One too many times
I fell over you
Once in a shadow
I finally grew
And once in a night
I dreamed you were there
I canceled my flight
From going nowhere
It's all I can do
To keep waiting for you
It's all I can do
It's all I can do
Well, I'm a-standing on a corner
In Winslow, Arizona
Such a fine sight to see
It's a girl, my Lord
In a flat-bed Ford
Slowin' down to take a look at me
Don't come hangin' 'round my door
Don't want to see your face no more
I don't need your war machines
I don't need your ghetto scenes
Colored lights can hypnotize
Sparkle someone else's eyes
Now woman, get away
American woman, listen what I say
Why do you build me up (build me up) Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down (let me down) and mess me around
And then worst of all (worst of all) you never call, baby
When you say you will (say you will) but I love you still
I need you (I need you) more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up (build me up) Buttercup, don't break my heart
Speeding down the motorway
Let slow life pass us by
Another mile, another day
Get some action in our lives
We're on our way
Living for today
C'mon, let's go (let go)
C'mon, let's go (let go)
Let's go
I feel fine, I'm talkin' 'bout peace of mind
I'm gonna take my time
I'm gettin' the good sign
Draggin' the line (Draggin' the line)
Draggin' the line (Draggin' the line)
Turn out the lights, the party's over
They say that, 'All good things must end'
Let's call it a night, the party's over
And tomorrow starts the same old thing again
I ain't got no time for lovin'
'Cause my time is all used up
Just to sit around creatin'
All that groovy kind of stuff
But I'm a man, yes I am
And I can't help
But love you so
'Cause Jah shall wash away
All the tears from my eyes
In times when the storms
And the tides are raging high
We know we shall win, yeah
We know we'll survive, yeah
Jah shall wash away all the tears
Time has come today
Young hearts can go their way
Can't put it off another day
I don't care what others say
They say we don't listen anyway
Time has come today, hey
The moment I wake up
Before I put on my makeup (makeup)
I say a little prayer for you
And while combing my hair now
And wondering what dress to wear now (wear now)
I say a little prayer for you
The little old lady from Pasadena
(Go granny, go granny, go granny, go)
Has a pretty little flowerbed of white gardenias
(Go granny, go granny, go granny, go)
But parked in a rickety old garage
There's a brand new shiny red super stock Dodge
They’re playing it like flag football. They’re not tackling, as soon the defense gets their hands on the ball carrier the refs are blowing the whistle. It’s embarrassing.
SOLID GOLD!! Filling up my life with music.
SOLID GOLD!! Putting rhythm in my soul.
There's a song that's unreeling,
To fit the way that I'm feeling;
My head keeps spinning to music,
Spinning to gold
