Songs That Make a Difference

Songs That Make A Difference - Waylon Jennings

Hey Babe do you remember

Back in nineteen sixty-nine

We gathered round the room

You sang yours and I sang mine

We took turns with the guitar

In the front and center seat

Shel and Kris and Dylan

And a couple off the street

Joni Mitchell cried on "Both Sides Now "

We sang songs that made a difference

And we can again somehow

Everybody knew that this

Was quite a special night

Graham Nash was nervous

In the hot seat in the light

Joe South was total magic

And we all walked in his shoes

Orbison and Rabbitt cried

And they rocked the country blues

Mickey Newbury's "San Francisco Mabel Joy "

We sang songs that made a difference

June was pregnant with my boy

Oh I could make a livin'

Drivin' nails or drivin' trucks

Sleep beneath the bridge

Or in the streets down on my luck

I'd stand the cold and hunger

If they'd let me hear the songs

Everybody write one

That us bums can sing along

Keep it from the heart and down to earth

Sing the songs that make a difference

Give us all our money's worth

Hey Keep it from the heart and down to earth

Sing the songs that make a difference

Give us all our money's worth
