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
Going down that long lonesome highway
Bound for the mountains and the plains
Sure ain’t nothing here gonna tie me
And I got some friends I’d like to see
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin’
A-we gonna do what they say can’t be done
We’ve got a long way to go, and a short time to get there
I’m east bound, just watch ol’ “Bandit” run
Truckin’, I’m goin’ home
Whoa—oh baby, back where I belong
Back home, sit down and patch my bones
And get back truckin’ on
Well now keep on truckin’ mama, truckin’ my blues away
Keep on truckin’ mama, truckin’ my blues away
Here you come mama big as sin, tell what you been doin’ by the shape you’re in
So keep on truckin’ mama, truckin’ my blues away
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
The lock upon my garden gate’s a snail, that’s what it is
The lock upon my garden gate’s a snail, that’s what it is
First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is
First there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is
And do I love you, my oh my
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, river deep, Lord, mountain high
Oh no, no, if I ever, ever lost you would I cry
Oh, how I love you baby baby, baby, baby.
River Deep - Mountain High. Ike & Tina Turner
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
If you don’t take her out tonight
She’s gonna change her mind
(She’s gonna change her mind)
And I will take her out tonight
And I will treat her kind
(I’m gonna treat her kind)
There’s gonna be a heartache tonight
The moon shinin’ bright
So turn out the light and we’ll get it right
There’s gonna be a heartache tonight
A heartache tonight, I know
Heartache, baby
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
