I was talkin' with a friend of mine, He said a woman had hurt his pride, She told him that she loved him so and Then turned around and let him go. Then he said, "You better watch your step Or you're gonna get hurt yourself. Someone's gonna tell you lies and Cut you down to size." Don't do me like that. Don't do me like that. I just might love you baby. Don't do me like that. Don't do me like that. Don't do me like that. Someday I might need you honey Don't do me like that. Listen honey, can't you see? Baby, it would bury me If you were in the public eye givin' someone else a try. So you know you better watch your step Or you're gonna get hurt yourself. Someone's gonna tell you lies, Cut you down to size. Don't do me like that. Don't do me like that. I just might love you baby. Don't do me like that. Don't do me like that. Someday I might need you honey Don't do me like that. Somewhere deep down inside, Somethin' sayin, ' "Love doesn't last that long." I've had this feelin' inside night out and day in, Baby, I can't take it no more. Don't do me like that. Don't do me like that. I just might love you baby Don't do me like that. Don't do me like that. Someday I might need you, honey. Don't do me like that.

Refugee 01:58
We got somethin', we both know it, we don't talk too much about it Ain't no real big secret, all the same, somehow we get around it Listen, you have to live like a refugee You have to live like a refugee Somewhere, somehow, somebody must have kicked you around some Who knows maybe you were kidnapped Tied up taken away and held for ransom Listen, you have to live like a refugee You have to live like a refugee Oh baby, we ain't the first I'm sure a lot of other lovers been cursed Right now it seems real to you, but it's One of those things you gotta feel to be true Listen, you have to live like a refugee You have to live like a refugee

Free Fallin 02:40
She's a good girl, loves her mama Loves Jesus and America too She's a good girl, crazy 'bout Elvis Loves horses and her boyfriend too It's a long day livin' in Reseda There's a freeway runnin' through the yard And I'm a bad boy, 'cause I don't even miss her I'm a bad boy for breakin' her heart All the vampires walkin' through the valley Move west down Ventura Blvd. And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows All the good girls are home with broken hearts

You think you're gonna take her away With your money and your cocaine You keep thinking that her mind is gonna change But I know everything is okay She's gonna listen to her heart It's gonna tell her what to do She might need a lot of loving But she don't need you You want me to think that I'm being used You want her to think it's over You can't see it doesn't matter what you do Buddy, you don't even know her She's gonna listen to her heart It's gonna tell her what to do She might need a lot of loving But she don't need you

Well it's all right, riding around in the breeze Well it's all right, if you live the life you please Well it's all right, doing the best you can Well it's all right, as long as you lend a hand You can sit around and wait for the phone to ring (end of the line) Waiting for someone to tell you everything (end of the line) Sit around and wonder what tomorrow will bring (end of the line) Maybe a diamond ring Well it's all right, even if they say you're wrong Well it's all right, sometimes you gotta be strong Well it's all right, as long as you got somewhere to lay Well it's all right, everyday is judgment day Maybe somewhere down the road aways (end of the line) You'll think of me, wonder where I am these days (end of the line) Maybe somewhere down the road when somebody plays (end of the line) Purple haze Well it's all right, even when push comes to shove Well it's all right, if you got someone to love Well it's all right, everything'll work out fine Well it's all right, we're going to the end of the line Don't have to be ashamed of the car I drive (end of the line) I'm just glad to be here, happy to be alive (end of the line) It don't matter if you're by my side (end of the line) I'm satisfied Well it's all right, even if you're old and grey Well it's all right, you still got something to say Well it's all right, remember to live and let live Well it's all right, the best you can do is forgive Well it's all right, riding around in the breeze Well it's all right, if you live the life you please Well it's all right, even if the sun don't shine Well it's all right, we're going to the end of the line

about

I started recording these songs because I wanted to find a way to play around with arrangement without having to write lyrics at the same time. I have a lot of respect for Mr. Tom's restraint in the original arrangements. His songs showcase melody and lyricism without distracting the listener with extra sounds. I knew these songs would translate to a variety of styles because they have such strong lyrics and melodies at their core.

All tracks were recorded on a Tascam 424mkII to four-track cassette, then mixed by me at Joel's Underwear. No computers were used... until now.
