I took a plane to Minnesota to see my lady love
The ground was far below me and the clouds were high above
And when the captain called the flight time
Well my heart cried out this song
It's still an hour till arrival
And that's an hour much too long
Fly fly fly
You know my baby gets me high
I spend too much time in taxi cabs
Please don't ask me why
Fly fly fly
Like an eagle in the sky
Take me to my baby
I wanna be there by her side
I met her in the summer, I was walking on the beach
My life was pretty empty but love was just in reach
I want to spend my whole life with her
And not see her just now and then
But the tours are booked, the schedule's planned
And I'm on the road again
Fly fly fly
You know my baby gets me high
I spend too much time just hangin' 'round the airports
Please don't ask me why, I can't tell you
Fly fly fly
Like an eagle in the sky
I got to see my baby
I wanna be there by her side
Brrrr hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Fly fly fly
My baby gets me high
Fly fly fly
Like an eagle in the sky [x2]
We'll get married and honeymoon in Haifa
And go down to Galilee
We'll hitchhike up through Switzerland
And I'd drop in at L'Abri
We'll spend our winters in Laguna
And our summers on the farm
We'll spend the rest of life in love's heaven
Locked in each other's arms
Fly fly fly
You know my baby gets me high
I spend too much time just hangin' 'round the airports
Please don't ask me why, ask my agent
Fly fly fly
Like an eagle in the sky
And with a lot of love, a little help from above
We'll be together till we die
Ah yeah, I can't wait to see her
It's been a long time
Don't you know I really love her so
I love her so much I, I'm out of my mind
She drives me crazy
Zas zan za za za
I can't wait to see her, can't wait
When I see her you know what I'm gonna say
Ri bip bip bip bip a da da
Ri bi bip bip bip bip a da da
Ri bip bip bip bip a da da
Yeah yeah yeah
Ri bip bip bip bip a ra da
Ri bi bip bip bip bip a ra da
Ri bip bip bip bip a da da
Yeah yeah yeah
Yay
Yeah I'm gonna say
I just can't wait to see you baby
You know what I'm talking about
You know what I'm talking about

You came into my life
You took me off the shelf
You told my name to me
And taught me what to do
But then you went away
You left me by myself
I feel completely lost
And lonely without you
Why'd you go, baby
I guess you know
I've got to learn to live without you
I've got to learn to live without you
I've got to learn to live without you
Without you
Today I thought I saw you
Walking down the street
With someone else
I turned my head and faced the wall
I started crying
And my heart fell to my feet
But when I looked again
It wasn't you at all
Why'd you go, baby
I guess you know
I've got to learn to live without you
I've got to learn to live without you
I've got to learn to live without you
Without you
It's just no good without you [x3]
I've got to learn to live without you [x7]

The Same Old Story
04:12
|
|||
|
Well it's the same old story and the same old stage
And though the cast is different
It's like you're looking at the same old page
All the lines seem familiar
While you try to find a place to start
You're in love with the lady
And you just hope she doesn't break your heart
Now it's the same old story
Though you approach it from a different place
And the lady is lovely
She wears such a beautiful face
And though you try hard to stop it
You feel the rushes of emotion start
You're in love and you can't help it
You just hope she doesn't break your heart
You hope she doesn't break your heart
It's the same old story
Just read between the lines
Your heart will end up broken
And you'll tell yourself that love is just a state of mind (Aah aah aah)
Well it's the same old story
And you wonder how it's gonna end
Are you gonna wind up losing
Then there's no reason to pretend
You feel the rush of emotions
As she tells you that you'll never part
She says her love will last forever
You just hope she doesn't break your heart
You hope she doesn't break your heart
And though you try hard to stop it
You feel the rushes of emotion start
She says her love will last forever
You hope she doesn't break your heart
You hope she doesn't break your heart [x3]
She tells you that you're never gonna part
You'll end up with a broken heart
It's just the same old story
It's just the same old story
It's just the same old story
I do, I do, I do remember all those lonely nights
Sittin' and thinkin' on a cold and empty stage
[Whistling]

The Great American Novel
04:30
|
|||
|
I was born and raised an orphan
In a land that once was free
In a land that poured its love out on the moon
And I grew up in the shadows
Of your silos filled with grain
But you never helped to fill my empty spoon
And when I was ten you murdered law
With courtroom politics
And you learned to make a lie sound just like truth
But I know you better now
And I don't fall for all your tricks
And you've lost the one advantage of my youth
You kill a black man at midnight
Just for talking to your daughter
Then you make his wife your mistress
And you leave her without water
And the sheet you wear upon your face
Is the sheet your children sleep on
And at every meal you say a prayer
You don't believe but still you keep on
And your money says in God we trust
But it's against the law to pray in school
You say we beat the Russians to the moon
And I say you starved your children to do it
You are far across the ocean
In a war that's not your own
And while you're winning theirs
You're gonna lose the one at home
Do you really think the only way
To bring about the peace
Is to sacrifice your children
And kill all your enemies
The politicians all make speeches
While the news men all take notes
And they exaggerate the issues
As they shove it down our throats
Is it really up to them
Whether this country sinks or floats
Well I wonder who would lead us
If none of us would vote
Hmm
Well my phone is tapped and my lips are chapped
From whispering through the fence
You know every move I make
Or is that just coincidence
Will you try to make my way of life
A little less like jail
If I promise to make tapes and slides
And send them through the mail
And your money says in God we trust
But it's against the law to pray in school
You say we beat the Russians to the moon
And I say you starved your children to do it
You say all men are equal, all men are brothers
Then why are the rich more equal than others
Don't ask me for the answers, I've only got one
That a man leaves his darkness when he follows the son

Pardon Me
03:38
|

|
Pardon me
Kissing you like I'm afraid
But I know I'm being played with
And you'll leave me when you get the chance
Off you'll go
In the darkness of the night
Like a bird in freedom's flight
You're thinking only of deliverance
Close your eyes
And pretend that you are me
See how empty it can be
Making love if love's not really there
Watch me go
Watch me walk away alone
As your clothing comes undone
And you pull the ribbons from your hair
Pardon me

One two three [Spoken]
You could be a righteous rocker or a holy roller
You could be 'most anything
You could be a child of the slum or a skid row bum
Or you could be a foreign king
You could be a wealthy man from Texas
Or a witch with heavy hexes
But without love you ain't nothing without love
Without love you ain't nothing without love
You could be a brilliant surgeon or a sweet young virgin
Or a harlot out to sell
You could learn to play the blues or be Howard Hughes
Or the Scarlet Pimpernel
You could be a French provincial midwife
Or go from door to door with a death knife
But without love you ain't nothing without love
Without love you ain't nothing without love
Without love you ain't nothing
(You ain't nothing without love) You ain't nothing
Without love you ain't nothing without love
Break
Woo-ooh-ooh-oo-oh
Wo oh oh
You could be a woman feeler or a baby stealer
You could drink your life away
You could be a holy prophet get a blessing off it
You could fast for fifty days
Oh you could shake hands with the devil
Or give your life to God on the level
But without love you ain't nothing
You ain't nothing without love
Without love you ain't nothing without love
Without love you ain't nothing
(You ain't nothing without love)
Without love you ain't nothing without love
You could be a righteous rocker (Without love you ain't nothing without love)
Alright
You could be a holy roller (Without love you ain't nothing without love)
Ra-ah ra-ah rah
You ain't nothing without love
(Without love you ain't nothing without love)
You ain't nothing, you ain't nothing
(Without love you ain't nothing without love)
Without love
Oh you ain't nothing, you ain't nothing (Without love you ain't nothing without love)
You ain't nothing
Without love you ain't nothing without love (Without love you ain't nothing without love)
(Without love) [x2]
I do believe that without love (Without love you ain't nothing, you ain't nothing without love)
Nothing really matters
Without love (Without love, you ain't nothing without love)
It don't matter who you are, who you know, where you go
Without love you're nothing (Without love you ain't nothing, you ain't nothing without love)
You are nothing, you are nothing
You are nothing without love (Without love, you ain't nothing without love)
(Without love you ain't nothing, you ain't nothing without love)
(Without love, you ain't nothing without love) Love
(Without love, you ain't nothing without love)

Be Careful What You Sign

I was walking down the road when I bumped into you
I was walking down the road when I bumped into you
Mmm you stopped me, you touched me, you looked me in the eye
I had a feeling that you knew me, I decided you must die
I pulled out my Thornton special, I shot you in the head
I threw you in the alley way and I left you for dead
Uh
Then a man with a hat came up from behind
The sky went black and I thought I was blind
He put his hand inside my jacket and left a million dollar bills
He slipped his hand into my pocket and gave me women and thrills
And when I turned around to thank him, there was no one there but me
And both my hands were filled with sand, I was standing by the sea
We had dinner at eight and women at nine
The party was great till we ran out of wine
There was a knock upon the bedroom door, my knees began to shake
And this man came in and melted all the candles on my cake
He said I, I've come here to escort you, it's time for you to go
He opened up my body and he took away my soul
I was running down the road
I was running down the road, I was trying to leave
An' I saw you all alone in between the thieves
And when the lightning flashed I saw somebody hanging from a tree
As I turned to walk away I realized it was me
I pulled out my Thornton special, I shot me in the head
I threw me in the alleyway and I left me for dead
Ah down the road
Down the road [x3]

If God Is My Father
06:23

If God is my father
And you are my brother
Then why can't we bother
To really reach out and love one another
Why do we keep on acting the way we do
The way we treat each other
It must break his heart in two
Once we were happy
Oh yes, once in the garden
But then a lie broke the stillness
And our hearts began to harden
And hoping to be wiser man has reached too far
Sometimes I think that we've advanced
But then I look at where we are
And oh I cry
I feel like crying
Oh I cry
I feel like crying
Why do we argue
Why are there so many churches
With half of them empty
And some represent a million dollar purchase
What's happened to the message given by our lord
To take his gospel to the streets
And share our money with the poor
And learn to love
He said love is the greatest thing
We've got to learn to love
Love is the greatest thing
If God is my father
Then you are my brother
And why can't we bother
To really reach out and love one another
Why do we keep on acting the way we do
The way we treat each other
It just breaks my heart in two
We've got to learn to love
Love is the greatest thing [x2]
Oh ooh ooh ooh wooh
You've got to learn to love (Learn to love) [x4]
Yes you've got to learn to love
You've got to learn to love [x8]
(Learn to love is the greatest thing)
Learn to love, you've got to learn to love [x2]
You've got to learn to love (Learn to love, you've got to learn to love)
(Oh)
You've got to learn to love (Learn to love, you've got to learn to love) [x7]
Love is the greatest thing
(Oh)
Learn to love is the greatest thing
You've got to learn to love (oh)
