Oh, I could hide ‘neath the wings  
Of the bluebird as she sings  
The six o’clock alarm would never ring  
But six rings and I rise  
Wipe the sleep out of my eyes  
My shavin’ razor’s cold and it stings

It’s six o’clock, good morning sounds are everywhere  
The warmth of spring, a gentle breeze blows through my hair  
I hurry through my life never stopping to see  
How beautiful it was meant to be

Birds are singing, you by my side  
Let’s take a car and go for a ride  
Hey, hey, hey, it’s a beautiful day

We’ll drive on and follow the sun  
Making Sunday go on and on  
Hey, hey, hey, it’s a beautiful day

Come away with me, Lucille,  
In my merry Oldsmobile  
Down the road of life we’ll fly  
Automobubbling you and I

Maybe The Beach Boys have got you now  
With those waves singing, “Caroline, no”  
Rollin’ down that empty ocean road  
Gettin’ to the surf on time

East bound and down, loaded up and truckin’

We’ve got a long way to go, and a short time to get there  
I’m east bound, just watch ol’ “Bandit” run

Back home, sit down and patch my bones  
And get back truckin’ on

We rented a truck and a semi to go  
Travel down the long and the winding road  
Look on the map, I think we’ve been there before  
Close up the doors, let’s roll once more

There’s a flood out in California  
Up north it’s freezin’ cold

This livin’ off the road is getting pretty old

Think I’ll call up my big Mama, tell her I’ll be rollin’ in…

But you know, deep down, I’m kinda tempted to go and see my Bessie again…

Spent my days with a woman unkind  
Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine  
Made up my mind to make a new start  
Going to California with an aching in my heart  
Someone told me there’s a girl out there  
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair

Flowers in her hair  
Flowers everywhere (everywehre)  
Oh I don’t know just why, she simply caught my eye  
(I love the flower girl)  
She seemed so sweet and kind, she crept into my mind  
(To my mind, to my mind)

There was a factory  
Now there are mountains and rivers  
You’ve got it, you’ve got it  
We caught a rattlesnake  
Now we’ve got something for dinner  
You’ve got it, you’ve got it  
There was a shopping mall  
Now it’s all covered with flowers  
You’ve got it, you’ve got it  
If this is paradise  
I wish I had a lawn mower

And do I love you, my oh my

Oh no, no, if I ever, ever lost you would I cry  
Oh, how I love you baby baby, baby, baby.

You think you’ve lost your love  
Well, I saw her yesterday  
It’s you she’s thinkin’ of  
And she told me what to say

She says she loves you  
And you know that can’t be bad  
Yes, she loves you  
And you know you should be glad

You make me glow  
But I cover up, won’t let it show  
So I’m putting my defenses up  
'Cause I don’t wanna fall in love  
If I ever did that, I think I’d have a heart attack  
I think I’d have a heart attack  
I think I’d have a heart attack
