When I was a lad and old Shep was a pup over hills and the meadows we'd stray. Just a boy and his dog we were both full of fun and we grew up together that way.
(They're selling the homeplace today). Yeah they're sellin' me out today just lost too much money too many years in a row. And since pa died I ain't got no help.
There are some pills and modern thrills that I don't understand. I guess that I'm not what you call a modern carefree man. I cut my hair and wear my clothes the way my daddy does.
Well, everybody's going out and having fun. I'm just a fool for staying home and having none. I can't get over how she set, set me free. Oh, lonesome me.
Only you know and I know. All the lovin' we've got to show. So don't refuse to believe it. By reading too many meanin's. . 'Cause you know that I mean what I say so don't go.
I know it's unbelievable. And I know it seems unthinkable. There's a place I wanna meet you. There's a place, a place we got to, got to, got to. Need to, got to, got to.
I scored some speed in San Berdino. So me and baby could get a little bump. And now shes in that motel room. Puttin on a show for some chump. . Yeah, well, babys gotta make a livin.

I may sound ungrateful. But tonight you know I am. How come some great big things. You can let slip through your hands. . Oh, oh, oh, W-O-E is me. . I'm a simple boy, I just need a simple girl.
Big brown eyes, soft red lips. I'm thinkin' I could get used to this. This could be the opportunity of a lifetime. . My heart melts when you whisper my name.
Words mean nothing and are useless in the face of time. And I don't want to be walking on my own.

Tin soldiers and Nixon's coming. Tin soldiers and Nixon's coming. . We're finally on our own. This summer I hear them drumming. Four dead in Ohio. . Gotta get down to it.
How can you say that you love me,. When you never look me in the face.. How can you say that you need me,. When you've been messing around.. All over the place..
