Songs That Make a Difference

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 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

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 they rocked the country blues

New Berry, San Francisco, Maybelle, Joy

We sang songs that made a difference

June was pregnant with my boy

I could make a livin' drivin' nails or drivin' trucks

Sleep beneath the bridge or in the streets, down on my luck

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
