Walk Tall
(Barry Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Barry

Walk tall, don't look back
Just pass on by,
There's no telling, what you do, once you start it
One of the dear departed, one of the jewel-hearted

Walk Tall, rock this world
Be making a change, why sit and twirl
Drag along some big ideas
You're on your way, to make some space

Don't you worry about what's up next
You took the road, now leave.
Just think about, think about your agenda
Cuz there ain't no time to stop it now

Walk Tall, ride high noon
Grab your horse, I knew you could
Then again I guess you knew
It had to be you yeah we like it too.

Well, the carnival's coming your way
Craziness all the time.
Here comes your bivouac on a stick
But I know you're ready, in your prime.

Walk Tall, it's your turn
Break on through, you'll never burn.
Takin' that track, you welcome back.
Baby you know you're comin'
Baby you hear that drum

Way out west was just like you
'Cept different guns were waved
Now the west is tame, but they want it wild
Got to bring you back,
Yeah we like your style.

That's right

Walk Tall, ride high noon
Grab your horse, say giddy-up go.
Take your course, and check it out.
For second round, making the world go high.

Ahhhh yeah

Just Walk Tall

Chain You Down
(Barry Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Barry

I don't want to Chain You Down, girl,
I don't want to see you blue.
All I want to do is love you,
Tell me what I should do.
Tell me what I got to do.

I don't want to see you sad, girl,
I don't want to make you cry.
All I want to do is see that you
Never let a true love die.
Never let a true love die.

I was so unkind,
Love can be so cruel.
You don't realize,
All I want is you.

But I don't want to cheat your love, babe,
I don't want to sell you lies
All I want to do is hold you
Oh and all I'm bound to try.
Baby I'm bound to try, yeah.

I was so unkind,
And you thought I knew.
Now I know you're blind,
All I want is you.

But I don't want to chain you down, girl,
I don't want to see you blue.
All I want to do is love you,
Tell me what I should do.
Tell me what I got to do.

I don't want to chain you down, girl,
I don't want to chain you down, no,
I don't want to chain you down.

Goin' Home
(Barry Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Barry

As he rode down the road away
Lookin' at the freeway signs
You know there's a loving cup
Waiting at the end of the line.

Going Home
Going Home

Your mind's been an empty space
Lonely winds blowing through
And your head cries for company
But you know it's coming soon

Going Home
Going Home

Yeah you're going to see your lover
Yeah you're going to see your wife
No there ain't much to ponder
Yeah you're going to live your life.

As the sun sets, another day
Movin' as the planet spins
Inside you've been waitin for
All the thing to begin.

Going Home
Going Home

Going Home

Yeah you're going to see your lover
Yeah you're going to see your wife
No there ain't much to ponder
Yeah you're going to live your life.

Like a boat sailing on the sea
Waiting for the wave to come
That old land on familiar shores
Damn the fun's just begun

Going Home
Going Home
Going Home
Going Home
Going Home, There's your lover
Going Home, There's your dog
Going Home, Ain't it a wonder
Going Home, Walk your lot

Jungle Lady
(Barry Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Barry

Rrrrrriiiiiii
Rrrrrriiiiiii

Out of London oceanliner, Euporean
Goin' on a Halley's Comet sea cruise
Down the ocean to the bluer Caribbean
There she stood on the deck with her booze

Yeah she was looking at the sky about midnight
Thinkin' about the blues she left behind.
Across the sky a flash of light started soaring
Then at once a light flashed in her mind.

She could see herself living on an island
Eating kingfish and papaya every day
She could see herself lying on the seashore
Taking in the sun, "f***in' off for fun

Now she's a jungle lady living on that island
She bid the rest of her world a sweet adieu
Now she's a jungle lady got no need for trying
To live the life, the life that she choose

Yeah you can see her daily swinging on the treetop
Or hear her swimming on an ocean wave.
And when she's lookin' for a little bit of action
Yeah she got her cave, well she got her slave.

Rrrrrriiiiiii
Rrrrrriiiiiii

Rap bo a do do
Rap bo a do do
Rap bo a do do
Rap bo a do do
Rap bo a do do
Rap bo a do do

One day there was a ship that seemed to spot her
They sent a rescue boat up to her shore
One hour passed, they had to send another
To find what happened to the one before.

Well one more hour passed, the captain got suspicious
He took the other boat to see what's up
But when he reached the shores of Jungle Lady Island
Twenty men were passed out or all shook up.

Well as they put the last man on the life boat
Turned around and headed back to the ship
The captain shouted "What the hell was going on there?"
Here the bravest man moved his lips

He said "It was a jungle lady living on that island.
Yeah she took us on one by one
All I was trying to do was just trying to help her
She wouldn't let us know, she didn't want to go."

Now she's a jungle lady, swimmin'
Yeah she's a jungle lady, swingin'
Now she's a jungle lady, singin'

Rap bo a do do
Rap bo a do do
Rap bo a do do
Rap bo a do do
Rap bo a do do
Rap bo a do do

Rrrrrriiiiiii
Rrrrrriiiiiii

Kid
(Barry Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Barry

I've been lookin for some time,
For someone to talk to and pass the time.
Kid can you tell me where it's bound,
When love is the dyest word in town.
And a friend's just a legend that can't be found.

Not long ago I had someone.
We'd fight like lions, but we'd have fun.
Now she's been takin' far away,
But loves sweet poison is here to stay.
It's deep down in me and it's here to stay.

I thought that I could live forever,
On this planet we call our own.
But who wants to live forever,
When there nobody here who knows,
What love is anymore.

So I walked on further through the haze.
For a walk towards better distant days.
Kid can you tell me where it's bound,
When love is the dyest word in town.
And a friend's just a legend that can't be found.

Well love is a game you always play,
With the people you hardly know.
Well ain't that the way a man gets,
When people don't show no more.
And no one knocks on your door.

Well the deep dark allies pave the way,
For a walk through desolate distant days
Kid can you tell me where it's bound,
When love is the dyest word in town.
And a friend's just a legend that can't be found.

(Barry Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Barry

Well I was fishin' for a feel the other night
And I could tell that something was not right
When I tried to hold her, she just got uptight

She got a little bit of lovin'
She got a lot mo' soul
She got a little bit of lovin'
Whoa she got a long way to go.

Well I called her up to go out for the day
We took a drive to somewhere we might play
Now the ball's in her court, she just rolls away

She got a little bit of lovin'
She got a lot mo' soul
She got a little bit of lovin'
Whoa she got a long way to go.

She got eyes that go
Square down to her soul
But she won't let it show.

Well as she goes to touch my hand some way
To somehow say, "I'll see you soon some day."
Well I just shake my head and walk away.

Yeah, she got a little bit of lovin'
She got a lot mo' soul
She got a little bit of lovin'
Whoa she got a long way to go.

Ol' Bombay
(Barry Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Barry

Paintin' your dreams in the sunset
Lookin' for the chance to play.
Watchin' the moon in the river,
Livin' in old Bombay.
Livin' in old Bombay.
Will I know true love when I found it now,
Livin' in old Bombay.

Washin' your wing on the shoreline,
Singin' as the treetops sway.
Cashing your chips for a livin'
Livin' in old Bombay.
Livin' in old Bombay.
Said I know true love when I found now
Livin' in old Bombay

I had plans to burn
And I need to learn
And I think a lot, and it's all I do
So I'm livin' in old Bombay.
Livin' in old Bombay.

Crossing your touch on your true love,
Watching as your fingers play
Hearing the birdy go singin'
Livin' in old Bombay
Livin' in old Bombay,

Well I hope you ya'll for me
'Cause I'm living in old Bombay.
Not far
Livin' in old Bombay.

Pickin' a spot to lay on,
Swingin' on that old tree vine.
Feelin the sway of the east breeze,
And you're livin' on time.
You got the love I want bad,
I'd chase you anywhere.
Chasing you all over until,
Oh baby I find you in old Bombay.
Find you in old Bombay.

Say we're loving across in the moonlight,
Livin' in old Bombay.
Yeah we're loving across in the moonlight,
Livin' in old Bombay.
Livin' in old Bombay.
Hey, hey, livin' in old Bombay.

Take me home.

River Of Love
(Barry Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Barry

Ladies and gentlemen
From Ackron, Ohio
Yewza, Yewza, Yewza

She had to leave me,
Said she had some place to go. I knew her heart was searchin' for it's home.
So what's to do when you let go of flying falcons,
'Cept to watch them disappear till they're are no more.

But as she flew, well I called out.
And I knew she heard her lover shout,
'Cause she tipped her wings before the fade.

Though the sun may set yet another day,
I'll be there for the rising one.
And maybe it's true that you're goin' away,
But I'll be waitin' by the River of Love.
I'll be waitin' by the River of Love.

The heart's a funny thing,
Sometimes it never shakes.
What happen to the friend that went before?

And it may ponder, it may wonder till it finds
Love's secret phone to call
Upon that soul.

And just sometimes, you never know,
You may be dreamin' but you feel it grow,
And you hope one day it will return.

Though the sun may set yet another day,
I'll be there for the rising one.
And maybe it's true that you're gone away,
But I'll be waitin' by the River of Love.
I'll be waitin' by the River of Love.

Another day goes rolling through my heart,
As if it was another empty cup.
And I've been walking through these fields that I've have known before.
But I never give up till I see you again,
Babe I'll never give up at all.

So I take my precious time that I hang around.
And I'll count the beats of my heart one by one.
And even if it's just some silly game I'm playin'.
Deep down I'll know it isn't just for fun.

'Cuz where's a will, well there's a way,
And if I have to kneel and pray.
Then I'll kneel here and pray away.

Though the sun may set yet another day,
I'll be there for the rising one.
And maybe it's true that you're goin' away
But I'll be waitin' by the River of Love.
I'll be waitin' by the River of Love.
I'll be waitin' by the River of Love.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, whoooooo

One Day
(Barry Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Barry

Some day, some way
One day we're going to see it all through
Baby someday, one day
Someway we're going to see it come true.

Now the world she's still sufferin'
But every day she's getting better
Still there's some who don't see it that way.
They got their fingers in the jam every day.

Well baby some day, one day
Some way we'll take the jam from the shelves.
And baby some day, some way
One day we'll make them see for themselves.

In the world of politicians
Where the big wheels are spinning around
Therein lies only one evil
It's called corruption and the thieves they abound.

Well baby one day, some way
Some day we'll take him out of the wheel
And baby one day, some day
One way we're going to have a new deal.

I want to see it now somebody move
Just don't be sittin' there stuck in your groove
I know what you're saying, it's all just a crock
But if we start it now the cradle may rock.

What we're talking here is balance
On this planet that we call our home.
On one side we've got starvation
But all around us they just throw them a bone.

Well baby one day, some way
Some day we're going to see that they're fed
Baby one day, some day
Some way we're going to bury their dead.

Baby some day, some way
One day.

Anthem
(Barry Cowsill)
Lead Singer: Barry

There'a song in all you feel, rollin' on the wind.
Givin' off a light,
Light enough to blind your eyes.
It's been around so long before us,
That don't mean we ain't a part.
It ain't the kind that got a chorus
It's just a song inside our hearts.

Say what? It's your Anthem.
Yeah if we can pin it down to only just one sound.
Yeah it's your anthem.

Every corner on this old earth
Takin' a death and givin' a birth
Might leave a legesy we all could work
That notes might ring forever
With an Anthem.

Ten Four

'Cause I may say, there's got to be a way
Everything, all the time
And you believe truth then you got no fear
Everybody, everbody got to same idea
It's an Anthem
Living for a song
Come on babe come on babe
Sittin on your tongue
It's an Anthem.

Yeah you've been livin' alone on the street.
Got to beg for your meat, for a ransom.
Been drivin' in your Bently,
Spenting money gently,
Man, sum is handsome.
No matter if you are a stranger,
No matter how you came to be,
No matter what you got to show for,
The song is here in you and me.
Yeah it's singin' through the trees, it's born in every breeze,
It's an Anthem.

Well the sky is singin' out
Oh the head is goin' to shout
With an Anthem.
Hey no sweat about it all,
We only be on this planet for so long.
We all got them same ideas
Them ol' same songs
And you know we're goin' do it babe,
We come so long we're an Anthem.

Da world
Yeah let me tell you you're an Anthem, uh huh
And the stars singin' out
Well hell is going to shout, yeah with an anthem.
See it's singin' through the trees, it's born in every breeze, Yeah, it's an Anthem, an anthem.
