LONG WAY TO GO
Let me lean on the light pole
Until I catch my breath
Let me lean on the light pole
We’ve still got a long way to go
You can hold on my shoulder
If you miss your step
You can hold on my shoulder
We’ve still got a long way to go
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
We’ve still got a long way to go
Don’t the fields shine like diamonds
In the morning dew
Don’t the fields shine like diamonds
We’ve still got a long way to go
Let me walk in the sunlight
Where the road is plain
Let me walk in the sunlight
We’ve still got a long way to go
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
We’ve still got a long way to go
Don’t the sky turn to purple
In the evening tide
Don’t the sky turn to purple
We’ve still got a long way to go
Let me lean on the light pole
Until I catch my breath
Let me lean on the light pole
We’ve still got a long way to go
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
We’ve still got a long way to go

Babylon is Falling
(Traditional, arranged by Delta Moon)
Babylon
Babylon
Babylon oh Babylon
Falling to rise no more
Have you heard of Babylon
That city paved in gold
Thought they were meant to rule the world
Now their luck’s run cold
I’ve seen the towers of Babylon
Reaching for the skies
All that rises must come down
It comes as no surprise
Babylon (Babylon’s falling)
Babylon (Babylon’s falling)
Babylon oh Babylon
Falling to rise no more
Have you heard that Babylon
Ruled a fertile land
All those fields so lush and green
Are now just desert sand
The stars that shone on Babylon
Look down on you and me
Another thousand years from now
What do you think they’ll see?
Babylon (Babylon’s falling)
Babylon (Babylon’s falling)
Babylon oh Babylon
Falling to rise no more
Babylon (Babylon’s falling)
Babylon (Babylon’s falling)
Babylon oh Babylon
Falling to rise no more
Thought I heard (Babylon)
The angels say (Babylon)
Babylon (Babylon)
Been wiped away (Babylon)
That once great city (Babylon)
That golden town (Babylon)
Babylon (Babylon)
Is falling down (Babylon )
Can’t you hear them moaning? (Babylon)
Can’t you see them running? (Babylon)
Can’t you hear them calling? (Babylon)
It’s falling down (Babylon’s falling)
Falling down (Babylon)
Falling down (Babylon)
Falling down (Babylon)
Falling down (Babylon)
Just like the people (Babylon)
Of Babylon’s time (Babylon)
You and me (Babylon)
Yours and mine (Babylon)
You know we’ve got to (Babylon)
Find a way (Babylon)
To love and help each other (Babylon)
Right here today (Babylon)
Find a new way of walking (Babylon)
Find a new way of talking (Babylon)
A new way of living (Babylon)
Ah, a new way of giving (Babylon)
Babylon (Babylon’s falling)
Babylon (Babylon’s falling)
Babylon oh Babylon
Falling to rise no more
Babylon (Babylon’s falling)
Babylon (Babylon’s falling)
Babylon oh Babylon
Falling to rise no more
Babylon (Babylon’s falling)
Babylon (Babylon’s falling)
Babylon oh Babylon
Falling to rise no more

One More Heartache
Written by William Robinson, Warren Moore, Marvin Tarrlin, Ronald White and Robert Rogers
Jobete Music (ASCAP)
Ah, one more heartache
I can’t take it
My heart is carrying a heavy load
One more ache might break it
Just like a camel with a heavy pack
One last straw was added
They said it broke the camel’s back
I — oh, I —
I can’t take it
One more heartache
It would turn me right around
First you build my hopes up high
Then you let me down
Like a house of toothpicks built upon the kitchen table
One more toothpick tore it down
The foundation was not able
I — oh, I —
I can’t stand it.
Not another heartache, babe.
One more heartache
It would be too much load
I’m fed up with your heartaches
One more and I’ll explode
Like a toy balloon with as much as air as it can take
One more puff of air and that balloon has got to break
I — oh, I —
I can’t take it
Not another heartache, babe
Not another
Not another heartache

Might Take A Lifetime
Written By Mark Johnson
© 2018 MJJ Music International
Might take a lifetime to figure out love
Might take a lifetime to figure out love
Might need to pray to the stars above
Might take a lifetime to figure out love
Does your heart need a push or shove?
Might take a lifetime to figure out love
Might take forever just to see the light
Might take forever just to see the light
Although the moon is shining bright
Might take forever just to see the light
Don’t let your days all turn to night
Might take forever just to see the light
Don’t live your life like a photograph
Don’t live your life like a photograph
What’s in the past is in the past
Don’t live your life like a photograph
You know time is passing much too fast
Don’t live your life like a photograph
Might be the right time to sing about love
Might be the right time to sing about love
Might need to pray to the stars above
Might be the right time to sing about love
Does your heart need a push or shove?
Might be the right time to sing about love

Skinny Woman
Written by R.L. Burnside
Tradition Music, BMI
I don’t want
No skinny woman
I don’t want
No skinny woman
The meat don’t shake
The meat don’t shake
The meat don’t shake
The meat don’t shake
Well, she won’t
Cook no breakfast
And she won’t
Wash no clothes
All she’ll do is
Walk up and down
All she’ll do is
Walk up and down
Well, I love
That little woman
And I want her
For myself
She’s a good
Little woman
She’s a good
Little woman

Louisiana Rain
Written by Tom Petty
Alamo Music, ASCAP
Well, it was out in California
By the San Diego sea
That was when I was taken in
And it left its mark on me
Yeah, she really drove me crazy
With all those China toys
I know she didn’t mean a thing
To all those sailor boys
Louisiana rain is falling at my feet
I’m noticing the change as I move down the street
Louisiana rain soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge
South Carolina
Put out its arms for me
Right up until everything went back
Somewhere on Lonely Street
And I still can’t quite remember
Who helped me to my feet
Thank God for a love that followed
The angel’s remedy
Louisiana rain falling just like tears
Running down my face, washing out the years
Louisiana rain soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge
Well, I never will get over
This English refugee
Singing to the jukebox
In some all night beanery
Yeah, he was eating pills like candy
Chasing them with tea
You should have seen him lick his lips
That old black muddied beak
Louisiana rain is falling at my feet
I’m noticing the change as I move down the street
Louisiana rain soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge
Louisiana rain falling just like tears
Running down my face, washing out the years
Louisiana rain soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge
I may never be the same when I reach Baton Rouge

Little Pink Pistol
Written by Tom Gray
© 2018 Tigray Music (BMI)
She’s got a little pink pistol
Keeps it in her purse
Firing at a target
She could have done a lot worse
She’s got a little pink
Little pink
Little pink pistol
All the boys want to hold her
But it’s understood
If she don’t want to love you
She can mess you up good
She’s got a little pink
Little pink
Little pink pistol
This bee has got a stinger
And she keeps her trigger finger
On a little pink pistol
Got the big sunglasses
And a little short skirt
She can make you happy
She can make you hurt
This bee has got a stinger
And she keeps her trigger finger
On a little pink pistol
Little pink pistol
Little pink pistol
Little pink pistol
Back off, back off
She’s got a little pink pistol
Little pink pistol
You better back off
Better back off
Back off, back off
She’s got a little pink pistol

Nobody’s Fault But Mine
(Traditional, arranged by Delta Moon)
Nobody’s fault but mine
Nobody’s fault but mine
If I die and my soul be lost
Nobody’s fault but mine
Mother, she taught me how to read
Mother, she taught me how to read
If I don’t read and my soul be lost
Nobody’s fault but mine
Nobody’s fault but mine
Nobody’s fault but mine
If I die and my soul be lost
Nobody’s fault but mine
Nobody’s fault but mine
I got a Bible in my home
I got a Bible in my home
If I don’t read and my soul be lost
Nobody’s fault but mine
Sister, she taught me how to read
Sister, she taught me how to read
If I don’t read and my soul be lost
Nobody’s fault but mine
Nobody’s fault but mine
Nobody’s fault but mine
If I die and my soul be lost
Nobody’s fault but mine
Nobody’s fault but mine
Father taught me how to think
Father taught me how to think
If I don’t speak, my voice be lost
Nobody’s fault but mine
I know right from wrong
I know right from wrong
If I don’t stand and testify
It’s nobody’s fault but mine
Nobody’s fault but mine
Nobody’s fault but mine
If I die and my soul be lost
Nobody’s fault but mine
Nobody’s fault but mine

Somebody in My Home
Written by Chester Burnett
Arc Music, BMI
Oh, somebody walking, baby
Walking in my home, you know
Is it the one you’re loving, baby?
That’s why you’re doing me wrong
Oh, I’m gonna pack my clothes in the morning
Oh, hit the road, you know
Oh, pack my clothes in the morning
Oh, hit the road, you know
Somebody’s walking
Walking in my home, you know
Oh, is the one you’re loving, baby?
That little bitty boy

One Mountain at a Time
Written by Jeff Bakos, Tom Gray, Mark Johnson, and Franher Joseph (Tigray Music,
MJJMusic International, Ephjay Music) BMI
Seems like nothing’s going to work out right
But no point giving up the fight
And, mama mama, just look at sis
Standing in the corner trying to do the twist
Just one hill
Just one climb
Let’s scale one mountain at a time
I got no money and my car’s a wreck
Still fighting for some self respect
Come in here, you little hard boiled egg
You best quit twisting before you break a leg
Just one hill
Just one climb
Let’s scale one mountain at a time
I heard the news, I seen the vids
It seems the whole world’s on the skids
But I met some girls at the union hall
Said, come on, honey, let’s have a ball
Just one hill
Just one climb
Let’s scale one mountain at a time
Just one hill
Just one climb
Let’s scale one mountain at a time

Christmas Time in New Orleans
Written by Mark Johnson
© 2017 MJJ Music International (BMI)
Riding with my baby
Flying through the evergreens
Riding with my baby
Flying through the evergreens
Going to Louisiana
It's Christmas time in New Orleans
Reveillon dinner
Singing down in Jackson Square
Reveillon dinner
Singing down in Jackson Square
Mr. Bingle in the window
All the children stop and stare
Bonfire on the levee
They light 'em every Christmas Eve
Bonfire on the levee
They light 'em every Christmas Eve
Papa Noel finds his way
At least that's what some believe
Riding with my baby
Flying through the evergreens
Riding with my baby
Flying through the evergreens
Going to Louisiana
It's Christmas time in New Orleans
