“Time never cares, if you’re there or not there All you ever needed was a simple plan But you’re doing well, I mean you’re not dead So let’s celebrate while we still can
I know what they say, I could give a care They talk so much on me, I must be doing something right I saw my son today, in the likeness of a full grown man So I’ll celebrate while I still can”
“In Santa Barbara, Hannah cried ”I miss those freezing beaches,” I walked into town To buy some kindling for the fire, Hannah tore the New York Times up into pieces”
“Jumpin’ off the porch like mom’s not home Tell me why the best things feel so wrong Summer nights, Love ‘em how they take so long Run with the feeling of being alive while we’re still young”
“The birds they sang at the break of day Start again I heard them say Don’t dwell on what has passed away or what is yet to be. Ah the wars they will be fought again The holy dove She will be caught again bought and sold and bought again the dove is never free. Ring the bells that still can ring Forget your perfect offering There is a crack in everything That’s how the light gets in.”
“Who knows, who knows, who knows, who knows I just go where the trade winds blows Sending love to my friends and foes And I suppose I’m pleased To be chilling in the West Indies Jah provide all my wants and needs I got the sunshine rivers and trees And green leaves”
“It’s time to move on, time to get going What lies ahead, I have no way of knowing But under my feet, baby, grass is growing It’s time to move on, it’s time to get going”
“Fruity lipstick on your cheek I haven’t been home in a week I’m cool with that, I’ve got the sun to worry about Let’s get started truth or dare A million flowers in my hair I’m cool with that I’ve got the beach to worry about I can feel the sand on my skin And my drink is kicking in And if you ever feel like leaving her I’ll be here drinking my coconut water”
“Singing to an ocean, I can hear the ocean’s roar Play for free, I play for me, I play a whole lot more, more! Sing about the good things and the sun that lights the day I used to sing to the mountains, has the ocean lost its way? I don’t know.”
“By the time we made it up to Greasy Lake I had my head out the window and Janey’s fingers were in the cake I think I really dug her ‘cause I was too loose to fake I said, “I’m hurt.” She said, “Honey, let me heal it” And we danced all night to a soul fairy band And she kissed me just right, like only a lonely angel can She felt so nice Just as soft as a spirit in the night”
“Hot sand on toes, cold sand in sleeping bags, I’ve come to know that memories Were the best things you ever had The summer shone beat down on bony backs So far from home where the ocean stood Down dust and pine cone tracks
We slept like dogs down by the fire side Awoke to the fog all around us The boom of summer time”
“Down here, where’s we’re at The weather changes, that’s the way it goes Sometimes it snows, when everything’s wrong Sometimes it snows, but when it does, it doesn’t last long
Down here, where we’re at All we do is sit out on the porch And play our songs, and nothing’s wrong Sometime friends come around, they all sing along
Down here, where we’re at Everyone is equally poor Down here, we don’t care We don’t care what happens outside the screen door”
“Hey, buddy do you got the time? No I don’t got a watch, can you spare a dime? I only got two olives and a couple of limes, Guessin’ that means it’s martini time.”
“There’s a dark and a troubled side of life There’s a bright and a sunny side too Though we meet with the darkness and strife The sunny side we also may view
Keep on the sunny side always on the sunny side Keep on the sunny side of life It will help us every day it will brighten all our way If we keep on the sunny side of life”
“I can smell your cigarettes in my dreams I’m filling your pockets with gasoline Maybe I’ll catch you in the dark What a beautiful bonfire we could start”
