Wheel in the sky keeps on turnin’

And we’re rollin’, rollin’, rollin’  
Rollin’ on the river

We all end in the ocean  
We all start in the streams  
We’re all carried along  
By the river of dreams  
In the middle of the night

From the day we arrive on the planet  
And blinking, step into the sun  
There’s more to be seen than can ever be seen  
More to do than can ever be done

Oh you can go to the East  
Go to the West  
But someday you’ll come  
Weary at heart  
Back where you started from  
You’ll find your happiness lies  
Right under your eyes  
Back in your own backyard

The tax man’s taken all my dough  
And left me in my stately home  
Lazing on a sunny afternoon

I go out to work on Monday morning  
Tuesday, I go off to honeymoon  
I’ll be back again before it’s time for sunny-down  
I’ll be lazing on a Sunday afternoon

If it’s Friday night, I’m at the ball game,  
And first thing Saturday, if it don’t rain  
I’m headed out to the lake and I’ll be gone all weekend long.  
But I’ll call you back when I get home on Sunday afternoon.  
And P.S. – if this is Austin, I still love you.

I thought happiness  
Was Lubbock, Texas  
In my rear view mirror  
My momma kept calling me home  
But I just did not want to hear her

Maybe my love could fly over the ocean  
Maybe my heart should try to leave him alone  
All that I really know is that he’s goin’  
Too far from Texas  
Too close to home

I wanna fly like an eagle  
To the sea  
Fly like an eagle  
Let my spirit carry me  
I want to fly like an eagle

I wanna be free,  
Like the bluebirds flying by me  
Like the waves out on the blue sea.  
If your love has to tie me, don’t try me,  
Say good-bye.

Born to lose and now I’m losing you.

Beaten by the queen of hearts every time  
Have you heard about the lonesome loser?  
He’s a loser but he still keeps on tryin’

Come to daddy on the inside straight,  
Well I got no chance of losin this time.
