This here’s a story 'bout Billy Joe and Bobbie Sue
Two young lovers with nothing better to do
Than sit around the house, get high, and watch the tube
And here’s what happened when they decided to cut loose
And the Colorado rocky mountain high
I’ve seen it rainin’ fire in the sky
I know he’d be a poorer man if he never saw an eagle fly
Rocky mountain high
It’s Colorado rocky mountain high
I’ve seen it rainin’ fire in the sky
Friends around the campfire and everybody’s high
Rocky mountain high
Spent the last year
Rocky Mountain Way
Couldn’t get much higher
Out to pasture
Think it’s safe to say
Time to open fire
Janie’s got a gun,
Janie’ s got a gun,
Her world’s come undone,
From staring straight at the sun…
It’s too late
She’s gone too far
She’s lost the sun
She’s come undun
She didn’t know what she was headed for
And when I found what she was headed for
It was too late
Blinded by the light
Mama always told me not to look into the sights of the sun
Oh, but Mama, that’s where the fun is
Mama told me not come,
That ain’t the way to have fun, son
Yeah, Mama don’t allow no guitar playing 'round here,
Yeah, Mama don’t allow no guitar playing 'round here.
I don’t care what mama don’t allow,
I’ll play my guitar anyhow.
Mama don’t allow no guitar playing 'round here.
Mama, don’t let your babies grow up to be cowboys,
Let 'em be Doctors and Lawyers, and such…
( they can join the band and play spoons, on the side)
God sends his spaceships to America, the beautiful
They land at six o’clock and there we are, the dutiful
Eating from TV trays, tuned into to Happy Days
Waiting for World War III while Jesus slaves
To the mating calls of lawyers in love
I like to be in America!
O.K. by me in America!
Everything free in America
For a small fee in America!
“Kathy,” I said as we boarded a Greyhound in Pittsburgh,
“Michigan seems like a dream to me now.
It took me four days to hitchhike from Saginaw;
I’ve gone to look for America.”
Born in the U.S.A.,
I was born in the U.S.A.
Like a true nature’s child
We were born, born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die
Wild thing,
You make my heart sing,
You make everything, groovey…
Wild thing…
Oh, baby, baby, it’s a wild world
It’s hard to get by just upon a smile
Oh, baby, baby, it’s a wild world
I’ll always remember you like a child, girl
I go wild when you’re in my face
I go wild when I taste your taste
I go wild and I go insane
I get sick, somebody stop this pain
I said, “Doctor,
(Doctor )
Mr. M.D.,
(Doctor )
Now can you tell me, tell me, tell me,
What’s ailin’ me?”
(Doctor )
He said, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yes, indeed, all you really need
Is good lovin’
Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears without crying
Now I want to understand
I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good without hiding
You must help me if you can
Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long
She put the lime in the coconut, she call the doctor, woke ‘I’m up
And said "doctor, ain’t there nothin’ I can take?"
I said “doctor, to relieve this belly ache”
I said “doctor, ain’t there nothin’ I can take?”
I said “doctor, to relieve this belly ache”
