Im tore down, Im almost level with the ground. Im tore down, Im almost level with the ground. Well, I feel like this when my baby cant be found.
I went to the river to jump in. My baby showed up and said, I will tell you when.
Well, Im tore down, Im almost level with the ground. Well, I feel like this when my baby cant be found.
I love you babe with all my heart and soul; Love like mine will never grow old. Love you in the morning and in the evening too. Every time you leave me I get mad with you.
Chorus
I love you baby with all my might; Love like mine is out of sight. Ill lie for you if you want me to. I really dont believe that your love is true.
Chorus
Im tore down, Im almost level with the ground. Well, Im tore down, Im almost level with the ground. Well, I feel like this when my baby cant be found.
The tax mans taken all my dough, And left me in my stately home, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. And I cant sail my yacht, Hes taken everything Ive got, All Ive gots this sunny afternoon.
Save me, save me, save me from this squeeze. I got a big fat mama trying to break me. And I love to live so pleasantly, Live this life of luxury, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. In the summertime In the summertime In the summertime
My girlfriends run off with my car, And gone back to her ma and pa, Telling tales of drunkenness and cruelty. Now Im sitting here, Sipping at my ice cold beer, Lazing on a sunny afternoon.
Help me, help me, help me sail away, Well give me two good reasons why I oughta stay. cause I love to live so pleasantly, Live this life of luxury, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. In the summertime In the summertime In the summertime
Ah, save me, save me, save me from this squeeze. I got a big fat mama trying to break me. And I love to live so pleasantly, Live this life of luxury, Lazing on a sunny afternoon. In the summertime In the summertime In the summertime
From the album The Best Years of Our Lives in 1975
You've done it all, you've broken every code And pulled the rebel to the floor You spoilt the game, no matter what you say For only metal - what a bore! Blue eyes, blue eyes, how come you tell so many lies?
Come up and see me, make me smile Or do what you want, run on wild
There's nothing left, all gone and run away Maybe you'll tarry for a while It's just a test, a game for us to play Win or lose, it's hard to smile Resist, resist, it's from yourself you have to hide
Come up and see me, make me smile Or do what you want, run on wild
There ain't no more, you've taken everything From my believe in Mother Earth How can you ignore my faith in everything When I know what Faith is and what it's worth Away, away, and don't say maybe you'll try
Come up and see me, make me smile Or do what you want, run on wild
Something told me it was over When I saw you and her talkin' Something deep down in my soul said, 'Cry, girl' When I saw you and that girl walkin' around
Whoo, I would rather, I would rather go blind, boy Then to see you walk away from me, child, no
Whoo, so you see, I love you so much That I don't wanna watch you leave me, baby Most of all, I just don't, I just don't wanna be free, no
Whoo, whoo, I was just, I was just, I was just Sittin here thinkin', of your kiss and your warm embrace, yeah When the reflection in the glass that I held to my lips now, baby Revealed the tears that was on my face, yeah
Whoo and baby, baby, I'd rather, I'd rather be blind, boy Then to see you walk away, see you walk away from me, yeah Whoo, baby, baby, baby, I'd rather be blind...

My car goes Chicago Every weekend to pick up some cargo I think I know the bloody way by now, Frankie And turn the god damn radio down, thank you Pull over Count the money But don't count the thirty in the glove box buddy That's for to buy Lucille some clothes
Bang bang bang went Frankie's gun He shot me down Lucille (x2) He shot me down (x3)
Work zones double fines Don't pass the double lines Trailer McDonald's rest stop trailer double wide I saw a man hit my mom one time, really I hurt him so damn bad I had to hide in Jersey Called my mama told her In the dresser There's ten or twenty dollars but there ain't no lesser That's for to take my sister to the picture show
Bang bang bang went Frankie's gun He shot me down Lucille (x2) He shot me down (x3)
Sha nay na sha nay na na na ...
(Mumbling)
Slip make a fender shine Frankie you're a friend of mine Got me off a bender after long legged Brenda died I thought we might be on a roll this time Frankie I could have swore the box said Hollywood blanks but You see my mama Please tell her I left a little rock in a box in the cellar That's for to wear till kingdom come
Bang bang bang went Frankie's gun He shot me down Lucille (x2) He shot me down (x3)
I had 22 dreams last night I dreamed we’re entering a war The last one I saved for myself Just to save my soul I got this scene by a fireplace I lost control of the human race I had 22 dreams last night
I had 45 films to watch But only one I could take The mysteries of a secret smile It must be dull in that place Pull me on with a loving kiss I remember all the things I missed You mean so much when the dawn is gone I feel alone in the morning sun I had 22 dreams last night
You pick me up with a loving kiss I remembered all the things I missed You mean so much when the dawn is gone I feel alone in the morning sun I had 22 dreams last night I dreamed we’re entering a war That’s enough for a lifetime of dreams That’s enough for anyone
When your baby leaves you all alone And nobody calls you on the phone Ah, don't you feel like crying? Don't you feel like crying? Well here I am my honey Oh, come on you cry to me.
When you're all alone in your lonely room And there's nothing but the smell of her perfume Ah don't you feel like crying Don't you feel like crying? Ah don't you feel like crying? Come on, come on cry to me.
Well nothing could be sadder Than a glass of wine, all alone Loneliness, loneliness, it's such a waste of time Oh-oh yeah
You don't ever have to walk alone, oh you see Oh come on, take my hand and baby won't you walk with me? Oh ya
When you're waiting for a voice to come In the night and there is no one Ah don't you feel like crying? (cry to me) Don't you feel like crying? (cry to me) Ah don't you feel like a-ca-ca-cra-co-cra-co-cra-cra, (cry to me) Cra-co-cra-co-cra-cra crying? (cry to me) Ah don't you feel like a-cra-co-cra-co-cra-cra, Cra-co-cra-co-cra-cra crying?...
From the album From Langley Park to Memphis in 1988
Brucie dreams life's a highway too many roads bypass my way Or they never begin. Innocence coming to grief At the hands of life - Stinkin' car thief, that's my concept of sin Does heaven wait all heavenly over the next horizon ? But look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt more much more than cars and girls. Just look at us now, start counting, what adds up the way it did when we were young ? Look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt much more than cars and girls. Life's a drive through a dust bowl, what's it do, do to a young soul We are deeply concerned, someone stops for directions, Something responds deep in our engines, we have all been burned Will heaven wait all heavenly over the next horizon ? But look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt more much more than cars and girls. Just look at us now, start counting, what adds up the way it did when we were young ? Look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt much more than cars and girls. Little boy got a hot rod, thinks it makes him some kind of new God Well this is one race he won't win, 'Cos life's no cruise with a cool chick Too many folks feelin' car sick, but it never pulls in. Brucie's thoughts - Pretty streamers - Guess this world needs its dreamers may they never wake up. But look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt more much more than cars and girls. Just look at us now, start counting, what adds up the way it did when we were young ? Look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt much more than cars and girls. But look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt more much more than cars and girls. Just look at us now, start counting, what adds up the way it did when we were young ? Look at us now, quit driving, some things hurt much more than cars and girls.
