Carry Your Flag

We must have played
For more than ten years
We must have thought
That we're immortal
Shame, shame on us,
Ah little hussy,
What did you think i was
I look at us
We have grown older
A lot too much
For me to take
I thought
We were immortal
I'm so sorry
I couldn't keep my promise..
..to carry on your flag for you
Some superhero-being
It seems to me
That we are changing
There ain't no limit

Crossroads

[Originally by Robert Johnson]
I went to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
I went to the crossroads, fell down on my knees
Asked the Lord above, have mercy now, save poor Bob if you please
Standin' at the crossroads, tried to flag a ride
Whee-hee, I tried to flag a ride
Didn't nobody seem to know me, everybody pass me by
Standin' at the crossroads, risin' sun goin' down
Standin' at the crossroads baby, the risin' sun goin' down
I believe to my soul now, po' Bob is sinkin' down
You can run, you can run, tell my friend Willie Brown
You can run, you can run, tell my friend Willie Brown
That I got the crossroad blues this mornin', Lord, baby I'm sinkin' down
I went to the crossroad, mama, I looked east and west
I went to the crossroad, babe, I looked east and west
Lord, I didn't have no sweet woman, ooh well, babe, in my distress

The Chinese Nightingale

A Song in Chinese Tapestries

"How, how," he said. "Friend Chang," I said,
"San Francisco sleeps as the dead—
Ended license, lust and play:
Why do you iron the night away?
Your big clock speaks with a deadly sound,
With a tick and a wail till dawn comes round.
While the monster shadows glower and creep,
What can be better for man than sleep?"

"I will tell you a secret," Chang replied;
"My breast with vision is satisfied,
And I see green trees and fluttering wings,
And my deathless bird from Shanghai sings."
Then he lit five fire-crackers in a pan.
"Pop, pop," said the fire-crackers, "cra-cra-crack."
He lit a joss stick long and black.
Then the proud gray joss in the corner stirred;

U.S Blues (encore)

U.S. Blues (Grateful Dead)
Red and White, Blue Suede Shoes
I'm Uncle Sam, How do you do?
Give me five, I'm still alive.
Ain't no luck, I've learned to duck.
Check my pulse, it don't change.
Stays 72, come shine or rain.
Wave the flag, pop the bag.
Rock the boat, Skin the goat.
Chorus:
Wave that flag, wave it wide and high.
Summer time done, come and gone my oh my.
I'm Uncle Sam, that's who I am.
Been hiding out in a rock 'n roll band.
Shake the hand, that shook the hand
of P.T. Barnum, and Charlie Chan.
Shine your shoes, Light the fuse.
Can you use, them old U.S. Blues?
I'll drink your health, share your wealth.
Run your life, steal your wife.

Everywhere I Look

We always try to be so honest but were so serious
We have an understanding but that cant carry soul far enough
Green flag is rising and baby green means go
New world on the horizon
And who deserves the love more than you
More than me
Both of us
Cant you see
Everywhere I look I see people waking up
So why are we still sleeping
Everywhere I look I see people shaking off all the old ways
So why cant we follow through
What we believe has got to be more than the words of our friends
Honey I love the life but Id fight for our world not to end
Green flag is rising and baby green means go
Theres something on the horizon
And who deserves to know more than you
More than me
All of us
Cant you see

Finders Keepers

I kicked out of the surf
And stuck my board in the sand
And then up in my woody
To a hamburger stand
And when I got back
My nine five board was gone
She said yeah she said
(finders keepers)
Finders keepers
(losers weepers)
Losers weepers
(finders keepers)
Finders keepers
Finders keepers
Losers weepers
I saw a hodaddy
Paddlin out by the pier
Well he musta got my board
cause mine isnt here
But I know how to fix him

That's How I Like It

Where I come from it's grits and gravy
Not champagne caviar got a pick up truck ain't no Mercedes
That's who we are (I wouldn't change a thing)
I ain't no saint - somtimes a sinner
And I can't tell you why
But I get up every morning and thank the man above (ooh my life is good)
Like my women hot and my beer ice cold
A real fast car and my whiskey old
Like a slow drive down a long dirt road
That's how I like it
I like to turn my music way up loud
Ain't nothin better than the sound of a crowd
That American flag makes me proud
That's why I like it
That's why we like it, yeah
Ain't no cell phone towers
You won't catch me online
Workin' with my hands for hours
We got everything we need oooh
Like my women hot and my beer ice cold

Say Youre Sorry

Havent you ever felt this way before?
(with a perfect stranger? )
The look on her face, it just gives her away, she cant take any more
Hoist up your white flag, call for a truce
Try separation, we both stand to lose
She looks in your eyes as we say our goodbyes and she says
Say youre sorry
Say youre sorry (tell me, tell me)
Say youre sorry (right from the heart)
Say youre sorry
Say youre sorry
Think of the times when we couldnt wait to get home
(from the arms of danger)
Funniest part was the danger was right in our being home
You hoist up your white flag, you seem so amused
Living in riddles without giving clues
Looks in your eyes as you say your goodbytes and she says
Say youre sorry
Say youre sorry (tell me, tell me)
Say youre sorry (right from the heart)
