Lyrical Response

[SinceThe70s]

And they're marching to Bastille Day
La guillotine will claim her bloody prize
Sing, o choirs of cacophony
Well, the king must kneel to let his kingdom rise

[PastaJoe]

The king is gone but he's not forgotten
Is this the tale of Johnny Rotten?
It's better to burn out than fade away
The king is gone but he's not forgotten

[Bill from NYC]

Sitting in a transit all night long
Playing clubs and rocking right on
The road's much too long since I've been wasting my time
Wish I was home again sipping my wine

And I'm gone, gone, gone, I don't care
'Cause I'm gone, gone, gone
I don't care, it's where I'm from
I'm on the road again

[without a drought]

I was born in a trunk
Mama died and my daddy got drunk
Let me hear two dying crows
In the middle of tobacco road

 

Grew up in a rusty shack
All I owned was hanging on my back
Only lord knows how I loved tobacco road

 

But it's hard, hard the only life I've ever known
But the lord knows how I loved
Tobacco road

 

Gonna leave, get a job
With the help of the treesome god
Save my money, get rich enough
Bring it back to tobacco road

 

Bring dynamite and a crane
Blow it up and start all over again
Build a town be proud to show
Give the name tobacco road

 

'Cause it's hard, hard the only life I've ever known
I despise you cause you're filthy
But I love you cause you're home

 

Bring dynamite and a crane
Blow it up start all over again
Build a town be proud to know
This place called tobacco road

 

'Cause it's hard, hard the only life I've ever known
But the lord knows how I love
Tobacco road

[PastaJoe]

Well, my father was a gambler down in Georgia
And he wound up on the wrong end of a gun
And I was born in the back seat of a Greyhound bus
Rollin' down highway 41

[muppy]

Take the highway
Lord knows I've been gone too long
Lot of sad days, yeah
One day you'll turn around
And I'll be gone

[Bill from NYC]

Turning back the pages to the times I love best
I wonder if she'll ever do the same?
Now the thing that I call living
Is just being satisfied
With knowing I got no one left to blame

 

Carefree highway
I've got to see you my old flame
Carefree highway
You've seen better days
The morning after blues
From my head down to my shoes
Carefree highway
Let me slip away, slip away on you

[PastaJoe]

God said to Abraham, "kill me a son"
Abe say, "man, you must be putting me on"
God say, "no", and Abe say, "what?"
God say, "you can do what you want Abe, but"
"Next time you see me comin', man, you better run"

Abe said, "where do you want this killing done?"
God said, "out on Highway 61"

[muppy]

Soon it will be time to go
I don't want to leave, I guess you know
Maybe something new will come up
And I can come home for just a few more days

Get off this two lane highway
Is going my way, moving fast
Two lane highway
Is taking me home, home at last

[WhoTom]

And it's the ocean flowing in our veins
Oh, 'cause it's the salt that's in our tears
Oh, 'cause we could have come so very far
Oh, in at least as many years
Take the highway through the Great Divide

[DD4Bills]

I am made from the dust of the stars
and the oceans flow in my veins
Here I hide in the heart of the city
like a stranger coming out of the rain

 

the evening plane rises up from the runway
over constellations of light
I look down into a million houses
and wonder what you’re doing tonight

[PastaJoe]

All of the lonely nights 
Waiting for you to come, longing to hold you tight 
I need you so desperately 
Waiting for you to come bring all your love to me

 

But I'd wait a million years 
Walk a million miles, cry a million tears 
I'd swim the deepest sea 
Climb the highest hill, just to have you near me

[Joe Ferguson forever]

I been up, I been down
Take my word, my way around

I ain't askin' for much
I said, Lord, take me downtown
I'm just lookin' for some tush

I been bad, I been good
Dallas, Texas, Hollywood

I ain't askin' for much
I said, Lord, take me downtown
I'm just lookin' for some tush

[Tuco]

She said we couldn't do no wrong
No other love could be so strong
She locked up my heart in her bottom drawer
Now she took my heart, she took my keys
From in my old blue dungarees
And I'll never go to Texas anymore

[PastaJoe]

Bell bottom blues, you made me cry
I don't want to lose this feeling
And if I could choose a place to die
It would be in your arms

[WhoTom]

Well, there ain't nothing wrong with the way she moves
Or scarlet begonias or a touch of the blues

[muppy]

I want some red roses for a blue lady
Mister florist take my order please
We had a silly quarrel the other day
I hope these pretty flowers chase her blues away

 

I want some red roses for a blue lady
Send them to the sweetest gal in town
And if they do the trick, I'll hurry back to pick
Your best white orchid for her wedding gown

[WhoTom]

But don't forget to understand exactly what you put on the tree
Don't believe the florist when he tells you that the roses are free

[Joe Ferguson forever]

A white sport coat and a pink carnation (doo-wa)
I'm all dressed up for the dance (bum-bum, bum-bum, bum, bum)
A white sport coat and a pink carnation (doo-wa)
I'm all alone in romance (bum-bum, bum-bum, bum, bum)

Once you told me long ago (doo-doo)
To the prom with me you'd go (doo-doo)
Now you've changed your mind it seems (doo-wa)
Someone else will hold my dreams

A white (a white) sport coat (sport coat) and a pink carnation (doo-wa)
And in a blue, blue mood (bum-bum, bum-bum, bum, bum)
(A white sport coat and a pink carnation) (doo-wa)
I'm all dressed up for the dance (bum-bum, bum-bum, bum, bum)
(A white sport coat and a pink carnation) (doo-wa)
I'm all alone in romance (bum-bum, bum-bum, bum, bum)

Headlights glowing like the sun
All revved up with nowhere to run
Uh-oh, silver, cream, and gold
All dressed up with nowhere to go
'Cause I'm Dressed up with nowhere to go, whoo
