Well I passed a bar on the way  
To my dingy hotel room  
I spent all my money  
I’ve been drinkin’ since half past noon  
Well I’ll wake there in the mornin’  
Or maybe in the county jail  
Times are hard getting harder  
I’m born to lose and destined to fail

We got to get out while we’re young  
'Cause tramps like us, baby we were born to run!

Gypsys, tramps, and thieves  
We’d hear it from the people of the town  
They’d call us Gypsys, tramps, and thieves  
But every night all the men would come around  
And lay their money down

It’s exactly the same  
You said  
It’s always the same  
But I’ll make it change  
Into something the same

t’s the same old tears on a new background,  
Seeing you, a fading photograph  
It hurts too much to laugh these days.  
But I’m alright, yes, I’m alright, I’m alright.  
It’s the same old song with a new melody,  
But this old candle’s lingering flame is almost gone,  
To see you again is all that keeps me hangin’ on.  
But I’m alright, yes, I’m alright, I’m alright.

I’ll sing my song to the free, to the free

So Love, this is my song  
Here is a song, a serenade to you

[My gift is my song](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13GD78Bmo8s)  
And this one’s for you  
And you can tell everybody this is your song  
It may be quite simple but now that it’s done  
I hope you don’t mind  
I hope you don’t mind  
That I put down in words  
How wonderful life is while you’re in the world

I want to be free.  
Don’t say you love me, say you like me.  
But when I need you beside me,  
Stay close enough to guide me,  
Confide in me. Whoa, oh.

I want to hold your hand,  
Walk along the sand.  
Laughing in the sun,  
Always having fun.  
Doing all those things, without any strings  
To tie me down.

And it’s knowing I’m not shackled  
By forgotten words and bonds  
And the ink stains that have dried upon some line  
That keeps you in the backroads  
By the rivers of my mem’ry  
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind

There is only one river  
There is only one sea  
And it flows through you  
And it flows through me  
There is only one people  
We are one and the same

Oh a mighty winds a blowin’, it’s kickin’ up the sand,  
It’s blowin’ out a message to every woman, child and man  
Yes a mighty winds a blowin’, cross the land and cross the sea,  
It’s blowin’ peace and freedom, it’s blowin’ equality.  
Yes it’s blowin’ peace and freedom, it’s blowin’ you and me…

I think you’re full of shit  
My head is spinning, so  
Blow me  
One last kiss

Blow me.  
You hardly even know me.  
Just set yourself below me,  
And blow me, tonight.

A handy  
Would certainly be dandy.  
But it’s not enough to slow me.  
You gotta blow me, all night.

Lets duet. In ways that make us feel good.  
Lets duet, and make that sacred sound.  
Put two and two together, perfect harmony we found.  
We know its only natural. Of course its only natural.  
God knows its only natural. Lets duet.

The most refined lady bugs do it  
When a gentleman calls  
Moths in your rugs they do it  
What’s the use of moth balls

The chimpanzees in the zoos do it,  
Some courageous kangaroos do it  
Let’s do it, let’s fall in love
