Ramblin' Gamblin' Man (1969)

 * Cause I was born lonely down by the riverside Learned to spin fortune wheels, and throw dice And I was just thirteen when I had to leave home Knew I couldn't stick around, I had to roam Ain't good looking, but you know I ain't shy Ain't afraid to look it girl, hear me out So if you need some lovin, and you need it right away Take a little time out, and maybe I'll stay.
 * Ramblin' Gamblin' Man.


 * All I know is that I'm young and your rules they are old If I've got to kill to live then there's something left untold I'm no statesman I'm no general. I'm no kid I'll never be It's the rules not the soldier that I find the real enemy.
 * 2 + 2 = ?.

Mongrel (1969)

 * Cruisin on the grey snakes till my dyin day Checkin all the hen houses out along the way Wastin time and drinkin wine Life is short and I ain't lyin Livin all I can through every day.
 * Lucifer

Back in '72 (1973)

 * On a long, lonesome highway east of Omaha You can listen to the engine moanin' out its one-note song. You can think about the woman or the girl you knew the night before. But your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do, When you're ridin' sixteen hours and there's nothin' much to do. And you don't feel much like ridin', you just wish the trip was through.
 * Turn the Page.


 * So here I am. On the road again. There I am, Up on the stage. And here I go, Playin' the star again. There I go, Turn the page.
 * Turn the Page.


 * Out there in the spotlight you're a million miles away. Every ounce of energy you try to give away. As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play. Later in the evening, as you lie awake in bed. With the echoes from the amplifiers ringin' in your head. You smoke the day's last cigarette, rememberin' what she said.
 * Turn the Page.

Beautiful Loser (1975)

 * He wants to dream like a young man With the wisdom of an old man. He wants his home and security, He wants to live like a sailor at sea. Beautiful loser, where you gonna fall? You realize you just can't have it all.
 * Beautiful Loser.


 * That's why I'm going to Katmandu, Up to the mountains where I'm going to. If I ever get out of here, That's what I'm gonna do.
 * Katmandu.

Night Moves (1976)

 * So you're a little bit older and a lot less bolder Than you used to be. So you used to shake 'em down, But now you stop and think about your dignity. So now sweet sixteen's turned thirty-one, You get to feelin' weary when the work days done. Well all you got to do is get up and into your kicks. If you're in a fix. Come back baby, Rock and roll never forgets.
 * Rock and Roll Never Forgets.


 * Out past the cornfields where the woods got heavy, Out in the back seat of my '60 Chevy. Workin' on mysteries without any clues, Workin' on our night moves. Tryin' to make some front page drive-in news, Workin' on our night moves.
 * Night Moves.


 * I woke last night to the sound of thunder, "How far off," I sat and wondered. Started hummin' a song from 1962. Ain't it funny how the night moves, When you just don't seem to have as much to lose. Strange how the night moves, with autumn closin' in.
 * Night Moves.


 * Here comes old Rosie she's looking mighty fine Here comes hot Nancy she's steppin' right on time There go the street lights bringin on the night Here come the men faces hidden from the light All through the shadows they come and they go With only one thing in common They got the fire down below.
 * The Fire Down Below.


 * In the pool halls, the hustlers and the losers I used to watch 'em through the glass. Well I'd stand outside at closing time Just to watch her walk on past. Unlike all the other ladies, she looked so young and sweet. As she made her way alone down that empty street. Down on Mainstreet.
 * Mainstreet.

Stranger in Town (1978)

 * She stood there bright as the sun on that California coast. He was a Midwestern boy on his own. She looked at him with those soft eyes, so innocent and blue. He knew right then he was too far from home. He was too far from home.
 * Hollywood Nights.


 * You always said the cards would never do you wrong. The trick you said was never play the game too long. A gambler's share. The only risk that you would take. The only loss you could forsake The only bluff you couldn't fake.
 * Still the Same.


 * I know it's late, I know you're weary I know your plans don't include me Still here we are, both of us lonely Longing for shelter from all that we see Why should we worry, no one will care girl Look at the stars so far away We've got tonight, who needs tomorrow? We've got tonight babe, Why don't you stay?
 * We've Got Tonight.

Against the Wind (1980)

 * Some people say that love's a losin' game. You start with fire but you lose the flame. The ashes smolder but the warmth's soon gone. You end up cold and lonely on your own. I'll take my chances babe, I'll risk it all. I'll win your love or I'll take the fall. I've made my mind up girl it's meant to be. Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me. Someday lady you'll accomp'ny me.
 * You'll Accomp'ny Me.


 * And I remember what she said to me How she swore that it never would end I remember how she held me oh so tight Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then.
 * Against the Wind.


 * Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time Breaking all of the rules that would bend I began to find myself searchin' Searching for shelter again and again. Against the wind A little something against the wind I found myself seeking shelter Against the wind.
 * Against the Wind.


 * Who wants to brave those bronze beauties Lying in the sun. With their long soft hair falling Flying as they run. Oh they smile so shy And they flirt so well And they lay you down so fast Till you look straight up and say Oh lord, am I really here at last?
 * Fire Lake.

The Distance (1982)

 * Roll, roll me away, Won't you roll me away tonight? I too am lost, I feel double-crossed. And I'm sick of what's wrong and what's right. We never even said a word, We just walked out and got on that bike. And we rolled. And we rolled clean out of sight.
 * Roll Me Away

Like a Rock (1986)

 * My hands were steady, My eyes were clear and bright. My walk had purpose, My steps were quick and light. And I held firm to what I felt was right. Like a rock.
 * Like a Rock.


 * And I stood arrow straight Unencumbered by the weight Of all these hustlers and their schemes. I stood proud, I stood tall High above it all. I still believed in my dreams.
 * Like a Rock.
