More song lyrics 8

Wave the palms, steal the alms, fists in the air
A motorcade up Benign Street shows the people that you care, ow
Nature abhors a vacuum but what's between your ears?
Your judgement clouded with fearful thoughts, a headlights and a deer, ow
Throw it on the fire, throw it in the air
Kick it out on the dance floor like you just don't care
Look at what I've found, everybody look around
Everybody looking like they just don't care, oh
Give me some

There's something happening here
But what it is ain't exactly clear
There's a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it's time we stop
Children, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?
There's battle lines being drawn
Nobody's right if everybody's wrong
Young people speaking their minds
Getting so much resistance from behind
It's time we stop
Hey, what's that sound?
Everybody look, what's going down?

Home town girl in a city of lights
Sleeps all day, yeah,
And she plays all night
Takin' her turn on the merry-go-round
Hearing her laugh but it's a lonely sound

Bring her on up, take her on down
Hearing you laugh babe,
But it's a lonely sound
Leaving it home, on a midnight plane
Hearing you call babe,
In the sound of the rain

Get up, Lazy Willie, there's work to be done
Out of seventeen kids you're the laziest one
Pigs in the kitchen and the roosters in the pig sty
And weeds in the garden busy growin' up knee high
Lazy Willie, look at you, ain't you a sight?
Tuh-tuh-twee, tuh-twee-dee-twee, tuh-tuh-twee
Lazy Willie, sleep all day and play all night
Um-hmm-mm, umm
Get up, Lazy Willie, up and outta that bed
There's cows to be milked and the mules to be fed
Thin the corn, harvest the soybeans
And help me set the table for our comp'ny from New Orleans

Early in the evenin', just about supper time
Over by the courthouse, they're starting to unwind
Four kids on the corner trying to bring you up
Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp
Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the Poor Boys are playin'
Bring a nickel, tap your feet

Hang down your head, Tom Dooley,
Hang down your head and cry,
Hang down your head, Tom Dooley,
Poor boy, you're gonna die...

You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy
When skies are gray
You'll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please don't take
My sunshine away
The other night, dear
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you
In my arms
When I awoke, dear
I was mistaken
So I hung my head and cried

You are the sunshine of my life
That's why I'll always be around
You are the apple of my eye
Forever you'll stay in my heart
I feel like this is the beginning
Though I've loved you for a million years
And if I thought our love was ending
I'd find myself drowning in my own tears

Alabama, Arkansas,
I do love my Maw and Paw
Not the way that I do love you

Oh, holy moly, me oh my,
You're the apple of my eye
I've never loved no one like you....

Oh, home, let me go home,
Home is wherever I'm with you,
Oh, home, let me go home,
Home is wherever I'm with you.

Two of us riding nowhere
Spending someone's hard-earned pay
You and me Sunday driving
Not arriving on our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home
Two of us sending postcards
Writing letters on my wall
You and me burning matches
Lifting latches on our way back home

We've only just begun to live
White lace and promises
A kiss for luck and we're on our way
We've only begun
Before the rising sun, we fly
So many roads to choose
We start out walking and learn to run
And yes, we've just begun

Sharing horizons that are new to us
Watching the signs along the way
Talkin' it over, just the two of us
Workin' together day to day, together

A love so rare
In years of wasted promises
A love to care
Only love can make some sense of it
A love affair
I know it's only just begun
A love to share
When two hearts collide and beat as one
Now I know you care

We could live
For a thousand years
But if I hurt you
I'd make wine from your tears
I told you
That we could fly
'Cause we all have wings
But some of us don't know why
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never ever tear us apart

Your world was so different
From mine, don't you see?
We just couldn't be close
Though we tried
We both reached for heavens
But ours weren't the same
That's what happens
When two worlds collide
Your world was made up
Of things sweet and good
My world could never fit in
Wish it could
Two hearts lie in shambles
And oh, how they've cried
That's what happens
When two worlds collide

Day after day
Alone on a hill
The man with the foolish grin is keeping perfectly still
But nobody wants to know him
They can see that he's just a fool
And he never gives an answer
But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round

One time, a long time ago
On a mountain in Switzerland
Yo-lo-lo-lo-lo (yo-lo-lo-ooh-ooh)
There lived a fair young maiden
Lovely but lonely, oh-oh-oh-oh
Day after day
She'd pine her heart away
Yo-lo-lo-lo-lo, lady, yay
But no love came her way
One day her papa said
"Some day we'll go
Down to the village in the valley
Then, you'll meet a nice young man
He'll ask for your hand
Then you'll be happy"

A gypsy rover came over the hill
Down to the valley so shady
He whistled and he sang till the green hills rang
And he won the heart of a la-a-a-dee.

On the road again
I just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is making music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
On the road again
Goin' places that I've never been
Seein' things that I may never see again
And I can't wait to get on the road again
Everybody sing
On the road again
Like a band o' gypsies, we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world keep turning our way
And our way

Well, we know where we're goin'
But we don't know where we've been
And we know what we're knowin'
But we can't say what we've seen
And we're not little children
And we know what we want
And the future is certain
Give us time to work it out
Yeah
We're on a road to nowhere
Come on inside
Takin' that ride to nowhere
We'll take that ride

I'm following in Father's footsteps
I'm following the dear old dad
He's just in front with a fine big gal
So I thought that I'd have one as well
I don't know where he's going
But when he gets there I'll be glad
I'm following in Father's footsteps
I'm following the dear old dad.

Well I rode that ribbon highway
I saw above me the endless sky
I saw below me the golden valley
This land was made for you and me

I've roamed and rambled and followed my footsteps
Through the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me a voice was calling
This land was made for you and me

This land is your land
This land is my land
From California
To the New York island
From the Redwood Forest
To the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me

The first time, ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
And the moon and the stars
Were the gifts you gave
To the dark, and the endless skies

So don't throw it all away
I don't wanna be the one
Who's gonna have to beg you to stay
I don't wanna be the one to change your mind
One more time
Please stay
Don't throw it all away

Though it seems
That I just take it out on you
Don't you know?
That only you can get me through
Found the door
Now I know that you're the key
'Cause from the first time that I saw you
I thought that you may be

I don't know who to trust no surprise
(Everyone feels so far away from me)
Happy thoughts sift through dust and the lies
(Trying not to break but I'm so tired of this deceit)

(Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet
(All I ever think about is this)
(All the tiring time between)
(And how trying to put my trust in you just takes so much out of me)

Take everything from the inside and throw it all away
'Cause I swear for the last time I won't trust myself with you

And so, Sally can wait
She knows it's too late as we're walkin' on by
Her soul slides away
"But don't look back in anger," I heard you say
Take me to the place where you go
Where nobody knows
If it's night or day
Please don't put your life in the hands
Of a rock 'n' roll band
Who'll throw it all away
I'm gonna start a revolution from my bed
'Cause you said the brains I had went to my head
Step outside, 'cause summertime's in bloom
Stand up beside the fireplace
Take that look from off your face
'Cause you ain't ever gonna burn my heart out
