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
