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
I get so tired of sneakin’ around
Just to get to your back door
I crawled past the garbage and
Your mama jumped out, screamin’
"Don’t come back no more
I have here a sneaker that’s tattered and worn
It’s all full of holes and the laces are torn
A gift from my mother the day I was born
I love it because it’s trash
I’m fixin’ the hole where the rain gets in, and starts my head to wanderin’, where it will go…
I read the news today, oh boy
4,000 holes in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the holes were rather small
They had to count them all
Now they know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
We’re so sorry, Uncle Albert,
We’re so sorry if we’ve caused you any pain.
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I’m always hoping that you’ll end this reign
But it’s my destiny to be the king of pain
King of kings forever and ever
And lord of lords hallelujah hallelujah
And he shall reign forever and ever
Now, I’ve heard there was a secret chord,
That David played, and it pleased the Lord,
But you don’t really care for music, do you?
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth,
The minor fall, the major lift,
The baffled king composing hallelujah…
I dig rock and roll music
And I love to get the chance to play (and sing it.)
I figure it’s about the happiest sound goin’ down today.
The message may not move me
Or mean a great deal to me
But hey! It feels so groovy to say.
Life is a rock but the radio rolled me
Gotta turn it up louder, so my DJ told me
Life is a rock but the radio rolled me
At the end of my rainbow lies a golden oldie
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue, birds fly over the rainbow, so why oh why can’t you…
Free as a bird
It’s the next best thing to be
Free as a bird
Home, home and dry
Like a homing bird I’ll fly
As a bird on wings
I’m free
I’m free
And freedom tastes of reality
I’m free
I’m free
And I’m waiting for you to follow me
Now I’m free
Free fallin’
Yeah, I’m free
Free fallin’
Baby, baby, fallin’ in love
I’m fallin’ in love again
Help me, I think I’m fallin’
in love with you
Wise men say “only fools rush in”
But I can’t help falling in love with you.
Now my whole world is gone for dead
'Cause I can’t get it out of my head
Out on the road today
I saw a DeadHead sticker on a Cadillac
A little voice inside my head said
“Don’t look back, you can never look back”
