On the River 04:44
she goes on rolling down the river she takes you to your new home and you go with her on the muddy river she teaches you a new song

Art & Life 05:05
i'm glad you came over the other night just to talk about art and life it's such a dream, all these feelings we feel but the music and we are real -so take it easy when you go in a new direction, on another road think of me when you lay your guitar down isten to the breeze and look around everybody knows music heals the soul so sing for me before you go and when you pass this way again i'll play music for you my friend -so take it easy when you go in a new direction, on another road think of me when you lay your guitar down isten to the breeze and look around -so take it easy when you go in a new direction, on another road think of me when you lay your guitar down isten to the breeze and look around the road is music for you and me a true musician seeks harmony although your many miles from here i'll play music for you to feel -so take it easy when you go in a new direction, on another road think of me when you lay your guitar down isten to the breeze and look around

Deep Water 02:22
Water is deep. The road goes on forever. And some day we'll make this world, a little brighter. The rain is sweet. The cows are in the clover. And when wee meet we'll be closer. The sky is wide. The rivers flow together. and when they meet the waves go out forever. Water is deep. The road goes on forever. And some day we'll make this world, a little brighter.

Hitchhiking 05:27
I HIT THE ROAD AND HEADED FOR THE SETTING SUN. THE LIGHTS ON THE PAVEMENT WERE GOLD. THE LONG BLACK HIGHWAY WAS AN ARROW TO THE STARS. CARS PASSED BY. AND THAN I GOT A RIDE. THE CARS WERE GOING FAST INTO THE NIGHT. THE FALLING RAIN WAS SHINNING ON THE ROAD. WE DROVE FROM DARKNESS, INTO THE BRIGHT MORNING SUN, WHERE THE GREAT WATERS FALL, AT BUFFALO. I GOT A RIDE OUT OF CHICAGO. WE PASSED THROUGH CITIES AND SMALL TOWNS. THE TRUCK THAT PICKED ME UP, HEADED SOUTH. AND THE MISSISSIPPI FLOWED LIKE A GREAT WIDE ROAD OF GOLD AND MUD. I WENT TO AUSTIN WHERE I STAYED WITH SOME GOOD PEOPLE IN THERE HOME. AND PETER TOOK ME OUT, TO THE PLACE WHERE THE BLUE ROCKS ROSE ON THE SILVER MIRROR OF A LAKE. WHEN I LEFT AUSTIN FOR THE COAST, I GOT A RIDE WITH RICHARD WHITE. HE PLAYED A FRAIL GUITAR, AND I SANG A HOPEFUL NOTE. WITH THE BLUE SKY PLAYING BY, THE FREEWAY. I GOT A JOB IN SAN FRANCISCO. WASHING THE POTS IN A RESTAURANT . AND AFTER WORK I'D GO, TO THE TOP OF A HILL, WITH THE WHITE CITY SHINNING, IN THE DUSK. I HIT THE ROAD AND HEADED FOR THE SETTING SUN. THE LIGHTS ON THE PAVEMENT WERE GOLD. THE LONG BLACK HIGHWAY WAS AN ARROW TO THE STARS. CARS PASSED BY. AND THAN I GOT A RIDE.
