Lyrical Response

[Joe Ferguson forever]

People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing
Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin
When I say that I'm okay, well, they look at me kind of strange
"Surely you're not happy now? You no longer play the game"

[Verse 2]
People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away
Well, they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me
When I tell 'em that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
"Don't you miss the big time boy? You're no longer on the ball"

[muppy]

The purpose of a man is to love a woman
And the purpose of a woman is to love a man
So come on, baby
Let's start today
Come on, baby
Let's play

The game of love, love
La, la, la, la, la love

[cwater10]

Woman, I know you understand
The little child inside the man
Please remember my life is in your hands
And woman, hold me close to your heart
However distant, don't keep us apart
After all it is written in the stars

[WhoTom]

Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today

[OGTEleven]

Lady luck's still a mystery with her head on my shoulder
And I don't know why I still want her to dance
I guess that's all history what it is is I'm older
And I'm still a fool for your one-way romance

Her dice were red rubies, they rolled and they tumbled
And I never saw time running out with my roll
And in the wasteland of cut glass my dreams were all crumbled
And I've paid with whatever I had left for a soul

[muppy]

They call you Lady Luck
But there is room for doubt
At times, you've had a very unlady-like way of running out
You're on this date with me
The Pickens have been lush
And yet before this evening is over
You might give me the brush

You might forget your manners
You might refuse to stay
And so the best that I can do is pray

Luck be a lady tonight
Luck be a lady tonight
Luck if you've ever been a lady to begin with, luck be a lady tonight

[OGTEleven]

I had a brush with luck
It wasn't close enough
To burn this table down
But it's learning to stay
When love comes your way
That's laying your best hand down

[WhoTom]

Love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town

[PastaJoe]

Wherever you go, I'll be with you
Whatever you want, I'll give it to you
Whenever you need someone
To lay your heart and head upon
Remember, after the fire, after all the rain
I will be the flame
I will be the flame

[cwater10]

I've seen fire and I've seen rain
I've seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I'd see you again

[muppy]

I'm never gonna let you go
I'm gonna hold you in my arms forever
Gonna try and make up for all the times
I hurt you so
Gonna hold your body close to mine
From this day on we're gonna be together
Oh I swear this time
I'm never gonna let you go

[PastaJoe]

These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Someday you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn to be
Brothers in arms

[cwater10]

When he first came to the mountains his life was far away
On the road and hanging by a song
But the string's already broken and he doesn't really care
It keeps changing fast and it don't last for long

[muppy]

He was a hard-headed man, he was brutally handsome
And she was terminally pretty
She held him up and he held her for ransom
In the heart of the cold, cold city

He had a nasty reputation as a cruel dude
They said he was ruthless, they said he was crude
They had one thing in common, they were good in bed
She'd say, "Faster, faster, the lights are turnin' red"

Life in the fast lane
Surely make you lose your mind
Life in the fast lane, yeah

[WhoTom]

I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind

[muppy]

Winter is here again, oh Lord
Haven't been home in a year or more
I hope she holds on a little longer
Sent a letter on a long summer day
Made of silver, not of clay
Ooh, I've been runnin' down this dusty road

Ooh, the wheel in the sky keeps on turnin'
I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
 

[cwater10]

Like leaves we touch, we learn.
We once knew the story.
As winter calls he will starve,
All but to see the stone be life.

[PastaJoe]

Come and listen to my story about a man named Jed 
A poor mountaineer, barely kept his family fed, 
And then one day he was shootin at some food, 
And up through the ground come a bubblin crude. 
Oil that is, black gold, Texas tea.

[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

 

[muppy]

The beat goes on, the beat goes on
Drums keep pounding a rhythm to the brain
La de da de de, la de da de da
