Playlist Doobie Brothers

doobie brothers - minute by minute

Hey, don?t worry, I?ve been lied to
I?ve been here many times before
Girl, don?t you worry, I know where I stand
I don?t need this love, I don?t need your hand
I know I could turn, blink, and you?d be gone
Then I must be prepared any time to carry on

But minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on
Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on

You will stay just to watch me, darlin?
Wilt away on lies from you
Can?t stop the habit of livin? on the run
I take it all for granted like you?re the only one
Livin? on my own
Somehow that sounds nice
You think I?m your fool
Well, you may just be right

?cause minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on
Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute
I keep holding on

Call my name and I?ll be gone
You?ll reach out and I won?t be there
Just my luck you?ll realize
You should spend your life with someone
You could spend your life with someone

Minute by minute by minute by minute
I?ll be holding on
Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute
I?ll be holding on...

doobie brothers - takin it to the streets

You don?t know me but I?m your brother
I was raised here in this living hell
You don?t know my kind in your world
Fairly soon the time will tell
You, telling me the things you?re gonna do for me
I ain?t blind and I don?t like what I think I see

Takin? it to the streets
Takin? it to the streets
Takin? it to the streets
Takin? it to the streets

Take this message to my brother
You will find him everywhere
Wherever people live together
Tied in poverty?s despair
You, telling me the things you?re gonna do for me
I ain?t blind and I don?t like what I think I see

Takin? it to the streets
Takin? it to the streets
Takin? it to the streets
Takin? it to the streets

doobie brothers - daughters of the sea

Autumn breeze blowin' to the east
Shift of breeze upon a sea of peace
Hear them call, can't you hear them sing
Hear them call, how their voices ring
Dizzy dancin', golden ladies
Misty eyes that cannot fool
Silver shoreline waves come crashin'
To the end of all of you
Like a spider weavin' silken nets
Fingers move, swaying silhouettes
Hear them call, can't you hear them sing
Hear them call, how their voices ring
Spinning, turning, moonlit madness
'Round the fire burnin' bright
I can see it risin' higher
Lightin' up the starry night

Hear them call, can't you hear them sing
Hear them call, how their voices ring
Hear them call, can't you hear them sing
Hear them call, how their voices ring

doobie brothers - open your eyes

Michael McDonald/Lester Abrams/Patrick Henderson

Girl, as we take a long last look at this love
Before you go, I've got to know
I've got to know, was it ever true
I've got to hear it from you

Girl, I can take one more hurt in this heart
Before you go, I've got to know
I've got to know, was it ever true
I've got to hear it from you

Not like before
We were lost in a whirling dance
Never slowing down
Long enough to give truth a chance
To come out
So that the light could shine in

And open your eyes
If it's not real, there's no reason to frown
Open your eyes
Let's not let what never was bring us down

I've got to know, was it ever true
I've got to hear it from you

Not like before
We were lost in a whirling dance
Never slowing down
Long enough to give truth a chance
To come out
So that the light could shine in

And open your eyes
If it's not real, there's no reason to frown
Open your eyes
Let's not let what never was bring us down...

doobie brothers - black water

Well, I built me a raft and she's ready for floatin'
ol' Mississippi, she's callin' my name
Catfish are jumpin' that paddle wheel thumpin'
Black water keeps rollin' on past just the same

Old black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon won't you keep on shinin' on me?
Old black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon won't you keep on shinin' on me?
Old black water, keep on rollin'
Mississippi moon won't you keep on shinin' on me?
Yeah, keep on shinin' your light, gonna make every thing
Pretty mama, gonna make everything all right
And I ain't got no worries 'cause I ain't in no hurry at all

Well, if it rains, I don't care, don't make no difference to me
Just take that street car that's goin' up town
Yeah, I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland and dance a honkytonk,
and I'll be buyin' everybody drinks all round

CHORUS, followed by guitar/fiddle solos, then:

I'd like to hear some funky Dixieland, pretty momma come and takeme
by the hand, by the hand, take me by the hand,
(I want to honky-tonk) (honky-tonk)
pretty momma, come and dance with your daddy all night long,
I'd like to... (honky-tonk) (with youall night long)

doobie brothers - eyes of silver

Eyes of silver hungry and aware
Eyes of silver, your mystic love I share
'Cause I'm hungry baby
For the love you give away
Kick out all that stupid pride
That's standin' in my way
Inside my loving eyes are open wide
Eyes of silver, on which I shall rely
Diamonds are forever, and gold can make you lie
But your eyes of silver shine on, shine on
Blades of steel have helped a man to conquer all
Rubies by the hundreds fill the Taj Mahal
Eyes of silver, you tell me what I need
To bring this cold and lonely man
Down to his bended knees
Inside my lovin' arms are open wide
For you eyes of silver
On which I shall rely
Diamonds and gold make you lie, lie, lie
But your eyes of silver, they shine on, shine on
Eyes of silver, baby, shine on, shine on
Baby, shining, yeah yeah, yeah, baby shining

doobie brothers - listen to the music

Listen To The Music

Don't you feel it growin', day by day
People gettin' ready for the news
Some are happy, some are sad
Oh, we got to let the music play
What the people need
Is a way to make 'em smile
It ain't so hard to do if you know how
Gotta get a message
Get it on through
Oh, now mama's go'n' to after 'while
Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
All the time
Well I know, you know better
Everything I say
Meet me in the country for a day
We'll be happy
And we'll dance
Oh, we're gonna dance our blues away
And if I'm feelin' good to you
And you're feelin' good to me
There ain't nothin' we can't do or say
Feelin' good, feeling fine
Oh, baby, let the music play
Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
All the time
Like a lazy flowing river
Surrounding castles in the sky
And the crowd is growing bigger
List'nin' for the happy sounds
And I got to let them fly
Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
Oh, oh, listen to the music
All the time

doobie brothers - mamaloi

Layin? back and sittin? in the sunshine
Hot wind, I drink me little wine
Straw hat down across my eyes
Lettin? the world go by
Music, it start my toes a tappin?
Drum beat, it set my hands a clappin?
Rum wine, it get my head a spinnin?
Turnin? around and ?round

Caribbean current, please take me
I hear you callin? me home
Got to get back to jamaica
I want no more to roam
Caribbean current, please take me

Gypsy, she say I got the fever
I don?t know whether to believe her
But when the wind blow from the sea
My soul start to fly away
She give me charm that will protect me
Necklace with stone from far across the sea
But island magic much too strong
It won?t let me go this time

Caribbean current, please take me

Got to get back to jamaica

Caribbean current, please take me
I hear you callin? me home

Caribbean current, please take me

doobie brothers - slow burn

Woke up this mornin'
Jumped to my feet
Ran to the window
And down in the street
The paperboy was jumpin'
Like a monkey on a leash
Yellin', read all about it
Read all about it
Slow burn in L.A. town
Slow burn in L.A. town

Down on Sunset
In the summertime
It gets so hot you think you're goin' blind
Little girls all dressed up
And they're ready to go out
Makes me wanna shout
Makes me wanna shout

Slow burn in L.A. town
Slow burn in L.A. town

You've got nowhere to go
No one to go there with
Ain't nobody cares about anything you did
Lookin' for trouble
You've got plenty on your mind
Now we'll read all about it
Read all about it, baby

Slow burn in L.A. town
Slow burn in L.A. town

doobie brothers - beehive state

Since you're the delegate from Kansas
Will you kindly take the floor
Now tell us, what is Kansas thinkin'
What is Kansas for
Kansas is for the farmer
We stand behind the little man
We need a fire house in Topeka
So help us if you can
I see the gentleman from Utah
Our friendly Beehive State
How can we help you, Utah
How can we make you great
We got to irrigate our deserts
We got to get some things to grow
We got to tell this country about Utah
'Cause nobody seems to know

doobie brothers - dark eyed cajun woman

I think back to the time
When I first saw your face
You were walkin' across the delta
To your cold and lonely place
You know, I took you for a small girl
Really not quite seventeen
Oh, Lord, but I was wrong, oh so wrong
You're like a woman I've never seen

Dark eyed Cajun woman
Where are you comin' from
Your soul is in the back woods
They say you never had a home
But I'm gonna know you better
If it takes all night and day
Dark eyed Cajun woman
You'll never get away, no, no

Now the evenin' is blowin'
I hear your voice most everywhere
Your cold, black eyes
They are dancin' in the starlight
Warmin' the cold night air
It's so beautiful, you know I have to say
Dark eyed Cajun woman
You'll never get away

doobie brothers - echoes of love

I hear your voice everywhere
It?s echoes of love
Making me look back over my shoulder
Echoes of love are started all over

Echoes of love
Keeps on haunting
I?m out of control
Keeps on burning
Echoes of love are out of control
Bringing back love I used to hold

Darlin?, since you went away
Think about you every day
So many memories
Got to get the best of me

Recalling the times
I used to hold you
I just wouldn?t do
What I was supposed to
I?ve done things
I?d like to undo
Now darlin? it?s you
I?d like to run to

Echoes of love
Keeps on haunting
I?m out of control
Keeps on burning
Echoes of love are out of control
Bringing back love I used to hold

Echoes of love
Echoes of love
Love, echoes of love
Keeps on haunting
Echoes of love, echoes of love
Keeps on burning
Echoes of love

doobie brothers - i can read your mind

Well your love is supernatural
Got a hold on me like I?m hypnotized
You don?t have to say a word
Every time you look at me
I can see it all in your eyes

Well I know you put a spell on me
How you make me think about you all the time
I can almost hear your voice
Even though you?re far away
I can feel you right by my side

I can read your mind
What you want me to do
Darlin? deep in your heart
I see the truth

Now I know you got the magic touch
When you hold me now I can see the truth
All the secrets of the heart
You can?t hide them any more
I can feel the power in you

I can read your mind
What you want me to do
Darlin? deep in your heart
I see the truth
I can read your mind
What you want me to be
To keep our love alive, you must be willing to believe
In a love that will last
And I know you realize
I can see it in your eyes
Now our love will never die
I can read your mind

doobie brothers - i cheat the hangman

The days grow short, the nights are gone
Since you were here, I can?t go on
I cried for you, to no avail
Now my life runs cold when the night winds wail
But I cheat the hangman, cheated him many times before
The bell that tolls the hour has turned sweet lips to sour
Yes, I cheat the hangman and even when life has flown away
I leave a kiss behind

The rain that fell upon my stone
Like tears you cry I shared alone
I walk the night, I cannot sleep
The love you spend you cannot reap

The glow of love will then shine
Lighted windows stare at the lonely stranger there returning home
Only lighted windows stare at the lonely stranger there returning home

doobie brothers - slippery st paul

Down along the river
Where the big bulrushes grow
You find the old frog jumpin the water
He won't come up no more, babe
He won't come up no more, baby
He won't come up no more, woo
He won't come up no more, sugar mama
He won't come up no more
Smell that burnin' fire, baby
Burnin' in the sand
See that devil rise, mama
He sho' wanna take yo' hand, now
He sho' wanna take yo' hand, baby
He sho' wanna take yo' hand, woo
He sho' wanna take yo' hand, sugar mama
He sho' wanna take yo' hand,

Oh, harvest moon
Keep shinin' your light down on me
The Lord reach out his hand
My soul floats out to thee

I don't feel no pain
When they shot me down
Lay my body out, baby
They put me in the ground so cold
They put me in the ground, baby
They put me in the ground, woo
They put me in the ground, sugar mama
They put me in the ground
