Ob-la-di…ob-la-da…life goes on…bra…oh …how the life goes on!!
It’s my life–
It’s now or never.
I ain’t gonna live forever.
I just want to live while I’m alive.
This is my private life
I have no friends to fear
I’ve got no problems, no cross to bear
If you can find me
Come and get me out of here
If you want it here it is…come and get it…you better hurry cause it’s going fast
Everybody’s goin’ nowhere slowly
They’re only fighting for the chance to be last
There’s nothin’ wrong with goin’ nowhere baby
But we should be goin’ nowhere fast
It’s so much better goin’ nowhere fast
We’re on a road to nowhere
Come on inside
Taking that ride to nowhere
We’ll take that ride
I’m feeling okay this morning
And you know
We’re on the road to paradise
Here we go, here we go
And I don’t own the clothes I’m wearing,
And the road goes on forever,
And I’ve got one more silver dollar,
But I’m not gonna let 'em catch me, no
Not gonna let 'em catch the Midnight Rider
I don’t know why I’m a one man guy
Or why this is a one man show
But these three cubic feet of bone and blood and meat are what I love and know
I’m a one man guy in the morning
I’m the same in the afternoon
One man guy when the sun goes down
See how he dances
See how he loops from side to side
See how he prances
The way his hooves just seem to glide
He’s just a one-trick pony, that’s all he is,
But he turn that trick with pride
She ran calling wildfire.
And I ran
I ran so far away
I just ran
I ran all night and day
I couldn’t get away
Okay, you think you got a pretty face
But the rest of you is out of place
You looked all right before
Fox on the run
And the jailer man and sailor Sam
Were searching every one
For the band on the run
I wanna take you home, yeah
I won’t do you no harm
You’ve got to be all mine, all mine
Ooh Foxy Lady!
Lady, when you’re with me I’m smiling,
Give me all your love.
Your hands build me up when I’m sinking,
Touch me and my troubles all fade.
Come on, come on, come on, come on now touch me, baby
Can’t you see that I am not afraid?
What was that promise that you made?
Why won’t you tell me what she said?
White lace and promises.
A kiss for luck and we’re on our way.
We’ve only just begun.
There’s a song that they sing when they take to the highway
a song that they sing when they take to the sea
a song that they sing of their home in the sky, maybe you can believe it if it helps you to sleep
but singing works just fine for me
Sing…sing a song…sing outloud…sing out strong…
Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Sing with me, just for today
Maybe tomorrow, the good lord will take you away…
