I think I'm goin' mad and it's makin' me sad, It's a yearnin' for my old back door. I realize maybe I was born to lead, better swallow my silly country pride.
Goin' home, running' home, down the Gasoline Alley where I started from. Goin' home, and I'm running' home, down the Gasoline Alley where I was born.
When the weather's better and rails unfreeze, And the wind won't whistle 'round my knees, I'll put on my weather suit and catch you in the rain. I'll be home before the milk's upon the door.
Goin' home, running' home, down the Gasoline Alley where I started from. Goin' home, and I'm running' home, down the Gasoline Alley where I was born.
But if anything should happen and my plans go wrong, Should I stray to the house on the hill, Let it be known that my intentions were good, I'd be singing in my alley if I could
And if I'm goin' away and it's my turn to go,' Should the blood run cold in my veins, Just one favor I'd be askin' of you, Don't bury me here it's too cold.
Take me back carry me back down to Gasoline Alley where I started from. Take me back, won't cha carry me home down to Gasoline Alley where I started from.
Take me back carry me back down to gasoline Alley where I started from. Take me back, won't cha carry me home down to

Baby cried the day the circus came to town. 'Cause she didn't like parades just passing by her. So she painted on a smile and took up with some clown. And she danced without a net upon the wire. I know a lots about her'cause you see. Baby is an awful lot like me.
We don't cry out loud, we keep it inside. Leam how to hide our feelings, fly high and proud. And if you should fall remember you almost had it all.
Baby saw the day they pulled the big top down. They left be-hind her dreams among the litter. And the dif- f'rent kind of love she thought she'd found was nothing more than sawdust and sorne glitter. But baby can't be broken 'cause you see. She had the finest teacher, that's me.
I taught her don't cry out loud, just keep it inside. Leam how to hide your feelings, fly high and proud. And if you should fall remember you almost had it. Don't cry out loud, keep it inside..
Everywhere I go I see a face we used to know I pass a place we used to go when you were mine since you went away my heart's not free it keeps raining down on me will there be a day when the sun will shine
I want to see the sunshine after the rain I want to see bluebirds flying over the mountains again sunshine after the rain oh where is the silver lining shining at the rainbow's end when I hear your name I start to cry, each day's the same since your goodbye it's like a game, forgetting you
every night I pray tomorrow brings a sunny day and happy things just like the way it used to be for you and me I want to see the sunshine after the rain I want to see bluebirds flying over the mountains again sunshine after the rain oh where is the silver lining shining at the rainbow's end
everywhere I go I see a face we used to know I pass a place we used to go when you were mine since you went away since you went away my heart's not free it keeps raining down on me will there be a day when the sun will shine
I want to see the sunshine after the rain I want to see bluebirds flying over the mountains again sunshine after the rain oh where is the silver lining shining at the rainbow's end I want to see the sunshine after the rain I want to see bluebirds flying over the mountains again sunshine after the rain oh where is the silver lining shining at the rainbow's end
Just why I stayed around When all I found was heartache I believed your every word Didn't know the hurt and pain that you'd make But why did it take so long At last now I've seen the light I've found the heart to say
No more the fool who waits around Waiting for you to bring me down Those days are gone now No more the nights lying awake Crying and waiting for the day to break No more the sound as my dreams Fall and hit the ground While I wait around No more the fool
You thought I'd break, then you were wrong That I won't see what's going on But I knew Here I am, I'm alive And you'll see I'll survive without you And I won't be the one who comes running It ain't like it used to be It's your turn to run to me
No more the fool who waits around Waiting for you to bring me down Those days are gone now No more the nights lying awake Crying and waiting for the day to break No more the sound as my dreams Fall and hit the ground While I wait around No more the fool
All the nights I've waited for you to call I've waited for a sign that you would stay But it's so clear You didn't care at all
No more the fool
No more the fool who waits around No more the fool No more the clown
No more the fool
No more the sight no more the sound As my dreams fall and hit the ground No more the fool
No more the fool who waits around Waiting for you to bring me down Those days are gone now No more the nights lying awake Crying and waiting for the day to break No more the sound as my dreams Fall and hit the ground While I wait around No more the fool
No more the fool who waits around No more the fool no more the clown
No more the fool
No more the sight No more sound As my dreams fall and hit the ground
