I’m standing in the rain
Looking for a ride
But no-one’s slowing down
I been out here half the night
I’m looking for my sunshine
But the sky is coming down
I’m trying to be nobody’s fool
But I’ve been everybody’s clown
She said she don’t want no dreamer
She made it sound so bad
She took me down to the courthouse
She Wanted everything I had
I’m looking for my sunshine
But the sky is coming down
I’m trying to be nobody’s fool
But I’ve been everybody’s clown
Well I heard she got some power
But it all went to her head
I hear the words you’ve spoken
There’s no truth to what you said

My Fathers Son
I got up this morning my life was on the run
I got up this morning my life was on the run
But I’m not worried, cos I’m my Father’s son
When I was a boy, I couldn’t put the guitar down
When I was a boy, I couldn’t put the guitar down
I couldn’t help it, I just love the sound
They call Dad the maestro, I’ll be a Maestro too
They call Dad the maestro, I’m happy to walk in his shoes
I got my Daddy's hands
And my Daddy's attitude
I’ve had my share of women who don’t understand
I’ve had my fill of gals who don’t understand
But when they can’t thrill me
My guitar always can

Home Cooking
Too much coffee in the afternoon
.
I know I won’t sleep tonight
So much jive is going ‘round in my head
It’s making me all uptight
I need some real home cooking
So take me back home again.
Life can be crazy, that’s for sure
Sometimes I don’t know what to do
But you still gotta live, still gotta love
You gotta make a little music too.
I need some real home cooking
So take me back home again.
I went down to St Kilda,
I was eating French toast
But it just didn’t hit the spot
I drove over to Richmond
I bought some Indian food
but
It came out a little too hot
I need some real home cooking
So take me back home again.

Take the Blues Train
I’m gonna take the train, I’m gonna ride it all night long
I’m gonna take the train, I’m gonna ride it all night long
And like an old steam train, soon my blues will all be gone
I’m gonna leave the city, well you know that can’t be wrong
I’m gonna leave the city, well you know that can’t be wrong
You gonna think I’m out of my head
I’m gonna get drunk with Hugo T Armstrong
I’m gonna take the train !
And ride it all night long.
I’m gonna blow off steam, and dance like I don’t care.
I’m gonna blow off steam, I’m gonna dance like I don’t care.
You gonna think I’m crazy when I burn my rocking chair
I’m gonna take the train !
And ride it all night long.

The Golden Rule. © Jimi Hocking
Little Isabelle, she wanna’ shake something down
She got some brand new toys, she wanna show em’ around
And someone told me once a little ain’t enough
You’re gonna need a lot more if the going gets tough
Still you’re better off alive than you would be dead
So keep your shoes on your feet and keep your hat on your head
That boy from East St Kilda, he’s always driving too fast
He’s always in a race, he never wanna come last
Don’t wanna be the one to say you gotta slow down
But if you want some trouble man there’s plenty around
Still you’re better off alive than you would be dead
So keep your shoes on your feet and keep your hat on your head
So if you’re going crazy and you’re climbing the walls
You know the higher you climb, the harder you fall
You got some problems at home, a little trouble at work
Because your partner is a martyr and the boss is a jerk
Still you’re better off alive than you would be dead
So keep your shoes on your feet and keep your hat on your head
So keep your shoes on your feet
And keep your hat on your head
Just keep your shoes on your feet
And keep your hat on your head
