“Son,” his daddy told him, “Make this run your last
The tank is filled with 100 proof, you’re all tuned up and gassed
Now don’t take any chances, if you can’t get through
I’d rather have you back again than all that Mountain Dew”
And there was thunder, thunder over Thunder Road
Thunder was his engine and white lightning was his load
And there was moonshine, moonshine to quench the devil’s thirst
The law, they swore they’d get him, but the devil got him first
Up in Memphis the music’s like a heat wave
White Lightnin’ bound to drive you wild
Mama’s baby’s in the heart of every school girl
“Love Me Tender” leaves ‘em cryin’ in the aisle
Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
W.C. Handy, won’t you look down over me?
Yeah, I got a first class ticket
But I’m as blue as a boy can be
Then I’m walking in Memphis
Was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?
Woah yeah!
I’m walking on sunshine, wooah
I’m walking on sunshine, woooah
I’m walking on sunshine, woooah And Johnny Feelgood!
And don’t it feel good!!
So don’t delay, act now, supplies are running out
Allow if you’re still alive, six to eight years to arrive
And if you follow there may be a tomorrow
But if the offer’s shunned
You might as well be walking on the Sun
Walking back from your house
Walking on the moon
Walking back from your house
Walking on the moon
Feet they hardly touch the ground
Walking on the moon
My feet don’t hardly make no sound
Walking on, walking on the moon
Well, I’d like to visit the moon
On a rocket ship high in the air
Yes, I’d like to visit the moon
But I don’t think I’d like to live there
Though I’d like to look down at the earth from above
I would miss all the places and people I love
So although I might like it for one afternoon
I don’t want to live on the moon
Fly me to the moon
Let me play among the stars
Let me see what spring is like
On Jupiter and Mars
In other words, hold my hand
In other words, darling, kiss me
Sitting in the stand of the sports arena
Waiting for the show to begin
Red lights, green lights, strawberry wine
A good friend of mine follows the stars
Venus and Mars
Are alright tonight
Well, you woke up this morning
Got yourself a gun
Your mama always said you’d be the chosen one
She said, “You’re one in a million, you’ve got to burn to shine”
But you were born under a bad sign with a blue moon in your eyes
But how do you wait for heaven
And who has that much time
And how do you keep your feet on the ground
When you know, that you were born, you were born to fly
Time was on my side
When I was running down the street
It was no bind, bind, bind
A suitcase and an old guitar
And something new to occupy
My mind, mind, mind
You see you were born
Born
Born to be alive
(Born to be alive)
You see you were born
Born
Born
(Born to be alive)
Get your motor runnin’
Head out on the highway
Lookin’ for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin’ go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space
Like a true nature’s child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die
