The return of the Lyric Association Thread
Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
Little village, baby
Ain't large enough to be a town
From a little village, baby
Ain't large enough to be a town
You gotta get away from the city
It's gonna bring you down

Breathin' all the clean air, sittin' in the sun
When I get my train fare, I'll get up and run
I'm ready for the city, air pollution here I come!

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
But I'll get back on my feet again someday
The good Lord willin'
If He says I may
I know that the life I'm livin's no good
I'll get a new start, live the life I should
I'll get up and fly away,
I’ll get up and fly away, fly away
The good Lord willin'

I know that the life I'm livin's no good
I'll get a new start, live the life I should
I'll get up and fly away,

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
Feed the babies
Who don't have enough to eat
Shoe the children
With no shoes on their feet
House the people
Livin' in the street
Oh, oh, there's a solution
I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
Seagull, you fly across the horizon
Into the misty morning sun.
Nobody asks you where you are going,
Nobody knows where you're from.

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
Folk down there really don't care, really don't care
Don't care, really don't
Which, which way the pressure lies
So I've decided what I'm gonna do now
So I'm packing my bags for the Misty Mountains
Where the spirits go now
Over the hills where the spirits fly, oh, I really don't know
Don't care, really don't

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
Over and under, in between the ups and downs
Mind on a carpet, magic ride goes round and round
Over the mountain, kissing silver inlaid clouds
Watching my body disappear into the crowd
Don't need no astrology, it's inside of you and me
You don't need a ticket to fly with me, I'm free, yeah

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
We used to play for silver
Now we play for life
One's for sport and one's for blood
At the point of a knife
Now the die is shaken
Now the die must fall
There ain't a winner in this game
Who don't go home with all
Not with all...

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
Now I must have played about every club in Texas
And half the ones from there to New Orleans
I love to see the people havin' a good time
Sometimes I wonder what it means
Now I keep trying to save up some money
But there's never enough to get me by
I'm not a kid anymore
Now that I know the score
I should have seen it before
I'm not a kid anymore

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
All over the country, I'm seeing it the same
Nobody's winning at this kind of game
We gotta do better, it's time to begin
You know all the answers must come from within, so
come on and sit here by my side
(Ooh, ooh) come on and take a free ride

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
I had a dream but it turned to dust
And what I thought was love
That must've been lust
I was living in style
When the walls fell in
When I played my hand
I looked like a joker
Turn around, fate must have woke her
'Cause lady luck she was waiting outside the door
I’m winning

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
Just a human desire to have you come near
Want to put my arms around you
Feel your breath in my ear
You can bend me, you can break me
But you better stand clear
When the walls come tumblin' down
When the walls come crumblin' crumblin
Want to put my arms around you
Feel your breath in my ear
You can bend me, you can break me

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
Just a song before I go
To whom it may concern
Traveling twice the speed of sound
It's easy to get burned
When the shows were over
We had to get back home
And when we opened up the door
I had to be alone

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
Now the promoter don't mind
And the roadies don't mind
If we take a little time
And we leave this all behind and sing
One more song

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
I love that album Rey
No one knows what it's like
To be the bad man
To be the sad man
Behind blue eyes
No one knows what it's like
To be hated
To be fated
To telling only lies

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
Now the day I was born
The nurses all gathered 'round
And they gazed in wide wonder
At the joy they had found
The head nurse spoke up
Said, "Leave this one (Boy) alone"
She could tell right away
That I was bad to the bone

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be traveling on now
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see

Re: The return of the Lyric Association Thread
Well I aint got a cent of the money I had
I spent it
Shirts tore, my shoes got a big hole in it,
Theres a king size knot on the side of my head
And I got one big black eye
But brother if you think I look bad,
You oughtta see that other guy
Cause in 30 more days
I'm goin back home,
To see that gal of mine,
But the Wichita Jail
Is a long long way
From the Tupelo County line,
I gotta do my time
