Back In The High Life Again
/“And we’ll drink and dance with one hand free
And have the world so easily
And oh we’ll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again”
“And we’ll drink and dance with one hand free
And have the world so easily
And oh we’ll be a sight to see
Back in the high life again”
“I’m not talkin’ ‘bout retreatin’ little girl
Gonna take our stand, in this Chevy van
Windows open on the rest of the world
Holdin’ hands, all the way to Dixieland
We’ve been tryin’ to turn our lives around
Since we were little kids, it’s been wearin’ us down
Don’t turn away now Darlin’ lets fire it up and wind it out
Come on Baby drive south, with the one you love
Come on Baby drive south, with the one you love”
“Well I’m not a preacher
I’m not a politician
If I reach ya
It’s cause ya happen to listen
I’m just a guy with a guitar
singing a song for you
I’m just a man with a musical vibration flowing through”
“Somewhere beyond the sea
Somewhere waiting for me
My lover stands on golden sands
And watches the ships that go sailin’
Somewhere beyond the sea
She’s there watching for me
If I could fly like birds on high
Then straight to her arms
I’d go sailing”
“But how can you stay, when your heart says no
How can you stop when your feet say go”
“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”
“Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.”
“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”
“I can’t look at the rocket launch
The trophy wives of the astronauts
And i won’t listen to their words
’Cause i like
Birds
I don’t care for walking downtown
Crazy auto-car gonna mow me down
Look at all the people like cows in a herd
Well, i like
Birds”
“I creep through the valleys
And I grope through the woods
’cause I know when I find it my honey
It’s gonna make me feel good
I love everything
So don’t it make you feel sad
’cause I’ll drink to you, my baby
I’ll think to that.”
“When the last light warms the rocks and the rattlesnakes unfold,
Mountain cats will come to drag away your bones.
And rise with me forever across the silent sand,
And the stars will be your eyes and the wind will be my hands.”
“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”
