I drift out and I drift out far, and I surmise…
That just everything I’ve felt has… declined
Why did you leave me adrift like this?
And what is the meaning of my decline?
I could have had it all
But I let it slip away
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Oh, give me the beat boys and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Standing by the window as the fog rolls in
I swear I can hear that far-off music
Jelly Roll is playing down in Stony Hill
Satchmo wailing somewhere in Chicago
Coltrane reaching for the notes his mind can hear
They’ll remain a part of all that I know
Oh, they play, feeling that won’t go away
Left the sounds of their souls in the air
I can hear it up there, and I know
They left their soul shadows on my mind
Other arms reach out to me
Other eyes smile tenderly
Still in peaceful dreams I see
The road leads back to you
I said Georgia, oh Georgia
No peace I find (peace I find)
Just an old sweet song
Keeps Georgia on my mind (Georgia on my mind)
Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet home Alabama
Lord, I’m coming back to you
California, here I come
Right back where I started from
Where bowers of flowers bloom in the spring
Each morning at dawning, birdies sing and everything
A sun-kissed miss said, “Don’t be late”
That’s why I can hardly wait
Open up that Golden Gate
California, here I come
California, a prophet on the burning shore
California, I’ll be knocking on the golden door
Like an angel standing in a shaft of light
Rising up to paradise, I know I’m gonna shine
Tired and weary and feelin’ low
Among strange people I didn’t know
A long, long way from home and a long time gone
Oh but Eugene, Oregon, you were kind
The love you gave was genuine
You gave me inspiration and the strength to carry on
And when I hold you in my arms, I promise you
You’re gonna feel a love that’s beautiful and new
This time, I’ll love you even better than I ever did before
And you’ll be in my arms forevermore
You say nobody’s after you
The fact is what you say is true
But I can love you like nobody can
Even better.
Nobody – Sylvia

Give me one more chance
And you’ll be satisfied
Give me two more chances
You won’t be denied
Well my heart is where it’s always been
My head is somewhere in between
Give me one more chance
Let me be your lover tonight
(I’ll make love to you)
You’re the real thing
Yeah the real thing
You’re the real thing
Even better than the real thing, child
I went back to my mother
I said, “I’m crazy, ma, help me”
She said, “I know how it feels, son
'Cause it runs in the family”
Can you see the real me, mama? Mama!
Can you see the real me, mama? Oh, mama!
“Come on home, girl” Mama cried on the phone
“Too soon to lose my baby yet, my girl should be at home”
But try to understand, try to understand
Try, try, try to understand, he’s a magic man, Mama, ah
He’s a magic man
Can you understand you can really understand
When the darkness comes you still shine
Open up your eyes and make the day shine sunshine now
Open up your dreams and and make the way shine sunshine now
Can you understand do you understand
Open up your life and make your lifetime sunshine now
Can you understand do you understand
It’s getting near dawn
When lights close their tired eyes
I’ll soon be with you, my love
Give you my dawn surprise
I’ll be with you, darling, soon
I’ll be with you when the stars start falling
I’ve been waiting so long
To be where I’m going
In the sunshine of your love
Dawn is a feeling
A beautiful ceiling
The smell of grass
Just makes you pass
Into a dream
You’re here today
No future fears
This day will last
A thousand years
If you want it to
Pretty as a midsummers morn, they call her Dawn
Dawn, go away I’m no good for you
Oh, Dawn, stay with him he’ll be good to you
Hang on, Hang on to him
Think, what a big man he’ll be
Think, all the places you’ll see
Now think what the future would be
With a poor boy like me
I’m just a poor boy
I need no sympathy
So if you meet me, have some courtesy (whoo-hoo, whoo-hoo)
Have some sympathy, and some taste (whoo-hoo, woo-hoo)
Use all your well-learned politeness (whoo-hoo, woo-hoo)
Or I’ll lay your soul to waste, mm yeah (whoo-hoo, woo-hoo)

And the devil in a black dress watches over
My guardian angel walks away
Life is short and Love is always over in the morning
Black wind come carry me far away
With the sunlight dying and night above me
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain inside
You run for cover in the Temple of Love
You run for another it’s all the same
For the wind will blow and throw your walls aside
