hot and cold, you’re hot and cold With you I’m bought and then I’m sold Because you’re always hot and cold. I felt new things Things I’ve never seen. But then the good times came infrequently with darkness in between. When sorrow filled my eyes Although I still love you. I knew the only thing that I should do. Was getting rid of you. So I got someone new A much better one. It’s someone I know that I can Always depend upon. Hot and cold, you were hot and cold, so I traded cloudy skies for gold Hot and cold, you’re hot and cold You had me bought but now I’m sold. I traded cloudy skies for gold And there’s no more hot and cold.
4.
Come on get the van unloaded Let’s dream of being rich. Right now we gotta do this show. Let’s get it over with. Was on the road at fifteen. I had had no other choice. I thank the good Lord above That I still have my voice. I used to be real pretty. Some people say I glowed. s Years on the road my looks, they say. Now I look more like a toad. The Rhythm of the road, yeah The Rhythm of the road. The Rhythm of the road yeah It’s the Rhythm of the road. We’ll make you think we love you We mean it through and through s And as you sit there watching You’ll believe that it is true. s So come on drop your money. And we’ll have fun with you. A little while we’ll be together And then we’ll all be through. The Rhythm of the road, yeah The Rhythm of the road. The Rhythm of the road yeah It’s the Rhythm of the road. Another greasy dive bar They’re drinking down the beer The band is looking at me yeah, Just get us out of here. Then when the show is over, they all Wanna take peek at me But the only thing I’m thinkin’ is That I need to take a leak. The Rhythm of the road, yeah The Rhythm of the road. s The Rhythm of the road yeah It’s the Rhythm of the road s So load the van back up and I’ll try to call my wife Ten weeks I haven’t seen her This ain’t no kind of life And soon the wheels are rolling To another little town. We’ll do it all again yeah, We’ve got the rhythm down. The Rhythm of the road, yeah The Rhythm of the road. The Rhythm of the road yeah It’s the Rhythm of the road.

Ending 03:27
A few hours older A little bit colder We’re nearer the end. Watching the time fly But nothing quite as I Quite as I had planned Hellos now goodbyes There’s less thrill in your eyes The best is behind. The lights become dimmer Sounds become stiller And still in decline. Anticipation And great expectations Are now memories Sand castles of our time The fair and the sublime Melt Into the sea. Reality or dreams? Plans, hopes, and wild schemes Some never will be. Noise and confusion Or was it illusion? Now serenity. The plans that we de-signed Things we knew we’d find We now must set free. Anticipation And great expectations Are now memories Sand castles of our time The fair and the sublime Melt Into the sea. The road that we traveled Sometimes we dazzled Our energy spent. It’s soon over now We’re wondering how The time came and went. Anticipation And great expectations Are now memories Sand castles of our time The fair and the sublime Melt Into the sea.
