(WISH I COULD) HIDEAWAY

CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL

Howdy, friend, beggin' your pardon,


Is there somethin' on your mind?
You've gone and sold all your belongings,
Is that something in your eye?

Well, I know you really never


Liked the way it all goes down;
Go on, hideaway.

What's that you say?


We're all bound for the graveyard;
Oooh, I wish you well.
Think it's gonna rain,
Oh, what's the diff'rence,
Is there some way I can help?

'cause you know, I’m gonna miss you


When you're gone, oh, lord,
Wish I could hideaway

Hold on, give yourself a chance,


I can hear the leavin' train.

All aboard! goodbye goodbye, goodbye!


Oooh, I wish you well.
See you soon, maybe tomorrow.
You can never tell;

"Cause you know, I’m gonna miss you


When you're gone, oh,
Wish I could hideaway

Hideaway hideaway,
Hideaway, hideaway,
Hideaway, hideaway,
Hideaway, hideaway.
WONDERFUL WORLD

Don't know much about history 


Don't know much biology 
Don't know much about a science book 
Don't know much about the French I took 

But I do know that I love you 


And I know that if you love me too 
What a wonderful world this would be 

Don't know much about geography 


Don't know much trigonometry 
Don't know much about algebra 
Don't know what a slide rule is for 

But I do know one and one is two 


And if this one could be with you 
What a wonderful world this would be 

Now I don't claim, to be an A-student 


But I'm trying to be 
For maybe by being an A-student, baby 
I could win your love for me 

Don't know much about history 


Don't know much biology 
Don't know much about a science book 
Don't know much about the French I took 

History…Biology…. 
Science book…. 
French I took… Yeah: 

But I do know one and one is two 


And if this one could be with you … 

What a wonderful world this would be. 


A CHANGE IS GONNA COME
SAM COOKE

I was born by the river in a little tent


Oh and just like the river I've been running ever since
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

It's been too hard living but I'm afraid to die


Cause I don't know what's up there beyond the sky
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

I go to the movie and I go downtown.


Somebody keep telling me don't hang around
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will

Then I go to my brother.
And I say brother help me please.
But he winds up knockin' me
Back down on my knees

There been times that I thought I couldn't last for long


But now I think I'm able to carry on
It's been a long, a long time coming
But I know a change gonna come, oh yes it will
IN THE GHETTO

As the snow flies


on a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
a poor little baby child is born
in the ghetto
and his mama cries
'cause if there's one thing that she don't need
it's another hungry mouth to feed
in the ghetto
people, don't you understand
the child needs a helping hand
or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day
take a look at you and me,
are we too blind to see,
do we simply turn our heads
and look the other way
well the world turns
and a hungry little boy with a runny nose
plays in the street as the cold wind blows
in the ghetto
and his hunger burns
so he starts to roam the streets at night
and he learns how to steal
and he learns how to fight
in the ghetto
then one night in desperation
a young man breaks away
he buys a gun, steals a car,
tries to run, but he don't get far
and his mama cries
as a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man
face down on the street with a gun in his hand
in the ghetto
as her young man dies,
on a cold and gray Chicago mornin',
another little baby child is born
in the ghetto

WHEEL IN THE SKY

Winter is here again oh lord,


Haven’t been home in a year or more
I hope she holds on a little longer

sent a letter on a long summer day


made of silver, not of clay
i've been runnin' down this dusty road

Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'


i don't know where i'll be tomorrow
wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'

I've been trying to make it home


got to make it before too long
i can't take this very much longer

i'm stranded in the sleet and rain


don't think i'm ever gonna make it home again
the mornin' sun is risin'
it's kissin the day

Oh the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'


i dont' know where i'll be tomorrow
ooo the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
