It looks like everywhere I go always get myself in trouble
Cause the girls I pick on ain’t the saintliest kind
And I wind up running barefoot to hell and think of clover
Cause the neck I value most of all is mine
That’s why I left the blue shirt hanging on the bed post in Seattle
My Levi’s float on San Francisco Bay
And I left the Stetson hanging in the hallway down in Dallas
And a dozen pair of boots along the way
These boots are made for walkin’
And that’s just what they’ll do
One of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you
It’s time I’m walkin’ to New Orleans
I’m walkin’ to New Orleans
I’m going to need two pair of shoes
When I get through walkin’ these blues
When I get back to New Orleans
Jesus just left Chicago
And he’s bound for New Orleans
Well now, Jesus just left Chicago
And he’s bound for New Orleans
Yeah, yeah
Workin’ from one end to the other and all points in between
There is a house in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun…
Don’t go around tonight
Well it’s bound to take your life
There’s a bad moon on the rise
I’ve been washed down the sink of your conscience
In the theater of your love I lost my part
And you say you’ve got me out of your system
I’ve been flushed from the bathroom of your heart
Wash him out
Dry him out
Push him out
Fly him out
And send him on his way!
Fly to who you are
Climb upon your star
You believe you’ll find your wings
Fly to your heart
Time keeps on slipping
Into the future
Time keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping
Into the future
I want to fly like an eagle, to the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly (oh, yeah)
Time, he’s waiting in the wings
He speaks of senseless things
His script is you and me, boy
Time, he flexes like a whore
Falls wanking to the floor
His trick is you and me, boy
Time has come today
Young hearts can go their way
Can’t put it off another day
I don’t care what others say
They say we don’t listen anyway
Time has come today
There ain’t no space and time
To keep our love alive
We have existense and it’s all we share
There ain’t no real truth
There ain’t no real lies
Keep on pushin’ 'cause I know it’s there
Now they say your folks are telling you
Be a super star
But I tell you just be satisfied
Stay right where you are
Keep yourself alive, yeah
Keep yourself alive
Ooh, it’ll take you all your time and money
Honey you’ll survive
I see you got your list out
Say your piece and get out
Yes, I get the gist of it
But it’s alright
Sorry that you feel that way
The only thing there is to say
Every silver lining’s got a
Touch of grey
I will get by
I will get by
I will get by
I will survive
And when you finally fly away
I hope I served you well,
For all the wisdom of a lifetime,
No one can ever tell,
But, whatever road you chose,
I’m right behind you, win or lose
Forever young
For ever young…
They say we’re young and we don’t know
We won’t find out until we grow
Well, I don’t know if all that’s true
'Cause you got me, and baby, I got you
I’ve got you under my skin
I’ve got you deep in the heart of me
Now the only love I knew that knew no cause
The only love I knew that knew no bounds
Is living in a heart that’s going under
Six feet of the Mississippi ground
He stopped loving her today
They placed a wreath upon his door
And soon they’ll carry him away
He stopped loving her today
