It was Christmas Eve babe
In the drunk tank
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
Stealin’
Stealin’
Pretty momma don’t ya tell on me
I’m stealin’ back to that same old used-to-be
It’s exactly the same
You said
It’s always the same
But I’ll make it change
Into something the same
I promise
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.
Sing
Sing a song
Sing out loud
Sing out strong
I’ll sing my song to the wide open spaces
I’ll sing my heart out to the infinite sea
I’ll sing my visions to the sky high mountains
I’ll sing my song to the free, to the free
I care not what the world may say
Without your love there is no day
So Love, this is my song
Here is a song, a serenade to you
My gift is my song
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…
You were giving me head on the unmade bed
While the limousines wait in the streets
You think I’m just too serious
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
