I don't like to go down to flats
'Cause I can't park on a hill
Instead getting a rolling start
I have to pay the bill.

I guess I need that city life
It sure has lots of style
But pretty soon it wears me out
And I have to think to smile.

I'm thankful for my country home
It gives me peace of mind
Somewhere I can walk alone
And leave myself behind.

It's only someone else's potatoes
You pickin' someone else's patch
And if you go down there anyway
It very seldom lasts.

I found that out once long ago
And it sure got me confused
I still don't know which way to go
To lose those old spud blues.

I'm thankful for my country home
It gives me peace of mind
Somewhere I can walk alone
And leave myself behind.

I came to you,
When I needed a rest
You took my love,
And put it to the test
I saw some things,
That I never
Would have guessed
Feel like a railroad,
I pulled a whole load behind.

That old white line
Is friend of mine
And it's good time
We've been making
Right now I'm rollin' down
The open road
And the daylight
Will soon be breaking.

I was adrift
On a river of pride
It seemed like such a
Long easy ride
You were my raft
But I let you slide
I've been down but
I'm coming back up again.

And I'm rollin' down
The open road
Where the daylight
Will soon be breaking
Right now I'm thinking 'bout
These things that I know
But it's good time
That we've been making.

Mindless drifter on the road
Carry such an easy load
It's how you look,
And how you feel
You must have
A heart of steel.

Why do I keep fuckin' up?

I can see you on a hill
Comatose but walking still
Curves beneath
Your flowing gown
Only I could
Bring you down.

Why do I keep fuckin' up?

Dogs that lick
And dogs that bite
Hounds that howl
Through the night
Broken leashes
Are all over the floor
Keys left hanging
In a swinging door.

Why do I keep fuckin' up?

Keep fuckin' up!

At night when the sky is clear
And the moon is shining down
My heart goes running back to you
I love the way
You open up and let me in
So I go running back to you,
Over and over again.

Over and over again my love
Over and over again with you
Over and over again my love
Over and over again with you.

Remember the nights of love
And that moment on the beach
That wasn't really too long ago
But we paid the price of time,
And now it's out of reach
And so the broken circle go,
Over and over again

Over and over again my love
Over and over again with you
Over and over again my love
Over and over again with you.

Somewhere in a fire of love,
Our dreams went up in smoke
We danced beneath silver rain
Upon the fields of green,
Where time was just a joke
And now the feeling's
Just the same,
Over and over again.

Over and over again my love
Over and over again with you
Over and over again my love
Over and over again with you.

Late one night I was walking
In the valley of hearts.
A spirit came to me and said:
You gotta move to start
You gotta take the first step
You gotta crawl to be tall
And then she me told something,
Something that
I'll never forget.

You got love to burn.
You better
Take your chance on love.
You got to let your guard down
You better take a chance,
A chance on love.
Take chance on love
On love.

In the valley of hearts there's
A house full of broken windows
And the lovers inside just
Quarrel all the time
Why'd you ruin my life?
Where you takin' my kid?
And they hold each other saying:
How did it come to this?

You got love to burn.
You better take your chance
On love.
You got to let your guard down
You better take a chance,
A chance on love.
Take chance on love
On love.

Farmer John, I'm in love with you daughter
Yeah, the one with champagne eyes.
I love the way she walks, I love the way she talks
I love the way she wiggles, she wiggles when she walks

Farmer John, I'm in love with you daughter
Yeah, the one with champagne eyes
Ooaah

Farmer John, I'm in love with you daughter
Yeah, the one with champagne eyes.
I love the way she walks, I love the way she talks
I love the way she moves, she moves she is moving, moving

Farmer John, I'm in love with you daughter (whoa)
Yeah the one, with champagne eyes.

Farmer John, I'm in love with you daughter (whoa)
Yeah the one, with champagne eyes.

Well, I saw an old man
Walking in my place
And he looked at me,
It could have been my face
His words were kind
But his eyes were wild
He said: I got load to love,
But I want one more child.

There's a mansion on the hill
Psychedelic music fills the air
Peace and love live there still
In that mansion on the hill.

Around the next bend,
Take the highway to the sun
Or the rocky road,
It really don't matter
Which one
I was in hurry
But that don't matter now
'Cause I have to get off
That road of tears somehow.

There's a mansion on the hill
Psychedelic music fills the air
Peace and love live there still
In that mansion on the hill.

People say don't rock the boat,
Let things go their own way
Ideas that once seem so right,
Now have gotten hard to say
I wish I could talk to you,
You could talk to me
'Cause there's very few of us left
My friend
From the days that used to be.

Seem like such a simple thing
To follow one's own dream
But possessions and concession
Are not often what they seem
They drag you down
And load you down
In disguise of security.
But we never had
To make those deals
In the days that used to be.

Talk to me, my long lost friend,
Tell me how you are
Are you happy with
Your circumstance,
Are you driving a new car
Does it get you where you wanna go,
With a seven year warranty
Or just another
Hundred thousand miles away
From days that used to be.

Long ago in the book of old,
Before the chapter
Where dreams unfold
A battle raged
On the open page,
Love was a winner there
Overcoming hate
Like a little girl
Who couldn't wait.

Love and only love
Will endure
Hate is everything
You think it is
Love and only love
Will break it down
Love and only love,
Will break it down
Break it down, break it down.

Tomorrow is a long long time
If you're a memory
Trying to find peace of mind
Spirit come back to me,
Give me strength and set me free
Let me hear the magic in my heart.

Love and only love
Will endure
Hate is everything
You think it is
Love and only love
Will break it down
Love and only love,
Will break it down
Break it down, break it down.

Oh, Mother Earth,
With your fields of green
Once more laid down
By the hungry hand
How long can you
Give and not receive
And feed this world
Ruled by greed
And feed this world
Ruled by greed.

Oh, ball of fire
In the summer sky
Your healing light,
Your parade of days
Are they betrayed
By the men of power
Who hold this world
In their changing hands
They hold the world
In their changing hands.

Oh, freedom land
Can you let this go
Down to the streets
Where the numbers grow
Respect Mother Earth
And her giving ways
Or trade away
Our children's days
Or trade away
Our children's days.

Respect Mother Earth
And her giving ways
Or trade away
Our children's days.
