Now I'm a fella with a heart of gold,
The ways of a gentleman,
I've been told.
The kind of a guy that wouldn't even harm a flea
But if me and a certain character met
That guy that invented that cigarette
I'd murder that son of a gun in the first degree.
Well not because I don't smoke myself
I don't reckon they'll harm your health
I've smoked all my life and I'm not dead yet.
But nicotine slaves are all the same,
At a pettin' party or a poker game,
Everything's must stop while they smoke a cigarette -
Day of judgement, God is calling
On their knees, the war pigs crawling
Begging mercy for their sins
Satan, laughing, spreads his wings, oh lord yeah! -
Well, even Jesus was smiling now
He always liked to help out anyhow
He said, "I'll need seven buckets, all in a row
All of 'em filled with H2o"
The waiter was gone for ten minutes or so
And then he came back, just like he was told
He said, "Here's your seven buckets, all in line"
Jesus said, "That's not water, it's wine" -
You had me several years ago when I was still quite naive
When you said that we made such a pretty pair
And that you would never leave
But you gave away the things you loved and one of them was me
I had some dreams, they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee, and...
You're so vain, you probably think this song is about you
You're so vain, I'll bet you think this song is about you
Don't you? Don't you? Don't you? -
And even though the stars are listening
And the ocean's deep, I just go to sleep
And then I create a silent movie
You become the star, is that what you are, dear?
Your whisper tells a secret
Your laughter brings me joy
And a wonder of feeling I'm Nature's own little boy
But still the tears keep falling
They're raining from the sky
Well there's a lot of me got to go under before I get high -
Wynona's got herself a big brown beaver
and she shows it off to all her friends.
One day, you know, that beaver tried to leave her,
So she caged him up with cyclone fence.
Along came Lou with the old baboon
And said "Recognize that smell?"
"Smells like seven layers,
That beaver eats Taco Bell." -
I would like to reach out my hand
I may see you, I may tell you to run (On my way, on my way)
You know what they say about the young -
Soon it will be time to go
I don't want to leave, I guess you know
Maybe something new will come up
And I can come home for just a few more days
Get off this two lane highway
Is going my way, moving fast
Two lane highway
Is taking me home, home at last
-
Well, there's nothin' that you ain't tried
To fill the emptiness inside
But when you come back down, girl
Still ain't feelin' right
And don't it seem like
Kicks just keep gettin' harder to find
And all your kicks ain't bringin' you peace of mind
Before you find out it's too late,girl You better get straight
-
Then somethin' struck me
As if they came from up above
While lookin' at the fortune teller
I fell in love
Now I'm a happy fellow
Well, I'm married to the fortune teller
We're happy as we could be
Now I get my fortune told for free -
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
I was standing
You were there
Two worlds collided
And they could never ever tear us apart -
And when the music plays
And when the words are
Touched with sorrow
When the music plays
I hear the sound
I had to follow
Once upon a time
Once beneath the stars
The universe was ours
Love was all we knew
And all I knew was you
I wonder if you know
I wonder if you think about it
Once upon a time
In your wildest dreams

Rolling down the street, smoking indo, sipping on gin and juice
Laid back
with my mind on my money and my money on my mind

All we need is music, sweet music
There'll be music everywhere
There'll be swinging, swaying, and records playing
Dancing in the street
Oh, it doesn't matter what you wear
Just as long as you are there
So come on, every guy, grab a girl
Everywhere around the world -
I'm not gonna make, gonna make no excuses
I'm not gonna waste no more time being blind
'Cause there ain't no world, ain't now world that I am changing
If I don't change mine -
In the dark
Where all the fevers grow
Under the water
Where the shark bubbles blow
In the mornin'
By yer radio
Do the walls close in t' suffocate ya
You ain't got no friends . . .
An' all the others: they hate ya
Does the life you been livin' gotta go, hmmm?
Well, lemme straighten you out
About a place I know . . . -
Oh, big conniver, nothin' but a jiver
I done got hip to your ji-i-i-i-i-ive
Oh, big conniver, nothin' but a jiver
Done got hip to your ji-i-i-i-i-ive
Slippin' and a-slidin', peepin' and a-hidin'
And I won't a-be your fool no more -

"... and farther below Lake Ontario takes in what lake Erie can send her."
Love that song and proudly sing that line every time I head it. It's probably the only song I know of that mentions Lake Ontario or the region where I'm from originally. (Rochester.)
Apart from this song and "The Erie Canal", what other songs mention upstate NY?
Foreigner " rev on the red line" mentions Lake Ave.
Runnin' all night on Lake Avenue
It's a piece of cake
If you know what to do
You've got to lose a few
'Til the stakes get high
When the odds are right
You just blow by -
When you can't find the light
That guides you through a cloudy day
When the stars ain't shining bright
You feel like you've lost you're way
When the candle light of home
Burns so very far away
Well, you got to let your soul shine
Just like my daddy used to say
He used to say soulshine
It's better than sunshine
It's better than moonshine
Damn sure better than rain -
Cool town, evening in the city
Dressing so fine and looking so pretty
Cool cat, looking for a kitty
Gonna look in every corner of the city
Till I'm wheezing like a bus stop
Running up the stairs, gonna meet you on the rooftop -
A candy-colored clown they call the sandman
Tiptoes to my room every night
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper
"Go to sleep. Everything is all right."
I close my eyes, Then I drift away
Into the magic night. I softly say
A silent prayer like dreamers do.
Then I fall asleep to dream My dreams of you. -
Try, try, try just a little bit harder
So I can love, love, love him, I tell myself
Well, I'm gonna try yeah, just a little bit harder
So I won't lose, lose, lose him to nobody else.
Hey! Well, I don't care how long it's gonna take you now,
But if it's a dream I don't want No I don't really want it
If it's a dream I don't want nobody to wake me.

I still remember those happy days We passed our time in carefree ways
Maybe someday we'll get together again Down on the corner with my old friends
Singin de de de de deet
Who, whoa oh ah ah

I've seen that engine comin'
Was five years ago
She was rollin' big and black
You shouda heard that whistle blow
The train slowed down around the bend
Well, I believe I'll take a ride
Trainman get me satisfied
Here come the train of glory
It's comin' right on time
Won't cha do me a favor
Pick up my friends along the line

Moving down that road, the wind blowing through my hair
I don't know where i'm going, and you know I just don't care
I'm looking for the golden road to everything that's kind
But that ain't always easy, I got rosie on my mind
But you know the lady keeps me going
She always keeps me going, she's my backwoods Rose
