The High Roller (Play)
The high roller loves to play with winners like you
Though she seems delicate and kind
There's no telling just what shady baby might do
She's capable of stealing your heart blind

So don't let her
Don't let her
Don't let her
No, don't let her
Roll you away

The high roller wants to place your love on the line
She says nothing ventured, nothing gained
The steam roller plays the field with no one in mind
She thinks the world revolves around her game

{chorus}

The high roller loves to play with losers like you
The high roller loves to play with losers like you
The high roller loves to play with losers like you

{chorus}

Good Friends
Looking back when we were younger men
We weren't ordinary friends
'Cause when the road got ragged
We both made the grade
The one thing to depend on was we always made
Good friends
We were good friends

We had everything in common, so it seemed
We even shared each other's dreams
But now our lives are changing
That's just destiny
Just remember to remember we were meant to be
Good friends
Still be good friends

Move on over feeling sorry for yourself
I'm feeling sorry myself too
But that's just half the problem
There's so much to see
And we can't stop from being
What we're meant to be
You have your direction
And I have mine for me
Just remember to remember
That we were always meant to be
Good friends
Still be good friends

Living at the Home (Play)
There's a cottage in the country
With a perfect mountain view
Where the windows won't need mending
'Cause the sky is always blue

There's nothing I like better
Than living at the home
Everything is better
When you're living at the home

With your imagination
You can make it anything
A million-dollar mansion
Or a castle for a king

{chorus}

The world is full of killers,
Lunatics, and thieves
The crime just flows like water
And everything receives

There's murder in the city
Violence every day
The choice is to remain
Or to run away

There's nothing like a cottage
With a perfect mountain view
Where resting comes so easily
From nothing else to do

{chorus}

Reconciliation
Changes
We go through changes
They make us better
They make us strong

Pain
We all get pain
We all cause pain
Though it seems so wrong

Sorrow
We all feel sorry
We're always sorry
When it's too late

Patience
We all need patience
But it seems so hard
When you just can't wait

We both know we really care
If we could only clear the air
If we could only open up our hearts

Images
I keep receiving these images
Of you and me making love every night
Living together like birds of a feather
With never a reason to fight

I can't believe all this goodness
How did you happen to me
What could you see
In somebody like me, baby
If it's a dream, let it be

Images
Of our love growing stronger each day
Images
Of our lives as they turn into gray

I keep receiving these images
Of you and me holding hands 'til the end
Growing together and knowing forever
There never were two better friends

{chorus}

Images can last forever
Images can never die
Images can last forever
Images can never die

Look at What Love Can Do
In a world of perfect strangers
In a time when no one cared
Left alone in the danger zone
Lost and unprepared

With a picture in his pocket
Of the girl who let him down
Suicide and run-and-hide
Were the only games in town

Ooo, look at what love can do
Ooo, look at what love can do

She was once the perfect angel
With a heart of solid gold
But a girl can choose what she wants to lose
And she let the flame grow cold

Behind doors that never open
By a phone that doesn't ring
There's a lonely man doing what he can
And he's just tried everything

Ooo, look at what love can do
Ooo, look at what love can do

Following You
I guess you know I've been following you
When you eat breakfast then I eat too
I'm following you

I've taken the mountains and the 12-hour ride
And I've taken the salt flats all in stride
'Cause I'm following you
Just to be with you

Remember the time we talked in Silver City
That's when all of those secrets
Were so carefully unchained
Now every time I think of Silver City
I feel that same pain

Yes it's true I've been following you
Across the country in a Malibu
I'm following you

Well I'm serious now--It's nothing new
I've been laying down tracks since '72
Following you

Remember the time we talked in Silver City
That's when all of those secrets
Were so carefully unchained
Now every time I think of Silver City
I feel that same pain

You're the Star (Play)
I keep on dreaming
About you and me
Hit me with a one-way ticket
Back to my fantasy

Stay tuned for a full moon
As a silver screen
Brought to you in living color
Romance, adventure
We'll make a scene
You're the star and I'm your lover

You can't imagine
The movies we've made
All of them filmed undirected
Unreleased and never played

Wish you could join me
For another preview
Maybe on a Saturday evening
We could make them all come true

Stay tuned for a full moon
As a silver screen
Brought to you in living color
Romance, adventure
We'll make a scene
You're the star and I'm your lover

Two Roads
Hey there
There's something waiting for you somewhere
Don't wait
If you hesitate it may not still be there
And you'll never get it if you never dare

Two roads to travel on
Two to ramble on
Two roads will take you to
Two more to gamble on

Oh, I don't think you understand me
Let me put it this way:
Get up
Get out
Do what you want
Sit up
Spin out
Spit up
Reach out
Be good
Be new at what you do
Go on
Go now
Just go and do

Hey there
If you don't believe me, take a look out there
Don't wait
If you hesitate it may not still be there
And you'll never get it if you never dare

Two roads to travel on
Two to ramble on
Two roads will take you to
Two more to gamble on

Riddle of Love
Ooo, we can't give up yet
Ooo, We can't let go
Ooo, We're getting closer to solutions
Ooo, I've got to know

I keep looking and jumping to conclusions
Trying to find the answer to the riddle of love
I keep falling for all the same illusions
Trying to find the answer to the riddle of love

We keep playing and wondering who's the winner
Trying to find the answer to the riddle of love
We keep losing just like a new beginner
Trying to find the answer to the riddle of love

Ooo, we have no secrets
Ooo, we have no clue
Ooo, inside these silly situations
Ooo, there's nothing new

{chorus}

Feels like love is just right
Seems like love to me
Feels right but it just might
Be a joke on me

{chorus}
