| Long Time Gone - Dixie Chicks
Posted: 6/30/2008 7:46:32 PM | well thankya hon....it's good to be missed....definately good to see your face around here lately - you were definately missed by many.....like those new pics by the way! Lookin' good girl!
Daddy sits on a’ front porch swinging
Looking out on a vacant field
Used to be filled with burley t'bacca
Now he knows it never will
My Brothers found work in Indiana
M' Sisters a nurse at the old folks home
Mama still cooking too much for supper
And me I’ve been a long time gone
[Chorus:]
Been a long time gone
No, I ain't hoed a row since I don't know when
Long time gone
And it ain't coming back again
Deliah plays that ol' church pian'a
Sitting out on her daddy’s farm
She always thought that we'd be together
Lord I never meant to do her harm
Said she could hear me singin' in the choir
Me, I heard another song
I caught wind and hit the road runnin'
And Lord, I've been a long time gone
[Chorus:]
Been a long time gone
Lord, I ain't had a prayer since I don't know when
Long time gone
And it ain't comin' back again
[Instrumental]
[Bridge]
Now me, I went to Nashville,
Tryin' to beat the big deal
Playin' down on Broadway
Gettin' there the hard way
Living from a tip jar
Sleeping in my car
Hocking my guitar
Yeah I’m gonna be a star
Now, me and Deliah singing every Sunday
Watching the children and the garden grow
We listen to the radio to hear what's cookin’
But the music ain't got no soul
Now they sound tired but they don't sound Haggard
They've got money but they don't have Cash
They got Junior but they don't have Hank
I think, I think, I think
The rest is a long time gone
No, I ain't hit the roof since I don’t know when
Long time gone
And it ain't coming back
I said a long time gone
No, I ain't honked the horn since I don’t know when
Long time gone
And it ain't coming back again
I said a long time, long time, long time gone
Well it’s been a long time
Long time, long time, long time gone
Oh, it's been a long time gone
Long time, long time, long time gone
Yeah yeah | |

| Wide Open Spaces - Dixie Chicks
Posted: 6/30/2008 8:00:47 PM | Thank you, Ash! thought the time off would clear my head...must have worked-it may be completely empty now, but good to be back pond-side w/ my fambly :) love the Chicks too-good stuff. can listen to them for days on end.
yanno know those moments in time that freezeframe & stay there forever? this playing as i drove down a dirt road through the Rockies from Laramie -Ft. Collins surrounded by mtns, clear blue skies, & God....
Who doesn't know what I'm talking about
Who's never left home, never struck out
To find a dream and a life of their own
A place in the clouds, a foundation of stone
Many precede and many will follow
A young girl's dream no longer hollow
It takes the shape of a place out west
But what it holds for her, she hasn't yet guessed
She needs wide open spaces
Room to make her big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows the high stakes
She traveled this road as a child
Wide-eyed and grinning she never tired
But now she won't be coming back with the rest
If these are life's lessons, she'll take this test
As her folks drive away her dad yells, "Check the oil!"
Mom stares out the window and says,
"I'm leaving my girl."
She says "It didn't seem like that long ago
When she stood there and let her own folks know." | |

Posted: 6/30/2008 8:05:03 PM | ~ Can't Stop My Heart From Loving You (the Rain Song) ~
Hey...hey...hey...whoa...whoa...
Oh...
You can think that I'm just playin' games
You can think I'll do you wrong
You can think that I don't mean a word I say
You can think what you want [What you want]
But if you think you're gonna stop the way
I feel about you
Baby, you're just wastin' your time
‘Cause I'm not changing my mind
Can't stop the rain from falling down, oh
Can't stop the world from turnin' ‘round, oh
Can't stop my heart from loving you
No, no [No, no], no matter what you do, baby
You can trust that I'm gonna stay around
You can trust I'll treat you right [I treat you right]
You can be sure that I won't ever let you down
Sure as there are stars in the night [In the night]
And if you ever think there'll come a day
I'll live without you
Baby, you're as wrong as can be
Can't change the way that I feel
Can't stop the rain from falling down, oh
Can't stop the world from turnin' ‘round, oh
Can't stop my heart from loving you
No, no (No, no), no matter what you do, baby
Can't stop a river running free, no
Can't stop this love I feel in me, no
Can't stop my heart from loving you
No, no (No, no), no matter what you do, baby
Can't stop the wind, can't stop the sea
Can't stop the feelin' I feel in me
Night needs the stars, stars need the sky
And I'll always need you here in my life
Oh, oh, oh
Can't stop my love, can't stop my heart
I'm in too deep, I've gone too far (Oh...oh...)
Never gonna stop, never gonna stop
Lovin' you, oh, oh, oh
But if you think you're gonna stop the way
I feel about you
Baby, you're just wastin' your time
‘Cause I'm not changing my mind
Can't stop the rain from falling down (Just can't stop the rain)
Can't stop the world from turnin' ‘round (Can't stop, oh)
Can't stop my heart from loving you (My heart, baby)
No, no [No, no], no matter what you do, baby
Can't stop a river running free
Can't stop this love I feel in me
Can't stop my heart from loving you
No, no (No, no), no matter what you do, baby
Can't stop the rain from falling down (I'm here by your side)
Can't stop the world from turnin' ‘round (I'm gonna love you forever)
Can't stop my heart from loving you (Can't stop my heart from loving you)
No, no (No, no), no matter what you do, baby
[ Can't Stop My Heart From Loving You
If anyone has never heard this song or this Mans voice ...take a listen ...his voice is like an Angel...that makes the spirit just soar! | |

Posted: 6/30/2008 9:30:59 PM | ~Don't Take Away My Heaven ~
Oh, baby, I found heaven when I found you
And this heaven is somethin' I don't wanna lose
I only know that if you ever said goodbye, I couldn't stand the pain
These eyes would cry, cry, cry like the rain
And the sun would have nowhere to shine
And the stars would all fall from the sky
Baby, please
Don't take away my heaven, oh, no
‘Cause this world would stop turnin', I know
And I'd lose my whole world if you go
Baby, don't
Don't take away my heaven, oh, no
Oh, baby, I saw forever when I saw you
And if you left me, I can't imagine what I'd do
Now that I've gone and built my world around your love, I couldn't let you go
Don't ever say goodbye, no, don't, don't, don't ever go
'Cause the sun would have nowhere to shine
And the stars would all fall from the sky
Baby, please
Don't take away my heaven, oh, no
‘Cause this world would stop turnin', I know (Yes, I know)
And I'd lose my whole world if you go (If you go)
Baby, please
Don't take away my heaven, oh, no
'Cause you might as well take my life from me
What good would a life without you be anyway (Anyway)
If you go away
Well, the sun would have nowhere to shine
And the stars would all fall from the sky (From the sky)
Baby, please
Don't take away my heaven, oh, no
'Cause this world would stop turnin', I know (Yes, I know)
And I'd lose my whole world if you go (If you go)
Baby, don't, no
Don't take away my heaven, oh, no
Don't take away my heaven, don't take away your love
Don't take away my world 'cause baby, I need your touch
Baby, don't
Don't take away my heaven, oh, no
Please don't take away my heaven
Please
Baby, don't, oh, no
Don't take away my heaven, oh...
Don't take away my heaven, don't take away your love
Don't take away my world 'cause baby, I need your touch
Baby, don't, oh
Don't take away my heaven, oh, no

Hello, how are you doing today?
I hope I find you feeling healthy
I'm so glad our paths crossed this time today
On our way into the night
Oh, we find love, it's hiding there, in the shadows, in the darkness
Baby, it's you and I, could bring it to the light
Love, when I approach the tears they fall like rain, you tell me
Baby, your heart into a thousand pieces dashed
Stop, only old and wise, with clouded eyes
You can't see what I can
But I blindly throw my faith to the face
Of the next pretty girl that comes my way
So here we are all of us stand around
We're leaning heavy on each other
Always wondering what is it lies behind
The worried eyes of the woman that I love
I believe it's love, it's hiding there, inside you and inside me
Baby, the two of us can bring it to the light
Love, when I approach the tears they fall like rain, you tell me
Baby, your heart into a thousand pieces dashed
Stop, only old and wise, with clouded eyes
You can't see what I can
But I blindly throw my faith to the face
Of the next good thing that comes my way
I say it's love, it's inside here, it comes on out, share it with some
Baby, you and I could bring it to the light
Love, when I approach these tears they fall like rain, you tell me
Baby, your heart into a thousand pieces...
Love...
Baby... | |

| Death On The Stairs-The Libertines
Posted: 7/1/2008 12:04:17 AM | From way far across the sea
Came an eritrean maiden she
Had a one track mind and eyes for me
Half blinded in the war
With a pale young Anglican
Who said he'd help her all he can
Showed her Jesus and his little un-holy friend
She had no notion to please him
Just say 'ta-ra' and leave him behind
There's a little boy in a stairwell who says
"I hate being poor like you"
Got match sticks & cable TV half of less than 50p
We all clambered over the balcony
Banging on the window waking Steve
Bringing with a true love his un-holy friend
Singing if you really need it
You just won't leave it behind
So baby please kill me
Oh baby don't kill me
But don't bring that ghost round to my door
I don't wanna see him anymore
Please kill me
Oh baby don't kill me
Just don't bang on about yesterday
I wouldn't know about that anyway
Monkey asked the mouse before
If she loved anybody more than he
It turns you into stone
Now I'm reversing down the lonely street
a cheap hotel where I can meet the past
pay off and keep it sweet
It's sweet like nothing no
It's just like nothing at all
Yes I've seen you there
How could I help but stare
It rips the heart out of your baby
Now I've taken far too much to see
Or think or touch what's real
I'm stranded on this street that
Paved my only way home
You really need it oh
You just won't leave it behind
Oh please kill me
Oh no don't kill me
But don't bring that ghost round to my door
I don't wanna see him anymore
Please kill me
Oh no don't kill me
But don't go on about yesterday
I wouldn't know about that anyway
Oh no
He got nothing no, he got nothing at all | |

| Feeling Good ~ Nina Simone
Posted: 7/1/2008 3:54:03 AM | Birds flying high you know how I feel
Sun in the sky you know how I feel
Breeze driftin' on by you know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good
Fish in the sea you know how I feel
River running free you know how I feel
Blossom on the tree you know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good
Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know
Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean
Sleep in peace when day is done
That's what I mean
And this old world is a new world
And a bold world
For me
Stars when you shine you know how I feel
Scent of the pine you know how I feel
Oh freedom is mine
And I know how I feel
It's a new dawn
It's a new day
It's a new life
For me
And I'm feeling good
I'm feeling good | |

Posted: 7/1/2008 6:47:29 AM | Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free.
Blackbird fly blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.
Blackbird fly blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life

| Beatles................I Am the Walrus :)
Posted: 7/1/2008 7:19:39 AM | I am he as you are he as you are me
And we are all together
See how they run like pigs from a gun see how they fly
I'm crying
Sitting on a cornflake waiting for the van to come
Corporation teeshirt, stupid bloody Tuesday
Man you been a naughty boy. You let your face grow long
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo goo joob
Mister City Policeman sitting, pretty little policemen in a row
See how they fly like Lucy in the sky, see how they run
I'm crying, I'm crying
I'm crying, I'm crying
Yellow matter custard dripping from a dead dog's eye
Crabalocker fishwife pornographic priestess
Boy you been a naughty girl, you let your knickers down
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo goo joob
Sitting in an English garden waiting for the sun
If the sun don't come
You get a tan from standing in the English rain
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo goo joob goo goo goo goo joob
Expert textpert choking smokers
Don't you think the joker laughs at you? (Ha ha ha! He he he! Ha ha ha!)
See how they smile like pigs in a sty, see how they snied
I'm crying
Semolina pilchard climbing up the Eiffel Tower
Elementary penguin singing Hare Krishna
Man you should have seen them kicking Edgar Alan Poe
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen
I am the walrus, goo goo goo joob goo goo goo joob
Goo goo goo joob goo goo goo joob
Goo gooooooooooo jooba jooba jooba jooba jooba jooba
Jooba jooba
Jooba jooba
Jooba jooba | |

| Beatles................While my Guitar Gently Weeps
Posted: 7/1/2008 7:46:29 AM | I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
I look at the floor and i see it needs sweeping
Still my guitar gently weeps
I don't know why nobody told you how to unfold your love
I don't know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you.
I look at the world and i notice it's turning
While my guitar gently weeps
With every mistake we must surely be learning
Still my guitar gently weeps
I don't know how you were diverted
You were perverted too
I don't know how you were inverted
No one alerted you.
I look at you all see the love there that's sleeping
While my guitar gently weeps
Look at you all...
Still my guitar gently weeps. | |

| Beatles................Across the Universe
Posted: 7/1/2008 7:47:59 AM | Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup,
They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
Possessing and caressing me.
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Images of broken light which dance before me like a million eyes,
That call me on and on across the universe,
Thoughts meander like a restless wind inside a letter box they
Tumble blindly as they make their way
Across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world.
Sounds of laughter shades of earth are ringing
Through my open views inviting and inciting me
Limitless undying love which shines around me like a
Million suns, it calls me on and on
Across the universe
Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world,
Nothing's gonna change my world. | |

| Talk to Me Now ~ Ani Difranco
Posted: 7/1/2008 7:50:26 AM |
I don't know why nobody told you how to unfold your love
I don't know how someone controlled you
They bought and sold you.
...very potent lyrics to that song...
he said ani, you've gotten tough
'cause my tone was curt
yeah, and when I'm approached in a dark alley
I don't lift my skirt
in this city
self-preservation
is a full time occupation
I'm determined
to survive on this shore
you know I don't
avert my eyes anymore
in a man's world
I am a woman by birth
and after nineteen times around I have found
they will stop at nothing once they know what you are worth
talk to me now
I played the powerless
in too many dark scenes
and I was blessed with a birth and a death
and I guess I just want some say in between
don't you understand
in the day to day
and the face to face
I have to act
just as strong as I can
just to preserve a place
where I can be who I am
so if you still know how
talk to me now | |

| Cat Stevens..................................Morning has broken
Posted: 7/1/2008 7:58:12 AM | Yeah...big words...................think he was talking to Paul???
Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the world
Sweet the rains new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
Gods recreation of the new day | |

| Songs Of The Circling Spirit- Tom Cochrane
Posted: 7/1/2008 12:07:56 PM | All The Kings Men
Shut your eyes my darling there's nothing you can say
the man in the moon won't fall on you
he doesn't live there anyway
you don't have to be a soldier to fight in your private war
let the blood you might see rain down on me
you don't have to fight no more
there's nothing you can say
there's nothing you can send
there's nothing that can change the facts
not all the king's men
you'll ride upon the stallion
I'll ride upon your mare
we'll ride so far ride so hard
far away from here
when we look back upon the
it all will become so clear
the gates will open up for us
we won't have no more fears
there's nothing you can say
there's nothing you can send
there's nothing that can change the facts
not all the king's men
look away look away
you might be tired and troubled but not today
when they come down upon you
I won't let them get anything on you
and we'll dream away all those fears and troubles may
look away
we both were motherless children
they sent us separate ways
the family you'd seen beat down on you
mine it was okay
I've come to take you back may
save you from this fate
they won't have any more chances
to treat you this way
there's nothing you can say
there's nothing you can send
there's nothing that can change all that
not all the king's men
there's nothing you can say
there's nothing you can send
there's nothing that can change all that
not all the king's men | |

| Love Will Keep us Alive- Eagles
Posted: 7/1/2008 12:19:02 PM | Love Will Keep Us Alive lyrics
I was standing
All alone against the world outside
You were searching
For a place to hide
Lost and lonely
Now you've given me the will to survive
When we're hungry...love will keep us alive
Don't you worry
Sometimes you've just gotta let it ride
The world is changing
Right before your eyes
Now I've found you
There's no more emptiness inside
When we're hungry...love will keep us alive
I would die for you
Climb the highest mountain
Baby, there's nothing I wouldn't do
I was standing
All alone against the world outside
You were searching
For a place to hide
Lost and lonely
Now you've given me the will to survive
When we're hungry...love will keep us alive
When we're hungry...love will keep us alive
When we're hungry...love will keep us alive | |

| Runaway Train - Soul Asylum
Posted: 7/1/2008 12:30:35 PM | If you've never seen the video to this song, go find it. It touched me years ago, and has haunted me since. Enjoy...
Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a slow torch burning
I was a key that could use a little turning
So tired that I couldn't even sleep
So many secrets I couldn't keep
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep
It seems no one can help me now
I'm in too deep
There's no way out
This time I have really led myself astray
CHORUS
Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here no there
Can you help me remember how to smile
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did I get so jaded
Life's mystery seems so faded
I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Here I am just drownin' in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train
Everything is cut and dry
Day and night, earth and sky
Somehow I just don't believe it
CHORUS
Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughin' at the rain
Little out of touch, little insane
Just easier than dealing with the pain
Runaway train never comin' back
Runaway train tearin' up the track
Runaway train burnin' in my veins
Runaway but it always seems the same | |

| Shine On You Crazy Diamond- Pink Floyd
Posted: 7/1/2008 12:33:41 PM | Shine On You Crazy Diamond
Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom,
blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine! | |

| Hotel California- Eagles
Posted: 7/1/2008 4:01:07 PM | On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of Colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
’this could be heaven or this could be hell’
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...
Welcome to the hotel california
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the hotel california
Any time of year, you can find it here
Her mind is tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes -Benz
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
So I called up the captain,
’please bring me my wine’
He said, ’we haven’t had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine’
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...
Welcome to the hotel california
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They livin’ it up at the hotel california
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said ’we are all just prisoners here, of our own device’
And in the master’s chambers,
They gathered for the feast
The stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can’t kill the beast
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
’relax,’ said the night man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can checkout any time you like,
But you can never leave!
Just love the guitar in this! | |

| Come Away with Me -Norah Jones
Posted: 7/1/2008 4:11:08 PM | Come Away With Me
Come away with me in the night
Come away with me
And I will write you a song
Come away with me on a bus
Come away where they can't tempt us
With their lies
I want to walk with you
On a cloudy day
In fields where the yellow grass grows knee-high
So won't you try to come
Come away with me and we'll kiss
On a mountaintop
Come away with me
And I'll never stop loving you
And I want to wake up with the rain
Falling on a tin roof
While I'm safe there in your arms
So all I ask is for you
To come away with me in the night
Come away with me | |

| The Wind Cries Mary...Jimi Hendrix
Posted: 7/1/2008 4:22:24 PM | After all the jacks are in the boxes,
And the clowns have all gone to bed,
You can hear happiness staggering down the street,
Footsteps...dressed in Red.
And the wind whispers Mary.
A broom is drearily sweeping
Up the broken peices of yesterdays life,
Somewhere a queen is weeping
Somewhere a king has no wife
And the wind, it cries... Mary.
And the traffic lights, they turn uh blue tomorrow
And shine their emptiness down on my bed,
The tiny island sags down stream,
'cause the life that lived is,
Is dead....
And the wind screams... Mary.
Uh will the wind ever remember
The names it has blown in the past,
And with this crutch its old age and its wisdom
It whispers no this will be the last
And the wind cries... Mary.
One of my all time favorites... | |

Hello California,
Sure is strange to be here today.
What's a boy from down in Austin
Doin' in the city of angels anyway?
So won't ya come on out here with me?
Find out what you can or can not see
Maybe gain a new perspective
Why we're so infected by our dreams
Yeah and baby, I'll be out here dreaming
And thinking about the life we could have
Yeah but you're back home in Texas,
And I'm wondering when's the next time I get to hold you
I just wanna hold you
It's the sweetest kind of poison
Tackle you and take away your faith
Whiskey for a lifetime
Wreck your soul with the smallest little taste
Yeah and baby, I'll be out here dreaming
And thinking about the life we could have.
Well I'm stranded in Los Angeles
Wondering when's the next time I get to hold you,
I just wanna hold you.
I am just a guitar man
That fell in love with you
Times good or bad, I'd take ‘em all the same
You could have some 9 to 5 man comin' home to take your hand
You know he's never gonna do
Is this the life I dreamed of?
Guess it's just the way it all went down
Damn right I sure am happy
With the crazy piece of life that I have found
Yeah and baby, I'll be out here dreaming
And thinking about the life we could have
Yeah but you're back home in Texas,
And I'm stranded in Los Angeles
Wondering when's the next time I get to hold you,
I just wanna hold you. | |

Posted: 7/1/2008 4:39:29 PM | Baby's just a little bit tired of the city,
Billboards and bullshit got her down,
Seem like you need a little hill country,
A Little back roads driving, little bit of the old top down,
Yeah, everybody gotta get away sometime,
Forget about yourself for a while,
Seems to me that all you need is a ragtop car to ride with me,
Ok, alright, just might get a little high tonight,
Ok, alright, carry on,
Ol' Walt Wilkins lives up in Nashville,
You know his eyes have seen the miles,
Walt why don't you jump in Jim T's caddy,
Come down to Texas and drink with me a while,
Yeah, everybody gotta get away sometime,
Forget about yourself for a while,
Will go down to El Arroyo have some tacos and beer, yeah and let ourselves go.
Ok, alright, just might try to get it right tonight,
Ok, alright, Carry On
Lover make sure that you got your troubles,
I'm gonna make sure that you work too hard,
Ain't nobody that don't get tired,
Watch your troubles pile up big in your own backyard,
Sometimes you've got to grab your world with your own two hands,
Set it spinning off on a course all your own,
Take yourself a big bag for your shoulder,
Find yourself some good times,
Bring them on back home,
Yeah, everybody gotta get away sometime,
Forget about yourself for a while,
Lay your whole life upon a shelf,
Got no one to blame but your own damn self,
Ok, alright, heaven only know what gonna happen tonight,
Ok, alright, I'm ok, I'm alright, I'm ok,
I'm all right, I'm ok, I'm all right, Oh carry on, yeah - | |

Some things I've done make my conscience burn
My very spine shudder and squirm
I only hope that I've learned from my sin
I heard a voice when I was thirteen
Got baptized - washed up clean
But the world has a way, if you know what I mean
To scuff you up again and again
I can't explain a blessed thing
Not a falling star, or a feathered wing
Or how a man in chains has the strength to sing
Just one thing is clear to me
there's always more than what appears to be
And when the light's just right
I swear I see poetry
Now, somebody made every natural thing
From the soul, inside out to saturn's rings
How my baby smiles and how Ray Charles sings
Of course we were created
The clouds make rain, the ocean makes sand
The earth breates fire, and lava makes land
Now that took a mighty hand
And a wild imagination
I can't explain a blessed thing
Not a falling star, or a feathered wing
Or how a man in chains has the strength to sing
Just one thing is clear to me
there's always more than what appears to be
And when the light's just right
I swear I see poetry
The dreams I dreamed came back ten-fold
The friends I have, the woman I hold
I look down and I'm on streets of gold
After all the mud along the way
And sometimes the big old mystery
Just leans right on me
And whispers that I'm home and I am free
And I'll take that any day
I can't explain a blessed thing
Not a falling star, or a feathered wing
Or how a man in chains has the strength to sing
Just one thing is clear to me
there's always more than what appears to be
And when the light's just right
I swear I see poetry | |
