You and I here all alone
Sunday morning here at home
The sky is blue as the coffee’s strong
It’s true
But then I open my eyes
To this dream realized
In front of me
Oh and I haven’t got a clue
What in the world is happening to me
I think I’m happy
Like the first day of summer vacation
Happy when I get some rest and relaxation
Happy like the choir on Sunday morning
Sweet and true
Oo sister when you cook that way
Sweet distraction rules the day
The kitchen table honey just might break
To the sound of you and I rockin our bodies
I don’t understand why I wasn’t your lover man
A hundred years ago
The fellas are gonna have to understand
And tip their hats to the man who scored
Hot damn I’m so happy
Like lovin you all night long
Happy and sleeping on our front lawn
Happy like hearing my favorite song on the radio
Take me to the bridge
Cuz I’ve been round this world a hundred times
And I never knew love could happen this way
I think of you so often and I know that you are
Thinking of me too
That makes me so happy
Happy like the first day of summer vacation
Happy apple pie and relaxation
Like peace all round the world we’re living on
When we met I was wide eyed city boy
Singin in the streets to feed my hope and joy
We had mad lovin and so fast was our flame
When it went out you got so mad
Talkin trash bout me
Comin round at me
Making a tale of fool’s gold my reputation
Little miss sunshine’s who I met that day
When I walked out it felt like a hurricane
Thought I knew ya
Like I could see right through ya
But the look in your eyes took me by surprise
And I lost control
Thought I knew ya
Like I had a direct line to ya
But I was wrong
Then I caught a shooting a star living photograph
A Buddhist hipster from the purple skies of LA
The ground would shake all understanding now
As I was so smitten with her suede
It went from screamin oh baby
To see you later maybe
I aint laughin now how the tables turn
Her fine print swiftly stole away
I’ll see you in the next life baby namaste
Thought I knew ya
Thought I could see right through ya
What a surprise to open your eyes
And find a hole in your soul
I thought I knew ya
Like I had a direct line
to some power greater than myself
So I walked down to the Someday Café
To get my cup o coffee for the day
But they tore it down and
Put up another bank of the USA
Where my paradise used to be
I thought I knew ya
Thought I knew myself too yeah
The chink in the wall
I scratched it only yesterday
I thought I knew ya
But my lines were rusted through yeah
But to think is wrong but to sing is right
So meet me at the bridge tonight
To see me reflection in the pond
To wonder what’s a goin on beyond
What I’m tryin to say just won’t come out
But I long to hear you
Even when the desert sands roll with thunder
Even when I know it’s all for gasoline
Even when the hole in my head lets me wonder it
I know I sing because I must
Even when the truth waters down way too quickly
Even when the storm blows down in New Orleans
I will still be dreamin when I know why this happens
But I know I love you and I trust
We are born with all this music in our heart
We tend forget a little each day right from the start
In a dream I rolled on back the clock and found another way
To remember the words
That we are wild angels
Believing in our childhood dreams
We’re just trying to find our way back to
The source of the stream
We are wild and free
Even like the hills these songs they last forever
Even though the singer will be forgotten in good time
Even that a song can unify or move mountains
This I cry we sing because we must
We all love the sound of music in our head
And feel the joy and pain cause we aint dead
We have the power and the duty and the means to change the world
And to remember the words
Cause we are wild angels
Sent down from our childhood dreams
And we’re just trying to get ourselves back to the source of the
stream
We are wild and we are free
It’s where we want to be
Come and join us on the journey down the winding road
Doesn’t matter what you fear cause we are bold
We got the light inside us of the universe
Gonna let it flow like a raging river
There’s a warm wind blowin over from the west again today
With it comes that message sent from so far away
Drags that longing feeling from my heart down to my sleeve
Tells me that it’s been too long and it’s been time to leave
So I bought a pickup truck with three shades of orange
And two shades of rusted blue
Went down to pick up my last paycheck from my boss
And I told him what he could do
I rode down to my mama said mama my time has come to ride
She said boy don’t let the screen door slam your ass on the way
outside
Now I’m goin to the country for while
Goin where they speak in terms of country miles
Goin to the country was there something I should know before I go
A sweet hitchhiker stopped me on this olden county road
She hopped into my pickup in her cutoff jeans and she so kindly said
hello
Her blue eyes smiled as she said my destination is unknown
She said she left her city standing only days ago
just to call the world her home
And then she turned up my radio
I said we’re goin to the county for while
We’re goin where the grass is green and the people always smile
Goin to the country was there something I should know before I go
Life was ordinary boring lame
All my dreams held captive on that ratrace of a cage
Sweet the sound surrender to my ears
The winds of change have blown them all away
just for today
I’m goin to the country for while
I’m goin where the speak in terms of corn and country miles
Me and my baby we’re goin to the country
We’re packin our bags
Never comin home
We aint stayin here
Me and my baby we’re goin to the country
Because the earth is getting deep fried country style
Me and my baby we’re goin to the country
Packin our bags aint comin home
Now we’re goin to the country was there something I should know
Somethin I should know
I’m the kind of back seat driver
Like to drive you crazy
All the way from Abelene to Nebraska baby
So all the corn in Kansas
Couldn’t ever curb my cravin
For something sweet and new
Is there someone following you
Step on the gas and
Mange another blast of candy
Twin Bing wrappers in the back seat
Come in handy
Dirty blond hitchhiking babe
By the name of Sandy
In my dreams she’s true
This dude’s definitely following you
Love was the thing that sucked the best
From the bottle to your breast
I’m healthy as far as I can see
Let me tell ya something baby
I’m here for ya
When your world is upside down
I’ll be your anchor I’ll be right by your side
I’m here for ya
Aint goin nowhere
Might be crazy sometimes
But I’ll be lovin you like I do forever
ADD wicka wanna play piano in my pj’s
Sound like a primadonna with a side of mayonaise
Timmy Horton snortin down
A sour cream donut with no glaze
Quit your violins
Get to smilin
So long was the shot I took on you
Not the money kind the true
Like takin a chance out on the wind
I’ll tip my hat now sugar
But I aint goin no where
I’m here for ya
No worries all around
I’ll be your bodyguard
I’ll be by your side
I’m here for ya
I aint goin nowhere
I know I’m crazy sometimes
But I’ll be lovin you like I do forever
Paked up the v-dub so long ago
With my old stratocaster and a microphone
With a bitch slap walk and well now I know
I believe I believe I believe I believe
There but for the grace of God go I
There but for the grace of God go I
No money in his pocket
And no hope in his eye
Oh but who am I
But for the grace of God
And there are those who when they pray they move their feet
There are those when they pray they face to the east
There are some who pray when trouble comes
And they’re left there to face the beast from within
Oh but who am I
If not for the grace of God
Who am I
Thankful for my eyes I see
Thankful for my eyes I’m not the man I used to be
Thank you for my voice I let it sing
Gonna raise it up let it ring
Who am I
Who am I
But for the grace of God
So who am I
But not for the grace of God
There go I
When you were preying upon the road at midnight
You hung your spurs but not for long
Then you hit California right round midnight
And drove your motorcycle on the lawn
But you know you’d bet your soul on the road
Never doing exactly what your told
I guess your right where you belong
Swinging from the trees
Playing oldie songs and
Singing life is a breeze
Got them if you’re wrong
Got them if you’re right
Living is on the bane
And so is life in us all
You were always on the lamb
And you were not happy
If your wheels weren’t spinning hard and fast
Wherever you were that’s where you wanted to be love
And that’s where your happiness would last
Plans were drawn in pencil then
When you had a roadie friend and a Hollywood applause
Something about cheese and macaroni
Made you think that you were gonna go fast
But the thing I like about you most is
You’re such a student of the holy ghost
I guess you’re right where you belong
Running from the cops
Sleeping with the bees
Stealing honey good to the last drop
I was always wrong
When I held you right
Where I thought that you belonged
And I cannot forget the night
Is there a rhyme or a reason
Is it that time of the year
There was a song for this season
But I’ve forgotten the words
But for heaven’s sake don’t forget about me
You’re the cream and sugar in my coffee
I like coffee you like tea
In the summertime with me
Picnic lunch and our troubles on the run
Oh these verses come and go
Like the wind they seem to blow
New ideas like the Saranac River running
Marry me in the moonlight
Neath the Tamarac tree
When the dawn’s light
Finds us we’ll be laying down
In the morning dew
Me and you
An Indian girl in a red canoe
In the days of deco made it to
This picture that hangs on our wall
These wet woods wait for centuries
To bait us with their scent of trees
Moist with drinking the spirit of the north
Oh honey marry me in the moonlight
Neath the Tamarac tree
When the dawn’s light
Finds us we’ll be holding hands
As woman and man
Marry me
Marry me
The howling of the loon let’s me know
You’ll be back soon I gotta go
As the fish are jumpin
High in the dark headwaters
High in the dark headwaters
Oh carry me o’er the path of peat
For the days when I cannot use my feet
Hold my hand
Well you married me baby please
Are you ready to rock n roll
Are you ready to fill my soul
All those years I try not to remember
Singin Stevie tunes in the schoolyard
The nuns would whip their sticks and
Try to make me remember
That a whie boy shouldn’t have to sing so hard
When I sang those songs the penguins said
Keep down the noise
And you’re never gonna make it as a choir boy
Thank god for failure
And the things I couldn’t do
So much of my life
It’s all I ever knew
Thank you for failure
And the mighty music
For making the dreams that chose me
Come true
Schoolin’s done now it’s time to play it serious
Forget about dreams forget about being a dude
Study business real-estate and warfare history
And just how to smile when you are being screwed
Then I bombed the test and I did the best that I can
So I finally cut my mullet and I joined a band
chorus
Are you ready to rock and roll
Are you ready to fill my soul
Thank you failure
For all those things I could not do
So much of my life
It’s all I ever knew
Thank you failure for the mighty music
Change is in my heart
You know the dreams that chose me
You made the dreams that chose me
Come true
All you did to mold this kid
You filled my heart you blew my lid
Oh you make me feel so good
Ya gimme good home cookin and gravy too
Ya gotta hop the doggie
Taught me to hop the doggie
Everything’s okay now
I fancy myself a ramblin man
Singin is my game
I wasn’t born to ramble
But I ramble just the same
I’m wonderin about you tonight
I sing neath this moon
By the campfire tonight
I still think about you
Do you still think about me
The years have given me so much good
And most people have been kind
Bet six says I’ll stay
Seven says I ride
Is it a future I’m waging
Or just charting a past
It’s a question posed
To the rearview glass
As I still think about you
Do you still think about
All the money madness microphones
All the nights I couldn’t make it home
And your voice on my answering machine
All these friends and strangers
On every side of me
The czar of cruise in which I drive
My dreams come true
Although I’m busy
I still think about you
Picture of you I see
I haven’t seen it in some time
I found it in the glovebox
Underneath the old letter I’ve been keeping all this time
A star fell on Blue Mountain Lake
And the universe collided
I woke from a bad dream
and sit down beside this picture I found
oh and I can’t help but wonder sometimes
mostly late at night
Do you still think about me
Cuz I still thinkn about you
Truly I would so remember
Set the stage to that September
Lovely was your dress and face
Reminds me of that special place
That I would go
To take my chances on you
Now I wanna know
Something that I oughta know
I wanna know
Just how far I’ve come
I wanna know
Just how far I’ve come
We’ve not gotten to where we’re goin
but what comfort we take in knowin
we’re not where we used to be dear
in the closet neath the moldy rain gear
if we give a little back
to the earth each day of the year
have a little hope
take it where we want to go
chorus
and now with my sideburns on
and I’m armed with my lovin heart
find work whenever I can
I aint no dang trustifarian
Not all this space is meant for me and my kind
Such a lovely day for the race
To where we want to go
