Grateful Dead

Live The Dream The last days of summer Before their out of reach We're going for a ride Time to hit the beach We'll do a little cookin' Maybe get a little fried And have a lot of fun Forget the world for a while Oh Friday come and set me free To live the dream We're cruisin' 101 Rollin at 55 I ain't in no hurry Just want to make it there alive The gals are in bikinis And sunshine sets the mood I go from feeling tiny To like a surfer in a tube (bridge) As the wave curls above You're the one I'm thinking of Together we can be so free To live the dream Here comes a tsunami A tidal wave of Love It's time to come together It's gonna be a flood The sun is going down The lights are coming up And all the world's a stage For filling empty cups Oh Friday come and set me free To live the dream

Drove the coolest coastPast ancient Redwoods Along a wild river Ended up in Wilderville Harmonized with the summer breezes on the Applegate Joined the dream team Slept on Panther Flat under a blazing sky full of stars,burning off the darkness Drove the lazy river road from Reedsport to Drain Watched barefoot Bobby make us smile Pissed him off taking too many pics of him and the dancing bear Sorry Senor A Hard Rain was so beautiful that soft tears flowed from my eyes The Dark Star shimmered with radiance The boys were being stellar and all hands contributed worthily to the stew Jerry stared back at me from the cover of the songbook A beautiful young woman named Sheila came up to my car to see if I would buy a sticker for a buck to help a childrens charity she supports She gave me a warm hug I gave her an agate too Her sticker says: "Yes!" What Your Inner Heart is Searching for Does Exist! Had the feeling I'm just a poor pathetic crippled lonsome loser Decided it's better than nothing, keep trying A certain song meant everything to me

Stay on the silly sideSilly side of the street You just have to watch Where you put your feet Stay on the silly side Silly side of the street It's no joke to Skip a beat If you lose track Of your funny bone The world don't look Too sweet So far from home Stay on the silly side Silly side of the street Let the serious ones Take all the heat Stay on the silly side Silly side of the street That's where all The people are Who you will Want to meet Stay on the funny side Live on the sunny side Stay on the silly side Silly side of the street There ain't no real reason To get stressed There never has been The first problem In heaven So stay on the silly side Walk on the sunny side Keep to the funny side Stay on the silly side Silly side of the street.

The Ballad of Poker Jim Poker Jim he said his prayers Then saddled up his horse They trotted down the Applegate Following it's course Over the hills to Jacksonville He checks in the Hotel With pocket-full of nuggets They always treat him well He sees Benny the barber And Tom the tailor too He comes out looking smarter Then heads for the saloon The doors went swinging open And Jim he rang the bell The women looked and whispered The men let out a yell Soon Jim's at the table Shuffling the deck He eyes the competition Their "tells" they will regret The cards are down and dirty Raises build the pot Jim is getting thirsty The day is getting hot chorus Poker Jim Needs jacks or better And aces to win They're callin' him He lays down his hand And rakes it all in Poker Jim The Spirits they whisper To you in the wind To go "all in" Just play what you're dealt And never give in Back out on the streets A rider rushes into town Someone robbed the Stage of gold And gunned the driver down A posse soon was forming The men were looking mean Charlie Buck was there Along with Cook and Green And when the Sheriff ordered They started in pursuit And tracked the desperate killers To a hideout in Red Buttes Poker Jim dismounted With rifle in his hand He knew where they were hiding This was their last hand And as the sun was setting The bells of justice rang The end had finally come For the Cameron brothers gang As Poker Jim rode off He waved his hat and smiled Take it easy boys I'll see you the next time! Poker Jim Needs jacks or better And aces to win They're callin' him He lays down his hand And rakes it all in Poker Jim The Spirits they whisper To you in the wind To go "all in" Just play what you're dealt And never give in Ratdog coming to Jacksonville Friday inspired me to write that one

Tunnel of Love by Bruce Springsteen Fat man sitting on a little stool Takes the money from my hand while his eyes take a walk all over you Hands me the ticket smiles and whispers good luck Cuddle up angel cuddle up my little dove We'll ride down baby into this tunnel of love I can feel the soft silk of your blouse And them soft thrills in our little fun house Then the lights go out and it's just the three of us You me and all that stuff we're so scared of Gotta ride down baby into this tunnel of love There's a crazy mirror showing us both in 5-D I'm laughing at you you're laughing at me There's a room of shadows that gets so dark brother It's easy for two people to lose each other in this tunnel of love it ought to be easy ought to be simple enough Man meets woman and they fall in love But the house is haunted and the ride gets rough And you've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above if you want to ride on down in through this tunnel of love Copyright © Bruce Springsteen (ASCAP)

Oh, when you hearThat whistle blow Over on the other Side of the hill Then you will know That I love you still And you will know That I always will When the whistle blows Its sad refrain It's only saying Did I ever know your name? Oh, when you hear That whistle blow Oh when you hear That whistle blow Oh, when you hear That whistle blow Over on the other Side of the hill Then you will know That I love you still And you will know That I always will Oh when you hear That whistle blow Oh when you hear That whistle blow. {Bluegrass runs in C--- for Stephanie]

Watching everyoneGo through the same thing Thinking that they are the only ones It might make it easier If we would just talk to each other Or wordlessly hug each other At least it would ease the pain Of endless cycles round the sun Did you know the way I told you I showed you It is all that I can do The rest is up to you To catch the mass trance lie And wake up to heaven In your lap purring On your lawn chirping In the trees singing You never even knew. You were full of dead lines After care and street signs Telling you where you can go I will start walking now The other way You are free to follow Or wallow In your worst fears You are not fooling anyone But you Everyone else is laughing As they try to keep you from Yourself Trying to punish every one But it just keeps on falling Up on you Pick your self up and let's Take a walk around the pond It won't take too long It won't take Too long. Watching everyone Go through the same thing Thinking that they are the only ones It might make it easier If you would just talk to each other Or pick a day and everybody Hug each other.

The light is always shiningThough one may feel The need to enter in It is ever on The light is always shining Bringing all to good Basking in the illumination Of understanding The whole human family Instantly healed In the rays emanating Ever present The light is always shining Waiting for us to get over our selves And join in the silent Party of smiles Heaven is ever ongoing All around and Inside you No need to miss out on Its panoramic view I am leaving the written word now To extemporize Reverse the illusion to Regain Truth Reverse the dream To awaken into the real Reverse hatred to know Love So not to miss out on Paradise in full bloom The harvest is ripe The thought is perfect All that is needed is a Slight flip of the focus An instant perspective change Rights the ship The light is always shining From its inexhaustible source I have used my last piece of paper To write these words But my thoughts never run dry We shall return to bathing in the rays That know no day or night The ocean of Love Envelopes you In its infinite healing certainty To activate the divine Home security system Surrender to Love Stand upright In the goodness of Soul And hold your ground Against the suggestion Of anything less Than Infinity..

Flower Children: The completed full-moon edition I went down to the General Store To see what's going down It's up above the rivers shore With mountains all around There's horseshoes and bar-b-ques And Blackberry pie And when she looked at me My oh my Underneath the Maple trees I took her hand To the swimming hole we walked Naked we swam Washing off the dusty day Feeling revived Looks like there's a full-moon on the rise Summer breezes blowing A wild river flowing You're like a flower Opening to light Summer breezes blowing A wild river flowing You're like a flower Opening to light Back up to the General Store To watch the band A knock-knocking on Heaven's door We dance upon the land And when the drummers Call down thunder You touch my lips Next thing I know We're lost in a kiss (Jam out) Afterwards we take a drive Up to the old Lookout Never feeling so alive With so little doubt Moonlight escapades Shooting stars all over the place One couple Face to face with love Summer breezes blowing A mountain meadow glowing You're like a flower Opening to light Summer breezes blowing A mountain meadow glowing You're like a flower Opening to life
