Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is? Composer(s): Robert Lamm Performer(s): Chicago Transit Authority
As I was walking down the street one day A man came up to me and asked me what the time was that was on my watch, yeah And I said Does anybody really know what time it is I don't Does anybody really care care If so I can't imagine why about time We've all got time enough to cry Oh no, no
And I was walking down the street one day A pretty lady looked at me and said her diamond watch had stopped cold dead And I said Does anybody really know what time it is I don't Does anybody really care care If so I can't imagine why about time We've all got time enough to cry Oh no, no
And I was walking down the street one day Being pushed and shoved by people trying to beat the clock, oh, so I just don't know I just don't know And I said, yes I said
People runnin' everywhere Don't know the way to go Don't know where I am Can't see past the next step Don't have to think past the last mile Have no time to look around Just run around, run around and think why
Does anybody really know what time it is I don't Does anybody really care care If so I can't imagine why about time We've all got time enough to die Oh no, no
You Might Think Composer(s): Ric Ocasek Performer(s): The Cars; AC-Rock; Dark One Lite; Fon; The New Cars
You might think I'm crazy To hang around with you Maybe you think I'm lucky To have something to do But I think that you're wild And inside me is some child
Chorus You might think it's foolish Or maybe it's untrue You might think I'm crazy But all I want is you
You might think it's hysterical But I know when you're weak You think you're in the movies And everything's so deep But I think that you're wild When you flash that fragile smile
Chorus
And it's hard so hard to take There's no escape without a scrape You kept it going till the sun fell down You kept it going
You might think I'm delirious The way I run you down But somewhere sometime When you're curious I'll be back around And I think that you're wild And so uniquely styled
Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind Composer(s): Sanger D. Shafer - Darlene Shafer Performer(s): Moe Bandy and multiple other artists
Cold Fort Worth beer just ain't no good for jealous I try it night after night You're in someone else's arms in Dallas Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind
Darling while you're busy burning bridges Burn one for me if you get time Good memories don't fade so easy Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind
You left me here to be with him in Dallas And I know it hurt you at the time I wonder now if it makes a difference Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind Does Fort Worth ever cross your mind
You Mean So Much To Me Composer(s): Bruce Springsteen Performer(s): Southside Johnny & the Asbury Jukes
Well, she comes to me like a childhood soul Or an old time friend I ain't seen so long When she sings to me, it's like a loving song She can be so sweet, she don't do me no wrong
You mean so much to me, baby You know you drive me crazy You mean so much to me, baby I want you for my girl
Well, sometimes she's like a baby playing with a toy Then she's so much woman she makes me feel like a little boy And when she comes to me, and she's all alone And she cries: Oh daddy, oh Daddy make me strong!
That's when she means so much to me baby You know you drive me crazy You mean so much to me, baby I want you for my girl

You May Be Right Composer(s): Billy Joel Performer(s): Billy Joel
Friday night I crashed your party Saturday I said I'm sorry Sunday came and trashed me out again I was only having fun Wasn't hurting any one And we all enjoyed the weekend for a change
I've been stranded in the combat zone I walked through Bedford Stuy alone Even rode my motorcycle in the rain And you told me not to drive But I made it home alone So you said that only proves that I'm insane
You may be right I may be crazy But it just may be a lunatic your looking for Turn out the light Don't try to save me You may be wrong for all I know But you may be right
Remember how I found you there Alone in your electric chair I told you dirty jokes until you smiled You were lonely for a man I said take me as I am Cause you might enjoy some madness for a while
Now think of all the years you tried to Find someone to satisfy you I might be as crazy as you say If i'm crazy then it's true That it's all because of you And you wouldn"t want me any other way
You may be right I may be crazy But it just may be a lunatic your looking for It's too late to fight It's too late to change me You may be wrong for all I know But you may be right
You may be right I may be crazy But it just may be a lunatic your looking for Turn out the light Don't try to save me You may be wrong for all I know But you may be right You may be wrong but you may be right You may be wrong but you may be right

Carolina I Hear You Calling Composer(s): Tom Crain - Charlie Daniels - Joel "Taz" DiGregorio - Fred Edwards - Charlie Hayward - Charlie Marshall Performer(s): The Charlie Daniels Band
When it's Christmas time in Carolina The kinfolks gather up at Grandma's house And they fill the house with love And they honor God above They remember what the season's all about
It's been ten long years since I've been there with them And I can't face another holiday alone And tonight I'm going back And if this train don't jump the track I'll spend Christmas Eve with all the folks at home
Carolina I hear you calling I just have to close my eyes and I'll be there Carolina I hear you calling I can almost touch the mountains in your hair
When I left my home in Carolina I never thought that things would get this far I was only seventeen when I struck out for New Orleans Trying to do or die on my guitar Well I always thought someday I'd be returning But I kept drifting with that same old traveling wind Can I still call you home or have I stayed away too long Carolina would you have me back again
Carolina I hear you calling I just have to close my eyes and I'll be there Carolina I hear you calling I can almost touch the mountains in your hair
(Carolina) Carolina I hear you calling I just have to close my eyes and I'll be there Carolina I hear you calling I can almost touch the mountains in your hair I can almost touch the mountains in your hair

Sun Cycle Composer(s): Dickie Peterson - Leigh Stephens - Peter Wagner Performer(s): Blue Cheer; Bad Vibes
The lady folded Her silver hair Behind her back With the strings of a veil
And cut me a pack Of a famous sword Sharp to East Her magnitude That made the table In an infinite tangle
And then the darkness came And wrapped on velvet feet And here through the window I saw a quickening eye
Reflecting time In the blowing night And pulled the shade To a clear green game And from the visions Riding heavy sea
And from the visions Riding heavy sea That cast the ships Into a sink as man And burn the ringing Don't wanna carry inside
Then the morning came Lapping up the winds From the tainted table That was serving time It's silver spoon That was breathing stars Images flown Like the birds of high Wings in the sun What a blessed sight
You Make Me Feel So Young Composer(s): Mack Gordon; Josef Myrow Performer(s): Frank Sinatra; and various other artists
You make me feel so young You make me feel as though spring has sprung And every time I see you grin I'm such a happy in-div-dual
The moment that you speak I wanna go play hide and seek I wanna go and bounce the moon Just like a toy ballon
You and I are just like a couple of tots Runnin' across the meadow Pickin' up lots of forget me nots
You make me feel so young You make me feel there are songs to be sung Bells to be rung And a wonderful spring to be sprung And even when I'm old and grey I'm gonna feel the way I do today 'Cos you make me feel so young
Sun Come Up Composer(s): Jim Croce - Richard Croce Performer(s): Jim Croce
Sun come up in the morning Blues round my head I've got a troubled mind and plenty of time to roam As I walk this crooked highway Never knowin' where to go You know the only life I know is bein' on the road
I've got holes in my shoes that I fill with paper When the sun's out they dry And when it rains well they get wet but I don't cry
Because the sun don't know no difference Between a rich man and a bum And the only life I know is movin' round the sky
See him grin down at you people I guess you don't know what his laughter's from But if you spend enough time on the road Maybe you'd find out Because the sun goes round in an endless circle Never knowin' the reason why Still there's something in the path that it traces round the sky It's like a circle with no ending But it's a race we all must run And it's the same bein' a rich man or a bum
