Country Road
(James Taylor)

Take to the highway, won't you lend me your name
Your way and my way seem to be one and the same

Mama don't understand it
She wants to know where I've been
I'd have to be some kind of natural born fool
I want to pass that way again
But you know I could feel it
On a country road

Sail on home to Jesus, won't you good girls and boys
I'm all in pieces, you can have your own choice

But I can hear a heavenly band full of angels
And they're coming to set me free
I don't know nothing 'bout the why or when
But I can tell you that it's bound to be
Because I could feel it, child, yeah
On a country road

I guess my feet know where they want me to go
Walking on a country road yeh

Take to the highway, won't you lend me your name
Your way and my way, they seem to be one and the same, child

Mama don't understand it
She wants to know where I've been
I'd have to be some kind of natural born fool
To want to pass that way again
But I could feel it, Lord
On a country road

Walk on down, walk on down, walk on down
Walk on down, walk on down a country road
La la la la .... country road - oh yeah
Walking on a country road ....

from Sweet Baby James (1970)

You've Got A Friend
(Carole King)

When you're down and troubled and you need a helpin' hand
And nothin', oh, nothin' is going right
Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night

You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
I'll come runnin', oh yeah baby, to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall, now all you got to do is call
And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah, you've got a friend

If the sky above you should turn dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind should begin to blow
Keep your head together and call my name out loud now
And soon I'll be knockin' upon your door

You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
I'll come runnin', oh yes I will, to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall, all you got to do is call
And I'll be there, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold, they'll hurt you and desert you
Well, they'll take your soul if you let them
Oh yeah but don't you let 'em

You just call out my name and you know wherever I am
I'll come runnin' to see you again
Oh baby, don't you know 'bout
Winter, spring, summer or fall, hey now all you got to do is call
Lord, I'll be there, yes I will, Lord, you've got a friend

You've got a friend, yeah
Ain't it good to know, you've got a friend
Ain't it good to know, you've got a friend
Oh, yeah, yeah, you've got a friend

from Mud Slide Slim & Blue Horizon (1971)

Handy Man
(J. Jones/O. Blackwell)

Hey girls gather round
Listen to what I'm puttin' down
Hey baby, I'm your handy man

I'm not the kind to use a pencil or rule
I'm handy with love and I'm no fool
I fix broken hearts, I know, but I truly can

If your broken heart should need repair
Then I am the man to see
I whisper sweet things, you tell all your friends
They'll come runnin' to me

Here is the main thing that I want to say
I'm busy twenty four hours a day
I fix broken hearts, I know, but I truly can

Come a come a come a come a come come - come
Yeah yeah yeah
Come a come a come a come a come come - oh yeah
They'll come runnin' to me

Here is the main thing I want to say
I'm busy twenty four hours a day
I fix broken hearts, baby, I'm your handy man

Come a come a come a come a come come - come
Yeah yeah yeah
Come a come a come a come a come come - come
Yeah yeah yeah ....
That's me, I'm your handy man
That's me, I'm your handy man

from 'JT' (1977)
