More song lyrics 8

Send me a pan of corn bread with some turnip greens on the side
And if you really want to mess with my head give me anything southern fried
Give me some faded blue jeans and a pair of old cowboyboots
And I'm going to tell you where I come from tell you something about my roots
I'm a southern man
I'm a southern man

Southern man better keep your head
Don't forget what your good book said
Southern change gonna come at last
Now your crosses are burning fast
Southern man
I saw cotton and I saw black
Tall white mansions and little shacks
Southern man, when will you pay them back?
I heard screaming and bullwhips cracking
How long? How long? (Ah)

Big wheels keep on turnin'
Carry me home to see my kin
Singin' songs about the Southland
I miss Alabamy once again, and I think it's a sin, I said
Well, I heard Mr. Young sing about her
Well, I heard old Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A Southern man don't need him around, anyhow
Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet home Alabama
Lord, I'm comin' home to you

Now nothing seems as strange as
When the leaves began to change
Or how we thought those days would never end
Sometimes I'll hear that song again, I'll start to sing along
And think how I'd love to see that girl again

While we were trying different things
And we were smoking funny things
Making love out by the lake to our favorite song
Sippin whiskey out the bottle, not thinking of tomorrow
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long
Singing Sweet Home Alabama all summer long

Those were the days my friend
I thought they’d never end

Sorry, forgot the rest

I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go?
I wish those days could come back once more
Why did those days ever have to go?
'Cause I love them so

How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl
year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have you found?
The same old fears
Wish you were here

I'm a walking in the rain
Tears are falling and I feel the pain
Wishing you were here with me
To end this misery
And I wonder, wo wo wo wo wonder,
Why, why, why, why, why, why she ran away?
And I wonder
Where she will stay ay ?
My little runaway, run, run, run, run, runaway.

Each day through my window I watch her as she passes by
I say to myself "you're such a lucky guy "
To have a girl like her is truly a dream come true
Out of all the fellows in the world she belongs to you

But it was just my imagination
Running away with me
It was just my imagination
Running away with me

Kodachrome
They give us those nice bright colors
They give us the greens of summers
Makes you think all the world's a sunny day
I got a Nikon camera
I love to take a photograph
So mama don't take my Kodachrome away

If you took all the girls I knew
When I was single
And brought them all together for one night
I know they'd never match
My sweet imagination
Everything looks worse in black and white

I'm in love with a German film star
I once saw in a bar
Sitting in a corner in imperfect clothes
Trying not to pose
For the cameras and the girls
It's a glamorous world

I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's gray and Wednesday too
Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday, I'm in love
Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday, break my heart
Oh, Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday, I'm in love
Saturday wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate
I don't care if Monday's black
Tuesday, Wednesday, heart attack
Thursday never looking back
It's Friday, I'm in love
Monday you can hold your head
Tuesday, Wednesday, stay in bed
Or Thursday watch the walls instead
It's Friday, I'm in love

I learned the truth at seventeen
That love was meant for beauty queens
And high school girls with clear skinned smiles
Who married young and then retired
The valentines I never knew
The Friday night charades of youth
Were spent on one more beautiful
At seventeen I learned the truth...

Yea though we ventured through the valley of the stars
You in all your jewelry and my bleeding heart
Who couldn't be together and who could not be apart
We should've jumped out of that airplane after all
Flying sky ways overhead it wasn't hard to fall
And I had so many crashes that I couldn't feel at all

And it feels like I'm seventeen again
Feels like I'm seventeen again

Time might break you, god forsake you
Leave you burnt and bruised
Innocence will teach you what it feels like to be used
Thought that you'd done everything, you didn't have a clue

And it feels like I'm seventeen again
Feels like I'm seventeen again

Looking from the outside in
Some things never change

Hey hey I'm a million miles away
Funny how it seems like yesterday

All those fake celebrities and all those vicious queens
All the stupid papers and the stupid magazines
Sweet dreams are made of anything
That gets you in the scene

And it feels like I'm seventeen again
And it feels like I'm seventeen again
Yes it feels like I'm seventeen again
Seventeen, seventeen again yeah yeah yeah

Sweet dreams are made of these
Who am I to disagree
I travelled the world and the seven seas
Everybody's looking for something, yeah

It was a warm afternoon
The last day in June
And the sun was a demon
One ten in the shade
As we drank lemonade
And the pavement was steaming.
I told Billy Ray
In his red Chevrolet
I needed time for some thinking
I was just walking by
When I looked in her eye
And I swore it was winking...
She was thirty one
I was seventeen
I knew nothing about love
She knew everything
So I sat down beside her
On a front porch swing
And wondered what the coming night would bring...

On a warm summer's evening
On a train bound for nowhere
I met up with the gambler
We were both too tired to sleep
So we took turns a-starin'
Out the window at the darkness
The boredom overtook us
And he began to speak

You can run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Run on for a long time
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Sooner or later God'll cut you down
Go tell that long tongue liar
Go and tell that midnight rider
Tell the rambler, the gambler, the back biter
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down
Tell 'em that God's gonna cut 'em down

One of these days I’m going to cut you into little pieces

One of these days you're gonna be sorry
Cause your game I'm gonna play
And you'll find out without really tryin'
Each time that my kisses stray
Cause the night has a thousand eyes
And a thousand eyes will see me too
And no matter what I do
I could never disguise all my little white lies
Cause the night has a thousand eyes
So remember when you tell those little white lies
That the night has a thousand eyes

I hear the sound of sorrow in the wind
Blowing down from every mile I've ever been
Calling me out on some road that just won't end
Where the sweetheart rides the rodeo again
A thousand nights a thousand towns I took the bows
But there is no compensation for me now
Out along the highway where the west was won
No matter how fast I ride or far I run

I go out walking after midnight
Out in the moonlight
The way we used to do
I go out walking after midnight
Searching for you....
I walk for miles along the highway
Well that's just my way
Of showing I love you
I go out walking after midnight
Searching for you.

Don't get me wrong
If I'm looking kind of dazzled
I see neon lights
Whenever you walk by
Don't get me wrong
If you say hello and I take a ride
Upon a sea where the mystic moon
Is playing havoc with the tide
Don't get me wrong
Don't get me wrong
If I'm acting so distracted
I'm thinking about the fireworks
That go off when you smile
Don't get me wrong
If I split like light refracted
I'm only off to wander
Across a moonlit mile

Don't get me wrong I'd never say never
'Cause though love can change the weather
No act of God can pull me away from you
I'm just a realistic man, a bottle filled with shells and sand
Afraid to love beyond what I can lose when it comes to you
And though I see us through, yeah
Chances are we'll find two destinations
Chances roll away from me
Still chances are more than expectations
The possibilities over me

Call out the instigator because there's something in the air
We've got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution's here
And we know it's right
We all know that it's right
We have got to get together
We have got to get together now.

I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know I'll find you somehow
And somehow I'll return again to you
The mist is lifting slowly
I can see the way ahead
And I've left behind the empty streets
That once inspired my life
And the strength of the emotion
Is like thunder in the air
'Cause the promise that we made each other
Haunts me to the end
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere, somewhere
I know you're out there somewhere
Somewhere you can hear my voice
I know I'll find you somehow
Somehow, somehow
I know I'll find you somehow
And somehow I'll return again to you
