Don't Expect A Reply
(Jeffrey Hatcher/Billy Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Billy
Whoa yeah
There ain't a ball and chain
That can tie me down
There ain't a jail been made
That can hold me now
I heard some fool say
He's got to be insane
Well it kind of looks that way
From a runaway train that's out of control
No matter what I do
No matter where I go
You can say goodbye
I won't be back again
But don't expect a reply
Not from a runaway train
Oh no they can't catch me
Because they move too slow
And they're new at this game
I started long ago
I tell you I was here
Before the track was laid
I was the first to ride
On that runaway train that's out of control
No matter what I do
No matter where I go
You can say goodbye
I won't be back again
But don't expect a reply
Not from a runaway train
I used to roll on through
When it was countryside
Then the cities they grew
Until they reached the sky
I'm going to hit the coast
Then roll right on through
Wish you could see the view
From that runaway train that's out of control
No matter what I do
No matter where I go
You can say goodbye
I won't be back again
But don't expect a reply
Not from a runaway train
From that runaway train that's out of control
No matter what I do
No matter where I go
You can say goodbye
I won't be back again
But don't expect a reply
Don't expect a reply
Don't expect a reply
No, no don't expect a reply

Lucky To Me
(Jeffrey Hatcher/Billy Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Billy and Jeffrey
Seems lucky to me
That you were hanging around
When I was so far down
It looked that way to me
So what else could it be
And it seems lucky to me
That you would find a need
And you would finally see
Something in me
When you find what you're never expecting
Then it's bound to be a surprise
When you give up feeling
That you're needing protection
The unexpected comes to open your eyes
And it seems lucky to me
That I was on the ground
When you were looking down
That's how you found me
Some of us will never take a second glance
For me it used to be that way
Then I would have told you that it came by chance
But that was yesterday now there's nothing left to say
Except it seems lucky to me
That you would come around
When I was coming down
And it seems lucky to me
But this is what I found
What always seems to be - to happen - accidentally
Is something that you always knew
So lucky to me
Seems so lucky to me
So lucky to me
Lucky to me

(Born To Be) Riding Only Down
(Jeffrey Hatcher)
Lead Singer: Jeffrey and Billy
Running out the front door down the steps into the road
Too wet, too cold but watch us playing anyway
Up the street an army's coming
Factory fathers coming home
I see all my tomorrows in their eyes
Well we were born to be riding only down
Ain't got no other way to get around
One day we'll spit on this old town
They'll hear thunder when our feet hit the ground
We live on smoke we live on dust we live on rain
Living in our own time still feels borrowed anyway
One day I'll see this big city over my shoulder one last time
I'll feel all my tomorrows in my feet
Well we were born to be riding only down
Ain't got no other way to get around
And one day we'll spit on this old town
They'll hear thunder when our feet hit the ground
Some knew their place some knew their time and I heard some sing
I recall nothing but I remember everything
One day I seen this old city over my shoulder one last time
I hold all my tomorrows in my hands
In my hands
Well we were born to be riding only down
Ain't got no other way to get around
And one day we'll spit on this old town
They'll hear thunder when our feet hit the ground
Well we were born to be riding only down
Ain't got no other way to get around
And one day we'll spit on this old town
They'll hear thunder when our feet hit the ground
They'll hear thunder when our feet hit the ground
They'll hear thunder (they'll hear thunder)
When our feet (when our feet) hit the ground

Time's Out Of Place
(Jeffrey Hatcher/Billy Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Billy and Jeffrey
Oh I know this memory well and the tricks it plays
Still I thought I saw you walk by yesterday
You could tell me that I'm going blind
But I could tell you even from behind
I'd still know your face
Feels like times out of place
Oh the fading vision and memory that are mine
Should I blame it all on the years that have gone by
If the truth could only be my friend
Then I could know what really happened then
But I find no trace
Must be my times out of place
And it's gone before you'll even know it
And it's gone before the circle's closed
And what's gone before your eyes
Still lies forever on that rolling river
Now if the truth could only be my friend
And I could know what really happened then
But I find no trace
Guess my times out of place
And it's gone before you'll even know it
And it's gone before the circle's closed
And what's gone before your eyes
Still lies forever on that rolling river
Oh I know this memory well and the tricks it plays
Still I thought I saw you walk by yesterday
If the truth could only be my friend
Then I could finally know what I knew then
Maybe I could face
That my times out of place
Maybe I could face
That my times out of place

Let The Cowboy Ride
(Jeffrey Hatcher)
Lead Singer: Jeffrey
Let us all go on
See us all get along
Let the young girls ride
See them hanging on
Open up this land
Get us on our way
To a new world we'll ride
Into another day
We don't have to get old
Til we finally know
What does and don't matter anyhow
Like the ghosts of who loved you
Who did what to who
Nobody loves you like I do
Oh now who who loves you
Who did what to who
No one loves you like I do
Let them all go on
See them all get along
Let the cowboys ride
See them hanging on
Well some got caught
And some were hung
Let the cowboys ride
Hear them sing their song
They don't have to get old
Till they finally know
What does and don't matter anyhow
Like the ghosts of who loved you
Who did what to who
Nobody loves you like I do
Oh now who who love you
Who did what to who
No one loves you like I do
No one loves you like I do
I said, no one loves you like I do
Let the cowboys ride (Let the cowboys ride)
Let the cowboys ride (Let the cowboys ride)

I Know
(Jeffrey Hatcher/Billy Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Jeffrey and Billy
I know that what you tell me I should know
But then you're telling me Oh no you don't listen
You're missing something you don't know
But do you know that how we're feeling just won't show
Unless we're saying it straight to one another
No other way will see this love grow
If we're going to go
As far as we can go
Whatever we don't know
The more we talk it out yeah the more
We learn about what we should know
Cause I don't know all that you know
And then there's something that
I can' tell you honey
But only if you listen to me
But do you know that how we're feeling
Just won't show
Unless we're saying it straight to one another
No other way will see this love grow
Then I'll know cause I don't know all that you know
I'll tell you something that I can show you honey
But only if you listen to me.
Just listen to me
Only if you listen to me.

Maybe In Time
(Jeffrey Hatcher/Dave Briggs)
Lead Singer: Billy and Jeffrey
I've got a story here
From the far west country
But it's not at all, just a western tale
About a young girl, she want to climb high mountains
Her momma said I tried once
Now listen don't you fail
I wanted so much because I had nothing
I knew I'd be back maybe in time
Well she left one day
From her momma's table
With a note that said
She wouldn't be home soon
Got a job on the coast
In the biggest town there
Wrote again and said
Now momma you come too
I want so much because I got nothing
I might be back maybe in time
And I got a wall here
For everyone of your pictures
I got somebody here
Just right for you
Momma came one day in the morning
And settled right in before the week was done
Daughter said, I'll be moving along now
I'll write and I know that you both will do
I wanted so much to give you something
I might be back maybe in time
I wanted so much to give you something
I might be back maybe in time
Maybe in time
Maybe in time
Maybe in time
Maybe in time

Tell Me
(Jeffrey Hatcher/Billy Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Billy and Jeffrey
Tell me
I need to hear it clearly
I need to hear it now
And hear it all from you
If you'd let me
I'd help you to forget
What's hurting
So won't you tell me now
Then show me so I can understand you
Oh we could act like nothing's wrong
But we've done that all before
It would help me
If you could show me now
So please tell me
Or let me know somehow
Old lovers now in the past remain
I can't remember them now
If there's something you can't let go
If it's so
Let me know, So I
Could help you
Forget what's happened to you
We'll let those memories fade away
And start on something new
So please tell me
Just what won't let you go
Because I'll only know
If you tell me so

Why Oh Why
(Jeffrey Hatcher/Billy Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Jeffrey and Billy
Why on why
Don't you come and see me when I cry
Oh I know you
I bet you miss me when you're crying too
Whenever you see me all of my crying's done
Now why don't you know
You're the one that I need to see
Before the tears are gone
I had a few today
Ah but you should have seen the ones that got away
Why oh why
Don't you come and see me when I cry
Oh I know you
I bet you miss me when you're crying too
I wish that I could stop
Not cry anymore
When you don't even know
What it's for
I try and try
But there's so much more
That you never see
Ah is my crying keeping you away from me
Whenever you see me
All of my crying's done
Why don't you know
You're the one that I need to see
Before the tears are gone
I had a few today
Ah but you should have seen the ones that got away
Why oh Why
Don't you come and see me when I cry
Oh I know you
I bet you miss me when you're crying too
Why oh why
Why oh why
Why oh why
Somebody tell me
Somebody tell me
Why oh why
Why oh why oh why

The Trouble With Trouble
(Jeffrey Hatcher/Billy Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Jeffrey and Billy
Just leave them
Leave them with only their tears to cry
I wonder why you found the time to
Give away when you need so much for yourself
Oh you might think you've got it rough
But it won't be you deciding when you've had enough
Oh that's the trouble with trouble
Wave goodbye goodbye cause all of it can't be saved anyway
Not from itself no and not from
Any other thing that you could ever do
Oh they're never going to get enough
It's all of you they want it's all they're thinking of
And that's the trouble with trouble
Yeah that's the trouble with trouble
Just leave them
Leave them with only their tears to cry
I wonder why you found the time to
Give away when you need so much for yourself
Oh you might think you've got it rough
But it won't be you deciding when you've had enough
And that's the trouble with trouble
Yeah that's the trouble with trouble
Yeah that's the trouble (that's the trouble)
Yeah that's the trouble (that's the trouble)
Yeah that's the trouble (that's the trouble)
Yeah that's the trouble (that's the trouble)

Look At It Rain
(Jeffrey Hatcher/Billy Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Billy and Jeffrey
Won't you look at it
Won't you look at it rain
Won't you look at it
Won't you look at it rain
Won't you look at it
Won't you look at it rain
You sent me running
Running for cover
For shelter inside
I got to tell you
Oh I was praying
For somewhere to hide
I didn't see it coming
But I should have known
It's happened before
Now it's happened again
I could have sworn it was miles away
Oh won't you look at it rain
Is it high water
Down at the levee
Is it flooding the plain
When I'm not looking
That's just when it happens
Again and again
And I'm so alone here
So far from anyone
Someone who might know
And could help me explain
And I got no one else to blame
Oh won't you look at it rain
Can't you hear the thunder rolling around and around and around
Can't you see the lightening hit the ground
Can't you see the lightening hit the ground
Can't you see the lightening hit the ground
You send me running
Running for cover
For shelter inside
I got to tell you
Oh, I was praying
For somewhere to hide
When waters are rising
And wind is howling
That's how I should know
That it's coming again
And I got no one else to blame
I could have sworn it was miles away
Why won't it was away this pain
Won't you look at it rain
Look at it rain
Won't you look at
Won't you look at it rain
Won't you look at
Won't you look at it rain
Won't you look at
Won't you look at it rain
Won't you look at
Won't you look at it rain

Field Of Gold
(Don Hatcher)
Lead Singer: Billy and Jeffrey
Would you walk with me in this field of gold
Your travels are done for awhile
The road is long and your mind much too tired
Come rest your boot heels awhile
Don't lay your head upon that pillow of stone
Would you run with me in this field of gold
And put our weary minds to bed
The morning will come and you'll soon be on your way
With the sun shining over your heard
Don't lay your head upon that pillow of stone
There's no need now to do it all on your own
Don't lay your head upon that pillow of stone
Would you stay with me in this field of gold
And let your weary soul remain
If you'll but stay with me in this field of gold
Your heart will beat stronger again
Don't lay your head upon that pillow of stone
There's no need now to do it all on your own
Would you stay with me
Would you stay with me
