Salutations 03:06
Well you can call me shake me and wake me Leave me messages on my phone But you got a new boy living with you So tonight this boy ain’t home Yeah you said goodbye That I had mistreat you Still late in the night You beckon me home Salutations to you and your love too Salutations to you from me You never ran around with my money Cause I never had none to give We just lived on what we could hold on But now you’re holding on to him But all of the while You sit and you tease me But baby that’s fine I wish you the best Salutations to you and your love too Salutations to you from me Don’t you worry about me tonight I’m in good health amusing myself Don’t you worry about me tonight I’m having fun without anyone I’ll be alright tonight Salutations to you and your love too Salutations to you from me

Wasted Boys 03:39
The men my age without much thought Waste away what they have got But you can save it all for a rainy day Cause when it rains I’ll be sleeping anyway always But the wasted boys they’re only out for joys They’re getting laid now And all the smart young men they’re working late again Can’t get a date now Calling on the puppies Calling on the Night Anyone that can help me In having a good time But the wasted boys they’re only out for joys They’re getting laid now And all the smart young men they’re working late again Can’t get a date now And then the mom and dad ain’t seen their son around They thing he’s dying now But he ain’t raising hell yeah he just loves a gal For the first time now I said this whiskey tonight Got me feeling alright And I ain’t done nothing In a long long time To make you think that you might be mine But the wasted boys they’re only out for joys They’re getting laid now And all the smart young men they’re working late again Can’t get a date now And then the mom and dad ain’t seen their son around They thing he’s dying now But he ain’t raising hell yeah he just loves a gal For the first time now

Oh baby a sticky situation Got me so far from home Or maybe a frightening combination Of the fact that I don’t want to go And tell you that I love you dear But at the same time I don’t want you here You got to send me your love You got to send me your love You got to send me your love You got to send me your love You got to send me your love You got to send me your love You got to try At this time I don’t know what I am Don’t want to see you with another man But when we’re spending all our time together We’re like two ships out on the stormy weather And while I want to hear your voice today I want to hear it from miles away You got to send me your love You got to send me your love You got to send me your love You got to send me your love You got to send me your love You got to send me your love You got to try

Pacific Blue 03:50
Drag your feet Montana you got no place to be And save a spot at the dinner table for me For I’ll be passing through on my way to the sea The magical cliffs of the pacific blue So goodnight Vermont sleep silent in your bed I know we’ve left words unsaid And ten thousand books lay wait to be read But I leave tonight for the pacific blue So kiss your friends and cry goodbye but heed what I say We’ll find love along the way But it’s twice as hard to explain That you’re leaving to the girl who just took your heart away She could have been your wife one day So weep ye farmers of Dakota plains And curse you artists of Bloomington Hang your head on east bound trains So far from the Pacific Blue
5.
Call Me 03:22
You got to call me darling and give me something To let me know you love me love me so To let me know you love me so Girls on the road they want to play But your love’s been ringing in my ears all day You got to call me darling and give me something To let me know you love me love me so To let me know you love me so The boys want me to have a time But I been telling them that my love Is on the telephone line You got to call me darling and give me something To let me know you love me love me so To let me know you love me fine My baby love me fine
6.
Small Town 03:24
Cathrine and me at the lake with everyone that we knew She said she loved me but then what else could she do Because I know it’s not the choices we made That lead us here for heaven sake I know we’re only from a small town There ain’t much around Meet at my car after school yeah what should we do Lay in my arms it’d be cool just laying around Because I know it’s not the choices we made That lead us here for heaven sake I know we’re only from a small town There ain’t much around We’d smoke joints and listen to Minor Threat And everything seemed alright On your couch and kissing while your folks were out And everything seemed alright To me

I want to save you Irene I want to save you I want to save you Irene I want to save you In this little town all the boys are talking football The girls are talking gossip And now you’re just talking trouble I want to save you Irene I want to save you I want to save you Irene I want to save you Ladies here are lying just to hurt your reputation They don’t like that you’re making What they wish they could be making But you’ll come running away with me And they’ll be fast but they can not beat me So come away come away with me I want to save you Irene I want to save you I want to save you Irene I want to save you Girls all hate each other but now this is out of control You want to stay and fight them But we all just want to go go go go And you’ll come running away with me And they’ll be fast but they can not beat me So come away come away with me So come away come away with me So come away come away come away With me

Well the dancing’s barely started And the cops are at the door Bottle rockets in the yard, asking what are they for The kids are starting shit and it’s hard to ignore Well the punks are on the roof now Oh yeah! And somebody’s spilled the wine Oh no The record’s about to skip but it’s staying it time The girls they’ve got to piss so they’re waiting in line Happy Birthday to me and you Happy Birthday to me and you Happy Birthday to me and you Happy Birthday to me and you
9.
She 03:58
She, she said she’d stay over Cause she, she didn’t have a home And I, well I tried to impress her With my collection of books And I, was happy for once Yes I was And she, yes she danced with strangers Yes she, she loved everyone And I, knew she weren’t true Knew she couldn’t be true Yes I do But everybody's got someone they want To hang on to and find Her pride and past has proved you never could hold her It’s useless to try Still you’re along for the ride She said the city don’t suit her She said it all feels indoors And I, watched her move on Without a care and she’s gone Yes I do Watched her move on No goodbye no so long So long
10.
Radio High 04:26
As a boy I would sit in my room And listen to the radio TNT (Top Nine Tonight) we’d learn The biggest hits this country could hold Seattle sound would come raining on down Turning up the volume on my little town You know it’d Bring to mind that radio high With the waves passing by And the songs are swirling They’d go Hot 97 would start all the parties at night Home of Hip Hop and RnB CBS on the dial is the best For classics from the 60s If you really wanted To hear all the songs again dear You could buy them on an album Without the same feel It didn’t Bring to mind that radio high With the waves passing by And the songs are swirling They’d go And you could sing along To an oldies song All of the day it’s louie louie Then in the night Little Steven’s felt right Then in the night It’s coast to coast Bring to mind that radio high With the waves passing by And the songs are swirling Yeah it’d Bring to mind that radio high With the waves passing by And the songs are swirling Yeah it’d Bring to mind that radio high With the waves passing by
