I bought a brand new airmobile,
'twas a custom made, 'twas a flightning deal With a powerful motor and a hide away wing, Push in on the button, you will hear her sing Now you can't catch me, Baby, you can't catch me 'cause if you get too close, You know I'm goin' like cool breeze Hey! Hey! Well, you walk! You walk! New Jersey turnpike in the wee wee hours, I was rollin' slowly 'cause of drizzlin showers Here come a flat-top, he was movin' up with me, Then come waving goodbye in a little old souped up jitney I put my foot in the tank, I began to roll, Moanin' siren, 'twas the state patrol I let out my wings, then I blew my horn, Bye-bye, New Jersey, I become airborn Now you can't catch me, Baby, you can't catch me 'cause if you get too close, You know I'm goin' like cool breeze Hey! Well, you walk! Yeah, walk! I bought a brand new airmobile, 'twas a custom made, 'twas a flightning deal With a powerful motor and a hide away wing, Push in on the button, you will hear her sing Now you can't catch me, Baby, you can't catch me 'cause if you get too close, You know I'm goin' like cool breeze Hey! Hey! Well, you walk! You walk! Flying with my baby last Saturday night, Wasn't a grey cloud floatin' in sight Big, full moon, shinin' up above, Cuddle up, honey, be my love Sweetest little thing that I ever seen, I'm gonna name you Maybellene Flying on the beam, set on flight control, Radio tuned to rock and roll Two, three hours passed us by, Altitude dropped into five-o-five Fuel consumption, way too fast, Let's get on home before we run out of gas Now you can't catch me, Baby, you can't catch me 'cause if you get too close, You know I'm goin' like cool breeze Git it on! Yeah, walk! Git it on, git it on, git it on, do it! Git it on, git it on! You know you can't catch me! |

Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son? Oh, where have you been, my darling young one? I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains, I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways, I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests, I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans, I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard, And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard, And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son? Oh, what did you see, my darling young one? I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it, I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it, I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin', I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin', I saw a white ladder all covered with water, I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken, I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children, And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son? And what did you hear, my darling young one? I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin', Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world, Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin', Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin', Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin', Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter, Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley, And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

I got a girl named Bony Moronie,
She's as skinny as a stick of macaroni, Ought to see her rock 'n' roll with her blue jeans on, She's not very fat just skin and bone. But I love her, she loves me, All are happy now we can be, Making love underneath the apple tree. I told her mama and her papa too, Just exactly what I want to do, I want to get married on a night in June, And rock and roll by the light of a silvery moon, And I love her, she loves me, All are happy now we can be, Making love underneath the apple tree. She's my one and only, she's my heart's desire, She's a real upsetter, she's a real live wire, Everybody turns when my baby walks by, She's something to see, she really catches the eye. That's why I love her, she loves me, All are happy now we can be, Making love underneath the apple tree. That's why I love her, she loves me, All are happy now we can be, Making love underneath the apple tree. |

How many days has it been
Since I was born How many days until I die Do I know any ways That I can make you laugh Or do I only know how to make you cry When the baby looks around him It's such a sight to see He shares a simple secret With the wise man He's a stranger in a strange land Just a stranger in a strange land Tell me why He's a stranger in a strange land Just a stranger in a strange land How many miles will it take To see the sun And how many years until it's done Kiss my confusion away in the night Lay by side when the morning comes And the baby looks around him And shares his bed of hay With the burrow in the palace of the king He's a stranger in a strange land Tell me why He's a stranger in a strange land Just a stranger in a strange land Well, I don't exactly know What's going on in the world today Don't know what there is to say About the way the people are treating Each other, not like brothers Leaders take us far away from ecology With mythology and astrology Has got some words to say About the way we live today Why can't we learn to love each other It's time to turn a new face To the whole world wide human race Stop the money chase Lay back, relax Get back on the human track Stop racing toward oblivion Oh, such a sad, sad state we're in And that's a thing Do you recognize the bells of truth When you hear them ring Won't you stop and listen To the children sing Won't you come on and sing it children He's a stranger in a strange land Just a stranger in a strange land |

She uses beauty like a knife She cuts me even more, she changes Right before my eyes into something ugly and sore. Beauty like a knife She cuts me even more, she changes Right before my eyes into something strange and more.

I've been living a new way
Of life that I love so But I can see the clouds are gathering And the storm will wreck our home For last night he held you tightly And you didn't even shove This is true for I've been watching From the window up above. You must have thought that I was sleeping And I wish that I had been But I guess it's best to know you And the way your heart can sin I thought we belonged together And our hearts fit like a glove I was wrong for I've been watching From the window up above. From my eyes the teardrops started As I listened on and on I heard you whisper to him softly That our marriage was all wrong But I hope he makes you happy And you will never lose his love I was wrong, I was watching From the window up above. How I wish I could be dreaming And wake up to an honest love I was wrong for I was watching From the window up above ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By GEORGE JONES <i>Lyrics © CARLIN AMERICA INC, WINDSWEPT HOLDINGS LLC</i> |

I'm up on the tightrope , one sides hate and one is hope It's a circus game with you and me. I'm up on the tightwire , linked by life and the funeral pyre But the tophat on my head is all you see.

Well I'm going down, Going down a hard road
Just don't know, don't know where I've been But I think I've been walking, I'm walking round in circles Can't even find a friend Woah, my love, my love she's not waiting Think I might've been gone, I've been gone too long People make me crazy I can hardly sing my song Hustlers stand around me, I'm lost and all alone Can't tell the bad from the good I'm lost ins the woods, I'm lost in the woods Big city gamblers, gamblers take my money Yes it gets to be useless, yes it's useless to me And I think I'm lost, when I'm lost inside this jungle Can't see the forest for the tress Well pretty little woman come and get me Try me, try me one more time Yes and your sweet, your sweet understanding Cant' fix this broken heart of mine The vultures fly around, come and take me home Can't tell the bad from the good I'm out in the woods, I'm lost in the woods I'm a man gone crazy in the woods I'm wandering around the bush |

I'm up in Oakland on a Saturday night
Lord, I said I just didn't feel right Goodnight, ladies all around But the right one hadn't found me such a bad night I didn't feel right Then a friend came over 'fore it got too late Asked me if I'd like you as a double date My stars above, I fell in love With the queen of the roller derby (Queen of the roller derby) Yeah, the queen of the roller derby (Queen of the roller derby) Now Queenie's a lady, she's quite a child Oh, she'll make you feel fine Remember the time when a trucker from Dallas Was callous to Queenie with his rude side Now he can't deny, that he gotten much more, than balled before Queenie's right across, running to the floor Now he knows better than to mate With the queen of the roller derby (Queen of the roller derby) The queen of the roller derby (Queen of the roller derby) Oh, as fast as a bullet, she can jam all night Makes a full grown wonder bull die with fright When we get home, alone in love She murmurs like a sweet moaning dove, ooh Oh, such a lady, she's quite a child She'll make me feel good in this heart of mine She's my love, she's a lady She's the queen of the roller derby (Queen of the roller derby) Ah, the queen of the roller derby (Queen of the roller derby) I'm talkin' 'bout the queen of the roller derby (Queen of the roller derby) Yeah, she's the queen of the roller derby (Queen of the roller derby) Oh, queen of the roller derby (Queen of the roller derby) She's the queen of the roller derby (Queen of the roller derby) Ooh |

Can you get us in free,
My girlfriend and me, We like the songs, but we hate to pay. Can I have your guitar, Can I ride on your car, Can you give me a role to play? Can I have an autograph, Can I sit in your lap, Are you really into witchcraft like they say? Can I follow you home, Can I use your telephone, Can we crash here for just a few day? We're from Rolling Stone so it's okay. Oh, What was your name? You're someone I've seen. Has anyone said that you look like James Dean? Can I sit in your lap, Can I give you the clap? Can a rapper don't have much to say? Can I have your guitar, Can I ride on your car? Can you give me a role to play? Can I follow you home, Can I use your telephone? Can we crash here for just a few day, We're from Rolling Stone so it's okay. Ah ha! Can you do a benefit, Have you got any shit, Have you made your peace with Jesus yet today? Would you like to be a monk? C'mon lets go get drunk. Do you think Paul McCartney is okay? Can we crash here for just a few day? Ah, we're from Rolling Stone so it's okay. |

I was just thinking about you today
And the evening we slept in the mountains But I cannot get through to you, find words to say to you Darling you're so far away. Oh no I'm not crying these ain't tears in my eyes I'm so happy I'm dying with laughter If you'd only come over, I'm sure that you'd see, We're not lonesome, my cricket and me. Your picture reminds me I wanted to be free I hurt you I drove you away If you'd just come back over I'm sure that you'd see We're not lonesome, my cricket and me... |

This lonely game we play Looking for the right words to say Searching but not finding Understanding anyway We're lost in this masquerade Both afraid to say we're just too far away From being close together from the start We tried to talk it over But the words got in the way We're lost inside this lonely game we play Throughts of leaving disappear Every time I see your eyes No matter how hard I try To understand the reason That we carry on this way We're lost in this masquerade We could just start over but it's oh so hard to do When you're lost in a masquerade |

Standing by the highway
Suitcase by my side No place I want to go Just thought I'd hitch a ride Many people look my way And many pass me by In moments of reflection I wonder why To the theives I'm a bandit The mothers I'm a son To the preachers I'm a sinner Lord I'm not the only one To the sad ones I'm unhappy To the losers I'm a fool To the students I'm a teacher With the teachers I'm in school To the hobos I'm in prison By everything I own To the soldiers I'm just someone else Dying to go home The Generals sees a number A politician's tool To my friends I'm just an equal In this world Magic Mirror won't you tell please Do I find myself in anyone I see Magic Mirror if we only could Try to see ourselves as others would To policemen I'm suspicious It's in the way I look I'm just another character To feed and brand and book To the censor I'm pornography With no redeeming grace To the hooker I'm a customer Without a face And the sellers think I'm merchandise They'll have me for a song The left ones think I'm right The right ones think I'm wrong And many people look my way And many pass me by And in my quite reflection I wonder why Magic Mirror won't you tell me please Do I see myself in anyone I meet Magic Mirror if we only could Try to see ourselves as others would |

Now the day is gone and I sit alone and think of you, girl
What can I do without you in my life? I guess that our guessing game just had to end that way The hardest one to lose of all the games we played But the time is past for living in a dream world Lying to myself can't make that scene Of wondering if you love me or just making a fool of me Well I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island Chorus: And watch the sun go down (sit and watch the sun go down) Hear the sea roll in (listen to the sea roll in) But I'll be thinking of you (yes, and I'll be thinking of you) And how it might have been (thinking how it might have been) Hear the night birds cry (listen to the night birds cry) Watch the sunset die (sit and watch the sunset die) Well I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island Well all the fun has died, It's raining in my heart I know down in my soul I'm really gonna miss you But it had to end this way with all the games we played Well I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island |

Gather round me people, got a song to sing
'Bout that sweet magnolia thyme Black-eyed Susan made some catfish stew And papa brought some homemade wine All the southern children like to rock'n roll The TV mamas tell you why They got it on the boat from Africa It's a dixie lullaby. Well, Blind Willie Time he had a dime shoe shine Stand down on Beale Street And Willie would stop and say say hello All the shoes he'd meet "Why are you so happy?" said the clean white buck "You got no reason to be happy Mr. Time" And Willie just smiled and Willie popped his rag And sang a dixie lullaby Now you heard the story of my southern home With a honeysuckle wine And any time you think that you might come yourself You ought to keep this thought in mind All you easy riders better watch your step If you're walkin' down below the line That Louisiana man is gonna get you yet With his dixie lullaby He's got a dixie lullaby Oh, it's a dixie lullaby |

But I fell in love last friday evenin With a girl I saw on a bar room t.v. screen Well I was just gettin ready to get my hat When she caught my eye and I put it back And I ordered myself a couple o more shots and beers The night that I fell in love with a roller derby queen Round and round, oh round and round The meanest hunk o woman That anybody ever seen Down in the arena She was five foot six and two fifteen A bleached-blonde mama With a streak of mean She knew how to knuckle And she knew how to scuffle and fight And the roller derby program said That she was built like a fridgerator with a head Her fans call her tuffy But all her buddies called her spike You know that I fell in love with a roller derby queen Round and round, oh round and round The meanest hunk o woman That anybody ever seen Down in the arena Round and round, go round and round Round and round, go round and round Round and round Well I could not help it But to fall in love With this heavy-duty woman I been speakin of Things looked kind of bad Until the day she skated into my life Well she might be nasty She might be fat But I never met a person Who would tell her that Shes my big blonde bomber My heavy handed hackensack mama You know that I fell in love with a roller derby queen Round and round, oh round and round The meanest hunk o woman That anybody ever seen Down in the arena Round and round, go round and round Round and round, go round and round Round and round |

Roll away the stone Don't leave me here alone Resurrect me and protect me Don't leave me laying here What will they do in two thousand years? It's such a strange time that we're passing through I thought you'd tell me when your time was due I guess you thought I knew Strange way to keep avoiding me Why did you lie how could I help but be Oh won't you help me be? |

Try and judge me only by my time and changes
And not mistaken words, for I say many Listen only to my song and watch my eyes There's not much time to spill, there's hardly any Well, look at all the children living in the streets And they're looking, not afraid to touch each other They're not afraid to be themselves or someone else ? Never treat a brother like a passing stranger Honey, won't you always try to keep the love light burning Sing a song of love and open up your heart For you might be the prince of peace returning Yeah, you might be the prince of peace returning Oh, the love the blind and wounded as that you would yourself And the businessmen in cells collecting pennies Judge their wealth by coins that they give away And not the ones that they keep for themselves for spending Oh, never be impatient with the ones who love you It might be yourself that you're burning Sing a song of love and open up your heart For you might be the prince of peace returning Never treat a brother like a passing stranger Honey, won't you always try to keep the love light burning Sing a song of love and open up your heart For you might be the prince of peace returning For you might be the prince of peace returning Oh, if I pay me, if I pay you If I pray to your Jesus then you gonna tell us what you're about to do? What if I pay me and I might pay you Who's got the money? Who's got the money? Who's got the money for, sing the song |

How many days has it been
Since I was born How many days until I die Do I know any ways That I can make you laugh Or do I only know how to make you cry When the baby looks around him It's such a sight to see He shares a simple secret With the wise man He's a stranger in a strange land Just a stranger in a strange land Tell me why He's a stranger in a strange land Just a stranger in a strange land How many miles will it take To see the sun And how many years until it's done Kiss my confusion away in the night Lay by side when the morning comes And the baby looks around him And shares his bed of hay With the burrow in the palace of the king He's a stranger in a strange land Tell me why He's a stranger in a strange land Just a stranger in a strange land Well, I don't exactly know What's going on in the world today Don't know what there is to say About the way the people are treating Each other, not like brothers Leaders take us far away from ecology With mythology and astrology Has got some words to say About the way we live today Why can't we learn to love each other It's time to turn a new face To the whole world wide human race Stop the money chase Lay back, relax Get back on the human track Stop racing toward oblivion Oh, such a sad, sad state we're in And that's a thing Do you recognize the bells of truth When you hear them ring Won't you stop and listen To the children sing Won't you come on and sing it children He's a stranger in a strange land Just a stranger in a strange land |

I've been so many places in my life and time
I've sung a lot of songs, I've made some bad rhymes I've acted out my love on stages With 10,000 people watching But we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you I know your image of me is what I hope to be I treated you unkindly, but darling can't you see There's no one more important to me Darling can't you please see through me 'Cause we're alone now and I'm singing this song to you You taught me precious secrets Of the truth, withholding nothing You came out in front and I was hiding But now, I'm so much better And if my words don't come together Listen to the melody, 'cause my love's in there hiding I love you in a place where there's no space and time I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine And when my life is over Remember when we were together We were alone and I was singing this song to you But I love you in a place where there's no space and time I love you for my life, you are a friend of mine And when my life is over Remember when we were together We were alone and I was singing this song for you We were alone and I was singing this song for you We were alone and I was singing my song Singing this song for you |

Oh, where have you been, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, where have you been, my darling young one? I've stumbled on the side of twelve misty mountains, I've walked and I've crawled on six crooked highways, I've stepped in the middle of seven sad forests, I've been out in front of a dozen dead oceans, I've been ten thousand miles in the mouth of a graveyard, And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, and it's a hard, And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son? Oh, what did you see, my darling young one? I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it, I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it, I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin', I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin', I saw a white ladder all covered with water, I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken, I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children, And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall. And what did you hear, my blue-eyed son? And what did you hear, my darling young one? I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin', Heard the roar of a wave that could drown the whole world, Heard one hundred drummers whose hands were a-blazin', Heard ten thousand whisperin' and nobody listenin', Heard one person starve, I heard many people laughin', Heard the song of a poet who died in the gutter, Heard the sound of a clown who cried in the alley, And it's a hard, and it's a hard, it's a hard, it's a hard, And it's a hard rain's a-gonna fall.

I guess that our guessing game just had to end that way The hardest one to lose of all the games we played But the time is past for living in a dream world Lying to myself can't make that scene Of wondering if you love me or just making a fool of me Well I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island Chorus: And watch the sun go down (sit and watch the sun go down) Hear the sea roll in (listen to the sea roll in) But I'll be thinking of you (yes, and I'll be thinking of you) And how it might have been (thinking how it might have been) Hear the night birds cry (listen to the night birds cry) Watch the sunset die (sit and watch the sunset die) Well I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island Well all the fun has died, It's raining in my heart I know down in my soul I'm really gonna miss you But it had to end this way with all the games we played Well I hope you understand I just had to go back to the island |

Standing by the highway
Suitcase by my side No place I want to go Just thought I'd hitch a ride Many people look my way And many pass me by In moments of reflection I wonder why To the theives I'm a bandit The mothers I'm a son To the preachers I'm a sinner Lord I'm not the only one To the sad ones I'm unhappy To the losers I'm a fool To the students I'm a teacher With the teachers I'm in school To the hobos I'm in prison By everything I own To the soldiers I'm just someone else Dying to go home The Generals sees a number A politician's tool To my friends I'm just an equal In this world Magic Mirror won't you tell please Do I find myself in anyone I see Magic Mirror if we only could Try to see ourselves as others would To policemen I'm suspicious It's in the way I look I'm just another character To feed and brand and book To the censor I'm pornography With no redeeming grace To the hooker I'm a customer Without a face And the sellers think I'm merchandise They'll have me for a song The left ones think I'm right The right ones think I'm wrong And many people look my way And many pass me by And in my quite reflection I wonder why Magic Mirror won't you tell me please Do I see myself in anyone I meet Magic Mirror if we only could Try to see ourselves as others would |

Yeah, I'm Lost in the night
the icy wind is howlin out your name and desolation lingers like a fog the fire is growing dimmer in the wind I'm out in the rain the moon has gone behind the cloud again and I can`t stand to live another day Cause my Bluebird went away And I'm locked in this room with my sorrow no escape, no way to get away And my only connection with tomorrow is hoping that You might decidenot to stay away Oh I'm out on a limb If I could only find sweet love again to live my life this way is too much to bare Can't find my Bluebird anywhere anywhere oh... Oh, I'm Lost in the rain the icy wind is howlin out your name and desolation lingers like a fog the fire is growing dimmer with the wind I'm out in the rain the moon has gone behind the cloud again I can't stand to live another day Bluebird why did you, go away, tell me Bluebird why did you go away Oh, Little Bluebird why did you, go away, tell me Bluebird why did you go away |
