Highwaymen - Songs That Make A Difference lyrics

[Verse] Hey Babe, do you remember Back in nineteen sixty-nine? We gathered round the room You sang yours and I sang mine We took turns with the guitar In the front and center seat Shel and Kris and Dylan And a couple off the street Joni Mitchell cried on, "Both Sides Now." We sang songs that made a difference And we can again somehow Everybody knew that this Was quite a special night Graham Nash was nervous In the hot seat, in the light Joe South was total magic And we all walked in his shoes Orbison and Rabbitt cried And they rocked the country blues Mickey Newbury's, "San Francisco Mabel Joy." We sang songs that made a difference June was pregnant with my boy Oh, I could make a living Driving nails or driving trucks Sleep beneath the bridge Or in the streets, down on my luck [Willie Nelson] I'd stand the cold and hunger If they'd let me hear the songs Everybody write one That us bums can sing along [Kris Kristofferson] Keep it from the heart and down to earth Sing the songs that make a difference Give us all our money's worth [Chorus] Hey, Keep it from the heart and down to earth Sing the songs that make a difference Give us all our money's worth
