CCR - Down On The Corner Lyrics
Early in the evenin' just about supper time
Over by the courthouse they're starting to unwind.
Four kids on the corner trying to bring you up.
Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp.
Down On The Corner out in the street
Willy and the Poorboys are playin';
Bring a nickel; tap your feet.
Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile
Blinky thumps the gut bass and solos for a while.
Poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo.
Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo.
Down On The Corner, out in the street,
Willy and the Poorboys are playin';
Bring a nickel; tap your feet.
Down On The Corner, out in the street,
Willy and the Poorboys are playin';
Bring a nickel; tap your feet.
You don't need a penny just to hang around,
But if you've got a nickel, won't you lay your money down?
Over on the corner there's a happy noise.
People come from all around to watch the magic boy.
Down On The Corner, out in the street,
Willy and the Poorboys are playin';
Bring a nickel; tap your feet.
Down On The Corner, out in the street,
Willy and the Poorboys are playin';
Bring a nickel; tap your feet.
Down On The Corner, out in the street,
Willy and the Poorboys are playin';
Bring a nickel; tap your feet.
Better Than Ezra - Closer
And the morning light was breaking
Slowly moving across the bed
He gets up without her waking
To the voices in his head
Through the shadows in the hallway
To the room they painted blue
And on the inside he is frightened
At a loss for what to do
Until he opens up his eyes
And the angels all look down
Even closer than this life
Closer than your faith
Closer than the things that you hold dearly
And in vain
Closer than this life
Falling through again
Giving more than anything
That you could hope to win
And he knows his life is changing
It's never easy letting go
For the first time you are mortal
As the child before you grows
And he wonders at the sight
Of the joy that he has found
Even closer than this life
Closer than your faith
Closer than the things that you hold dearly
And in vain
Closer than this life
Falling through again
Giving more than anything
That you could hope to win
And what would you intend to find?
Solitude? Your peace of mind?
Holding out for something less
Than touching the hand of God?
Even closer than this life
Closer than this faith
Closer than the things that you hold dearly
And in vain
Closer than this life
Falling through again
Giving more than anything
That you could hope to win
Closer than this life
Closer finally
Living for the only thing
You ever made complete
Oh, for the one thing
That you both did perfectly

All we need is a ten and a fiver
A car and a key and a sober driver
B double E double R U N Beer Run
A couple of frat guys from Abilene
Drove out all night to see Robert Earl Keen
At the KPIG Swine and Soiree dance
They wore baseball caps and khaki pants
They wanted cigs and so to save some money
They bummed one off a hippie that smelled kinda funny
Next thing they knew they were both really hungry
And pretty thirsty too
B double E double R U N Beer Run
B double E double R U N Beer Run
All we need is a ten and a fiver
A car and a key and a sober driver
B double E double R U N Beer Run
They found a store with a sign that said their beer was the coldest
They sent in Brad cause he looked the oldest
He got a case of beer and a candy bar
Walked over to where them registers are
Laid his fake ID on the counter top
The clerk looked and turned and looked back and stopped
He said “Boy, I ain’t callin’ the cops,
But I am keepin’ this card”
The guys took it hard
B double E double R U N Beer Run
B double E double R U N Beer Run
Oh how happy we would be
If we had only brought a better fake ID
On a B double E double R U N Beer Run
They met this other old hippie named Sleepy John
He claimed to be the one from the Robert Earl song
So they gave him the cash, he bought ‘em some brews
It was a beautiful day out in Santa Cruz
They were feelin’ so good it shoulda been a crime
The crowd was cool and the band was prime
They made it back up to their seats just in time
To sing with all their friends
The road goes on forever and the party never ends....
