BILOXI
I went through,
Old Baton Rouge,
Biloxi, Mississippi,
Was where I's bound.
On the seashore,
And there's lots more,
It's a lovely place to sit around,
And drink your tea.
Chorus
I love it here, on the seashore,
Sandy beaches I can walk down in the afternoon,
I like it here, in Biloxi,
And I never want to go.
A lovely graveyard,
Green-cut front yards,
Biloxi, Mississippi
Is a lovely place,
Baptist preacher,
English teacher,
Get along together
In the summertime.
(Chorus)
A glass of iced tea,
A Southern beauty,
Make a summer's afternoon,
Go slippin' by,
A tire swing,
All the birds sing,
Summer on the seashore,
Is a good old time.
(Chorus)

NOVEMBER MORNING
On a cold November morning,
I gave up all I had,
With just my lonely freedom,
I pushed on, feelin' bad,
The wind was quick to take me,
But I was quite alone,
When you're on the highway
You haven't got a home.
Chorus
November morning,
November morning.
Even in this sadness,
There was no burden there,
No ties to quickly bind me,
No laughter in the air,
The rain that fell around me,
Chilled me to the bone,
When you're on the highway
You haven't got a home.
(Chorus)
You live the life you choose,
And facing up the truth,
I had my freedom still,
The fountain of my youth,
The rain that fell around me,
Just chilled me to the bone,
When you're on the highway
You haven't got a home.
(Chorus)

WHEN WE WERE KINGS
Where does life go once it's happened,
When we were kings,
The world went by like heaven,
Often we smiled
At things we both envisioned
Chorus
We laughed at the days,
They flew past our windows,
When we were kings,
We laughed at the shadows.
When we were light,
The world seemed so forgiving,
Often a smile,
A life spent in the living.
(Chorus)
Bridge
Where does life go once its happened,
While we wait for years to pass us by.
(Chorus)
When we were young,
A flame we must remember
Always a smile
Against the dying embers
(Chorus)

JOANIE'S GETTIN' DARK
Joan's so dark,
An eclipse of the sun,
The damage is done,
It's a waste of time.
The last train's leavin',
She's takin' a ride,
Nowhere to hide,
She just won't be mine.
Chorus
The sky turns grey,
There's rain in the park,
Now the sun won't stay,
And Joanie's gettin' dark.
Joan's so dark,
There's a storm on the rise,
A flash in your eyes,
And I'm left behind.
The clouds roll in,
Now they're here to stay,
No other way,
She just won't be mine.
(Chorus)
Joan's so dark,
There's night over town,
The sun goes down,
She just won't be kind.
The last light fading
From her headlight shine,
It's a waste of time,
She just won't be mine.
(Chorus)
