    I'm Tired
    (5:02)
    Youlden



    I'm tired of being a fool
    And my mind going from hot to cool
    And trying to conform to others ideas
    And someone else's rules

    The life I'm living ain't mine
    I'm supposed to feel that's fine
    I didn't make the world I'm living in
    And I ain't gonna toe the line

    I'm tired of trying to be something I know ain't me
    I'm tired of living up to what people expect me to be
    You know some people are different
    Now ain't that a crying shame
    Now wouldn't be a real drag if we were all the same

    And I'm not going to try to please
    Eyes that just don't see
    If I get myself together
    You'll have the blues not me

    I'm tired of trying to be something I know ain't me
    I'm tired of living up to what people expect me to be
    You know some people are different
    Now ain't that a crying shame
    Now wouldn't be a real drag if we were all the same

    And I'm not going to try to please
    Eyes that just don't see
    If I get myself together
    You'll have the blues not me

    You'll have the blues not me




    Hard Way To Go
    (2:20)
    Youlden



    Ain't got time for doubts or fears
    Ain't got time for shallow tears
    Ain't got time to bare my soul
    Because I still got a hard way to go

    Said that you got a losing hand
    Ain't no point in you raising sand
    Ain't got time to bare your soul
    Because I still got a hard way to go

    And it's a crying shame
    That you can't lay the blame
    On anybody else but yourself

    Wish that you had my sympathy
    You ain't got no hold on me
    And my heart is getting cold
    And I still got a hard way to go

    And it's a crying shame
    That you can't lay the blame
    On anybody else but yourself

    And I still got a hard way to go

    (3:40)
    Waters



    I want you to love me baby, and love your daddy slow,

    I want you to love me baby, 'til my lips turn cherry red,

    Leavin' Again
    (10:58)
    Stevens / Peverett


    I'm leavin' again, long way to go
    It's a sad sad feeling, we already know
    The ticket's bought and the contract's signed
    And it's too late to change my mind

    I'm leavin', help me pack my case
    I'll be a long time, in another place
    I'm working for something, and it ain't no lie
    It should have taken me, a lifetime to buy

    I'm leavin', when the night has gone
    So lets make love, while the rolls on
    And time rolls on to another day
    And this time tomorrow I'll be so far away
    I'm leavin', I'm leavin', goodbye baby,
    I'm going to move on down the line

    {Instrumental}

    I'm leavin' when the night has gone
    So lets make love while the time rolls on
    I'm leavin', oh I'm leaving
    I'm leavin', yes I'm leaving babe
    I'm going to move on down the line
    I'm going to move on down the line
    Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye baby
    I'm leaving you baby, goodbye baby
    Woo goodbye baby

    (Thank you very much, thank you)



    Money Can't Save Your Soul
    (4:00)
    Simmonds /
    Peverett


    Well you've got a new man
    And that's good for you
    And you got a lot of money
    But what good will that do
    When he leaves you on the side
    And the money falls away
    You'll come running back baby
    Believe what I say

    Money can't save your soul
    You better leave now
    While it's still ain't owed
    Money can't ease your mind
    Come back and leave it all behind

    {Instrumental}

    Well you've got a new man
    And that's good for you
    And you got a lot of money
    But what good will that do
    When he leaves you on the side
    And the money falls away
    You'll come, you'll come running back baby
    Believe what I say

    Money can't save your soul
    You better leave now
    While it's still ain't owed
    Money can't ease your mind
    Come back and leave it all behind

    Oh Oh Oh




    Looking From The Outside
    (3:19)
    Simmonds /
    Peverett


    Looking in from the outside
    I wish my mind could know the score
    Some day a door will open
    Then I'll see yes I'll know
    Just what I'm looking for

    And when I'm old and wiser
    And I look back on my youth
    Will I be contented or will I see
    Nothing but a vain search for the truth

    I wish I knew better baby
    My mind wouldn't be so sore
    Some day a door will open
    Then I'll see yes I'll know
    Just what I'm looking for yeah

    {Instrumental}

    I wish I knew better baby
    My mind wouldn't be so sore
    Some day a door will open
    Then I'll see yes I'll know
    Just what I'm looking for

    And when I'm old and wiser
    And I look back on my youth
    Will I be contented or will I see
    Nothing but a vain search for the truth
    Yeah
