Austin City Limits

-"Austin City Limits" presents an all-time Austin City Limits favorite -- the legendary Bonnie Raitt, with special guest Sunny War.

- Have a heart Have a heart If you don't love me, why don't you let me go?

Getaway wheels in a straight line Serenade of a made-up mind [ Cheers and applause ] -Recorded live from the Moody Theater, it's "Austin City Limits."

-Now multiple Grammy Award winner and an American original, Bonnie Raitt.

- It starts out slow Go ahead and go Pretty soon, the melody Is like a rainstorm tin roof symphony But it starts out slow It goes on and on For way too long Always ends on a bad note If you dance at all, you'd dance alone It goes on and on The quiet behind a slamming door The break of a heart that won't break no more Getaway wheels in a straight line Serenade of a made-up mind There ain't no rhyme Just wasted time Oh, moonlight, spotlight shining down On a made-up mind and a love gone wrong There ain't no rhyme The quiet behind a slamming door Break of a heart that won't break no more Getaway wheels in a straight line Serenade of a made-up mind Quiet behind a slamming door Break of a heart that won't break no more The getaway wheels are in a straight line Serenade of a made-up mind I got a made-up mind Moonlight, spotlight shining down On a made-up mind and a love gone wrong Moonlight, spotlight shining down On a made-up mind and a love gone wrong Moonlight, spotlight shining down On a made-up mind and a love gone wrong [ Cheers and applause ] Thank you, Austin!

[ Cheers and applause ] How's everybody doing tonight?

[ Cheers and applause ] To "Austin City Limits" for putting people like John Prine and John Hiatt and me on the map.

Here's "No Business."

Yes, I'm lonely, hope you don't catch it Don't want to be down where I last behaved I broke his heart, now I cannot patch it This time, it's grave I kept track of all that love that I gave him And on paper, well, it looked pretty good He kept a note, said he couldn't stay here As if I could I guess my love's got no business No business calling his name I guess my love's got no business No business, nobody to blame One of these days, I thought we'd get it together After all, that boy was made for me All he left me was a mouth full of feathers Little bird got free He always said my love was one-sided I tried to keep up with supply and demand There was one way that pie was divided A big piece plan I guess my love's got no business No business calling his name I guess my love's got no business No business, nobody to blame I'm getting desperate, baby, I'm getting illegal I got a law doggy on my tail The hawk's out and I could use an eagle To go my bail You say you're itching, baby, go ahead and scratch it But if it jumps off, don't you look at me I swore to God, honey, I couldn't catch it But that dog's got fleas I guess my love's got no business No business calling his name I guess my love's got no business No business, nobody [ Cheers and applause ] We're gonna do another song off the new record.

It's my favorite one.

I always say, if we got along, I wouldn't have anything to sing about.

[ Laughter ] [ "Blame It On Me" plays ] Blame it on me Hold up my faults For all to see Truth is love's first casualty So blame it on me Blame it on me Oh, it's not the way love's supposed to be But how can you so casually Blame it on me?

Blame it on stars Shining like headlights From a million cars Strung like jewels from here to Mars Blame it on stars Blame it on time The fugitive A vagabond, it's the perfect crime Poured like sand through your hands and mine Blame it on time How can you talk that way You just turn around and you, you walk away Your words, they sting so heartlessly So go ahead and be free Blame it all on me But one summer night When my door is open And the moon is new Some sad melody will come streaming through My heart should break in two If my heart should break in two Oh, baby Ooh Oh, baby, I'm gonna blame it on you [ Applause ] [ Cheers and applause ] Glenn Patscha on B-3.

[ Applause ] I'm really, really happy to be able to introduce someone who I just met today but I'm a big fan of.

Won't you welcome to the stage Sunny War?

All right!

[ Cheers and applause ] We're gonna do a song we just worked up for this show.

We're gonna sing this Jackson Browne song for you.

[ Cheering ] [ "World in Motion" plays ] [ Cheering ] Sun going down on the USA Down on main, there's a family sleeping in a doorway Around the corner, you can hear the sound People dancing around the golden calf Those who have not, those who have [ Cheering ] - On the billboards and the TV screens They got food and cars, toys and trucks and jeans Like a homeless child's fitful dreams Smiling faces free from wanting Life's abundances beyond counting [ Cheering ] - World in motion Speed your changes Close your distances Drive your angels Lose your fears and meet your dangers World in motion - Once we were running through smoke and fire Running into the sun - In the rush of youth, for love and truth Our deeds were done Now we awake with a world at stake And a race we run - We run - Sun going down on the USA Sun coming up a hundred years away - On another world and another time Things like hunger, greed, and hatred One way or another - Gonna be eradicated World in motion Speed your changes Close your distances Drive your angels Lose your fears and meet your dangers World in motion - Till the world I'm looking at This world and see Is a world I know this world can be Ooh You have a volunteer in me Come on - Everybody, come on - Everybody, come on - Everybody, come on [ Cheers and applause ] -Sunny War!

[ Cheers and applause ] Jackson Browne!

Welcome back on the stage for the rest of the show our longtime wonderful guitar player, George Marinelli.

[ Applause ] This is called "I'm Livin' for the Ones Who Didn't Make It."

I can barely raise my head off the pillow Some days I never get out of bed I wake up with the best of intentions And then shuck it instead I don't think we'll get back how we use to No use in tryin' to measure the loss We're gonna just get used to it And damn the cost Go ahead and ask me How I make it through Only way I know is to keep livin' for the ones - Ones who didn't make it - Livin' for the ones - Ones who didn't make it - Livin' for the ones - Ones who didn't make it - Livin' for the ones I'm livin' for the ones who didn't make it Cut down through no fault of their own Just keep 'em in mind, all the chances denied When you ever start to bitch and moan Just remember the ones who won't ever Feel the sun on their faces again Watch their grandkids collide Let it break you inside Maybe this'll be the way we mend Go ahead and ask me How I make it through Only way I know is Keep livin' for the ones - Ones who didn't make it - I'm gonna live for the ones - Ones who didn't make it - Livin' for the ones - Ones who didn't make it - Let's keep livin' for the ones [ Cheers and applause ] George Marinelli!

[ Cheering ] I've been wanting to sing this for "Austin City Limits" for a while.

30 years later and counting.

I ain't afraid of getting older.

I'm just welcoming the wisdom and the appreciation of every single minute that's coming with this time.

[ Cheers and applause ] For those of you youngsters out there, don't you worry about a thing.

Just dig the ride, baby.

[ "Nick of Time" plays ] - Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh - A friend of mine cries at night Calls me on the phone Sees babies everywhere she goes And she wants one of her own - Ooh ooh ooh ooh - She's waited long enough, she says Still, he can't decide - Ooh ooh ooh ooh - Pretty soon, she'll have to choose It's tearing her up inside 'Cause she's scared She's scared to run out of time I saw my folks getting on Watched their bodies change - Ooh ooh ooh ooh - I know they saw the same in me Makes us both feel strange - Ooh ooh ooh ooh - No matter how you tell yourself What we all go through - Ooh ooh ooh ooh - Those lines get pretty hard to take When they're staring back at you Oh, baby We're scared to run out of time When did the choices get so hard With so much more at stake?

- Ooh - My life got mighty precious When I had less of it to waste Whoa whoa Ooh Scared you'll run out of time Just when I thought I'd had enough And all my tears were shed - Ooh ooh ooh ooh - No promise left unbroken No painful word No painful word unsaid Come along and showed me I could leave it all behind - Ooh ooh ooh ooh - You opened up my heart, baby Oh, and much to my surprise I found love Love in the nick of time - Love in the nick of time - I found my love - Love in the nick of time - In the nick of time - Love in the nick of time - I found love, baby Right in the nick of time Oh oh oh - Ooh ooh ooh ooh - Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh - Ooh ooh ooh ooh - Found your love, little baby Found your love And I'm never gonna give it up Ooh, oh, oh, no - Ooh ooh ooh ooh [ Cheers and applause ] -A bunch of soulful guys I got up here.

Gonna do another song from "Nick of Time."

[ Cheering ] By my friend Bonnie Hayes.

Here we go.

[ "Have a Heart" plays ] Hey!

Shut up Don't lie to me You think I'm blind, I got eyes to see Hey!

Mister, how do you do?

Oh, pardon me, I thought I knew you Would you stand back, baby, I want to get a better look You big man who couldn't handle That little bit of love you took Hey, hey, have a heart Have a heart If you don't love me, why don't you let me go?

Have a heart, please Oh, don't you have a heart?

Little by little, you fade and I fall apart Ooh, baby, I love you so I told you yes It come back no Oh, my baby How can you say You should be free I'm the one to pay?

You talk and talk about you and what you need But sooner or later, that love is gonna make you bleed Hey, hey, have a heart Have a heart If you don't love me, why don't you let me go?

Have a heart, please Little by little, you fade and I fall apart Talk on, talk on, but love is what you need Sooner or later, that love is gonna make you bleed Hey, hey, have a heart Have a heart If you don't love me, why don't you let me go?

Have a heart, please Little by little, you fade and I fall apart [ Cheers and applause ] [ "You Got the Love" plays ] Love me right What's the matter with you?

Hold me tight Why must I tell you what to do?

Smiling, smiling Comes as no surprise Smiling ain't hiding What I see in your eyes The story goes so much deeper Than the eye can see Yeah Stop runnin' a game I can tell you're avoiding me Whoa, there ain't nothin' I wouldn't pay To hear you Hear you say, yeah - I love you I need you You got the love To give me the strength To keep on living Whatever it is I can't do without it What ya give me Nowhere on earth for your heart to hide Once love comes sneakin' up on your blind side You might as well Stop this rain Stand in the track of a runaway train Just can't fight it when a thing is meant to be, yeah Come on, let's finish what you started with me Don't worry, baby, it ain't nothin' new That's just love sneakin' up on you The whole world is shakin', feel like I do That's just love sneakin' up on You got the love To give me the strength To keep on living Whatever it is I can't do without it What ya give me [ Cheers and applause ] This is a song of mine that I wrote inspired by singing "Angel from Montgomery" every night.

[ Cheers and applause ] Every night since I met John Prine back in 1971 and we became as tight as Becky and Tom Sawyer for... Just thought we would be sailing off into our elder years.

And, sadly, when we lost John, it just pierced me so deep.

I put the music to this song that I had started to play for John.

And then he passed, and I put the words with the music listening to him in my heart and soul.

This is for John.

[ "Just Like That" plays ] I watched him walk around the block Finally stopped at mine Took a while before he knocked Like all he had was time "Excuse me, ma'am, maybe you can help The directions weren't so clear I'm looking for Olivia Zand They said I might find her here" Well, I looked real hard and asked him What she's got he's looking for He said, "There's somethin' I think she'd want to know" And I let him in the door And it's not like me to trust so quick He caught me by surprise But somethin' about him gave me ease Right there in his eyes And just like that your life can change If I hadn't looked away My boy might still be with me now He'd be 25 today No knife can carve away the stain And no drink can drown regret They say Jesus brings you peace and grace Well, he ain't found me yet Na, na, na, na, na Na, na, na, na, na Na, na, na-na-na, na He sat down and took a deeper breath Then he looked right in my face He said, "I heard about the son you lost How he left without a trace I've spent years just trying to find you So I could finally let you know It was your son's heart that saved me A life you gave us both" And just like that, your life can change Look what the angels sent I lay my head upon his chest I was with my boy again I lived so long in darkness I never thought the night could end But it looks like grace has found me I had to let it in Na, na, na, na, na Na, na, na, na, na Na, na, na-na-na, na Na, na, na, na, na Ohh, na, na Na, na, na-na-na, na Na, na, na, na, na Na, na, na, na, na Na, na, na-na-na, na Na, na, na, na, na Ohh, na Na, na, na-na-na, na [ Cheers and applause ] Thank you.

Thank you for coming to see us.

We're gonna do this shuffle blues song in honor of one of the greatest blues towns in America -- Austin, Texas!

[ Cheers and applause ] Baby, never make your move too soon!

[ "Never Make Your Move Too Soon" plays ] Three days of snow in Birmingham Bet you wondering where I am Rang our number all night long Got no comfort on my telephone Well, I then caught me a midnight flight Thought a little love would make it all alright The landlord said you moved away You left me all of your bills to pay Look out, little baby Believe you might have made that move too soon Well, you left me with a little Keno card Life up in Reno, honey, ain't too hard Ran it up about fifty grand Cashed it in, I held that money in my hand That kind of word gonna get around Make this lost love come up found I hear you knockin', baby, at my door Too bad, honey, you don't live here no more You know what, darling?

Believe you might have made that move too soon Alright, Glenn Patscha!

Well, I've been from Spain to Tokyo From Africa to up in Ohio I never tried to make 'em lose I'm up here, baby, trying to sing these blues I get my lovin' everywhere I come back to town, you still care One love ahead, one love behind One in my bed, I got another one on my mind You know what, baby?

I never make my One thing, baby I never make One thing, baby I never make that move too soon [ Finale plays ] [ Song ends ] [ Cheers and applause ] Thank you, Austin!

Thank you, Austin City Limits!

[ Cheers and applause ] - Just can't fight it when a thing is meant to be, yeah Come on, let's finish what you started with me Don't worry, baby, it ain't nothin' new That's just love sneakin' up on you The whole world is shakin', feel like I do That's just love sneakin' up on
