lyrics

If I had my way tonight I would surely change your mind You might be surprised at what you see I know that I don't look the part Don't turn it off before it starts I can hear your heart talkin' to me I'm not a stone that's been polished and shined I'm not the diamond that you had in mind I can't hide it, you get what you see I've got a lot of rough edges on me Carnegie or Albert Hall You don't need no crystal ball You know you'll never catch me in that scene I like my music way up loud, the house is rockin' when I go out The midnight hour that's where I want to be I'm not a stone that's been polished and shined I'm not the diamond that you had in mind I can't hide it, you get what you see I've got a lot of rough edges on me I'm not a stone that's been polished and shined I'm not the diamond that you had in mind I can't hide it, you get what you see I've got a lot of rough edges on me

Ooh, stealin' Colorado reelin' Rocky Mountain Breakdown Bow to the fiddler Don't be slow Smoke on the mountain Fire on the bow Pick out the tune We love to hear Patch up the feelin's Mend all the fear Oh, what a showdown Toe to toe First one to holler Last one to go Now change your partners Clap your hands Stomp your feet At the new barn dance Ooh, stealin' Colorado reelin' Rocky Mountain Breakdown

lyrics

There’s a highway running out of town Forty miles; it’s a straight shot No way to get turned around From here to there, you can’t get lost No surprises, no wrong way Why can't love be that way How can love go straight to your heart And be such a crooked road How can we keep from drifting apart When love's such a crooked road Used to be that we were so sure We knew where we were going Why can't we see it like we did before Believing, when there was no way of knowing Some surprises, no wrong way Why can't love be that way How can love go straight to your heart And be such a crooked road How can we keep from drifting apart When love's such a crooked road So, tell me what I'm missing If love is really the shortest distance So, tell me what I'm missing If love is really the shortest distance Yeah, tell me what I'm missing If love is really the shortest distance How can love go straight to your heart And be such a crooked road How can we keep from drifting apart When love's such a crooked road How can love go straight to your heart (straight to your heart) And be such a crooked road (such a crooked road) How can we keep from drifting apart (drifting apart) When love's such a crooked road (such a crooked road) (Straight to your heart) crooked road (Such a crooked road) (Drifting apart) crooked road Straight to your heart (crooked road) (Crooked road) (Crooked road) (Crooked road)

If you can't stand to lose Don't stand in the way Hey, don't you think it's time you say Tell her the truth now Don't be afraid Tell her she's the only one You can’t stand to lose It's alright, if you're feelin' like There's something that you need to say 'Cause the only words she hasn't heard Are the very ones That stand in your way So just let your heart tell you What's on your mind Even though you're afraid Of what you might find I can't stand to lose Won’t let her slip away Finally think it’s time to say Tell you the truth now, won’t be afraid To say you’re the only one I can’t stand to lose I know in my heart this time to say To tell you the truth now Won’t be afraid Tell you you’re the only one I can’t stand I can’t stand to lose I can’t stand to lose I can’t stand to lose

We've got all night, let’s take our time Tell me your secret and I'll tell you mine If it makes us feel better Call it love You say you won't, but I say you will You make me crazy, but I want you still If it makes us feel better Call it love Do we tell the truth, do we live a lie? Is the feeling good, is that what makes you cry? When you say those words, look me in the eye Tell me why you call it love I've played my hand, you've called my bluff Refresh each other till we've had enough When it's all you've got, call it love If I didn't have money, would you want me still? When you look real close, do we fit the bill? Darling what you want Only time will tell Do we tell the truth, do we live a lie? Is the feeling good, is that what makes you cry? When you say those words, look me in the eye Tell me why you call it love We've got all night, let’s take our time Tell me your secret, I'll tell you mine If it makes us feel better call it love Mm call it love When it's all you've got call it love Mm call it love When it's all you've got call it love

Yeah, yeah Ah-ah-ah It's a whirlwind caught in an empty jar It steals your breath when you fall too hard It picks you up right off the ground And it tears you up when it lets you down And there ain’t nothin' you can do When love can be so cruel If your heart needs a hand (ooh ooh) A shoulder to cry on Someone who can understand And catch the tears as they fall down Oh, you know where I am If your heart needs a hand (Needs a hand, needs a hand) Yeah, yeah (Needs a hand, needs a hand) Don't blame yourself for what went wrong Sometimes you try, but you can't hold on There's no rule, no guarantee Then what you give you will receive And there ain’t nothin' you can do When love can be so cruel But if your heart needs a hand A shoulder to cry on Someone who can understand Catch the tears as they fall down Well you know where I am When your heart needs a hand Yeah, I know how you're feelin' 'Cause I've been there too You don't need an invitation I'll be here for you (Oh, yeah, I’ll be here) If your heart needs a hand (ooh ooh) A shoulder to cry on Someone who can understand Catch the tears as they fall down Well you know where I am If your heart needs a hand (Oh, yeah, we all need a hand sometimes) Reach out for me (Needs a hand, needs a hand) When your heart dies (Needs a hand, needs a hand) Everybody needs a hand (Needs a hand, needs a hand) Reach out for me (Needs a hand, needs a hand) Everybody needs a hand (Needs a hand, needs a hand) (Needs a hand, needs a hand) Just like Rusty said (Needs a hand, needs a hand) Don’t give up (Needs a hand, needs a hand) Everybody needs a hand Don’t give up Need a hand

She didn't leave a message She never said a word If there was something missing Well, I guess, I guess I never heard I couldn’t find the old me I must've lost that too It's funny how we always take for granted The one that sees us through And if our love was old hat It never felt that way It was a perfect fit We wore it every day Guess we outgrew it A little at a time Now that hat won't hold the tears that I cry This morning I woke up When the radio came on All alone in the darkness I heard that song It used to drive me crazy ‘Cause she always sang along Now there’s something missing Now there's something wrong If our love was old hat It never felt that way It was a perfect fit We wore it every day Guess we outgrew it A little at a time Now that hat won't hold the tears that I cry She didn't leave a message She never said a word

Roll along, roll on Rose of Cimarron Dusty days are gone now Rose of Cimarron Shadows touch the sand and Look to see who's standin' Waitin' at your window Watchin', will they ever show? Can you hear them callin'? You know they have fallen On campfires cold and dark Never see a spark burn bright Roll along, roll on Rose of Cimarron Dusty days are gone now Rose of Cimarron Trails that brought them home Echo names they've known Four days high and lonely Comin' to you only Well you're the one they turned to The only one they knew who'd do All her best to be around When the chips were down Roll along, roll on Rose of Cimarron Dusty days are gone Rose of Cimarron Hearts like yours belong Following the dawn Wrapped up in a song Rose of Cimarron Roll along, roll on Rose of Cimarron Dusty days are gone now Rose of Cimarron

So here we are So near so far With no illusions Only scars Now you can do What you always do Write your own version Of the truth Tell me what will you say when it all fades away And what you wanted is what you get Will you say it was fate and there was no escape Will you tell me there’s no regret Sometimes it hurts To see you fall Sometimes it doesn’t Hurt at all She builds you up Then tears you down You go round and Round and round Tell me what will you say when it all fades away And what you wanted is what you get Will you say it was fate and there was no escape Will you tell me there’s no regret Time and time and time again The song remembers when Why did you and I Let those days go by Tell me what will you say when it all fades away And what you wanted is what you get Will you say it was fate and there was no escape Will you tell me there’s no regret Will you tell me there’s no regret Will you tell me there’s no regret

Out in the night Lovers hold hands as they stake out the light Sirens scream as they rush out of sight We whisper plans And promise to love for as long as we can We'll make this night The night it began While we're still young While we're still young While we're still young Down on the street Strangers trade glances each time their eyes meet Neon lights come and dance to the beat We take it slow Wait for our song on the car radio Then sing along With the words that we know While we're still young While we're still young While we're still young So, take my hand (take my hand) And hold on tight We'll keep running through the night We may stand, we may fall The risk we take to change it all While we're still young While we're still young While we're still young Out in the night Strangers hold hands as they take out the fight Sirens scream as they rush out of sight We whisper plans And promise to give all the love that we have And hold this light (hold this light) Just as high as we can While we're still young While we're still young While we're still young

Tonight, I'm gonna break away Just to wait and see I've never been imprisoned by A faded memory Just when I think I'm over her This broken heart will mend I hear her name and I have to cry The tears come down again It happens all the time This crazy love of mine Wraps around my heart Refusing to unwind Ooh-ooh, crazy love, ah Count the stars in the summer sky That fall without a sound And then pretend that you can't hear These teardrops coming down It happens all the time This crazy love of mine Wrapped around my heart Refusing to unwind Ooh-ooh, crazy love, ah Tonight, I'm gonna break away Just to wait and see I've never been imprisoned by A faded memory It happens all the time This crazy love of mine Wraps around my heart Refusing to unwind Ooh-ooh, crazy love, ah Tonight, I'm gonna break away

lyrics
buy track
Where did the time go? How could it be so long ago? We remember it so well The stories we could tell Where did the time go? Where did the time go? To listen when the music softly calls you To dream beneath a rocky mountain sky Answerin’ the call from California You couldn’t let that chance just pass you by To cast off all the things your old life taught you To spend a lifetime living in a van To leave behind your home and take a highway It’s not a thing most people understand But where did the time go? How could it be so long ago? We remember it so well The stories we could tell Where did the time go? Where did the time go? When your life is still a story yet unwritten And your brothers take their place as family When the only thing that matters is the music It seems the future’s full of possibilities But the days will pass and disappear behind us And chances in the years will melt away But the song survives like lighting in a bottle That the crowds can sing back to you today Standing at the ending of the story The final words are written on the page Now your voice will let on this trail without you Though the strings last in silence on the stage But where did the time go? How could it be so long ago? We remember it so well The stories we could tell Where did the time go? Where did the time go? Where did the time go? Where did the time go?

about

My Friend: A Tribute to Rusty Young celebrates and highlights the legacy of Rusty Young, the late co-founder of country-rock band Poco. Plans for a tribute album were already underway before Young suddenly passed away on April 14, 2021. Unfortunately, Young was never able to hear the renditions of his iconic songs that were recorded by this talented group of artists. As Kirk Pasich, Blue Élan founder and the album’s producer comments in the album's liner notes, “Beginning in 2017, Rusty was, in many ways, the heart and soul of our label.”

Pasich goes on to explain the album process, “In putting this album together, we didn’t try to duplicate what Rusty did—the originals of those songs that he and Poco recorded will always be among my favorites and we saw no reason to clone them. Instead, we asked artists to pick the songs of Rusty’s that they’d like to record and to make them their own.”

Rusty Young California

In 1967, a young musician from Denver was invited to play steel guitar on what would become the final album by Buffalo Springfield. Soon after, he–along with Richie Furay, George Grantham and Jim Messina–would form the seminal West Coast country-rock band Poco. Over the next five decades, he became not only the musical core of the band, but also the writer and vocalist behind their multiple hits. ... more
