Oh, thinkin' about our younger years
There was only you and me
We were young and wild and free
Now nothin' can take you away from me
We've been down that road before
But that's over now
You keep me comin' back for more
Baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms
I'm findin' it hard to believe we're in heaven

Look around me
I can see my life before me
Running rings around the way it used to be
I am older now
I have more than what I wanted
But I wish that I had started long before I did

 

And there's 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

That old black magic has me in its spell
That old black magic that you weave so well
Those icy fingers up and down my spine
The same old witchcraft when your eyes meet mine
The same old tingle that I feel inside
And then that elevator starts its ride
And down and down, I go
'Round and 'round, I go
Like a leaf that's caught in the tide

Oh, Atlanta, I hear you callin'
I'm comin' back to you one fine day
No need to worry, there ain't no hurry
'Cause I'm on my way back to Georgia
On my way back to Georgia

I get a feeling in me when I remember
All those crazy days and crazier nights
Can't you hear the music playing?
You must have heard them saying

I got to feel that Georgia sun
And the women there in Atlanta
They make you awfully glad you come
I said watchin' them planes
I wish I was on one
I'm sittin' here thinking 'bout my crazy dream
If I could only be there tonight
Oh Atlanta, oh Atlanta!

I said yeah! yeah! yeah! Atlanta, got to get back to you

He's leaving (leaving)
On that midnight train to Georgia (leaving on a midnight train)
Hmm, yeah
Said he's going back (going back to find)
To a simpler place and time (and when he takes that ride)
Oh yes, he is (guess who's gonna sit right by his side)

And I'll be with him (I know you will)
On that midnight train to Georgia
(Leaving on a midnight train to Georgia)
I'd rather live in his world (live in his world)
Than live without him in mine (world, world)
(It's his, his and hers alone)

And when they're old enough to run they'll walk away one day
And I would have you back
Until then I can share, I'll wait for when there's time to spare
But it always goes too fast
And every time they run past me and straight to you I understand cause I would too
But you should be the first to know that all I need is you and you alone

Lying in my bed, I hear the clock tick and think of you
Caught up in circles
Confusion is nothing new
Flashback, warm nights
Almost left behind
Suitcase of memories
Time after

Sometimes you picture me
I'm walking too far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear
What you've said
Then you say, "go slow"
And I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

When I was a young girl
Well, I had me a cowboy
He weren't much to look at
Just a free ramblin' man

But that was a long time
And no matter how I tried
The years just flowed by
Like a broken down dam

 

Make me an angel
That flies from Montgomery
Make me a poster
Of an old rodeo
Just give me one thing
That I can hold on to
To believe in this livin'
Is just a hard way to go

You say love is a temple, love a higher law
Love is a temple, love the higher law
You ask me to enter but then you make me crawl
And I can't be holdin' on to what you got
When all you got is hurt

 

One love, one blood
One life, you got to do what you should
One life, with each other
Sisters, brothers

Father and Son

 

It's not time to make a change
Just relax, take it easy
You're still young, that's your fault
There's so much you have to know

Find a girl, settle down
If you want you can marry
Look at me, I am old
But I'm happy

I was once like you are now
And I know that it's not easy
To be calm when you've found
Something going on

But take your time, think a lot
Think of everything you've got
For you will still be here tomorrow
But your dreams may not

Ooh my hopes are as the leaves upon the water

Just sunk in the night

And though I know you couldn't care, you oughtta

Ah, the end of a life

Or maybe when you're older, and you're thinking back

You might recall

Now did I act carefully, did I do right?

Or were we meant to be, all of our lives In love and harmony, all of our lives?

Prepare yourself you know it's a must
Gotta have a friend in Jesus
So you know that when you die
He's gonna recommend you
To the spirit in the sky (spirit in the sky)

 

Oh he'll recommend you to the spirit in the sky
That's where you're gonna go when you die (when you die)
When you die and they lay you to rest
You're gonna go to the place that's the best

I'm not scared of dying 
And I don't really care
If it's peace you find in dying
Well, then let the time be near

 

If it's peace you find in dying
And if dying time is near
Just bundle up my coffin cause 
It's cold way down there
I hear that's it's cold way down there
Yeah, crazy cold way down there

 

And when I die and when I'm gone
There'll be one child born 
In this world, carry on, to carry on

Bruce Berry was a working man
He used to load that Econoline van.
A sparkle was in his eye
But his life was in his hands.

Well, late at night when the people were gone
He used to pick up my guitar
And sing a song in a shaky voice
That was real as the day was long.

 

Tonight's the night, yes it is, tonight's the night
Tonight's the night, yes it is, tonight's the night.

Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now
Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
Rip down all hate, I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I'm younger than that now

She says her love for me could never die
But that'd change if she ever found out about you and I
Oh but her love is cold
Wouldn't hurt her if she didn't know, 'cause
When it gets too much
I need to feel your touch

 

I'm gonna run to you
I'm gonna run to you
'Cause when the feelin's right I'm gonna run all night
I'm gonna run to you
