Lyrical Response

[PastaJoe]

Time goes slowly, but carries on
And now the best years have come and gone
You took me by surprise
I didn't realize that you were laughing

 

'cause you're doin' it to me
(Laughing) it ain't the way it should be
You took away everything I had, you put the hurt on me

[Gray Beard]

Then the busy years went rushing by us
We lost our starry notions on the way
If by chance I'd see you in the tavern
We'd smile at one another and we'd say

 

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
Those were the days, oh yes those were the days

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Boy the way Glenn Miller played
Songs that made the Hit Parade.
Guys like us we had it made,
Those were the days.

 

And you knew who you were then,
Girls were girls and men were men,
Mister we could use a man
Like Herbert Hoover again.

 

Didn't need no welfare state,
Everybody pulled his weight.
Gee our old LaSalle ran great.
Those were the days.

[SinceThe70s]

Ten kids in a Cadillac
Stand in line for welfare checks
Let's all leech off the state
Gee! The money is really great!

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

As I was motivatin' over the hill
I saw Maybellene in a coup de ville.
A Cadillac a-rollin' on the open road,
Nothin' will outrun my V8 Ford.
The Cadillac doin' 'bout ninety-five,
She's bumper to bumper rollin' side by side.

 

Maybellene, why can't you be true?
Oh Maybellene, why can't you be true?
You've started back doing the things you used to do.

[SinceThe70s]

You picked a fine time to leave me Lucille

[The Real Buffalo Joe]

Lucille, you won't do your sister's will?
Oh, Lucille, you won't do your sister's will?
You ran off and married, but I love you still.

Lucille, please, come back where you belong.
Lucille, please, come back where you belong.
I been good to you, baby, please, don't leave me alone.

 

I woke up this morning, Lucille was not in sight.
I asked my friends about her but all their lips were tight.
Lucille, please, come back where you belong.
I been good to you, baby, please, don't leave me alone, whoa

 

I woke up this morning, Lucille was not in sight.
I asked my friends about her but all their lips were tight.
Lucille, please, come back where you belong.

I been good to you, baby, please, don't leave me alone.

 

Lucille, baby, satisfy my heart.
Lucille, baby, satisfy my heart.
I played for it, baby, and gave you such a wonderful start.

[SinceThe70s]

Lucille
Has messed my mind up
But I still love her
Oh I still love her

[WhoTom]

Picture yourself on a train in a station
With Plasticine porters with looking glass ties
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile
The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

[Gray Beard]

Take the last train to Clarksville
And I'll meet you at the station
You can be there by four-thirty
'Cause I've made your reservation, don't be slow

[WhoTom]

See my face in the town that's flashing by
See me standing at the station in the rain
See me running there beside the car
I left it all behind me and I traveled far
It took me a long time to get back on the train

 

[PastaJoe]

Nighttime on the city of New Orleans
Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee
Half way home, we'll be there by morning
Through the Mississippi darkness
Rolling down to the sea

 

But all the towns and people seem
To fade into a bad dream
And the steel rails still ain't heard the news
The conductor sings his songs again
The passengers will please refrain
This train has got the disappearing railroad blues

 

Good morning, America
How are you?
Say don't you know me? I'm your native son
I'm the train they call the city of New Orleans
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done

[Gray Beard]

When I'm lonely, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who's lonely without you
And when I'm dreaming, well I know I'm gonna dream
I'm gonna dream about the time when I'm with you
When I go out, well I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who goes along with you
And when I come home, yes I know I'm gonna be
I'm gonna be the man who comes back home with you
I'm gonna be the man who's coming home with you

 

But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
To fall down at your door

[SinceThe70s]

5,500 miles
Across the Texas plain
Just to look at the ocean
Just to not go insane

[/dev/null]

You see us coming

And you all together run for cover

[SinceThe70s]

Through abused intentions
You misused my trust
Now's the time for redemption
You'd better
Run for your life

[WhoTom]

You better run all day and run all night
And keep your dirty feelings deep inside
And if you're taking your girlfriend out tonight
You better park the car well out of sight
'Cause if they catch you in the back seat trying to pick her locks
They're gonna send you back to Mother in a cardboard box
You better run!

 

[Gray Beard]

I'm not content to be with you in the daytime
Girl, I want to be with you all of the time
The only time I feel alright is by your side
Girl, I want to be with you all of the time
All day and all of the night

[PastaJoe]

Love you every day, girl
Always on my mind
One thing I can say, girl
Love you all the time

 

Hold me, love me, hold me, love me
I ain't got nothing but love, girl
Eight days a week

[SinceThe70s]

I want you to be mine
I need you more everyday
I want your lovin' right now baby
What more can I say
I wish I had you all the time
Twenty-five hours a day
