The other day, I posted something in another thread where I asked members what was the first word that popped into their head when they saw/heard the word "cheap"?
My first response was from
Whoknows and his reply was "perfume". That phrase, cheap perfume, made me instantly think of Journey's DON'T STOP BELIEVING. The post went in a different direction from what I planned but it was so much fun! Example, there were other responses to the word "cheap" that included shoddy, floozy and several more and
huxley999 was able to cite songs with those words in them!
Let's pick a RANDOM word and see if a song comes to mind. My guess is not every word will trigger a song to pop into our heads, but who knows. If you would kindly post a few lines of the song that reflects "the word", the name of the song and the artist and if you like, a YouTube link to the song. PLEASE ATTACH YOUR SONG TO THE PARTICULAR "WORD OF THE DAY".
Let's have some musical fun!

No I'd rather go and journey
Where the diamond crescent's glowing
And run across the valley
Beneath the sacred mountain
And wander through the forest
Where the trees have leaves of prisms
And break the light in colors
That no one know the names of
And when it's time I'll go and lay
Beside the legendary fountain
'Till I see her form reflected
In its clear and jewelled waters
And if you think I'm ready
You may lead me to the chasm
Where the rivers of our visions
Flow into one another
I will want to dive beneath the white cascading waters
She may beg, she may plead, she may argue with her logic
And mention all the things I'll lose
That really have no value in the end she will surely know
I wasn't born to FOLLOW
One day you'll look to see I've gone
For tomorrow may rain, so I'll follow the sun
Some day you'll know I was the one
But tomorrow may rain, so
I'll FOLLOW the sun
And now the time has come
And so my love I must go
And though I lose a friend
In the end you'll know
Oooh
One day you'll find that I have gone
But tomorrow may rain, so
I'll FOLLOW the sun
Yes, tomorrow may rain, so
I'll FOLLOW the sun
And now the time has come
And so my love I must go
And though I lose a friend
In the end you'll know
Oooh
One day you'll find that I have gone
But tomorrow may rain, so
I'll FOLLOW the sun

Can't believe it's really you
You still look the way you used to
All this time, what have you done?
Won't you tell me, what you've been through?
And maybe if you want to
Let's talk for a while
Dance floor dust
Never quite settles
Busy feet remember still
The way we moved so close in the darkness
All the music, the magic, the thrill
I must have been so lost in the moment
I missed the chance to make you my own
Now I know
Now I know
Now I know
I should've FOLLOWED you home
Yeah, should've followed you home
So familiar and so right
You never left me since that one night
Though we try to say goodbye
Some things stay with you your whole life
For your whole life
Dance floor dust
Never quite settles
Busy feet remember still
The way we moved so close in the darkness
All the music, the magic, the thrill
I must have been so lost in the moment
I missed the chance to make you my own
Now I know
Now I know
I should've followed you home
Snow falls
Street lights paint your face
Smile and say "take care"
I'll see you soon again
Maybe if you want to
I'll see you soon again
Dance floor dust
Never quite settles
Busy feet remember still
The way we moved so close in the darkness
All the music, the magic, the thrill
I must have been so lost in the moment
I missed the chance to make you my own
Now I know
Now I know
Now I know
I should've followed you home
Yeah, should've followed you home
Oh, should've followed you home
Yeah
Yeah, should've followed you home
Yeah
Yeah
Ooh, followed you home

Alone with you

Follow me, all the
Days and nights that we
Know will be, I will
Stay with you, will you
Stay with me, just one
Single tear in each
Passing year
With the dark
Oh, I see so very clearly now
All my fears are drifting by me so slowly now
Fading away
I can say
The night is long, but you are here
Close at hand, oh, I'm better for the smile you give
And while I live I will
Follow you, will you
Follow me all the
Days and nights that we
Know will be, I will
Stay with you, will you
Stay with me, just one
Single tear in each
Passing year there will be

I was on the outside when you said, you said you needed me
I was looking at myself, I was blind, I could not see
A boy tries hard to be a man
His mother takes him by his hand
If he stops to think he starts to cry, oh, why?
If you walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away, I will FOLLOW
If you walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away, I will FOLLOW (I will FOLLOW)
I was on the inside when they pulled the four walls down
I was looking through the window, I was lost, I am found
Walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away, I will FOLLOW
If you walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away, I will FOLLOW (I will FOLLOW)
Your eyes make a circle
I see you when I go in there
Your eyes, yo-yo-your eyes

I'M FREE- I'm free,
And freedom tastes of reality,
I'm free-I'm free,
AN' I'm waiting for you to follow me
If I told you what it takes
To reach the highest high,
You'd laugh and say 'nothing's that simple'
But you've been told many times before
Messiahs pointed to the door
And no one had the guts to leave the temple!
I'm free-I'm free
And freedom tastes of reality
I'm free-I'm free
And I'm waiting for you to follow me

Well you think you had a good time
With the boy that you just met
Kicking sand from beach to beach
Your clothes all soaking wet
But if you look around and see
A shadow on the run
Don't be too surprised if its just a PAPER sun
Ahh paper sun, ahh paper sun
In the room where you've been sleeping
All your clothes all thrown about
Cigarettes burn window sills
Your meter's all run out
But then again its nothing
You just split when day is done
Pitching lips to nowhere, hung up on the paper sun
Standing in the cool of my room
Fresh cut flowers give me sweet perfume
Too much sun will burn!
When you're feeling tired and lonely
You see people going home
You can't make the train fare
Or the six pence for the phone
And icicles your crying
From your cheek have just begun
Don't be sad, good times are had
Beneath the paper sun
Daylight breaks while you sleep on the sand
A seagull is stealing the ring from your hand
The boy who had given you so much fun
Has left you so cold in the paper sun
The pretty PAPER, pretty ribbons of blue
Pretty PAPER , pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write "I love you"
Pretty PAPER , pretty ribbons of blue
Crowded street, busy feet hustle by him
Downtown shoppers, Christmas is nigh
There he sits all alone on the sidewalk
Hoping that you won't pass him by
Should you stop, better not, much too busy
You're in a hurry, my how time does fly
In the distance the ringing of laughter
And in the midst of the laughter he cries
Pretty PAPER , pretty ribbons of blue
Wrap your presents to your darling from you
Pretty pencils to write "I love you"
Pretty PAPER , pretty ribbons of blue

Two of us riding nowhere
Spending someone's hard-earned pay
You and me Sunday driving
Not arriving on our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home
Two of us sending postcards
Writing letters on my wall
You and me burning matches
Lifting latches on our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home
You and I have memories
Longer than the road that stretches out ahead
Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing solo in the sun
You and me chasing PAPER
Getting nowhere on our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home
You and I have memories
Longer than the road that stretches out ahead
Two of us wearing raincoats
Standing solo in the sun
You and me chasing PAPER
Getting nowhere on our way back home
We're on our way home
We're on our way home
We're going home
We're going home
Better believe it
Goodbye

The lunatic is on the grass
The lunatic is on the grass
Remembering games
And daisy chains and laughs
Got to keep the loonies on the path
The lunatic is in the hall
The lunatics are in my hall
The PAPER holds their folded faces to the floor
And every day the PAPER boy brings more
And if the dam breaks open many years too soon
And if there is no room upon the hill
And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
The lunatic is in my head
The lunatic is in my head
You raise the blade
You make the change
You rearrange me 'til I'm sane
You lock the door
And throw away the key
There's someone in my head, but it's not me
And if the cloud bursts thunder in your ear
You shout and no one seems to hear
And if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
I'll see you on the dark side of the moon
I can't think of anything to say except, laughing is nice

Goodbye, Norma Jeane
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
They crawled out of the woodwork
And they whispered into your brain
They set you on the treadmill
And they made you change your name
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would've liked to know you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
Loneliness was tough
The toughest role you ever played
Hollywood created a superstar
And pain was the price you paid
Even when you died
Oh, the press still hounded you
All the PAPERS had to say
Was that Marilyn was found in the nude
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would've liked to know you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
Goodbye, Norma Jeane
Though I never knew you at all
You had the grace to hold yourself
While those around you crawled
Goodbye, Norma Jeane
From the young man in the 22nd row
Who sees you as something more than sexual
More than just our Marilyn Monroe
And it seems to me you lived your life
Like a candle in the wind
Never knowing who to cling to
When the rain set in
And I would've liked to know you
But I was just a kid
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
Your candle burned out long before
Your legend ever did
Well, yeah
Woo!
Ooh
Flew in from Miami Beach B.O.A.C
Didn't get to bed last night
On the way the PAPER bag was on my knee
Man, I had a dreadful flight
I'm back in the U.S.S.R
You don't know how lucky you are, boy
Back in the U.S.S.R
Been away so long, I hardly knew the place
Gee, it's good to be back home
Leave it 'til tomorrow to unpack my case
Honey, disconnect the phone
I'm back in the U.S.S.R
You don't know how lucky you are, boy
Back in the U.S
Back in the U.S
Back in the U.S.S.R
Well
The Ukraine girls really knock me out
They leave the West behind
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout
That Georgia's always on
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my mind
Oh, come on!
Woo! (Hey)
Woo! (Yeah)
Woo! (Yeah)
Hell, yeah
Hey, I'm back In the U.S.S.R
You don't know how lucky you are, boys
Back in the U.S.S.R
Well
The Ukraine girls really knock me out
They leave the West behind
And Moscow girls make me sing and shout
That Georgia's always on
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my mind
Oh, show me 'round your snow-peaked mountains
Way down south
Take me to your daddy's farm
Let me hear your balalaikas ringing out
Come and keep your comrade warm
I'm back In the U.S.S.R
You don't know how lucky you are, boy
Back in the U.S.S.R
Oh, let me tell you, honey
Hey, I'm back
I'm back In the U.S.S.R
Hey, it's so good to be home
Yeah, back In the U.S.S.R

[Verse 1]
Blue RIVER
It can't be found on any map that I know
But it's the place where lonely lovers all go
To cry their tears
Blue river
It winds along a path of heartache and pain
Of broken dreams from loving someone in vain
Like I loved you, and baby I still do
[Verse 2]
I held you so tight
You were out of my sight
I'm feeling so low
But I gotta go
Blue river
Because you never really cared about me
From now on baby that's where I'm gonna be
Crying over you, by the river of blue, oh yeah
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
I held you so tight
You were out of my sight
I'm feeling so low
But I got to go
Blue river
Because you never really cared about me
From now on baby that's where I'm gonna be
Crying over you, by the river of blue, oh yeah
[Verse 2]
I held you so tight
You were out of my sight
I'm feeling so low
But I got to go
Blue river
Because you never really cared about me
From now on baby that's where I'm gonna be
Crying over you, by the river of blue

I come from down in the valley
Where, mister, when you're young
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
Me and Mary we met in high school
When she was just seventeen
We'd ride out of this valley down to where the fields were green
We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh, down to the river we'd ride
Then I got Mary pregnant
And, man, that was all she wrote
And for my nineteenth birthday I got a union card and a wedding coat
We went down to the courthouse
And the judge put it all to rest
No wedding day smiles, no walk down the aisle
No flowers, no wedding dress
That night we went down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh, down to the river we did ride
Ah-yah
I got a job working construction for the Johnstown Company
But lately there ain't been much work on account of the economy
Now all them things that seemed so important
Well, mister, they vanished right into the air
Now I just act like I don't remember
And Mary acts like she don't care
But I remember us riding in my brother's car
Her body tan and wet down at the reservoir
At night on them banks I'd lie awake
And pull her close just to feel each breath she'd take
Now those memories come back to haunt me
They haunt me like a curse
Is a dream a lie if it don't come true
Or is it something worse
That sends me down to the river
Though I know the river is dry
That sends me down to the river tonight
Ah-yah-yah
Down to the river
My baby and I
Oh, down to the river we ride
Ah-yah-ay
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh
[Tina:]
You know, every now and then
I think you might like to hear something from us
Nice and easy but there's just one thing
You see, we never ever do nothing nice and easy
We always do it nice and rough
So we're going to take the beginning of this song
And do it easy
Then we're going to do the finish rough
This is the way we do 'Proud Mary'
[Ike:]
Left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
Worrying 'bout the way that things might have been
[Ike and Tina:]
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling
Rolling on the RIVER
Listen to the story
Left a good job in the city
Working for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleeping
Worrying 'bout the way that things might have been
Big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling, rolling
Rolling yeah
Rolling
Rolling on the river
Rolling on the river
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Ya know I pumped a lot of 'tane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
Until I hitched a ride on the riverboat queen
Ya know the big wheel keep on turning
Proud Mary keep on burning
And we're rolling (Rolling)
Rolling yeah (Rolling)
Rolling on the river (Rolling on the river)
Said we're rolling (Rolling)

Many RIVERS to cross
But I can't seem to find my way over
Wandering I am lost
As I travel along the white cliffs of Dover
Yes, I've goy many rivers to cross
And it's only my will that keeps me alive
Cause I've been licked, washed up for years
And I merely survive because of my pride
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
Cause my man left me and he didn't say why
So I guess, I'll have to cry
I've got many rivers to cross
But just where to begin, I'm playing for time
Cause there've been times I find myself
Thinking of committing, a dreadful crime
And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on your own
Cause my man left me and he didn't say why
So I guess, I'll have to cry
I've got many rivers to cross
But just where to begin
I'm playing for time
But I've been licked and washed up for years
And I merely survive because of my pride
Many rivers to cross, oh, cross

Be on my side. I'll be on your side, baby.
There is no reason for you to hide.
It's so hard for me staying here all alone,
When you could be taking me for a ride.
She could drag me over the rainbow,
Send me away.
Down by the RIVER ,
I shot my baby.
Down by the RIVER .
Dead, ooh, ooh, shot her dead, ooh.
You take my hand, I'll take your hand.
Together we may get away.
This much madness is too much sorrow.
It's impossible to make it today.
She could drag me over the rainbow,
Send me away.

Dead, dead, ooh, ooh, shot her dead, shot her dead.

Moon River, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're going, I'm going your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after the same rainbow's end, waiting, round the bend
My Huckleberry Friend, Moon River, and me
Moon river, wider than a mile
I'm crossing you in style some day
Oh, dream maker, you heart breaker
Wherever you're going, I'm going your way
Two drifters, off to see the world
There's such a lot of world to see
We're after that same rainbow's end, waiting, round the bend
My Huckleberry Friend, Moon River, and me
Listen, baby
Ain't no mountain high
Ain't no valley low
Ain't no RIVER wide enough, baby
If you need me, call me
No matter where you are
No matter how far (don't worry, baby)
Just call my name
I'll be there in a hurry
You don't have to worry
Cause baby there
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you, babe
Remember the day
I set you free
I told you you could always count on me, darling
From that day on, I made a vow
I'll be there when you want me
Some way, some how
Cause baby there
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you, babe
Oh no, darling
No wind, no rain
Nor winter's cold
Can't stop me baby
No no baby
Cause you are my goal
If you're ever in trouble
I'll be there on the double
Just send for me
Oh baby!
My love is alive
Way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart
If you ever need a helping hand
I'll be there on the double
Just as fast as I can
Don't you know that there...
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no RIVER wide enough
To keep me from getting to you babe
Don't you know that there...
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no RIVER wide enough
Ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
They got loose to you
Here it comes
Oh, whoa-whoa
Big wheels keep on turnin'
Carry me home to see my kin
Singin' songs about the Southland
I miss Alabamy once again, and I think it's a sin, I said
Well, I heard Mr. Young sing about her
Well, I heard old Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A Southern man don't need him around, anyhow
Sweet HOME Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet HOME Alabama
Lord, I'm comin' HOME to you
One thing I wanna tell you
In Birmingham, they love the governor (boo, boo, boo!)
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me, uh-uh
Does your conscience bother you? Tell the truth
Sweet HOME Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet HOME Alabama (oh, my baby)
Lord, I'm comin' HOME to you (here I come, Alabama)
Speak your mind
Ah-ah-ah (can you feel that?), Alabama
Ah-ah-ah, Alabama
Ah-ah-ah, Alabama
Ah-ah-ah, Alabama
Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
And they've been known to pick a song or two (yes, they do)
Lord, they get me off so much
They pick me up when I'm feelin' blue, now how 'bout you?
Sweet HOME Alabama (oh)
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet HOME Alabama
Lord, I'm comin' HOME to you
Sweet HOME Alabama (HOME, sweet HOME , baby)
Where the skies are so blue (and the governor's, too)
Sweet HOME Alabama (Lord, yeah)
Lord, I'm comin' HOME to you (whoo, whoa, yeah, oh)
Alright, brother, now
Wait one minute

We come on the sloop John B
My grandfather and me
Around Nassau town we did roam
Drinking all night
Got into a fight
Well, I feel so broke up
I want to go HOME
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the captain ashore
Let me go home
Let me go home
I wanna go home, yeah, yeah
Well, I feel so broke up
I wanna go home
The first mate he got drunk
And broke in the captain's trunk
The constable had to come and take him away
Sheriff John Stone
Why don't you leave me alone? Yeah, yeah
Well, I feel so broke up
I wanna go home
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the captain ashore
Let me go home
Let me go home
I wanna go home
Let me go home
Why don't you let me go home?
(Hoist up the John B's sail)
Hoist up the John B
Well, I feel so broke up
I wanna go home
Let me go home
The poor cook he caught the fits
And threw away all my grits
And then he took and he ate up all of my corn
Let me go home
Why don't they let me go home?
This is the worst trip
I've ever been on
So hoist up the John B's sail
See how the mainsail sets
Call for the captain ashore
Let me go home
Let me go home
I wanna go home
Let me go home
Why don't you let me go home?

I am just a poor boy
Though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance
For a pocketful of mumbles
Such are promises
All lies and jest
Still, a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest
When I left my HOME and my family
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of a railway station
Running scared
Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters
Where the ragged people go
Looking for the places only they would know
Lie-la-lie...
Asking only workman's wages
I come looking for a job
But I get no offers
Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue
I do declare there were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there
Lie-la-lie...
Then I'm laying out my winter clothes
And wishing I was gone
Going home
Where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me
Leading me
Going home
In the clearing stands a boxer
And a fighter by his trade
And he carries the reminders
Of every glove that laid him down
OR cut him 'til he cried out
In his anger and his shame
"I am leaving, I am leaving"
But the fighter still remains

I left my HOME in Norfolk Virginia, California on my mind
I straddled that Greyhound and rolled in into Raleigh and all across Carolina
We stopped in Charlotte and bypassed Rock Hill, and we never was a minute late
We was 90 miles out of Atlanta by sundown rollin' out of Georgia state
We had motor trouble it turned into a struggle half way across Alabam'
And that 'hound broke down and left us all stranded in downtown Birmingham
Right away, I bought me a through train ticket, ridin' cross Mississippi clean
And I was on that midnight flier out of Birmingham, smoking into New Orleans
Somebody help me get out of Louisiana just help me get to Houston town
There are people there who care a little 'bout me, and they won't let the poor boy down
Sure as you're born, they bought me a silk suit, put luggage in my hands
And I woke up high over Albuquerque on a jet to the promised land
Workin' on a T-bone steak à la carte, flying over to the Golden State
Oh, when the pilot told me in thirteen minutes, we'd be headin' in the terminal gate
Swing low chariot, come down easy, taxi to the terminal zone
Cut your engines, cool your wings, and let me make it to the telephone
Los Angeles give me Norfolk Virginia, tidewater four-ten-O-nine
Tell the folks back home this is the promised land callin' and the poor boy's on the line

You know I'm a dreamer
But my heart's of gold
I had to run away high
So I wouldn't come HOME low
Just when things went right
It doesn't mean they were always wrong
Just take this song
And you'll never feel left all alone
Take me to your heart
Feel me in your bones
Just one more night
And I'm coming off this long and winding road
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
HOME sweet HOME
Tonight, tonight
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
HOME sweet HOME
You know that I've seen
Too many romantic dreams
Up in lights, falling off the silver screen
My heart's like an open book
For the whole world to read
Sometime nothing keeps me together at the seams
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
HOME sweet HOME
Tonight, tonight
I'm on my way
Just set me free
HOME sweet HOME
HOME sweet HOME
HOME sweet HOME
HOME sweet HOME
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
HOME sweet HOME
Yeah, I'm on my way
Just set me free

He's a court jester with a broken heart
He said, "Turn me around and take me back to the start"

Baby
Well, I'm so tired of crying
But I'm out on the ROAD again
I'm on the ROAD again
Well, I'm so tired of crying
But I'm out on the ROAD again
I'm on the ROAD again
I ain't got no woman
Just to call my special friend
You know the first time I traveled
Out in the rain and snow
In the rain and snow
You know the first time I traveled
Out in the rain and snow
In the rain and snow
I didn't have no payroll
Not even no place to go
And my dear mother left me
When I was quite young
When I was quite young
And my dear mother left me
When I was quite young
When I was quite young
She said, "Lord, have mercy
On my wicked son."
Take a hint from me, mama
Please don't you cry no more
Don't you cry no more
Take a hint from me, mama
Please don't you cry no more
Don't you cry no more
'Cause it's soon one morning
Down the ROAD I'm going
But I ain't going down
That long old lonesome ROAD
All by myself
But I ain't going down
That long old lonesome ROAD
All by myself
I can't carry you, baby
Gonna carry somebody else

The long and winding ROAD
That leads to your door
Will never disappear
I've seen that road before
It always leads me here
Lead me to you door
The wild and windy night
That the rain washed away
Has left a pool of tears
Crying for the day
Why leave me standing here?
Let me know the way
Many times I've been alone
And many times I've cried
Anyway, you'll never know
The many ways I've tried
And still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me standing here
A long, long time ago
Don't leave me waiting here
Lead me to your door
But still they lead me back
To the long winding road
You left me standing here
A long, long time ago
Don't keep me waiting here
Lead me to your door
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

When are you gonna come down?
When are you going to land?
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man
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
What do you think you'll do then?
I bet they'll shoot down the plane
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics
To set you on your feet again
Maybe you'll get a replacement
There's plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
Sniffing for tidbits like you
On the ground, 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

I've been on this lonely ROAD so long
Does anybody know where it goes
I remember the last time
The signs pointed home a month ago
Rented cars and empty motel rooms
Lead you everywhere but home
Crowds of people shouting
How they love the show
They don't know
The endless crowds of faces
Just keep on wearing a smile
The countless times and places lead me back
Please take me back home
I wonder if these feelings ever change
How many times I'll lift this load
Come tomorrow I'll be gone again
Roads of sorrows coming to an end for me
The endless crowds of faces
Just keep on wearing a smile
The countless times and places lead me back
Please take me back home
I wonder if these feelings ever change
How many times I'll lift this load
Come tomorrow I'll be gone again
Roads of sorrows coming to an end for me

Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue ridge mountains, Shenandoah river
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia
Mountain mamma, take me home
Country roads
All my memories, gather round her
Modest lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia
Mountain mamma, take me home
Country roads
I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me
Radio reminds me of my home far away
Driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia
Mountain mamma, take me home
Country roads
Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia
Mountain mamma, take me home
Country roads
Take me home, down country roads
Take me home, down country roads

No I don't know where I'm going
But, I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises
In songs of yesterday
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
Though I keep searching for an answer
I never seem to find what I'm looking for
Oh Lord, I pray, you give me strength to carry on
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
And here I go again on my own
Going down the only ROAD I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
I'm just another heart in need of rescue
Waiting on love's sweet charity
And I'm gonna hold on
For the rest of my days
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
And here I go again on my own
Going down the only ROAD I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
But, here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go again
Ooh baby, oh yeah
And I've made up my mind, oh baby
I ain't wasting no more time
And here I go again on my own
Going down the only ROAD I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
'Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
And here I go again on my own
Going down the only ROAD I've ever known

I'm so tired of being alone
I'm so tired of on-my-own
Won't you help me, girl

To make you say that you love me

I'm so tired of being alone

[Verse 1]
Born in the heat of the desert
My mother died giving me life
Deprived of the love of a father
Blamed for the loss of his wife
You know, Lord, I've been in a prison
For something that I never done
It's been one hill after another
I've climbed them all one by one
[Chorus]
Ooh, this time, Lord you gave me a mountain
A mountain I may never climb
It isn't a hill any longer
You gave me a mountain this time
[Verse 2]
My woman got TIRED of the heartaches
Tired of the grief and the strife
So tired of working for nothing
Just tired of being my wife
She took my one ray of sunshine
She took my pride and my joy
She took my reason for living
She took my small baby boy
Ooh, this time, Lord, you gave me a mountain
A mountain I may never climb
It isn't a hill any longer
You gave me a mountain this time
You gave me a mountain this time

I looked out this morning and the sun was gone
Turned on some music to start my day
I lost myself in a familiar song
I closed my eyes and I slipped away
It's more than a feeling
(More than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play
(More than a feeling)
I begin dreaming
(More than a feeling)
'Til I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away
So many people have come and gone
Their faces fade as the years go by
Yet I still recall as I wander on
As clear as the sun in the summer sky
It's more than a feeling
(More than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play
(More than a feeling)
I begin dreaming
(More than a feeling)
'Til I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away
When I'm TIRED and thinking cold
I hide in my music, forget the day
And dream of a girl I used to know
I closed my eyes and she slipped away
She slipped away
It's more than a feeling
(More than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play
(More than a feeling)
I begin dreaming
(More than a feeling)
'Til I see Marianne walk away

And where are you when the sun go down?
You're so far away from me
You're so far away from me

You're so far away from me
You're so far away from me, alright

You look good in blue
It matches your skin your eyes dripping with pain
Someone like you, getting off on the lies
'Cause it dulls your surprise again
If it's alright with you, I could give some head
And shoulders to lie on

I know what you mean when, you say you've seen the end
Someone like you been at it again
You knew what was up in the end
If it's alright with you

Throw your weight on me baby
Don't complain on me baby
Escape in me next to me

On every tree there sits a bird, singing a SONG of love
On every tree there sits a bird, and ev'ryone I ever heard
Could break my heart without a word singing a song of love
A song of love is a sad song, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
A song of love is a song of woe, don't ask me how I know
A song of love is a sad song, for I have loved and it's so
I sit at the window and watch the rain, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
Tomorrow I'll probably love again, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
A tear for him, a tear for me, A tear for the love he swore
A tear for him and one for me, and one for under the cedar tree
And one for where ever my love my be, and then I shall weep no more
A song of love is a sad song, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
A song of love is a song of woe, don't ask me how I know
A song of love is a sad song, for I have loved and it's so
I sit at the window and watch the rain, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo
Tomorrow i'll probably love again, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lili, Hi-Lo

Here is my SONG for the asking
Ask me and I will play
So sweetly, I'll make you smile
This is my tune for the taking
Take it, don't turn away
I've been waiting all my life
Thinking it over, I've been sad
Thinking it over, I'd be more than glad
To change my ways for the asking
Ask me and I will play
All the love that I hold inside
Hm
Hm

Where you can hear a country SONG from far
And someone play the honky-tonk guitar
Where all the lights will go out one by one
The people join the song and the wind takes it away
Where the Mississippi rolls down to the sea
And lovers found the place they'd like to be
How many times before the song was ending
Love and understanding everywhere around
Mississippi
I'll remember you
Whenever I should go away
I'll be longing for the day
That I will be in Greenville again
Mississippi
You'll be on my mind
Every time I hear this song
Mississippi roll along
Until the end of time
Now the country song forever lost its soul
When the guitar player turned to rock 'n' roll
And every time when summer nights are fallin'
I will always be callin', dreams of yesterday
Mississippi
I'll remember you
Whenever I should go away
I'll be longing for the day
That I will be in Greenville again
Mississippi
You'll be on my mind
Every time I hear this song
Mississippi roll along
Until the end of time
Every time I hear this song
Mississippi roll along
Until the end of time
Like a small boat on the ocean
Sending big waves into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion
And all those things I didn't say
Were wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?
This is my fight SONG (hey)
Take back my life SONG (hey)
Prove I'm alright SONG (hey, ha)
My power's turned on (hey)
Starting right now, I'll be strong (hey)
I'll play my fight SONG (hey)
And I don't really care if nobody else believes (ha)
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me
Losing friends and I'm chasing sleep
Everybody's worried 'bout me
In too deep, say I'm in too deep (I'm in too deep)
And it's been two years, I miss my home
But there's a fire burning in my bones
Still believe, yeah, I still believe
And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream 'em loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time?
This is my fight SONG (hey)
Take back my life SONG (hey)
Prove I'm alright SONG (hey, ha)
My power's turned on (hey)
Starting right now, I'll be strong (hey)
I'll play my fight SONG (hey)
And I don't really care if nobody else believes (ha)
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me
A lot of fight left in me
Like a small boat on the ocean
Sending big waves into motion
Like how a single word

Starting right now, I'll be strong (I'll be strong)
I'll play my fight SONG (hey)
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me
No, I've still got a lot of fight left in me

Get yourself cooler, lay yourself low
Coincidental murder with nothing to show
When the judge's constipation go to his head
And his wife's aggravation, you're soon enough dead
It's the same old story
Same old SONG and dance, my friend
It's the same old story
Same old SONG and dance, my friend
Gotcha with the cocaine, they found with your gun
No smooth-face lawyer to getcha undone
Say love ain't the same on the south side of town
You could look but you ain't gonna find it around
It's the same old story
Same old SONG and dance, my friend
It's the same old story, same old story
Same old SONG and dance
Fate comes a-knockin', doors start lockin'
Your old-time connection change your direction
Ain't gonna change it, can't rearrange it
Can't stand the pain when it's all the same to you, my friend
When you're low down and dirt from walkin' the street
With your old hurdy-gurdy no one to meet
Say love ain't the same on the south side of town
You could look but you ain't gonna find it around
It's the same old story
Same old SONG and dance, my friend
It's the same old story, same old story
Same old SONG and dance
