I’ve been around the world  
I’ve seen a million girls  
Ain’t one of them got  
What my lady she’s got  
She steals the spotlight  
Knocks me off my feet  
She’s enough to start a landslide  
Just a walkin’ down the street  
Wearing dresses so tight  
And looking dynamite  
Enough to blow me out  
No doubt about it can’t live without it

</div>

Well East coast girls are hip  
I really dig those styles they wear  
And the Southern girls with the way they talk  
They knock me out when I’m down there

The Mid-West farmer’s daughters really make you feel alright  
And the Northern girls with the way they kiss  
They keep their boyfriends warm at night

I wish they all could be California  
I wish they all could be California  
I wish they all could be California girls

</div>

While I stood under your bedroom window  
Throwin’ up a brick  
No one came, I threw one more  
That really did the trick  
Your daddy came and banged my head  
He said, “What kind of man  
Is this that’s hangin’ round my girl?”  
Huh, he threw me in the can  
You’re a farmer’s daughter  
You’re a farmer’s daughter  
Why do I always get  
The kinda girl I didn’t ought to get?  
I won’t get no more eggs and water  
Now I’ve laid the farmer’s daughter

Jesus, I am overjoyed  
To meet you face to face  
You’ve been getting quite a name  
All around the place  
Healing cripples  
Raising from the dead  
Now I understand you’re God  
At least that’s what you’ve said

So you are the Christ  
You’re the great Jesus Christ  
Prove to me that you’re divine  
Change my water into wine  
That’s all you need do  
Then I’ll know it’s all true  
C’mon King of the Jews

Red, red wine, you give enough of love  
You’re a kind of lovin’ like a blessing from above  
Red, red wine, I loved you right from the start  
Right from the start, with all of my heart

I want some red roses for a blue lady  
Mister florist take my order please  
We had a silly quarrel the other day  
I hope these pretty flowers chase her blues away

I want some red roses for a blue lady  
Send them to the sweetest gal in town  
And if they do the trick, I’ll hurry back to pick  
Your best white orchid for her wedding gown

'Cause you don’t say you need me  
You don’t sing me love songs  
You don’t bring me flowers anymore

And so I wake in the morning  
And I step outside  
And I take a deep breath and I get real high  
And I scream at the top of my lungs  
What’s going on?

Round, like a circle in a spiral,  
Like a wheel within a wheel,  
Never ending or beginning,  
On an ever-spinning reel.

What goes up must come down,  
Spinning wheel got to go round.  
Talking about your troubles it’s a crying sin  
Ride a painted pony  
Let the spinning wheel spin

Going up  
Going down

The world’s a nicer place in my beautiful balloon  
It wears a nicer face in my beautiful balloon  
We can sing a song and sail along the silver sky  
For we can fly we can fly  
Up, up and away  
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon

Bad news comes don’t you worry even when it lands  
Good news will work its way to all them plans  
We both got fired on exactly the same day  
Well we’ll float on good news is on the way  
And we’ll all float on OK

Love comes to you and then after  
Dream on, on to the heart of the sunrise  
Sharp - distance  
How can the sun with its arms all around me  
Sharp - distance  
How can the wind with so many around me  
I feel lost in the city

A river a mountain to be crossed  
The sunshine in mountains sometimes lost  
Around the south side so cold that we cried  
Were we ever colder on that day a million  
Miles away  
It seemed from all eternity

Oh, yeah yeah Sunny  
Thank you for the truth you let me see  
My Sunny  
Thank you for the facts from A to Z

My life was torn like a windblown sand  
Then a rock was formed  
When you held my hand  
Sunny one so true  
I love you

When my Uncle Sonny blew back into town  
Said I’ll just go for a ride and have a look 'round  
He took off his fedora and stuck his fingers in the crown  
And he pulled out twenty dollars  
And he laid that money down
