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 Written by Tom Gray © 2018 Tigray Music (BMI)

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

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

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
