There’s a six-lane highway down by the creek  
Where I went skinny-dippin’ as a child  
And a drive-in show where the meadows used to grow  
And the strawberries used to grow wild

(Don’t it make you wanna go home?)  
(Don’t it make you wanna go home?)  
All God’s children get weary when they roam  
(Don’t it make you) wanna, wanna go home?

</div>

See if the rhyme has reason  
Chasing the wind  
Look for a change of season  
Somewhere to begin  
The freeway is my song  
Highway nights, red tail lights, lead my love light on  
Highway nights, freeway sights, to this eagle I belong  
It rolls me on

[You offered me an eagle’s wing](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tj1tZwGqjU8)  
That to the sun I might soar and sing  
And if I heard the owl’s cry  
Into the forest I would fly  
And in its darkness find you by.

And so our love’s not a simple thing  
Nor our truths unwavering  
But like the moon’s pull on the tide  
Our fingers touch our hearts collide  
I’ll be a moonsbreath from your side

Oh, I’m bein’ followed by a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow  
Leapin and hoppin’ on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow

</div>

Well, it’s a marvelous night for a moondance  
With the stars up above in your eyes  
A fantabulous night to make romance  
'Neath the cover of October skies  
And all the leaves on the trees are falling  
To the sound of the breezes that blow  
You know, I’m trying to please to the calling  
Of your heartstrings that play soft and low

We were dreamers  
Only dreamers  
And in our haste  
To grow too soon  
We left our innocence  
On Desert Moon

Sing with me, sing it for the year  
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tear  
Sing with me, if it’s just for today  
Maybe tomorrow the good Lord will take you away

Dream on, dream on, dream on,  
Dream until your dream come true

Hey there, please come and stay with me now  
Beneath the ashes of our sky  
Beneath the curse that sucks you dry

Almost a prize, I can’t believe it  
Right between the eyes  
Almost a man, almost master  
Almost also-ran

On the way out, out of this world  
On a day out, out of this world

The city streets are empty now  
(The lights don’t shine no more)  
And so the songs are way down low  
(Turnin’, turnin’, turnin’)  
A sound that flows into my mind  
(The echoes of the daylight)  
Of everything that is alive  
In my blue world

I’m Mr Blue  
When you say you love me  
(I’m Mr Blue)  
Then prove it by goin’ out on the sly  
Provin’ your love isn’t true.  
Call me Mr Blue.

We could steal a car and listen to the stars  
I can see you’ve choked on them too  
Had enough of late night films  
Just enough for an hour or two  
Hey Blue show me something new  
Hey Blue show me something new

Down on the corner, by the traffic light,  
everybody’s lookin’, as she goes by,  
they turn their heads and they, watch her till she’s gone.

Lord have mercy, Baby’s got her blue jeans on!

Willy and the poor boys are playin’

They say the heart of rock and roll is still beating  
And from what I’ve seen I believe 'em  
Now the old boy may be barely breathing  
But the heart of rock and roll, THE heart of rock and roll is still beating

I don’t know  
I don’t know which side I’m on  
I don’t know my right from left  
Or my right from wrong  
Say I’m a fool  
You say I’m not for you  
But if I’m a fool for you  
Oh, that’s something

Two hearts beat as one  
Two hearts beat as one  
Two hearts…

What do you want from life  
To try and be happy  
while you do the nasty things you must

Well, you can’t have that, but if you’re an American citizen you are entitled to:…  
real simulated Indian jewelry,  
a Gucci shoetree,  
a year’s supply of antibiotics,  
a personally autographed picture of Randy Mantooth  
and Bob Dylan’s new unlisted phone number,  
a beautifully restored 3rd Reich swizzle stick,  
Rosemary’s baby,  
a dream date in kneepads with Paul Williams…  
a solid gold Kama Sutra coffee pot,  
or a baby’s arm holding an apple?

Your flask of Jack  
Your vibrator  
Your fear of heights  
Your Nikon lens  
Your mom and dad  
Your disco stick  
Your soundtrack to “karate kid”  
Your ginsu knives  
Your rosary  
Your new Rebecca Black CD  
Your favorite room  
Your bowie knife  
Your stuffed giraffe  
Your new glass eye  
Your sousaphone  
Your breakfast tea  
Your Nick Drake tapes  
Your giving tree  
Your ice cream truck  
Your missing wife  
Your will to live  
Your urge to cry  
Remember we’re all gonna die  
So play, your ukulele
