The return of the Lyric Association Thread

Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed
Whatever colors you have in your mind
I'll show them to you and you'll see them shine
Lay, lady, lay, lay across my big brass bed

Gotta do what you can just to keep your love alive
Trying not to confuse it with what you do to survive
'69, I was 21 and I called the road my own
I don't know when that road turned into the road I'm on
Running on, running on empty
Running on, running blind
Running on, running into the sun
But I'm running behind

[rdiberna]

The words you're about to hear,
Even to me they're not very clear
You see love has never come my way
But come and fly with me
Through life's many fantasies
And I'll show you a new dream every day
And I'll be running like the wind
Running like the wind
And you'll never hear us say
We might be back again some day
Well we won't - we'll be running like the wind
Running like the Wind

Time goes by at the speed of life
Slower than a slow dance on a hot summer night
Faster than the skin breaks on the edge of a knife
And we just go on at the speed of life
Like questions begging answers
The stars appear at night
What's it mean to love somebody
What's it mean to be alive

[rdiberna]

A hot summer night, fell like a net
I've gotta find my baby yet
I need you, to soothe my head
And turn my blue heart to red
Doctor Doctor, gimme the news
I got a bad case of lovin' you
No pill's gonna cure my ill
I got a bad case of lovin' you

[KEZHEAD]

It's all the same, only the names will change
Everyday, it seems we're wastin' away
Another place where the faces are so cold
I drive all night just to get back home
I'm a cowboy, on a steel horse I ride
I'm wanted dead or alive
Wanted dead or alive

[rdiberna]

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 comin' off this
Long and winding road
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home

[Brian129]

Well I tried everything you know to get along with you
Now let me tell you baby what I'm gonna do
I'm gonna quit my trying, gonna leave you alone
If you don't think I'm leavin' you can count the days I'm gone

[KEZHEAD]

Can't help about the shape I'm in
I can't sing, I aint pretty and my legs are thin
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to
Oh well
Now when I talk to God
I know he understands
He said "stick by me and I'll be your guiding hand"
But don't ask me what I think of you
I might not give the answer that you want me to
Oh well

[rdiberna]

Oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
My friends all drive Porsches, I must make amends
Worked hard all my lifetime, no help from my friends
So oh Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
That's it!

[KEZHEAD]

Help on the way
I know only this
I've got you today
Don't fly away
'Cause I love what I love
And I want it that way

[rdiberna]

When I was younger, so much younger than today
I never needed anybody's help in any way
But now these days are gone, I'm not so self assured (but now these days are gone)
(And now I find) now I find I've changed my mind and opened up the doors
Help me if you can, I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being 'round
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me, help me, help me, ooh

[Brian129]

Well I'm sittin' down in San Anton'
Waiting on an eight o'clock train
My woman left me here last night
Things ain't been quite the same

[richblueyes]

Well, I wait around the train station
Waiting for that train
Take me, take me, take me away
From this lonesome town
Too bad you don't love me any more, girl
Too bad your people put me down
Hey, hey, hey
Well I hear my train coming
Hear my train coming

[KEZHEAD]

Hard luck and trouble is my only friend
I been on my own ever since I was ten
Born under a bad sign
Been down since I began to crawl
If it wasn't for bad luck, I wouldn't have no luck at all

[richblueyes]

I've always been a gambler
Takin' chances all my life....
Always smashin' those love affairs
Just like shootin' dice
I staged the game girl
That's what keeps me satisfied
And I can leave it in the nick of time
Just before the bullets fly

[KEZHEAD]

Got a call from an old friend we'd used to be real close
Said he couldn't go on the American way
Closed the shop, sold the house, bought a ticket to the west coast
Now he gives them a stand-up routine in L.A.
I don't need you to worry for me 'cause I'm alright
I don't want you to tell me it's time to come home
I don't care what you say anymore this is my life
Go ahead with your own life leave me alone

[rdiberna]

There are places I'll remember
All my life, though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone, and some remain
All these places had their moments
With lovers and friends, I still can recall
Some are dead, and some are living
In my life, I've loved them all

[Brian129]

Well I heard mister Young sing about her
Well, I heard ole Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A Southern man don't need him around anyhow

[rdiberna]

May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
And may your song always be sung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.
