Lyrics
- Any major dude with half a heart surely will tell you my friend
Any minor world that breaks apart falls together again- Any Major Dude Will Tell You (1974)
- This is the day
Of the expanding man
That shape is my shade
There where I used to stand- Deacon Blues (1977)
- They got a name for the winners in the world
I want a name when I lose
They call Alabama the Crimson Tide
Call me Deacon Blues- Deacon Blues (1977)
- I cried when I wrote this song
Sue me if I play too long
This brother is free
I'll be what I want to be- Deacon Blues (1977)
- Katy tried
I was halfway crucified
I was on the other side
Of no tomorrow- Dr. Wu (1975)
- Are you with me Doctor Wu?
Are you really just a shadow
Of the man that I once knew?- Dr. Wu (1975)
- She thinks I'm crazy
But I'm just growing old- Hey 19 (1980)
- The Cuervo Gold
The fine Colombian
Make tonight a wonderful thing- Hey 19 (1980)
- Peg
It will come back to you
Then the shutter falls
You see it all in 3-D
It's your favorite foreign movie- Peg (1977)
- I have never met Napoleon
But I plan to find the time- Pretzel Logic (1974)
- You tell yourself you're not my kind
But you don't even know your mind
And you could have a change of heart- Rikki Don't Lose That Number (1974)
- While the poor people sleepin'
With the shade on the light
While the poor people sleepin'
All the stars come out at night- Show Biz Kids (1973)
