2) Life’s Way 4:54

Written by Kevin McCoy and David Cooper 

(1919-1929)

Headin’ out West, got to do what’s best for my family 

Time to move on, ‘cause one is gone, It’s a long day 

Tell me, which is the right way 

New York City just ain’t my dream, it’s a cold place 

This trains leavin’, but I’m still breathin’ like a young man 

Time to settle down, when my feet hit the ground 

 It’s a long road 

No lookin’ back ‘cause there’s no more track, 

Just a hot sun 

War is over for the unknown soldier, it’s a tough love 

Just this time hope it works out fine, 

That’s the right play 

Give me, Give me a new start 

It’s easy to see, that your life includes me, It’s a new way 

Journey never ends, still I call you my friend 

That’s just our way 

Berkeley never rests, ‘cause your mind protests 

It’s a new day 

That’s just Life’s Way

3) Old County Road 2:36

Written by Kevin McCoy and David Cooper 

(1929-1939) 

Take a left at the Golden Gate 

Down a street called Haight 

Out past the Avenues 

Next to the ocean views 

Something pulls me out of the city 

South of the Highway, where neon meets gritty 

Got to get back to the life on Old County Road 

On Old County Road On Old County Road 

On Old County Road 

Headin’ south on Market Street 

My heart skips a beat 

I love to feel this way, outside the foggy bay 

Something pulls me out of the city 

South of the Highway, where neon meets gritty 

Got to get back to the life on Old County Road 

On Old County Road 

I feel the breeze 

The smell of the trees 

I see your smile 

I’m yours for awhile 

Something pulls me out of the city 

South of the Highway, where neon meets gritty 

Got to get back to the life on Old County Road 

On Old County Road 

On Old County Road 

On Old County Road

4) American Gun 3:24

Written by Kevin McCoy and David Cooper

(1939-1949)

Nowhere to hide, always on the run 

Every day we’re seein’ a darkened sun 

Not much to do when the day was done 

When you’re starin’ down the barrel 

Of an American Gun 

An American Gun 

Navy blues back in ’42 put my Father at sea 

Panama is what he saw on a ship called Liberty 

Hat’s off to the Greatest Generation 

The one’s we never knew 

Comin’ home to a united nation 

The rest is up to me and you 

Shootin’ an American Gun 

Shootin’ an American Gun 

Not much fun, but we knew we won 

Just by shootin’ an American Gun 

Not much fun, but we knew we won 

Just by shootin’ an American Gun 

An American Gun

5) Ain’t Life Grand 3:51

Written by Kevin McCoy and John Shepard   

(1949-1959)

I just want to drive 

I just want to drive 

Feelin’ the sun, makes me come alive 

Seein’ you sittin’ next to me 

I’m diggin’ life and feelin’ free 

Ain’t Life Grand 

Ain’t Life Grand, Ain’t Life Grand, Ain’t Life Grand 

Your comic books and good girl looks, just right for ‘53 

Poodle skirts and greasy shirts 

There’s nothin’ we can’t be 

Losin’ and winnin’, shoutin’ and grinnin’ 

The open road is just beginnin’ 

Ain’t Life Grand, Ain’t Life Grand, Ain’t Life Grand 

Ain’t Life Grand, Ain’t Life Grand, Ain’t Life Grand 

Stayin’ in a motel room, just to get away 

Makes me feel like Kerouac, if only for the day 

Get yourself a new car, grab the keys you’ll go far 

Sing a song, come along, you can be the next star 

Ain’t Life Grand, Ain’t Life Grand, Ain’t Life Grand 

 Some like it hot, if you’re ready or not 

Just leave it up to me 

Cruisin’ and ginnin’, fightin’ and sinnin’ 

The culture wars are just beginnin’ 

One for the money, two for the show 

Just be ready and Go Go Go 

Ain’t Life Grand, Ain’t Life Grand,

6) Rain 3:52

Written by Kevin McCoy and David Cooper 

(1959-1969) 

Rain falls when your love calls 

You leave me feelin’ blind 

Close your eyes and visualize the truth 

Rain fall come crashin’ down 

Just like your tears that fall 

So close your eyes, and visualize tomorrow 

So close your eyes, and visualize tomorrow 

No more rain let’s play the game 

Lovin’ you doesn’t feel the same 

So close your eyes and visualize tomorrow 

So close your eyes and visualize tomorrow 

So close your eyes and visualize tomorrow

7) Get-away 4:10

Written by Kevin McCoy and John Shepard  

(1969-1979)

You’re only as good as the horse that you ride 

If I ask you a question, I know that you lied 

Keep your eyes toward the skies, 

Don’t ever compromise 

I’m movin’ on before it’s too late 

I won’t forget the love or remember the hate 

I’m movin’ on before it’s too late 

Gotta get away, Gotta get away, Gotta get away 

You’re like a bird without wings 

A kite without strings 

Like a man with no soul, sinkin’ down a deep dark hole 

If you’re losin’ and winnin’ 

It’s like you’re always just beginnin’ 

Yeah, I’m movin’ on before it’s too late 

I won’t forget the love or remember the hate 

Yeah, I’m movin’ on before it’s too late 

Gotta get away, Yeah Gotta get away, Gotta get away 

I’m catchin’ the next ride out of this town, 

Waitin’ for you is just slowin’ me down 

I can’t wait for the sound of my feet on the ground 

Yeah, I’m movin’ on before it’s too late 

I won’t forget the love or remember the hate 

Yeah, I’m movin’ on before it’s too late 

Gotta get away, Gotta get away

8) The Avenues 4:04

Written by Kevin McCoy and David Cooper

(1979-1989)

Walkin’ down the avenues all I think about is you, 

Know why, it’s true, every night, every afternoon 

Just want to hear your voice 

Don’t want to leave right now 

Talkin’ with you always feels brand new 

Been working all day, that’s okay 

Night time comes, be on my way 

In the mornin’ I’ll be by your side 

‘Cause I know you’ll get me through the night 

Come the mornin’ light, bein’ with you 

Makes me feel everything’s alright 

I’ve been driving in my car 

Looking at that morning star 

Reminds me of you 

What we went through 

Looking forward to tomorrow Looking forward to tomorrow 

Don’t have to beg or borrow, Don’t have to beg or borrow 

‘Cause Life is Fine 

So Glad you’re Mine 

Walking down the Avenues 

Walking down the Avenues 

Walking down the Avenues

9) Wind on the Water 3:31

Written by Kevin McCoy and David Cooper

(1989-1999)

Walkin’ through the trees walkin’ on the shore 

I feel the western breeze, knockin’ on the door 

Headin’ out to sea, When I return 

Will you remember me 

The dolphins glide, the eagles fly, time to take a ride 

The tides are changin’, a storm is comin’ 

It’s time to move for awhile 

I feel peace when I’m at sea 

I love the wind on the water 

This cove looks safe for now, it’s nice at anchor 

I love the wind on the water 

The dolphins glide, the eagles fly, time to take a ride 

When the tide comes in 

We travel by the stars 

The morning so serene 

Every day is a mystery 

What a wonderful synergy 

The dolphins glide, the eagles fly, time to take a ride

10) Who Can We Blame 4:15  

(1999-2009)

You know, who started this game 

Not sure, who can we blame 

Can you guess, who’s stirring the flame 

Started out as a beautiful day 

People prayed and people played 

What did we learn, just to fire and burn and 

Now it’s your turn 

There’s moments in life when soundbites won’t do 

Don’t save your tears for tomorrow’s gone 

No lookin’ back when you’re under attack 

The looks on their faces, such a bloody mess 
it’s anybody’s guess, there’s no time to confess 

Are we pretending, it’s never ending, 

The message that we’re sendin’ yeah 

What did we learn just to fire and burn 

And now it’s your turn 
Are we playin’ it safe 
Just to get along we’ll never know if we were wrong 

Who can we blame when you don’t know their name 

Who are we fighting, was it worth the cost, 
the lives that we lost 

What did we learn, just to fire and burn and 

Now it’s your turn
