Climb upon my knee, Sonny Boy,
Though you’re only three, Sonny Boy,
You’ve no way of knowing,
There’s no way of showing,
What you mean to me, Sonny Boy.
And when you finally fly away, I’ll be hoping that I served you well.
For all the wisdom of a lifetime, no one can ever tell.
But whatever road you choose, I’m right behind you win or lose,
Forever young. (Forever young)
Forever young. (Forever young)
Forever young. Forever young
For forever young
I saw her standing on the corner,
(ooh ooh ooh)
A yellow ribbon in her hair,
(ooh ooh ooh)
I couldn’t keep myself from callin’ ,
Looky there,
Looky there,
Looky there,
Oh looky there!
Young blood,
Young blood,
Young blood,
I can’t get you outta my mind.
Well, I’m a standing on a corner
In Winslow, Arizona
And such a fine sight to see.
It’s a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford
Slowin’ down to take a look at me.
Look over there! (Where?)
There’s a lady that I used to know
She’s married now, or engaged, or something, so I am told
Is she really going out with him?
Is she really gonna take him home tonight?
Is she really going out with him?
Cause if my eyes don’t deceive me,
There’s something going wrong around here.
There’s something happening here
What it is ain’t exactly clear
There’s a man with a gun over there
Telling me I got to beware
I think it’s time we stop, children, what’s that sound
Everybody look what’s going down
Happiness is a warm gun (bang bang shoot shoot)
Happiness is a warm gun, mama (bang bang shoot shoot)
Shoot to thrill, play to kill
Too many women and too many pills, yeah
Shoot to thrill, play to kill
I got my gun at the ready gonna fire at will
She’s a Killer Queen,
Gunpowder, gelatine,
Dynamite with a laser beam,
Guaranteed to blow your mind,
Anytime.
I’ve cried so many times and that’s no lie
It seems to make you laugh each time I cry
Didn’t I blow your mind this time, didn’t I
Didn’t I blow your mind this time, didn’t I
Yes sir
Yes, how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they’re forever banned?
The answer my friend is blowin’ in the wind
The answer is blowin’ in the wind.
Come inside, the show’s about to start
guaranteed to blow your head apart
Rest assured you’ll get your money’s worth
The greatest show in Heaven, Hell or Earth.
“Now you’ll never get to Heaven” Mama said,
Remember Mama said,
Ticking, ticking,
“Grow up straight and true blue; run along to bed,”
Hear it, hear it, ticking, ticking.
I turned twenty-one in prison doing life without parole.
No one could steer me right but Mama tried, Mama tried
Mama tried to raise me better, but her pleading, I denied
That leaves only me to blame 'cause Mama tried
Well, I was drunk the day my Mom got out of prison,
And, I went to pick her up in the rain…
I saw her sitting in the rain,
Raindrops falling on her,
She didn’t seem to care,
She sat there and smiled at me.
Let the stormy clouds chase
Everyone from the place
Come on with the rain
I’ve a smile on my face
Don’t know why
There’s no sun up in the sky
Stormy weather
Since my man and I ain’t together
Keeps raining all the time
I know to you, it might sound strange
But I wish it would rain, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
If I wait for cloudy skies
You won’t know the rain from the tears in my eyes
You’ll never know that I still love you
So though the heartaches remain
I’ll do my crying in the rain
