You hide your eyes
But the ugly truth just loves to give it away
You gave yourself
If you were mine to give, I might throw it away
You share but money can’t give
What the truth takes away
Throw it away
You can’t hide your lyin’ eyes
And your smile is a thin disguise
I thought by now you’d realize
There ain’t no way to hide your lyin eyes
It doesn’t matter what you say
They always watch with hollow eyes
To put you down they always find a way to criticize
The vultures fly high
They circle over us all
The vultures fly high
I’ll take your hand if you fall
Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who stilled the water
Put your hand in the hand of the man
Who calmed the sea
Savior, like a shepherd lead us,
Much we need thy tender care;
In thy pleasant pastures feed us,
For our use thy folds prepare.
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who cares
Your own personal Jesus
Someone to hear your prayers
Someone who’s there
When the truth is found to be lies
And all the joy within you dies
Don’t you want somebody to love?
Don’t you need somebody to love?
How can you look in the eyes
And make it sound so very nice
With those True Lies
Lies, lies, you’re tellin’ me that you’ll be true
Lies, lies, that’s all I ever get from you
Tears, tears, I shed a million tears for you
Tears, tears, and now you’re lovin’ someone new
A million to one
That’s what our folks think
about this love of ours
Young love, first love
Filled with deep devotion
Young love, our love
We share with deep emotion
Billy wrote a letter back home to Patti’s parents tryin’ to explain
He said, “We’re both real sorry that it had to turn out this way.
But there ain’t no point in talking when there’s nobody list’ning so we just ran away.
Patti gave birth to a ten pound baby boy, yeah!”
Young hearts be free tonight
Time is on your side
He says “Bill, I believe this is killing me.”
As the smile ran away from his face.
“And I’m sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place.”
We gotta get out of this place
If its the last thing we ever do
We gotta get out of this place
'Cause girl, there’s a better life
For me and you
Now my girl you’re so young and pretty
And one thing I know is true, yeah
You’ll be dead before your time is due
I know it
There’s a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us
Somewhere
There’s a summer place
Where it may rain or storm
Yet I’m safe and warm
For within that summer place
Your arms reach out to me
The summer sun that blows my mind
Is falling down on all that I’ve ever known
In time we’ll kiss the world goodbye
Falling down on all that I’ve ever known
Is all that I’ve ever known
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you’ll wait for me
Hold me like you’ll never let me go
‘Cause I’m leavin’ on a jet plane
Don’t know when I’ll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go
And I’m goin’ with some hesitation
You know that I can surely see
That I don’t want to get caught up in any of that
Funky shit goin’ down in the city
Big ol’ jet airliner
Don’t carry me too far away
Oh, oh big ol’ jet airliner
Cause it’s here that I’ve got to stay
Thank you, Republic Airlines, for splintering the neck on my guitar
My guitar case was so strong that nothing could go through it
Way to go Republic, only you could do it
Crash bang, Republic Airlines, in the field of demolition, you’ll go far
For you took it as a challenge when I checked in mycase
And you saw the fragile stickers glued all over the place
May a team of mad flamenco dancers do to your face
What you did to the neck on my guitar
