1.1 - Get Out Of Denver

I still remember it was autumn and the moon was shining
Our 60 Cadillac was roaring through Nebraska whining
Doing 120 man the fields was bending over
Heading out for the mountains knowing we was traveling further
All the fires were blazing and the spinning wheels were turning turning
Had my girl beside me, brother, brother, she was burning burning

Up walked a Baptist preachin' southern funky school teacher
She had a line on something heavy but we couldn't reach her
We told her that we needed something that would get us going
She pulled out all she had and laid it on the counter showing
All I had to do was lay my money down and pick it up
The cops came busting in and then we lit out in a pickup truck

Go! Get out of Denver, better, go
Get out of Denver, better, go,
Get out of Denver, better, go
Cause you look just like a commie
And you might just be a member
Get out of Denver
Get out of Denver

Well, red lights were flashing and the sirens were a-screaming screaming
We had to pinch each other just to see if we were dreaming
Made it to Loveland Pass in under less than half an hour
Lord, it started drizzling and it turned into a thundershower

The rain was driving but the Caddy kept on burning rubber
We kept on driving till we ran into some fog cover
We couldn't see a thing but somehow we just kept on going
We kept on driving all night long and then into the morning fog
It finally lifted when we looked to see where we was at
We're staring at a Colorado state policeman trooper cat

Go! Get out of Denver, better, go
Get out of Denver, better, go,
Get out of Denver, better, go
Cause you look just like a commie
And you might just be a member
Get out of Denver
Get out of Denver

Go! Get out of Denver, better, go
Get out of Denver, better, go,
Get out of Denver, better, go
Cause you look just like a commie
And you might just be a member
Get out of Denver
Better go!

1.2 - I Knew The Bride

Well, the bride was a picture in the gown that her mama wore
When she was married herself nearly twenty-seven years before
She had to change the style a little but it looked just fine
Stayed up all night, but they got it finished just in time

Now on the arm of her daddy, she’s walkin’ down the aisle
She catch my eye and give me a secret smile
Maybe it’s too old fashioned, but we once were close friends
Oh but the way that she looks today, she never could have then.

Well, I can see her now in her tight blue jeans
Stuffin’ all her money in the record machine
Spinnin’ like a top, you shoulda seen her go
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll

Well, the proud daddy only want to give his little girl the best
So he put down a grand on a cozy little lover’s nest
You could have called the reception an unqualified success
At a posh hotel for a hundred and fifty guests

Take a look at the bridegroom smilin’ pleased as pie
Shakin’ hands all around with a glassy look in his eye
He got a real good job and his shirt and tie is nice
But I remember a time when she never would have looked at him twice

Well, I can see her now drinkin’ with the boys
Breakin’ their hearts like they were toys
She used to do the pony, she used to do the stroll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll

Well, I can see her now with her walk man on
Struttin’ up and down to her favorite song
I still remember when she used to wanta make a lot of noise
Hoppin’ and boppin’ with the street corner boys
She used to wanna party, she used to wanna go
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll

1.6 - Where Or When

It seems we stood and talked like this, before
We looked at each other in the same way then
But I can't remember where or when

The clothes you're wearing are the clothes you wore
The smile you are smiling you were smiling then
But I can't remember where or when

Some things that happened for the first time
Seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before, and loved before
But who knows where or when
 

2.1 - Juju Man

I was just 16 years old,
And Maggie's hair was black as coal.
And I felt this heart of mine go slipping away.
Now, her eyes were bright as the stars up above.
Every word Maggie spoke was love.
And I felt this heart of mine go slipping away.

Falling in love again,
Falling in love again.
We don't care if we don't ever do
Fall back out again!

Time went on and my love it got stronger.
Me and Maggie couldn't wait any longer.
We had to go to town right away to see the Ju Ju Man.
I said, "Please please tell me, Mr. Ju Ju Man,
Read the cards that you've got in your hand.
I've got to make a plan for me and my Maggie love."

Falling in love again,
Falling in love again.
We don't care if we don't ever do
Fall back out again!

Falling in love again,
Falling in love again.
We don't care if we don't ever do
Fall back out again!

Maggie's Mama, she'd like to hang me.
Maggie's Pa, now, I know he'd like to chain me,
Cause he don't understand a single word of what I said.
I said, "Please, Mr. Ju Ju Man,
Will I be holding Maggie's hand
When the robin sings again in the spring, next June?"

Falling in love again,
Falling in love again.
We don't care if we don't ever do
Fall back out again!

Falling in love again,
Falling in love again.
We don't care if we don't ever do
Fall back out again!

Falling, falling, falling in love again
……………………….

2.3 - Let's Talk About Us

We talked about the birdies
That fly up in the trees
We talked about the moon
And the stars we couldn't see
But you keep on pretending
You don't know what's wrong with me
Come on, let's talk, about us

We talked about the good times
That made us laugh and sigh
We talked about the bad times
That brought tears to my eyes
Now, I think it's about time
For you to realize
Come on, let's talk, about us

Honey, I swear I'll love you, 'til the very end
But I don't plan on stickin' around
If it's just to be your friend

We've talked, an' talked, an' talked, an' talked
But there's been nothin' said
Things that you've been talkin' about
Just don't stick to my head
Sometimes little girl, I think
That your heart is filled with lead
Come on, let's talk, about us

Honey I swear I'll love you
Oh, 'til the very end
Well, I don't plan on stickin' around
If it's just to be your friend

We've talked, an' talked, an' talked, an' talked
And there's been nothin' said
Things that you've been talkin' about
Just don't stick to my head
Sometimes little girl, I think
That your heart is filled with lead
Come on, let's talk, about us
Come on, let's talk, about us
Come on, let's talk, about us

2.4 - Hey Good Lookin'

Hey, hey, good lookin',
Whatcha got cookin'?
How's about cookin' somethin' up for me
Hey, sweet baby,
Don't you think maybe
We could find us a brand new recipe
I got a hot-rod Ford and a two-dollar bill
And I know a place way over the hill.
There's soda pop and the dancin's free,
So if you wanna have fun come along with me.
Hey, good lookin',
Whatcha got cookin'?
How's about cookin' somethin' up for me

Hey, sweet baby,
Don't you think maybe
We could find us a brand new recipe
I got a hot-rod Ford and a two-dollar bill
And I know a place way over the hill.
There's soda pop and the dancin's free,
So if you wanna have fun come along with me.
Hey, good lookin',
Whatcha got cookin'?
How's about cookin' somethin' up
How's about cookin' somethin' up
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me?

2.7 - My Baby Left Me

Yes my baby left me,
Never said a word.
Was it something I done,
Something that she heard?
My baby left me,
My baby left me.
My baby even left me,
Never said a word.

Well I stand at my window,
Wring my hands and cry.
I hate to lose that woman,
I hate to say goodbye.
You know she left me,
My baby left me.
My baby even left me,
Never said a word.

Baby, one of these mornings,
Lord, it won't be long,
You'll look for me and,
Baby, and daddy he'll be gone.
You know you left me,
My baby left me.
My baby even left me,
Never said a word.

Well, I stand at my window,
Wring my hands and moan.
All I know is that
The one I love is gone.
You know you left me,
My baby left me.
My baby even left me,
Never said a word
