Well I ain’t seen my baby
Since I don’t know when
I’ve been drinking bourbon, whiskey,
Scotch and gin
Gonna get high man I’m gonna get loose
Need me a triple shot of that juice
She can handle any Champagne brunch,
Bridal shower with Bacardi punch,
Jello shooters full of Smirnoff,
But tequila makes her clothes fall off.
It’s another tequila sunrise
Staring slowly 'cross the sky said goodbye
He was just a hired hand
Working on the dreams he planned to try
The days go by
I went to work for her that summer
A teenage kid so far from home
She was a lonely widow woman
Hell bent to make it on her own
We were a thousand miles from nowhere
Wheat fields as far as I could see
Both needing something from each other
Not knowing yet what that might be
But I would walk 500 miles
And I would walk 500 more
Just to be the man who walks a thousand miles
To fall down at your door
You’re a thousand miles away,
But I still have your love to remember you by.
Oh, my darling, dry your eyes,
Daddy’s coming home soon.
Lord, I’m one, Lord, I’m two,
Lord, I’m three, Lord, I’m four
Lord, I’m five hundred miles away from home
Lord help me Jesus I am wasting it ,so help me help Jesus, my souls in your hands…
Drop kick me, Jesus, through the goal posts of life
End over end, neither left nor to right
Straight through the heart of them righteous uprights
Drop kick me, Jesus, through the goal posts of life
Never been a sinner I never sinned
I got a friend in Jesus
So you know that when I die
He’s gonna set me up with
The spirit in the sky
Jesus shall reign where’er the sun
Does his successive journeys run,
His kingdom stretch from shore to shore
Till moons shall wax and wane no more.
And let the sun set on the ocean
I will watch it from the shore
Let the sun rise over the redwoods
I’ll rise with it till I rise no more
But losing everything is like the sun going down on me.
I’ve been to Hollywood
I’ve been to Redwood
I crossed the ocean for a heart of gold.
I’ve been in my mind,
It’s such a fine line
That keeps me searching for a heart of gold
I’ve been to Reno, Chicago, Fargo, Minnesota, Buffalo, Toronto, Winslow, Sarasota,
Wichita, Tulsa, Ottawa, Oklahoma, Tampa, Panama, Mattawa, La Paloma,
Bangor, Baltimore, Salvador, Amarillo, Tocapillo, Baranquilla, and Perdilla, I’m a killer.
I’ve been everywhere, man.
I’ve been everywhere, man.
He’s a real nowhere man
Sitting in his nowhere land
Making all his nowhere plans for nobody
When life seems full of clouds and rain
And I am full of nothin’ and pain
Who soothes my thumping, bumping brain, uummm?
Nobody!
I don’t want to work
I just want to bang on the drums all day
And he’s up there, what’s that? Hawaiian noises?
He’s banging on the bongos like a chimpanzee
Oh that ain’t working that’s the way you do it
Get your money for nothing get your chicks for free.
Hey, hey, we’re the Monkees,
And people say we monkey around,
But we’re too busy singing
To put anybody down.
