Beehive State
(Written by Randy Newman)

Since you're the delegate from Kansas
Will you kindly take the floor
And tell us what is Kansas thinking
What is Kansas for

Kansas is for the farmer
We stand behind the little man
'Cause we need a firehouse in Topeka
So help us if you can

I see the gentleman from Utah
A friend of Beehive State
How can we help you, Utah?
How can we make you great?

Well, we gotta irrigate our desert
And we gotta get some things to grow
And we gotta tell this country about Utah
Because nobody seems to know



Invitation Inn

Cried at the show
Offering money and things 'til they close

Ty you are mistaken for your own ...

I want to invite you in
Buy you a drink before the night even ends
It takes but just an hour or so
To gather up all these lights
(?)
Bet you'd learn to like it here

(?)



It's the Law

I thought you were alright
But I wouldn't die without you by my side

Lawrence is on the way down

Toss your bone
Follow you down

Lawrence is on the way down



Leave Me At the Tree

Your foot's caught on the side door
You were sad, saddened by

Your luck's running, you want more
You want reason to ...
You were made, passerby
You were fit for the trial

Caught you running around on the other side
You caught me running around on the other side

Your luck's running, you want more
Your foot's caught on the side door
You were sad, saddened by
You were made, passing by

You caught me running around on the other side
Now you're on



Lower

You go, you saw the wave
And you go, you're stuck in the land
You go, too many are yours
You go, you saw the wave

Call your mine


These Days
(written by Jackson Browne, © Open Window Music ASCAP)

Well I've been out walking
I don't do that much talking these days
These days
These days I seem to think a lot
About the things that I forgot to do
And all the times I had the chance to

I've stopped my rambling
I don't do too much gambling these days
These days
These days I seem to think about
How all the changes came about my way
And I wonder if I'll see another highway

I had a lover
I don't think I'll risk another these days
These days
And if I seem to be afraid
To live the life I have made in song
It's just that I've been losing so long

Then I'll stop my dreaming
I don't do too much scheming these days
These days
These days I sit on corner stores
And count the time in quarter tones to ten
Please don't confront me with my failures
'Cause I have not forgotten them



Why You Little

You can laugh if you want to

Who do you think that I should live this way, I am
What a fight
What if I

You don't seem worth it today
