I don't need a lot of things
I can get by with nothing
With all the blessings life can bring
I've always needed something
But I've got all I want
When it comes to loving you
You're my only reason
You're my only truth

 

I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From Heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you, oh

I remember to this day, the bright red Georgia clay
How it stuck to the tires after the summer rain
Will power made that old car go, a woman's mind told me that it's so
Oh, how I wish we were back on the road again

 

Me and you and a dog named Boo
Travellin' and livin' off the land
Me and you and a dog named Boo
How I love bein' a free man

My father was a gambler down in Georgia

He wound up on the wrong end of a gun

I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus

Rollin' down highway forty-one

Now that I'm home again, things sure much better
Biding my time with my little go-getter
No matter what they say, no matter what they do
Gonna end up in the middle of that rock 'n' roll stew

And I'll be gone, gone, gone
I don't care
'Cause I'm gone, gone, gone
I don't care, it's where I'm from
I'm on the road again

Wasted days and wasted nights
I have left for you behind
For you don't belong to me
Your heart belongs to someone else

 

Why should I keep loving you
When I know that you're not true?
And why should I call your name
When you're to blame
For making me blue?

Look round you now
You must go for what you wanted
Look at all my friends who did and got what they deserved

 

So much time to make up
Everywhere you turn
Time we have wasted on the way
So much water moving
Underneath the bridge
Let the water come and carry us away

I'm late, but I'm here right now
And I'm tryin' to find the magic
That we lost somehow
Maybe I was blind
But I see you now
As we're laying in the darkness
Did I wait too long
To turn the lights back on?

Give me a word, give me a sign
Show me where to look, tell me, what will I find?
What will I find?
Lay me on the ground or fly me in the sky
Show me where to look, tell me, what will I find?

Whoa-oh-oh, Heaven let your light shine down
Whoa-oh-oh, Heaven let your light shine down
Whoa-oh-oh, Heaven let your light shine down
Whoa-oh-oh, Heaven let your light shine down

Goodbye to all my friends at home
Goodbye to people I've trusted
I've got to go out and make my way
I might get rich you know I might bet busted
But my heart keeps calling me backwards
As I get on the 707
Ridin' high I got tears in my eyes
You know you got to go through hell
Before you get to heaven

You know you can't hold me forever
I didn't sign up with you
I'm not a present for your friends to open
This boy's too young to be singing
The blues, ah, ah

 

So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough

Back to the howling old owls
Hunting the horny back toad
Oh, I've finally decided my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
Ah, ah

November and more, as I wait for the score,
They're telling me forgiveness, is the key to every door.
A slow winter day, a night like forever,
Sink like a stone, float like a feather.

Lilac rain, unbroken chain, Song of the sawhet owl.
Out on the mountain it'll drive you insane, listening to the winds howl
Unbroken chain of sorrow and pearls, Unbroken chain of sky and sea.
Unbroken chain of the western wind, Unbroken chain of you and me.

Some kind of drama live on satellite
Hidden camera coverage from the crime scene to the courtroom
Nail-biting hood boys in borrowed ties and jackets
Clutching at the straws of respectability
Can't do the time
Don't do the crime
And wind up in the perp walk on TV

I, I will be king
And you, you will be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
We can beat them, just for one day
We can be heroes, just for one day

 

And you, you can be mean
And I, I'll drink all the time
'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact
Yes we're lovers, and that is that
Though nothing will keep us together
We could steal time just for one day
We can be heroes for ever and ever
What d'you say?

Posted

But you and me ain't no movie stars
What we are is what we are
We share a bed, some lovin' and TV, yeah
And that's enough for a workin' man
What I am is what I am
And I tell you, babe, well that's enough for me
