Lyrical Response

[WhoTom]

Movin' me down the highway

Rollin' me down the highway
Movin' ahead so life won't pass me by

Mister jailer go away now, don't tell me no lies

Mister jailer away, don't tell me no lies

When my train goes down she's rollin,'

Down the line

Well, on a train, I met a dame
She rather handsome, we kind looked the same
She was pretty, from New York City
I'm walking down that old fair lane
I'm in heat, I'm in love
But I just couldn't tell her so

 

I said, train kept a-rolling all night long
Train kept a-rolling all night long
Train kept a-rolling all night long
Train kept a-rolling all night long
With a heave, and a ho

[WhoTom]

But let me get to the point,

Let's roll another joint.
And turn the radio loud,

I'm too alone to be proud.

 

[Bill from NYC]

Everybody's trembling and running around
Picking up their money, tearing the tepee down
Foreman wants a penny about to go insane
Trying to get the workers out the way of the train
Engineer blowing the whistle loud and long
Can't stop the train, gotta let it roll on

[PastaJoe]

Well, train, train, take me on out of this town
Train, train, Lord, take me on out of this town
Well, that woman I'm in love with, Lord, she's Memphis bound

[WhoTom]

Me and my uncle went ridin' down,
South Colorado, West Texas bound.
We stopped over in Santa Fe,
That bein' the point just about half way,
And you know it was the hottest part of the day.

[SinceThe70s]

West bound ride through Texas
The sun here really burns
Open up and try and beat the heat
It still don't do much good
Kick back and endure it, a 100 miles ta go
Take a break, get some shade
Before we start up again

117 degrees, 117
117, so I'm told
I don't know

[PastaJoe]

Galveston, oh Galveston
I still hear your sea waves crashing
While I watch the cannons flashing
I clean my gun
And dream of Galveston

[WhoTom]

Here by the sea and sand
Nothing ever goes as planned
I just couldn't face going home
It was just a drag on my own
They finally threw me out
My mom got drunk on stout
My dad couldn't stand on two feet
As he lectured about morality

 

[Bill from NYC]

Dressed myself in green
I went down to the sea
Try to see what's going down
Maybe read between the lines

Had a feeling I was falling, falling, falling

Turned around to see
Heard a voice calling, calling, calling
You was comin after me
Back to me

[ExiledInIllinois]

"...Holidays must end as you know.
All is memory taken home with me:
The opera, the stolen tea, the sand drawing, the verging sea, all years ago."

[SinceThe70s]

I don't remember, I don't recall
I got no memory of anything at all

[KD in CA]

Hold on to the nights
Hold on to the memories
I wish that I could give you something more
That I could be yours

[SinceThe70s]

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you

 

P.S. - above is the worst post in 260 pages.  I feel shame.

[Bill from NYC]

Laaaa-ah-ah, la-la, laaaa-ah-ah
Laaaa-ah-ah, la-la, laaaa-ah-ah

 

Never, I never meet a girl like you in my life
I never, no, no, yeah
I never meet a girl like you in my life

 

The way that you hold me in the night
The way that you make things go right
Whenever you're in my arms
Girl, you're filling me with all your charms

[ExWNYer]

Girl, you really got me goin'
You got me so I don't know what I'm doin'
Yeah, you really got me now
You got me so I can't sleep at night

[WhoTom]

You got me runnin' and hidin' all over town
You got me sneakin' and peepin' and runnin' you down
This can't go on, Lord knows you got to change, baby

 

[SinceThe70s]

You can't change it
Can't rearrange it
If time is all that we got
Then baby let's take it

[PastaJoe]

I can't wait forever
Even though you want me to
I can't wait forever
To know if you'll be true
Time won't let me
Time won't let me
Time won't let me wait too long
