I’m on the road of least resistance
I’d rather give up than give in to this
So promise me only one thing, would you?
Just don’t ever make me promises
No promises
I’ve never done this before, promises, promises
But I’m enjoying the illusion
and the things my body says
Now you see me, now you don’t,
oh how well you disappear
What are you running from
and may I interfere?
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields
In sixty-five I was seventeen and running up one-on-one
I don’t know where I’m running now, I’m just running on
Running on empty
Running blind
Running into the sun
But I’m running behind
Life is a highway.
I want to ride it all night long.
If you’re going my way,
I want to drive it all night long.
The highway is your girlfriend as you go by quick,
Suburban trees, suburban speed
And it smells like heaven
And I say roadrunner once
Roadrunner twice
I’m in love with rock & roll and I’ll be out all night
Take me
Away from these simple feelings
I know
There’s places on the other sides of here
Take me
Away from these simple feelings
I know
I’ll take that car and drive there faster
I would never want to take you with me
Until you’re open and grab my hand
I would never wish this much on you
Until you like to live that fast
Piece of shit car,
I got a piece of shit car.
Piece of shit car,
Never gets me very far.
It’s got no CD player- it only got the 8-track.
The interior smells real bad, cause my friend puked in the back.
I got no fuckin’ brakes.
I’m always way out of control.
Eleven times a day, I hear “Hey, watch it asshole!”
Well it’s forty below
And I don’t give a fuck
Got a heater in my truck
And I’m off to the rodeo
Ride em, cowboy
Don’t let em throw you down
You can’t make no money
If you hit the ground
They said, ride em cowboy
Don’t let em throw you down
You’re the toughest cowboy in town
And hes up there, whats that? hawaiian noises?
Bangin on the bongoes like a chimpanzee
That aint workin thats the way you do it
Get your money for nothin get your chicks for free
Hey Ray, hey sugar, tell them who we are)
Well, we’re big rock singers, we got golden fingers and we’re loved everywhere we go (That sounds like us)
We sing about beauty and we sing about truth at ten thousand dollars a show (Right)
We take all kinds of pills, that give us all kind of thrills but the thrill we’ve never known
Is the thrill that’ll get you when you get your picture on the cover of The Rolling Stone
Rolling Stone, wanna see my picture on the cover
Wanna buy five copies for my mother (Yeah!)
Wanna see my smilin’ face, on the cover of The Rolling Stone
(That’s a very, very good idea.)
Blame it on the Stones; blame it on the Stones
You’ll feel so much better, knowing you don’t stand alone
Join the accusation; save the bleeding nation
Get it off your shoulders; blame it on the Stones
Stones would play inside her head,
And where she slept, they made her bed.
And she would ache for love and get
But stones.
I am a rock
I am an island
Who claims that no man is an island?
While I land up in jeopardy, more distant from you by degrees.
I walk this shore in isolation,
And at my feet eternity draws ever sweeter plans for me.
I know why.
I know why.
I feel no pain
'cause I’m an island
I will remain
In the deafness of your silence
I love you sometimes
Always never
He said you’re here
Here with me now
I feel no gain
When you’re around me
I’ll try again
In the darkness you astound me
It’s growing cold
I’m growing old
Is this the only way to see the fire?
It’s raining
nm
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.
I’m a million miles away
A million miles away
A million miles away
And there’s nothing left to bring me back today
And then you’ll have to eat your lunch all by yourself 'Cause I’m already gone.
Since you been gone, I can do whatever I want.
I can see whomever I choose.
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant.
