Notes
^ On both the original album (The Captain and Me ) and this compilation, this song is credited to "The Doobie Brothers", rather than to individual band members, even though the band's lineup had changed in between the releases. The live album Rockin' Down the Highway: The Wildlife Concert credits the song to Johnston only.
