Aerosmith
This was one of my friend Keith's favorite albums.
He was learning how to play the drums...
but he was killed in early 1980.
At the time, after several tears and many beers,
I put this album on my turntable and remembered my friend Keith.
Isn't it unbelievable how certain albums and songs
get associated with events that happen in your life!
I played this album so many times throughout the years
that you actually hear side two
when I put the needle down on side one!
That's right, there really were such things known as
VINYL ALBUMS!!!!
See how the van was discovered
on the American Pickers TV show

Make It
( Tyler )
Good evening people welcome to the show
Got something here I want'choo all to know
When life and people bring on primal screams
You've got to think of what it's gonna take to make your dreams
Make it
Don't break it
I said make it
Don't break it... if ya do
Then ya feel like the world's coming down on you
You know that history repeats itself
What'choo just done so has somebody else
You know you do you gotta think the past
You gotta think of what it's gonna take to make it last
Make it
Don't break it
Said make it
Don't break it... if ya do
Bad weather pull yourself together
Don't be catchin' the blues
Bad weather pull yourself together
What have you got to lose
You're only payin' your dues
Yeaaaa.... dues is the price that you gotta pay
If you don't it gets you anyway
Although you know what'choo been goin' through
You're on the brink so think of what it take to...
Make it
Don't break it
I said a make it
Don't break it... if ya do
Bad weather pull yourself together
Don't be catchin' the blues
Bad weather pull yourself together
What have you got to lose
Somebody
( Tyler / S. Emspack )
Uuuh...
I need a lady not somebody shady
I need someone to be close to
Somebody cozy not somebody nosy
Help me see my whole day through
Someone to share the load
Somebody to walk the road I live on... live
Good Lord send me... good Lord mend me
Send me down someone for me
Said I won't be choosy you could send me a floozy
Send me anybody ya please
Somebody say you will
Somebody further still
Somebody... some... somebody for me
Now won'tchoo send me somebody
Yeah... somebody
Won'tchoo send me somebody
Now won'tchoo send me somebody
Well call for somebody scream loud and bloody
Call woman woman come on to me
Save for tomorrow share all your sorrow
Misery enjoys company... yes it does yes it does
Somebody say you will
Somebody further still
Somebody... send somebody for me
Somebody say you will
Somebody further still
Somebody... send somebody for...
Dream On
( Tyler )
Every time that I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face gettin' clearer
Fffffff... the past is gone
It went by like dusk to dawn
Isn't that the way
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay
Yeah... I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin
You got to lose to know... how to win
Half my life's in books written pages
Live and learnin' from fools and from sages
You know it's true
All the things come back to you
Sing with me sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing it with me if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away
Well... sing with me sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing it with me if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away... aah
Mmmaa... dream on... dream on... dream on
Dream until your dream come true
Dream on... dream on... dream on
Dream until your dream come true
Dream on... dream on... dream on... dream on
Dream on... dream on... dream on... aaahhh...
Sing with me sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing it with me if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow good Lord will take you away
Sing with me sing for the year
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear
Sing it with me if it's just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

Movin' Out
( Tyler / Perry... the very first song they wrote together! )
Ha ha ha ha... yea

I said we gotta move out 'cause the city's movin' in
Tell me who you know and I'll tell ya who to

Nobody goes there nobody shows where
Nobody knows where you can find me... yeahhhh... heeay...
