[Johnny Cash]
|
Hey Babe, do you remember,
|
Back in nineteen sixty-nine?
|
We gathered round the room.
|
You sang yours and I sang mine.
|
We took turns with the guitar,
|
In the front and center seat.
|
Shel and Kris and Dylan,
|
And a couple off the street.
|
Joni Mitchell cried on, "Both Sides Now."
|
We sang songs that made a difference.
|
And we can again somehow.
|
|
Everybody knew that this,
|
Was quite a special night.
|
[Willie Nelson]
|
Graham Nash was nervous,
|
In the hot seat, in the light.
|
[Kris Kristofferson]
|
Joe South was total magic,
|
And we all walked in his shoes.
|
[Waylon Jennings]
|
Orbison and Rabbitt cried,
|
And they rocked the country blues.
|
[Johnny Cash]
|
Mickey Newbury's, "San Francisco Mabel Joy."
|
We sang songs that made a difference.
|
June was pregnant with my boy.
|
|
[Waylon Jennings]
|
Oh, I could make a livin',
|
Drivin' nails or drivin' trucks.
|
Sleep beneath the bridge,
|
Or in the streets, down on my luck.
|
[Willie Nelson]
|
I'd stand the cold and hunger,
|
If they'd let me hear the songs.
|
Everybody write one,
|
That us bums can sing along.
|
[Kris Kristofferson]
|
Keep it from the heart and down to earth,
|
Sing the songs that make a difference.
|
Give us all our money's worth.
|
|
[Johnny Cash]
|
Hey, Keep it from the heart and down to earth.
|
Sing the songs that make a difference.
|
Give us all our money's worth.
