COMING BACK
(Shrader)

It's been a long time
But I remember how it was
My name in lights, first-class flights
Living in the center of the buzz

It's been a long time
You gotta strike it while you're hot
Because then you're cold and then you're old
Then one day you're not

But I'm coming back
I'm heading back to the top
I've signed the deal
Now I've got the keys to Fort Knox

I'm coming back
I'm going back where I belong
I've been waiting
Waiting for so long

It's been a long time
But I remember fancy foods
Cigar smoke, the A-list folks
The finest times I ever knew

It's been a long time
But winners always win
My talent's sold, this contract's gold
Time to make some new friends

WONDERFUL WORLD
(Shrader)

Somebody asked him,
"Why do chickens cross the road?"
He just smiled and he said,
"I guess that's the path they chose"

Luther wondered, but he said,
"Don't trust anybody else"
He wanted to know, and he had
To find out for himself

Luther always said,
"This is a wonderful world
"This is a world where we can love
"In this life, you have to pick
"Between the corn and the grubs."
