Songs That Make a Difference Lyrics
(J.R. Cash)
Hey Babe, do you remember, back in 1969
We gathered round the room, you sang yours and I sang mine
We took turns with the guitar, in the front and centre seat
Shill and Kris and Dylan, and a couple of the street
Joni Mitchell cried, on both sides now
We sang songs that made a difference, and we can again, somehow
-Solo-
Everybody knew that this was quite a special night
Graeme Nash was nervous in the hot seat, in the light
Joe South was total magic, and we all walked in his shoes
Orbison and Rabbit cried and rocked the country blues
Dew Berry, San Francisco, Maybelle, Joy
We sang songs that made a difference, June was pregnant with my boy
Oh, I could make a livin', drivin' nails or drivin' trucks
Sleep beneath the bridge or in the streets, down on my lug
I'd stand the cold and hunger if they'd let me hear the songs
Everybody write one that us bums can sing along
Keep it from the heart and down to earth
Sing the songs that make a difference, give us all our money's worth
Hey, keep it from the heart and down to earth
Sing the songs that make a difference, give us all our money's worth
