I never read it in a book, I never saw it on a show
But I heard it in the alley on a weird radio If you want a drink of water, you got to get it from a well If you want to get to Heaven, you got to raise a little hell I never felt it in my feet, I've never felt it in my soul But I heard it the alley, now it's in my rock and roll If you want to know a secret, you got to promise not to tell If you want to get to Heaven, you got to raise a little hell I never thought it'd be so easy, I never thought it'd be so fun But I heard it in the alley, now I've got it on the run If you want to see an angel, you got to find it where it fell If you want to get to Heaven, you got to raise a little hell If you want to get to Heaven If you want to get to Heaven If you want to get to Heaven If you want to get to Heaven |

Ask a winner, and you'll probably find Ooh, Jackie, they've lost at some time Don't try to tell me that you're not aware Of what you're doing and that you don't care You say it's easy, just a natural thing Like playing music, but you never sing Ooh-hoo-hoo, Jackie Blue Making wishes that never come true Going places where you've never been Ooh, Jackie, you're going again Ooh-hoo-hoo, Jackie Blue Lives a dream that can never come true Making love is like sifting through sand Ooh, Jackie, it slips through your hand Every day, in your indigo eyes I watch the sunset but I don't see it rise Moonlight and stars in your strawberry wine You'd take the world but you won't take the time Ooh-hoo-hoo, Jackie Blue Lives her life from inside of a room Makes you think that her life is a drag Ooh Jackie, what fun you have had Ooh, Jackie Ooh, Jackie Ooh, Jackie Ooh, Jackie Hey, hey, hey, hey |

When the man comes to you
Tells you what you always knew was comin' You feel it came twice as fast You always thought the world would last way past you But now you find it's time 'cause there's nothin' left around you Spaceship orion's there waiting to part the air above you ?? Waiting to take you Waiting to place you In a world exactly different From the one you leave behind If you find it man you're lucky But it still won't be the same If can't be like home It can't feel like home To you there It can't be like home It can't feel like home To you there If can't be like home It can't feel like home To you there |

I've got a moon out of my window
In the night And I've got a sun out of my doorway When it gets light I've got stones on a mountain And a clear blue windswept sky Thank you Lord You made it right, you made it right And I've got a woman to love me When I'm gone And I've got stars to find me The way back home I've got rain in the morning When I'm stranded all alone Thank you Lord You made it right, you made it right I've been standing on a hillside In the night I've been singing 'bout the good things In the light There's a new star on the horizon And it nearly fills the sky Thank you Lord You made it right, you made it right |

I've got a mountain of dreams to climb 'fore I get to that house on the hill that keeps the lady of my morning in a brown earthen pot on the sill of the window that looks out across the valley, probably always will I'll make sure no one is watching me like ev'ry good and successful thief and maybe tomorrow when the sun goes down I'll have put an end to this grief by giving myself a potted plant and a rainbow, calling it a wreath she's the energy that runs my day and the first star out at night by God, I'm gonna climb that hill if it takes, ev'ry bit of my my might in the morning the early summer breezes call me away from my warm sleeping bed and fill me up with expectations of filling this hole in my head that was left long ago somewhere in my lifetime, left me feeling dead she's the energy that runs my day and the first star out at night by God, I'm gonna climb that hill if it takes, ev'ry bit of my might I've got a mountain of dreams to climb 'fore I get to that house on the hill that keeps the lady of my morning in a brown earthen pot on the sill of the window that looks out across the valley, probably always will |

The old cat on the roof.
He could stand a little push. Cause he's got nine good lives to live. But like my Mama said. You only live till your dead. And you got to give and give and give. Theres a pebble in a pond. Going on and on. Making waves and tides and ripples and rain. Theres a leaf in the wind. That don't no where to end. Chasing days and waves and wishes and dreams Seems like everyone is out, looking for the sun. Singing rain and pain on he who hesitates. But it'll shine when it shines. You might think I'm wasting time. But I'm just a good old boy that's learned to wait. Wipperwil's in the Dawn. Pretty soon he'll be gone. But he's got one good song to sing. But like my Daddy said. It's in your heart not your head. And you've got to sing and sing and sing. Theres a window in the wall. Looking out on it all. Leavin' fears and tears and troubles along. Theres a fire in the stove. Keeping out the cold. Warming wine and winters and babies and homes. Seems like everyone is out looking for the sun. Singing rain and pain on he who hesitates. But it'll shine when it shines. You might think I'm waisting time. but I'm just a good old boy thats learned to wait. Yes i'm just a good old boy thats learned to wait. |

If I fell off to sleep
and did not wake would the lord my soul to take?? And could the land that I've know also die? Do you think of you and wonder why? Down in Leatherwood that thought we'd leave behind Down in Leatherwood Country love's gonna steal your mind and we aint never gonna be blue........ be blue... Was a house all flooded by the rain or did I once live it in a dream of throwing all good minutes to the sea? Did you know the sky could also bleed? Down in Leatherwood that thought we'd leave behind Down in Leatherwood Country love's gonna steal your mind and we aint never gonna be blue....... be blue... |

just about a hundred years or so ago ten men rode their way down the mighty colorado and as I read about their journey I couldn't help but feel a very similar yearning to mr. powell and I wish that I could have been there with him the way he talked about the river, I could tell the revelations he must have felt within himself, the realization of what man's supposed to do, I feel it too (FLUTE SOLO) as they would ride over the waves as they would glide over the waves the river forged its way through canyons that were so high that the clouds would float within them cascade fountains moss surrounded on through a gorge grand beyond description and the river rolls and like a whirlpool it sets my mind to spinnin' can you imagine walls that went so high the sky would be nothing more than a single thin blue line and rocks would rainbow their way up to the sky as they would ride over the waves as they would glide over the waves you'd hear them singing, singing ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh, ahhh...

have you ever felt yourself in a place a little strange where nothin' seemed the way it should be and every time you'd set your sight and take an aim things would change, move out of range have you stood in the sunshine and seen darkness everywhere have you looked for a seashell on a street has it made much difference that you've never had to share you've just given, given it all to the wind you've just given, given it all to the wind (FIDDLE SOLO) when you finally find yourself in the middle of a dream and the vision slowly slips away it's hard to hold yourself in the middle of a stream you just give in, giving it all to the wind you just give in, giving it all to the wind (FIDDLE SOLO) Lyrics are copyright 1977, Larry Lee |
