(gentle bluesy music) (gentle bluesy music) She wasn't always at the top of the class But that was a hump she got over, oh yeah After hours as they dug through the trash Looking for the key to the motor Gone the long way for the sake of the road But never had a shoulder to cry on, oh no She knew if she took it where the fault lines erode There'd be no lack of hills to die on (bluesy rock music) Then she found out serendipitously What follows relief (bluesy rock music) Just beyond the most precipitously A great barrier grief, yeah (bluesy rock music) She didn't always have her foot on the gas She had a little weakness for dancing, oh yeah And a monkey in the small of her back Holding all her humor for ransom But she knew that in the back of her mind She had a little safety release valve, oh yeah When she pulled it, man, she almost went blind But her eyes were wide open Then that feeling on the tip of her tongue Got stuck in her teeth (bluesy rock music) Searching for the wreck that hardship becomes On the great barrier grief (bluesy rock music) Then she found out serendipitously What follows relief (bluesy rock music) Just beyond the most ubiquitously Great barrier grief, yeah (bluesy rock music) Yeah, yeah, yeah (bluesy rock music) Yeah, yeah, yeah (bluesy rock music) Yeah, yeah, yeah (bluesy rock music) Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (bluesy rock music) (audience cheering) - Thank you so much.

- (audience member) Whoo!

(gentle rock music) (gentle rock music) I picked up cold when I was on my way I lost control, I need a driver On the one hand, there is the sum of my fears On the other hand, there's a fighter I kept a token of my gratitude I'm gonna need it for the fire I know it's not enough to keep me warm But it's gonna have to do Something always brings me back to you Something always brings me back to you Lights down low All I know I can't take it anymore Round and round, it's just a game You walked right through the silver screen to me (gentle rock music) (gentle rock music) I sent a message to you in LA It must have never been delivered Well, me, myself, and I remain the same Like an anchor Something always brings me back to you Something always brings me back to you Lights down low All I know I can't take it anymore Round and round, it's just a game You walked right through the silver screen to me (gentle rock music) Oh yeah It's just a game, just a game Right through the silver screen (gentle rock music) (gentle rock music) (cheering and applause) - We've got a couple more songs for you.

Thank you for hanging with us.

(jazzy rock music) (jazzy rock music) Glad it's good to see me It's good to see you too I know it's been a couple of years Since we sat down and took off our shoes I'd love to buy you breakfast Or maybe a glass of wine And take a walk down memory lane Through the ravages of time Somewhere down this dusty road We lost all our heart and soul But now we're back in the same room You're looking good as hell That little bit of gray in your beard Really serves you well You always was an old soul But now you're just plain old Buddy, I'll be part of you Until your blood runs cold, whoa (soulful rock music) (soulful rock music) Somewhere down this dusty road We lost all our heart and soul Somewhere down this dusty road We lost all our heart Oh, yes, we did And soul... (applause and cheering) (gentle tone) Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ahhh ahhh... ahhh ahhh... ahhh ahhh... (gentle rock music) I wanna love you, but I know ya too well Only thing I wanna ask you Is did it hurt when you fell Off of your high horse and hit the underground That must have been a funny sound (jazzy rock music) So now you wander through this liminal world (la-la-la) Full of messengers and flunkies And keep on clutchin' your pearls (oo, ooo) And wishin' on every god forsaken star I'm sure that's gon' getcha real far (gentle rock music) But I wanna help you I know that's hard to believe, man I wanna dispel those horse-drawn fantasies Just when you think that I been wastin' your sweet time Oh You'll start to movin' Then you'll start to groovin' Then you'll start to hear the sound Then you'll start believin' Then you'll stop deceivin' Then you'll try to bring me down But I'll always be Your man on the inside I'll always be The one you can confide in (gentle rock music) Oh yeah (jazzy rock music) Yeah Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ahhh, ahhh... ahhh, ahhh... ahhh, ahhh... (gentle rock music) You always knew the better end of the deal (la-la-la) Even ironed out the curtain And set the scene that you'd steal You cut all the corners, hit an artery Bled out, and broke the lottery (jazzy rock music) Still I wanna help you I know that's hard to believe, man Wanna dispel those punch-drunk fantasies Just when you think that I been wastin' your sweet time Oh Then you'll start to movin' Then you'll start to groovin' Then you'll start to hear the sound Then you'll start believin' Then you'll stop deceivin' Then you'll try to bring me down But I'll always be Your man on the inside I'll always be The one you can confide in I'll always be Your man on the inside Yes, I will I'll always be The one you can confide in Oh yeah (jazzy rock music) (jazzy rock music) (upbeat jazzy rock music) (upbeat jazzy rock music) (audience cheering) - [Daniel] Thank you so much.
