Down the Road

Davenport Family Jam

Since I Fell For You

Ever since the day my poor life first began
They say I gotta be a man
Boy you gotta be a man
You gotta slave away like bacon in a frying pan
If you want to be a man
Well I don’t want to be a man

‘Cause I’m a boy, I’m a boy
I’m a wonderful bundle of joy
And it feels so good
It feels so right
I’ll be a boy my whole life

Cash in hand, on demand
I got the world in the palm of my hand
It’s ecstasy just being me
You’re never gonna understand 

Lucky me, lucky you
What a very lucky thing to do
‘Cause to be a boy is to be in love with you

Back in 1985
The world is young and so am I
Daddy says that boys don’t cry
As the tears fall from my eyes
Then I heard the word on the radio
The word is good the word is rock and roll

X and why?
Just because
It’s a thunderous wondrous buzz
So be a boy and you’ll always be in love

(Piano/Organ solo)

Good Boys Do Fine

This old boy has a plan
I’d rather die than be a man
I’ll drink my cup and when I’ve had enough
I’m heading to the promised land

Lucky me, lucky you
What a very lucky thing to do
‘Cause to be a boy is to be in love with... 
 To be a boy is to be in love with...
To be a boy is to be in love with you  
And you
And you

Wayfaring Stranger

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
travelin' through this world of woe
ain't no sickness toil nor danger
in that bright world to which I go
I'm going there to see my father
I'm going there no more to roam
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm going home I'm going home

I know dark clouds will gather o'er me
I know my pathway's rough and steep
But golden fields lie out before me
Where weary eyes no more shall weep
I'm going there to see my mother
She said she'd meet me when I come
I'm just going over Jordan
I'm going home I'm going home

I'll soon be free of every trial
this form shall rest beneath the sod;
I'll drop the cross of self denial
and enter in my home with God;
I'm going there to see my father
I'm going home no more to roam;
I am going over Jordan
I'm going home I'm going home.
