FREE RIDING MAN Shiver going down his spine every time he hears the whistle blowing crying like a poor broken heart He s not a stranger in this town he s been known to set hearts on fire and he s been known to leave them all behind TURN IT ON (music: M. Kettunen / lyrics: M. Kettunen,L. Lindroos) I m driving home, but I m lost in the night as lost as anyone can be I need some help, but you re not around please, let your love shine on me Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on, turn it on Turn on your lovelight for me Turn it on, turn it on, turn it on, turn it on without your love I can t see I ve been away for a long, long time I hope I still find the way To make your sweet love shine on me at the end of the day Turn it on, turn it on... I m getting closer, but you don t know if my intensions are real I m telling you baby, get rid of doubts and let your love shine on me Turn it on, turn it on... Matti: dobro, banjo Free riding man, it s not hard to understand the train keeps on rollin without you Free riding man, it s not hard to understand the train keeps on rollin without you Once he had a burning love he had himself a kindhearted woman she used to be his pride and joy He was happy for a while but every time he heard the whistle blowing he knew it was calling for him Free riding man... Now his legs are getting old he can feel the cold in his bones waiting for the last arriving train Free riding man...

ALL THOSE SWEET SONGS (music: M. Kettunen, lyrics: M. Kettunen, L. Lindroos) When I was five daddy got a new car he felt so alive We took a ride and listened to the music on the brand new radio All those sweet songs of the 70 s All those sweet songs where have they gone? When I was ten daddy had the same car and a new guitar Every now and then I can still hear him playing them tunes again All those sweet songs... Turned fifteen man, it was a good year playing in a band at eighteen yeah, I was learning to really understand All those sweet songs... I m older now driving my own car and playing my guitar Every now and then my little boy tells me Mummy, play them tunes again All those sweet songs...
