You made me cry, you told me lies
But I can’t stand to say goodbye
Mama I’m coming home
I could be right, I could be wrong
It hurts so bad, it’s been so long
Mama I’m coming home
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
Tell the world that I’m coming home
Let the rain wash away all the pain from yesterday
I know my kingdom awaits and they’ve forgiven my mistakes
I’m coming home, I’m coming home
Tell the world that I’m coming, home
Tonight I’ll sing my songs again
I’ll play the game and pretend
But all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me
Homeward bound
I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home where my thought’s escaping
Home where my music’s playing
Home where my love lies waiting
Silently for me
Silently for me
Oh the prairie lights are burnin’ bright
The Chinook wind is a-movin’ in
Tomorrow night I’ll be Alberta bound
“Good night, America, how are you?”
Said, “Don’t you know me, I’m your native son.
I’m the train they call ‘The City of New Orleans’.
I’ll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done.”
In 1814 we took a little trip
Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip
We took a little bacon and we took a little beans
And we caught the bloody British in a town in New Orleans
We fired our guns and the British kep a-comin’
There wasn’t nigh as many as there was a while ago
We fired once more and they begin to runnin’
On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico
Don’t know the reason,
I’ve stayed here all season,
Nothing to show but this brand new tattoo,
It’s a real beauty,
A Mexican cutie…
Way down here you need a reason to move
Feel a fool running your stateside games
Lose your load, leave your mind behind Baby Jane
Oh, Mexico
It sounds so simple I just got to go
The sun’s so hot I forgot to go home
Guess I’ll have to go now
Where I go I just don’t know
I might end up somewhere in Mexico.
When I find my peace of mind
I’m gonna keep you for the end of time.
Out In The West Texas Town Of El Paso
I Fell In Love With A Mexican Girl
Nighttime Would Find Me In Rosa’s Cantina
Music Would Play And Felina Would Whirl
'Cause I’m thinking of you, down in Mexico,
Feeling free as the air,
Here I am, stuck in the city,
Still going nowhere.
And all the vampires walkin’ through the valley
Move west down Ventura Boulevard
And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows
And the good girls are home with broken hearts
And I’m free, free fallin’
Yeah, I’m free, free fallin’
I walk this empty street
On the boulevard of broken dreams
Where the city sleeps
And I’m the only one, and I walk alone
My shadow’s the only one that walks beside me
My shallow heart’s the only thing that’s beating
Sometimes I wish someone out there will find me
Till then I walk alone
The seven wonders of the world, I’ve seen,
The places I’ve been,
Take my advice, folks, see Beale Street first…
See the pyramids along the Nile,
Watch the sunrise on a tropic isle,
Just remember, darlin’, all the while–
You belong to me.
I remember you-ooh
You’re the one who made my dreams come true
A few kisses ago
Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer–
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said dreamer, you’re nothing but a dreamer–
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said “far out, what a day, a year, a life it is!”
You know, well you know, you had it comin’ to you,
Now, there’s not a lot I can do.
But I’m a dreamer,
Don’t tell me not to dream,
But I’m a believer…
Cheer up sleepy Jean
Oh, what can it mean to a
Daydream believer and a
Homecoming queen?
You may say I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope some day you’ll join us
And the world will be as one
