Songs That Make a Difference The Highwaymen

[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
