Here's a little song here that we recorded about 4 years ago. And'a, We put it in our latest album. I kind'a like it. It goes like this... Take the ribbon from your hair. Shake it loose, and let it fall. Lay it soft against my skin, Like the shadows on the wall. Oh come and lay down by my side, 'Till the early morning light. All I'm taking is your time. So help me make it through the night. I don't care what's right or wrong! I don't try to understand! Let the devil take tomorrow, 'Cause tonight I need a friend! Yesterday is dead and gone, And tomorrow's out of sight. It's so sad to be alone, So, help me make it through the night! It's so sad to be alone, So, help me make it through the night! I don't want to be alone. So, help me make it through the night!

Take the ribbon from your hair Shake it loose and let it fall Lay it soft against your skin Like the shadows on the wall Come, lay down by my side 'Til the early mornin' light All I'm askin' is your time Help me make it through the night

Take the ribbon from your hair, Shake it loose and let it fall, Layin' soft upon my skin. Like the shadows on the wall. Come and lay down by my side till the early morning light All I'm takin' is your time. Help me make it through the night. I don't care what's right or wrong, I don't try to understand. Let the devil take tomorrow. Lord, tonight I need a friend. Yesterday is dead and gone and tomorrow's out of sight. And it's sad to be alone. Help me make it through the night. I don't care what's right or wrong, (Yes, I do!) I don't try to understand. Let the devil take tomorrow. Lord, tonight I need a friend. Yesterday is dead and gone and tomorrow's out of sight. Lord, it's bad to be alone. Help me make it through the night.

Take the ribbon from my hair Shake it loose and let it fall Layin' soft upon your skin Like the shadows on the wall Come and lay down by my side Till the early mornin' light All I'm takin' is your time Help me make it through the night I don't care what's right or wrong I don't try to understand Let the devil take tomorrow 'Cause tonight I need a friend But yesterday is dead and gone And tomorrow's out of sight And it's sad to be alone Help me make it through the night I don't care what's right or wrong I don't try to understand Let the devil take tomorrow 'Cause tonight I need a friend 'Cause yesterday is dead and gone And tomorrow's out of sight And it's sad to be alone Help me make it through the night I don't wanna be alone Help me make it through the night

Maybe she was smilin' in the mirror Maybe I was too, 'cause I was stoned Singin' every sad song on the juke-box one more time Honey, they were hittin' close to home And I said - Maybe this'll make you think I'm crazy Honey, don't feel lonesome if you do But if you wanna make a young man happy one more time I'd sure like to spend the night with you Chorus: And she said - Stranger Shut out the light and lead me Somewhere - shut out the shadows, too And while we lay there, makin' believe you love me Stranger, could I believe in you Maybe you got all you got together Maybe you keep rollin' like a stone Maybe some old lonesome song'll take you by surprise And leave you just a little more alone Chorus: Singing - Stranger Shut out the light and lead me Somewhere - shut out the shadows, too And while we lay there, makin' believe you love me Stranger, could I believe in you Chorus: Keep Singing - Stranger Shut out the light and lead me Somewhere - shut out the shadows, too And while we lay there, makin' believe you love me Stranger, could I believe in you

He's a giver, he'll give her The kind of attention that she's never known He's a helper, he'll help her To open the doors that she can't on her own He's a lover, he'll love her In ways that she never has been loved before And he's a getter, he'll get her By gettin her into the world she's been hungerin' for 'Cause he's a taker, he'll take her To places and make her fly higher than she's ever dared to He'll take his time before takin' advantage Takin' her easy and slow And after he's taken the body and soul That she gives him, he'll take her for granted Then he'll take off and leave her Takin' all of her pride as he goes Yes, he's a taker, he'll take her ... He's a charmer, and he'll charm her With money and manners that I never learned He's a leader, and he'll lead her Across pretty bridges he's planning to burn He's a talker, he'll talk her Right off of her feet, but he won't talk for long Cause he's a doer, and he'll do her The way that I never And damned if he won't do her wrong 'Cause he's a taker, he'll take her To places and make her fly higher than she's ever dared to He'll take his time before takin' advantage Takin' her easy and slow And after he's taken the body and soul That she gives him, he'll take her for granted Then he'll take off and leave her Takin' all of her pride as he goes Yes, he's a taker, he'll take her ...

Billy Dee was seventeen when he turned twenty-one Fooling with some foolish things he could've left alone But he had to try to satisfy a thirst he couldn't name Driven towards the darkness by the devil in his veins All around the honky tonks, searching for a sign Gettin' by on gettin' high on women, words and wine Some folks called him crazy, Lord, and others called him free But we just called us lucky for the love of Billy Dee Busy goin' his own way and speakin' his own words Facin' and forgettin' every warnin' that he heard Makin' friends and takin' any crazy chance he could Gettin' busted for the bad times and believin' in the good Billy took a beatin' from a world he meant no harm The score was written in the scars up on his arm Some felt he was payin' for the life he tried to lead But all we felt was sorry for our good friend Billy Dee It may be his soul was bigger than a body's oughta be Singin' songs and bringin' laughter to the likes of you and me Cause the world he saw was sadder than the one he hoped to find But it wasn't near as lonesome as the one he left behind Yesterday they found him on the floor of his hotel Reachin' towards the needle, Lord, that drove him down to hell Some folks called it suicide, others blame the speed But we all called it crucified when Billy Dee O.D.'d

We really appreciate y'all bringing all that spirit out here This is like, this is, this is like our last walks for a while We've been on the, on the road since may, no, no, no I don't mean the last song, but I mean this is the last night We're gonna be working for a while We are, we are really going away with the night stays Because of you all and God bless you for that Here's an old song called "Casey's Last Ride" Casey joins the hollow sound of silent people walkin' down The stairway to the subway in the shadows down below Following their footsteps through the neon-darkened corridors Of silent desperation, never speakin' to a soul The poison air he's breathin' has the dirty smell of dyin' 'Cause it's never seen the sunshine, it's never felt the rain But Casey minds the arrows and ignores the fatal echoes Of the clickin' of the turnstiles and the rattle of his chains "Oh," she said, "Casey it's been so long since I've seen you" "Here," she said, "Just a kiss to make a body smile" "See," she said, "I've put on new stockings just to please ya" "Lord," she said, "Casey can you only stay a while?" Casey leaves the underground and stops inside the Golden Crown For something wet to wipe away the chill that's on his bone Seeing his reflection in the lives of all the lonely men Who reach for anything they can to keep from goin' home Standing in the corner, Casey drinks his pint of bitter Never glancing in the mirror at the people passin' by Then he stumbles as he's leavin' and he wonders if the reason Is the beer that's in his belly or the tear that's in his eye "Oh," she said, "I suppose you seldom think about me" "Now," she said, "Now that you've a family of your own" "Still," she said, "It's so blessed good to feel your body" "Lord," she said, "Casey, it's a shame to be alone" Thank you Thank you very much
